b. $611,235.
c. $23,567.
d. $43,567.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

FV= $411,235.06

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual deposit= $2,500

Number of periods= 30 years

Interest rate= 10%

To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {2,500*[(1.1^30) - 1]} / 0.1

FV= $411,235.06

Economies of scale are associated with:________
a. indivisible setup costs.
b. diminishing marginal productivity.
c. zero setup costs.
d. the short run.

Answers

Answer:

b. diminishing marginal productivity.

Explanation:

Economies of scale means that as total output increases, the average total cost per unit decreases.

In other words, marginal productivity decreases as total output increases, and at one point it will become negative.

A company resells 400 shares of its own common stock for $20 per share. The company has acquired these shares two months before for $15 per share. The resale of this stock would be recorded with a:_______.
A) Debit to Common Stock for $8,000
B) Credit to Treasury Stock for $8,000
C) Credit to Additional Paid-In Capital for $2,000
D) Debit to Additional Paid-In Capital for $2,000

Answers

Answer:

C. Credit to additional paid-in capital for $2,000

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that 400 shares of own common stock was resell for $20 per share in which the shares was acquired two months before for $15 per share which means that the resale of this stock would be recorded with a: Credit to additional paid-in capital for $2,000

Calculated as:

Additional paid-in capital=(400 shares*$20 per share)-(400 shares*$15 per share)

Additional paid-in capital=$8,000-$6,000

Additional paid-in capital=$2,000

The money demand function for an economy is given by (M/P)d = (0.6Y)/(i1/2). If output is 1,000 units, the nominal interest rate is 9%, and the money supply is $1,200, the price level is _____.

Answers

Answer:

$0.6

Explanation:

Nominal interest rate (i) = 9% = 0.09

Output (Y) = 1,000

Money supply(M) = 1,200

==> (M/P)^d = (0.6Y) / i^(1/2)

==> 1200/P = 0.6*1000 / 0.09^(1/2)

==> 1200/P = 600 / 0.3

==> 1200/P = 2000

==> 1200 = 2000 * P

==> P = 1200/2000

==> P = $0.6

Therefore, the price level is $0.6

Answers

Answer:

Hulkster's 2021 profit margin is:

17.1%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                   2021          2020

Accounts receivable              $40,000     $36,000

Merchandise inventory         $28,000       35,000

Net sales                                190,000      186,000

Cost of goods sold                 114,000      108,000

Total assets                          425,000     405,000

Total shareholders' equity  240,000     225,000

Net income                            32,500        28,000

Profit margin = net income/net sales * 100

= $32,500/$190,000 * 100

= 17.1%

b) The profit margin of 17.1% indicates that Hulkster Company has generated an income of 17.1 cents for each dollar of sales.  It shows the company's income performance with relation to the net sales revenue.  It is a ratio of the net income expressed as a percentage of the sales.

Monopoly firms face a. downward-sloping demand curves, so they can sell only the specific price-quantity combinations that lie on the demand curve. b. horizontal demand curves, so they can sell only a limited quantity of output at each price. c. horizontal demand curves, so they can sell as much output as they desire at the market price. d. downward-sloping demand curves, so they can sell as much output as they desire at the market price.

Answers

Answer:

Option d (downward..................................market price) would be the right approach.

Explanation:

The monopoly is attributed to the idea that an organization and therefore its distribution channels control one market or business. Monopolies may be called a social consequence of unlimited access competition and therefore are frequently further used to characterize an organization that had already absolute or relatively close market power.

Other options aren't connected to something like the situation in question. So the above alternative seems to be the right one.

A manual press costs $16,000, and it will be scrapped after 10 years. Compute the depreciation and book value for the first two years using 100% bonus depreciation.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation and the book value for the first two years would be

Depreciation for Year 1

= 100% Bonus + regular depreciation

= $16,000 + $16,000 ÷ 10 years

= $17,600

And,

Book value year 1 is

= $16,000 - $1,600

= $14,400

Now

Depreciation for Year 2 is

= Regular depreciation

= $1,600

And,

Book value year 2 is

= $14,400 - $1,600

= $12,800

The required return on the stock of Moe's Pizza is 10.8 percent and aftertax required return on the company's debt is 3.40 percent. The company's market value capital structure consists of 69 percent equity. The company is considering a new project that is less risky than current operations and it feels the risk adjustment factor is minus 1.9 percent. The tax rate is 39 percent. What is the required return for the new project?

