Tom Cruise Lines Inc. issued bonds five years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 20-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point as described below:
Real rate of return 4 %
Inflation premium 5
Risk premium 4
Total return 13 %
Assume that five years later the inflation premium is only 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 15 years remaining until maturity. Use Appendix B and Appendix D.
Answer:
"1143.817" is the appropriate answer.
Explanation:
According to the question:
Risk premium is:
= [tex]4+3+4[/tex]
= [tex]11 \ percent[/tex]
K = N
⇒ Bond Price = [tex]\Sigma [\frac{Coupon}{(1 + YTM)^k} ] + \frac{Per \ value}{(1 + YTM)^N}[/tex]
[tex]k = 1[/tex]
K = 15
On putting the values, we get
⇒ Bond Price = [tex]\Sigma [\frac{13\times \frac{1000}{100} }{(1 + \frac{11}{100})^k} ] + \frac{1000}{(1 + \frac{11}{100} )^{15}}[/tex]
= [tex]1143.817[/tex]

Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process.
1. The company has amortized the $19.80 million cost of the patent on a straight-line basis, since it was acquired at the beginning of 2012.
2. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost.
3. The decision was made at the end of 2016 (before adjusting and closing entries).
What is the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2016 to reflect the revised estimate.
(If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.50).) Record the adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2016.

Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon, and employees at grocery stores earn $21.50 per hour. Indicate the following whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it results in a shortage or a surplus or has no effect on the price and quantity that prevail in the market.
a. There are many teenagers who would like to work at grocery stores, but the minimum-wage law sets the hourly wage at $25.00.
b. The government has instituted a legal minimum price of $2.30 per gallon for milk.
c. The government prohibits grocery stores from selling milk for more than $2.30 per gallon.
Explanation:
at price ceiling we have price set at a maximum level. it cannot be raised beyond this level. At binding price ceiling, price would be set to be lower than what is the equilibrium price level. a non binding price ceiling is set to be higher than equilibrium level.
At price floor, price is set to a particular minimum level. It cannot fall lower than this. At binding price floor, price is higher than equilibrium price' at non binding price floor, it is set to be lower than equilibrium price level.
this expalnation should help us to answer this question.
(a) Many teenagers would like to work but minimum wage is set at 25.00 we have Price floor, Binding
(b) Government instituted legal minimum price of a gallon of milk at $2.30 we have Price floor, Non-binding
(c) if the Government prohibits from selling milk for more than $2.30 per gallon then we have Price ceiling, Binding
The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study the tradeoff between time spent sleeping and working and to look at other factors affecting sleep:
sleep = β0 + β1totwrk + β2educ + β3age + u,
where sleep and totwrk (total work) are measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (See also Computer Exercise.)
(i) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of β1?
(ii) What signs do you think β2 and β3 will have?
(iii) Using the data in SLEEP75.RAW, the estimated equation is
= 3,638.25 - .148 totwrk - 11.13 educ + 2.20 age n = 706, R2 = .113.
If someone works five more hours per week, by how many minutes is sleep predicted to fall? Is this a large tradeoff?
(iv) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ.
(v) Would you say totwrk, educ, and age explain much of the variation in sleep? What other factors might affect the time spent sleeping? Are these likely to be correlated with totwrk?
Use the data in SLEEP75.RAW from Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study whether there is a tradeoff between the time spent sleeping per week and the time spent in paid work. We could use either variable as the dependent variable. For concreteness, estimate the model
sleep =β0+ β1totwrk+u, where sleep is minutes spent sleeping at night per week and totwrk is total minutes worked during the week.
(i) Report your results in equation form along with the number of observations and R2. What does the intercept in this equation mean?
(ii) If totwrk increases by 2 hours, by how much is sleep estimated to fall? Do you find this to be a large effect?
Answer:
1. I²1 will have a negative sign
This is because the more work the adults do, the less sleep they will utilize.
2. The sign of i²2 is likely to be negative. This is because due to the demands placed on them, more educated people are likely to sleep less. Also, general as age increases some people sleep less. While some others sleep more as it increases. So i²3 is a bit complicated to judge.
3. Using the data
^sleep = 3638.24-0.148toteork-11.13educ + 2.20age
N = 706 r² = 0.113
We will convert 5 hours to minutes = 60x5 = 300
Coefficient of totwork = 0.148
O.148x300 = 44.4 minutes
In a week approximately 45 minutes of less sleep is not too much a change.
4. We are to discuss the sign and magnitude of estimated education
More education indicates less sleeping time. This is obvious given the sign of the variable educ. It is negative, but it's effect is quite small. Magnitude is -11.13.
So as education increases by 1 year, expected sleeping time decreases by 11.13 minutes weekly.
5. R² is 0.113. the 3 predictor variables gives us 11.3% of total variations in sleep and rest. 88.7% is unexplained.
Some factors that might also affect it are general health, number and age of children are factors that could correlate with totwork
Bird Corp.'s trademark was licensed to Brian Co. for royalties of 15% of the sales of the trademarked items. Royalties are payable semiannually on March 15 for sales in July through December of the prior year, and on September 15 for sales in January through June of the same year. Bird received the following royalties from Brian:
March 15 September 15
20X4 $5,000 $7,500
20X5 6,000 8,500
Brian estimated that the sales of the trademarked items would total $30,000 for July through December 20X5. In Bird's 20X5 Income Statement, the royalty revenue should be:______.
a. $13,000.
b. $14,500.
c. $19,000.
d. $20,500.
Answer:
a. $13,000
Explanation:
Calculation for what royalty revenue should be
First step is to find the estimated amount for the second half of the year
Royalties for the second half =
15%*$30,000
Royalties for the second half= $4,500
Now let Compute for the total royalty revenue
Total royalty revenue for 20X5=$8,500+$4,500
Total royalty revenue for 20X5=$13,000
Therefore the royalty revenue should be $13,000

