Answer:
46.74%
Explanation:
The computation of the dividend payout ratio is shown below:
The DIvidend payout ratio is
= Dividend ÷ net income required
where,
Dividend is $350,000
And, the net income is
= $725,000 × 55% + $350,000
= $748,750
So the dividend payout ratio is
= $350,000 ÷ $748,750
= 46.74%
We simply applied the above formula so that the dividend payout ratio could come

Suppose the Finnish government undertakes a program that relaxes immigration but only for highly skilled workers. This policy changes will result in an increase in the ________, causing _______.
Answer:
Suppose the Finnish government undertakes a program that relaxes immigration but only for highly skilled workers. This policy changes will result in an increase in the _population of immigrants_______, causing __increased economic performance resulting from increased supply of highly skilled labor, productivity, and GDP and not to forget increased diversity with its attendant benefits and costs_____.
Explanation:
Immigration is the movement of non-natives or citizens into a country from other countries. If the number of immigrants outnumber those emigrating, the population of the country will increase relatively. To boast population, increase diversity, and energize an economy, some countries deliberately embark on programed immigration and acceptance of highly skilled workers. As they come in, they come with their families, some will bear more children, and there will be increased relationships between the immigrants and the domiciled citizen population. The economy of the country will be revitalized since they are highly skilled workers, and there will be increased productivity and beneficial changes in the GDP. Human diversity has many attendant benefits and burdens. Whichever one that outweighs the other depends on factors prevalent in the particular country.
You are trying to decide how much to save for retirement. Assume you plan to save $ 6,500 per year with the first investment made one year from now. You think you can earn 6.5% per year on your investments and you plan to retire in 42 years, immediately after making your last $6,500 investment.
Required:
a. How much will you have in your retirement account on the day you retire?
b. If, instead of investing $ 6,500 per year, you wanted to make one lump-sum investment today for your retirement that will result in the same retirement saving, how much would that lump sum need to be?
c. If you hope to live for 26 years in retirement, how much can you withdraw every year in retirement (starting one year after retirement) so that you will just exhaust your savings with the 26th withdrawal (assume your savings will continue to earn 11.0% in retirement)?
Answer:
a. How much will you have in your retirement account on the day you retire?
we must calculate the future value of an annuity:
future value = annuity payment x {[(1 + r)ⁿ - 1] / r} = $6,500 x {[(1 + 0.065)⁴² - 1] / 0.065} = $1,308,262.21
b. If, instead of investing $ 6,500 per year, you wanted to make one lump-sum investment today for your retirement that will result in the same retirement saving, how much would that lump sum need to be?
future value of lump sum = lump sum x (1 + r)ⁿ
$1,308,262.21 = lump sum x (1 + 0.065)⁴²
lump sum = $1,308,262.21 / (1 + 0.065)⁴² = $1,308,262.21 / 14.08262214 = $92,899.05
c. If you hope to live for 26 years in retirement, how much can you withdraw every year in retirement (starting one year after retirement) so that you will just exhaust your savings with the 26th withdrawal (assume your savings will continue to earn 11.0% in retirement)?
present value of an annuity = annuity payment x {[1 - 1/(1 + r)ⁿ ] / r}
annuity payment = $1,308,262.21 / {[1 - 1/(1 + r)ⁿ ] / r} = $1,308,262.21 / {[1 - 1/(1 + 0.11)²⁶ ] / 0.11} = $1,308,262.21 / 8.48806 = $154,129.74

