The net asset value of shares in a closed-end investment company is $36. An investor buys the shares for $34 in the secondary market. The company distributes $1 and after one year, the net asset rises to $42. The investor sells the shares for $43 in the secondary market. What is the percentage return on the investment
Answer:
Closed-End Investment Company
The percentage return on the investment is:
= = 29.41%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net asset value of share = $36
Price paid by an investor = $34
Dividend distributed = $1
Net asset value after one year = $42
Selling price in the secondary market by the investor = $43
Total amount realized by the investor = $44 ($43 + $1)
Cost of investment = $34
Dollar return on the investment = $10 ($44 - $34)
Percentage return on the investment = Return on investment/Cost of investment * 100
= $10/$34 * 100
= 29.41%
The manager of Quick Car Inspection reviewed the monthly operating costs for the past year. The costs ranged from $4,400 for 1,400 inspections to $4,200 for 1,000 inspections. Please use the high-low method to calculate the variable cost per inspection.
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.5 per inspection
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The costs ranged from $4,400 for 1,400 inspections to $4,200 for 1,000 inspections.
To calculate the variable cost under 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= (4,400 - 4,200) / (1,400 - 1,000)
Variable cost per unit= $0.5 per inspection

gThe following data are available for Martin Solutions, Inc. Year 2 Year 1 Sales $1,139,600 $1,192,320 Beginning inventory 80,000 64,000 Cost of goods sold 500,800 606,000 Ending inventory 72,000 80,000 Required: Assume a 365-day year. Determine for each year:
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
For Year 1
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory)÷ 2
= ($64,000 + $80,000) ÷ 2
= $72,000
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory
= $606,000 ÷ 72,000
= 8.4 times
Days in inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 8.4
= 43.5 days
For Year 2
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) ÷ 2
= ($80,000 + $72,000) ÷ 2
= $76,000
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory
= $500,800 ÷ 76,000
= 6.6 times
Days in inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 6.6
= 55.3 days
Which theory would most likely explain why a commercial bank, which usually focuses on short-term securities, would switch to long-term securities due to a change in interest rates. pure expectation liquidity premium segmented market preferred habitat
Answer:
preferred habitat
Explanation:
According to the preferred habitat theory, if the expected returns from investment of a particular investment maturity is large enough, investors would shift from their preferred maturities.
In this question, there is a shift from the preferred maturity (short-term securities) to a long-term securities when interest rate changes
The pure expectations theory assumes that bonds of any maturity are perfect substitutes for each other. For example, if an investor buys a 10 year bond and holds it for 1 year, the return is the same as buying a 1 year bond. The theory also assumes that risk premium does not exist and a security only earns its risk free rate
Liquidity premium theory states that risk premium increases with the maturity of a bond. The theory predicts that the yield curve is upward sloping due to liquidity premium
According to the segmented market theory, each bond maturity segment can be thought of as a segment market in which yield are a function of the demand and supply for funds in that maturity.

Consuela is a business analyst for her company. She is working from home and on a video conference with several other team members. Her video conferencing client displays a message indicating that the quality of her connection is unstable. What is the most likely problem
Answer: c) Latency between her VPN client removing encryption and making it available to the video-conferencing client is causing poor performance.
Explanation:
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used to protect the identity of people online as it encrypts a person's data and uses different servers to allow them browse the web and with a different IP address from the user's original IP address that way it appears as though the user is somewhere else in the world than they actually are.
In doing this however, VPNs might give slow speeds due to the latency that develops as the VPN encrypts and decrypts data for use. In this case, the VPN latency in decrypting the video call for Consuela to see it is slowing down the speed of the Video conferencing client.
An outside supplier offers to provide Epsilon with all the units it needs at $63.05 per unit. If Epsilon buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 35% of its overhead. Epsilon should choose to:
Answer:
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $59.05
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Epsilon should choose to:
Relevant costs to make = 8.20 + 24.20 + [41*(100%-35%)]
Relevant costs to make = 8.20 + 24.20 + (41*65%)
Relevant costs to make = 8.20 + 24.20 + 26.65
Relevant costs to make =$59.05
Therefore Epsilon should choose to: MAKE SINCE THE RELEVANT COST TO MAKE IT IS $59.05
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine producers a tax. Before the tax, 40 billion bottles of wine were sold every year at a price of $7 per bottle. After the tax, 35 billion bottles of wine are sold every year; consumers pay $9 per bottle, and producers receive $6 per bottle (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine isper bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers isper bottle, and the burden that falls on producers isper bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The amount of the tax for the wine bottle is
= $9 per bottle - $6 per bottle
= $3 per bottle
Before the tax, the price per bottle is $7 per bottle
The Tax burden on consumers is
= $9 - $7
= $2 per bottle
And, the tax burden on producers is
= $7 per bottle - $6 per bottle
= $1 per bottle
So, the given statement is false as the impact would remain the same whether it is for producer or consumer

