Risk due to a sudden surge in liability withdrawals.
Explanation:
In banking terms, this simply refers to the inability of the bank to meet with its financial responsibilities in the near term.
When a bank has excess capital tied down in the form of loans which have been collateralised, the physical assets upon the default of the loans become assets to the bank. Its liabilities to the depositors which are still in existence have to be met. If at any point in time the bank is unable to meet its liability to depositors and is also unable to quickly convert the assets, then it is said to be exposed to the risk of liquidity.

Grossnickle Corporation issues 20-year, noncallable, 7.1% annual coupon bonds at their par value of $1,000 one year ago. Today, the market interest rate on these bonds is 5.5%. What is the current price of the bonds, given that they now have 19 years to maturity
Answer:
Price of bond= $1,185.72
Explanation:
The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.
These cash flows include interest payment and redemption value
The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payment
annual coupon rate = 7.1%
Annual Interest payment =( 7.1%×$1000)= $71
Annual yield = = 5.5%
PV of interest payment
= A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- interest payment, r- yield - 5.5%, n- no of periods -19 periods
= 71× (1-(1.055)^(-19))/0.055)
= 71× 11.60765352
= 824.143
Step 2
PV of redemption value (RV)
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
RV - redemption value- $1000, n- 19, r- 5.5%
= 1,000 × (1+0.055)^(-19)
= 361.579
Step 3
Price of bond = PV of interest payment + PV of RV
$824.143 + $361.579
Price of bond= $1,185.72
Jorgensen High Tech Inc. is a calendar-year, accrual-method taxpayer. At the end of year 1, Jorgensen accrued and deducted the following bonuses for certain employees for financial accounting purposes.
$40,000 for Ken.
$30,000 for Jayne.
$20,000 for Jill.
$10,000 for Justin.
How much of the accrued bonuses can Jorgensen deduct in year 1 under the following alternative scenarios?
(Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)
Jorgensen paid the bonuses to employees on March 1 of year 2, and there is a requirement that the employee remain employed with Jorgensen on the payment date to receive the bonus.
Answer:
May deduct 100,000 in year 2 because the amount weren’t fixed at end of year 1 reason been that the employees are tend to be eligible to receive the bonuses only in a situation where they are employed on date that bonuses were been paid.
Explanation:
Calculation of How much of the accrued bonuses can Jorgensen deduct in year 1
March 1 of Year 2
Ken 40,000
Jayne30,000
Jill20,000
Justin 10,000
Total 100,000
In March 1 of year 2 the amount of $ 100,000 may
likely be deducted reason been that it was paid within 2 and a half months of year end.
Since we were told that Jorgensen paid the bonuses to employees on March 1 of year 2 and was as well told that the employee remain employed with Jorgensen on the date of the payment in order to receive the bonus this means that May deduct 100,000 in year 2 because the amount weren’t fixed at end of year 1 reason been that the employees are tend to be eligible to receive the bonuses only in a situation where they are employed on date that bonuses were been paid.

Answer:
before-tax loss on discontinued operations = $157,000
Explanation:
Operating loss February 1, 2016 - January 31, 2017, $132,000
Impairment of division assets at January 31, 2017, $25,000
Rocket retailers must report a before tax loss = $132,000 + $25,000 = $157,000
Since the income statement is presented on January 31, 2017, it can only include the loss incurred until that date. Any estimated future losses will be included in future income statements.
The following data relate to direct labor costs for the current period: Standard costs 7,000 hours at $11.40 Actual costs 6,400 hours at $10.10 What is the direct labor rate variance
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $8,320 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard costs 7,000 hours at $11.40 Actual costs 6,400 hours at $10.10
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (11.4 - 10.1)*6,400
Direct labor rate variance= $8,320 favorable

Since 2003, Walmart has been a proponent of RFID technology, and the company wanted all of its suppliers to make use of RFID technology.The most likely reason that Walmart is supporting this technology is to help them:
Answer:
Explanation:
The most likely reason for Walmart to support this technology is that it will allow them to track and process items from their suppliers at a much more efficient rate. Since RFID technology uses radio waves to read and capture information stored on a tag attached to an object, providing a unique identifier for an object. These unique tags allow each individual item to be tracked throughout the whole process from supplier to warehouse to client. Thus preventing losses and reducing costs.

