What is the effective annual interest rate of an investment that pays 14.75% per year with a compound frequency n= 2? (Answer percentage rounded to second decimal place).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

15.29%

Explanation:

r = Interest rate = 14.75%

m = Number of times compounding in a year = 2

Effective Annual Rate = (1 + r/m)^m - 1

Effective Annual Rate = (1 + 0.1475/2)^2 - 1

Effective Annual Rate = 1.07375^2 - 1

Effective Annual Rate = 1.1529390625 - 1

Effective Annual Rate = 0.1529391

Effective Annual Rate = 15.29%

So, the effective annual interest rate of the investment is 15.29%

The Aqua Liquid Assets Money Market Mutual Fund has a NAV of $1 per share. During the year, the assets held by this fund appreciated by 1.4 percent. If you had invested $50,000 in this fund at the start of the year, how many shares would you own at the end of the year

Answers

Answer:

Missing word "Final shares=? Net asset value=?"

Final shares is computed as follows:

= (Amount invested / NAV per share) * (1 + Fund appreciation)

= ($50,000 / $ 1) * (1 + 0.014)

= $50,000 * 1.014

= $50,700

As know that this is a Money Market Mutual Fund, hence the Net asset value of this fund at the end of the year will be also $1.

You are analyzing ABC Company, a computer manufacturer. You notice that inventory turnover this year is significantly lower than in prior years. You also notice that accounts receivable turnover is significantly lower this year when compared to previous years. Provide three explanations that would be consistent with your observation for inventory turnover and include an explanation of whether these would be of concern to you, as well as what the effect might be on the next period's financial results. In addition, provide three explanations that would be consistent with your observation of the accounts receivable turnover, and explain whether these would be of concern to you.

Answers

Answer:

ABC Company

1. Observation: Current year's inventory turnover is significantly lower than those of previous years.

Explanations:

1. Lower inventory turnover implies weaker sales for the current period than those of previous years.

2. Lower inventory turnover results from excessive inventory, which increases storage costs and interest expenses.

3. The ratio may also indicate that the demand for the product is declining rapidly.  Many reasons can be adduced for this situation.  Little marketing efforts, bad product, and lack of product competitiveness.

a) The formula for computing the inventory turnover equals Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory.  The ratio shows the number of times goods are sold in a period.  When goods are sold more frequently, sales activities increase, including revenue and profit.

2. Observation: Also current year's accounts receivable turnover is significantly lower than in previous years.

Explanations:

1. Billing inefficiency can contribute to lower accounts receivable turnover.

2. Poor credit policy may give rise to inefficient collection process, excessive bad debts, long credit days, bad customers, and lack of incentives to customers to settle their invoices.

3. Lastly, lower accounts receivable turnover may point to declining demand of the product by customers.

b) The formula for calculating the accounts receivable turnover is Net Credit Sales divided by Average receivables.  The ratio determines the effectiveness of the company's credit policy.

 

Schultz v. Capital International Security, Inc. 460 F.3d 595 (4th Cir. 2006) Facts: The plaintiff-agents provided security services for Schultz and his family at his Virginia residence in twelve-hour shifts. The agents were paid a daily rate for each shift; they received no extra pay for overtime. The agents had a command post at the residence, from which they observed security camera monitors, answered the telephone, and kept a daily log of all arrivals and departures. They also made hourly walks of the property, ensured that members of his family were safe when departing and arriving, sorted mail, and performed various tasks upon request of his family. In addition to their security duties, the agents were responsible for having the household’s vehicles washed and fueled, making wake-up calls, moving furniture, and doing research on the Internet. Schultz's long-time driver and travel agent, Sammy Hebri, formed a company called Capital International Security, Inc. (CIS). Hebri started CIS for the purpose of becoming Schultz's security contractor. Hebri sent a memo (dated July 24, 2002) to the agents directing them to obtain their own private security business licenses from the VDCJS and individual liability insurance so they could be classified as independent contractors. Issue: The issue is whether the bodyguards were considered to be employees or independent contractors for the purpose of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Action: You must respond to all questions below. You must use at least three sources from the class materials and do independent research. Do not combine the five discussion questions and please use the outline below for your paper.

