Answer: 22.71 million
Explanation:
The labor force refers to both the employed and unemployed populations of a country. In other words it comprises of those who are working and those who are not working but are able to and are currently seeking employment.
Labor force = Unemployed + Employed
= 3.4 + 1.72 + 4.4 + 13.19
= 22.71 million
Those who have not looked for work in sex weeks and above are not considered unemployed.
Part time employees are considered employed.
You took ACC111 where the Owner's Equity section consisted of Capital and Owner's Withdrawals. Now that you've seen the corporate structure of the Owner's Equity section, how do the individual items in the Sole Proprietor's Equity section translate to the Corporate Equity section? For example, Revenues are closed out into Capital for Sole Proprietor, Where does it go for Corporate?
Answer:
Revenues are closed out to Equity (Retained Earnings) for Corporate.
Explanation:
Actually, for both Sole Proprietor and Corporate, the account that is closed out to Capital or Equity is the difference between the Revenue and the Expenses for the accounting period. This is more specifically referred to as Net Income. This is the bottom-line profit, which is available for distribution to the owners of the entity in the form of capital withdrawals for Sole Proprietorships and dividends for Corporate entities.
A stock has a market price of $25 and a standard deviation of returns of 24 percent. The $25 call option matures in 4 months and the risk-free rate is 2.89 percent. N(d1) is .555198 and N(d2) is .500096. What is the value of the call option per share of stock
Answer:
$334.38
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the value of call option
Value of call option = ( N ( [tex]d_{1}[/tex] ) S ) - N ( [tex]d_{2}[/tex] ) K [tex]e^{rt}[/tex]
Where
S = $25
N(d1) = 0.555198
N(d2) = 0.500096
K = 25
r = 2.89%
t = 4/12 = 0.3333
Placing values in the formula
Value of call option = ((0.555198 x $25 ) x $25) - ( 0.500096 x $25 ) x 1.00967891
Value of call option = $346.99875 - $12.62340
Value of call option = $334.37535
Value of call option = $334.38

how van an oligopoly cause market failure (8)
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
An oligopoly can cause market failure because companies that form the oligopoly do not allow other companies to enter and compete in the market. This action limits consumers to choose from a variety of options, including quality, the best price, and service.
Often, oligopoly associates the strongest or more powerful companies in order to wipe out other minor competitors. They want to establish a dominant presence that affects prices and consumers participation.
Oligopoly practices result in inefficiency and instability in the market. That is why oligopolies are not good for the economy.
The automobile industry is mostly associated with an oligopoly.
When a market is controlled by just a few numbers of companies, but none of them is above the others, we are talking about an oligopoly. They can collude intentionally or not, to establish prizes and to not let other companies compete with them.
The largest item of the Deferred Tax Liability for most companies is caused by:________.
a. providing the allowance for doubtful accounts for book purposes.
b. differences in inventory cost flow assumptions (FIFO vs. LIFO) for tax versus financial accounting purposes.
c. differences in depreciation methods (accelerated vs. straight-line) for tax versus financial accounting purposes.
d. amortizing bond premium or discount for tax purposes.
Answer: c. differences in depreciation methods (accelerated vs. straight-line) for tax versus financial accounting purposes.
Explanation:
A Deferred tax liability arises as a result of the tax authorities using a different accounting convention from the business. This leads to a situation where the company records more tax than the tax authorities do so the company will recognize the extra tax as a liability until it is paid.
The main cause of this is the difference in depreciation methods. The tax authorities use an accelerated method which would lead to a lower profit in early years which would translate to a lower tax. The company on the other hand would use straight line depreciation and calculate a higher tax. The difference is called the deferred tax liability.
Juanita worked hard all year so that she could go to nursing school the following year. She put her savings into a mutual fund that paid a nominal interest rate of 4 percent a year. The CPI was 252 at the beginning of the year and 257 at the end of the year. What was the real interest rate that Juanita earned?
Answer:
1.98%
Explanation:
Inflation rate = (CPI at the end of the year / CPI at the beginning of the year) - 1
(257 / 252) - 1 = 0.01984 = 1.984%
(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + inflation rate) (1 + real interest rate)
1.04 = 1.01984 x (1 + real interest rate)
(1 + real interest rate) = (1.04 / 1.01984) - 1 = 1.98%

The Real Option Inc. is considering a new project. It believes that each year it would be able to sell 15 units at a $300,000 per-unit after-tax profit (i.e., per-unit operating cash flow) for the next five years. A $14.8 million initial investment will be required at the beginning of the project. The appropriate discount rate is 16 percent.
Required:
Calculate the base-case NPV of this project.
Answer:
NPV = $10.708 million
Explanation:
The base case NPV is that calculated by discounting the after-tax cash flow by the cost of equity based on asset beta. The base-case NPV does not consider the financing effect of the any particular finance source used to fund the project.
