Relative Value in Consumption is measured as the relative cost of the amount of goods and services such as food, shelter, clothing, etc., that an average household would buy. Historically this bundle has become larger as households have bought more over time.
To calculate compound interest earnings, the formula requires that you know the amount of principal, the number of time periods, and
O the age of the depositor
O the amount of bank fees
o the interest rate
O the inflation rate
Answer:
the interest rate.
Explanation:
Compound interest is generally calculated based on the interest rate on a loan, principal and the accumulated interest gained from previous periods.
This ultimately implies that, to calculate compound interest earnings, the formula requires that you know the amount of principal, the number of time periods, and the interest rate.
To find the future value, we use the compound interest formula;
[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Where;
A is the future value.
P is the principal or starting amount.
r is annual interest rate.
n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year.
t is the number of years for the compound interest.
A holiday sales flyer advertised a video game system for a significantly reduced price and
video game with purchase. Later that day, the sales associate told you that the store is out of
both items. Instead, you were offered a different system and games at full retail prices. What is this type of fraud called?
Answer: Bait and switch
Explanation:
The type of fraud here is referred to as the bait and switch fraud. This fraud occurs when customers are told about the low prices and quality of a product but aren't available when customers want to purchase such products and they're then given products that are costlier or products that are of lesser quality.
This can be seen in the question when the sales associate advertised the video game system for a reduced price which wasn't available when customers wanted to buy but were offered a game that was costlier.
Capalbo Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the company estimated the labor-hours for the upcoming year at 52,000 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $2.78 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,192,360. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 52,600 labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:______.
a. $2.78
b. $25.45
c. $25.71
d. $22.93
Answer:
Predetermined overhead Absorption rate = $22.93. per labour hour
Explanation:
Predetermined Overhead absorption rate(POAR) = Estimate overhead /Estimated labour hours
Estimated overhead = $1,192,360
Estimated labour hours =52,000 hours
Overhead absorption rate = $1,192,360/52,000 hours =$22.93 per labour hour
Predetermined overhead Absorption rate = $22.93. per labour hour

When the price of a good is $5, the quantity demanded of a good is 30 units, and the quantity supplied of the good is 50 units. For every $1 decrease in the price of this good, quantity demanded rises by 5 units and quantity supplied falls by 5 units. The equilibrium price of this good is ___________and the equilibrium quantity of this good is _________ units.
Answer:
the equilibrium price is $3 and equilibrium quantity is 40
Explanation:
The computation of the equilibrium price and quantity is shown below:
Price Quantity demanded Quantity supplied
$5 30 50
$4 35 45
$3 40 40
$2 45 35
$1 50 30
The equilibrium price is the price where the quantity demanded is equivalent to the quantity supplied
So the equilibrium price is $3 and equilibrium quantity is 40
Assume you are using the dividend growth model to value stocks. If you expect the inflation rate to increase, you should also expect: A. market value of all stocks to decrease, all else equal. B. market value of all stocks to remain constant as the dividend growth will offset the increase in inflation. C. stocks that do not pay dividends to decrease in price while dividend paying stocks maintain a constant price.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = interest rate
g = growth rate
Interest rate used is usually nominal, thus, it increases with inflation rate
We can see that the interest rate is an inverse function of the value, thus when inflation increases, interest rate increases and price declines
Example
d1 = 5
r = 10%
g = 5%
5/ (0.1 - 0,05) = 100
when interest rate increases to 20% as a result of inflation, value becomes
5 / 0.2 - 0.05 = 33.33
value decreased with increase in inflation
Park Co. holds a 80% interest in San Marino Co. During 2019, San Marino sold inventory costing $1,155,000 to Park for $1,650,000. A total of $600,000 of this inventory was not sold to outsiders until 2020. During 2020, San Marino sold inventory costing $1,080,000 to Park for $1,800,000. A total of $750,000 of this inventory was not sold to outsiders until 2021. In 2020, Park reported a net income of $2,250,000 while San Marino reported $1,350,000. What is the noncontrolling interest in the 2020 income of the subsidiary
Answer:
Park Co and San Marino Co.
The noncontrolling interest in the 2020 income of the subsidiary is:
= $270,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculation:
Interest in San Marino Co. = 80%
Cost of 2020 Inventory sold by San Marino to Park = $1,080,000
Sales value of the inventory = $1,800,000
Profit element = $720,000 ($1,800,000 - $1,080,000)
Sales value of unsold inventory = $750,000
Profit element in unsold inventory = $750,00/$1,800,000 * $720,000
= $300,000
Net income of San Marino for 2020 = $1,350,000
Less profit element in unsold inventory 300,000
Adjusted net income = $1,050,000
Non-controlling interest (20%) 210,000 (20% of $1,050,000)
Non-controlling interest (20%) in
unsold inventory = 60,000
Total net income attributable to
Non-controlling interest $270,000
(which is equal to 20% of the subsidiary's net income)
Aloma, a university graduate who started a successful business, wants to start an endowment in her name that will provide scholarships to CE students. She wants the scholarship to provide $11,000 per year and expects the first one to be awarded on the day she fulfills the endowment obligation. If Aloma plans to donate $250,000, what rate of return must the university realize in order to award the annual scholarship forever
Answer:
the rate of return is 4.60%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of return is shown below;
= Scholarship provided per year ÷ (Expected donated amount - Scholarship provided per year)
= $11,000 ÷ ($250000 - $11,000)
= $11,000 ÷ $239,000
= 4.60%
Hence, the rate of return is 4.60%

