Answer:
Average accumulated expenditures for 2021 was: $349,000.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the Average accumulated expenditures for 2021.
Average accumulated expenditures is calculated by adding the weighted average amount of each expenditure which is the product of the weight of each expenditure in a year and the amount of each expenditure. That is;
Weight of each expenditure = Number of relevant months the expenditure is used 2021 / 12 months
Weighted average amount of each expenditure = Weight of each expenditure * The amount of the expenditure
Suppose that when your income increases by $300, your consumption expenditures increases by $240.
Your marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is _________ .
If your MPC was the same as the MPC for the economy as a whole, the expenditure multiplier for the economy would be ______________ .
Thus, a $4 million investment project would increase income by $ _________ million in total.
Answer:
The MPC is 0.8
The multiplier or k is 5
The increase in income would be $20 million.
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of increased disposable income that consumers spend. It is a metric to quantify the induced consumption and how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of increase in income.
MPC is calculated as follows,
MPC = Change in consumer spending / change in income
MPC = 240 / 300
MPC = 0.8 or 80%
To calculate the multiplier, we simply use the following formula,
Multiplier or k = 1 / (1 - MPC)
k = 1 / (1 - 0.8)
k = 5
So, the expenditure multiplier for the economy would be 5.
To calculate the increase in income, we will multiply the investment amount by the expenditure multiplier.
Income increase = 4000000 * 5
Income increase = $20000000 or 20 million
Projectized organizations are especially effective at helping team members to maintain their discipline-specific competencies. Group of answer choices
Answer: False
Explanation:
A projectized organization is a form of organization structure is that is designed such that it is hierarchical and headed by the project manager who is typically involved in every decision that is made regarding the project as he or she is the one that team members report to.
Therefore, projectized organizations are not effective at helping team members to maintain their discipline-specific competencies.

Explanation:
Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $9.1 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.84 million per year for 7 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.94 percent and a cost of equity of 11.49 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .71 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?
Answer:
NPV = $1.22 million
Explanation:
The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.
NPV of an investment:
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
To work oit the NPV we would need to determine the discount rate i.e cost of capital as follows:
Cost of capital -discount rate -
WACC = We×Ke + Wd×Kd
After cost o debt = 5.94× (1-0.4)=3.56
WACC = (0.71×3.56 %) + (0.29×11.49%)=5.86 %
PV of cash inflow = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- annul cash inflow, r- 5.86%, n- 7
PV of cash inflow= 1.84 million × (1- 1.0586^(-7))/0.0586 =10.32
Initial cost = 9.1 million
NPV = 10.32 - 9.1 = 1.22 million
NPV = $1.22 million
Margin on price as a percentage is the expression of how much you mark your product up by to arrive at your retail price. True False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The margin on price refers to a percentage by taking a difference between the gross profit and the selling price
Here gross profit comes by
= Selling price - cost price
Now in the cost price we added some markup percentage i.e most probably equivalent to the retail price
Hence, the given statement is false
Pelican Cove Corporation is trying to decide whether to invest in equipment to manufacture a new product. If the investment project is accepted, sales revenue will increase by $65,000 per year and materials costs will increase by $16,000 per year.

Suppose annual inflation rates in the U.S. and Mexico are expected to be 6% and 80%, respectively, over the next several years. If the current spot rate for the Mexican peso is $.005, then the best estimate of the peso's spot value in 3 years is Group of answer choices $.00276 $.01190 $.00321 $.00102
Answer:
$.00102
Explanation:
The forward peso's spot value in 3 years can be computed using the below formula:
forward exchange rate=current spot rate*(1+US inflation)^3/(1+Mexican inflation)^3
current spot rate=$.005,
US inflation rate is 6%
Mexican inflation rate is 80%
forward exchange rate=$.005,*(1+6%)^3/(1+80%)^3
forward exchange rate(in 3 years)=$0.00102
ane is planning to offer a Groupon for inner tube rentals that she will distribute on hot, sunny, summer days by the river that runs through her town. Based on her past experience with Groupon, she has assigned the following probability distribution to the number of tubes she will rent on a randomly selected day. If Jane would like her expected revenue to be at least $300 per day, what should the Groupon price be? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Probability assigned:|
x 30 60 120 180
P(x) .10 .40 .40 .10
Answer:
Jane
Price of Groupon for a revenue of $300 is:
$3
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected Sales volume:
Number of Tubes x 30 60 120 180
Probability P(x) .10 .40 .40 .10
Expected values 3 24 48 18
Total = 93 tubes
Groupon price = $300/93 = $3.23
b) Jane's price for each Groupon will be the rent revenue per day divided by the expected number of tubes to rent daily. The expected number of tubes is derived by multiplying each expected number of tubes by its probability and then summing up the results.
