Answer:
C. $3,600
Explanation:
The value of gross domestic product after adjusting the inflation effect in the valuation of the product.
Calculate the real GDP as follow
Real GDP of 2016 = ( $2 x 200 ) + ( $3 x 400 ) + ( $4 x 500 )
Real GDP of 2016 = 400 + 1200 + 2000
Real GDP of 2016 = $3600
Hence, real gross domestic product (GDP) in 2016 is $3,600
A firm has taxes of $2,000, interest expense of $1,000, EBIT of $7,500, common stock dividends of $1,500, and preferred dividends of $1,200. What is the profit margin if sales are $22,000
Answer:
the profit margin is 15%
Explanation:
The computation of the profit margin is shown below:
= (EBIT - interest - taxes - preferred dividend) ÷ Sales
= ($7,500 - $1,000 - $2,000 - $1,200) ÷ $22,000
= $3,300 ÷ $22,000
= 15%
Hence, the profit margin is 15%
Basically the above formula should be applied for the same

However, similar to bonds, preferred stockholders receive a fixed payment—their dividend—before the company’s residual earnings are paid out to its common stockholders and, as with common stock, preferred stockholders can benefit from an appreciation in the value of the firm’s stock securities. Consider the following case of Wellington Industries: Wellington Industries pays an annual dividend rate of 8.00% on its preferred stock that currently returns 10.72% and has a par value of $100.00 per share. What is the value of Wellington’s preferred stock?
Answer: $74.63
Explanation:
Preferred shares are treated like perpetuities which means that the value is:
= Annual dividend/required return
Annual dividend:
= Dividend rate * Par value
= 8% * 100
= $8.00
Value of share = 8 / 10.72%
= $74.6269
= $74.63

On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $15000 was purchased for $115000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Annual depreciation (year 2)= $20,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $115,000
Salvage value= $15,000
Useful life= 5 years
To calculate the annual depreciation under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (115,000 - 15,000) / 5
Annual depreciation= $20,000
1. Inventory that consists of the costs of the direct and indirect materials that have not yet entered the manufacturing process is known as ________. work in process inventory materials inventory finished goods inventory None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
materials inventory
Explanation:
An inventory is a term used to describe a list of finished goods, goods still in the production line and raw materials that would be used for the manufacturing of more goods in a bid to meet the unending consumer demands.
Basically, an inventory can be classified into three (3) main categories and these are; finished goods, work in progress, and raw materials.
An inventory is recorded as a current asset on the balance sheet because it's primarily the most important source of revenue for a business entity.
Generally, the three (3) main cost concept associated with an inventory include;
1. First In First Out (FIFO).
2. Last In First Out (LIFO).
3. Weighted average cost.
In Financial accounting, direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.
On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.
Materials inventory can be defined as an inventory that comprises of direct and indirect materials costs which have not been used in a manufacturing process.

The risk-free rate is 3%. The beta is 1.4, the alpha is 0.6 and the average return is 12%. What is the market return? How is it calculated?
Answer:
9.00%
Explanation:
In a bid to determine the market return, we make use of the formula for average return provided below whereby the formula is rearranged in order to market return the subject of the formula as shown thus:
Average return = Alpha + rf + β * (rm - rf)
Average return=12%
Alpha=0.6%
rf=risk-free rate=3%
β=Beta=1.4
rm=market return=the unknown
12%=0.6%+3%+1.4*(rm-3%)
12%=0.6%+3%+1.4rm-4.20%
12%=3.6%+1.4rm-4.20%
12%-3.6%+4.20%=1.4rm
12.60%=1.4rm
rm=12.60%/1.4
rm=9.00%

g dividends paid 13500. what was the net income for the past year of the firm faces a tax rate of 30%
Answer:
A.) £27,214.29
B.) £19,250
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Andy £13500
Bevan £27500
Cheryl £13250
Deva £75000
Elliott £18750
Frankie £27500
Grace £15000
Mean income = (total sum of salaries / number of workers)
Mean income = £(13500 + 27500 + 13250 + 75000 + 18750 + 27500 + 15000) / 7
Mean income = (£190,500 / 7) = £27,214.286

9. Suppose Betty saves $200 each month in her 401(k) account. How much less will her monthly take-home pay be than if she saved nothing? (Assume a combined 20% state and federal income tax rate.)
Answer:
$160
Explanation:
The way 401(k) savings work is that employees can save from their earnings before tax is deducted, which means that on the $200 saved no tax is deducted, hence, the take of the employee reduces by $200
When there are savings, a tax of 20% would have been deducted from the $200, as a result, the employee would be left with $160($200-($200*20%)), which means that take-home would reduce by $40, the amount tax deducted.
The reduction in take-home=$200-$40
The reduction in take-home=$160
Project 1 requires an original investment of $125,000. The project will yield cash flows of $50,000 per year for 10 years. Project 2 has a computed net present value of $135,000 over an eight-year life. Project 1 could be sold at the end of eight years for a price of $8,000. (a) Using the present value tables in Exhibits 2 and 5, determine the net present value of Project 1 over an eight-year life, with residual value, assuming
Answer: $126,613
Explanation:
Net Present value of Project A is:
= Present value of $50,000 annuity + Present value of residual value - Initial investment
Present value of $50,000 annuity:
= 50,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate)^-number of periods) / rate
= 50,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 12%) ⁻⁸) / 12%
= $248,382
Present value of residual value:
= 8,000 / ( 1 + 12%)⁸
= $3,231
Net present value
= 248,382 + 3,231 - 125,000
= $126,613
Viviano Corporation issued a new bond, and hired your bank as its underwriter. In an upcoming talk with its CFO, you are expected to explain the effect of market interest rate. An increase in the market rate of interest will have which one of the following effects on this bond?
a. increase the coupon rate
b. decrease the coupon rate
c. increase the market price
d. decrease the market price
e. increase the time period
Answer: d. decrease the market price
Explanation:
Interest rates and the prices of bonds are negatively correlated as one increasing means that the other is decreasing.
The reason is this: when market interest rates rise, investors will move away from bonds to other investments because bonds offer a fixed payment and so will be less attractive than other investments which would be offering higher returns based on the higher market rates.
The drop in demand for bonds will lead to their prices falling as per the rules of demand and supply.

Rick has met with the Small Business Administration, which analyzed his entrepreneurial skills and provided him with a summary of the results. Out of these findings of the SBA, what might challenge Rick in his quest to become a successful entrepreneur? a) Rick is conscientious and emotionally stable. b) Rick has some tolerance for ambiguity because he knows he is trying to do things that haven't been done before. c) Rick has an external locus of control. d) Rick is comfortable with a moderate level of risk, and he has the confidence to act decisively. e) Rick has a high nec Rick has a high need for autonomy and wants to shape his own destiny
Answer:
c) Rick has an external locus of control.
Explanation:
What can challenge Rick in his quest to become a successful entrepreneur is that he has an external locus of control, which occurs when an individual relates events related to their failures or successes to external variables that are not their responsibility, such as fate, luck or bad luck.
The external locus of control can pose a challenge for Rick in the sense that an entrepreneur's success is related to his own personal control and personal efforts to make the business viable and successful in the market. It is necessary for the entrepreneur to understand that there are risks inherent to the business and that a business can work according to their efforts, learning and planning, that is, the entrepreneur and their control and management actions will be responsible for the success or failure of the business, and not just external factors like fate or bad luck.

MC Qu. 157 West Company estimates that overhead costs... West Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,600,000 for indirect labor and $880,000 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. Of 125,000 machine hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate
