Answer:
$9,250
Explanation:
Calculation for the net differential income from the lease alternative
Lease amount=$45,000
Estimated expenses=$12,000
Net sale of equipment=Sale of equipment through broker $25,000 less 5% commission
Using this formula
Net differential income = Lease amount - estimated expenses - Net sale of equipment
Let plug in the formula
Net differential income= $45,000-$12,000-($25,000-($25,000*5%)
Net differential income=$45,000-$12,000-($25,000-$1,250)
Net differential income=$45,000-$12,000-$23,750
Net differential income=$45,000-$35,750
Net differential income=$9,250
Therefore net differential income from the lease alternative is $9,250

Assume that the current ratio for Arch Company is 2.5, its acid-test ratio is 2.0, and its working capital is $390,000. Answer each of the following questions independently, always referring to the original information. Required: a. How much does the firm have in current liabilities? (Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Current liabilities = 260,000
Explanation:
Given:
Current ratio = 2.5
Working capital = $390,000
Find:
Current liabilities
Computation:
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
$390,000 = Current assets - Current liabilities
Current assets = Current liabilities + $390,000
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
2.5 = [Current liabilities + $390,000] / Current liabilities
2.5 Current liabilities = Current liabilities + $390,000
Current liabilities = 260,000
Suppose the rate of inflation was 2 percent in India from 2008-2012 and, over that same period, the inflation rate in the United States was 2.7 percent. Based on these inflation trends, which of the following is true?
a. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has depreciated relative to the dollar.
b. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar
Answer:
b. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar
Explanation:
Remember, the inflation rate looks at how the prices of goods and services in a country increases over a period of time, and it's effects on the the purchasing value or power of money in the country.
As in this scenario, India had 2 percent inflation rate while United States had 2.7 which is a higher price increases not in a different period but the same one, meaning that the Purchasing power parity (PPP) condition of the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar from 2008-2012.
An investment adviser representative (IAR) asks a customer for a loan of $5,000. The customer agrees, and both the customer and the IAR document the loan by signing a written agreement. Under the provisions of the Uniform Securities Act, the IAR:
Answer:
D. Has not committed an unethical act since the loan was documented in writing.

Let's say that you choose to buy bread in a grocery store. According to the marginal benefit and marginal cost principle, how many loaves of bread will you purchase if you know the following:
A loaf of bread costs $2.00. Each dollar is worth 100 utils to you (so $2 is worth 200 utils). The first loaf of bread gives you 400 utils of satisfaction. The second loaf of bread gives you 320 utils of satisfaction. The third loaf of bread gives you 280 utils of satisfaction. The fourth loaf of bread gives you 220 utils of satisfaction. The fifth loaf of bread gives you 160 utils of satisfaction. The sixth loaf of bread gives you 30 utils of satisfaction. The seventh loaf of bread gives you no more additional utils.
1. Four loaves.
2. One loaf.
3. Three loaves.
4. Two loaves.
5. Six loaves.
6. Five loaves.
7. Seven loaves.
It will be advisable to purchase six loaves of bread to derive the optimum amount of marginal utility upon consumption. Hence, option 6 is correct.
What is marginal utility?The utility derived upon consumption of each additional unit of a product, given that other things remain constant, is known as the marginal utility derived.
It has been provided that the utility derived upon the consumption of seventh loaf will not derive further utility. And thus, six loaves derive optimum amount of utility for the consumer.
Hence, option 6 holds true regarding deriving the marginal utility.

Cole Co. began constructing a building for its own use in January 20X3. During 20X3, Cole incurred interest of $50,000 on specific construction debt, and $20,000 on other borrowings. Interest computed on the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures for the building during 20X3 was $40,000. What amount of interest cost should Cole capitalize
Answer: $40,000
Explanation:
When capitalizing Interest for a PPE, accounting procedure is that one looks at the actual interests incurred vs the interest computed on the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures for the PPE and then pick the lower of the two for capitalization.
The actual interest incurred is;
= 50,000 + 20,000
= $70,000
The Interest computed on the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures for the building during 20X3 = $40,000. This is the lower one and so will be the amount capitalized.

The stock in Bowie Enterprises has a beta of .87. The expected return on the market is 11.70 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.89 percent. What is the required return on the company's stock
Answer:
10.55%
Explanation:
The stock in Bowie's enterprise has a beta of 0.87
The expected return on the market is 11.70%
The risk free rate is 2.89%
Therefore, the required return on the company stock can be calculated as follows

An increase in taxes when the economy is above full employment ______ aggregate demand and real GDP, and the price level ______.
Question options :
A. increases; falls
B. decreases; falls
C. does not change; does not change
D. increases; rises
Answer:
B. decreases; falls
Explanation:
let us understand this by looking at the logic behind it. First when the economy is at full employment, there is high demand since there will be increase in money supply through increased circulation from salaries and wages. If government increases taxes, this will reduce purchasing power as money supply will be reduced and therefore demand will be reduced. Also price will fall since according to the Law of demand and supply, if demand is more than supply, price will increase

