. How much would you have to deposit today if you wanted to have $66,000 in four years? Annual interest rate is 9%. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.) b. Assume that you are saving up for a trip around the world when you graduate in two years. If you can earn 8% on your investments, how much would you have to deposit today to have $18,500 when you graduate? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c-1. Calculate the future value of an investment of $787 for ten years earning an interest of 9%. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. To have $66,000 in four years with an annual interest rate of 9%, the present value is:
PV = $66,000 x discount factor
= $66,000 x (1.09)^4
= $66,000 x 0.708
= $46,728
b. To have $18,500 in two years with an interest rate of 8% yearly, the present value is:
PV = $18,500 x discount factor
= $18,500 x (1.08)^2
= $18,500 x 0.857
= $15,854.50
c. The future value of an investment of $787 for ten years earning an interest of 9% is:
FV = $787 x FV factor
= $787 x (1.09)^10
= $787 x 2.367
= $1,862.83
Explanation:
The present values for options A and B are calculated by discounting the future values with their discount factors. The present values show the amounts that need to be invested today at prevailing interest rates to yield the future values after the indicated periods of time.
The future value for option C is calculated by multiplying the present value of the investment with its future value factor. These present and future values show that there is a time value of money. This concept means that money received today is not equal in value to the same amount received some time later. Based on this difference, interest rates are charged to equate the values of money received today and money received in a year's time. The interest rates also consider the inflation rate and must always be above the inflation rate in order to retain future value.
The risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 13%. a. Calculate the required rate of return on a security with a beta of 1.25.
Answer:
The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on marketr = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Sandhill corporation manufactures a single product. montlhly production costs incurred in the manufacturing process are show below for the production of 3900 maintanance costs are mixed costs. the fixed portions of these costs are 387 and 258, respectively.

Required:
Calculate variable costs per unit, variable cost per unit for utilities and variable cost per unit for maintenance.
Answer:
variable costs per unit = $10.57
variable cost per unit for utilities = $0.85
variable cost per unit for maintenance = $0.25
Explanation:
I believe that the question is incomplete: the missing part is that both utilities and maintenance costs are mixed.
Production in units 3,900
Variable production cost s:
Direct materials $9,675 / 3,900 = $2.4808 per unit
Direct labor $27,420 / 3,900 = $6.9846 per unit
Utilities ($3,702 - $387) / 3,900 = $0.85 per unit
Maintenance ($1,233 - $258) / 3,900 = $0.25 per unit
total variable costs per unit = $10.5654 ≈ $10.57
In a partnership liquidation, the final cash distribution to the partners should be made in accordance with the
Answer: B) balances of the partners' capital accounts.
Explanation:
Final cash distributions should be made proportionally to partners based on what they have in their Capital Accounts.
The balance in the Capital accounts of Partners shows the level of contribution that each partner has made to the business as well as their ownership proportion. When cash is to be distributed finally, it should therefore be based on the proportion of these Capital account balances to reflect the contribution and ownership.

Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided in the attached pdf file before answering the question. Please, see the attached file for the full question.
Also note that the "1. Option A 2. Option B 3. Option C" are not actually part of the question.
The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
Note: This is an example of annuity. An annuity can be described as a series of payments made or income received at equal intervals.
Therefore, the relevant table in the question is the second table, i.e. table for the present value of an annuity of $1 at compound interest.
To calculate the present value (PV), the following for formula is used:
PV = ACI * PVA10% ............................ (1)
PV = Present value = ?
ACI = Annual cash inflows = $6,000
PVA = Present value of annuity of $1 at 10% for 4 years = 3.170
Note that the PVA is obtained for year 4 at 10% from the second table as already explained above.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PV = $6,000 * 3.170
PV = $19,020
Therefore, the correct option is option b. $19,020.
Discuss and analyze a situation where you worked on a team/ project team consisting of diverse or intercultural team members
a. What were some good and/or poor examples of communication?
b. Discuss any examples or interpretation of cultural differences as described in Hoftstede's Cultural Values chart on p. 46 of your text (i.e. individualism, time orientation, formality, etc.).
c. Is there anything that could have been done to make the communication more effective?
Explanation:
a. What were some good and/or poor examples of communication?
Intercultural communication in the workplace can generate some significant difficulties, in an intercultural work team, there may be behaviors of certain members that differ from the rest of the group, which can mean lack of integration of the team due to lack of respect and interest to the cultural values of a particular member.
b. Discuss any examples or interpretation of cultural differences as described in Hoftstede's Cultural Values chart on p. 46 of your text (i.e. individualism, time orientation, formality, etc.).
Formality can be interpreted differently according to different cultures. In a more flexible culture like the American one, for example, formality may not be so expressed through the use of formal language and dress, whereas in a less flexible culture, this can be seen as a disrespect, as they can establish a more serious and formal communication in the workplace.
c. Is there anything that could have been done to make the communication more effective?
To make intercultural communication more effective, it is necessary above all to respect the individual values of an individual that exist in certain ways in some situations. The ideal is that people are open to learn and exchange experiences, willing to help the individual to integrate into the group, and above all to act in an ethical and respectful way always.
Which of the following is one of the two fundamental issues that the recommendations of the 1947 Hutchins Commission on social responsibility in journalism were based on?a. Society's welfare is paramount. b. Morality should be a business practice. c. Corporate responsibility is essential. d. The golden rule should be written in stone.
Answer:
a. Society's welfare is paramount.
Explanation:
A commission on the freedom of press also known as "The Hutchins Commission" was formed in the United States of America (USA) during the World War II (WWII) by Robert Maynard Hutchins.
In 1947 after deliberating on the issues of press for four (4) years, the Hutchins Commission concluded that society's welfare is paramount, this is one of the two fundamental issues that the recommendations of the 1947 Hutchins Commission on social responsibility in journalism is based on. The commission stated that the development and stability of a society is influenced by the operations of the press and as such it is very important that the mass media (press) is socially responsible.
Some of the guidelines or recommendations made by the Hutchins Commission for the press are;
1. Present meaningful, reliable and accurate news to the general public; not opinions.
2. Present an overall view of what was known about society.
3. Avail the citizens an opportunity for constructive criticism and exchange of comment about the government.

Jacob Corcoran bought 10,000 shares of Grebe Corporation stock two years ago for $24,000. Last year, Jacob received a nontaxable stock dividend of 2,000 shares in Grebe Corporation. In the current tax year, Jacob sold all of the stock received as a dividend for $18,000.
Required:
a. Complete the letter to Jacob describing the tax consequences of the stock sale.
b. Prepare a memo for the tax research file describing the tax consequences of the stock sale.
c.
Answer:
Jacob purchased 10000 shares form Grebe corporation two years ago for $24000
last year Jacob received a non taxable stock dividend of 2000 shares from Grebe corporation
In the current year tax year Jacob sold all stock received as dividend that's 2000 shares for $18000
The gain of the sale of 2000 shares can be calculated by subtracting the basis in the shares from the cost price. the cost of shares = ( $24000 / 12000 ) = $2 per share
profit made from the sales of 2000 shares is calculated as follows ; selling price ( $18000 ) - cost price of 2000 shares ( $2 * 2000) , the profit is $14000 and it is in the long term because the original shares bought has been held for at least 1 year

