Answer:
D. regulate the money supply.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve System (popularly referred to as the 'Fed') was created by the Federal Reserve Act, passed by the U.S Congress on the 23rd of December, 1913. The Fed began operations in 1914 and just like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a United States government agency.
Generally, it comprises of twelve (12) Federal Reserve Bank regionally across the United States of America, which are commonly referred to as Federal Reserve District Bank.
Like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a government agency that is saddled with the following responsibilities;
I. The Fed controls the issuance of currency in United States of America: it promotes public goals such as economic growth, low inflation, and the smooth operation of financial markets.
II. It provides banking services to all the commercial banks in the country because the Federal Reserve is the "lender of last resort."
III. It regulates banking activities in the United States of America: it has the power to supervise and regulate banks.
Additionally, the Fed is saddled with the responsibility of selling government securities such as treasury bills to the public.
However, the most important function of the Fed is to regulate the money supply through the establishment of monetary policies.
Monetary policy can be defined as the actions (macroeconomic policies) adopted and undertaken by the central bank of a particular country to control the money supply and interest rates so as to boost or enhance economic growth. The central bank (Fed) uses monetary policies to manage inflation, economic growth through long-term interest rates and level of unemployment in a country.

A successful lease agreement is created so that both the lessee and lessor reap some benefits. Tax and depreciation write-offs are some critical reasons for leasing, but there are several other qualitative reasons for leasing. Below are two situations in which a firm must decide whether to lease or to buy a particular asset. Based on your understanding of the advantages to leasing from a qualitative perspective, what is the firm likely to do in each situation—lease or buy? Assume all other quantitative factors remain constant.
Compnay #1:
Win Jet Corp. is a private-jet charter company. Due to increased demand during the summer, it needs to add three more jets to its fleet. Win Jet is more likely to ___________
Compnay #2:
Kiran owns a medium-sized printing business. She owns three one-color (black) printers and needs a color printer for volume print production. She wants to keep the operating expenses related to the color printer low, so she should ____________ a color printer.
Answer:
Company 1 : Lease new jets.
Company 2 : Buy a color printer.
Explanation:
Lease and buy are both options available to a business for acquiring an equipment. Lease option is best suited to company 1 where the demand for private jet charter has increased in summer. The demand will not remain constant in other seasons so leasing the jets for summer season is best and less costly than buying them.
For company 2, it is better to purchase color printer rather than leasing it as the demand for volume print stays throughout the year and she wants to keep her cost at minimum. Leasing the printer will be an additional monthly expense while buying the printer is one time expense.
10. Which of the following is NOT a reason that real GDP is a poor measure of a nation's
economic welfare?
A)Real GDP omits measures of political freedom.
b) Real GDP does not consider the value of people's leisure time.
c) Real GDP does not include the underground economy.
D) Real GDP omits household production.
Answer:
A)Real GDP omits measures of political freedom.
Explanation:
The Real Gross Domestic Product is a measure of all the goods produced in an economy within a year but with changes in price levels triggered by inflation factored in. Political freedom does not affect economic freedom. People may be restricted politically but still, go about their normal economic activities.
Because the Real GDP basically focuses on transactions done in the markets, it might not accurately measure the growth rate because some people conduct illegal businesses underground that are not captured by the government, while some produce their goods at home. Also, leisure time is not factored and it is important because an increase in leisure time will affect time spent in activities that improve the economy.

The controller of Sandhill Industries has collected the following monthly expense data for use in analyzing the cost behavior of maintenance costs. Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours January $2,880 3,820 February 3,273 4,364 March 3,928 6,546 April 4,632 8,619 May 3,491 5,455 June 4,844 8,730 (a1) Determine the variable-cost components using the high-low method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places e.g. 2.25.)
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours
January $2,880 3,820
February 3,273 4,364
March 3,928 6,546
April 4,632 8,619
May 3,491 5,455
June 4,844 8,730
To calculate the variable component using the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,844 - 2,880) / (8,730 - 3,820)
Variable cost per unit= $0.4
ABC and XYZ are all-equity firms. ABC has 1,750 shares outstanding at a market price of $20 a share while XYZ has 2,500 shares outstanding at a price of $28 a share. ABC is acquiring XYZ for $75,000 in cash. The incremental value of the acquisition is $8,000. What is the net present value of acquiring XYZ to ABC
Answer:
the net present value is -$32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below;
= (Number of oustanding shares × market price per share) + incremental value of acquisition - acquiring value in cash
= (1,750 × $20) + $8,000 - $75,000
= $43,000 - $75,000
= -$32,000
Hence, the net present value is -$32,000

