Explanation:
Remember, inflation is scenario in an economy in which there occurs a constant rise in the prices of commodities/services in the market, which may lead to a reduction of the money in circulation.
Although, developing countries could use alternative approaches such as taxation or cutting down government expenditure, they do not use this but prefer "inflation solution" because it appears to be the easy way out.
Since, taxes are always lesser than required to run the economies of developing countries they (the government) may not use this approach.

1. Recurring; 2. Variable; 3. Fixed; 4. Sunk;
5. Opportunity; 6. Incremental; 7. Direct; 8. Non-recurring
a. ______costs are those that have occurred in the past and have no relevance to estimates of future costs and revenues.
b. ______costs are incurred because of the use of limited resources such that the ability to use those resources to monetary advantage in another way to foregone.
c. ______costs are those which are unaffected by changes in activity level over a feasible range of operations for the capacity available.
d. ______costs, in total, change in relation to the quantity of output or other measures of activity level.
e. ______cost refers to the additional cost that will result from increasing the output of a system by one or more units.
f. ______cost are those that are repetitive and occur when goods or services are produced on a continuing basis.
g. ______costs can be reasonably measured and allocated to a specific output or work activity.
h. _______costs are not repetitive even though the total expenditure may be cumulative over a relatively short period of time.
Answer:
The correct answers are the following:
a - 4 Sunk
b - 5 Opportunity
c - 3 Fixed
d - 2 Variable
e - 6 Incremental
f - 1 Recurring
g - 7 Direct
h - 8 Non-recurring
Explanation:
a) Sunk costs are those that have already occurred in the past and they can not be recovered again so therefore that they are not relevant at the time of taking decisions regarding the futue.
b) Opportunity costs are those that try to measure and show the sacrifice done at the time of making a decision when that sacrifice represents the best second option that the person could have done.
c) Fixed costs are those that are always the same amount and do not change with the activity level of the production of the company.
d) Variable costs are those that do change with the amount of activity level that the company has during the production process.
e) Incremental costs are those that increase the cost level of the production while the output level increases as well, so they are a concept on the margin.
f) Recurring costs are those that tend to repete continously in the production process so the company already know how much the amount of the cost is.
g) Direct costs are those that the company associates with the production process regarding the commodities and all the primary sources that are needed to produce the good and therefore that they impact directly in the production and in the cost of the final product.
h) Non-recurring costs are those that the company are not familiar with due to the fact that they do not repete often and therefore tend to happen once in a while.

Assume the total cost of a college education will be $395,000 when your child enters college in 18 years. You presently have $65,000 to invest. What annual rate of interest must you earn on your investment to cover the cost of your child’s college education?
Answer:
8.87%
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual rate of interest you must earn on your investment to cover the cost of your child’s college education
Using this formula
FV = PV(1 + r)t
Based on the information we were told to calculate for annual rate of return, this means we would be Solving for r
r = (FV / PV)1 / t– 1
Where,
FV =$300,000
PV=$65,000
=1 / t =1/18 years
Let plug in the formula
r = ($300,000 / $65,000)1/18– 1
r=(4.6153846)^0.055555 -1
r=1.08867-1
r= 0.0887 *100
r=8.87%
Therefore the annual rate of interest you must earn on your investment to cover the cost of your child’s college education will be 8.87%

