Answer:
Future value at the end of 19 years =$63,637.94
Explanation:
The Future value (FV) of an investment is the total amount (principal plus interest) that will accumulate in the future where interest is paid and compounded at a particular rate per period for a certain number of periods.
This can be done using the formula below
FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)
FV- Future Value
PV- amount invested, n- number of years, r - interest rate
The amount due after 19 years would be determined in two steps
Step 1: FV of 24,500 at 5.5% for 8 years
FV = 24,500× (1+0.055)^8 =37,599.819
Step 2 : FV of 37599.81962 invested for 11 years at 4.9% p.a
FV = ? P=37,599.81, n- 11, r- 4.9%
FV = 37,599.81 × (1.049)^11= 63,637.94
Future value at the end of 19 years =$63,637.94

The effects of inflation
Suppose Specific Automakers is considering signing a long-term contract with the union representing its workers. Specific Automakers and the union both agree that real wages should increase by 3%. Inflation is expected to be 6%, so they agree on a 9% nominal wage increase.
Now, suppose inflation turns out to be lower than expected, coming in at 5%. This would the _______union and _______ Specific Automakers because the real wage increase would now be _______.
Because of uncertainty about future inflation, the union devotes a large quantity of resources to monitoring inflation indicators in order to maximize its financial position.
This illustrates the fact that:
A. Inflation harms lenders and helps borrowers
B. Inflation obscures relative price changes
C. Variable inflation is associated with high transaction costs
Answer:
Benefit
Harm
Higher
C. Variable inflation is associated with high transaction costs
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in general price levels.
The increase in income was 9% based on the assumption that inflation would be 6%.
It turns out that inflation was 5%. The increase in income should have been 8% instead of 9%.
The union members end up earning more than they ought to, so they benefit. The company pays more than they ought to to workers, so they are in a disadvantage.
The union members spend a lot to monitor inflation. This is a transaction cost .

A portfolio consists of $15,200 in Stock M and $23,400 invested in Stock N. The expected return on these stocks is 8.90 percent and 12.50 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
Portfolio return = 11.08%
Explanation:
The expected return on the portfolio is the weighted average return of all the different stocks making up the portfolio. The weight of the individual stock would be the relative amount invested in each stock as a proportion of the total fund invested.
The expected return can be determined as follows
Weighted of stock A= 15,200/(15200+23400)=0.39
Weight of stock B = 23.400/((15200+23400)= 0.61
Expected return on portfolio = (0.39 ×8.90% ) + (0.61*12.50%)= 11.08 %
Parker Corp. owns 80% of Smith Inc.'s common stock. During Year 1, Parker sold Smith $250,000 of inventory on the same terms as sales made to third parties. Smith sold all of the inventory purchased from Parker in Year 1. The following information pertains to Smith and Parker's sales for Year 1:
Parker:
Sales $ 1,000,000
Cost of sales 400,000
Total $ 600,000
Smith:
Sales $ 700,000
Cost of sales $ 350,000
Total $ 350,000
What amount should Parker report as cost of sales in its Year 1 consolidated income statement?
a. $750,000
b. $680,000
c. $500,000
d. $430,000
Answer:
c. $500,000
Explanation:
Given that :
Parker Corp. owns 80% of Smith Inc.'s common stock
During Year 1, Parker sold Smith $250,000 of inventory
Therefore; adjusted for inter Corp. sales = $250,000
The following information pertains to Smith and Parker's sales for Year 1:
Parker Smith
Sales $ 1,000,000 $ 700,000
Cost of Sales $400,000 $ 350,000
Total $ 600,000 $ 350,000
For the Unadjusted Cost of Sales of Parker and Smith = $400,000+$ 350,000
= $750,000
The amount that Parker should report as cost of sales in its Year 1 consolidated income statement = Unadjusted Cost of Sales - adjusted for inter Corp. sales
= $750,000 - $250,000
= $500,000
Each unit produced costs the company $8.00, and it is sold for $10.00. How much will the company gain or lose in a month if they stock the expected number of units demanded but sell 2000 units?
Missing information:
The demand for a product varies from month to month. Based on the past year's data, the following probability distribution shows MNM company's monthly demand.
x f(x)
Unit Demand Probability
0 0.10
1,000 0.10
2,000 0.30
3,000 0.40
4,000 0.10
Answer:
total expected demand = 100 + 600 + 1,200 + 400 = 2,300 units
the company spends 2,300 x $8 = $18,400 to produce the units in stock
the company earns 2,000 x $10 = $20,000 from selling the units
assuming that the remaining units (unsold units) must be discarded and have no value, then the company will earn $20,000 - $18,400 = $1,600
Accounts Payable The balance in Ashwood Company's Accounts Payable account at December 31, 2016, was $1,200,000 before any necessary year-end adjustment relating to the following: Goods were in transit from a vendor to Ashwood on December 31, 2016. The invoice cost was $85,000, and the goods were shipped FOB shipping point on December 29, 2016. The goods were received on January 2, 2017. Goods shipped FOB shipping point on December 20, 2016, from a vendor to Ashwood were lost in transit. The invoice cost was $40,000. On January 5, 2017, Ashwood filed a $40,000 claim against the common carrier. Goods shipped FOB destination on December 22, 2016, from a vendor to Ashwood were received on January 6, 2017. The invoice cost was $20,000. What amount should Ashwood report as accounts payable on its December 31, 2016, balance sheet? a. $1,325,000 b. $1,260,000 c. $1,285,000 d. $1,345,000
Answer:
Ashwood CompanyAccounts Payable account at December 31, 2016:Amount to report in the balance sheet =
a. $1,325,000
Explanation:
The balance in the account was $1,200,000
Adjustments:
In transit goods, shipped FOB shipping point = $85,000
Lost in transit goods, shipped FOB shipping point = $40,000
Total = $1,325,000
The shipping terms determine when liability for goods in transit pass to the buyer and if the buyer should include the goods in its own Ending Inventory and adjust its Accounts Payable respectively. The liability for goods in transit passes to the buyer if the FOB is shipping point. The liability does not pass to the buyer if the FOB is destination.

