Answer: -0.5
Explanation:
From the information given,
Demand curve = P = 600 – Q
Supply curve = P = 0.5Q
Equilibrium = Qd = Qs
Therefore, 600 - Q = 0.5Q
600 = Q + 0.5Q
600 = 1.5Q
Q = 600/1.5
Q = 400
Since P = 600 - Q
P = 600 - 400
P = 200
Price elasticity will be:
= (dQ/dP) × (P/Q)
=(-1) × (200/400).
= -1 × 0.5
= -0.5
The price elasticity is -0.5
Suppose that the government imposes a new $1 per-unit tax on the (2pts) production of soft drinks. The result would be a(n)_________in the equilibrium price of soft drinks and a(n) _________in the equilibrium quantity of soft drinks.
a. decrease; increase
b. increase; decrease
c. decrease; decrease
d. increase; increase
Answer:
b. increase; decrease
Explanation:
In the case when the government impose the $1 per tax unit for the soft drinks production so it should increased the equilibrium price but at the same time it decreased the equibrium quantity as the price and the demand have an inverse relationship that represent the law of demand
So as per the given situation, the option b is correct
Compute the value of price elasticity of supply. If the percentage in quantity supply is 75% and percentage change in price is 55%.
Answer:
Price elasticity of supply = 1.36%
Explanation:
Given the following data;
percentage in quantity supply = 75%
percentage change in price = 55%.
To find the the value of price elasticity of supply;
A price elasticity of supply (PES) can be defined as a measure of the responsiveness of the quantity of a product supplied with respect to a change in price of the product, all things being equal.
Mathematically, the price elasticity of supply is given by the formula;
[tex] Price \; elasticity \; of \; supply = \frac {Percentage \; change \; in \; supply}{Percentage \; change \; in \; price} [/tex]
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] Price \; elasticity \; of \; supply = \frac {75}{55} [/tex]
Price elasticity of supply = 1.36%
Therefore, the degree of elasticity is said to be elastic because the price elasticity of supply (PES) is greater than 1.

Engler Company purchases a new delivery truck for $60,000. The sales taxes are $4,000. The logo of the company is painted on the side of the truck for $1,600. The truck license is $160. The truck undergoes safety testing for $290. What does Engler record as the cost of the new truck? Group of answer choices $66,050 $65,890 $64,000 $65,600
Answer: $65,890
Explanation:
When it comes to capitalizing fixed assets, every cost that was incurred to get the fixed asset ready for use will be included in the cost price.
The cost price here is therefore;
= Cost price + Sales taxes + Logo + safety testing
= 60,000 + 4,000 + 1,600 + 290
= $65,890
In June, one of the processing departments at Furbush Corporation had ending work in process inventory of $12,000.

a) $842,000
b) $46,000
c) $876,000
d) $438,000
Answer:
d) $438,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what In the department’s cost reconciliation report for June, the total cost accounted for would be:
Using this formula
Total cost accounted for = Cost of ending work in process inventory + Cost of units transferred out
Let plug in the formula
Total cost accounted for=$12,000+$426,000
Total cost accounted for=$438,000
Therefore In the department’s cost reconciliation report for June, the total cost accounted for would be: $438,000
The political environment in India has proven to be critical to company performance for both PepsiCo and Coca-Cola India. What specifi c aspects of the political environment have played key roles?
Answer:
Explanation:
The political environment in India have played key role in company performance of PepsiCo and Coca-Cola India as follow:
- The Indian government viewed as unfriendly to foreign investors especially those who want to invest in other sectors apart from high tech sectors.
- Outside investment had been allowed only in high-tech sectors and was almost entirely prohibited in consumer goods sectors. The The “Principle of Indigenous Availability” (Policy banning imports being sold in India)
- Distribution Arrangements - Production plants and bottling centers were strategically placed in large cities all around India. They were more added as demand grew, along with new product lines. In Coca-Cola’s case, the JV with Parle provided access to its bottling plants and its products. By forming partnerships, both Coca-Cola and Pepsi were able to get initial access into the market.
After a product recall triggered by salmonella contamination and repeated violation citations by the health department, Mc Burger Inc. is considering introduction of its first brand of soy-based gourmet burgers, Healthylicious-n-Safe. Each box of Healthylicious-n-Safe contains 8 burgers (similar to other meatless burger brands). An extensive marketing research undertaken by the firm indicated that there is a growing demand in the meatless burger market, with annual projected sales of 1,250,000 boxes (Note that this is the demand in the total meatless burger market and not the demand for the Healthylicious-n-Safe brand).
