Which of the following statements about real and nominal interest rates is correct? A. An increase in the real interest rate is necessarily accompanied by either an increase in the nominal interest rate, an increase in the inflation rate, or both. B. When the inflation rate is positive, the nominal interest rate is necessarily greater than the real interest rate. C. When the nominal interest rate is rising, the real interest rate is necessarily rising; when the nominal interest rate is falling, the real interest rate is necessarily falling. D. If the nominal interest rate is 4 percent and the inflation rate is 3 percent, then the real interest rate is 7 percent.
Answer:
B. When the inflation rate is positive, the nominal interest rate is necessarily greater than the real interest rate.
Explanation:
A real interest rate can be regarded as
an interest rate that adjustment has been made on in order to remove the effects of inflation so that the real cost of funds to the borrower as well as real yield to the lender can be reflected. A nominal interest rate on the other hand can be regarded as interest rates calculated before consideration of inflation. It should be noted that When the inflation rate is positive, the nominal interest rate is necessarily greater than the real interest rate.
A semiprofessional baseball team near your town plays two home games each month at the local baseball park. The team splits the concessions 50/50 with the city but keeps all the revenue from ticket sales. The city charges the team $500 each month for the three-month season. The team pays the players and manager a total of $2500 each month. The team charges $10 for each ticket, and the average customer spends $6 at the concession stand. Attendance averages 100 people at each home game.
The team earns an average of $_________ in revenue for each game and $_____________ of revenue each season. With total costs of $___________ each season, the team finishes the season with $____________ of profit.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Amount charges for each ticket = $10
The average customer spends $6 at the concession stand but the team splits the concessions 50/50 with the city. Therefore, the team gets $6/2 = $3 from concession.
Revenue gotten per customer = $10 + $3 = $13
Average attendance = 100
Total revenue per game = $13 × 100 = $1300
Since there are 2 matches every months and it's a three months season, the number of home matches player will be: = 2 × 3 = 6. Therefore, total revenue will be:
= $1300 × 6
= $7800
The city charges the team $500 each month for the three-month season. The team pays the players and manager a total of $2500 each month. Therefore, Total cost = (500 × 3) + (2500 × 3)
= 1500 + 7500
= 9000
Profit/Loss = Revenue - Cost
= 7800 - 900
= 1200
Loss of $1200
The team earns an average of ($1300) in revenue for each game and ($7800) of revenue each season. With total costs of ($9000) each season, the team finishes the season with ($1200) as loss.

Required: a. Adams Company's production cycle starts in Department A. The following information is available for July: Units Work in process, July 1 (60% complete) 71,000 Started in July 360,000 Work in process, July 31 (20% complete) 39,000 Materials are added at the beginning of the process in Department A. Using the weighted-average method, what are the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs for the month of July, respectively
Answer:
materials = 431,000 units and
conversion = 399,800 units
Explanation:
Note that Adams Company uses weighted-average method. This means we calculate equivalent units of production on the number of physical units completed and transferred and units in ending inventory.
Step 1 : Determine units completed and transferred
Units completed and transferred = Opening Inventory + Units Started - Ending Inventory
= 71,000 + 360,000 - 39,000
= 392,000
Step 2 : Determine equivalent units of production
Materials
Units completed and transferred (392,000 x 100%) = 392,000
Units in ending inventory (39,000 x 100%) = 39,000
Total equivalent units of production = 431,000
Conversion
Units completed and transferred (392,000 x 100%) = 392,000
Units in ending inventory (39,000 x 20%) = 7,800
Total equivalent units of production = 399,800
Watson Oil recently reported (in millions) $8,250 of sales, $5,750 of operating costs. The company had $3,200 of outstanding bonds that carry a 5% interest rate, and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 35%. In order to sustain its operations and thus generate future sales and cash flows, the firm was required to make $600 of capital expenditures on operating long-term assets and to invest $300 in net operating working capital. By how much did the firm's net income exceed its free cash flow
Answer:
$796
Explanation:
The computation of the excess amount is shown below:
As we know that
Free cash flows = Net Income + Depreciation + Interest (1-tax) - Capital expenditures +- changes in Working capital
Now the difference could be determined by the following formula
-Depreciation - interest (1-tax) + capital expenditure + changes in Working capital
= -$650 - 0.05 × $3,200 × (1 - 0.35) + $1,250 + $300
= $796

