Which of the following statements is most correct? a. All else equal, if a bond’s yield to maturity increases, its price will fall. b. All else equal, if a bond is down graded by the rating agencies its yield to maturity will increase. c. If a firm has two bond issues that are identical except one is subordinate to the other, the subordinate issue will have a higher yield to maturity than the other issue. d. A B and C are correct. e. None of the above are correct

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: d. A B and C are correct.

Explanation:

A bond's price and it's Yield to Maturity (YTM) are inversely related such that when Yield to Maturity rises, the price of the bond falls. This is a because a higher YTM signifies that the bond is riskier so it will compensate by being cheaper.

If a bond is downgraded by Ratings agencies then it means that the bond is now riskier. As it is riskier investors will charge more interest for taking on the risk. The interest is the YTM and so it rises.

A Subordinate bond means that if the company were to go into bankruptcy for instance, the Subordinate bond would only be paid for after the bond that is not Subordinated. This means that there is a chance that Subordinate bond holders will not get anything from the liquidation of the company. Investors will therefore charge a higher YTM to cater for the risk that this happens.

Hubert: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Kate: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Manuel: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time.

Answers

The complete part of the question.

The price of coffee fell sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations

Answer:

Kate, Manuel and Poornima

Explanation:

Given that, the price of coffee fell but the quantity sold remained the same.

1. Hubert: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic.

If an elastic demand shifts the demand curve will move to the left. This would cause both prices as well as quantity to decline. So HUBERT's statement is not correct.

2. Kate: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic.

This can be true, because of the inelastic supply curve. If the supply curve is an inelastic vertical line then a fall in demand will not affect quantity while the price will fall. So, KATE's statement can be right.

3. Manuel: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time.

If there is a decrease in the demand curve, it will shift to the left. Now, if there is an increase in the supply by the same amount the price will fall but quantity will remain the same. So, MANUEL's statement is right.

4. Poornima: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic.

Here, the rightward shift in the supply curve will cause the price to fall but quantity will remain the same. So, POORNIMA's statement is right.

5. Shen: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic.

if the demand curve is unitary elastic, an increase in supply will cause the price to fall and quantity to increase. So, SHEN's statement is not correct.

Vargas Company uses the perpetual inventory method. Vargas purchased 800 units of inventory that cost $9.00 each. At a later date the company purchased an additional 1,200 units of inventory that cost $10.00 each. Vargas sold 900 units of inventory for $13.00. If Vargas uses a FIFO cost flow method, the amount of cost of goods sold appearing on the income statement will be:

Answers

Answer:

$8200

Explanation:

FIFO means first in first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

The cost of the 900 units sold, would be:

800 x 9 = $7200

100 × $10 = $1000

Total = $8200

Suppose a consumer has the following utility function defined over the 2 goods X and Y: a. If this consumer originally consumed 10 units of X and 24 units of Y, and if the consumption of X were increased to 12 units, how much Y would be would the consumer be willing to give up and maintain the initial level of satisfaction

Answers

Answer:

Y = 22 units (Approx)

Explanation:

Note:

The utility function is not given, the utility function is as follows.

U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

So,

U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

When X = 10 and Y = 24 units

U(10 ,24) = 2(10) + [tex]16(24)^{1/2}[/tex]

U(10 ,24) = 98.4

U(10 ,24) = 99 Units (Approx)

So,

U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

When X = 12 Find Y

99 units = 2(12) + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

75 = [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

Y = 21.97

Y = 22 units (Approx)

A package delivery service uses vans and employees to deliver the maximum number of packages given a fixed budget. The last van added 600 packages to total output, while the last employee added 500 packages. If vans cost exist400 per week and employees earn exist300 per firm:________.
a. could deliver more packages with the same budget by using more employees and fewer Vans
b. could deliver more packages the same budget by using more vans and fewer with employees
c. use more vans and fewer employees because the last dollars spent on vans added more to total output than the last dollar spent on employees
d. is delivering the maximum number of packages given the fixed budget
e. both b and c

Answers

Answer: e. both b and c

Explanation:

Van delivered 600 per week and cost $400.

