Answer:
Coupon rate = 0.08402 or 8.402%
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = x
Total periods (n)= 16.5 * 2 = 33
r or YTM = 7.7% * 1/2 = 3.85% or 0.0385
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Using the bond price formula and the available values, we calculate the coupon rate to be,
1065 = x * [( 1 - (1+0.0385)^-33) / 0.0385] + 1000 / (1+0.0385)^33
1065 = x * (18.50739407) + 287.4653284
1065 - 287.4653284 = x * 18.50739407
777.5346716 / 18.50739407 = x
x = 42.012 rounded off to $42.01
If the semi annual coupon payment is $42.01, the annual coupon payment will be 42.01 * 2 = $84.02
The coupon rate on bonds is = 84.02 / 1000
Coupon rate = 0.08402 or 8.402%

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable overhead 0.3 hours $5.70 per hour
The company used 2,460 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $13,331.
To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Actual rate= 13,331/2,460= $5.42
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (5.7 - 5.42)*2,460

Investment in human capital is very similar to investing in physical capital. True or false? Explain your answer.
Answers
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
This statement is true because investing in human capital and physical capital has the similarity that these assets will lead the organization to carry out its processes, achieve its objectives and goals, and generate liquidity, therefore the similarity is in the importance of capital for the organization.
Human capital can be more difficult to measure, as it is intangible, and physical capital is easier to measure and analyze what the return provides for organizational activities.
However, there are ways to measure how human capital positively impacts the company, so it is necessary to have an effective management that provides the best investment of the ideal human and physical capital for your needs.

Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to "get things under control." Upon reviewing the plant’s income statement, Ms. Dunn has concluded that the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following standard cost per swimming pool:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price
or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 3.6 pounds $

During June the plant produced 3,000 pools and incurred the following costs:
Purchased 15,800 pounds of materials at a cost of $2.45 per pound.
Used 10,600 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.)
Worked 2,100 direct labor-hours at a cost of $6.30 per hour.
Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $3,000 for the month. A total of 1,200 machine-hours was recorded.
It is the company’s policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis.
Required:
1. Compute the following variances for June:
a. Materials price and quantity variances.
b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.
c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances.
2. Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month.
Answers
Answer:
1 a. Materials price and quantity variances.
Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) * Actual Quantity purchased
= ($2.45 - $2) * 15,800
= $0.45 * 15,800
= $7110 (Unfavorable)
Materials Quantity variance = (Actual Quantity used - Standard Quantity allowed) * Standard price
(10600 - 3000 * 3.6) * $2
= (10,600 - 10,800) * $2
= 200 * $2
= 400 (Favorable)
b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.
Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate) * Actual hours
= (6.30 - 6.6) * 2,100
= 0.3 * 2,100
= 630 (Favorable)
Labor Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed) * Standard rate
= (2100 - 3000 * 0.5) * 6.6
= (2,100 - 1,500) * 6.6
= 600 * 6.6
= 3960 (Unfavorable)
c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances
Variable overhead rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate * Actual machine hours)
= 3000 - (2.10 * 1200)
= 3,000 - 2,520
= 480 Unfavorable
Variable overhead Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed)* Standard rate
= (1200 - 3000 * 0.3) * 2.10
= (1200 - 900) * 2.10
= 300 * 2.10
= 630 (Unfavorable)

