If the inflation rate was 2.40% and the nominal interest rate was 7.20% over the last year, what was the real rate of interest over the last year? Disregard cross-product terms; that is, if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average. Round intermediate calculations to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the real rate of interest is 4.80%

Explanation:

The computation of the real rate of interest is shown below:

Real rate of interest is

= Nominal rate of interest - inflation rate

= 7.20% - 2.40%

= 4.80%

It is the difference between the nominal rate of interest and the inflation rate and the same is to be considered

hence, the real rate of interest is 4.80%

Comprehensive CVP analysis "I’ll never understand this accounting stuff," Blake Dunn yelled, waving the income statement he had just received from his accountant in the morning mail. "Last month, we sold 2,000 stuffed State University mascots and earned $6,565 in operating income. This month, when we sold 3,000 I thought we’d make $9,848. But this income statement shows an operating income of $11,615! How can I ever make plans if I can’t predict my income? I’m going to give Janice one last chance to explain this to me," he declared as he picked up the phone to call Janice Miller, his accountant.

Answers

Answer:

The problem with Blake's reasoning is that he believes that all costs are variable, and that is not true. In order to predict future profits, he divided $6,565 by 2,000 stuffed mascots = $3.2825 profit per stuffed mascot sold. But when sales increased to 3,000 units, the profits increased much more.

This happens because some costs are variable and change directly with the number of units sold, while others are fixed and remain the same regardless of the number of units sold.

The question is incomplete, the accounts are missing, so I looked for them:

Advertising expense 1,000 1,400

Insurance expense 585 585

Operating income $6,565 $11,615

The income statement using the contribution margin format would be as follows:

Income Statement              Year 1                  Year 2

*high low cost method for wages expense and advertisement expense:

variable wages expense = ($5,000 - $3,500) / (3,000 - 2,000) = $1.50 per unit

fixed wages expense = $5,000 - (3,000 x $1.50) = $500

variable advertising expense = ($1,400 - $1,000) / (3,000 - 2,000) = $0.40 per unit

fixed advertising expense = $1,400 - (3,000 x $0.40) = $200

The company anticipates that it will win this therefore making it probable that it will do so. The amount is also quantifiable as well. However, going by the Accrual principle in Accounting, revenue is only recorded when earned.

The Gain Contingent will have to be recorded as a footnote until it is realized then it can be recorded.

The correct answer is Overconfidence bias

Explanation:

Overconfidence bias is the result of an excessive and unrealistic estimation of one's skills, knowledge, ideas, etc even to the point the individual considers himself better than others or does not have an objective perception about himself. This type of bias can lead to negative consequences, for example, by overestimating his ability to pass a test a student might choose not to study at all and then fail the test. Moreover, this can be avoided by assessing realistically one's skills, judgments, etc. According to this, the type of bias that can be avoided is overconfidence bias.

5. Suppose Hillard Manufacturing sold an issue of bonds with a 12-year maturity, a $1,000 par value, a 10% coupon rate, and semiannual interest payments. Two years after the bonds were issued, the going rate of interest on bonds such as these fell to 5%. At what price would the bonds sell

Answers

Answer:

Price of bonds = $1,389.73  

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond for Hillard  can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

Calculate the PV of interest payments

Semi annual interest payment

= 10% × 1,000 × 1/2 =50

PV of interest payment

A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

r- semi-annual yield = 5%/2 = 2.5%

n- 10× 2 = 20.

Note that the bonds now have 10 years to maturity because it was issued 2 years ago

PV on interest = 50 × (1-(1.025^(-20)/0.0425 = 779.45

Step 2

PV of redemption Value

PV = $1,000 × (1.025)^(-20) =   610.27

Step 3

Price of bond

=  779.45+  610.27 =  $1,389.73

Price of bonds = $1,389.73

For 2019, Bargain Basement Stores reported $11,500 of sales and $5,000 of operating costs (including depreciation). The company has $20,500 of total invested capital, the weighted average cost of that capital (the WACC) was 11%, and the federal-plus-state income tax rate was 25%. What was the firm's Economic Value Added (EVA), i.e., how much value did management add to stockholders' wealth during 2019

Answers

Answer:

Economic Value Added (EVA) = $2,620

Explanation:

WACC = 11%

Capital = $20,500

Sales = $11,500

Operating cost = $5,000

Tax rate = 25%

EBIT = Sales - Operating cost

EBIT = $11,500 - $5,000

EBIT = $6,500

Economic Value Added (EVA) = EBIT (1 - T) - (WACC * Capital)

Economic Value Added (EVA) = 6,500*( 1 - 0.25) - (0.11 * $20,500)

Economic Value Added (EVA) = $4,875 - $2,255

Economic Value Added (EVA) = $2,620

A system for physically delivering postcards, letters, and packages is known as the mail or post. The term "mail" in American English often refers to the government service that collects and delivers letters and packages. Anything that is sent to your mail box or post office box is considered mail, including letters, bills, packages, periodicals, and other items sent by the postal service. The equivalent of mail on the internet is email.