Robert G. Flanders Jr., the state-appointed receiver for Central Falls, RI, said his city's declaration of bankruptcy had proved invaluable in helping it cut costs. Before the city declared bankruptcy, he said, he had found it impossible to wring meaningful concessions out of the city's unions and retirees, who were being asked to give up roughly half of the pensions they had earned as the city ran out of cash.
True or False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Missing question: The ability to declare bankruptcy increased the disagreement value of the city during negotiation with the unions
Alternatives available to an agreement determine the terms of an agreement. If bankruptcy is been declared in a situation where the cities can manipulate and evade much of their pension obligations owed to unions, such scenarios gives the city a much better alternative, if the favorable agreement with the city's unions and retirees emerge.
Calloway Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $790,000 in a 10-year finance lease. The interest rate charged by the lessor was 10%. The balance in the right-of-use asset after two years will be:
Answer:
$632,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of balance in the right of use asset after two years is shown below:
Balance in right of use asset after 2 years is
= Recorded value - ((Recorded value × rate of interest) × number of years)
= $790,000 - (($790,000 × 10%) × 2)
= $790,000 - ($79,000 × 2)
= $790,000 - $158,000
= $632,000
hence, the balance is $632,000
Julie Brown is a single woman in her late 20s. She is renting an apartment in the fashionable part of town for $1,000 a month. After much thought, she's seriously considering buying a condominium for $175,000. She intends to put 20 percent down and expects that closing costs will amount to another $5,000; a commercial bank has agreed to lend her money at the fixed rate of 6 percent on a 15-year mortgage. Julie would have to pay an annual condominium owner's insurance premium of $560 and property taxes of $1,000 a year (she's now paying renter's insurance of $550 per year). In addition, she estimates that annual maintenance expenses will be about 0.5 percent of the price of the condo (which includes a $30 monthly fee to the property owners' association). Julie's income puts her in the 25 percent tax bracket (she itemizes her deductions on her tax returns), and she earns an after-tax rate of return on her investments of around 4 percent.
Required:
a. Evaluate and compare Julie’s alternatives of remaining in the apartment or purchasing the condo.
b. Working with a friend who is a realtor, Julie has learned that condos like the one that she’s thinking of buying are appreciating in value at the rate of 3.5 percent a year and are expected to continue doing so. Would such information affect the rent-or-buy decision made in a?
c. Discuss any other factors that should be considered when making a rent-or-buy decision.
d. Which alternative would you recommend for Julie in light of your analysis?
Answer:
a. Julie should continue live in her own apartment.
b. She should then purchase the condo
c. Home maintenance cost and tax benefit.
d. She should live in her own apartment and rent the condo after purchase.
Explanation:
Buying cost of condo $175,000
Loan interest amount $8,400 [ $175,000 * 80% * 6%]
Insurance premium $10 [560 - 550]
Property taxes $1,000
Maintenance expense $875 [$175,000 * 0.5%]
Total additional cost per year $10,280
If Julie plans to buy the condo she will have to incur additional cost of $10,280 per annum.
b. If the price of condo increases by 3.5% per year then she should consider buying the condo.

