We have them so the government can limit the powers of the other branches.
You are 20 years old and have completed your BBA and want to pursue further education but you don’t want to make money from your father. Your plan is to start working and earn enough money so that you can finance your degree on your own and get yourself enrolled in five years’ time. You estimate that the annual cost of doing an MBA 5 years from today will be PKR 400,000 and the program will be two years long. You will need the money at the beginning of your program so that you are not worried about how to clear your dues during your studies. Luckily you go for a job interview and they hire you and you start working at a salary of PKR 25,000. So you decide that 50% you will deposit in a saving account at a 10% rate with monthly compounding for your further studies and the remaining amount you will use for your daily expenses. 1. Will you be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate? 2. What percentage of your salary should you save if you want to have exactly your university expenses amount? 3. How would your answer to part 1 change if the saving account rate changed to 5%? Comment on your answer. 4. If you are given an option to invest at the 10% saving rate with monthly compounding or 10.5% semiannual compounding, which would you chose? Explain your answer.
Answer:
1. Yes, you will be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate since the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 967,963.40 is greater than Total MBA cost for 2 years of PKR 800,000.
2. Percentage of monthly salary to save = 41%.
3. You will still be able to meet your goal at the saving rate of 5% since the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 850,076.04 is greater than Total MBA cost for 2 years of PKR 800,000. Although, the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 967,963.40 at 10% is higher than the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 850,076.04 at 5% saving rate.
4. I would choose the saving rate of 10% monthly compounding. The reason is that the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years at 10% semiannual compounding saving rate of PKR 967,963.40 is greater than the Future value of the semiannual savings after 5 years at 10.5% saving rate semiannual compounding of PKR 954,422.88 by an amount of PKR 13,540.52 (i.e. PKR 967,963.40 - PKR 954,422.88 = PKR 13,540.52).
Explanation:
Monthly salary = PKR 25,000
Monthly savings = PKR 25,000 * 50% = PKR 12,500
Annual MBA cost = PKR 400,000
Total MBA cost for 2 years = PKR 400,000 * 2 = PKR 800,000
1. Will you be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate?
To determine this, the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity is used as follows:
FV = M * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years =?
M = Monthly savings = PKR 12,500
r = Monthly interest rate = 10% / 12 = 0.10 /12 = 0.00833333333333333
n = number of months the savings will be made = 5 year * 12 months = 60
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = 12,500 * (((1 + 0.00833333333333333)^60 - 1) / 0.00833333333333333)
FV = 12,500 * 77.4370721734302
FV = PKR 967,963.40
Yes, you will be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate since the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 967,963.40 is greater than Total MBA cost for 2 years of PKR 800,000.
2. What percentage of your salary should you save if you want to have exactly your university expenses amount?
To determine this, we still make use of equation (1) in part (1) above by changing Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years (FV) to PKR 800,000 while other values remains the same and solve for Monthly savings (M) after substituting the values into equation (1) follows:
800,000 = M * (((1 + 0.00833333333333333)^60 - 1) / 0.00833333333333333)
800,000 = M * 77.4370721734302
M = 800,000 / 77.4370721734302
M = PKR 10,330.97
Percentage of salary to save = M / Monthly salary = PKR 10,330.97 / PKR 25,000 = 0.41323876409392, or 41%
3. How would your answer to part 1 change if the saving account rate changed to 5%? Comment on your answer.
We use equation (1) is part 1, retain all the other values except r which is obtained as follows:
r = Monthly interest rate = 5% / 12 = 0.05 / 12 = 0.00416666666666667
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = 12,500 * (((1 + 0.00416666666666667)^60 - 1) / 0.00416666666666667)
FV = 12,500 * 68.0060828408433
FV = PKR 850,076.04
You will still be able to meet your goal at the saving rate of 5% since the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 850,076.04 is greater than Total MBA cost for 2 years of PKR 800,000. Although, the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 967,963.40 at 10% is higher than the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years of PKR 850,076.04 at 5% saving rate.
