Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of building and land = $5,600,000
Appraised cost of land = $840,000 ($5,600,000 * 15%)
Appraised cost of building = $4,760,000 ( ($5,600,000 * 85%)
Rent from the bottom floor leased to a retail business = $80,000
Rent from the other floors as rental apartments = $350,000
Total value of rental income = $430,000
Retail business % of rental income = 19%
Residential apartments % of rental income = 81%
Cost recovery = $173,091 ($4,760,000/27.5) per annum
For 2 months, the cost recovery = $28,848 ($173,091 * 2/12)

Your firm designs PowerPoint slides for computer training classes, and you have just received a request to bid on a contract to produce the slides for an eight-session class. From previous experience, you know that your firm follows an 85 percent learning rate. For this contract, it appears the effort will be substantial, running 50 hours for the first session. Your firm bills at the rate of $100/hour and the overhead is expected to run a fixed $600 per session. The finder will pay you a flat fixed rate per session. If your nominal profit margin is 20 percent, what will be the total bid price, the per session price, and at what session will you break even
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
To figure out the total bidding price, we must first figure out the total cost of all eight sessions.
To calculate the total expense, we must first determine the total number of hours required for each of the eight sessions.
Now that we know the learning rate is 85% and the first session took 50 hours, we can look up the coefficient of 8 under 85% in the learning curve table E3 and calculate it by the time spent on the first session. The average time taken for 8 sessions with an 85 percent learning curve would be the result.
Total time taken for 8 sessions = 50 x 5.936 (coefficient of 8 under 85% learning rate) = 296.8 = 297 hrs
Fixed cost = 600 x 8 = $4800
Variable cost = 100 x 297 = $29700
Total Cost = 29700 + 4800 = $34500
Total bid price = 34500 x 1.2 = $41400 (adding 20% profit margin on cost)
Price per session = 41400 / 8 = $5175
Break Even Session = 34500 / 5175
Break Even Session = 6.67
Hence, the total cost will be covered by the 7th session.
The conclusion details as below :
To know about the total bidding prices firstly we should know about the total cost of all the session.
We should know the number of hours provided to each Session .
As we all know the learning rates is 85% and the first beginning session took 50hrs, we can look up the coefficient of 8 under 85% in the learning curve table E3 and calculate it by the time spent on the first session
Total time taken for 8 sessions = 50 x 5.936 (coefficient of 8 under 85% learning rate) = 296.8 = 297 hrs
Fixed cost = 600 x 8 = $4800
Variable cost = 100 x 297 = $29700
Total Cost = 29700 + 4800 = $34500
Total bid price = 34500 x 1.2 = $41400 (adding 20% profit margin on cost)
Price per session = 41400 / 8 = $5175
Break Even Session = 34500 / 5175
Break Even Session = 6.67
So as per the above calculation , the cost will be covered by
the 7th Session.

Appliance Center is an experienced home appliance dealer. Appliance Center also offers a number of services for the home appliances that it sells. Assume that Appliance Center sells ovens on a standalone basis. Appliance Center also sells installation services and maintenance services for ovens. However, Appliance Center does not offer installation or maintenance services to customers who buy ovens from other vendors. Pricing for ovens is as follows.
Oven only 803
Oven with installation service 910
Oven with maintenance services 976
Oven with installation and maintenance services 1,040
In each instance in which maintenance services are provided, the maintenance service is separately priced within the arrangement at $173. Additionally, the incremental amount charged by The Center for installation approximates the amount charged by independent third parties. Ovens are sold subject to a general right of return. If a customer purchases an oven with installation and/or maintenance services, in the event The Center does not complete the service satisfactorily, the customer is only entitled to a refund of the portion of the fee that exceeds $803. Assume that a customer purchases an oven with both installation and maintenance services for $1,040.
Required:
Indicate the amount of revenues that should be allocated to the oven, the installation, and to the maintenance contract.
Answer:
Oven $1,133
Installation $150
Maintenance contract $244
Explanation:
Calculation to Indicate the amount of revenues that should be allocated to the oven, the installation, and to the maintenance contract.
Oven= $ 803/($910-173)× $1,040
Oven= $ 803/737×$1,040
Oven =$1,133
Installation= ($910-$803)/($910-173)× $1,040
Installation=$107/737×$1,040
Installation=$150
Maintenance contract= $173/($910-173)× $1,040
Maintenance contract= $173/737×$1,040
Maintenance contract=$ 244
Therefore the amount of revenues that should be allocated to the oven, the installation, and to the maintenance contract are :
Oven $1,133
Installation $150
Maintenance contract $ 244