The cost per package for the Van is;

= 600/400

= $1.5 per package

Employees delivered 500 and cost $300 which means the cost per package is;

= 500/300

= $1.67 per package.

The results show that it costs more to deliver with Employees ($1.67) than with the Vans ($1.5). Using more Vans will therefore allow for more packages to be delivered using a fixed budget as the last dollar spent on Vans gave more output than the last dollar spent on Employees.

Which of the following is a community lifeline

Answers

Answer:

Safety and security

food, water, and shelter

health and medical

power and fuel

communications and transport

Explanation:

A lifeline allows business and government structures to continue to operate and is beneficial to human health and financial stability. Lifelines are perhaps the most important resources in the community that allow all other facets of society to work when balanced. The interconnected network of resources, services, and securities ( food, water, and shelter, medical care, communications facilities, etc) that provide lifeline services is used on a daily basis to facilitate the community's regularly occurring needs and give all other elements of society to perform efficiently.

Communications are the Community's lifeline. Safety and security, health and medical care, communications, hazardous materials, food, water, shelter, energy (power & fuel), and transportation are the seven community lifelines that FEMA has defined. Thus, option C is correct.

The Community Lifelines idea from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is a framework for event management that gives emergency managers a reporting system to swiftly stabilize a community after a disaster.

Safety and security, health and medical care, communications, hazardous materials, food, water, shelter, energy (power & fuel), and transportation are the seven community lifelines that FEMA has defined. It is a sign that lives are in danger, and daily routines and food chains are disturbed, if any of these Lifelines go down due to a disaster or emergency.

If a company uses a predetermined rate for absorbing manufacturing overhead, the volume variance is the: Group of answer choices a. Underapplied or overapplied variable cost element of overhead. b. Underapplied or overapplied fixed cost element of overhead. c. Difference in budgeted costs and actual costs of fixed overhead items. d. Difference in budgeted costs and actual costs of variable overhead items.

Answers

Answer: c. Difference in budgeted costs and actual costs of fixed overhead items.

Explanation:

If a company uses a Predetermined rate for Manufacturing Overhead this means that they have budgeted a certain cost of overhead that they believe will be sufficient for production. This is usually possible for fixed overhead items.

The Variance therefore would be the difference between this budgeted figure and the actual figure for the fixed Overhead items.

On 12/31/X4, Zoom, LLC, reported a $55,500 loss on its books. The items included in the loss computation were $27,000 in sales revenue, $12,000 in qualified dividends, $19,000 in cost of goods sold, $47,000 in charitable contributions, $17,000 in employee wages, and $11,500 of rent expense. How much ordinary business income (loss) will Zoom report on its X4 return

Answers

Answer:Ordinary Business income loss =-$20,500.

Explanation:

Ordinary business Expenses are the expenses generally accepted according to the  industry standards associated with running of a business.

Here, the ordinary business expenses for Zoom  include

cost of good sold= $19,-000

employee wages= $17,000

a. obtain damages from HLI.
b. recover nothing.
c. set aside the settlement withHLI.

Answers

Answer: set aside the settlement withHLI.

Explanation:

From the question, Linea, who is an employee of Hard Labor Industries (HLI), is injured in a work-related accident and based on the diagnosis of Newt, who is a doctor, Linea accepts $50,000 from HLI and waives the right to future claims.

We are also informed that Newt's diagnosis later proves to have been wrong. In terms of the impact on Linea's agreement with HLI, Newt's mis-diagnosis is to set aside the settlement with HLI.

This will be necessary to make them understand that it was a mistake and make a settlement with Hard Labor Industries so that Linea won't be affected as they make think she has it planned in order to collect money from them so the hospital should make a settlement.

