4 6,500 247,000
What is the payback period for each project?
Answer:
Project A 2.22 years
Project B 3.05 years
Explanation:
Calculation for the payback period for each project
Project A
First step is to calculate for the amount received in 2 years
Amount received=$18,500+24,800
Amount received =$43,300
Second step is to calculate for the amount not received
Amount not received =$48,000-$43,300
Amount not received =$4,700
Third step is to find out when the remaining amount will be received.
=$4,700/$20,500
=$0.22 years
Last step
Payback period=2+0.22 years
Payback period =2.22 years
The payback period for project A will be 2.22 years
Project B
First step is to calculate for the amount received in 3 years
Amount received=$20,500+$25,500+$33,500
Amount received =$79,500
Second step is to calculate for the amount not received
Amount not received =$93,000-$79,500
Amount not received =$13,500
Third step is to find out when the remaining amount will be received.
=$13,500/$247,000
=$0.05 years
Last step
Payback period=3+0.05 years
Payback period =3.05years
The payback period for project B will be 3.05 years

An officer of a company has acquired shares of that issuer in the open market. If the officer wishes to sell the shares:
Answer: C. II and III
Explanation:
As the shares were acquired by the officer on the open market, they are considered Control Stock. Sale of Control Stock falls under the purview of Rule 144 of the SEC that governs the sale of restricted, unregistered, and control securities so a Form 144 will need to be filed with the Sec making III correct.
Furthermore, control stock are not subject to a holding period requirement so option II is correct as well. Option C is therefore the best answer.
Potential GDP of an economy is $12 billion. Real (Actual) GDP is $20 Billion. Marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. What level of Government spending is required to achieve Full employment
Answer:
Government spending required = $2 billion
Explanation:
The required amount of GDP to achieve the full employment GDP =
Potential GDP - Actual
that is 20 - 12 = $8 billion.
But note that a government spending of less than $8 billion would be required to achieve an increase of 8 billion in real GDP. This is so because of expenditure multiplier effect.
The expenditure multiplier is the amount by which the aggregate output would increase with an increase in any of the expenditure components.
It is calculated as follows;
Multiplier = 1/(1-MPC)
For this question ,
Expenditure multiplier = 1/(1-0.75) = 4
This implies that $1 change in any of the aggregate expenditure would lead a $4 worth of change in GDP.
Government spending required is determined as
Desired change in real GDP/expenditure multiplier
= $8 billion/4 = $2 billion
Government spending required = $2 billion

NewTech purchases computer equipment for $154,000 to use in operating activities for the next four years. It estimates the equipment’s salvage value at $25,000.Required:Prepare a table showing depreciation and book value for each of the four years assuming double-declining-balance depreciation.
Answer:
Accumulated depreciation = $129,000
Net book value after years = Salvage value = $25,000
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the table showing depreciation and book value for each of the four years assuming double-declining-balance depreciation.
Double-declining-balance is a depreciation method in which an asset is depreciated at twice the rate of the straight line depreciation method.
For this question, the depreciation rate can be obtained as follows:
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of years of operating activities = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%
This can be done as follows:
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = 25% * 2 = 50%
The 50% double-declining depreciation rate is therefore used in the attached excel file table.
Note that there the depreciation expenses in Year 4 is zero because the asset has already been fully depreciated in year 3 since there is a salvage value of $25,000 that must be maintained at the end of Year 4.

You take out a car loan for 13,381 dollars. If your loan has an annual interest rate of 8.86 percent, and you will make monthly payments for 5 years, how much of your first payment will go towards principal (go towards paying down the outstanding loan balance)?
Answer:
Principal paid in the first payment =$2,656.52
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
We will use the following relationships:
Interest paid = Interest rate × loan balance
Principal paid = Monthly installment - Interest paid
Monthly installment = Loan amount/Annuity factor
Annuity factor = (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r - annual interest rate
n- number of period = 12× 5 = 60
Monthly interest rate - 8.86/12 =0.738 %
Loan amount = 13,381
Annuity factor = (1 - (1.00738)^(-60) )/ 0.00738=48.336
Monthly interest payment = Loan amount/Annuity factor
13,381/48.336=2,755.32
Interest due in the first month = interest rate × loan amount
= 0.738 %× 13,381 =98.796
Principal aid in the first year = Monthly installment - interest due 1st month
= 2,755.32 - 98.796 = 2,656.52
Principal paid in the first payment =$2,656.52

