The Fed has decided to expand the money supply, leading to lower interest rates. As the CEO of an energy company, you react to these lower interest rates by deciding to expand your operations and construct a new pipeline across the state of Virginia. What impacts would this decision have on the macroeconomy

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer are:

1. Raising Gross Domestic Product(GDP)

2. Reducing unemployment

C. increasing the investment part of GDP

Explanation:

The impacts would be the following:

1. Raising Gross Domestic Product(GDP): Gross Domestic Product(GDP) is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a specific period (usually a year). By deciding to expand your operations and construct a new pipeline across the state of Virginia, the CEO is adding to the country's GDP

2. Reducing unemployment: Expanding operations and construct a new pipeline across the state of Virginia, the CEO will create new employments because more hands will be needed for the expansion.

C. increasing the investment part of GDP. The components of GDP are Consumers' consumption, firms' investment, government expenditure, exports and imports. The expansion and the new investment (construction new pipeline) will increase the firms' investment component or variable.

c) Average cost of goods = Cost of goods available for sale/Quantity of goods available for sale = $343,640/275 = $1,249.60

d) Under the periodic inventory system:

1) FIFO assumes that the goods bought first are sold first.

2) LIFO assumes that the goods bought last are sold first

3) Weighted Average takes for granted that the cost of goods available for sale and inventory can be determined with the weighted average.  

Using the period inventory system, it is when physical count is taken of inventory that one can estimate its value.  Unlike the perpetual inventory system, the periodic inventory system waits till a financial period ends to value stock.  The results for ending inventory under the weighted average method, using the perpetual inventory system differs from the results under the same method, using the periodic inventory system.

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price $1,080,000, and it would cost another $22,500 to install it. The machine falls into MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $605,000. The MACRS rates for 3 years are 0.333, 0.4445, 0.1481. The machine wold require an increase in the net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would no change revenues, but is expected to save the firm $380,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 35%.a.

Answers

Answer:

a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?

= $1,102,500 + $15,500 = $1,118,000

b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, 3?

c. What is the additional Year 3-cash flow (i.e. after tax salvage and the return of working capital)?

$355,433.10

d. If the project's cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?

NPV = $20,384.22 since it is positive, then the project should be carried out and the machine should be purchased.

Explanation:

book value of the robotic sprayer = $1,080,000 + $22,500 = $1,102,500

useful life 3 years, salvage value $605,000

MACRS 3-year class:

0.333 x $1,102,500 = $367,132.50

0.4445 x $1,102,500 = $490,061.25

0.1481 x $1,102,500 = $163,280.25

requires an additional $15,500 investment in inventory

saves $380,000 per year

marginal tax rate 35%

net cash flow year 1 = [net savings x (1 - tax rate)] + (depreciation expense x tax rate) = ($380,000 x 65%) + ($367,132.50 x 35%) = $247,000 + $128,496.38 = $375,496.38

net cash flow year 2 = [net savings x (1 - tax rate)] + (depreciation expense x tax rate) = ($380,000 x 65%) + ($490,061.25 x 35%) = $247,000 + $171,521.44 = $418,521.44

net cash flow year 3 = [net savings x (1 - tax rate)] + (depreciation expense x tax rate) = ($380,000 x 65%) + ($163,280.25 x 35%) = $247,000 + $57,148.09 = $304,148.09

terminal cash flow = [sales price - (purchase cost - accumulated depreciation)] x (1 - tax rate) + recovered net working capital = [$605,000 - ($1,102,500 - $1,020,474)] x 0.65 + $15,500 = $355,433.10  

using an excel spreadsheet I calculated the NPV:

Year 0 -$1,118,000

Year 1 $375,496.38

Year 2 $418,521.44

Year 3 $304,148.09 + $355,433.10 = $659,581.19

Your uncle is about to retire, and he wants to buy an annuity that will provide him with $75,000 of income a year for 20 years, with the first payment coming immediately. The going rate on such annuities is 5.25%. How much would it cost him to buy the annuity today

Answers

Answer:

The annuity will cost him $963,212.95.-

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $75,000

Interest rate= 0.0525

n= 20

First, we need to calculate the final value. We will use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}

A= annual cash flow

FV= {75,000*[(1.0525^20) - 1]/0.0525} + {[75,000*(1.0525^20)] - 75,000}

FV= 2,546,491.88 + 133,690.82= $2,680,182.70

Now, the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 2,680,182.70/(1.0525^20)

PV= $963,212.95

2. Investment
3. Government Purchases
4. Net Exports

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

As we know that

Gross domestic product = Consumption + Investment + Government purchase + Net exports

where,

Net exports = Exports - imports

a. Uncle Paul pays a domestic contractor to have his house renovated.  = Consumption

b. Aunt Jane buys a new house from a nearby building firm.  = Investment

c. You buy chocolate from Belgium in a box.  = Consumption & net exports

d. Ford is making a Focus and marketing it to Avis, the car rental company.  = Investment