Answers

Answer:

Assets turnover ratio= 1.64 times

Explanation:

The asset turnover is the he amount of sales generated by one dollar invested in asset. it measures how efficient the business is in generating sales using assets

Assets turnover ratio = net sales / Average assets

Asset at the beginning of year 2016

=26,000  + 56,000 +    79,000 +     8,000  + 180,000 = 349 ,000

Asset at the end of year 2016

$28,000  + 58,000 +    76,000  +  14,000 +  11,000= 187 ,000

Average assets = Opening value of asset+ closing value of assets/2

= 349 ,000 + 187 ,000= 268 ,000

Assets turnover ratio = net sales / Average assets

=440000/268,000= 1.64 times

Nathan’s Athletic Apparel has 2,000 shares of 5%, $100 par value preferred stock the company issued at the beginning of 2017. All remaining shares are common stock. The company was not able to pay dividends in 2017, but plans to pay dividends of $22,000 in 2018.Required: 1. & 2. Assuming the preferred stock is cumulative and noncumulative, how much of the $22,000 dividend will be paid to preferred stockholders and how much will be paid to common stockholders in 2018? Cumlative Non Cumlativepreferred Dividends for 2018 preferred Dividends in arrears for 2017 Remaining Dividends to common stockholders Total Dividens:

Answers

Answer:

1.

Preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $20000

Common stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $2000

2.

Preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $10000

Common stock dividends to be paid in 2018 =  $12000

Explanation:

The preferred stock dividends are always paid before the common stock dividends.

Cumulative preferred stock is the stock which accumulates or accrues dividends if the dividends are partially paid or not paid at all in a particular year. These dividends are accrued and are required to be paid by the company whenever it declares dividends.

Non cumulative preferred stock does not accrue or accumulates dividends. Thus, if dividends are not paid in a particular year, the company has no obligation to pay these dividends ever in the future.

1.

If the preferred stock is assumed to be cumulative, then the dividends in arrears for 2017 will be paid in 2018 along with dividends for 2018 on preferred stock before paying the common stock holders.

Preferred stock dividend per year = 2000 * 100 * 0.05  

Preferred stock dividend per year = $10000

Preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = 10000 + 10000 = $20000

Common stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = 22000 - 20000 = $2000

2.

If the preferred stock is assumed to be non cumulative, then the dividends in arrears for 2017 will not be paid in 2018. Only the dividends for 2018 on preferred stock will be paid before paying the common stock holders.

Preferred stock dividend per year = 2000 * 100 * 0.05  

Preferred stock dividend per year = $10000

Preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $10000

Common stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = 22000 - 10000 = $12000

In Ricci v. DeStefano, Ricci, a white firefighter, took and passed the City of New Haven firefighter's test, required of all applicants for promotion in the city's fire department. The test was thrown out when it was discovered that minorities scored poorly and the city feared a disparate impact-based lawsuit. How did the court rule?
A) An employer may not simply disregard a test based on unwanted results unless the test is shown to be biased or deficient.
B) Even though the test was prepared by a professional testing organization, the city has the right to reject the test results if minorities do not score adequately
C) Deliberately oversampling minorities to seek to create a fair test is irrelevant if the test results show that minorities still scored poorly
D) Ricci, as a member of the white majority, had no grounds to sue when the city was seeking the legitimate aim of nondiscrimination

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A. In Ricci v. DeStefano, the Supreme Court ruled that an employer may not simply disregard a test based on unwanted results unless the test is shown to be biased or deficient.

Explanation:

Ricci v. DeStefano is a Supreme Court ruling of 2009, after a lawsuit by nineteen firefighters who claimed to have been discriminated against in terms of career development.  They denounced that they had been discriminated after having passed the admission tests and still had not been promoted, since no African-American candidate had passed the tests. They also denounced that they had not been promoted because the Fire Department did not want to promote a group of new recruits without including within it any member of racial minorities.

Finally, the Supreme Court established that said procedure violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, since in the case equal access to employment was not guaranteed (in this case, favoring minorities over white firefighters), for set different demands for purely racial reasons.

