When you retire, you wish to have $3 million in your retirement account. You decided to add $2,000 every quarter to your retirement account and invest to generate annualized return of 8% from your investment, how many years do you think it will take to have $3 million in the account
Answer:
43.35 years
Explanation:
Use the following formula to determine the number of years
Future Value of Annuity = Periodic Annuity x ( 1 + Periodic Interest rate )^numbers of periods ) - 1 / Periodic Interest rate
Where
Future Value of Annuity = $3 million = $3,000,000
Periodic Annuity = $2,000 per quarter
Periodic Interest rate = Interest rate x Quarterly fraction = 8% x 3/12 = 2%
Numbers of periods = n = ?
Placing values in the formula
$3,000,000 = $2,000 x ( 1 + 2% )^n ) - 1 / 2%
$3,000,000 / $2,000 = ( 1 + 2% )^n ) - 1 / 2%
1,500 = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1 / 2%
1,500 x 2% = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1
30 = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1
30 + 1 = 1.02^n
31 = 1.02^n
Log 31 = n log 1.02
n = Log 31 / Log1.02
n = 173.41
Now calculat ethe nUmbers of years as follow
Numbers of years = n x 3/12
Numbers of years = 173.41 x 3/12
Numbers of years = 43.35 years
Evaluate whether all of the following are considered to be investment (I) in calculating GDP.
a. The purchase of a new automobile for private, non-business use
b. The purchase of a new house
c. The purchase of corporate bonds
Answer:
only the purchase of a new house would be considered investment spending of the three options
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :
spending on durables - e.g. laptop
spending on nondurables - e.g. clothes, food
spending on services - e.g. payment of hospital bill
the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods
Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services
Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment. The purchase of a new limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure
The purchase of a new automobile for private, non-business use is an example of consumption spending on durables
The purchase of a new house is an example of investment spending
The purchase of corporate bonds is not included in the calculation of GDP
Department R had 4,700 units in work in process that were 78% completed as to labor and overhead at the beginning of the period. During the period, 26,200 units of direct materials were added, 28,500 units were completed, and 2,400 units were 32% completed as to labor and overhead at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. The first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. The number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the period was a.25,602 b.35,600 c.28,500 d.30,302
Answer: 25602
Explanation:
The number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the period will be calculated as follows:
Beginning work in process = 4700 × (100% - 78%) = 4700 × 22% = 1034
Add: Unit started and completed = 28,500 - 4700 = 23800
Add: Ending work in process = 2400 × 32% = 768
The equivalent units of production for conversion costs will be:
= 1034 + 23800 + 768
= 25602
Tri-County G&T sells 145,000 MWh per year of electrical power to Boulder at $ per MWh, has fixed costs of $ million per year, and has variable costs of $ per MWh. If Tri-County has MWh of demand from its customers (other than Boulder), what will Tri-County have to charge to break even?
Answer:
$105.85
Explanation:
Given that :
Fixed cost = $83.1 million
Variable cost = $30 / MWh
Number of demand, $1,000,000 MWh
Variable cost to other customers =[(1,000,000 + 145000) * $30) = $34350000
To break even :
Total Cost = Total revenue
(fixed Cost + variable cost) = total revenue
Let amount per MWh required to break even = x (amount sold to other customers)
(83100000 + 34350000) = (145000*80 + 1000000x)
117450000 = 11600000 + 1000000x
117450000 - 11600000 = 1000000x
105850000 = 1000000x
x = 105850000 / 1000000
x = $105.85
Somerset Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $62 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 45% of direct labor cost.

Morgana Company identifies three activities in its manufacturing process: machine setups, machining, and inspections. Estimated annual overhead cost for each activity is $157,500, $421,600, and $60,000, respectively. The cost driver for each activity and the estimated annual usage are number of setups 2,100, machine hours 24,800, and number of inspections 1,200.
Required:
Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the overhead rate for each activity is shown below:
Machine setup is
= $157,500 ÷ 2,100
= $75 per machine setup
Machining is
= $421,600 ÷ 24,800
= $17 per machine hour
And, for Inspections, it is
= $60,000 ÷ 1,200
= $50 per inspection
In this way it should be calculated

Grays Company has inventory of 25 units at a cost of $6 each on August 1. On August 3, it purchased 35 units at $11 each. 27 units are sold on August 6. Using the FIFO perpetual inventory method, what amount will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 27 units that were sold?
Answer:
$174
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 27 units that were sold
Cost of goods sold=(25 units*$6) + [(25 units -27units)*$12]
Cost of goods sold =$150+$24
Cost of goods sold=$174
Therefore the amount that will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 27 units that were sold is $174