California wildfires destroy vineyards across the Napa Valley. This is during the season when wine festivals occur most often all over the country. Demonstrate the effect of these events on the equilibrium price and quantity of wine.
Answer:
As a result of the wildfire, supply would fall. there would be a leftward shift of the supply curve. the quantity supplied of wine would reduce and price would increase
as a result of the festival, there would be an increase in demand. this would lead to an outward shift of the demand curve. Thus, the quantity demanded would increase and price would increase
taking these two effects together, there would be an indeterminate change in equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price would increase

Truck-Or-Treat specializes in leasing trucks to delivery companies. It is considering adding 25 more trucks to its available stock. Doing so will not change the risk of the company's business. The trucks depreciate over five years under the straight-line depreciation method, all the way to zero. Truck-Or-Treat believes that these newly added trucks would be able to bring the company $220,000 in annual earnings before taxes and depreciation (i.e., sales revenue minus costs of goods sold) for five years. The company is unlevered. It is in 21 percent tax rate bracket. The required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity is 15 percent. The risk-free rate, e.g., the Treasury bill rate, is 6 percent per year.
Required:
Calculate the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company. (In other words, what should be the "initial investment" of this unlevered truck project such that the project's NPV equals $0?
Answer:
The maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.
Explanation:
Let:
x = Maximum price for the new truck = initial investment = ?
AEBTD = Annual earnings before taxes and depreciation = $220,000
T = Tax rate = 21%, or 0.21
n = Number of years = 5
Since the it is assumed that Truck-or-Treat remains an unlevered company, this implies the required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity of 15 percent is the relevant rate of return to use.
Therefore, we have:
r = required annual rate of return = 15%, or 0.15
D = Annual depreciation = Maximum price for the new truck / Number of useful years = x / 5 = 0.2x
P = Annual cash flow = ((AEDTD - D) * (1 - T)) + D = ((220000 - 0.2x) * (1 - 0.21)) + 0.2x = ((220000 - 0.2x) * 0.79) + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.158x + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.042x
Using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity, we have:
PVP = Present value of annual cash flow = P * ((1 - (1/(1 + r))^n) / r) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * ((1 - (1/(1 + 0.15))^5) / 0.15) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * 3.3521550980114 = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x
For the NPV of this unlevered truck project to be equal to $0, we must have:
x = PVP
That is:
x = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x
Solving for x, we have:
x + 0.140790514116479x = 582,604.56
x(1 + 0.140790514116479) = 582,604.56
x1.140790514116479 = 582,604.56
x = 582,604.56 / 1.140790514116479 = $510,702.49
Therefore, the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.
Suppose that Dmitri, an economist from a research institute in Texas, and Frances, an economist from a public television program, are arguing over saving incentives. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: Frances: I think it's safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain an improvement in living standards. Dmitri: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards. Frances: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference.Because I don't. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to _____. Depite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? A. Employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations. B. Central banks should focus more on maintaining low unemployment than on maintaining low inflation. C. Business managers can raise profit more easily by reducing costs than by raising revenue.
Answer:
Difference in scientific judgementsA. Employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations.Explanation:
The difference in opinion between these two is based on a difference between in scientific judgments because they believe that different things will happen in response to implementing a different form of taxes.
Regardless of what they think in the above regard, these economists are most likely to support the outsourcing of work if it is cheaper to do so because economists generally believe that the most efficient method of production should be undertaken.
Assume that a $1,00,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with five years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 5%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 11.00%. Using ths information and ignoring the other costs involved, the value of the T-note is calculated as $773,871.23
Based on this calculation and an understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statements:
1. Assuming the interest rates remain constant, the T-notes price is expected to _____________. (Increase or Decrease) Please Explain Why.
2. The T-note described is selling at a ________________. (Premium or Discount) Please Explain Why.
3. When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period N in the present value formula used to calculate the price of the bond is treated in terms of ____________ periods. (Annual, 6 month, 4 month, 12 month)
Answer:
Completing the following statements based on the calculations and an understanding of semiannual coupon bonds:
1. Assuming the interest rates remain constant, the T-notes price is expected to _____________. (Increase or Decrease).
The reason for the increase in the T-notes price is the addition of the amortization for the 6-month period of $17,563.
2. The T-note described is selling at a ________________. (Premium or Discount)
The T-note sells at a discount because the face value is greater than the price. This implies that at the end of the maturity period of 5 years, the amount that will be received or paid is $1,000,000 and not the price that was initially received or paid.
3. When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period N in the present value formula used to calculate the price of the bond is treated in terms of ____________ periods. (Annual, 6 month, 4 month, 12 month)
Semiannual = 6 months (12/2).
Explanation:
a) Data anc Calculations:
Face value of semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note = $1,000,000
T-note price = $773,871.23
Discount on the note = $226,128.77 ($1,000,000 - $773,871.23)
Maturity period = 5 years
Coupon rate = 5%
Yield rate = 11%
Semiannual coupon payment = $25,000 ($1,000,000 * 2.5%)
Semiannual interest expense = $42,563 ($773,871.23 * 5.5%)
Amortization of discount = $17,563 ($42,563 - $25,000)
The Converting Department of Osaka Napkin Company uses the average cost method and had 2,100 units in work in process that were 70% complete at the beginning of the period. During the period, 26,500 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,200 units in process that were 30% complete at the end of the period.
a. Determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs for the period.
b. Determine the number of equivalent units of production for the period.
Answer:
a. Number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs for the period:
= 26,500 units + 1,200 units
= 27,700 units
b. Number of equivalent units of production for the period:
= 26,500 units + (1200 units*30%)
= 26,500 units + 360 units
= 26,860 units