Mc Burger estimates that it will incur a fixed cost of $35,000/month. The variable cost of making one burger is estimated to be $0.875. Mc Burger plans to run a promotional campaign in the first 12 months of product introduction, which is estimated to cost a total of $275,000. Based on its marketing research Mc Burger expects an average customer to pay $9.00 for a box of Healthylicious-n-Safe.
Required:
Do you think Mc Burger should launch this new product? Is Mc Burger likely to break-even in 12 months? Is Mc Burger likely to break-even in 18 months?
Answer:
McBurger Inc.
Introduction of Healthylicious-n-Safe
I think that McBurger should launch this new product. If McBurger can capture more than 28% of the meatless burger market, it can break-even in 12 months and start earning huge profits in 18 months when there will be nil promotion costs.
Explanation:
Annual projected market sales of meatless burger = 1,250,000 boxes
Content of each box of Healthylicious-n-Safe = 8 burgers
Fixed cost per month = $35,000
Total annual fixed cost = $420,000 ($35,000 * 12)
Estimated variable cost of making one burger = $0.875
Estimated variable cost of a box of 8 burgers = $7 ($0.875 * 8)
Cost of promotional campaign in the first 12 months = $275,000
Total annual fixed cost including promotions = $695,000
Expected selling price per box of Healthylicious-n-Safe = $9
Estimated variable cost per box of Healthylicious-n-Safe 7
Contribution margin per box of Healthylicious-n-Safe = $2
Sales units required to break-even = Total fixed costs/Contribution margin per box
= $695,000/$2 = 347,500 boxes
This sales units break-even point represents 27.8% of the meatless burger market (347,500/1,250,000 * 100)

a. Issued by nonfederal government entities, these financial instruments are debt securities that fund their capital expenditures. They are exempt from most taxes imposed in the area where the securities are issued.
b. Issued by corporations, these unsecured debt instruments are used to fund corporate short-term financing requirements. If issued by a financially strong company, they have less risk.
c. These financial instruments are investment pools that buy such short-term debt instruments as Treasury bills (T-bills), certificates of deposit (CDs), and commercial paper. They can be easily liquidated. These financial instruments are contractual agreements that give one party a long-term agreement to use an asset by providing regular payments.
Which of the following instruments are traded in the capital markets?
a. Eurodollar time deposits
b. Bankers' acceptances
c. Treasury bills
d. Commercial paper
e. Common stocks
Answer:
a). State and local government bonds (municipal bond)
b. Certificate of Deposit
c). Corporate bonds
Explanation:
The municipal bonds are a debt security are a from of debt security that is issued by the municipality or the state in order to finance the capital expenditures. They are exempted from most of the taxes that are imposed in that area.
Certificate of Deposit is defined as the savings account which holds a fixed amount of money. They are used to fund a short term financing requirements in a corporate.
The corporate bonds are financial instruments which are considered as an investment pools which buy a short term debt instruments. These instruments are in contractual agreements which provide a long term agreement to a party to use the asset.
Other things equal, the deadweight loss of a tax Group of answer choices decreases as the size of the tax increases. increases as the size of the tax increases, but the increase in the deadweight loss is less rapid than the increase in the size of the tax. increases as the size of the tax increases, and the increase in the deadweight loss is more rapid than the increase in the size of the tax. increases as the price elasticities of demand and/or supply increase, but the deadweight loss does not change as the size of the tax increases.
Answer:
increase as the size of the tax increase, and the increase in the deadweight loss is more rapid than the increase in the size of the tax.
Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
The different types of tax include the following;
1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.
2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.
3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.
Other things being equal (ceteris paribus), the deadweight loss (loss of economic efficiency due to a lack of balance in competing economical influences for goods or services) of a tax increase as the size of the tax increase, and the increase in the deadweight loss is more rapid than the increase in the size of the tax.