Suppose that a competitive firm's marginal cost of producing output q (MC) is given by MC (q )equals6plus2 q. Assume that the market price (P) of the firm's product is $18 . What level of output (q) will the firm produce? The firm will produce nothing units of output. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The firm will produce 6.00 units of output.
Explanation:
From the question, we have:
MC(q) = 6 + 2q ……………… (1)
P = $18 ………………………. (2)
For any firm, profit is maximized when MC = P. To determine the level of output (q) the firm will produce, we therefore equate equations (1) and (2) and solve for q as follows:
6 + 2q = 18
2q = 18 - 6
2q = 12
q = 12 / 2
q = 6.00
Therefore, the firm will produce 6.00 units of output.
During its fiscal year, a Pension Trust Fund buys 1,000 shares of stock, for which it pays $33,000. At year end, the stock has a fair value of $28,000. How should this fact be reported in the Trust Fund's financial statements?a. the investment should be reported at a value of $33,000.
b. the investment should be reported at a value of $33,000, and the loss in market value should be reported in a footnote.
c. the investment should be reported at a value of $30,500.
d. the investment should be reported at a value of $28,000.
Answer: d. the investment should be reported at a value of $28,000.
Explanation:
Investments should be recorded at their fair value in the financial statements. If a loss is made but the company is still holding on to the investment then the loss is unrealized which is the case here.
When there is an unrealized loss, it is to be debited to the Unrealized loss account and credited to the investment account to show that it is reducing. This will then leave the balance of the investment account at the fair value which in this case is $28,000.
a)What are the expected returns and standard deviations of a portfolio consisting of:1.100 percent in stock A
Answer:
12%
1.00
Explanation:
Note that the expected return on stock A which is 12% is missing from the question as well as the standard deviation of A which is 1.00
The expected return from stock A with 100% of funds(total amount of investment) invested in stock A is the percentage invested in A multiplied by the expected return of stock A shown thus:
expected return=100%*12%
portfolio expected return=12%
portfolio standard deviation(if 100% invested in A)=1.00*100%

Suppose you buy some stock in the Alpha Corporation at a price of $45.95 per share. 410 days later you sell the stock for $48.27. During this period you received a per share dividend of $1.20. What is your annualized return on this investment
Answer: 6.79%
Explanation:
The holding period return is:
= (Current price - Cost price + Dividend) / Cost price
= (48.27 - 45.95 + 1.20) / 45.95
= 7.66%
The annualized return is:
= ( ( 1 + holding period return) ^ number of days in a year/ number of days stock was held - 1)
= ( ( 1 + 7.66%) ³⁶⁵ / ⁴¹⁰ - 1)
= 6.79%
Which of the following statements are true regarding externalities? (Check all that apply.) A. Deadweight loss can be either a foregone benefit or the total cost of the externality to society. B. In the case of an externality, the free market will maximize social surplus. C. For computing efficient outcomes, economic agents adjust the demand curve to account for negative externalities. D. A negative externality occurs when an economic activity has a spillover cost to a bystander.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Coase theorem has been proposed as a solution to externality. According to this theory, when there are conflicting property rights, bargaining between parties involved can lead to an efficient outcome only if the bargaining cost is low
Another solution to negative externality is through the activities of charities. Charities can raise donations to limit or regulate the activities of firms that constitutes a negative externality.
When an economic action has a spillover cost to a bystander, this is referred to as a negative externality.
What are positive and negative externalities?Positive Externalities:
If the advantages to third parties who are not involved in the production process exceed the cost, the good has positive externality.
Research and development is an example of a positive externality-generating activity. They are frequently under-produced due to the high expense of R & D.
Subsidies can be used by the government to support the production of activities that create positive externality.
Negative Externalities:
If the costs to non-production parties are larger than the benefits, a good has negative externality.
Pollution is an example of a negative externality-producing activity. Because pollution may be created for little or no cost, it is frequently overproduced.
Taxation can be used by the government to discourage the production of activities that cause negative externalities.
Negative externalities like as air and noise pollution are frequently mentioned. Therefore, option (d) is true regarding the externalities.

Adonis Corporation issued 10-year, 11% bonds with a par value of $300,000. Interest is paid semiannually. The market rate on the issue date was 10%. Adonis received $318,696 in cash proceeds. Which of the following statements is true?
a. Adonis must pay $300,000 at maturity plus 20 interest payments of $16,500 each.
b. Adonis must pay $300,000 at maturity and no interest payments.
c. Adonis must pay $318,696 at maturity plus 20 interest payments of $16,500 each.
d. Adonis must pay $300,000 at maturity plus 20 interest payments of $15,000 each.
e. Adonis must pay $318,696 at maturity and no interest payments.
Answer:
a. Adonis must pay $300,000 at maturity plus 20 interest payments of $16,500 each
Explanation:
It should be noted that at maturity bond issuers usually pay back the face value of the bond to bondholders except where they also pay a premium of the face value which is not the case here, hence, the face value of $300,000 would be repaid at maturity.
There would 20 semiannual coupon payments in 10 years bond tenor and the value of each semiannual coupon is computed thus:
semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate/2
coupon rate=11%(11% bonds means that coupon rate is 11%)
semiannual coupon=$300,000*11%/2
semiannual coupon=$16,500

