Answer:
6.69%
Explanation:
Price of Ace products bond issue = $1,196
Annual coupon payment = $80
Current yield = Annual coupon payment / Bond price
Current yield = $80/$1,196
Current yield = 0.0668896
Current yield = 6.69%
A municipal power plant uses natural gas from an existing pipeline at an annual cost of $10,000 per year. A new pipeline would initially cost $35,000, but it would reduce the annual cost to $4000 per year. Assume an analysis period of 20 years and no salvage value for either pipeline. The interest rate is 7%. Using the equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC), should the new pipeline be built
Answer: EUAC of new pipeline of $7,303.75 is less than the $10,000 of old pipeline so new pipeline should be built.
Explanation:
Equivalent Uniform Annual cost can be calculated as:
= Reduction in annual cost + (Initial Cost/ Present value interest factor of annuity, 7%, 20 years)
= 4,000 + (35,000 / 10.5940)
= 4,000 + 3,303.75
= $7,303.75
Suppose that the Federal Reserve decides to decrease the money supply with a $300 purchases of Treasury bills. Complete the tables that represent the financial position of the Federal Reserve and commercial banks after this open-market operation. Be sure to use a negative sign for reduced values.
Federal Reserves Assest Liabilities
Commercial Reserves Assets Liabilities
For the Federal Reserve, what are assets? What are liabilities?
a. Monetary base; Reserves
b. Monetary base; Treasury bills
c. Treasury bills; Reserves
d. Reserves; Treasury bill
e. Treasury bills; Monetary base
Answer:
1. Federal Reserves:
Assets : $300
The Fed purchased these T-bills so they will form part of the Fed's assets as they are now owned by the Fed.
Liabilities: $300
Liabilities of the Fed will increase by $300 because the banks will deposit the money they got from the purchase in the Fed.
Commercial Banks:
Treasury Bills: -$300
The Treasury bills will reduce by $300 to reflect that the Fed purchased $300 worth of T-bills from the banks.
Reserves: $300
Reserves will increase because the banks would have made money from selling the T-bills to the Fed.
2. e. Treasury bills; Monetary base
Treasury bills are assets to the Fed in this case because as explained, they own these T-bills now after purchasing them.
The monetary base however, is a liability because it represents commercial bank reserves held in the Fed. They owe the banks this money thereby making it a liability.

Job specialization can be defined as a strategic process which typically involves the ability of employees working in an organization to develop specific skills, knowledge, great expertise or professionalism and experience to perform their duties, tasks or job functions effectively and efficiently.
In order to gain the requisite skills, expertise and knowledge for job specialization, it is very important for the employees to have undergone an extensive training and a good number of years in work experience.
The primary purpose of job specialization is to increase efficiency and productivity because the employees are able to specialize in the use of specific tools (equipments) to accomplish their tasks, as well as limit the level of error or mistakes in the production process.
In Business management, method analysis can be defined as the study of the detailed process for the performance of a job i.e how a job is done. Thus, method analysis gives a detailed report on the tasks involved in the performance of a job and how they are to be done.
Basically, methods analysis is particularly valuable when it is used on jobs that:
1. Are high in labor content.
2. Are done frequently.
3. Are unsafe, tiring, unpleasant, and/or noisy.
Assume a small nation has the following statistics: its consumption expenditure is $15 million, investment is $2 million, government expenditure on goods and services is $1 million, exports of goods and services to foreigners is $1 million, and imports of goods and services from foreigners is $1.5 million. Calculate this nation's GDP
Answer:
GDP= $17,500,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
(C) Consumption expenditure is $15 million
(I) Investment is $2 million
(G) Government expenditure on goods and services is $1 million
(X) Exports of goods and services to foreigners is $1 million
(N) Imports of goods and services from foreigners is $1.5 million
To calculate the GDP, we need to use the following formula:
GDP= C + I + G + (X - N)
GDP= 15 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 1.5
GDP= $17,500,000
You just decided to begin saving for retirement. You will make deposits of $1,000 per month into a retirement account that earns 8.00% p.a. The first deposit is made today and the last deposit will be made when you retire exactly 30 years from today. (Note: you make 361 total monthly deposits into your retirement account.) You will begin to make withdrawals from the account the first month after you retire. If you plan to live an additional 25 years and leave $900,000 to your heirs, you will be able to withdraw $_____ each month. (Note: you make 300 total monthly withdrawals from your retirement account.)
Answer:
Monthly withdraw= $4,752.01
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly deposit= $1,000
Number of perios= 361 months
Interest rate= 0.08/12= 0.0067
First, we need to calculate the Future Value at the moment of retirement:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {1,000*[(1.0067^361) - 1]} / 0.0067
FV= $1,513,584.37
Now, we can calculate the monthly withdraw:
PV= 1,513,584.37 - 900,000= $613,584.27
Monthly withdraw= (FV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
Monthly withdraw= (613,584.37*0.0067) / [1 - (1.0067^-300)]
Monthly withdraw= $4,752.01

