Alberto is a lawyer and needs to calculate how much to charge a client for his services. He charges $225 for each hour. He spent 2 1/4 hours consulting with the client, 4 1/2 hours researching the client’s case, 3 hours negotiating with the other party’s lawyer, and 3 1/2 hours drawing up and filing court papers. How much will he charge?
Answer:
$2,475
Explanation:
Consulting with the client = 2 1/4 hours
Researching the client’s case = 4 1/2 hours
Negotiating with the other party’s lawyer = 3 hours
Drawing up and filing court papers = 3 1/2 hours
Total hours = 2 1/4 + 4 1/2 + 3 + 3 1/2
= 9/4 + 9/4 + 3 + 7/2
= (9+9+12+14) / 4
= 44/4
= 11 hours
Total hours = 11 hours
Charges per hour = $225
Total charges = Charges per hour × Total hours
= $225 × 11
= $2,475
Total charges = $2,475

Answer:
fixed-interval
Explanation:
Fixed interval schedule of monitoring by Supervisors in a workplace is the used of a fixed time to evaluate the activities that are happening in an organisation.
For example in this case Branson is at the same time every hour he opens the door to see what his employees are doing.
However they only work hard when the door opens and relax afterwards.
The main disadvantage of fixed interval schedule is that responses are high at the point of monitoring and declines afterwards.
The best option will be to use a random schedule that way the respondents will always be doing their best in case they are being monitored

A company is considering the purchase of a new machine for $48,000. Management expects that the machine can produce sales of $16,000 each year for the next 10 years. Expenses are expected to include direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead totaling $8,000 per year plus depreciation of $4,000 per year. All revenues and expenses except depreciation are on a cash basis. The payback period for the machine is 12 years. True False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Annual cash inflow = Sales revenue - Cash expenses
Annual cash inflow = $16,000 - $8,000
Annual cash inflow = $8,000
Cost of machine = $48,000
Payback period = Cost of machine/Annual cash inflows
Payback period = $48,000/$8,000
Payback period = 6 years
So, the payback period for the machine is 6 years.

According to the liquidity premium theory of the term structure, A. the interest rate on long-term bonds will equal an average of short-term interest rates that people expect to occur over the life of the long-term bonds plus a liquidity premium. B. buyers of bonds may prefer bonds of one maturity over another, yet interest rates on bonds of different maturities move together over time. C. even with a positive liquidity premium, if future short-term interest rates are expected to fall significantly, then the yield curve will be downward-sloping. D. all of the above. E. only A and B of the above.
Answer: D. all of the above.
Explanation:
The liquidity premium is the amount that is added to the interest rate in order to compensate investors for buying longer term and less liquid securities. This is why the interest rates on log-term bonds include a liquidity premium.
It is true that depending on preference, buyers of bonds prefer to buy one maturity over another but overall, the interest rates on different maturities move together in that an increase in the short term would see an increase in the long term.
Even if the liquidity premium is positive in order to compensate investors for longer maturities, it would not be enough to pull the interest rates up if they are falling significantly which would lead to a downward - sloping yield curve.
Choose the false statement about the Building and Personal Property Coverage Form. A Personal property owned and used to service the building is included in the building coverage B Tenant's improvements that are not legally removable are included in the Personal Property of Others Coverage C Personal property of others that is in the insured's care, custody, and control is automatically included up to $2,500 under coverage extensions D Building Coverage includes the building structure, completed additions, permanently installed fixtures, machinery and equipment
Answer: Tenant's improvements that are not legally removable are included in the Personal Property of Others Coverage
Explanation:
The false statement about the Building and Personal Property Coverage Form is that "Tenant's improvements that are not legally removable are included in the Personal Property of Others Coverage"
The above is incorrect. This is because the Tenants Improvements and Betterments are not covered under the
Personal Property of Others Coverage but rather, they are covered in the Business Personal Property.

Stock prices tend to ignore unexpected changes in dividend payments. Companies prefer to cut dividend payments rather than borrow money to fund a short-term cash need. Maintaining a steady dividend is a key goal of most dividend-paying companies. Share repurchases tend to increase agency costs. Short-term fluctuations in cash flows are the key factor in determining a company's dividend policy
Answer: B. Maintaining a steady dividend is a key goal of most dividend-paying companies.
Explanation:
Companies that pay dividends prefer in general, to maintain a steady dividend overtime. This does not necessarily mean that they will pay the same amount of dividend but rather that they will pay out dividends as within a certain percentage range of the net income.
Companies do not prefer to cut dividends so as not to send the wrong message so A is wrong. Share repurchases reduces agency costs so C is wrong. Short term fluctuations in cash flow are not the key favor in determining dividend policy as the company might still pay out the same regardless so this is wrong as well. Option B is the best answer.

