"When The Bank of Bank County borrows funds from the Federal Reserve; the rate the Fed charges the commercial bank is called the _____ rate."

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Bank Rate/ Discount Rate

Explanation:

The Bank Rate is the interest rate that the Fed as the country's Central Bank charges commercial banks when they borrow money from it. The loans given are usually short term in nature.

The Bank Rate is a very useful tool in Monetary Policy by the Central Bank. If the Fed for instance would like to increase Economic activity by injecting cash into the economy, they can lower the bank rate and thus encourage more banks to loan money from them which will then be loaned to the public. If the Fed wanted to decrease Economic activity, the reverse would hold true.

The managerial purpose of setting objectives include: Select one: a. Converting the strategic vision into specific performance targets b. Establishing deadlines for achieving performance results c. Challenging the organization to perform at full potential and deliver the best results d. All of these

Answers

Answer: d. All of these

Explanation:

Objectives are very important in ensuring that a company achieves that which it wants to achieve. With an objective in mind, the company is able to set deadlines that it can work towards to enable it achieve performance results. Without objectives, there would be no aim in sight to work towards which means that performance cannot truly be measured.

Objectives also help turn a company's strategic vision into actual performable targets which will enable the company achieve its long term goals by breaking the activities into doable segments.

Finally with an objective in mind, employees will be spurred towards it which will enable them to try to perform at full potential and deliver the best results so that they may reach the objectives set.

3. “The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are two institutions that have outlived their usefulness”. Do you agree?

Answers

Answer:

“The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank"

Have they outlived their usefulness?

No.

The IMF and the World Bank have not outlived their usefulness.  They remain very useful and relevant to our world today.  The problem they have experienced stem in part from the neglect of their purposes, because of the near-absence of the grassroot touch.  They can refocus on their purposes and reduce elitistism, and then they continue to be useful.

But, they cannot rediscover and concentrate on their purposes without the cooperation of member-countries.  Recalcitrancy does not allow any organized institutions without police power to function at their best.  Member-countries must learn to cooperate with these bodies to achieve their purposes.  There is still global poverty ravaging the world population, even among the rich and developed countries of the world.

In most developing countries, their national governments are traditionally entrenched as anti-developmental.  While they make long and meaningless speeches at world fora, back home they do not walk their talk and so often renege on their promises.  This is why it seems that the impact of these world bodies are not being felt.  National governments must be able to show responsibility to allow the effects of monetary policies and agreements to benefit the poor and the vulnerable.

Explanation:

The World Bank is an international body of the United Nations with about 189 member-countries.  It works with developing countries to reduce poverty, increase access to wealth, and promote global prosperity.  The IMF is responsible for ensuring that the international monetary system is operational and stable to ginger sustainable global economic growth.

What is the expected annual capital gain yield for Orange Corp stock, based on the Constant Dividend Growth Model

Answers

Complete Question:

What is the expected annual capital gain yield for Orange Corp stock, based on the Constant Dividend Growth Model? The company plans to pay an annual dividend of of $4.12 per share in one year. The expected annual growth rate of the dividend is 12.9%, and the required rate of return for the stock is 16.63%. Answer as a percentage, 2 decimal places (e.g., 12.34% as 12.34).

Answer:

12.9%

Explanation:

As we know that:

Capital Gain Yield  = (P1 - P0) / P0

Step 1: Find P0

Po = D1  / (Ke - g)

Here

D1 is $4.12 per share

Ke is 16.63%

g is 12.9%

By putting values, we have:

Po = $4.12 / (16.63% - 12.9%)

= $110.46

Step 2: Find P1

P1 = D2  / (Ke - g)

Here

D2 = D1 * (1 + 12.9%) = $4.12 per share  * (1 + 12.9%) = $4.65

Ke is 16.63%

g is 12.9%

By putting values, we have:

Po = $4.65 / (16.63% - 12.9%)

= $124.70

Step3: Find Annual Capital Gain Yield

Capital Gain Yield  = (P1 - P0) / P0

Now by putting values, we have:

Capital Gain Yield  = ($124.7 - $110.46) / $110.46

= 12.9%

why must we always boil our drinking water during and after a cyclone has passed ​

Answers

Answer:

Sometimes following a disaster, a boil water alert is issued for areas connected to mains scheme water because the mains water may be unsafe to drink or cook with.

If a boil water alert has been issued, it is essential you follow this warning to prevent illness.

To prepare water for drinking and food preparation, you should heat the water to a rolling boil for at least 1 minute using a stove or kettle and then allow it to cool. This will help to kill any bacteria.

Be sure to keep children clear from any boiling water until the water has cooled down to room temperature.

Once it has cooled it should be placed in the fridge in a clean container with a lid.

