Suppose that Congress enacts a major tax increase. At the same time, the Federal Reserve uses monetary policy in such a way that the combined effect of the tax increase and the monetary policy is that GDP does not change at all. Based on this information, explain clearly what the overall (short-run) effect?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Since GDP does not change, it means that Federal Reserve System undertook expansionary monetary policy to counteract the contractionary fiscal policy.

a. Investment - Expansionary monetary policy means fall in interest rate, so investment would rise.

b. The net effect would be that AD curve would not have changed (since output is constant), so price level remains the same.

c. Government would get surplus as government spending is same but tax revenue rose.

Biogenetics, Inc. plans to retain and reinvest all of their earnings for the next 30 years. Beginning in year 31, the firm will begin to pay a $30 per share dividend. The dividend will not subsequently change. Given a required return of 18%, what should the stock sell for today?

Answers

Answer:

the stock sell for today is $1.16

Explanation:

The calculation of the stock sell for today is as follows;

Value after year 31 is

= (D31 ÷ Required return)

= $30 ÷ 0.18

= $166.666667

Now the current value is  

= Future dividend and value × Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)

= $30 ÷ 1.18^31 + $166.666667 ÷ 1.18^31

= $1.16

Hence, the stock sell for today is $1.16

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

A perpetual bond with a par value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 7.75% has a current market price of $900. What is its yield to maturity

a. 9.32%
b. 8.33%
c. 7.92%
d. 9.45%
e. 8.61%

Answers

Answer: e. 8.61%

Explanation:

This is a perpetual bond so the price is calculable by;

Price = Coupon / Yield to Maturity

Coupon = 7.75% * 1,000

= $77.50

900 = 77.50/ YTM

900 * YTM = 77.50

YTM = 77.50/900

= 8.61%

Heridan Company is considering the following alternatives: Alternative AAlternative B Revenues$64000$72000 Variable costs 38400 38400 Fixed costs 10000 16000 What is the incremental profit?

Answers

Answer:

$2,000

Explanation:

To get the incremental profit, we would compute the profit for each alternatives and then subtract .

Alternative A

Incremental profit

= Revenues + Variable costs - Fixed costs

= $64,000 + $38,400 - $10,000

= $92,400

Alternative B

Incremental profit

= Revenues + Variable costs - Fixed costs

= $72,000 + $38,400 - $16,000

= $94,400

Incremental profit = Alternative B - Alternative A

Incremental profit = $94,400 - $92,400

Incremental profit = $2,000

If a trader buys an option at an implied volatility of 10%, and plans to delta hedge it, over the life of the option she hopes realized volatility will be lower than 10%. When hedging implied volatility through delta hedging is done, it means that the trader is expecting that volatility will decline and it has taken the position on the the downside of the implied volatility as it is reflected by the delta hedging. Delta hedging is not about betting on the upside of implied volatility.

A manual press costs $16,000, and it will be scrapped after 10 years. Compute the depreciation and book value for the first two years using 100% bonus depreciation.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation and the book value for the first two years would be

Depreciation for Year 1

= 100% Bonus + regular depreciation

= $16,000 + $16,000 ÷ 10 years

= $17,600

And,

Book value year 1 is

= $16,000 - $1,600

= $14,400

Now

Depreciation for Year 2 is

= Regular depreciation

= $1,600

And,

Book value year 2 is

= $14,400 - $1,600

= $12,800

Answers

Answer: $‭1,754,211

Explanation:

8% of $2,000,000 will be payable every year for 10 years;

= 2,000,000 * 8%

= $160,000

The amount received from selling the land is;

= Present value of interest payable annually + Present value of Note

= (160,000 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 10 years, 10%) + (2,000,000 * present value interest factor, 10 years, 10%)

= (160,000 * 6.14457) + (2,000,000 * 0.38554)

Answers

Answer:

Hulkster's 2021 profit margin is:

17.1%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                   2021          2020

Accounts receivable              $40,000     $36,000

Merchandise inventory         $28,000       35,000

Net sales                                190,000      186,000

Cost of goods sold                 114,000      108,000

Total assets                          425,000     405,000

Total shareholders' equity  240,000     225,000

Net income                            32,500        28,000

Profit margin = net income/net sales * 100

= $32,500/$190,000 * 100

= 17.1%

b) The profit margin of 17.1% indicates that Hulkster Company has generated an income of 17.1 cents for each dollar of sales.  It shows the company's income performance with relation to the net sales revenue.  It is a ratio of the net income expressed as a percentage of the sales.

Chez Fred Bakery estimates the allowance for uncollectible accounts at 3% of the ending balance of accounts receivable. During 2018, Chez Fred's credit sales and collections were $125,000 and $131,000, respectively. What was the balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2018, if $180 in accounts receivable were written off during 2018 and if the allowance account had a balance of $750 on December 31, 2018

Answers

Answer:

The balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2018 is $31,180.

