Answers

Answer 1

Answer: the fed rather than borrowing from another commercial bank.

Explanation:

Based on the question, if there is a scenario whereby the discount rate to the federal funds rate is lower, the logical thing to do is to borrow from the fed rather than borrowing from another commercial bank.

This is because borrowing from fed rather than borrowing from another commercial bank mean that there's less risk attached.

Your auto dealer gives you the choice to pay $15,500 cash now, or make three payments: $8,200 now, $4,200 in one year and $3,200 in two years. If your cost of money (discount rate) is 7.25%, what is the PV of the installment plan?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $14,898.07

Explanation:

Assume that the cost of money (discount rate) of 7.25% is on annual basis.

Present value (PV) of the installment plan is:

PV = Down payment + PV(first installment) + PV(second installment)

= $8,200 + $4,200 / (1 + 7.25%) + $3,200 / (1 + 7.25%)^2 = $14,898.07

Obviously, the three payments option is more lucrative than the 100% down payment one.

A retail operation has an average gross margin of 35%. If the average monthly sales for the store is $200,000.00, what is the cost of goods sold?

Answers

Answer:

COGS= $130,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A retail operation has an average gross margin of 35%.

Sales= $200,000.00

To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:

Gross margin= sales - COGS

COGS= sales - gross margin

COGS= 200,000 - (200,000*0.35)

COGS= $130,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Net Income of Loss:

Year 1 = $36,000 loss

Year 2 = $90,000

Year 3 = $150,000

Sharing plans:

a) Capital:

Watts $42,000  = $42,000/$105,000 = 40%

Lyon $63,000  = $63,000/$105,000 = 60%

b) Time devotion:

Watts 1 = 1/3 or 33%

Lyon 2 = 2/3 or 67%

c) a salary allowance of $6,000 per month to Lyon and the balance in accordance with the ratio of their initial capital investments:

Distributable Income / Loss:

Year 1 = ($36,000) - $72,000 = ($108,000)

Year 2 = $90,000 - $72,000 = $18,000

Year 3 = $150,000 - $72,000 = $78,000

Using the information below for Laurels Company; determine the cost of goods manufactured during the current year: Direct materials used $6,100 Direct Labor 8,100 Total Factory overhead 6,200 Beginning work in process 4,100 Ending work in process 6,200a. $19,700b. $16,900c. $18,300d. $12,800e. $14,800

Answers

Answer:

c. $18,300

Explanation:

The computation of cost of goods manufactured during the current year is shown below:-

Cost of goods manufactured during the current year = Direct material + Direct labor + Total factory overhead + Beginning Work in progress - Ending work in progress

= $6,100 + $8,100 + $6,200 + $4,100 - $6,200

= $24,500 - $6,200

= $18,300

Hence, the correct option is c. $18,300

Suppose an item sells for​ $125 in the United States and for​ 62,500 pesos in Chile. According to the law of one​ price, the nominal exchange rate​ (pesos/dollar) should be​ ________.

Answers

Answer:

$1 = 500 Pesos

1 Pesos = $0.002

Explanation:

$125 = 62,500 Pesos

$1 = 62,500 / 125

$1 = 500 Pesos

$1 = 500 Pesos

1 Pesos = $1 / 500

1 Pesos = $0.002

The manager of a crew that installs wood floors has tracked the crew's output over the past several weeks. Each worker works 40 hours per week and earns $17 per hour. The wholesale cost of lumber to the company is $5 per square foot and the company charges its customers $15 per square foot of flooring installed.

2 3 351 325
3 2 250 238

a. Calculate labor productivity for each of the weeks.
b. Suppose that in addition to labor cost and wholesale lumber cost, the firm's overhead is 120% of its labor cost. Calculate multifactor productivity for each of the weeks shown.

Answers

Answer:

Week      Crew Size     Lumber Used     Flooring Installed

                                     (sq. ft.)                 (sq. ft.)

1                    4                 480                   420

2                   3                 351                    325

3                   2                 250                   238

a)

labor productivity = total output / number of employees

week 1 ⇒ 420 / 4 = 105 sq. ft. of floors installed per worker

week 2 ⇒ 325 / 3 = 108.33 sq. ft. of floors installed per worker

week 3 ⇒ 238 / 2 = 119 sq. ft. of floors installed per worker

b)

multi-factor productivity = total output in $ / (labor + materials + overhead)

week 1 ⇒ (420 x $15) / [(4 x 40 x $17) + (480 x $5) + (4 x 40 x $17 x 1.2) = $6,300 / ($2,720 + $2,400 + $3,264) = 0.75

week 2 ⇒ (325 x $15) / [(3 x 40 x $17) + (351 x $5) + (3 x 40 x $17 x 1.2) = $4,875 / ($2,040 + $1,755 + $2,448) = 0.78

week 3 ⇒ (238 x $15) / [(2 x 40 x $17) + (250 x $5) + (2 x 40 x $17 x 1.2) = $3,570 / ($1,360 + $1,250 + $1,632) = 0.84

Media Bias Inc. issued bonds 10 years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 35-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point in time as described below: Real rate of return 5 % Inflation premium 4 Risk premium 4 Total return 13 % Assume that 10 years later, due to good publicity, the risk premium is now 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 25 years remaining until maturity.