Answers

Answer:

6.88%

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt * Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity * Weight of Equity]

WACC = [3.40%*0.39] + [10.80%*0.69)

WACC = [0.034*0.39] + [0.108*0.69)

WACC = 0.01326 + 0.07452

WACC = 0.08778

WACC = 8.78%

The required return for the new project = Weighted Average Cost of Capital – Risk Adjustment Factor

The required return for the new project = 8.78% - 1.90%

The required return for the new project = 6.88%

Explain the actions the FED should take if it wanted to move from a point on the short-run Phillips curve representing high unemployment and low inflation to a point representing lower unemployment and higher inflation.

Answers

Answer:

The short run Phillips curve states that there is an inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation in the short run.

Since unemployment is high and the inflation rate is low, in order for the FED to decrease unemployment and increase inflation it must decrease the interest rate. That way, the economy should kick off and start growing which should decrease unemployment and at the same time will increase inflation.

Answers

Answer:

a. the college is a constructive bailee, obligated to return the textbook to Lacy, and until it does, it is liable for harm to the property.

Explanation:

When a party comes into possession of a property not by contractual agreement, they are referred to as constructive bailee and are obligated to take care of the property till it is returned to the owner.

The bailee does not willingly take possession of the property, rather unforseen circumstances leads to them possessing it.

This is common when a person forgets his property in a place.

In the given scenario the college (Dean of Business College) became a constructive bailee when they recieved the misplaced textbook. So they are obligated to care for the textbook till it get back to Lacy or be held liable for any harm done

Answers

Answer:

A monopolist can sell 15 toys per day for $12.50 each. To sell 16 toys per day, the price must be cut to $12.20. The marginal revenue of the 16th toy is:_________.

A. $12.20.

Explanation:

For this monopolist, the marginal revenue is the incremental revenue which it generates from each additional unit of sales.  It can also be expressed as the rate at which total revenue changes from what it was before now.  In this case, the additional revenue that the monopolist will get from selling one additional unit is $12.20.  It is the additional revenue that the monopolist gets for the 16th item.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts as employed people who work part-time, but would prefer to work full-time. Suppose the people who had part-time jobs, but wanted full-time jobs, were counted as unemployed. Explain how the unemployment rate and the labor force participation rate would change.

Answers

Answer:

The labor participation rate would not change because it counts the labor force as a percentage of the total adult population, and the labor force includes both the number of people employed and the number of people unemployed, so, even if those working part-time were counted as unemployed by the BLS, they would still be part of the Labor Force.

The labor participation rate formula is:

Labor Participation Rate = (Labor Force / Total Adult Population) x 100

The unemployment rate would indeed change, because it counts the number of unemployed as a percentage of the labor force. If those working part-time were counted as unemployed by the BLS, the number of people unemployed would obviously spike.

The formula is:

Unemployment Rate = (Number of Unemployed / Labor Force) x 100

Your Boston-headquartered manufacturing company, Wruck Enterprises, obtained a 54-million-peso loan from a Mexico City bank last month to fund the expansion of your Monterrey, Mexico, plant. The exchange rate was 14 U.S. cents per peso when you took out the loan, but since then the exchange rate has dropped to 7 U.S. cents per peso. Has Wruck Enterprises made a gain or a loss due to the exchange rate change, and how much

Answers

Answer: 3.78 million dollars

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the amount of money that Wruck Enterprises would pay when the exchange rate is 7 US cents per peso would be:

= 54-million × 7 cent

= 378,000,000 cent

= 3.78 million dollars

When the exchange rate was 14 U.S. cents per peso , the amount paid would have been:

= 54 million × 14 cent

= 756,000,000 cent

= 7.56 million dollars

Therefore, Wruck Enterprises made a gain of (7.56 million - 3.78 million) = 3.78 million dollars
