Answer:
a) Krystal's account balance when she is 65:
$75,000 x (1 + 10%)¹⁸ = $416,993.80
$12,000 x 45.599 (FV annuity factor, 10%, 18 periods) = $547,188
total account balance = $964,181.80
Krystal will not reach her goal.
b) she need to save $1,200,000 - $964,181.80 = $235,818.20
she will need to save an extra $235,818.20 / 45.599 = $5,171.57 per year
her total contributions per year = $12,000 + $5,171.57 = $17,171.57
c) The historical growth rate of the S&P 500 is 12%, so it is really possible to earn at least 10%. Maybe the stock market is not going well right now, but you must remember that retirement accounts are long term accounts and last for many years. The market will have time to bounce back.
Costs that are capitalized because they are expected to have future value are called product costs; costs that are expensed are called period costs. This classification is important because it affects the amount of costs expensed in the income statement and the amount of costs assigned to inventory on the balance sheet. Product costs are commonly made up of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. Period costs include selling and administrative expenses.
A service company has which of the following costs
a. Direct Material
b. Overhead Costs
c. Product Costs
d. Expensed in the period incurred
Answer:
b. Overhead Costs
d. Expensed in the period incurred
Explanation:
-Direct material refers to the cost of the material used to manufacture a product.
-Overhead costs are the costs related to the operation of the business and they can't be assigned to a good or service.
-Product Costs are the costs to manufacture a product.
-Expensed in the period incurred are the period costs which are costs not related to the production of a good.
According to these definitions, a service company has the following costs: overhead costs and expensed in the period incurred because these are costs that are not related to the creation of a product.
On the other hand, the other options direct material and product costs are not right because these costs are directly related to products.

A project requires an initial investment of $10 million today. If the cost of capital exceeds the project IRR, then the project must have a(n):
Answer:
Negative NPV.
Explanation:
present value of cost exceeds present value of revenue that is been assumed in the investment plan of the said company/firm.
Net Present Value describes one of the discounted techniques of cash flow used in capital budget to determining the viability of a project or an investment. It is seen to have a huge difference between the present flow of the firms; which is cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time. Experts has tagged its primary advantage to be that it is seen to considers the concept of the time value of money.
Brunette Company is contemplating investing in a new piece of manufacturing machinery. The amount to be invested is $180,000. The present value of the future cash flows generated by the project is $163,000. Should they invest in this project?
Answer:
No, as the net present value comes in negative
Explanation:
As we know that
Net present value = Present value of cash inflows - Initial investment
where,
Present value os $163,000
And, the initial investment is $180,000
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the net present value is
= $163,000 - $180,000
= -$17,000
Therefore the company should not accept the project as net present value is in negative that is -$17,000
A survey of entrepreneurs focused on their job characteristics, work habits, social activities, leisure time, etc. One question put to each entrepreneur was, "What make of car (U.S., Europe, or Japan) do you drive
Answer: Hello below is the complete question
A survey of entrepreneurs focused on their job characteristics, work habits, social activities, leisure time, etc. One question put to each entrepreneur was, "What make of car (U.S., Europe, or Japan) do you drive?" The responses (number in each category) for a sample of 100 entrepreneurs are summarized below. The goal of the analysis is to determine if the proportions of entrepreneurs who drive American, European, and Japanese cars differ.
U.S. Europe Japan
40 35 25
In order to determine whether the true proportions in each response category differ, a one-way chi-square analysis should be conducted. Suppose the p-value for the test was calculated to be p=0.1738 . What is the appropriate conclusion to make when testing at α = 0.10?
Answer : The conclusion to be drawn is that We cannot reject the Null hypothesis if we use a one-way chi square analysis because at α = 0.1 from the chi-square tabulated p-value = 0.584 while the calculated /given p-value is = 0.1738
Explanation:
Data given:
p-value = 0.1738
α = 0.10
sample size = 100
U.S cars = 40, Europe cars = 35, Japan cars = 25
The conclusion to be drawn is that We cannot reject the Null hypothesis if we use a one-way chi square analysis because at α = 0.1 from the chi-square tabulated p-value = 0.584 while the calculated /given p-value is = 0.1738
An 85-year old risk averse investor is not happy about the minimal return she is earning on her current investments. She is stressed about having enough income because her cost of living has been increasing by more than 10% annually. Her current portfolio composition consists of:
40% Money Market Fund
50% Bonds
10% Equities
What changes should you suggest to her portfolio?
A. Reduce the Money Market Fund allocation by 10% (to 30%) and put the released funds in commodities such as gold
B. Reduce the Money Market Fund allocation by 30% (to 10%) and put the released funds in AAA-rated corporate bonds
C. Liquidate the entire Money Market Fund allocation and put the released funds in Equities, bringing that allocation up to 50%
D. Liquidate the entire Money Market Fund allocation and put the released funds in U.S. Treasury securities
Answer:
B. Reduce the Money Market Fund allocation by 30% (to 10%) and put the released funds in AAA-rated corporate bonds
Explanation:
First of all, since the investor is risk averse and cannot afford to lose money on any risky investment, she should change the mix of her investment portfolio but without increasing risks. Corporate bonds that are AAA-rated carry a very low risk and pay a little higher than money market funds. So a small decrease in money market fund assets and an increase in AAA-rated bonds should yield a slightly higher return.
Investing in equities would be too risky and US Treasuries pay even less interests than money market funds.
Telecom Systems can issue debt yielding 7 percent. The company is in a 30 percent bracket. What is its aftertax cost of debt
Answer:
After tax cost of debt = 0.049 or 4.9%
Explanation:
The after tax cost of debt is the rate of debt after deducting the benefit from tax savings due to interest payments required by the debt which are deductible before calculating tax. The after tax cost of debt is somewhat an effective cost of debt. It is calculated using the following formula,
After tax cost of debt = Cost of debt * (1 - tax rate)
After tax cost of debt = 0.07 * (1 - 0.3)
After tax cost of debt = 0.049 or 4.9%

A project has estimated annual net cash flows of $56,600. It is estimated to cost $339,600.
Required:
Determine the cash payback period.
Answer:
It will take exactly 6 full years to cover for the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $56,600
Initial investment= 339,600
The payback period is the time required for the cash flow to cover the initial investment:
Year 1= 56,600 - 339,600= -283,000
Year 2= 56,600 - 283,000= -226,400
Year 3= 56,600 - 226,400= -169,800
Year 4= 56,600 - 169,800= -113,200
Year 5= 56,600 - 113,200= -56,600
Year 6= 56,600 - 56,600= 0
It will take exactly 6 full years to cover for the initial investment.
In a concentrated network configuration:
a. firms perform a supply chain activity in one location and serve foreign locations from it
b. firms allow each site on the network to operate with full autonomy
c. firms tightly link operations and supply chain activities to one another
d. firms perform a supply chain activity in various countries
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Here, in this question, we are to select which of the options is best.
The correct answer to this question is that in a concentrated network configuration, firms allow each site on the network to operate with full autonomy.
What this means is that each site in the network operate independently of the other sites.
A site is thus an autonomous entity but still part of the concentrated network
Assume that the government is currently balancing the national budget so that outlays equal tax revenue. Then the economy slips into recession, and the government decides to increase government spending by $50 billion. The government must pay for this by borrowing; it must sell $50 billion worth of Treasury bonds. As a result: Group of answer choices
Answer: b. be in deficit by at least $50 billion.
Explanation:
The Government budget had been balanced but it will now have to spend $50 billion more than it is making. This will mean that Government expenditure will rise by $50 billion over the tax revenue which will lead to a deficit of the same amount.
These are bonds however meaning that the Government would have to pay interest on the $50 billion. This will push the deficit owed to over $50 billion meaning that the Government would be in deficit of at least $50 billion.
A single-channel queuing system has an average service time of eight minutes and an average time between arrivals of 10 minutes. The arrival rate is: Group of answer choices 10 per hour. 12.5 per hour. 6 per hour. 7.5 per hour. 8 per hour.