Answers

Answer:

remaining time to maturity 25 years, annual coupon

face value $1,000

when the bonds were issued, the market interest rate was 13%, which was identical to the coupon rate, therefore, the bonds were sold at par

now, 10 years later, the market interest rate is 12% (1% less), so the current market price is:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 12%)²⁵ = $58.82

PV of coupon payments = $130 x 7.8431 (PV annuity factor, 25 periods, 12%) = $1,019.63

bond's current market price = $58.82 + $1,019.63 = $1,078.45

Conventional wisdom says one should measure a manager's investment performance over an entire market cycle. What arguments support this contention? What arguments contradict it?

Answers

Answer:

In every form of analysis, it is always safer to take a macro or holistic view of the situation. This is true for the investment performance of a manager. One investment decision that went right does not suffice to classify an investment portfolio manager as proficient, neither is one that went south enough to tag him deficient.

The forecasting ability of managers, on the balance of probability, will vary for different cases, with a helicopter view of providing a more accurate measure of their performance.

However, if it was possible to analyse the market for volatility and adjust our forecasts it becomes unnecessary to look at and analyse all the information from a 12-month cycle before coming to terms about the performance of the manager.

In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $5 million, patent; $3 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $5 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life. What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items

Answers

Answer:

$1,000,000 per year

Explanation:

We can infer from the above information that the intangible assets with indefinite period are checked annually, for impairment hence patent is a limited life intangible.

Therefore;

The amount of amortization of patent at the end of first year

= Patent value ÷ Useful life

= $5 million ÷ 5 years

= $1,000,000 per year

Therefore, the company should amortize $1,000,000 per year.

During the year, Next Tec Corp. had the following cash flows: receipt from customers, $15,000; receipt from the bank for long-term borrowing, $6,500; payment to suppliers, $5,900; payment of dividends; $1,700, payment to workers, $2,900; and payment for machinery, $12,500. What amount would be reported for net financing cash flows in the statement of cash flows?

Answers

Answer:

$4,800

Explanation:

Next Tech corporation had the following cash flows

Receipt from customers= $15,000

Receipt from bank for long term borrowing= $6,500

Payment to suppliers= $5,900

Payment of dividend= $1,700

Payment to workers= $2,900

Payment for machinery= $12,500

Therefore, the amount that should be reported for the net financing cash flows in the statement of cash flow can be calculated as follows

= Receipt for bank long term borrowing-payment of dividend

= $6,500-$1,700

= $4,800

Hence the amount reported for net financing cash flows in the statement of cash flow is $4,800

The Busby Corporation had a share price at the start of the year of $26.20, paid a dividend of $0.56 at the end of the year, and had a share price of $29.00 at the end of the year. Which of the following is closest to the rate of return of investments in companies with equal risk to The Busby Corporation for this period?

A) 5%
B) 7%
C) 9%
D) 13%

Answers

Answer:

D) 13%

Explanation:

Calculation for the percentage that is closest to the rate of return of investments

First step is to find the balance amount of the share price using this formula

Share price =(End of the year Share price + End of the year dividend)-Start of the year Share price

Let plug in the formula

Share price =($29.00+$0.56)-$26.20

Share price =$29.56-$26.20

Share price =$3.36

Second step is to find the rate of return of investments

Using this formula

Rate of return of investments= Share price/Start of the year Share price

Rate of return of investments

Let plug in the formula

Rate of return of investments=$3.36/$26.20

Rate of return of investments=0.13*100

Rate of return of investments=13%

Therefore the percentage that is closest to the rate of return of investments in companies with equal risk to The Busby Corporation for this perio will be 13%

The T-bill rate is 4 percent, and the expected return on the market is 11 percent.
a. Which projects have a higher expected return than the firm's 11 percent cost of capital?
b. Which projects should be accepted?
c. Which projects would be incorrectly accepted or rejected if the firm's overall cost of capital were used as a hurdle rate?

Answers

Answer:

Projects Y and Z

b. Projects W and Z

c. Projects W and Y

Explanation:

CAPM equation : Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta x (Expected market return - Risk free rate)

W = 4% + [0.85 x (11% - 4%)] = 9.95%

X = 4% + (0.92 x 7%) = 10.44%

Y = 4% + (1.09 x 7%) = 11.63%

Z = 4% + (1.35 x 7%) = 13.45%

Projects Y and Z have an expected return greater than 11%

b. Projects W and Z should be accepted because its expected return is higher than the IRR

c. Project W would be incorrectly rejected because the expected rate of return is less than the overall cost of capital (i.e. 9.95 is less than 11). But its expected rate of return is greater than the IRR

Y would be incorrectly accepted because its expected rate of return is greater  than the overall cost of capital but its expected rate of return is less than the IRR

Prepare a statement of cost of goods manufactured.

