started the year with total assets of $30,000 and total owner's equity of $20,000. During the year a) assets increased by $20,000, b) the business recorded $45,000 in revenues, c) the business recorded $30,000 in expenses, and d) the owner withdrew $5,000 for personal use. Liabilities at the end of the year were:
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
The computation of the liabilities at the end of the year is shown below:
As we know that
Total assets = Total liabilities + equity
where,
Total assets are
= Begining balance + increased assets
= $30,000 + $20,000
= $50,000
And, the equity is
= Starting balance + revenues - expenses - withdrawn amount
= $20,000 + $45,000 - $30,000 - $5,000
= $30,000
So, the liabilities is
= $50,000 - $30,000
= $20,000

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the CPI stood at 215.9 in December 2009, while one year earlier it was 210.2. Suppose Janice's nominal income rose by 4% from December 2008 to December 2009 while Jeff's increased by only 2%. By what percentage did each of their real incomes change?
Answer:
Annual rate of inflation = [(215.9 - 210.2) / 210.2] * 100
Annual rate of inflation = 2.7%
Real income change = Nominal income change - inflation rate
Janice Real income change = 4% – 2.7%
Janice Real income change = 1.3%
This means Janice's real income did increase by 1.3%.
Jeff Real income change = 2% – 2.7%
Jeff Real income change = -0.7%
This means Jeff's real income did decrease by 0.7%.
decides to use the needs approach to determine how much life insurance to buy. Her cash needs are $30,000; her income needs are $140,000; and her special needs are $100,000. Ellen has the following assets: $20,000 in bank accounts, $30,000 in retirement accounts, and $40,000 in investment accounts. She does not own any individual life insurance, but she is covered by a $50,000 group life insurance policy through her employer. Judging solely from this information, how much additional life insurance (if any) should Ellen purchase
Answer:
$130,000
Explanation:
For determining the additional life insurance required first we need to follow some steps which are shown below:-
Step 1
Total needs = Cash needs + Income needs + Special needs
= $30,000 + $140,000 + $100,000
= $270,000
Step 2
Total assets held = Bank accounts + Retirement plans + Investment accounts
= $20,000 + $30,000 + $40,000
= $90,000
Step 3
Total amount of life = $270,000 - $90,000
= $180,000
and finally
Additional life insurance required =
The Total amount of life - Life insurance provided by the employer
= $180,000 - $50,000
= $130,000
A firm's diversification strategy is most likely to add value if:________. a. There exist economies of scope between diversified business units. b. The firm has a comprehensive business portfolio in different industries. c. The diversification strategy enables the firm to enter several unrelated businesses. d. It enters unfamiliar market through aggressive acquisitions.
Answer:
Option A. There exist economies of scope between diversified business units
Explanation:
The reason is that diversification is lowering the industry risk of the business the company is in by investing in several other industries. This helps us to lower the risk and have a steady returns in the subsequent years. This means uncertainty related to cash flows is lowered and this has also increased the chances of cash surplus for subsequent years.
Furthermore, if the investments made in diversified business units possesses economies of scope, which means that we are in related diversification because we are manufacturing different but similar goods which are substitutes to each other from large to some extent. This brings economies of scope and would lower the total operating cost of company. Hence the Option A which says that economies of scope does add value to the company is the right option.
Option B is not preferable option as the option of investing in different businesses is choosen in the option A.
Option C is again the same as Option B and the difference is that it uses the word several unrelated businesses instead of comprehensive business portfolio which is the same thing. Hence Option C is also not preferable option here.
Option D is incorrect because when we acquire an organization it is the move of increase in risk portfolio because acquisitions are mostly not a sound investments and not a part of diversification strategy as the company is putting all the eggs in the single basket.
Which of the following best describes the valuation principle? A. The rate at which we can exchange money today for money in the future by borrowing or investing is the current market interest rate and is same across all banks. B. It is not possible to compare costs and benefits that occur at different points in time, in different currencies, or with different risks. C. The value of a commodity or an asset to a firm or its investors is determined by its competitive market price. When the value of the benefits exceeds the value of the costs in terms of market prices, the decision will increase the market value of the firm. D. If equivalent goods or securities trade simultaneously in different markets across the world, they will trade for the same price.
Answer:
C. The value of a commodity or an asset to a firm or its investors is determined by its competitive market price. When the value of the benefits exceeds the value of the costs in terms of market prices, the decision will increase the market value of the firm.
Explanation:
Valuation principle is the process by which fair value of an asset is evaluated. It is determined by comparing its competitive market price against its benefits.
