The Dennis Company reported net income of $50,000 on sales of $300,000. The company has average total assets of $500,000 and average total liabilities of $100,000. What is the company's return on equity ratio?
A) 10.0%.B) 16.7%.C) 12.5%.D) 50.0%.
Answer:
C) 12.5%
Explanation:
The computation of the return on equity is shown below
Return on equity is
= net income ÷ equity
where,
equity is
= Total assets - total liabilities
= $500,000 - $100,000
= $400,000
Now the return on equity is
= $50,000 ÷ $400,000
= 12.50%
Hence, the return on equity is 12.50%
Therefore the corredct option is c.
About the Lagrangian method, select the correct statement: We can use it to solve consumer's utility maximization problems, but not firm's cost minimization problems. We can use it to solve both consumer's utility maximization and firm's cost minimization problems.

Answer:
About the Lagrangian method,
We can use it to solve both consumer's utility maximization and firm's cost minimization problems.
Explanation:
Lagrangian method is a mathematical strategy for finding the maxima and the minima of a function subject to equality constraints. Equality constraints mean that one or more equations have to be satisfied exactly by the chosen values of the variables. Named after the mathematician, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, the basic idea behind the Lagrangian method is to convert a constrained problem into a Lagrangian function.

D. ask the aggressive members to leave the group
E. introduce humor in the session to ward off the argument
Answer:
c. pass a clipboard for people to write their feelings.
Explanation:
terminating the discussion won't solve their hassles in their head nor asking them to leave. moment of silence, yeah it can be done but won't be that effective. so as for me I would suggest to know each of their feelings and understand them. that way we may be able to give opinions on each other's thought.
Answer:
B. call for a moment of silence
Explanation:
"Proposing silence: A moment of silence can help people to calm down and refocus if tensions are high. This also helps when there is a lot of crosstalk with people interrupting each other."

Assume that you hold a well-diversified portfolio that has an expected return of 12.0% and a beta of 1.50. You are in the process of buying 1,000 shares of Alpha Corp at $10 a share and adding it to your portfolio. Alpha has an expected return of 25% and a beta of 2. The total value of your current portfolio is $90,000. What will the expected return and beta on the portfolio be after the purchase of the Alpha stock
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Value of Investment in alpha = $1000 × 10 = $10,000
Weight of Alpha in the total investment would be = 10%
Then, the expected return would be:
= (12% × 90%) + (25% × 10%)
= (0.12 × 0.9) + (0.25 × 0.1)
= 0.108 + 0.025
= 0.133
= 13.3%
Beta will be:
= (1.50 × 90%) + (2 × 10%)
= (1.50 × 0.9) + (2 × 0.1)
= 1.35 + 0.2
= 1.55

In ________, salespeople are independent contractors who not only sell the product, but also recruit additional salespeople.
Answer:
Multi-level marketing.
Explanation:
A business organization that is run with multi-level marketing strategy typically has 3 sources of income:
- The amount of money that each person have to pay in order to gain the membership status.
- The amount of money that memberships owners have to pay to be a distributor of their product
- The amount of money that they get from the sales of their product.
Most multi-level marketing companies will provide their members with some sort of 'Reward' if they managed to convert other people into purchasing memberships to organization. So, the more their members convert other people, the more wealthy that members will be. This will create a hierarchy like within an organization where the members who bring the most memberships place at the top of the hierarchy.
As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier: Increases, decreases, stays the sameIf the marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, then, assuming there are no taxes or imports, the multiplier is: (Note: round to the nearest tenth)Given the multiplier that you calculated, what is the total impact on spending when there is a $1,000 increase in government spending?
Answer:
(a) As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier Increases.
(b) Multiplier is 3.30.
(c) Total impact on spending is $3,300.
Explanation:
(a) As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier: Increases, decreases, stays the same.
In economics, the higher the MPC, the higher the spending multiplier.
Therefore, as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier Increases.
(b) If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, then, assuming there are no taxes or imports, the multiplier is: (Note: round to the nearest tenth).
This can be calculated as follows:
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.70) = 1 / 0.30 = 3.33333333333333
Rounding to the nearest tenth, we have:
Multiplier = 3.30
(c) Given the multiplier that you calculated, what is the total impact on spending when there is a $1,000 increase in government spending?
Total impact on spending = Increase in government spending * Multiplier = $1,000 * 3.30 = $3,300
The spending multiplier rises as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) rises. 3.30 is the multiplier. The total financial impact is $3,300.
What is the total impact on spending?(a) The spending multiplier grows, declines, or remains constant when the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases.
The higher the MPC, the higher the spending multiplier in economics.
As a result, the spending multiplier rises as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) rises.
(b) If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, the multiplier is: assuming no taxes or imports (Note: round to the nearest tenth).
Computation:
[tex]\text{Multiplier} = 1 / (1 - MPC) \\= 1 / (1 - 0.70) \\= 1 / 0.30 \\= 3.33333333333333[/tex]
If we round to the nearest tenth, we get: a 3.30 multiplier
(c) Given the multiplier you computed, what is the total impact on spending when government spending is increased by $1,000?
[tex]\text{Total impact on spending = Increase in government spending} \text{ x } \text{Multiplier}\\ = $1,000 \text { x } 3.30 = $3,300[/tex]

You want to have $500,000 in today's (real) dollars when you retire in 40 years. The expected inflation rate is 1.1% and the nominal return on your investments is 6.5%. How much money do you have to save now if you can't make any additional deposits?
Answer:
Initial deposit= $62,378.07
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the nominal value of $500,000 in 40 years:
Future Value= PV*(1+r)^n
r= inflation rate
FV= 500,000*(1.011^40)
FV= $774,490.74
Now, the initial deposit (PV) to be made in the present:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
i= interest rate
PV= 774,490.74 / (1.065^40)
PV= $62,378.07
Which of the following are established by ASC 280 as "enterprisewide disclosure" standards to provide more information about the risks to a company?
I. Information about dominant industry segments.
II. Information about major customers.
III. Information about geographic areas.
A. Both II and III
B. I, II, and III
C. Both I and II
D. Both I and III
Answer:
A. Both II and III
Explanation:
As the major customers information and the geographic areas information would be created by the ASC 280 as disclosure of enterprise wide standard that provide the information more related to the company risk.

