The amount that the Land account should be increased by is:
= $1,800.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of land bought on 12/31/20 = $50,000
Value of land on 3/31/21 = $50,700
Appraised value of land on 21/31/21 = $51,800
The amount that the Land account should be increased by is $1,800 ($51,800 - $50,000)
b) Land is always appraised by a professional appraiser who uses the value of similar property in the same location to determine the value. Appraisal helps to determine the value of the property, especially if it is being sold to another party or being used as collateral to obtain finance.

Suppose banks increase excess reserves by $ 471845 . If the reserve ratio is 12 percent, what is the maximum increase in the money supply
Answer:
$3,932,025.94
Explanation:
Multiplier = 1 / rr
Multiplier = 1 / Reserve ratio
Multiplier = 1 / 0.12
Multiplier = 8.3333
Increase in money supply = Multiplier * Increase in excess reserves
Increase in money supply = 8.3333 * $471,845
Increase in money supply = $3,932,025.94
So, the maximum increase in the money supply is $3,932,025.94.

We are given the following information for the Pettit Corporation.
Sales (credit) $3,549,000
Cash 179,000
Inventory 911,000
Current liabilities 788,000
Asset turnover 1.40 times
Current ratio 2.95 times
Debt-to-assets ratio 40%
Receivables turnover 7 times
Current assets are composed of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and inventory.
Calculate the following balance sheet items:
a. Accounts receivable.
b. Marketable securities.
c. Fixed assets.
d. Long-term debt.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. Accounts receivables
= Sales / Receivables turnover
= $3,549,000 / 7x
= $507,000
b. Marketable securities
= Current assets - (Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventory)
Where;
Current asset = Current ratio × Current liabilities
Current asset = 2.95 × $788,000
Current asset = $2,348,240
Hence,
Marketable securities
= $2,348,240 - ($179,000 + $507,000 + $911,000)
= $2,348,240 - $1,597,000
= $751,240
c. Fixed assets
Total assets = Current assets + Fixed assets
$2,535,000 = $2,348,240 + Fixed assets
Fixed assets = $2,535,000 - $2,348,240
Fixed assets = $186,760
d. Long term debt
= Total debt - Current liabilities
Where,
Total debt = Debt to assets × Total assets
= 40% × ($3,549,000 / 1.40)
= 40% × $2,535,000
= $1,014,000
Hence,
Long term debt
= $1,014,000 - $788,000
= $226,000
1. Given the following demand and supply functions Qd = 500 - 3P Qs = 100 + 5P Calculate; i. The equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity ii. The consumer surplus iii. The producer surplus)R
Given:
The demand and supply functions are:
[tex]Q_d=500-3P[/tex]
[tex]Q_s=100+5P[/tex]
To find:
i. The equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity.
ii. The consumer surplus .
iii. The producer surplus.
Explanation:
(i) At equilibrium, the demand and supply are equal. So, equating both functions, we get
[tex]500-3P=100+5P[/tex]
[tex]500-100=3P+5P[/tex]
[tex]400=8P[/tex]
Divide both sides by 8, we get
[tex]\dfrac{400}{8}=P[/tex]
[tex]50=P[/tex]
Putting [tex]P=50[/tex] in the demand function, we get
[tex]Q_d=500-3(50)[/tex]
[tex]Q_d=500-150[/tex]
[tex]Q_d=350[/tex]
Therefore, the equilibrium price is 50 and the equilibrium quantity is 350.
(ii)
The area under the demand curve and above the equilibrium price is known as consumer surplus. It is represent by the green area in the below figure.
The area of a triangle is:
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base \times height[/tex]
So, the area of consumer surplus is:
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 50 \times (500-350)[/tex]
[tex]A=25 \times 150[/tex]
[tex]A=3750[/tex]
Therefore, the consumer surplus is 3750.
(iii)
The area above the supply curve and below the equilibrium price is known as producer surplus. It is represent by the purple area in the below figure.
So, the area of producer surplus is:
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 50 \times (350-100)[/tex]
[tex]A=25 \times 250[/tex]
[tex]A=6250[/tex]
Therefore, the producer surplus is 6250.

