Explanation:
An insurance company will only sell its Select policy to people for whom the probability of a stroke in the next ten years is less than .01. If a smoker with a systolic blood pressure of 230 applies for a Select policy, under what condition will the company sell him the policy if it adheres to this standard?
Answer:
The insurance company would only sell the Select Policy insurance to a smoker with systolic blood pressure of 230 if after carrying out a medical test, t was found out that, the probability of him or her having a stroke is actually less than 0.01.
This is to insure that, the smoker didn't capitalise on his dying nature in-order to obtained the insurance thereby defrauding the insurance company.
Explanation:
The following data was collected from the manufacturing of an auto component. It represents the diameter (in mm) of that component. What is the LCL for a control chart using this data (z=3)?Sample Obs 1 Obs 2 Obs 3 Obs 41 10 12 12 142 12 11 13 163 11 13 14 144 11 10 7 85 13 12 14 13
Answer:
9.37
Explanation:
The computation of LCL for a control chart is shown below:-
Sample Obs 1 Obs 2 Obs 3 Obs 4 Mean observation Range
1 10 12 12 14 12 4
2 12 11 13 16 13 5
3 11 13 14 14 13 3
4 11 10 7 8 9 4
5 13 12 14 13 13 2
For computing the mean observation and range we will use the below formulas
Mean observation = ( Obs 1 + Obs 2 + Obs 3 + Obs 4) ÷ 4
Range = Highest value - Lowest value
[tex]LCL = \bar{\bar{X}} - A2 \bar{R}[/tex]
[tex]\bar X[/tex] = ( 12 + 13 + 13 + 9 + 13 ) ÷ 5
= 12
[tex]\bar R[/tex] = ( 4 + 5 + 3 + 4 + 2 ) ÷ 5
= 3.6
Since we found the value of A2 with the help of constants table for control charts for a 4 subgroup size.
A2 = 0.729
[tex]LCL = \bar{\bar{X}} - A2 \bar{R}[/tex]
12 - 0.729 × 3.6
= 9.37
Midyear on July 31st, the Digby Corporation's balance sheet reported: Total Assets of $205.498 million Total Common Stock of $6.350 million Cash of $10.050 million Retained Earnings of $44.117 million. What were the Digby Corporation's total liabilities?
a) $165.081 million.
b) $144.981 million.
c) $155.031 million.
d) $161.381 million.
Answer:
The value of total liabilities is $155.031 million and option c is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The basic accounting equation states that the total value of assets is always equal to the sum of the total value of liabilities and the total value of equity.
Thus, we can say that,
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity
The equity part can contain various components. In the given question it has two components namely Common Stock and retained earnings.
205.498 = Total Liabilities + (6.350 + 44.117)
205.498 = Total Liabilities + 50.467
205.498 - 50.467 = Total Liabilities
Total Liabilities = $155.031
Explain how you would value a stock. Provide an example of a valuation of a stock based on retrieved real data. Include evidence of the retrieved data in your answer. Compare your valuation with the actual price of the stock at the designated time for your valuation.
Answer with Explanation:
There are numerous stock valuing models but here, I will use Dividend Valuation Model which is based on finding the intrinsic value of Stock which is the present value of the stock at a required rate of return. The formula to calculate Intrinsic value of stock is given as under:
P0= D0 * (1 + g) / (ke - g)
Here
P0 is the intrinsic value of the stock
D0 is the dividend just paid
g is the growth rate
ke is the investor's required rate of return
The model doesn't holds if the company doesn't pays Dividend.
Now suppose that the Dividend just paid by Apple is $20 per stock. The anticipated growth rate of dividend is 10% and the required rate of return is at 15%.
By putting values in the above equation, we have:
P0= $20 * (1 + 10%) / (15% - 10%)
= $20 / (15% - 10%)
= $400 per share
The value of stock of Apple is $400 per share which must be its fair market value as per the Dividend Valuation Model.
As per the model, if the value of stock is higher as per dividend valuation model then we must purchase the stock as it will generate higher value and vice versa. The inherent limitation of the model is that it assumes that the dividend is growing at constant rate and is consistently paid. The main disadvantage of Dividend valuation model is that it doesn't account for political factors, economical factors, evolving business risks, technological factors, etc.
The amortization of bond premium on long-term debt should be presented in a statement of cash flows (using the indirect method for operating activities) as a(n)

50 $14 $700 $6 $725 $12
60 $12 $720 $2 $865 $14
Answer: $35
Explanation:
Profit will be the Total Revenue less the total costs involved with selling the goods.
