a. increases; increases
b. increases; decreases
c. decreases; decreases
d. decreases; increases

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The value of tax shield is simply given as corporate tax rate times the cost of debt times the market value of debt.

Answers

Answer:

Beta= 1.4886

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

You own a stock portfolio invested 32 percent in Stock Q, 22 percent in Stock R, 19 percent in Stock S, and 27 percent in Stock T.

The betas for these four stocks are 1.63, 1.35, 2.56, and 0.68, respectively.

To calculate the portfolio beta, we need to use the following formula:

Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B)

Beta= (0.32*1.63) + (0.22*1.35) + (0.19*2.56) + (0.27*0.68)

Beta= 1.4886

When making business changes in the short run, management sometimes gets locked in to certain costs arising from previous decisions. This is type of cost is best known as:_______.
a. controllable.
b. differential.
c. uncontrollable.
d. sunk.

Answers

Answer: This is the type of cost known as Sunk.

sunk cost is a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. Sunk costs are contrasted with prospective costs, which are future costs that may be avoided if action is taken.

A sunk cost refers to money that has already been spent and which cannot be recovered. ... Sunk costs are excluded from future business decisions because the cost will remain the same regardless of the outcome of a decision.

The sunk cost effect is manifested in a greater tendency to continue an endeavor once an investment in money, effort, or time has been made. Evidence that the psychological justification for this behavior is predicated on the desire not to appear wasteful is presented.

Summer 20 Corp estimates overhead based on direct labor hours and has given you the following information:
Estimated Manufacturing Overhead Costs 2020 $405,000
Estimated Direct Labor Hours for 2020 220,000
Actual Direct Labor Hours for 2020 202,000
Manufacturing Overhead Account Debit Entries total $380,000
1. Determine the predetermined overhead allocation rate stated with cents.
2. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead that was allocated.
3. Calculate the amount Summer 20 Corp is over or under allocated during the year.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 405,000 / 220,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.841 per DLH

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 1.841*202,000

Allocated MOH= $371,882

Finally, the over/under allocation:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 380,000 - 371,882

Underapplied overhead= $8,118

Menning Inc. uses a job-order costing system in which any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold at the end of the month. The company has provided the following data for June:

Direct materials $78,750
Direct labor cost $94,000
Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $61,275
Manufacturing overhead cost applied $65,800

Inventories: Beginning Ending
Work in process $17,500 $19,850
Finished goods $61,500 $38,250

The cost of goods sold that appears on the income statement for August and that has been adjusted for any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closest to: __________

a. $254,925
b. $263,975
c. $236,200
d. $259,450

Answers

Answer:

Adjusted COGS= $254,925

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 17,500 + 78,750 + 94,000 + 65,800 - 19,850

cost of goods manufactured= $236,200

Now, the COGS:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 61,500 + 236,200 - 38,250

COGS= $259,450

Finally, the over/under applied overhead and the adjustment:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 61,275 - 65,800

Overapplied overhead= $4,525

As overhead was overapplied, COGS must be reduced:

Adjusted COGS= 259,450 - 4,525

Adjusted COGS= $254,925

Pasadena Candle Inc. projected sales of 800,000 candles for January. The estimated January 1 inventory is 35,000 units, and the desired January 31 inventory is 20,000 units. What is the budgeted production (in units) for January?

Answers

Answer:

785,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the budgeted production (in units) for January

BUDGETED PRODUCTION (in units) FOR JANUARY

Expected units to be sold 800000

Add Desired ending inventory, Dec 31 20000

Total units available 820000

(800,000+20,000)

Less Estimated beginning inventory, Jan 1 (35000)

Total units to be produced 785000

(820,000-35,000)

Therefore the budgeted production (in units) for January is 785,000

A Consumer Expenditure Survey in the city of Firestorm shows that people buy only firecrackers and bandages. s AConsumer Expenditure Survey in 2016 shows that the average household spent $216 on firecrackers and $18 on bandages. In 2016, the reference base year, the price of a firecracker was $6, and the price of bandages was $2 a pack. In the current year, 2017, firecrackers are $5 each and bandages are $3 a pack Calculate the CPI market basket and the percentage of a household's budget spent on firecrackers in the base year.
The CPI market basket is nothing ______ and nothing _______ packs of bandages dollars worth of bandages . The percentage of a​ household's budget spent on firecrackers in the base year is_______ percent.

Answers

Answer: 92.3%

Explanation:

The total budget which is the sum of all the expenditure by the household will be the addition of the $216 spent on firecrackers and $18 on bandages. This will be:

= $216 + $18

= $234

Price of a firecracker = $6

Price of bandages = $2 a pack

Number of firecrackers = $216/$6 = 36

Number of bandages = $18/$2 = 9

CPI market basket is 36 firecrackers and 9 bandages.

Therefore, the percentage of a household's budget spent on firecrackers in the base year will be:

= Expenditures on firecrackers/Total expenditure

= $216 / $234

= 92.3%

The correct option is b) USD to GBP; GBP to CHF; CHF to USD.

Explanation:

A triangular arbitrage can be described as the act of taking advantage of a foreign exchange market arbitrage opportunity created by a pricing difference between three different currencies.

A triangle arbitrage method entails three deals, with the first currency being converted to a second, the second currency being converted to a third, and the third currency being converted to the first.

In the question, USD is the first currency, GBP is the second currency, and CHF is the third currency. Based on the explanation above, the three steps which will create triangular arbitrage profit are as follows: first step, convert USD to GBP; second step, convert GBP to CHF, and third step, convert CHF to USD.

Therefore, the correct option is b) USD to GBP; GBP to CHF; CHF to USD.