Under no circumstances should you drink or cook with water that has not been boiled until the alert is lifted.

Alternatively you can use bottled water.

Answers

Answer:

Amount paid for goodwill is $24,900

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged and they first sorted before answering the question as follows:

                                                          Book Value            Fair Value

Current assets                                     $ 28,700               $ 22,300

Property, plant, and equipment             47,800                 52,600

Other assets                                             3,500                    5,800

Current liabilities                                      15,100                  14,900

Long-term liabilities                                 29,000                21,400

The explanation of the answer to the question are now provided as follows:

Generally, goodwill refers to an intangible asset of a company and it can be in different for such as intellectual property, brand, commercial secrets, and reputation.

Amount paid for goodwill of an acquired company can be estimated by deducting the fair value of  net identifiable assets acquired from the consideration paid.

For this question, fair value of net identifiable assets can be calculated as follows:

Particular                                                  Fair Value ($)  

Current assets                                               22,300

Property, plant, and equipment                   52,600

Other assets                                                    5,800

Current liabilities                                          (14,900)

Long-term liabilities                                      (21,400)  

Fair value of net asset                                44,400    

Therefore, we have:

Amount paid for goodwill = Cash consideration paid - Fair value of net asset =  $69,300 - $44,400 = $24,900

Beck Kubiak wishes to purchase new appliances for her home. The total cost for the appliances is $2,900. To finance the purchase, Becky must pay 20% down, with the balance being financed with a 24-month installment loan with an APR of 8.5%. Determine Becky's total finance charge and her monthly payment

Answers

Answer:

total finance charge = $203.08

her monthly payment = $105.13

Explanation:

The Loan amount = Cost of Appliance - Down Payment

                              = $2,900 - ($2,900 × 20%)

                              = $2,320

Change the APR to nominal compounding,

Using a Financial Calculator, this will be :

8.50 % Shift EFF%

12 Shift P/YR

Shift NOM % = 8.19%

Then calculate the monthly payment as follows :

Pv = $2,320

n = 24

p/yr = 12

r = 8.19%

Fv = $0

PMT = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, monthly payment, PMT is $105.13

Total Finance Charge will then be obtained from the amortization schedule from the First Period to the 24th Period and this will be : $203.08.

Say the marginal tax rate is 30 percent and that government expenditures do not change with output. Say also that the economy is at potential output and that the deficit is $200 billion.Required:a. What is the size of the cyclical deficit?b. What is the size of the structural deficit?c. How would your answers to a and b change if the deficit was still $200 billion but output was $200 billion below potential?d. How would your answers to a and b change if the deficit was still $200 billion but output was $100 billion above potential?

Answers

Answer:

a. The Cyclical deficit refers to the deficit arising from the difference between the potential output and the actual output.

The question assumes that the economy is producing at potential which means actual output equals potential output.

Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)

Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * 0

Cyclical Deficit  = $0

b. Structural deficit occurs even when the economy is at potential because it refers to Government deficits that happen when the economy is experiencing normal activity.

Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit

Structural Deficit = 200 billion - 0

Structural Deficit = $200 billion

c. Output is $200 billion below potential

Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)

Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * 200

Cyclical Deficit  = $60 billion

Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit

Structural Deficit = 200 billion - 60

Structural Deficit = $140 billion

d. Output is $100 billion above potential

Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)

Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * -100 as actual is above potential

Cyclical Deficit  = -$30 billion

Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit

Structural Deficit = 200 billion - (-30)

Structural Deficit = $230 billion

What are the portfolio weights for a portfolio that has 156 shares of Stock A that sell for $45 per share and 130 shares of Stock B that sell for $30 per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)

Answers

Answer:

Total Stock price of Stock A = 156 x 45

Total Stock price of Stock A = $7,020

Total Stock price of Stock B = 130 x 30

Total Stock price of Stock B = $3,900

Hence, the total Stock price of Stock of A & B is $7,020 & $3,900 respectively.

Portfolio weight of Stock A = 7,020/ ( 7,020 + 3,900)

Portfolio weight of Stock A = 64%

Portfolio weight of Stock B = 3,900 / ( 7,020 + 3,900)

Portfolio weight of Stock B = 36%

Hence, the portfolio weight of stock A & B is 64% & 36% respectively.

2. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price if you could buy at the equilibrium exchange rate?
3. Will foreigners want to demand Stan’s rupees to buy goods at the official rate? Explain.
4. Will people in Stan want to buy U.S. goods at the official exchange rates? Will they being supplying or demanding their rupees?
5. Will the monetary authorities in Stan have to buy up a surplus of their currency or sell their currency to meet a shortage of their currency to keep the exchange rate at 0.50 dollars per rupee?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. At 0fficial exchange rate:

100 * 0.5 = $50

what I want to buy would be purchased at $50

at market exchange rate:

0.25 x 100 = $25

products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.

