On Jan. 1, 2018, your cousin, Laura, purchased one $1,000, 5-year semiannual bond with a coupon rate of 8%. The yield of the bond was 8% at the time. How much did Laura pay for the bond?
Answer:
the amount pay for the bond is $1,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount pay for the bond is shown below:
Given that
Future value be $1,000
NPER is 5 × 2 = 10
RATE = 8% ÷ 2 = 4%
PMT = $1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40
The formula is given below:
=-PV(RATE,NPER,PMT,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the present value is $1,000
Hence, the amount pay for the bond is $1,000
Well Water Inc. wants to produce and sell a new flavored water. In order to penetrate the market, the product will have to sell at $2.00 per 12 oz. bottle. The following data has been collected:
Annual sales......................................................50,000 bottles
Projected selling and administrative costs.....$8,000
Desired profit.....................................................$80,000
The target cost per bottle is:__________
Answer:
The answer is "0.4".
Explanation:
[tex]\\\to \text{Total Cost of Goods Sold = Sales revenue - Desired profit}[/tex]
[tex]= (2\times 50,000) - 80,000\\\\= 1,00,000 - 80,000\\\\= 20,000[/tex]
Calculating the target cost per bottle:
[tex]= \frac{\text{Total cost of goods sold}}{ \text{units sold}}\\\\= \frac{20,000}{50,000}\\\\= \frac{2}{5}\\\\= 0.4[/tex]
During a period, an RV company purchased three vehicles for $33,000, $46,000, and $24,000, and sold two of them for $125,000. Using the specific identification method of costing inventory, they identified the $46,000 vehicle as still in stock. Calculate the gross profit for the period.
Answer: $68,000
Explanation:
If the inventory that remains is the $46,000 then that means that the cars costing $33,000 and $24,000 have been sold.
With specific identification, the actual prices of the stock are used so the cost of goods sold is:
= 24,000 + 33,000
= $57,000
The gross profit is therefore:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold
= 125,000 - 57,000
= $68,000

U.S. real gross domestic product changed from $14.6 trillion in 2006 to $14.4 trillion in 2009. During that same time period, the share of manufactured goods (e.g., cars, appliances) of U.S. real gross domestic product was 12.8 percent in 2006 and 12.0 percent in 2009. What was the dollar value of manufactured output Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. a. In 2006
Answer:
Missing word "b. In 2009"
a. Dollar value (2006) = Real GDP (2006) * Share of manufacturing goods (2006) / 100
Dollar value (2006) = 14.6 * 12.8 / 100
Dollar value (2006) = 186.88 / 100
Dollar value (2006) = $1.8688 trillion
Dollar value (2006) = $1.87 trillion
Thus, the dollar value of manufactured output in 2006 is $1.9 trillion
b. Dollar value (2009) = Real GDP (2009) * Share of manufacturing goods (2009) / 100
Dollar value (2009) = 14.4 * 12.0 / 100
Dollar value (2009) = 172.8 / 100
Dollar value (2009) = $1.728 trillion
Dollar value (2009) = $1.73 trillion
Thus, the dollar value of manufactured output in 2009 is $1.7 trillion
Forsyth Company manufactures one product, it does not maintain any beginning or ending inventories, and its uses a standard cost system. During the year, the company produced and sold 10,000 units at a price of $155 per unit. Its standard cost per unit produced is $125 and its selling and administrative expenses totaled $245,000. Forsyth does not have any variable manufacturing overhead costs and it recorded the following variances during the year:
Materials price variance $6,800 F
Materials quantity variance $10,500 U
Labor rate variance $3,800 U
Labor efficiency variance $4,700 F
Fixed overhead budget variance $2,800 F
Fixed overhead volume variance $12,300 F
Required:
a. When Forsyth closes its standard cost variances, the cost of goods sold will increase (decrease) by how much?
b. Prepare an income statement for the year.
Answer:
a. Cost of goods sold will decrease by $12,300.
b. Net income = $67,300
Explanation:
a. When Forsyth closes its standard cost variances, the cost of goods sold will increase (decrease) by how much?
This can be determined by calculating the net variance as follows:
Forsyth Company
Calculation of Net Variance
Details Amount ($)
Materials price variance (F) 6,800
Materials quantity variance (U) (10,500)
Labor rate variance (U) (3,800)
Labor efficiency variance (F) 4,700
Fixed overhead budget variance (F) 2,800
Fixed overhead volume variance (F) 12,300
Net variance 12,300
Since the net variance of $12,300 is positive which is favorable, this implies that the cost of goods sold will decrease by $12,300.
b. Prepare an income statement for the year.
The income statement for the year can be prepared as follows:
Forsyth Company
Income Statement for the Year
Details $ $
Sales (10,000 * $155) 1,550,000
Cost of goods sold (COGS):

