Answer:

Direct material price variance= $25,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard price= $16

During March, Marks made 10,000 units of the product, using 50,000 pounds at a total purchase price of $825,000.

To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 825,000/50,000= $16.5

Direct material price variance= (16 - 16.5)*50,000

Direct material price variance= $25,000 unfavorable

Answer:

$110,000 on maturity

Interest of $6,050 semiannually

Explanation:

Jordan will pay $110,000 at maturity date with 20 payments of  $6050 as interest

11% bonds at par value = $110,000

Interest paid = Semiannually

Market rate = 10%

At maturity, the par value will be paid as the par value of Jordan issued bonds is 110,000, therefore, Jordan will pay 110,000 on the maturity date.

As the bonds are issued for 10 years with semiannual payments that will be like 20 payments of $6,050 (110,000 x 10% x 6/12)

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Equilibrium Output or GDP is calculated by the expression;

Output or Y = Consumption + Investment + Government expenditure + Net exports

Net exports and Government expenditure are assumed to be 0.

Consumption  = 100 + 0.9Y

Investment = $300 billion

Y = 100 + 0.9Y + 300

Y - 0.9Y = 400

Y = 400/0.1

Y = $4,000 billion

2. Y = 50 + 0.9Y + 300

Y - 0.9Y = 350

0.1Y = 350

Y = 350/0.1

Y = $3,500 Billion

Answer:

S

Explanation:

Answer:

WACC = 21.7%

Explanation:

The firm is an all-equity finance firm which implies that the company uses only equity funds to finance its its operation without the use of debt. Therefore, the cost of the equity of the firm would be the same as its cost of capital (WACC)

The WACC can be determined using the the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). The CAPM relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c  

Using the CAPM , the required rate of return is given as follows:  

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r) - required return

β- Beta

Rm- Return on market  

Rf- Risk-free rate

Rm-Rf- Market risk premium

DATA

E(r) =? , Rf- 2.5%, Rm-Rf- 6% , β- 1.2

E(r) = 2.5% + 1.2× (16%) = 21.7 %

Cost of equity = 21.7%

WACC = 21.7%

Answer:

b

Explanation:

Answer:

b. 1.50(150%)

Explanation:

Given that, the standard time per packages is 10 minutes

Then, the total time taken in eight hour shift is 8 * 60 = 480 minutes

The standard output = Total time taken / Standard time = 480/10 = 48 packages

Therefore, the efficiency of Kaitlyn = Kaitlyn's Output / Standard output

=72 / 48

= 1.5

Hence, the answer is 150% or 1.5

Complete Question:

What type of policy lowers interest rates to allow individuals access to more money for large purchases?

Group of answer choices

A. Fiscal.

B. Stimulus.

C. Discount.

D. Monetary.

Answer:

D. Monetary.

Explanation:

Monetary policy can be defined as the actions (macroeconomic policies) adopted and undertaken by the central bank of a particular country to control the money supply and interest rates so as to boost or enhance economic growth. The central bank uses monetary policies to manage inflation, economic growth through long-term interest rates and level of unemployment in a country. In order to boost economic growth, monetary policy is used to increase money supply (liquidity) while it is also used to prevent inflation by reducing money supply.

Generally, money supply comprises of checks, cash, money market mutual funds (MMF) and credit (mortgage, bonds and loans).

Additionally, monetary policy lowers interest rates to allow individuals access to more money for large purchases.

Answer:C

Explanation: A company that has many fixed costs

Answer:

a. The answers are as follows:

(i) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 4%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0

(ii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 6.25%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.25

(iii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 8.50%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.50

(iv) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 10.75%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.75

(v) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 13%; and Beta of Portfolio = 1.0

b. Change in expected return = 9% increase

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as part b of it is omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%.

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The explanation to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

To calculate these, we use the following formula:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (WS&P * RS&P) + (WT * RT) ………… (1)

Beta of Portfolio = (WS&P * BS&P) + (WT * BT) ………………..………………. (2)

Where;

WS&P = Weight of S&P = (1) – (1v)

RS&P = Return of S&P = 13%, or 0.13

WT = Weight of T-bills = 1 – WS&P

RT = Return of T-bills = 4%, or 0.04

BS&P = 1.0

BT = 0

After substituting the values into equation (1) & (2), we therefore have:

(i) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0 (i.e. WS&P = 0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0) * 0.04) = 0.04, or 4%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0) * 0) = 0

(ii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.25 (i.e. WS&P = 0.25)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.25 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0.04) = 0.0625, or 6.25%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.25 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0) = 0.25

