you need a 20-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $210,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at a 7.1 percent APR for this 240 month loan. However, you can afford monthly payments of $1,000, so you offer to pay off any remaining balance at the end of the loan in the form of a single balloon payment. HOw large will this balloon payment have ot be for you to keep your monthly payments at $1000
Answer: $337,869.73
Explanation:
Find out the future value of $1,000 given an interest rate of 7.1%. If this amount is less than the future value of $210,000, the difference is added to the final payment to come up with the balloon payment.
The APR needs to be made periodic:
= 7.1% / 12
The $1,000 payment is an annuity so this can be calculated as:
= Annuity * ( ( 1 + rate) ^ number of periods - 1) / rate
= 1,000 * ( ( 1 + 7.1/ 12%) ²⁴⁰ - 1) / 7.1/12%
= $527,297.83
Future value of $210,000
= 210,000 * ( 1 + 7.1/ 12%) ²⁴⁰
= $865,167.56
Balloon payment will be:
= 865,167.56 - 527,297.83
= $337,869.73
Installing an automated production system costing $300,000 is initially expected to save Zia Corporation $52,000 in expenses annually. If the system needs $7,500 in operating and maintenance costs each year and has a salvage value of $30,000 at year 10, what is the IRR of this system
Answer:
8.87%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-300,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 9 = $52,000 - $7,500 = $44500
Cash flow in year 10 = $44500 + $30,000 = $74500
IRR = 8.87%
To determine the value of IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

During the current year, assets increased from $11,000 to $19,000, and liabilities decreased from $9,000 to $7,500. If no additional capital contributions were made during the year, dividends totaled $4,000, and expenses totaled $21,000, determine total revenues for the year
Answer:
$34,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine total revenues for the year
Using this formula
Total revenues=Increase in Assets+Decreased in liabilities+Dividends+Expenses
Let plug in the formula
Total revenues=($11,000-$19,000)+($9,000-$7,500)+$4,000+$21,000
Total revenues=$8,000+$1,500+$4,000+$21,000
Total revenues=$34,500
Therefore total revenues for the year is $34,500
Assume that an investor purchased a put option on BP with an exercise price of $1.900 for $0.0215 per unit. There are 31,250 units in a GBP options contract. At the time of the option expiration date, the spot price for GBP was $1.885. What was the net profit/loss on this option to the investor?
a. $203.125
b. $671.8750
c. $468.75
d. $1,140.625
Answer:
a. $203.125
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the net profit/loss on this option to the investor
Net profit/loss=((1.900 - 1.885) - 0.0215)(31,250)
Net profit/loss=(0.015-0.0215)*31,250
Net profit/loss=0.0065*31,250
Net profit/loss=$203.125
Therefore the net profit/loss on this option to the investor will be $203.125
Common stock holders: Group of answer choices have one vote in the election of how the company operates. are last in line to receive income. are guaranteed to get paid when the company fails. receive income before preferred stockholders.