A company’s weighted average cost of capital is 10.8% per year and the market intrinsic value of its debt is $33.1 million. The company’s free cash flow next year is expected to be $4.7 million and the free cash flow is expected to grow forever at a rate of 3.7% per year. If the company has three million shares of common stock outstanding, what is the intrinsic value per share? Question 6 options: A) $13.72 B) $9.48 C) $11.03 D) $12.24 E) $15.12
Answer:
C. $11.03
Explanation:
We need to first compute the firm's value which is shown below.
Firm's value = Free cash flow ÷ (Weighted average cost of capital - Growth rate)
Firm's value = $4.7 million ÷ ( 10.8% - 3.7%)
= $4.7 million ÷ 7.1%
= $66,197,183
Stock price = (Firm value - Debt) ÷ Number of shares
= ($66,197,183 - $33,100,000) ÷ 3,000,000
= $33,097,183 ÷ 3,000,000
= $11.03

World Company expects to operate at 70% of its productive capacity of 38,000 units per month. At this planned level, the company expects to use 16,625 standard hours of direct labor. Overhead is allocated to products using a predetermined standard rate of 0.625 direct labor hour per unit. At the 70% capacity level, the total budgeted cost includes $66,500 fixed overhead cost and $182,875 variable overhead cost. In the current month, the company incurred $421,625 actual overhead and 16,405 actual labor hours while producing 44,600 units.
Required:
a. Compute the predetermined standard overhead rate for total overhead.
b. Compute the total overhead variance.
Answer:
a. Predetermined Overhead Rate
Rate = Overhead cost / standard hours of direct labor
Variable Overhead Costs Rate = 182875 / 16625 = 11
Fixed Overhead Costs Rate= 66500 / 16625 = 4
Total Overhead Costs Rate = Variable Overhead Costs + Fixed Overhead Costs
= 11 + 4
= 15
b. Total overhead variance
Overhead costs applied= Overhead * Standard Direct Labor Hours
When Standard Direct Labor Hours= (16625 / 38000 * 70%) * 44600
= (16625 / 26600) * 44600.
= 0.625 * 44600
= 27875 Hours.
i. Variable Overhead Costs = 11 * 27875 = 306625
ii. Fixed Overhead Costs = 4 * 27875 = 111500
iii. Total Overhead Costs = 15 * 27875 = 418125
The company incurred $421,625 actual overhead which is the Actual overhead.
Hence, Total overhead variance= Total Overhead - Costs Actual overhead
= $418,125 - $421,625
= -3500 (Unfavorable)
The BVM Corp., construction company, purchased a used hybrid electric pickup truck for 30,000 and used MACRS depreciation in the income tax return. During the time the company had the truck, they estimiated that it saved 9500 a year. At the end of 4 years. BVM sold the truck for 9000. The combined federal and state income tax rate for BVM is 40%. Compute the after-tax rate of return for the truck
Answer:
The BVM Corp.
The After-tax Rate of Return for the truck = After-Tax Income/Investment in Truck x 100
= $10,200/$30,000 x 100 = 34%
Explanation:
a) Calculations:
Current Value of the Truck =
Sale of Truck = $9,000
Savings from Truck = $38,000 ($9,500 x 4)
Total $47,000
Investment increase = $17,000 ($47,000 - 30,000)
Combined Tax = $6,800 (40% x $17,000)
After Tax Income = $10,200 ($17,000 - 6,800)
b) MACRS means the modified accelerated cost recovery system. It is an allowance by the IRS for faster depreciation in the first years of an asset's life and the depreciation slows later on in order to allow a business to recover the cost basis of certain assets that deteriorate over time.
c) Rate of return (ROR) is the percentage increase or decrease of an investment (truck) over a set period of time (4 years), which is calculated by taking the difference between the current (or expected) value ($47,000) and original value ($30,000), dividing by the original value, and then this is multiplied by 100.
You manage an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 9% and a standard deviation of 12%. The rate on Treasury bills is 4%. Your client chooses to invest $50,000 of her portfolio in your equity fund and $40,000 in a T-bill money market fund. What is the reward-to-volatility (Sharpe) ratio for the equity fund?
