2) At the end of 2010, what was Littleland's debt to GDP ratio? Give your answer to the nearest whole percentage point.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The total Expenditure  is the summation of all the following parameters ( Spending on Education, Spending on Welfare and social security,  Spending on Healthcare, Spending on Defense, Payments on Debt, Other Spending)

The total Expenditure = $(320+890+270+120+170+240) million

The total Expenditure = $2010 million

However;

The total Revenue = Income Tax+ Sales Tax+ Corporate Tax+ Social Insurance

The total Revenue = $(800+270+300+340) million

The total Revenue = $1710 million

The debt now will be the difference between the total expenditure and the total revenue.

Debt = $(2010-1710) million

Debt = $300 million

Therefore, Littleland needs to borrow  $300 million

At the end of 2010, the total debt = Total debt of 2009 + amount borrowed in 2010

Total debt of 2009 = $ 3.5 billion

amount borrowed in 2010 = $0.3 billion

At the end of 2010, the total debt =  $(3.5+0.3) billion

At the end of 2010, the total debt =  $3.8 billion

Therefore; the Debt to GDP ratio in 2010 = 3.8/7.3 = 52.05%

The Debt to GDP ratio in 2010 = 52.05%

To the nearest whole percentage ≅ 52%

A company buys a machine for $68,000 that has an expected life of 8 years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. The company anticipates a yearly net income of $3,250 after taxes of 36%, with the cash flows to be received evenly throughout each year. What is the accounting rate of return?
a. 3.44%.
b. 4.78%.
c. 9.56%.
d. 6.12%.
e. 38.24%.

Answers

Answer:

c. 9.56%

Explanation:

Accounting Rate of Return = Average Profit / Average Investment × 100

where,

Average Profit = $3,250

Average Investment = $68,000 ÷ 2 = $34,000

Therefore,

Accounting Rate of Return = $3,250 ÷ $34,000

                                             = 9.56 %

Cromwell's Interiors is considering a project that is equally as risky as the firm's current operations.The firm has a cost of equity of 15.4 percent and a pretax cost of debt of 8.9 percent.The debt-equity ratio is .46 and the tax rate is 34 percent.What is the cost of capital for this project?A) 11.97 percentB) 12.40 percentC) 11.02 percentD) 11.62 percentE) 12.38 percent

Answers

Answer:

Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of equity =  15.4%

Pretax cost of debt = 8.9%

Debt-equity ratio = 0.46

Tax rate = 34%

Computation:

Equity multiplier = 1 + Debt-equity ratio

Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.46

Equity multiplier = 1.46

Weight of equity = 1 / Equity multiplier

Weight of equity = 1 / 1.46

Weight of equity = 0.685

Weight of Debt = 1 - Weight of equity

Weight of Debt = 1 - 0.685

Weight of Debt = 0.315

Cost of capital = [Weight of Debt x Pretax cost of debt] x (1-tax rate) + [Cost of equity x Weight of Debt ]

Cost of capital = [0.315 x 8.9% x (1-0.34)] + [15.4% x 0.6849]

Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for a stock with annual returns of:__________.
a) 4%,
b) 9%,
c) -6%,
d) 18%

Answers

Answer:

Arithmetic average return = 6.25%

Geometric average return = 5.89%

Explanation:

Annual returns of 4%,  9%,  -6% and  18%

Arithmetic average return of the stock = ∑ 4%,9%,-6%,and 18% / n

= 25%/4

= 6.25%

Geometric average return formula = x1,*x2*x3 .....^1/n  - 1

Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*(1-0.06)*1.18^1/4 -1

Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*0.94*1.18^1/4 - 1

Geometric average return  = 1.25789^1/4-1

Geometric average return = 1.0589 - 1

Geometric average return = 0.0589

Geometric average return = 5.89%

What is the percentage change in the PV of $100 due in 1 year when the interest rate changes from 5% to 10%?
a. Decreases by 60.6%
b. Decreases by 4.33%
c. Decreases by 4.5%
d. Does not change
e. Increases by 4.5%
f. Increases by 60.6%