2. at equilibrium exchange rate:

100 x 0.25% = $25

the price is $25

3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.

4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.

5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.

Answers

Answer:

C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.

Explanation:

In the case noted in the question above, there is a situation that could be unpleasant if it were decided by some type of bias.

Therefore, the most appropriate alternative for the team to address this situation would be to create a rotating assignment for each team member to share the notes. This way it would not happen that a team member is always chosen to perform a task that causes dissatisfaction in the whole team. Creating a rotating assignment to carry out the task would guarantee the uniformity of the task assignment and avoid possible dissatisfactions, inequalities and interpersonal conflicts that could arise.

Contribution margin per unit               $72             $38

Number of toothbrushes per hour               26            68

Total contribution margin per hour        $1,872       $2,584

Decision: Brik Products should emphasize the production and sale of the Standard electric toothbrushes as this rakes in more contribution per the constraining factor, i.e. machine hours.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                                   Deluxe      Standard

Sale price                                               $94          $54

Variable expense                                         22             16

Contribution margin per unit                 72             38  (not $36)

Contribution margin ratio         76.6% (not 75.5%)   70.4%

Number of toothbrushes per hour               26          68

Machine hours available = 4,200 hours

b) Analysis:

For Brik Products, the contribution margin per machine hour = contribution per unit x units per hour.  Brik will generate a total contribution margin per product line without producing the other that is equal to the contribution margin per machine hour multiplied by total machine hours.

Assuming that Brik Products concentrates on the production of the standard electric toothbrushes alone, it will generate a total contribution margin of $10,852,800 ($2,584 x 4,200) as against the total contribution margin of $7,862,400 ($1,872 x 4,200) to be generated if only Deluxe electric toothbrushes are produced.

Answers

Answer:

% change in multi-factor productivity = 2.88%

% change in raw materials productivity = -2.94%

% change in labor productivity = 2.33%

Explanation:

                                            2015           2016

Output:

Sales                       $300,000      $330,000

Inputs:

Labor                         $40,000       $43,000 Raw Materials:          $45,000        $51,000 Energy:                       $10,000         $9,000 Capital Employed:  $250,000     $262,000 Other:                           $2,000         $6,000

multi-factor = total output / (labor costs + materials costs + overhead costs)

MFP 2015 = $300,000 / ($40,000 + $45,000 + $10,000 + $250,000 + $2,000) = 0.8646

MFP 2016 = $330,000 / ($43,000 + $51,000 + $9,000 + $262,000 + $6,000) = 0.8895

% change = (0.8895 - 0.8646) / 0.8646 = 0.0288 = 2.88%

raw materials productivity = total output / materials costs

raw materials productivity 2015 = $300,000 / $45,000 = 6.6667

raw materials productivity 2016 = $330,000 / $51,000 = 6.4706

% change = (6.4706 - 6.6667) / 6.6667 = -0.0294 = -2.94%

labor productivity = total output / labor costs

labor productivity 2015 = $300,000 / $40,000 = 7.5

labor productivity 2016 = $330,000 / $43,000 = 7.6744

% change = (7.6744 - 7.5) / 7.5 = 0.0233 = 2.33%

The activity variance for supplies cost in March would be closest to:

Answers

Answer:

The activity variance for supplies cost in March would be closest to $24 (Unfavorable)

Explanation:

The activity variance for supplies cost in March is calculated below

Activity variance = Planning Budget - Flexible Budget

= ($1,700 + ($8 * 610)) - ($1,700 + ($8 * 613))

= ($1,700 + $4,880) - ($1,700 + $4,904)

= $6,580 - $6,604

= $24U

The flexible budget is greater than the planning budget. Therefore, the variance is unfavorable (U)

A manufacturing company has variable overhead costs of $2.50 per unit and fixed costs of $5,000 per month. Each unit requires 4 hours of direct labor and the company expects to produce 2,000 units each month. The standard overhead rate will be

Answers

Answer:

Standard Overhead rate is $1.25 per Direct labor hours

Explanation:

Total variable cost (2000 unit * $2.50) =    $5,000

Total fixed cost                                       =    $5,000

Estimated Overhead cost                     =     $10,000

Estimated Direct labor hour = 2000 unit * 4 hours = 8,000 hours

Standard Overhead rate = Estimated overhead cost / Estimated Direct labor hour

Standard Overhead rate = $10,000 / 8,000 hours

Standard Overhead rate = $1.25 per Direct labor hours

Explanation:

Fiedler is of the view that a person's leadership style is a product of experiences throughout their lifetime. So it is difficult to change it.

