If the yield curve is upward sloping, then short-term debt will be cheaper than long-term debt. Thus, if a firm's CFO expects the yield curve to continue to have an upward slope, this would tend to cause the current ratio to be relatively low, other things held constant.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
As per the given situation, if the yield curve is sloping upwards, it indicates that short-term interest rates are smaller than long-term interest rates.
In this case the bonds have an opposite relationship between the bond price and interest rates and If the short-term rates are lower then the value of the short-term bonds which includes the current liabilities, is higher. Short term bonds are loans to be settled in one.
As we know that
Current ratio = Current assets - Current liabilities
Current liabilities include short-term debt, hence the short-term value is higher as a result of a low current ratio.
Therefore the given statement is true
In your opinion which causes of work stress, or organizational stressors, are likely to be among the most common experienced by air traffic controllers? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
There are four types of organizational stressors: task demands, physical demands, role demands, and interpersonal demands.
For air traffic controllers, task demands are probably the most common organizational stressor that they experience.
Among the task demands, we have the need of quick decisions, critical decisions, and the fact that some information may be incomplete.
The job of an air traffic controller is complex, difficult, requires taking quick, and specially, critical decisions all the time. A bad decision by a traffic controller can be very problematic, and even prove fatal, because of the delicate nature of the job. For all these reasons, air traffic controllers are likely to be subjected to this specific organizational stressor.
can target costing be applied to the banking industry in Ghana
Answer:
The banking industry in Ghana can introduce target costing. However, its application is much more difficult due to the nature of banking services.
Introducing target costing in the banking industry in Ghana will eliminate non-value adding activities that increase the cost of banking in Ghana. It will enable Ghanaian customers to be charged competitive prices for the banking services that are rendered to them, with no more room for process wastages. The quality of services will increase coupled with lowered costs. The service processes will be improved as they will be more focused on the customers, and less on the staff, as it currently obtains in Ghana.
However, the nature of banking services makes introduction of target costing somehow difficult. These characteristics of banking services include: a) the production and consumption of banking services are coincidental, as the services are consumed when they are being produced; b) banking services are not storable like goods; c) banking services are not comparable, one unit to another; d) banking services are not tangible; e) ownership of banking services is not transferable; and f) there is not market price for banking services, except the price limits imposed by regulatory bodies.
Explanation:
Target costing in the banking industry in Ghana will take the form of first determining the market price for services that are acceptable to customers, establishing a target profit, and then designing banking services in such a manner that the costs do not exceed the target costs. The target cost will be the variance between the market price of a banking service and the target profit.

Characteristics of competitive markets The model of competitive markets relies on these three core assumptions:
1. There must be many buyers and sellersâa few players can't dominate the market.
2. Firms must produce an identical productâbuyers must regard all sellers' products as equivalent
. 3. Firms and resources must be fully mobile, allowing free entry into and exit from the industry. The first two conditions imply that all consumers and firms are price takers.
While the third is not necessary for price-taking behavior, assume for this problem that a market cannot maintain competition in the long run without free entry.
Identify whether or not each of the following scenarios describes a competitive market, along with the correct explanation of why or why not. Scenario Competitive?
The government has granted the U.S. Postal Service the exclusive right to deliver mail.
There are hundreds of high school students in need of algebra private teachers services in Dallas. Dozens of companies offer private teaching services, and the parents who seek out private teachers view the quality of the at the different companies to be largely the same.
There are hundreds of colleges that serve millions of students each year. The colleges vary by location, size, and educational quality, which enables students with diverse preferences to find schools that match their needs.
A few major airlines account for the vast majority of air travel. Consumers view all airlines as providing basically the same service and will shop around for the lowest price.
Answer:
The correct answers are:
First Scenario: It is not a perfect competitive market
Second Scenario: It is a perfect competitive market
Third Scenario: It is not a perfect competitive market
Foruth Scenario: It is not a perfect competitive market
Explanation:
First Scenario: The fact that the government has interfere with the market and make it impossible for other companies to operate in there then that market refers to a monopoly where the only seller is the U.S. Postal Service and therefore there can not be another companies selling in the market and that is why it is not a perfect competitive market.
Second Scenario: The fact that there are a lot of buyers and sellers and that the product is perceived as the same and therefore that this one is homogeneous to every consumer makes this market a perfect competitive one.
Third Scenario: The fact that the colleges vary on many variables such as location, size and educational quality makes it impossible to be a competitive market because there is not a homogenoues product but instead the buyers can choose among those colleges due to their differences and needs.
Fourth Scenario: The fact that there are only a few airlines and not many makes it impossible for the market to a be a perfect competitive one and therefore that this market is actually an oligopoly preferently because the buyers will choose mostly by price.
At the level of output at which a single-price monopolist maximizes profit, price is Group of answer choices
Answer:
Greater than marginal cost.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. It is also known as oligopoly, wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes. Any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market is generally referred to as a monopolist.
Also, a single-price monopolist is an individual or seller that sells each unit of its products to all its customer at the same price. Hence, a single-price monopolist doesn't engage in price discrimination among its customers (buyers).
At the level of output at which a single-price monopolist maximizes profit, price is greater than marginal cost because the marginal revenue would be below the demand curve.
However, if the marginal cost is greater than the price, the monopolist will not make any profit.
In a nutshell, profit maximization for the single-price monopolist occurs at the point where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue (MC = MR) on the graph of price (P) against quantity (Q) of goods.
To loosen credit the Federal Reserve will: A sell U.S. Government securities to bank dealers with an agreement to buy them back at a later date B buy U.S. Government securities from bank dealers with an agreement to sell them back at a later date C sell Foreign Government securities to bank dealers with an agreement to buy them back at a later date D buy Foreign Government securities from bank dealers with an agreement to sell them back at a later date
Answer:
B buy U.S. Government securities from bank dealers with an agreement to sell them back at a later date
Explanation:
The Federal reserve uses open market operations to regulate liquidity in the economy. This eases or restricts how bank dealers can give credit.
To ease credit giving ability of bank dealers the Federal Reserve will buy US Government securities from bank dealers. This gives them extra money which they can give out as loans to their customers.
On the other hand when credit needs to be tightened, the Federal Reserve will mop up cash by selling Government securities to the bank dealers

