allocated among people and
businesses in the United States?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

America is a good example of a free-market economy. In this type of market, productive resources are allocated through the interaction of a willing buyer and a willing seller. In a market economy, Mutual beneficial exchange of resources through trade is relied upon to solve economic problems. An Individual's self-interest is viewed as a benefit to society.

In a free-market economy like in America, purchasing power determines who owns resources. Resource owners are motivated by profits and other self-interest to engage in production. The forces of supply and demand control activities in a Free Market. Consumers decide what will be produced. In market economies,  operation and acquisition of resources is by the freely and self-directed interaction between consumers and producers.

Suppose you purchase a​ ten-year bond with annual coupons.You hold the bond for four years and sell it immediately after receiving the fourth coupon. If the​ bond's yield to maturity was when you purchased and sold the​ bond, a. What cash flows will you pay and receive from your investment in the bond per face​ value? b. What is the internal rate of return of your​ investment?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The Full question is "Suppose you purchase a 10-year bond with 6% annual coupons. You hold the bond for four years, and sell it immediately after receiving the fourth coupon. If the bond’s yield to maturity was 5% when you purchased and sold the bond, what cash flows will you pay and receive from your investment in the bond per $100 face value?"

Face Value = $100  

YTM = 5%

Annual Coupon = 6% * $100 = $6

Purchase Price = $6*PVIFA(5%, 10) + $100*PVIF(5%, 10)

Purchase Price = $6*(1-(1/1.05)^10)/0.05 + 100/1.05^10

Purchase Price = $107.72

Selling Price = $6*PVIFA(5%, 6) + $100*PVIF(5%, 6)

Selling Price = $6*(1-(1/1.05)^6)/0.05 + 100/1.05^6

Selling Price = $105.08

Cash Outflow at Year 0 = $107.72  

Cash Inflow at Year 1 = $6

Cash Inflow at Year 2 = $6

Cash Inflow at Year 3 = $6

Cash Inflow at Year 4 = $6 + $105.08 = $111.08

B.  The internal rate of return of your​ investment = 5.001% (Find attach the calculation)

You are considering how to invest part of your retirement savings.You have decided to put $400,000 into three​ stocks: 61% of the money in GoldFinger​ (currently $28​/share), 24% of the money in Moosehead​ (currently $73​/share), and the remainder in Venture Associates​ (currently $9​/share). Suppose GoldFinger stock goes up to $43​/share, Moosehead stock drops to $67​/share, and Venture Associates stock drops to $6 per share. a. What is the new value of the​ portfolio? b. What return did the portfolio​ earn? c. If you​ don't buy or sell any shares after the price​ change, what are your new portfolio​ weights?

Answers

Answer:

a. Number of shares of GoldFinger = 61%*400000/24

Number of shares of GoldFinger =  10166.6667

Number of shares of Moosehead = 24%*400,000/73

Number of shares of Moosehead = 1315.0685

Number of shares of Venture Associates = (1 - 61% - 24%) * 400,000/9

Number of shares of Venture Associates = 15% * 400,000/9

Number of shares of Venture Associates = 6666.6667

New value of the portfolio = 10166.6667*$43 + 1315.0685*$67 + 6666.6667*$6

New value of the portfolio = $437,166.6681 + $88,109.5895 + $40000.0002

New value of the portfolio = $565,276.2578

b. The return that the portfolio​ earn is = ($565,276.2578 - $400,000) / $400,000 = $165,276.2578 / $400,000 = 0.4131906445 = 41.32%

c. Weight of Goldfinger is now = (10166.6667*$43) / $565,276.2578

= $437166.6681 / $565,276.2578

= 0.7734

= 77.34%

Weight of Moosehead is now = (1315.0685*$67) / $565,276.2578

= $88109.5895 / $565,276.2578

= 0.15587

= 15.59%

Weight of Venture is now = 100% - 77.34 - 15.59%

= 7.07%

D0 is currently $3.00, Ke is 8 percent, and g is 5 percent. Under Plan A, D0 would be immediately increased to $3.40 and Ke and g will remain unchanged. Under Plan B, D0 will remain at $3.00 but g will go up to 6 percent and Ke will remain unchanged. a. Compute P0 (price of the stock today) under Plan A. Note D1 will be equal to D0 × (1 + g) or $3.40 (1.05). Ke will equal 8 percent, and g will equal 5 percent. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

a.

P0 = 3.4 * (1+0.05)  /  (0.08 - 0.05)

P0 = $119

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,

Do is dividend today g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return

a.

