If a company purchases equipment costing $4,500 on credit, the effect on the accounting equation would be: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. Liabilities decrease $4,500 and assets increase $4,500. Equity decreases $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500. Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.
Answer: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, since the company buys an equipment which is an asset to the company, then there will be an increase in the assets by $4500.
Also, in thus case, the equipment was gotten on credit which is a liability. Therefore, the liabilities will increase by $4500 as well.
During 2004, Thor Lab supplied hospitals with a comprehensive diagnostic kit for $120. At a volume of 80,000 kits, Thor had fixed costs of $1,000,000 and a profit before income taxes of $200,000. Due to an adverse legal decision, Thor’s 2005 liability insurance increased by $1,200,000 over 2004. Assuming the volume and other costs are unchanged, what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?
a. $120.00
b. $135.00
c. $150.00
d. $240.00
Answer:
d. $240.00
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?
2004 CM% = 12.5% ($15/$120)
2005 CM = $2,400,000 ($1,000,000 + $200,000)
2005 CM per unit = $2,400,000/80,000 units
2005 CM per unit= $30 CM per unit;
2005 selling price per unit = $30/.125
2005 selling price per unit= $240
Therefore what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes is $240
You have just started a new job and plan to save $5,200 per year for 36 years until you retire. You will make your first deposit in one year. How much will you have when you retire if you earn an annual interest rate of 9.54 percent?
a. $1,331,411.17
b. $1,394,509.68
c. $1,346,423.14
d. $1,268,312.65
e. $1,333,878.83
Answer:
$1,394,509.68
Explanation:
Savings amount = $5200
Period = 36 years
Interest = 9.54 percent
We solve for the future value of the annuity
= $5200[(1+0.0954)³⁶-1/0.0954]
= 5200 x [1.0954³⁶-1/0.0954]
= 5200 x 268.1749
= 1,394,509.681 dollars
Therefore after retirement and at an interest rate of 9.54 percent, you would be earning 1,394,509.681 dollars.

Globalization alters the project's characteristics. Multinational and multilingual initiatives are possible in global projects. Managers must be able to communicate with individuals from diverse nations.
A manager requires a different set of skills to manage projects on a global scale. The following are things he should be aware of:
Cultural sensitivity
Learn about the other organizations' traditions.
ability to operate in a fast-paced, unpredictably changing workplace
Create a productive team.
Develop a sense of trust
All of these elements are equally crucial for the project's worldwide success.
The initiatives that are held at a worldwide level are more difficult.

Suppose an American buys stock issued by an Argentinian corporation. The Argentinian firm uses the proceeds from the sale to build a new office complex. This is an example of foreign investment in Argentina. Which of the following policies are consistent with the goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries?
a. Provide tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences.
b. Give families cash payments on the condition that their children show up for school and medical exams.
c. Increase taxes on income from savings.
d. Protect property rights and enforce contracts.
Answer:
a. Foreign Portfolio Investment
b. a. Provide tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences.
d. Protect property rights and enforce contracts.
Explanation:
This is an example of Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI). Foreign portfolio investment is when an entity from a foreign country invests in another country by buying the shares of a company in the local country. The American company bought shares in Argentina so the qualifies as FPI.
To increase productivity companies that are pursuing research should be given patents and tax breaks. The tax breaks will enable them have more money to reinvest into the research and the patent will provide incentive to them to continue the research knowing full well that they will be compensated by being the only ones to be able to use the technology invented for some time.
Also protecting property rights and enforcing contracts encourages investment in a country because people will be more trusting of making a return from business dealings. Higher investment leads to more productivity and growth.

Snack food vendors and beer distributors earn some monopoly profits in their local markets but see them slowly erode from various new substitutes. When California voted on legalizing marijuana, which side would you think that California beer distributors were on
Answer: Opposing side
Explanation:
Substitutes to the products offered by monopolies are frowned upon by monopolies because it means that they cannot raise prices whenever they want anymore because people could simply switch to the substitutes.
Substitutes therefore reduce the power of monopolies. Marijuana is a substitute to beer as a recreational product so beer companies would be opposed to it being legalized as it would pose a threat to whatever dominance they have in the recreational sector.

Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,100 light fixtures (units) at $9 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 8,500 units at $11.00 each. This level represents 85% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $8.50 per unit, which includes $6.50 variable cost and $2.00 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $1,200 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. Should the company accept the special order
Answer:
Minor Electric
The company should accept the special order. It makes a unit contribution of $1.41, which amounts to $1,551 in total.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Special order received for light fixtures = 1,100 units
Price of special order = $9 per unit
Production and sales units = 8,500 = 85% capacity
Total capacity = 10,000 units (8,500/0.85)
Selling price at production and sales units = $11.00 each
Production costs per unit = $8.50
Variable cost per unit = $6.50
Fixed cost per unit = $2
Cost of new machine required for special order = $1,200
Special order costs:
Variable cost per unit = $7,150 ($6.50 * 1,100)
Cost of new machine = 1,200
Total relevant costs = $8,350
Unit cost = $7.59 ($8,350/1,100)
Selling price = $9.00
Contribution per unit = $1.41

Suppose the U.S. yield curve is flat at 3% and the euro yield curve is flat at 5%. The current exchange rate is $1.4 per euro. What will be the swap rate on an agreement to exchange currency over a 3-year period
Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question.
answer :
3.02 million, 2.96 million, 2.91 million
Explanation:
Determine the swap rate over a 3-year period
swap rate = forward exchange rate * exchange amount
For year 1
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 ) * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 ) * 2.2
= 3.02 million
For year 2
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^2 * 2..2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^2 * 2.2 million
= 2.96378 million
For year 3
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 2.90733 million

East Valve Distributors distributes industrial valves and control devices. The Eastern control device has an annual demand of 9,375 units and sells for $100 per unit. The cost of ordering is $40 per order and the average carrying cost per unit per year is $0.75. Determine the economic order quantity.
Answer:
1000
Explanation:
Given:
Annual DEMAND, D = 9375
Holding cost, H = 0.75
Cost per order, S = 40
The Economic order quantity :
EOQ = √[(2 * D * S) / H]
EOQ = √[(2 * 9375 * 40) / 0.75]
EOQ = √[(750000) / 0.75]
EOQ = √1000000
EOQ = 1000
Suppose that the total value of dividends to be paid by companies in the Narnian stock market index is $100 billion. Investors expect dividends to grow over the long term by 5% annually, and they require a 10% return. Now a collapse in the economy leads investors to revise their growth estimate down to 4%. By how much should market values change
Answer:
The correct answer is "16.67%".
Explanation:
Given:
Dividend,
= $100 billion
Rate of return,
= 10%
= 0.10
Growth rate,
= 5%
= 0.05
Now,
Market value will be:
= [tex]\frac{Dividend}{Rate \ of\ return-Growth \ rate}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{100}{0.10-0.05}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{100}{0.05}[/tex]
= [tex]2000 \ Billion[/tex] ($)
After collapse,
The market value will be:
= [tex]\frac{100}{(.10-.04)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{100}{.06}[/tex]
= [tex]1666.67[/tex] ($)
Change in market value will be:
= [tex]2000-1666.67[/tex]
= [tex]333.33 \ Billion[/tex] ($)
hence,
The percentage change in market value will be:
= [tex]\frac{333.33}{2000}[/tex]
= [tex]16.67[/tex]%

ABC and XYZ are all-equity firms. ABC has 1,750 shares outstanding at a market price of $20 a share while XYZ has 2,500 shares outstanding at a price of $28 a share. ABC is acquiring XYZ for $75,000 in cash. The incremental value of the acquisition is $8,000. What is the net present value of acquiring XYZ to ABC
Answer:
the net present value is -$32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below;
= (Number of oustanding shares × market price per share) + incremental value of acquisition - acquiring value in cash
= (1,750 × $20) + $8,000 - $75,000
= $43,000 - $75,000
= -$32,000
Hence, the net present value is -$32,000

Assume the risk-free rate is 4%. You are a financial advisor, and must choose one of the funds below to recommend to each of your clients. Whichever fund you recommend, your clients will then combine it with risk-free borrowing and lending depending on their desired level of risk.
Expected Return Volatility
Fund A 10% 10%
Fund B 15% 22%
Fund C 6% 2%
Required:
a. Which fund would you recommend to a client seeking the highest possible expected return with a maximum volatility of 22%?
b. Which fund would you recommend to a client seeking the highest possible expected return with a maximum volatility of 22%?
c. Which fund would your recommend without knowing your clients risk preference?
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given point.
Explanation:
Calculate each fund's Sharpe ratio. It Fund is the best danger reward with the highest Sharpe ratio.
[tex]\text{Sharpe Ratio} = \frac{\text{(Fund return - \text{risk free return)}}}{Volatility}\\\\\to Fund A= \frac{(10\%-4\%)}{10\%} = 0.6\\\\\to Fund B= \frac{(15\%-4\%)}{22\%} = 0.5\\\\\to Fund C = \frac{(6\%-4\%)}{2\%}=1.0\\\\[/tex]
Fund C consequently offers the best risk-benefit. and without understanding client risk preference, we will advise Fund C for any clients. If a client wants to have a 22 percent minimum volatility, we'll nevertheless propose that Fund C instead of Fund B is available, because an investor can take risk-free rates to the degree that the total portfolio volatility stands at 22 percent and deposit it in Fund C.