In addition to conveying mail, postal authorities frequently perform other duties. In some nations, a postal, telegraph, and telephone (PTT) service also manages the telephone and telegraph networks in addition to the postal system.

What is a company?

A group of people can get together to form a company, which is a legal body used to conduct and manage commercial or industrial business operations. Either public or private companies can exist; the former distributes equity to shareholders on a stock exchange, whereas the latter is privately held and unregulated. Companies have a significant role in the health of an economy by providing jobs and luring in disposable income to fuel expansion. The business lines of an organization rely on its structure, which can be a company, a partnership, or even a sole proprietorship. A company can engage into contracts, sue (or be sued), borrow money, pay taxes, own property, and employ people, among other legal rights and obligations, just like an individual can.

Cyber Security Systems had sales of 3,300 units at $65 per unit last year. The marketing manager projects a 20 percent increase in unit volume sales this year with a 40 percent price increase. Returned merchandise will represent 10 percent of total sales. What is your net dollar sales projection for this year?

Answers

Answer:

$324,324

Explanation:

Next year projected sales = 3300 * ( 1 + 0.20)

= 3300 * 1.20

= 3960 units

Next year price = 55 * (1+0.40)

= 65 * 1.40

= $91

Total sales = 3960 * $91

Total sales = $360,360

Sales return = $360,360  * 10%  = $36,036

Net sales = Total sales - Sales Return

Net sales = $360,360 - $36,036

Galehouse Gas Stations Inc. expects sales to increase from $1,510,000 to $1,710,000 next year. Galehouse believes that net assets (Assets − Liabilities) will represent 30 percent of sales. His firm has an 8 percent return on sales and pays 45 percent of profits out as dividends. a. What effect will this growth have on funds?

Answers

Answer:

Cash position reduces by -$24,760

Explanation:

If Gatehouse sales increases as expected the increase will be

1,710,000 - 1,510,000 = $200,000

Net assets is expected to represent 50% of sales, so this sales increase is expected to have Asset Buildup of:

0.50 * 200,000 = $100,000

Asset has a negative balance so it is -$100,000

Return on sales is 8% of the new sales value:

0.080 * 1,710,000 = $136,800 (profit)

45% of profit is paid out as dividend

0.45 * 136,800= -$61,560

It is negative as it represents cash going out

Total cash position = -100,000 + 136,800 - 61,560

Total cash position = -$24,760

Cash position reduces by -$24,760

Answer:

D. Organizations are less likely to accomplish corporate goals when employees perceive an inconsistency between the espoused values of the organization and their own personal characteristics.

Explanation:

When employees are not aligned or do not agree with company values such that their individual/personal values contradict that of the company, there is high likelihood that the company would be to reach it's company goals. This is because employees have to synchronize and internalize company values with theirs in order to move to achieve company goals. Example of some of the values of a company go against the moral values of some of the employees, there is an inconsistency here that could lead to less motivation from employees in achieving company goals

Organizations are less likely to accomplish corporate goals when employees perceive an inconsistency between the espoused values of the organization and their own personal characteristics. Option (d) is correct.

There is a strong possibility that the firm won't achieve its objectives if employees are not in line with or disagree with the company's principles to the extent that their personal and individual beliefs do. This is due to the fact that in order to proceed toward achieving company goals, personnel must synchronize and internalize company values with their own.

Answers

Answer: 5.0

Explanation:

Times interest earned ratio = Earnings before Interest and Tax / interest

Interest = 800,000 * 10%

= $80,000

Net Income = 6% of sales

= 6% * 3,200,000

= $192,000

Taxes are accounted for already so to get the taxable income;

Earnings before tax = 192,000 / ( 1 - Tax rate)

= 192,000 / ( 1 - 0.4)

= $320,000

Earnings before Interest and Tax = 320,000 + 80,000

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.28 per direct labor dollar

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor costs= $200,000.

