Explanation:
X 0 1 2 3 4
f(X) 0.096 0.57 0.238 0.077 0.019
b. The formula for the expected value of a discrete random variable is E(x)= µ=∑xf(x)
X F(X) X.f(X)
0 0.096 0
1 0.57 0.57
2 0.238 0.476
3 0.077 0.231
4 0.019 0.076
Total 1 1.353
Hence, the value for expected value of X is 1.353
The formula for the variance of the discrete random variables is Var(x)= σ² =∑(x-µ)²f(x)
X F(X) (x-µ) (x-µ)² (x-µ)².f(x)
0 0.096 -1.353 1.8306 0.1757
1 0.57 -0.353 0.1246 0.0710
2 0.238 0.647 0.4186 0.0996
3 0.077 1.647 2.7126 0.2089
4 0.019 2.647 7.0066 0.1331
Total 1 3.235 12.0930 0.6884
Hence, the variance of the random variable x is 0.6884
The formula for the standard deviation of the discrete random variables is
σ=√(∑[(x-µ)².f(x)] )
Thus, the standard deviation is σ= √0.6884
=0.8297
Hence, the standard deviation of the random variable x is 0.8297

10. Which of the following is NOT a reason that real GDP is a poor measure of a nation's
economic welfare?
A)Real GDP omits measures of political freedom.
b) Real GDP does not consider the value of people's leisure time.
c) Real GDP does not include the underground economy.
D) Real GDP omits household production.
Answers
Answer:
A)Real GDP omits measures of political freedom.
Explanation:
The Real Gross Domestic Product is a measure of all the goods produced in an economy within a year but with changes in price levels triggered by inflation factored in. Political freedom does not affect economic freedom. People may be restricted politically but still, go about their normal economic activities.
Because the Real GDP basically focuses on transactions done in the markets, it might not accurately measure the growth rate because some people conduct illegal businesses underground that are not captured by the government, while some produce their goods at home. Also, leisure time is not factored and it is important because an increase in leisure time will affect time spent in activities that improve the economy.

Answers
Answer:
e. $27,261.50
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is Marko willing to pay today to buy ABC Co.
Present value (PV) = $6,600 / (1 + 0.13) + $11,600 / (1 + 0.13)^2 + $17,800 / (1 + 0.13)^3
Present value (PV) = $6,600 / (1 .13) + $11,600 / (1.13)^2 + $17,800 / (1 .13)^3
Present value (PV) =$27,261.50
Therefore the amount that Marko his willing to pay today to buy ABC Co will be $27,261.50
You want to buy a house and will need to borrow $295,000. The interest rate on your loan is 6.37 percent compounded monthly and the loan is for 30 years. What are your monthly mortgage payments?
Answers
Answer:
$1,839.45
Explanation:
PV = P * [1-(1+r)^-n / r]
n = 30*12=360 months, r = 6.37%/12 = 0.5308% (monthly)
295,000 = P*[1 - (1+0.005308)^-360 / 0.005308}
295,000 = P * $160.3739
P = $295,000 / $160.3739
P = $1,839.45
So, the monthly mortgage payments is $1,839.45.

Answers
Answer: current liability for any portion due within one year
Explanation:
Notes payable are referred to as the written agreements whereby one party agrees to pay the other party a certain amount of money.
It should be noted that on the balance sheet, notes payable will appear as liabilities. In a situation when the amount is due within a year, then it's considered to be current liabilities while it's regarded as a long-term liability when it's more than a year,
It should be noted that a five-year note payable would appear on the balance sheet as current liability for any portion due within one year.

