Jeremy loans $2,500 to his son on the condition that he repays with 5 annual payments consisting of interest on the outstanding balance and equal amounts of principal repayments. Payments are made at the end of the year. Jeremy deposits the total payment he receives into a fund that accumulates at the same interest rate. Given that his son repaid $517.50 at the end of the 5th year, how much has the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years?
Answer:
$2,969.22
Explanation:
Equal principal repayment=$2,500/5
Equal principal repayment=$500
The fact that Jeremy's son repaid $517.50 at the end of the 5th year, means that the interest paid in year 5 is the difference between the amount repaid($517.50) and the equal principal repayment($500)
interest paid in year 5=$517.50-$500=$17.50
That also means that the balance outstanding at the beginning of year 5( at the end of year 4) is $500, which effectively means that the interest rate on the loan is the determined thus:
interest paid in year 5=balance at the end of year 4*interest rate
$17.50=$500*interest rate
interest rate=$17.50/$500
interest rate=3.50%
The schedule of repayment is attached
The first repayment would be invested for 4 years, since it is occurring at the end of year 1( in years 2-5), the year 2 repayment would be invested for only 3 years and so on.
FV value of reinvestment of repayment=$587.50*(1+3.50%)^4+$570.00*(1+3.5%)^3+$552.50*(1+3.5%)^2+$535.00*(1+3.5%)^1+$517.50
FV value of reinvestment of repayment=$2,969.22
Answer:
The amount the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years is $2,648.23.
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculation of interest rate
The interest rate can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
Interest rate = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv,type) .............(1)
Where;
nper = number of periods = number of years = 5
pmt = Fixed annual payments = Amount repaid by his son at the end of the 5th year = $517.50 = 517.50
pv = present value = Loan amount = $2,500 = 2500
fv = future value = desired cash balance after last payment = 0
type = when payments are due (0 = end of period. 1 = beginning of period) = 0
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Interest rate RATE(5,517.50,-2500,0,0) .................. (2)
Inputting =RATE(5,517.50,-2500,0,0) into a cell in an excel sheet (Note: as done in the attached excel file), we have:
Interest rate = 1.16%
Step 2: Calculation of the amount the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (3)
Where,
FV = Future value = The amount the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years =
M = Fixed annual payments = $517.50
r = Interest rate = 1.16%, or 0.0116
n = number of years = 5
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
FV = $517.50 * (((1 + 0.0116)^5 - 1) / 0.0116)
FV = $517.50 * 5.11735342258641
FV = $2,648.23
Therefore, the amount the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years is $2,648.23.