P0 = 3.4 * (1+0.05)  /  (0.08 - 0.05)

P0 = $119

At the end of May, the unadjusted trial balance of Barker Industries included the following accounts:
Debit Credit
Sales (75% represent credit sales) $400,000
Accounts Receivable $240,000
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts 1,800
Barker Industries uses the percentage of sales approach in estimating uncollectible accounts. The uncollectible accounts expense is estimated to be 3% of credit sales The net realizable value of Barker's accounts receivable in the May 31 balance sheet is:_____.
a. $250,800.b. $229,200.c. $236,400.d. $226,200.

Answers

Answer:

b. $229,200

Explanation:

Computation for the net realizable value of Barker's accounts receivable in the May 31 balance sheet

First step is to find the credit sales

Credit sales=.75(400,000)

Credit sales=300,000

Second step is to find the 3% of 300,000

3% of 300,000=9,000

Third step is to add credit sales amount to Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

9,000 +1,800

=$10,800

Last step is to find the net realizable value

Net realizable value=Accounts Receivable $240,000-$10,800

Net realizable value=$229,200

Therefore the net realizable value of Barker's accounts receivable in the May 31 balance sheet is $229,200

Smith and Jones start a business to build custom bicycles. Smith invests personal funds of $100,000 and Jones invests $70,000. Grandma Smith loans the company $24,000 with the provision it is to be paid back in 12 equal monthly payments plus 1.5% monthly interest on her original contribution. Smith and Jones agreed that ownership would be proportional to their equity investments. In addition, they borrow $40,000 from the bank at interest of 1.5% per month payable monthly. (They do not have to pay back the principal for five years, so ignore it.) They buy $120,000 worth of parts. They use $80,000 of those parts in the first month. They pay factory workers a total of $15,000 for the first month. They pay rent of $4,000 for the month for a factory. They each (not Grandma) draw salaries of $4,000 per month. They sell the resulting bicycles for $150,000. a. Prepare a balance sheet for day zero, that is, store is ready, people hired, parts on hand, money collected from bank, Grandma, Smith, and Jones. b. Prepare an income statement for the first month. c. Prepare a balance sheet for the last day of the first month. d. What is the percent ownership by Smith, Jones, and Grandma on the first day of the month.

Answers

Answer:

See answers below.

Explanation:

Question a

The balance sheet for day 0 will have the following balances.

Asset side

Parts $120,000

Cash $114,000

Total assets $234,000

Liabilities and Equity side

Capital $170,000

Short term loan $24,000

Long term loan $40,000

Total liabilities $234,000

Question b

The income statement for the first month will have the following balances.

Revenue (credit) side

Sales $150,000

Expenses (debit) side

Parts used $80,000

wages to factory workers $15,000

rent $4,000

salary $8,000

Interest on grandma's loan $360

Interest on bank loan $600.

Profit for the month $42,040.

Question c

The balance sheet for the last day of the month will have the following balances.

Asset side

Parts $40,000

Cash $234,040

Total assets $274,040

Liabilities and Equity side

Capital $170,000

Profit (added to reserves) $42,040

Short term loan $22,000

Long term loan $40,000

Total liabilities $274,040

Question d

Grandma is not an equity owner since she will be repaid after 1 year.

Therefore, percentage ownership by Smith, Jones and Grandma will be as follows in the ratio of their equity contribution.

Total capital contributed = 100,000 + 70,000 = 170,000

Smith percentage ownership = [tex]\frac{100,000}{170,000}[/tex] = 58.8%

Jones percentage ownership = [tex]\frac{70,000}{170,000}[/tex] = 41.2%

Grandma's ownership = 0% (no equity contribution).

Answers

Answer:

90,000

Explanation:

An intangible asset is an asset that is not physical in nature. Goodwill, brand recognition and intellectual property, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights, are all intangible assets.

Trademarks                                                 = 15,000

Excess of cost over the fair value of net

identifiable assets  (Goodwill)                     = 75,000

Total intangible assets                                 = 90,000

What is the present value at 18 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What is the present value at 24 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

there are no cash flows given, so I will use another question as an example:

NCF year 0 = -$1,150,000

NCF year 1 = $275,000

NCF year 2 = $275,000

NCF year 3 = $275,000

NCF year 4 = $275,000

NCF year 5 = $275,000

NCF year 6 = $275,000

NCF year 7 = $275,000

a) when cash flows are the same for all the years, you can use an ordinary annuity factor:

PV = $275,000 x 4.86842 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 7 periods) = $1,338,815.50

NPV = -$1,150,000 + $1,338,815.50 = $188,815.50

b) PV = $275,000 x 3.81153 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 7 periods) = $1,048,170.75

NPV = -$1,150,000 + $1,048,170.75 = -$101,829.25

c) PV = $275,000 x 3.24232 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 7 periods) = $891,638

NPV = -$1,150,000 + $891,638 = -$258,362

If the cash flows are different, then you must discount each cash flow individually.

