Ford Motor Company agreed to pay its workers $37 an hour in 1999 and $37 an hour in 2001. The CPI in 1999 was 166 and in 2001 was 180. Calculate the real wage rate in each year (to the nearest cent). Did these workers really get a pay raise between 1999 and 2001?
Answer:
No, the wage rate did not raise.
Explanation:
Given the nominal wage rate for the year 1999 = $37
CPI for 1999 = 166
The real wage for the year 1999 = [ Nominal wage / CPI ] x 100
The real wage for the year 1999 = [ 37/ 166] x 100 = $22.28
Given the nominal wage rate for the year 2001 = $37
CPI for 2001 = 180
The real wage for the year 2001 = [ Nominal wage / CPI ] x 100
The real wage for the year 2001 = [ 37/ 180] x 100 = $20.55
No the wage rate did not raise.

Suppose you forecast that the standard deviation of the market return will be 20% in the coming year. If the measure of risk aversion in is A = 4: a. What would be a reasonable guess for the expected market risk premium? b. What value of A is consistent with a risk premium of 9%? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. What will happen to the risk premium if investors become more risk tolerant?
Answer:
a) 16%
b) 2.25
c) Increase in expected market risk premium
Explanation:
Expected standard deviation of market return = 20%
measure of risk aversion ( A ) = 4
a) Determine a reasonable expected market risk premium
= A * ( std ) ^2
= 4 * ( 20%)^2
= 16%
b) determine Value of A
market risk premium = A * ( std )^2
∴ A = 9% / ( 20% ) ^2
= 0.09 / 0.04
= 2.25
c) If investors become more risk tolerant the expected market risk premium will increase
Suppose eggs are only sold by the dozen and priced in whole dollar amounts. No eggs are demanded at a price above $7 per dozen. At a price equal to $7 per dozen, 10 dozen eggs are demanded. If the price falls to $6 per dozen, then 11 dozen are demanded. At a price of $5 per dozen, 12 dozen are demanded. When the price falls to $4 then 13 dozen are demanded. Suppose also that this market is operating in the short run and the quantity of eggs supplied is fixed at 12 dozen eggs. What are the equilibrium price and quantity in this market?
Answer:
$5
12
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demand equal quantity supplied. Above equilibrium price there is a surplus - quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.
Below equilibrium price there is a shortage - quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied

If the best operating level of a process X is 1026 bottles per day and the actual output during a day is 786 bottles, then what is the capacity utilization rate for process X
Answer:
greater than 70% but less than or equal to 90%
Explanation:
The computation of the capacity utilization rate for process X is shown below:
As we know that
Capacity Utilization = (Actual Output ÷ Design Capacity) × 100
= (786 ÷ 1026) × 100
= 76.61%
So, it is greater than 70% but less than or equal to 90%

Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with four years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 6%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:_________.
a.) $841,635.85
b.) $715,390.47
c.) $530,230.59
d.) $1,009,963.02
Answer:
a.) $841,635.85
Explanation:
The value of the Treasury note is the present value of its future cash flows, its semiannual coupon payments and the face value receivable by the investors in the T-note at maturity.
Semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*6/12
face value=$1,000,000
coupon rate=6%
semiannual coupon=$1,000,000*6%*6/12
semiannual coupon=$30,000( there would 8 semiannual coupons in 4 years)
The present value of the cash flows can be determined using a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
N=8(semiannual coupons)
PMT=30000(amount of each semiannual coupon)
I/Y=5.50%(semiannual yield to maturity=11.00%*6/12)
FV=1000000(the face value of T-note)

Mideast Airlines purchased a 777 aircraft on January 1, 2020 at a cost of
$40,000,000. The estimated useful life of the aircraft is 20 years, with an
estimated salvage value of $6,000,000. What is the accumulated
depreciation and book value at December 31, 2022, using the straight-line
method
Answer:
3,400,000 accumulated depreciation, 36,600,000 book value
Explanation:
Cost - salvage = amount to be depreciated
40,000,000-6,000,000=34,000,000 amount to be deprecated
34,000,000/20 years =1,700,000 depreciation per year
1,700,000x2-3,400,000 accumulated depreciation after 2 years
40,000,000-3,400,000=36,600,000 book value

Solve for nomial rate of return (rp) :Refer The AttachmentConsider two stocks, A and B. Stock A has an expected return of 10% and a beta of 1.2. Stock B has an expected return of 14% and a beta of 1.8. The expected market rate of return is 9% and the risk-free rate is 5%. Security __________ would be considered the better buy because
Answer:
B; it offers an expected excess return of 1.8%
Explanation:
Here are the options :
A; it offers an expected excess return of .2%A; it offers an expected excess return of 2.2%B; it offers an expected excess return of 1.8%B; it offers an expected return of 2.4%
to determine which stock is the better buy, we have to calculate the expected return of the stocks using CAPM
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
Stock A = 5% + 1.2(9% - 5%) = 9.8%
Stock B = 5% + 1.8(9% - 5%) = 12.20%
The next step is to determine the excess return
stated expected return - calculated expected return = excess return
Stock A's excess return = 10% - 9.8% - 0.2%
Stock B's excess return = 14 - 12.20 = 1.8%
Security B would be considered because it has a higher excess return
Brown Cow Dairy uses the aging approach to estimate bad debt expense. The ending balance of each account receivable is aged on the basis of three time periods as follows: (1) not yet due, $14,000; (2) up to 120 days past due, $4,500; and (3) more than 120 days past due, $2,500. Experience has shown that for each age group, the average loss rate on the amount of the receivables at year-end due to uncollectibility is (1) 2 percent, (2) 12 percent, and (3) 30 percent, respectively. At December 31 (end of the current year), the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is $800 (credit) before the end-of-period adjusting entry is made. Data during the current year follow:
a. During December, an Account Receivable (Patty's Bake Shop) of $750 from a prior sale was determined to be uncollectible; therefore, it was written off immediately as a bad debt.
b. On December 31, the appropriate adjusting entry for the year was recorded.

For 20x1, indirect costs were budgeted at $250,000, but actually amounted to $300,000. Actual salaries were $110,000 for each attorney and $30,000 for each paraprofessional. Direct and indirect costs are applied on a professional labor-hour basis that includes both attorney and paraprofessional hours. Total budgeted labor-hours were 50,000; however, actual labor-hours were 60,000.
How much should the client be billed in a normal costing system which uses budgeted rate and cost allocations are based on actual data, when 1,000 professional labor-hours were used?
a. $27,000
b. $32,000
c. $34,800
d. $37,400
Answer:
Billed costs= $32,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total estimated cost attorney= 12*100,000= $1,200,000
Total estimated cost paraprofessional= 5*30,000= $150,000
Estimated Indirect costs= $250,000
Estimated number of hours= 50,000
First, we need to calculate the allocation rate:
Allocation rate= total estimated costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Allocation rate= (1,200,000 + 150,000 + 250,000) / 50,000
Allocation rate= 1,600,000/50,000
Allocation rate= $32
Now, for 1,000 hours:
Billed costs= 1,000*32= $32,000

Harris Fabrics computes its plantwide predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 44,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period’s estimated level of production. The company also estimated $521,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $2.00 per direct labor-hour. Harris’s actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year was $687,120 and its actual total direct labor was 44,500 hours. Required: Compute the company’s plantwide predetermined overhead rate for the year. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $13.84 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (521,000 / 44,000) + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 11.84 + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $13.84 per direct labor hour