NPV = PV of cash inflow - Initial outlay
After-tax cash flow = 300,000×15= 4.5 million
PV of cash inflow = cash inflow × A × (1- (1+r)^(-n)/r
4.5 ×( 1- (1.16^-5)/0.16= 25.508 million
NPV = PV of cash inflow - Initial outlay
NPV = 25.508 million - 14.8 million
NPV = $10.708 million

3. 661,241 170,000 9% ____
4. 540,000 78,557 ___ 8
5. 230,000 _____________ 10% 4
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given question:
Explanation:
For point 1:
[tex]Annuity\ Amount= \$2,600\\\\i=8\%\\\\n=5\\\\Present\ Value=?[/tex]
Our table shows that the factor is equal at 3.99271 for 8 percent and 5 periods. In addition to this, the present value is $10,381 dollars in the annuity.
For point 2:
[tex]Present \ Value=507,866\\\\ Annuity \ Amount= 135,000\\\\ i =?\\\\n =4[/tex]
[tex]\text{Present Value of Ordinary Annuity = Annuity Amount} \times PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
[tex]507,866 = 135,000 \times PVOA \ Factor\\\\\frac{507,866}{135,000} = PVOA \ Factor\\\\3.76197 = PVOA\ Factor[/tex]
When looking at our n=4 row table, we notice that perhaps the factor of PVOA is equal to 3,56197 whenever the rate is equal to 2,5%.
For point 3:
[tex]Present\ Value=661,241\\\\ Annuity\ Amount= 170,000\\\\ i = 9\% \\\\n =?[/tex]
[tex]\text{Present Value of Ordinary Annuity = Annuity Amount} \times PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
[tex]661,241 = 170,000 \times PVOA\ Factor \\\\\frac{661,241}{170,000} = PVOA \ Factor\\\\3.88965 = PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
If you really are looking at our table in column i = 9%, we found PVOA is 3.88965 if n is 5.
For point 4:
[tex]Present\ Value= 540,000 \\\\Annuity \ Amount=78,557\\\\ i = ?\\\\n =8[/tex]
[tex]\text{Present Value of Ordinary Annuity = Annuity Amount} \times PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
[tex]540,000 = 78,557 \times PVOA\ Factor\\\\\frac{540,000}{78,557} = PVOA \ Factor\\\\6.873989 = PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
If you verify our table for n = 8 lines, the PVOA factor is approximately 6.87399 when the rate of interest is 3.5 percent.
For point 5:
[tex]Present\ Value=230,000\\\\ Annuity\ Amount=?\\\\ i =10\%\\\\ n =4[/tex]
The PVOA factor is 3.16997 when we search our table with i = 10% and n = 4.
[tex]230,000 = Annuity \ Amount \times 3.16987\\\\\frac{230,000}{3.16987} = Annuity\ Amount\\\\72,558 = Annuity\ Amount\\\\annuity\ total= \$72,558.[/tex]
A service provided by a business to the final user is known as:
consideration.
investments.
implied warranty.
economic services.
capital goods.
Answer:
economic services.
Explanation:
An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.
Hence, a region's or country's economy is largely dependent on how resources are being allocated and utilized, how many goods and services are to be produced, what should be produced, for whom they are to be produced for and how much money are to be spent by the consumers to acquire these goods and services.
Basically, there are four (4) main types of economy and these are;
I. Mixed economy.
II. Free market economy.
III. Traditional economy.
IV. Command economy.
A service provided by a business to the final user is known as economic services.
Basically, economic services are considered to be intangible, inconsistent and perishable in nature. Thus, some examples of economic services are banking, hospitality, transportation, telecommunication, marketing, legal, rentals, insurance, security, public relations, etc.
WatchNU is a company that designs and manufacturers drones for military use. The supply manager is getting ready to renegotiate the contract with the security service provider that it uses for its offices and manufacturing plant. Three suppliers responded to the RFP for security services for the next three years. The current security services provider, SecureIT quoted $945,000 per year. Two suppliers that have not been used by WatchNU in the past quoted $1,048,000 and $1,056,000 respectively. The supply manager is also analyzing the costs associated with insourcing security services rather than using a supplier as a way to reduce costs and provide greater control over security. The salary and benefits for a full-time security services manager is estimated to be $99,000. Other fixed costs are estimated to be $29,000/year. Three security guards are needed 24 hours/day, 365 days per year. The salary and benefits for the security guards is $34/hour.
Required:
What are the costs to insource the security services?