Clark's Chemical Company received refundable deposits on returnable
containers in the amount of $100,000 during 2018. Twelve percent of the
containers were not returned. The deposits are based on the container cost
marked up 20%. What is cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture?
a. $0.
b. $2,000.
c. $10,000.
d. $14,400.
Answer: $10000
Explanation:
The cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture will be calculated thus:
= (Refundable deposit × percent of not returned) / (1 + Markup percentage on cost)
= ($100000 × 12%) / ( 1 + 20%)
= ($100000 × 0.12) / ( 1 + 0.2)
= $12000 / 1.20
= $10000
The cost of goods sold is $10000
Holt Enterprises recently paid a dividend, D0, of $3.50. It expects to have nonconstant growth of 19% for 2 years followed by a constant rate of 10% thereafter. The firm's required return is 13%. How far away is the horizon date? The terminal, or horizon, date is Year 0 since the value of a common stock is the present value of all future expected dividends at time zero. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes nonconstant. This occurs at time zero. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the beginning of Year 2. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2. The terminal, or horizon, date is infinity since common stocks do not have a maturity date.
Answer:
Holt Enterprises
The terminal, or horizon, date is:
the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2.
Explanation:
a) Recent dividend, DO = $3.50
Expected non-constant growth = 19%
Period of non-constant growth = 2 years
Expected constant rate of growth = 10% after 2 years of non-constant growth
The firm's required return rate = 13%
b) The terminal or horizon date is, therefore, from the end of year 2 or beginning of year 3, when constant growth sets in with the Holt stock.
At the horizon date the dividend, D3, must have grown to $5.42 approx.
Then, the horizon value is given by the formula = D3 / required rate - growth rate
= 5.42 / 0.13 - 0.01
= 5.42 / 0.03
= $181
What will happen when the country's
currency is undervalued?
Answer:
Ur answer is that When the U.S. dollar is undervalued, the cost of a basket of goods in the United States is lower than the cost in Mexico when evaluated at the current exchange rate. To a U.S. tourist, Mexican goods and services would seem more expensive on average. Thus an undervalued currency will buy less in other countries.

3. Assume that on January 2, 2022, the copyrighted item was impaired in its ability to continue to produce strong revenues. The other intangible assets were not affected. Starn estimated that the copyright would be able to produce future cash flows of $22,100. The fair value of the copyright was determined to be $21,100. Compute the amount, if any, of the impairment loss to be recorded.
Answer:
The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is $6,800.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
On January 1, 2020, Starn Tool & Manufacturing Company purchased a copyright for $31,000 cash. It is estimated that the copyrighted item will have no value by the end of 10 years.
Assume that on January 2, 2022, the copyrighted item was impaired in its ability to continue to produce strong revenues. The other intangible assets were not affected. Starn estimated that the copyright would be able to produce future cash flows of $22,100. The fair value of the copyright was determined to be $21,100. Compute the amount, if any, of the impairment loss to be recorded.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Amortization expenses for 2020 = Annual amortization expense = Copyright cost / Estimated useful life of the copyright = $31,000 / 10 = $3,100
Book value of copyright on January 2, 2022 = Copyright cost - Amortization expenses for 2020 = $31,000 - $3,100 = $27,900
Copyright fair value = $21,100
Impairment loss = Book value of copyright on January 2, 2022 - Copyright fair value = $27,900 - $21,100 = $6,800
Therefore, the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is $6,800.
Problems and Applications Q11 You are the curator of a museum. The museum is running short of funds, so you decide to increase revenue. When should you raise the admission price in order to increase revenue
Answer: Only when demand is inelastic
Explanation:
For a product that has an inelastic demand, the demand of a buyer with regards to a product has minimal changes when when there is a change in price. In such case, an increase in the price will lead to an increase in revenue.
On the other hand, for a product that has an elastic demand, there will be a greater change in the demand of the buyer when when there is a change in price. In such case, an inrease in the price will lead to an reduction in revenue as buyers will go for other products.
Therefore, the admission price should be increased when demand is inelastic in order to increase revenue.

LOL Music Store uses the perpetual inventory system to account for its merchandise. On November 17, it purchased $1,000 of merchandise with terms of 2/5,n/60. If payment is made on November 21. Demonstrate the required journal entry to record the payment.