If a binding price floor is imposed on the video game market, then Question 8 options: the quantity of video games demanded will decrease. the quantity of video games supplied will increase. a surplus of video games will develop. All of the above are correct.
Answer:
All of the above are correct.
Explanation:
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
Because price is set above equilibrium price, quantity supplied would exceed quantity demanded and there would be a surplus.
Because price is set above equilibrium price, quantity demanded will decrease
Suppose that the demand in period 1 was 7 units and the demand in period 2 was 9 units. Assume that the forecast for period 1 was for 5 units. If the firm uses exponential smoothing with an alpha value of .20, what should be the forecast for period 3
Answer:
6.12units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what should be the forecast for period 3
First step is to calculate the Forecast for period 2 using this formula
Forecast for period 2 = Alpha * Actual demand for period 1 + (1-alpha) * Forecast for period 1
Let plug in the
Forecast for period 2= 0.2 * 7+ (1-0.2)* 5
Forecast for period 2= 5.4 units
Now let determine the Forecast for period 3
Using this formula
Forecast for period 3 = Alpha* Actual demand for period 2 + (1- alpha) * Forecast for period 2
Let plug in the formula
Forecast for period 3= 0.2 * 9 + (1-0.2)* 5.4
Forecast for period 3=6.12units
Therefore what should be the forecast for period 3 is 6.12 units
Saunders and Flimsy Partnership paid dividends of $0.27 and $0.15 per share last year. If yesterday's closing price was $12.27, what is the current yield on the stock
Answer:
the current yield on the stock is 3.42%
Explanation:
the computation of the current yield on the stock is shown below:
Current yield = Annual dividends paid ÷ Current market closing price
= ($0.27 + $0.15) ÷ $12.27
= $0.42 ÷ $12.27
= 3.42%
hence, the current yield on the stock is 3.42%
we simply applied the above formula to determine the current yield on the stock
Camille Noah is investing $5,000 in an account that pays an annually compounded rate of 6.75 percent for three years. What is the interest on interest if interest is compounded
Answer:
$69.88
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the interest on interest if interest is compounded
First step is to calculate Simple interest per year
Deposit today represent PV = $5,000
Interest rate represent i = 6.75%
No. of years represent n = 3
Simple interest per year = $5,000 × (0.0675)
Simple interest per year= $337.50
Second step is to calculate the Simple interest for 3 years
Simple interest for 3 years = $337.50 × 3
Simple interest for 3 years= $1,012.50
Fourth step is to calculate the Future value with compound interest (FV3)
FV3 = $5,000 (1 + 0.0675)^3
FV3=$5,000+(1.0675)^3
FV3= $6,082.38
Now let determine the Interest on interest
Interest on interest = $6,082.38 - $5,000 - $1,012.50
Interest on interest = $69.88
Therefore the interest on interest if interest is compounded is $69.88
There are several attempts to explain Marvels Success via competetive strategy but they fall flat: competitve strategy, with this specific case neither predicts nor explains the outcome why?
Answer:
It has been a well known fact that competitive strategy creates a unique value for a target set of movie customers. However, it is not able to predict nor explain the outcome due to the fact that Marvel only focused on trying to compete to be the best in comic and superhero films which thus resulted in basically a case whereby there was a competition in which one participant wins totally and another loses without gaining any objectives and thus they were not able to win.
Explanation:
This question is taken from a book titled "The Marvel Way: Restoring a Blue Ocean". It was written by W. Chan Kim, Renee Mauborgne, Michael Olenick. The central theme of the book was about one of the greatest turnarounds in modern business history by the then Marvel CEO with the name Peter Cuneo who was responsible for turning the business around and succeeded in launching a blue ocean.
From the question, neither predicts nor explains the outcome because;
It has been a well known fact that competitive strategy creates a unique value for a target set of movie customers.

Explain the reason for not reporting property and equipment at fair value except in specified circumstances. What do our OER textbook authors say is normally used as a guideline
Answer and Explanation:
Property, Plant and Equipment(PPE) are reported are reported at book value in the balance sheet statement. Over it's useful life, depreciation is allocated as expense to PPE and accumulated depreciation is calculated for total of depreciation expense to get net book value(cost less depreciation expense). PPE is only reported at fair value when it is going to be sold or it is damaged/impaired asset. Otherwise it is not useful to report PPE at fair value in the statement.
You want to have $3 million in real dollars in an account when you retire in 40 years. The nominal return on your investment is 10 percent and the inflation rate is 4.8 percent.What real amount must you deposit each year to achieve your goal? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)Deposit amount $
Answer: $25078
Explanation:
Firstly, we'll find the real interest rate which will be:
(1 + R) = (1 + r)(1 + h)
(1 + 10%) = (1 + r)(1 + 4.8%)
(1 + 0.1) = (1 + r)(1 + 0.048)
1.1 = (1 + r)(1.048)
r = 4.96%.
Now the annual deposit will be gotten by using the annuity future value which will be:
3 million = C(1.0496^40-1) / 0.0496
3 million = C(5.3995) / 0.0496
3 million = 119.627C
C = 3 million/119.627
C = 25078
Therefore, the real amount that must be deposited each year to achieve the goal is $25078

The nominal interest rate is 6%. Expected inflation is 2%. Actual inflation is 1%. Calculate the ex-ante and ex-post real interest rates. Who benefits from lower actual inflation
Answer:
1. Ex-ante real interest rate is:
= 4%
2. Ex-post real interest rate is:
= 5%
3. The LENDER benefits from lower actual inflation. By this, the Ex-ante real interest rate is lower than the Ex-post real interest rate at which the borrower will repay the loan.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Nominal interest = 6%
Expected inflation = 2%
Actual inflation = 1%
Ex-ante real interest rate = 4% (6% - 2%)
Ex-post real interest rate = 5% (6% - 1%)
b) The implication is that inflation is lower than expected, and this benefits the lender at the expense of the borrower. The opposite is applicable when the inflation is higher than expected, and the result benefits the borrower at the expense of the lender.

