Answer:
Short-selling long-term bonds and taking long position on short-term assets
Explanation:
When the yield curve ascends, the long-term bond's price will go down. Hence, do short-sell the long-term bonds. On the other hand, short-term asset's price will be depreciated because Fed tightens credit and raise short-term rate, which is the chance to purchase and make profits from capital gains.
Wanda contracted to sell Mike 100 boxes of ball bearings.The contract did not specify a place of delivery.The ball bearings now reside at Wanda's place of business.Wanda refuses to ship the 100 boxes to Mike,and Mike refuses to come to Wanda's place of business to pick them up.Who is right? Why?
Answer:
Wanda is right since the contract did not specify a place of deliveryExplanation:
Wanda is right, since the contract did not specify the place of delivery or whether Wanda is expected to deliver the bearing to Mikes place.
If it is in Wanda terms of business that normally boxes above 100 when purchased, delivery is free and he defaults, then he is wrong, but in this case it was not specified who will bear the cost of shipping, and it is not in Wanda terms of business that delivery is free, so Wanda is right in my own opinion.
Scenario: Your direct supervisor is interested in a project you are currently working on, and they have asked to increase the scope to increase the department's goals. How would you respond if your supervisor was not the project sponsor?
Scenario: Your direct supervisor is interested in a project you are currently working on, and they have asked to increase the scope to increase the department's goals. How would you respond if your supervisor was not the project sponsor?
ANSWER:
Take down his/her suggestions. The first thing is to show respect. Accept thoughts and contributions towards that project. Most times a project "sponsor" is not someone who is a professional in the field or discipline that the project is about.
If your direct supervisor has the idea of increasing the scope of the project, take note of his/her reasons and if they will truly bring the achievement of more departmental goals, then relay the idea of expansion to the project sponsor.
Answer:
At this point, the important thing is to remain calm and in control. Your supervisor, like everyone else, is likely to get confused and blame people for things that are not their fault, or even find fault that does not exist.
In that case, you should wait for him to finish speaking, ask for permission to speak and explain how you did your job and show how your supervisor is wrong about the conclusion he made. This must be done calmly and politely, always maintaining respect.

The Green Balloon just paid its first annual dividend of $0.49 a share. The firm plans to increase the dividend by 3.7 percent per year indefinitely. What is the firm's cost of equity if the current stock price is $17.2 a share
Answer:
3.80%
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of equity is shown below:
Cost of equity is
= Annual dividend paid × (1 + growth rate) ÷ Stock price + Growth rate
where,
Annual dividend paid is $0.49
Growth rate is 3.7%
And, the stock price is $17.2
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the cost of equity is
= $0.49 × (1 + 0.037) ÷ $17.20 + 0.037
= 0.00105 + 0.037
= 3.80%