Total Revenue at $16 is $640.
Total Cost at $16 is $605.
Profit = 640 - 605
= $35
Note; Your question has $15 as the maximizing price which is not available in the table. It might be a typo so I attached the question.

Calculate the company’s long term risk and capital structure positions at the end of 2015 and 2014 by computing the following ratios.
(1) Debt and equity ratios.
(2) Debt to equity ratios.
Answer:
(1) Debt and equity ratios. (I guess the years should be 2017 and 2016)
debt ratio = liabilities / assets
equity ratio = stockholder's equity / assets
debt ratio 2016 = $155,750 / $411,250 = 37.87%
debt ratio 2017 = $202,575 / $484,000 = 41.85%
equity ratio 2016 = $255,500 / $411,250 = 62.13%
equity ratio 2017 = $281,425 / $484,000 = 58.15%
(2) Debt to equity ratios. (2017 and 2016)
debt to equity ratio = liabilities / stockholders' equity
debt to equity ratio 2016 = $155,750 / $255,500 = 60.96%
debt to equity ratio 2017 = $202,575 / $281,425 = 71.98%
Explanation:
average liabilities 2017 = ($129,900 + $75,250 + $98,500 + $101,500) / 2 = $202,575
average liabilities 2016 = ($75,250 + $51,250 + $101,500 + $83,500) / 2 = $155,750
average assets 2017 = ($523,000 + $445,000) / 2 = $484,000
average assets 2016 = ($445,000 + $377,500) / 2 = $411,250
average stockholders' equity 2017 = $484,000 - $202,575 = $281,425
average stockholders' equity 2016 = $411,250 - $155,750 = $255,500

The Retained earnings account for Nathan Corporation had a credit balance of $800,000 at the end of 2016. Selected transactions during 2017 follow:
a. Net income was $130,000.
b. Cash dividends declared were $60,000
c. Repurchased 100 shares of Nathan Corporation common stock, paying S20 per share. Each share has a $5 par value and was originally issued for $35.
d. Sold 20 shares of Nathan Corporation common stock for $22 each.
Required:
Calculate Nathan's retained earnings balance as of the end of 2011. How large of a dividend could Nathan have declared in 2011?
Answer:
1 & 2. $870,000
Explanation:
1. Retained Earnings is an equity account from which dividends are paid. The Net Income is added to this and the dividends are deducted from this.
Retained Earnings for the year = Beginning balance + Net Income - Dividends
= 800,000 + 130,000 - 60,000
= $870,000
2. Nathan Corporation could have declared the entire retained earnings of $870,000. This is however, not a recommended action because the Retained Earnings maintain a cushion for the company and as such contribute to financial health and structure of the company.
The classic quote from the movie Field of Dreams, "If you build (produce] it
they will come [purchase]," can be used to describe
O Say's Law
O Keynesian economic policy
an economy driven by a strong aggregate demand
The correct answer is A. Say's Law
Explanation:
Say's Law proposed by the economist Jean-Baptiste Say establishes the supply (availability of a product) or the production itself is the factor that creates demand (customers willing to buy the product). For example, the production of a new model of cellphone or computer makes people want to buy the new model. This idea is expressed by the quote "If you build (produce] it they will come [purchase]" because in the quote it is explained the production of something make people go to buy that product.
Kenneth Arrow discussed two important situations in which profit maximization can be socially inefficient. One of these occurs when
Answer:
Explanation:
One of these occurs when costs are not paid for, as in pollution, the other is when there is an imbalance of knowledge between buyer and seller. Pollution can be a consequence that cannot be solved with money and can also be socially irresponsible for a company. On the other hand, an imbalance of knowledge can prevent a company from profit maximization if the seller does not understand the product or services that the buyer is selling.
Founder of Vanguard, Jack Bogle, believes that all investors should buy stock indices. Group of answer choices He believes in strong form market efficiency. He believes in semi-strong form market efficiency. He believes in weak form market efficiency. He believes markets are not efficient.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
1. He believes in strong form market efficiency.
Explanation:
Jack Bogle believed that, in a situation where people simply buy an entire group of stocks as a result of investors investing money into the index fund, it will create a strong market. That is, if every investor in the world only purchased the same index fund, then the market of buyers and sellers would no longer set the fair market price of the stocks in the stock market.