Answers
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The flexible budget is adapting the standard costs to the actual quantity.
Fabricating Department:
Depreciation= $2,300
Standard hourly rate= 2,300/640= $3.594
The department completed 600 hours of production.
Actual budget:
Depreciation= 2,300
Direct labor= 3.594*600= 2,156.4
Total cost= $4,456.4
Grinding Department:
Property tax= $30,000
Standard hourly rate= 55,200/2,400= $23
The department completed 2,900 hours of production.
Actual budget:
Property tax= $30,000
Direct labor= 23*2,900= 66,700
Total cost= $96,700

The problem of determining what goods and services society should produce: would not exist if government owned all of the resources. exists because we can produce more than we need or want. exists because there are not enough resources to provide all of the goods and services that people want. would not exist if all goods and services were scarce.
Answers
Answer:
exists because there are not enough resources to provide all of the goods and services that people want.
Explanation:
Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.
The four factors of production are;
I. Land: this refers to the natural resources and raw materials extracted from the ground or grown in the soil e.g oil, gold, rubber, cocoa, etc.
II. Labor (working): this is the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.
III. Capital resources: it includes the physical assets used for production of goods and services such as equipment, money, plant, etc.
IV. Entrepreneurship: it is intellectual capacity required to drive a business and the skills to develop an idea into a money making venture (business).
These four (4) factors of production when combined effectively and efficiently are used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services that meets the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.
However, the problem of determining what goods and services society should produce in order to meet the unending requirements or needs (demands) of consumers, exists because there are not enough resources such as the factors of production to provide all of the goods and services that consumers want.

(Round answer to 2 decimal places e.g. 2.25.)
Answers
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours
January $2,880 3,820
February 3,273 4,364
March 3,928 6,546
April 4,632 8,619
May 3,491 5,455
June 4,844 8,730
To calculate the variable component using the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,844 - 2,880) / (8,730 - 3,820)
Variable cost per unit= $0.4
US Corp. is charged with determining which small projects should be funded. Along with this assignment, she has been granted the use of $15,000 for a maximum of two years. She is considering three projects. Project A costs $7,500 and has cash flows of $4,000 a year for Years 1 to 3. Project B costs $8,000 and has cash flows of $3,000, $4,000, and $3,000 for Years 1 to 3, respectively. Project C costs $2,000 and has a cash inflow of $2,500 in Year 2. What decisions should she make regarding these projects if she assigns them a mandatory discount rate of 8.5 percent
Answers
Answer:
Project A and C given a budgetary constraint of $15,000.Pick all projects if there was not constraint as they all have positive NPVs.Explanation:
Find the NPVs of the various projects.
Project A:
= Present value of inflows - Cost
= 4,000 / 1.085 + 4,000 / 1.085² + 4,000 / 1.085³ - 7,500
= $2,716.09
Project B:
= 3,000 / 1.085 + 4,000 / 1.085² + 3,000 / 1.085³ - 8,000
= $511.52
Project C:
= 2,500 / 1.085² - 2,000
= $123.64
Seeing as she has only $15,000 to embark on projects, she should pick projects A and C.
Project A should be picked because it has the highest NPV and Project C should be picked because it can still be invested in after Project A given budgetary constraints.

Processing orders= 63,235/2,010= $31.46 per order
Inspection= 151,316/2,090= $72.4 per inspection-hour
Now, we allocate costs to W26B:
Assembly= 22.21*1,200= 26,652
Processing orders= 31.46*78= 2,453.88
Inspection= 72.4*34= 2,461.6
Total allocated costs= $31,567.48
Finally, the unitary cost and margin for W26B:
Unitary allocated cost= 31,567.48/600= $52.61
Unitary total cost= 49.55 + 12.44 + 52.61= $114.6
Product margin= 128.7*600 - 114.6*600= $8,460
The Bug House purchased some new machinery last year at a total cost of $18,500. The depreciation to date on this machinery is $3,400. Should the firm opt to sell the machinery today, it could probably do so at a price of $14,150. What is the current book value of this machinery
Answers
Answer:
No, 15,100
Explanation:
The book value is 15,100 (18500-3400) which is more than the potential sales price of 14,150.
I wouldn’t sell the equipment since it is worth more (15,100) than potential sales price.
Suppose that Raphael, an economist from an AM talk radio program, and Susan, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing Over saving incentives. The following dialogue Shows an excerpt from their debate:
Susan: I think it's safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain an improvement in living standards.
Raphael: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards.
Susan: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference? Because I don't.
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to_____________ . Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
a. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
b. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
c. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.
Answers
Answer:
a. Difference in values
b. a. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
Explanation:
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to difference in values.
Economists are known to disagree a lot with each other and this is down to them having different values and perspectives with regards to several economic decisions. This is why there are different economic theories subscribed to by economists such as Keynesian and New Classical theories.
Despite these disagreements however, there are certain things they would always agree on and one of those is that rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
The logic behind this is that imposing a rent ceiling would dissuade real estate investors from putting in more money to develop properties because the rent ceiling would limit the returns that they can get.
Supply of real estate would also fall because less investors would go into the market because they would fear being unable to recoup adequate returns on account of the rent ceiling.

