Suppose that Congress enacts a major tax increase. At the same time, the Federal Reserve uses monetary policy in such a way that the combined effect of the tax increase and the monetary policy is that GDP does not change at all. Based on this information, explain clearly what the overall (short-run) effect?
Answer:
Since GDP does not change, it means that Federal Reserve System undertook expansionary monetary policy to counteract the contractionary fiscal policy.
a. Investment - Expansionary monetary policy means fall in interest rate, so investment would rise.
b. The net effect would be that AD curve would not have changed (since output is constant), so price level remains the same.
c. Government would get surplus as government spending is same but tax revenue rose.
_____ is the rate that causes the present value of all cash flows from a property (including its resale value) to be equal to the original purchase price of the property.
a) IRR
b) NPV
c) TWR
d) TVM
Answer:
a) IRR
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the rate of return at which the net present value is zero
The net present value means the difference between the present value of all cash inflows after discounted and the initial investment
Therefore when the above two things are equivalent to each other so this we called as internal rate of return (IRR)

Peter crossed the street at a crosswalk without looking for oncoming traffic. He was struck first by a car driven by Abel and then by a car driven by Baker. Peter sued Abel and Baker for negligence. The jury determined that Peter was 60% at fault, Abel 30% and Baker 10%. The jury also determined that Peter suffered damages of $100,000. Abel is insolvent. In a contributory negligence jurisdiction, how much can Peter collect from Baker
Answer: Nothing
Explanation:
A contributory negligence state, simply states that in a situation whereby a plaintiff is negligent and thereby contributes to a particular accident, he or she will in this case be barred from recovering.
Since Peter crossed the street at a crosswalk without looking for oncoming traffic, Peter would collect nothing from Baker.

Joe plans to fund his individual retirement account (IRA) with the maximum contribution of $2,500 at the end of each year for the next 30 years. If Joe can earn 10 percent on his contributions, how much will he have at the end of the thirtieth year?
a. $411,235
b. $611,235.
c. $23,567.
d. $43,567.
Answer:
FV= $411,235.06
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual deposit= $2,500
Number of periods= 30 years
Interest rate= 10%
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {2,500*[(1.1^30) - 1]} / 0.1
FV= $411,235.06

Suppose we have a bond issue currently outstanding that has 20 years left to maturity. The coupon rate is 8%, and coupons are paid semiannually. The bond is currently selling for $828 per $1,000 bond. What is the cost of debt?
a. 8%
b. 9%
c. 10%
d. 11%
e. 1296
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
The coupon payment is annual, meaning it is being paid once a year.
N(Number of years/Number of periods) = 40(20 x 2)
I/Y(Yield-To-Maturity) = ?
PMT(coupon payment) = $40[(80÷2/100) x $1,000]
FV(Future value/Par value) =$1,000
PV(present value or market value) = -828
Now to solve this, lets use a financial calculator (e.g Texas BA II plus)
N= 40; I/Y = ?; PMT = $40; FV = $1,000; CPT PV = -828
The cost of debt is 5%
Note that this is for semiannual. The annual cost of debt is therefore, 10%(5% x 2)
A company reports basic earnings per share of $3.50, cash dividends per share of $1.25, and a market price per share of $64.75. The company's dividend yield equals:
a. 1.93%
b. 2.14%
c. 4.67%
Answer:
$1.93
Explanation:
The earnings per share is $3.50
Cash dividend per share is $1.25
Market price per share is $64.75
Therefore the company's dividend yield can be calculated as follows
= 1.25/64.75
= 0.0193 × 100
= $1.93
Hence the company's dividend yield is $1.93

d. $65.00.
e. $63.20.
5. What is the economic order quantity for pepperoni?
a. 40 pounds.
b. 80 pounds.
c. 100 pounds.
d. 20 pounds.
e. 60 pounds.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1. Reorder point is
= Daily demand × lead ime
= 20 × 3 days
= 60 pounds
2. The length of the order cycle is
= Order quantity ÷ demand rate
= 80 ÷ 20 pounds
= 4 days
3. The average inventory level is
= Order quantity ÷ 2
= 80 ÷ 2
= 40 pounds
4. The total daily cost is
the cost of the pepperoni = daily demand × cost per pound
= 20 × 3 pound
= 60
Daily ordering cost is
= daily demand ÷ ordering quantity × ordering cost
= 20 ÷ 80 × $10
= $2.50
And, the daily holding cost is
= ordering cost ÷ 2 × holding cost
= 80 ÷ 2 × 0.04
= $1.60
Now the total daily cost is
= $60 + $2.50 + $1.60
= $64.10
5. The economic order quantity is
= (√2 × annual demand × ordering cost ÷ carrying cost)
= √2 × 20 × 10 ÷ 0.04
= √10,000
= 100
The following information relates to the Fowler Company for 2014: Beginning accounts receivable 5,000 Credit Sales 40,000 Ending accounts receivable 7,000 What was the amount of cash collections?
Answer:
$38,000
Explanation:
The amount of cash collections would be computed as;
Cash collections = Beginning accounts receivable + Credit sales - Ending accounts receivable
Where;
Beginning accounts receivable = $5,000
Credit sales = $40,000
Ending accounts receivable = $7,000
Therefore,
Cash collections = [($5,000 + $40,000) - $7,000]
Cash collections = $38,000