Suppose that Raphael, an economist from an AM talk radio program, and Susan, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing Over saving incentives. The following dialogue Shows an excerpt from their debate:
Susan: I think it's safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain an improvement in living standards.
Raphael: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards.

The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to_____________ . Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
a. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
b. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
c. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.
Answer:
a. Difference in values
b. a. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
Explanation:
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to difference in values.
Economists are known to disagree a lot with each other and this is down to them having different values and perspectives with regards to several economic decisions. This is why there are different economic theories subscribed to by economists such as Keynesian and New Classical theories.
Despite these disagreements however, there are certain things they would always agree on and one of those is that rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
The logic behind this is that imposing a rent ceiling would dissuade real estate investors from putting in more money to develop properties because the rent ceiling would limit the returns that they can get.
Supply of real estate would also fall because less investors would go into the market because they would fear being unable to recoup adequate returns on account of the rent ceiling.

Flexible Budgeting
At the beginning of the period, the Grinding Department budgeted direct labor of $55,200 and property tax of $30,000 for 2,400 hours of production. The department actually completed 2,900 hours of production. Determine the budget for the department, assuming that it uses flexible budget.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The flexible budget is adapting the standard costs to the actual quantity.
Fabricating Department:
Depreciation= $2,300
Standard hourly rate= 2,300/640= $3.594
The department completed 600 hours of production.
Actual budget:
Depreciation= 2,300
Direct labor= 3.594*600= 2,156.4
Total cost= $4,456.4
Grinding Department:
Property tax= $30,000
Standard hourly rate= 55,200/2,400= $23
The department completed 2,900 hours of production.
Actual budget:
Property tax= $30,000
Direct labor= 23*2,900= 66,700
Total cost= $96,700
Feldpausch Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system: Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity Assembly $1,372,578 61,800 machine-hours Processing orders $63,235 2,010 orders Inspection $151,316 2,090 inspection-hours The company makes 600 units of product W26B a year, requiring a total of 1,200 machine-hours, 78 orders, and 34 inspection-hours per year. The product's direct materials cost is $49.55 per unit and its direct labor cost is $12.44 per unit. The product sells for $128.70 per unit. According to the activity-based costing system, the product margin for product W26B is:_____.a. $8,458.52.b. $10,920.12.c. $40,026.00.d. $10,912.40.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rates:
Assembly= 1,372,578/61,800= $22.21 per machine-hour
Processing orders= 63,235/2,010= $31.46 per order
Inspection= 151,316/2,090= $72.4 per inspection-hour
Now, we allocate costs to W26B:
Assembly= 22.21*1,200= 26,652
Processing orders= 31.46*78= 2,453.88
Inspection= 72.4*34= 2,461.6
Total allocated costs= $31,567.48
Finally, the unitary cost and margin for W26B:
Unitary allocated cost= 31,567.48/600= $52.61
Unitary total cost= 49.55 + 12.44 + 52.61= $114.6
Product margin= 128.7*600 - 114.6*600= $8,460
g Determine the amount to be added to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in each of the following cases and indicate the ending balance in each case. a. Credit balance of $370 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts just prior to adjustment. Using the aging method, the balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as
Answer:
Missing word "is estimated as $8,820. Amount added Ending balance b. Credit balance of $450 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts just prior to adjustment. Bad debt expense is estimated at 2% of credit sales, which totaled $1,111,000 for the year. Amount added Ending balance"
a. Amount added = Balance as per aging method - Credit balance
Amount added = $8,820 - $370
Amount added = $8,450
So, Amount added = $8,450, Ending balance = $8,820
b. Amount added = 2% * Credit sale
Amount added = 2% * $1,111,000
Amount added = $22,220
Ending balance = $22,220 + $370
Ending balance = $21,850
Mighty Safe Fire Alarm is currently buying 62,000 motherboards from MotherBoard, Inc. at a price of $66 per board. Mighty Safe is considering making its own motherboards. The costs to make the motherboards are as follows: direct materials, $32 per unit; direct labor, $12 per unit; and variable factory overhead, $15 per unit. Fixed costs for the plant would increase by $87,000. Which option should be selected and why
Answer:
d) Make, Increase in profits $434,000