Answer:
Variable Cost $893,520
Fixed Cost $128,000
Total Cost $1,021,520
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the costs to insource the security services
VARIABLE COST
Using this formula
Variable cost =Total Quantity of Output x Variable Cost Per Unit
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost =3* ($34/hour x 24 hours/day x 365 days per year)
Variable cost = $893,520
FIXED COST
Using this formula
Fixed cost=Salary and Benefits for a full time security service manager+Other Fixed Costs
Let plug in the formula
Fixed cost=($99,000) + ($29,000)
Fixed cost= $128,000
TOTAL COST
Using this formula
Total Cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost
Let plug in the formula
Total Cost=($893,520) + ($128,000)
Total Cost= $1,021,520
Therefore the costs to insource the security services will be:
Variable Cost $893,520
Fixed Cost $128,000
Total Cost $1,021,520
According to the growth accounting studies, if you lived in a country where illiteracy was high and 40% of the children left school early and did not complete their education what would probably be the results for that country?

b. There would be both a human and economic loss.
c. The economic status of the country would continue to rise.
d. More technological breakthroughs would happen in this country.
Answer:
b. There would be both a human and economic loss.
Explanation:
In the case when the illiteracy was more and 40% of the children left the school so early that they didnt complete their education so here the result should be that there should be 2 losses i.e. human and economic loss as the children does not have any kind of knowledge so they would not get the job so easily
Therefore the option b is correct
GHI Corporation, a California corporation, has a six-person board. At a regular board meeting, only two directors attend. No notice was sent to any of the directors. The two attending call directors Alice and Bob and put them on a conference call. The four talk about the corporation buying Blackacre and then all agree to a resolution for GHI to buy Blackacre from Third Party. The Bylaws of GHI state that an action of the board requires the consent of a majority of the directors present at a meeting, and that a quorum is a majority of the authorized directors.
Select one:
a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and a majority of those present approved the action.
b. the purchase is not authorized, since all real estate transactions require shareholder approval
c. the purchase is not authorized because prior written notice must be sent to each director
d. the purchase is not authorized because a quorum was not present at the board meeting
e. Two of the above are correct.
Answer:
a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and a majority of those present approved the action.
Explanation:
going by the bye laws of GHI state, board action requires that majority of the members of the board are present and give consent in the meeting. here in this question, we have a 6 member board. Although only two of the board members are physically present, through conference call Alice and Bob increased the number to 2 when they joined in. Therefore the number of board members at this meeting is 4, then the requirement has been met. So since this 4 agreed to the purchase, it is authorized and valid since a quorum was present and a majority of them agreed to the action. option a is correct
The correct statement is a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and, a majority of those present approved the action.
The quorum required by the Bylaws of GHI is for a majority of directors to be present, and in this case, four directors were present (two physically and two by conference call).
The Bylaws of GHI specify that every action of the directors should be supported by a majority present at a meeting. We can conclude that the purchase is authorized by the majority (100%).
Thus, the purchase of Blackacre by GHI is authorized.

The nominal interest rate in the U.S. is 5% and the nominal interest rate in Canada is 3%. The spot value of the U.S. dollar is 1 ($/Canadian dollar) and the forward rate is 1.2 ($/Canadian dollar). Which of the following is not true?A. The interest parity condition does not hold.
B. The dollar is likely to appreciate in spot markets.
C. Money will flow into the Canada.
D. The dollar is trading at a forward discount.
Answer: B. The dollar is likely to appreciate in spot markets.
Explanation:
First find the forward rate using the forward rate formula:
Forward rate = Spot rate * (1 + Interest rate of Canada) / (1 + Interest rate of US)
= 1 * ( 1 + 3%) / (1 + 5%)
= 0.980952
= 0.98
The forward rate according to the formula is less than the forward rate that is trading.
This means that the U.S. dollar is trading at a forward discount and when this happens, the dollar will not appreciate in the spot markets because it is scheduled to be discounted in the forward market.
Lin Corporation has a single product whose selling price is $134 per unit and whose variable expense is $67 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $31,750. Required: 1. Calculate the unit sales needed to attain a target profit of $8,450. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 2. Calculate the dollar sales needed to attain a target profit of $9,700.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed cost= $31,750
Unitary contribution margin= 134 - 67= $67
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Desired profit= $8,450
Break-even point in units= (31,750 + 8,450) / 67
Break-even point in units= 600
Now, the desired profit is $9,700; we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= (31,750 + 9,700) / (67/134)
Break-even point (dollars)= 41,450 / 0.5
Break-even point (dollars)= $82,900
Bakers are much ___________ likely to supply pastries to the market if property rights are not enforced. In the presence of market failures, public policy can improve economic efficiency. Classify the source of market failure in each case listed.
a. A manufacturing plant dumps chemical waste into a nearby river, poisoning the water supply for a small town downstream.
b. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity.
Answer: more; externality; market power.
