Assuming the price of semiconductors is still $23.00 per semiconductor, consumers now pay the price of $_____per semiconductor. Based on the calculations and the scenarios presented, the Uruguay Round most likely_____in Brazil and______in the United States.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Suppose that Brazil imports semiconductors from the United States. The free market price is $23.00 per semiconductor. If the tariff on imports in Brazil is initially 12%, Brazilians pay $25.76 per semiconductor.

= 23 * ( 1 + 12%) = $‭25.76‬

One of the accomplishments of the Uruguay Round that took place between 1986 and 1993 was significant across-the-board tariff cuts for industrial countries, as well as many developing countries.

Suppose that as a result of the Uruguay Round, Brazil reduces its import tariffs to 6%.

Assuming the price of semiconductors is still $23.00 per semiconductor, consumers now pay the price of $24.38 per semiconductor.

= 23 * ( 1 + 6%) = $‭24.38‬

Based on the calculations and the scenarios presented, the Uruguay Round most likely hurts Producers in Brazil and benefits producers in the United States.

The Uruguay Round reduced the tariff and made the semiconductor cheaper for Brazilians which means they will now import more. This will benefit producers in the US who will now be able to sell more but will hurt producers in Brazil who will sell less if their prices are higher than $24.38.

If the amount of credit is 300,000 how much is the discount if the debtor is given a credit term of 2/10 N/30?show your

Answers

Answer:

6,000

Explanation:

In credit sales, 2/10 Net 30 means that the seller has offered the customer a trade discount.  2/10 net 30 is a conditional discount available if payment is made in 10 days. It's a 2% discount should the customer pay in 10 days, if not so, the full amount is due within 30 days.

The discount amount for 300,000 is 2 percent of 300,000.

=2/100 x 300,000

=0.02 x 300,000

=6,000

Bramble Corp. sells MP3 players for $60 each. Variable costs are $30 per unit, and fixed costs total $120000. How many MP3 players must Bramble sell to earn net income of $300000?

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point in units=  14,000 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $60

Variable costs are $30 per unit

Fixed costs total $120,000.

Desired profit= $300,000

To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (120,000 + 300,000) / 30

Break-even point in units=  14,000 units

What income, gains, losses, and deductions does Amy report on her income tax return?

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Share of ordinary income:

= (Ordinary income - Wages - Depreciation)/2

= (900,000 - 200,000 - 300,000)/2

= 400,000/2

= 200,000

Share of net short term capital gain

= (12,000 - 6,000) × 50%

= 6,000 × 0.5

= 3,000

Share of interest income

= 4000 × 50%

= 4000 × 0.5

= 2000

Share of charitable contribution deduction

= 4000 × 50%

= 4000 × 0.5

= 2000

James Dodgsen is a student in a graduate course in business. The professor in the course has given Dodgsen and his classmates a surprise quiz in class. Dodgsen did not do the reading for class that day because he had been grading papers as part of his TA position. He has been prepared for every other class that semester. As he glances as the quiz questions, he realizes that he does not know any of the answers. However, he sees that Jane Frampton, the student who sits next to him, is well prepared and answering the questions with great ease. He can see her answers because of her large, block-style printing. Dodgsen copies her answers.

a. Dodgsen is justified in using the answers because the pop quiz was unfair.
b. Dodgsen is justified in using the answers because he was fulfilling his TA responsibilities instead of preparing for class.
c. Dodgsen is justified in using the answers if he intends to read the material eventually.
d. Dodgsen has been dishonest.

Answer:

d. Dodgsen has been dishonest.

Explanation:

Looking at the scenario in the question above, it is possible to say that James Dodgsen was dishonest in copying Jane's responses.

This question leads us to the conclusion that Dodgen's schedule lacked organization. As much as he was prepared for the other classes and having just coincided with a surprise test when he couldn't find time to study the content of that class specifically, there is a problem looking at his classmate's answers when the test given by the teacher was individual guidance.