Answer:
LOL Music Store
Journal Entry to record the payment:
November 21:
Debit Accounts Payable $1,000
Credit Cash $980
Credit Cash Discounts $20
To record the payment on account.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
November 17: Inventory $1,000 Accounts Payable $1,000
November 21: Accounts Payable $1,000 Cash $980 Cash Discounts $20
b) When LOL Music Store uses the perpetual inventory system to account for its merchandise, it debits the Inventory account instead of the Purchases account on November 17. The credit entry goes to the Accounts Payable account. On November 21, when payment is made, the Accounts Payable is debited while the Cash account and Cash Discounts are correspondingly credited.
Two firms (1 and 2) compete in a homogeneous goods market, where the firms produce exactly the same good. The firms simultaneously and independently select quantities to produce. The quantity selected by firm i is denoted q, and must be greater than or equal to zero, for i - 1,2. The market price is given by p-2 - q1 -q2. For simplicity, as sume that the cost to firm i of producing any quantity is zero. Further, assume that each firm's payoff is defined as its profit. That is, firm i's payoff is pqi, where j denotes firm i's opponent in the game.

1) You are considering purchasing a 20 year bond from Saudi Arabia. You have a required return
of 15%. The bond has the following characteristics:
Par Value: $1,000
Maturity: 20 years
Coupon Rate: 12%
What would you offer for this bond today?
Answer:
$812.20
Explanation:
Given the following bond characteristic:
Coupon rate = 12%
Market or yield rate = 15%
Years to maturity = 20 years
Face or par value = $1000
Inputting the values into a bond value calculator, the bond value output is : $812.20
This means that the sum of the present value of all likely coupon payment and par at maturity. It is simply the present value of all cash streams it is projected to generate.
Harding Enterprises has developed a new product called the Gillooly Shillelagh. The market demand for this product is given as follows:
Q= 240 - 4P
a. At what price is the price elasticity of demand equal to zero?
b. At what price is demand infinitely elastic?
c. At what price is the price elasticity of demand equal to one?
d. If the shillelagh is priced at $40, what is the point price elasticity of demand?
Answer:
0
$60
$30
-2
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
the intercept of price on the inverse demand curve = 240 / 4 = $60
The intercept of quantity on the inverse demand curve = 240
Demand is infinitely elastic at the intercept on the price axis = 0
Demand is completely inelastic at the intercept on the quantity axis = 60 Demand is unit elastic at the half-way point between these two extremes (60 + 0) / 2 = 30
Point elastic demanded = (40/80) (-4) = -2
Q2. With the help of book please elaborate What is the difference between a corporate strategy and a competitive strategy? Give three examples of each. (Words limit up to 150)
Answer and Explanation:
Competitive and corporate strategy are very important for the success and good management of a business. Competitive strategy is one that allows a company to promote elements capable of making it different from its competitors. Examples of competitive strategy are offering lower prices, higher quality products and negotiation between customers.
Corporate strategy, on the other hand, is one that allows the company to generate elements that will increase its profit and strengthen its capacity to be more competitive. Examples of this type of strategy are the acquisition of subsidiary companies, the merger of competing companies and the restructuring of the company.
Consider the following independent situations:
1. Mike Finley wishes to become a millionaire. His money market fund has a balance of $289,664 and has a guaranteed interest rate of 10% per year.
How many years must Mike leave that balance in the fund in order to get his desired $1,000,000?
2. Assume that Sally Williams desires to accumulate $1 million in 18 years using her money market fund balance of $250,249.
At what interest rate must Sally's investment compound annually?
Answer:
a. Number of years = 13 years
b. Interest rate = 8%
Explanation:
a. Present value = $289664
Interest rate = 10%
Future value = $1000000
Future Value = Present Value (1 + r)^n
1000000 = 289664 (1 + 10%)^n
(1 + 10%)^n = 1000000 / 289664
(1 + 10%)^n = 3.45227
(1.10)^n = 3.45227
Now solve for the n by taking ln both side.