The correct answer is B. 6 per hour
Explanation:
The term "arrival rate" refers to the number of customers that arrive at a business during a specific time such as an hour or a day. This is determined by how often customers arrive or the time between arrivals. This concept complements the service rate, which refers to the customers that receive a service during a period of time.
In the case presented, it is known the time between arrivals is 10 minutes, this means it is expected every 10 minutes a new customer arrives. Based on this, each hour the business can expect a total of 6 customers as 60 minutes divided by 10 (time between arrivals) = 6 customers. Thus, the rate of arrival is 6 per hour.

Explanation:
An accountant that certifies audits of a company is expected.to do his due diligence. In this scenario Niles believed that the reports are true without checking them.
This is an act of negligence on Nile's part and he can be held liable for damages resulting from the oversight.
The certified audit report is not only being used by Prime business but other third parties like investors and other stakeholders. Any of these can hold Mike's liable for any misleading information in the audit reports
The ________ is the pipeline through which products, their ownership, communication, financing and payment, and risk flow to the consumer.
Answer: Marketing channel
Explanation: The marketing channel is simply the pipeline through which products, their ownership, communication, financing and payment, and risk flow to the consumer. It is defined as a set of interdependent organizations that help ease the transfer of ownership as products move from producer to business user or consumer thereby creating a continuous and seamless supply chain. They help facilitate the physical flow of goods through the supply chain,and in the marketing mix represents "place" or "distribution".
The development manager is required to choose between two projects. Project A has an IRR of 25% and project B has an IRR of 30%. Which of the following statements is correct? A. If she can invest only in one project, the manager will choose project B B. None of the statements above is correct C. If she can invest only in one project, the manager will choose project A D. If she can invest in both projects, the manager will choose both projects A and B
Answer:
A
D
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
Because the IRR of both projects are positive, both projects are acceptable.
If the manager can only choose one project, she should choose the one with the higher IRR because it would be more profitable.
You want to save $98,000 to buy an boat by making an equal, end of year payment into a brokerage account for the next 9 years. If you expect to earn an annual interest rate of 7.75% on your account, how much do you need to deposit each year into your account?
Answer:
Annual deposit= $7,930.11
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
FV= $98,000
n= 9 years
i= 0.0775
To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (98,000*0.0775) / [(1.0775^9) - 1]
A= $7,930.11
Answer: $7,930
Explanation:
The payments are to be equal so this is an annuity. The expected value is to be $98,000 in 9 years so this is a future value of an Annuity.
The formula is;
FV = [tex]P * \frac{[1 + i]^n-1}{i}[/tex]
98,000 = [tex]P * \frac{[1 + 0.075]^9-1}{0.075}[/tex]
98,000 = P * 12.3581
P = 98,000/12.3581
P = $7,930
Sheffield Auto Supply does not segregate sales and sales taxes at the time of sale. The register total for March 16 is $19,902. All sales are subject to a 7% sales tax. Compute sales taxes payable. Sales taxes payable
Answer:
Sales tax = Total sales / 100 + Sales Tax rate * Sales Tax rate
Sales tax = {$19,902 / (100 + 7)} * 7
Sales tax = ($19,902 / 107) * 7
Sales tax = $1,302
Date Account Title and Explanation Debit Credit
Cash $19,902
Sales Tax payable $1,302
Sales revenue $18,600
($19,902 / 107 * 100)
(To record sales and sales taxes payable)
Answer:
1,302
Explanation:
Sales without tax x (100%+sales tax rate) = sales with tax
sales without tax x 1.07 (100%+7%) = 19902
sales without tax = 19902/1.07
sales without tax = 18600
sales with tax - sales without tax = sales tax payable
19902 - 18600 = 1302
Faisal has in his savings account and can save an additional per year. If interest rates are 12%, how long will it take his savings to grow to ?