The total cost of ownership (TCO) is categorized into three broad areas of costs: acquisition costs, ownership costs, and post-ownership costs. Which one of the costs is often overemphasized that frequently results in a failure to address other two costs
Answer:
Acquisition cost
Explanation:
The total cost of ownership can be defined as an estimate that helps people trying to get a product or service to know the direct and indirect costs of such. The acquisition cost is often times overemphasized, it is the total incurred for getting the product or the service. This cost is what causes a failure to address both the ownership cost and the post ownership cost.

An unfunded pension liability is reported on the balance sheet as a(n) a.current liability or a long-term liability, depending upon when the pension liability is to be paid. b.long-term liability. c.current liability. d.owners' equity.
Answer:
A)current liability or a long-term liability, depending upon when the pension liability is to be paid
Explanation:
Unfunded pension plans can be regarded as plans that do not have
any assets set aside, in this case,
retirement benefits are usually paid from employer contributions directly. The set up of the retirement accounts can be by companies or governments.
Unfunded Liability = [( Value of Pension Fund Assets invested ) -[ ( present value of all future liabilities to pay pensions)]
After using this formula, if the gotten
result is less than "zero" then pension plan can be regarded as "underfunded"
It should be noted that An unfunded pension liability is reported on the balance sheet as a current liability or a long-term liability, depending upon when the pension liability is to be paid.
Russell Preston delivers parts for several local auto parts stores. He charges clients $0.75 per mile driven. Russell has determined that if he drives 3,000 miles in a month, his average operating cost is $0.55 per mile. If he drives 4,000 miles in a month, his average operating cost is $0.50 per mile. Russell has used the high-low method to determine that his monthly cost equation is total cost = $600 + $0.35 per mile.
Required:
1. Determine how many miles Russell needs to drive to break even k-Even Miles Miles.
2. Assume Russell drove 1,800 miles last month. Without making any additional calculations, determine whether he earned a profit or a loss last month.
3. Determine how many miles Russell must drive to earn $1,000 in profit.
Answer:
Russell Preston
1. The miles Russell needs to drive to break even is:
= 1,500 miles.
2. If Russel drove 1,800 miles last month, he earned a profit.
3. To earn a profit of $1,000, the miles Russell must drive are:
= 4,000 miles
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per mile driven = $0.75
Average operating cost for driving 3,000 miles = $0.55 per mile
Total operating cost for 3,000 miles = $1,650 ($3,000 * $0.55)
Average operating cost for driving 4,000 miles = $0.50 per mile
Total operating for 4,000 miles = $2,000 (4,000 * $0.50)
Total cost function = $600 + $0.35 per mile using the high-low method
Variable cost per mile = $0.35
Fixed cost per month = $600
Contribution margin per mile = $0.40 ($0.75 - $0.35)
Contribution margin ratio = 0.5333
To break-even, Russel must drive = $600/$0.40 = 1,500 miles
At this mileage, his total costs = $1,125 ($600 + $0.35 * 1,500)
At this mileage, his total revenue = $1,125 ($0.75 * 1,500)
To earn a profit of $1,000, Russell must drive = ($600 + $1,000)/$0.40
= 4,000 miles
Suppose that Musashi, an economist from an AM talk radio program, and Rina, an economist from a university in Massachusetts, are arguing over health insurance. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Rina: A popular topic for debate among politicians as well as economists is the idea of providing government assistance for health benefits.
Musashi: I think it is oppressive for the government to tax people who take care of themselves in order to pay for health insurance for those who are obese.
Rina: I disagree. I think government funding of health insurance is useful to ensure basic fairness.
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to:
a. Differences in scientific judgments
b. Differences in Values
c. Differences between perception VS. reality
Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
a. Lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials.
b. Minimum wage laws do more to harm low-skilled workers than help them.
c. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.
Answer:
b. Differences in Valuesc. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.Explanation:
Economists are known to disagree with each other a lot especially when they adhere to different economic theories such as the Neoclassic or Keynesian theories. In this case, these economists having opposing viewpoints in relation to what the government is doing in regards to health insurance is most probably due to different economic values they hold.
Regardless of the values they subscribe to however, most economists usually support certain propositions and one of them is free trade. They believe that the presence of tariffs and import quotas serve to reduce economic welfare as there are deadweight losses and things are more expensive for consumers.
Time series are particularly useful to track variables such as revenues, costs, and profits over time. Time series models help evaluate performance and make predictions. Consider the following and respond in a minimum of 175 words: Time series decomposition seeks to separate the time series (Y) into 4 components: trend (T), cycle (C), seasonal (S), and irregular (I). What is the difference between these components
Answer:
Trend (T): This is a secular trend, which refers to the movement across time.
