C) the price of the bonds will decrease over time. As the nominal amount will suffer from less discounting over time at maturity will match the nominal amount of $ 1,000. To do so It need to decrease over time.
Explanation:
The value of the bonds will be the present value of the future coupon payment and maturity at the new rate of 6%
PV of the coupon payment
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 50.000 (1,000 x 10% / 2 ayment per year)
time 16 (8 year to maturity x 2 payment per year)
rate 0.03 (6% over two payment per year)
[tex]50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.03)^{-16} }{0.03} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $628.0551
PV of the maturity
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,000.00

Spending Volume
Answer:
Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = $5,000 Unfavorable(U).
Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = $20,000 Favorable (F).
Explanation:
Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = Actual Fixed Overheads - Budgeted Fixed Overheads
= $305,000 - $300,000
= $5,000 Unfavorable(U).
Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = Fixed Overheads at Actual Production - Budgeted Fixed Overheads
= ($5.00 × 64,000) - $300,000
= $320,000 - $300,000
= $20,000 Favorable (F)
Galaxy Corp. is considering opening a new division to make iToys that it expects to sell at a price of $15,250 each in the first year of the project. The company expects the cost of producing each iToy to be $6,700 in the first year; however, it expects the selling price and cost per iToy to increase by 3.00% each year.
Based on the preceding information and rounding dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollars, the company expects the selling price in the fourth year of the project to be_______ , and it expects the cost per unit in the fourth year of the project to be _______.
Answer:
Selling price= $17,164
Unitary variable cost= $7,541
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price in the first year= $15,250
Unitary variable cost on the first year= $6,700
Increase rate= 3%
To calculate the selling price and variable cost per unit in the fourth year, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
PV= current value
i= increase rate
n= number of years
Selling price= 15,250*(1.03^4)= $17,164
Unitary variable cost= 6,700*(1.03^4)= $7,541
A proposed project has fixed costs of $47,000 per year. The operating cash flow at 11,000 units is $69,000. a. Ignoring the effect of taxes, what is the degree of operating leverage
Answer: 1.68
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a proposed project has fixed costs of $47,000 per year and that the operating cash flow at 11,000 units is $69,000.
Ignoring the effect of taxes, the degree of operating leverage will be:
= 1 + ($47,000/$69,000)
= 1 + 0.68
= 1.68

The city of Oak Ridge is considering the construction of a four kilometer (km) greenway walking trail. It will cost $1 comma 000 per km to build the trail and $340 per km per year to maintain it over its 22-year life. If the city's MARR is 11% per year, what is the equivalent uniform annual cost of this project? Assume the trail has no residual value at the end of 22 years.
Answer:
equivalent uniform annual cost = $1,849.25
Explanation:
Initial cost $4,000
then 22 cash outflows of $1,360
discount rate 11%
using a financial calculator, we determine the NPV = -$15,119.01
EAC = (NPV x r) / [1 - (1 + r)⁻ⁿ]
EAC = (-$15,119.01 x 11%) / [1 - (1 + 11%)⁻²²] = -$1,663.09 / 0.89933 = -$1,849.25
rojects A and B are mutually exclusive and have an initial cost of $78,000 each. Project A provides cash inflows of $32,000 a year for three years while Project B produces a cash inflow of $44,400 a year for two years. Which project(s) should be accepted if the discount rate is 10 percent
Answer:
Project A should be accepted.
Explanation:
The initial investment of project A = $78000
The initial investment of project B = $78000
The cash inflows of project A = $32000
The time period for project A = 3 years
The cash inflow of project B = $44400
The time period for project B = 2 years.
Interest rate (r ) = 10%
Now find the net present value of both project and then decide which one has to accept.
The net present value of project A:
[tex]=\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n})}{r} - \text{initial investment} \\= \frac{32000(1-(1+0.1)^{-3})}{0.1} - 78000 \\= 79579.26 – 78000 \\= $1579.26[/tex]
The net present value of project B:
[tex]=\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n})}{r} - \text{initial investment} \\= \frac{44400(1-(1+0.1)^{-2})}{0.1} - 78000 \\= - 942.14[/tex]
Project A should be accepted because project B has a negative net present value.