A manufacturing process consists of three processes. Step 1 requires 10 minutes per unit, step 2 requires 6 minutes per unit and step 3 requires 7 minutes per unit. 40% of units that complete the third step require rework, which means those units must start the process over at step 2 (processing times are the same for units being reworked) and rework is always successful. Demand at the shop is 0.4 units per minute.What is the capacity of the shop (in units per units per minute)?
Answer: 0.1 units per minute
Explanation:
Step 1 time = 10 minutes per unit
Step 2 time = 6 minutes + (0.4 * 6 minutes for those units reworked)
= 8.4 minutes
Step 3 time = 7 minutes + (0.4 * 7 minutes for those units reworked)
= 9.8 minutes
Step 1 will determine the process capacity because it is the one that takes the most time and therefore is the bottleneck process.
Capacity of process = 1 / Bottleneck minutes
= 1 / 10
= 0.1 units per minute
Discuss the negative impact of piracy on businesses.
Robert and Becca file jointly. They have taxable income of $60,000 in 2020 (before considering any capital gains or losses). They have a long-term capital gain of $28,000 and a long-term capital loss of $17,000 on sales of stock in the current year. What will their capital gains tax be in the current year

Ruben's 2001 salary in 2006 dollars is
Answer:
Ruben's 2001 salary in 2006 dollars is $75,000.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Ruben's 2001 salary = $60,000
Consumer price index in 2001 = 177
Consumer price index in 2006 = 221.25
Therefore, wee have:
Ruben's 2001 salary in 2006 dollars = Ruben's 2001 salary * (Consumer price index in 2006 / Consumer price index in 2001) ............... (1)
Substituting the relevant valued into equation (1), we have:
Ruben's 2001 salary in 2006 dollars = $60,000 * (221.25 / 177) = $75,000
Therefore, Ruben's 2001 salary in 2006 dollars is $75,000. This indicates that Reuben's purchasing power increased between 2001 and 2006.