4. If you are given an option to invest at the 10% saving rate with monthly compounding or 10.5% semiannual compounding, which would you chose? Explain your answer.
From part 1 above, the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years at 10% saving rate monthly compounding is PKR 967,963.40.
To obtain the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years at 10.5% semiannual compounding saving rate, we use equation (1) with changes in definitions to semiannual where:
FV = Future value of the semiannual savings after 5 years =?
M = Semiannual total savings = Monthly saving * 6 months = PKR 12,500 * 6 = PKR 75,000
r = Semiannual interest rate = 10.5% / 2 = 0.105 / 2 = 0.0525
n = number of semiannual the savings will be made = 5 year * 2 semiannuals = 10 semiannuals
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = 75,000 * (((1 + 0.0525)^10 - 1) / 0.0525)
FV = 75,000 * 12.7256383972991
FV = PKR 954,422.88
Therefore, I would choose the saving rate of 10% monthly compounding.
The reason is that the Future value of the monthly savings after 5 years at 10% semiannual compounding saving rate of PKR 967,963.40 is greater than the Future value of the semiannual savings after 5 years at 10.5% saving rate semiannual compounding of PKR 954,422.88 by an amount of PKR 13,540.52 (i.e. PKR 967,963.40 - PKR 954,422.88 = PKR 13,540.52).

Zipcar: Creating Value in the Marketplace Zipcar: Creating Value in the Marketplace Nearly a decade ago, the founders of Zipcar decided to bring the car-sharing experience to the United States. Since then, Zipcar has developed the gold standard by offering its members 24/7 access to thousands of cars around the world and creating a revolution in the way many think about alternate transportation. This activity is important because understanding the marketplace, especially consumers' needs and wants, is fundamental to marketing success. The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate how marketing focuses on creating value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large. Read the case of about how Zipcar creates value in the car-sharing services market and answer the questions that follow. Zipcar is a membership-based car sharing service offering automobile rental to its members in hour or day increments. Zipcar was founded in 2000 by Robin Chase and Antje Danielson, who were inspired by the success of car sharing in Europe; Avis Budget Group acquired the company in 2013.

Which of the following is an advantage of relying on internal recruitment sources?
A) They are likely to promote diversity.
B) Using internal recruitment helps ensure employees all think alike.
C) They are generally cheaper and faster than looking outside the organization.
D) For entry-level positions,there will always be many recruits from which to select.
E) All of the choices are advantages of relying on internal recruitment sources.
Answer:
C) They are generally cheaper and faster than looking outside the organization.
Explanation:
Internal recruitment can be defined as a process used by human resources managers to fill vacant positions existing within an organization from an existing workforce or labor force.
An advantage of relying on internal recruitment sources is that they are generally cheaper and faster than looking outside the organization.
Additionally, an internal recruitment process is more advantageous than the external recruitment process because it generally provides a pool of applicants who are well-known or familiar to the organization, as well as improving loyalty among employees.
Halifax Manufacturing allows its customers to return merchandise for any reason up to 90 days after delivery and receive a credit to their accounts. All of Halifax's sales are for credit (no cash is collected at the time of sale). The company began 2021 with a refund liability of $400,000. During 2021, Halifax sold merchandise on account for $13,400,000. Halifax's merchandise costs is 65% of merchandise selling price. Also during the year, customers returned $661,000 in sales for credit, with $365,000 of those being returns of merchandise sold prior to 2021, and the rest being merchandise sold during 2021. Sales returns, estimated to be 5% of sales, are recorded as an adjusting entry at the end of the year. Required: 1. Prepare entries to (a) record actual returns in 2021 of merchandise that was sold prior to 2021; (b) record actual returns in 2021 of merchandise that was sold during 2021; and (c) adjust the refund liability to its appropriate balance at year end. 2. What is the amount of the year-end refund liability after the adjusting entry is recorded
Answer:
actual returns:
refund liabilities 365,000 debit
cash 365,000 credit
inventory 237,250 debit
inventory-returns 237,250 credit
--returns on the previous year--
refund liabilities 296,000 debit
account receivables 296,000 credit
inventory 237,250 debit
inventory-returns 237,250 credit
--returns in the current year--
192,400
adjusting entry:
sales return 670,000 debit
refund liability 670,000 credit
inventory-returns 237,250 debit
cost of goods sold 237,250 credit
--returns in the current year--
Balance of allowance for sales refunds: 409,000
Explanation:
When returning their goods the customer's receivables are canceled.