The organization of the agenda is essential for a student of business administration, since the corporate environment consists of the functions of organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling, therefore there must be established times for each task of daily fulfillment, whether in a personal or professional environment. , so that there is a greater possibility of fulfilling the essential tasks and the established objectives are properly achieved

Financial Assertions and Audit Objectives. You are engaged to examine the financial statements of Spillane Company for the year ended December 31. Assume that on November 1, Spillane borrowed $500,000 from Second National Bank to finance plant expansion. The long-term note agreement provided for the annual payment of principal and interest over five years. The existing plant was pledged as security for the loan. Due to the unexpected difficulties in acquiring the building site, the plant expansion did not begin on time. To use the borrowed funds, management decided to invest in stocks and bonds and on November 16, invested the $500,000 in publicly traded securities
Required:

Answers

Answer:

Assertion 1) Existence or occurrence: the company must provide the loan documents along with proof that they actually purchased the stocks and bonds using the loan money. It would also help to have a document explaining why the building site couldn't be acquired as planned.

Assertion 2) Rights and obligations: all the legal paperwork regarding the loan, the mortgage on the existing plant and the stocks and bond paperwork must be presented.

Assertion 3) Completeness: all the relevant information must be readily available including building titles, inventories, equipment, cash receipts, etc. The auditor should be allowed to physically visit the plant and confirm the documents.

Assertion 4) Valuation and allocation: information regarding the current market values of the building, inventories and equipment should be given. The auditor should be able to confirm if the depreciation values and market values are consistent. Also, the auditor must have access to accounts receivables and should be able to analyze them to check for any inconsistencies.

Assertion 5) Presentation and disclosure: the auditor should be able to check expense accounts and capitalization accounts, and analyze them. E.g. equipment or machinery repairs must be treated as expenses and not capitalized.

Part A (5 points). What is the asset beta of Lightning Bolt Bikes?

Part B (5 points). What is your unlevered cost of equity?

Part C (5 points). What is your firm’s equity beta?

Part D (10 points). What is your firm’s weighted average cost of capital?

Part E (5 points). What is the NPV of your proposed bicycle company using the WACC method?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. Asset beta measures company's risk or volatility of return in assets without the effect of leverage financing or debt.

Asset beta= Equity beta / 1+(1-tax rate) *debt / equity

2. Unlevered cost of equity measures the returns on assets without the effect of debt

Unlevered cost of equity = Risk free return + Asset Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free return)

3. Equity beta measures security prices' volatility to change in the market

4. Weighted average cost of capital is the weighted average cost or average cost of all capital sources employed by the company in financing it's assets

Weighted Average cost of capital = Cost of Equity * proportion of equity + Cost of debt after tax rate * proportion of debt

Expected return in CAPM= Risk free return +asset beta *market return -risk free return

Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department:

Units:

Beginning Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.
Units started and completed: 120,000.
Units completed and transferred out: 150,000.
Ending Inventory: 32,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion.

Costs:
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $48,000.
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $53,850.
Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $328,050.
Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $604,150.

Required:
Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.

Answers

Answer:

Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2.06

Explanation:

Total cost of material=  Cost of material in beginning WIP +  Cost of material incurred in February  

= $48,000 + $328,050

= $376,050

Equivalent units =  Number of units completed and transferred+  Ending inventory

= 150,000 units + 32,500 units

= 182,500 units

Cost per equivalent unit of material =  Total cost of direct material  / Equivalent units

= $376,050 / 182,500 units

= $2.06

When a famous painting becomes available for sale, it is often known which museum or collector will be the likely winner. Yet, the auctioneer actively woos representatives of other museums that have no chance of winning to attend anyway.

Suppose a piece of art has recently become available for sale and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with the winner paying an amount equal to the second highest bid. Assume that most collectors know that Janet places a value of $125,000 on the art piece and that she values this art piece more than any other collector. Suppose that if no one else shows up, Janet simply bids $125,000/2 = $5,000 and wins the piece of art.

The expected price paid by Kenji, with no other bidders present, is $:_________
Suppose the owner Of the artwork manages to recruit another bidder, Manuel, to the auction. Manuel is known to value the art piece at $8,000.