Haylock Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,500 direct labor-hours will be required in August. The variable overhead rate is $1.50 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,410 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,940. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The August cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
Overhead cash disbursement= $102,720
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate variable overhead using the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.5*7,500
Allocated MOH= $11,250
Now, we can calculate the cash disbursement for August. Depreciation is not a cash expense. We should deduct it from fixed costs.
Overhead cash disbursement= 11,250 + 100,410 - 8,940
Overhead cash disbursement= $102,720

Calculation of Net amount payable:
Net Amount Payable = Fair Value of asset - Fair Value of liabilities = $800,000 - $300,000 = $500,000
Calculation of Goodwill that Parent pays to Subsidiary:
Goodwill = Actually paid amount - Net amount payable = $600,000 - $500,000 = $100,000
The Sheridan Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $36 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $4,000 per month
Utilities $1,500 per month
Depreciation $1,300 per month
Maintenance $832 per month
Maid service $6 per room
Other costs $12 per room
Required:
a. Determine the inn's break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
b. Determine the inn's break-even point in dollars.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost and the fixed costs:
Unitary variable cost= 6 + 12= $18
Total fixed costs= 4,000 + 1,500 + 1,300 + 832
Total fixed costs= $7,632
Now, to calculate the break-even point both in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 7,632 / (36 - 18)
Break-even point in units= 424 per month
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 7,632 / (18/36)
Break-even point (dollars)= $15,264

Estimated standalone selling prices of the equipment, installation, and training are $81,000, $6,300, and $2,700, respectively. How should the transaction price be allocated to the equipment, installation, and training?
WeAnswer:
Equipment $79,290
Installation $6,167
Training $2,643
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How should the transaction price be allocated to the equipment, installation, and training
First step is to calculate the total estimated fair value
Total estimated fair value = $81,000+$6,300+$2,700
Total estimated fair value =$90,000
Now let calculate How should the transaction price be allocated
Equipment= ($81,000 ÷ $90,000)*$88,100
Equipment= 90%*$88,100
Equipment=$79,290
Installation=($6,300 ÷ $90,000)* $88,100
Installation= 7%*$88,100
Installation=$6,167
Training=($2,700 ÷ $90,000)*$88,100
Training= 3%*$88,100
Training=$2,643
TOTAL
Equipment=$81,000
Installation=$6,300
Training=$2,700
Total $90,000
Equipment=$79,290
Installation=$6,167
Training=$2,643
Total $88,100
Equipment=90%
Installation=7%
Training=3%
Total 100%
Therefore the transaction price that should be allocated to the equipment, installation, and training are :
Equipment $79,290
Installation $6,167
Training $2,643