c. Night Ryder, Fruit Fly, WholeMart
d. WholeMart, Fruit Fly, Night Ryder
Fruit Fly, Night Ryder, WholeMart is the three stocks by their total risk level, highest to lowest. Night Ryder has an average return of 9 percent. Hence, option A is correct.
What is standard deviation?The term "standard deviation" (or "") refers to a measurement of the data's dispersion from the mean. A low standard deviation implies that the data are grouped around the mean, whereas a large standard deviation shows that the data are more dispersed.
Example: How many people had scores on a recent test that were lower than yours, which was 0.5 standard deviations above the mean? 19.1% falls between 0 and 0.5. 50% is less than zero.
A low standard deviation indicates that the data are tightly grouped around the mean, while a high standard deviation indicates that the data are widely dispersed (less dependable) (more reliable).
Thus, option A is correct.

You are the regional sales manager for Standard Publishing Co. The company is preparing adjusting entries for the year ended March 31, 2021. On September 1, 2020, customers in your region paid $180,000 cash for three-year magazine subscriptions beginning on that date. The magazines are published and mailed to customers monthly. These were the only subscription sales in your region during the year. What amount should be reported on the income statement for subscription revenue for the year ended March 31, 2021
Answer:
Standard Publishing Co.
The amount of subscription revenue that should be reported on the income statement for the year ended March 31, 2021 is:
= $35,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
September 1, 2020 Cash receipt for magazine subscriptions for three years = $180,000
This subscriptions is equal to 36 months subscription.
The amount of subscription revenue to report for the year ended March 31, 2021 = $35,000 ($180,000 * 7/36).
From the above calculation, a month's subscription revenue = $5,000 ($180,000/36)
Therefore, seven months' subscription from September 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020 = $35,000 ($5,000 * 7).
The unearned subscription revenue is debited with $35,000, while earned subscription revenue is credited with the same amount.

What is the company’s margin of safety? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 2. What is the company’s margin of safety as a percentage of its sales?
Answer:
1.150 units
2. 15.79%
Explanation:
Margin of safety is the difference between the current level of profitability and the break-even level. In other words, it is excess of the current level of sales and the break-even sales computed using the formula below:
the margin of safety in units=current level of sales-breakeven sales
break-even sales=fixed expense/contribution margin
fixed expense=$4,800
contribution margin per unit=selling price-variable cost
contribution margin per unit=$24-$18
contribution margin per unit=$6
break-even sales=$4,800/$6
break-even sales units=800 units
the margin of safety in units=950-800
the margin of safety in units=150 units
the margin of safety as a percentage of its sales=150/950
the margin of safety as a percentage of its sales=15.79%

(a) Credit balance of $300 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts just prior to adjustment. Analysis of Accounts Receivable indicates uncollectible receivables of $8,500.
(b) Credit balance of $500 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts just prior to adjustment. Uncollectible receivables are estimated at 2% of credit sales, which totaled $1,000,000 for the year.
Answer:
a. Credit balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and already balance in Allowance account = $300
Estimated Doubtful accounts and balance maintained with Allowance for Doubtful Accounts= $8,500
Amount added to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $8,500 - $300
Amount added to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $8,200
Ending balance maintained with Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $8,500
b. Credit balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and already balance in Allowance account = $500
Estimated Doubtful accounts and balance maintained with Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $1,000,000 * 2% = $20,000
Ending balance maintained with Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $20,000 + $500 = $20,500

Total equity and liabilities on March 31 is:
= Beginning balance - decrease in liabilities + Increase in Equity
= 5,000,000 - 100,000 + 400,000
= $5,300,000
Assets therefore has to be $5,300,000 on the same date.
Assets = New cash balance + Other assets
5,300,000 = (2,200,000 - 200,000) + Other assets
Other assets = 5,300,000 - 2,000,000
= $3,300,000
Suppose you borrow $9,875 and then repay the loan by making 12 monthly payments of $863.58 each. What is the effective annual rate (EAR) you are paying
Answer:
9.38%
Explanation:
PV = $9,875
PMT = $863.58
NPER = 12
Using the MS Rate Function to derive the Periodic rate
Periodic rate = Rate(NPER, -PMT, PV)
Periodic rate = Rate(12, -863.58, 9,875)
Periodic rate = 0.0075
Periodic rate = 0.75%
Nominal rate = Periodic rate * NPER
Nominal rate = 0.75% * 12
Nominal rate = 9%
Using the MS Effect Function to derive the effective annual rate (EAR)
Nominal rate = 9%
NPER = 12
Effective annual rate (EAR) = Effect(Nominal rate, NPER)
Effective annual rate (EAR) = Effect(9%, 12)
Effective annual rate (EAR) = 0.0938
Effective annual rate (EAR) = 9.38%
So, the the effective annual rate (EAR) you are paying is 9.38%.