Andrews Corp. ended the year carrying $153,576,000 worth of inventory. Had they sold their entire inventory at their current prices, how much more revenue would it have brought to Andrews Corp.?
Answers
Answer:
$153,576,000
Explanation:
The reason is that the company has sold maximum number of units that it can in the year. If it desires to sell all of its stock then it will have to decrease the cost of the product to increase the demand of the product. The least level of cost that the company can charge will be its finished goods recorded value which is the price at which the company breakevens.
Hence the additional sales would be $153,576,000 which is the carrying worth of inventory.
A project will reduce costs by $38,500 but increase depreciation by $18,300. What is the operating cash flow if the tax rate is 35 percent?
Answers
Answer:
$31,430
Explanation:
A project will reduce costs by $38,500
The project will have an increased depreciation of $18,300
The tax rate is 35%
= 35/100
= 0.35
Therefore, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows
Operating cash flow= reduction in project cost×(1-tax rate)+(increase in the depreciation amount ×tax rate)
= $38,500×(1-0.35)+($18,300×0.35)
= $38,500×0.65+6,405
= $25,025+$6,405
= $31,430
Hence the operating cash flow is $31,430
Aakash has a liability of 6000 due in four years. This liability will be met with payments of A in two years and B in six years. Aakash is employing a full immunization strategy using an annual effective interest rate of 5%. Calculate ∣∣A−B∣∣.
Answers
Answer:
∣A−B∣ = 586.411
Explanation:
The effective interest rate is 0.05 so at the end of a year total amount will be 1.05 multiplied by principal
Liability = 6,000 ÷ 1.05^4 = Asset
Therefore
6,000 ÷ 1.05^4 = (A ÷ 1.05^2) + (B ÷ 1.05^6) (equation 1)
Multiply through by 1.05^6
6000(1.05^2) = A(1.05^4) + B
B = 6000(1.05^2) - A(1.05^4) (equation 2)
Finding differential from equation 1
4= 2((A ÷ 1.05^2) ÷ (6000 ÷ 1.05^4)) + 6(B ÷ 1.05^6) ÷ (6000 ÷ 1.05^4))
4(6000 ÷ 1.05^4) = 2(A ÷ 1.05^2) +6 (B ÷ 1.05^6)
Multiply through by 1.05^6
4(6000 ÷ 1.05^2) = 2(A ÷ 1.05^4) + 6B
Substitute value of B from equation 2
4(6000 ÷ 1.05^2) = 2(A ÷ 1.05^4) + 6 *6000(1.05^2) - 6*A(1.05^4)
A= 2721.0884
Substitute A in equation 2
B = 6000(1.05^2) - 2721.0884(1.05^4)
B= 3307.5
∣A−B∣ = |2721.0884 - 3307.5|
∣A−B∣ = 586.411

Assume the annual retention rate for a cell phone subscriber is 70 percent and the customer generates $300 per year in profit. Assuming an annual discount rate of 8 percent, compute the value of a customer.
Answers
Answer:
The value of a customer is $193.2.
Explanation:
The value of the customer can be calculated by considering the profit they generate, retention rate, and the discount.
Value of a customer = Profit per year * Retention rate * (1 - discount)
Value of a customer = 300 * 0.7 * (1 - 0.08)
Value of a customer = 300 * 0.7 * 0.92
Value of a customer = 193.2
Thus, the value of a customer is $193.2.
Copy equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $36,600 that has an estimated residual value of $3,300 and an estimated useful life of 5 years.

Determine the depreciation rate. $ per copy c. Determine the units-of-output depreciation for the year. $
Answers
Answer:
a. $33,300
b. $0.03 per copy
c. $7,560
Explanation:
Units of Output = (Cost - Residual Value) × ( Period`s Production / Total Expected Production)
Depreciable Cost = Cost - Residual Value
= $36,600 - $3,300
= $33,300
Depreciation Rate = Depreciable cost ÷ Expected Production
= $33,300 ÷ 1,110,000 copies
= $0.03 per copy
Depreciation for the year = Depreciation Rate × Period`s Production
= $0.03 × 252,000 copies
= $7,560

