A manager creates a policy document that lists the policy name, identifying information, and the operational policy. When she gets to the section marked "roles and responsibilities," she is uncertain if she should include the names of the individuals assigned to the roles and responsibilities, but decides ultimately that she will because these individuals were newly appointed and have played an active role in reviewing and providing feedback on the policy. Which of the following statements is an accurate assessment of this manager’s choice to include the names of the individuals?a. the manager made the right choice to include the names of the individuals in the policy because it is highly unlikely that newly appointed employees will leave the company anytime soon. b. the manager should have postponed her decision to include the names until after she consulted the hr department. c. the manager should not have included the names because even though they were newly appointed, individuals join and leave and the company. d. the manager should have waited to include the individuals' names until she received verification that their contracts would be renewed.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
the manager should not have included the names because even though they were newly appointed, individuals join and leave and the company.
The manager made a mistake including the names of the individuals assigned to the roles and responsibilities, because these individuals were newly appointed and although they have played an active role in reviewing and providing feedback on the policy people join companies at anytime and also have the choice of leaving whenever they want.
Taco Hut purchased equipment on May 1, 2021, for $12,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated eight-year service life is expected to be $3,000. Calculate depreciation expense using the straight-line method for 2021 and 2022, assuming a December 31 year-end. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Depreciation expense in 2021 = $750
Depreciation expense in 2021 = $1125
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($12,000 - $3,000) / 8 = $1125
Depreciation expense each year would be $1125.
Depreciation expense in 2021
There are 12 months in a year, so the depreciation expense each month would be $1125 / 12 = $93.75
Number of months in 2021 for which asset is used ( May to December) = 8 months
$93.75 x 8 = $750
Depreciation expense in 2022 would be $1125 since the machine was used for a full year.

Explanation:
Consider two nations, Spendia and Savia. The MPC for Spendia is 0.8, and the MPC for Savia is 0.5. Assume that both nations experience an increase in gross investment (I) of $100 million at their existing GDP levels.
a. Considering the multiplier effect, what will be the overall increase in income (Y) for each nation?
b. Now assume that a third nation experiences an increase of $250 million in its income and its gross investment (I) increases by the same amount as Spendia and Savia, which is $100 million.
The expenditures multiplier of this third nation is ________ suggesting an MPC of _________.
Answer:
a. Overall increase in income (Y) for Spendia is $500 million, while overall increase in income (Y) for Savia is $200 million
b. The expenditures multiplier of this third nation is 2.50 suggesting an MPC of 0.6.
Explanation:
a. Considering the multiplier effect, what will be the overall increase in income (Y) for each nation?
For Spendia
MPC = Marginal propensity to consume = 0.8
MPS = Marginal propensity to save = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2
Multiplier = 1 / MPS = 1 / 0.2 = 5
Overall increase in income (Y) for Spendia = Increase in gross investment * Multiplier = $100 million * 5 = $500 million
For Savia
MPC = 0.5
MPS = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
Multiplier = 1 / MPS = 1 / 0.5 = 2
Overall increase in income (Y) for Savia = Increase in gross investment * Multiplier = $100 million * 2 = $200 million
b. Now assume that a third nation experiences an increase of $250 million in its income and its gross investment (I) increases by the same amount as Spendia and Savia, which is $100 million.
Note that generally in macroeconomics, savings (S) is equal to gross investment (I). Consequently, it is assumed that an increase in gross investment (I) eqauls to an increase in savings (S).
Based on this, we have:
Increase in income (Y) = $250 million
Increase in gross investment (I) = Increase in savings (S) = $100 million
MPS = Increase in savings / Increase in income = $100 / $250 = 0.40
Multiplies = 1 / MPS = 1 / 0.4 = 2.5
MPC = 1 - MPS = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6
Therefore, the expenditures multiplier of this third nation is 2.50 suggesting an MPC of 0.6.