clarissa wants to fund a growing perpetuity that will pay $5000 per year to a local museum, starting next year. She wants the annual amount paid to the museum to grow by 5% per year. Given that the interest rate is 8%, how much does she need to fun this perpetuity
Answer:
$166,666.67
Explanation:
Clarissa wants to take charge of finding a growing perpetuity that will pay a total amount of $5,000 per year to a local museum
She wants the annual amount paid to the museum to grow by 5% per year
= 5/100
= 0.05
The interest rate is 8%
= 8/100
= 0.08
Therefore, the amount used to fund the perpetuity can be calculated as follows
Pvo= $5,000/(0.08-0.05)
= $5,000/0.03
= $166,666.67
Hence Clarissa needs $166,666.67 to fund the perpetuity.
g Pluto Company owns 80 percent of the common stock of Star Corporation. During the year, Pluto reported sales of $1,000,000, and Star reported sales of $500,000, including sales to Pluto of $80,000. The amount of sales that should be reported in the consolidated income statement for the year is:
Answer:
The answer is $1,420,000
Explanation:
Consolidated income statement is the combination of both Pluto and Star individual income statement.
Pluto sales for the year is $1,000,000
Star reported sales $500,000
Sales from star to Pluto $80,000
The amount of sales that will be reported in the consolidated income statement for the year is therefore,
$1,000,000 + $500,000 - $80,000
=$1,420,000
ZNet co. is a web based retail company. The company reports the following for the past year. The company's CEO believes that sales for next year will increase by 10% and both profit margin and the level of average invested assets will be the same as for the past year
1. Compute return on investment for 20172. Compute profit margin for 20173. If the CEO's forecast is correct, what will return on investment equal for 2018?4. If the CEO's forecast is correct, what will investment turnover equal for 2018?
Answer:
1. 17%
2. 42.5%
3. $2,748,900
4. 44%
Explanation:
1. Return on Investment for 2017
= [tex]\frac{Operating Income}{Average Invested Assets}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2,499,000}{14,700,000}[/tex]
= 17%
2. Profit Margin 2017
= [tex]\frac{Operating Income}{Sales}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2,499,000}{5,880,000}[/tex]
= 42.50%
3. Should the sales increase by 10% in 2018 then the new sales figure will be;
= $5,880,000 + ($5,880,000 *10%)
= $6,468,000
Profit = Sales * Profit Margin
= 6,468,000 * 42.5%
= $2,748,900
Return on Investment for 2018
= [tex]\frac{Operating Income}{Average Invested Assets}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2,748,900}{14,700,000}[/tex]
= 18.7%
4. Investment turnover equal for 2018
= [tex]\frac{ Sales}{Average Invested Assets}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{6,468,000}{14,700,000}[/tex]
= 44%
Today you purchase a $600 face-value, 8% coupon bond for $600. This bond matures over 10 years. What is the value of the cash flow in year 5?
Answer:
the value of the cash flow in year 5 is -$48
Explanation:
Cash flow in year 5 include a capital repayment and interest expense.This can be determined by constructing an amortization schedule from the data given.
The first step in constructing the amortization schedule is to find the Yield to Maturity.
Pv = -$600
Pmt = $600 × 8% = $48
P/yr = 1
N = 10
Fv = $600
YTM = ?
Using a Financial Calculator the Yield to Maturity is 8%.
then to determine the cash flow for year 5, we need the coupon amount (interest) and the amount of capital repayment.
Coupon $48
Capital $0
Total $48
Therefore the cash flow in year 5 is -$48.

Assets owned inside the U.S. by U.S. citizens = $140, 000140,000
Assets owned outside the U.S. by U.S. citizens = $23,35723,357
Assets owned outside the U.S. by foreign citizens = $110,000110,000
Assets owned inside the U.S. by foreign citizens = $22,78622,786
The value of the International Investment Position (IIP) of the U.S. is__________ $ nothing million.
Answer: $571 million
Explanation:
International Investment Position (IIP) is an Economic measure that is calculated to see the assets owned by the citizens of a country outside the country versus the assets owned by foreigners in the country in question. It is informally referred to as a nation's Balance Sheet with other countries.
It is calculated by;
Value of the International Investment Position of the US = Assets owned outside the US by the US citizens - Assets owned inside the US for the foreign citizens
= 23,357 - 22,786
= $571 million