Calculating the Direct Labor Rate Variance and the Direct Labor Efficiency Variance
Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company is a service company that offers oil changes and lubrication for automobiles and light trucks. On average, Guillermo has found that a typical oil change takes 18 minutes and 6.2 quarts of oil are used. In June, Guillermo's Oil and Lube had 990 oil changes.
Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company provided the following information for the production of oil changes during the month of June:
Actual number of oil changes performed: 990
Actual number of direct labor hours worked: 291 hours
Actual rate paid per direct labor hour: $16.00
Standard rate per direct labor hour: $15.00
Required:
a. Calculate the direct labor rate variance (LRV) and the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) for June using the formula approach.
b. Calculate the direct labor rate variance (LRV) and the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) for June.
c. Calculate the total direct labor variance for oil changes for June.
d. What if the actual wage rate paid in June was $14.00? What impact would that have had on the direct labor rate variance (LRV)? On the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV)? Indicate what the new variances would be below. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.
Answer:
Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company
Calculating the Direct Labor Rate Variance and the Direct Labor Efficiency Variance
a1. Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Labor Rate minus Standard Labor Rate multiplied by Actual hours worked
= $16 - $15 x 291
= $291 U
a2. Direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) = Standard hours minus Actual hours x Standard hourly rate
= 297 - 291 x $15
= $90 F
b1. Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = the difference between the actual wages paid and the standard wages
= (Actual labour rate x actual hours) - (standard rate x actual hours)
= ($16 x 291) - ($15 x 291)
= $4,656 - $4,365
= $291 U
b2. Direct labor efficiency variance = the difference between the actual number of direct labor hours worked and budgeted direct labor hours that should have been worked based on the standards
(291 x $15) - (297 x $15)
4,365 - 4,455
= $90 F
c. Total Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Wages minus Standard Wages
= (Actual labor rate x Actual hours) - (Standard labor rate x Standard hours)
= ($16 x 291) - ($15 x 297)
= $4,656 - $4,455
= $201 U
d. If actual wage rate paid in June was $14.00:
d1. Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Labor Rate minus Standard Labor Rate multiplied by Actual hours worked
= $14 - $15 x 291
= $291 F
d2. Direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) = Standard hours minus Actual hours x Standard hourly rate
= 297 - 291 x $15
= $90 F
d3. Total Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Wages minus Standard Wages
= (Actual labor rate x Actual hours) - (Standard labor rate x Standard hours)
= ($14 x 291) - ($15 x 297)
= $4,074 - $4,455
= $381 F
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations
Actual number of oil changes performed: 990
Standard number of direct labor hours to for 990 oil changes = 990 x 0.3 hours (since 18 minutes = 0.3 hours or 18/60) = 297 hours
Actual number of direct labor hours worked: 291 hours
Actual rate paid per direct labor hour: $16.00
Standard rate per direct labor hour: $15.00
b) The impact on direct labor rate variance if the actual wage rate paid in June was $14 was to turn the unfavorable labor rate variance into a favorable variance of $291 and the total direct labor variance would have been a favorable variance $381 instead of an unfavorable variance of $201.
At an output level of 415,400 units, you have calculated that the degree of operating leverage is 2.00. The operating cash flow is $58,000 in this case. Ignore the essect of taxes. What will be the new degree of operating leverage for output levels of 16,400 units and 14,400 units
Answer:
the new degree of operating leverage for output levels of 16,400 units and 14,400 units will be -0.0858 and - 0.0745 respectively.
Explanation:
From the given information:
the degree of operating the leverage at 415,400 units = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{contribution \ \ margin}{operating \ \ income}}[/tex]
where contribution margin = 2 × 58000 =116000
If we assume that the sales price should be p and the variable cost be q per unit .
Then, 415,400p - 415,400q = 116000
p - q = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{116000}{415400}}[/tex]
p - q = 0.279 at 415400 unit
Contribution margin = 415400 × 0.279
Contribution margin = 115896.6
The operating income = contribution margin - fixed expense
58000 = 115896.6 - fixed expense
fixed expense = 115896.6 - 58000
fixed expense = 57896.6
However, when the output level is 16400 unit,
the contribution margin = 16400(p-q)
the contribution margin = 16400(0.279)
the contribution margin = 4575.6
The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{contribution \ \ margin}{contribution \ \ margin - fixed \ \ costs}}[/tex]
The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{4575.6}{4575.6 - 57896.6}}[/tex]
The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{4575.6}{-53321}}[/tex]
The operating leverage = -0.0858
when the output level is 14400 unit,
the contribution margin = 14400(p-q)
the contribution margin = 14400(0.279)
the contribution margin = 4017.6
The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{contribution \ \ margin}{contribution \ \ margin - fixed \ \ costs}}[/tex]
The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{4017.6}{4017.6 - 57896.6}}[/tex]
The operating leverage = [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{4017.6}{-53879}}[/tex]
The operating leverage = - 0.0745