Assume you have a margin account with a 50% initial margin. You purchase 100 shares of stock at $80 per share. The price increases to $100 per share. What is the net value of your investment (margin) now
Answer:
Net value of the investment (margin) is $6,000
Explanation:
The initial margin = (100 shares * $80) * 50%
The initial margin = $4,000
Increase in the Margin value = 100 shares* ($100-$80)
Increase in the Margin value = 100 shares * $20
Increase in the Margin value =$2,000
Net value of the investment (margin) = $4,000 + $2,000
Net value of the investment (margin) = $6,000
Suppose we have the following information for 2008: Potential output: $17 trillion Actual output: $16 trillion Actual Deficit: $ 500 billion Tax Rate: 15% What is the structural deficit in 2008
Answer:
The structural budget in 2008 is $350 billion
Explanation:
Actual deficit = Government spending - Tax Revenue Collection
i.e Actual deficit = G-T
T = (Tax rate) (Actual output)
$500 billion = G - (0.15)($16 trillion)
$500 billion = G - 2400 billion
G = $500 billion + 2400 billion
G = $2900 billion
Thus, Government spending is $2900 billion
Structural deficit = G - T'
T' = (Tax rate)(Potential output)
T' = (0.15)(17000 billion)
T' = $2550 billion
Structural deficit = G - T'
Structural deficit = $2900 billion - $2550 billion
Structural deficit = $350 billion
Thus, the structural budget in 2008 is $350 billion

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 43,000
Direct materials $43.00 per unit
Direct manufacturing labor $8.00 per unit
Variable manufacturing costs $4.00 per unit
Fixed manufacturing costs $63.00 per unit
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary cost= 43 + 8 + 4 + 63
Unitary cost= $118
If D = 8,200 per month, S = $44 per order, and H = $2.00 per unit per month, a) What is the economic order quantity? The EOQ is 601601 units (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) How does your answer change if the holding cost doubles? The EOQ is 425425 units (round your response to the nearest whole number). c) What if the holding cost drops in half? The EOQ is nothing units (round your response to the nearest whole number).
Answer: A) The Economic Order Quantity is 601 units.
B)The Economic Order Quantity is 425 units.
C )The Economic Order Quantity is 849 units
Explanation:
EOQ, economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{ 2 x Dx S/ H}[/tex]
where D= demand
S = Order cost
H= holding cost.
a)when D = 8,200 per month, S = $44 per order, and H = $2.00
EOQ, economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2x D x S /H}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 x 8,200 x 44 /2 }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{360,800}[/tex] = 600.666= 601 units
b) if the holding cost doubles, holding cost = HX 2 = 2 X 2 = 4
EOQ, economic order quantity =[tex]\sqrt{ 2 x D xS /H }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 8,200 X 44 / 2 X $2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{180,400}[/tex] = 424.73 = 425units
C) if the holding cost drops in half, holding cost = H/2 = 2 X 1/2 = 1
EOQ, economic order quantity =[tex]\sqrt{ 2 x D xS /H }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 8200 x 44/1}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{721,600}[/tex] = 849.47 = 849units

If EOQ lot sizing is used the minimum order quantity would be:_______
a. 85
b. 100
c. 120
d. 150
Answer:
c. 120
Explanation:
The economic order quantity is the minimum amount of inventory that a seller must keep to demand and lower the holding cost. The formula for Economic order quantity is represented by the formula:
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*Demand*Ordering Cost}{Holding cost} }[/tex]
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*240*60}{0.5} }[/tex]
EOQ = 120
Blue Cab Company had 69,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the company issued 39,000 shares of common stock. The company had outstanding fully vested incentive stock options for 14,500 shares exercisable at $11 that had not been exercised by its executives. The end-of-year market price of common stock was $32 while the average price for the year was $31. The company reported net income in the amount of $364,915 for 2021. What is the diluted earnings per share (rounded)
Answer:
$3.38
Explanation:
The diluted earnings per share is calculated as;
First, we need to calculate the weighted average outstanding shares.
Weighted average outstanding share is
= Common shares + (Issued shares × 9/12[April - December] + [(Issued shares - Shares exercisable)
= 69,000 shares + (39,000 shares × 9/12) + ( 14,750* - 5,145*)
= 69,000 + 29,250 + 9,605
= 107,855
Therefore, the diluted earnings per share is;
= Net income / Weighted average outstanding shares
= $364,915 / 107,855
= $3.38
Note : (14,500 shares × 11) / 31
= 5,145

A company has a net cash inflow from operating activities of $793,000, a net cash outflow of $58,000 from investing activities and a net cash inflow of $100,800 from financing activities. The company paid $128,000 in interest, $188,500 in income taxes, and $204,000 in cash dividends. Which of the following statements about the statement of cash flows is not correct?a. The statement of cash flows will show a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $838, 500. b. If the direct method is used, the $125,000 of interest paid and the $187,000 of income taxes paid will be reported in the cash flows from operating activities. c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section. d. Supplemental disclosures required for a company using the indirect method include the amount of interest and the amount of income taxes paid.
