11. Garth Corporation sells a single product. If the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10% and fixed expenses do not change, then: A. profit will go up 10% B. profit will go up more than 10% C. profit will go down by less than 10% D. profit will not change
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Profit = Revenue - cost
Cost = fixed cost + variable cost
if variable cost increases by 10%, cost would increase by 10%.
Revenue also increases by 10%
So, the increase in revenue would be cancelled by the increase in cost and profit would not change
The Big Five Personality refers to the structures and propensities of people that explain their patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior. Although there are literally thousands of traits that can be used to describe an individual's personality, most traits reflect one of five broad dimensions or factors of personality: conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness to experience, and extraversion. It is especially useful for managers to understand the personality traits of their employees since these traits often have important implications for workplace attitudes and behaviors, such as performance and commitment. The following activity takes you through the thought process of a manager trying to hire a new sales associate based on personality assessments of the candidates. Imagine that you are a midlevel manager at a paper company and you are in the process of hiring a new sales associate. So far, you have scheduled interviews with three potential candidates. You just concluded your first interview and want to spend some time reflecting on the notes you took. In particular, you want to make sure that you have a solid grasp of each candidate's personality traits since you know how important that can be on the job. Read through the notes and classify them according to the Big Five Taxonomy of personality.

The big five taxonomy of personality refers to the "Big five" personality traits believed to be the traits on which many different personalities of people revolve. They include:extraversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism.
In the example above, based on the manager's interview with Cynthia. The manager can understand her personality by classifying using the big five personality traits based on information gathered from her and recommendations:
Cynthia took initiative: this falls under openness which are people who are creative and adventurous and like to learn new things
Cynthia could be hardworking: this falls under conscientiousness characterized by people who are generally organized and careful about things
Cynthia follows procedures: this falls under agreeableness which is the tendency to be trust and be cooperative
Cynthia seemed nervous: this falls under neuroticism which is the tendency for one to be emotionally unstable and usually have mood swings, anxiety or be sad
Cynthia was described as cold: this is also fall under neuroticism as Cynthia could be depressed

Barb bought a house with 20% down and the rest financed by a 30-year mortgage with monthly payments calculated at a nominal annual rate of interest 8.4% compounded monthly. She notices that one-third of the way through the mortgage she will still owe 200,000. Determine the purchase price of the house.
Answer:
$282,706
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the purchase price of the house
First step
In order for us to determine the purchase price of the house we would be using TVM Calculation to find the PMT
Hence,
PMT =
PV = 200,000
FV = 0
N = 240
I = 0.084/12
Thus,PMT = $1,723.01
The Second step will be to Calculate the Loan Amount Using TVM Calculation,
PV =
FV = 0
PMT = -1,723.01
N = 360
I = 0.084/12
Thus, PV = $226,164.98
Last step is to Determine the purchase price of the house
Using this formula
Purchase price=PV/(100%-20% down)
Let plug in the formula
Purchase price =226,164.98/(0.80)
Purchase price = $282,706
Therefore the purchase price of the house will be $282,706
A bond issue with a face amount of $1,200,000 bears interest at the rate of 9%. The current market rate of interest is 10%. These bonds will sell at a price that is:
Answer: The selling price of the bond will be less than $1,200,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a bond issue with a face amount of $1,200,000 bears interest at the rate of 9% and that the current market rate of interest is 10%.
Since the market rate is 10% which is higher than coupon rate of 9%, this means that the market price for the bond will be smaller than the bond's face value.
Therefore, the selling price of the bond will be less than $1,200,000.

Assume that the firm is 40% financed by debt and 60% financed by equity. Its cost of debt is 8% and the cost of equity is 15%. The tax rate is 40%. What is the firm’s WACC?
Answer:
10.92%
Explanation:
A firm is 40% financed by debt
= 40/100
= 0.40
The firm is also 60% financed by equity
= 60/100
= 0.60
Its cost of debt is 8%
=8/100
=0.08
Cost of equity is 15%
= 15/100
= 0.15
Tax rate is 40%
= 40/100
= 0.40
Therefore, the firm's WACC can be calculated as follows
WACC= 0.40×0.08×(1-0.40) + 0.60×0.15
= 0.032×0.6 + 0.09
= 0.0192 + 0.09
= 0.1092×100
= 10.92%
Hence the firm's WACC is 10.92%

Horton Corporation is preparing a bank reconciliation and has identified the following potential reconciling items. Indicate how each would be reported on a bank reconciliation.a. Deposit in transit $5,500. b. Bank service charges $25. c. Interest credited to Horton’s account $31. d. Outstanding checks $7,422. e. NSF check returned $377.
Answer:
a. Deposit in transit $5,500.
This is added to the balance on the bank statement because it has already been added to the books of the company but it is yet to be processed by the bank.
b. Bank service charges $25.
Deducted from the book balance because the bank has already deducted this charge from the company's bank account so the company needs to do the same in its books.
c. Interest credited to Horton’s account $31.
Added to the book balance because this is interest earned on the account from the bank. The bank has therefore already added it to the company's bank account and so the company needs to add it to their books.
d. Outstanding checks $7,422.
Deducted from the balance on the bank statement because the company issued a check from their account but it has not be debited from the bank account yet but has been recorded in the books.
e. NSF check returned $377.
Deducted from the book balance.
At an annual effective interest rate of 6.3%, an annuity immediate with 4N level annual payments of 1,000 has a present value of 14,113. Determine the fraction of the total present value represented by the first set of N payments and the third set of N payments combined.
Answer:
the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 9 payments (N) = 47.57% of the annuity's present value.
the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 27 payments (3N) = 90.86% of the annuity's present value.
Explanation:
we must use the present value of an annuity formula:
PV = annual payment x annuity factor
14,113 = 1,000 x annuity factor
annuity factor = 14,113 / 1,000 = 14.133
we know that the interest rate is 6.3%, now using an annuity calculator we can determine that the total number of periods is 36. The exact factor is 14.11322, but we can round to 14.113
the first set would represent 36/4 = 9 years
the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 9 payments (N) = PV = 1,000 x 6.71376 (PV annuity factor, 6.3%, 9 periods) = 6,713.76. This corresponds to 6,713.76 / 14,113 = 47.57% of the annuity's present value.
the % of the present value that corresponds to the first 27 payments (3N) = PV = 1,000 x 12.82329 (PV annuity factor, 6.3%, 27 periods) = 12,823.29. This corresponds to 12,823.29 / 14,113 = 90.86% of the annuity's present value.

