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

Answer:
The seller must be informed when the offer is presented that the depositis a promissory note
Explanation:
A good faith deposit is one that is done by a buyer in which conditions are stated that could result in the loss of deposit by the buyer.
It is a deposit made by the buyer to show he intends to complete the payment later.
In this instance if there is a Goodwill deposit in form of a promissory note, the broker needs to be aware.
So that when he is bringing in a client he will consider the already existing deposit.
Deals that offer more deposit or full payment will be considered and the original buyer discarded.

TB MC Qu. 6-63 Creswell Corporation's fixed monthly expenses ... Creswell Corporation's fixed monthly expenses are $23,000 and its contribution margin ratio is 63%. Assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income in a month when sales are $78,000
Answer:
Net operating income= $26,140
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $23,000
The contribution margin ratio is 63%.
Sales= $78,000
First, we need to calculate the contribution margin:
Contribution margin= contribution margin ratio*sales
Contribution margin= 0.63*78,000
Contribution margin= 49,140
Net operating income= 49,140 - 23,000= $26,140
Pioneer Venture Capital firm recently offered a biotech company $50 million funding in exchange for 25% of the biotech company's ownership. What is the company's implied post-money valuation
Answer:
The company's implied post-money valuation is $200 million.
Explanation:
Post-money valuation is a technique that is employed to determine the value of a firm after making an investment in the company.
The calculation of the implied post-money valuation is done by dividing the investment amount offered by the percentage of ownership the investor is getting in exchange. This can be expressed as follows:
Implied post money valuation = Investment amount offered / Ownership percentage ............................ (1)
Since from the question, we have:
Investment amount offered = $50,000,000
Ownership percentage = 25%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Implied post money valuation = $50,000,000 / 25% = $200,000,000
Therefore, the company's implied post-money valuation is $200 million.

g An arbitrage opportunity arises when... Group of answer choices An investment has a high risk-return ratio. disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit the risk-free rate generates a positive alpha. a net investment is taken place within a portfolio
Answer:
disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit
Explanation:
Arbitrage is defined as the practice where there is simultaneous buying and selling of an asset so as to benefit from a price difference.
Usually the price differences occur in different markets, so the arbitrator acts as a supplier of the goods to market where goods are to be sold.
For example if a company buys fertiliser from a whole seller and immediately sells the goods to a farmer's cooperative at higher price this is arbitrage.
So abitrage opportunity is when disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit
The risk-free rate is 5% and the tangency portfolio has 20% expected return and 40% return standard deviation. A risk-loving investor has $1000 of wealth and she seeks to attain 27.5% expected return. How much money does she need to borrow from the bank? A. 250 B. 500 C. 1500 D. 1000
Answer:
B. 500
Explanation:
Portfolio return = Weighted average return
Let the amount invested in portfolio is x and amount invested in risk free = 1000 - x
27.5% = 20%*x + 5%*(1000-x)
27.5% * 1,000 = 20%x + 50 – 5%x
0.275 * 1,000 = 15%x + 50
275 - 50 = 15%x
225 = 15%x
x = 225 / 0.15
x = $1,500
Hence, the amount of money borrowed = $1,500 - $1000
= $500
Which of the following statements is true?
A. Investment in another company's common stock is classified as a cash outflow from financing activities in the statement of cash flows.
B. Losses on the sale of long-term assets are an adjustment reported in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows under the indirect method.
C. Dividends paid are classified as a cash outflow from operating activities in the statement of cash flows.
D. Re-payment of long-term debt is classified as a cash outflow from investing activities in the statement of cash flows.