Pet Supply purchased some fixed assets two years ago at a cost of $43,800. It no longer needs these assets so it is going to sell them today for $32,500. The assets are classified as five-year property for MACRS. The MACRS rates are 20%, 32% 19.2%, 11.52%, 11.52%, 5.76%, for years 1 to 6, respectively. What is the net cash flow (A-T Salvage Value) from this sale if the firm's tax rate is 35 percent
Answers
Answer:
$28,483.4
Explanation:
The computation of the net cash flow is shown below;
Asset cost $43,800
MACRS Rate 0.2 0.32
8760 14016
So total depreciation is
= $8,760 + $14,016
= $22,776
Now
Book Value of the company is
= oriignal value - depreication
= $43,800 - $22,776
= $21,024
And,
Sale price = 32500
So,
Gain is
= $32,500 - $21,024
= $11,476
So,
Tax = 0.35% of 11476
= $4,016
And, finally
Net cashflows is
= Sale price - tax
= $28,483.4
Answer:
The correct solution is "28483".
Explanation:
According to the question,
Given:
Sales price,
= 32500
MARCS rates,
= [tex]43800\times 0.2[/tex]
= [tex]8760[/tex]
Or,
= [tex]43800\times 0.32[/tex]
= [tex]14016[/tex]
Now,
The total depreciation will be:
= [tex]8760+14016[/tex]
= [tex]22776[/tex]
The company's book value will be:
= [tex]Original \ value-Depreciation[/tex]
= [tex]43800-22776[/tex]
= [tex]21024[/tex]
Gain will be:
= [tex]32500-21024[/tex]
= [tex]11476[/tex]
Tax,
= [tex]35\times 11476[/tex]
= [tex]4016[/tex]
hence,
The net cashflows will be:
= [tex]Sale \ price-Tax[/tex]
= [tex]32500-4016[/tex]
= [tex]28483[/tex]