Cerrone Inc. has provided the following data for the month of July. The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the month was $79,000 and at the end of the month was $72,000. The cost of goods manufactured for the month was $361,600. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $118,400 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to jobs was $112,000. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for July is:
Answer:
$375,000
Explanation:
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = Opening stock of finished goods + Cost of goods sold - Closing stock of finished goods
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = $79,000 + $361,600 - $72,000
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = $368,600
The overhead applied is $112,000 and the actual manufacturing overhead is $118,400. As the actual manufacturing overhead is more than the overhead applied, the overhead is under applied as shown below
Under-applied Overhead = Actual manufacturing overhead - Overhead applied
= $118,400 - $112,000
= $6,400
Now, calculation of the adjusted cost of goods sold is as follow
Adjusted cost of goods sold = Unadjusted cost of goods sold + Under-applied Overhead
= $368,600 + $6,400
= $375,000
Thus, the adjusted cost of goods sold is $375,000
A discount on bonds payable: Multiple Choice Occurs when a company issues bonds with a contract rate less than the market rate. Occurs when a company issues bonds with a contract rate more than the market rate. Increases the Bond Payable account. Decreases the total bond interest expense. Is not allowed in many states to protect creditors.
Answer:
Occurs when a company issues bonds with a contract rate less than the market rate.
Explanation:
As we know that
The premium on bond payable arise when the company issued the amount more than the face value amount this result in high interest rate as compared with the market interest rate
While on the other hand, the discount on note payable arise when the issued amount is less than the face value that results in low interest rate as compared with the market interest rate
Hence, the first option is correct
Anthem Inc. issues 200,000 shares of stock with a par value of $0.01 for $150 per share. Three years later, it repurchases these shares for $80 per share. Anthem records the repurchase in which of the following ways?
A. Debit Common Stock for $2.000, debit Additional Paid-in Capital for $29.998,000 and credit Cash for $30 million.
B. Debit Treasury Stock for $16 million and credit Cash for $16 million.
C. Debit Common Stock for $2,000, debit Additional Paid-in Capital for $15.998.000 and credit Cash for $16 million.
D. Debit stockholders' Equity for $30 million, credit Additional Paid-in Capital for $16 million and credit Cash for $16 million.
Answer:
B. Debit treasury stock for $16 million and Credit cash for $16 million
Explanation:
The journal entry below shows how Anthem records the repurchase
Treasury stock account Dr. $16 million
(200,000 shares × $80 per share)
To Cash account Cr. $16 million
Treasury stock is debited so as to decrease total shareholder's equity while cash is credited in order to record the expenditure of the company.
In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $7 million, patent; $5 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $9 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life.
Required:
What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items?
Answer:
$1,400,000 per year
Explanation:
DATA
Patent = 7 million with 5years useful life
Trademark = 5 million with an indefinite life
Goodwill = 9million
Amortization =?
Solution
Amortization of patent = Patent Value/ Useful life
Amortization of patent = $7,000,000/5
Amortization of patent = $1,400,000 per year
NOTE: Trademark and goodwill will not be amortized as they have an indefinite useful life. Both Intangible assets will be tested for impairment instead.
Periodic interest rates. You have a savings account in which you leave the funds for one year without adding to or withdrawing from the account. Which would you rather have: a daily compounded rate of 0.050%, a weekly compounded rate of 0.355%, a monthly compounded rate of 1.15%, a quarterly compounded rater of 4.25%, a semiannually compounded rate of 7.5%, or an annually compounded rate of 18%? What is the effective annual rate (EAR) of a daily compounded rate of 0.050%?
Answer:
Choose an annually compounded rate of 18%
The effective annual rate (EAR) of a daily compounded rate of 0.050% is 0.05001%.
Explanation:
We need to find the effective annual rate of interest for each nominal interest and compare this for the different alternatives.
The effective annual rate of interest is the annual rate that if compounded once a year would give us the same result as the same result as the interest per period compounded a number of times a year.
Conversion of Nominal to Effective Interest Rate.
1. A daily compounded rate of 0.050%
Use a financial calculator to enter the data
P/YR = 365
Nominal interest = 0.050%
Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 0.05001%
2. A weekly compounded rate of 0.355%
Use a financial calculator to enter the data
P/YR = 52
Nominal interest = 0.355%
Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 0.3556 %
3. A monthly compounded rate of 1.15%
Use a financial calculator to enter the data
P/YR = 12
Nominal interest = 1.15%
Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 1.1561%
4. A quarterly compounded rater of 4.25%
Use a financial calculator to enter the data
P/YR = 4
Nominal interest = 4.25%
Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 4,32%
5. A semiannually compounded rate of 7.5%
Use a financial calculator to enter the data
P/YR = 2
Nominal interest = 7.5%
Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 7.64%
6. an annually compounded rate of 18%
Use a financial calculator to enter the data
P/YR = 1
Nominal interest = 18%
Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 18%
Conclusion :
Choose the option giving the HIGHEST effective annual rate.
Thu, I would rather have an annually compounded rate of 18%.
manufactures two products: A and B. The company's accounting records revealed the following per-unit costs for direct materials and direct labor: Product A Product B Production volume (units) 4,000 5,000 Direct materials $40 $60 Direct labor: 2.5 hours at $10/hour $25 2 hours at $10/hour $20 Management is considering a shift to activity-based costing and gathered the following manufacturing overhead data: Expected Activity Activity Cost Pool Estimated OH Cost Activity cost driver Product A Product B Setups $240000 Number of setups 80 40 General factory $2350000 Direct labor hours 10,000 10,000 Machine processing $120000 Machine hours 2,000 1,000 Q: Suppose the company uses conventional job-order costing with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate and direct labor hours as the allocation base. Assuming that actual and expected direct labor hours are the same, what is the unit product cost of Product B under conventional job-order costing
Answer:
Unitary cost= $351
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead costs:
Setups= $240,000
General factory= $2,350,000
Machine processing= $120,000
Total overhead= $2,710,000
Total direct labor hours= 10,000 + 10,000= 20,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,710,000/20,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $135.5 per direct labor hour
Now, we can calculate the unitary cost for Product B:
Direct materials $60
Direct labor: 2 hours at $10/hour $20
Unitary cost= 60 + 20 + 2*135.5
Unitary cost= $351