What is your standard deviation of demand during lead time if your average lead time = 5 days, standard deviation of demand = 4, average demand is 12, and standard deviation of lead time is 1.2 days.
Answer:
4.47
Explanation:
The computation of the standard deviation of lead time is shown below:
= √lead time × standard deviation of demand
= √ 5 days × 4
= √20
= 4.47
We simply applied the above formula to determine the standard deviation of demand during lead time
Hence, all the other items would be ignored
E Corporation produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 44,000 units per month is as follows:
Per Unit
Direct materials $44.60
Direct labor $8.50
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.50
Fixed manufacturing overhead $18.10
Variable selling & administrative expense $2.60
Fixed selling & administrative expense $12.00
The normal selling price of the product is $94.10 per unit. An order has been received from an overseas customer for 2,400 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $1.60 less per unit on this order than on normal sales.
Suppose there is ample idle capacity to produce the units required by the overseas customer and the special discounted price on the special order is $80.40 per unit. The monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:_______
Answer:
financial advantage for accepting special order = $59,520
Explanation:
relevant production costs for special order (2,400 units):
direct materials $44.60
direct labor $8.50
variable manufacturing overhead $1.50
variable selling & administrative expense $1
total costs per unit = $55.60
total revenue from special order = 2,400 x $80.40 = $192,960
relevant costs associated to special order = 2,400 x $55.60 = ($133,440)
financial advantage for accepting special order = $59,520
Use your own language to explain that short run supply curve by a price-taking firm is the positively-sloped portion of the short-run marginal cost curve.
Answer:
See the answer and explanation below
Explanation:
A price-taking firm is a firm in a perfectly competitive market where all firms are price takers. That is, no firm in a perfectly competitive can influence the price as only the market determines the price.
The short run supply curve for a price-taking firm refers to the short marginal cost (SMC) curve at and above the shutdown point.
Note: See the attached graph for the shut run supply curve. Also note that point E in the attached graph is the shutdown point.
The shutdown point is the point where the short run marginal cost (SMC) is equal to the average variable cost (AVC) (i.e. where MC = AVC = Shutdown point).
This indicates that the short-run supply curve for a price-taking firm is the part of the SMC curve that lies above AVC curve.
The part of the SMC curve that lies below the AVC or the shutdown point is not part of the short run supply curve of a price-taking firm, because the firm is not engaging in any production at that point.
Therefore, the short run supply curve of a price-taking firm is the increasing portion of the short run MC curve above the shutdown point.
This follows the law of supply which states that more quantity of the product of a firm will be supplied when there is a rise in the market price.
In summary, the short run supply curve of a price-taking firm is the positively-sloped portion of the short-run marginal cost curve
A mother, aged 60, wishes to withdraw monies from her variable annuity to pay for her son's college education. Which statement is true regarding the taxation of the withdrawal?
A. The withdrawal is 100% taxable
B. Any amount withdrawn above the cost basis is taxable
C. Any amount withdrawn above the cost basis is taxable, and is subject to a 10% penalty tax
D. The withdrawal is not subject to tax
Answer:
Any amount withdrawn above the cost basis is taxable
Explanation:
This woman is above 59½ years at age 60. If she was least than 60, she would be owing a 10% penalty on the taxable amount of this withdrawal. But since she is above this age she has to pay income taxes on the whole taxable amount of the funds she withdrew. Variable annuities would never be taxed the money is withdrawn. Therefore option B is the best answer for This question.
