Answer:
a. Determine the annual depreciation expense for each of the estimated five years of use, the accumulated depreciation at the end of each year, and the book value of the equipment at the end of each year by:
(a) the straight-line method
depreciation expense per year = ($800,000 - $90,000) / 5 years = $142,000
End of year depreciation expense book value
1 $142,000 $658,000
2 $142,000 $516,000
3 $142,000 $374,000
4 $142,000 $232,000
and (b) the double-declining-balance method.
depreciation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/5 x $800,000 = $320,000
depreciation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/5 x $480,000 = $192,000
depreciation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/5 x $288,000 = $115,200
depreciation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/5 x $172,800 = $69,120
End of year depreciation expense book value
1 $320,000 $480,000
2 $192,000 $288,000
3 $115,200 $172,800
4 $69,120 $103,680

Mary makes monthly deposits of $450 at the end of each month over 25 consecutive years to support her retirement. If the account earns an interest rate of 7.5%, which amount comes closest to the value of the deposits at the end?
a. $120,938
b. $343,343
c. $382,667
d. $394,767
e. $367,100
Answer:
d. $394,767
Explanation:
For computing the amount of deposit at the end we need to apply the future value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $0
Rate of interest = 7.5% ÷ 12 months = 0.625%
NPER = 25 years × 12 months = 300 months
PMT = $450
The formula is shown below:
= -FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;PV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the future value is $394,767

If the interest rate is 10%, what is the present value of a security that pays you $1,500 next year, $1,400 the year after, and $1,300 the year after that?
Answer:
The present value is $3,497.3
Explanation:
In order to calculate the present value of a security that pays you $1,500 next year, $1,400 the year after, and $1,300 the year after we would have to make the following calculation:
Present Value = payment next year x P/F(10%, 1) + payment the year after x P/F(10%, 2) + payment the year after that x P/F(10%, 3)
Present Value= $1,500 x 0.9091 + $1,400 x 0.8264 + $1,300 x 0.7513
Present Value = $1,363.65 + $1,156.96 + $976.69
Present Value = $3,497.3
The present value is $3,497.3
Suppose a stock had an initial price of $70 per share, paid a dividend of $2.30 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $82.
Requried:
a. Compute the percentage total return.
b. What was the dividend yield and the capital gains yield?
Answer:
Stock, Dividend, and Yield:
a) Computation of the percentage total return:
Total return = Dividend + Capital appreciation = $14.30 ($2.30 + $12)
Percentage of total return = $14.30/$70 x 100 = 20.43%
b1) Dividend yield = Dividend per share / price per share = $2.30/$70 = 0.032857 or 3.29%
b2) Capital gains yield = (Current price - initial investment)/ initial investment = ($82 - $70)/$70 = 0.1714 or 17%
Explanation:
a) The Dividend yield is a financial ratio (dividend/price) that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its stock price.
b) Capital gains yield is the percentage price appreciation on an investment. It is calculated as the increase in the price of an investment, divided by its original acquisition cost. For instance, an equity security that is purchased for $700 and later sold for $825, the capital gains yield is 17.86%.
c) The total return from an investment is the sum of the dividend or interest received plus capital gains.
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.
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.

