Interest rates are the specific amount charged by the lenders to the borrower when lending money. When the interest rates increase, the demand falls.
What are supply and demand?Supply and demand are the economic pillars for setting the pricing of the objects and other materials in a market. The increased interest rates discourage the demand for funds by the borrowers and the consumers.
The quantity of money remains the same as the supply is not affected but the demand for the money will fall as the consumers, corporations and the consumers will not buy funds and loans at high-interest rates.
Therefore, option D. rises; remains unchanged; falls are the correct order of the blanks.

New lithographic equipment, acquired at a cost of $800,000 at the beginning of a fiscal year, has an estimated useful life of five years and an estimated residual value of $90,000. The manager requested information regarding the effect of alternative methods on the amount of depreciation expense each year. On the basis of the data presented to the manager, the double-declining-balance method was selected. In the first week of the fifth year, the equipment was sold for $135,000. Required: 1. Determine the annual depreciation expense for each of the estimated five years of use, the accumulated depreciation at the end of each year, and the book value of the equipment at the end of each year by (a) the straight-line method and (b) the double declining- balance method. 2. On January 1, journalize the entry to record the sale. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles. 3. On January 1, journalize the entry to record the sale, assuming that the equipment was sold for $88,750 instead of $135,000. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles.
Answer:
Alternative Depreciation Methods
(a) the straight-line method calculations:
Annual depreciation expense for each of the five years of use = $142,000 ($710,000/5)
(b) the double declining- balance method calculations:
Depreciation rate = 100%/5 * 2 = 40%
1st year Depreciation = $320,000 ($800,000 * 40%)
2nd year Depreciation = $192,000 ($480,000 * 40%)
3rd year Depreciation = $115,200 ($288,000 * 40%)
4th year Depreciation = $69,120 ($172,800 * 40%)

A bond with a face value of $1,000 has 10 years until maturity, carries a coupon rate of 7.3%, and sells for $1,170. Interest is paid annually.a. If the bond has a yield to maturity of 10.7% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your anser to nearest whole number.)b. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)c. Now assume that interest is paid semiannually. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond?Slightly greater than your part b answerSlightly less than your part b answerd. If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the annual real rate of return on the bond? (Assume annual interest payments.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer:
a. Price 1 year later = $810
b. Annual rate of return on the bond = -24.53%
c. Since -24.79% is lower than -24.53% obtained part b, this implies that annual rate of return is slightly less than our part b answer.
d. Annual real rate of return on the bond = -26.73%
Explanation:
a. If the bond has a yield to maturity of 10.7% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to nearest whole number.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Price 1 year later = Coupon rate * Par value / Yield to maturity * (1 - 1 / (100% + Yield to maturity)^Years to maturity) + Par value / (100% + Yield to maturity)^Years to maturity = 7.3% * 1000 / 10.7% * (1 - 1 / (100% + 10.7%)^9) + 1000 / (100% + 10.7%)^9 = $810
b. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Annual rate of return on the bond = (Price 1 year later + Coupon rate * Par value) / Price now - 1 = (810 + 7.3% * 1000) / 1170 - 1 = -24.53%
c. Now assume that interest is paid semiannually. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond?Slightly greater than your part b answer Slightly less than your part b answer
This can be determined as follows:
Price 1 year later = (Coupon rate / 2) * Par value / (Yield to maturity / 2) * (1 - 1 / (100% + (Yield to maturity / 2))^(Years to maturity * 2)) + Par value / (100% + (Yield to maturity / 2))^(Years to maturity * 2) = (7.3% / 2) * 1000 / (10.7% / 2) * (1 - 1 / (100% + (10.7% / 2))^(9 * 2)) + 1000 / (100% + (10.7% / 2))^(9 * 2) = $807
Annual rate of return on the bond = (Price 1 year later + Coupon rate * Par value) / Price now - 1 = (807 + (7.3% / 2) * 1000) / 1170 - 1 = -24.79%
Since -24.79% is lower than -24.53% obtained part b, this implies that annual rate of return is slightly less than our part b answer.
d. If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the annual real rate of return on the bond? (Assume annual interest payments.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Annual real rate of return on the bond = (1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation)-1 = (1 - 24.53%) / (1 +3 %) - 1 = -26.73%
A company had net sales of $30,200 and ending accounts receivable of $4,000 for the current period. Its days' sales uncollected equals:_________ (Use 365 days a year.)a) 7.55 days.b) 59.54 days.c) 63.64 days.d) 48.34 days.e) 40.34 days.