In which of the following situations would a delegation of contractual duties be allowed? Multiple Choice A painter hired to paint your home. A sculptor hired to sculpt your bust. An actor hired to perform in a play. A surgeon performing brain surgery.
Answer:
A painter hired to paint your home.
Explanation:
Delegation of contractual duty occurs when the individual that is supposed to perform a task transfers the responsibility of performing the task to another person.
For example if someone is supposed to paint a house but he has other engagements. He can delegate to another painter to perform the painting.
Delegation does not transfer contractual rights as the original person still collects payment for performance of the task.
Usually delegation can occur for tasks that do not require special skill and can be performed by anyone.
In the other scenarios special skill is required so delegation will not be usually allowed.
he beginning share price for a security over a three-year period was $50. Subsequent year-end prices were $62, $58 and $64. The arithmetic average annual rate of return and the geometric average annual rate of return for this stock were:
Answer:
Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%
geometric average annual rate of return = 8.58%
Explanation:
share price at the beginning = $50
time = 3 year
price at the end of year 1 = $62
price at the end of year 2 = $58
price at the end of year 3 = $64
Annual rate of return in year 1 = ($62 / $50 - 1) x 100 = 24%
Annual rate of return in year 2 = ($58 / $62 - 1) x 100 = -6.45%
Annual rate of return in year 3 = \($64 / $58 - 1) x 100 = 10.34%
Arithmetic average rate of return = sum of annual rate of return / 3
Arithmetic average rate of return = (24% + -6.45% + 10.34%) / 3
Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%
geometric average annual rate of return = { (1 + r1) x (1 + r2) x (1 + r3) }^1/3 - 1
= (1.24) x (0.9355) x (1.1034)^1/3 - 1 = 8.58%
On July 1, Shady Creek Resort borrowed $250,000 cash by signing a 10-year, 8% installment note requiring equal payments each June 30 of $37,258. What amount of interest expense will be included in the first annual payment
Answer:
Interest expense = $20,000
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The annual installment is computed as follows:
Annual installment= Loan amount/annuity factor
Annual installment is already given as = 37,258 (already given)
Interest payment = interest rate × Loan balance at the beginning of the year
DATA
Interest rate = 8%
Loan balance at the beginning of the year = $250,000
Interest expense = 8%× 250,000 = $20000
Principal paid = Annual installment - Interest = 37,258-20,000 = 17,258 (this is not required but to explain the concept)
Interest expense = $20,000

Explanation:
The Sale of merchandise by Perkins Company (Parent) to Sheraton Company (Subsidiary) is an Intragroup transaction since the companies form a group.
This results in the Cost of Goods Sold and Revenue being overstated for each intra-sale transaction and an unrealized profit resulting in the inventory that has not been sold at the end of the period.
The above are the necessary adjustments that are required to correct the overstatement and unrealized profits.
If the price of steel, an input into the production of automobiles, rises, and at the same time the price of gasoline rises, what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of automobiles
Answer:
a decrease in equilibrium quantity
an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price.
Explanation:
An increase in the price of steel would raise the production cost of cars. as a result the supply curve would shift inwards or to the left. price would rise and quantity would fall.
A rise in the price of gasoline would increase the cost of fuelling one's car. As a result the demand for cars would fall. the demand curve would shift inward. Quantity and price would fall.
Taking these two effects together, there would be a decrease in equilibrium quantity but an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price.