Explanation:

The following are given in the question:

Percentage of allowance for uncollectible accounts = 3%

Credit sales = $125,000

Collections = $131,000

Amount written off = $180

Therefore, we have:

Account receivable on 31 December 2018 * 3% = $750

Account receivable on 31 December 2018 = $750 / 3% = $25,000

Accounts receivable on 01 January 2018 = Account receivable on 31 December 2018 - Credit sales + Collections + Amount written off = $25,000 - $125,000 + $131,000 + $180 = $31,180

Therefore, the balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2018 is $31,180.

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 2,800

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed csots= $140,000

Unitary variable cost= 80 - 10= $70

Selling price per unit= $120

To calculate the new break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 140,000 / (120 - 70)

Break-even point in units= 2,800

An appliance repair shop buys and uses about 4,212 fan motors annually. Holding cost is 27 dollars per motor per year, and ordering cost is 177 dollars per order. Determine the economic order quantity. Round your number to ZERO decimal point.

Answers

Answer:

15,251 units

Explanation:

The formula for Economic order quantity is;

EOQ = √2DS/H

Where,

D = Annual demand = 4,212

S = Ordering cost = $177

H = Holding cost = $27/4,212 = $0.00064102564

EOQ = √ 2 × 4,212 × $177 / $0.00064102564

EOQ = √ $1,491,048 / $0.00064102564

EOQ = √232603488.37

EOQ = 15,251 units

Kim's Bridal Shoppe has 10,200 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $36 per share. It also has 215 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a price of $87 per share. There are 520 bonds outstanding that have a coupon rate of 5.5 percent paid semiannually. The bonds mature in 17 years, have a face value of $1,000, and sell at 93 percent of par. What is the capital structure weight of the common stock?

Answers

Answer:

26.43 %

Explanation:

The Capital Structure is based on  the Market Weight of the Sources of Finance as shown below :

Equity market value = Number of shares × price/share

Equity market value  = 10,200 ×  $36

Equity market value = $367,200

Current debt value = Number of bonds × price/bond

Current debt value = 520 × (1930)

Current debt value = $1,003,600

Preferred stock value = Number of shares × price/share

Preferred stock value = 215 ×  $87

Preferred stock value = $18,705

Total capital = Common equity value + Debt value + Preferred stock value

Total capital = $367,200 + $1,003,600 + $18,705

Total capital = $1,389,505

Weight of Equity = Equity value / Total capital

Weight of Equity  = $367,200 / $1,389,505

Weight of Equity = 26.43 %

Suppose payments were made at the end of each month into an ordinary annuity earning interest at the rate of 4.5%/year compounded monthly. If the future value of the annuity after 11 years is $55,000, what was the size of each payment?

Answers

Answer:

The size of each payment was $322.78.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (1)

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount after 11 years = $55,000

M = Monthly payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = 4.5% / 12 = 0.045 / 12 = 0.00375

n = number of months = 11 years * 12 = 132

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

$55,000 = M * (((1 + 0.00375)^132 - 1) / 0.00375)

$55,000 = M * 170.394706737074

M = $55,000 / 170.394706737074

M = $322.779979808101

Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

M = $322.78

Therefore, the size of each payment was $322.78.

Consider an asset with a beta of 1.2, a risk-free rate of 4.4%, and a market return of 12.4%. What is the reward to risk ratio?

Answers

Answer: 8%

Explanation:

Reward to risk ratio = (Expected return - Risk free rate) / Beta

Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta * ( Market return - Risk free rate)

= 4.4% + 1.2 * (12.4% - 4.4%)

= 14%

Reward to risk ratio = (14% - 4.4%) / 1.2

Explain the actions the FED should take if it wanted to move from a point on the short-run Phillips curve representing high unemployment and low inflation to a point representing lower unemployment and higher inflation.

Answers

Answer:

The short run Phillips curve states that there is an inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation in the short run.

Since unemployment is high and the inflation rate is low, in order for the FED to decrease unemployment and increase inflation it must decrease the interest rate. That way, the economy should kick off and start growing which should decrease unemployment and at the same time will increase inflation.

Brace Corporation uses direct labor-hours as the cost driver in its normal costing system. Brace budgeted that it would use 21,600 direct-labor hours during the year. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 20,400 hours, the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $506,920, and Brace had $20,440 of underapplied overhead. The budgeted manufacturing overhead must have been: Round to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

total estimated overhead costs for the period= $515,095.2

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the allocated overhead:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

20,440 = 506,920 - allocated overhead

allocated overhead= $486,480

Now, we can determine the predetermined overhead rate:

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

486,480= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*20,400

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 486,480/20,400

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $23.847 per direct labor hour

Finally, the estimated overhead for the period:

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

23.847= total estimated overhead costs for the period/21,600

total estimated overhead costs for the period= 21,600*23.847

total estimated overhead costs for the period= $515,095.2