So, n = 13
Thus, number of years = 13 years
b. Future value = 1000000
Present value = 250249
Time = 18 years
Future Value = Present Value (1 + r)^n
1000000 = 250249 (1 + r)^18
(1 + r)^18 = 1000000 / 250249
(1 + r)^18 = 3.99602
Now solve for the value of r.
Thus, r = 8%
Interest rate = 8%

What type of plan does a property manager implement to manage renters who do NOT pay their rent in a timely way
Answer:
collection plan
Explanation:
The rent collection plan is a system that is used for the enforcement of rent, in terms of late rent payment as well as lease terms. This is more than just telling the tenant when the rent is due. It has all of the information on all the ways that rent could be paid and also the repercussions for late rent payment or a situation whereby the rent is not even paid at all.
Your sister just deposited $5,500 into an investment account. She believes that she will earn an annual return of 8.8 percent for the next 6 years. You believe that you will only be able to earn an annual return of 8 percent over the same period. How much more must you deposit today in order to have the same amount as your sister in 6 years
Answer:
$5749.02
Explanation:
The first step is to determine the future value of my sister's deposit
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
5500 (1.088)^6 = $9122.97
the second step is to determine the present value of $9122.97 using an interest rate of 8%
$9122.97 / (1.08)^6 = $5749.02

A sole proprietorship is a type of business that is owned by a single person and as such their profits are taxed once as personal income tax. It is a type of business that is typically owned by an individual or one person and as such is solely responsible for its debts.
In this scenario, Jane discovers she is bored and frustrated working for other business owners and as a result, she wants to open her own business, wherein, she alone will have control over the business and with the least interference of any form through government regulation. Thus, the form of business which would best meet Jane's needs is a sole proprietorship business because it is offers an exclusive ownership and control to its owner while preventing third-party interference.
You can borrow and lend at the interest rates of 7.00% in the US and 5.00% in Canada. Based on Interest Rate Parity, the forward premium for CAD should be exactly equal to: Group of answer choices 1.90% - 1.87% 1.02% 98.11%
Answer:
1.90%
Explanation:
Note that that CAD exchange rate would be in terms of how many US dollars can be exchanged for 1 CAD, which means that the formula for forward premium would be stated in terms of US dollars, I mean the US$ as the numerator and CAD's interest rate would be the denominator
the forward premium for CAD=((1+US interest rate)/(1+Canada interest rate))-1
the forward premium for CAD=((1+7%)/(1+5%))-1
the forward premium for CAD=1.90%
Rolling Coast Inc. issued BBB bonds two years ago. These bonds provided a yield to maturity (YTM) of 11.5 percent. Long-term risk-free government bonds were yielding 8.7 percent at the time. The current risk premium on BBB bonds versus government bonds is half of what it was two years ago. If the risk-free long-term government bonds are currently yielding 7.8 percent, then at what interest rate should Rolling Coast expect to issue new bonds
Answer: 9.2%
Explanation:
The interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be calculated thus:
Firstly, we will calculate the previous risk premium on BBB bonds which will be:
= 11.5% - 8.7% = 2.8%
Then, the new risk premium on BBB bonds will be:
= Previous risk premium / 2
= 2.8% / 2
= 1.4%
Then, the interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be:
= 7.8% + 1.4%
= 9.2%
Bunkhouse Electronics is a recently incorporated firm that makes electronic entertainment systems. Its earnings and dividends have been growing at a rate of 36.0%, and the current dividend yield is 8.00%. Its beta is 1.32, the market risk premium is 14.00%, and the risk-free rate is 2.80%.
Required:
a. Use the CAPM to estimate the firm’s cost of equity. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. Now use the constant growth model to estimate the cost of equity. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a whole percent.)
c. Which of the two estimates is more reasonable?
Answer:
a. Calculation of the firm's cost of equity using CAPM
Required rate of return (Cost of equity) = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium
Cost of equity = 2.80% + 1.32*14%
Cost of equity = 2.80% + 18.38%
Cost of equity = 21.28%
b) Calculation of the cost of equity using constant growth model:
Cost of equity = Dividend yield + Growth rate(Capital gain yield)
Cost of equity = 8.00% + 36.00%
Cost of equity = 44.00%
Can anyone explain the popularity of the Types of housing in the UK for me?