The estimated overhead costs for the year are expected to be $156,000.

To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 200,000/156,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.28 per direct labor dollar

Why do companies use predetermined overhead rates rather than actual manufacturing overhaed costs to apply overhead to job?

Answers

Answer:

to avoid delaying the product costing exercise.

Explanation:

The actual overhead costs are usually not readily available when costing a product. Waiting for the actual costs would delay the product costing exercise, thus a company uses estimates (predetermined overhead rates) and later adjust for the over or under - application when actual information is available.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Average total assets = Beginning total assets + Ending Total assets / 2

Average total assets = 6,470 + 6,705 / 2

Average total assets =  $6,587.5

Beginning Total equity = Common stock + Retained earnings

Beginning Total equity =  $3,240 + $3,080

Beginning Total equity = $6,320

Ending Total equity = Common stock + Retained earnings

Ending Total equity= $880 + $1,130  

Ending Total equity = $2,010

Average total equity = Beginning Total equity + Ending Total equity / 2

Average total equity = $6,320 + $2,010 / 2

Average total equity = $4,165

Equity multiplier for 2017 =  Average total assets / Average total equity

Equity multiplier for 2017 = $6,587.5 / $4,165

Nothing ConstantNothing is constant but change.Heraclitus, an ancient Greek philosopher1 It was the last day of school; the kids were gone, the books had been collected, and Principal Drake was handing out final paychecks. This was normally a relaxed meeting at which teachers wearing casual clothes smiled and wished each other well for the summer. But no one was smiling today, because a story in the local newspaper had exploded like a crack of thunder.2 The headline read, Board of Education Plans New Middle School, and the staff members of East Orange Elementary were rattled.3 Principal Tom Drake opined, I am concerned about a situation in which a newspaper already knows school district information that comes as a surprise to me and my teachers. He continued, But of far greater concern is what this means for us, for our colleagues at West Orange, and for students and parents throughout the district.4 Coach Melinda Gardner whispered to her friend, Mr. Dale French, Old Tom is just worried the Board might ask him to retire and make someone else principal of the new campus.5 Mr. French whispered back, Melinda, you be nice now, but he couldnt help smiling at his friends remark.6 As the meeting went on, many teachers worried out loud about what might happen if grades 6-8 from East and 6-8 from West consolidated.7 Ever since the two elementary schools had opened, decades ago, the district had proudly maintained a unique system. While surrounding districts had built new middle schools, Orange kept two elementary buildingsEast and Westwith K-8 graders in each.8 Now, according to the paper, the results of the 2010 census were in. They suggested population growth would soon fill both elementary schools with K-5 students only. Apparently, the Board thought the time was ripe to build one new middle school for 6-8 graders.9Will one campus need two middle school science labs? Dr. Fred Davis, the science department head, asked the group in his usual shy, quiet voice.10Since there is only one middle school library, is the Board going to honor seniority? Mrs. Betty Green asked brashly. Or the Board could just keep whichever librarian has the coolest photos on her social media site, she added sarcastically.11Mrs. Green is worried her lack of computer skills might finally hurt her, Coach Gardner whispered to Mr. French again.12Coach Gardner, please! Principal Drake scolded his gym teacher for whispering. You would not tolerate it if your students were rude. This turn of events has caused real alarm so lets be sensitive to each others concerns.13I apologize for both of us, Tom, Mr. French offered. But lets not get carried away and spoil our summers over this. We dont know if this proposed new campus will actually be built. The census projections could be wrong. Even if they are right, the cost of raising taxes to pay for a new school might not go over well with voters.14 Mr. French continued, I plan to enjoy my summer and expect another great year. Chances are well all have jobs because several teachers retire every year and the Board moves us around to fill the vacancies. Some of us may have new assignments, but well all land somewhere.15 All around the room there were nods of agreement. The atmosphere of gloom gave way to the usual feelings of accomplishment and relief at the end of school.16 Mr. French offered one more uplifting thought. Each spring we graduate our eighth graders and send them on to Central High. If they can adjust to a new building, I think we can too.17 With that, the teachers adjourned and summer vacation began.What do Mr. Frenchs comments throughout the story reveal about his character? A. He wants everyone to like him and be his friend. B. He wants to flatter everyone to gain their trust. C. He is a calm person and a positive influence. D. He is a man who pushes his viewpoint on others.