One month later, the listed spot price and futures prices were 95 and 94.4, respectively. If you were to liquidate your position, your profits would be a Group of answer choices $125 profit. $1,060.50 loss. None of the options are correct. $125 loss. $1,062.50 profit.
Answer:
None of the options are correct.
Explanation:
We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.
= $95,125 - $95,000
= $125
The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.
We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.
= $94,125 - $95,187.50
= -$1,062.50
Therefore, Net profits is;
= $125 - $1,062.50
= -$937.50

On July 9, Mifflin Company receives an $8,500, 90-day, 8% note from customer Payton Summers as payment on account. Compute the amount due at maturity for the note and interest. (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer:
$8,670 and $170
Explanation:
The computation of the amount due at the time of maturity and the interest is shown below:
For interest, it is
= Received amount × rate of interest × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year
= $8,500 × 8% × 90 ÷ 360 days
= $170
And, the amount due at the time of maturity of the note is
= Received amount + interest
= $8,500 + $170
= $8,670
Consider two bonds, a 3-year bond paying an annual coupon of 5%, and a 20-year bond, also with an annual coupon of 5%. Both bonds currently sell at par value. Now suppose that interest rates rise and the yield to maturity of the two bonds increases to 8%. a. What is the new price of the 3-year bond?
Answer:
$922.69
Explanation:
The price of the 3-year bond can be computed using the below bond price formula:
Price=face value/(1+r)^n+coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r
face value is $1000
r is the new interest rate of 8%
n is the number of annual coupons the bond would pay which is 3
coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1000*5%=$50
price=1000/(1+8%)^3+50*(1-(1+8%)^-3)/8%
price of 3-year bond=$922.69
Would activity-based costing or activity-based management be useful for the airport store? Why or why not?
Answer with Explanation:
Activity based costing will not be useful because the airport store has hundreds of items which share a indirect costs like rentals, warehouse expenses, delivery costs, electricity, maintenance costs, etc.
The reason why its use in the case of airport store is not beneficial is as under:
Time Consuming: All indirect costs can't be absorbed in hundreds of product and would take more than one month to allocate indirect costs to each product. List of Restricted Product Price: Another reason is that the airport stores are given a price schedule which restrict selling of products at higher costs. This means if the contribution arising from the product then we can't change its price as it is restricted by the airport authorities.The indirect cost remains fixed and is not changing in this case which means it is not determinable which product consumes greater share of indirect cost as sometimes shelves will be not 100% occupied hence determining cost drivers for each cost pool would be a difficult task.Purpose is Lost: The purpose of ABC is to allocate the indirect costs to each product which apportioned on a fairer basis and lower the indirect cost by lowering the usage of cost drivers. The indirect costs can't be lowered as maintenance cost is fixed, electricity consumption remains the same, rentals are also fixed, this means that the purpose of allocation and controlling of cost drivers is lost.Suitable for Manufacturers not for Stores: The manufacturer's products deal with dozens of costs that are variable if the cost driver changes. The cost driver changes are not changing the indirect cost in the case of airport store which means that if a product which occupied 1 shelve is now occupying 2 shelves is not increasing the rental cost.Hence ABC is not suitable for airport store.

Standard costs are used in companies for a variety of reasons. Which of the following is NOT one of the benefits of using standard costs?
a. to indicate where changes in technology and machinery need to be made
b. to estimate the cost of inventory
c. to plan direct materials, direct labor, and variable factory overhead
d. to control costs
Answer:
a. to indicate where changes in technology and machinery need to be made.
Explanation:
Standard cost in business management refers to the amount of money a product is supposed to cost in manufacturing it. It is a management tool that can be used to measure efficiency in the level of output or production of goods and services at a specific period of time.
In Financial accounting, the difference between the actual cost of each unit of a product and its standard cost is referred to as variance. In order to determine the standard cost of a product, the expected quantity of the product is multiplied by an expected price.
Standard costs are used in companies for a variety of reasons such as;
1. Standard costs are used to estimate the cost of inventory.
2. Standard costs are used to plan direct materials, direct labor, and variable factory overhead.
3. Standard costs are used to control costs.
However, standard costs cannot be used to indicate where changes in technology and machinery need to be made rather an actual cost should be used.
Additionally, the standard cost of each unit of a product manufactured in a business firm is categorized into two (2) and these are;
1. Price standard.
2. Quantity standard.