Explanation:
At a sales volume of 38,000 units, Choice Corporation's sales commissions (a cost that is variable with respect to sales volume) total $752,400. To the nearest whole cent, what should be the average sales commission per unit at a sales volume of 39,000 units
Answer:
The average sales commission per unit at a sales volume of 39,000 units would be $19.8
Explanation:
In order to calculate the average sales commission per unit we would have to calculate the following formula:
average sales commission per unit= Total sales commission/sales volume
According to given data:
Total sales commission=$752,400
sales volume=38,000 units
Therefore, average sales commission per unit=$752,400/38,000 units
average sales commission per unit=$19.8
The average sales commission per unit at a sales volume of 39,000 units would be $19.8
A portfolio consists of $13,600 in Stock M and $19,400 invested in Stock N. The expected return on these stocks is 8.10 percent and 11.70 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
Portfolio return is 10.22%
Explanation:
The expected return of a portfolio is the function of the weighted average of the individual stock returns that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the expected return of the portfolio is as follows,
Portfolio Return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w is the weightage of each asset/stock in the portfolior is the return of each stockThe weightage of each stock can be calculated by dividing the investment in the stock by the total investment in the portfolio.
Total investment - portfolio = 13600 + 19400 = $33000
Portfolio Return = 13600/33000 * 0.0810 + 19400/33000 * 0.1170
Portfolio Return = 0.10216 or 10.216% rounded off to 10.22%
Barans Realty Co. pays weekly salaries of $18,000 on Monday for a six-day workweek ending the preceding Saturday. Journalize the necessary adjusting entry at the end of the accounting period, assuming that the period ends on Friday. Round your answers to nearest whole dollar.
Answer:
Barans Realty Co. Journal entry
Dr Salary expenses 15,000
Cr Salary payable 15,000
Explanation:
Since Barans Realty Co. pays weekly salaries of $18,000 on Monday for a six-day workweek ending the preceding Saturday in which we have to as well assume that it ended on friday that means (18,000/6 ×5) will give us 15,000, we have to record it by Debiting salary expenses with 15,000 and Crediting salary payable with the same amount
The key thing to look at is that the period ends on FRIDAY.
If we count from Monday to Friday, that is 5 days apart.
We need to divide to find the daily salary.
18,000 / 6 = $3,000 per day
Multiply to find the total salary expense from Monday to Friday.
3,000 * 5 = $15,000
Now, we can assemble the journal entry.
We will have a salaries expense to debit for $15,000
We will also have a salaries payable to credit for $15,000
18,000 - 15,000 = $3,000 expense for the next accounting period.

Required:
Record the bond issue and first interest payment on June 30, 2021.
Answer:
The bond issue and first interest payment on June 30, 2021 journal entries would be as follows:
January 1, 2021
Debit Credit
Cash $70,000
Bond payable $70,000
June 30, 2021
Debit Credit

Cash $2,450
Explanation
The journal entry for the bond issue would be the following:
January 1, 2021
Debit Credit
Cash $70,000
Bond payable $70,000
In order to prepare the journal entry for first interest payment on June 30, 2021 we would have to calculate the interest expense as follows:
interest expense=face value of bonds*interest rate* (6 months/12 months)
interest expense=$70,000*7%* (6 months/12 months)
interest expense=$4,900*(6 months/12 months)
interest expense=$2,450
Therefore, the journal entry for first interest payment on June 30, 2021 would be as follows:
June 30, 2021
Debit Credit
Interest Expense $2,450
Cash $2,450

Imagine Fry knew in advance that he would be frozen for 1000 years and wanted to have $9,999,999,999 when he thaws out. How much would Fry need to deposit in his account paying 2% APR compounded quarterly before falling into the cryogenic freezer
Answer:
$21.66
Explanation:
We are to find the present value of $9,999,999,999.
The formula to be used is :
P = FV (1 + r/m) ^-mn
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
M = number of compounding
= $9,999,999,999 ( 1 + 0.02 / 4 ) ^-4000 = $21.66

