ABC uses the conventional retail method to determine its ending inventory at cost. Assume the beginning inventory at cost (retail) were $393,500 ($594,000), purchases during the current year at cost (retail) were $3,408,000 ($5,193,600), freight-in on these purchases totaled $159,500, sales during the current year totaled $4,666,000, and net markups were $414,000. What is the ending inventory value at cost
Answer:Ending Inventory at Cost= $981,248.40
Explanation:
Cost Retail
Beginning inventory $393,500 $594,000
purchases $3,408,000 $5,193,600
freight in $159,500,
net markups $414,000
Total $3,961,000 $6,201,600
Sales $4,666,000
Ending Inventory at Retail:=(Beginning inventory + purchases +net markups - Sales during the current year
594,000 + $5,193,600 + $414,000- $4,666,000, = $1,535,600
Cost to Retail Ratio:( Beginning inventory + purchases+freight in)/ (Beginning inventory + purchases +net markups )
=($393,500 + $3,408,000 +$159,500,) ÷ (594,000 + $5,193,600 + $414,000) =$3,961,000/$6, 201, 600= 0.638= 0.639
Ending Inventory at Cost: Ending Inventory at Retail x Cost to Retail Ratio
$1,535,600 x 0.639 = $981,248.40
Why might an economist favor activist policies in developed countries and laissez-faire policies in developing countries
Answer:
One of the main economic issues in developing countries is rampant corruption or extremely inefficient government institutions. This means that less government intervention is always better in developing countries.
On the other hand, in developed countries, the checks and balances system exists within government institutions and even though corruption may exist, it is not as widely spread. The most severe economic problem in developed countries is inequality and huge economic actors. This is why activist policies may be necessary in developed countries, at least in certain economic sectors.
Company manufactures two products. Both products have the same sales price, and the volume of sales is equivalent. However, due to the difference in production processes, Product A has higher variable costs and Product B has higher fixed costs. Management is considering dropping Product B because that product line has an operating loss.
Total Product A Product B
Sales Revenue $140,000 $70,000 $70,000
Variable Costs 124,250 63,500 60,750
Contribution Margin 15,750 6,500 9,250
Fixed Costs 30,000 3,000 27,000
Operating Income/(Loss) $(14,250) $3,500 $ (17,750)
Required:
a. If fixed costs cannot be avoided, should Richardson drop Product B? Why or why not?
b. If 50% of Product B's fixed costs are avoidable, should Richardson drop Product B? Why or why not?
Answer:
a. No - Because Richardson will be worse off than what he was before.
b. Yes - Because Richardson will be better off than what he was before.
Explanation:
a. Analysis of Operating Income is Richardson drop Product B
Sales Revenue $70,000
Less Variable Costs ($63,500)
Contribution $6,500
Fixed Costs ($30,000)
Total Operating Income ($23,500)
Dropping Product B will result in Total Operating Loss of $23,500. This means Richardson will be worse off than what he was before. He should not drop the product in this case.
b. Analysis of Operating Income is Richardson drop Product B
Sales Revenue $70,000
Less Variable Costs ($63,500)
Contribution $6,500
Fixed Costs ($15,000)
Total Operating Income ($8,500)
Dropping Product B will result in Total Operating Loss of $8,500. This means Richardson will be better off than what he was before. He should drop the product in this case.
An increase in input prices causes:___________
a) the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price downward.
b) the market supply to shift outward, leading to a higher equilibrium price.
c) the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher.
d) the supply curve to decrease and the demand curve to decrease.
Answer: the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher.
Explanation:
An increase in input prices will result into a rise in the production costs. This will result in a leftward shift of the supply curve.
Therefore, the market supply will shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher. This simply means that there will be lesser supply of the product and hence, increase in price.
Rinaldo wants to know how you recorded the part cash and part credit purchase that occurred during the beginning of May in Sage 50. Rinaldo asks which of the following shows the correct series of actions to open a Sage 50 window that must be used to record the above transaction:
Inventory & Services → Enter Bills → New Bill
Inventory & Services → Purchase Invoice → New Invoice
Vendors & Purchases → Enter Bills → New Bill
Vendors & Purchases → Purchase Invoice → New Invoice
Answer:
Vendors & Purchases → Enter Bills → New Bill
Explanation:
To record the part cash and part credit entry in Sage 50, we will use the following series.
Vendors & Purchases → Enter Bills → New Bill

