Suppose a basket of goods and services has been selected to calculate the consumer price index (CPI) and 2002 has been selected as the base year. In 2002, the basket's cost was $600; in 2004, the basket's cost was $650; and in 2006, the basket's cost was $700. The value of the CPI in 2004 was:___________

a. 92.3.
b. 106.3.
c. 108.3.
d. 152.0.
e. more than 155.0.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c. 108.3

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The value of the CPI in 2004 was:

Using this formula

Consumer Price Index (CPI) 2004 = (2004 Basket cost / Base year basket cost) x 100

Let plug in the formula

Consumer Price Index (CPI) 2004 = (650 / 600) x 100

Consumer Price Index (CPI) 2004 = 108.3

Therefore The value of the CPI in 2004 was:108.3

4. You want to take out a fully-amortizing 30-year mortgage. You can afford monthly payments of $600 each. The interest rate is 9%. How much money can you borrow?

Answers

Answer: $74569

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the amount that can be borrowed is explained below:

Present value of annuity will e calculated as:

= 600 × [1-(1+0.09/12)^-(12 ×30)] / (0.09/12)

= 600 × [1-(1+0.0075)^-(360)] / 0.0075

= 600 × 1-(1.0075)^-(360)] / 0.0075

= 600 × [1-0.0678860074] / 0.0075

= 600 × 124.282

= 74569

The amount that can be borrowed is $74569

The short-run elasticity of demand for gasoline sold at gasoline stations is 0.20. If terrorism causes the supply of gasoline to fall, resulting in a 5 percent drop in quantity, if other things remain the same, the price per gallon will increase by:___________

Answers

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price

0.2 =5% / percentage change in price

percentage change in price = 5/0.2 = 25%

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means supply is elastic. Elastic supply means that quantity supplied is sensitive to price changes.  

Supply is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity supplied. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Supply is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity supplied.  

One year ago, Richard purchased $1,260 worth of Double GG Corporation common stock for $42 per share. During the year, Richard received two dividend payments, each equal to $.05 per share. The current market value of the stock is $44 per share. What yield did Richard earn on his investment during the year

Answers

Answer:

Yield earned by Richard on his investment during the year is 5%.

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Number of shares purchased = Worth of common stock one year ago / Price per share one year ago = $1,260 / $42 = 30 shares

Total dividend received during the year = Number of shares purchased * Dividend per share * 2 = 30 * $0.05 * 2 = $3

Current worth of common stock = Number of shares purchased * Current market value per share = 30 * $44 = $1,320

Yield earned during the year = (Current worth of common stock - Worth of common stock one year ago + Total dividend received during the year) / Worth of common stock one year ago = ($1,320 - $1,260 + $3) / $1,260 = 0.05, or 5%

Therefore, yield earned by Richard on his investment during the year is 5%.

Consider the following information: Portfolio Expected Return Beta Risk-free 5 % 0 Market 10.6 1.0 A 8.6 0.9 a. Calculate the expected return of portfolio A with a beta of 0.9. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. What is the alpha of portfolio A. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. If the simple CAPM is valid, is the above situation possible?

Answers

Answer:

a. Expected return of portfolio A = 10.04%

b. Alpha of portfolio A = 1.44%

c. No, the above situation is NOT possible. This is because return as per CAPM and expected return have different values. Therefore, we say that CAPM is NOT valid.

Explanation:

Given:

Portfolio           Expected Return       Beta

Risk-free                     5  %                     0

Market                     10.6                       1.0

A                               8.6                       0.9

a. Calculate the expected return of portfolio A with a beta of 0.9. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Expected return of portfolio A = Return as per CAPM = Risk free rate + (Beta * (Market return - Risk free rate)) = 5% + (0.9 * (10.6% - 5%)) = 10.04%

b. What is the alpha of portfolio A. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Alpha of portfolio A = Return as per CAPM - Expected return = 10.04% - 86% = 1.44%

c. If the simple CAPM is valid, is the above situation possible?

No, the above situation is NOT possible. This is because return as per CAPM and expected return have different values. Therefore, we say that CAPM is NOT valid.

Answers

Answer:

Securities returns are uncorrelated.

Explanation:

Portfolio diversification is the process of holding different asset and security classes in order to minimise the non systemic risk of the portfolio

Non systemic risk are risks that can be diversified away. they are also called company specific risk. Examples of this type of risk is a manager engaging in fraudulent activities.

Correlation is a statistical measure used to measure the relationship that exists between two variables.

1. Positive correlation : it mean that the two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

For example, there should be a positive correlation between quantity supplied and price

When there is a positive correlation, the graph of the variables is upward sloping

2. Negative correlation :  it mean that the two variables move in different direction. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

For example, there should be a negative correlation between quantity demanded and price

When there is a negative correlation, the graph of the variables is downward sloping

3. Zero correlation : there is no relationship between the variables

In order to achieve the highest benefit of diversification, there should be no relationship between the assets in the portfolio

Answers

Answer:

$121,200

Explanation:

The gross profit that would appear on a multiple-step income statement can be determined as :

Gross Profit = Net Sales - Cost of Sales

where,

Net Sales = Sales - Sales Discounts -  Sales Returns and Allowances

                =  $ 250,000 -  $1,500 -  $2,300

                =  $246,200

therefore,

Gross Profit = $246,200 - $125,000

                    = $121,200

Thus, a secondary data is a type of data that has been previously obtained or collected.