As the benefits of an asset exceeds its cost of purchase it increases in value.
Various methods are used to value an asset based on present value and projected value.
For example an analyst can consider the future purchasing power of a stock and use this as a basis for valuation rating

Studies on a machine that molds plastic water pipe indicate that when it is injecting 1-inch-diameter pipe, the process standard deviation is 0.05 inches. The 1-inch pipe has a specification of 1 inch plus or minus 0.10 inch. What is the process capability index ( Cpk) if the long-run process mean is 1 inch?
Answer:
0.67
Explanation:
Given the following :
Process standard deviation(sd) = 0.05
Mean (m) = 1
specification of 1 inch plus or minus 0.10 inch
Upper specification limit(USL) = 1 + 0.1 = 1.1
Lower specification limit (LSL) = 1 - 0.1 =. 0.9
Cpk = min [[(m - USL) / 3(sd)], [(m - LSL) / 3(sd)]]
Cpk = min [[(1 - 1.1)/3(0.05)], [(1-0.9)/3(0.05)]]
Cpk = min[ -0.1/0.15], [ 0.1 / 0.15]
Cpk = min(-0.67, 0.67)
The accountant for Crusoe Company is preparing the company's statement of cash flows for the fiscal year just ended. The following information is available: Retained earnings balance at the beginning of the year $ 127,500 Cash dividends declared for the year 47,500 Proceeds from the sale of equipment 82,500 Gain on the sale of equipment 7,300 Cash dividends payable at the beginning of the year 19,500 Cash dividends payable at the end of the year 21,800 Net income for the year 93,500 What is the ending balance for retained earnings
Answer:
Explanation:
Retained earning is the amount of net income left for the business owners after paying out dividends to its shareholders , which can be utilized for further expansion as the strategy may require .
To calculate the retained earning for a particular period , the opening retained earning is added to the loss or profit and the dividends payout subtracted
Retained earning = Opening retained earning + net income - dividends paid
127,500+ 93,500 - 47,500
127,500+93,500 -47,500 = 173,500.
The recognition of the need for organizations to improve the state of people, the planet, and profit simultaneously if they are to achieve sustainable, long-term growth (Connect Chapter 4) is referred to as
Answer:
The need for organisations (which may be governmental or non-governmental) to improve the condition of living of people and protect their environment whilst they pursue increased profitability has been termed
The Triple Bottomline.
It is also referred to by economists as the 3P - People, Planet and Profit.
It speaks to the fact that other than the usual making financial success the sole metric of measurement by which organisations are evaluated, their impact on people and the environment should be considered as well.
In simple terms, a firm should be termed more successful than others if it's activities besides being profitable also impacts positively on people and protects if not improves the environment.

Edwards Manufacturing Company purchases two component parts from three different suppliers. The suppliers have limited capacity, and no one supplier can meet all the company’s needs. In addition, the suppliers charge different prices for the components. Component price data (in price per unit) are as follows: Supplier Component 1 2 3 1 $10 $15 $14 2 $13 $12 $10 Each supplier has a limited capacity in terms of the total number of components it can supply. However, as long as Edwards provides sufficient advance orders, each supplier can devote its capacity to component 1, component 2, or any combination of the two components, if the total number of units ordered is within its capacity. Supplier capacities are as follows. Supplier 1 2 3 Capacity 1500 2500 2000 If the Edwards production plan for the next period includes 2,000 units of component 1 and 3,000 units of component 2, what purchases do you recommend
Answer:
Purchase 1,500 units of component 1 from supplier 1.
Purchase 2,000 units of component 2 from supplier 3.
Purchase 500 units of component 1 and 1,000 units of component 2 from supplier 2.
Total costs = $54,500
Explanation:
component 1 component 2
supplier 1 2 3 1 2 3
price $10 $15 $14 $13 $12 $10
capacity:
supplier 1 = 1,500
supplier 2 = 2,500
supplier 3 = 2,000
demand:
component 1 = 2,000component 2 = 3,000There are two ways to solve this, one using excel and the solver function or do it manually.
Manually, we must start with the supplier that has the lowest cost. In this case, the supplier with the lowest cost for component 1 is supplier 1 ($10) and component 2 is supplier 3 ($10).
We will start by purchasing 1,500 units of component 1 from supplier 1 at $15,000. That eliminates supplier 1's capacity, so we now only have suppliers 2 and 3. We still need 500 units of component 1 and 3,000 units of component 2.
We purchase 2,000 units of component 2 from supplier 3 at $20,000. This will consume all of supplier 3's capacity, so we only have supplier 2 left. We are still needing 500 units of component 1 and 1,000 units of component 2.