A corporate bond has 22 years to maturity, a face value of $1,000, a coupon rate of 4.6% and pays interest semiannually. The annual market interest rate for similar bonds is 3.3%.
Required:
a. What is the price of the bond Intro A bond has an annual coupon rate of 3.4%, a face value of $1,000, a price of $883.61, and matures in 10 years.
b. What is the bond's YTM?
c. What is the current yield?
Answer:
a. The answer is: $1,008.40
b. The bond's YTM is 3.343%
c. The current yield is 3.826%
Explanation:
a. Bond price formula: ∑(C* / (1+YTM)[tex]n[/tex] )
The price of the bond Intro A with i=1,2...10 is:
∑($1,000 x 3.4% / (1 + 3.3%)[tex]i[/tex] ) = $1,008.40
b. The price of the corporate bond which has 22 years to maturity is: $1,202.20
Given that the bond is trading at par value, the bond's YTM is:
[Annual Interest Payment + ((Face Value – Current Price) / (Years to Maturity))] / ( ( Face Value + Current Price ) / 2 )
= [$1,000 x 4.6% + (($1,000 - $1,202.20) / 22)] / (($1,000 + $1,202.20) /2)
= 3.343%
c. The bond's current yield is:
Annual Interest Payment / Current Price = $46 / $1,202.2 = 3.826%
Consider the all-units quantity discount schedule below. Quantity Ordered Price Per Unit EOQ at that Price 1-499 $300 952 500-999 $280 986 1000-1499 $260 1023 1500-1999 $230 1087 2000 and over $200 1166 Which of the following sets of order quantities is guaranteed to contain the optimal solution (i.e., best order quantity)?A. {986, 1023, 1500 B. 1023, 1500, 2000} C. (986, 1000, 1500, 2000) D. {1, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000} E. [952, 986, 1023,1087, 1166]
Answer: B. 1023, 1500, 2000}
Explanation:
The Optimal solution should contain the set of quantities that would require the lowest no. of orders to achieve a discount in a class.
1,023 is quite close to the lowest amount required of 1,000 in the 1,000 to 1,499 range.
So are 1,500 and 2,000.
Option D can also work but it has too many order quantities and will inflate the price.
The Optimal Solution therefore has to be from this option.

When the United States imports more than it exports, then the balance of payments would record a negative entry in the financial account. record a negative entry in the current account. record a positive entry in the financial account. record a positive entry in the current account. remain the same.
Answer:
The answer is B a negative entry in the current account.
Explanation:
Balance of payments accounts of a country is the recording economic transactions (the payments and receipts) of the residents of the country with residents of other countries during a period of time.
Balance of Payments is in deficit or negative if imports are more than the exports and it is in surplus or positive if exports are more than imports during a period of time.
We have three categories of Balance of Payments:.
1. The current account which records the inflow and outflow of goods and services.
2. The Financial account which records
monetary flow like investment in real estates, fixed income(bonds), stocks etc.
3. The capital account which records the investments in fixed assets like land.
Suppose a consumer has the following utility function defined over the 2 goods X and Y: a. If this consumer originally consumed 10 units of X and 24 units of Y, and if the consumption of X were increased to 12 units, how much Y would be would the consumer be willing to give up and maintain the initial level of satisfaction
Answer:
Y = 22 units (Approx)
Explanation:
Note:
The utility function is not given, the utility function is as follows.
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
So,
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
When X = 10 and Y = 24 units
U(10 ,24) = 2(10) + [tex]16(24)^{1/2}[/tex]
U(10 ,24) = 98.4
U(10 ,24) = 99 Units (Approx)
So,
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
When X = 12 Find Y
99 units = 2(12) + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
75 = [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
Y = 21.97
Y = 22 units (Approx)
A company reported $18,000.00 of net income for 20X6, $24,000.00 for 20X7, and $26,000.00 for 20X8. The percentage change in net income from 20X6 to 20X7 was A. 8.33 percent. B. 30.00 percent.
Answer:
The percentage change in net income = 33.33%
Explanation:
Let us establish a formula for calculating the percentage change in net income.
Generally when calculating percentage change, the formula used is:
[tex]\frac{final - initial}{initial} * 100[/tex]
where:
final = income for 20X7 = $24,000
Initial = income for 20X6 = $18,000
∴ % change = [tex]\frac{24,000-18000}{18000} *100[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{6000}{18000} *100\\= 0.3333 * 100[/tex]
= 33.33%
A dairy produces and sells organic milk. Last year it sold 500,000 gallons of milk at a price of $7 per gallon. For last year, the firm's a. explicit costs were $3.5 million. b. economic profit was $3.5 million. c. total revenue was $3.5 million. d. accounting profit was $3.5 million.
Answer:
. total revenue was $3.5 million.
Explanation:
Total revenue = price x units sold = 500,000 x $7 = $3,500,000
Total explicit cost is the actual cost incurred in production. Total explicit cost includes fixed cost and variable cost.
Accounting profit is total revenue less total explicit cost.
Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost or opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