Barette Consulting currently has no debt in its capital structure, has $500 million of total assets, and its basic earning power is 15%. The CFO is contemplating a recapitalization where it will issue debt at a cost of 10% and use the proceeds to buy back shares of the company's common stock, paying book value. If the company proceeds with the recapitalization, its operating income, total assets, and tax rate will remain unchanged. Which of the following is most likely to occur as a result of the recapitalization? a) The ROA would remain unchanged b) The basic earning power ratio would decline c) The basic earning power ratio would increase d) The ROE would increase e) The ROA would increase
Answer:
d) The ROE would increase
Explanation:
Since the company's operating income will remain unchanged, net income will decrease due to interest expense, but the total number of shares outstanding will decrease. This will result in a higher EPS (earnings per share), and a higher ROE (return on equity), but it would also make the company's risk increase and Re (cost of equity) increase.
Coastal Shores Inc. (CSI) was completely destroyed by Hurricane Fred on August 5, 2021. At January 1, CSI reported an inventory of $153,000. Sales from January 1, 2021, to August 5, 2021, totaled $432,000 and purchases totaled $175,500 during that time. CSI consistently marks up its products 60% over cost to arrive at a selling price. The estimated inventory loss due to Hurricane Fred would be:
Answer:
58,500
Explanation:
Given the information above, the formula for Inventory loss is
Inventory loss = Opening inventory + Purchases - Cost of sales
Where,
Cost of sales = $432,000 × 100 ÷ 160
=$270,000
Since opening inventory = $153,000
Purchases = $175,500
Therefore,
Inventory loss = $153,000 + $175,500 - $270,000
= $58,500
Debra and Merina sell electronic equipment and supplies through their partnership. They wish to expand their computer lines and decide to admit Wayne to the partnership. Debra's capital is $200,000, Merina's capital is $160,000, and they share income in a ratio of 3:2, respectively.Required:Record Wayne's admission for each of the following independent situations:a. Wayne directly purchases half of Merina's investment in the partnership for $97,000.b. Wayne invests the amount needed to give him a one-third interest in the partnership's capital if no goodwill or bonus is recorded.
Answer:
a. Merina's captal is $160,000. Half would be $80,000.
Entry;
DR Merina, Capital ..................................................................$80,000
CR Wayne, Capital ....................................................................................$80,000
(To record purchase of half of Merina Capital)
b.
DR Cash......................................................................$180,000
CR Wayne, Capital.........................................................................$180,000
(To record Wayne investment)
Working
The current Capital amount is;
= 200,000 +160,000
= $360,000
If Wayne joins and adds to this such that he owns 1/3 then;
2/3x = 360,000
x = 360,000/2/3
x = $540,000
Wayne's share would be;
= 1/3 * 540,000
= $180,000
The journal entries that would take place will take effect as A- A debit in Merina's capital amount and Cash account as $17000 and a credit effect in Wayne's capital account. The amount of debit and credit will be $97000.
And for B- There will be Debit in Cash account effecting a credit in The Wayne's capital account. The amount effecting the debit and credit side will be $180,000.
The journal entries are added in the images attached to the answer. The entries would take place in the journal entries on the respective date of their occurrence.( Image attached below).When Wayne is introduced as partner for one third share the calculation of the amount of his capital would be shown as considering the capital as x. The capital by existing partners is $360000. (Image below).,[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}x\ = 360000[/tex]
[tex]x= \dfrac {360000}{\dfrac{2}{3}}[/tex]
Now the value of x will be calculated as
[tex]x= \dfrac{540000}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x=180000[/tex]
Therefore Wayne's capital will be calculated as $180,000, so he will be required to bring in additional $180,000 capital in the firm for getting one third share in the profits and losses of the company.Hence, the correct statements for A will be that Wayne pays $97000 which will be divided in Merina's capital and cash accounts in the proportion of $80000 and $17000 respectively.

