Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium. In a short span of time, there is a sharp rise in the stock market, an increase in government purchases, an increase in the money supply and a decline in the value of the dollar. In the short run a. the price level and real GDP will both rise. b. the price level and real GDP will both fall. c. neither the price leave nor real GDP will change. d. All of the above are possible.

Answers

Answer:

All of the above are possible.

Explanation:

Discussions here center on equilibrium of an economy in a long run, and here after the government activities, their is a decline in dollar value; therefore in the short run, the price level and real GDP will both rise in as much as the price level and real GDP will also both fall. It is also gathered that neither the price leave nor real GDP will change.

The transition from the short run to the long run may be done by considering some short run equilibrium that is also a long run equilibrium as to supply and demand, then comparing that state against a new short run and long run equilibrium state from a change that disturbs equilibrium, say in the sales tax rate, tracing out the short run adjustment first, then the long run adjustment.

C. a credit to Cash of $ 137 comma 750. D. a credit to Notes Payable for $ 95 comma 000.

Answers

Answer:

Option A, a debit to Interest Expense for $ 17 comma 100 is correct

Explanation:

The principal amount on 1st January 2021 needs to be established since that would be the amount left after 2018,2019,2020 principals have been repaid

Principal at 1st January 2021=$475,000-($95,000*3)=$190000

Interest on principal in 2021=$190000 *9%=$17100

Total repayment in 2021=principal plus interest=$95,000+$17,100=$ 112,100.00  

The $95,000 would be a debit to notes payable not credit hence option is wrong.

Only option A,a debit of $17,100 to interest expense is correct

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Assume you can invest money at a 14 percent rate of return. How much money must be invested now to be able to withdraw $5,000 from this investment at the end of each year for eight years, the first withdrawal occurring one year from now

Answers

Answer:

the original amount invested = $285,714.29

Explanation:

Let original amount invested be x

Amount to be withdrawn per year = $5,000

Total number of years = 8

Total amount to be withdrawn = 5,000 × 8 = $40,000

Next, we are told that 14% return on x is realized,

∴ 14% return on x = $40,000

0.14 × x = 40,000

x = 40,000 ÷ 0.14 = $285,714.29

Therefore, the original amount invested = $285,714.29

You can repair your furnace for $500 and it will last 5 more years, but your heating bills will cost you about $1500 per year. Alternatively, a new furnace can be installed for $3000 that will reduce your annual heating bill to $1200. Suppose you sell the house in 5 years and receive an additional $1000 in the sales price of your home (salvage value) because of having a fairly new furnace. Should you replace it? Use a 5-year analysis period and a MARR of 5%

Answers

Answer:

By present value old furnace should not be replaced, since  the new furnace costs more.

Explanation:

Solution

For the old furnace

Present value = - 500 - 1500 = (1 +i)^n-1/i (1+i)n

= - 500-1500 * 1.05^⁵/0.05 * 1.05^⁵

= -$6994.215

Now,

For the new furnace

The present value = - 3000 - 1200 *  1.05^⁵ - 1/0.05 * 1.05^⁵ + 1000/ (1.05)⁵

= -$7411.845

Therefore, As the new furnace costs more by present value old furnace should not be replaced

Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A

Answers

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Correlation r = 0.9,

Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,

Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3

The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula

Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB

Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3

Hedge ratio = 0.6

Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.

Answer:

Equivalent Units

Material cost = 26,560

Conversion Cost= 25,540

Explanation:

We would assume the company uses  weighted average method of valuation.

Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.

Equivalent units = Degree of completion (%) × Number of units

The company did not write-off any uncollectible accounts. It estimates that it will be unable to collect 1% of revenue on account. What is the net realizable value of receivables that will be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 1

Answers

Answer:

$18,195

Explanation:

The computation of the net realizable value is shown below:

As we know that

Net Realizable Value of Receivables =  Ending Accounts Receivable - Estimated Uncollectibles  amount

where,

Ending balance of Accounts Receivable is

= Revenue on Account - Accounts collected

= $90,500 - $71,400

= $191,00

And,

Estimated Uncollectibles i.e  Bad debt Expense is

= Revenue on Account × given percentage

= $90,500 × 1%

= $905

So, the net realizable value is

= $19,100 - $905

= $18,195

We simply applied the above formula

Your aunt is about to retire, and she wants to sell some of her stock and buy an annuity that will provide her with income of $53,000 per year for 30 years, beginning a year from today. The going rate on such annuities is 7.25%. How much would it cost her to buy such an annuity today

Answers

Answer:

Present Value= $641,494.12

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $53,000 per year

Number of years= 30 years

Interest rate= 7.25%

First, we need to calculate the final value of the annuity:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual flow

FV= {53,000*[(1.0725^30)-1]} / 0.0725

FV= $5,237,351.32

Now, we can determine the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 5,237,351.32/ (1.0725^30)

PV= $641,494.12

Crowl Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $793,800 that would have a 9-year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $133,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $21,200. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $88,200. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to
a. 5.80%
b. 11.12%
c. 16.72%
d. 5.12%

Answers

Answer:

Simple rate of return is 5.8%

Therefore option (a) is correct option.