Debbie and Alan open a web-based bookstore together. They have been friends for so long that they start their business on a handshake after discussing how they will share both work and profits or losses from the business. Have Debbie and Alan formed a real partnership given that they have signed no written partnership agreement?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Debbie and Alan have formed a real partnership even though they have signed no written partnership agreement because partnership does not require legal Documentation.
Many partnerships are formed naturally because the people who are involved in the business share similar goals, so their partnerships don't need formation documents to exist.
A customer is short 100 shares of PDQ stock at $62 per share. The stock goes up to $67 and the customer covers the position. If, 30 days later, the customer decides to re-establish this short position when the market for PDQ is $65, what will the sale proceeds be
Answer:
$60 per share
Explanation:
Given the transaction above, the customer intend to take a loss and then reestablish the position.
Thus, going by "wash sale" rule, the loss deduction is disallowed in a situation where by the position is reestablished within 30 days of the date the loss was generated.
Hence, In this case the customer initially sold short the stock at $62. The stock was later repurchased at $67, for a $5 loss per share which equate to $500 loss on 100 shares.
Again, the customer sold short another 100 shares exactly 30 days later at $65 (to avoid the "wash sale" rule, the position cannot be reestablished until the 31st day). This made the $500 loss to be disallowed.
At this point, the $5 per share loss will be deducted from the sale proceeds of $65, for a new sale proceeds of $60.
Hence, this ensures the taking of the loss until this short position is covered.
A well-known industrial firm has issued $1,000 bonds that carry a 4% coupon interest rate paid semiannually. The bonds mature 20 years from now, at which time the industrial firm will redeem them from $1,000 plus the terminal semiannual interest payment. From the financial pages of your newspaper you learn that the bonds may be purchased for $715 each ($710 for the bond plus a $5 sales commission). What nominal annual rate of return would you receive if you purchased the bond now and held it to maturity 20 years from now
Answer:
5.59%
Explanation:
$1,000 bonds carrying a 4% coupon rate, semiannual coupon $20, matures in 20 years
if you purchase the bonds at $715, the nominal annual rate of return = coupon payments / bond price = ($20 + $20) / $715 = $40 / $715 = 5.59%
The nominal annual rate of return is calculated by dividing the revenue generated by an investment by the cost of the investment.
You are the marketing manager for a U.S. manufacturer of disposable diapers. Your firm is considering entering the Brazilian market. Your CEO believes the advertising message used in the U.S. will suffice in Brazil. Outline some possible objections to this strategy. g
Answer: If the CEO decides to go with same advertising message which was effective for the USA in Brazil, this my be a wrong decision. The products technical standards may be similar for both countries but the way people would react to same advertisement would differ for both countries.
Explanation:
This would lead to the advertising messages changing so as to achieve the desired results, factors that would affect this decision are
1. The message
2. Pricing
The message been passed from the advertisement has to be in such a way that it shows the Brazilian culture which differs from America.
Pricing of the product would also play an important role as there would already be existing competitors for diapers in Brazil. Your price should match or compete with the prices been offered by your competitors.
Answer: If the CEO decides to go with same advertising message which was effective for the USA in Brazil, this my be a wrong decision. The products technical standards may be similar for both countries but the way people would react to same advertisement would differ for both countries.

