Answer:

(a) 0.2896 (b) 0.5029 (c)0.5758 (d)In this case they are dependent  because the gender is segregated as social media user or not as asocial media worker. the probability and variable is tied to it

Explanation:

Solution

(a)In a survey of 1,364 people, 395 were females who used social media and 232 did not. of males 232 use social media and 355 did not

To make or develop a probability table, take each group and divide their number by their total for example female that use social media is 395 of a total of 1364

395/1364 =0.2896

The probability that a woman uses social media in the survey is 0.2896

so,

                                  A              B              T

Female                  0.2896       0.2133      0.5029

Male                      0.2368       0.2603     0.4971

Total                      0.5264      0.4736       1.00

(b) To find the probability  of a surveyed person being a female, we divivde the total number of females by the whole number, shown below

686/1364 = 0.5029

(c)Conditional probability is defined using the formula which is shown below:

P(A/B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)-------(1)

Where P(A∩B) is the probability of females that use social media 0.2896 and P(B) is the total female probability which is 0.5029

Now we substitute the values in the equation 1 and calculate the probability as shown below:

P(A/B) = 0.2896/0.5029 =0.5758

the conditional probability that are surveyed person is female and uses social media is 0.5758

(d) In this case they are dependent  because the gender is segregated as social media user or not as asocial media worker. the probability and variable is tied to it

Financial Crisis

Suppose that banks are less able to raise funds and so lend less. Consequently, because people and households are less able to borrow, they spend less at any given price level than they would otherwise. The crisis is persistent so lending should remain depressed for some time. Refer to Financial Crisis. In the long run, if the Fed does not respond, the change in price expectations created by the crisis shifts:

a. short-run aggregate supply right.

b. aggregate demand right.

c. aggregate demand left.

d. short-run aggregate supply left.

Answer:

The correct answer to the given question is “D – Short-Run Aggregate Supply Left”

Explanation:

While the problem is there for offering and deriving, less asset is being completed on the budget. Thus due to the lack of capital. The investment standard growing will decrease and therefore as an outcome, short run cumulative source curve will move to the left.

The Baldwin Company currently has the following balances on their balance sheet: Total Assets $255,213 Total Liabilities $151,328 Retained Earnings $47,588 Suppose next year the Baldwin Company generates $44,200 in net profit, pays $12,000 in dividends, total assets increase by $55,000, and total liabilities remain unchanged. What will ending Baldwins balance in Common Stock be next year? Select: 1 $79,097 $509,129 $381,753 $143,497

Answers

Answer:

$79,097

Explanation:

The accounting equation shows the relationship between the elements of a balance sheet which are assets liabilities and equity. This may be expressed mathematically as

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

While assets include fixed assets, cash, inventories, account receivables etc, liabilities include accounts payable, loans payable, accrued expenses etc.

Equity which represents the amount owed to the owners of the business includes retained earnings (which is the accumulation of the net income/loss over the years less dividends paid) and common shares.

Hence in current year,

Total equity = $255,213 - $151,328

= $103,885

If retained earnings is $47,588 then common stock

= $103,885  - $47,588

= $56,297

Change to equity next year

= $55,000

Change to retained earnings

= $44,200 - $12,000

= $32,200

Hence change in common stock

= $55,000 - $32,200

= $22,800

Common stock balance

= $56,297  + $22,800

= $79,097

Computation of the discount on notes payable:

Maturity value $560,000

Present value of $560,000 due in 8 years at 11% = $560,000 * 0.43393 = $ 243,000

Present value of $39,200 payable annually for 8 years at 11% annually—$39,200 * 5.14612 = $ 201,728

Present value of the note = $ 243,000 + $ 201,728 = $ 444,728

A. $1,450,352 B. $1,042,500 C. € 1,024,500 D. $1,525,400

Answers

Answer:

$1,042,500.

Explanation:

From the question above, we are given the following parameters; under the bid, we have $1.42 = €1.00 and $1.48 = €1.00; the borrowing and lending are $ 4.25% and 4% APR respectively for S0($/€).

