Answer:
There are several ways to compute the degree of operating leverage (DOL). A fairly intuitive approach is expressed below.
DOL = (sales - variable costs) / (sales - variable costs - fixed costs)
For Kendall, the DOL is computed as follows:
DOL = (1,000 * $60 - 1,000 * $60 * .30) / (1,000 * $60 - 1,000 * $60 * .30 - $30,000) = 3.5

Cindy's apartment complex is offering renters insurance through their insurance company. The insurance company charges an annual premium of $565.00 which can be paid in equal payments throughout the year with her monthly rent. Cindy's monthly rent is currently $789.00. What will Cindy's new rent be if she includes the renters insurance?
Answer:
$836.08 per month
Explanation:
In order to calculate Cindy's new monthly rent, we would simply need to divide the renter's insurance by 12 since there are 12 months in a year. and then add that product to her monthly rent like so...
565.00 / 12 = 47.08
789 + 47.08 = 836.08
Finally, we can see that Cindy's new rent after including the renters insurance would be $836.08 per month

During Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials and conversion respectively for March using the weighted-average method. Multiple Choice, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 20,000 units that were in process at the beginning of March and 100,000 units that were started and completed in March. March's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 54% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of March, 29,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 29% complete with respect to conversion. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials and conversion respectively for March using the weighted-average method.
Answer:
Computing the equivalent units using the weighted-average method:
Materials Conversion
Total equivalent units 129,000 108,410
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning inventory = 20,000 units
Degree of completion (Materials 100%, Conversion 54%)
Units started and completed in March = 100,000
Units transferred out = 120,000
Ending inventory = 29,000 units
Degree of completion (Materials 100%, Conversion 29%)
Total equivalent units Materials Conversion
Units started & completed 100,000 (100%) 100,000 (100%)
Units in Ending Inventory 29,000 (100%) 8,410 (29%)
Total equivalent units 129,000 108,410
b) In computing the equivalent units of production, the weighted-average method takes into account the units started and completed within the period and the ending work in process. This is unlike the FIFO method, which considers the units completed in the beginning work-in-process during the current period, the units started and completed, and the ending work-in-process inventory based on their various degrees of completion.
You have $B in your bank account. You are asked if you would like to participate in a bet in which, if you win, your bank account will become $W. However, if you lose, your bank account will contain only $L. You win the bet with probability pw. How large should pw be to accept the bet? (
Answer:
Pw = ( B - L ) / ( W-L )
Explanation:
pW + pL = 1 ------ ( 2 )
Expected value after placing bet = W*pW + L*pL ------ ( 2 )
pL = ( 1 - pW ) from equation 1
rewrite equation 2
W*pW + L*( 1 - pW ) ------ (3)
The condition to accept bet is ; W*pW + L*( 1 - pW ) > $B
= W*pW + L - LpW > $B ( factorize )
= ( W - L ) * pW + L > $B
hence the value of Pw = ( B - L ) / ( W-L )
15. Consider a no-load mutual fund with $400 million in assets, 50 million in debt, and 15 million shares at the start of the year; and $500 million in assets, 40 million in debt, and 18 million shares at the end of the year. During the year investors have received income distributions of $0.50 per share, and capital gains distributions of $0.30 per share. Assuming that the fund carries no debt, and that the total expense ratio is 0.75%, what is the rate of return on the fund
Answer:
12.09%.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the rate of return on the fund
First step is to calculate the beginning year NAV
Beginning year NAV = ($400 million assets - 50 million debt) / 15 million shares
Beginning year NAV = 23.33
Second step is to calculate the ending year NAV
Ending year NAV = ($500 million assets - (500*0.75% expense) - 40 million debt] / 18 million shares
Ending year NAV =[456.25/18 million shares]
Ending year NAV =25.35
Now let calculate the return using this formula
Return = (Ending NAV -beginning NAV + Capital gain + income) / Beginning NAV)
Let plug in the formula
Return = (25.35-23.33+0.30+0.50)/23.33
Return = 12.09%
Therefore the rate of return on the fund is 12.09%

At the beginning of April, Owl Corporation has a balance of $11,500 in the Retained Earnings account. During the month of April, Owl had the following external transactions.
1. Issue common stock for cash, $10,000.
2. Provide services to customers on account, $7,000.
3. Provide services to customers in exchange for cash, $1,700.
4. Purchase equipment and pay cash, $6,100.
5. Pay rent for April, $1,200.
6. Pay employee salaries for April, $2,000.
7. Pay dividends to stockholders, $1,250.
Required:
Using the external transactions above, compute the balance of Retained Earnings at April 30. (Decreases should be entered as a negative.)
Answer: $15,750
Explanation:
Retained earnings are profits so will be increased by sales and services provided and reduced by expenses.
They will also be reduced by dividends because that is where dividends are paid from:
Retained earnings = Opening balance + service for customers + service for customers - rent - employee salaries - dividends
= 11,500 + 7,000 + 1,700 - 1,200 - 2,000 - 1,250
= $15,750