In this scenario, the type of information the marketing team was using is referred to as secondary data because it looked to the Internet to find industry trends and at the market for eyewear products, which uses the same technology that is used in manufacturing its self-darkening windshield.

In conclusion, a secondary data is typically reliant or based on the primary source of information and as such it isn't a first hand experience.

Louisville, Kentucky is debating a new business ordinance that will address sidewalks in its city. Members of the Louisville city council do not need to concern themselves with which of the following issues?
a. Environmental standards
b. Federally mandated restrictive covenants
c. Local taxes
d. Local zoning
e. Building codes

Answers

Answer: c. Local taxes

Explanation:

The city will have to take into account the relevant environmental standards when constructing the sidewalks. They will also have to factor in federally restrictive mandated covenants for legality.

Local zoning laws will also need to be taken into account so that the sidewalk is not built where it is not meant to be and building codes would be important as well. They however, do not need to be concerned about local taxes because the city will not charge itself tax for city maintenance work.

The council members do not need to be concerned about the local taxes.

Local taxes are the levies that are paid by the people living in the community to the local government.

In this case, the issue is about Louisville, Kentucky addressing its sidewalks in the city, therefore the local taxes won't be an issue since it's not a local issue.

The source of concern will be the environmental standards, Federally mandated restrictive covenants, local zoning and building codes.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

If  the price of the stock at that time was $36 per share, the true statement is:

a. GM's earnings per share was 3.66.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Market price of stock at that time = $36 per share

Earnings per share = Market price per share/Price-earnings ratio

= $36/9.84 = 3.659

= $3.66

Check:

Price-earnings ratio = Market price per share/Earnings per share

= 9.84 ($36/$3.66)

Hammond Lumber has just changed from prefabricating 8 gazebos to 10 gazebos (units). Their total costs changed from $9,500 to $11,000. What is the marginal cost for Hammond Lumber?

Answers

Answer:

MC = 750

Explanation:

Below is the given values:

Initial quantity = 8

Final quantity = 10

Initial total cost = $9500

Final total cost = $11000

Marginal cost = Change in total cost / Change in quantity

Change in total cost = 11000 - 9500 = 1500

Change in quantity = 10 - 8 = 2

Marginal cost = Change in total cost / Change in quantity

MC = 1500 / 2

MC = 750

Pottery Ranch Inc. has been manufacturing its own finials for its curtain rods. The company is currently operating at 100% of capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 61% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make a pair of finials are $4 and $5, respectively. Normal production is 26,400 curtain rods per year.

A supplier offers to make a pair of finials at a price of $13.30 per unit. If Pottery Ranch accepts the supplier’s offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $40,400 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the finials will have to be absorbed by other products.

Required:
Prepare the incremental analysis for the decision to make or buy the finials.

Production costs:

Variable manufacturing costs per unit:

Direct materials per unit                      $4.00

Direct labor per unit                            $5.00

Variable manufacturing per unit        $3.05

Total variable manufacturing costs  $12.05         $13.30        $1.25

Variable manufacturing costs       $318,120     $351,120   $33,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production capacity = 100%

Variable manufacturing overhead = 61% of direct labor cost

Direct materials per unit = $4

Direct labor per unit = $5

Variable manufacturing per unit = $3.05 (61% of $5)

Total variable manufacturing cost per unit = $12.05

Normal production per year = 26,400 units

Total variable manufacturing costs = $318,120 ($12.05 * 26,400)

Fixed manufacturing overhead = $40,400

If the amount of beachfront land in Malibu supplied to the market remains the same even when the price of beachfront land in Malibu increases, the:_________.
a. demand for beachfront land in malibu must be perfectly inelastic,
b. supply of beachfront land in Malibu must be perfectly elastic.
c. demand for beachfront land in Malibu must be perfectly elastic.
d. supply of beachfront land in Malibu must be perfectly inelastic.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

Supply is perfectly inelastic if a small change in price has no effect on quantity supplied

Leelanau applies overhead using a predetermined rate. What amount of overhead was applied to work in process last year

Answers

Answer:

$138,500

Explanation:

The computation of the overhead applied is shown below:

As we know that

Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning WIP + Total manufacturing costs - Ending WIP

$323,000 = $10,500 + Total manufacturing costs - $19,000

So,  

Total manufacturing costs is

= ($323,000 + $19,000 - $10,500)

= $331,500

Now  

Total manufacturing costs is

= Direct materials + Direct labor + Overheads

So,  

Overheads is

= ($331,500 - $115,000 - $78,000)

= $138,500

The company plans to sets aside $1 million now into an account that earns interest equal to the rate of inflation. What will the inflation rate have to be in order for the company to have exactly the right amount of money for the expansion?
a) 4%
b) 2%
c) Unknown
d) 6%

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "Option a".

Explanation:

Given:

FV=1.17

PV=1

n=4

We are aware of a future value formula that  is:

[tex]FV = PV\times (1 + i)^n[/tex]

Put the value into the above formula:  

[tex]\to 1.17 = 1\times (1 + i)^{4}\\\\\to 1.04 = (1 + i)\\\\\to 1.04 -1 = i\\\\\to i=0.04\\\\[/tex]

Calculating the percentage of i= 4%

Therefore The rate of interest is equivalent to the inflation rate, which is projected predicted, according to global meta and experts, The Us will reach 5.70 percent even by conclusion of the this year. In the future, we anticipate that the inflation rate in the US is 3.20 in twelve months.