Explanation:
Bakers are much (more) likely to supply pastries to the market if property rights are not enforced.
a. A manufacturing plant dumps chemical waste into a nearby river, poisoning the water supply for a small town downstream. - Externality
Externality, refers to the benefit s or costs that someone else incurs based on the economic decision of another person. In this case, this is a negative externality as the small town bears the cost of the production activities of the company.
b. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity - Market power
Market power is when a firm is able to dictate the price and can then raise the price. This brings about the reduction in output as well. Since the single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state, the company is enjoying monopoly power or market power.
Based on your understanding of the involvement of investment banks in an IPO, complete the following statements. If the investment bank guarantees the sale of the securities, the issue is___________ . The investment bank must pay the issuing firm within ________days of the official start of the offering. If more than one stock offering investment bank is involved in the IPO, the deal is referred to as ___________stock offering.
After the SEC approves the registration statement for the IPO, the biggest responsibility for the issuing company and the investment bank becomes ensuring that the determined number of securities is sold and the firm is able to raise the intended amount. The IPO team-including the investment bankers, senior management team, lawyers, and investor relations team-conducts various activities. Which of the following statements are true about the activities involved in the IPO process?
a. The investment banker estimates the potential demand for the securities by recording the number of shares that each investor is willing to buy. This is called book-building.
b. The IPO team goes on a roadshow, making presentations to institutional investors selected by the underwriter.
c. If investors are willing to purchase more shares than are available, the IPO is considered to be oversubscribed.
d. During the roadshow, the IPO team can divulge additional information to institutional investors that is not given in the registration statement to lure the institutional investors.
Answer:
a. If the investment bank guarantees the sale of the securities, the issue is underwritten. The investment bank must pay the issuing firm within 4 days of the official start of the offering. If more than one stock offering investment bank is involved in the IPO, the deal is referred to as underwriter syndicate stock offering.
b. True Statements.
a. The investment banker estimates the potential demand for the securities by recording the number of shares that each investor is willing to buy. This is called book-building.
b. The IPO team goes on a roadshow, making presentations to institutional investors selected by the underwriter.
c. If investors are willing to purchase more shares than are available, the IPO is considered to be oversubscribed.
Book building is a process that allows investment banks to estimate the potential demand for the shares by finding out the number of shares that investors are willing to buy.
They do this after going on a roadshow where they essentially advertise the IPO to institutional investors. If these investors are willing to buy more shares that is available, they are oversubscribing.

$180,000
Explanation:
Reserves is the total amount of a bank's deposit that is not given out as loans
There are two types of reserves
required reservesexcess reservesRequired reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits
0.05 x $200,000 = $10,000
Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves
$190,000 - 10,000 = $180,000
Biden Resorts Company currently has 0.2 million common shares of stock outstanding and the stock has a beta of 2.2. It also has $1 million face value of bonds that have five years remaining to maturity and 8 percent coupon with semi-annual payments, and are priced to yield 13.65 percent. If Biden issues up to $2.5 million of new bonds, the bonds will be priced at par and have a yield of 13.65 percent; if it issues bonds beyond $2.5 million, the expected yield on the entire issuance will be 16 percent. Biden has learned that it can issue new common stock at $10 a share. The current
risk-free rate of interest is 3 percent and the expected market return is 10 percent. Biden's marginal tax rate is 30 percent. If Biden raises $7.5 million of new capital while maintaining the same debtto-equity ratio, its weighted average cost of capital is?
Answer:
Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 15.87%.
Explanation:
We have to find current weights,
Value of equity = Shares x Share price = 0.2 x 10 = $2 million
Face Value of Bonds FV = $1 million
Semi annual coupon P = 1 x 8% / 2 = $0.04 million
Number of coupons remaining n = 5 x 2 = 10
Semi annual yield r = 13.65% / 2 = 6.825%
Value of Debt = Px [1 - (1 + r)-n] / r + FV / (1 + r)n
= 0.04 x [1 - (1 + 0.06825)-10] / 0.06825 + 1 / (1 + 0.06825)10
= $0.8 million
Total Value = 2 + 0.8 = $2.8 million
Weight of Debt = 0.8 / 2.8 = 28.57%
Weight of Equity = 2 / 2.8 = 71.45%
Amount of Debt to be raised = Weight of debt x Capital
= 0.2857 x 7.5
= $2.14 million
Since the amount of debt to be raised is less than $2.5 million, the yield will be 13.65%
Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Market Return - Risk Free Rate)
= 3% + 2.2 x (10 - 3)
= 18.4%
The weighted average cost of capital:-
WACC = Weight of Debt x Cost of Debt x (1 -Tax Rate) + Weight of Equity x Cost of Equity
= 0.2857 x 13.65% x (1 - 0.3) + 0.7145 x 18.4%
= 15.87%