Answer:
Incorrect Statement about the Statement of Cash Flows:
c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section.
Explanation:
Cash dividends of $201,000 will be reported as a cash outflow in the financing activities section and not the investing activities section.
Statement of Cash Flows is broadly divided into three, the operating, investing, and financing activities sections. The operating activities section show the cash flows from the normal business of the enterprise. The investing activities section shows the acquisition and disposal of investments made by the company in cash. While, the financing section shows the inflow and outflow of cash resulting from the funding of the business by stockholders and noncurrent creditors.
Garcia Co. sells snowboards. Each snowboard requires direct materials of $105, direct labor of $35, and variable overhead of $50. The company expects fixed overhead costs of $645,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs of $111,000 for the next year. It expects to produce and sell 10,500 snowboards in the next year.
Required:
What will be the selling price per unit if Garcia uses a markup of 15% of total cost?
Answer:
Selling price = $301.3
Explanation:
The selling price would be determined by adding the total unit cost to the mark- up.
Mark up is the proportion of cost that is to be earned as profit.
Selling price = Total unit cost + Profit
Profit = 25% × unit cost
Selling price = Unit cost + Mark-up
Selling price = Unit cost + (15%× unit cost)
Total unit cost =Variable cost + unit fixed cost
Total fixed cost = 645,000 + 111,000 = 756,000
Unit fixed cost = $756,000 /10,500 =×72
Total unit cost = 105 + 35 + 50 + 72 = 262
Selling price = 262 + ( 15% + 262) = 301.3
Selling price = $301.3
When Production decreases what is a very likely possibility? a hire new workers b expand production c purchase new equipment d downsizing
The correct answer is D. Downsizing
Explanation:
In businesses, the term "downsizing" is used to describe a reduction in the number of workers or the total labor force. This often means non-essential workers are fired or even complete departments are eliminated. Moreover, this is likely to occur if the business expenses are higher than its profits or if the production decreases because in both situations fewer workers are needed to eliminate unnecessary expenses. In this context, if production decreases it is likely downsizing occurs.
The XYZ Corporation pays no cash dividends currently and is not expected to for the next five years. Its latest EPS was $18.00, all of which was reinvested in the company. The firm’s expected ROE for the next five years is 16% per year, and during this time it is expected to continue to reinvest all of its earnings. Starting in year 6, the firm’s ROE on new investments is expected to fall to 11%, and the company is expected to start paying out 30% of its earnings in cash dividends, which it will continue to do forever after. DEQS’s market capitalization rate is 24% per year. a. What is your estimate of XYZ’s intrinsic value per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
current intrinsic value per stock = $26.35
Explanation:
year dividend EPS
0 0 $18
1 0 $20.88
2 0 $24.22
3 0 $28.10
4 0 $32.59
5 0 $37.81
6 $12.59 $41.97
growth rate up to year 5 = 16%
ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 11%
dividend growth rate starting year 6 = 11% x (1 - 30%) = 7.7%
cost of equity = 24%
horizon value at year 5 = $12.59 / (24% - 7.7%) = $77.24
current intrinsic value per stock = $77.24 / 1.24%⁵ = $26.35
The master budget of Sheffield Corp. shows that the planned activity level for next year is expected to be 50000 machine hours. At this level of activity, the following manufacturing overhead costs are expected: Indirect labor$730000 Machine supplies200000 Indirect materials220000 Depreciation on factory building120000 Total manufacturing overhead $1270000 A flexible budget for a level of activity of 60000 machine hours would show total manufacturing overhead costs of
Answer:
Total overhead= $1,500,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
First, we need to separate the variable overhead and the fixed overhead:
Variable overhead:
Indirect labor 730,000
Machine supplies 200,000
Indirect materials 220,000
Total variable overhead= $1,150,000
Fixed overhead:
Depreciation on factory building $120,000
Now, we need to calculate the unitary variable overhead:
unitary variable overhead= 1,150,000/50,000= $23
Finally, the total overhead for 60,000 units:
Total overhead= 23*60,000 + 120,000
Total overhead= $1,500,000
You expect General Motors (GM) to have a beta of 1.3 over the next year and the beta of Exxon Mobil (XOM) to be 0.9 over the next year. Also, you expect the volatility of General Motors to be 40% and that of Exxon Mobil to be 30% over the next year. Which stock has more systematic risk? Which stock has more total risk?