Explanation:

It is given that purchase cost = $793800

Company saving per year = $133000

Yielding = $21200

Annual depreciation = $88200

Annual profit = $133000 - $88200 = $44800

Net investment is equal to = $793800 - $21200 = $772600

Simple rate of return [tex]=\frac{44800}{772600}=0.0579[/tex]

= 5.8%

Therefore simple rate of return is 5.8 %

So option (a) is correct.

The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $74,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $19,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $9,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use could be sold now for a salvage value of $31,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine

Answers

Answer:

$7,400 per year

Explanation:

Data provided for computing the annual depreciation expense is here below:-

Automated bottling machine = $74,000

Useful life = 10 years

The calculation of annual depreciation expense is given below:-

Annual depreciation expense = Automated bottling machine ÷ Useful life

= $74,000 ÷ 10

= $7,400 per year

Therefore for computing the annual depreciation expense we simply divide the automated bottling machine by useful life.

The simplest way to determine the if we use the Gordon growth model for determining the company's stock price:

stock price = [dividend x (1 + growth rate)] / (WACC - growth rate)

dividend = $4.25g = 4.4%stock price = $69

WACC - g = [dividend x (1 + g] / price

WACC = {[dividend x (1 + g] / price} + g

WACC = {[$4.25 x (1 + 4.4%] / $69} + 4.4% = 0.1083 or 10.83%

Which of the following statements generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists? a. Increases in the money supply shift aggregate demand to the right. b. In the long run, increases in the money supply increase prices, but not output. c. Recessions are associated with decreases in consumption, investment, and employment. d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.

Answers

Answer:

d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.

Explanation:

Suggesting that the government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists because the process of implementing fiscal policy usually experiences lag as it is being slowed down by the political system (bureaucracy) of checks and balances.

Fiscal policy is the use of government expenditures, revenues and tax policies to influence macroeconomic conditions such as employment, inflation and Aggregate Demand (ADl in a specific country.

The benefits of fiscal policy is that investments, savings and growth is usually influenced in the long-run while it basically influences aggregate demand for goods and services in the short-run.

g On July 1, 2019, Sheffield Corp. issued 9% bonds in the face amount of $12400000, which mature on July 1, 2025. The bonds were issued for $11859948 to yield 10%, resulting in a bond discount of $540052. Sheffield uses the effective-interest method of amortizing bond discount. Interest is payable annually on June 30. At June 30, 2021, Sheffield's unamortized bond discount should be

Answers

Answer:

$393,063

Explanation:

The bond is issued on discount when the issuance price is less than the face value of the bond. The discount is expensed over the bond period until maturity. It is added to the interest expense value to expense it.

Unamortized Discount is the discount balance which has not been expensed or discount balance for outstanding period of the bond to maturity.

Discount Balance = $540,052

Date   Interest Paid  Interest Expense  Amortization Book Value

7/1/19                                                                           11,859,948

Unamortized Discount = Total Discount - Discount amortized

Unamortized Discount = $540,052 - ($69,995 + $76,994)

Unamortized Discount = $393,063

Your bagel shop uses both capital and labor in the production of bagels. In this production process capital and labor are substitutes. If you install a new oven and the marginal product of capital increases, you will:

a. reduce the number of workers you employ
b. increase the number of workers you employ
c. reduce the amount of capital you are using not make any changes since you are already maximizing profit

Answers

Answer:

The answer is option A) reduce the number of workers you employ

Explanation:

Installing a new oven is capital intensive. So, for a business person to incur an additional capital cost to aid the efficiency of production, something has to give.

In this case, where capital and labor are substitutes, installing a new oven will drastically reduce the workload thereby necessitating a reduction in the number of workers.

By implication, the cost of paying wages which is a recurrent expenditure will reduce. In the long run and if the oven is maintained, it will e a very cost effective option.

Installing a new oven also suggests a marginal increment in capital.

elb Company currently manufactures 50,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $67,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $61,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.90 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 50,000 units and buying 50,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier

Answers

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Incremental Cost of Making Product

Variable costs are $2.95 per unit and 50,000 units are to be made. Total Variable Cost is therefore,

= 2.95 * 50,000

= $147,500

Fixed costs associated with the production are$ 67,000 so added tl the variable costs is,

= 147,500 + 67,000

= $214,500

$214,500 is the cost making the product.

Cost of Buying Product

Component can be bought for $3.90 per unit. 50,000 units to be bought gives,

= 50,000 * 3.9

= $195,000

Cost of buying is $195,000

Decision

Company should buy the component as it spends less in buying it than I making it.

Note - Allocated fixed costs were not included in calculation because they will be there regardless of the decision. Hence the term, incremental costs.

Answer:

elb Company

a) Incremental Cost of making 50,000 units:

Variable costs = $2.95 x 50,000 = $147,500

Avoidable fixed costs = $67,000

Total = $214,500

b) Incremental Cost of buying 50,000

Buy-in costs =- $3.90 x 50,000 = $195,000

c) The company should buy this component from the outside supplier.

Explanation:

In make or buy decisions, only variable and avoidable costs are taken into consideration.  Unavoidable fixed costs are sunk costs which must be incurred irrespective of the choice made.

Therefore, the unavoidable allocated fixed costs of $61,500 should not be taken into consideration.  Afterall, no matter the decision, it would still be incurred and allocated.
