Answer:
Supply of and demand for money.
Explanation:
The equilibrium interest rate is determined by the demand and supply of the money. The interest rate is represented by the verticle axis of the graph and supply and demand for money is represented by the horizontal axis. Thus, the point of intersection between supply curve and demand curve determines the equilibrium interest rate.
Kathleen Taylor is a high school student who has been investigating the possibility of mowing lawns for a summer job. She has a couple of friends she thinks she could hire on an hourly basis per job. The equipment, including two new lawnmowers and weedeaters, would cost her $500, and she estimates her cost per lawn, based on the time required to pay her friends to mow an average residential lawn (and not including her own labor) and gas for driving to the jobs and mowing, would be about $14.
a. If she charges customers $30 per lawn, how many lawns would she need to mow to breakeven?
b. Kathleen has 8 weeks available to mow lawns before school starts again, and she estimates that she can get enough customers to mow at least three lawns per day, 6 days per week. How much money can she expect to make over the summer?
c. Kathleen believes she can get more business if she lowers her price per lawn. If she lowers her price to $25 per lawn and increases her number of jobs to four per day (which is about all she can handle anyway), should she make this decision?
Answer:
Kathleen Taylor
a. The break-even lawns she needs to mow is:
= 31.25 lawns.
b. She can then expect to make $4,320 in Service Revenue and $2,304 in net income.
c. She should not lower her price.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of equipment = $500
Cost per lawn = $14
Price per lawn = $30
Contribution per lawn = $16 ($30 - $14)
Break-even point = $500/$16
= 31.25 lawns
Available period = 8 weeks
Number of lawns per day = 3
Working days per week = 6
Number of lawns per week = 18
Number of lawns for the period = 144 (18 * 8)
She can then expect to make $4,320 in Service Revenue and $2,304 in net income.
Number of lawns for the period = 192 (4 * 6 * 8)
Service revenue = $4,800 (192 * $25)
Net income = $2,112 (192 * $11)

Apple Computers Issued a 30-year $8,000,000 bond on January 1, 20xx with a 5% stated interest rated. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31st. What is the amount that Apple Computers would record as interest expense on June 30, 20xx (the first interest payment), assuming that no interest expense has been recorded since the bond was issued on January 1st?
Answer:
$200,000
Explanation:
Now, it is assumed here that the bonds are issued at par.
First interest payment = Face Value * Stated Interest Rate * Half yearly
First interest payment = $8,000,000 * 5% * 1/2
First interest payment = $200,000
So, the amount that Apple Computers would record as interest expense on June 30 is $200,000.
Given the following information, calculate the funds from operation (FFO).
Net income: $1,200,000
Gain/losses from infrequent and unusual events: $0
Amortization of tenant improvements: $120,000
Amortization of leasing expenses: $75,000
Depreciation (real property): $2,675,000.
a. $195,000
b. $1,395,000
c. $2,870,000
d. $4,070,000
Answer:
Funds from Operations = 4070000
Explanation:
Use the below formula to find the fund from operations:
Funds from Operations = Net Income + Depreciation + Amortization - Gains on Sales of Property
Funds from Operations = 1200000 + 2675000 + 75000 + 120000
Funds from Operations = 4070000
Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) attempts to keep the most highly demanded resource busy on critical chain activities, but not overloaded.
a. True

Critical- Chain Approach
This approach simply covers project network as it ca be limited by both resource and technical reliance/dependencies. each type of limitations can create task reliance.
The Summary of Critical Chain Approach
1.) use Aggressive but Possible Times (ABPT) for task durations
2.) identify the critical chain by accounting for resource dependencies
3.) use buffer management to track project progress etc.

If the efficient market hypothesis is true, price changes are independent and biased. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Price changes are independent but not biased in efficient market hypothesis.
Explanation:
In simple words, the efficient-market hypothesis asserts that asset prices represent all relevant knowledge. Because market rates must only respond to fresh knowledge it is difficult to continuously "beat the market" on something like a risk-adjusted approach.
Thus the given statement is partially true.

Answer:
If the keyword an advertiser is bidding on is used in the ad and on the landing page, then the advertiser will receive a higher Quality Score for
ad relevance.
Explanation:
Ad relevance is a component that gives an advertiser higher quality score. It is an indication that the keyword is optimized to meet the customer's search query. It shows how closely the ad matches the customer's search because a correlation exists between the keyword, the ad, and the post-click landing page. It is paramount to achieve ad relevance in any pay-per-click advertising (PPC), otherwise called search engine marketing (SEM) or search advertising, to justify the ad costs.

Chavez Corporation reported the following data for the month of July: Inventories: Beginning Ending Raw materials $46,000 $39,500 Work in process $25,500 $36,000 Finished goods $41,500 $56,500 Additional information: Raw materials purchases $75,500 Direct labor cost $100,500 Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $68,500 Indirect materials included in manufacturing overhead cost incurred $11,800 Manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process $67,500 Any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold. The cost of goods manufactured for July is:
Answer:
Cost of goods manufactured= $228,700
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 25,500 + (46,000 + 75,500 - 39,500) + 100,500 + (68,500 - 11,800) - 36,000
cost of goods manufactured= $228,700
We deduct the indirect material from overhead because it is already incorporated into direct materials.

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT. All else equal, 1. If a bond's yield-to-maturity (YTM, i.e., market interest rate) is greater than its coupon rate, then the bond is trading at a premium. 2. Duration measures the sensitivity of a bond's price to changes in interest rate. 3. If a bond's market value is equal to its par amount, then its YTM will be equal to its coupon rate. 4. The estimated market price of a bond is the sum of its future discounted cash flows.
Answer:
1
Explanation:
When the yield to maturity is greater than the coupon rate, the bond is selling at a discount.
When the yield to maturity is less than the coupon rate, the bond is selling at a premium.
When the yield to maturity is equal to the coupon rate, the bond is selling at par.
Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.81 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $75.67 per share. The company announced that it will increase its dividend by 3.80 percent annually. What is the company's cost of equity
Answer:
10.40 %

Cost of equity = Expected Dividend / Market Price + Growth rate
therefore,
Cost of equity = ($4.81 x 1.038) / $75.67 + 3.80

Bonner Metals wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 8.5 percent bonds on the market that sell for $959, make semiannual payments, and mature in 16 years. What should the coupon rate be on the new bonds if the firm wants to sell them at par?
Answer: 8.99%
Explanation:
The coupon rate on the new bonds if the firm wants to sell them at par will be calculated thus:
Par value = 1000
Selling value = 959
Maturity = 16 × 2 = 32
Coupon = 8.5% = 8.5% × 1000 = $85
Semiannual PMT = $85/2 = $42.5
The coupon rate on the new bonds will be:
= Rate(32, 42.5, -959, 1000) × 2
= 8.99
Coupon rate = 8.99%

a company enters into a long futures contract to buy 4,000 barrels of oil for $62.50 per barrel. the initial margin is $62.50 x 4,000. what oil futures price will allow $2,000 to be withdrawn from the margin account
Answer:
For $2,000 to be withdrawn from the margin account, the oil futures price must be $62.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Price of the long futures contract to buy 4,000 barrels of oil = $62.50 per barrel
Initial margin = $62.50 * 4,000
b) If the futures price is fixed at $62 per barrel and the initial margin per barrel already opened with a broker is $62.50, then the security investor can withdraw $2,000 ($0.50 * 4,000) from the margin account. This will result in an excess of $0.50 per barrel. Computationally, $0.50 * 4,000 = $2,000.