Disposal of Fixed Asset Equipment acquired on January 6 at a cost of $287,000, has an estimated useful life of 8 years and an estimated residual value of $37,400. a. What was the annual amount of depreciation for the Years 1-3 using the straight-line method of depreciation?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing cost= $287,000
Useful life= 8 years
Estimated residual value= $37,400
To calculate the annual depreciation under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (287,000 - 37,400) / 8
Annual depreciation= $31,200
Depreciation remains constant during the useful life of the asset.
We can calculate exactly the annual depreciation for the first year.
Year 1= (31,200/365)*360= $30,772.60

What will be the value of Matt's account in 6 years with his monthly payments if he is earning 6% (APR), 8 % (APR), or 14 % (APR)? What will be the value of Matt's account in 6 years with his monthly payments if he is earning 6% (APR)?
Answer:
$1,555.36
$1656.48
$2013.57
Explanation:
The formula for calculating future value = A (B / r)
B = [(1 + r)^ nm] - 1
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R =Monthly interest rate interest rate
N = number of years
1. 6% APR
$18[ (1 + 0.005)^72 - 1] / 0.005 = $1,555.36
2. 8% APR
$18[ (1 + 0,006667)^72 - 1] / 0.00667 = $1656.48
3. 14% APR
$18[ (1 + 0.011667)^72 - 1] / 0.011667= $2013.57

investment: -$345,000 -$345,000
cash flows:
net income after taxes $50,840 $32,984
+ depreciation expense $57,500 $69,000
net cash flow per year = $108,340 $101,984
payback period:

accounting rate or return:
net income / investment = 14.74% 9.56%
net present value:
NCFs discounted at 6% = $187,743 $84,594
Project Y lasts for 6 years, while project Z lasts for only 5 years, that is the reason why there NPVs are so different.
A company has net income of $7.10 million. Stockholders' equity at the beginning of the year is $35.05 million and, at the end of the year, it is $43.15 million. The only change to stockholders' equity came from net income. The return on equity ratio is approximately:
Answer:
Return on equity ratio 18.16%
Explanation:
Calculation for the return on equity ratio
This first step is to find the Average stock holder equity.
Using this formula
Average stock holder equity =Beginning stock holder equity + ending stock holder /2
Let plug in the formula
Average stock holder equity=$35.02+$43.15/2
Average stock holder equity =$78.17/2
Average stock holder equity =$39.085
Second step is to calculate for the return on equity ratio
Using this formula
Return on equity ratio=NET INCOME/STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
let plug in the formula
Return on equity ratio=$7.10/$39.085
Return on equity ratio=0.18165 ×100
Return on equity ratio=18.16%
Therefore The return on equity ratio is approximately 18.16%
Kramer Manufacturing produces blenders. Its total fixed costs are $30,000. Its variable costs are $55.00 per blender. As production of blenders increases (within the relevant range), fixed costs will
Answer:
As the production of blenders increases, unitary fixed costs decreases.
Explanation:
Its total fixed costs are $30,000. Its variable costs are $55.00 per blender.
On unitary bases, variable costs remain constant. On the contrary, fixed costs vary at a unitary level. Now, the same amount of costs is divided by a larger number of units.
As the production of blenders increases, unitary fixed costs decreases.