Dehner Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total direct labor-hours 47,000 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 202,100 Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $ 2.00 Recently, Job P951 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job 50 Total direct labor-hours 100 Direct materials $ 850 Direct labor cost $ 4,700 The total job cost for Job P951 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Total cost= $6,180
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (202,100/47,000) + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.3 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 6.3*100
Allocated MOH= 630
Finally, the total cost:
Total cost= 850 + 4,700 + 630
Total cost= $6,180

Brown Cow Dairy uses the aging approach to estimate bad debt expense. The ending balance of each account receivable is aged on the basis of three time periods as follows:
(1) not yet due, $13,000;
(2) up to 120 days past due, $6,000; and
(3) more than 120 days past due, $5,500. Experience has shown that for each age group, the average loss rate on the amount of the receivables at year-end due to uncollectibility is
(1) 2 percent,
(2) 12 percent, and
(3) 30 percent, respectively.
At December 31 (end of the current year), the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is $710 (credit) before the end-of-period adjusting entry is made. Data during the current year follow:
a. During December, an Account Receivable (Patty's Bake Shop) of $660 from a prior sale was determined to be uncollectible; therefore, it was written off immediately as a bad debt.
b. On December 31, the appropriate adjusting entry for the year was recorded.
Required:
1. Give the required journal entries for the two items listed above.
2. Show how the amounts related to Accounts Receivable and Bad Debt Expense would be reported on the income statement and balance sheet for the current year. Disregard income tax considerations.
Answer:
1. Journal Entries :
a. Bad Debt Expense (Dr.) $660
Accounts Receivable (Cr.) $660
2. Accounts receivable Ending Balance :
Not yet due $13,000 * 98% = 12,740
Up to 120 days $6000 * 88% = 5280
More than 120 days $5500 * 70% = 3850
Totals = 21,870
Bad debt expense Ending balance :
Not yet due $13,000 * 2% = $260
Up to 120 days $6000 * 12% = $720
More than 120 days $5500 * 30% = $1,650
Totals = 2630
Explanation:
Bad debt expense is the expected uncollectible amount from accounts receivable. Usually company maintains an allowance for doubtful debt. Brown cow dairy uses aging approach for estimating bad debts of the company. The uncollectible amount is expensed out in Income Statement and asset is decreased in Balance Sheet.
Sheridan Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,322,900 and retained earnings of $4,854,000 at December 31, 2020. Sheridan later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $106,470 and $36,820, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings. Corrected cost of goods sold $enter a dollar amount Corrected 12/31/20 retained earnings $enter a dollar amount
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
With regard to the above information,
1. Corrected cost of goods sold is computed as
= Cost of goods sold + Overstated ending inventories 2019 - overstated ending inventories 2020
= $1,322,900 + $106,470 - $36,820
= $1,253,250
2. Corrected 12/31/2020 retained earnings is computed as
= Retained earnings DEC 2020 - overstated ending inventories 2020
= $4,854,000 - $36,820
= $4,817,180
You just got a job and plan to save for the college expenses for your kids. You have a son and a daughter. Your son is 4 years old, and your daughter is only 1 year old. Both of them plan to go to a four-year college at the age of 18. The estimated college expense is about $40,000 per year. Assume you plan to invest into a portfolio that offers you return about 6% per year until your daughter is graduated from college. How much money do you need to save every year if your first saving is in one year
Answer:
$11,508.25
Explanation:
your son will start college in 14 years, and the present value of his college tuition = $40,000 x 3.4651 (PVIFA, 6%, 4 periods) = $138,604
your daughter will start college in 17 years, so you need in today's dollars $138,604
you will need to save enough money to cover both tuitions;
money required to cover your son's tuition = $138,604 / 21.015 (FVIFA, 6%, 14 periods) = $6,595.48
money required to cover your daughter's tuition = $138,604 / 28.213 (FVIFA, 6%, 14 periods) = $4,912.77
total annual savings = $11,508.25