Answer:
0.75%
Explanation:
Computation for reward-to-volatility (Sharpe) ratio for the equity fund
Using this formula
Reward to volatility ratio =Portfolio risk premium÷Standard deviation of portfolio excess return
Where ,
Portfolio risk premium =9%
Standard deviation of portfolio excess return=12%
Let plug in the formula
Reward to volatility ratio =0.09/0.12
Reward to volatility ratio =0.75%
Therefore reward-to-volatility (Sharpe) ratio for the equity fund will be 0.75%
For each of the following situations, what amount would the insurance company pay? (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.) a. Wind damage of $835; the insured has a deductible of $500.

Ruby is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company. She currently has $11,400 in an IRA, an important part of her retirement nest egg. She believes her IRA will grow at an annual rate of 9 percent, and she plans to leave it untouched until she retires at age 65. Ruby estimates that she will need $875,000 in her total retirement nest egg by the time she is 65 in order to have retirement income of $20,000 a year (she expects that Social Security will pay her an additional $15,000 a year).How much will Ruby's IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?
Answer:
$ 358,063
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Ruby's IRA will be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires.
Ruby's IRA worth when she retires at age of 65
First step
Using this formula to find how many years until Ruby retires
Time period= Retired age (-) current age
Let plug in the formula
65-25=40 years
Second step is to find the future value of IRA when she retires
Using this formula
Future value of IRA when she retires
= Present value(1+r)t
Let plug in the formula
$ 11,400 (1+0.09) ^40
=$11,400 (1.09) ^40
=$ 11,400 (31.409)
= $ 358,063
Therefore the amout that Ruby's IRA will be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires will be $358,063
During the year, Belyk Paving Co. had sales of $2,485,000. Cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses, and depreciation expense were $1,349,000, $660,000, and $462,000, respectively. In addition, the company had an interest expense of $287,000 and a tax rate of 24 percent. The company paid out $412,000 in cash dividends. Assume that net capital spending was zero, no new investments were made in net working capital, and no new stock was issued during the year. (lgnore any tax loss or carryforward provision and assume interest expense is fully deductible.)
Calculate the firm's net new long-term debt added during the year. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer:
$888,000
Explanation:
In order to determine how much new debt was added, we must calculate cash flows:
first we need to determine net income:
sales ($2,485,000) - COGS ($1,349,000) - S&A expenses ($660,000) - depreciation expense ($462,000) = EBIT = $14,000
since EBIT is lower than interest expense ($14,000 ≤ $287,000), we can assume there was a loss. But the question tells us to ignore any tax losses. So net income = $14,000 - $287,000 = -$273,000
operating cash flow = net income + adjustments = -$273,000 + $462,000 = $189,000
there were not capital spending and no new investments made, so cash flow from investing activities = $0
so the net cash flow from assets = $189,000
net cash flow form assets = net cash flow from stockholders + net cash flow from liabilities
net cash flow from stockholders = common stock issued - dividends = $0 - $412,000 = -$412,000
$189,000 = -$412,000 + net cash flow from liabilities
$601,000 = net cash flow from liabilities
net cash flow from liabilities = net new long term debt - interest expense
$601,000 = net new long term debt - $287,000
net new long term debt = $601,000 + $287,000 = $888,000