CR Cash $1,760
(To record repair of van)
April 29,
DR Delivery Van $52
CR Cash $52
(To record installation of GPS system in Van)
Explanation:
The transmission being faulty in the Van is part of the depreciation of the van and so when it is fixed, it reduces the depreciation of the van. The amount needs to be debited to the Accumulated Depreciation Account to signal that it is a reduction.
Installing a new GPS in a Van is an additional benefit to the van that will last for a period of more than a year hence it should be capitalised and added to the cost of the Delivery Van.
Suppose that you take $50 in currency out of your pocket and deposit it in your checking account. If the required reserve ratio is 8%, what is the largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of your action?
Answer:
The largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of the action is $625.
Explanation:
This is an example of money multiplier.
Money multiplier refers to the maximum amount of money that commercial bank can create or generate with each dollar of reserves.
Reserves or required reserves refer to the amount of money or portion of deposit that the central bank such as the Federal Reserve requires banks to hold and not lend.
In order to determine the largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of $50 deposit, money multiplier is used to multiply the $50 deposit.
The formula for the money multiplier is given as follows:
Money multiplier = 1/r
Where;
r = required reserve ratio = 8%, or 0.08.
Therefore, we have:
Money multiplier = 1 / 0.08 = 12.50
Largest amount of increase = Amount of deposit * Money multiplier = $50 * 12.50 = $625.
Therefore, the largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of the action is $625.
Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $60, a cost curve of C = 0.004q^3 + 30q + 1000, and a marginal cost of curve of: MC = 0.009q^2 + 25.
a. The firm's profit maximizing output level (to the nearest tenth) is ___units, and the profit (to the nearest penny) at this output level is $____.
b. This will cause the market supply to (shift right/shift left). This will continue until the price is equal to the minimum average cost of $____.
Answer:
a) q = $62.36
b) As the profit level is NEGATIVE ( π = - 99.21 ), this will cause the market supply to shift left. This will continue until the price is equal to the minimum average cost of $60.
Explanation:
Given that; the market price P = $60
The cost curve is C = 0.004q³ + 30q + 1000
The marginal cost of curve of MC = 0.009q² + 25
We know that the condition for the profit maximizing level of output is MC=P
∴ 0.009q² + 25 = 60
0.009q² = 35
q² = 35 / 0.009
q² = 3888.88888
q = √3888.88888
q = $62.36
Now we calculate profit at the equilibrium output
π = TR -TC
π = ( P × Q ) - TC
we know TC = 0.004q³ + 30q + 1000
now we substitute
so π = ( 60 × 62.36 ) - { 0.004(62.36)³ + 30(62.36) + 1000
= 3741.6 - ( 970.01 + 1870.8 + 1000
= 3741.6 - 3840.81
π = - 99.21
As the profit level is NEGATIVE, the supply curve shifts left
Average cost is the cost per unit of output.
Average Cost = TC / q
Average Cost = (0.004q³ + 30q + 1000) / q
Average Cost = 0.004q² + 30 + 1000/q
Now equate the derivative of AC with zero
i.e ΔAC/Δq = 0
Δ/Δd{ 0.004q² + 30 + 1000/q } = 0
0.008q - 1000/q² = 0
0.008q = 1000/q²
0.008q³ = 1000
q³ = 125000
q = ∛125000
q = 50
Average cost at this point will be
AC = 0.004q² + 30 + 1000/q
= 0.004 (50)² + 30 + 1000/50
= 10 + 30 + 20
= $60
As the profit level is NEGATIVE ( π = - 99.21 ), this will cause the market supply to shift left. This will continue until the price is equal to the minimum average cost of $60.
If the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.9, the spending multiplier is _____, the tax multiplier is ______, and the balanced budget multiplier is _______, respectively.
Answer:
If the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.9, the spending multiplier is 10, the tax multiplier is -9, and the balanced budget multiplier is 1, respectively.