Cycle (C): These are cyclical swings that correspond to seasonal but not periodical variations.
Seasonal (S): These are seasonal shifts represented by seasonal variations.
Irregular (I): These are irregular variations, which are a different type of nonrandom cause of series variations.
Explanation:
A time series is a collection of data points that have been indexed (or listed or graphed) in chronological sequence.
The difference between the components can explained as follows:
Trend (T): This is a secular trend, which refers to the movement across time. A trend in data is a pattern that demonstrates the movement of a series to progressively higher or lower values over time. To put it another way, a trend can be seen when the time series has a rising or decreasing slope. A trend usually lasts for a short period of time before dissipating; it does not occur again.
Cycle (C): These are cyclical swings that correspond to seasonal but not periodical variations. The term cycle refers to recurring fluctuations in time series that persist longer than a year, sometimes up to 15 or 20 years. In terms of amplitude and length, these variations aren't regular. The majority of business time series show some form of cyclical or oscillatory fluctuation.
Seasonal (S): These are seasonal shifts represented by seasonal variations. Seasonal fluctuation may be present in time series data. Seasonal variation, often known as seasonality, refers to cycles that occur on a regular basis over time. Seasonal variation refers to a recurring pattern within each year, though it can also refer to patterns that repeat across any specified period.
Irregular (I): These are irregular variations, which are a different type of nonrandom cause of series variations. The polar opposite of a regular time series is an irregular time series. The data in the time series is organized in a chronological order, however measurements may not occur at regular intervals. The operator may produce unexpected or suboptimal results if the time series is erratic.
The United Nations Human Development Report gives the following data for real GDP per person in 2014: China, $12,547; Russia, $22,352; Canada, $42,155; United States, $52,947.
Other information suggests that household production is similar in Canada and the United States and smaller than in China and Russia. The underground economy is larger in Russia and China and a similar proportion of each of these economies. Canadians and Americans enjoy more leisure hours than do the Chinese and Russians. Canada and the United States spend significantly more on the environment than do China and Russia. In which pair (or pairs) of countries is it easiest to compare the standard of living?
And in which pair (or pairs) is it most difficult? Explain why?
Answer:
B. between China and Russia or between Canada and the United States, because household production, the underground economy, leisure hours, and the environment are similar in each pair
Explanation:
The standard of living can be easily compared ______. A. between China and Canada because they have a similar land size B. between China and Russia or between Canada and the United States, because household production, the underground economy, leisure hours, and the environment are similar in each pair C. among none of the four countries because they are too different D. between Russia and the United States because they are both super powers E. among all four countries because real GDP per person includes a reliable measure of income, household production, the underground economy, leisure hours, and the environment
Real Per capita GDP measures the standard of living of the people in a country. The higher the Real Per capita GDP, the higher the standard of living
Real Per capita GDP = Real GDP / population
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
Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
some items are not perfectly measured by GDP. They include
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
Because GDP does not measure underground economy (illegal activities) , leisure , it would be difficult to compare either pair of countries

Congratulations! Today is your 20th birthday, but you are starting with nothing in the bank. You just started working full-time, earning $50,000 per year. Your goal is to have $5 million by your 60th birthday (i.e., 40 years from today). Your employer offers a 401(k) plan (contributions by you are tax deductible, growth is tax deferred), and within that plan you choose to invest in an extreme low-cost S&P 500 index mutual fund (like ones offered by Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, etc.). The long-term expected return on the S&P 500 index mutual fund is 10% per year. Your employer pays you monthly.
Required:
a. Ignoring taxes, if the employer offers no match on your contributions, how much would you need to save every month to reach your goal?
b. Ignoring taxes, if the employer offers a 10% match on your contributions, how much would you need to save every month on top of your match to reach your goal?
c. Assume your Federal marginal tax rate is 24% and State marginal tax rate is 6%. What is the answer to question (b) on an after-tax basis (i.e., how much do you have to contribute every month after the employer match and net of tax savings)?