Answer and Explanation:

1. If there are no other bidders present as from question them we can conclude that Kenji would buy the art piece for $5000. See question

2. If there is a bidder present in the name of Manuel who would bid for $8000 then Kenji would bid at $8000 and win the bid for the art piece. See question. Kenji would bid at price of 2nd highest bidder to win the bid for art piece

University Printers has two service departments Maintenance and Personnel and two operating departments Printing and Developing. Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each.
The following data appear in the company records for the current period:
Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Machine-hours ? 455 455 2,590
Labor-hours 315 ? 294 1,491
Department direct cost 11,000 $23,000 $25,000 $23,000

A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company’s strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company’s performance to that of its competitors, or to its past or expected future performance. Such insight helps managers and analysts improve their decision making. Most decision makers and analysts use five groups of ratios to examine the different aspects of a company’s performance. Indicate whether each of the following statements regarding financial ratios are true or false?
a. The ratios provide an accurate and thorough representation of the Chinese company’s performance.b. The analysis likely includes incorrect and misleading conclusions.

Answers

Answer:

a. False

b. True

Explanation:

Ratio analysis is a very useful method of analyzing a company however it is not necessarily very in-depth. If a company seems to be performing below the industrial average, it would be prudent to check the reasons why the company is doing so.

The advantage of ratio analysis in this instance is that it would help point you in the right direction to know what accounts to analyze more intensely to find out why the Chinese company is not performing up to standard.

Ratio analysis are good but they do not always provide an accurate and thorough representation of a company’s performance therefore relying solely on ratios will lead to an analysis that likely includes incorrect and misleading conclusions.

b. Suppose that your monthly net income is $2,850. Your monthly debt payments include your student loan payment and a gas credit card. They total $1,140. What is your debt payments-to-income ratio?

Answers

Answer:

1. Kim:

Debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan

= 23%

2. Carl:

Percentage spent on home and car

= 65.3%

3. Debt payment to income ratio

= 40%

Explanation:

Kim's Data and Calculations:

Gross income = $1,760

Income taxes         -199

After Tax Income $1,561 per month

Credit card debts = $189 per month

School loan = $172 per month

Total Debt payments = $361

Debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan

= $361/$1,561 = 23%

Carl:

House payment = $1,640

Car payment = $482

Total payments = $2,122

Take-home pay = $3,250

Percentage spent on home and car = 65.3% ($2,122/$3,250 * 100)

3. My monthly net income = $2,850

Monthly debt payments = $1,140

Debt payment to income ratio

= $1,140/$2,850 * 100

= 0.4

= 40%

The rate of return on the common stock of Flowers by Flo is expected to be 14 percent in a boom economy, 8 percent in a normal economy, and only 2 percent in a recessionary economy. The probabilities of these economic states are 20 percent for a boom, 70 percent for a normal economy, and 10 percent for a recession. What is the variance of the returns

Answers

Answer:

the variance is 0.001044

Explanation:

The computation of the variance of the returns is shown below:

But before that expected return to be determined

E(r) = Sum of (probabilities × expected return)

 = 0.20 × .14 + 0.70 × 0.08 + 0.10 × 0.02

= 0.086

Now

variance = Sum of (individual return - mean return)^2

= 0.20 × (0.14  -0.086)^2  + 0.7 × (0.08 - 0.086)^2 + 0.10 × (0.02 - 0.086)^2

= 0.001044

hence the variance is 0.001044

Pooling has been used for a long time by businesses as a way to reduce risk. Imagine that years ago a small paint factory employed 200 people, each with an annual salary of $600/year. The factory owner knew from experience that 4 percent of workers were being injured each year, becoming unable to work. The factory owner decided to set up a fund to pay injured workers three months of salary to help their families and build good will with employees. The owner did not contribute to the injury fund. The workers themselves contributed a fixed amount each year to fund the plan. Answer the following questions (1 point each):_____.
1. How much did the owner need to collect from employees in total to fully fund the plan each year?
2. How much did each employee have to contribute each year to fully fund the plan?
3. What percentage of salary did each employee contribute to have an injury fund like this?

Answers

Answer:

1. Amount required to fund the plan = % of injured*Total employees* Annual salary

Amount required to fund the plan = 4%*200 people* $600

Amount required to fund the plan = $4800

2. Amount contributed by each employee = Amount required to fund the plan / Number of employees

Amount contributed by each employee = $4800/200

Amount contributed by each employee = $24

3. Percentage of salary = Amount contributed by each employee / Salary

Percentage of salary = 24/600

Percentage of salary =  0.04

Percentage of salary = 4%