The US Government is forecasting that the nominal risk-free rate of return on Treasury Notes maturing in 7 years is 2.5% and is expected to be constant for the foreseeable future. Apple Computer's Treasury department is considering issuing a 7 year corporate bond and they know that Apple's corporate bonds generally yield investors 100 basis points or 1% over the nominal risk free rate at the time of issuance. The bonds will be issued at par value. What is the coupon percentage and total yield expected on these new 7 year bonds?
a. 3.5%
b. 10%
c. 2.5
d. Cannot determine
Answer:
a. 3.5%
Explanation:
If the nominal interest rate of the Treasury bonds is 2.5%, and Apple's corporate bonds yield 1%, just add 2.5% + 1% = 3.5%.
when you are talking about bonds, 100 points = 1%. This many times confuses people that are not aware of this since you hear that a bond will pay 50 points more and you imagine a really high interest rate.

Assuming there are 270 units on hand at the end of the period, compute the cost of the ending inventory under (a) the FIFO method and (b) the LIFO method. Wildhorse Co. uses a periodic inventory system. FIFO LIFO The Ending Inventory $Enter a dollar amount $Enter a dollar amount
Answer:
The cost of the ending inventory under FIFO is $2,430 and under LIFO is $1,620
Explanation:
First determine the units sold
Units Sold = Total Purchases - Units in hand
= 1,410 units - 270 units
= 1,140
Note ; Wildhorse Co. uses a periodic inventory system. This means we calculate the cost at the end of the period.
FIFO
Means First in First Out
Cost of the ending inventory = 270 x $9.00 = $2,430
LIFO
Means Last in First Out
Cost of the ending inventory = 270 x $6.00 = $1,620
Conclusion
The cost of the ending inventory under FIFO is $2,430 and under LIFO is $1,620

A corporation is concerned about their exposure to criminal liability after the most recent election cycle placed a number of new legislators in Congress who campaigned against corporate corruption. Select the strategy that would be least effective in reducing the company's criminal liability.
A. It could prioritize ethical leadership when making hiring decisions for management-level positions.
B. It could encourage reporting by establishing internal protections for whistleblowers beyond what is provided by Congressional law.
C. It could strengthen its code of ethics to reflect the current political mood.
D. It could donate to the election campaigns of the new members of Congress to establish goodwill.
Answer:
The strategy that would be least effective in reducing the company's criminal liability is:
D. It could donate to the election campaigns of the new members of Congress to establish goodwill.
Explanation:
While the other three options will effectively reduce the company's criminal liability exposure, option D is the least that is likely to have a positive or effective effect. This implies that option D is most likely to aggravate the criminal liability of the company as it will be regarded as bribery to cover up a crime.
The optimal risky portfolio can be identified by finding ____________. I. the minimum variance point on the efficient frontier II. the maximum return point on the efficient frontier the minimum variance point on the efficient frontier III. the tangency point of the capital market line and the efficient frontier IV. the line with the steepest slope that connects the risk free rate to the efficient frontier A. I and II only B. II and III only C. I and IV only D. III and IV only
Answer:
D. III and IV only.
Explanation:
Portfolio variance can be defined as the measurement of risk or dispersion of returns of a set of securities that makes up a portfolio fluctuate over a period of time.
Simply stated, portfolio variance is typically the total returns of the portfolio over a specific period of time.
In order to calculate the portfolio variance, the standard deviations of each security in the portfolio with their respective correlations security pair in the portfolio would be used. Portfolio variance is the square of standard deviation.
A two-asset portfolio with a standard deviation of zero can be formed when the assets have a correlation coefficient equal to negative one (-1) because this defines the efficiency frontier. In Economical portfolio theory, the efficient frontier is a group of optimal portfolios that offers an investor the highest expected return for a specific risk level or offers the lowest risk for a defined level of expected return.
A common risk can be defined as a type of risk that affects the entirety of a business firm or company and as such can't be diversified.
Generally, the optimal risky portfolio can be identified by finding the tangency point of the capital market line and the efficient frontier and the line with the steepest slope that connects the risk free rate to the efficient frontier.
A company expects to pay a dividend of $3.50 per share one year from today. the dividend is expected to grow at 30 percent per year for three years. Thereafter, the dividend will grow at 4 percent per year in perpetuity. if the appropriate discount rate for the stock is 13 percent, what is the price of the stock today
Answer: $70
Explanation:
Price = Present value of year 1 dividend + Present value of year 2 dividend + Present value of year 3 dividend + Present value of year 4 dividend + Present value of year 4 price
Year 4 price = Year 4 dividend / ( Required return - Growth rate after 3 years)
= (3.50 * 1.30³ * 1.04) / (13% - 4%)
= $88.856
Price = (3.50 / (1 + 13%)) + ( (3.50 * 1.3) / 1.13²) + ( (3.50 * 1.3²) / 1.13³) + ( (3.50 * 1.3³) / 1.13⁴) + 88.856/1.13⁴
= $69.97
= $70
In 2020, Henry Jones works as a freelance driver, finding customers using various platforms like Uber and Grubhub. He is single and has no other sources of income. In 2020, Henry's qualified business income from driving is $61,200. Assume Henry takes the standard deduction of $12,400. Click here to access the 2020 individual tax rate schedule to use for this problem. Assume the QBI amount is net of the self-employment tax deduction. Compute Henry's QBI deduction and his tax liability for 2020.
Answer:
Henry's QBI deduction = $9,760
Henry's taxable income = $39,040
Henry's tax liability = $4,487.30
Explanation:
QBI deduction = (AGI - standard deduction) x 20% = ($61,200 - $12,400) x 20% = $9,760
total taxable income = $61,200 - $12,400 - $9,760 = $39,040
tax liability = $987.50 + [12% x ($39,040 - $9,875)] = $987.50 + $3,449.80 = $4,487.30
How are wages for a particular job determined?
by the federal Wage and Hour Department
by the amount of inflation in the economy
by the equilibrium between supply and demand for workers
by advertisements in the newspaper or online
Answer:
by the equilibrium between supply and demand for workers
Explanation:
Wages are the amount to pay workers for a particular job when employed. Therefore, determining the wages for a particular job is mostly dependent "on the equilibrium between supply and demand for workers, " and sometimes location.
This is because the higher the number of workers available, the lesser the employers would be willing to increase the wage level of employees given the fact that they can easily find another employee. However, where there is a lesser number of employees for a particular job, the employers would be willing to increase the employees' wages to entice them.
According to the labor market equilibrium, The wages for a particular job are determined by the equilibrium between supply and demand for workers. Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
The term "labor market," sometimes referred to as the "job market," describes the supply and demand for labor, with employers meeting the demand and employees meeting the supply.
The supply and demand of labor, which are met by employees and employers respectively, are referred to as the labor market.Both macroeconomic and microeconomic perspectives on the labor market are important because they provide useful information on employment and the state of the economy as a whole.Two crucial macroeconomic indicators are labor productivity rates and unemployment rates.Therefore, The wages for a particular job are determined by the equilibrium between supply and demand for workers. Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