All of the following are forms of cognitive bias except:_____.
A. Confirmation bias: This bias occurs when decision makers seek out evidence that confirms their previously held beliefs, while discounting or diminishing the impact of evidence in support of differing conclusions.
B. Anchoring: This is the overreliance on an initial single piece of information or experience to make subsequent judgments. Once an anchor is set, other judgments are made by adjusting away from that anchor, which can limit one’s ability to accurately interpret new, potentially relevant information.
C. Shifting: This is the bias involved in shifting perspectives too rapidly, thereby forgoing objectivity and sound reasoning.
D. Halo effect: This is an observer’s overall impression of a person, company, brand, or product, and it influences the observer’s feelings and thoughts about that entity’s overall character or properties. It is the perception, for example, that if someone does well in a certain area, then they will automatically perform well at something else regardless of whether those tasks are related.
E. Overconfidence bias: This bias occurs when a person overestimates the reliability of their judgments. This can include the certainty one feels in her own ability, performance, level of control, or chance of success.
Answer:
Option C would be the correct answer.

In 1993, Tamarisk Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,320,000 and first occupied it in January 1994. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $68,800 at the end of that time. Early in 2004, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $580,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $23,200. In 2022, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2053, or 20 years beyond the original estimate.

c. Prepare the entry, if necessary, to adjust the account balances because of the revision of the estimated.
d. Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2022.
Answer:
a. Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1994 through 2003.
depreciable value = $2,320,000 - $68,800 = $2,251,200
annual depreciation expense = $2,251,200 / 40 years = $56,280
b. Compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 2004 through 2022.
annual depreciation expense = $56,280 + [($580,000 - $23,200) / 30 years] = $74,840
c. Prepare the entry, if necessary, to adjust the account balances because of the revision of the estimated.
no journal entry required, the carrying value is the same, only the annual depreciation expense will change
d. Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2022.
accumulated depreciation until 2022 = (10 years x $56,280) + (18 x $74,840) = $1,909,920
carrying value = ($2,320,000 + $580,000) - $1,909,920 = $2,900,000 - $1,909,920 = $990,080
depreciable value = $990,080 - $68,800 - $23,200 = $898,080
annual depreciation = $898,080 / 32 years = $28,065
f Europe has a real GDP growth rate of 5%, and the United States has a real GDP growth rate of 6%, while money growth in Europe is 7%, and money growth in the United States is 5%, what would the monetary exchange rate model predict for exchange rates in the long run
Answer:
the dollar will appreciate by 3% against the euro
Explanation:
long run change in the exchange rate = (growth rate money supply Europe - growth rate money supply US) - (growth rate real GDP Europe - growth rate real GDP US) = (7% - 5%) - (5% - 6%) = 2% - (-1%) = 2% + 1% = 3%
This is a very simplistic approach to the monetary exchange rate model, but since we are given only this information, it's all that we can use.
Consider an economy that produces only chocolate bars. In year 1, the quantity produced is 3 bars and the price is $2. In year 2, the quantity produced is 5 bars and the price is $4. In year 3, the quantity produced is 7 bars and the price is $6.
Required:
Using year 1 as the base year, compute nominal GDP, real GDP, and the GDP deflator for each year.
Answer:
Nominal GDP in year 1 = $6
Nominal GDP in year 2 = $20
Nominal GDP in year 3 = $42
Real GDP in year 1 = $6
Real GDP in year 2 = $10
Real GDP in year 3 = $14
GDP deflator in year 1 = 100
GDP deflator in year 2 = 200
GDP deflator in year 3 = 300
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
Nominal GDP = quantity produced x current year price
Nominal GDP in year 1 = (3 x $2) = $6
Nominal GDP in year 2 = 5 x $4 = $20
Nominal GDP in year 3 = 7 x $6 = $42
Real GDP = quantity produced x base year price
Real GDP in year 1 = (3 x $2) = $6
Real GDP in year 2 = 5 x $2 = $10
Real GDP in year 3 = 7 x $2 = $14
GDP deflator = nominal GDP / Real GDP x 100
GDP deflator in year 1 = $6 / $6 x 100 = 100
GDP deflator in year 2 = $20 / $10 x 100= 200
GDP deflator in year 3 = $42 / 14 x 100 = 300