Ultimate Butter Popcorn issues 5%, 15-year bonds with a face amount of $58,000. The market interest rate for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 5%. Interest is paid semiannually. At what price will the bonds issue
Answer:
So, the bonds will issue at par which means that they will issue at their face value of $58000
Explanation:
If the coupon rate paid by the bond and the market interest rates are same, the bonds are always issued at par. We can check this through the following.
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) = 0.05 * 1/2 * 58000 = $1450
Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30
r or YTM = 5% * 1/2 = 2.5% or 0.025
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 1450 * [( 1 - (1+0.025)^-30) / 0.025] + 58000 / (1+0.025)^30
Bond Price = $58000
On January 1, Parson Freight Company issues 9.0%, 10-year bonds with a par value of $3,400,000. The bonds pay interest semiannually. The market rate of interest is 10.0% and the bond selling price was $3,168,967. The bond issuance should be recorded as:
Answer:
January 1
Cash $3168967 Dr
Discount on Bonds Payable $231033
Bonds Payable $3400000 Cr
Explanation:
The issuance of bond on January 1 is at a discount as the coupon rate paid by the bond is less than the market interest rate. In such case the bond is issued at a lower value than its par/face value. The discount on bonds payable is the difference between the face value and the cash received on issuance.
The entry to record the issues include a debit to cash account as cash is received, a debit to the discount on bonds payable account for the amount of discount and a credit to bonds payable account as liability is created as a result of the issuance of the bonds.
Discount = 3400000 - 3168967 = 231033
The EOQ model assumes inventory: Multiple Choice can be delivered immediately upon order. is sold at a steady rate until it is depleted. will be available just as it is needed for production. is held at a constant level. has seasonal fluctuations.
Answer:
is sold at a steady rate until it is depleted
Explanation:
The EOQ means Economic order quantity that refers to a quantity which the company should purchase for its inventory
In this order quantity, the carrying cost and the ordering cost are equivalent to each other
Also we assume that the demand would remain the same and the inventory should be depleted at a fixed rate unless it reaches to a zero
Hence, the second option is correct

4
lower
Carlos
Deborah
Explanation:
a person has comparative advantage in production if he / she produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people
for carlos
the opportunity cost of producing rye = 6 / 18 = 0.33
the opportunity cost of producing corn = 18 / 6 = 3
for Deborah,
the opportunity cost of producing rye = 7 / 28 = 0.25
the opportunity cost of producing corn = 28 /7 =4
Carlos has a comparative advantage in the production of corn because he produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with Deborah
Deborah has a comparative advantage in the production of rye because he produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with Carlos
A person has absolute advantage in production if he produces more quantity of the product when compared to other people.
Deborah has absolute advantage in the production of both rye and corn
The correct statements will be that
1. Carlos has an absolute advantage in the production of Rye
2. Deborah has an absolute advantage over the production of Corn.
3. Carlos' opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is 3 bushels of rye
4. Deborah's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is 4 bushels of rye.
5. Carlos has a lower opportunity cost of producing corn than Deborah.
6. Deborah has a competitive advantage in the production of Corn.
7. Carlos has a competitive advantage in the production of Rye.