Answer:
As the beta of GM (1.3) is more than that of XOM (0.9), GM has more systematic risk than XOM.
The volatility of GM (40%) is higher than that of XOM (30%). Thus, GM has a higher total risk than XOM.
Explanation:
The systematic risk is the risk caused by factors that affect all of the market and are unavoidable. Such a risk is also known as a market risk and is measured by the beta of a stock. The market beta is always 1. A stock having a beta higher than 1 has higher systematic risk than market and a stock having a lower beta than 1 has a lower systematic risk than the market.
As the beta of GM (1.3) is more than that of XOM (0.9), GM has more systematic risk than XOM.
Total risk, on the other hand, is the risk that comprises of both systematic and unsystematic risk. The systematic risk is the market risk as mentioned above while the unsystematic risk is the firm specific risk and is avoidable. The total risk is measured by the standard deviation or volatility of the stock. The stock with higher volatility has higher total risk and vice versa.
The volatility of GM (40%) is higher than that of XOM (30%). Thus, GM has a higher total risk than XOM.
Duval inc budgets direct materials at $1/liter and requires 4 liters per unit of finished product. April’s activities show usage of 832 liters to complete 196 units at a cost of $798.72. Calculate the direct materials price and quantity variances and indicate favorable or unfavorable results.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Duval inc budgets direct materials at $1/liter and requires 4 liters per unit of the finished product.
April’s activities show usage of 832 liters to complete 196 units at a cost of $798.72.
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= 798.72/832= $0.96
Direct material price variance= (1 - 0.96)*832
Direct material price variance= $33.28 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 4*196= 784
Direct material quantity variance= (784 - 832)*1
Direct material quantity variance= $48 unfavorable
Think of two methods used to improve productivity in business. Discuss your reasons for choosing these methods
Answer:
Actually we have 2 method of launching a product. First simultaneously which isn't the best way. Second is sequentially in one market after anther. And this method seems to be more useful than others.
Answer:
Planning is the first one because I believe this can improve productivity in everything. Giving employees a schedule of what they day should look like is a great idea to give them an idea on what their time distribution should be. It also makes their day less stressful without having to worry about unexpected jobs that need to be done and overall should make them more productive through a workday. Having a organized process is another great attribute to improve productivity. This will allow a clean process in creating your products and service and keep everything in place.
Explanation:
Hotel Cortez is an all-equity firm that has 10,900 shares of stock outstanding at a market price of $37 per share. The firm's management has decided to issue $66,000 worth of debt and use the funds to repurchase shares of the outstanding stock. The interest rate on the debt will be 8 percent. What is the break-even EBIT
Answer:
$32,264.07
Explanation:
The computation of the Break-even EBIT is shown below:
(EBIT ÷ Number of shares) = (EBIT - Interest) ÷ Number of shares
(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $66,000 × 0.08) ÷ (10,900 - (66,000 ÷ $37))
(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $5,280) ÷ (10,900 - 1,783.78)
(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $5,280) ÷ (9116.22)
After solving this, the value of break-even EBIT is $32,264.07
Use information from the Washington Post article "Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans" to determine whether each statement is true or false.
a. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), worldwide catches peaked in 2001 at 86 million tons.
b. Using catch reconstruction, researchers estimate that the actual peak catch was 50% larger than the reported peak catch.
c, Catch reconstruction shows that, since the peak, catches have been increasing, not decreasing as previously reported.
d. The Sea Around Us Project found several problems with the FAO data, such as the fact that data that were not available were reported as catches of zero fish.
Answer:
"Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans"
Determining whether each statement is true or false:
a. False
b. True
c. False
d. True
Explanation:
The article "Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans," was published by the Washington Post on January 19, 2016. It was written by Chelsea Harvey. It tried to show how the world fish stock had been declining due to overfishing. This is why it provided a report contrary to the FAO report.
While the FAO report noted that the peak of worldwide catches was at 86 million tons in 1996, the contrary and independent report, using "catch reconstruction" showed that the peak was at 130 million tons in 1996. The reconstructed research also showed that worldwide fish catches had suffered declines ever since the 1996 peak, thereby threatening "world food security and marine ecosystems". The contrary report also suggested that all stakeholders must collaborate so that fish stocks can rebuild naturally.