Lowell Corporation paid $80,000 to acquire all of Boston Company's net assets. Boston reported assets with a book value of $60,000 and fair value of $98,000 and liabilities with a book value and fair value of $23,000 on the date of combination. Lowell also paid $3,000 to a search firm for finder's fees related to the acquisition. What amount will be recorded as goodwill by Lowell Corporation while recording its investment in Boston
Answer:
Lowell Corporation
The amount that will be recorded as goodwill by Lowell Corporation to record its investment in Boston is:
= $5,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Investment in Boston Company = $83,000
Fair value of assets = $98,000
Fair value of liabilities 23,000
Net value of assets = $75,000
Goodwill = $5,000 ($80,000 - $75,000)
b) Acquired Goodwill is the difference between the cost of purchasing Boston Company ($80,000) and the net identifiable assets of Boston Company ($75,000). The net identifiable assets are calculated by subtracting the fair value of the liabilities from the fair value of the assets.
Compute cost of goods sold for the period using the following information. Finished goods inventory, beginning $ 354,000 Work in process inventory, beginning 83,000 Work in process inventory, ending 77,100 Cost of goods manufactured 944,200 Finished goods inventory, ending 292,000
Answer:
the cost of goods sold is $1,006,200
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of goods sold = Opening finished goods + cost of goods manufactured - closing finished goods
= $354,000 + $944,200 - $292,000
= $1,006,200
Hence, the cost of goods sold is $1,006,200

You just won a lottery that promises to pay you $1 million exactly 10 years from today. Because the $1 million payment is guaranteed by the state in which you live, opportunities exist to sell the claim today for an immediate lump-sum cash payment. What is the least you will sell your claim for if you could earn 8.73 % on similar-risk investments during the 10-year period
Answer:
The minimum price is $434,214.74.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value= $1,000,000
Number of periods= 10 years
Discount rate= 8.73%
The minimum price of the prize is the present value of the payment. To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV /(1 + i)^n
PV= 1,000,000 / (1.087^10)
PV= $434,214.74
The minimum price is $434,214.74.

Rupesh wants to buy a new BMW priced at $54,000. He makes a down payment of 20% of the original price. He also trades-in his old car for $10,000. (This means he sells the old car to the dealer for $10,000). For the balance, Rupesh takes a 60-month car loan at an interest rate of 3.45%. What will be the approximate payment at the end of every month
Answer:
The approximate payment at the end of every month will be $603.22.
Explanation:
Since the payment is going to be made at the end of every month, this can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value or the balance = Price of BMW - Down payment - Old car sales amount = $54,000 - ($54,000 * 20%) - $10,000 = $33,200
P = Monthly payment = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 3.45% / 12 = 0.0345 /
12 = 0.002875
n = number of months = 60
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for P, we have:
$33,200 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.002875))^60) / 0.002875)
$33,200 = P * 55.0377058660197
P = $33,200 / 55.0377058660197
P = $603.22
Therefore, the approximate payment at the end of every month will be $603.22.
For each hypothetical scenario, indicate whether the tariff described is more likely a protective tariff or a revenue tariff.
a. In response to concerns from business leaders, a legislator has designed a new tariff on raw materials used by many manufacturing firms. The legislator felt the new tariff was necessary based on input from the private sector that new discoveries of natural re
sources abroad would threaten to put domestic producers of raw materials out of business. To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $1,500 on every crate of the imported goods plus an additional 6% of the total value of the imported goods.
b. In an effort to balance next year's budget, a senator has proposed a new tariff. She proposed the new tariff with a goal of raising a total of $100 million, To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $2,000 on every ton that is imported.