ou wish to retire in 20 years, at which time you want to have accumulated enough money to receive an annual annuity of $32,000 for 25 years after retirement. During the period before retirement you can earn 8 percent annually, while after retirement you can earn 10 percent on your money. What annual contributions to the retirement fund will allow you to receive the $32,000 annuity
Answer:
Annual contributions to the retirement fund will be $6,347.31
Explanation:
First find the Present Value of the Annuity giving payments of $32,000 annually for 25 years at the rate of 10%.
Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data
PMT = $32,000
P/y = 1
N = 25
R = 10%
FV = 0
Thus, the Present Value, PV is $290,465.28
At the time of retirement (in 20 years time) the Value of the annuity fund is $290,465.28.
Next we need to find the Payments PMT to reach this amount in 20 years time at the interest rate of 8%
Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data
FV = $290,465.28
N = 20
R = 8 %
PV = $0
Thus, the Payments, PMT required will be $6,347.3080
Conclusion :
Annual contributions to the retirement fund will be $6,347.31
The Green Giant has a 7 percent profit margin and a 61 percent dividend payout ratio. The total asset turnover is 1.4 times and the equity multiplier is 1.6 times. What is the sustainable rate of growth
Answer:
5.17%
Explanation:
The green giant has a 7% profit margin
= 7/100
= 0.07
The dividend payout ratio is 67%
= 67/100
= 0.67
Total turnover is 1.4 times
Equity multiplier is 1.6 times
The first step is to calculate the return of equity
ROE= profit margin×total turnover×equity multiplier
= 0.07×1.4×1.6
= 0.1568
Therefore, the sustainable rate of growth can be calculated as follows
= return of equity×(1-dividend payout ratio)
= 0.1568×(1-0.67)
= 0.1568×0.33
= 0.0517×100
= 5.17%
Hence the sustainable rate of growth is 5.17%

curve, and the entire curve will shift upwards as well.
D. The supply point will increase by moving along the existing supply
curve, the curve itself will not shift.
Answer: D. The supply point will increase by moving along the existing supply curve, the curve itself will not shift.
The demand in a market for smartphones has increased, causing prices to The supply point will increase by moving along the existing supply curve, the curve itself will not shift. Hence, the correct option is D.
What is Supply curve?Supply curve is the curve which is a graphic representation of the relationship among the quantity of product and the price of the products, which the seller is willing to supply.
Supply curve on the right means the increase in the supply of the product in market.
So, the shift to the supply curve to the right for the smartphones, will result from increase in consumer income, as the income of the customer rises, will result in outwards shift (right) and when goods are normal goods.

a newspaper story discussing high profits and low unemployment indicates a strong economy
-true
-false
Answer:
true
Explanation:
If a newspaper story is discussing high profits and low unemployment rates, this indicates a strong economy. An economy would not be stable if big businesses and corporations were not bringing in high profits. In addition, if the unemployment rates were high this would mean that the economy would not be stable, as consumers are an important part of a strong and successful economy.
Colter Steel has $4,800,000 in assets. Temporary current assets $ 1,600,000 Permanent current assets 1,530,000 Fixed assets 1,670,000 Total assets $ 4,800,000 Short-term rates are 12 percent. Long-term rates are 17 percent. Earnings before interest and taxes are $1,020,000. The tax rate is 40 percent. If long-term financing is perfectly matched (synchronized) with long-term asset needs, and the same is true of short-term financing, what will earnings after taxes be
Answer:
Colter SteelEarnings after taxes:Earnings before interest and taxes = $1,020,000
Interests = $659,500
Pre-tax Earnings = $360,500
Income Tax (40%) 144,200 ($360,500 x 40%)
Earnings after taxes = $216,300
Explanation:
a) Interests:
i) Long-term interests = 17% of Fixed Assets ($1,670,000) = $283,900
ii) Short-term interest = 12% of current assets ($4,800,000 - 1,670,000) = $375,600
Total interests = $659,500 ($283,900 + 375,600)
b) Short-term rates are the interest rates for current assets (or short-term borrowings).
c) Long-term rates are the interest rates for long-term assets or fixed assets (or long-term borrowings).
What do you see as the major deficiencies current information systems budgeting and prioritization processes are run
Answer:
The major challenges with the current information systems budgeting and prioritisation process are:
The focus was overly on how the budgeted monies will be spent and how much return it will bring to the business. Not much thought was given to how the monies required for the expenses will be generated. Budgeting not only looks at the outflow, it examines existing and potential sources of income/revenue. When this is balanced, the company can integrate such into their marketing strategy armed with what information about the market that they possess.The prioritization is all wrong. Budgeting is because there is are organisational objectives to be met with limited resources.
Because those resources are limited, the said objectives have to be prioritized. Income-generating projects must hold more priority over non-revenue generating activities.
If there is a strategic link between the company's Information Systems upgrade and an increase in its bottom line, then it must be given priority.

