There are many benefits as well as risks to social networks. The greatest benefit is that they allow us to connect with individuals from anywhere in the world, at any distance, and in a seconds notice. This is incredibly powerful and opens the door for many opportunities in all types of markets. Social networks also come with risks, since everyone is on it people tend to share all of their information which can cause problems for that individual if it falls into the wrong hands. For example, an individual connects with a family member who lives in Brasil and has casual conversations with that family member every other day. A hacker may be able to access that information and extract all the valuable information needed to steal that individual's identity.
Calculate the monthly implicit costs for a business owner who devotes 200 hours per month to his business that could be spent working at $50/hour for someone else.
Answer:
Implicit cost = $10,000
Explanation:
Implicit cost is the opportunity cost of using resources a business already owns.
This business owner passes this income by being in a business for himself
200 hours per month multiplied by $50/hour
200 x 50
= 10000
Implicit cost = $10,000
A divisional manager receives a bonus based on 10% of the residual income from the division. During the current year, the division reported revenues of $1,000,000 and expenses of $500,000. The division had $2,000,000 in average operating assets. The minimum required rate of return for the division was 15%. What was the amount of the manager's bonus
Answer:
The amount of the manager's bonus is $20,000
Explanation:
Residual income = Net income - ( average operating assets * minimum rate of return)
Net income= Revenues - Expenses = $1,000,000 - $500,000
Net income = $500,000
Residual income = 500,000 - (2,000,000 * 15%)
= 500,000 - $300,000
= $200,000
Managers bonus = $200,000 * 10%
Managers bonus = $20,000

Harry Company sells 20,000 units at $42 per unit. Variable costs are $26.88 per unit, and fixed costs are $105,800. Determine (a) the contribution margin ratio, (b) the unit contribution margin, and (c) income from operations.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Harry Company sells 20,000 units at $42 per unit. Variable costs are $26.88 per unit, and fixed costs are $105,800.
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin / selling price
contribution margin ratio= (42 - 26.88) / 42
contribution margin ratio= 0.36
Now, the contribution margin:
Contribution margin= 42 - 26.88= $15.12
Finally, income from operations:
Contribution margin= 20,000*15.12= 302,400
Fixed costs= (105,800)
Net operating income= 196,600
Quilcene Oysteria farms and sells oysters in the Pacific Northwest. The company harvested and sold 7,100 pounds of oysters in August. The company’s flexible budget for August appears below: Quilcene Oysteria Flexible Budget For the Month Ended August 31 Actual pounds (q) 7,100 Revenue ($4.10q) $ 29,110 Expenses: Packing supplies ($0.25q) 1,775 Oyster bed maintenance ($3,500) 3,500 Wages and salaries ($2,600 + $0.45q) 5,795 Shipping ($0.55q) 3,905 Utilities ($1,270) 1,270 Other ($450 + $0.01q) 521 Total expense 16,766 Net operating income $ 12,344 The actual results for August appear below: Quilcene Oysteria Income Statement For the Month Ended August 31 Actual pounds 7,100 Revenue $ 27,500 Expenses: Packing supplies 1,945 Oyster bed maintenance 3,360 Wages and salaries 6,205 Shipping 3,635 Utilities 1,080 Other 1,141 Total expense 17,366 Net operating income $ 10,134 Required: Calculate the company’s revenue and spending variances for August. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)
Answer:
revenue variance = (standard quantity x standard price) - (actual quantity x actual price) = (7,100 x $4.10) - (7,100 x $3.8732) = $29,110 - $27,500 = $1,610 unfavorable (actual revenue was lower than budgeted revenue due to a decrease in sales price).
spending variances:
oyster bed maintenance variance = $3,360 - $3,500 = -$140 favorable
packing supplies variance = $1,945 - $1,775 = $170 unfavorable
wages and salaries variance = $6,205 - $5,795 = $410 unfavorable
shipping costs variance = $3,635 - $3,905 = -$270 favorable
utilities cost variance = $1,080 - $1,270 = -$190 favorable
other expenses variance = $1,141 - $521 = $620 unfavorable
total spending variance = $17,366 - $16,766 = $600 unfavorable (actual expenses were higher than budgeted)

Suppose selected comparative statement data for the giant bookseller Barnes & Noble are presented here. All balance sheet data are as of the end of the fiscal year (in millions).
2020 2019
Net sales $5,200 $5,500
Cost of goods sold 3,484 3,830
Net income 78 123
Accounts receivable 82 103
Inventory 1,146 1,262
Total assets 2,990 3,510
Total common stockholders’ equity 992 1,031
Required:
Compute the following ratios for 2020.
Answer:
Profit margin = net profit / total sales = $78 / $5,200 = 1.5%
Asset turnover = total sales / average total assets = $5,200 / ($2,990 + $3,510) = 1.6
Return on assets = net income / average total assets = $78 / $3,250 = 2.4%
Return on common stockholders’ equity = net income / average stockholders' equity = $78 / ($992 + $1,031) = 7.71%
Gross profit rate = gross profit / total sales = $1,716 / $5,200 = 33%

A customer buys a new issue municipal bond with a dated date of January 1st, settling on February 1st. The first interest payment is due March 1st. How many days of accrued interest must the customer pay to the underwriter
Answer: 30 days
Explanation:
The accrued interest is to be paid for the period beginning from the date of issue till the date of settlement. However, the date of settlement is not included which means interest will not be paid for the 1st of February.
That leave the 31 days of January for payment. With Municipal Bonds however, accrued interest is calculated assuming only 30 days in a month so January will have 30 days in terms of accrued interest.
30 days is the number of days that accrued interest must be paid to the underwriter.

