Answer: 8.3
Explanation:
The times interest earned is used to estimate the ability of a company to pay its debt payments using income from operations.
It is calculated by the formula:
= Earnings before interest and tax / Interest expense
Earnings before interest and tax:
= Earnings before tax + Interest expense
= 730,000 + 100,000
= $830,000
Times interest earned:
= 830,000 / 100,000

Other things equal, compared to using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) inventory cost method, using the last-in-first-out (LIFO) method in a rising price environment will result in a higher:____________
A. quick ratio.
B. inventory turnover ratio.
C. gross profit margin.
Answer:
B. inventory turnover ratio.
Explanation:
My best guess is that the inventory turnover ratio will be greater when LIFO is used during rising price environment because COGS will be higher and the inventory costs will be lower under LIFO than under FIFO.
Hope its correct.

At December 31, 2020, Suffolk Corporation had an estimated warranty liability of $105,000 for accounting purposes and $0 for tax purposes. (The warranty costs are not deductible until paid.) The effective tax rate is 20%. Compute the amount Suffolk should report as a deferred tax asset at December 31, 2020.
Answer:
Deferred tax asset = $21000
Explanation:
Given the warranty liability = $105000
Effective tax rate = 20%
The deferred tax asset can be calculated by calculating the effective tax from the warranty liability. Therefore, just multiply the effective tax rate to the warranty liability.
Deferred tax asset = Effective tax rate x Warranty liability
Deferred tax asset = 20% x $105000
Deferred tax asset = $21000
You are an economist studying the small country of Mardodus. As you look at the data, you see Mardodus has experienced an influx of updated technology to its manufacturing plants, service industry and the medical field in the last three years. This change boosted the growth of the country’s productivity by 75%, yet you see that wages have been very slow to respond to this growth. As you begin to analyze the natural unemployment rate for this time frame, what do you most likely discover?
Answer: Natural rate of unemployment will decrease because the productivity growth in the short term has passed up wage growth.
Explanation:
The natural unemployment rate simply means the lowest unemployment rate where the inflation in the economy is stable.
Based on the information given in the question, if the natural unemployment rate for this time frame.is analyzed, the natural rate of unemployment will reduce due to the fact that the productivity growth in the short term has passed up wage growth.
The cost of preferred stock
Preferred stock is a hybrid security, because it has some characteristics typical of debt and others typical of equity. The following table lists various characteristics of preferred stock. Determine which of these characteristics is consistent with debt and which is consistent with equity.
Characteristics Debt Equity
Dividends are fixed
Usually has no specified maturity date
Consider the case of Tamin Enterprises:
At the present time, Tamin Enterprises does not have any preferred stock outstanding but is looking to include preferred stock in its capital structure in the future. Tamin has found some institutional investors that are willing to purchase its preferred stock issue provided that it pays a perpetual dividend of $11 per share. If the investors pay $97.95 per share for their investment, then Tamin's cost of preferred stock (rounded to four decimal places) will be:_____.
Answer:
Dividends are fixed ⇒ Debt
Preferred dividends are fixed much like the interest payments made on debt which makes this a characteristic of debt.
Usually have no specified maturity date ⇒ Equity
Equity does not have an expiration or maturity date and preferred shares share this same characteristic.
Cost of preferred stock.
The value of a Preferred stock is calculated by the formula:
Price = Dividend / Cost of preferred stock
97.95 = 11 / Cp
97.95 * Cp = 11
Cp = 11/ 97.95
= 11.23%
ng 40\%; \$4.400 A company is considering the purchase of a new machine for $ 63,000 . Management predicts that the machine can produce sales of $ 17,500 each year for the next 10 years . Expenses are expected to include direct materials , direct labor , and factory overhead totaling 6,500 per year including depreciation of per year . Income tax expense is per year based on a tax rate of What the payback period for the new machine
Answer:
3 years and 8 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the length of time that it takes for the cashflow of a project to equal the initial investment of the project.
Initial investment = $ 63,000
Cash flow :
Sales $ 17,500
Less Expenses ($6,500)
Add Depreciation ($ 63,000 ÷ 10) $6,300
Annual Cash flow $17,300
thus,
It takes 3 years and 8 months ($11,100/$17,300 x 12) for the cashflow of a project to equal the initial investment for the new machine.