What is the value of total gross investment?
Answer:
$3,521.30
Explanation:
The computation of value of total gross investment is shown below:-
Total gross investment = Business fixed investment + Residential fixed investment + Inventories
= $2,850.0 + $578.0 + $93.3
= $3,521.30
Therefore for computing the total gross investment we simply applied the above formula and ignore all other values as they are not relevant.
A project that costs $2,000 to install will provide annual cash flows of $510 for the next 5 years. The firm accepts projects with payback periods of less than 4 years.
Required:
a. What is this project's payback period?
b. What is project NPV if the discount rate is 3%?
c. What is project NPV if the discount rate is 10%?
Answer:
3.92
NPV when I is 3% = $335.65
NPV when I is 10% = $-66.70
Explanation:
Pay back period is the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flows.
Payback period = amount invested / cash flow = $2000 / $510 = 3.92
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-2000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $510
NPV when I is 3% = $335.65
NPV when I is 10% = $-66.70
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Suppose a farmer is expecting that her crop of oranges will be ready for harvest and sale as 150,000150,000 pounds of orange juice in 33 months time. Suppose each orange juice futures contract is for 15,00015,000 pounds of orange juice, and the current futures price is F_0 = 118.65F 0 =118.65 cents-per-pound. Assuming that the farmer has enough cash liquidity to fund any margin calls, what is the risk-free price that she can guarantee herself. Please submit your answer in cents-per-pound rounded to two decimal places. So for example, if your answer is 123.456123.456, then you should submit an answer of 123.47123.47. 1 point
Answer:
121.30
Explanation:
The future price guarantees the holder of the contract to trade a commodity at a predetermined price at a later date. The farmer has orange crops ready for sale amounting $150,000. The number of contracts required is 150,000 / 15,000 = 10 contracts.
The spot price is 118.65 cents per pound. The risk free price is the value at which farmer has agreed to sell its crops. The risk free future price will be (1 + spot price)^-time * number of contracts / time
= (1 + 118.65)^-33 * 10 / 33
= 121.30
The December 31, 2018, balance sheet of Whelan, Inc., showed $136,000 in the common stock account and $2,610,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The December 31, 2019, balance sheet showed $146,000 and $2,910,000 in the same two accounts, respectively. The company paid out $141,000 in cash dividends during 2019.
Required:
What was the cash flow to stockholders for the year?
Answer:
$169,000 negative
Explanation:
Equity = Common stock + Additional paid in surplus
Total equity at beginning= Common stock + Additional paid in surplus
=136,000+2,610,000=$2,746,000
Total equity at end= Common stock + Additional paid in surplus
=146,000+2,910,00)=$3,056,000
Hence new equity = Total equity at End - Total equity at beginning
3,056,000-2,746,000=$310,000
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid - New equity
= 141,000-310,000
= -169,000
=$169,000 negative

If a small electric automobile manufacturer is able to gain the social return generated by its electric motor, its demand for financial capital would
Answer: shift to the left
Explanation:
The social return helps in comparing the value of benefits and the costs to achieving the benefits. The social return is the ratio of net present value of the benefits in comparison to the net present value of the investment or the costs to getting the benefits.
In this case, if a small electric automobile manufacturer is able to gain the social return generated by its electric motor, it would decrease the demand for financial capital which simply means that the demand for financial capital will shift to the left. This shift to the left is as a result of the gain in its social return gotten by the electric motor.

Based on the above data, which of the following is the times- interest- earned ratio? (round the final answer to two decimal places)
A) 6.61 times
B) 4.15 times
C) 5.02 times
D) 4.02 times
Answer:
The times- interest- earned ratio is 6.61 times. The right answer is A.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the times- interest- earned ratio we would have to make the following calculation:
times- interest- earned ratio=Income before interest and taxes/Interest expense
According to given data
Income before interest and taxes=Net Income+Income tax expense +Interest expense
Income before interest and taxes=$265,000+$105,000+$66,000
Income before interest and taxes=$436,000
Therefore, times- interest- earned ratio=$436,000/$66,000
times- interest- earned ratio= 6.61 times
True or false: The plantwide overhead rate method uses multiple rates to allocate overhead costs to products.
Answer:
Flase.
Explanation:
The plantwide overhead rate method uses multiple rates to allocate overhead costs to products.
False.
As the name indicates, the plantwide overhead rate uses a single rate to allocate overhead. When the predetermined overhead rate is calculated using the activity base method, you have as many predetermined rates as activities.

