A customer purchases $100,000 of corporate bonds at 80% in a margin account. The customer must deposit:
Answer:
$16,000
Explanation:
Computation of what the customer must deposit for purchasing $100,000 of corporate bonds at 80% in a margin account
Since the minimum maintenance is the standard that is set by FINRA is the greater of 7% of the face amount or 20% of the market value.
Hence,
The bonds are purchased at 80% of $100,000 par, thus the first step is to find the 80% of $100,000. Calculated as :
80%×$100,000= $80,000
Second step is to find the 20% of $80,000 which is calculated as:
20% ×$80,000 = $16,000.
Third step is to find the 7% of $100,000, calculated as:
7% of $100,000 face = $7,000.
Based on the above calculation the greater amount is $16,000 which means that the customer must deposit the amount of $16,000 which is the greater amount.
"Bic, which is widely known for producing ballpoint pens and related writing products, tried to introduce Bic disposable underwear. The reason this new product failed is likely because of"
Answer: a. ineffective branding.
Explanation:
People were already used to seeing Bic as a pen brand to the extent that in some countries Bic is a generic name for all pens . When they introduced the underwear, people could probably see no need to buying an underwear with the Bic brand because they knew it as a pen brand. They therefore could not generate a strong brand association with the new product.
It is the same logic as when an actor has been on a Sitcom for so long that when they take on other roles, the public judges them a bit too harshly for it because they are not used to them in other roles.

tock is trading at $100 and you buy a put option on it with one year to expiration and a strike price of $110. The put premium is $15. What is the maximum profit you can make on this put option if you wait until expiration
Answer:
The answer is -$5
Explanation:
A put option gives its owner/holder the right but not the obligation to sell. The holder of a put option is expecting the price of the underlying asset(stock) to drop.
The formula is:
Profit = max(0, X - St) - P
where X is the strike or exercise price
St is the market value or the spot price of the underlying asset
P is the premium
max(0, $110 - $100) - $15
10 - $15

You have been appointed to lead an existing group. Your boss, who informed you of the assignment, made these comments: "These people have some real issues. They have been a problem for years. They stick together like family but never seem to get much work done." Which of these would best describe this group?
Answer:
This is a group that can be defined by its high cohesiviness and low performance norms.
Explanation:
In this case, the new leader must focus on solving this problem that already exists where team members have high cohesion, but who have a low performance with regard to compliance with internal rules and procedures.
The ideal in this case would be for the leader to review the set of company policies and standards and seek to establish new rules and procedures for living and working together.
Having a cohesive team is not a weakness for an organization, the ideal is to know how to exploit the potential of each member of that team, so that each one delivers to the company an effective job that contributes to the achievement of the objectives and organizational goals.
The manager can also invest in training, redesigning the layout of work and tasks, setting deadlines for completing activities, delivering warnings to ward off inappropriate behavior during working hours, etc.

Confectioners, a chain of candy stores, purchases its candy in bulk from its suppliers. For a recent shipment, the company paid $2700 and received 7500 pieces of candy that are allocated among three groups. Group 1 consists of 2230 pieces that are expected to sell for $0.15 each. Group 2 consists of 4960 pieces that are expected to sell for $0.31 each. Group 3 consists of 310 pieces that are expected to sell for $0.67 each. Using the relative sales value method, what is the cost per item in Group 1
Answer:
group units selling price total
1 2,230 $0.15 $334.50
2 4,960 $0.31 $1,537.60
3 310 $0.67 $207.70
total $2,079.80
Something is not right with the question, since the company paid too much money for the candy that they purchased. In order to allocate costs, we divide the cost by the selling price = $2,700 / $2,079.80 = $1.2982
the unit cost for each candy is:
Group sales price per unit adjusting cost factor cost per unit
1 $0.15 $1.2982 $0.195
2 $0.31 $1.2982 $0.402
3 $0.67 $1.2982 $0.87

the pure expectations theory holds, which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The maturity risk premium would be zero. b. The yield curve for Treasury securities would be flat, but the yield curve for corporate securities might be downward sloping. c. If 2-year bonds yield more than 1-year bonds, an investor with a 2-year time horizon would almost certainly end up with more money if he or she bought 2-year bonds. d. The yield curve for both Treasury and corporate bonds should be flat. e. The yield curve for Treasury securities cannot be downward sloping.
Answer: The Maturity Risk Premium would be zero.
Explanation:
The Pure Expectations Theory believes that forward rates are just a representation of what people expect Future rates to be.
For this reason therefore, it believed that the Maturity Premium is Zero amongst Long Term Treasury Securities and that the difference in interest rates attached to Treasury bonds of different maturities is simply a result of what people perceive future interest rates to look like but as for Maturity Premiums, it doesn't exist in long term Treasury Securities.
On December 31, 2021, Coolwear Inc. had balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $44,000 and $1,300, respectively. During 2022, Coolwear wrote off $775 in accounts receivable and determined that there should be an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $4,100 at December 31, 2022. Bad debt expense for 2022 would be:
Answer: $3,575
Explanation:
Opening balance for Allowance for Noncollectable Accounts for 2022 is closing balance for 2021 = $1,300.
Cool wear wrote off $775 during the year which would come out of the allowance;
= 1,300 - 775
= $525
An allowance of $4,100 was determined for the year which means that the Bad debt expense is the difference between the determined allowance and the current balance because this is the amount that the account had to be increased by to cater for the bad debt expense.
= 4,100 - 525
= $3,575