Explanation:
Save
There are numerous different types of residential properties to be found throughout the United Kingdom. However, not all may be suitable for your unique requirements. Let’s take the guesswork out of the picture by listing all of the most common variants as well as the bespoke aspects of each. You can then make an informed and educated decision at the appropriate time.
It is currently estimated that there are more than 25 million residential properties throughout the United Kingdom. From detached homes and flats to bungalows and cottages, you have a host of amazing options at your disposal. There is still no doubt that finding the most appropriate structure for your needs can be a bit tricky. Let us examine these and other variants in greater detail. What are the advantages of specific properties? What does each have in store? How will price come into play? These important questions deserve a great deal of attention if you hope to obtain the insight and clarity required to make the best choice possible.
Detached Houses
As the name already suggests, detached houses do not share any walls with a separate structure. They also tend to have both front and back gardens. Associated with a greater degree of privacy when compared to other variants, these units are often ideal solutions for those who have children. The median price for a detached house (at the time that this article was written) is £242,286. If you are curious to know the worth of your property, feel free to use our online house valuation tool at your disposal.
Semi-Detached Houses
As the name suggests, the only major difference between a detached house and a semi-detached property is that semi-detached homes share at least one wall with an existing structure that is separately owned. Not only does this save a great deal of space, but these variants are also noticeably cheaper when compared to fully detached houses. This is why the average 2018 value of these structures was £225,674. The only possible concern is that semi-detached houses do not offer the same level of privacy as their detached alternatives.
Terraced Housing
These are actually some of the most well-known and iconic housing types within the United Kingdom. Terraced houses are connected by a single wall on either side; leading to a literal “row” of structures that occupy a street. The main advantage here is that this type of construction saves a great deal of space. This is why they are quite popular within urban districts where land is at a premium. The prices of these properties are also somewhat lower due to the fact that front or back gardens are sometimes absent from their design (although some may contain small front yards). According to government figures compiled in January 2018, the average price for a terraced home is £194,167.
End-of-Terrace Houses
The only main difference between end-of-terrace houses and the terraced counterparts mentioned previously is that these structures are found at the terminal of a row of homes. In other words, only one wall is shared with an adjacent structure. This is why such houses are often found at the end of a road or on a cul-de-sac. This is also the reason why end-of-terrace homes are priced slightly higher. Some studies have found that these structures cost as much as 18 per cent more than normal terraced homes.
Flats
There is no doubt that flats are by far the most well-known types of homes in the UK. Often being offered as a series within a single building, flats are known for their space-saving qualities as well as their convenience. These structures can either be rented on a contractual basis or purchased (the former is quite common). Flats are ideal for single individuals or those with small families due to the fact that they are often much more affordable when compared to detached or semi-detached houses. In fact, the average rental price of a flat (taking into account both urban and rural locations) is approximately £650. Purchase prices will naturally vary and if you would like to get a better idea of what flats have recently sold for in your area, take a look at our sold house price tool.
Converted Flats
The name for these types of residential properties is actually a bit of a misnomer. Converted flats are often houses that have been split into two sections; a top and bottom half. Either of these can be considered a flat while the other portion is normally where the owner resides. Please note that larger structures can be divided into multiple sections (such as individual bedroom-bathroom combinations) which can be rented separately. Depending upon the property in question, converted flats may or may not offer front and back gardens. The price of these locations fluctuates; depending upon issues such as the age of the property, its overall size and the cost of renting a section out to a customer.
The Work in Process Inventory account for DG Manufacturing follows. Compute the cost of jobs completed and transferred to Finished Goods Inventory.
Work in Process Inventory
Beginning WIP 5,200
Direct materials 47,800
Direct labor 30,300
Applied Overhead 16,500
Total Manufacturing Costs 99,800
To Finished Goods ?
Ending WIP 10,300
The cost of units transferred to finished goods is:_________
Answer:
the cost of units transferred to the finished goods is $89,500
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of units transferred to the finished goods is shown below:
Cost of units transferred to finished goods
= Beginning WIP + Direct materials+ Direct labour + Applied overheads-Ending WIP
= $5,200 + $47,800 + $30,300 + $16,500 - $10,300
= $89,500
Hence, the cost of units transferred to the finished goods is $89,500
