The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Keeping a journal about what is good and bad regarding my summer or part-time work is a good idea to help me choose a career path because writing down what I like and what I dislike, I can get a pretty close idea of the things I enjoy and have more skills to perform, compared to the things I do not like or I have no abilities at all.
If a clearly identify my skills and abilities in the workplace during the summer, it will be easier for me to identify what could be the profession I love or at least, what I am attracted to.
As it is difficult to remember all the work experience by memory, writing the journal will help me to remember exact dates, specific activities that I enjoyed or were interesting, and what was not.

Suppose you borrow at the risk-free rate an amount equal to your initial wealth and invest in a portfolio with an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of returns of 20%. The risk-free asset has an interest rate of 4%. Calculate the expected return on the resulting portfolio.
Answer: 28%
Explanation:
First, we have to make an assumption that the initial wealth is 100, then the weight of the risk free asset will be:
= Amount invested in risk free / Initial wealth
= -100/100
= -1
The weight of the portfolio will be calculated as:
= 1 - weight of risk free asset
= 1-(-1)
= 1 + 1
= 2
Therefore, the expected return on the resulting portfolio will be:
= 2 × 16 + [(-1) × 4]
= 32 - 4
= 28
When companies use automated production processes, they tend to condense the three manufacturing costs into two categories. These categories are: direct and indirect materials. direct costs and indirect materials. indirect materials and conversion costs. direct materials and conversion costs.
Answer:

A stock just paid an annual dividend of $1.10. The dividend is expected to increase by 10 percent per year for the next two years and then increase by 2 percent per year thereafter. The discount rate is 14 percent. What correctly computes the current stock price?
Answer: $10.79
Explanation:
This requires the use of the Dividend Discount Model.
The price of the stock is the present value of the dividends for the two years and then the Terminal value.
Terminal value = Third year dividend / (Required return - Growth rate)
= (1.10 * 1.10² * 1.02) / (14% - 2%)
= 1.35762 / 12%
= $11.31
Price of stock is:
= Present value of first year dividend + Present value of second year dividend + Present value of Terminal value
= ((1.10 * 1.1) / 1.14) + (( 1.10 * 1.1²) / 1.14²) + (11.31 / 1.14²)
= $10.79

4. You want to take out a fully-amortizing 30-year mortgage. You can afford monthly payments of $600 each. The interest rate is 9%. How much money can you borrow?
Answer: $74569
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the amount that can be borrowed is explained below:
Present value of annuity will e calculated as:
= 600 × [1-(1+0.09/12)^-(12 ×30)] / (0.09/12)
= 600 × [1-(1+0.0075)^-(360)] / 0.0075
= 600 × 1-(1.0075)^-(360)] / 0.0075
= 600 × [1-0.0678860074] / 0.0075
= 600 × 124.282
= 74569
The amount that can be borrowed is $74569
Assume that a company pays a 5% sales commission Also, assume the job cost sheet for Job X shows that (1) it used 18 direct tabor-hours and incurred direct materials and direct labor charges of $500 and $360, and (2) its unit product cost is $27.35. If Job X contained 40 units, then what is the plantwide predetermined overhead rate per direct labor-hour?
a. $15.00
b. $60.78
c. $13.00
d. $47.78
Answer:
c. $13.00
Explanation:
The computation of the plantwide predetermined overhead rate is given below;
Given that
Direct labor hour used = 18
Direct material cost = $500
Direct labor cost = $360
Unit product cost = $27.35
So,
Total cost of Job = Number of unit × Unit product cos
= 40 × 27.35
= $1,094
Now
Total cost of Job = Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Overhead applied
1,094 = 500 + 360 + Overhead applied
Overhead applied = $234
Now
Overhead applied = Direct labor hour used × Plantwide predetermined overhead rate
234 = 18 × Plantwide predetermined overhead rate
Plantwide predetermined overhead rate = $13 per direct labor hour
The plantwide predetermined overhead rate per direct labor-hour is $13 per DLH
Given Information
Direct labor hour used = 18
Direct material cost = $500
Direct labor cost = $360
Unit product cost = $27.35
Total cost of Job = Number of unit × Unit product cost
Total cost of Job = 40 × 27.35
Total cost of Job = $1,094
Total cost of Job = Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Overhead applied
1,094 = 500 + 360 + Overhead applied
Overhead applied = $234
Overhead applied = Direct labor hour used × Plantwide predetermined overhead rate
234 = 18 × Plantwide predetermined overhead rate
Plantwide predetermined overhead rate = $13 per direct labor hour
Hence, the plantwide predetermined overhead rate per direct labor-hour is $13 per DLH.
Therefore, the Option C is correct.