Sheffield Corp. manufactures customized desks. The following pertains to Job No. 953: Direct materials used $26800 Direct labor hours worked 400 Direct labor rate per hour $16.00 Machine hours used 300 Applied factory overhead rate per machine hour $30.00 What is the total manufacturing cost for Job No. 953?
Answer:
The answer is $42,200
Explanation:
Direct materials used by Sheffield Corp = $26,800
Direct labor hours used Sheffield Corp = 400 x $16.00
= $6,400
Factory overhead cost Sheffield Corp = 300 x $30.00
= $9,000
The total manufacturing cost for Job No. 953 incurred by Sheffield Corp is therefore,
$26,800 + $6,400 + $9,000
= $42,200

In response to the financial crisis that began in 2007, the government began to bail out banks deemed "too big to fail." Critics of this action argued that this would create the prospect of future bailouts and encourage banks to be fiscally irresponsible in the future. This illustrates
Answer:
The moral hazard problem
Explanation:
Moral hazard problem is defined as a situation where a party gets involved in a risky venture knowing that another party will incur the cost of failure.
For example if a borrower knows that he can take borrowed funds and default easily, he will tend to not pay back because the lender will bear the loss.
During the the financial crisis that began in 2007, the government began to bail out banks deemed "too big to fail."
This created fiscal irresponsibility in banks that knew if they are at risk of failing they will be bailed out by the government.
Carlota Company estimates that the marginal cost of manufacturing its Professional Series guitars is given by the following in dollars/month when the level of production is x guitars/month.
C '(x) = 0.008x + 90
The fixed costs incurred by Carlota are $8500/month. Find the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month.
Answer:
C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + $8,500
Explanation:
In order to find the to monthly cost C(x) incurred, the marginal cost C '(x) = 0.008x + 90 will have to be integrated using integral calculus as follows:
[tex]\int\limits {0.008x +90} \, dx = C(x) = \frac{0.008}{2}x^{2} +90 +C[/tex]
Where C is the constant or fixed costs
The equation above can be further solved as follows:
[tex]C(x) =0.004x^{2} +90x+C[/tex]
Since fixed costs is $8500/month, we substitute for C to obtain the the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month as follows:
C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + $8,500

The Fridge-Air Company's preferred stock pays a dividend of $4.50 per share annually. If the required rate of return on comparable quality preferred stocks is 14 percent, calculate the value of Fridge-Air's preferred stock.
Answer:
Present value = $32.1428 rounded off to $32.14
Explanation:
The preferred stock is a stock that pays a constant dividend and after equal interval of time for an indefinite period. Thus, it is like a perpetuity. The formula for the present value of perpetuity is,
Present value = Cash flow / r
Where,
r is the required rate of returnIn case pf preferred stock, the cash flow is the dividend paid by the preferred stock.
So, the value of the preferred stock is,
Present Value = 4.5 / 0.14
Present value = $32.1428 rounded off to $32.14
If the real money demand is greater than the real money supply, interest rates must rise to reach equilibrium in the money market as institutions sell bonds to obtain more money.1. True2. False
Answer:
2. False
Explanation:
The market for money is like the market for any other good: if demand is higher than supply, then, the price of money (the interest rate), will have to be lowered, so that money becomes cheaper and more abundant, and supply and demand become equal and reach equilibrium.
In this case, the centrla bank needs to lower the interest rates by buying bonds. When the central bank buys bonds, it prints more money that is put in the market, effectively increasing the supply of money, and lowering the interest rate in the meantime.

OS Environmental provides cost-effective solutions for managing regulatory requirements and environmental needs specific to the airline industry. Assume that on July 1 the company issues a one-year note for the amount of $5.2 million. Interest is payable at maturity.
Determine the amount of interest expense that should be recorded in a year-end adjusting entry under each of the following independent assumptions:
Interest rate Fiscal year-end Interest expense
12% December 31
10% September 30
9% October 31
6% January 31
Answer:
In accrual basis accounting, expenses are recorded in the period when their matching revenues are obtained.
In this case, even if the full interest will be paid at maturity, interest expense will still be recorded in each period according to the information that we are given in the question.
Interest expense to be recorded by December 31
5,200,000 * 0.12 = 624,000 / 2 = 312,000
Interest expense to be recorded by September 30
5,200,000 * 0.10 = 520,000 * 3/12 = 130,000
Interest expense to be recorded by October 31
5,200,000 * 0.09 = 468,000 * 4/12 = 156,000
Interest expense to be recorded by January 31
5,200,000 * 0.06 = 312,000 * 7/12 = 182,000

Explanation:
The required reserve ratio is the fraction of the total deposit that a bank recieves which is mandated by the central bank to be kept and should not be given out.
If the entire banking system has $50 million in excess reserves and a required reserve ratio of 10 percent. The deposit-creation potential of the banking system will be:
= $50million/10%
= $50million/0.1
= $500 million