Net variance 12,300
Net Cost of goods sold (1,237,700)
Gross margin 312,300
Selling and administrative expenses (245,000)
Net income 67,300
If Marjorie makes an investment of principal, and leaves the full amount, both principal and interest in the account to some time in the future when she withdraws all funds, she is earning what type of interest
Answer: Compounding
Explanation:
Based on the information given, we can infer that Marjorie earns a compounding interest. The compound interest is the interest on a loan that is calculated based on the initial principal as well as the interest that is accumulated from the previous periods. In compounding interest, the interest is earned on the principal and the interest amount. The compounding interest is also referred to as the interest on interest.
Zephyr Inc. sells wind based systems for generating electricity. The company pays no dividends, but you estimate the stock will be worth $50 per share 5 years from now and you require a 15% rate of return for stock investments of this type. What price should you be willing to pay for this stock?A) $12.50.
B) $24.86.
C) $43.48.
D) $57.50.
Answer:
$24.86
Explanation:
The estimated stock of Zephyrl is $50
This is for a period of 5 years
The rate of return is 15%
Therefore the price that will be paid for this stock can be calculated as foloes
50= x (15/100^5)
50= x (0.15+1^5)
50= x (1.15^5)
50= 2.0113x
Divide both sides by the coefficient of x
= 50/2.0113
= 24.86
Hence the price that will be paid for the stock is $24.86

1. Center of the World. The Ecuadorian sucre (S) suffered from hyper-inflationary forces throughout 1999. Its value moved from S5,000/$ to S25,000/$. What was the percentage change in its value?2. Reais Reality. The Brazilian reais (R$) value was R$1.80/$ on Thursday, January 24, 2008. Its value fell to R$2.39/$ on Monday, January 26, 2009. What was the percentage change in its value?
Answer:
1- The percentage change in the value of the Ecuadorian Sucre was an increase of 400%.
2- The change in the percentage of the value of the Brazilian Real was a decrease of 32.77% of its value.
Explanation:
1- Given that the Ecuadorian sucre (S) suffered from hyper-inflationary forces throughout 1999, and its value moved from S5,000 / $ to S25,000 / $, to determine what was the percentage change in its value, the following calculation:
5000 = 100
25000 = X
25000 x 100/5000 = X
2500000/5000 = X
500 = X
500 - 100 = 400
Therefore, the percentage change in the value of the Ecuadorian Sucre was an increase of 400%.
2- Given that the Brazilian reais (R $) value was R $ 1.80 / $ on Thursday, January 24, 2008, and its value fell to R $ 2.39 / $ on Monday, January 26, 2009, to determine what was the percentage change in its value the following calculation must be performed:
1.80 = 100
2.39 = X
2.39 x 100 / 1.8 = X
239 / 1.8 = X
132.77 = X
132.77 - 100 = 32.77
Therefore, the change in the percentage of the value of the Brazilian Real was a decrease of 32.77% of its value.

Tucker Company's Work in Process account decreased by $1,000, while its Finished Goods Inventory account increased by $500. Assuming total manufacturing costs were $5,000, what was the company's cost of goods sold amount?
Answer:
$5500.
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below:
Let us assume beginning WIP be $2000
So,
ending WIP is
= ($2000 - $1000)
= $1000
And,
Let us assume the beginning finished goods be $1000
So, the ending finished goods is
= ($1000 + $500)
= $1500
Now as we know that
Cost of goods manufactured = Total manufacturing cost + Beginning WIP - Ending WIP
= $5000 + $2000 - $1000
= $6000
Now
cost of goods sold=Cost of goods manufactured+Beginning finished goods-Ending finished goods
= $6000 + $1000 - $1500
=$5500.