To fix a leak in your bathroom you pay a domestic plumber.  = Consumption

e. Ford is selling a Mustang to the Martinez family from its inventory.  = Consumption and investment

f. California is hiring people to repave Highway 101.  = Government purchase

g. The Federal government is sending a Social Security check to your grandmother. The same is not involved in GDP as it has transfer payment

According to the conditions, Uncle Paul pays a domestic contractor for renovating his home - Consumption. Thus, the correct transactions that affect a-1, b-2, c-1&4, d-2, e-1, f-1&2, g-3, h-No affect.

Utilizing resources to fulfill present needs and desires is referred to as consumption. In contrast, investing is making purchases in order to generate future revenue.

An asset is considered an investment if it is bought or invested in with the intention of increasing financial security and preserving hard-earned income.

Government purchases are things that the federal, state, and municipal governments spend money on.

The difference between a country's exports and imports in dollars over a specific time period is known as net exports.

Therefore, the following transactions with their effect are as follows:

a-1, b-2, c-1&4, d-2, e-1, f-1&2, g-3, h-No affect.

Rafael has decided to retire once he has $1,000,000 in his retirement account. At the end of each year, he will contribute $7,000 to the account, which is expected to provide an annual return of 6.2%. How many years will it take until he can retire

Answers

Answer:

38 years

Explanation:

in order to determine the amount of years that it will take Rafael to retire, we can use the future value annuity formula:

future value = payment x annuity factor

we know:

future value = $1,000,000payment = $7,000

annuity factor = $1,000,000 / $7,000 = 142.8571

the formula to calculate an annuity factor = [(1 + r)ⁿ - 1] / r

142.8571 = [(1 + 0.062)ⁿ - 1] / 0.062

8.8571 = (1.062)ⁿ - 1

9.8571 = (1.062)ⁿ

using a scientific calculator, we can determine the value of n = 38.0389491 years ≈ 38 years

Answers

Answer:

Without cafeteria plan Karen taxable income is 2250 dollars and with cafeteria plan the taxable income is $2135.

Without cafeteria plan Katie taxable income is 2075 dollars and with cafeteria plan the taxable income is $1960.

Explanation:

A married women Karen earns = $2250

Katie single women earn = $2075

Employee contribution to health care = $115

If the Karen decline to participate in the cafeteria then her taxable income is $2250 (wages).

If the Karen accept to participate in the cafeteria then her taxable income is $2250 - $115 (contribution) = $2135

If Katie declined to participate in the cafeteria then her taxable income is $2075 (wages).

If Katie accept to participate in the cafeteria then her taxable income is $2075 - $115 (contribution) = $1960

Taxes (24%)
Net Income

a. Calculate the OCF. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?

Answers

Answer:

a. $205,236

b. $24,888

Explanation:

a. The computation of OCF is shown below:-

EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation

= $668,600 - $431,300 - $103,700

= $133,600

Net income = EBIT - Taxes

= $133,600 - ($133,600 × 24%)

= $133,600 - $32,064

= $101,536

Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation

= $133,600 - $32,064 + $103,700

= $205,236

b. The computation of depreciation tax shield is shown below:-

Depreciation tax shield = Depreciation × Tax

= $103,700 × 24%

= $24,888

Answers

Answer:

The required return for the new project is 6.87%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the required return for the new project we would have to calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) adjusted by risk adjustment factor .

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]

After -tax Cost of Debt = 3.40%

Cost of Equity = 10.80%

Weight of Debt = 0.39

Weight of Equity = 0.69

Therefore, the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]

= [3.40% x 0.39] + [10.80% x 0.69]

= 1.32% + 7.45%

= 8.77%

The required return for the new project = Weighted Average Cost of Capital – Risk Adjustment Factor

= 8.77% - 1.90%

= 6.87%

The required return for the new project is 6.87%

Direct Labor ($ 1,900 × 52 units)                                         = $98,800

Manufacturing Overheads ($25 × 95 hours × 52 units)    = $123,500

Total Cost                                                                              =$367,900

Then determine the Profit

Sales ($9,200 × 52 units)  =   $478,400

Less Cost of manufacture  = ($367,900)

Net Income / (Loss)             =  $110,500

Conclusion :

Calculate the profit earned on 52 units is $110,500

Decision Making Mystic Bottling Company bottles popular beverages in the Bottling Department. The beverages are produced by blending concentrate with water and sugar. The concentrate is purchased from a concentrate producer. The concentrate producer sets higher prices for the more popular concentrate flavors. A simplified Bottling Department cost of production report separating the cost of bottling the four flavors follows:

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

As per the scenario the solution of cost per case for each of the four flavors is shown below:-

Particulars                 Orange      Cola        Lemon Lime     Root Beer

Total Cost

transferred to

finished goods a        $19,125     $391,800  $324,000        $36,000

Number of cases b      2,500        60,000    50,000              4,000

Cost Per Case               $7.65         $6.53        $6.48               $9

(c = a ÷ b)

Therefore we divide the total cost transferred to finished out by number of cases to figure out the cost per case.

