Answer:
The ordinal measurement
Explanation:
In this question, we are concerned with knowing the level of measurement used by this scale
The correct answer to this is the ordinal measurement.
What the ordinal scale does is that it places events in order but it does not take into account the fact that the intervals of the scale need to be equal using some sets of rule.
It only places the intervals into groups of subdivisions without having a rule that uses an interval to place members of each subdivision into their class
Suppose the U.S. dollar-euro exchange rate is 1.11.1 dollars per euro, and the U.S. dollar-Mexican peso rate is 0.10.1 dollars per peso. What is the euro-peso rate? nothing euros per Mexican peso. (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places.)
Answer:
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
1 euro=1.11 dollars
1 peso=0.10 dollars
Hence, 11.10 peso=1.11 dollares
So, 1 euro=11.10 peso
Therefore, 1/11.10 euro=1 peso
0.09009 euro=1 peso
The euro-peso rate is 0.09009 euro=1 peso
"Suppose a firm wants to take advantage of an upward-sloping yield curve. If the firm believes that interest rates will stay constant and it wants to use the current yield curve to bolster profits, which approach should the firm follow?"a. Conservative approach b. Aggressive approach c. Maturity matching approach
Answer: b. Aggressive approach
Explanation:
The Aggressive approach refers to using short term finance to finance temporary working capital and some of permanent working capital.
When facing an upward sloping yield curve which means that interest rates are expected to.rise in future, it is better to use the current rates to bolster profit. By engaging in an Aggressive approach, the company can borrow now to fund their operations as the Aggressive approach involves using short term financing to cater for working capital. This will keep interest costs at a minimum because they will.not be calculated based on the impending increase in interest rates but rather on current short term rates.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a debit balance of $800 at the end of the year (before adjustment), and bad debt expense is estimated at 3% of credit sales. If credit sales are $556,000, the amount of the adjusting entry to record the estimate of the uncollectible accounts
Answer:
$15,880
Explanation:
The Bad Debt Expense = $16,680 ($556,000 x 3%)
This will be credited to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and debited to the Bad Debt Expense account. When balancing the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (the Uncollectible Accounts), the $800 debit balance will be netted off to arrive at $15,880 as the balance.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a contra asset (Accounts Receivable) account. It is a way for prudently providing for credit losses. The Bad Debt Expense account is the account where the expense for uncollectibles for the period is charged.
In the context of project management, a task duration is always the same as the amount of work (effort) it takes to finish the task. true or false?
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The statement that says that in the context of project management, a task duration is always the same as the amount of work (effort) it takes to finish the task is false because the effort is the time a person needs to finish a task while the duration is the period of time that a person has to finish it. For example, an employee has a task that takes forty hours of work to finish it but he has a month to do it. In this case, the effort is forty hours but the task duration is one month.
Corporation has the following equity investments held throughout 2021–2022: Fair Value Cost 12/31/21 12/31/22 $600,000 $800,000 $760,000 What amount would be reported as accumulated other comprehensive income related to investments on the balance sheet at December 31, 2022?
Answer: $40,000 loss
Explanation:
A balance sheet is also referred to as the statement of financial position and it is a summary of financial balances of an economic agent i.e individual or organization.
The amount that would be reported as accumulated other comprehensive income related to investments on the balance sheet at December 31, 2022 will be:
= 800,000 - $760,000
= $40,000
There will be a $40,000 loss because the fair value on 12/31/21 of $800,000 is higher than the fair value of $760,000 on 12/31/22.
What will a bond be worth on the day it matures? Group of answer choices $0 $100 its face value (plus remaining coupon, if applicable) its remaining coupon, if applicable
Answer: Its face value (plus remaining coupon
Explanation:
On the day a bond matures it is to be paid back to the investors therefore it will be at it's face value to reflect the amount owed to investors. The last coupon may still have to be paid so it also be added to the bond on this date.
For example, if a bond is issued at $100 face value and will.mature in 5 years but is currently trading at $95, at the end of the 5th year it will be trading at $100 because that it what the Issuer of the bond will pay back.
Hudson Corporation will pay a dividend of $3.60 per share next year. The company pledges to increase its dividend by 4.60 percent per year indefinitely. If you require a return of 7.00 percent on your investment, how much will you pay for the company's stock today
Answer:
The maximum that should be paid for the stock of the company today is $146.64
Explanation:
The current price of the stock can be calculated using the constant growth model of DDM. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.
The formula for the price of the stock today under the constant growth model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 is the most recent dividend paid
D0 * (1+g) is the dividend expected to be paid next period
r is the required rate of return
g is the growth rate in dividends
As we don't have a D0 but instead are given a D1, the constant growth rate will be applied from year 2 and we will calculate the price of the stock at year 1 using the constant growth model and discount is back one year to calculate the price of the stock today.
P1 = D1 * (1+g) / r - g
P1 = 3.6 * (1+0.046) / (0.07 - 0.046)
P1 = $156.9
Price of the stock today is,
P0 = P1 / (1+r)
P0 = 156.9 / (1+0.07)
P0 = $146.635514 rounded off to $146.64
Welfare analysis: Basic conceptsIdentify whether each of the following statements best illustrates the concept of consumer surplus, producer surplus, or neither. Statement Consumer Producer Neither Surplus Surplus I sold a used laptop for $149, even though I was willing to go as low as $140 in order to sell it. I sold a watch for $59 on eBay last week. This week, someone offered me $145 for it. Even though I was willing to pay up to $46 for a jersey sweater, I bought a jersey sweater for only $39.
Answer:
Producer surplus
Neither
Consumer surplus
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of the good and the least price the seller is willing to sell his product.
1. Price = $149
least price seller was willing to sell his laptop = $140.
Hence it's producer surplus.
2. Price = $59
there's no information on the least price the seller was willing to sell or the highest amount the buyer was willing to buy.
hence it's neither producer or consumer surplus
3. Price = $39
highest amount buyer was willing to buy = $46
Hence, it's consumer surplus