Let M be the number of units to make and B be the number of units to buy. If it costs $2 to make a unit and $3 to buy a unit and 4000 units are needed, the objective function is
Min 2M + 3B
Min 4000 (M + B)
Max 2M + 3B
Max 8000M + 12000B
Answer:
Min 2M + 3B
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Let us assume M denotes the making units
B denotes the buying units
So,
Making cost per unit = $2
And, the buying cost per unit = $3
And, the total number of units required = 4,000 units
Based on the above information, the objective function is Min 2M + 3B.
This indicates the minimum total cost
Hence, the correct option is A.
Charlie is a strategist who wants to decide on the appropriate strategy to help his firm "go global." Which of the following should Charlie consider while choosing his strategy?A) He must be aware of the fact that despite globalization and the emergence of the Internet, firm geographic location has actually maintained its importance.B) He should rely on his firm's business-level strategy as a clue to possible strategies pursued globally.C) He should remember that he has only one framework at his disposal to make global strategy decisions.D) He must remember that higher levels of control and a lower likelihood of any loss in reputation go along with less investment-intensive foreign entry modes.
Answer: A) He must be aware of the fact that despite globalization and the emergence of the Internet, firm geographic location has actually maintained its importance.
Explanation:
Charlie must consider that despite the fact that the internet and technology have made globalization more accessible, the location of a business remains very important hence the old saying "its all about location location location".
The firm's geographical location has an effect on stakeholders in the company such as customers, employees and suppliers. For the customers, even if the business was to rely on the internet and delivering goods, the location needs to be convenient enough to ship goods from.
The Suppliers as well need to be able to send the goods ordered for in a timely fashion and an improper location can hamper that. Even employees need a place to work in that is conducive for them in terms of logistics and a safe working environment. Charlie should definitely not forget about the importance of location.
seigel co. maintains a defined-benefit pension plan for its employees. at each balance sheet date, seigel should report a pension asset / liability equal to the
Answer: funded status relative to the projected benefit obligation
Explanation:
A defined benefit pension plan is a pension plan type in which the employer promises to pay the worker a lump sum or a pension payment which is based on the earnings history, age and the tenure of service of the worker.
Since Seigel co. maintains a defined-benefit pension plan for its employees. at each balance sheet date, seigel should report a pension asset/liability that will be equal to the funded status relative to the projected benefit obligation.
Data pertaining to a company's joint production for the current period follows
Quantities produced 310 lbs. 260 lbs
Market value at split-off point . $10.2/lb. $20.4/lb
Compute the cost to be allocated to Product L for this period's $792 of joint costs if the value basis is used. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
a. $295.81.
b. $49619.
c. $39600.
d. $2,926.00.
e. $962.19.
Answer: a. $295.81.
Explanation:
Using the value basis would mean that the product's share of the total market value will be used to determine it's share of the cost.
Total Market Value = Product L Market Value + Product M Market Value
= (310 lbs * 10.2) + ( 260 lbs * 20.4)
= 3,162 + 5,304
= $8,466
Product L's share of total market value
= 3,162/8,466
Product L's share of the $792 based on share of total market value
= (3,162/8,466) * 792
= $295.8072
= $295.81

A. Highly complex analytical tools
B. Analysis using numerical tools
C. Obvious objective judgments
D. Readily qualified judgments
Answer: analysis using numerical tools
Explanation:
The main reason for the creation of Antitrust laws was to give power to the government to block some particular mergers and also break up the large firms to smaller ones.
Antitrust regulations would most likely require analysis using numerical tools in order to determine whether or not a merger may enhance competition.
Firms that tend to focus on conducting e-business with other businesses are referred to as having a B2B model.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
B2B model is when companies sell goods or services to other companies instead of a consumer. Also, these transactions can occur through the internet where businesses can generate a contact and make a transaction. Because of this, the statement that says that firms that tend to focus on conducting e-business with other businesses are referred to as having a B2B model is true because this model is about transactions between companies and they can happen through the internet.