Consider the following stock price and shares outstanding data: Stock Name Price per Share Shares Outstanding (Billion) Lowes $28.80 1.53 Wal-Mart $47.90 4.17 Intel $19.60 5.77 Boeing $75.00 0.79 If you are interested in creatinga value-weighted portfolio of these four stocks, then the percentage amount that you would invest in Lowes is closest to: A) 25% B) 11% C) 20.0% D) 12% E) 8%
Answer:
B) 11%
Explanation:
We need to determine the total amount to invest in all the stocks in the first place as computed below:
Lowes= $28.80*1.53=$44.06
Wal-Mart=$47.90*4.17=$199.74
Intel=$19.60*5.77 =$113.09
Boeing=$75.00*0.79=$59.25
Total amount invested in the portfolio=$44.06+$199.74+$113.09+$59.25
Total amount invested in the portfolio=$416.14
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=amount invested in Lowes/total portfolio amount
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=$44.06/$416.14
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=11%
What is the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $50,000 using the manufacturing cost markup method
Answer:
$15 per unit
Explanation:
Note "The full question is attached as picture below"
Markup = (Fixed Costs + Desired Profit) / Units produced
Markup = ($300,000 + $150,000 + $50,000) / 50,000
Markup = $500,000 / 50,000 units
Markup = $10 per unit
Variable cost per unit = Variable cost / Quantity
Variable cost per unit = ($200,000 + $50,000) / 50,000
Variable cost per unit = $5 per unit
Sales price = Variable cost + Markup
Sales price = $5 per unit + $10 per unit
Sales price = $15 per unit
So, the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $50,000 using the manufacturing cost markup method is $15 per unit.

An investment opportunity requires a payment of $910 for 12 years, starting a year from today. If your required rate of return is 6.5 percent, what is the value of the investment to you today
Answer:
PV= $7,424.44
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual payment (A)= $910
Number of periods (n)= 12 years
Rate of return (i)= 6.5%
To calculate the value of the investment today (PV), we need to use the following formula:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
PV= 910*{(1/0.065) - 1/ [0.065*(1.065^12)]}
PV= $7,424.44

A Referent power in an organization my be defined as the power of a person or a company that is based on high level of identification with that of admiration or inspiration or out of respect.
Thus in the context, the Acme company does not uses its referent power to its distribution channel when the company decides to limit the supply of the its compressors to some of its distributors as the distributors are selling some of the air compressors of the competitor company.
Hence the answer is FALSE.
Scenario 34-1. Take the following information as given for a small, imaginary economy: When income is $10,000, consumption spending is $6,500. When income is $11,000, consumption spending is $7,250. Refer to Scenario 34-1. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is
Answer:
0.75
Explanation:
Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is the change in consumption due to change in income
Change in consumption = $7,250 - $6,500 = $750
Change in income = $11,000 - $10,000 = $1,000
MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income
MPC = 750 / 100
MPC = 0.75

Dave's Duds reported cost of goods sold of $1,600,000 this year. The inventory account increased by $130,000 during the year to an ending balance of $465,000. What was the cost of merchandise that Dave's purchased during the year?
Answer:
$1,730,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cost of merchandise that Dave's purchased during the year
COGS $1,600,000
Add: Increase in inventories $130,000
Purchases $1,730,000
($1,600,000+$130,000)
Therefore the cost of merchandise that Dave's purchased during the year is $1,730,000
A consumer has $180 in monthly income to spend on two goods, D and G, where D is on the y-axis. The price of good D, PD is $6, and the marginal rate of transformation is -2. How many units of good G can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G
Answer:
The number of units of good G that can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G is 15 units.
Explanation:
Since D is on the y-axis, indicating G is on the x-axis, the formula for calculating the marginal rate of transformation (MRT) is given as follows:
MRT = - PG / PD …………………. (1)
Where:
MRT = Marginal rate of transformation = -2
PG = Price of good G = ?
PD = Price of good D = $6
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for PG, we have:
-2 = - PG / $6
PG = -2 * (-6) = $12
Therefore, we have:
Number units of good G if all income is spent on it = Monthly income / PG = $180 / $12 = 15
Therefore, the number of units of good G that can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G is 15 units.

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]
A certain machine will have a cost of $25,000 (then $) six years from now. Find the PW of the machine if the real interest rate is 10% per year and the inflation rate is 5% per year using (a) constant-value dollars, and (b) then-current dollars.
Answer:
The Present Worth of the machine if the real interest rate is 10% per year and the inflation rate is 5% per year, using:
(a) constant-value dollars
= $10,518.60
(b) then-current dollars
= $10,818.65
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost a certain machine six years from now = $25,000
Time period = 6 years
Real interest rate = 10%
Inflation rate = 5%
Nominal interest rate = 5% (10% - 5%)
Discount factor at 10% for 6 years = 0.564
Discount factor at 5% for 6 years = 0.746
PW using:
a) Constant-value dollars = $18,650 ($25,000 * 0.746)
PW = $10,518.60 ($18,650 * 0.564)
b) Then-current dollars:
The nominal rate = 0.1 + 0.05 + (0.1 * 0.05) = 0.155
$10,818.65 ($25,000 * 0.432746)