Accounts receivable $105,000,
Allowance for doubtful accounts $660 (credit),
Sales $340,000
Uncollectibles are estimated to be 1% of sales.
Uncollectibles of 1% of sales means that after adjusting entry is passed the uncollectible amount must be $3400 ( 1% of $340,000) .
We have a credit balance of $ 660
The debit balance in the Allowance for doubtful accounts must be $ 3400.
The adjustment will be = $3400- $660= $ 2740
The Adjusting Entry will be
Bad Debts Expense $ 2740 Debit
Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 2740 Credit
Consider the simple leisure model in which the individual chooses between leisure (L) and money income (M). The marginal utility of leisure (MUL) is 15 and the marginal utility of money (MUM) is 3. At the optimum, the wage rate:_______
a. $45
b. $0.20
c. $5
d. $15
Answer:
Wage rate is $5
Explanation:
The marginal utility of money=marginal utility of leisure/wage rate
When the formula is rearranged,wage rate is given thus:
wage rate=marginal utility of leisure/marginal utility of money
wage rate=15/3
wage rate =$5
In other words, the correct option is C,wage rate is $5
Option D would have been correct if the requirement was to calculate marinal utility of leisure

Bob and Cho Iverson live in Swarthmore, PA. Their son, Eric, owns his own plumbing business.
For each of the following transactions that occur in their lives, identify whether it is included in the calculation of U.S. GDP as part of consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), exports (X), or imports (M). Check all that apply.
Transaction
1. Bob buys a sweater made in Guatemala.
2. The state of Pennsylvania repaves highway PA 320, which goes through the center of Swarthmore.
3. Cho gets a new video camera made in the United States.
4. Eric buys a new set of tools to use in his plumbing business.
5. Bob's employer assigns him to provide consulting services to an Australian firm that's opening a manufacturing facility in China.
Answer:
1. Bob buys a sweater made in Guatemala. - it is an import (M), not included in GPD.
Imports are substracted from exports to reach net exports, which are part of GDP. This is an import because Bob lives in the U.S. and the sweater was made in Guatemala.
2. The state of Pennsylvania repaves highway PA 320, which goes through the center of Swarthmore. - Government purchases (G), included in GDP.
It is a government purchase because it is the state authority who is investing the resources in repaving the highway.
3. Cho gets a new video camera made in the United States. - it is consumption (C), included in GDP.
Cho lives in the U.S. and buys a camera made in the U.S., this is private consumption.
4. Eric buys a new set of tools to use in his plumbing business. - it is investment (I), included in GDP.
Investment are the purchases of goods, by private individuals or firms, with the goal of obtaining future economic benefits from their use. In other words, Investment is the purchase of assets. Eric is buying an asset for his business: a set of tools.
5. Bob's employer assigns him to provide consulting services to an Australian firm that's opening a manufacturing facility in China. - it is an export (X), included in GDP.
Exports are goods and services, produced domestically, but sold abroad. Bob is providing a service to a foreign company, and as an person living in the U.S., the value of that service is an export, and included in the GDP calculation.

The pre-tax cost of debt is 11%, preferred stock costs 14%, and equity costs 15%. What is the weighted average cost of capital assuming a tax rate of 40% and a target capital structure of 40% debt, 20% preferred stock, and 40% equity
Answer:
WACC is 11.4%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the average cost of all the various sources of long-term finance used by a business weighted according to the proportion which each source of finance bears to the the entire pool of fund.
To calculate the weighted average cost of capital, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Calculate cost of individual source of finance(this is already given)
Cost of Equity= 15%
After-tax cost of debt:
= (1- T) × before-tax cost of debt
= 11%× (1-0.4)= 6.6%
Cost of preferred stock costs= 14%
Step 2 : calculate the proportion or weight of the individual source of finance . (This already given)
Equity = 40%
Debt= 40%
Preferred stock : 20%
Step 3; Work out weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
WACC = ( 15%× 40%) + ( 6.6%× 40%) + (14%× 20%)= 11.4%
WACC is 11.4%