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
a) Calculation of spending multiplier
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the spending multiplier as follows:
Spending multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc)
Since mpc = 0.9, we have:
Spending multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc) = 1 / (1 - 0.9) = 1 / 0.1 = 10
b) Calculation of tax multiplier
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the tax multiplier as follows:
Tax multiplier = -mpc / mps
Note that the tax multiplier as given above is negative because increase in tax by the government makes the multiplier to work in reverse since the money is leaving the circular flow.
Since what is not consumed is saved, we have:
mps = 1 - mpc = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1
Therefore,
Tax multiplier = -0.9 / 0.1 = -9
c) Calculation of balanced budget multiplier
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the balanced budget multiplier as follows:
Balanced budget multiplier = Spending multiplier + Tax multiplier = 10 + (-9) = 10 - 9 = 1
Note that balanced budget multiplier is always equal to 1 as obtained above.
Conclusion
Therefore, if the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.9, the spending multiplier is 10, the tax multiplier is -9, and the balanced budget multiplier is 1, respectively.
Suppose Sally borrows $1,000 from Harry for one year and agrees to pay a nominal interest rate of 8%. When she borrows the money, both she and Harry expect an inflation rate of 6%.
1. The expected real interest rate on the loan is_______%.
2. Suppose that when Sally pays back the loan after one year, the actual inflation rate turns out to be 4%. The actual real interest rate on the loan is______%.
3A. If the inflation rate turned out to be higher than expected, then_______.
3B. But if inflation turned out to be lower than expected, then_______.
Answer:
1. 1,89%
2. 3,85%
3A. A Lower real rate will be obtained, and Harry is in worse off position
3A. A Higher real rate will be obtained, and Harry is in better off position
Explanation:
Real Interest Rate is the Nominal Return that has been adjusted with the Inflation rate.
The effect of the inflation is to reduce the value of money over time.
If Inflation rate was 6%
Real Interest Rate = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + Inflation rate) - 1
= ( 1 + 0.08) / ( 1 + 0.06) - 1
= 0.0189 or 1,89%
If Inflation rate was 4%
Real Interest Rate = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + Inflation rate) - 1
= ( 1 + 0.08) / ( 1 + 0.04) - 1
= 0.0385 or 3,85%
Betty Harrington owns a floor covering firm. Her market research is telling her that she is taking business away from the large home improvement stores in her trade area. One thing that Betty is worried about is that the large stores might fight back by lowering their prices, which hurts everyone except the consumer. The day-to-day challenge of firm growth that this example is referring to is:
Answer:
price stability
Explanation:
In this scenario, the day-to-day challenge of firm growth that this example is referring to is price stability. Since the prices of the competing store are being changed (on purpose) Betty Harrington's firm will have a hard time adjusting in order to continue competing with the larger competing store, especially if the larger store lowers the price too much that Betty's store cannot actually lower theirs to that price. Thus ultimately forcing her out of the market.

Answer:
The answer is $34.36
Explanation:
FV = PV x (1 + R x ((1 + r))^T = $22.6 x (1 + {($1.5 / $22.60) x [1 + (18% / 2)]}^6 = $34.36
Many Western European countries are giving monetary incentives to employees who have multiple children. Why would they do this? How would a baby boom change Japan's demographics?
Answer:
The incentive is to encourage more families to have more children.
A baby boom in Japan will ensure that there is enough workforce to maintain the growing economy in the future.
Explanation:
The western countries, especially Europe is battling with population decline, which is estimated to have an economic impact in the future, due to a potential decline in the labor force in the future. To counter this, many of these western nations have crated policies that encourages childbirth by providing incentive for families with multiple children, reducing tax for such families, and even as far as up to 12 to 16 months paid paternity and maternity leave, when a couple has a new baby. Couples are also given government paychecks when they go on childbirth leave.
Japan is one of the countries that has been experiencing a population decline in recent years. The number of death seem to be more than the number of births. The general effect is the fear of a dwindling work force of the future. This will lead to more people retiring later, and there would be a huge pressure on the pension schemes, and the economy as a whole due to this. A population boom will mean that a future workforce is guaranteed, and the retirement age lowered, and the call for dependency on automation due to a shrinking workforce can be reviewed.