A trader maintains a position in a small capitalization stock that has low trading volume. The trader has a high level of which of the following risks?
A) MarketB) LiquidityC) BusinessD) Inflation
Answer:
B) Liquidity
Explanation:
Liquidity is the ability of quickly buy or sell a stock without any price change.
Liquidity in a small-capitalization stock that has low trading volume is generally low that causes a problem for traders. It is so because in small capitalization, traders are unable to understand potential pitfalls and blindly invest in small-capitalization stocks which do not give profit as expected and the liquidity becomes low.
Hence, the correct answer is B) Liquidity.
g Founder of Vanguard, Jack Bogle, believes that all investors should buy stock indices. Group of answer choices He believes in strong form market efficiency. He believes in semi-strong form market efficiency. He believes in weak form market efficiency. He believes markets are not efficient.
Answer:
The answer is B. He believes in semi-strong form market efficiency.
Explanation:
Whether Jack Bogle believed in the efficient market hypothesis was controversial. One of his famous saying on the issue: "Whatever the consensus on the Efficient Market Hypothesis, I know of no serious academic, professional money manager, trained security analyst, or intelligent individual investor who would disagree with the thrust of EMH: The stock market itself is a demanding taskmaster.

Northwest Fur Co. started 2021 with $105,000 of merchandise inventory on hand. During 2021, $510,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 3/15, n/45. All discounts were taken. Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. Northwest paid freight charges of $8,900. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $3,700 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $362,000. Northwest uses a perpetual inventory system. What is ending inventory assuming Northwest uses the gross method to record purchases
Answer:
The ending inventory by using the gross method is $243,011
Explanation:
Purchases = Net purchases + Freight inwards
Purchases = 491,111 + 8,900
Purchases = 500,011
When Net purchase = Gross Purchase - Purchase return - Discount
Net purchase = 510,000 - 3,700- 15,189
Net purchase = 491,111
Working
Discount = (Purchases - Purchase return) × Discount rate
Discount = (510,000 - 3,700) * 3%
Discount = 15,189
Ending inventory = Beginning inventory + Purchases− Cost of good sold
Ending inventory = (105,000 + 500,011) - 362,000
Ending inventory = $243,011
Thus, the ending inventory by using the gross method is $243,011.
Consider a basket of consumer goods that costs $90 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs CNY 105 in China.
Holding constant the cost of the basket in each country, compute the real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates in the following table.
Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) Nominal Exchange Rate (Yuan per dollar) Real Exchange Rate (Baskets of Chinese goods per basket of U.S goods)
90 105 7.00
90 105 10.50
Answer:
The real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates are:
For the first row in the table RER is 6.
For the second row in the table RER is 9.
Note: See the attached excel file for the table.
Explanation:
Note: The table in the question is merged together. It is therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the sorted table.
The answer to the explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
The real exchange rate (RER) between the the currencies of two counties can be described as the multiplication of the nominal exchange and the ratio of baskets of goods between these two countries.
RER can can therefore be calculated using the following formula:
RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)
Where, from the question;
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)
For the first row in the table:
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
RER = (7 * 90) / 105
RER = 630 / 105
RER = 6
For the second row in the table:
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105
RER = 945 / 105
RER = 9
The real exchange rates that should lead from the two nominal exchange rates should be 6 and 9.
Calculation of the real exchange rate:RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)
Here,
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)
So,
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
Now
RER = (7 * 90) / 105
RER = 630 / 105
RER = 6
Now
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
So,
RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105
RER = 945 / 105
RER = 9

The unfavorable volume variance may be due to all of the following factors except:_______
a. failure to maintain an even flow of work
b. machine breakdowns
c. failure to obtain enough sales orders
d. unexpected increases in the cost of utilities
Answer:
d. unexpected increases in the cost of utilities
Explanation:
there are several volume variances:
direct materials volume variancedirect labor volume variancemanufacturing overhead volume variance sales volume varianceUtilities are part of manufacturing overhead, but volume variances using the standard rates, so an unexpected increase in the cost of utilities will not affect the overhead volume variance.
The unfavorable volume variance can not be due because of unexpected Increases in the cost of utilities
Unfavorable volume variance means that the amount of applied fixed manufacturing overhead costs is less than the budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs
The machine breakdowns will affect production levels, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variance.
The failure to maintain even flow of work will impact the production quantities, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variances
The failure to obtain enough sales order will limit production quantities, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variances.
Thus, the Option D is correct because unfavorable volume variance can not be due because of unexpected Increases in the cost of utilities

2. At an oral auction for used car, half of all bidders have a value of $1,500 and half have a value of $1,900. What is the expected winning bid if there are three bidders
Answer: $1,700
Explanation:
The expected winning bid is the weighted average of the 2 different bids.
Half of the bids are for $1,500 so weight of $1,500 is 0.5.
Half of the bids are for $1,900 so weight of $1,900 is 0.5.
Expected Winning bid = (1,500 * 0.5) + ( 1,900 * 0.5)
= 750 + 950
= $1,700