A Type I subsequent event refers to _______. an event that occurred after the date of the financial statements an event that is typified by debit entries to contra-revenue accounts a contingent event, that may or may not occur an event that most likely occurred before the date of the financial statements
Answer:
that most likely occurred before the date of the financial statements
Explanation:
Financial accounting is an accounting technique used for analyzing, summarizing and reporting of financial transactions like sales costs, purchase costs, payables and receivables of an organization using standard financial guidelines such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and financial accounting standards board (FASB).
Basically, financial statements are formally written records of the business and financial activities of a business entity or organization. The four (4) main types of financial statements are; cash-flow statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and income statement.
Furthermore, there are two (2) main methods used in financial accounting for analyzing financial statements and these are;
I. Vertical analysis.
II. Horizontal analysis.
A Type I subsequent event refers to an event that most likely occurred before the date of the financial statements. Thus, it must have been reported or posted before the date of publishing a financial statement.
On the other hand, any event that is most likely to occur after the date a financial statement is issued, is referred to as a Type II subsequent.
Aurillo Equipment Company (AEC) projected that its ROE for next year would be just 6
percent. However, the financial staff has determined that the firm can increase its ROE by refinancing some high interest bonds currently outstanding. The firm’s total debt will remain at $200,000 and the debt ratio will hold constant at 80 percent, but the interest rate on the refinanced debt will be 10 percent. The rate on the old debt is 14 percent. Refinancing will not affect sales, which are projected to be $300,000. EBIT will be 11 percent of sales and the firm’s tax rate is 40 percent. If AEC refinances its high interest bonds, what will be its projected new ROE?
Answer:
Aurillo Equipment Company (AEC)
If AEC refinances its high interest bonds, its projected new ROE will be:
= 15.6%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total debt = $200,000
Debt ratio = 80%
Total assets = $250,000 ($200,000/80%)
Equity = $50,000 ($250,000 - $200,000)
Old interest rate on old debt = 14%
New interest rate on refinanced debt = 10%
Total interest = $20,000 ($200,000 * 10%)
Sales revenue = $300,000
EBIT = $33,000
Interest 20,000
Before tax $13,000
Tax = 5,200 (40% of $13,000)
Net income $7,800
ROE = Net income/Equity * 100
= ($7,800/$50,000 * 100)
= 15.6%
In a continuous review inventory system, the lead time for door knobs is weeks. The standard deviation of demand during the lead time is units. The desired cycle-service level is percent. The supplier of door knobs streamlined its operations and now quotes a 1 week lead time. Refer to the standard normal tableLOADING... for z-values. How much can the safety stock be reduced without reducing the percent cycle-service level? The safety stock can be reduced by nothing door knobs. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
The answer is "116 doorknobs".
Explanation:
The standard deviation of the demand before the (four weeks) protection intervals = [tex]\sigma-d \times (\sqrt{L}) = 100 \ units\\[/tex]
The desired cycle service level is [tex]99\%[/tex].Therefore, [tex]z = 2.33[/tex]
The safety stocks for the four-weeks protecting interval are:
Safety stock [tex]= z\times [ \sigma-d \times (\sqrt{L})][/tex]
[tex]= 2.33 \times 100 \\\\= 233\ door\ knobs[/tex]
The safety stocks require for the one-week protection interval are: [tex]\sigma-dLT = \sigma-dt \times (\sqrt{L}) = \sigma-dt \times (\sqrt{4}) = 100\ door\ knobs\\\\\sigma-d = \frac{100}{(\sqrt{4})} = \frac{100}{2} = 50 \ door\ knobs\\\\[/tex]
Safety stock [tex]= z\times \sigma-dt = 2.33 \times 50 = 116.5 \ or\ 117 \ door\ knobs\\\\[/tex]
Safety stock reduction[tex]= 233 -117 = 116 \ door\ knobs[/tex]

Which of the following statements about striving to reduce labor costs per pair produced at each of the company's plants is true?
a. A company cannot achieve labor costs per pair produced that are close to the lowest in the industry (in those geographic regions where it has plants) unless its annual total compensation of plant workers is below the average annual total compensation paid by all companies with plants in these same regions.
b. All companies, regardless of the strategy being employed, should pursue actions to manage employee compensation and labor productivity in a manner that results in labor costs per pair produced that are equal to (or very close to) the industry-low in each region where the company has plants.
c. It is very difficult for a company producing branded footwear with a high S/Q rating to achieve labor costs per pair produced that are below the industry average in each geographic region where the company has plants.

e. It is more cost effective for a company to compensate plant workers at levels that are close to the highest in the industry in each geographic region where it has plants than it is for a company to pursue actions to keep labor costs per pair produced below the industry average in each geographic region where it has plants.