We also need to calculate the cost of these goods that return to the company's inventory.
365,000 x 65% = 237,250
296,000 x 65% = 192,400
credit-sales: 13,400,000
estimated returns: 5% >> 670,000
estimated inventory-returns 670,000 x 65% = 435,500
We work with our liabilities and return accounts rather than the cost of good sold and sales returns as these are adjusted at year-end based on credit sales.
Balance:
beginning 400,000
returns (661,000)
year-end
adjust 670,000
ending 409,000
Why is the answer C?
Explanation:
At a price of $4.00, the quantity is 1 + 5 + 8 = 14.
At a price of $2.00, the quantity is 0 + 3 + 4 = 7.
The quantity decreased by 7. So A and B are false.
Ann's supply curve is linear, so her change in quantity will be proportional to the price change. However, Barry and Charlie have nonlinear supply curves, so their change in quantity will not be proportional. So D is false.
Only C is true. At a price of $2.00, Charlie's quantity is 0.
What is the most effective learning theory in your opinion? Explain how does it modify one’s behavior? Support your answer with relevant examples.
Answer:
Experiential Learning Theory
Explanation:
I think that the experiential learning theory is the most effective learning theory. This learning theory projects experience as a crucial factor that promotes learning. It also explains that people learn better when they initiate their learning and not when they are forced to learn.
I think this theory is very effective as it makes the lessons learned to stick better and also cause the needed changes. For example, a teenager who is constantly reminded by his parents to avoid late night partying, but rejects the counsel, might learn better if he gets into trouble as a result of the experience. Also, a student who finds it difficult to understand a topic taught by a teacher, might get better at it when he initiates the learning himself by actively researching and studying on his own.
You can buy property today for $3 million and sell it in 5 years for $4 million. (You earn no rental income on the property.) (LO5-2) a. If the interest rate is 8%, what is the present value of the sales price? b. Is the property investment attractive to you? c. Would your answer to part (b) change if you also could earn $200,000 per-year rent on the property? The rent is paid at the end of each year.
Answer:
a) Present Value of sales = $2,722,332.78
b) Property is not attractive. NPV$ (277,667.21)
c) Property is attractive. NPV-$520,874.79
Explanation:
The present value of the property
PV = S× (1+r)^(-n)
S- Sales value
r- interest rate -8%
n- number of years
PV - present value
PV = 4,000,000× 1.08^(-5) = $2,722,332.78
b. Is the property investment attractive to you?
We calculated the PV of the investment as follows
NPV = PV of sales value - initial cost
= 2,722,332.78 - 3,000,000=$ (277,667.21)
The property investment is not attractive because it will produce a loss in capital i.e negative NPV
C
To determine we will calculate the NPV again with considering the additional rental income
PV of annual rent = 200,000 × (1-1.08^(-5))/0.08= 798,542.00
NPV = 798,542.00 + 277,667.2119 - 3,000,000 =520,874.79
The property is attractive as it produces positive NPV
You’ve collected the following information about Gandalf, Inc.Sales $320,000 Net income $18,500Dividends $7,300Total debt $68,000Total equity $99,000 A. What is the sustainable growth rate for the company? B. Assuming it grows at this rate, how much new borrowing will take place in the coming year, assuming a constant debt-equity ratio? C. What growth rate could be supported with no outside financing at all?