(iii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.50 (i.e. WS&P = 0.50)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.50 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0.04) = 0.0850, or 8.50%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.50 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0) = 0.50

(iv) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.75 (i.e. WS&P = 0.75)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.75 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0.04) = 0.1075, or 10.75%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.75 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0) = 0.75

(v) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 1.0 (i.e. WS&P = 1.0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (1.0 * 0.13) + ((1 – 1.0) * 0.04) = 0.13, or 13%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (1.0 * 1.0) + (1 – 1.0) * 0) = 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

There expected return will increase by the percentage of the difference between Expected Return and Risk free rate. That is;

Change in expected return = Expected Return - Risk free rate = 13% - 4% = 9% increase

Answer:

a) total return = ($1,000 x 4.2%) + ($950 - $900) = $92

b) nominal rate of return = total return / total investment = $92 / $900 = 10.22%

c) we calculate the approximate real rate of return = nominal rate of return - inflation rate = 10.22% - 2.5% = 7.72%

if we want to determine the exact real rate of return:

exact real rate of return = [(1 + nominal rate) / (1 + inflation rate)] - 1 = (1.1022 /1.025) - 1 = 7.53%

Answer:

$3,289.5

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of recorded interest expense for the first semiannual interest period is shown below:-

Amortization of premium = Premium amount ÷ Number of semi-annual periods

where

Premium amount = Par value - issue price

= $102,105 - $100,000

= $2,105

Number of semi-annual periods = 5 × 2

= 10 periods

Amortization of premium = $2,105 ÷ 10

= 210.5

Semi-annual interest expense = Face value × Coupon rate × (6 ÷ 12)

= $100,000 × 7% × (6 ÷ 12)

= $3,500

First semi-annual interest expense = $3,500 - 210.5

= $3,289.5

Answer:

 1.1 The ratio from the list below which measures the efficiency of the operations of a company is D - Total Asset Turnover Ratio.  

Explanation:

Total Asset Turn Over Ratio is calculated by dividing Net Sales by Average Total Assets.

For example, if company CDH is reporting a value of $499,650 as initial total assets and $387,656 as ending total assets. Within the same period, the company generated sales of $250,655, with sales returns of $17,000.

This means that, the asset turnover ratio for Company CDH is calculated as follows:

($250,655-$17,000)/(($387,656+$499,650)/2)

The answer is 0.52667

Thus, every dollar in total assets generates $0.52667 in sales.

Efficiency ratios are important for rating the operations of the business. They are also used by investors and lenders when conducting financial analysis of businesses to decide whether the companies are a good investment.

1.2 The component which summarises the components applicable in 1.1 is D Total Asset Turnover          

2. Working capital is the variance between current assets and current liabilities.

. This is simply the capital that an organisation uses in its day-to-day business operations.

3.   The short-term liquidity ratios which calculate how frequently a company collects its accounts are:

A) Days' sales Uncollected and

C) Accounts receivable turnover.

A) Days' sales Uncollected is calculated by

(Accounts receivable/Net annual credit sales) x 365

It is the number of days before receivables are collected.

The lower the ratio the more liquid the company is likely to be. High Days' Sales Uncollected Ratios are bad for business.

C) Accounts receivable turnover is the annual rate at which a business collects its average accounts receivable.

Explanation:

Long-term capital gains tax is a tax on profits from the sale of an asset which an investor has held for more than a year. The approved long-term capital gains tax rates are 0%, 15% or 20% depending on your taxable income bracket and whether you are filing as a single or jointly as married.  But, an important point to note is that long-term capital gains tax rates are generally lower than short-term capital gains tax rates, thus encouraging investors to hold assets for a longer time.  Short-term capital gains tax rates are the rates applicable to the normal individual income tax brackets.

Answer:

Bond Price = $4698.59

Explanation:

The price of  a bond is equal to the present value of the interest payments, which are in form of an annuity, made by the bond plus the present value of the face value of the bond.

The formula to calculate the price of the bond is attached.

The semi annual coupon rate = 6.6% / 2 = 3.3%

Total period = 2 * 2 = 4

Semi annual YTM = 10% / 2 = 5%

Semi annual coupon payment = 5000 * 0.033 = 165

Bond Price = 165 * [( 1 - (1 + 0.05)^-4) / 0.05]  +  5000 / (1+0.05)^4

Bond Price = $4698.59

Answer:  B. decreases aggregate supply because​ firms' costs increase