Harry was on the phone negotiating the terms of a contract for the purchase of ball caps containing his university's logo with All Logos, LLC. They had agreed on the quantity (1200) and price ($2/cap), but could not agree on the delivery date, so Harry hung up. A few days later, Harry received an invoice in the mail, billing him for the caps, and advising that they would be shipped in 30 days' time. Under the UCC, has a contract been formed?
Answer: d. No, a contract has not been formed, since Harry has not signed a contract for the goods.
Explanation:
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) utilizes the Statute of Frauds which states that contracts for goods worth over $500 in value are to be signed for them to be valid.
The goods here are worth:
= 1,200 * 2
= $2,400
This contract is well worth over the $500 required for the contract to be signed which means that as Harry did not sign the contract, there is no contract.
Exercise 5-10 (Algo) Multiproduct Break-Even Analysis [LO5-9] Lucido Products markets two computer games: Claimjumper and Makeover.

What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company
Answer:
Contribution margin ratio= 0.7
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total
Sales $168,000
Variable expenses 50,400
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
Contribution margin ratio= (sales - total variable cost) / sales
Contribution margin ratio= (168,000 - 50,400) / 168,000
Contribution margin ratio= 0.7
All of the following lead people to be credit constrained except a person's credit history. savings. collateral. banking regulations. b. The most important consequence of credit constraints on individuals is difficulty in obtaining gainful employment. an ability to retire at an earlier age. lower interest rates on bank loans. an inability to smooth consumption.
Answer:
Banking regulations Lower interest rates on bank loans.Explanation:
Being credit constrained means that one is unable to borrow because the lenders do not think the individual is capable of paying back.
A person's credit history, savings level and collateral are all very useful in determining if they have the ability to pay back debt. Banking regulations do not directly lead to a credit constraint.
Lower interests on bank loans is only given to more creditworthy entities whom the bank feels will be able to pay back. A credit constrained person is risky and will therefore draw a higher rate from banks to balance that risk.
Credit constraints mean the inability of a person to borrow money from the market. the banking regulations and lower interest rates are the exceptions for persons credit-constrained.
What is credit constrained?It is the inability of a borrower to borrow more money from the lender because, in the opinion of the lender, the borrower does not have the creditworthiness that he/she would pay the debt in time.
The following are the exception to persons being credit-constrained :
The Banking regulationsBank loan with lower interest rate.Therefore, it can be said the above option aptly explains the exception that leads to persons being credit-constrained :