Many of the western and developed nations are now giving incentives to those who produce more than one child or multiple children.
As their economy is getting old and is aging hence in order to company the problem of the aging of population monetary incentives are given. The baby boom is a condition related to the growth of babies. Japan is a greying nation that has a negatively declining trend of population. Due to the larger medical aid population is getting older and the birth rate is low. A baby boom may lead to an increase in youth and the young population. More children and more people.Learn more about the Western European countries that are giving monetary incentives.

On Jan 15th, Mr. White discovered that the net income for the previous year was understated by $60,000. Mr. Black tells Mr. White that this net income of $60,000 should be shared in the proportion of their current capital balances. (Mr. White = 150,000/$250,000 = 60% = $36,000; Mr. Black = $100,000/$250,000 = 40% = $24,000). But Mr. White feels that the additional income should be shared in the ratio of 2:1 ($60,000 x 2/3 = $40,000 Mr. White; $60,000 x 1/3 = $20,000 Mr. Black). Who is correct? Why?
Answer:
Mr. Black is correct. There is a basis established by their current capital balances. Mr. White's ratio of 2 : 1 has not discernible basis, unless that has been their profit sharing ratio.
Explanation:
In the absence of any contrary agreement, partners in a partnership business always share their net income based on their capital contributions. Sometimes, this may not be strictly followed, especially with changes effected over the years, it becomes necessary to adopt home-grown solutions. One of such is the current capital balances, instead of the original capital contributions. This approach takes care of changes and value contributions over a number of years that the business has been in operation, which the current capital accounts will always show.
Suppose you run a lawn mowing business. You charge $15 per lawn, you can mow five lawns in an eight hour day, and you work five days a week. You currently have more people asking you to mow their lawns than you can satisfy so you are considering hiring someone to help. Your other option is to rent a riding lawn mower that will enable you to mow seven lawns each day. Your friend Jim, a good worker, will work for $8 per hour and will be able to mow five lawns in an eight hour day also. If you rent a riding mower, it will cost you $100 per week plus $25 for gas and oil.
Required:
What is your best option? Explain why you believe this is your best choice.
Answer:
Option 2
Explanation:
Option 1 If we hire someone to help
Revenue = $15/lawn x 5 lawns per day
Revenue = $75 x 7 days = $525
Total cost = Rate per hour x No. of lawns per day x No, of hours worked
Total cost = $8 x 5 x $8
Total cost = $320 x 7days = 2,240
Profit/Loss = $525- $2,240
Profit/loss = $1,715 loss
Option 2 If we rent a riding mower
Revenue = 7 lawns per day x $15/lawn x 7 days
Revenue = $735
Cost = $100 + $25 for gas and oi
Cost = $125
Profit/loss = $610
The best option would be Option 2 because Firstly it is very much low in cost and provides us a great revenue secondly, it also increases our work efficiency.
2. [5 pts] Consider the following events: Scientists reveal that eating oranges decreases the risk of diabetes, and at the same time, farmers use a new fertilizer that makes orange trees produce more oranges. Illustrate and explain what effect these changes have on the equilibrium price and quantity of oranges.
Answer:
there would be a rise in equilibrium quantity and an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price
Explanation:
as a result of the scientists revelation, the demand for oranges would increase and so would the price.
as a result of the new fertilisers been used, the supply of oranges would rise and price would fall.
taking these two occurrences together, there would be a rise in equilibrium quantity and an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price
Talk to a 55-year-old (or older) business professional nearing retirement. This person can be a family member, friend, or mentor. List and describe the savings, investments, and risk management strategies for this phase of life. Describe how financial planning has changed from the earlier phase of life.
Answer:
The financial planning will differ for the person according to their age. A person who is 50 years older would have money only from his savings. The 55 year old person is retired and would only have money available for living from the saving he had made while he was working. He will not have any other source of income.
Explanation:
The risk management officer should consider the investments by considering his available savings. He should also consider the money required for living as there is no other source of income. The risk appetite for such an old aged individual will be low. He must be risk averse in the situation of retirement. The financial planning strategies changes for the person over the different phases of life. When a person is young and starts the job at age of 25 he might take excessive risks for getting extra returns. He is young and energetic, has ability to work part time along with his routine job to earn extra money.