Given money demand, by how much would the Moola central bank need to change the money supply to close the output gap?
Answers
Answer:
A. 5%
B. $20
C.-$20
D. $100 increase
E.$2
Explanation:
a. Calculation for the equilibrium interest rate in Moola
When we look at the table we would actually see that Money supply amount of $500 equal the Money demand amount of $500 which means that the equilibrium interest rate will be 5 percent.
b. The level of investment at the equilibrium interest rate.
Since we have 5% as the equilibrium interest rate which means that the investment at the equilibrium interest rate will be $20.
c. If we look at table we are going to see that the potential GDP of the amount of $330 and the actual GDP of the amount of $350 are beside the interest rate of 5 percent and we could as well see that actual GDP is lower than potential GDP which means that there is negative recessionary GDP gap.
Hence,
Recessionary GDP gap= Actual GDP - Potential GDP
Recessional GDP gap=Actual GDP $330- Potential GDP=-$20
Therefore-$20 will be the recessionary GDP gap.
d. In order for us to eliminate the recessionary gap, so that actual GDP amount can equal potential GDP , this means we have to increase the money supply to the amount of $600 which will inturn lead to an increase of $100
e. Calculation for the expenditure multiplier,
Expenditure multiplier=(Potential GDP $350-Actual GDP $330)/($20-$10)
Expenditure multiplier=$20/10
Expenditure multiplier=$2
Therefore the Expenditure multiplier will be $2
The question is incomplete as the table is not given.
In economics, demand and supply are the most important factors for any business to analyze the market. There is an inverse relationship between demand and supply. If the demand is high and supply is low then there will be higher prices of the goods.
The Moola central bank needs to change the supply of money by increasing $100 to close the output gap.
Reason:
In order to make the actual GDP amount to be equal to the potential GDP, that means by increasing the money supply of $600 will give the effect of $100 for covering the gap.

The term crowding-out effect refers to a situation in which a government _______________ results in ______________ interest rates, causing ______________ in private spending on investment and consumer durables.
Answers
Answer: Deficit; higher; a decrease
Explanation:
The term crowding-out effect refers to a situation in which a government deficit results in higher interest rates, causing a decrease in private spending on investment and consumer durables.
The Crowding-out effect is what happens when a Government increases its spending past its revenues and gets a budget deficit. In other to balance its books therefore it will borrow heavily.
If the Government is such a large one like the American Government or the British Government, the borrowing might be so large that it will have the effect of reducing the amount of loanable funds in the market thereby increasing the interest rates due to a reduced supply of loanable funds.
As there are now increased interest rates, it will be more expensive for companies to borrow to spend on investment or for consumers to spend on durables. It will have the effect of crowding out the private sector.

Suppose that it could be demonstrated that a particular tariff on goods from developing countries would transfer benefits from rich Americans to poor Americans and increase total US social welfare. Why might it still be bad from a global social welfare perspective?
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
Even if tariffs on developing countries were to increase and better the welfare of poor Americans, increasing social welfare of Americans in general , it would still have a negative welfare impact globally since it would affect developing countries. Developing countries are poorer countries compared to the US, and if they are not able to export their goods to the US(a developed country) because of high tariffs, it would have a multiplier effect on the countries' economy and generally affect the welfare of individuals(even poorer people) in these countries consequently affecting global welfare.
Kennywood Inc., a manufacturing firm, is able to produce 1,500 pairs of pants per hour, at maximum efficiency. There are three eight−hour shifts each day. Due to unavoidable operating interruptions, production averages 850 units per hour. The plant actually operates only 28 days per month. Based on the current budget, Kennywood estimates that it will be able to sell only 504,000 units due to the entry of a competitor with aggressive marketing capabilities. But the demand is unlikely to be affected in future and will be around 516,000. Assume the month has 30 days. What is the theoretical capacity for the month?
Answers
Answer:
1,080,000 units
Explanation:
Given the below information;
Theoretical capacity per hour = 1,500 units per hour
Hours per shift = 8 hours
Number of shift in each day = 3
Number of days per month = 30
Theoretical capacity for the month
= Theoretical capacity per hour × number of shift per day × hours per shift/day × number of days in a month
= 1,500 × 3 × 8 × 30
= 1,080,000 units