Answer:
11.31%
Explanation:
sustainable growth rate = retention rate x return on equity
return on equity (ROE) = net income / shareholders' equity = $18,500 / $99,000 = 18.69%
retention rate = 1 - dividend payout ratio
dividend payout ratio = dividends / net income = $7,300 / $18,500 = 39.46%
retention rate = 1 - 39.46% = 60.54%
sustainable growth rate = 0.6054 x 0.1869 = 0.1131 = 11.31%
The sustainable growth rate for the company is : 11.31%
Sustainable growth rate is computed as :
= Retention rate x return on equity
Return on equity (ROE)
= Net income / shareholders' equity = $18,500 / $99,000 = 18.69%
Retention rate
= 1 - dividend payout ratio
Dividend payout ratio
= dividends / net income
= $7,300 / $18,500
= 39.46%
Retention rate
= 1 - 39.46%
= 60.54%
Sustainable growth rate
= 0.6054 x 0.1869
= 0.1131
= 11.31%

Jiminy Cricket Removal has a profit margin of 7.6%, total asset turnover of 1.73, and ROE of 17.2%. What is this firm s debt-equity ratio?
Answer:
The debt to equity ratio is 30.81%
Explanation:
The computation of the debt equity ratio is shown below:
ROE = Profit margin × Asset turnover × equity multiplier
17.2% = 7.6% × 1.73 × (1 + debt ÷ equity)
17.2 ÷ 13.148 = (1 + debt ÷ equity)
1.308184 = (1 + debt ÷ equity)
So, after solving this,
hence, The debt to equity ratio is 30.81%

What is the amount of the non-cash Items for 2015?
a. $481 million
b. $227 million
c. $311 mllon
d. $473 million?
Answer: c. $311 mllon
Explanation:
Non-cash items are those items that go into the income statement and can either increase or decrease profits but do not have an actual cash value. In other words, they may affect the calculation of profit but they do not impact the company's cash flow.
Examples include; Depreciation and Amortization
, deferred income taxes and loss on disposal of property and equipment.
From the statements of Woodlands Inc., there seems to be only one non-cash item which is Depreciation at a value of $311 million.
5. The demand for good X is estimated to be QXd = 10,000 - 4PX + 5PY + 2M + AX where PX is the price of X, PY is the price of good Y, M is income and AX is the amount of advertising on X. Suppose the present price of good X is $50, PY = $100, M = $25,000, and AX = 1,000 units. Determine 1. a. Own price elasticity of demand b. Cross price elasticity of demand c. Income elasticity of demand d. Is good y a complement or a substitute e. Is good is normal or inferior
Answer:
We need to calculate quantity demanded of good X
Qxd = 10,000 − 4PX + 5PY + 2M + AX
Qxd = 10,000 − 4(50) + 5(100) + 2(25000) + 1000
Qxd = 10,000 - 200 + 500 + 50000 + 1000
Qxd = 61,300
a. E(P) = ∆Qx/∆Px * (Px / Qx)
E(P) = - 4 * (50 / 61,300)
{where, ∆Qx/∆Px is the price coefficient = -4}
E(P) = = - 0.003 (The absolute value is 0.003)
Demand is inelastic, because price elasticity is less than 1.
b. CPED = ∆Qx/∆Py * (Py / Qx)
CPED = 5 * (100 / 61,300)
[where, ∆Qx/∆Py is the price coefficient of good Y = 5]
CPED = 0.008
c. IED = ∆Qx/∆M * (M / Qx)
= 2 * (25,000 / 61,300)
[where, ∆Qx/∆M is the income coefficient = 2]
= 0.816
d. Good Y and X is subtitles because CPED is positive.
e. Good X is a normal good because income elasticity is positive.
Explain how the economic systems of countries differ?
Explanation:
Economic systems can be defined as a system with characteristics and principles for regulating all components of an economy, such as labor, production, resources, etc.
It is different according to each country, in that each country operates through different laws and rules for controlling the economy. There are countries that operate through a more rigid economic system, where there is government control over production and market prices, and there are countries that operate in a freer economic system, where the government does not interfere so much in private property, in profitability and in price, and organizations operate according to the law of supply and demand, such as the capitalist system, for example, which is a system that is very widespread in the globalized world, where the primary objective is the accumulation of profits.

Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the quick ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. For current ratio
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ current liabilities
Before that first determine the current assets
As we know that
Net working capital = Current asset - Current liability
$3,640 = Current asset - $5,430
So,
Current asset is
= $3,640 + $5,430
= $9,070
Now the current ratio is
= $9,070 ÷ $5,430
= 1.67 times
b. The quick ratio is
Quick ratio = (Current asset - Inventory) ÷ Current liability
= ($9,070 - $4,290)÷ $5,430
= $4,780 ÷ $5,430
= 0.88 times
Manufacturer A has a profit margin of 2.0%, an asset turnover of 1.7 and a liabilities-to-assets ratio of 0.8. Manufacturer B has a profit margin of 2.3%, an asset turnover of 1.1 and an equity multiplier of 4.7. How much asset turnover should manufacturer B have to match manufacturer A's ROE
Answer:
1.54
Explanation:
The computation of the asset turnover for manufacturer B to match with the manufacturer A is shown below:
As we know that
Return on equity = profit margin × asset turnover × gearing
2 × 1.7 × 4.9 = 2.3 × Asset tunover × 4.7
After solving this, the asset turnover is 1.54 times
So it should be 1.54 for matching
Also, we assume that there is an equity multiplier for manufacturer A of 4.9 instead of liabilities-to-assets ratio so we considered the same in the above computation part
Kayleigh is looking over a number of material requisition slips from her employees. She has to sign off on each request after reviewing it, which she thinks is a waste of time and effort. Kayleigh believes that having the name of the employee who requested the materials should be enough. Is she correct?
Answer: B : No, approval by an individual other than the requestor establishes greater accountability over inventory.
Explanation:
The purpose of reviewing the material requisition slips is to ensure that there is greater accountability in inventory acquisition and this is why it is important that someone else apart from the person requesting approves the inventory request as it will reduce chances of fraud.
If the person requesting could also approve, there is a chance that inventory that is not needed will be ordered and then used for purposes other than to benefit the business but to benefit the person who requested it.

C. Go to the library, and look for books on the subject.
D. Hold focus groups.
Answer:
A. Search electronic databases for relevant material.
C. Go to the library, and look for books on the subject.
Explanation:
In a research study, a secondary source is a term that describes a form of source which is not the original source to the interpreted data. In other words, it involves already prepared data which can easily be found in places like academic books and journals
Hence, in this case, when performing secondary-source research, the following should be done amongst others:
1. Search electronic databases for relevant material.
2. Go to the library, and look for books on the subject.
This is because the aforementioned involves a place to get a secondary source and it will save time and effort.
On the other hand, Holding focus groups and conducting interviews involves primary source research

Classified balance sheet to provide useful information about liquidity and long-term solvency.
From balance sheet information, liquidity financial ratios can be made, like current ratio (current assets / current liabiliies), or the acid test (Current assets - inventory / current liabilities).
Liquidity refers to an assessment of whether a company will be able to pay all its liabilities.
Liquidity can be defined as the amount of liquid assets that a company has. Liquid assets are those that can be easily sold and bought in the market without a loss of value. Cash, and cash equivalents are the most important liquid accounts. If a firm has a lot of cash, it is likely to have enough liquidity to pay off its debts in the future.

Equivalent Units of Materials Cost The Rolling Department of Kraus Steel Company had 4,600 tons in beginning work in process inventory (70% complete) on October 1. During October, 77,000 tons were completed. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 3,900 tons (40% complete). What are the total equivalent units for direct materials for October if materials are added at the beginning of the process? 80,900 units
Answer:
Total equivalent units= 80,900 tons
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
During October, 77,000 tons were completed. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 3,900 tons (40% complete).
Because the direct material is added at the beginning of the process, we should not take into account the beginning inventory. It was recognized the previous month.
For direct material, each ton is completed at 100%.
Units completed= 77,000*1 = 77,000
Ending inventory= 3,900*1= 3,900
Total equivalent units= 80,900 tons