Rahman stock just paid a dividend of $3.00 per share. Future dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% per year. What is the value of the stock if the required return is 12%
Answer:value of stock for the required return of 12 % = $53
Explanation:
Given
current dividend just paid = $3.00
dividend to grow at constant rate of 6%
required rate of return =12%
to calculate the value of stock for the requitred return of 12 % , we use the dividend growth model which is
Current price = dividend ( 1 + growth rate )/ (required rate -growth rate )
= 3 x (1+6%) / 12-6 = 3 x 1.06 /6% =3.18/0.06= $53
Therefore value of stock for the requitred return of 12 % ,= $53
Firm A has set an MSRP of MXN 25 for its product, and the average discount to distributors is 30%. What is revenue on 40 million units
Answer: 700 million
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Firm A has set an MSRP of MXN 25 for its product, and the average discount to distributors is 30%.
The revenue on 40 million units will be calculated as:
= (40,000,000 × 25) × (100% - 30%)
= 1,000,000,000 × 70%
= 1,000,000,000 × 0.7
= 700,000,000
The answer is 700 million.
The revenue on 40 million units is 700,000,000.
The calculation is as follows:
= (40,000,000 × 25) × (100% - 30%)
= 1,000,000,000 × 70%
= 1,000,000,000 × 0.7
= 700,000,000

Polly Khan is trying to calculate the current market rate given the following information: Investor’s have been requiring a 12% annual return on Builtrite’s stock which has a beta of 2.0 and the current risk-free rate is 4%. What is the current market rate?
Answer:
The current market rate is 8%
Explanation:
The market rate is the return on market or the market portfolio. To calculate the market rate (rM) we will use the CAPM equation which is used to calculate the required rate of return on a stock or portfolio. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the market rateWe already know the value of r, rRF and Beta. We will input these values in the above equation to calculate the market rate.
0.12 = 0.04 + 2 * (rM - 0.04)
0.12 - 0.04 = 2 * rM - 0.08
0.08 + 0.08 = 2 * rM
0.16 / 2 = rM
rM = 0.08 or 8%
Vincent operates a scenic tour business in Boston. He has one bus which can fit 50 people per tour and each tour lasts 2 hours. His total cost of operating one tour is fixed at $450. Vincent’s cost is not reduced if he runs a tour with a partially full bus. While his cost is the same for all tours, Vincent charges each passenger his/her willingness to pay (reservation value): adults $18 per trip, children $10 per trip, and senior citizens $12 per trip. At those rates, on a typical day Vincent’s demand is:
Answer:
There is some information missing, and when I looked for it I found similar questions but the demand was already given and the question was about Vincent's total daily income.
Passenger Price Daily demand
Adults $18 70
Children $10 25
Senior citizens $12 55
total 150
total revenue per day = ($18 x 70) + ($10 x 25) + ($12 x 55) = $1,260 + $250 + $660 = $2,170
total operating costs per day = (150 / 50) x $450 = $1,350
operating income per day = $2,170 - $1,350 = $820

Answer:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $19,952 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard hours per unit of output 5.2 hours
Standard variable overhead rate $11.60 per hour
Actual hours 2,500 hours
Actual output of 150 units
To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
Standard quantity= 5.2*150= 780
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (780 - 2,500)*11.6
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $19,952 unfavorable

White Lion Homebuilders is considering investing in a one-year project that requires an initial investment of $475,000. To do so, it will have to issue new common stock and will incur a flotation cost of 2.00%. At the end of the year, the project is expected to produce a cash inflow of $595,000. The rate of return that White Lion expects to earn on its project (net of its flotation costs) is:___________.
Answer:
22.81%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of return is shown below:
= (cash inflow ÷ total cost) - 1
where,
Cash inflow is $595,000
And, the total cost is
= $475,000 + $475,000 × 2%
= $475,000 + $9,500
= $484,500
So, the rate of return is
= ($595,000 ÷ $484,500) - 1
= 22.81%

3. At an oral auction for a lamp, half of all bidders have a value of $50 and half have a value of $70. What is the expected winning bid if there are four bidders
Answer: $60
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that At an oral auction for a lamp, half of all bidders have a value of $50 and half have a value of $70.
The expected winning bid if there are four bidders goes thus:
Since there are four bidders, the probability that the winning bid is $50 is 1/2 and for $70, it's 1/2 as well based on the question.
The expected winning bid will now be:
= ($50 × 1/2) + ($70 × 1/2)
= ($50 × 0.5) + ($70 × 0.5)
= $25 + $35
= $60