Bramble Frosted Flakes Company offers its customers a pottery cereal bowl if they send in 4 boxtops from Bramble Frosted Flakes boxes and $2. The company estimates that 60% of the boxtops will be redeemed. In 2021, the company sold 809000 boxes of Frosted Flakes and customers redeemed 352000 boxtops receiving 88000 bowls. If the bowls cost Bramble Company $4 each, how much liability for outstanding premiums should be recorded at the end of 2021
Answer: $66700
Explanation:
Number of boxtops that was sold = 809000
Estimated boxtops to be redeemed = 809,000 × 60% = 485400
Less: Boxtops received = 352000
Estimated boxtops not received yet = 133400
The number of boxtops that will be needed per bowl will then be:
= 133400 / 4
= 33350
Therefore, liability for outstanding premiums that should be recorded at the end of 2021 would be:
= 33350 × ($4 - $2)
= 33350 × $2
= $66700
The Outlet Mall has a cost of equity of 16.8%, a pretax cost of debt of 8.1%, and a return on assets of 14.5%. Ignore taxes. What is the debt-equity ratio?
Answer:
0.36
Explanation:
Cost of equity of 16.8%,
Pretax cost of debt of 8.1%
Return on assets of 14.5%
As per NN proposition: Cost of equity = Return on asset + D/E ratio (Return on asset-Cost of debt)
0.168 = 0.145 + D/E (0.145 - 0.082)
0.168 - 0.145 = D/E (0.064)
0.023 = D/E (0.064)
D/E = 0.023/0.064
D/E = 0.359375
D/E = 0.36
Thus, the debt-equity ratio is 0.36

= $124,931.5
Pigskin Inc. produces and sells leather handbags. Sales are 40% in cash and 60% on account. Cash from sales on account is collected 50% in the month of sale and 50% in the month following. In February, Pigskin has total sales revenue of $160,000 and total cash collections of $172,000. Compute the total sales revenues for the month of January. Group of answer choices $200,000 $220,000 $60,000 $120,000 None of the other answers are correct
Answer:
None of the other answers are correct
Explanation:
February Data is given as :
Total Sales Revenue = $160,000
Total Cash Collections = $172,000
Thus the using the February Total Credit Sales in January will be
40 % = February Cash Collection
= $172,000 × 40%
= $68,800
50 % of remainder = February credit sales collection
= (172,000 - 68,800) × 50%
= $51,600
50 % of remainder = January credit sales collection
= (172,000 - 68,800) × 50%
= $51,600
Then January Credit Sales will be : $51,600 × 2 = $103,200
But this is only 60 % of the total sales.
The full 100 % will be : 100 % / 60 % × $103,200 = $172,000
Therefore,
Using this data give None of the other answers are correct

Product No. 794 Raw Material Actual May 1 inventory 11,000 units 29,000 units Desired May 31 inventory 17,000 units 20,000 units On the basis of the information presented, how many units of raw material should Blaylock purchase for use in May production
Answer:
Purchases= 264,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product N°794:
Sales= 85,000 units
Beginning inventory= 11,000
Ending inventory= 17,000
Raw materials:
Standard raw material per unit= 3 units
Beginning inventory= 29,000 units
Ending inventory= 20,000 units
First, we need to calculate the total production for May:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 85,000 + 17,000 - 11,000
Production= 91,000 units
Now, purchases of raw material for May:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 91,000*3 + 20,000 - 29,000
Purchases= 264,000 units

Dragon makes all sales on account, subject to the following collection pattern: 30% are collected in the month of sale; 60% are collected in the first month after sale; and 10% are collected in the second month after sale. If sales for June, July, and August were $120,000, $160,000, and $220,000, respectively, what were the firm's budgeted collections for August and the company's budgeted receivables balance on August 31?
Answer: $174000
Explanation:
The firm's budgeted collections for August and the company's budgeted receivables balance on August 31 would be calculated as:
= (30% × $220,000) + (60% × $160,000) + (10% × $120,000)
= (0.3 × $220,000) + (0.6 × $160,000) + (0.1 × $120,000)
= $66000 + $96000 + $12000

A firm sells 420 units of a good when it charges a price of $24. When it charges a price of $28 it sells 480 units. What is the price elasticity of demand (in absolute value)?
Answer:
0.87
Explanation:
Price elasticity is defined as a measure of how responsive the quantity of a product demanded is to changes in its price.
It is important in determining how price changes affects the demand of a product.
The supplier uses this to gauge how an increase in price will affect demand and by extension their profits.
It is calculated by finding ratio of percentage change in quantity to percentage change in price.
Price elasticity = (% change in quantity demanded) ÷ (%change in price)
Change in quantity demanded = (480-420) ÷420 = 0.143
Change in price = (28-24) ÷ 24 = 0.167
Price elasticity = 0.143 ÷ 0.167 = 0.87