Calculation to determine what Its days' sales uncollected equals
Using this formula
Days' sales uncollected=Ending accounts receivable÷Net sales *365 days
Let plug in the formula
Days' sales uncollected=$4,000÷$30,200*365 days
Days' sales uncollected=48.34 days
Therefore Its days' sales uncollected equals:48.34 days

2011 2012
Net fixed assets 815,000 865,000
On its 2012 Income statement, Mertis recorded a depreciation expense of $34,971. What amount of cash did Mertis spend in 2012 on new fixed assets? (Record your answer without a dollar sign and without commas, for example, a record $32,400 as 32400).
Answer:
the amount of cash did Mertis spend in 2012 on new fixed assets is $84,971
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of cash did Mertis spend in 2012 on new fixed assets is shown below;
= ending net fixed assets + depreciation expense - beginning net fixed assets
= $865,000 + $34,971 - $815,000
= $84,971
Hence, the amount of cash did Mertis spend in 2012 on new fixed assets is $84,971
Categorize each scenario as describing a movement along a demand curve or a shift of the demand curve.
a. College students rush and buy discount furniture to take advantage of a one-day sale
b. Students eat out more often as the federal government increase how much grant money it provides
c. College students reduce how detergent they for each of laundry response to higher detergent prices.
d. College students purchase many more energy drinks during finals week than during the rest of the semester.
Answer:
a, a movement along a demand curve
b. shift of the demand curve.
c. a movement along a demand curve
d. shift of the demand curve.
Explanation:
Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the demand curve of that good. Also, only a change in the price of the good would lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity demanded of that good.
Other factors other than the change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the demand curve. Some of those factors include :
1. a change in consumers' expectation
2. a change in the taste of consumers
3. a change in income
a. A discount would reduce the price of furniture, as a result the quantity demanded would increase. There would be a movement down along the demand curve.
b. As a result of the increase in grant, the income of students increase. this would lead to an increase in demand. the demand curve would shift outward
c. As a result of higher prices, the quantity demanded of detergents would reduce. This would lead to a movement up along the demand curve for detergents
d. An increase in demand for energy drinks is as a result of a change in taste. this would lead to an outward shift of the demand curve
Suppose that Portugal and Switzerland both produce fish and olives. Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 3 pounds of fish while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 11 pounds of fish. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that _____________ has a comparative advantage in the production of olives and _________ has a comparative advantage in the production of fish.
Suppose that Portugal and Switzerland consider trading olives and fish with each other. Portugal can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than ___________of fish for each crate of olives it exports to Switzerland. Similarly, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than __________ of olives for each pound of fish it exports to Portugal. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of olives in terms of fish) would allow both Switzerland and Portugal to gain from trade?
a. 6 pounds of fish per crate of olives
b. 2 pounds of fish per crate of olives
c. 8 pounds of fish per crate of olives
d. 18 pounds of fish per crate of olives
Answer:
Portugal has comparative advantage in producing olives.
Switzerland has comparative advantage in producing fish.
Portugal can gain from trade if it receives more than 3 pounds of fish per crate of olives.
Switzerland can gain from trade if it receives more than 1/11 of olives for each pound of fish.
d. 18 pounds of fish per crate of olives.
Explanation:
Switzerland and Portugal both countries can produce Olives and fish. One country has advantage in producing fish while other has advantage in producing olives. Both countries can gain from trade if they find a intermediary way so that both countries can be in win win situation. It is beneficial for Portugal if it trades with Switzerland if it receives more than 3 pounds of fish.

A company enters a futures contract to sell 50,000 units of a commodity for 70 cents per unit. The initial margin is $4,000 and the maintenance margin is $3,000. What change in the futures price (per unit) would lead to a margin call?
Answer:
72 cents
Explanation:
There is going to be a margin call when greater than 1000 dollars has been lost from the margin. Then the balance in the account is going to be smaller than that of the maintenance margin. so 1 cent increase in the price would bring about a lossof
0.01 * 50000
= $500
if the increase in the future price is about 2 cents then there would be a margin call.
70+2 = 72cents, this is when there would be a margin call
The fact that we can derive the British pound/Israeli shekel exchange rate, say, from the dollar/pound rate and the dollar/shekel rate follows from ruling out a potentially profitable arbitrage strategy known as triangular arbitrage. As an example, suppose that the British pound price of a zloty was below the British pound price of a dollar times the dollar price of a zloty, as depicted by the hypothetical data in the following table.