The better-off test for evaluating whether a particular diversification move is likely to generate added value for shareholders involves determining whether the proposed diversification move Group of answer choices provides the company with additional resource strengths. provides additional ways to build the entrepreneurial skills of the company's senior managers. spreads stockholders' risks across a greater number of lines of business. has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart. has good potential for increasing the company's rate of return on invested capital.
Answer: Has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart.
Explanation:
The better-off test of diversification is that the company must gain a return that is higher than incremental growth. Incremental growth is usually defined a 1 + 1 = 2 formula and this test argues that Diversification must provide more than this such that the company achieves synergistic growth ( 1 + 1 = 3) which is what happens when different entities work better together than alone.
Diversification should therefore be into an area that will be able to match-up with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart and produce even greater returns.

A bakery works out a demand function for its chocolate chip cookies and finds it to be q = D(x)= 760-13x, where q is the quantity of cookies sold when the price per cookie, in cents, is x.
Required:
a. Find the elasticity.
b. At what price is the elasticity of demand equal to 1?
c. At what prices is the elasticity of demand elastic?
d. At what prices is the elasticity of demand inelastic?
Answer:
Please refer to the below for explanation.
Explanation:
From the above, the demand function is given as ;
D(x)=760-13x
a) Find the elasticity
It means finding the derivative of the function
D'(X)=-13, hence elasticity is expressed as
xD'(x) / D'(x)
= x(-13) / 760 - 13x
= 13x / 760 - 13x
The elasticity expression is thus ; E(x)= 13x / 760 - 13x
b) At what price is the elasticity demand equal to 1.
The above means that E(X) = 1
Putting 1 for E(X) in the elasticity equation,
E(x) = 13x / 760 - 13x
1 = 13x / 760 - 13x
When you cross multiply, you'll have
760 - 13x = 13x
Collecting like terms, you'll have
760 = 13x + 13x
760 = 26x
Dividing both sides by 26, you'll have
x = 760 /26
x = 29.23
It means that the elasticity at the price of demand = 1 is 29.23
c) At what price is the elasticity of demand elastic.
The above means that E(X) > 1
Thus;
13x / 760 - 13x > 1
When you cross multiply, you'll have
13x > 760 - 13x
Collecting like terms, you'll have
13x + 13x > 760
26x > 760
Dividing both sides by 26, you'll have
x > 760/26
x > 29.23
It means that the elasticity of demand is elastic at x > 29.23
d) At what price is the elasticity of demand inelastic
The above means that E(X) < 1
Hence;
13x / 760 - 13x < 1
When you cross multiply, you'll have
13x < 760 - 13x
Collecting like terms, you'll have
13x + 13x < 76
26x < 760
Dividing both sides by 26, you'll have
x < 760/26
x < 29.23
It means that the elasticity of demand is inelastic at x < 29.23
Since stock prices will shift in response to unpredictable future news, these prices will tend to follow what mathematicians call _________________.
Answer:
a random walk with a trend
Explanation:
This model assumes that in each period the stock prices would take a random step away from what was its previous value.
Stock prices cannot be predicted therefore they are a random walk. Future prices cannot be predicted by what used to be the prices in the past. Stock prices change in response to unpredictable future news, hence they follow a random walk with a trend.

A granary allocates the cost of unprocessed wheat to the production of feed, flour, and starch. For the current period, unprocessed wheat was purchased for $240,000, and the following quantities of product and sales revenues were produced.
Product Pounds Price per Pound
Feed 100,000 $0.70
Flour 50,000 2.20
Starch 20,000 1.00
How much of the $240,000 cost should be allocated to feed?
a. $24,500.
b. $84,000.
c. $90,000.
d. $70,000.
e. $200,000.
Answer:
$84,000
Explanation:
A granny allocates the costs of unprocessed wheat to production of feed, flour and starch
The unprocessed wheat was bought at the price of $240,000
The first step is to calculate the total amount of the products(feed, flour and starch)
Feed= 100,000×0.70= 70,000
Flour= 50,000×2.0= 110,000
Starch= 20,000×1.0= 20,000
Total cost= 70,000+110,000+20,000
= $200,000
Therefore, the amount that should be allocated to the feed can be calculated as follows
= $70,000/$200,000×$240,000
= 0.35×$240,000
= $84,000
Hence the cost that should be allocated to the feed is $84,000

Explanation:
An account becomes uncollectible when an account receivable is written-off due to different situations, which means that there is no general rule for when an account becomes uncollectible.
For example, an account can become uncollectible if the debtor becomes unsolvent. It can also become uncollectible if the firm is victim of fraud, or if the firm itself decides to write-off the account due to company policy.