E.g. NCF year 0 = -$150,000

NCF year 1 = $75,000

NCF year 2 = $85,000

NCF year 3 = $95,000

NPV = -$150,000 + $75,000/1.1 + $85,000/1.1² + $95,000/1.1³ = $59,804.66

Corporation A has the following returns for the past three years: 7 percent, 13 percent, and 10 percent. Assume each year return had the same probability (weights of 1/3 each). Calculate the expected return

Answers

Answer:

10.00%

Explanation:

The expected return is the weighted average of all the returns recorded thus far wherein the probability of each return occurring is used as the weight of each return as shown below:

Expected return=sum of (weight* value of return)

Expected return=(7%*1/3)+(13%*1/3)+(10%*1/3)

Expected return=0.023333333 +0.043333333 +0.033333333

Expected return=10.00%

Cameroon Corp. manufactures and sells electric staplers for $16 each. If 10,000 units were sold in December, and management forecasts 4% growth in sales each month, the number of units of electric stapler sales budgeted for March should be:_______

Answers

Answer:

= $173,056

Explanation:

The computation of the number of units of electric stapler sales budgeted for March is shown below:-

February = 10,000 + (4% × 10,000)

= 10,400

March = 10,400 + (4% × 10,400)

= 10816

and finally

The Budget sale for stapler for the month of March = 10,816 × 16

= $173,056

If Tonya purchased 200 decorative pillows at $12 each and sold 75 of the pillows for $20 each, what is the cost of goods sold

Answers

Answer:

the cost of goods sold is $1,500

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold is

= Opening inventory + purchase - ending inventory

= $0 + 200 × $12 - (200 × $12 - 75 × $20)

= $ + $2,400 - ($2,400 - $1,500)

= $2,400 - $900

= $1,500

hence, the cost of goods sold is $1,500

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered

You are a business owner of a firm that services trucks. A customer would like to rent a truck from you for one week, while you service his truck. You must decide whether or not to rent him a truck. You have an extra truck that you will not use for any other purpose during this week. This truck is leased for a full year from another company for $300/ week plus $.50 for every mile driven. You also have paid an annual insurance premium, which costs $50/ week to insure the truck. The truck has a full 100-gallon fuel tank. The customer has offered you $600 to rent the truck for a week. The price includes the 100 gallons of fuel that is in the tank. It also includes the 100 gallons of fuel that is in the tank. It also includes up to 500 miles of driving. The customer will pay $.50 for each additional mile that he drives above the 500 miles. You anticipate that the customer will bring back the truck with an empty fuel tank and will have driven more than 500 miles. You sell fuel to truckers at a retail price $4.00/gallon. Any fuel you sell or use can be replaced at a wholesale price of $3.25/gallon. The customer will rent a truck from another company if you do not accept the proposed deal. In either case, you will service his truck. You know the customer and are confident that he will pay all charges incurred under the agreement.
1. Should you accept or reject the proposed deal? Why, or why not? Show calculations.
2. Would your answer change if your fuel supplier limited the amount of fuel that you could purchase from him at the wholesale price? Explain.

Answers

Explanation:Given data:

Yearly lease from the company = $300/weekly +$.50 for every driven mile.

Annual insurance = $50/weekly.

Customer offer = $600 for a week ( 100 gallons of fuel in the truck inclusive).

Customer pays and additional $.50 for mile driven above 500.

Solution:

Cost of fuel in the truck

= 100 * $3.25

= $325.

Insurance cost = $50.

Total cost = $375.

Customer offer – total cost

= $600 – $375.

= $225.

1.The proposal should be accepted because even after deductions of the cost of running the truck, you are still left with $225 which doesn’t include the cost the customer would incite for driving above 500 miles.

2.No, as that would only have a little effect on the cost of running the truck. So my answer would still be same.

A double-entry accounting system is an accounting system: Multiple Choice That records each transaction twice. That records the effect of each transaction in at least two accounts with equal debits and credits. In which each transaction affects and is recorded in two or more accounts but that could include two debits and no credits. That allows total credits to be greater than total debits. That allows total debits to be greater than total credits.

Answers

Answer:

That records the effect of each transaction in at least two accounts with equal debits and credits.

Explanation:

Westbank Real Estate, Inc. owns 10 acres of forested land. Westbank wants the land cleared in order to build houses. Westbank emails a signed electronic memorandum to a representative of Hardell Lumber Co. offering to sell the mature trees and rich topsoil to Hardell for lumber and agricultural purposes. The electronic memorandum includes the parties' typed names, the consideration, the price, and a description of the property, lumber, and soil. Hardell replies via email to Westbank that it accepts Westbank's terms, electronically signs the memorandum, and will start removing the trees and soil next month. Before Hardell can begin clearing the land, Westbank changes its mind, wants to keep the land forested, and prevents Hardell from accessing the property claiming no contract has been formed.

