By convention, a swap buyer on an interest rate swap agrees to act as the dealer in the swap agreement. hold both principal and interest to contract maturity. periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest. back both sides of the swap agreement. periodically pay a floating rate of interest and receive a fixed rate of interest.
Answer:
periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest.
Explanation:
The interest rate (rate of return) can be defined as the percentage of interest or dividends earned on money that is invested.
In Financial accounting, a return refers to the amount of profit generated by an investor on an investment over a specific period of time.
Basically, the interest rate which is typically expressed as a percentage of the initial costs of an investment can either be a gain or a loss on an investment. Therefore, a positive rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, simply means that an investor is making a profit (gains) while a negative rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, indicates that the investor is running at a loss.
By convention, a swap buyer on an interest rate swap agrees to periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest.

An economic profit includes implicit costs and accounting profit does not. A distinction between them is important because an accounting profit is a relative amount of money. Some amount of accounting profit may or may not be a sufficient amount of profit to keep an entrepreneur in:________
Answer:
his/ her present line of business
Explanation:
Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost
Accounting cost is total revenue less explicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Explicit cost is the actual cost incurred in carrying out an activity.
In determining profit, it is essential to consider implicit cost to determine if the business is earning economic profit

M. K. Gallant is president of Kranbrack Corporation, a company whose stock is traded on a national exchange. In a meeting with investment analysts at the beginning of the year, Gallant had predicted that the company’s earnings would grow by 20% this year. Unfortunately, sales have been less than expected for the year, and Gallant concluded within two weeks of the end of the fiscal year that it would be impossible to report an increase in earnings as large as predicted unless some drastic action was taken. Accordingly, Gallant has ordered that wherever possible, expenditures should be postponed to the new year—including canceling or postponing orders with suppliers, delaying planned maintenance and training, and cutting back on end-of-year advertising and travel. Additionally, Gallant ordered the company’s controller to carefully scrutinize all costs that are currently classified as period costs and reclassify as many as possible as product costs. The company is expected to have substantial inventories at the end of the year.
1. Why would reclassifying period costs as product costs increase this period’s reported earnings?
2. Do you believe Gallant’s actions are ethical? Why or why not?

The Oxford Company uses a job order cost system and applies factory overhead to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. During the month of July, the following activities took place in the work-in-process account:
Beginning $15,000
Direct materials 10,000
Direct labor 30,000
Overhead applied 15,000
 Â
At the end of July, only one job (Job #15), was still in process. This job has been charged with $2,000 of direct materials cost.
Required:
Determine the amount of direct labor cost incurred and overhead applied in the ending inventory of work-in-process on July 31.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The amount of direct labor cost incurred is computed as;
= $30,000/$70,000 × $2,000
= $857
Overhead applied in ending working in the ending inventory of work in process on July 31
= $15,000/$70,000 × $2,000
= $429

Manufacturing cycle time 60 days 30 days
Inventory financing costs (per annum) 10 % 10 %
Required:
As the management accountant for the company, prepare an estimate the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT. Specifically, what is the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation?
Answer:
A. $74,100 $954,700
B. $880,600
Explanation:
A. Preparation to estimate the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT
Current situation After JIT
Sales 1,430,000 1,810,000
Less costs
Production level support 214,500 72,400
(15%*1,430,000=214,500)
(4%*1,810,000=72,400)
Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 181,000
(28%*1,430,000=400,400)
(10%*1,810,000=181,000)
Direct material 429,000 362,000
(30%*1,430,000=429,000)
(20%*1,810,000=362,000)
Direct manufacturing labor 286,000 235,300
(20%*1,430,000=286,000)
(13%*1,810,000=235,300)
Inventory financing costs 26,000 4,600
(10%*260,000=26,000)
(10%*46,000=4,600)
Total costs 1,355,900 855,300
Operating profits $74,100 $954,700
(1,430,000-1,355,900)
(1,810,000-855,300)
Therefore the the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT will be $74,100 $954,700
B. Preparation for the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation
Current situation After JIT Change
Sales 1,430,000-1,810,000=-380,000
Less costs
Production level support 214,500-72,400 =142,100
Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 -181,000=219,400
Direct material 429,000-362,000=67,000
Direct manufacturing labor 286,000- 235,300= 50,700
Inventory financing costs 26,000-4,600 =21,400
Total costs 1,355,900-855,300=500,600
Operating profits 74,100-954,700=880,600
Therefore the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation will be 880,600