Assume that Number of Us Out Diminishing marginal returns become evident with the addition of the:________,
A) sixth worker.
B) fourth worker.
C) third worker.
D) second worker
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Dinmishing marginal returns occurs when as more units of labour is added, marginal output declines.
marginal output is change in total output as more units of labour are employed.
Marginal output = total output 2 - total output 1
total output = number of workers x units of output
Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 5%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that had cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $105 to purchase these supplies.
For years, Worley believed that the 5% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown below:
Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000 5,000 deliveries
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 248,000 4,000 orders
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 200,000 12,500 orders
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000 450,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,000,000
Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (both hospitals purchased a total quantity of medical supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 to buy from its manufacturers):
Activity
Activity Measure University Memorial
Number of deliveries 10 25
Number of manual orders 0 30
Number of electronic orders 15 0
Number of line items picked 120 250
Required:
Compute the total revenue that Worley would receive from University and Memorial.
Answer is complete and correct
Total Revenue
University $ 31,500
Memorial $ 31,500
Answer:
Worley CompanyComputation of Total Revenue from University and Memorial:
Total Cost = $38,541.00
Mark-up (5%) $1,927.05
Total Revenue $40,468.05
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000 5,000 deliveries
Manual order (Number of manual orders) 248,000 4,000 orders
processing
Electronic order (Number of electronic orders) 200,000 12,500 orders
processing
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000 450,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,000,000
Data on University and Memorial Hospitals:
Activity Measure University Memorial
Number of deliveries 10 25
Number of manual orders 0 30
Number of electronic orders 15 0
Number of line items picked 120 250
Activity Rates:
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000/5,000 = $100
Manual order (Number of manual orders) 248,000/4,000 = $62
processing
Electronic order (Number of electronic orders) 200,000/12,500 = $16
processing
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000/450,000 = $1
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Cost of Selling and Administrative Expenses to the two hospitals:
Activity Measure University Memorial Total Total Cost
Number of deliveries 10 25 35 $3,500
Number of manual orders 0 30 30 $1,860
Number of electronic orders 15 0 15 $240
Number of line items picked 120 250 370 $370
Total Selling and Administrative Expenses $5,970
Cost of medical supplies = $30,000
Selling and administrative expenses = $5,970
Fixed costs = $2,571
($5,970/$1,398,000 x $602,000)
Total Cost = $38,541
Mark-up (5%) $1,927.05
Selling price $40,468.05
b) The case stated that both University and Memorial had purchased a total quantity of medical supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 to buy from its manufacturers. This implies that each hospital did not buy supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 for each. Based on this assumed fact from the case, the total revenue that Worley would collect from the two hospitals after keying in the selling and distribution and head office fixed costs, to get a total cost of $38,541.00 and adding the 5% markup, the revenue that Worley would receive would be $40,468.05 ($38,541 x 1.05).
Harpeth Valley Water District has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 3.63 percent and semiannual payments. The bond matures in 23 years, with a yield to maturity of 4.17 percent, and a par value of $5,000. What is the market price of the bond
Answer:
Market price of Bond = $4603.116669 rounded off to $4603.12
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 5000 * 0.0363 * 1/2 = $90.75
Total periods (n)= 23 * 2 = 46
r = 4.17% * 1/2 = 2.085% or 0.02085
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 90.75 * [( 1 - (1+0.02085)^-46) / 0.02085] + 5000 / (1+0.02085)^46
Bond Price = $4603.116669 rounded off to $4603.12
Sampson Company's accounting records show the following at the year ending on December 31, 2014. Purchase Discounts $ 5,600 Freight-In 7,800 Purchases 350,000 Beginning Inventory 23,500 Ending Inventory 28,800 Purchase Returns and Allowances 6,400 Using the periodic system, the cost of goods sold is:
Answer:
$340,500
Explanation:
From the above information, the below data are given;
Purchase discounts $5,600, freight in $7,800, purchases 350,000, beginning inventory $23,500, closing inventory $28,800, purchase returns and allowance $6,400
Therefore, using the periodic system,
Cost of goods sold .
Cost of goods sold using the periodic system is computed by adding beginning inventory and cost of goods purchased( purchases plus freight in minus purchases return minus purchases discount) and then subtracting ending inventory.
= $23,500 + ($350,000 +$7,800 - $6,400 -$5,600) - $28,800
= $340,500