Answer:
Barcelona Restaurants
Actions to avoid to help de-escalate non-functional conflicts are:
b. Communicate hostility verbally or through body language
c. Reject all requests from the Start
d. Raise your voice to get attention about important points
Explanation:
While functional conflicts are viewed as positive and beneficial to an organization because of the role they play to improve performance, therefore, efforts should be made to de-escalate non-functional workplace conflicts. The efforts should hover around adapting effective communication skills, avoiding immediate reactions, and setting appropriate parameters for acceptable conflicts.
Chris and Jane have recently financed the purchase of a new home. They have signed a mortgage note in the amount of $250,000 with a fixed interest rate of 6.25% over 30 years. What would have been the difference, if any, in their monthly payment if they had signed this same note for only a 15-year period
Answer:
Chris and Jane
The difference in their monthly payment if they had signed this same note for only a 15-year period is:
= $8,346.57.
Explanation:
Mortgage Note Payable = $250,000
Fixed interest rate = 6.25%
Period of the note = 30 years or 15 years
Difference in monthly payment:
30-year period = $9,022.96
15-year period = $17,369.53
Difference = $8,346.57
b) The computations show that Chris and Jane pay more per month on a 15-year period mortgage than on a 30-year period mortgage. However, the total interest is more with a 30-year period than with a 15-year period. This shows that interest expense increases more with longer periods of debt.

A company needs 550,000 items per year. It costs the company $330 to prepare a production run of these items and $5 to produce each item. If it also costs the company $0.75 per year for each item stored, find the number of items that should be produced in each run so that total costs of production and storage are minimized. items/run
Answer:
Company A
The number of items that should be produced in each run to minimize total costs of production and storage is:
= 22,000 units
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total annual demand = 550,000 units
Cost per production run = $330
Cost per unit = $5
Storage (holding) cost per item = $0.75
The number of items that should be produced in each run to minimize total costs of production and storage is given by Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) formula
= square root of (2 * 550,000 * $330)/$0.75
= square root of $363,000,000/$0.75
= square root of 484,000,000
= 22,000 units
The following table reports real income per person for several different economies in the years 1960 and 2010. It also gives each economy's average annual growth rate during this period. For example, real income per person in Zambia was $1,412 in 1960, and it actually declined to $1,309 by 2010. Zambia's average annual growth rate during this period was -0.15%, and it was the poorest economy in the table in the year 2010. The real income-per-person figures are denominated in U.S. dollars with a base year of 2005. The following exercises will help you to understand the different growth experiences of these economies.
Economy Real Income per Person in 1960 (Dollars) Real Income per Person in 2010 (Dollars) Annual Growth Rate (Percent)
Austria 9,773 35,031 2.59
Venezuela 7,307 9,762 0.58
Botswana 468 9,515 6.21
Malaysia 4,624 11,863 4.06
Honduras 1,932 3,146 0.98
Zambia 1,412 1,309 -0.15
Indicate which economy satisfies each of the following statements.
a. This economy experiences the fastest rate of growth in real income per person from 1960 to 2010.
b. This economy had the highest level of real income per person in the year 2010.
Answer:
a. Botswana b. AustriaExplanation:
Botswana had the fastest growth in real income per person from 1960 to 2010 with an annual growth rate of 6.21%. This is most likely down to the discovery of diamonds in the country towards the end of the 20th century.
In 2010, Austria had the highest real income per person with an income of $35,031. This is most likely due to the fact that Austria has a heavy presence in the service industry and a low population of less than 10 million people.