Also, for F360($/€), the bid and ask values are: $1.48 = €1.00 and $1.50 = €1.00 respectively; the borrowing and lending values are 3.10% APR and 3% APR.

Therefore, the Borrowing rate is ($) 4.25% in $ . Thus, $1,000,000 for one year, one we owe

$1,000,000 × (1 + 0.0425) = $1,042,500 at maturity.

Fixed expenses are $384,000 per month. The company is currently selling 6,000 units per month. The marketing manager would like to introduce sales commissions as an incentive for the sales staff. The marketing manager has proposed a commission of $9 per unit. In exchange, the sales staff would accept a decrease in their salaries of $46,000 per month. (This is the company's savings for the entire sales staff.) The marketing manager predicts that introducing this sales incentive would increase monthly sales by 500 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?

Answers

Answer:

A reduction of $12,500 in net operating income

Explanation:

The net operating income/loss is the difference between the sales and the total costs.

The change in the company's net operating income is the net of the increased commission and the total decrease in salaries. The commission is a variable cost that is dependent on the total number of units sold.

Hence the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change

= $46,000 - ($9 * 6500)

= ($12,500)

Cr premium on bonds payable  $122,577.26  

Cr bonds payable                        $1,910,000

Explanation:

First and foremost the proceeds received from the bond issuance needs to determine the pv formula in excel as follows:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the yield  to maturity of 9%

nper is the number of annual coupons payable by the bond which is 10

pmt is the amount of annual coupon i.e  $1,910,000*10%=$191000

fv is the face value of the bond which is  $1,910,000

=-pv(9%,10,191000,1910000)=$2,032,577.26  

premium on bonds issuance= 2,032,577.26-1,910,000.00= $122,577.26  

Exercise 24-5 Payback period computation; even cash flows LO P1 Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $520,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $150,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000. A machine costs $380,000, has a $20,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $60,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is shown below:

1. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow      

where,

Initial investment is $520,000

Net cash flow is =  incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense

= $150,000 + $85,000

= $235,000

The depreciation expense is

= ($520,000 - $10,000) ÷ (6 years)

= $85,000

Now the payback period is

= $520,000 ÷ $235,000

= 2.21 years

2. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow      

where,

Initial investment is $380,000

Net cash flow is =  incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense

= $60,000 + $45,000

= $105,000

The depreciation expense is

= ($380,000 - $20,000) ÷ (8 years)

= $45,000

Now the payback period is

= $380,000 ÷ $105,000

= 3.62 years

Depreciation by Two Methods A storage tank acquired at the beginning of the fiscal year at a cost of $80,000 has an estimated residual value of $4,000 and an estimated useful life of 20 years. a. Determine the amount of annual depreciation by the straight-line method. $ b. Determine the amount of depreciation for the first and second years computed by the double-declining-balance method. Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

a. Annual depreciation = $3,800

b. First year depreciation is $8,000' while second year depreciation is $7,200.

Explanation:

a. Determine the amount of annual depreciation by the straight-line method.

Depreciable amount = $80,000 - $4,000 = $76,000

Annual depreciation = $76,000 / 20 = $3,800

b. Determine the amount of depreciation for the first and second years computed by the double-declining-balance method. Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / 20 = 0.05, or 5%

Double declining depreciation rate = 5% * 2 = 10%

First year depreciation = $80,000 * 10% = $8,000

Second year depreciation = ($80,000 - $8,000) * 10% = $7,200

(1) Warranty Expense -
(2) Estimated Liability from Warranties -
(3) Premium Expense -
(4) Inventory of Premium CD Players -
(5) Estimated Premium Claims Outstanding -

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

Given:

Warranty exp = 2% of musical instrument & sound equipment

Calculation:

Warranty exp = Warranty exp * 5,424,000

Warranty exp = 2% * 5,424,000

Warranty exp = 108,480

(b)

Warranty liability as on December 2017 = Opening Balance + Warranty Expense - Warranty Claim

Warranty liability as on December 2017 = 138,000 + 108,480 - 156,400

Warranty liability as on December 2017 = $90,080

(c)

The customer receives one coupon for each dollar spend 2,138,000 only 50% coupon will be redeemed.

