Assume that your father is now 50 years old, that he plans to retire in 10 years, and that he expects to live for 25 years after he retires - that is, until he is 85. He wants his first retirement payment to have the same purchasing power at the time he retires as $40,000 has today. He wants all his subsequent retirement payments to be equal to his first retirement payment. (Do not let the retirement payments grow with inflation: Your father realizes that the real value of his retirement income will decline year by year after he retires). His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, and he will then get 24 additional annual payments. Inflation is expected to be 5% per year from today forward. He currently has $100,000 saved up; and he expects to earn a return on his savings of 8% per year with annual compounding.
Answer:
He must save $57,326.75 yearly for 10 years to meet his retirement goal.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
The future value of the first retirement payment of $40,000 = $86,360 ($40,000 * 2.159)
Future value factor = 2.159 at 8% for 10 years
Amount to be paid over 24 years = $960,000 ($40,000 * 24)
Total amount to be paid in 25 years of retirement = $1,046,360 ($960,000 +$86,360)
Future value of initial savings of $100,000 = $215,892.50
Amount expected to be saved in ten years = $830,467.50 ($1,046,360 - $215,892.50)
N (# of periods) 10
I/Y (Interest per year) 8
PV (Present Value) 0
FV (Future Value) 830467.50
Results
PMT = $57,326.75
Sum of all periodic payments $573,267.47

CVS pharmacy collects data from bar-coded products. These data can be evaluated and combined to monitor which CVS products are in demand by customers. CVS uses this method to track pricing data to make sure that CVS pricing is competitive. This is an example of _______.
Answer:
InfoScan.
Explanation:
A UPC is an acronym for universal product code. UPC is typically used for the identification of a specific product and its manufacturer (vendor) through a unique code that is printed on the product.
Basically, a universal product code (UPC) comprises of two (2) main parts;
A machine-readable barcode that contains sets of vertical black lines.
A unique twelve (12) digit number placed beneath or adjacent to the machine-readable barcode.
The first six-digits of the UPC represents the manufacturer and is printed on all of its products while the next five-digits is the product's unique reference number (item number) and the last digit is typically known as a check digit, used for the verification of the authenticity of a UPC.
Generally, the universal product code are usually scanned with a barcode scanner and this makes it easier to identify a product, as well as its price.
In this scenario, CVS pharmacy collects data from bar-coded products, which can be evaluated and combined to monitor its products that are in demand by customers. Also, this method is used to track pricing data to make sure that its pricing remains competitive among rivals. Thus, thiis is an example of InfoScan used for systemically scanning price information on products.
A machine shop uses a periodic system to maintain the inventory saw blades. The review period is four days and lead time is two days. They use an average of 11 saw blades per day. The standard deviation of use over a six-day period is 9 saw blades. Saw blades aren't the most critical item they carry, but the manager would like to limit the probability of a stockout to 2.5% of the time. What should their restocking level be
Answer:
the restocking level is 147 units
Explanation:
The computation of the restocking level is shown below:
= (11 × (2 + 4)) + 9 × 1.96
= 147 units
The 1.96 comes from
= 100 - 2.5%
= 97%

Swiss Furniture Company manufactures bookshelves and uses an activity-based costing system to allocate all manufacturing conversion costs. The following information is provided for the month of May:
Activity Estimated Indirect Activity Costs Allocation Base Estimated Quantity of Allocation Base
Materials handling $6,300 Number of parts 9,100 parts
Assembling $14,000 Number of parts 9,100 parts
Packaging $2,680 Number of bookshelves 910 bookshelves
Required:
Each bookshelf consists of 10 parts. The direct materials cost per bookshelf is $32.What is the total manufacturing cost per bookshelf?
Answer:
Total unitary manufacturing cost= $57.25
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 6,300/9,100= $0.69 per part
Assembling= 14,000/9,100= $1.54 per part
Packaging= 2,680/910= $2.95 per bookshelve
Each bookshelf consists of 10 parts. The direct materials cost per bookshelf is $32.
Now, we can allocate conversion costs to each unit:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 0.69*10= $6.9
Assembling= 1.54*10= $15.4
Packaging= 2.95*1 = $2.95
Total allocated costs per unit= $25.25
Finally, the total unitary manufacturing cost:
Total unitary manufacturing cost= 32 + 25.25
Total unitary manufacturing cost= $57.25

If a government fixes the wage rate above the mar-
ket equilibrium rate it will lead to
(A) ex-
cess demand for labour (B) low supply of labour
(C) excess supply of labour (D) industrial strike ac-
tions
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
Fixing the wage rate above the market equilibrium rate will disturb the demand and supply equilibrium of labor resource.
Wage rate above market will make labor as a resource costly for business and hence, there is possibility that the demand for labor will lower down. Thus, the supply of labor will get low.
Hence, option B is correct

Answer:
A bank currently has $100,000 in checkable deposits and $15,000 in actual reserves. If the reserve ratio is 20 percent, the bank has __$80,000__ in money-creating potential. If the reserve ratio is 14 percent, the bank has ___$86,000__ in money-creating potential.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Checkable deposits = $100,000
Actual reserves = $15,000
Required reserves = $20,000 ($100,000 * 20%)
Excess reserves = -$5,000 ($15,000 - $20,000)
Money-creating potential = $80,000 ($100,000 - $20,000)
Total amount of money the bank can create = $500,000 ($100,000/20%)
b) Checkable deposits = $100,000
Actual reserves = $15,000
Required reserves = $14,000 ($100,000 * 14%)
Excess reserves = $1,000 ($15,000 - $14,000)
Money-creating potential = $86,000 ($100,000 - $14,000)
Total amount of money the bank can create = $714,286 ($100,000/14%)

The $1,000 face value ABC bond has a coupon rate of 10%, with interest paid annually, and matures in 3 years. If the bond is priced to yield 12%, what is the bond's value today
Answer:
Bond Price = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96
Explanation:
To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, which is the present value of the bond, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is an annual bond, we will use the annual coupon payment, annual number of periods and annual YTM. The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 10% = $100
Total periods remaining (n) = 3
r or YTM = 12%
Bond Price = 100 * [( 1 - (1+0.12)^-3) / 0.12] + 1000 / (1+0.12)^3
Bond Price = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96
