The free market in actual terms, and not in the theoretical ideal, consists of commerce legally constrained by what is economically desirable and what is socially desirable, as well.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation:

In the free market, the goods and services that are sold are those that consumers in the economy require which is why they buy the goods in the first place.

The goods and services that are sold are also socially desirable. This means that in a particular society, the goods and services sold must conform to the social norms and values that the economy holds. In essence, they shouldn't be illegal.

The ending Retained Earnings balance of Lambert Inc. increased by $1.7 million from the beginning of the year. The company's net income earned during the year is $5.1 million. What is the amount of dividends Lambert Inc. declared and paid

Answers

Answer: $3.4 million

Explanation:

The increase in Retained earnings is the net earnings for the year.

Net earnings are calculated by deducting dividends from the Net income.

Net earnings = Net income - Dividends

1,700,000 = 5,100,000 - Dividends

Dividends = 5,100,000 - 1,700,000

= $3,400,000

= $3.4 million

Combining a protective put with a forward contract generates equivalent outcomes at expiration to those of a:

Answers

Answer:

Fiduciary call.

Explanation:

Foreign exchange market can be defined as type of market in which the currency of one country is converted into that of another country.

For example, the conversion of dollars of the United States of America can be converted into naira (Nigeria) at the foreign exchange market.

A covered interest arbitrage can be defined as trading strategy in which an investor minimizes his or her currency risk by using a forward contract to hedge against the interest rate difference between two countries i.e the exchange rate risk. Thus, it's considered to be the most common interest rate arbitrage around the world.

Generally, when a protective put is combined with a forward contract it would generate equivalent outcomes at expiration to those of a fiduciary call.

This ultimately implies that, a fiduciary call combines both a call option and a bond that's risk free and matures on the expiry date of an option.

The Alpha Division has sales of $635,000, variable expenses of $345,800, and traceable fixed expenses of $135,900. The total amount of common fixed expenses not traceable to the individual divisions is $138,200. What is the company's net operating income?

Answers

Answer:

Net operating income= $107,700

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beta Division:

Sales= $325,000

Variable expense= $159,600

Traceable fixed expense= $72,800

Alpha Division:

Variable expense= $345,800

Traceable fixed expense= $135,900

We need to calculate the net operating income:

Beta division partial income= 325,000 - 159,600 - 72,800= 92,600

Alpha division partial income= 635,000 - 345,800 - 135,900= 153,300

Common fixed expense= (138,200)

Net operating income= $107,700

Correlation is a statistical measure used to measure the relationship that exists between two variables.

1. Positive correlation : it mean that the two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable also increases. It increases the risk of the portfolio

For example, there should be a positive correlation between quantity supplied and price

When there is a positive correlation, the graph of the variables is upward sloping

2. Negative correlation :  it mean that the two variables move in different direction. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases. It decreases the risk of the portfolio

For example, there should be a negative correlation between quantity demanded and price

When there is a negative correlation, the graph of the variables is downward sloping

3. Zero correlation : there is no relationship between the variables. It decreases the risk of the portfolio

Rocky Guide Service provides guided 1–5 day hiking tours throughout the Rocky Mountains. Wilderness Tours hires Rocky to lead various tours that Wilderness sells. Rocky receives $1,600 per tour day, and shortly after the end of each month Rocky learns whether it will receive a $160 bonus per tour day it guided during the previous month if its service during that month received an average evaluation of "excellent" by Wilderness customers. The $1,600 per day and any bonus due are paid in one lump payment shortly after the end of each month.

On July 1, based on prior experience, Rocky estimated there is a 40% chance it will earn the bonus for July tours. It guided a total of 10 days from July 1–July 15.
On July 16, based on Rocky’s view that it had provided excellent service during the first part of the month, Rocky revised its estimate to an 90% chance it would earn the bonus for July tours. Rocky also guided customers for 15 days from July 16–July 31.
On August 5 Rocky learned it did not receive an average evaluation of "excellent" for its July tours, so it would not receive any bonus for July, and received all payment due for the July tours.