Exp provision liability created = 50% * 2,138,000

Exp provision liability created = 1,069,000

Customer can exchange 200 coupon & $30 for MP3 player which is purchase for 42 that mean 200 coupon will be for 12 i.e. (42-30) value of coupon will be

What is the materials quantity variance for the month?

Answers

Answer:

Direct material quantity variance= $20,628.3

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard quantity per unit of output 5.3 pounds

Standard price $14.10 per pound

Actual materials used in production 5,650 pounds

Actual output 790 units

To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula.

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

Direct material quantity variance= (5.3*790 - 5,650)*14.1

Direct material quantity variance= $20,628.3

(Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Record journal entries in the order presented in the problem.) (a) The issuance of the bonds. (b) The payment of interest on July 1. (c) The accrual of interest on December 31.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

On Jan 1

Cash $400,000

           To Bonds payable  $400,000

(Being the bond is issued for cash)

For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and at the same time it increased the liabilities so the bond payable is credited

On July 1

Interest expense  $14,000

             To Cash  $14,000

(Being the payment of interest is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= $400,000 × 7% × 6 months ÷ 12 months

= $14,000

For recording this we debited the expenses as it increased the expenses and at the same time it decreased the assets so the cash is credited

On Dec 31

Interest expense $14,000

           To Interest payable $14,000

(Being the accrual of interest is recorded)

For recording this we debited the expenses as it increased the expenses and at the same time it increased the liabilities so the interest payable is credited

Sheffield Corp. issued $7080000 of 11%, ten-year convertible bonds on July 1, 2020 at 96.1 plus accrued interest. The bonds were dated April 1, 2020 with interest payable April 1 and October 1. Bond discount is amortized semiannually on a straight-line basis. On April 1, 2021, $1416000 of these bonds were converted into 600 shares of $20 par value common stock. Accrued interest was paid in cash at the time of conversion. If "interest payable" were credited when the bonds were issued, what should be the amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020

Answers

Answer:

The amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020 is $194,700

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Bond face value=$7,080,000

interest rate=11%

There are 3 months interest recognized from july to september, therefore, to calculate the amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020 we would have to make the following calculation:

amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020=$7,080,000*11%*3 months / 12 months

amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020=$194,700

The amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020 is $194,700

The management of Unter Corporation, an architectural design firm, is considering an investment with the following cash flows: Year Investment Cash Inflow 1 $ 59,000 $ 5,000 2 $ 9,000 $ 10,000 3 $ 20,000 4 $ 21,000 5 $ 24,000 6 $ 22,000 7 $ 20,000 8 $ 18,000 9 $ 17,000 10 $ 17,000 Required: 1. Determine the payback period of the investment. 2. Would the payback period be affected if the cash inflow in the last year were several times as large

Answers

Answer:

4.5 years

No

Explanation:

The Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amounts invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

Total investments = $-59,000 - $9,000 = $-68,000

In the first year: $-68,000 + $5,000 = $-63,000 is recovered

In the 2nd year: $-63,000 + $ 10,000 = $-53,000 is recovered

In the 3rd year: $-53,000 +  $ 20,000 = $-33,000 is recovered

In the 4th year $-33,000 + 21,000 = $-12,000

In the 5th year $-12000 + $24,000 = $12,000

The amount invested is recovered between the 4th and 5th year

4 years + $-12000 / $24,000 = 4.5years

The Payback period  would not be affected if the cash inflow in the last year were several times as large because the cash flow would have been recovered by the 5tj year.