Use the net FUTA tax rate of 0.6% on the first $7,000 of taxable wages. Queno Company had FUTA taxable wages of $510,900 during the year. Determine its: (Round your answers to two decimal places.) a. gross FUTA tax $ . b. FUTA tax credits (assuming no penalties) $ . c. net FUTA tax
Answer:
a. $30,654
b. $27,588.60
c. $3,065.40
Explanation:
The Gross/ Standard Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) is 6.0% but employers tend to receive a 5.4% reduction/ credit upon filing form 940 leaving them with a net of 0.6%.
a. The Gross tax is;
= 510,900 * 6%
= $30,654
b. FUTA Tax Credits
= 510,900 * 5.4%

The rest of the world sees problems; Martin sees opportunity. He made money in real estate and lost it when the recession hit. But soon he found another way to earn a living and has become wealthy again. Martin is high in ________.
Answer:
Resilience
Explanation:
In psychology, the term resilience refers to the process of coping with trauma, tragedy or adversity and adapt to it. But it doesn't only refer to the process of adaptation but actually it involves personal growth. In other words, the person grows thanks to the adversity, the person also sees problems as an opportunity to learn and become a better person.
In this example, Martin sees opportunity where the rest of the world sees problems, he made money and lost it but he's wealthy again. We can see that Marty has coped with adversity (the recession) but he adapted to it and he found a way to go through that and earn a living and become wealthy again, thus, this is an example of high resilience.
Chubbyville purchases a delivery van for $23,500. Chubbyville estimates a four-year service life and a residual value of $2,100. During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 106,000 miles. Calculate annual depreciation for the four-year life of the van using each of the following methods.
a. Straight line.
b. Double-declining-balance.
c. Activity-based. Actual miles driven each year were 24,000 miles in Year 1 ; 26,000 miles in Year 2; 22,000 miles in Year 3; and 25,000 miles in Year 4. Note that actual total miles of 97,000 fall short of expectations by 8,000 miles.
Answer:
Straight-line method: $5,350 yearly depreciation expense for 4 yearsDouble-declining method: Year 1 - $11,750, Year 2 - $5,875, Year 3 - $2,938, Year 4 - $837Activity-based method: Year 1 - $4,845, Year 2 - $5,249, Year 3 - $4,442, Year 4 - $5,047Explanation:
(A) Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / Estimated useful life = ($23,500 - $2,100) / 4 years = $5,350 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years is $5,350 x 4 years is $21,400.
(B) The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:
Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV
SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage
BV = Book value
SLDP is 100%/4 years = 25%, then 25% multiplied by 2 to give 50% or 1/2
At Year 1, 50% X $23,500 = $11,750
At Year 2, 50% X $11,750 ($23,500 - $11,750) = $5,875
At Year 3, 50% X $5,875 ($11,750 - $5,875) = $2,938
The depreciation for Year 4 $1,469 [50% X ($5,875 - $2,938)] will decrease the book value of the asset below its salvage value $2,100. Depreciation will only be allowed up to the point where the book value = salvage value. Consequently the depreciation for Year 4 will be $837.
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years is $11,750 + $5,875 + $2,938 + $837 = $21,400.
(C) The activity-based method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:
(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year
At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($23,500 - $2,100) / 106,000 miles x 24,000 miles = $4,845
At Year 2, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($23,500 - $2,100) / 106,000 miles x 26,000 miles = $5,249
At Year 3, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($23,500 - $2,100) / 106,000 miles x 22,000 miles = $4,442
At Year 4, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($23,500 - $2,100) / 106,000 miles x 25,000 miles = $5,047
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years is $4,845 + $5,249 + $4,442 + $5,047 = $19,583.
Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Year 2.
The 8,000 miles fallen short expectation can be recognized as a loss.