Answers
Answer:
Year Ended December 31 Inventory at Current-Year Cost Price Index
2019 $20,000 100
2020 $22,464 108
2021 $26,334 114
Inventory at base year prices:
2020 = $20,800
2021 = $23,100
Change from prior yer:
2020 = $800
2021 = $2,300
Dollar value:
2020 = $20,000 + ($800 x 1.08) = $20,864
2021 = $20,864 + (2,300 x 1.14) = $23,486
Zoey Bella Company has a payroll of $10,000 for a five-day workweek. Its employees are paid each Friday for the five-day workweek. Journalize the adjusting entry required on December 31, assuming the year ends on a Thursday. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
Date Description Post. Ref. Debit Credit
Answers
Answer:
Wages Expense debit $8,000
Wages Payable credit $8,000
Explanation:
At the end of December 31, which is a Thursday, workers would have worked 4 days out of a 5-day week, which implies we need to recognize wages for the 4 days because it has been incurred even not yet paid
Wages for 4-days=$10,000*4/5
Wages for 4-days=$8,000
We would debit wages account with $8,000 since an increase in an expense account is a debit entry while wages payable would be credited since it is an increase in liabilities
Assume that a $1,00,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with five years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 5%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 11.00%. Using ths information and ignoring the other costs involved, the value of the T-note is calculated as $773,871.23
Based on this calculation and an understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statements:
1. Assuming the interest rates remain constant, the T-notes price is expected to _____________. (Increase or Decrease) Please Explain Why.
2. The T-note described is selling at a ________________. (Premium or Discount) Please Explain Why.
3. When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period N in the present value formula used to calculate the price of the bond is treated in terms of ____________ periods. (Annual, 6 month, 4 month, 12 month)
Answers
Answer:
Completing the following statements based on the calculations and an understanding of semiannual coupon bonds:
1. Assuming the interest rates remain constant, the T-notes price is expected to _____________. (Increase or Decrease).
The reason for the increase in the T-notes price is the addition of the amortization for the 6-month period of $17,563.
2. The T-note described is selling at a ________________. (Premium or Discount)
The T-note sells at a discount because the face value is greater than the price. This implies that at the end of the maturity period of 5 years, the amount that will be received or paid is $1,000,000 and not the price that was initially received or paid.
3. When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period N in the present value formula used to calculate the price of the bond is treated in terms of ____________ periods. (Annual, 6 month, 4 month, 12 month)
Semiannual = 6 months (12/2).
Explanation:
a) Data anc Calculations:
Face value of semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note = $1,000,000
T-note price = $773,871.23
Discount on the note = $226,128.77 ($1,000,000 - $773,871.23)
Maturity period = 5 years
Coupon rate = 5%
Yield rate = 11%
Semiannual coupon payment = $25,000 ($1,000,000 * 2.5%)
Semiannual interest expense = $42,563 ($773,871.23 * 5.5%)
Amortization of discount = $17,563 ($42,563 - $25,000)
Truck-Or-Treat specializes in leasing trucks to delivery companies. It is considering adding 25 more trucks to its available stock. Doing so will not change the risk of the company's business. The trucks depreciate over five years under the straight-line depreciation method, all the way to zero. Truck-Or-Treat believes that these newly added trucks would be able to bring the company $220,000 in annual earnings before taxes and depreciation (i.e., sales revenue minus costs of goods sold) for five years. The company is unlevered. It is in 21 percent tax rate bracket. The required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity is 15 percent. The risk-free rate, e.g., the Treasury bill rate, is 6 percent per year.
Required:
Calculate the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company. (In other words, what should be the "initial investment" of this unlevered truck project such that the project's NPV equals $0?
Answers
Answer:
The maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.
Explanation:
Let:
x = Maximum price for the new truck = initial investment = ?
AEBTD = Annual earnings before taxes and depreciation = $220,000
T = Tax rate = 21%, or 0.21
n = Number of years = 5
Since the it is assumed that Truck-or-Treat remains an unlevered company, this implies the required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity of 15 percent is the relevant rate of return to use.
Therefore, we have:
r = required annual rate of return = 15%, or 0.15
D = Annual depreciation = Maximum price for the new truck / Number of useful years = x / 5 = 0.2x
P = Annual cash flow = ((AEDTD - D) * (1 - T)) + D = ((220000 - 0.2x) * (1 - 0.21)) + 0.2x = ((220000 - 0.2x) * 0.79) + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.158x + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.042x
Using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity, we have:
PVP = Present value of annual cash flow = P * ((1 - (1/(1 + r))^n) / r) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * ((1 - (1/(1 + 0.15))^5) / 0.15) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * 3.3521550980114 = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x
For the NPV of this unlevered truck project to be equal to $0, we must have:
x = PVP
That is:
x = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x
Solving for x, we have:
x + 0.140790514116479x = 582,604.56
x(1 + 0.140790514116479) = 582,604.56
x1.140790514116479 = 582,604.56
x = 582,604.56 / 1.140790514116479 = $510,702.49
Therefore, the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.