Bothell Company uses a job order costing system that allocates estimated overhead as 40% of prime costs. What is the cost of a job that required direct materials of $2,000 and direct labor of $5,200

Answers

Answer:

$10,080

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of the job is shown below:

We know that

prime cost = direct material + Direct labor

= $2,000 + $5,200

= $,7200

Now  overhead is

= 40% of $7200

= $2,880

And,

Cost of job = direct material + Direct labor + overhead

= $2,000 + $5,200 + $2,880

Profit margin is calculated by dividing Group of answer choices sales by cost of goods sold. gross profit by net sales. net income by stockholders' equity. net income by net sales. Flag question: Question 19

Answers

Answer:

net income by net sales.

Explanation:

Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services. Thus, it refers to the amount of money a customer or consumer buying goods and services are willing to pay for the goods and services being offered. Also, the price of goods and services are primarily being set by the seller or service provider and it eventually determines the profit margin of a business firm.

In Financial accounting, profit margin can be defined as a measure of the profitability of a business over a specific period of time. Thus, it is simply the amount of money by which revenue generated through sales exceed the costs of a product.

Hence, profit margin is calculated by dividing net income by net sales or net profits by net sales over a specific period of time.

So, the production should be

= Ending finished units + sales units - beginning finished units

= (25% of 64,000 units)  + 80,000 units - 28,000 units

= 16,000 units + 80,000 units - 28,000 units

Viviano Corporation issued a new bond, and hired your bank as its underwriter. In an upcoming talk with its CFO, you are expected to explain the effect of market interest rate. An increase in the market rate of interest will have which one of the following effects on this bond?

a. increase the coupon rate
b. decrease the coupon rate
c. increase the market price
d. decrease the market price
e. increase the time period

Answers

Answer: d. decrease the market price

Explanation:

Interest rates and the prices of bonds are negatively correlated as one increasing means that the other is decreasing.

The reason is this: when market interest rates rise, investors will move away from bonds to other investments because bonds offer a fixed payment and so will be less attractive than other investments which would be offering higher returns based on the higher market rates.

The drop in demand for bonds will lead to their prices falling as per the rules of demand and supply.

A company with excess capacity must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection. The company has 19,000 defective units that cost $5.20 per unit to manufacture. The units can be a) sold as is for $2.50 each, or b) reworked for $4.80 each and then sold for the full price of $7.70 each.
What is the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units? Should the company sell the units as scrap or rework them? (Enter costs and losses as negative values.)

Answers

Answer:

If the company reworks the units, income will increase by $7,600 (55,100 - 47,500).

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of units= 19,000

Sold as-is:

Selling price= $2.5

Rework:

Selling price= $7.7

Incremental income= $4.8

First, we will calculate the effect on income of both options:

Sold as-is:

Effect on income= 2.5*19,000= $47,500

Rework:

Effect on income= 19,000*(7.7 - 4.8)

Effect on income= $55,100

If the company reworks the units, income will increase by $7,600 (55,100 - 47,500).

Assume the expected return on the market is 6 percent and the risk-free rate is 4 percent. What is the expected return for a stock with a beta equal to 2.00

Answers

Baxter Co. wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 5.6 percent coupon bonds on the market that sell for $1,094.30,page 160 make semiannual payments, and mature in 20 years. What coupon rate should the company set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par

Answers

Answer:

The coupon rate the company should set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par is 4.86%.

Explanation:

The coupon rate can be determined by calculating the yield to maturity (YTM) using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) * Number of semiannuals in a year = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)*2 .............(1)

Where;

YTM = yield to maturity = ?

nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity * number of semiannuals in a year = 20 * 2 = 40

pmt = semiannual coupon payment = face value * (annual coupon rate / number of semiannuals in a year) = 1000 * (5.6% / 2) = 28

pv = present value = current bond price = $1,094.30 = 1094.30

fv = face value of the bond = 1000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

YTM = RATE(40,28,-1094.30,1000)*2

Inputting =RATE(40,28,-1094.30,1000)*2 into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), we have

YTM = 4.86%

Therefore, the coupon rate the company should set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par is 4.86%.