Complete Question:
On December 31 of the current year, Sam Company was merged into Paul Company. In carrying out the business combination, Paul Company issued 60,000 shares of its $10 par value common stock, with a fair value of $15 per share, for all of Sam Company's outstanding common stock. The stockholders' equity section of the two companies immediately before the business combination was:
Paul Sam
Common Stock $500,000 $400,000
Additional Paid-in Capital 200,000 100,000
Retained Earnings 300,000 200,000
Assume that the transaction is accounted for using the acquisition method. In the consolidated balance sheet at the end of the next year, the Additional Paid-In Capital account should be reported at
A) $400,000.
B) $300,000.
C) $500,000.
D) $200,000.
Answer:
Option C. $500,000
Explanation:
The reason is that the new additional Paid In Capital will be calculated by taking the stock issuing company's Addition Paid-In Capital and the additional paid in capital arising from stock issue, which means that:
Addition Paid-In Capital after merger = Addition Paid-In Capital of Paul Company + Addition Paid-In Capital arising from shares issues
Here
Addition Paid-In Capital of Paul Company = $200,000
Addition Paid-In Capital arising from shares issues = 60,000 shares * ($15 per share - $10 per share) = $300,000
By putting above values in the equation, we have:
Addition Paid-In Capital after merger = $200,000 + $300,000
Addition Paid-In Capital after merger = $500,000
The interest rate on loan would be an effective 5% per semiannual, compounded monthly. What is the APY(annual percentage yield)
Answer:
The APY is 10.43%.
Explanation:
The annual percentage yield (APY) can be described as the real rate of return that is earned on investment or a saving deposit considering the impact of compounding interest. It is different from a simple interest rate that does take into account the effect of compounding interest.
APY can be calculated using the following formula:
APY = [(1 + r)^n] - 1 ............................... (1)
Where, for this question;
r = monthly interest rate = 5% / 6 = 0.83%, or 0.0083
n = Number of compounding periods per year = 2 semiannual in a year * 6 months = 12
Substituting values into equation (1), we have:
APY = [(1 + 0.0083)^12] - 1
APY = 1.1043 - 1
APY = 0.1043, or 10.43%
Therefore, the APY is 10.43%.
With perfect price discrimination the monopoly a. charges each customer an amount equal to the monopolist's marginal cost of production. b. eliminates all price discrimination by charging each customer the same price. c. eliminates profits and increases consumer surplus. d. eliminates deadweight loss.
Answer:
Option D, Eliminates the dead-weight loss.
Explanation:
Option D is correct because there is dead-weight loss under monopoly because it produces less as compared to perfect competition. Therefore, a monopolist eliminates this dead-weight loss by producing at the level where the marginal cost curve cuts the marginal revenue curve and charging each consumer their willingness to pay the amount

A corporation has operating income of $75,000. What is its taxable income if it receives a $20,000 dividend from another corporation in which it has the following ownership?
a. 10% is:
b. 65% is:
c. 90% is:
Answer:
Taxable income is $ 85000, $82000, and $75000
Explanation:
Given operating income = $75000
The dividend received from other corporations = $20000
Dividend received is taxable as, if the percentage of ownership is less than 20 percent then the deduction is 50 percent. If between 20 percent to 80 percent then 65 percent deduction. If more than 80 percent then 100 percent deduction.
a.10 percent ownership.
Taxable income = 75000 + 20000(1 – 50%) = 85000
b.65 percent ownership.
Taxable income = 75000 + 20000(1 – 65%) = 82000
c.90 percent ownership.
Taxable income = 75000 + 20000(1 – 100%) = 75000