To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $1,500 on every crate of the imported goods plus an additional 6% of the total value of the imported goods.
protective tariff since it is designed to protect domestic industries from competition of out of state producers. It is designed to increase the price of imported goods.b. In an effort to balance next year's budget, a senator has proposed a new tariff. She proposed the new tariff with a goal of raising a total of $100 million, To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $2,000 on every ton that is imported.
revenue tariff since its main purpose is to increase government revenue, not to protect domestic industries.The first scenario describes protective tariff whereas the second scenario explains revenue tariff.
What is protective and revenue tariff?In international trade, protective tariffs are applied on the imported goods to protect and prevent the domestic industries from competition.
In scenario a, a tariff of $1,500 and additional of 6% was charged on imported goods to protect the domestic producers. Therefore the first scenario describes protective tariff.
The revenue tariff on the other hand refers to a tariff that is designed with an intention to increase revenues.
The scenario b describes a tariff that was applied to reach the target revenue of $100 million. Therefore it is a revenue tariff.

A small town is considering paving paradise hotel to put up a parking lot. The land will cost $25,000 and the construction of the lot is estimated to be $150,000. Each year, costs associated with the parking lot are estimated to be $17,500. The income from the lot is expected to be $18,000 the first year and increase by $3,500 each year for the 12 year life of the lot. Determine the B/C ratio if interest rate is 12%. [4 points]
Answer:
0.71
Explanation:
The benefit cost ratio is used to determine the profitability of an investor. It is determined by dividing the present value of benefit by the present value of cost
Benefit cost ratio (BC) = present value of benefits / present value of costs
if BC is greater than 1, the project is profitable
If BC is less than 1, the project is not profitable
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Present value of the benefits
Cash flow in year 1 = $18,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $18,000 + 3500 = $21500
Cash flow in year 3 = $18,000 + (3500 x 2) = $25,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $18,000 + (3500 x 3) = $28500
Cash flow in year 5 = $18,000 + (3500 x 4) = $32,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $18,000 + (3500 x 5) = $35,500
Cash flow in year 7 = $18,000 + (3500 x 6) = $39,000
Cash flow in year 8 = $18,000 + (3500 x 7) = $42,500
Cash flow in year 9 = $18,000 + (3500 x 8) = $46,000
Cash flow in year 10 = $18,000 + (3500 x 9) = $49500
Cash flow in year 11 = $18,000 + (3500 x 10) = $53,000
Cash flow in year 12 = $18,000 + (3500 x 11) = $56,500
I = 12 %
PV = $202,331.70
Present value of the cost
Cash flow in year 0 = $25,000 + $150,000 = $175,000
Cash flow in year 1 to 12 = $17,500.
I = 12 %
PV = $283,401.55
B/C ratio = $202,331.70 / $283,401.55 = 0.71

On January 1, 2021, Jasperse Corporation leased equipment under a finance lease designed to earn the lessor a 10% rate of return for providing long-term financing. The lease agreement specified ten annual payments of $90,000 beginning January 1, and each December 31 thereafter through 2029. A 10-year service agreement was scheduled to provide maintenance of the equipment as required for a fee of $8,000 per year. Insurance premiums of $7,000 annually are related to the equipment. Both amounts were to be paid by the lessor and lease payments reflect both expenditures.
Required:
At what amount will Jasperse record a right-of-use asset?
Answer:
$554,320
Explanation:
Annual payment = $90,000
Rate = 10%
Time period = 10 years
Maintenance of equipment = $8,000
PVAD of $1(n = 10, i=11) = 6.76
Lease payment = $90,000 - $8,000 = $82,000
Amount of Right-of-use asset = Lease payment * PVAD of $1
Amount of Right-of-use asset = $82,000 * 6.76
Amount of Right-of-use asset = $554,320
So, Jasperse will record $554,320 as a right-of-use asset amount.
