Answer:
Slightly more than 5.33%.
Explanation:
In case when the municipal bond owned by an individual i.e. issued is not for interest free tax rate but also it is non tax on that particular state
So here the tax-equivalent yield is
= Purchase bond percentage ÷ (1 - tax rate)
= 0.04 ÷ (1 - 0.25)
= 5.33%
Hence, his total tax-equivalent yield is 5.33% i.e. calculated by applying the above formula

A
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of composite score for each location is shown below:-
Composite score for A is
= 0.15 × 89 + .20 × 75 + 0.18 × 92 + 0.27 × 92 + 0.10 × 93 + 0.10 × 90
= 88.05
Composite score for B is
= 0.15 × 78 + .20 × 93 + 0.18 × 90 + 0.27 × 93 + 0.10 × 97 + 0.10 × 96
= 90.91
Composite score for C is
= 0.15 × 84 + .20 × 98 + 0.18 × 87 + 0.27 × 82 + 0.10 × 84 + 0.10 × 95
= 87.90
Therefore for computing the composite score for each location we simply multiply weight with A location and in the same manner of A, B and C
b. The maximum composite score from A, B and C is B

Which of the following represents a difference in the process by which a monopolistic competitor and a monopolist make their respective decisions about quantity and price?a. only the monopolist competitor faces a downward-sloping demand curve.b. the monopolist's perceived demand curve is market demandc. the monopolist competitor's perceived demand curve is market demandd. a monopolist need not fear entry and also selection b above
Answer:
a monopolist need not fear entry and also selection b above
Explanation:
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
examples of monopolistic competition are restaurants
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there is usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is an utility company