Problem 4-8 Sales and Growth [LO2] The most recent financial statements for Alexander Co. are shown here: Income Statement Balance Sheet Sales $ 42,950 Current assets $ 17,580 Long-term debt $ 37,070 Costs 35,550 Fixed assets 68,350 Equity 48,860 Taxable income $ 7,400 Total $ 85,930 Total $ 85,930 Taxes (21%) 1,554 Net income $ 5,846 Assets and costs are proportional to sales. The company maintains a constant 35 percent dividend payout ratio and a constant debt-equity ratio. What is the maximum dollar increase in sales that can be sustained assuming no new equity is issued
Answer:
$3,621.96
Explanation:
ROE = Net income/Equity * 100
ROE = 5846/48860*100
ROE = 11.9648%
Dividend payout ratio = 35%
Retention Ratio = 1 - 35% = 65%
Sustainable growth rate = (ROE*b)/(1-ROE*b)
Sustainable growth rate = (11.9648%*0.65)/(1- (11.9648%*0.65%))
Sustainable growth rate = 8.43%
Therefore, Maximum Dollar Increase in sales = Sales * Sustainable growth rate = 42,950 * 8.43% = $3,621.96
1. A manager uses the following equation to predict monthly receipts: Y=450+10t time in weeks and y = receipts.) What is the forecast for July 14th if t=4 is the fourth week in January and t = 6 is February 14th of the same year (assume there are 4 weeks in each month)?
a. 690
b. 710
c. 730
d. 750
2. A major reason that decision making is often not such a rational process is that there are: Suppose we have H0:µ1= µ2 versus HA: µ1 ≠ µ2, with level of significance of α =.05 and critical values of zα/2 = ± 1.96, and the computed Test Statistics value of Z = -1.07. What is our decision?
Answer:
1. 690
2. Do not reject the null hypothesis.
Explanation:
1. Month t
At the end of Feb 6
March 4
April 4
May 4
June 2
14th of July 2
Total 24
Therefore on 14th July, t = 24
Forecast: Y = 450+10t = 450 + 10*24 = 450+240 = 690
2. Options are "a. Reject the null hypothesis. b. Do not reject the null hypothesis. c. Take a larger sample. d. Reserve judgment"
In general, if test statistic is more extreme than the critical values at given level of significance then we reject the null hypothesis otherwise we do not reject the null hypothesis.
Here, test statistic for the given two tailed test is Z = -1.07 and critical value at level of significance α = 0.5 is ± 1.96 . Since -1.96<Z<1.96, we can say that we do not reject Null Hypothesis as the test statistic is not extreme than the critical value at given level of significance.