Benny is the manager of an office-support business that supplies copying, binding, and other services for local companies. He must replace a worn-out copy machine that is used for black-and-white copying. He is considering two machines, and each of these has a monthly lease cost plus a cost for each page that is copied. Machine 1 has a monthly lease cost of $619, and there is a cost of $0.030 per page copied. Machine 2 has a monthly lease cost of $675, and there is a cost of $0.028 per page copied. Customers are charged $.16 per page copied. If Benny expects to make 105,000 copies per month, what would be the monthly cost for each machine

Answers

Answer:

Machine one cost:

= Fixed cost + Variable cost

The Fixed cost is the lease cost and the variable cost is the cost per page copied. The number of pages is 105,000 and the cost per page for machine 1 is $0.030

= 619 + (0.030 * 105,000)

= $3,769 monthly

Machine two cost:

= 675 + (0.028 * 105,000)

= $3,615 monthly

Explain whether each of the following statements is true or false.

The marginal rate of substitution​ (MRS) diminishes as an individual moves downward along the demand curve. Assume the statement refers to good X with price Upper P Subscript Upper X ​, where good X is measured on the horizontal axis of an indifference map and good Y is measured on the vertical axis.

Answers

Answer:

1. True

Explanation:

Marginal rate of substitution is quantity of good which a consumer will need to have in order to leave another good. The MRS equals to Px/Py. This will decrease when the demand curve decreases.

You have decided to invest in two bonds. Bond X is an n-year bonod with semiannual coupons, while bond Y is zero-coupon bond, which is re- deemable in 2 years. The desired yield rate is the same for both bonds. You also have the following information:

Bond X:
Par value is 1000.
The ratio of the semi-annual bond rate to the desired semi-annual yield rate, that is is r/i 1.03125.
b. The present value of the redemption amount is 381.50.

Bond Y:
Redemption value is the same as that of bond X.
Price to yield is 647.80.

What is the price of bond X?

Answers

Answer:

The price of the bond X is 1055.09.

Explanation:

The price of Bond X can be determined as follows:

Let:

R = Present value of the Redemption amount of X and Y

i = yield of both Bond X  and Bond Y

For Bond X, we have:

381.5 = R / (1+i)n ………………… (1)

For Bond Y, we have:

647.80. = R/(1+i)(n/2) ……………….. (2)

Use equation (2) to divide equation (1), we have:

381.5/647.8 = 1/ (1+i)(n/2)  ……………………….. (3)

0.588916332201297= 1/ (1+i)(n/2)

(1+i)(n/2) = 1 / 0.588916332201297

(1+i)(n/2) = 1.69803407601573

647.80 = R / 1.69803407601573

R = 647.80 * 1.69803407601573 = 1,099.99, or 1,100

Now, also let:

r = coupon rate of Bond X

P= present value of Cash flows of Bond X  

Therefore, we have:

P = 1000 * (r/2) / (1+i)0.5 + 1000*(r/2)/ (1+i)1+....+1000 * (r/2) /(1+i)n+ 1100/(1+i)n

It can be observed that we have 2n terms indicating present value of 2n semiannual coupon payments and last term is present value of Redemption amount.

Applying GP formula, we have:

P = 1000 *(r/2) * (1- (1+i)-n) / ((1+i)(1/2) -1) + 1100 * (1+i)-n

Looking at equation (3), we it can be observed that we can have:

(1+i)-(n/2) = 381.5/647.8 = 0.588916

Therefore, we have:

(1+i)-n = 0.5889162= 0.346822

By employing the Binomial approximation, we have:

(1+i)(1/2)= 1+i/2+... very small terms = 1 + i/2

This indicates that:

(1+i)(1/2)-1 = i/2

If we substitute this into the price equation, we will have

P = 1000 *(r/2) * (1-0.346822) / ( i/2) + 1100 * 0.346822 = 1000 * (r/i) * 0.653178 + 381.504

Since r/i = 1.03125, we have:

P = 653.178 * 1.03125 + 381.504 = 1055.09

Therefore, the price of the bond X is 1055.09.

Which answer does not describe the benefits to the industry-wide practice of localization?
a) It is only used in the game industry
b) It creates wide audience appeal
c) It is time-saving
d) It is cost-effective

Answers

Answer:

a) It is only used in the game industry

Explanation:

The statement that does not describe the benefits to the industry-wide practice of localization is that "It is only used in the game industry."

This because Localization in business or industry practice is a means or process of modifying a product or service to fulfill the needs of a specific area or locality in terms of language, culture, or targeted population's perceptions.

Hence, it doesn't apply to the GAME INDUSTRY alone but rather to every industry.

Also, there are lots of advantages of Localization of products, which includes wide acceptance across the targeted audience, time-saving, as it focuses on a particular region, and cost-effective as the target population can be easily satisfied compared to satisfy global market all in one product make up style.

A taxpayer's spouse dies in August of the current year. Which of the following is the taxpayer's filing status for the current year?

a. Single.
b. Qualified widow(er).
c. Married filing jointly.
d. Head of household.

Answers

Answer:

b. Married filling jointly

Explanation:

From the question we are informed about taxpayer's spouse who dies in August of the current year. In this case,

the taxpayer's filing status for the current year would be Married filling jointly. Joint return can be regarded as tax return which is been filed with the Internal Revenue Service by two married taxpayers that decide to have a filing status of "married filing jointly" or a widowed taxpayer that decide to have a filing status of " Qualifying Widow "A joint return give room for the

taxpayers to join their tax liability as well as report their income, credits and

deductions on the same joint return.

The joint return rates still validly

apply even two year after the death of a particular spouse, so far the

surviving spouse of the dead spouse does not remarry and still maintains a household as regards a dependent child.
