Which one of the following is not included in the current account?
O the flow of interest payments to a Canadian holder of a German bond
O a foreigner's purchase of Canadian corporate shares
O a Canadian's purchase of a Korean-made car
O a French tourist's spending while visiting Canada
Answer:
O a French tourist's spending while visiting Canada
Explanation:
A current account shows the balance between a country's exports and imports. In other words, a country's exports and imports are indicated in the country's current account. A positive balance indicates a country has more exports than imports.
Exports include all goods, services, capital, and earnings sent outside the borders of a country. Imports are what is received from other countries. The current account considers goods, services, interest, and capital moving in and out of the borders. The French tourist is spending in Canada. The items being bought are not imports.
The Barrett Company had sales of $19,800, total costs of $10,900, depreciation expense of $2,100, interest expense of $1,250. Their tax rate is 40%. The firm's operating cash flow is:______.
a. $7,650.
b. $8,900.
c. $6,680.
d. $3,330.
e. $5,430.
Answer:
d $3,330
Explanation:
The firm's operating cash flow is computed as;
Sales - Costs - Depreciation expense = EBIT
EBIT = $19,800 - $10,900 - $2,100
= $6,800
EBT = EBIT - Interest expense
EBT = $6,800 - $1,250
EBT = $5,550
Firm's tax rate = 40% × $5,550= $2,220
Operating cash flow = $5,550 - $2,220
Operating cash flow = $3,330

The account that is debited by Hoffman Company to record the return is the account payable.
During the taking of its physical inventory on December 31, Barry's Bike Shop incorrectly counted its inventory as $204,505 instead of the correct amount of $166,687. The effect on the balance sheet and income statement would be:___________.
a. assets overstated by $37,818 retained earnings understated by $37.818, and not income statement understated by $37.818
b. assets overstated by $204,505; retained earnings understated by $166,687, and no effect on the income statement
c. assets, retained earnings, and net income all overstated by $37.818
d. assets and retained earnings overstated by $166,687; and net income understated by $204,505
Answer:
c. assets, retained earnings, and net income all overstated by $37.818
Explanation:
Given that
Inventory correct amount is $166,687
And, the Inventory wrongly recorded is $204,505
So
inventory was overstated by
= $204,505 - $166,687
= $37,818
As the ending inventory is overstated so the net income is also overstated and if the net income is overstated then the retained earnings would be overstated
hence, the correct option is c.
An issue of preferred stock is paying an annual dividend of $1.50. The growth rate for the firm's common stock is 5%. What is the preferred stock price if the required rate of return is 7%?
a) $21.43
b) None of these options
c) $22.50
d) $30.00
Answer:
a) $21.43

Preferred stock price = 21.42857142857143
Preferred stock price = $21.43
Explain which of the following items are money in the U.S. economy. Discuss your answers in terms of three functions of money. 1. US $100 2. Euro 3. Mona Lisa painting 4. American Express credit card
Answer:
$100
Mona Lisa painting
Explanation:
To start with, I will list the 3 primary functions of money, which are;
store of value,
unit of account, and
medium of exchange.
Going by the above, I would say that 2 of the 4 options presented before us are money, why so?
A $100 bill is definitely money, no much explanation is needed here, because it's used daily as a means of exchange between people
2. Euro is not a form of money in the US. While it is a form of money in many other places, it's not in the US because it doesn't satisfy the "medium of exchange" criteria of function of money. Euro can not be spent in a store or anywhere in the country, without it having been first exchanged into dollars
3. Mona Lisa painting, part of the functions of money is to store value, and I believe very much, a painting is a good store of money in that regard.
4. American Express credit card is not a form of money because unlike money
being used essentially, to pay for goods and services directly, a credit card is more or less, a store of wealth that is lent by the bank
benefits are offered by employers to attract good employees

10,000 can be invested under two options: Option 1. Deposit the 10,000 into a fund earning an effective annual rate of i; or Option 2. Purchase an annuity-immediate with 24 level annual payments at an effective annual rate of 10%. The payments are deposited into a fund earning an effective annual rate of 5%. Both options produce the same accumulated value at the end of 24 years. Calculate i.
Answer:
I = 0.06894
Explanation:
The investment amount into 2 options is given as 10000
10000x(1+I)²⁴ is the accumulated value of option a
10000x0.10/(1-i)/1.1²⁴/0.05x1.05^24-1
= 49530.62522
To get I
(49530.62522/10000)^1/24-1
= 1.068995077 - 1
= 0.06894

What was the firm's ROE?
a. 12.79%
b. 13.47%
c. 14.18%
d. 14.88%
e. 15.63%
Answer:
ROE = 0.14175 or 14.175%
Explanation:
The DuPont equation to calculate ROE or return on equity breaks the ROE into three components namely Net Income or Net Profit margin, Total assets turnover and equity multiplier. This is used to see what factor are affecting the Return on Equity generated by the business. ROE under DuPont can be calculated as follows,
ROE = NI Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier
ROE = 0.0525 * 1.5 * 1.8
ROE = 0.14175 or 14.175%
Paradise Corporation budgets on an annual basis for its fiscal year. The following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are planned for next year. *Three pounds of raw material are needed to produce each unit of finished product. If Paradise Corporation plans to sell 545,000 units during next year, the number of units it would have to manufacture during the year would be:________
a) 492,000 units
b) 545,000 units
c) 575,000 units
d) 515,000 units
Answer: d. 515,000 units
Explanation:
If they plan to sell 545,000 units then given those beginning and ending balances of finished goods, they will have to manufacture;
= Sales + Ending balance - Beginning balance
= 545,000 + 63,000 - 93,000
= 515,000 units
Firm A issued a $1,000,000 bond with a 20-year term at a discount. If the remaining amount of the discount on bonds payable is $100,000 after 10 years and firm A retires the bond at this point at 110 (or for cash of $1,100,000), then what is the loss/gain on this bond retirement?
Answer:
Loss of $200,000
Explanation:
Carrying value of bond = $1,000,000 - $100,000
Carrying value of bond = $900,000
Cash paid on bonds = $1,100,000
Loss on bond = Cash paid on bonds - Carrying value of bond
Loss on bond = $1,100,000 - $900,000
Loss on bond = $200,000