YellowCard Company manufactures accessories for iPods. It had the following selected transactions during 2017. (Note: For any part of this problem requiring an interest or discount rate, use 10%.)
1. YellowCard provides a 2-year warranty on its docking stations, which it began selling in 2017. During 2017, YellowCard spent $6,000 servicing warranty claims. At year-end, YellowCard estimates that an additional $45,000 will be spent in the future to service warranties related to 2017 sales.
2. YellowCard has a $200,000 loan outstanding from First Trust Corp. The loan is set to mature on February 28, 2018. For several years, First Trust has agreed to extend the loan, as long as YellowCard makes all its quarterly interest payments (interest is due on the last days of each February, May, August, and November) and maintains an acid-test ratio (also called "quick ratio") of at least 1.25. First Trust has provided YellowCard a "commitment letter" indicating that First Trust will extend the loan another 12 months, providing YellowCard makes the interest payment due on March 31.
3. During 2016, YellowCard constructed a small manufacturing facility specifically to manufacture one particular accessory. YellowCard paid the construction contractor $5,000,000 cash (which was the total contract price) and placed the facility into service on January 1, 2017. Because of technological change, YellowCard anticipates that the manufacturing facility will be useful for no more than 10 years. The local government where the facility is located required that, at the end of the 10-year period, YellowCard remediate the facility so that it can be used as a community center. YellowCard estimates the cost of remediation to be $500,000.

--to record interest expense for the loan and installment--
Manufacturing Facilities 5,192,772 debit
Cash 5,000,000 credit
Restoration Liability 192,772 credit
-- to record the payment to contractor--
Explanation:
Warranty: the additional expected expense are considered warranty laibility
Loan: we previously recorded accrued interest from March 1st to Dec 31th
That is: 200,000 x 10% x 10/12 months = 16,667 payable
At February 28th we recognize the last two month of interest
200,000 x 10% x 2/12 months = 3,333 expense
in total we have 16,667 + 3,333 = 20,000 cash outlay
Facility: the asset should add to all the cost necessary to acquire it:
As the conversion into community center is mandatory it is part of the cost:

Home equity line interest. Sean and Amy Anderson have a home with an appraised value of $180,000 and a mortgage balance of only $90,000. Given that an S&L is willing to lend money at a loan-to-value ratio of 75 percent, how big a home equity credit line can Sean and Amy obtain? How much, if any, of this line would qualify as tax-deductible interest if their house originally cost $100,000?
Answer:
$135,000
$75,000
Explanation:
Home value = $180,000
Loan to Value ratio = 75%
Formula: Maximum loan amount = Home value x loan to value ratio
Maximum loan amount = $180,000 x 75%
Maximum loan amount = $135,000
If the value of house is $100,000 then,
$100,000 x 75% = $75,000
$75,000 would qualify as Tax deductible interest

In 1985, a given Japanese imported automobile sold for 1,476,000 yen, or $8,200. If the car still sold for the same amount of yen today but the current exchange rate is 144 yen per dollar, what would the car be selling for today in U.S. dollars?
Answer:
The car will be selling for $10250 today
Explanation:
To calculate the selling price of the car in dollars today, we have to convert the value of 1476000 yen into dollars based on the exchange rate between dollars and yen today. It is known that the car will be sold for the same amount of yen today for which it was sold in 1985 and this amount is 1476000 yen.
We know that 1 dollar equals 144 yen.
Thus, let x be the number of dollars that equal 1476000 yen today.
x = 1476000 / 144
x = $10250
The car will be sold for $10250 today

A lumber mill is capable of producing 10,000 board feet of lumber per day when run ten hours per day with minimal breaks. Over the past year, forestry legislation has reduced the availability of raw materials, so the mill has produced an average of 4,575 board feet per day. What is the utilization of the plant
Answer:
45.75%
Explanation:
When asking for the utilization of the plant, the question is basically referring to how much of its full potential is the plant currently operating at. Therefore this can be calculated by dividing its current output (4,575) by its maximum output (10,000) like so...
4,575 / 10,000 = 0.4575
Now we multiply that by 100 in order to get the percentage.
0.4575 * 100 = 45.75%
Therefore the current utilization of the plant is 45.75%

Answer: The capital gains yield on a stock that the investor already owns has a direct relationship with the firm’s expected future stock price.
Explanation:
The Capital Gains on a security refers to the increase in the price of the security from the cost that it was bought at. The Yield can therefore be calculated by dividing the difference between the Security Price now and the Security Price at cost by the Security Price at Cost.
If the price is higher than the cost, that is a Capital Gain. The reverse is a loss.
Therefore, a Company's future stock price is directly related to the Capital Gains Yield of an investor who is already holding the stock. If the future price increases, the Capital Gains Yield on that stock will go up. The reverse is true.
If workers leave a country to seek out better opportunities in another country, then this will move the original economy up along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. move the original economy down along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the left. shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the right.
Answer: Shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the left.
Explanation:
Workers are an input in the production of goods and services. If workers in an economy reduce in number, this would mean that there would be less workers able to produce goods and services in the country. This will invariably lead to a decrease in the amount of goods and services supplied and when there is a decrease in supply, the Short-Run Aggregate Supply curve will shift to the left to reflect this.
Consumerism is described as activities undertaken by independent individuals, groups, and organizations to protect their rights as consumers.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
This alternative is true, as consumerism can be defined as a phenomenon that is positive for economic growth to occur, because through the increase in the consumption of goods and services, companies benefit from increased sales, revenues and profits while consumers benefit from the utilities and benefits of the consumer goods they purchase.
Therefore, consumerism is seen as a phenomenon that strengthens the capitalist economy, as consumer spending accounts for most of the GDP and aggregate demand, factors essential to economic growth.
