The Vice-President of ACME Corporation, an NYSE listed firm, places an order to buy 10,000 shares of ACME common at the market. 3 months later, ACME stock's price has increased by 20% and the officer places an order to sell. Which statement is TRUE
Answer: D. The officer must forfeit the profit on the sale
Explanation:
The Vice-president of ACME who is the one attempting to sell is an officer of ACME and as such falls under Rule 144 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a control person.
This Act is meant to curb market manipulation and so it places restrictions on some activities by officers of a company. One of which is that for the seller to claim any profits on such sales, they would have to had held the stock for at least 6 months so that they do not have a "short swing" profit. If they do so, they are to pay the profits accrued back to the Issuer of the stock so indeed, the officer must forfeit the profit on the sale.

The advantages of using typedef do not include:a. Making programs more portable by allowing data types to be easily changed to meet system specifications.b. Making type names shorter.c. Making programs more readable.d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Answer:
d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Explanation:
In the programming language C and C++ there is a keyword i.e typedef that function is to provide a new name. It is to be used to develop an extra name for the other data type but it does not develop a new data type
Here the advantage of using typedef is as follows
1. It allows the data types for meeting the specifications of the system
2. The name would become shorter
3. Readable program
but it does not increase the efficiency
Hence, the last option is correct
Which item below is an incorrect statement about the difference between the discount rate and the federal funds rate? a) The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing b) The discount rate is the interest rate at which the Fed charges the bank for loans c) The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which banks charge each other for loans d) The discount rate is directly changed by the Fed while the federal funds rate is changed indirectly.
Answer:
a) The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing
Explanation:
The Feds fund rate is the rate at which banks borrow from each other usually overnight, while the discount rate is the interest rate charged by the Fed to commercial banks for borrowing directly from the Fed.
These borrowings help the commercial banks meet up their liquidity requirements.
The discount rate is higher than the Fed funds rate. This is to encourage banks to borrow from each other instead of borrowing directly from the Federal Reserve.
The Fed fund rate also tends to affect the prime lending rate (rate at which banks lend money to their clients).
So the statement - The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing. Is not correct

Answer:
Current ratio and Acid-test ratio (3.15 and 0.80)
Explanation:
Note: The missing part of the question is "Using the following year-end information for Bauman, LLC, calculate the current ratio and acid-test ratio:"
i. Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
Current assets = 38,600 + 9,000 + 40,000 + 240,000 + 17,400
Current assets = $345,000
Current liabilities= 87,200 + 22,300
Current liabilities = $109,500
Current ratio = $345,000 / $109,500
Current ratio = 3.15
ii. Acid-test ratio = {Current assets - (Inventory + Prepaid expenses)}/Current liabilities
Acid-test ratio = 345,000- (240,000 + 17,400 ) / 109,500
Acid-test ratio = 87,600 / 109,500
Acid-test ratio = 0.80

Delta Distributors has accounts receivable of $2,750,000 and average daily credit sales of $118,280. The firm offers credit terms of 2/10, net 30. On average, what is the firm's accounts receivable period?
Answer:
The firm's accounts receivable period is 23.25 days
Explanation:
Accounts receivable period = 365 / Account receivable turnover ratio
When Account receivable turnover ratio = Net sales / Account receivables
Account receivable turnover ratio = 118,280 * 365 days/ 2,750,000

The company used 18,000 liters of direct material to produce this output. The company purchased 18,800 liters of the direct material at $1.30 per liter. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The materials quantity variance for April is:
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $696 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard quantity 6.7 liters per unit
Standard price $ 1.20 per liter
Actual production was 2,600 units.
The company used 18,000 liters of direct material to produce this output.
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 6.7*2,600= 17,420
Direct material quantity variance= (17,420 - 18,000)*1.2
Direct material quantity variance= $696 unfavorable

Direct materials purchased and used (2,400 pounds)$4,080 Direct labor (1,880 hours)$18,612 Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for materials and labor.
Answer:
Materials
price variance = $240 Unfavorable
quantity variance = $864 Unfavorable
total variance = $1,104 Unfavorable
Labor
price variance = $188 Favorable
quantity variance = $200 Unfavorable
total variance = $12 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Materials
price variance = (Aq × Ap) - (Aq × Sp)
= (2,400 × $1.70) - (2,400 × $1.60)
= $240 Unfavorable
quantity variance = (Aq × Sp) - (Sq × Sp)
= (2,400 × $1.60) - (310 × 6 × $1.60)
= $864 Unfavorable
total variance = price variance + quantity variance
= $240 + $864
= $1,104 Unfavorable
Labor
price variance = (Aq × Ap) - (Aq × Sp)
= (1,880 × $9.90) - (1,880 × $10.00)
= $188 Favorable
quantity variance = (Aq × Sp) - (Sq × Sp)
= (1,880 × $10.00) - (310 × 6 × $10.00)
= $200 Unfavorable
total variance = price variance + quantity variance
= $188 + (-$200)
= $12 Unfavorable

A bond pays a semiannual coupon, and the last coupon was paid 61 days ago. If the annual coupon payment is $75, what is the accrued interest
Answer:
$12.57
Explanation:
Calculation for the accrued interest
Using this formula
Accrued interest =(Annual coupon payment/2) * (The numbers of days the last coupon was paid/182)
Note that Semiannual means the that annual coupon payment happened twice in a year which is from January to June and from July to December and Secondly let assumed that we have $182 days in the 6 months period.
Let plug in the formula
Accrued interest=(75/2) × (61/182)
Accrued interest=37.5*0.33516
Accrued interest=$12.57
Therefore the Accrued interest will be $12.57
Say that you purchase a house for $150,000 by getting a mortgage for $135,000 and paying a $15,000 down payment. If you get a 15-year mortgage with a 6 percent interest rate, what are the monthly payments
Answer:
Monthly installment = $1,139.21
Explanation:
When a loan is to be paid over a period of time using a series of periodic equal installments, it is called loan amortization. Each equal installment is meant to liquidate the principal and the accrued interest.
The amount to be financed by way of loan=
= cost of house - down payment
= $150,000 - 15,000 = $135,000
The monthly equal installment is calculated as follows:
Monthly equal installment-= Loan amount/Monthly annuity factor
Monthly annuity factor
=( 1-(1+r)^(-n))/r
Monthly interest rate (r)
= 6%/12= 0.5%
Number of months ( n) in 15 years
= 15* 12 = 180
Annuity factor
= ( 1- (1.005)^(-180)/0.005= 118.504
Monthly installment = 135,000/ 118.504 =1139.21
Monthly installment = $1139.21

October sales are expected to be 73,000 units. Budgeted sales for September would be (in units):
Answer:
56,500 units
Explanation:
The computation of Budgeted sales for September is shown below:-
we assume the no. of units sold in September be ‘x’
Budgeted Production production for September = Budgeted sale for September + desired ending inventory for September – Beginning Inventory for September
58,150 = x units + (73,000 × 10%) - (x units of Sept. × 10%)
58,150 = x + 7,300 - 0.10x
58,150 - 7300 = 0.9x
50,850 = 0.9x
x = 50850 ÷ 0.9