During 2020, Morefield Building Company constructed various assets at a total cost of $14,700,000. The weighted average accumulated expenditures on assets qualifying for capitalization of interest during 2020 were $10,700,000. The company had the following debt outstanding at December 31, 2020:
1. 10%, 5-year note to finance construction of various assets, dated January 1,
2020, with interest payable annually on January 1 $6,300,000
2. 12%, ten-year bonds issued at par on December 31, 2014, with interest payable
annually on December 31 7,000,000
3. 9%, 3-year note payable, dated January 1, 2019, with interest payable annually
on January 1 3,500,000
Instructions:
Compute the amounts of each of the following (show computations).
1. Avoidable interest.
2. Total interest to be capitalized during 2020.
Answer:
1. $1,015,000
2. $1,015,000
Explanation:
1. Computation for the Avoidable interest.
First step is to Compute the weighted average interest rate:
Principal Interest
12% ten-year bonds$ 7,000,000 $840,000
9% 3-year note $3,500,000 $315,000
Total $10,500,000 $1,155,000
Weighted average interest rate = $1,155,000 ÷ $10,500,000
Weighted average interest rate= 11%
Now let compute the Avoidable Interest
Weighted Average Accumulated Expenditures *Applicable interest rate = AVOIDABLE INTEREST
$6,300,000 *.10 = $630,000
$3,500,000 *.11= $385,000
Total $9,800,000 $1,015,000
Therefore the Avoidable Interest is $1,015,000
2. Computation for Total interest to be capitalized during 2020
2020 Actual interest cost
Construction note $6,300,000 × .10 =$630,000
12% ten-year bonds, $7,000,000 × .12 =$840,000
9% three-year note, $3,500,000 × .09=$315,000
Total $1,785,000
Therefore Total interest to be capitalized during 2020 will be $1,015,000 which is the LESSER of
$1,785,000
Productivity is difficult to measure because precise units of measure are available, quality is consistent, and exogenous variables don't change. True False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
All of the statements being made are False. Productivity is measured by stats. For example, in any given month a certain number of products are produced by a fixed number of employees, the next month the same value is calculated and compared with the previous month. This lets you know if productivity is increasing or decreasing. The quality of anything depends on the time and effort being implemented in making something, if this changes then so does the quality. Exogenous variables are simply variables that are not affected by other variables in a given environment, this does not mean that they cannot change. Even though they are independent they can still change. For example, the weather is an exogenous variable but it can still change from Raining to Sunny.
The following data for a production department relate to two accounting periods:
Activity(machine-hours)....... 17,000 18,500
Department costs................... $246,500 $251,750
The best estimate of fixed department cost is closest to:________.
Answer:
Fixed costs= $187,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activity(machine-hours): 17,000 18,500
Department costs: $246,500 $251,750
To calculate the fixed and variable cost, we need to use the high-low method:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (251,750 - 246,500) / (18,500 - 17,000)
Variable cost per unit= $3.5
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 251,750 - (3.5*18,500)
Fixed costs= $187,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 246,500 - (3.5*17,000)
Fixed costs= $187,000