Rao Construction recently reported $30.00 million of sales, $12.60 million of operating costs other than depreciation, and $3.00 million of depreciation. It had $8.50 million of bonds outstanding that carry a 7.0% interest rate, and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 25%. What was Rao's operating income, or EBIT, in millions.
Answer:
$14.4 million.
Explanation:
Since sales = $30.00 million
Operating costs excluding depreciation = $12.6 million
Depreciation = $3.0 million
Therefore; Operating income (EBIT) = Net earnings - Operating costs - Depreciation
= $30.00 - $12.6 - $3.0
= $14.4 million.
The December 31, 2018, balance sheet of Whelan, Inc., showed long-term debt of $1,420,000, $144,000 in the common stock account, and $2,690,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The December 31, 2019, balance sheet showed long-term debt of $1,620,000, $154,000 in the common stock account and $2,990,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2019 income statement showed an interest expense of $96,000 and the company paid out $149,000 in cash dividends during 2019. The firm's net capital spending for 2019 was $1,000,000, and the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $129,000.
What was the firm's 2019 operating cash flow, or OCF? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Operating cash flow
Answer:
$606,000
Explanation:
For the computation of operating cash flow first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Net New borrowing = Long-term Debt, 2019 - Long-term Debt, 2018
= $1,620,000 - $1420,000
= $200,000
Cash flow to creditors = Interest expense - Net new borrowings
= $96,000 - $200,000
= -$104,000
Net new equity = Common stock 2019 + Additional paid in surplus 2019 - Common stock 2018 + Additional paid in surplus 2018
= $154,000 + $2,990,000 - $144,000 - $2,690,000
= $310,000
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividend 2019 - Net new equity
= $149,000 - $310,000
= -$161,000
Cash flow from assets = Cash flow to creditors + Cash flow to stockholders
= -$104,000 + (-$161,000)
= -$265,000
and finally
Operating cash flow = cash flow from assets + Net capital spending + Change in Net working capital
= (-$265,000) + $100,000 + (-$129,000)
= $606,000

A project cash flow diagram is a tool that is used to present a visual representation of the cost of a project and cash it is expected to generate over a specified period of time. On the diagram, x-axis represents the year, and y-axis represents cash out flows and/or inflows.
Note: See the attached jpeg for the cash flow diagram.
b) If interest rate is 7%, which device should your company purchase?
To determine this, we compare the Net Present Value (NPV) of the 2 devices.
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the NPVs of the two devices.
From the attached excel file, we have:
NPV of Device A = $230
NPV of Device B = $262
Decision: Since $262 NPV of Device B is greater than the $230 NPV of Device A, the company should purchase Device B.

If P represents the price of goods and services measured in money, then 1/P is the value of money measured in terms of goods and services True False
Answer:
The answer is True
Explanation:
There is an inverse relationship between the price level and value of money (also known as purchasing power). An increase in the price level is the same as an decrease in the value of money.
As the price level decreases money is able to buy more goods and services and as the price level increases, money is able to buy less goods and services. inflation decrease the value of money or consumers' purchasing power.

Steven Corporation uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. Department A's beginning work in process inventory consisted of 15,000 unit, 100% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion costs. The total cost of this inventory was $31,000. A total of 40,000 units were transferred out during the month. The costs per equivalent unit were computed to be $1.30 for materials and $2.20 for conversion costs. What was the cost of the units completed and transferred out?
A. $140,000
B. $131,700
C. $138,300
D. $118,500
Answer:
The cost of the units completed and transferred out is C. $138,300

The cost of of units completed and transferred is calculated as follows :
Cost in Opening Work In Process $31,000
Cost to Finish Opening Work In Process :
Raw Materials ( $1.30 × 0) $0
Conversion ($2.20 × (15,000 × 60%)) $19,800
Started and Completed ((40,000 - 15,000) × ($1.30 + $2.20)) $87,500
Total Cost of of units completed and transferred $138,300
Conclusion :
The cost of the units completed and transferred out is $138,300.
An individual has $20,000 invested in a stock with a beta of 0.4 and another $65,000 invested in a stock with a beta of 1.8. If these are the only two investments in her portfolio, what is her portfolio's beta
Answer:
Beta= 1.478
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
An individual has $20,000 invested in a stock with a beta of 0.4 and another $65,000 invested in a stock with a beta of 1.8.
To calculate the portfolio beta, we need to use the following formula:
Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B)
The proportion of investment:
A= 20,000/85,000= 0.23
B= 65,000/85,000= 0.77
Beta= (0.23*0.4) + (0.77*1.8)
Beta= 1.478