We will purchase the remaining units from supplier 3 at (500 x $15) + ($1,000 x $12) = $19,500.
Our total expense will be $54,500.
Under the NASAA model custody rule, an investment adviser would be considered to have custody of client assets if that adviser inadvertently receives:
i. a check from a client from a client made out to the IA and does not return the check within 24 hours
ii. a check from a client made out to a third party and Does not forward the check within 3 business days
iii. stock certificates from a client and does not forward them within 3 business days
iv. stock certificates from a client and does noT return them within 3 business days
Answer:
(ii) A check from a client made out to a third party and does not forward the check within 3 business days .
(iv) Stock certificates from a client and does not return them within 3 business days.
Explanation:
As per the NASAA model custody rule, the investment advisor will have the custody of the assets of the client an associated person only if the adviser accidentally receives ' a check has been made by the client to the third party but it is not forwarded within three business days' and when 'the certificates of stocks from the client not returned to them within three business days.' Thus, these indirect documents make the adviser eligible to have custody of client's possessions. Thus, the options ii and iv are the correct answers.
Consider a situation in which a utility company emits high levels of sulfur dioxide and the company is not liable for the damages its pollution causes. According to the Coase theorem, government action is ________ to achieve an ________ amount of pollution
Answer:
not necessary; efficient.
Explanation:
Consider a situation in which a utility company emits high levels of sulfur dioxide and the company is not liable for the damages its pollution causes. According to the Coase theorem, government action is not necessary to achieve an efficient amount of pollution. Coase theorem was developed in 1960 by a British economist and author named Ronald Coase.
Coase theorem states that when the actions of a party (X) negatively affects or harm another party (Y), then party Y should be able to create an incentive for party X to stop or limit the action creating such harm.
Hence, when transaction cost are low, the two parties are able to bargain and reach a mutual agreement in the presence of an externality such as a pollution.
All the following statements concerning universal life insurance are correct EXCEPT: Group of answer choices Interest credited to the cash value is taxable to a policyowner in the year credited. The policyowner can add to a policy's cash value at any time subject to policy guidelines. Interest is credited to the policy's cash value each month. Withdrawals from a policy's cash value reduce the death benefit.
Answer:
Withdrawals from a policy's cash value reduce the death benefit.
Explanation:
Universal life insurance is a permanent life insurance plan that has flexible premium payments and premiums are also low.
Only a determined death benefit is paid to the policy holder's beneficiary.
As premium is paid to the account, it earns interest. The excess amount above the death benefit is called the cash value.
Policy holder is allowed to withdraw the cash value and the withdrawal is subject to taxation.
However these withdrawals do not affect the death benefit which is fixed. Policy holder cannot withdraw into the death benefit amount.
When the policy holder does the insurance company keeps the cash value (excess over dear benefit amount). While the beneficiary gets only the agreed death benefit.
So the statement - Withdrawals from a policy's cash value reduce the death benefit.
Is untrue.
The free rider problem is a situation in which A. one agent secures benefits that others pay for B. all of the above. C. none of the above. D. there are excessive subsidies given to polluting buses or other forms of mass transit E. Effluents such as CFCs combine with ozone and decrease concentrations of that protective chemical F. perfect property rights exits
Answer:
b). one agent secures benefits that others pay for.
Explanation:
The free-rider problem is described as the problem when some individuals consume or take the benefit of a resource without paying for it. in this problem, one agent is being benefitted from the resources that the others are paying for. This creates a load on a shared resource and eventually causes market failure. In order to cope with this problem, the organizations must ensure a fair distribution of resources and their benefits as per the payment made by the agents. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Complete Question:
A deficit on the current account:
Group of answer choices
a. normally causes a surplus on the capital and financial account.
b. normally causes a deficit on the capital and financial account.
c. has no relationship to the capital and financial account.
d. means that a nation is making international transfers.
Answer:
a. normally causes a surplus on the capital and financial account.
Explanation:
A deficit can be defined as an amount by which money, falls short of its expected or required value.
Generally, deficit in financial accounting is usually as a result of expense exceeding revenue or revenue falling below expenses at a specific period of time.
For instance, when liabilities exceeds assets or import exceeds export there would be a deficit in the financial account.
A deficit on the current account normally causes a surplus on the capital and financial account. This is simply as a result of a country having to import more goods and services than it is exporting to other countries in trade.
Simply stated, a deficit on the current account ultimately implies that the value of goods and services exported is lower than the value of goods and services being imported in a particular country.