The Wilson family has a disposable income of $60,000 annually. Currently, the Wilson family spends 80% of new disposable income on consumption. Assume that their marginal propensity to consume is 0.8 and that their autonomous consumption spending is equal to $10,000. What is the amount of the Wilson family's annual consumer spending
Answer:
the annual consumer spending is $58,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the wilson family is shown below"
Annual consumer spending is
= Disposable income × marginal propensity to consume + autonomous consumption spending
= $60,000 × 0.8 + $10,000
= $48,000 + $10,000
= $58,000
hence, the annual consumer spending is $58,000

Suppose Hillard Manufacturing sold an issue of bonds with a 10-year maturity, a $1,000 par value, a 10% coupon rate, and semiannual interest payments.
the market price of the bond after 2 years:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 4%)¹⁶ = $533.91
PV of coupon payment = $50 x 11.652 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 16 periods) = $582.60
market price = $1,116.51
the market price of the bond after 5 years:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 4%)⁶ = $790.31
PV of coupon payment = $50 x 5.2421 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 6 periods) = $262.11
market price = $1,052.42
the market price of the bond after 7 years:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 4%)² = $924.56
PV of coupon payment = $50 x 1.8861 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 2 periods) = $94.31
market price = $1,018.87
Allison Corp. has just issued nonconvertible preferred stock (cumulative) with a par value of $20 and an annual dividend rate of 4.25%. The preferred stock is currently selling for $18.75 per share. What is the annual yield or return (r) on this preferred stock
Answer:
4.5%
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual yield or return (r) on this preferred stock
Using this formula
PVper = PMT / r
Where,
PVper =$18.75
PMT =(4.25%*$20)=0.85
Let plug in the formula
$18.75 = 0.85 / r
r = 0.045*100
r= 4.5%
Therefore the annual yield or return (r) on this preferred stock will be 4.5%

Synovec Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 25 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 4 percent thereafter. If the required return is 10 percent, and the company just paid a dividend of $2.95, what is the current share price
Answer:
P0 = $86.52419 rounded off to $86.52
Explanation:
Using the two stage growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula to calculate the price of the stock today is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n + [(D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
g1 is the initial growth rateg2 is the constant growth rate r is the required rate of returnP0 = 2.95* (1+0.25) / (1+0.1) + 2.95 * (1+0.25)^2 / (1+0.1)^2 +
2.95 * (1+0.25)^3 / (1+0.1)^3 +
[(2.95 * (1+0.25)^3 * (1+0.04) / (0.1 - 0.04)) / (1+0.1)^3]
P0 = $86.52419 rounded off to $86.52
Without prejudice to your solution to part (a), assume that you computed the June 30, 2020, inventory to be $60,480 at retail and the ratio of cost to retail to be 68%. The general price level has increased from 100 at January 1, 2020, to 108 at June 30, 2020. Compute the June 30, 2020, inventory at the June 30 price level under the dollar-value LIFO retail method.
Answer:
The June 30, 2020, inventory at the June 30 price level under the dollar-value LIFO retail method:
$65,318.40
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
June 30, 2020 Inventory = $60,480 at retail
Ratio of cost to retail = 68%
Inventory at cost = $41,126.40 ($60,480 * 68%)
General price level increase from 100 to 108
Inventory at the June 30 price level under the dollar-value LIFO retail method:
Inventory at cost = $44,416.50 ($41,126.40 * 108/100)
Inventory at retail = $65,318.40 (44,416.50/68%)

Currently, Cathy's Shirt Shop sells 498 units a month at an average price of $98 a unit. The company thiks it can increase sales by an additional 140 units a month if it switches to a net 30 credit policy. The monthly interest rate is .45 percent and the variable cost per unit is $55. What is the incremental cash inflow of the proposed credit policy switch?
Answer:
$6,020
Explanation:
Calculation for the incremental cash inflow
Using this formula
Incremental cash flow=(Average price per units-Variable cost per unit)*Additional units
Let plug in the formula
Incremental cash flow = ($98 - $55)*140 units
Incremental cash flow=$43*140 units
Incremental cash flow= $6,020
Therefore the incremental cash inflow will be $6,020

Watters Umbrella Corp. issued 15-year binds two years ago at a coupon rate of 6.2 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 98 percent of par value, what is the YTM?
Answer:
YTM = 6.42%
Explanation:
current market value = $1,000 x 98% = $980
n = (15 - 2) x 2 = 26
coupon = $1,000 x 6.2% x 1/2 = $31
face value = $1,000
YTM = [coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = [31 + [(1,000 - 980)/26]} / [(1,000 + 980)/2]
YTM = (31 + 0.77) / 990 = 31.77 / 990 = 0.03209 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.641818 = 6.42%