Unitary contribution margin= 160,000 / 8,000
unitary contribution margin= $20
Now, the net income for 7,600 units:
Contribution margin= 7,600*20= 152,000
Fixed expenses= (103,500)
Net operating income= $48,500
Bakery A sells bread for $2 per loaf that costs $0.50 per loaf to make. Bakery A gives an 80% discount for its bread at the end of the day. Demand for the bread is normally distributed with a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 30. What order quantity maximizes expected profit for Bakery A
Answer:
324
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What order quantity maximizes expected profit for Bakery A
First step is for the Salvage value
Salvage value = $2 × (1 - 80%)
Salvage value= $0.40
Second step is to calculate the Overage cost
Overage cost = $0.50 - $0.40
Overage cost = $0.10
Second step is to calculate the Underage cost
Underage cost = $2 - $0.50
Underage cost = $1.50
Third step is to calculate the The critical ratio
The critical ratio = 1.5/(1.5 + 0.4) = 0.79. z = 0.8
Now let calculate the Order quantity
Order quantity = 300 + (0.8× 30)
Order quantity= 324
Therefore the order quantity maximizes expected profit for Bakery A is 324
Cincinnati Exporters wants to raise $40 million to expand its business. To accomplish this, it plans to sell 22-year, $1,000 face value, semiannual coupon bonds. The bonds will be priced to yield 6.85 percent and coupon rate of 5.72 percent. What is the minimum number of bonds it must sell to raise the money it needs
Answer:
Minimum number of units to be issued = 45,791.4 units
Explanation:
The units of the bonds to be sold to raise the money equals to the price of the bonds divided by the sum to be raised
The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.
These cash flows include interest payment and redemption value
The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payment
Semi-annual coupon rate = 5.72/2 = 2.86 %
Semi-annual Interest payment =( 2.86 %×$1000)= $28.6
Semi annual yield = 6.85%/2 = 3.42%
PV of interest payment
= A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- interest payment, r- yield -3.42%, n- no of periods- 2 × 22 = 44 periods
= 28.6× (1-(1.0342)^(-44)/0.0342)= 645.82
Step 2
PV of redemption value (RV)
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
RV - redemption value- $1000, n- 7, r- 4.5%
= 1,000 × (1+0.0342)^(-2×22)
= 1000 × 1.0342^(-44)= 227.7
Step 3
Price of bond = PV of interest payment + PV of RV
645.82 + 227.7= 873.525
Minimum number of units to be issued = $40 million/873.5= 45,791.4 units
Minimum number of units to be issued = 45,791.4 units
Why are the incentives of a supplier the opposite of the incentives of a demander
Answer:
The incentives of a supplier are the opposite of the incentives of a demander because it is a relationship whose nature makes supply and demand inversely proportional to each other: the higher the supply, the lower the demand for each product and the lower its price; While the lower the supply, the greater the demand for each product and the higher its price. Thus, in many cases, suppliers seek to restrict supply to maximize profits, while demanders seek to lower prices through a greater quantity of goods offered.