You work for a marketing agency advising a client considering whether to drop prices during an economic downturn. The client, a manufacturer of children's outdoor swing sets, believes that reducing prices would lead to more sales. The client is aware that lower prices would yield less revenue per sale. However, the client is unaware of any other possible negative consequences of dropping prices.
1. Advise the client of some of those possible consequences. Include a description of the psychological issues at play in dropping a brand's price.
2. Identify and evaluate price-adjustment strategies beyond a straightforward reduction in retail price that the client should consider.

Answers

Explanation:

1- One of the pieces of advice I could give the customer about lowering the balance sheet price is that this could generate different interpretations for the potential consumer, as there may be a perception that the price reduction of the product occurred due to the loss of product quality in relation to competing products.

2- There are other effective strategies for managing an economic crisis in addition to a direct reduction in the retail price, such as the psychological price strategy, which are the marketing techniques used by salespeople so that consumers respond emotionally to the product, and not a logical way, which generates a perception of greater benefit for the consumer, which can lead to increased sales without having to lower the price of the product.

Consider the demand for Russian rublesRussian rubles in exchange for British poundsBritish pounds. Which of the following will not increase the foreign currency demand for the rubleruble​? A. Currency traders who believe that the value of the rubleruble in the future will be less than its value today. B. Foreign firms and consumers who want to buy goods and services from RussiaRussia. C. Currency traders who believe that the value of the rubleruble in the future will be greater than its value today.

Answers

Answer: A. Currency traders who believe that the value of the ruble in the future will be less than its value today.

Explanation:

In the foreign exchange market, currencies are traded at different prices. From the options given in the question, the correct option is option A (Currency traders who believe that the value of the rubleruble in the future will be less than its value today).

When the currency traders believe that the value of the rubel is going to depreciate in the future, they will start selling the rubels and this will lead to a decrease in the demand for it because it will depreciate. Here, the supply will increase but the demand will reduce.

Osage Corporation

Journal Entries for the Issuance of 2,000 Shares under the following assumptions:

(a) The stock had a par value of $5 per share and was issued for a total of $52,000.

Debit Cash Account $52,000

Credit Common Stock $10,000

Credit Additional Paid-in Capital $42,000

To record the issuance of 2,000 shares of Common Stock, par $5 for a total of $52,000.

(b) The stock had a stated value of $5 per share and was issued for a total of $52,000:

Debit Cash Account $52,000

Credit Common Stock $10,000

Credit Additional Paid-in Capital $42,000

To record the issuance of 2,000 shares of Common Stock, stated value of $5 for a total of $52,000.

(c) The stock had no par or stated value and was issued for a total of $52,000.

Debit Cash Account $52,000

Credit Common Stock $52,000

To record the issuance of 2,000 shares of Common Stock, with no par, for a total of $52,000.

Explanation:

Shares can be issued at par and above the par value.  A stated value is an amount assigned to a corporation's stock for internal accounting purposes when the stock has no par value.  Like par value, stated value is nominal, typically between $0.01 and $1.00.

If no-par value stock does not have a stated value, the entire proceeds from the issuance of the stock become legal capital.

Prediction of Future Fixed and Variable Costs, using the high-low method:

a) Determination of the Variable Cost:

7               362,000        $292,624

9                 76,400           $67,000

               285,600         $225,624

Variable cost per unit = $225,624/285,600 = $0.79

Fixed Costs = $76,000 - (76,400 x $0.79) = $15,644

Explanation:

The High-Low Method of determining costs can be relatively accurate if the highest and lowest activity levels represent the overall cost behavior of the company.  Inaccurate results will be obtained when the two extreme activity levels are significantly unrepresentative of the dataset.  This is exactly the case in this example.  If you try to estimate fixed cost, at another activity level, you will get a different result.  So the high-low method is not ideal in most cases and its results should not be relied on solely.  A better method is to do a regression analysis with the dataset to obtain a more accurate result.

Answers

Answer:

1. Huprey can resonably estimate that a pending lawsuit will result in damages of $1,280,000, it is probable that Huprey will lose the case.

Record a liability.  

2. It is reasonably possible that Huprey will lose a pending lawsuit. The loss cannot be estimable.

Disclose in notes.