SkyChefs, Inc., prepares in-flight meals for a number of major airlines. One of the company’s products is grilled salmon in dill sauce with baby new potatoes and spring vegetables. During the most recent week, the company prepared 5,100 of these meals using 2,000 direct labor-hours. The company paid its direct labor workers a total of $28,000 for this work, or $14.00 per hour. According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.40 direct labor-hours at a cost of $13.50 per hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 5,100 meals? 2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH × SR) to prepare 5,100 meals? 3. What is the labor spending variance? 4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do no round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
1. 2,040 Hours
2. $27,540
3. 460 U
4.Labor rate variance = 1,000 U , Labor efficiency variance = 540 F
Explanation:
1. Standard labor hour allowed = (5,100 * 0.40) = 2,040 Hours
2. Standard labor cost = (2,040 * $13.50) = $27,540
3. Labor spending variance = (Standard cost - actual cost)
Labor spending variance = (27,540 - 28,000)
Labor spending variance = 460 U
4. Labor rate variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual hours
Labor rate variance = ($13.50 - $14) * 2000
Labor rate variance = 0.50 * 2,000 U
Labor rate variance = 1,000 U
Labor efficiency variance = (Standard hour - Actual hour) * Standard rate
Labor efficiency variance= (2,040 - 2,000) * $13.50
Labor efficiency variance = 40 * 13.50 F
Labor efficiency variance = 540 F
Dairy Wishes, a local ice cream store, finds
that it sells out of ice cream sandwiches at the current price of $1. It raises the price to increase its
revenues and finds that no one buys ice cream sandwiches anymore
The demand for icecream sandwiches is
a. inelastic.
b. elastic.
c. perfectly inelastic.
d. perfectly elastic.
e. unitary elastic.
Answer:
d. perfectly elastic.
Explanation:
Demand is perfectly elastic if it at the current price, the product is sold out but if there is a change in price demand falls to zero. the demand curve is horizontal
Demand in perfectly inelastic if there is no change in quantity demanded regardless of the change in price.
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
A subcontractor is responsible for outfitting six satellites that will be used for solar research. Four of the six have been completed in a total of 600 hours. If the crew has a 75% learning curve, how long should it take them to finish the last two units?
Answer: ∑Tₓ = 201.222
time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes
Explanation:
Given that,
total time required to four units is 600 hours,
Learning curve applied is 75% and from the learning curve coefficient table, total time factor to complete four units at 75% learning curve is 2.946
so
∑Tₙ = T₁ × total time factor
{ ∑Tₙ is total time required to complete all the units which is 600 hrs, T₁ is Time for first unit, total time factor = 2.946 }
we substitute
∑T₄ = ∑T₁ × total time factor
600 = ∑T₁ × 2.946
∑T₁ = 600/2.946
∑T₁ = 203.666 minutes
Now to get the total time required to complete 6 units, we say:
∑T₆ = ∑T₁ × total time factor
Note that total time factor at this point changes;
( from the learning curve coefficient table, total time factor to complete 6 units at 75% learning curve is 3.934)
so we substitute
∑T₆ = 203.666 × 3.934
∑T₆ = 801.222
Now to find how long should it take them to finish the last two units, we say
∑Tₓ = ∑T₆ - ∑T₄
∑Tₓ = 801.222 - 600
∑Tₓ = 201.222
Therefore time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes
The time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes
Given data
Total time required to four units is 600 hours
Learning curve applied is 75% and 75% learning curve is 2.946
∑Tₙ = T₁ × total time factor
{ ∑Tₙ is total time required to complete all the units which is 600 hrs, T₁ is Time for first unit, total time factor = 2.946 }
we substitute
∑T₄ = ∑T₁ × total time factor
600 = ∑T₁ × 2.946
∑T₁ = 600/2.946
∑T₁ = 203.666 minutes
Now to get the total time required to complete 6 units, we say:
∑T₆ = ∑T₁ × total time factor
so we substitute
∑T₆ = 203.666 × 3.934
∑T₆ = 801.222
Now, we will find how long should it take them to finish the last two units
∑Tₓ = ∑T₆ - ∑T₄
∑Tₓ = 801.222 - 600
∑Tₓ = 201.222
In conclusion, the time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

has a target debt−equity ratio of .50. Its cost of equity is 15 percent, and its cost of debt is 6 percent. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
11.35%
Explanation:
The calculation of WACC is shown below:-
WACC = Cost of equity × (equity ÷ (Debt + Equity)) + cost of debt × (debt ÷ (Debt + Equity)) × (1 - tax rate)
= 0.15 × (1 ÷ 1.50) + 0.06 × (0.50 ÷ 1.50) × (1 - 0.34)
= 0.15 × 0.67 + 0.06 × 0.33 × 0.66
= 0.1005 + 0.013068
= 11.35%
Therefore for computing the WACC we simply applied the above formula.

An increase in it is likely to encourage a company to use more debt in its capital structure.
The lower the corporate tax rate, the more it drives or leads to growth in capital stock, wages, jobs and others while the higer(increase) in corporate income tax rate, the more it affects economic decisions.
An Increase in a company's debt ratio will therefore lead to an increase in the marginal cost of both debt and equity financing. Also this action may lower the company's WACC
Yan Yan Corp. has a $5,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 21 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.1 percent.
What is the price of the bond?
Answer:
Price of the bond = $4,122.36
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Yan Yan Corp. be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 4.6% × 5,000 × 1/2 = 115
Semi-annual yield = 4.1%/2 = 2.05 % per six months
Total period to maturity (in months) = (2 × 21) = 41 periods
PV of interest =
115 × (1- (1+0.0205)^(-21)/0.0205)=1,946.47
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 5000 × (1.0205^(-41) = 2,175.89
Step 3:Price of the bond
Total present Value = 1,946.47 + 2,175.89 = 4,122.36
Price of the bond = $4,122.36
A common stock pays an annual dividend per share of $1.80. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the risk premium for this stock is 4%. If the annual dividend is expected to remain at $1.80 per share, what is the value of the stock
Answer:
The value of the stock today is $20
Explanation:
Using the CAPM equation, we first calculate the required rate of retunr on the stock.
The equation for CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketBeta * rpM is the risk premium on stockr = 0.05 + 0.04
r = 0.09 or 9%
The value of the stock can be calculated using the zero growth model of DDM. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. As the dividend from the stock is expected to remain constant through out to an indefinite period, the value of the stock today is,
P0 = Dividend / r
P0 = 1.8 / 0.09
P0 = $20