Lease Plan Effectively Manages Diversity
The term, glass ceiling, was used to represent an absolute barrier or solid roadblock that prevented women from advancing to higher-level positions. The ceiling resulted in women finding themselves stuck in lower-level jobs, ones that did not have profit and loss responsibility, and jobs with less visibility, power, and influence. This scenario is changing. This case illustrates the impact motivated leadership and changing company policies can have on gender diversity in the workplace. Per the United States Department of Labor, compared to women comprising 21 percent of the workforce in 1920, women comprised nearly half of the workforce in the United States in 2013, making gender diversity issues more and more important. This activity asks you to identify and apply your knowledge of such aspects of diversity.
Read the case below and answer the three questions that follow.
In 2003, the representatives of Lease Plan USA's top customers were mostly women, as was most the company's employees. However, men represented a large majority of top managers at the company, reflecting the old-boys network type culture that dominated the fleet industry. New leadership decided to change this and provided career counseling to women, revised reward systems to focus on performance instead of seniority, and replaced some existing managers. Two years ago, only one of seven top executives were a woman. Now, three of the top eight executives are women.
The company's new chief executive claims that these changes are motivated by strategy rather than political correctness. He says, "Lease Plan doesn't build anything…Our sustainable competitive advantages are people." Lease Plan now also implements a development program catered specifically for female employees. The program includes skills assessments, career guidance, communications, brand building, and panel discussions with female executives from other companies.
Lease Plan’s efforts have yielded very positive results in a short period. For example, a 2006 survey showed that 35 percent of women agreed that "management supports my efforts to manage my career," which was improved the following year to 47 percent. A growing percentage of women also feel that their opportunities are growing—increased to 30 percent from 22 percent.
Gerri Patton, Director of Client Activation, says the program helped her become more confident and outspoken. The 23-year Lease Plan veteran encourages her female subordinates to apply. "I wish I would have done that program 10 or 15 years ago," she says. "There's no telling where I would be...The sky would've been the limit."
After reading the case please answer three multiple questions below:
1) According to Eagly and Carli, and also supported by subsequent data analysis by the textbook authors, women have broken through the glass ceiling. Based on what you have read in the case, which of the following trends in gender diversity appears to be most supported by the outcomes of Lease Plan’s program changes?
Educational attainment—women earned the majority of bachelor’s and master’s degrees from 2006 through 2012.
Increases in seats on boards of directors—in Fortune 550 firms up to 16.6 percent in 2013 from only 9.6 percent in 1995.
Leadership positions—in educational institutions in 2010, women represented 18.7 percent of college presidents and 29.9 percent of board members.
Court Appointments—in federal court in 2013, women received 32 percent and 30 percent respectively of appointments to federal courts of appeals and US district court judge positions.
None of these
2) Which of Thomas’s generic action options for managing diversity is most illustrated in the case?
suppress
isolate
deny
include/exclude
tolerate
3) Based on the information in the case, which of the following barriers and challenges to managing diversity that were identified in the text appear to have been present at Lease Plan?
an unsupportive or hostile work environment
poor career planning
lack diversity in senior management
inaccurate stereotypes
difficulty in balancing career and family issues
Answers
Answer:
Lease Plan
1) The trend in gender diversity that appears to be most supported by the outcomes of Lease Plan's program changes is:
Increases in seats on boards of directors—in Fortune 550 firms up to 16.6 percent in 2013 from only 9.6 percent in 1995.
2. Thomas's generic action options for managing diversity that is most illustrated in the case is:
include/exclude
3. Based on the information in the case, the barriers and challenges to managing diversity that were identified in the text that appear to have been present at Lease Plan were:
a. an unsupportive or hostile work environment
b. inaccurate stereotypes
Explanation:
Thomas's include and exclude generic action option emphasizes that more diverse employees should be employed in addition to minority-owned companies being used as vendors. This option makes it possible for embracing and practicing workplace diversity. It creates an open-minded and supportive workplace, encouraging the sharing of information and the integration of behavior to accept and value human differences, thereby overcoming stereotypes.