On November 1, Bahama Cruise Lines borrows $3.5 million and issues a six-month, 9% note payable. Interest is payable at maturity. Record the issuance of the note and the appropriate adjustment for interest expense at December 31, the end of the reporting period.
Answer:
Bahama Cruise Lines
Journal Entries:
November 1:
Debit Cash Account $3,500,000
Credit 9% Notes Payable $3,500,000
To record the issue of a six-month note payable.
December 31:
Debit Interest Expense $52,500
Credit Interest Payable $52,500
To record the interest expense for the period.
Explanation:
a) With Bahama Cruise Lines borrowing $3.5 million on November 1 and issuing a six month, 9% note payable, the accounting entries are a debit to the Cash account for the cash received and a credit to the Note Payable account to establish the liability in the accounts.
b) Bahama Cruise Lines will accrue interest on the Note Payable for 2 months for the ending in order to comply with the accrual concept and the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principle. The accrual basis for accounting for transactions requires that expenses are recognized when incurred and not when cash is paid. The amount of the interest for the year is calculated as $52,500 ($3.5 million * 9%)/12 * 2. This also accords with the matching principle which requires that expenses are matched to the revenues of the same period.
Alpaca Corporation had revenues of $260,000 in its first year of operations. The company has not collected on $19,300 of its sales and still owes $26,300 on $90,000 of merchandise it purchased.

The company paid $4,900 in interest that was the amount owed for the year, and paid $6,000 for a two-year insurance policy on the first day of business. Alpaca has an effective income tax rate of 40%. Compute net income for the first year for Alpaca Corporation.
Answer:
$89,460
Explanation:
The computation of the net income is shown below:
Sales $260,000
Less: Cost of goods sold -$90,000
Gross margin $170,000
Less:
Salaries -$13,000
Insurance payment -$3,000 ($6,000 ÷ 2 years)
Interest -$4,900
profit before tax $149,100
Less: tax expense -$59,640
Net income $89,460
We simply deducted all expenses from the revenues so that the net income could arrive and the same is to be considered
A monopolist has four distinct groups of customers. Group A has an elasticity of demand of 0.2, B has an elasticity of demand of 0.8, C has an elasticity of demand of 1.0, and D has an elasticity of demand of 2.0. The group paying the highest price for the product will be
Answer: Group A
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of demand refers to the sensitivity of quantity demanded given a change in price. In other words, how much will quantity demanded change if price changes. Higher elastcities mean that when prices change, their quantity demanded changes more. For instance, an elasticity of demand of 2 means that when prices rise by 2%, demand will decrease by 4%.
The group that will be paying the most therefore will have to be the group that is least sensitive to paying that high price. That would be Group A. As they are not very sensitive to price changes with an elasticity of 0.2, the Monopoly can increase their price to a higher point than others knowing that they won't demand less goods.
A dry cleaner uses exponential smoothing to forecast equipment usage. The August forecast was 88% and the actual was 89.6%. Use a smoothing constant of 0.1.
A. Prepare a forecast for September.
B. Assuming actual September usuage of 92 %, prepare a forecast for October usage
Answer:
1. 88.16%
2. 88.54%
Explanation:
a. Prepare a forecast for September
Smoothing constant (a) is 0.1
Forecast for August (Ft) is 88%
Actual usage for August (At) is 89.6%
Forecast for September(Ft +1) will therefore be;
Using the formulae
= Ft+a (At-Ft)
= 88% + 0.1(89.6% - 88%)
= 88% + 0.16%
= 88.16%
b. Assuming actual September usage of 92% , prepare a forecast for October usage.
Since we have the following,
Smoothing constant(a) 0.1
Then forecast for September(Ft) is 88.16%
Also, actual usage for September (At) is 92%
Therefore, forecast for October (Ft + 1) will be,
Using the formula
= Ft+a(At - Ft)
= 88.16% + 0.1(92% - 88.16%)
= 88.16% + 0.384%
= 88.54%