Answer:
1 ABC Jan 100 Call
Explanation:
Although the OCC does not usually adjust the strike price of listed options for regular quarterly cash dividends. This is because they are known quantity that are segmented by the market into options premium.
For special cash dividends, they are not a frequent event hence market does not recognize them. This special cash dividend is $10 per share × 100 shares = $1,000 value per contract. It therefore means that the $1,000 value per contract will be adjusted.

= 100. It also means that the number of shares covered by the contract does not change.
Bond X is a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond pays a coupon rate of 9 percent, has a YTM of 7 percent, and has 15 years to maturity. Bond Y is a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond pays a coupon rate of 7 percent, has a YTM of 9 percent, and also has 15 years to maturity. The bonds have a $1,000 par value. What is the price of each bond today
Answer:
Bond Price today
Bond X = $1183.920454 rounded off to $1183.92
Bond Y = $837.1111146 rounded off to $837.11
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
For Bond X
Coupon Payment (C) = 0.09 * 1/2 * 1000 = $45
Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30
r or YTM = 7% * 1/2 = 3.5% or 0.035
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 45 * [( 1 - (1+0.035)^-30) / 0.035] + 1000 / (1+0.035)^30
Bond Price = $1183.920454 rounded off to $1183.92
For Bond Y
Coupon Payment (C) = 0.07 * 1/2 * 1000 = $35
Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30
r or YTM = 9% * 1/2 = 4.5% or 0.045
Bond Price = 35 * [( 1 - (1+0.045)^-30) / 0.045] + 1000 / (1+0.045)^30
Bond Price = $837.1111146 rounded off to $837.11
A developer is proposing to build and operate an 8 store strip mall. Each unit would rent for $3,500 per month. It is expected that vacancy would run at 15% and that the expenses would be 17.5%. The loan is to be 75% of the capitalized value. The developer has an MARR of 12.5%, the bank is charging 8.5% interest, and the Long Term Debt Service is a constant 9%. To assess the financial worth of this endeavor, determine the following:
a. CAP Rate
b. Capitalized value
c. Loan amount
d. Debt Service Coverage Ratio
e. Loan per unit
Answer:
Requirement A: CAP Rate is 12.5%
Requirement B: Capitalized Value of the Property is $1,884,960
Requirement C: Loan Amount is $1,413,720
Requirement D: Debt Service Coverage Ratio is 1.85
Requirement E: Loan per unit is $176,715 Per Unit
Explanation:
Requirement A: Find the CAP Rate
The CAP Rate will be calculated using the following formula:
CAP Rate = Annual Net Operating Income (NOI) (Step1) / Property Capitalized Value (Step2)
Here
Operating Income is $235,620 (Step1)
Property Capitalized Value (Step2)
Now, by putting values we have:
CAP Rate = $235,620 / $1,884,960 = 12.5%
Step1: Find Annual Net Operating Income (NOI)
As we know that:
Operating Income = Expected Revenue - Operating Expense
Here
Expected Revenue from 8 Strip Malls = Rent / Month * 12 Months * (1 - Vacancy Ratio) * 8 Strips Malls
= $3,500 * 12 * (1 - 15%) * 8
= $285,600
Operating Expenses = Expected Revenue * 17.5%
= $285,600 * 17.5% = $49,980
Now by putting value in the above Operating Income equation, we have:
Annual Operating Income = $285,600 - $49,980 = $235,620
Step2: Find Property Capitalized Value (It is also Requirement B)
Property Capitalized Value = Annual Operating Income / Minimum Accepted Rate of Return (MARR)
Here
Annual Operating Income is $235,620 from Step1
MARR is 12.5%
By putting values, we have:
Capitalized Value of the Property = $235,620 / 12.5% = $1,884,960
Requirement C. Find Loan Amount
It is given in the question that the Loan Amount is 75% of Property Capitalized Cost. This implies:
Loan Amount = $1,884,960 * 75% = $1,413,720
Requirement D. Debt Service Coverage Ratio
Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) = Annual Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service for the Year
Here
Annual Net Operating Income is $235,620 from Step1
Total Debt Service for the Year $127,235 (See Step3 below)
By putting values, we have:
Debt Service Coverage Ratio = $235,620 / $127,235 = 1.85
Step3: Total Debt Service for the year
Total Debt Service for the year = Loan Amount * Debt Service Rate
Here
Loan Amount is $1,413,720
Debt Service Rate is 9%
By putting values, we have:
Total Debt Service for the year = $1,413,720 * 9% = $127,235
Requirement E. Find Loan Amount
We can find loan per unit by simply dividing the loan amount by number of strip mall. Here total number of strip mall are 8. This implies that:
Loan Per Unit = $1,413,720 / 8 Units = $176,715 Per Unit

Other variable costs (paid in cash) amount to $25 per month for each individualmembership and $45 per month for each family membership. Hercules also incurs$41,000 (which includes $12,500 in depreciation) toward fixed costs each month. Finally,Tom and Lynda inform you that they have to pay $20,000 toward the purchase of newequipment in September, and that they take out $15,000 each month as their profit. Finally,Hercules began September with a cash balance of $6,000.Required:What is Hercules’ cash budget for September?
Answer:
Net Cash $2,170
Explanation:
Cash Budget for September:
Beginning Balance $6,000
Individual membership fee revenue $1,350
Family membership fee revenue $720
Less:Variable Cost Individual ($25 * 15) $375
Less:Variable Cost Family ($25 * 5) $125
Less:Purchase of Machine $20,000
Less:Fixed cost $41,000
Net Cash $2,170
Individual membership fee revenue
$100 * 90% * 180 = 16,200 per year
16,200 / 12 = 1,350 per month.
Memberships per month = 180/12 = 15
Family membership fee revenue
$160 * 90% * 60 = 8,640 per year
8,640 / 12 = 720 per month.
Memberships per month = 60/12 = 5