Answer:
NPV= -$32.58
Explanation:
The net present value of the investment is the cash inflow from the investment discounted at required rate of return. The required rate of return can be determined using the the formula below:
Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
Ke =? , Rf- 5%,, Rm-15%, β- 1.30
Ke=5% + 1.30× (15-5)= 18%
The NPV = Present value of cash inflow - initial cost
= A×(1-(1+r)^(-10)/r - initial cost
A- 15, r-18%
NPV = 15× (1-1.18^(-10)/0.18 - 100= -32.58
NPV = -$32.58
Zeibart Company purchases equipment for $225,000 on July 1, 2016, with an estimated useful life of 10 years and expected salvage value of $25,000. Straight-line depreciation is used. On July 1, 2020, economic factors cause the market value of the equipment to decline to $90,000. On this date, Zeibart examines the equipment for impairment and estimates $125,000 in future cash inflows related to use of this equipment.
Required:
a. Is the equipment impaired at July 1, 2020?
b. If the equipment is impaired on July I, 2020, compute the impairment loss and prepare a journal entry to record the loss.
Answer:
a. Yes, the equipment is impaired at July 1, 2020.
b. Impairment loss is $20,000. And the journal entries are as follows:
Debit Impairment loss for $20,000
Debit Accumulated depreciation for $80,000
Credit Equipment for $100,000
Explanation:
a. Is the equipment impaired at July 1, 2020?
This can be determined as follows:
Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life = ($225,000 - $25,000) / 10 = $20,000
Accumulated depreciation till July 1, 2020 = Annual depreciation * Number of years from July 1, 2016 to July 1, 2000 = $20,000 * 4 = $80,000
Net book value at July 1, 2020 = Cost - Accumulated depreciation till July 1, 2020 = $225,000 - $80,000 = $145,000
Equipment recoverable amount = Estimated future cash inflows related to use of the equipment = $125,000
Since the net book value of $145,000 is greater than the recoverable amount of the equipment of $125,000, this implies that the equipment is impaired at July 1, 2020.
b. If the equipment is impaired on July I, 2020, compute the impairment loss and prepare a journal entry to record the loss.
Accumulated depreciation till July 1, 2020 = $80,000
Estimated future cash inflows related to use of the equipment = $125,000
Fair market value = $90,000
Recoverable amount = Higher of estimated future cash inflows related to use of the equipment or Fair market value = $125,000
Net book value at July 1, 2020 = $145,000
Impairment loss = Net book value at July 1, 2020 - Recoverable amount = $145,000 - $125,000 = $20,000
The journal entries will then look as follows:
Date Details Debit ($) Credit ($)
01 Jul 2020 Impairment loss 20,000
Accumulated depreciation 80,000
Equipment 100,000
(To record impairment loss.)
The price index was 150 in the first year, 142.5 in the second year, and 138.2 in the third year. The economy experienced:________
a. 5.0 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 3.0 percent deflation between the second and third years.
b. 7.5 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 4.3 percent deflation between the second and third years.
c. 5.3 percent inflation between the first and second years, and 4.1 percent inflation between the second and third years.
d. 7.5 percent inflation between the first and second years, and 4.3 percent inflation between the second and third years.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
5.0 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 3.0 percent deflation between the second and third years. (a)
Explanation:
to calculate the percentage deflation, we will simply calculate the percentage change in price between the years stated. This is calculated as follows:
% change = [tex]\%\ change = \frac{P_2 - P_1}{P_1} \times 100\\where:\\P_1 = initial\ price\ index\\P_2 = New\ price\ index\\for\ first\ and\ second\ years\\\therefore \%\ change = \frac{142.5 - 150}{150} = \frac{-7.5}{150}= -0.05 \times 100 = -5\%\\[/tex]
Note that the negative sign shows a deflation.
if you use the same method for years two and three, you should get -3%, using P₁ as 142.5 and p₂ as 138.2. Hence option 'a' is correct.

small accounting firm is considering the purchase of a computer software package that would greatly reduce the amount of time needed to prepare tax forms. The software costs $2150 and this expense will be incurred immediately. The firm estimates that it will save $650 of cash flow at the end of each year beginning in one year for 5 consecutive years, and also save $1788 in year 6. What is the payback on the computer package
Answer:
Pay back period =3 years 4 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the estimated length of time it takes cash inflow from a project to recoup the cash outflow.
The payback period uses cash flows and not profit.
The payback period can be determined by accumulation the cash inflow consecutively to ascertain the length of time it will take the sum to equate the initial cost.
This will be done as follows:
The sum of the cash in flows for the first three years would equal
650× 3= 1,950
The balance required to equate 2,150 would be
balance = 2150-1950 = 200
Pay back period = 3 years + (200/650)× 12 months
= 3 years 3.6months
Pay back period =3 years 4 months
On December 30, 2017, the Board of Directors of Blue Manufacturing, Inc. committed to a plan to discontinue the operations of its Owl division. Blue estimated that Owl's 2018 operating loss would be $750,000 and that the fair value of Owl's facilities was $450,000 less than their carrying amounts. The estimate for the 2018 operating loss turned out to be correct. Owl's 2017 operating loss was $1,000,000, and the division was actually sold for $400,000 less than its carrying amount in 2018. Blue's effective tax rate is 35%. In its 2017 income statement, what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations
Answer:
$942,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations
Using this formula
Loss from discontinued operations=[(Operating loss+Fair value)*Tax rate]
Let plug in the formula
Loss from discontinued operations=[($1,000,000+ $450,000)* (100% - 35% tax rate)]
Loss from discontinued operations=$1,450,0000*65%
Loss from discontinued operations= $942,500
Therefore what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations is $942,500