There is no toll charge to drive on freeway A. If there is freeway congestion at 9 a.m., there will be greater freeway congestion at 11 a.m. if _______.
1. more people carpool at 11 a.m. than at 9 a.m.
2. none of these options.
3. the demand to drive on the freeway is the same at both times.
4. the demand to drive on the freeway at 9 a.m. is greater than the demand to drive on the freeway at 11 a.m.
5. the demand to drive on the freeway at 11 a.m. is greater than the demand to drive on the freeway at 9 a.m.
Answer:
5
Explanation:
If there is greater freeway congestion at 11 a.m than at 9am, it means that more people are using the road at 11am compared to 9am. This means that the demand to drive on the freeway at 11 a.m. is greater than the demand to drive on the freeway at 9 a.m.
If more people carpool at 11 a.m. than at 9 a.m, there would be less cars on the road at 11am. this would make the freeway less congested at 11am when compared to 9am

Health and Wealth Company is financed entirely by common stock that is priced to offer a 15 percent expected return. If the company repurchases 25 percent of the common stock and substitutes an equal value of debt yielding 6 percent, what is the expected return on the common stock after refinancing
Answer: 18%
Explanation:
The expected return on the common stock after refinancing will be calculated thus:
Let's assume that common stock is 1000. Therefore, return will be:
= 15% × 1000 = 150
Since 25% of the common stock is repurchased, this will be:
= 25% × 1000 = 250
Then, this 250 is financed by debt at 6%, and this will be:
= 6% × 250 = 15
Then, the new return will be:
= 150 - 15 = 135
Expected Return will now be:
= 135/(1000 - 250)
= 135/750
= 18%
Bob agreed to tutor Lola in Spanish for two (2) hours and Lola agreed to pay $25.00 per hour for the tutoring services. Bob tutored Lola and she paid Bob $50.00. This means that the parties have been _____.
Answer: discharged by performance
Explanation:
When parties to a contract are discharged from their duties as per the contract, it means that they are no longer party to the agreement. When this is done by performance, it means that the discharge was done because both parties have fulfilled the demands of the contract.
Bob agreed to tutor Lola for two hours and Lola agreed to pay Bob $50 for that. Bob then tutored her for the two hours and was paid the amount. The parties have therefore fulfilled their obligations to each other and so the contract has been satisfied.
Xinhong Company is considering replacing one of its manufacturing machines. The machine has a book value of $45,000 and a remaining useful life of 5 years, at which time its salvage value will be zero. It has a current market value of $55,000. Variable manufacturing costs are $33,400 per year for this machine. Information on two alternative replacement machines follows.
Alternative A Alternative B

Variable manufacturing costs per year 23,000 10,200
Calculate the total change in net income if Alternative A, B is adopted. Should Xinhong keep or replace its manufacturing machine? If the machine should be replaced, which alternative new machine should Xinhong purchase?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
For Alternative A
Cost to buy new machine -$119,000.00
Cash received $55,000.00
Reduction in variable manufacturing cost ($33400 - $23000) ×5 $52,000.00
Total change in net income -$12,000.00
For Alternative B
Cost to buy new machine -$112,000.00
Cash received $55,000.00
Reduction in variable manufacturing cost ($33400 - $10200) × 5 $116,000.00
Total change in net income $59,000.00
So here Xinhong should purchase a machine that belong from Alternative B.

To decrease the money supply, the Federal Reserve could a. decrease the required reserve ratio. b. conduct an open market purchase of U.S. Treasury securities. c. increase the discount rate. d. forbid the reselling of U.S. Treasury securities.
Answer: c. increase the discount rate.
Explanation:
The discount rate of a country is the rate at which the central bank in that country loans money out to the financial institutions.
When this rate is low, more financial institutions will borrow money as opposed to when it is high. Banks borrowing money increases the money supply in the economy so if the Federal Reserve wants to reduce money supply, it should increase the discount rate which would dissuade banks from borrowing from the Fed thereby limiting money supply.