An all-equity new firm is developing its business plan. It will require $615,000 of assets (which equals common equity), and it projects $450,000 of sales and $355,000 of operating costs for the first year. Management is reasonably sure of these numbers because of contracts with its customers and suppliers. It can borrow at a rate of 7.5%, but the bank requires it to have a TIE of at least 4.0. The firm will use debt and common equity for financing. What is the maximum debt to capital ratio (measured as debt/total common equity) the firm can use
Answer:
51.49%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the maximum debt to capital ratio (measured as debt/total common equity) the firm can use
First step is calculate the Interest Expense
Using this formula
Times Interest earned ratio = Earning Before Interest and Tax / Interest Expense
Let plug in the formula
4.0 = ( Sales - operating costs ) / Interest Expense
4.0 = ( $450,000 - $355,000 ) / Interest Expense
4.0 = $95,000 / Interest Expense
Interest Expense = $95,000 / 4.0
Interest Expense = $23,750
Second step is to calculate the Total Debt
Interest Expense = Total Debt * Interest on Debt
$23,750 = Total Debt *7.50%
Total Debt = $23,750 / 7.50%
Total Debt = $316,667
Now let determine the Debt ratio
Debt ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets
Debt ratio = $316,667 / 615,000
Debt ratio = 51.49%
Therefore the maximum debt to capital ratio (measured as debt/total common equity) the firm can use is 51.49%

Suppose that you were interested in building a luxury apartment complex in your hometown. In your analysis of local demographics, you discover that the target market makes up only 5% (core market share) of the households that currently rent (or would be interested in renting) in this town. If market experts believe that a total of 5,000 apartment units will be rented in your entire hometown within the next year, what is the projected number of units the developer could expect to lease in year 1 if he is able to capture 20% of the market potential
Answer:
The projected number of units the developer could expect to lease in year 1 if he is able to capture 20% of the market potential is:
= 1,000 apartment units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
The percentage of households that currently rent in the town = 5%
Demographic of households in the town = 100,000 (5,000/5%)
Number of apartment units established by market experts to be rented in the entire hometown within the next year = 5,000 (5% of 100,000)
20% of the market potential = 1,000 (5,000 * 20%)

But, Mary's concern shows that other factors might combine, causing her to require her money back after a year.
Canners Company uses weighted-average costing. Beginning work in process inventory had $3,650 of material costs. During the period, $5,000 of materials and $9,250 in conversion costs were added. If there are 250 equivalent units of production for materials, the cost per equivalent unit for materials is ______.
Answer:
the cost per equivalent unit for materials is $34.60
Explanation:
The computation of the cost per equivalent unit for materials is shown below:
= (Beginning work in inventory + material added) ÷ material equivalent unit of production
= ($3,650 + $5,000) ÷ 250 units
= $34.60
Hence, the cost per equivalent unit for materials is $34.60

Common stock
Preferred stock
Additional paid-in capital
Answer:
Common stock $20,000
Preferred stock $60,000
APIC $820,000
Explanation
Calculation to determine what Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report
Calculation to determine the COMMON STOCK
Common stock=20,000 shares*$1
Common stock=$20,000
Calculation to determine PREFERRED STOCK
Preferred stock =6,000 shares*$10
Preferred stock =$60,000
Calculation to determine ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL (APIC)
APIC=[(6000*$50)-(6000*$10)]+[(20,000*$30)+(20,000*$1)]
APIC=($300,000-$60,000)+($600,000-$20,000)
APIC=$240,000+$580,000
APIC=$820,000
Therefore Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report:
Common stock $20,000
Preferred stock $60,000
APIC $820,000
An increase in the fixed asset turnover ratio from 2.0 to 2.7 indicates a.an unfavorable change in the efficiency of using cash to generate sales. b.an unfavorable change in the efficiency of using fixed assets to pay down debt. c.a favorable change in the efficiency of using fixed assets to generate sales. d.an unfavorable change in the efficiency of using fixed assets to generate sales.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Fixed asset turnover is an example of an activity ratio
Activity ratios calculate the efficiency of performing daily task of a firm

Which of the following will increase the money supply? Question 17 options: an increase in the discount rate (relative to the federal funds rate) a decrease in the required reserve ratio an open market sale by the Fed a and c b and c
Answer:
a decrease in the required reserve ratio
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve utilises various strategies to control money supply to the economy. Money supply is the amount of money that is held by by the public in an economy.
The various methods used by the Federal Reserve to regulate money supply includes discount rate, reserve ratio, and open market operations.
Money supply will increase when the reserve ratio for commercial banks is decreased. This means less of their funds is required to be witheld from the public.
On the other hand an open market sale will mop up the cash in the economy, and an increase in discount rate (rate of lending to banks) will also cause a decrease in money supply.