The premium liability at December 31, 2015 is?
Answer: $108875
Explanation:
First, we calculate the Premium liability at December 31, 2020 which will be:
= (480,000 × 45%) - $110,000/8 × 4
= (216000 - 110000)/8 × 4.
= $53000.
Premium liability at December 31, 2021 will be:
= 53000 + [(620000 × 45%) - $130,000]/8 × 3
= 53000 + 55875
= $108875
This year Lloyd, a single taxpayer, estimates that his tax liability will be $11,350. Last year, his total tax liability was $15,900. He estimates that his tax withholding from his employer will be $8,655. Problem 8-77 Part-a (Algo) a. How much does Lloyd need to increase his withholding by (for the year), in order to avoid the underpayment penalty
Answer:
Lloyd needs to increase his witholding tax to $1,560 this year in order to avoid the underpayment penalty .
Explanation:
As a rule, a citizen can maintain a strategic distance from an underpayment of punishment if their retention and evaluated assessment installment measure up to or surpass one of the two safe harbours
90% of current expense risk = 90% × $11,350
= $10,215
100% of past assessment risk = $15,900
Since his(Lloyd) retention is not equal to or exceed $10,215 or $15,900
Llyod should expand retaining or make payment this year in order to stay away from underpayment punishment
= $10,215 - $8,655
= $1,560

Changing the amount of money in circulation to pursue economic objectives changes the
Answer:
fiscal policy
monetary policy
Explanation:
Monetary policy are policies taken by the central bank of a country to shift aggregate demand.
There are two types of monetary policy :
Expansionary monetary policy : these are polices taken in order to increase money supply. When money supply increases, aggregate demand increases. reducing interest rate and open market purchase are ways of carrying out expansionary monetary policy
Contractionary monetary policy : these are policies taken to reduce money supply. When money supply decreases, aggregate demand falls. Increasing interest rate and open market sales are ways of carrying out contractionary monetary policy
Fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise. The tools of fiscal policy are either taxes and government spending
Fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary
Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes.
Contractionary fiscal policy is when the government reduces the money supply in the economy either by reducing spending or increasing taxes.
A company has two departments, Y and Z that incur wage expenses. An analysis of the total wage expense of $24,000 indicates that Dept. Y had a direct wage expense of $3,000 and Dept. Z had a direct wage expense of $5,000. The remaining expenses are indirect and analysis indicates they should be allocated evenly between the two departments. Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:
Answer:
$11,000;$13,000
Explanation:
Calculation for Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:
First step is to calculate the Indirect wages
Indirect wages = 24,000 - (3000+5000)
Indirect wages= 16,000
Now let calculate Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively,
Departmental wages for dept Y
= 3000 + (16,000/2)
Departmental wages for dept Y=$ 11,000
Departmental wages for dept Z
= 5000 + (16,000/2)
Departmental wages for dept Z= $13,000
Therefore Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:$11,000 ; $13,000

The Department may choose to grant an exception to the examination requirement under certain circumstances. Which of the following situations would probably NOT be considered for an exemption?
Available options are:
A salesperson who has held a valid license within the last 3 years
A broker who surrendered his broker license and has been employed as a salesperson since the surrender
A broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago
A broker associate who held a broker associate license two years ago
Answer:
A broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago
Explanation:
The Department may choose to grant an exception to the examination requirement under certain circumstances except "a broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago."
This is because in the United States, for the real estate brokers to renew a license they need to undergo an examination as part of the requirements. However, they may be granted an exception under specific situations such as
1. When they still hold a valid license within the last 3 years
2. When they hold broker associate valid license within the last two years
3. When they are now into salesperson employment.
Hence, considering the available options, the correct answer is "A broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago."