Mannisto Inc. uses the FIFO inventory cost flow assumption. In a year of rising costs and prices, the firm reported net income of $219,017 and average assets of $1,413,720. If Mannisto had used the LIFO cost flow assumption in the same year, its cost of goods sold would have been $36,220 more than under FIFO, and its average assets would have been $31,640 less than under FIFO.
Required:
Calculate the firm's ROI under each cost flow assumption (FIFO and LIFO).
Answer:
a) Under the FIFO method:-
ROI = 15.49%.
Under LIFO method:-
ROI = 13.2%
Explanation:
ROI = Net Income * 100 / Avverage assets.
a) Under the FIFO method
[tex]ROI= \frac{219017*100}{1413720} \\ROI = 15.49[/tex]
ROI = 15.49%.
Under LIFO method
[tex]ROI= \frac{182797*100}{1382080} \\ROI=13.2%[/tex]
ROI = 13.2%
Net income Under LIFO= Net income under FIFO-Increased cost of goods sold
= $219017-$36,220= $182797.
Average assets under LIFO= Average assets under FIFO-Average assets that are less under LIFO
= $1413720 - $31,640= $1382080.
Anyina Corporation has an actual profit of $80,000. The break-even point is $500,000 and the variable expenses are 60% of sales. Given this information, the margin of safety, based on actual sales, is:
Answer:
Margin of safety = $200,000
Explanation:
Given:
Actual profit = $80,000
Break-even point = $500,000
Variable expenses = 60% of sales
Find:
Margin of safety
Computation:
Assume sales = a
So,
Variable expenses = 0.6a
Pv ratio = [(Sales - Variable expenses) / Sales]100
Pv ratio = [(a - 0.6a)/a]100
Pv ratio = 40%
Margin of safety = Profit / Pv ratio
Margin of safety = 80,000 / 40%
Margin of safety = $200,000
On April 1, year 1, Hyde Corp., a newly formed company, had the following stock issued and outstanding: 1) Common stock, no par, $1 stated value, 20,000 shares originally issued for $30 per share. 2) Preferred stock, $10 par value, 6,000 shares originally issued for $50 per share. Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report
Common stock Preferred stock APIC
a) $20,000 $60,000 $820,000
b) $20,000 $300,000 $580,000
c) $600,000 $300,000 $0
d) $600,000 $60,000 $240,000
Answer:
Common stock Preferred stock APIC
a) $20,000 $60,000 $820,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report
Calculation to determine the COMMON STOCK
Common stock=20,000 shares*$1
Common stock=$20,000
Calculation to determine PREFERRED STOCK
Preferred stock =6,000 shares*$10
Preferred stock =$60,000
Calculation to determine ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL (APIC)
APIC=[(6000*$50)-(6000*$10)]+[(20,000*$30)+(20,000*$1)]
APIC=($300,000-$60,000)+($600,000-$20,000)
APIC=$240,000+$580,000
APIC=$820,000
Therefore Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report:
Common stock Preferred stock APIC
$20,000 $60,000 $820,000
The following statements describe why profits for firms in a perfectly competitive industry tend to vanish in the long run. Select the explanation that most accurately reflects this scenario?
A) Firms try to increase supply to cover their costs if they experience losses, and this leads to zero profits.
B) Firms are unable to generate revenue over time because the demand for products drops.
C) When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market prices drop.
D) When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market, prices rise.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market the prices drop.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the microeconomics theory the perfect competitive market is characterized by the fact that there a lot of companies that sell an homogenous product and that are price takers of the market itself. So therefore that the only big difference in the firms are the costs and the prices that they have. Moreover, in the long run the firms are obtaining great profits so that leads to the enter of another more companies to the market and the supply rises the prices will have to go low so that will implicate as well a decrease in the prices of every company that now works in that industry.

Problems and Applications Q6 The price of coffee fell sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations: Sean: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Yvette: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Bob: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time. Cho: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic. Eric: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic. Who could possibly be right
Answer:
YvetteBobChoExplanation:
Yvette was right because a perfectly inelastic supply means that the supply remains the same regardless of the price. With the supply remaining the same even though prices fell, enough people still bought regardless of the decrease in price that the quantity sold remained the same.
Bob was also right because the scenario painted is similar to the above. The supply increased when demand decreased which meant that even though there were less people demanding, there was more coffee being supplied such that quantity remained the same.
Cho was also correct because a perfectly inelastic demand means that the demand does not change in response to a change in price. With coffee being perfectly inelastic, people will buy the same quantity regardless so quantity sold remained the same.

Debt levels across industries vary widely. Debt ratios in most countries are considerably less than 100 percent. Some firms use no debt. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries. Most corporations have relatively low debt-asset ratios.
Complete Question:
Which one of the following is not empirically correct?
A. Debt levels across industries vary widely
B. Debt ratios in most countries are considerably less than 100 percent.
C. Some firms use no debt.
D. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries.
E. Most corporations have relatively low debt-asset ratios.
Answer:
The not empirically correct statement is:
D. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries.
Explanation:
Instead, the capital structures across industries vary significantly. Firms with large asset investments tend to have more leverage than others with less asset investments. And this situation of having or not having large investments in assets cuts across firms in the same industry. This suggests that their capital structures will always vary not because of the industry but the choices made by the firm's management. Capital structures are also influenced by taxes and operating income uncertainties, which also vary within the same industry.