Calculate the breakeven point in units for beds and mattresses. (40 points)

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit= $48

Unitary variable cost= $6

Total fixed costs= $16,000

A)

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 16,000/ (48 - 6)

Break-even point in units= 381 units

B) Selling price= $49.95 a bedpoints

Break-even point in units= 16,000/ (49.95 - 6)

Break-even point in units= 364 units

C) Unitary variable cost= 6 - 3= 3

Break-even point in units= 16,000 / (48 - 3)

Break-even point in units= 356 units

D) Matresses= 1

Beds= 1

Proportions of sales:

Matreses= 0.5

Beds= 0.5

Selling price per matress= $9

Unitary variable cost= $5

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (0.5*9 + 0.5*48) - (0.5*5 + 0.5*6)

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= $23

Break-even point (units)= 16,000/23

Break-even point (units)= 696 units

When China reformed state-owned enterprises, it tried a new approach to choosing managers: it put managerial jobs up for auction. The bids for the jobs consisted of promises of future profit streams that the managers would generate and then deliver to the state. In cases where the incumbent manager was the winning bidder, firm productivity tended to increase dramatically. When outside bidders won, there was little productivity improvement. If incumbent managers were not generally more qualified, how can you explain this result?

Answers

Answer: The explanation is provided below

Explanation:

An outsider tend to overbid with a eye to get the job while, an insider manager bids a realistic performance that is achievable. An insider manager understands the factors which affect the organization's performance and then tries to take control of the factors.

People make or break organizations and there is a greater chance of the insider getting the support and cooperation of the employees in comparision to outside bidders. Also, an insider manager has a prospective that is long term with regard to his or her association with the enterprise while an outsider may come and then realize that he doesn't like the organization and then leave for a better enterprise.

Therefore internal managers are a better prospect of being given the responsibility to manage the enterprise.

Answer:

Explanation:

A stranger tends to bid excessively  to get the job. In contrast, the internal manager offers realistic, achievable performance. The internal manager understands the factors that influence the organization's performance and tries to take control of it. There is a greater chance that an insider will get employee support and cooperation than strangers . Insider manager has been in the organisation for and already know the rules that guide the company, The Dos ans Donts.. A stranger have lilttle or no knowledge about how the company is run and  can choose to stay or  he will go to a better company. Therefore, internal managers are in good position for   taking responsibility for running the welfare and activites of a company.

The Donut Stop acquired equipment for $10,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation and estimates a residual value of $2,000 and a four-year service life. At the end of the second year, the company estimates that the equipment will be useful for four additional years, for a total service life of six years rather than the original four. At the same time, the company also changed the estimated residual value to $1,000 from the original estimate of $2,000. Calculate how much The Donut Stop should record each year for depreciation in years 3 to 6.

Answers

Answer:

Cost of Equipment: $10,000

Less Accumulated Depreciation ($10,000 - $2,000 / 4*2):   $4,000

= Book Value (End of Year 2):     $6,000

Less New Residual Value:       $-1,000

= New Depreciated Cost: $5,000

Remaining Service Life:  4

Annual Depreciation in Years 3 to 6 ($5,000 / 4):  $1,250

Consider a portfolio manager with a $20,500,000 equity portfolio under management. The manager wishes to hedge against a decline in share values using stock index futures. Currently a stock index future is priced at 1250 and has a multiplier of 250. The portfolio beta is 1.25. Calculate the number of contracts required to hedge the risk exposure and indicate whether the manager should be short or long.

Answers

Answer:

Assume that a month later the equity portfolio has a market value of $20,000,000 and the stock index future is priced at 1150 with a multiplier of 250. Calculate the profit on the equity position.

Calculate the overall profit.

$1,550,000

Explanation:

Assume that a month later the equity portfolio has a market value of $20,000,000 and the stock index future is priced at 1150 with a multiplier of 250. Calculate the profit on the equity position.

Calculate the overall profit.

The manager should be short on the stock index futures because the position on the equity portfolio is long.

Number of contracts required to hedge

= [$20,500,000/(1250*250)] * 1.25 = 82 contracts

Profit on the equity portfolio

= $20,000,000 - $20,500,000 = -$500,000

Profit on the stock index future

= [(1250)(250) – (1150)(250)] x 82 = $2,050,000

Overall profit

=  $2,050,000 - $500,000

= $1,550,000

therefore, the overall profit is  $1,550,000

For the cost and price functions below, find



a. the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit



b. the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit



c. the maximum profit, P.