He suggested that instead of teaching a particular leadership style and forcing people to align with them, it is better to adjust the situation to an individual's leadership style.

The weakness of this is that the leader may be more effective in a particular situation and weak in another one

Answers

Answer:

1. It is satisfied

2. 1.4

3. 1.18

4. 95% confidence is wider

Explanation:

1. It is normally distributed since n<30

2. Margin of error with 95% confidence

= Alpha = 1 - 0.95

= O.05

Alpha/2 = 0.025

Z(0.025) = 1.960

Margin of error = z(1.960)*SD/√n

= 1.960*(3.2/√20)

= 1.960 x 0.7156

= 1.4025

Approximately 1.4

3. At 90%

Alpha = 1 -0.9

= 0.10

Alpha/2 = 0.05

Z(0.05) =1.645

E = 1.645 x 3.2/√20

= 1.645 x 0.7176

= 1.177

Approximately 1.18

4. From the calculations in 2 and 3 it is obvious that the margin of error with 95% confidence interval is wider.

Answer:

The average rate of return of this investment is 8%.

Note: Based on the information provided in the question, the average rate of return of this investment is 8% but it is not included in the option. Kindly confirm this from your teacher.

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged and they therefore first sorted before answering the question as follows:

Year         Income from Operations             Net Cash Flow

  1                          $100,000                               $180,000

  2                             40,000                                 120,000

The explanations to the answer is now given as follows:

Calculation of the average rate of return for this investment

Average rate of return (ARR) is a financial ratio that is used to determine the rate of return that is expected from an asset over its lifetime. ARR is calculated as the total income from the assets divided by the initial investment on the assets.

The average rate of return for this investment can be calculated as follows:

Total income form operations over five years = $100,000 + $40,000 + $40,000 $ $10,000 + $10,000 = $200,000

Average income = Total income form operations over five years / Number of years = $200,000 / 5 = $40,000

Average rate of return for this investment = Average income / Cost of Machine = $40,000 / $490,000 = 0.08, or 8%

Therefore, the average rate of return is 8%.

a stock split increases the number of authorized issued and outstanding shares of stock coupled with a proportionate reduction in the

Answers

Answer:

stock price

earning per share

dividends per share

Explanation:

A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares outstanding.

for example if a company has 4 million shares outstanding at a price of $20, earning per share is $1 and dividend per share is $0.50. this company announces a 2 for 1 split :

the number of outstanding shares becomes 2 x 4 million = 8 million

stock price becomes = $40 / 2 =$20

earning per share = $1 / 2 = $0.50

dividend per share = $0.5 / 2 = $0.25

Kate decides to issue cash dividends on both the common stock and the preferred stock. Currently there are 50 outstanding preferred shares and 500 common shares outstanding. The dividends that Kate paid were $6 per share on the preferred shares and $2 per share on the common shares. Provide the journal entry for the payment of the cash dividends.

Answers

Answer:

Journal Entry for both type of shares is given below

Explanation:

DATA

Preference shares = 50

Common shares = 500

Dividend for preference shareholders = $6/share

Dividend for Common shareholders = $2/share

Entry                                                       DEBIT         CREDIT

Dividend (for preference shares)         $300

Dividend (for common shares)            $1000

Cash                                                                           $1,300

Working

Preference shares dividend = 50 x $6/share = $300

Common shares dividend = 500 x $2/share = $1000

A company has a merit pay plan based on the relative performances of workers teams. Each worker is a team gets the same wage as other team members, but those in more productive teams get higher wages. Which of the following would NOT explain why this incentive might be better than other methods for motivating workers to work harder?
A) If a worker works harder, it increases the productivity of other team members.
B) If a team works harder, it does not affect the productivity of other teams.
C) One worker can easily sabotage the productivity of other workers.
D) One team can easily sabotage the productivity of other teams.

Answers

Answer:

C) One worker can easily sabotage the productivity of other workers.

Explanation:

This is a form of compensation by merit that comprises the performance of a team as a whole, so this is a way of motivating both group work and individual work.

In the scenario above, we can see that this compensation plan would be effective in leveraging the performance of individual workers, and of teams, because if each member of the team is more productive, it will benefit the team as a whole. And this method will not affect the productivity of other teams, as each team will be encouraged and engaged to do the best job possible to achieve merit pay.

The alternative that does not correspond to the question that this incentive may be better than other methods to motivate workers to work harder, is the one that says that a worker can sabotage the productivity of other workers, as that worker is also likely to be engaged in not sabotaging the work of other team members, as the remuneration bonuses depend on the effort of the entire team to work together, and not just one employee.