Answer:
a. Is answered
b. The amount realized increases.
As the mortgage is assumed by the buyer, the seller is now free of the debt in addition to making cash from selling. Realized value therefore increases.
c. The amount realized decreases.
As the mortgage is assumed by the seller, they will have to pay off the mortgage from the cash received therefore their realized value decreases.
d. Amount realized increases.
As the buyer is gets the property subject to the mortgage, they will be the ones making the mortgage payments instead of the seller so the seller's realized value will increase.
e. Realized value increases to $10,000.
The seller accepted the stock so the fair value will be the amount considered for the realized value.

Initial Cost = $30,000
Total Annual costs = 90,000 ($18,000 * 5)
Total costs $120,000
Total Annual revenue = $135,000 ($27,000 * 5)
Salvage value = 4,000
Total revenue = $139,000
Return = $19,000 ($139,000 - $120,000)
Rate of return = $19,000/$120,000 * 100) = 15.83%
b) The rate of return compares the gain from an investment or a product with the costs of the investment. The resulting figure is then expressed as a percentage.
A local grocery store buys USDA A grade pork at the wholesale price of $4 per pound and sells at the retail price of $7 per pound. The grocery store orders once per week. There is no chance to reorder during the week. The meat is good to be sold for one week. Unsold meat have to be dumped (Throw away to regular trash bin is not acceptable, it is hazardous material) at the cost of $0.5 per pound. The weekly demand is uncertain and has a discrete distribution:______.
Demand Probability 300 0.25 400 0.25 500 0.25 600 0.254
How many pounds of meat should be order per week? What is the expected weekly profit?
Answer:
$1,012.5
Explanation:
Cu = Retail price - Wholesale price = $7 - $4 = $3
Co = Wholesale price + Dumping cost = $4 + $0.5 = $4.5
Critical ratio = Cu/(Cu+Co) = 3/(3+4.5) = 0.4
Demand Probability Cumulative probability
300 0.25 0.25
400 0.25 0.50
500 0.25 0.75
600 0.25 1.00
Corresponding demand is 400. Optimal order quantity = 400 pounds
Expected demand = 300*0.25+400*0.25+500*0.25+600*0.25
Expected demand = 450 pounds
Expected shortage = (500-400)*0.25+(600-400)*0.25
Expected shortage = 75
Expected sales = Expected demand - Expected shortage
Expected sales = 450 - 75
Expected sales = 375 pounds
Expected inventory = Order quantity - Expected sales
Expected inventory = 400 - 375
Expected inventory = 25 pounds
Expected weekly profit = Expected sales * Cu - Expected inventory * Co
Expected weekly profit = 375*3 - 25*4.5
Expected weekly profit = $1,012.5
Given the following yield curve: One-year bonds yield 8.50%, two-year bonds yield 9.50%, three-year bonds and greater maturity bonds all yield 10.50%. All bonds are paying annual coupons of 9.50%, once a year. You strongly believe that at year-end the yield curve will be flatten around the 3 year rate. Calculate the one year total rate of return for the one-year bond.
Answer:
One year rate of return will be = 8.49%
Explanation:
Data Given:
One year bonds yield = 8.50%
Two Year Bonds Yield = 9.50%
Three Year Bonds Yield = 10.50%
Coupon = 9.50%
In this question, we are asked to calculate just one year total rate of return for the one-year bond only.
Solution:
Face value of the bond = $1000
For Current Price of One year bond, we need to use excel function.
But first multiply the coupon rate with face value i.e 0.0950 x 1000 = 95
= PV (0.0850, 1, -95, -1000)
Enter the above formula into excel to get the current price of the one year bond.
So,
= PV (0.0850, 1, 95, -1000) = $1009.22
Current Price of the bond = $1009.22
After 1 year, it will mature.
So,
Price of bond at the end of year.
So, now the excel function will be:
= PV (0.0850, 0, -95, -1000) = $1000
Price of bond at the end of year = $1000
Coupon rate = 9.50%
Coupon = 1000 x 0.0950
Coupon = 95
One year rate of return will be = (Price of the bond at the end of year + Coupon - Current price of the bond) divided by Current price of the bond.
One year rate of return will be = ($1000 + 95 - $1009.22)/$1009.22
One year rate of return will be = 0.0849 x 100
One year rate of return will be = 8.49%