C(q) = 70 + 17q



p = 77 - 2q

Answers

Answer:

a) The number, q, of units that produces maximum profit = 15

b) The price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit = 47 (currency not giben in the question)

c) Maximum Profit = P = 380 (currency not given in the question).

Explanation:

The cost function and price per unit function are given respectively as

C(q) = 70 + 17q

p = 77 - 2q

where q = quantity or number of units

a.) the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit

Total cost = C(q) = 70 + 17q

Revenue = (price per unit) × (Number of units) = p × q = (77 - 2q) × q = (77q - 2q²)

Profits = P(q) = (Revenue) - (Total Cost)

P(q) = (77q - 2q²) - (70 + 17q)

P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

To maximize the profits, we just obtain the point where the profit function reaches a Maximum.

At the maximum of a function, (dP/dq) = 0 and (d²P/dq²) < 0

Profit = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

(dP/dq) = -4q + 60

At maximum point,

(dP/dq) = -4q + 60 = 0

q = (60/4) = 15

(d²P/dQ²) = -4 < 0 (hence, showing that the this point corresponds to a maximum point truly)

Hence, the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit = 15.

b.) the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit

The price per unit is given as

p = 77 - 2q

Maximum profit occurs at q = 15

p = 77 - (2×15) = 47

Hence, the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit = 47 (currency not given in the question)

c.) the maximum profit, P.

The Profit function is given as

Profit = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

At maximum Profit, q = 15

Maximum Profit = P(15)

= -2(15²) + 60(15) - 70

= 380 (currency not given in the question).

Hope this Helps!!!

A) The number, q, of units that produce maximum profit is = 15

B) The price, p, per unit that creates maximum profit is = 47

C) Maximum Profit is = P = 380

What is the cost and price function?

When The cost procedure and price per unit procedure are presented respectively as:

C(q) is = 70 + 17q

p is = 77 - 2q

where that q is = quantity or number of units

a.) When the number, q, of units that produce maximum profit

The Total cost is = C(q) = 70 + 17q

When the Revenue is = (price per unit) × (Number of units) that is = p × q = (77 - 2q) × q is = (77q - 2q²)

After that Profits is = P(q) = (Revenue) - (Total Cost)

Then P(q) is = (77q - 2q²) - (70 + 17q)

Now, P(q) is = -2q² + 60q - 70

When To maximize the profits, Then we just obtain the point where the profit function reaches a Maximum.

When At the maximum of a function, (dP/dq) is = 0 and (d²P/dq²) < 0

Profit is = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

(dP/dq) is = -4q + 60

Then At maximum point are:

(dP/dq) is = -4q + 60 = 0

After that, q = (60/4) = 15

Then (d²P/dQ²) = -4 < 0 (hence, showing that this point corresponds to a maximum point truly)

Therefore, the number, q, of units that produce maximum profit is = 15.

b.) When the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit

The price per unit is given as

p is = 77 - 2q

Then Maximum profit occurs at q is = 15

p is = 77 - (2×15) = 47

Therefore, the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit is = 47 (currency not provided in the question)

c.) When the maximum profit, P.

The Profit function is given as

Profit is = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70

Then At maximum Profit, q = 15

So, The Maximum Profit is = P(15)

Then = -2(15²) + 60(15) - 70

Therefore, = 380 (currency not given in the question).

Offenbach & Son has just made its sales forecasts and its marketing department estimates that the company will sell 232,200 units during the coming year. In the past, management has maintained inventories of finished goods at approximately one month’s sales. The inventory at the start of the budget period is 15,600 units. Sales occur evenly throughout the year. Required: Estimate the production level required for the coming year to meet these objectives.

Answers

Answer:

Production= 235,950 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= 232,200 units during the coming year.

Desired ending inventory= one month's sales

Beginning inventory= 15,600 units.

First, we need to calculate the desired ending inventory:

Desired ending inventory= 232,200/12= 19,350

Now, we can determine the production for the year:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 232,200 + 19,350 - 15,600

Production= 235,950 units