Answer:
5 years and 4 months = 5.33 years
Explanation:
the question is incomplete and it is missing several numbers. I found the following question which I think is the complete:
"Faisal has $12,000 in his savings account and can save an additional $3600 per year. If interest rates are 12%, how long will it take his savings to grow to $47,000? "
by the end of year 1, Faisal will have:
$12,000 x (1 + 12%) = $13,440+ $3,600total = $17,040by the end of year 2, Faisal will have:
$17,040 x (1 + 12%) = $19,084.80+ $3,600total = $22,684.80by the end of year 3, Faisal will have:
$22,684.80 x (1 + 12%) = $25,406.98+ $3,600total = $29,066.98by the end of year 4, Faisal will have:
$29,066.98 x (1 + 12%) = $32,487.81+ $3,600total = $36,087.81by the end of year 5, Faisal will have:
$36,087.81 x (1 + 12%) = $40,418.35+ $3,600total = $44,018.35Since Faisal is very close to his goal, we can calculate how much money he will have in 6 months:
in 5 years and 6 months, Faisal will have:
$44,018.35 x (1 + 6%) = $46,659.45+ $1,800total = $48,459.45Faisal's savings are too high in 6 more months, so we can calculate in 3 more months instead:
in 5 years and 3 months, Faisal will have:
$44,018.35 x (1 + 3%) = $45,338.90+ $900total = $46,238.90Faisal is just a little bit short:
in 5 years and 4 months, Faisal will have:
$44,018.35 x (1 + 43%) = $45,779.08+ $1,200total = $46,979.08I guess we are close enough because in one more month he will have a significantly higher amount.
A company would like to evaluate two incentive schemes that take effect once the worker exceeds standard performance. In the first case the benefits are split 30% to the worker and 70% to the company up to 120% performance. If the worker exceeds 120% performance, all of the earnings go to the worker. In the second case, all earnings beyond standard performance are split 50/50 between the worker and the company.
a. Plot the earnings for each scheme.
b. Derive the equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme
c. Find the point at which the two plans break even.
d. Which do you think would the company prefer?
Answer:
B) plan 1 : worker earning y = x - 0.14 , unit labor = [tex]\frac{x-(0.14)}{x}[/tex]
plan 2 : worker earning y = 0.5x + 0.5, unit labor = (0.5x + 0.5) / x
C) At 128%
D ) plan D IS PREFERABLE
Explanation:
In the first case Benefits are split : 30% to worker , 70% to company ( up to 120% ) performance
In the second case benefits 50% go to the worker and 50% go the company
B) The equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme
Plan 1 :
y ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1
unit labor cost = Y / 1
y = 0 - 30
unit labor = 0.3 / x
y = x - 0.14 therefore unit labor = [tex]\frac{x-(0.14)}{x}[/tex]
plan 2 :
y ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1, y = 0.5x + 0.5
unit labor cost : Y / 1 = (0.5x + 0.5) / x
C ) The point at which the two plans break even
0.5x + 0.5 = x - 0.14
0.5 + 0.14 = x - 0.5x
0.64 = x(1 - 0.5 )
x = 0.64 / 0.5 = 1.28 = 128%
D) The company would prefer plan 1
A stock has an expected return of 13.5 percent, its beta is 1.40, and the expected return on the market is 11.5 percent. What must the risk-free rate be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
The risk free rate is 6.50%
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 rate rM is the return on market
As we know the figures for r, Beta and rM, we will input these figures in the equation to calculate risk free rate.
Let risk free rate be x.
0.135 = x + 1.4 * (0.115 - x)
0.135 = x + 0.161 - 1.4x
0.135 - 0.161 = x - 1.4x
-0.026 = -0.4x
-0.026 / -0.4 = x
x = 0.065 or 6.50%
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Effectiveness of a solution is equal to:_______
a. Quality of a Solution 20% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 80%
b. Quality of a Solution 80% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 20%
c. Quality of a Solution 10% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 90%
d. Quality of a Solution 90% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 10%
e. None of the above
Answer:
a. Quality of a Solution 20% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 80%
Explanation:
We say that a solution is effective i.e 100%, when it has a 20% of its quality and 80% of its acceptability.