Answer:
Luther Corporation
Current Ratio for 2006 is closest to:
1.1 : 1
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total Current Assets = $144 million
Total Current Liabilities = $132 million
Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
= $144/$132
= 1.1 : 1
b) Luther Corporation's current ratio is a liquidity measure that shows Luther's ability to pay off short-term obligations worth $132 million or those due within one year with its current assets of $144 million. The ratio tells investors and analysts of Luther Corporation how Luther can use its current assets to pay off its current debts. Since Luther's current ratio is higher than 1, it is considered good, depending on the industry average. This means that Luther's current ratio of 1.1 : 1 should not be considered in isolation, but in comparison with other firms in the industry and its performance over a number of years.
If the government wants to minimize the deadweight loss of taxation, which of the following items are good candidates for an excise tax? (select all that apply)A. emergency plumber servicesB. Coca-ColaC. insulinD. food at restaurants
Answer:
A. emergency plumber services and C.insulin.
Explanation:
From the list provided the best candidates for this would be emergency plumber services and insulin. That is because these are items or services that have a high supply but low demand due to the population of customers being a minority. This, therefore, causes market inefficiency which leads to deadweight loss. Other items like Coca-Cola and food mostly stay in equilibrium because products are made depending on the current demand and the customer population is the vast majority.

A firm has a required return of 14.2% and a beta of 1.63. If the risk-free rate is currently 5.4%, what is the expected return to the market? Assume that CAPM is correct.
Answer:
10.8%
Explanation:
Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Beta x ( Expected rate - Risk free rate )
14.2% = 5.4% + 1.63 x ( market rate - 5.4% )
14.2% - 5.4% = 1.63 x ( market rate - 5.4% )
8.8% / 1.63 = market rate - 5.4%
5.4% = market rate - 5.4%
Market rate = 5.4% + 5.4%
Market rate = 10.8%
Market rate = 10.8%

Calculate the effective annual interest rate for the following: a. A 3-month T-bill selling at $97,820 with par value $100,000. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b. A 8% coupon bond selling at par and paying coupons semiannually.
Answer:
A.9.2%
B.8.16%
Explanation:
a. Calculation for the Effective annual rate on three-month T-bill
First step
T-bill =(Par value-Selling amount)/Par value
Let plug in the formula
T-bill =($100,000-$97,820)/$97,820
T-bill =$2,180/$97,820
T-bill =0.02228
Now let calculate for the Effective Annual Interest rate
Effective Annual Interest rate = (1 + 0.02228)^4– 1
Effective Annual Interest rate = (1.02228)^4-1
Effective Annual Interest rate =1.0921-1
Effective Annual Interest rate =0.0921×100
Effective Annual Interest rate=9.2%
B. Calculation for the effective annual interest rate for A 8% coupon bond .
First step
Semi-annual return=8%/2
Semi-annual return=4%
Second step is to calculate for the effective annual interest rate
Using this formula
Effective annual interest rate =(1+Semi-annual return percentage)^2-1
Let plug in the formula
Effective annual interest rate=(1+0.04)^2-1
Effective annual interest rate=(1.04)^2-1
Effective annual interest rate=1.0816-1
Effective annual interest rate=0.0816×100
Effective annual interest rate=8.16%
Therefore the Effective annual rate on three-month T-bill will be 9.2% while that of coupon bond is 8.16%

"A customer who is short 1 ABC Jan 65 Call wishes to create a "short call spread." The second option position that the customer must take is:"
Answer:
long 1 ABC Jan 75 Call
Explanation:
This type of customer (or investor) is bearish about the market, i.e. he/she believes that the stock prices will drop. The investor will try to create a net credit position (the credit spread = $75 - $65). The maximum possible profit is created when the stock price falls below $65, and the maximum possible loss would occur if the price went above $75. This investor is a net seller, since it is a short call spread.

You are in the business of making kombucha tea. Your variable costs to produce each bottle is $1. Your fixed costs are $100,000/year and you expect to sell 300,000 bottles in your first year. How many bottles must you sell at $3/bottle to cover your fixed costs and earn your target profit of $100,000
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 100,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Your variable costs to produce each bottle is $1.
Your fixed costs are $100,000/year.
How many bottles must you sell at $3/bottle to cover your fixed costs and earn your target profit of $100,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (200,000) / (3 - 1)
Break-even point in units= 100,000 units
The number of bottles that must be sold at $3 per bottle to earn a target profit of $100,000 is 200,000 bottles.
Data and Calculations:
Variable cost per bottle = $1
Fixed cost per year = $100,000
Expected sales units in the first year = 300,000 bottles
Selling price per bottle = $3
Target profit = $300,000
Contribution margin per unit = $2 ($3 - $1)