Kiwi Plc sold an antique painting which had been purchased inJanuary 1996 for £21,000. It was sold for £4,200 in January 2021. The proceeds were received net of auction fees of £650. What is Kiwi Plc's allowable loss?
Answer:
$17,450
Explanation:
The antique painting that was bought in January 1996 was sold for $21,000
It was sold for 4,200 in January 2021
It received a net auction fee of 650
Therefore the allowable loss can be calculated as follows
= 21,000-4200+650
= 17,450
Hence the allowable loss is $17,450
Suppose that a small family farm sold its output for $100,000 in a given year. The family spent $25,000 on fuel; $40,000 on seed, fertilizer, and pesticides; and $25,000 on equipment, including maintenance. The family members could have earned $20,000 working at other occupations. What is the family's accounting cost? What is the family's economic cost? Could the family's economic cost ever exceed its accounting cost? Why or why not?
Answer:
Accounting Cost
Accounting costs refers to the explicit costs which ar the actual costs related to the business venture. In this case that would be:
= Fuel costs + Seed costs + Equipment
= 25,000 + 40,000 + 25,000
= $90,000
Economic cost
This includes the accounting costs and then adds the implicit costs which are the opportunity costs of choosing the current business venture. In this case it is the $20,000 they could have been making working at other occupations.
= Accounting cost + Salary foregone
= 90,000 + 20,000
= $110,000
Economic costs will always be higher than Accounting costs because they include both the accounting costs and opportunity costs.
The following information is from Princeton Company's comparative balance sheets.
At December 31 Current year Priro year
Common stock, $10 par value $124,000 118,000
Paid—in capital in excess of par 585,000 351,000
Retained earnings 331,500 305,500
The company's net income for the current year ended December 31 was $57,000.
Required:
Write down the T-accounts to calculate the cash received from the sale of its common stock during the current year.
Answer:
cash received = $ 240,000
Explanation:
On calculating the common stock $10 par
Beg. balance - $ 118,000
$6,000 - Issuance of common stock
Thus the ending balance = $124,000
On calculating the paid in capital in excess of par
Beg. balance - $ 351,000
$ 234,000 - Issuance of common stock
Thus the end balance - $ 585,000
Therefore,
The cash received - $ 240,000
Han Products manufactures 29,000 units of part S-6 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is:
Direct materials $3.70
Direct labor 12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.30
Fixed manufacturing overhead 9.00
Total cost per part $27.00
An outside supplier has offered to sell 29,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $23 per part. If Han Products accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture part S-6 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $79,000. However, Han Products has determined that two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part S-6 would continue even if part S-6 were purchased from the outside supplier.
Required:
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the outside supplier’s offer?
Answer:
Financial advantage of accepting supplier's offer = $21,000
Explanation:
Relevant costs saved by outsourcing production:
Direct materials $3.70
Direct labor $12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead $2.30
Fixed manufacturing overhead $9.00 * 1/3 = $3
Total cost per part $21.00
Total savings per year = $21 * 29,000 = $609,000
Additional rental income = $79,000
Total = $688,000
Cost of purchasing 29,000 parts = $23 * 29,000 = $667,000
Financial advantage of accepting supplier's offer = $21,000

Say that Fed policy requires all banks to hold 8% of deposits in reserves. If Ventura Bank does not hold any excess reserves and the Fed increases the reserve requirement to 10%, what will be the result
Answer:
the money supply decreases
Explanation:
Reserve ratio is the percentage of deposits that is required of commercial banks to keep as reserves. The higher the ratio, the lower the money supply
For example, assume reserve ratio is initially 8% of deposits. It is later reduced to 10%. 1000 is deposited
Increase in money supply = deposit / reserve ratio
1000 / 0.08 = 12,500
1000 / 0.1 = 10,000
It can be seen the money supply decreased when reserve ratio was increased from 8% to 10%

An individual in the 36 percent tax bracket has $20,000 invested in a tax-exempt account. If the individual earns 10 percent annually before taxes and inflation is 3.0 percent per year, what is the real value of the investment in 10 years?
Answer:
the real value of the investment in 10 years is $38,614
Explanation:
The computation of the real value of the investment is given below:
but before that the rate of return is
= (1.10) ÷ (1.03) - 1
= 6.8%.
Now the
Future value
= $20,000 × (1 + 0.068)^10
= $38,613.80
Hence, the real value of the investment in 10 years is $38,614
The same should be calculated

Explanation:
Dunbar sold 640 units of inventory during the month. Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost would be: (Round weighted-average unit cost to 4 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Answer:
$428.13
Explanation:
Note The missing word have been attached as picture below
Weighted average cost per unit = [(450*$2.18) + (370*$2.62)] / (450 + 370)
Weighted average cost per unit = ($981 + $969.4) / 820
Weighted average cost per unit = $1950.4 / 820
Weighted average cost per unit = 2.378536585365854
Weighted average cost per unit = $2.3785
Ending inventory unit = 450 + 370 - 640
Ending inventory unit = 180
Value of ending inventory = $2.3785 * 180 units
Value of ending inventory = $428.13
The Dominican Republic and Nicaragua both produce coffee and rum. The Dominican Republic can produce 25 thousand tons of coffee per year or 5 thousand barrels of rum. Nicaragua can produce 18 thousand tons of coffee per year or 3 thousand barrels of rum. Suppose the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua sign a trade agreement in which each country would specialize in the production of either coffee or rum.
RequireDd
a. Which country should specialize in coffee?
b. Which country should specialize in rum?
Answer:
a. Nicaragua
b, Dominican Republic
Explanation:
A country should specialise in the production of goods for which it has a comparative advantage in its production
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other countries.
The Dominican Republic
opportunity cost of producing rum = 25,000 / 5000 = 5
opportunity cost of producing coffee = 5000 / 25000 = 0.2
Nicaragua
opportunity cost of producing rum = 6
opportunity cost of producing coffee = 0.17
The Dominican Republic has a lower opportunity cost in the production of rum. It should specialise in the production of rum
Nicaragua has a lower opportunity cost in the production of coffee. It should specialise in the production of coffee