A Japan-based company, Sumo Gyms, Inc., issues a 35-year, semi-annual coupon bond, with a ¥300 million par value. The coupon rate is given as 5.90%, and the yield to maturity is 6.70. a. What is the value of the semi-annual coupon on the bond?
Answer:

Explanation:
consider a bond that matures in 10 years it pay9% annual coupons and $100 at maturity is the required annual rate of return on the bond i s 8% then the bond will sell today for
Answer:
Bond Price today = $106.71008 rounded off to $106.71
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 an annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and r or YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 0.09 * 100 = $9
Total periods (n)= 10
r or YTM = 8% or 0.08
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 9 * [( 1 - (1+0.08)^-10) / 0.08] + 100 / (1+0.08)^10
Bond Price = $106.71008 rounded off to $106.71
Your client in the 25% federal income tax bracket lives in a state where his earnings place him in the 6% bracket for state income tax purposes. If he were to purchase a 4% bond issued by a political subdivision of another state, his total tax-equivalent yield would be
Answer:
Slightly more than 5.33%.
Explanation:
In case when the municipal bond owned by an individual i.e. issued is not for interest free tax rate but also it is non tax on that particular state
So here the tax-equivalent yield is
= Purchase bond percentage ÷ (1 - tax rate)
= 0.04 ÷ (1 - 0.25)
= 5.33%
Hence, his total tax-equivalent yield is 5.33% i.e. calculated by applying the above formula
A firm has a long-term debt-equity ratio of .4. Shareholders’ equity is $1 million. Current assets are $200,000, and the current ratio is 2. The only current liabilities are notes payable. What is the total debt ratio?
Answer:
Total debt ratio is 33.33%
Explanation:
A long term debt to equity ratio of 0.4 tells that the value of long term debt is 0.4 or 40% of the value of the equity. If the value of the equity is $1 million, the value of long term debt is,
Long term debt = 0.4 * 1000000 = $400000
A current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. It tells how many current assets are available to satisfy $1 of current liabilities. A current ratio of 2 means that for every $1 of current liability, $2 of current assets are available. Thus, current liabilities are half of current assets. If the value of current assets is $200000, the value of current liabilities is,
Current liabilities = 200000 * 1/2 = $100000
Total liabilities = 400000 + 100000 = $500000
A debt ratio is calculated by dividing the value of total debt or total liabilities by the value of total assets.
Total assets = total liabilities + total equity
Total assets = 500000 + 1000000
Total assets = $1500000 or $1.5 million
Total debt ratio = 500000 / 1500000
Total debt ratio = 1/3 or 0.3333 or 33.33%
Which of the following is NOT a benefit of a social media presence for a brand? Group of answer choices Social media allows companies to have a short-term focus. Social media allows marketers to establish a public voice and presence online. Social media can cost-effectively reinforce other communication activities. Social media can encourage companies to stay innovative and relevant. Social media can be used to build or tap into online communities.
Answer: Social media allows companies to have a short-term focus.
Explanation:
Social Media has made the world way more connected than it was before even with the advent of the Internet. As such, companies were able to leverage on this to improve their brand and popularity by being present on the various social media platforms.
With social media, companies have been able to marketers to establish a public voice and presence online, cost-effectively reinforce other communication activities, build online forums and communities as well as remain relevant in a fast changing world.
Companies having a short term focus as a result of social media is not a benefit of social media. A company should always think long term and even social media can help them achieve long term growth if long term marketing plans are integrated with social media marketing.

obligations not expected to be paid within the longer of one year or the company's operating cycle are reported as
Answer:
Long term liabilities.
Explanation:
This can be easily or mostly be used in companies and also firms. In most cases they are been tagged a non-current liability.
They are generally defined to be obligations that are not been settled for/paid off in the current year or accounting period. Therefore, debts of this kind are not due within a year. Dept of this kind ranges from notes payable to bonds payable, also mortgages and are also seen as leases in a company settings.
In as much as this is not good for a company's financial health, investors and creditors see how the company is financed through this. Current obligations are seen to be more risky than non-current debts because they will need to be paid sooner.