Sales are 15% cash and 85% on credit. All credit sales are collected in the month following the sale. The June 30 balance sheet includes balances of $15,000 in cash: $44,000 in accounts receivable; $3,500 in accounts payable; and a $4,000 balance in loans payable. A minimum cash balance of $15,000 is required. Loans are obtained at the end of any month when a cash shortage occurs. Interest is 1% per month based on the beginning-of-the-month loan balance and is paid at each month-end. If an excess balance of cash exists, loans are repaid at the end of the month. Operating expenses are paid in the month incurred and consist of sales commissions (10% of sales), office salaries ($3,000 per month), and rent ($5,500 per month).

Why are adjustments made to the accounting records at the end of the period? (You may select more than one answer. Single click the box with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double click the box with the question mark to empty the box for a wrong answer. Any boxes left with a question mark will be automatically graded as incorrect.)

Answers

Answer: a. To ensure assets and liabilities are reported at appropriate amounts.

b. To ensure the related revenues and expenses are reported in the proper period.

Explanation:

Adjustments must be made at the end of the period to make sure that the figures in the books are the proper and true reflection of the transactions that took place. That way records are neither overstated or understated thereby giving the users of the Accounting records a proper and accurate opportunity to assess the company's financial standing.

Records must also be adjusted to abide by the Accrual basis in accounting which posits that revenues and expenses should be recorded only in the periods when they occured regardless of if money has been received or paid for them. This way it is easier to match Expenses as well as Revenue to their respective periods.  

Assume the following cost of goods sold data for a company: 2018$1417000 20171204000 20161018000 If 2016 is the base year, what is the percentage increase in cost of goods sold from 2016 to 2018

Answers

Answer:

39.19%

Explanation:

2018              $1,417,000

2017              $1,204,000

2016              $1,018,000

if 2016 was the base year, then the % from 2016 to 2018 = ($1,417,000 - $1,018,000) / $1,018,100 = 39.19%

we can also calculate the % increase from 2016 - 2017 and from 2017 - 2018 in a similar manner:

2016 to 2017 increase = ($1,204,000 - $1,018,000) / $1,018,100 = 18.27%

2017 to 2018 increase = ($1,417,000 - $1,204,000) / $1,204,100 = 17.69%

Answers

Answer:

$95

Explanation:

average variable cost per unit = $65

average fixed cost per unit = $300,000 / 10,000 = $30

average total cost per unit = $95

Fixed costs do not vary if the production output changes, while variable costs move in the same direction as the production output, e.g. if output increases, variable costs increase as well.

Fill in the missing numbers for the following income statement. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Sales $668,600
Cost 431,300
Depreciation 103,700
EBIT
Taxes (24%)
Net Income

a. Calculate the OCF. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?

Answers

Answer:

a. $205,236

b. $24,888

Explanation:

a. The computation of OCF is shown below:-

EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation

= $668,600 - $431,300 - $103,700

= $133,600

Net income = EBIT - Taxes

= $133,600 - ($133,600 × 24%)

= $133,600 - $32,064

= $101,536

Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation

= $133,600 - $32,064 + $103,700

= $205,236

b. The computation of depreciation tax shield is shown below:-

Depreciation tax shield = Depreciation × Tax

The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $636,800 in a fixed asset with a useful life of 4 years, straight-line depreciation, no residual value, and an expected total net income of $191,560 for the 4 years is (round to two decimal points)

Answers

Answer: 15.96

Explanation:

The expected rate of return will be the Average income divided by the average cost.

It is stated that the asset has a useful life of 4 years with no residual value so at the end of 4 years it will be worth $0.

The Average Cost/ Value of the Asset is calculated as;

= (Beginning Asset value - Ending Asset Value) / 2

= (600,000 - 0) /2

= 300,000

Total Income of $191,560 for the 4 years so Average income will be,

= 191,560/4

= $47,890

Expected Average Rate of Return = 47,890/300,000

= 15.96%