Answer:
A) $790.63
B) $718.75
C) $503.13
Explanation:
a. Interest rate = 10%, monthly rate = 10%/12 = 0.10/12
Number of years = 60-20 = 40 years = 40*12 = 480 months
Goal = FV = 5,000,000
The monthly savings needed if employers offers no match =PMT(rate,nper,pv,fv) =PMT(0.10/12,480,0,5000000)
= $790.63
b. If employer offers a 10% match.
Then monthly savings needed
= 790.63/1.10
= 718.75
Monthly savings needed with 10% match by employer
= $718.75
c. Tax savings are 24%+6% = 30%.
So on the contribution of 718.75, you save a 30% tax. So. tax savings = 718.75*0.30 = $ 215.63
So, monthly contribution taking into account tax savings and employer match
= 718.75 -215.62
= $503.13
On January 1, the total market value of the Tysseland Company was $60 million. During the year, the company plans to raise and invest $30 million in new projects. The firm's present market value capital structure, shown below, is considered to be optimal. Assume that there is no short-term debt.
Debt $30,000,000
Common equity 30,000,000
Total capital $60,000,000
New bonds will have an 10% coupon rate, and they will be sold at par. Common stock is currently selling at $30 a share. The stockholders' required rate of return is estimated to be 12%, consisting of a dividend yield of 4% and an expected constant growth rate of 8%. (The next expected dividend is $1.20, so $1.20/$30 = 4%). The marginal corporate tax rate is 30%. In order to maintain the present capital structure, how much of the new investment must be financed by common equity?
Assuming there is sufficient cash flow such that Tysseland can maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, what is its WACC?
Suppose now that there is not enough internal cash flow and the firm must issue new shares of stock. Qualitatively speaking, what will happen to the WACC?
I. rs and the WACC will increase due to the flotation costs of new equity.
II. rs and the WACC will decrease due to the flotation costs of new equity.
III. rs will increase and the WACC will decrease due to the flotation costs of new equity.
IV. rs will decrease and the WACC will increase due to the flotation costs of new equity.
V. rs and the WACC will not be affected by flotation costs of new equity.
Answer:
Tysseland Company
1. In order to maintain the present capital structure, the new investment must be financed by common equity to the tune of $15 million (50% of $30 million).
2. Assuming there is sufficient cash flow such that Tysseland can maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, its WACC = 9.5%
3. IV. rs will decrease and the WACC will increase due to the flotation costs of new equity.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total market capitalization = $60 million
Debt Common Equity Total
Market value $30,000,000 $30,000,000 $60,000,000
Weight 50% 50% 100%
New financing 15,000,000 15,000,000 30,000,000
New market cap. $45,000,000 $45,000,000 $90,000,000
Coupon rate of new bonds issued at par = 10%
Selling price of common stock = $30 per share
Stock's required rate of return = 12%
Estimated Dividend yield = 4%
Expected constant growth rate = 8%
Expected dividend per share = $1.20 ($30 * 4%)
Corporate tax rate = 30%
Cost of Equity = the stockholders' required rate of return = 12% or
= (Dividend/Price) + g (growth rate)
= ($1.20/$30) + 0.08
= 12%
After-Tax Cost of Debt = Before Tax Cost of Debt × (1-Tax Rate)
10 × (1 - 0.3)= 7%
WACC = (Weight of Equity × Cost of Equity) + (Weight of Debt × After Tax Cost of Debt)
(0.5 × 12%) + (0.5 × 7%) = 9.5%

Compare the three-week moving average forecast with the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. Which appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE?
Answer:
a. We have:
MSE: 63.03
The forecast for week 7: 15.33
b. We have:
MSE: 47.49
The forecast for week 7: 16.35
c. The exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE.
Explanation:
a. Develop the three-week moving average forecasts for this time series. Compute MSE and a forecast for week 7 (to 2 decimals if necessary).
Note: See Part a of the attached excel file for the Calculations of Forecast, Error, and Error^2.
From the attached excel file, we can have:
MSE = Mean squared error = Total of Error^2 / Number of observation under the Error^2 = 252.11 / 4 = 63.03
The forecast for week 7 = 15.33
b. Use = 0.2 to compute the exponential smoothing values for the time series. Compute MSE and a forecast for week 7.
Note: See Part b of the attached excel file for the Calculations of Forecast, Error, and Error^2.