A hedge fund charges an incentive fee of 10% of any investment returns above the T-bill rate, which currently is 1.0% but is subject to a high water mark. In the first year, the fund suffers a loss of 5.5%. What rate of return must it earn in the second year to be eligible for an incentive fee
Answer:
7.94%
Explanation:
From the given information; Let's assume that the initial fund value at the beginning of the year is $500.
And ; The loss for the first year will be ; $500 × 5.5 % = $27.5
Also The T-bill (treasury bill) will be = $500 × 1.0 % = $5
Similarly , the opening capital for the following second year will be: = ($500 - $27.5)
= $472.5.
Thus; for the second year, the hedge fund manager must invest this $472.5 and he must earn higher than the illustrated required rate of return below in order to be eligible for an free incentive:
Minimum required rate of return = ($27.5 + $5 + $5 )/$472.5 = 0.07936
Minimum required rate of return = 0.0794/100
Minimum required rate of return = 7.94 %
Therefore, for the hedge fund to be eligible for an incentive fee, he must earn more than 7.94%
Bloom Company management predicts that it will incur fixed costs of $259,000 and earn pretax income of $493,100 in the next period. Its expected contribution margin ratio is 69%.
Required:1. Compute the amount of total dollar sales.2. Compute the amount of total variable costs.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $259,000
Pretax income= $493,100
Contribution margin ratio= 0.69
The contribution margin ratio is the percentage of sales remaining after deducting all variable components.
First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= pretax income + fixed costs
Total contribution margin= 493,100 + 259,000= $752,100
Now, total sales:
Total sales= total contribution margin/contribution margin ratio
Total sales= 752,100/0.69= $1,090,000
Finally, total variable costs:
Total variable costs= total sales - total contribution margin
Total variable costs= 1,090,000 - 752,100= $337,900
White Company has two departments, Cutting and Finishing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each department. The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours, and the Finishing Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Department
Cutting Finishing
Direct labor-hours 7,700 43,000
Machine-hours 43,400 1,900
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $390,000 $496,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour 2.00
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $3.75
Required:
1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for each department.
2. The job cost sheet for Job 203, which was started and completed during the year, showed the following:
Department
Cutting Finishing
Direct labor-hours 3 13
Machine-hours 43 4
Direct materials 745 370
Direct labor costs 43 210
Using the pre-determined overhead rates that you computed in requirement 1, compute the total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Job 203.
3. Wouid you expect substantially different amounts of overhead cost to be assigned to some jobs if the company used a plantwide pre-determined overhead rate, based on direct labor hours rather than using departmental rates?
Answer:
1. Cutting Department = $8.99 per machine hour and Finishing Department = $11.53 per direct labor hour.
2. The total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Job 203 is $2,058.46.
3. Yes. Plant wide pre-determined overhead rate does not consider the cost driver in the departments involved.
Explanation:
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity
Cutting Department = $390,000 / 43,400
= $8.99 per machine hour
Finishing Department = $496,000 / 43,000
= $11.53 per direct labor hour
Total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Job 203.
Direct materials
Cutting Department $ 745.00
Finishing Department $ 370 .00
Direct labor costs
Cutting Department $ 43.00
Finishing Department $ 210.00
Variable manufacturing overhead
Cutting Department ($2.00 × 43) $86.00
Finishing Department ($2.00 × 4) $8.00
Variable manufacturing overhead
Cutting Department ($3.75 × 3) $11.25
Finishing Department ($3.75 × 13) $48.75
Fixed manufacturing overhead
Cutting Department ($8.99 × 43) $386.57
Finishing Department ($11.53 × 13) $149.89
Total $2,058.46
A customer has an individual cash account, an individual margin account, a joint cash account with his wife, and a custodial account for each of his 2 children. If the firm liquidates, Securities Investor Protection Corporation covers:
Answer:
Each account separately.
Explanation:
Securities Investor Protection Corporation coverage is applied "PER CUSTOMER NAME."
Therefore, if a customer has an individual cash account and individual margin account, that is considered as one name; the joint margin account with his wife is a second name; the custodian account for each of the two children is third name; and fourth name respectively.
Hence, If the firm liquidates, Securities Investor Protection Corporation covers four accounts.
Bramble Corp. uses job order costing for its brand new line of sewing machines. The cost incurred for production during 2019 totaled $23000 of materials, $15000 of direct labor costs, and $14000 of manufacturing overhead applied. The company ships all goods as soon as they are completed which results in no finished goods inventory on hand at the end of any year. Beginning work in process totaled $20000, and the ending balance is $14000. During the year, the company completed 25 machines. How much is the cost per machine?
Answer:
the cost per machine is $2,320.
Explanation:
Prepare a Manufacturing Schedule to determine the Cost of Goods Manufactured.

Less Closing work in process ($14,000)
Total Cost of Machines Manufactured $58,000
Therefore,
Cost per machine = Total Cost / Number of Machines completed
= $58,000 / 25 machines
= $2,320
If a check that was outstanding on last period's bank reconciliation was not among the cancelled checks returned by the bank this period, in preparing this period's reconciliation, the amount of this check should be: g
Answer:
If the outstanding check was not cancelled by the bank yet, then it must be subtracted from the bank account balance when you are preparing a reconciliation of the bank account.
The person or business that received the check will eventually cash it out, so there is no reason why you should consider that money in your bank account as yours. checks are basically cash payments that may or may not be delayed. Checks last 6 months before they expire, so there is still a lot of time for the person or business to cash it.
Answer:
Explanation:
The check is still outstanding (still not subtracted by bank) so add it to the book balance to obtain the bank balance.

"An 8% corporate bond with 20 years left to maturity is currently trading at 120. The bond is callable in 4 years at 104. If a client buys the bond and then the issuer calls it in 4 years, the yield to call will be:"
Answer:
The yield to call will be 6%.
Explanation:
Yield to call (YTC) refers to the return a bondholder will receive in the event that he holds the bond until the call date which is sometime before the maturity date.
The YTC can be calculated using the following formula:
YTC = (C + (CP - P) / t) / ((CP + P) / 2) .......................... (1)
Where:
YTC = YTW = yield to call or yield to worst = ?
C = Annual coupon interest payment = Bond interest rate * Bond face value = 8% * $100 = $8.00
CP = Callable price of the bond = $104
P = Current price of the bond = $120
t = time in years remaining until the call date = 20 - 4 = 16 years
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTC = ($8 + ($104 - $120) / 16) / (($104 + $120) / 2)
YTC = $7 / $112 = 0.06, or 6%.
Therefore, the yield to call will be 6%.