Your grandparents put $10,200 into an account so that you would have spending money in college. You put the money into an account that will earn an APR of 4.19 percent compounded monthly. If you expect that you will be in college for 4 years, how much can you withdraw each month?
Answer:
Monthly withdrawal = $ 231.17 per month
Explanation:
Below is the calculation:
Deposit amount in the bank = $10200
Interest rate earned by the deposit = 4.19%
Monthly interest rate = 4.19% / 12 = 0.34917%
Number of periods = 4 years x 12 = 48
Amount in the account = Monthly withdrawal x (P/A, 0.34917%, 48)
10200 = Monthly withdrawal x 44.12246
Monthly withdrawal = 10200/44.12246
Monthly withdrawal = $ 231.17 per month
One of the objectives of accounting is to help investors and creditors assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows to them.
a. cannot say if it is true or false given the limited information provided
b. this is always a false statement
c. although false for most of the times, there are several exceptions detailed in Canadian GAAP
d. this is always a true statement
e. although true for most of the times, there are several exceptions detailed in Canadian GAAP
Answer: d. this is always a true statement
Explanation:
Accounting is very important in decision making because it provides figures that are useful in planning for the future of an investment. The information provided from accounting analysis helps us determine the amount of cashflows as well as the timing and uncertainty of same.
This is done through various formulas such as Discounted cash flow analysis and Residual income measures. Accounting is therefore invaluable to the financial industry because without it, we would stand a far worse chance of planning for business projects.
Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,500 light fixtures (units) at $5 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 7,500 units at $6.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $4.50 per unit, which includes $3.00 variable cost and $1.50 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $1,000 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. Should the company accept the special order?
A. No, because additional production would exceed capacity.
B. No, because incremental costs exceed incremental revenue.
C. No because incrementa conse o Yes, because incremental revenue exceeds incremental costs.
D. Yes, because incremental costs exceed incremental revenues.
E. No, because the incremental revenue is too low.
Answer:
D. Yes, because incremental costs exceed incremental revenues.
Explanation:
Given that
The Selling price of the order is $5
The Variable cost of manufacturing is $3
The Contribution per unit is $2
The Number of units is 1500
now
Total contribution
= 1500 × $2
= $3,000
Less: Machine costs ($1000)
Tota incremental revenue $2,000
As the incremental revenue is positive and exceeds the incremental cost so the special order can be accepted

Gray, Stone, and Lawson open an accounting practice on January 1, 2016, in San Diego, California, to be operated as a partnership. Gray and Stone will serve as the senior partners because of their years of experience. To establish the business, Gray, Stone, and Lawson contribute cash and other properties valued at $410,000, $340,000, and $170,000, respectively. An articles of partnership agreement is drawn up. It has the following stipulations:
Personal drawings are allowed annually up to an amount equal to 10 percent of the beginning capital balance for the year.
Profits and losses are allocated according to the following plan:
1. A salary allowance is credited to each partner in an amount equal to $8 per billable hour worked by that individual during the year.
2. Interest is credited to the partners’ capital accounts at the rate of 12 percent of the average monthly balance for the year (computed without regard for current income or drawings).
3. An annual bonus is to be credited to Gray and Stone. Each bonus is to be 10 percent of net income after subtracting the bonus, the salary allowance, and the interest. Also included in the agreement is the provision that there will be no bonus if there is a net loss or if salary and interest result in a negative remainder of net income to be distributed.
4. Any remaining partnership profit or loss is to be divided evenly among all partners.
Because of financial shortfalls encountered in getting the business started, Gray invests an additional $9,200 on May 1, 2016. On January 1, 2017, the partners allow Monet to buy into the partnership. Monet contributes cash directly to the business in an amount equal to a 20 percent interest in the book value of the partnership property subsequent to this contribution. The partnership agreement as to splitting profits and losses is not altered upon Monet’s entrance into the firm; the general provisions continue to be applicable. The billable hours for the partners during the first three years of operation follow:
2016 2017 2018
Gray 2,020 4,200 2,130
Stone 1,680 2,300 1,860
Lawson 3,700 1,620 1,550
Monet 0 1,430 1,820
The partnership reports net income for 2016 through 2018 as follows:
2016 $98,000
2017 (44,400)
2018 236,000
Each partner withdraws the maximum allowable amount each year.