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods manufactured= $490,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Overhead:

Indirect material usage 10,000

Indirect labor 10,000

Factory water and electricity 20,000

Depreciation-factory 50,000

Total overhead= 90,000

To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

Direct materials= 100,000 + 20,000 - 30,000= 90,000

cost of goods manufactured= 60,000 + 90,000 + 300,000 + 90,000 - 50,000

cost of goods manufactured= $490,000

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $20 per unit and whose variable expense is $17 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $8,100. Required: If the company's fixed expenses increase by $600, what would become the new break-even point in dollar sales?

Answers

Answer:

the new break-even point in dollar sales is  $29,000.

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity where a firm makes neither a profit nor a loss.

Break even point (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Where, Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

                                                        = ($20 - $17) ÷ $20

                                                        = 0.30

New Break even point (dollar sales) = ($8,100 + $600) ÷ 0.30

                                                            = $29,000

One of the problems with licensing as a method of achieving international business is that it is a much more difficult procedure to implement than the other methods.
a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: False

Licensing involves a company giving another company in another country/market permission to produce its products or use its likeness. The company that gets the license will then pay the parent company specified amounts for being able to do so.

This method of international business is cheap as the company licensing will see its brand spread to other countries without actually having to worry about set-up costs in the other country which can be very high. It is therefore one of the easiest methods of expanding to international markets there is.

Based on the following production and sales estimates for May, determine the number of units expected to be manufactured in May. Estimated inventory (units), May 1 30,000 Desired inventory (units), May 31 25,000 Expected sales volume (units): South region 20,000 West region 40,000 North region 20,000 Unit sales price $10 a.85,000 b.105,000 c.75,000 d.80,000

Answers

Answer:

Production= 75,000 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated inventory (units), May 1 30,000

Desired inventory (units), May 31 25,000

Expected sales volume (units):

South region 20,000

West region 40,000

North region 20,000

To calculate the production for May, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= (20,000 + 40,000 + 20,000) + 25,000 - 30,000

Production= 75,000 units

(d) Accounts payable of $60,000.
Current liabilityNoncurrent liabilityBoth

Answers

Answer:

(a) A note payable for $100,000 due in 2 years.  - Noncurrent liability

Non-current liabilities are obligations of payments by the company that extend for over a year. This note payable is due in 2 years and so is a Non-current liability.

(b) A 10-year mortgage payable of $200,000 payable in ten $20,000 annual payments.  - Noncurrent liability

This obligation also extends for over a year thereby satisfying the definition of a Non-current liability

(c) Interest payable of $15,000 on the mortgage.  - Current liability

Current Liabilities being the opposite of Non-current liabilities are obligations that are due within a year. The $15,000 interest payment is the amount due for the year and so is a Current Liability.

The advantages of using typedef do not include:a. Making programs more portable by allowing data types to be easily changed to meet system specifications.b. Making type names shorter.c. Making programs more readable.d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.

Answers

Answer:

d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.

Explanation:

In the programming language C and C++ there is a keyword i.e typedef that function is to provide a new name. It is to be used to develop an extra name for the other data type but it does not develop a new data type

Here the advantage of using typedef is as follows

1. It allows the data types for meeting the specifications of the system

2. The name would become shorter

3. Readable program

but it does not increase the efficiency

Hence, the last option is correct

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

In the scenario being described, it can be said that Barn is a Donee Beneficiary. This is a third-party beneficiary that occurs when the second party in the contract does not owe anything to the third party but wants to provide them with the benefit of the performance of the first party. Which since in this scenario, Denise wants to provide Barn with all the benefits of the contract even though she does not owe him anything, then it technically makes Barn a Donee Beneficiary to the Long Life Insurance Contract.

The following information pertains to J Company's outstanding stock for 2021:

Shares issued, 7/1/2021 5,000

Preferred stock, $100 par, 7% cumulative
Shares outstanding, 1/1/2021 4,000

What is the number of shares J should use to calculate 2018 basic earnings per share?

a. 20,000.
b. 22,500.
c. 25,000 .
d. 27,000.

Answers

Answer: b. 22,500

Explanation:

J should use the total number of outstanding common stock at end of year to calculate 2018 basic earnings.

As a result of the Stock-split, the shares are split into 2 for 1.

There were 10,000 shares split so;

= 10,000 * 2

= 20,000

On the 1st of July, 5,000 shares were issued. This means that up till December 2021, the stock was outstanding for 6 months.

This will reflected by;

= 5,000 * 6/12

= 2,500 shares

Total shares = 20,000 + 2,500

= 22,500 shares