Tiago makes three models of camera lens. Its product mix and contribution margin per unit follow: Percentage of Unit sales Contribution Margin per unit Lens A 25 % $ 38 Lens B 40 30 Lens C 35 43 Required: 1. Determine the weighted-average contribution margin per unit. 2. Determine the number of units of each product that Tiago must sell to break even if fixed costs are $187,000. 3. Determine how many units of each product must be sold to generate a profit of $73,000.
Answer:
A. $36.55
B. 5116 units
C. 7114 units
Explanation:
Requirement 1: Weighted average contribution margin per unit
Lens A = $38 x 25% = $9.5
Lens B = $30 x 40% = $12
Lens C = $43 x 35% = $15.05
Total Contribution margin per unit = $36.55
Requirement 2: Breakeven if fixed cost is $187,000
Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / Contribution per unit
Break even point (units) = 187,000/36.55
Break even point (units) = 5116 units
Lens A = 5116 x 25% = 1279 units
Lens B = 5116 x 40% = 2046 units
Lens C = 5116 x 35% = 1791 units
Requirement 3: How many units to be sold to generate $73,000 profit
Required units = Fixed cost - required profit / contribution per unit
Required units = ($187,000-$73,000)/$36.55
Required units = 7114 units
Lens A = 7114 x 25% = 1779 units
Lens B = 7114 x 40% = 2846 units
Lens C = 7114 x 35% = 2489 units
When deleting a check all of the following is true except: Multiple Choice It is better to delete the check than void the check in order to erase all records of the transaction The deleted check no longer appears in the check register QuickBooks changes the amount deducted in the check register to zero All of the choices are correct
Answer: It is better to delete the check than void the check in order to erase all records of the transaction
Explanation:
When a check is deleted, it should be noted that such check is being removed entirely from the system and also the transaction of the check will no longer be visible anywhere in the system.
Voiding a check mean that the amount of the transaction on the check will be changed to zero but it should be ited that a record of such transaction will still be kept in QuickBooks but deleting it will help remove the transaction in QuickBooks.
When a check is voided, the check details like the check number, account, payee, memo and date will be unchanged, even though the amount will change to zero.
Therefore, the option that says that it is better to delete the check than void the check in order to erase all records of the transaction isn't true.

Among the responsibility centres listed, which type of responsibility centre is most likely to use "Growth in Sales" as a performance measure
Answer:
C. Revenue
Explanation:
Growth in sales is an important metric in determining revenue for an organization. It is the ability of an organization or a team within the organization to increase its revenue over a period of time. Most business managers measure the revenue generated through the growth in sales. To achieve growth in sales, sales teams would need to set monthly, quarterly, and yearly targets for themselves.
An increase in sales growth, which is directly proportional to an increase in revenue, assures the stakeholders in a business that there is progress and that the organization is thriving.

In large organizations, the potential exists for different parts of an organization to pursue its own goals rather than the overall company goals. Proper _______ can help to resolve conflicts when they arise
Answer:
Objectives
Explanation:
Generally, organizations are required to set short or medium-term objectives to ensure there's an effective customer relationships management, improve worker's efficiency or productivity and more importantly to increase their revenues and profits. These objectives are usually drafted by the executive or top management of an organization and it's mandatory that all the employees are diligently working towards achieving this set goals.
In large organizations, the potential exists for different parts of an organization to pursue its own goals rather than the overall company goals. Proper objectives can help to resolve conflicts when they arise.
For instance, the sales department in a bid to meet daily or monthly targets may result to unauthorized marketing channels and procedures which may be in contrast to the objectives of the human resources department.
With proper objectives such as policies and guidelines, conflicts of goals would be mitigated as various departments would ensure their activities are in tandem with the overall company goals. This can be easily achieved by appointing functional managers who have an oversight function of supervising the employees in their departments at all times.
You are an analyst working for a mutual fund. Your job is to select stocks for the fund. You want to select only one of the following tech stocks to add into your current portfolio: Appscale, Bitwise, and Carbivore. All three stocks are similar along many metrics. They are all in the technology space and have been growing very fast over the past few years. However, it is hard to get all the information for those three stocks, and so far you have collected only the following relevant information to help you make the decision: Appscale is a tech firm that focuses on developing and integrating mobile apps. Reading through analyst reports and based on your own judgement, you think the cost of equity for Appscale is 12%. Appscale estimated earnings per share next year are $10. It pays all its earnings as dividends. Bitwise is a fintech company that is involved in Bitcoin and blockchain technology. Currently, Bitwise stock is trading at $100/share, with estimated earnings next year of $10/share. You read from their management disclosure and financial report that Bitwise retains 40% of their earnings for investments. Its reinvestment rate of return is 10%.