After graduating from college, you are hired by the Ford automobile company as an economic analyst. For your first project, you are asked to estimate what would happen to the sales of Ford Mustangs as a result of a change in (i) the price of a Chevrolet Camaro, (ii) the price of gasoline, and (iii) consumer incomes. You are given the following elasticities:
price elasticity Of demand for Ford Mustangs= -2.5
Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and Camaros =1.5
Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and gasoline= -0.80
Income elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs= 3.00
a. Suppose the price Of a Camaro falls by 10%. With all else being equal, sales of Ford Mustangs would______ by_______%
b. If the price of gasoline increases by 20%, the quantity of Ford Mustangs would _________by_______%
Answer:
a. Decrease by 15%
b. decrease by 16%
Explanation:
a. As we know that
Camaro and ford mustangs would be considered as a substitute goods as the cross price elasticity of demand comes in positive so in the case when the price of camaro decrease so the quantity of Mustang would also decreased by 1.5 ×10% = 15%
b. As we know that Gasoline and mustang would be considered as complementary goods so if the price of gasoline would increase by 20% so the quantity of mustang be decreased by 0.80 × 20% = 16%
Lincoln, Inc., which uses a volume-based cost system, produces cat condos that sell for $140 each. Direct materials cost $22 per unit, and direct labor costs $15 per unit. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 280% of direct labor cost. Nonmanufacturing costs are $34 per unit. What is the gross profit margin for the cat condos
Answer:
43.57 %
Explanation:
The computation of the gross margin for the cat condos is given below:
Total Manufacturing Cost per unit is
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $22 + $15 + ( 280% of $15)
= $79
Now
Gross Profit is
= Selling price per unit - Total Manufacturing Cost per unit
= $140 - $79
= $61
And finally
Gross Profit Margin is
= (Gross Profit ÷ Selling Price ) × 100
= ($61 ÷ $140) × 100
= 43.57 %
Jamie is considering leaving her current job, which pays $75,000 per year, to start a new company that develops applications for smartphones. Based on market research, she can sell about 50,000 units during the first year at a price of $4 per unit. With annual overhead costs and operating expenses amounting to $145,000. Jamie expects a profit margin of 20 percent. This margin is 5 percent larger than that of her largest competitor, Apps. Inc.
a. If Jamie decides to embark on her new venture, What will her accounting cost be during the first year of operation? Her implicit costs? Her opportunity costs?
Accounting costs: $_____
Implicit costs: $_____
Opportunity costs: $_____
b. Suppose that Jamie's estimated selling price is lower than originally projected during the first year. How much revenue would she need in order to earn positive accounting profits? Positive economic profits?
Revenue needed to earn positive accounting profits: $______
Revenue needed to earn positive economic profits:
Answer:
Follows are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
For point A:
Cost with accounting=The actual manufacturing expenditures or spendings that appear on expensive sports or record of a company= [tex]\$ 145,000[/tex]
[tex]\text{Costs = gross pay} = 50000 \times 4 - 1.2 \times1,45,000 = 26000\\\\{ total \ cost = 120 \% \ of\ 145,000}[/tex]
Cost opportunity=75,000
Total revenue required besides positive accounting benefits=cost of accounting =145000
Income to create positive economic benefits=cost of accounts + implied cost
[tex]= 145000+26000=171000[/tex]
For point B:
Income required to make positive profit in accounts = 145,000 more than the accounting costs
Revenue necessary to earn positive profit = 220,000 more than opportunity cost
On January 1, Year 1, a contractor began work on a $3.2 million construction contract that is expected to be completed in 3 years. The contractor concludes that it is appropriate to recognize revenue over time using the input method based on costs incurred (cost-to-cost method). At the inception date, the estimated cost of construction was $2.4 million. The following data relate to the actual and expected construction costs:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Costs incurred $720,000 $1,170,000 $1,110,000
Expected future costs $1,680,000 $810,000 $0
For this long-term construction contract, the contractor needs to calculate the estimated dollar values of the revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized each year. Complete the contractor's long-term construction contract using the information above. Write the appropriate amounts in the associated cells. Indicate losses by using a leading minus (-) sign. Round all amounts to the nearest dollar. If no entry is necessary, enter a zero (0).

Camptown Togs, Inc., a children’s clothing manufacturer, has always found payroll processing to be costly because it must be done by a clerk so that the number of piece-goods coupons received by each employee can be collected and the types of tasks performed by each employee can be calculated. Not long ago, an industrial engineer designed a system that partially automates the process by means of a scanner that reads the piece-goods coupons. Management is enthusiastic about this system because it utilizes some personal computer systems that were purchased recently. It is expected that this new automated system will save $45,000 per year in labor. The new system will cost about $30,000 to build and test prior to operation. It is expected that operating costs, including income taxes, will be about $5,000 per year. The system will have a five-year useful life. The expected net salvage value of the system is estimated to be $3,000.

A common error made when solving a future value of an annuity problem is: Multiple Choice Using factor tables to help solve the problem. Dividing the annual deposit by the number of years before calculating the problem. Using a financial calculator to help solve the problem. Multiplying the number of years and the interest rate before calculating the problem. Multiplying the annual deposit and the number of years before calculating the problem.
Answer:
Multiplying the annual deposit and the number of years before calculating the problem.
Explanation:
An annuity can be defined as a sequence of payment that is typically made at equal intervals i.e at specific period of time.
Basically, annuity can be calculated using the compound interest formula. It is given by the mathematical expression;
[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Where;
A is the future value.
P is the principal or starting amount.
r is annual interest rate.
n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year.
t is the number of years for the compound interest.
Additionally, the time period between each payment is called payment period.
The term of an annuity refers to the time from the beginning of the first payment made by an individual to the end of the last payment period.
A common error made when solving a future value of an annuity problem is multiplying the annual deposit and the number of years before calculating the problem.
Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering purchasing a $100,000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. She is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. However, the Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct any state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering whether to purchase a $100, 000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. Tammy is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct all state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.If required, round your computations and answers to the nearest dollar. Determine the after tax income from each bond. Virginia Bond: $ 4, 600 North Carolina Bond: $ 4, 451 Which of the two options will provide the greater after-tax return to Tammy? Virginia bond
Solution :
Assuming that the bond amount is $100,000.
After the tax income from the Virginia bond is given by:
= 100,000 x 4.5%
= $ 4500
After the income tax from the North Carolina bond :
= (100,000 x 4.6%) x (1-5%) + (100,000 x 4.6% x 5% x 0.35)
= $ 4451
Therefore the Virginia bond will give an after tax higher return.