Explanation:
Charlie’s Furniture Store has been in business for several years. The firm's owners have described the store as a "high-price, high-service" operation that provides lots of assistance to its customers. Margin has averaged a relatively high 34% per year for several years, but turnover has been a relatively low 0.4 based on average total assets of $800,000. A discount furniture Store is about to open in the area served by Charlie's, and management is considering lowering prices to compete effectively.Required:a. Calculate current sales and ROI for Charlie’s Furniture Store. (Round your "ROI" to 1 decimal place.)b. Assuming that the new strategy would reduce margin to 20%, and assuming that average total assets would stay the same, calculate the sales that would be required to have the same ROI as Charlie’s currently earns. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)c. Suppose you presented the results of your analysis in parts a and b of this problem to Charlie, and he replied, "What are you telling me? If I reduce my prices as planned, then I have to practically double my sales volume to earn the same return?" Given the results of your analysis, what is the actual amount of increase in sales required? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)d. Now suppose Charlie says, "You know, I'm not convinced that lowering prices is my only option in staying competitive. What if I were to increase my marketing effort? I'm thinking about kicking off a new advertising campaign after conducting more extensive market research to better identify who my target customer groups are." In general, explain to Charlie what the likely impact of a successful strategy of this nature would be on margin, turnover, and ROI.
Answer:
a. Calculate current sales and ROI for Charlie’s Furniture Store.
asset turnover formula = net sales / average assets
0.4 = net sales / $800,000
net sales = $320,000
ROI = net income / investment
net income = $320,000 x 34% = $108,800
ROI = $108,800 / $800,000 = 13.6%
b. Assuming that the new strategy would reduce margin to 20%, and assuming that average total assets would stay the same, calculate the sales that would be required to have the same ROI as Charlie’s currently earns.
net income = net sales x 20% (new margin)
net sales = $108,800 / 20% = $544,000
c. Suppose you presented the results of your analysis in parts a and b of this problem to Charlie, and he replied, "What are you telling me? If I reduce my prices as planned, then I have to practically double my sales volume to earn the same return?" Given the results of your analysis, what is the actual amount of increase in sales required?
sales increase = ($544,000 - $320,000) / $320,000 = 70% increase
d. Now suppose Charlie says, "You know, I'm not convinced that lowering prices is my only option in staying competitive. What if I were to increase my marketing effort? I'm thinking about kicking off a new advertising campaign after conducting more extensive market research to better identify who my target customer groups are." In general, explain to Charlie what the likely impact of a successful strategy of this nature would be on margin, turnover, and ROI.
An extensive market research and a "successful" marketing campaign are generally expensive. Even if the marketing campaign is really successful in increasing sales, costs would also increase. So the equation may or may not change, depending if the contribution margin of the additional units sold will be able to cover the expenses of a complex marketing campaign. If you spend $100 to earn $100 more, your situation hasn't changed at all. Which means that net income may or may not increase, therefore, the profit margin, ROI and asset turnover may not change.

Project Y lasts for 6 years, while project Z lasts for only 5 years, that is the reason why there NPVs are so different.
Which of the following is a disadvantage of using variable costing? Select one: A. Two sets of accounting records must be maintained. B. Inventory values tend to be overstated. C. CVP relationships are more difficult to determine than under absorption costing. D. Per-customer or per-product contribution margin is obscured.
Answer:
Two sets of accounting records must be maintained.
Explanation:
Variable costing is the costing in which only variable cost is considered i.e direct material cost, direct labor cost, variable manufacturing overhead cost therefore no fixed cost could be considered
Under this the disadvantage is that it recognized two accounting records sets which are to be maintained
Hence, the first option is correct
the government believes that the equilibrium price is too low and tries to help almond growers by settinga price floor at Pf. What are represents the portion of consumer surplus that have been transsferred to produce surplus as a result of the price floor.
Answer: D) B
Explanation:
The Producer Surplus refers to the area below the Price Floor but above the Supply Curve and left of the new Quantity supplied. It comprises of areas B and E.

After the Price Floor was introduced however, area B has become a Producer Surplus.
"In your opinion, how has social media affected customer service in a broad sense? Provide evidence that supports your opinion."
Explanation:
Social media directly impacted the relationship between consumer and company.
First, you need to consider how the internet and social media are widely used by thousands of people around the world as a way to connect with others and exchange information.
Realizing this phenomenon, companies decided to use social media as a way to interact with their customers and attract more audiences. Social media works as a space where the construction of the relationship takes place more instantly and a little less formally, which allows for more in-depth interaction and the creation of a valuable relationship between company and customer.
Through the social media it is possible that the time of an answer for example is drastically reduced, which alters the consumer perception in a positive way.
It is also possible that companies use social media as a tool to improve relationship marketing, which is the creation of value for the customer through content, photos and posts, which generate engagement, approximation, loyalty and connection with consumers.
Suppose that Spain and Germany both produce rye and olives. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 5 bushels of rye while Germany's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 10 bushels of rye.By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that_______has a comparative advantage in the production of olives and_______has a comparative advantage in the production of rye. Suppose that Spain and Germany consider trading olives and rye with each other. Spain can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than______of rye for each crate of olives it exports to Germany. Similarly, Germany can gain from trade as long as it receives more than_______of olives for each bushel of rye it exports to Spain. Which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of olives in terms of rye) would allow both Germany and Spain to gain from trade? a. 9 bushels of rye per crate of olives.b. 15 bushels of rye per crate of olives.c. 8 bushels of rye per crate of olives.d. 3 bushels of rye per crate of olives.
Answer:
1. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that Spain has a comparative advantage in the production of olives and Germany has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.
Germany is able to produce more Rye if it is not producing olives meaning that they are more efficient in this giving them the comparative Advantage.
Spain is able to produce 2x more Olives than Germany for the same amount of Rye so they are more efficient in this manner.
2. Spain can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than 5 bushels of rye for each crate of olives it exports to Germany.
If Spain can get more bushels per Olives than it can produce on it's own then they will make a gain.
3. Similarly, Germany can gain from trade as long as it receives more than ⅒ or 0.1 crate of olives for each bushel of rye it exports to Spain.
Similarly if Germany can get more crates of Olives per Rye than it can produce then it makes a gain. For each Bushel of Rye, Germany can create 0.1 crate of olives. Should they get more than this 0.1 crate then they make a gain.
4. The amount of Rye being exchanged for Olives should be between 5 and 10 bushels.
a. 9 bushels of rye per crate of olives.
c. 8 bushels of rye per crate of olives
At both 8 and 9 bushels of Rye per Olive Crate Germany would be getting more Rye per crate of olive than they can produce on their own and similarly at both 8 and 9 bushes of Rye for olives, Spain would getting more bushels than they could have gotten if they gave up olives to produce Rye.
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.