A company issued 6-year, 8% bonds with a par value of $450,000. The market rate when the bonds were issued was 7.5%. The company received $454,500 cash for the bonds. Using the straight-line method, the amount of recorded interest expense for the first semiannual interest period is:
Answer:
$17,667
Explanation:
Premium on bonds
= $454,000 - $450,000
= $4,000
Cash interest paid
= $450,000 × 8% × 6/12
= $18,000
Amortization of premium for each period
= $4,000 ÷ 12
= $333
Therefore,
Interest expense
= $18,000 - $333
= $17,667

"Total revenue equals the price multiplied by the quantity. The relative change price and quantity is given by the concept of ________________."
Answer:
Elasticity
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded.
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

You are given the following information for Ted’s Dread Co.: sales = $82,000; costs = $57,700; addition to retained earnings = $7,500; dividends paid = $3,320; interest expense = $3,030; tax rate = 25 percent. Calculate the depreciation expense for the company.
Answer:$6,843.33=Depreciation
Explanation:
To Calculate the depreciation expense for the company
Net income = Dividends + Addition to retained earnings
Net income = $3,320 + 7,500
Net income = $10,820
Also,
Net income = Taxable income - (Taxable income)(Tax rate)
Net income = Taxable income(1 - Tax rate)
Therefore,
Taxable income = Net income / (1 - Tax rate)
Taxable income = $10,820 / (1 - 0.25
Taxable income = $10,820/0.75 =14,426.67
But
EBIT -interest = taxable income,So
EBIT = Taxable income + Interest
EBIT = $14,426.67+3,030
EBIT = 17,456.67
EBIT = Sales - Costs - Depreciation

Gates Appliances has a return-on-assets (investment) ratio of 19 percent. a. If the debt-to-total-assets ratio is 20 percent, what is the return on equity
Answer:
23.8%
Explanation:
Gates appliances has a return-on-assets(investment) of 19%
The debt-to-total-assets ratio is 20%
Therefore, the return on equity can be calculated as follows
Return on equity= Return on assets(investment)/(1-debt/asset)
= 19/(1-20/100)
= 19/(1-0.2)
= 19/0.8
= 23.8%
Hence the return on equity is 23.8%

Skolits Corp. issued 15-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 7.3 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 103 percent of par value, what is the YTM?
Answer:
6.94%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity can be computed using excel rate function found below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the coupons that bond has left to pay i.e 26 semiannual coupons in 13 years
pmt is the semiannual coupon amount i.e $1000*7.3%*6/12=36.5
pv is the current market price i.e 103%*$1000=$1030
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(26,36.5,-1030,1000)=3.47%
semiannual yield =3.47%
annual yield =3.47% *2=6.94%

A North Face retail store in Chicago sells 500 jackets each month. Each jacket costs the store $100 and the company has an annual holding cost of 25 percent. The fixed cost of a replenishment order (including transportation cost) is $100. The store currently places a replenishment order for Q.
1. What is the annual holding and ordering cost?
2. On average, how long does a jacket spend in inventory?
3. If the retail store wants to minimize ordering and holding cost, what order size do you recommend?
4. How much would the optimal order reduce holding and ordering cost relative to the current policy?
Answer:
(1) The annual holding cost is =$6250, The ordering costs is = 500 units
(2) The total cost is = $7450
(3)224 unit
(4) $1,864.30
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The annual demand = 520 units * 12
= 6,240 units
The cost per order = $100 per order
The Carrying Cost = 0.25% * $100
= 25 per unit per year
Thus
(1) The Ordering quantity = 500 units every month
The annual holding cost =0.5*quantity ordered*holding cost
The Annual Holding cost = 0.5*500*25
Annual Holding cost =$6250
(2) The ordering (Annual)cost = number of orders *cost per order
Annual ordering cost =(500*12/500)*100
Annual ordering cost =$1200
Total cost = 6250+1200=7450
(3)Thus
EOQ=(2*D*S/h)^0.5
EOQ=(2*6240*100/25^)0.5
EOQ=223.43
=224 unit
(4)The ordering cost =(6240/224)*100=2785.70
Holding cost=0.5*224*25
=2800
Total cost= 2785.70+2800
Total cost=5585.70
Total savings = 7450 - 5585.70
= $1,864.30