= 4% + 4%
= 8%
Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of 0.75 is experiencing severe recession. Instructions: In part a, round your answers to 2 decimal places. Enter positive numbers. In part b, enter your answers as whole numbers. a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion? $ billion. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? $ billion. b. Determine one possible combination of government spending increases and tax increases that would accomplish the same goal without changing the amount of outstanding debt (because it maintains a balanced budget, G = T).
Answer:
a-1. Amount of rise in government expenditure required = $6.25 billion
a-2. Tax multiplier = -3
b. The combination is as follows:
Increase in spending = $25 billion
increase in taxes = $25 billion
Explanation:
a-1. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion? $ billion.
Spending multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.75) = 4
Amount of rise in government expenditure required = Change in aggregate demand / Spending multiplier = $25 / 4 = $6.25 billion
a-2. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? $ billion.
Tax multiplier = - MPC / (1 - MPC) = - 0.75 / (1 - 0.75) = -3
Amount of tax cut required = Change in aggregate demand / Tax multiplier = $25 / (-3) = $8.33 billion
b. Determine one possible combination of government spending increases and tax increases that would accomplish the same goal without changing the amount of outstanding debt (because it maintains a balanced budget, G = T).
The amount is the amount of the balanced budget, which has a multiplier of one. This indicates that spending and taxes need be increased by $25 billion each to boost GDP by $125 billion. Therefore, the combination is as follows:
Increase in spending = $25 billion
increase in taxes = $25 billion
Contrary to popular opinion, CEOs of major U.S. companies come from a wide variety of private universities and state universities, not just a handful of well-publicized MBA programs. What does this fact tell you about sources of power and organizational politics
Answer: Power is earned
Explanation:
The fact that so many influential CEOs come from such a wide array of universities shows that they had to work to get to where they are today and were not simply handed positions because of the university they came from.
It shows that if one wants to succeed in business, their alma mater does not matter. They could be from an Ivy league college or from a state college in Mississippi, what matters is their determination to work hard and gain a good track record that will take them all the way to the top.
Acme Company is considering investing in a new machine that costs $126,594 and that has a useful life of 12 years with no salvage value. The machine will generate $19,500 annually in net cash inflows. The internal rate of return on the investment is: (Round your intermediate calculations to 3-decimals and your internal rate of return calculations to the nearest whole percent.)
Answer: 11%
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the rate that will equate the cash inflows with the cost of investment.
It is therefore the discount rate used to find the present value of an annuity because the inflows are stable and are therefore annuities.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value factor of annuity, 12 years, %?
126,594 = 19,500 * Present value of annuity factor
Present value of annuity factor = 126,594 / 19,500
= 6.492
Go to a present value of annuity factor table and find the interest rate that intersects with 12 years to give a factor of 6.492:
Rate is 11%

Market efficiency is probably the most controversial concept in finance. Even recent winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics come down on opposite sides of the issue. Nonetheless, it is important for you to grapple with this idea. It has very important practical implications for investment decisions, including (especially) for your personal investment decision. In particular, should you pursue active or passive strategies
Answer:
Active strategies should be pursued when the market is more volatile, with larger fluctuations over a shorter period of time, that require a more active management of a portfolio, in order to take advantage of fast changing positions in different assets, and also in order to avoid possible losses due to staying in particular positions for too long.
Passive strategies is more long-term focused, and should be pursued when the economy is more stable. Passive strategies should be analyzed carefully before execution because once the passive investment is made, the idea is to keep the position for a long period of time instead of buying and selling constantly as in a active strategy.

Oliver's long-term care policy covers only services in a nursing facility and pays nothing for services provided at home or in the community. What kind of LTC policy does Oliver own?
Question options:
a. facility-challenged
b. substandard
c. tier 1
d. noncomprehensive
Answer:
d. noncomprehensive
Explanation:
Oliver has a noncomprehensive long term care(LTC). A non comprehensive long term care is policy that restricts services to the ones provided at a nursing facility, and so Oliver pays for the benefits of only the services of a nursing facility . It is different from a comprehensive long term care where services cover and can be provided at an adult day care, home, assisted living facilities, or at nursing facilities.
Oliver's policy which does not cover nursing facilities provided at home or in the community is known as a Non-comprehensive health insurance policy. So, the correct option is D.
A non-comprehensive policy is a type of policy that covers only expenses related to the health of the customer that are provided in the hospital in-house premises only.
It is to be noted that there are no nursing facility expenses reimbursed or paid to the policy holder in case of health issues faced, if any. There are several other types of policies which reimburse such expenses.In a non-comprehensive policy, the policy holder is entitled to receive health benefits of only core hospitalization and any other expenses like bedding, medications, out-house nursing facilities, etc.The premium to be paid on the non-comprehensive policy is less compared to a comprehensive policy as the benefits to be availed are also less and so the drill.Hence, the correct option is D that the non-comprehensive policy does not cover nursing facilities taken in-house or at the community.