Marshall has received an inheritance and wants to invest a sum of money today that will yield $5,400 at the end of each of the next 10 years. Assuming he can earn an interest rate of 5% compounded annually, how much of his inheritance must he invest today
Answer:
$3,315.13
Explanation:
To determine the amount of inheritance Marshall should invest today, we have to calculate the present value of $5,400.
PV = FV (1 + r)^-n
FV = Future value = $5,400
P = Present value
R = interest rate 5%
N = number of years 10
$5400(1.05^-10) = $3,315.13

a. True
b. False
Answer:
Option A
True
Explanation:
The attitude of continuous improvement entails that the members of an organization strive to improve on themselves, operations, and processes within the organization. It usually entails learning from both mistakes and business practices of other companies to ensure that there is a constant improvement in the day to day activities of the business.
During the process of continuous improvement, every manager and employee is definitely expected to try out new policies, and practices to see how well they fit in and aid the company to achieve her overall business goals.
This is the only way a strong "continuous improvement " attitude can be maintained company-wide.
Hence, the answer is option A: True.
has 10 percent coupon bonds on the market with 19 years to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments and currently sell for 107.8 percent of par. What is the current yield on the bonds?
Answer:
4.62%
Explanation:
we need to calculate the yield to maturity of the bond:
YTM = [coupon + (face value - market value)/n] / [(face value + market value)/2]
coupon = $50face value = $1,000market value = $1,078n = 38 semiannual paymentsYTM = [$50 + ($1,000 - $1,078)/38] / [($1,000 + $1,078)/2]
YTM = $47.95 / $1,039 = 4.615 ≈ 4.62%

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.
Chou Co. has a net income of $47,000, assets at the beginning of the year are $254,000 and assets at the end of the year are $304,000. Compute its return on assets.
Answer:
Return on assets=28.54%
Explanation:
Return on asset is the average rate of return generated by the asset investment of a business. It is the net income earned as a proportion of the average investment.
Return on assets = net income / Average assets× 100
Average asset value = (opening balance + closing balance of assets)/2
=( 254,000 + 304,000)/2= 164700
Return on assets = 47,000/164,700 × 100 =28.54%
Return on assets=28.54%
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
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
Partners, LLC members and S Corporation shareholders are not taxed on the amount they withdraw from the entity in a nonliquidating distribution when they have sufficient basis (disregarding any other limitation).
a. True
b. False
Answer:
Partners: True
LLC: True

When dividends are withdrawn from a business tax is only due on a S Corporation because the tax paid for the profits of an organization is not by the stockholder withdrawing the dividends which is why when dividend is withdrawn the tax is to be paid.
When dividends are withdrawn in a partnership or and LLC then no tax is payable as tax is already paid on the profits made by the business that is why dividends are not taxable when withdrawn.
You notice that Coca-Cola has a stock price of $ 40.68 and EPS of $ 2.04. Its competitor PepsiCo has EPS of $ 3.43. But, Jones Soda, a small batch Seattle-based soda producer has a P/E ratio of 35.2. Based on this information, what is one estimate of the value of a share of PepsiCo stock? g
Answer:
Estimate Value of a share= $71.81
Explanation:

Value of share = EPS × P/E
The appropriate P/E ratio would be that of a similar operator in the same industry, in this case , Jones Soda.
Hence the estimate value of share =2.04 × 35.2=71.81
Estimate Value of a share= $71.81