Direct labor (62000*12) $744,000
Variable overhead (62000*15) $930,000
Purchase cost (62000*66) $4,092,000
Total relevant cost $3,658,000 $4,092,000
So, the Company Should make because the cost is lower. Increase in profits $434,000 ($,092,000-$3,658,000)
If a company purchases equipment costing $4,500 on credit, the effect on the accounting equation would be: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. Liabilities decrease $4,500 and assets increase $4,500. Equity decreases $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500. Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.
Answer: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, since the company buys an equipment which is an asset to the company, then there will be an increase in the assets by $4500.
Also, in thus case, the equipment was gotten on credit which is a liability. Therefore, the liabilities will increase by $4500 as well.
East Valve Distributors distributes industrial valves and control devices. The Eastern control device has an annual demand of 9,375 units and sells for $100 per unit. The cost of ordering is $40 per order and the average carrying cost per unit per year is $0.75. Determine the economic order quantity.
Answer:
1000
Explanation:
Given:
Annual DEMAND, D = 9375
Holding cost, H = 0.75
Cost per order, S = 40
The Economic order quantity :
EOQ = √[(2 * D * S) / H]
EOQ = √[(2 * 9375 * 40) / 0.75]
EOQ = √[(750000) / 0.75]
EOQ = √1000000
EOQ = 1000
A physical count of merchandise inventory on November 30 reveals that there are 96 units on hand. Cost of goods sold (rounded) under FIFO is
Answer: $1,712
Explanation:
If the company uses FIFO it means that they sell their earlier inventory first. If there are 96 units on hand, it means that these 96 units would be the latest inventory.
That means that these 96 units comprise of:
86 units purchased on November 25 at $6.30 each and,10 units from the November 17 purchase of 58 units at $6.05 each which means 48 units were sold from this purchase.The units sold were therefore:
= (29 * 5.80) + (115 * 6.20) + (48 * 6.05)
= 168.20 + 713 + 290.40
= $1,171.60
= $1,712
A five-year note payable would appear on the balance sheet as a(n) a.disclosure in the notes only. b.long-term liability for the entire amount owed. c.current liability for any portion due within one year. d.intangible asset.
Answer: current liability for any portion due within one year
Explanation:
Notes payable are referred to as the written agreements whereby one party agrees to pay the other party a certain amount of money.
It should be noted that on the balance sheet, notes payable will appear as liabilities. In a situation when the amount is due within a year, then it's considered to be current liabilities while it's regarded as a long-term liability when it's more than a year,
It should be noted that a five-year note payable would appear on the balance sheet as current liability for any portion due within one year.
Pet Supply purchased some fixed assets two years ago at a cost of $43,800. It no longer needs these assets so it is going to sell them today for $32,500. The assets are classified as five-year property for MACRS. The MACRS rates are 20%, 32% 19.2%, 11.52%, 11.52%, 5.76%, for years 1 to 6, respectively. What is the net cash flow (A-T Salvage Value) from this sale if the firm's tax rate is 35 percent
Answer:
$28,483.4
Explanation:
The computation of the net cash flow is shown below;
Asset cost $43,800
MACRS Rate 0.2 0.32
8760 14016
So total depreciation is
= $8,760 + $14,016
= $22,776
Now
Book Value of the company is
= oriignal value - depreication
= $43,800 - $22,776
= $21,024
And,
Sale price = 32500
So,
Gain is
= $32,500 - $21,024
= $11,476
So,
Tax = 0.35% of 11476
= $4,016
And, finally
Net cashflows is
= Sale price - tax
= $28,483.4
Answer:
The correct solution is "28483".
Explanation:
According to the question,
Given:
Sales price,
= 32500
MARCS rates,
= [tex]43800\times 0.2[/tex]
= [tex]8760[/tex]
Or,
= [tex]43800\times 0.32[/tex]
= [tex]14016[/tex]
Now,
The total depreciation will be:
= [tex]8760+14016[/tex]
= [tex]22776[/tex]
The company's book value will be:
= [tex]Original \ value-Depreciation[/tex]
= [tex]43800-22776[/tex]
= [tex]21024[/tex]
Gain will be:
= [tex]32500-21024[/tex]
= [tex]11476[/tex]
Tax,
= [tex]35\times 11476[/tex]
= [tex]4016[/tex]
hence,
The net cashflows will be:
= [tex]Sale \ price-Tax[/tex]
= [tex]32500-4016[/tex]
= [tex]28483[/tex]