A solution is effective when it has a 100% effect. The application of a solution to a problem which yields 100% effect is said to be effective and acceptable.
The scale used is the relationship given as:
Effectiveness of a solution = Quality of a Solution 20% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 80%
A company makes cat food. Management is considering whether the hard cardboard box for packing a case of canned cat food should be made internally or purchased from another company. The costs of producing the cardboard boxes include:_________.
Variable cost per box $0.39
Total fixed costs of the factory $59,030 per year
Total boxes needed annually 21,962
Quote from the supplier, per box $0.22
How much will the company save (or lose) IN TOTAL if they accept the supplier's quote? If they lose money, put a negative sign in front of your answer. If they save money, just put in the number without any sign in front of it.
Answer:
Total relevant cost of 21,962 * $0.39 = $8,565.18
making internally
Less: Total relevant 21,962 * 0.22 = $4,831.64
cost of purchasing
Savings in cost $3,733.54
Conclusion: Manufacturing the hard cardboard box internally will save cost of $3,733.54 as compared to cost of purchasing the same quantity of box needed from supplier.
Note: Fixed costs is not relevant cost as it is unavoidable.
Buckson Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,350 per month plus $18 per frame. For the month of June, the company planned for activity of 716 frames, but the actual level of activity was 713 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $14,820. The supplies cost in the flexible budget for June would be closest to:
Answer:
c. $ 14,238
Explanation:
Computation of costs in the flexible budget
Planned activity 716 units
Budgeted cost per unit $ 18 per frame
Total planned variable cost - 716 units * $ 18 $ 12,888
Fixed monthly cost $ 1,350
Total supplies cost in flexible budget for June $ 14,238
The other information regarding the actual costs and actual production are not required for determining the budgted cost for supplies.
The federal gas tax has been stuck at 18.4cents¢ a gallon since 1993. Today, Americans are driving fewer miles, and vehicles have become more fuel-efficient. Less gas consumption means less gas-tax revenue to repair the nation's roads. Source: Bloomberg News, July 17, 2014 Would a tax per mile driven by more efficient or less efficient than a tax per gallon of gasoline? Which tax would be more regressive? Explain your answers.
Answer:
1. A Tax per mile driven would be more efficient than a tax per gallon of gasoline.
2. A tax per gallon of gasoline is more regressive. The tax is based on a fixed dollar per gallon since 1993. instead of being based on a percentage per the price of gasoline per gallon. With the current rate, the price of gasoline per gallon may even be less than the tax. One can then ask, "what is the purpose of the tax?" Is the tax a road tax or a per gallon use tax?
Explanation:
When the federal gas tax remains at 18.4 cents per gallon for a very long period, the tax can be described as regressive as it does not take into consideration the trend that Americans are driving fewer miles, and vehicles have become more fuel-efficient. This means that the gas tax is not fit for purpose. If its purpose is to generate revenue for road repairs, then instead of a gallon tax, government should institute a road use tax.
Financial capital markets bridge the gap between savers and investors: that is, they find ways to take the inflow of funds from many separate financial capital suppliers and transform it into the funds of financial capital demanders desire. Such financial markets include:_______
Answer: stocks, bank loans, bonds, and other financial investments.

The minimum desired rate of return for net present value analysis is 12%. The present value of $1 at compound interest of 12% for 1, 2, 3, and 4 years is 0.893, 0.797, 0.712, and 0.636, respectively. Determine the net present value. $
Answer: $18,848
Explanation:
The Net Present Value of a project is the difference between the present values of the cash outflows and inflows.
Present Values of the Cash flows;
Year 1
= 150,000 * 0.893
= $133,950
Year 2
= 130,000 * 0.797
= $103,610
Year 3
=104,000 * 0.712
= $74,048
Year 4
= 90,000 * 0.636
= $57,240
Net Present Value = Cash inflows - Outflow
= 133,950 +103,610 + 74,048 + 57,240 - 350,000
= $18,848