3. Huprey is being sued for damages of $2,400,000. It is very unlikely (remote) that Huprey will lose the case.

Have no disclosure.

Explanation:

Contingent liabilities must be recorded only when it is probable that the liability will happen and you can estimate the associated costs.

When contingent liabilities are only reasonably possible or you cannot estimate the amount, they must be included in the footnotes of the financial statements.

When contingent liabilities are not reasonably possible, nothing needs to be disclosed.

Answers

Answer:

net income during 2019 = $109,045

Explanation:

total stockholder equity 2018 = assets - liabilities = $293,500 - $79,245 = $214,255

total stockholder equity 2019 = assets - liabilities = $497,512 - $177,212 = $320,300

change in equity from 2018 to 2019 = $106,045

$33,000 can be explained by additional capital invested, and the remaining  $73,045 corresponds to change in retained earnings

change in retained earnings = net income - dividends distributed

$73,045 = net income - $36,000

net income = $109,045

c. No journal entry is required.

d. Cash 680

Utilities Expense 680

e. Utilities Expense 680

Accounts Receivable 680

Answer:

a. Debit Utilities Expense $680

Credit Accounts Payable $680

Explanation:

Russel Co has received a utility bill for the current month but they intend to pay next month.

Since the expense is for this month it must be recognised now. So there will be a debit to the Utilities Expense account for $680.

The payment is not being made now but in the next month. This is an amount the business owes so it will be recorded as a credit to Accounts Payable of $680

Accounts payable is used to record monies that the business owes its creditors. Payments are due at a future date.

Answer:

Debit Utilities Expense 680

Credit Accounts Payable 680

Explanation:

Russell Co. Journal entry to record the receipt of the bill will be:

Debit Utilities Expense 680

Credit Accounts Payable 680

Since Russell Co. received a $680 utility bill which is not yet due until the end of the next month which means we have to Debit Utilities Expense with 680 which is the amount not yet due and Credit Accounts Payable with the same amount .

O.K. Company uses a job order cost accounting system and allocates its overhead on the basis of direct labor costs. O.K. expects to incur $2,000,000 of overhead during the next period and expects to use 50,000 labor hours at a cost of $10.00 per hour. What is O.K. Company's overhead application rate

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.4 per direct labor dollar

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

O.K. expects to incur $2,000,000 of overhead during the next period and expects to use 50,000 labor hours for $10.00 per hour.

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,000,000/ (50,000*10)

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.4 per direct labor dollar

Noland Company manufactures two models of its banjo, the Basic and the Luxury. The Basic model requires 10000 direct labor hours and the Luxury requires 30000 direct labor hours. The company produces 3400 units of the Basic model and 600 units of the Luxury model each year. The company inspects one Basic for every 100 produced, and inspects one Luxury for every 10 produced. The company expects to incur $1457000 of total inspecting costs this year. How much of the inspecting costs should be allocated to the Basic model using ABC costing

Answers

Answer:

Allocated inspection overhead= $527,000.

Explanation:

Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers.  

Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.

Activity rate per driver is calculated as:

Activity overhead for the period / Total cost drivers for the period

Number of inspection :

Basic model = 3400/100 = 34

Luxury model = 600/10= 60

Total inspection = 94 inspections

Inspection cost per inspection = $1457000/94=  15,500 inspections

Inspection to Basic model = 15,500  × 34 = $527,000.

Allocated inspection overhead= $527,000.

6. What aggregate planning difficulty that might confront an organization offering a variety of products and/or services would not confront an organization offering one or a few similar products or services

Answers

Answer:

Increase of $63,000 from investing activities

and a deduction from net income of $9,000

Explanation:

The sales and purchase of assets fall under the investing activities. However the profit or loss realized from such transaction would have increased or decreased the net income as the case may be . Therefore this item of profit or loss which do not represent cash flow  would be adjusted on the net income accordingly.

Profit on sale of building = 63,000 - 54,000 = $9,000

The transaction would be shown on the statement of cash flow as follows:

Net income

Less profit on sales of asset                            (9,000)

Investing activities:

add cash from Sale of asset                          63,000

Stealers, study components: In a study of the relationship between socio-economic class and unethical behavior, 129 University of California undergraduates at Berkeley were asked to identify themselves as having low or high social-class by comparing themselves to others with the most (least) money, most (least) education, and most (least) respected jobs. They were also presented with a jar of individually wrapped candies and informed that the candies were for children in a nearby laboratory, but that they could take some if they wanted. After completing some unrelated tasks, participants reported the number of candies they had taken. It was found that those who were identified as upper-class took more candy than others (Piff, 2012). Identify the following about this study. a) What are the cases?_____ b) What are the variables and their types?_____ c) What is the main research question?_____