Since in the question it is given that the opportunity cost of receiving 93 on the economics exam would lead to 81 points on the statistics exam
hence, the correct option is b. 81
If 10,000 units that were 40% completed are in process at November 1, 80,000 units were completed during November, and 12,000 were 20% completed at November 30, the number of equivalent units of production for November was 75,600. (Assume no loss of units in production and that inventories are costed by the first-in, first-out method.)
a. True
b. False
Answer:
Number of equivalents units= 78,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 10,000 units that were 40%
Units completed= 80,000
Ending inventory= 12,000 were 20% completed
We will determine the number of equivalents units using the following structure:
COST PER EQUIVALENT UNITS:
Beginning work in process = beginning inventory* %incompleted
Units started and completed = units completed - beginning WIP
Ending work in process completed= Ending WIP* %completed
=Number of equivalent units
Beginning work in process = 10,000*0.6= 6,000
Units started and completed = 80,000 - 10,000= 70,000
Ending work in process completed= 12,000*0.2= 2,400
= 78,400
Assume you are holding a business meeting with five people, each from a different continent (North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia), you being one of them. Which steps would you take to ensure that everyone is comfortable and that communication is good between everyone?
Explanation:
Holding a meeting with people from different cultures can be a big challenge, so it is necessary to organize the meeting to ensure that the different approaches and needs of each person are taken into account by the leader who will conduct the business meeting.
It is necessary to think of ideas, decisions and conduct that make all participants comfortable and are not a factor that interferes with the positive flow of the meeting. It is therefore important to develop cultural intelligence, which is an essential skill for leaders of large companies who wish to operate in the globalized market.
Cultural intelligence can be defined as the ability of a person to relate and work between different cultures, adapting and increasingly developing that intelligence (cultural quotient) in motivational, behavioral and metacognitive aspects. Through cultural intelligence it is possible for the individual to get involved efficiently in any environment, in business it is an essential skill for survival in the global market.
Parent Company holds 75 percent of Surrogate Company’s voting common shares. On December 31, 20X8, Parent recorded a loss of $20,000 on the sale of equipment to Surrogate. At the time of the sale, the equipment’s estimated remaining economic life was eight years. Required: a. Will consolidated net income be increased or decreased when consolidation entries associated with the sale of equipment are made at December 31, 20X8? By what amount?
Answer:
Net Increase in Net Income will be $18,125
Explanation:
In simple words, when we consolidate accounts we NEVER take account of inter-company transactions which leads to profits OR losses.
So now we will eliminate the effect of the loss recognized by the parent company and the entry would be as under:
Dr Depreciation for the year At Parent percentage XX
Dr Retained Earnings (Balancing figure) XX
Cr Loss from sale of Equipment XX
The debit balance of depreciation at the parent percentage shows that the equipment is still 75% owned by the parent company. Hence the 75% of the per year depreciation must be recognized for the year.
Increase as the loss is added back to Net Income = $20,000
Less Depreciation for the year At Parent percentage = $20,000/8 * 75%
= ($1,875)
Net Increase in Net Income = $20,000 - $1,875 = $18,125
And Double Entry is as under:
Dr Depreciation for the year At Parent percentage $1,875
Dr Retained Earnings (Balancing Earnings) $18,125
Cr Loss from sale of Equipment $20,000
The depreciation and the loss will be settle in the Cost of Goods Sold in the consolidated income statement.
A capital investment evaluation method that measures the expected time for the present value of the net cash flows to equal the initial cost of the investment is the:
Answer:
The Payback Method.
Explanation:
The pay back period is the length of time required for the total cash flows to equal the initial capital investment.
Thus the Payback Method is the investment evaluation method that measures the expected time for the present value of the net cash flows to equal the initial cost of the investment.
Answer:
The correct answer is: Net present value (NPV)
Explanation:
Julie Whiteweiler made $930 this week. Only social security (fully taxable) and federal income taxes attach to her pay. Whiteweiler contributes $100 each week to her company's 401(k) plan and has $25 put into her health savings account (nonqualified) each week. Her employer matches this $25 each week.
Required:
Determine Whiteweiler's take-home pay if she is single and claims 4 allowances (use the wage-bracket method).
Answer:
Step 1: Calculate FICA (OASDI & HI):
Total wage subjected to FICA is $930. Why? Contributions to 401K is only exempted from Fed. Income Tax Withholding (FIT) not FICA. As for HSA contrib., it is exempted for both FICA and FIT. However, the plan is non-qualified, which means that $25 contributed by employee is taxable for both. The $25 matching from employer for HSA is excluded from income and income taxes.
OASDI RATE 2012: 4.2% of $930; therefore, $39.06
HI RATE 2012: 1.45% of $930; therefore, $13.49
TOTAL FICA TAX: $52.55
STEP 2: Calculate FIT:
Total earnings subjected to FIT is ($930-100)= $830. Why? $100 contributions to 401k is exempted from FIT. HSA contrib. is unqualified.; therefore, contributions from employee is taxable. Using Wage Bracket Method 2012, the FIT is $89.
STEP 3: Getting the Take-Home Pay answer:
($930-100(401k))-25(HSA:Employee)-$52.55(FICA)-89(FIT)=$663.45