Western Electric has 34,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $83 and a rate of return of 12.80 percent. The firm has 7,500 shares of 8.20 percent preferred stock outstanding at a price of $97.00 per share. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. The outstanding debt has a total face value of $416,000 and currently sells for 113 percent of face. The yield to maturity on the debt is 8.20 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 40 percent
Answer:
11.03 %
Explanation:
Cost of Capital = Cost of equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt.
where,
Cost of equity = 12.80 %
Cost of Preferred Stock = 8.20 %
Cost of Debt = 8.20 x (1 - 0.40) = 4.92 %
also,
Total Market Value = 34,000 x $83 + 7,500 x $97.00 + $416,000 x 113%
= $2,822,000 + $727,500 + $470,080
= $4,019,580
Weight of Equity = $2,822,000 ÷ $4,019,580 = 0.70
Weight of Preferred Stock = $727,500 ÷ $4,019,580 = 0.18
Weight of Debt = $470,080 ÷ $4,019,580 = 0.12
therefore,
Cost of Capital = 12.80 % x 0.70 + 8.20 % x 0.18 + 4.92 % x 0.12
= 11.03 %
Mickley Company’s plantwide predetermined overhead rate is $20.00 per direct labor-hour and its direct labor wage rate is $15.00 per hour. The following information pertains to Job A-500: Direct materials $ 280 Direct labor $ 150 Required: 1. What is the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job A-500? 2. If Job A-500 consists of 70 units, what is the unit product cost for this job? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1.
Total hours for job A - 500
= Direct labor ÷direct labor wage rate
= $150 ÷ $15
= 10
Total over head cost = overhead cost per labor hours × no. of labor hours
= $20 × 10
= $200
total manufacturing cost = Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Total over head cost
= $280 + $150 + $200
= $630
2.
Cost assigned to each unit
= total manufacturing cost ÷ number of units
= $630 ÷ 70
= $9

Griffin Co.'s cost of capital is 8 percent.(a) Calculate the net present value of the proposed investment. Ignore income taxes, and round all answers to the nearest $1. (b) What will the internal rate of return on this investment be relative to the cost of capital?
Answer:
$-2,378.47

Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
Cash flow in year 0 = $-136,000
Cash flow in year 1 to 7 = $22,500
Cash flow in year 2 = $22,500 + 8,000
I = 8 %
NPV = $-2,378.47
IRR = 7.55

Alexandria's Dance Studio is currently an all-equity firm with earnings before interest and taxes of $338,000 and a cost of equity of 14.2%. The tax rate is 34%. Alexandria is considering adding $400,000 of debt with a coupon rate of 7% to her capital structure. The debt will be sold at par value. What is the levered value of the equity?
Answer:
$1,306,986
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is the levered value of the equity
First step is to calculate the VL
VL = {[$338,000 × (1 - .34)] / .142} + (.34 × $400,000)
VL= $1,706,986
Now let calculate the levered value of the equity (VE)
VE = $1,706,986 - $400,000
VE = $1,306,986
Therefore the levered value of the equity is $1,306,986
Mr. Hopper expects to retire in 30 years, and he wishes to accumulate $1,000,000 in his retirement fund by that time. If the interest rate is 12% per year, how much should Mr. Hopper put into his retirement fund at the end of each year in order to achieve this goal
Answer:
Annual deposit = $4100
Explanation:
Annual deposit = $4100
Number of years for retirement = 30 years
Future value of money = $1000000
Interest rate = 12%
Now use the below formula to find the annuity amount.
Annual deposit = Future value (A/F, r, n)
Annual deposit = 1000000 (A/F, 12%, 30)
Annual deposit = 1000000(0.0041)
Annual deposit = $4100
The amount Mr Hopper should put in his retirement fund each year is $4143.66.
In order to determine the amount of money Mr. Hopper should deposit each year, this formula would be used:
Yearly payment = future value / annuity factor
Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r
Where:
R = interest rate
N = number of years
Annuity factor = [(1.12)^30 - 1] / 0.12 = 241.332684
Yearly payment = $1,000,000 / 241.332684 = $4143.66

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Demand analysis is the process of understanding the customer demand for a product or service in a target market. Companies use demand analysis techniques to determine if they can successfully enter a market and generate expected profits to expand their business operations. It also gives a better understanding of the high-demand markets for the company’s offerings, using which businesses can determine the viability of investing in each of these markets. The importance of demand analysis in the business decision is that it helps firms design their pricing policy. The Firm can choose either to lower or raise a product’s price by observing the trend of consumer demand for that product. Producers can’t fix the price for their products without first understanding the market demand for them. These are reasons why I think demand analysis is essential for businesses