Deferral adjustments are needed when the business:
a. Pays cash after the expense has been incurred.
b. Unanswered pays cash before the expense has been incurred.
c. Unanswered receives cash after the revenue has been generated.
d. Unanswered receives cash before the revenue has been generated.
Answer:
The correct answers are the options B and D: Pays cash before the expense has been incurred. And receives cash before the revenue has been generated.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the accounting field the term of "Deferral Adjustments" refers to those that the accountant does when they postpone the report of it in the income statement until a later period, so that means that when an event happens they might decide to postpone the report of that particular transaction doing what it is called "defer". Moreover, the two most common cases when the accountants use this technique are the ones choosen from the options, the cases B and D.
Consider the experiments. Experiment 1: A study is done to determine which of two fuel mixtures allows a rocket to travel farther over a period of time. Rocket A, which requires additional equipment to keep it stable, is used to test one fuel mixture, and rocket B is used to test the other. Both rockets are identical aside from their mass. The results indicate that rocket B traveled farther than rocket A over the same period of time. Experiment 2: A double-blind experiment is performed to test whether a new drug is effective in lowering blood pressure. A random sample of subjects with high blood pressure is assigned to two groups. One group receives the new drug and the other group does not. Neither group is permitted to take any other medications during the experiment or to change their lifestyles in any way. The results of the experiment show that the drug is effective in lowering blood pressure.
Identify the experiment in which confounding occurs and the reason for its occurrence.
a. Neither experiment has a confounding variable.
b. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the fuel mixtures. Varying the fuel mixture could skew the results of the study and should be kept constant.
c. Experiment 2 has a confounding variable related to the type of experiment. A double-blind experiment may increase the risk of the placebo effect and possibly skew the results.
d. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.
e. Experiment 2 has a confounding variable related to the subjects used. Choosing a sample of subjects with high blood pressure instead of individuals with different blood pressure levels may confuse the results.
Answer:
d. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.
Explanation:
Both experiments have confounding variables. But the reasons given for the occurrence of the confounder in experiment 2 do not justify (c) and (e) as correct answers. By definition, confounders are factors other than the independent variable that cause differences in outcome. For experiment 1, the different masses of the two rockets affect the independent variable (fuel mixture) being studied, and actually cause the discrepancy in the distance traveled as indicated in answer (d). Other examples of confounders are placebo, weather, age, and experimenter bias which a double-blind can eliminate.

1. Determination of the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs $_____22,000,000
Total fixed costs $_____10,000,000
2. Determination of (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost $_____44 ($22,000,000/500,000)
Unit contribution margin $_____50 ($94 - $44)
3. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year:
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs/Contribution per unit
= $10,000,000/$50 = 200,000 units
4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed costs/Contribution per unit
= $11,800,000/$50 = 236,000
5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year
Break-even sales (units) to achieve income target = (Fixed costs + Income target)/Contribution per unit
= ($11,800,000 + 15,000,000)/$50
= 536,000
6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.

Answer:
a. Current Ratio = current assets / current liabilities = 190,000 / 153,000 = 1.24
b. Acid-test ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities = (190,000 - 50,000) / 153,000 = 0.92
c. Times interest earned = EBIT / interest expense = 65,000 / 8,000 = 8.13
d. Inventory turnover = COGS / inventory = 90,000 / 50,000 = 1.8
e. Total asset turnover = net sales / total assets = 210,000 / 525,000 = 0.4
f. Operating profit margin = operating income / total sales = 65,000 / 210,000 = 0.31
g. Days in receivables = (accounts receivables / total sales) x 365 = (30,000 / 210,000) x 365 = 52.14 days
h. Operating return on assets = operating income / total assets = 65,000 / 525,000 = 0.12
i. Debt ratio = total liabilities / total assets = 273,000 / 525,000 = 0.52
j. Fixed asset turnover = total sales / fixed assets = 210,000 / 335,000 = 0.63
k. Return on equity = net income / total equity = 45,030 / 252,000 = 0.18