Joe must pay liabilities of 1,000 due 6 months from now and another 1,000 due one year from now. There are two available investments: \,1. Bond I: a 6-month bond with face amount of 1,000, a 8% nominal annual coupon rate convertible semiannually, and a 6% nominal annual yield rate convertible semiannually; and \,2. Bond II: a one year bond with face amount of 1,000, a 5% nominal annual coupon rate convertible semiannually, and a 7% nominal annual yield rate convertible semiannually Calculate the amount of each bond Joe should purchase in order to exactly match the liabilities.
Answer:
future liabilities:
$1,000 in 6 months
$1,000 in 1 year
Present value of bond I (due in 6 months):
PV = $1,000 / (1 + 3%) = $970.87
Present value of bond II (due in 1 year):
PV = $1,000 / (1 + 3.5%)² = $933.51
The price of the bonds is determined by the annual yield rate (YTM), not the coupon rate. Joe will pay $970.87 for bond I and $933.51 for bond II.
M&C Merchants is offering $2.5 million of new securities to the general public. Which SEC regulation governs this offering?
Answer:
Regulation A
Explanation:
Bank's Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities and Owners' Equity $1,600 $250 Securities $1,000 Capital (owners' equity) $150 Reserves$200 Deposits Loans $800 Debt Suppose the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves.
This would increase the reserves account and ______ the ______ account.
This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of __________ to a new value of_______
Which of the following is true of the capital requirement?
a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
b. A minimum leverage ratio for all banks.
c. Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank.
Answer:
1. This would increase the reserves account and increase the debt account.
Borrowing refers to debt and so it will increase the debt account.
2. This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of 13.33 to a new value of 14.
The bank leverage ratio refers to its Assets divided by Capital (Owners equity).
Before the $100 was borrowed, the leverage ratio was;
= (Reserves + loans + securities)/Capital
= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000) / 150
= 13.33
After the $100 was borrowed
= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000 + 100) /150
= 14.
3. a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
The capital requirement is meant to protect depositors in case the loans are defaulted on as the loans are created from the funds depositors bring in. Should the loans be defaulted on, they will be paid from the capital therefore if the bank holds more loans, it will have to hold more capital to ensure it can cover those loans.
If United Airlines acted as a "price leader" and all other airlines simply charged the same prices
that United Airlines charged, then could this action be illegal because it is a form of "silent collusion?"
A. There is no such term in microeconomics known as "tacit" or "silent collusion."
B. Matching the prices of the price leader firm is a good example of a competitive market.
C. The U.S. Anti-Trust Department has always considered this business behavior as suspicious
and it does consider this pricing strategy to be illegal.
D. The famous 1982 anti-monopoly IBM court case said that this pricing strategy within an
industry is legal as long as the firms fill out quarterly reports to keep the U.S. Anti-Trust
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The airline industry is an example of an oligopoly
An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.
Oligopolies are characterised by :
price setting firms
product differentiation
profit maximisation
high barriers to entry or exit of firms
downward sloping demand curve
the action taken by the other airlines is known as tacit collusion.
Tacit collusion is when other companies adopt the price of the price leader
Tacit collusion is not illegal while the explicit collision is illegal.
Stock splits can be used to: C) increase the par value per share while decreasing the market price per share. A) adjust the market price of a stock so it falls within a preferred trading range B) decrease a company's excess cash thereby lowering agency costs. E) adjust the debt-equity ratio to its preferred level D) increase the total equity of a firm.
Answer:
A) adjust the market price of a stock so it falls within a preferred trading range
Explanation:
A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares outstanding.
for example if a company has 6 million shares outstanding at a price of $10, earning per share is $1 and dividend per share is $2. this company announces a 2 for 1 split :
the number of outstanding shares becomes 2 x 6 million = 12 million
stock price becomes = $10 / 2 =$5
earning per share = $1 / 2 = $0.50
dividend per share = $2 / 2 = $1
After a stock split, the price of the shares falls. so it can be used to adjust the market price of a stock so it falls within a preferred trading range.
A stock split doesn't affect the balances in shareholders equity account.
Stock split doesn't affect the cash holdings of the firm.
Market capitalisation doesn't change after a split, so stock value doesn't change.
TB MC Qu. 8-174 LBC Corporation makes and sells ... LBC Corporation makes and sells a product called Product WZ. Each unit of Product WZ requires 2.0 hours of direct labor at the rate of $16.00 per direct labor-hour. Management would like you to prepare a Direct Labor Budget for June. The company plans to sell 39,000 units of Product WZ in June. The finished goods inventories on June 1 and June 30 are budgeted to be 610 and 110 units, respectively. Budgeted direct labor costs for June would be:
Answer:
Direct labor cost= $1,232,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Each unit of Product WZ requires 2 hours of direct labor at a rate of $16 per direct labor-hour.
Sales= 39,000 units
Beginning inventory= 610 units
Desired ending inventory= 110 units
First, we need to calculate the production required:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 39,000 + 110 - 610
Production= 38,500
Now, the direct labor budget:
Direct labor hours= 38,500*2= 77,000 hours
Direct labor cost= 77,000*16= $1,232,000
Phoenix Agency leases office space for $7,000 per month. On January 3, Phoenix incurs $65,000 to improve the leased office space. These improvements are expected to yield benefits for 8 years. Phoenix has 5 years remaining on its lease. Compute the amount of expense that should be recorded the first year related to the improvements.
Answer:
$13,000
Explanation:
The computation of the expense recorded in the first year is shown below:
Here the leasehold improvement should be depreciation by considering the lease term left or the estimated useful life whichever is lesser
Now the depreciation expense is
= Improvement cost ÷ lease term left
= $65,000 ÷ 5 years
= $13,000
hence, the amount of expense for the first year is $13,000

This loss cannot be compared to the total operating income of $105,000 which is made with the industrial systems. So, it is not the Industrial System Product line that is causing Safety Point Company to record a loss of $56,000. It is the fixed cost of $60,000 which cannot be eliminated with the elimination of the Industrial System product line that causes the loss and reduces total operating for the company.

The labor cost to produce a certain item is $8.50 per hour. Job setup costs $50 and material costs are $20 per unit. The item can be purchased for $88.50 per unit. The learning rate is 90 percent. Overhead is charged at a rate of 50 percent of labor, materials, and setup costs.
Required:
a. Determine the average unit cost for 20 units, given that the first unit took 5 hours to complete.
b. What is the minimum production quantity necessary to make production cost less than purchase cost?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Setup cost =$50
Material cost = $20
= $20×$20
= $400
Purchased cost = $88.50
Learning rate (P) = 90%
Labor cost is $8.50, and it requires 5 hours to produce the first unit. Total time required for the production of 20 units is
= 5×14.608
= $73.04
The value 14.608 is the total time factor which has been taken from table 7S.1 and the time required for the production of 20 units at the rate of 90% is 14.608. Hence, the labor cost for the production of 20 units will be calculated using the following method.
Cost of labor for production of 20 units
= 8.50×73.04
= $620.84
Hence,
In the problem, it has been given that the overhead cost is 50% of the labor material, and setup cost. Hence,
= 50/100 (620.84+50+400)
= 0.5×(1070.84)
= $535.42
Hence total cost
$535.42 +$1070.84
=$ 1606.26
Hence, the cost of production of 20 units is calculated by the following method.
= $1606.26÷20
=$80.313
Therefore, the unit cost is $80.313/unit.
Ans B:
The minimum production quantity important to make the production cost less than the purchase cost is calculated by the trial-and-error method. Now, let's take average unit cost when the 10 units are produced.
Setup cost =$50
Material cost = $20
= $20×$10
= $200
Labor cost is $8.50, and it requires 5 hours to produce the first unit. Total time required for the production of 10 units is
=5×7.994
= $39.97
The value 7.994 is the total time factor which has been taken from table 7S.1 and the time required for the production of 10 units at the rate of 90% is 7.994. Therefore, the labor cost for the production of 10 units will be calculated by the following method.
The cost of production of 20units
8.50×7.994×5
= $339.745