Question 1c - Classification Test: In the above case, what kind of classification test could have been used and what would be the result?

Answers

Answer:

Hence the answer is given as follows,

Explanation:

1A) In the given case, the agents who are the plaintiffs were working as security guards for Schultz and his family. There was miscellaneous work that they were required to conduct for the family. The agents were paid a daily wage and weren't paid overtime. Schultz’s driver opened a replacement company called CIS and asked the agents to get their own private security business licenses in order that they will get classified as independent contractors. So, the difficulty arises that whether the agents should be classified as employees or as independent contractors.

The agents were paid a daily wage and not a salary. Moreover, they weren't qualified for overtime pay. Employees usually get salaries and are eligible to urge over time by the overtime work. Hence the agents are independent contractors and can't be considered employees.

1C) In the given case, a hybrid classification test is often wont to check the status of whether the agents were employees or independent contractors. A hybrid classification test has characteristics of right to regulate test also as economic realities test. Schultz and his family weren't controlling the work of the agents. The agents had pre-determined work and that was conducting it in an independent manner. The agents also were paid on a day to day and didn't have a timekeeping requirement. Hence the agents can qualify as independent contractors and not employees as per the hybrid classification test.

Blake Company purchased two identical inventory items. The item purchased first cost $34.00, and the item purchased second cost $35.00. Blake sold one of the items for $64.00. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The dollar amount assigned to ending inventory will be the same no matter which cost flow method is used.
B. Gross margin will be higher if Blake uses LIFO than it would be if FIFO were used.
C. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used.
D. Cost of goods sold will be higher if Blake uses FIFO than if weighted average were used.

Answers

Answer:

c

Explanation:

LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold

Weighted average is the average cost of the inventories bought over a period

If FIFO is used, ending inventory would be $35.

If weighted average is used , ending inventory = (34 +35) / 2 = $34.50

Thus, ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used

Gross margin = gross profit / revenue

If FIFO was used . gross margin = (64 - 34) / 64 = 0.469

If LIFO was used . gross margin = (64 - 35) / 64 = 0.453

Gross margin will be lower if Blake uses LIFO than it would be if FIFO were used.

Suppose that the inflation rate is 2% and the real terminal value of an investment is expected to be $82,500 in 4 years. Calculate the nominal terminal value of the investment at the end of year 4.

Answers

Answer: $89300.65

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the nominal terminal value of the investment at the end of year 4 will be calculated thus:

Inflation rate = 2%

Real terminal value of investment = $82,500

Normal terminal value of investment will be:

= $82500 × (1+2%)⁴

= $82500 × (1 +0.02)⁴

= $82500 × 1.02⁴

= $89300.65

Answers

Answer:

ARC Inc.

1. Interest expense for the January 1–June 30 period was $__5,798___.

2. Interest expense for the July 1–December 31 period was $__5,850___.

3. Book value of Bonds on June 30 was $__89,998___.

4. Book value of Bonds on December 31 was $__90,848___.

5. Interest payment on June 30 was $__5,000___.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

January 1, 2017:

Face value of issued bonds = $100,000 ($1,000 * 100)

Coupon rate of interest = 10%

Effective rate of interest = 13%

Price of issued bonds =        $89,200 ($892 * 100)

Discount on bonds =             $10,800 ($100,000 - $89,200)

Interest payment = June 30 and December 31 (semiannually)

June 30:

Interest expense = $5,798 ($89,200 * 6.5%)

Cash payment =     $5,000 ($100,000 * 5%)

Amortization of discount = $798

Value of bonds = $89,998 ($89,200 + $798)

December 31, 2017:

Interest expense = $5,850 ($89,998 * 6.5%)

Cash payment =     $5,000 ($100,000 * 5%)

Amortization of discount = $850

Value of bonds = $90,848 ($89,998 + $850)