Curley Publishers Inc. projected sales of 51,000 diaries for 2016. The estimated January 1, 2016, inventory is 3,600 units, and the desired December 31, 2016, inventory is 5,000 units. What is the budgeted production (in units) for 2016
Answer:
47,900
Explanation:
The projected sales for curley publishers is 51,000
The beginning inventory is 3,600
The ending inventory is 5,000
The budgeted projection units in 2016 can be calculated as follows
= 51,000+5000
= 51,500-3600
= 47,900
Hence budgeted projection units is 47,900
You own a golf course in Florida and you need to determine how many golf carts you need to buy to maximize profits. Please answer the following questions given the information below.
A brand new golf cart costs 2000 rounds of golf and the rate of depreciation is 5%.
The real interest rate is 8%
The expected marginal product of capital is given by MPKf = 1000 – 10K.
a) What is the user cost of capital and what is it expressed in?
b) How many golf carts should you buy to maximize profits (i.e., what is K*)?
c) Draw a graph (the uc / MPK graph) depicting the state of affairs and label this initial profit maximizing point as point A.
Now suppose the (local) government with all their financial shortfalls embarks on a campaign to raise revenue to fund the fire department by imposing a so-called "luxury tax" (we know it as τ) equal to 15% of gross revenue. What happens to the profit maximizing number of golf carts? Please show all work and round to two decimal places.
Answer:
a) 260 rounds of golf
b) 74
c) attached below
d) 70 golf carts
Explanation:
a) Calculate the user cost of capital and what is it expressed in
user cost of capital = total depreciation + total interest
= ( rate of depreciation * Golf cart cost ) + ( real interest rate * Golf cart cost )
= ( d + r ) Golf cart cost
= ( 0.05 + 0.08 ) 2000 = 260 rounds of golf
b) determine the number of carts that should be bought to maximize profits
Profits are maximized when User Cost of capital = MPKF
(d +r) Golf cart cost = MP Kf = 1000 – 10K
( 0.05 + 0.08 ) 2000 = 1000 – 10K
260 = 1000 – 10K ∴ K = ( 1000 - 260 ) / 10 = 74
c) attached below is the required graph
d) Determine what happens to the profit maximizing number of golf carts
User cost of capital ( 1 - t ) = MPK^f
∴ User cost of capital ( 1 - t ) = 1000 – 10K
260 ( 1 - 0.15 ) = 1000 – 10K
305.88 = 1000 – 10K
K=69.41
that is approximately 70 golf carts is been bought to maximize profit

ABC Company's production budget for October is based on 500 units. Standard unit cost for raw materials is $130 per unit ($10 per pound x 13 pounds per unit).
ABC's actual production in October= = 525 units.
The actual cost of materials used = $69,300 ($11 per pound x 12 pounds per unit).
Required:
a. Calculate the raw materials price variance for October. Is it favorable or unfavorable?
b. Calculate the raw materials usage variance for October. Is it favorable or unfavorable?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. Raw material price variance is
= (standard price - actual price) × actual quantity
= ($10 - $11) × ($69,300 ÷ $11)
= ($10 - $11) × 6,300
= $6,300 unfavorable
b. The raw material usage variance is
= (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard price
= (525 × 13 - 6,300) × $10
= $5,250 favorable
In this way it should be calculated
Suppose that the price of a cupcake is $4. At this price, 50 cupcakes will be demanded. If the price rises to $5 per cupcake, consumer surplus will
Answer: fall by less than $50.
Explanation:
The options are:
• fall by more than $50.
• fall by less than $50.
• rise by less than $50.
• rise by more than $50.
Expert Answer
Consumer surplus, is referred to as the economic measure of the excess benefit that a customer gets. The consumer surplus is the difference between the amount that the customer is willing to pay and the amount that he or she eventually pays.
Based on the question, the total Price paid is: 50 × $4 = $200
Total Revised Price = 50 × $5 = $250
Therefore, there will be a fall by $50 that's ($250 - $200).

Sheridan Corporation had 2020 net income of $798,000. During 2020, Sheridan paid a dividend of $2 per share on 33,200 shares of preferred stock. During 2020, Sheridan had outstanding 236,000 shares of common stock.
Required:
Compute Sheridan's 2020 earnings per share.
Answer:
$3.10 per share
Explanation:
Total preferred dividend = 33,200 shares * $2
Total preferred dividend = $66,400
Earning per share = (Net income - Preferred dividend) / Number of common stock outstanding
Earning per share = ($798,000 - $66,400) / 236,000 shares
Earning per share = $731,600 / 236,000 shares
Earning per share = $3.10 per share