A stock is selling today for $40 per share. At the end of the year, it pays a dividend of $2 per share and sells for $44. a. What is the total rate of return on the stock?
Answer:
The total rate of return on the stock is 14%.
Explanation:
The sources of income from a stock are dividends and increase in its value. Therefore, the total rate of return on stock is calculated by dividing the addition of appreciation in the of the stock and dividends paid by the original stock price.
Therefore, the total rate of return on the stock can be calculated using the following formula:
Total rate of return = [(P1 - Po) + D] / Po .......................... (1)
Where;
P1 = Ending stock price = $44
Po = Initial stock price = $40
D = Dividend paid = $2
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Total rate of return = [(44 - 40) + 2] / 44
Total rate of return = [4 + 2] / 44
Total rate of return = 6 / 44
Total rate of return = 0.14, or 14%
The Janjua Company had the following account balances at 1/1/18: Common Stock $65,000 Treasury Stock (at cost) 13,400 Paid-in-Capital in Excess of Par 82,000 Investments in AFS Debt Securities 40,000 FVA (AFS) 1,500 credit Retained Earnings 22,000 On that date, the Accumulated OCI account was at its proper balance. There were no sales or purchases of Common Stock or Investments during 2018. Prior to any adjusting journal entries related to the investments, 2018 Net Income was $10,300. No other transactions affecting Retained Earnings occurred. Fair Value of the Investments at 12/31/2018 was $40,000.Required:a. Prepare the 12/31/18 journal entry to adjust the investment to fair value.b. Prepare the complete 12/31/18 Equity section of the balance sheet.
Answer:
The Janjua Company
a) Journal Entry:
Debit FVA (AFS) $1,500
Credit Unrealized Gain on Investments $1,500
To record the unrealized gain on AFS investment.
b) Equity Section of the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018:
Common Stock $65,000
Treasury Stock (at cost) (13,400)
Paid-in-Capital in Excess of Par 82,000
Retained Earnings 32,300
Total Stockholders' Equity $165,600
Explanation:
Retained Earnings:
1/1/18 = $22,000
Net income = $10,300
12/31/18 = $32,300
FVA = The Janjua Company's Funding Valuation Adjustment is the contra account of Investments where The Janjua Company adjusts the value of investments at the end of the account period. When the value of the investment reaches $40,000, the unrealized gain is debited to the FVA account. This effectively reverses the credit balance and restores the investments to the adjusted balance of $40,000.
The stock pays a dividend of $2 per year and its price is $80. If the market return is 7% and the risk-free rate is 1%, what is the stock beta? A. 0.4 B. 0.5 C. 0.25 D. 0.1
Answer:
The beta of the stock is 0.25 and option C is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The current price of a stock which pays a constant dividend can be determined using the zero growth dividend model of DDM. The formula to calculate the price under this model is,
P0 = Dividend / r
Where,
r is the required rate of return on the stockAs we already know the value of P0 and Dividend, we can plug in these values in the formula and calculate the value of r.
80 = 2 / r
80 * r = 2
r = 2 / 80
r = 2.5% or 0.025
The required rate of return can also be calculated using the CAPM equation. The formula for r under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on marketTo calculate beta, we will input the values for r, rRf and rM in the CAPM equation.
Let beta be x.
0.025 = 0.01 + x * (0.07 - 0.01)
0.025 - 0.01 = x * 0.06
0.015 / 0.06 = x
x = 0.25
Thus, beta is 0.25
A customer sells short 100 shares of ABC at $17 as the initial transaction in a new margin account. The customer must deposit:_______.
A. $750.
B. $1,500.
C. $2,000.
D. $3,000.
Answer: $2,000
Explanation:
Regulation T which governs such actions in the investment market would only require that the customer deposit 50% of the total amount to be called which would be;
= 50% * (100 * 17)
= $850
However, as this is a new margin account, there is a set minimum that must be reached to enable it to be open. That minimum is $2,000.