Answers

Answer:

c. Decreases by 4.5%

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the percentage change in the PV

First step is to calculate the present value when r is 5%

PV = 100 / (1 + 5%)^1

PV = $95.24

Second step is to calculate present value when r is 10%

PV = 100 / (1 + 10%)^1

PV = $ 90.91

Last step is to calculate the percentage change in the PV

Percentage change in the PV = (90.91 - 95.24) * 100 / 95.24

Percentage change in the PV = - 4.55% (Decrease)

Therefore the Percentage change in the PV Decreases by 4.5%

List three pieces of information listed in a credit card agreement that you believe are important to review before

Answers

Explanation:

Annual Percentage Rate (APR). This is the cost of borrowing on the card, if you don’t pay the whole balance off each month. You can compare the APR for different cards which will help you to choose the cheapest. You should also compare other things about the cards, for example, fees, charges and incentives

Minimum repayment. If you don’t pay off the balance each month, you will be asked to repay a minimum amount. This is typically around 3% of the balance due.

Annual fee. Some cards charge a fee each year for use of the card. The fee is added to the amount due and you will have to pay interest on the fee as well as on your spending, unless you pay it in full.

Where a producer chooses the intensity level of its market coverage, which level is chosen to utilize the “shotgun” approach?

Answers

The level that utilizes the "shotgun" approach to market coverage is:

Intensive Distribution (mass coverage).

Explanation:

This marketing approach aims to reach many consumers through as many sales channels as possible.  In this situation, consumers have easy access to the goods or services.  The other approaches include Selective Distribution (where few outlets in specific locations are selected for the distribution of the goods and services) and Exclusive Distribution (where limited outlets are chosen because of the target market).

On January 1, a store had inventory of $48,000. January purchases were $46,000 and January sales were $90,000. On February 1 a fire destroyed most of the inventory. The rate of gross profit was 25% of cost. Merchandise with a selling price of $7,500 remained undamaged after the fire. Compute the amount of the fire loss, assuming the store had no insurance coverage. Label all figures.

Answers

Answer:

the amount of the fire loss is $16,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of the fire loss is shown below

January 1 inventory $48,000

Add purchases $46,000

Goods Available $94,000

Less Cost of Goods Sold ($90,000 × 100 ÷ 125) $72,000

Less Cost of undamaged goods ($7,500 × 100 ÷ 125) $6,000

Goods Lost by Fire $16,000

hence, the amount of the fire loss is $16,000

True or False: Under the average-cost pricing policy, the cable company has no incentive to cut costs.

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The cable company will not have any incentive to cut costs.  This is because it knows that its costs will be averaged to determine the average cost to which a certain percentage is then added to arrive at the selling price.  Having the cost averaged in this way will not motivate the cable company to seek cost minimization strategies that it could use to increase its income.

What would be the debit to Cash in the journal entry to record this transaction?

Answers

Answer: $2,700,000

Explanation:

The debit to Cash in the journal entry to record this transaction will be calculated as:

= $3,000,000 - [($3,000,000 × 3%) + ($3000000 ×7%)]

= $3,000,000 - ($3,000,000 × 0.03) + ($3000000 × 0.07)

= $3,000,000 - [$90,000 + $210,000]

= $3,000,000 - $300,000

= $2,700,000

Therefore, the debit to cash will be $2,700,000.

Zhang Industries budgets production of 220 units in June and 230 units in July. Each unit requires 1.5 hours of direct labor. The direct labor rate is $12.40 per hour. The indirect labor rate is $19.40 per hour. Compute the budgeted direct labor cost for July.

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = $4,278

Explanation:

Given:

Production in July = 230 units

Hours of direct labor  = 1.5 hours per unit

Direct Labor rate = $12.40 per hour

Indirect labor rate = $19.40 per hour.

Find:

Budgeted direct labor cost for July

Computation:

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = (Production in July)( Hours of direct labor)( Direct Labor rate)

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = (230)(1.5)(12.4)

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = $4,278