Assume that the returns from an asset are normally distributed. The average annual return for this asset over a specific period was 13.6 percent and the standard deviation of those returns in this period was 43.86 percent. a. What is the approximate probability that your money will double in value in a single year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What about triple in value? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 6 decimal places, e.g., .161616.)
Answer: a. 2.44%
b. 0.001070%
Explanation:
Given: The returns from an asset are normally distributed with
[tex]\mu=\text{ 13.6 percent and }\sigma=\text{43.86 percent.}[/tex]
Let x be the percentage value of return.
a. Double in value in a single year i.e. 100% return.
z-value = [tex]\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{100-13.6}{43.86}=1.97[/tex]
Required probability = Right-tailed probability for Z = 1.97
= 0.0244 [By p-value calculator]
= 2.44%
b. Triple in value in a single year i.e. 200% return.
z-value = [tex]\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{200-13.6}{43.86}=4.25[/tex]
Required probability = Right-tailed probability for Z =4.25
= 0.0000107 [By p-value calculator]
= 0.001070%
Vaughn Manufacturing is constructing a building. Construction began in 2020 and the building was completed 12/31/20. Vaughn made payments to the construction company of $3114000 on 7/1, $6456000 on 9/1, and $5950000 on 12/31. Weighted-average accumulated expenditures were
Answer:
$3,709,000
Explanation:
7/1 Time weighted amount = $3,114,000 * 6/12 = $1,557,000
9/1 Time weighted amount = $6,456,000 * 4/12 = $2,152,000
12/31 Time weighted amount = $5,950,000 * 0/12 = $0
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = 7/1 Time weighted amount + 9/1 Time weighted amount + 12/31 Time weighted amount
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $1,557,000 + $2,152,000 + 0
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $3,709,000
The cost-recovery method of recognizing profit for accounting purposes is permitted if a. collections in the year of sale do not exceed 30% of the total sales price. b. an unrealized profit account is credited. c. there is no reasonable basis for estimating collectibility. d. the method is consistently used for all sales of similar merchandise.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
c. there is no reasonable basis for estimating collectibility.
Explanation:
The cost recovery method of revenue recognition is a concept in accounting that refers to a method in which a business does not recognize income related to a sale until the cash collected exceeds the cost of the good or service sold. When a situation present itself where there is no reasonable basis for estimating collectibility, it justifies the use of the cost recovery method of revenue and profit recognition.
100 million diluted shares outstanding trading at $37.50 per share. The company has $1 billion of debt outstanding with a cost of debt at 6.5% at a marginal tax rate of 40%. The company has $100 million of cash on its balance sheet. What is the enterprise value of Correct Inc.
Answer:
$4,650,000,000
Explanation:
We will use the formula below to calculate the enterprise value of Correct inc.
Enterprise value = Market value capital and debts - Cash and investments
= 100 million diluted shares × 37.50 per share + $1 billion of debt outstanding - $100 million cash
= $3750m + $1000m - $100m
= $4,650,000,000.
At the beginning of 2023, the Mackinac Company purchased a machine for $510,000 (salvage value of $60,000) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation, but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the depreciation base. Depreciation has been recorded through 2025. The errors were discovered on 1/10/26; the 2025 books are still open. Correcting journal entries would include what entry to 1/1/25 Retained Earnings?
Answer:
$10,000 credited
Explanation:
DATA
Machine cost = 510,000
Salvage value = $60,000
Useful life = 6 years
Depreciation = $60,000/6years
Depreciation = $10,000
It means that we have overstated depreciation expense for the year with the amount of $10,000.
Retained earnings will be credited by $10,000 As the depreciation expense was overstated mistakenly by $10,000