Christina will receive annuity payments of $1,200 a year for five years, with the first payment occurring at Year 4. What is the value of this annuity to her today at a discount rate of 7.25 percent
Answer:
The annuity is worth $3,693.99 today.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $1,200
Number of years= 5
Waiting years= 4
Discount rate= 7.25%
First, we will determine the future value:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {1,200*[(1.0725^5) - 1]} / 0.0725
FV= $6,935.40
Now, we can calculate the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n

When an HRM professional utilizes SWOT analysis, and strategic thinking about external and internal competitive issues impacting the company, including political, economic, market, social, geographic, and technological trends, this is called:
Answer:
Environmental scanning.
Explanation:
When an HRM professional utilizes SWOT analysis, and strategic thinking about external and internal competitive issues impacting the company, including political, economic, market, social, geographic, and technological trends, this is called environmental scanning.
Environmental scanning can be defined as a management strategy that focuses on systematically acquiring informations about occasions, trends, events or patterns through surveys and analysis of these information in an organisation's external and internal environment.
This simply means that, if an organization wants to succeed and remain competitive in the industry, it is necessary and utterly important that it regularly scans its environment so that it can assess its growth or developments and understand critical factors which contributed to its success.
Hence, the environmental scanning is classified into two (2) main categories and these are;
1. Internal environmental scanning: it is made up of essential elements or components that lie within an organization such as objectives, culture, value systems, mission, vision, goals, organizational structure, employees etc.
2. External environmental scanning: it is made up of essential elements or components that outside of an organization such as customers, market, rivals, politics, economic policies, demography etc.
Generally, the internal environmental scanning offers an organization Strength and Weakness while the external environmental scanning provides information about Opportunities and Threats. These four influencing environmental factors are known as the SWOT analysis (strength, weakness, opportunity and threats).
With the aforementioned four environmental factors, an organization is able to make strategic business decisions by identifying available opportunities and threats affecting the business, as well as used is strengths and improve on its weaknesses.

A firm issues six-month commercial paper with $500,000 face value and receives $488,000. What is the EAR the firm is paying for these funds? Group of answer choices
Answer:
5.03%
Explanation:
In order to compute the effective annual rate on the commercial paper,we need to first of all establish the interest rate in the six-month instrument
interest=($500,000-$488,000)/$488,000=2.46%
Effective annual rate=(1+2.46% /6)^12-1
By dividing by six, we are reducing the rate to monthly terms
By raising to the power of 12 we are converting from a monthly rate to yearly rate
Effective annual rate=5.03%
There are several ways that governments can increase or decrease the money supply. Match the descriptions below with the corresponding policy tool. It is possible that a description does not apply to any of the terms.
1. Open Market Operations
2. Reserve Requirement
3. Discount Rate
4. Quantitative Easing
A. A government printing more currency.
B. An increase in government spending.
C. An increase in the interest rate that a central bank charges commercial banks for loans.
D. A central bank purchasing existing bonds.
E. An increase in the percentage of deposits that banks must keep on hand.
F. A central bank purchasing a large quantity of longer-term Treasury bonds.
Answer:
1. Open Market Operations - A central bank purchasing existing bonds.
When the central bank purchases existing bonds, this is an expansionary monetary policy because by buying bonds they are putting money back into people's hands by paying them for the bonds.
2. Reserve Requirement - An increase in the percentage of deposits that banks must keep on hand.
When the Central bank increases the reserve requirement, it means that banks should keep a larger percentage of deposits kept with them. This is a contractionary Monetary Policy because the banks will have less money to loan out to the public.
3. Discount Rate - An increase in the interest rate that a central bank charges commercial banks for loans.
The Central bank loans money to commercial banks using the discount rate. Should they increase this rate, banks would find it more expensive to borrow from them and reduce borrowing. This means that they would then not have a lot of money to loan out making this a contractionary monetary policy.
4. Quantitative Easing - A central bank purchasing a large quantity of longer-term Treasury bonds.
Quantitative Easing refers to the Government buying a large quantity of longer-term treasury bonds to increase money supply so that rates would fall and people can borrow more money to boost the economy. This policy is not usually done and indeed is considered unconventional.
The representative firm's total revenue (TR) for selling the profit-maximizing level of output is
Answer: $787.50
Explanation:
Firms maximise their profit levels at the point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point any increase in Cost will not bring about more additional revenue.
The point where MR = MC is point A where sales are 225 units and price is $3.50.
The Total Revenue = Price * Quantity
= 225 * 3.50
= $787.50
The Bridal Gift Shop, Inc. has 11 units in ending merchandise inventory on December 31. The units were purchased in November for $150 each.