From the attached excel file, we can have:
MSE = Mean squared error = Total of Error^2 / Number of observation under the Error^2 = 284.96 / 6 = 47.49
The forecast for week 7 = 16.35
Note that under exponential smoothing, forecast for week 2 has to be the Time Series Value for week 1.
b. Compare the three-week moving average forecast with the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. Which appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE?
Since 47.49 MSE of the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2 is less than 63.03 MSE of the three-week moving average forecast, it implies that the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE.
you are planning for your retirement and have decided the following: you will retire in 35 years and would like to have $8,000 per month as retirement income for 30 years of retirement. you have access to an account that earns a 7% rate of return. a. how much will you need to have when you retire to be able to withdraw the desired $8,000 per month during your years of retirement
Answer:
Amount needed to have in account = 99272
Explanation:
Below are the calculations:
Annual income after retirement, annuity = $8000
The time period or the retirement life = 30 years
The Interest rate earned by account = 7%
The amount in the account at the time of retirement = Annuity (P/A, r, n)
The amount in the account at the time of retirement = 8000 (P/A, 7%, 30)
The amount in the account at the time of retirement = 8000 x 12.409
The amount in the account at the time of retirement = 99272
You just inherited a trust that will pay you $100,000 per year in perpetuity. However, the first payment will not occur for exactly five more years. Assuming a 10% annual interest rate, what is the value of this trust?
Answer:
PV= $620,921.32
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow (Cf)= $100,000
Interest rate (i)= 7.25%
First, we need to calculate the value of the investment at the moment of the first payment (five years from now). To calculate the present value we need to use the following formula:
PV= Cf / i
PV= 100,000 / 0.1
PV= $1,000,000
Now, the value today:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 1,000,000 / (1.1^5)
PV= $620,921.32
State 3 arguments in favor of protectionism (in favor of trade restrictions). Please state your own opinion about the validity of each one and whether you support such argument.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Protectionism refers to the restriction of international trade by the government in order to help the domestic industries. The argument in favor of protectionism include:
• Protection of infant industries: Protectionism protects infant industries as they're protected from being subjected to unfair competition and therefore allowed to thrive.
• To prevent dumping and unfair competition
• Revenue generation for government: Through the imposition of tariffs and other policies by the government to protect domestic industries, the government also generates revenue which can be used to improve the economy.
I believe the arguments are valid and I support them.
Ken's home has a replacement value of $200,000. Ken insured the home for $150,000 under an unendorsed Homeowners 3 policy. The roof of Ken's home was damaged by a windstorm. The replacement cost of the damaged roof is $16,000. The actual cash value of the loss is $12,000. How much will Ken receive from his insurer to settle this claim
Answer: $15,000
Explanation:
Using a Homeowners 3 policy, Ken will get the higher amount out of two amounts which are:
The actual cash value of the damaged area. An amount calculated as follows:= (Amount of Insurance cover on home / 80% of Replacement Cost) * Cost of Repair to damaged area.
The actual cash value is $12,000
The second amount is:
= (Amount of Insurance cover on home / 80% of Replacement Cost) * Cost of Repair to damaged area.
= 150,000 / (80% * 200,000) * 16,000
= 0.9375 * 16,000
= $15,000
Ken will receive the higher amount of $15,000.
Bermuda Cruises issues only common stock and coupon bonds. The firm has a debt–equity ratio of .73. The cost of equity is 11.5 percent and the pretax cost of debt is 6.6 percent. What is the capital structure weight of the firm's equity if the firm's tax rate is 39 percent?
Answer:
0.5780
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the capital structure weight of the firm's equity
Using this formula
Weight of equity = 1 / (1 + D-E)
Let plug in the formula
Weight of equity = 1 / (1 + .73)
Weight of equity = 1 / 1.73
Weight of equity = 0.5780
Therefore the capital structure weight of the firm's equity is 0.5780
The following standards have been established for a raw material used to make product O84: Standard quantity of the material per unit of output 8.6 meters Standard price of the material $ 19.80 per meter The following data pertain to a recent month's operations: Actual material purchased 4,900 meters Actual cost of material purchased $ 101,430 Actual material used in production 4,600 meters Actual output 650 units of product O84 The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. Required:
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (19.8 - 20.7)*4,900
Direct material price variance= $4,410 unfavorable
Actual price= 101,430/4,900= $20.7
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (8.6*650 - 4,600)*19.8
Direct material quantity variance= $19,602 favorable