c. Standard costs allow management to motivate employees by comparing their performance to what it would be under perfect conditions.
2. What are some possible drawbacks to using standard costs that Sarah might consider? Check all that apply.
a. Since standards are impossible to attain, they are a distraction from the work at hand.
b. Since standards never change, they do not reflect reality.
c. Standards limit operating improvements because employees may be discouraged from improving beyond the standards.
d. Employees may focus only on efficiency improvement and their own operations rather than considering the larger objectives of the organization.
e. Standards may become "stale" in a dynamic manufacturing environment.
Answer:
1. The reason Sarah might want to use standard costs to compare with her actual costs is:
a. Management can evaluate the differences between standard costs and actual costs to focus on correcting the cost variances.
2. Drawbacks of using Standard Costs are:
c. Standards limit operating improvements because employees may be discouraged from improving beyond the standards.
d. Employees may focus only on efficiency improvement and their own operations rather than considering the larger objectives of the organization.
e. Standards may become "stale" in a dynamic manufacturing environment.
Explanation:
Standard costs encourage the pursuit of management goals. They are the costs that should be under a particular type of circumstances. They are usually compared with actual costs to determine their differences or variances. Their use helps management to focus on how to improve overall performance.
The following materials standards have been established for a particular product at Zoom Industries: Standard quantity per unit of output 6.3 pounds Standard price $15.10 per pound The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual materials purchased 7,650 pounds Actual cost of materials purchased $64,780 Actual materials used in production 7,150 pounds Actual output 890 units The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. What is the materials quantity variance for the month
Answer:
the material quantity variance is $23,299.30 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:
= (standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard rate
= (6.3 × 890 - 7,150) × $15.10
= (5,607 - 7,150) × $15.10
= $23,299.30 unfavorable
Hence, the material quantity variance is $23,299.30 unfavorable
You manage an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 10% and an expected standard deviation of 15%. The rate on Treasury bills (risk-free rate) is 5%. Your client chooses to invest $60,000 of her portfolio in your equity fund and $40,000 in a T-bill money market fund. The expected return and standard deviation of your client's overall portfolio is:__________ a. 11.0% and 9.0% b. 10.0% and 8.4% c. 15.0% and 9.0% d. 5.0% and 15.0%
Answer:
Portfolio Mean return = 11%
Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%
Option a is the correct answer
Explanation:
The mean return of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each security in the portfolio by the mean return of that security and adding the products for each security. The formula for two asset or security portfolio return (mean) can be written as follows,
Portfolio Mean = wA * rA + wB * rB
Where,
w represents the weight of each security r represents the mean return of each security
The return on the equity fund = risk free rate + risk premium
The return on the equity fund = 5% + 10% = 15%
Portfolio Mean return = 60% * 15% + 40% * 5%
Portfolio Mean return = 11%
The standard deviation is a measure of the total risk. The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of two securities, one of which is a risk free security and has zero standard deviation, can be calculated as follows,
Portfolio Stdev = Weight of risky security * Standard deviation of risky security
Portfolio Stdev = 0.6 * 0.15
Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%

Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
First of all, this question is not complete and lacks the group of answer choices. However, I have found that question with complete options on the internet.
So,
The Correct option is: D
Option D = Not enough information
Reasoning:
For overestimated or underestimated or not full information required i.e. cost under traditional method and cost under activity based cost method , both information required for compare methods cost under each method.
Under Activity base costing all indirect cost is applied as per activities use by each product but under traditional method only one key factor use for applied overheads i.e. direct labor hours or machine hours etc.