You want to buy a new sports coupe for $92,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you an APR of 74 percent for a 60 month loan to buy the car
a. What will your monthly payments be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
b. What is the effective annual rate on this loan? (Do not round intermediate celculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g. 32.16.)
a. Monthly payment
b. Effective annual rate
Answer:
a) we must first determine the effective interest rate
effective monthly interest rate = APR / 12 = 7.4% / 12 = 0.617%
monthly payment = present value x annuity factor
present value = $92,500
PV annuity factor, 0.617%, 60 periods = 50.024
monthly payment = $92,500 / 50.024 = $1,849.12
b) effective annual rate = (1 + 7.4%/12)¹² - 1 = 0.076562 = 7.66%

Kevin bought 205 shares of Intel stock on January 1, 2020, for $52 per share, with a brokerage fee of $105. Then, Kevin sells all 205 shares for $76 per share on December 12, 2020. The brokerage fee on the sale was $155. What is the amount of the gain/loss Kevin must report on his 2020 tax return
Answer: $4660
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to calculate the amount that Kevin realized on the shares which will be:
= (205 × $76) - $155
= $15580 - $155
= $15425
The purchase value will be calculated as:
= (205 × $52) + $105
= $10660 + $105
= $10765
Therefore, the gain that Kevin must report on his 2020 tax return will be:
= $15425 - $10765
= $4660
The balance sheet, the statement of cash flows, and the ______________ are three key financial statements prepared by accountants.
Group of answer choices
Answer:
Income statement
Explanation:
The income statement will provide the company's total Expenses and Revenues within one financial period.
The difference between these expenses and revenues will determine whether the company's operation is considered as profitable in that year. (if the revenue outnumbered the expenses, the company incurred a net profit).
Shareholders use company's typically use income statement to calculate the amount of revenue that they'll obtain from their percentage of shares.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts as employed people who work part-time, but would prefer to work full-time. Suppose the people who had part-time jobs, but wanted full-time jobs, were counted as unemployed. Explain how the unemployment rate and the labor force participation rate would change.
Answer:
The labor participation rate would not change because it counts the labor force as a percentage of the total adult population, and the labor force includes both the number of people employed and the number of people unemployed, so, even if those working part-time were counted as unemployed by the BLS, they would still be part of the Labor Force.
The labor participation rate formula is:
Labor Participation Rate = (Labor Force / Total Adult Population) x 100
The unemployment rate would indeed change, because it counts the number of unemployed as a percentage of the labor force. If those working part-time were counted as unemployed by the BLS, the number of people unemployed would obviously spike.
The formula is:
Unemployment Rate = (Number of Unemployed / Labor Force) x 100
Calculate the purchase price for a 52-week, $1,000 Treasury bill with a stated interest rate of 2.20 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Purchase price ___________.
Answer:
The purchase price for the Treasury bill is $978.00.
Explanation:
The following are given in the question:
Maturity value = $1,000
Interest rate = 2.20%
With these, we first calculate the amount of discount as follows:
Amount of discount = Maturity value * Interest rate = $1,000 * 2.20% = $22,00
The purchase price can now be calculated as follows:
Purchase price = Maturity value - Amount of discount = $1,000 - $22.00 = $978.00
Therefore, the purchase price for the Treasury bill is $978.00.

Consider an asset with a beta of 1.2, a risk-free rate of 4.4%, and a market return of 12.4%. What is the reward to risk ratio?
Answer: 8%
Explanation:
Reward to risk ratio = (Expected return - Risk free rate) / Beta
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta * ( Market return - Risk free rate)
= 4.4% + 1.2 * (12.4% - 4.4%)
= 14%
Reward to risk ratio = (14% - 4.4%) / 1.2
= 8%
Some individuals argue that accountants should focus on producing financial statements and leave the design and production of managerial reports to information systems specialists. What are the advantages and disadvantages of following this advice? To what extent should accountants be involved in producing reports that include more than just financial measures of performance? Why?
Answer:
If this advice was followed, two systems would result which means higher costs. Accountants must be aware of what is happening in the organization in order to perform correctly. This doesn't mean that only accountants should be involved, but you cannot exclude them.
Accountants are trained in systems development and they should be able to produce reliable information. In order for information to be useful, it must be reliable and relevant. If accountants do not participate in the development of a company's system, then the quality of the information will decrease. Non-reliable information is not useful.

Jessica retired at age 65. On the date of her retirement, the balance in her traditional IRA was $218,000. Over the years, Jessica had made $21,800 of nondeductible contributions and $69,000 of deductible contributions to the account. If Jessica receives a $68,000 distribution from the IRA on the date of retirement, what amount of the distribution is taxable?
and its not 51000
Answer:
The amount of the distribution that is taxable is $61,200.
Explanation:
The following are given in the question:
Balance in IRA = $218,000
Nondeductible contributions = $21,800
Amount of distribution received = $68,000
Therefore, we have:
Nondeductible portion = Nondeductible contributions / Balance in IRA = $21,800 / $218,000 = 0.10
Taxable portion = 1 - Nondeductible portion = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90
Taxable amount = Taxable portion * Amount of distribution received = 0.90 * $68,000 = $61,200
Therefore, the amount of the distribution that is taxable is $61,200.