Harris Co. is considering a 12-year project that is estimated to cost $900,000 and has no residual value. Harris seeks to earn an average rate of return of 15% on all capital projects. Determine the necessary average annual income (using straight-line depreciation) that must be achieved on this project for it to be acceptable to Harris Co.
Answer:
annual income = $70,292.52
Explanation:
initial outlay $900,000
in order to determine the net cash flows per year we can use the present value of an ordinary annuity:
PV = annual cash flow x annuity factor
PV = $900,000 annuity factor, 15%, 12 years = 6.1944annual cash flow = $900,000 / 6.1944 = $145,292.52
annual cash flow = [(revenue - operating costs - depreciation) x (1 - tax rate)] + depreciation
revenue - operating costs - depreciation = annual incometax rate = 0?depreciation = $900,000 / 12 = $75,000$145,292.52 = annual income + $75,000
annual income = $145,292.52 - $75,000 = $70,292.52
Wilson Dover Inc. The total value (debt plus equity) of Wilson Dover Inc. is $500 million and the face value of its 1-year coupon debt is $200 million. The volatility (σ) of Wilson Dover's total value is 0.60, and the risk-free rate is 5%. Assume that N(d1) = 0.9720 and N(d2) = 0.9050. Refer to the data for Wilson Dover Inc. What is the yield on Wilson Dover's debt? a. 7.05% b. 6.04% c. 6.70% d. 7.42% e. 6.36%
Answer:
7.42%
Explanation:
Value = 500 million
Amount of debt = 200 million
Time = year
Volatility = 6%
Risk free rate = 0.05
Nd1 = 0.9720
Nd2 = 0.9050
We have to calculate the value =
500 - (500 x 0.9720 - 200 x e^-0.05 x 0.9050)
= 186.17 million
We now calculate the yield
(200/186.17)^1 - 1
= 0.0742
= 7.42%

a. $295.81.
b. $49619.
c. $39600.
d. $2,926.00.
e. $962.19.
Answer: a. $295.81.
Explanation:
Using the value basis would mean that the product's share of the total market value will be used to determine it's share of the cost.
Total Market Value = Product L Market Value + Product M Market Value
= (310 lbs * 10.2) + ( 260 lbs * 20.4)
= 3,162 + 5,304
= $8,466
Product L's share of total market value
= 3,162/8,466
Product L's share of the $792 based on share of total market value
= (3,162/8,466) * 792
= $295.8072
= $295.81

data related to the inventories of alpine ski equipment and supplis is presented below 180000 the inventory of skis would be valued at
Answer:
$128,000
Explanation:
The computation of inventory of skis is shown below:-
NRV = Selling price - Sales commission
= $180,000 - ($180,000 × 10%)
= $180,000 - $18,000
= $162,000
Cost = $128,000
The cost which is $128,000 lower than $162,000 NRV
So, Inventory of Skis will be $128,000 which is Lower of cost or NRV
Therefore the correct answer is $128,000

Fed is open to changing bond policy Fed policymakers signaled for the first time that they could increase or decrease stimulation of the economy in the future, but not now. Source: Los Angeles Times, May 1, 2013 What are the ripple effects and time lags that the Fed must consider in deciding when to increase or decrease stimulation of the economy?
Answer:
When the Fed raises the federal funds rate, the inflation rate decreases about two years later.
Explanation:
When trying to stimulate the economy either by increasing or decreasing, policymakers have to take into consideration how it would effect interest rate, amount of money available in the economy, loans that would be acquired by banks and the behavior of interest rate.
Interest rate can be impacted quickly even though the period of time it would take for such action to have a reflection on what quantity of money is available in the economy. Then also a period of 2 years would be taken for this action to take effect on inflation.
Therefore
When the Fed raises the federal funds rate, the inflation rate decreases about two years later.
Mr. Fred Mitchell is requesting the birth record for Amy, his birth daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell gave Amy up for adoption four years ago. Should you release the records to him? Why or why not?

$156,000Write your conclusions in a sentence.
When the price is higher than $12 per unit, demand is elastic, which means any decrease in price will result in a larger proportional increase in quantity demanded. This in turn increases total revenue. Below $12 per unit, demand is inelastic, which means that a decrease in price will result in a smaller increase in quantity demanded.Explanation:

The mode of transportation that results in the lowest transportation cost will also lower total costs for a supply chain.
a) true
b) false
Answer: False
Explanation:
Transportation is the movement of individuals or goods from one place to another. Supply chain are the steps that are involved before a product will finally get to the consumer.
It should be noted that the mode of transportation that results in the lowest transportation cost will not necessarily lower total costs for a supply chain. This I because transportation isn't the only process involved on supply chain.