Joint Cost Allocation—Net Realizable Value Method Nature's Garden Inc. produces wood chips, wood pulp, and mulch. These products are produced through harvesting trees and sending the logs through a wood chipper machine. One batch of logs produces 20,304 cubic yards of wood chips, 14,100 cubic yards of mulch, and 9,024 cubic yards of wood pulp. The joint production process costs a total of $32,000 per batch. After the split-off point, wood chips are immediately sold for $25 per cubic yard while wood pulp and mulch are processed further. The market value of the wood pulp and mulch at the split-off point is estimated to be $22 and $24 per cubic yard, respectively. The additional production process of the wood pulp costs $5 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $30 per cubic yard. The additional production process of the mulch costs $4 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $32 per cubic yard.

Answer with Explanation:

According to International Accounting Standard IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, the cost of the asset acquired must include all the cost necessary to make it ready for its intended use.

This means that the expenditure that is the legal cost or must be very important for making it ready for use must form part of the asset.

The double entry of such transaction is as under:

Rocky Mountain Bottling Company produces a soft drink that is sold for a dollar. At production and sales of 1,000,000 units, the company pays $700,000 in production costs, half of which are fixed costs. At that volume, general, selling, and administrative costs amount to $320,000, of which $70,000 are fixed costs. What is the amount of contribution margin per unit

Answers

Answer:

contribution margin per unit = $0.40

Explanation:

total variable production costs = $350,000

total fixed production costs = $350,000

total variable S&A expenses = $250,000

total fixed S&A expenses = $70,000

total costs = $1,020,000

total fixed costs = $420,000

total variable costs = $600,000

sales price = $1

variable cost per unit = $600,000 / 1,000,000 = $0.60

contribution margin per unit = $1 - $0.60 = $0.40

The ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts would be ________. Prepare all necessary journal entries.

Answers

Answer:

$$7,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts

Using this formula

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance =

Debts - Write offs + Bad Debt Expense

Let plug in the formula

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance= $5,000 - $18,000 + (2.5%*$800,000)

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance= $5,000 - $18,000 + $20,000

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance = $$7,000

Therefore the ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts would be $7,000

As if the company declared and paid the cash dividend so the same is to be considered in the financing activities of the cash flow statement.

This amount should be shown in the negative amount as it decreases the cash that means it is an outflow of cash

Hence, the correct option is d. and the same is to be considered

Debts = $275,000

Net equity after debt = $125,000

Weight in equity = $125,000/$400,000 = 0.31

Weight in debt = $275,000/$400,000 = 0.69

b) The weight in equity shows the relationship between the equity and the total capital (equity and debt) in use in Epiphany after the sale of debt and repurchase of outstanding equity.

c) The weight in debt shows the relationship between the debt capital and the total capital (equity and debt) in use in Epiphany after the sale of debt and repurchase of outstanding equity.

Iverson Company purchased a delivery truck for $45,000 on January 1, 2018. The truck was assigned an estimated useful life of 5 years and has a residual value of $10,000. Compute depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method for the years 2018 and 2019.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $45,000

Useful life= 5 years

Salvage value= $10,000

To calculate the annual depreciation under the double-declining balance method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

2018:

Annual depreciation= 2[(45,000 - 10,000) / 5]

Annual depreciation= 14,000

2019:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(35,000 - 14,000)/5]

Annual depreciation= $8,400

The depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method in 2018 is $18,000 and in 2019 is $10,800.

The double-declining balance method is an accelerated depreciation method when compared with other deprecation methods.

Depreciation expense = (2 x cost of the asset) / useful life of the asset

Deprecation expense in 2018

(2 x $45,000) / 5 = $18,000

Deprecation expense in 2019

Book value in 2019 = cost of the asset - deprecation expense

$45,000 - $18,000 = $27,000

Deprecation expense = (2 x $27,000) / 5 = $10,800

All three of the $5000 billion GDP figures (Production, Income and Spending) are in ____________ dollars.

Answers

Answer: D inflation adjusted, real

Explanation:

The GDP calculation acquired in the flow chart of $5,000 billion were all done after adjusting for inflation which means that they were in real dollars.

Inflation adjusted GDP enables more effective comparison between different periods as inflation tends to inflate the prices of goods and services and can make one think that the economy has grown more than it actually has.

When the value of GDP is inflation adjusted, it can then be seen just how much the economy improved or shrank.