The Gear Division makes a part with the following characteristics:
Production capacity 25,000 units
Selling price to outside customers $ 18
Variable cost per unit $ 11
Fixed cost, total $ 100,000
Motor Division of the same company would like to purchase 10,000 units each period from the Gear Division. The Motor Division now purchases the part from an outside supplier at a price of $17 each. Suppose that the Gear Division is operating at capacity and can sell all of its output to outside customers. If the Gear Division sells the parts to Motor Division at $17 per unit, the company as a whole will be:
a. better off by $10,000 each period.
b. worse off by $20,000 each period.
c. worse off by $10,000 each period.
d. There will be no change in the status of the company as a whole.

Answers

Answer:

Effect on income= -10,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production capacity 25,000 units

Selling price to outside customers $ 18

Variable cost per unit $ 11

Fixed cost, total $ 100,000

First, we need to calculate the unitary total production cost:

Total unitary cost= (100,000/25,000) + 11

Total unitary cost= $15

The company can sell all of its production to outside customers and gain $3 from the sale. But, by selling to the Motor Division, it gains $2.

Now, the effect on income:

Effect on income= increase in income by not buying the part - decrease in sales revenue for not selling to outside customers

Effect on income= 10,000*2 - 10,000*3

Effect on income= 20,000 - 30,000

Effect on income= -10,000

Travel expenses incurred by the sales department of a manufacturing company would be classified as: a. indirect labor b. manufacturing overhead c. a period cost d. a conversion cost e. a product cost

Answers

Answer:

c. a period cost

Explanation:

Option C, period cos is the correct answer because the period cost is not related to the production and manufacturing of the commodity. Rather it is the cost incurred outside the factory such as marketing expenses, travelling expenses, etc. Therefore, the option "period cost" is the correct answer.  

Travel expenses incurred by the sales department of a manufacturing company would be classified as: c. a period cost

Period costs are indirect costs incurred in the production of goods and services. These costs are not tied directly to production processes.

Unlike product costs that are assigned to one particular product, Period costs are not assigned to one particular product or the cost of inventory.

Period costs are also not included in the inventory valuation hence are treated as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

Other examples of Period costs includes: marketing expenses, indirect labor etc.

Moonbeam Company manufactures toasters. For the first 8-months of 2017, the company reported the following operating results while operating at 75% of plant capacity:

Sales (350,000 units) $4,375,000
Cost of goods sold 2,600,000
Gross profit 1,775,000
Operating expenses 840,000
Net income $935,000

Cost of goods sold was 70% variable and 30% fixed; operating expenses were 80% variable and 20% fixed. In September, Moonbeam receives a special order for 21,600 toasters at $8.12 each from Luna Company of Ciudad Juarez. Acceptance of the order would result in an additional $3,100 of shipping costs but no increase in fixed costs.

Required:
a. Prepare an incremental analysis for the special order.
b. Should Moonbeam accept the special order? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

Moonbeam Company

a. Incremental Analysis:

Sales revenue:

Units of toasters (21,600 at $8.12)   $175,392

Variable costs (21,600 * $7.12)           153,792

Shipping costs                                         3,100

Total incremental costs                   $156,892

Incremental net income                    $18,500

b. Moonbeam should accept the special order.  It has the required capacity to deliver the additional toasters.  It will generate an incremental income of $18,500, which is better than nothing.  

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Sales (350,000 units) $4,375,000

Cost of goods sold       2,600,000

Gross profit                     1,775,000

Operating expenses        840,000

Net income                    $935,000

Operating capacity = 75%

Current sales = 350,000

Plant capacity = 466,667 units (350,000/75%)

                                                  Total           Per Unit

Sales (350,000 units)           $4,375,000    $12.50

Variable cost of goods sold = 1,820,000 ($2,600,000 * 70%)

Variable operating expense =  672,000 ($840,000 * 80%)

Total variable costs =           $2,492,000    $7.12

Net income =                         $1,883,000

Special Order:

Incremental Sales revenue

Units of toasters (21,600 at $8.12)   $175,392

Variable costs (21,600 * $7.12)           153,792

Shipping costs                                         3,100

From 1990 to 2000, calculate the percentage change in Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. a. Real GDP. % b. Real consumption. % c. Real government spending

Answers

Answer:

Note The full question is attached as picture below

1. Real consumption % change = ((Consumption in 2009 / Consumption in 2007) - 1) * 100

Real consumption % change = ((9847 / 10042) - 1) * 100

Real consumption change % = (0.981 - 1) * 100

Real consumption change% = -1.9%

2. Real investment % = ((Investment in 2009 / 2007) - 1) * 100

Real investment % = ((1898 / 2644) - 1) * 100

Real investment % = (0.718 - 1) * 100

Real investment % = -28.2%

3. Government spending % = ((Government spending 2009 / 2007) - 1)*100

Government spending % = ((3089 / 2914) - 1)*100

Government spending % = (1.06 - 1) * 100

Government spending % = 6%

For each of the following scenarios, identify the number of firms present, the type of product, and the appropriate market model.

a. A large city has lots of small shops where people can buy sweaters. Each store's sweaters reflect the style of that particular store. Additionally, some stores use higher-quality yarn than others, which is reflected in their price.
b. There are hundreds of high school students in need of algebra tutoring services. Dozens of companies offer tutoring services; parents view the quality of the tutoring at the different companies to be largely the same.
c. Only three airlines fly from San Francisco to Medford, Oregon. No new airline will enter this market, because there are not enough customers to share among four or more airlines without each one experiencing substantially higher average costs. Consumers view all airlines as providing basically the same service and will shop around for the lowest price.

b. large number of firms, they have standardized products, and this is a perfectly competitive market model

c. few number of firms, they have standardized products, and this is an oligopolistic market model

d. one number of firms, they have a single products, and this is a monopoly

Explanation:

a. This first question is a monopolistic competition. this is because it has the following characteristics:

It has large number of firms, the products here are differentiated, there is no entry cost and also no exit cost in the long run. Entereing the market is challenging

b. this is a perfect competition, the characteristics are large number of firms, the products are identical and the entry and exit in the market is easy

c. this market is an oligopoly. it has a few firms, the products can be identical or they can be differntiated, and it has barriers to entry from what we have seen here.

d. this market is a monopoly. the firm is a single one, and due to the patent there are no new entries for any other firm.

You are selling an asset. you can earn an interest rate of 7% per yer on your savings. You receive the following two (risk less) offers:

Offer 1: receive $400,000 today
Offer 2: Receive $500,000 in 4 years

a. Which offer should you choose?
b. At what interest rate would you be indifferent between the two offers?

Answers

Answer:

Option 1

5.737126344%

Explanation:

to determine which option i would prefer today, i would need to determine the present value of offer 2

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

[tex]\frac{500,000}{1.07^{4} }[/tex] = $381,447.61

I would prefer the first option because its present value is greater than that of option 2

The interest rate that would make me indifferent between either options would be the interest at which the present value of $500,000 in 4 years is $400,000

$400,000 = [tex]\frac{500,000}{(1 + x)^{4} }[/tex]

$400,000[tex](1 + x)^{4}[/tex] = $500,000

500,000 / 400,000= (1 + x)^{4}

1.25 = (1 + x)^{4}

[tex]1.25^{0.25}[/tex] = 1 + x

x = 5.737126344%

Swifty Corporation purchased a truck at the beginning of 2020 for $109600. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $4100 and a useful life of 123000 miles. It was driven 18000 miles in 2020 and 26000 miles in 2021. What is the depreciation expense for 2020?
a. $37752
b. $22308
c. $16639
d. $15444

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $15,444

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $109,600

Salvage value= $4,100

Useful life= 123,000

Miles driven 2020= 18,000

To calculate the depreciation expense, we will use the units-of-production method:

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in miles]*miles drive

Annual depreciation= [(109,600 - 4,100)/123,000]*18,000

Annual depreciation= 0.858*18,000

Annual depreciation= $15,444