In the Vaughn Manufacturing, indirect labor is budgeted for $108000 and factory supervision is budgeted for $36000 at normal capacity of 160000 direct labor hours. If 170000 direct labor hours are worked, flexible budget total for these costs is:
Answer:Flexible budget =$ 150,750
Explanation:
Variable overhead rate = $108,000 / 160000 = $ 0.675 per hour
(budgeted supervision cost) Fixed overhead = $ 36,000
Flexible budget = Variable over head rate x direct labour + budgeted supervision cost (fixed overhead)
0.675 x 170,000+ 36,000
= 114,750+36,000
=$ 150,750
According to the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis, this fate has befallen many developing countries given the general decline in commodity prices in relation to the price of manufactured goods.A) TrueB) False
Answer: True
Explanation;
Generally, manufactured goods cost more than the commodity goods that they were manufactured from due to the value that has been added to them. This is what the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis argues, that commodity prices decline overtime in relation to manufacturing good prices.
This is a fate that has befallen many developing countries as many of them export commodity goods to developed countries who then add value to them, turning them into manufactured goods and then selling them back to developing countries at a higher price thereby negatively affecting their balance of trade.
After analyzing its own resources and unique abilities, a company is now trying to determine what group of customers it can satisfy with a good or service. It is in the process of choosing a
Answer: target market
Explanation: A target market is simply a group of people whose needs and preferences match the product range of a company and to whom those products are marketed, often times actively. As such, when the resources and unique abilities of a firm has been analysed, and is now in the process of determining what group of customers it can satisfy with a good or service, then it is in the process of choosing a target market.
A registered representative receives an order from a corporate issuer to buy 500,000 shares of that issuer's stock in the market, 5 minutes prior to market close. The registered representative should:
Answer: C. inform the company that this is a possible market manipulation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Explanation:
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is meant to govern the actions of issuers and their affiliates engaging in trade in the open market. One reason for this is to prevent stock price manipulation.
SEC Act Rule 10b-18 might rule this transaction as a manipulative activity because it goes against the section of it that states that securities cannot be traded within 10 minutes of the stock market closing if that stock is an actively traded one. If it is not then the trade should not be executed within 30 minutes of market close.
The client should therefore be informed that by placing an order 5 minutes before close they could run afoul of this Act because buying such huge amounts at such a time could influence the price upwards for when the market reopens.
Suppose that the income tax rate is reduced by the federal government and simultaneously a recession hits causing the economy to move below its potential output, this will:
Answer:
Raise both the cyclical and structural deficits
Explanation:
During economic downturn the cyclical deficit will rise, leading to rise in already structural deficit of federal government. The Structural deficit arises when government continue to spend more than its revenue, and thus cyclical deficit will add upward pressure in structural deficit.
Therefore there will be Raise in both the cyclical and structural deficits
Salah’s net income for the year ended December 31, Year 2 was $191,000. Information from Salah’s comparative balance sheets is given below. Compute the cash paid for dividends during Year 2. At December 31 Year 2 Year 1 Common Stock, $5 par value $ 506,000 $ 455,400 Paid-in capital in excess of par 954,000 858,400 Retained earnings 694,000 587,400
Answer:
Cash Dividends - Year 2 = $84400
Explanation:
The net income of the business is usually appropriated or used for two purposes at the end of the year. It is either used to pay dividends or is retained in the business and is added to the retained earnings or both.
Thus, to calculate the dividends paid by the business in a particular year, we can calculate the change in retained earnings and deduct it from the net income.
Change in retained earnings = Ending balance of retained earnings - Beginning balance of retained earnings
Change in retained earnings = 694000 - 587400
Change in retained earnings = $106600
Thus, out of the net income of $191000, $106600 were transferred to retained earnings. So, the amount of dividends paid for the year is,
Cash Dividends - Year 2 = 191000 - 106600 = $84400
On January 31, 2021, B Corp. issued $650,000 face value, 11% bonds for $650,000 cash. The bonds are dated December 31, 2020, and mature on December 31, 2030. Interest will be paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. What amount of accrued interest payable should B report in its September 30, 2021, balance sheet
Answer:
The amount of accrued interest payable that B should report in its September 30, 2021, balance sheet is $ 23,833.
Explanation:
Prepare a Bond Amortization Schedule using the data :
Hint : First find the Yield to Maturity
N = 10
PV = $650,000
Pmt = ($650,000 × 11%) ÷ 2 = - $35,750
P/ yr = 2
FV = - $650,000
YTM = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the YTM is 11.64%.
By the end of September 30, 2021, 8 months` interest will have expired.Thus the amortization schedule should accrue interest for 8 months as follows :
Interest $ 23,833 (debit)
Investment in Bond $ 23,833 (credit)
Interest Calculation = $ 35,750 × 8 / 12
= $ 23,833