The following production data were taken from the records of the Finishing Department for June:
Inventory in process, June 1, 30% completed 4,000 units
Completed units during June 65,000 units
Ending inventory, 60% completed 65,000 units
The number of materials equivalent units of production in the June 30 Finishing Department inventory, assuming that the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories and materials were added at the beginning of the process, is:______
Answer:
the equivalent units of production related to the material is 126,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units of production related to the material is shown below:
= Completed units + Ending inventory units - Beginning inventory units.
= 65,000 units + 65,000 units - 4,000 units
= 126,000 units
hence, the equivalent units of production related to the material is 126,000 units
There are 3 servers in the checkout area. The interarrival time of customers is 2 minutes. The processing time is 5 minutes. The coefficients of variation for the arrival process and the service process are 1 and 0.85 respectively. What will be the impact on the average number of customers in service if one more server is added
Answer:
As the one more server is added the Average number of customers in service reduces from ( 5.585 to 3.019 ) which is a reduction of 2.566
Explanation:
interval time of customers ( a ) = 2 minutes
processing time ( p ) = 5 minutes
coefficient of variation for arrival process ( Cva ) = 1
coefficient of variation for service process ( Cvp ) = 0.85
Determine the impact on the average number of customers in service if one more server is added
For three (3) servers ( m ) we will have
flow rate = 1 / a = 1/2 = 0.5
x = ( 2 (m+1) -1 ) ^0.5
where m = 3 ( number of servers )
hence X = 2.645
now lets determine
i) utilization = p / (m*a). where p = 5 , m = 3 , a = 2
hence utilization ( u ) = 0.833 , 1 - u = 1 - 0.833 = 0.167
ii) Time spent in queue
time spent in queue = 6.17 minutes
number of customers been served = mu = 3 * 0.833 = 2.500
number of customers waiting to be served = waiting time / arrival time
= 6.17 / 2 = 3.085
iii) Average customer in queue = number of customers been serviced + number of customers waiting to be served = 2.5 + 3.085 = 5.585
For 4 servers ( m = 4 )
x = ( 2 (m+1) -1 ) ^0.5
= ( 2 ( 5 ) - 1 ) ^ 0.5 = 3
utilization = p / (m*a). where p = 5 , m = 4 , a = 2
hence utilization = 0.625 ,
Time spent in queue = 1.039 minutes ( using equation 2 )
number of customers been serviced = m* u = 2.5
number of customers waiting to be served = waiting time / arrival time
= 1.039 / 2 = 0.520
Average customer in queue = number of customers been serviced + number of customers waiting to be served = 2.5 + 0.520 = 3.019
hence as the one more server is added the Average number of customers in service reduces from ( 5.585 to 3.019 ) which is a reduction of 2.566

A Rhode Island company produces communion wafers for churches around the country and the world. The little company produces a lot of wafers, several hundred million per year. When in production, the process produces wafers at the rate of 112 per second. During this production process, the wafers must spend 12 minutes passing through a cooling tube.
Required:
How many wafers does the cooling tube hold on average when in production?
Answer:
80,640 wafers
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many wafers does the cooling tube hold on average when in production
Using this formula
I = R x T
Where,
R = 112 wafers per second x 60
R = 6720 wafers per minute
T = 12 minutes
Let compute for I using the formula aboi
I = 6720 x 12
I = 80,640 wafers
Therefore How many wafers does the cooling tube hold on average when in production are 80,640 wafers

High owns 60% of Low. In 2019, Low sold inventory (cost $70,000) to High for $100,000. 40% of this inventory was not sold to third parties by High until 2020. In 2020, Low sold inventory (cost $72,000) to High for $120,000. Of this inventory, $50,000 was not sold to third parties by High until 2021. In 2020, Low reports $70,000 of net income. What is the noncontrolling interest in 2020 income of Low. $24,800 $31,200 $37,200 $46,800
Answer: $24800
Explanation:
To calculate the noncontrolling interest in 2020 income of Low goes thus:
Profit reported by Low in 2020 = $70000
Add: Profit in opening stock that isn't sold to third party = ($100,000 × 40%) × 30% = $12,000
Less Profit in Opening stock that's not sold to third party = $50000 ×40% =$20000
The Total Profit will be:
= $70000 + $12000 - $20000
= $62000
Then, the noncontrolling interest in 2020 income of Low will be:
= $62000 × 40%
= $62000 × 0.4
= $24800
The bond, which has a $1,000 face value and a coupon rate equal to 10 percent, matures in six years. Interest is paid every six months; the next interest payment is scheduled for six months from today. Assuming the yield on similar risk investments is 14 percent, calculate the current market value (price) of the bond.
Answer:
Market value of bond = 841.14
Explanation:
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate.
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Semi annual interest payment
= 10% × 1,000× 1/2 = 50
PV of interest payment
A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r- semi-annual yield = 14%/2 = 7%
n- 6× 2 = 12
= 50× (1-(1.07^(-12)/0.07
= 397.13
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = $1000 × (1.07)^(-12)
= 444.011
Step 3
Price of bond
= 397.13 +444.01
=841.14
Market value of bond = 841.14
