Answer:
a. $181,000
Explanation:
The Income Statement consists of Revenue and Expenses recorded on Accrual Basis. The Accrual Basis of Accounting states that Revenue and Expenses must be recorded as and when they Occur or Incur not when cash is paid or received.
Calculation of Net Income will thus be as follows :
Revenue Received $260,000
Unearned Revenue($65,000-$35,000) $30,000
Total Revenue $290,000
Less Expenses :
Expenses ($85,000+$26,000-$28,000) $83,000
Depreciation $16,000
Net Income $181,000
Consider the following data on U.S. GDP: Year Nominal GDP GDP Deflator (Billions of dollars) (Base year 2009) 2016 18,707 105.93 1996 8,073 73.18 The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1996 and 2016 was______, and the growth rate of the GDP deflator between 1996 and 2016 was:_______.
Answer:
Data on U.S. GDP
a) The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1996 and 2016 was 131.72%, calculated as follows:
= (2016 nominal GDP - 2009 nominal GDP) / 2009 nominal GDP x 100
= (18,707 - 8,073)/ 8,073 x 100
= 131.72%
b) The growth rate of the GDP deflator between 1996 and 2016 was 44.75%, calculated as follows:
= (2016 GDP deflator - 1996 GDP deflator)/ 1996 GDP deflator x 100
= (105.93 - 73.18)/73.18 x 100
= 44.75%
Explanation:

2. According to wikipedia.com, "the GDP deflator (implicit price deflator) is a measure of the level of prices of all new, domestically produced, final goods and services in an economy in a year."
3. Nominal GDP is a way of assessing an economy's economic production. It includes the current prices of goods and services. The GDP measures the monetary value of goods and services produced in an economy within a given period.
4. Growth rate refers to the percentage change of a specific variable within a specific time period. It is calculated as the difference between the current year's variable and the base year's variable, divided by the base year's variable, and then multiplied by 100.
A store sells 20 ice cream bars per hour for $4 each, but on discount days, it sells 35 ice cream bars per hour for $3. Based on these two data points, what would be the slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold?
Answer:
The slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold would be of -1/15
Explanation:
In order to calculate the slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold we would have to calculate the following formula:
Slope= change in yaxis( vertical)/change in xaxis(horizontal)
Slope= change in price/change in quantity demand
Slope=P2-P1/Q2-Q1
Slope=3-4/35-20
Slope=-1/15
The slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold would be of -1/15
Mary runs an ad in the paper offering a $5 reward for the return of her lost dog, Sparky. Mary has made a promise to pay the person who performs the act of returning Sparky. This is a(n) _____ contract. Select one: a. quasi b. implied c. bilateral d. unilateral
Answer:
This is a Unilateral contract
Explanation:
Mary has made a promise to pay the person who performs the act of returning Sparky therefore this is an example of a unilateral contract.
A unilateral contract is a type of contract agreement where an offeror such as Mary makes a promise to pay after the performance of a specified act, which is to return her dog Sparky
An investor enters into a 2-year swap agreement to purchase crude oil at $51.25 per barrel. Soon after the swap is created, forward prices rise and the new 2-year swap price is $61.50. If interest rates are 1% and 2% on 1- and 2-year zero coupon government bonds, respectively, what is the gain or loss to be made from unwrapping the original swap agreement?
Answer:
The present Value of Annual Gain for two years made from unwrapping the original swap agreement is $20.00
Explanation:
From the given information;
The annual gain from swap agreements = $61.50 - $51.25
The annual gain from swap agreements = $10.25
Annual rate for the first year = 1% = 0.01
Annual rate for the second year = 2% = 0.02
However the present gain for the first year will be;
[tex]= \dfrac{Annual \ Gain}{(1+r_1)^1}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{10.25}{(1+0.01)^1}[/tex]
= 10.14851485
The present gain for the second year will be;
[tex]= \dfrac{Annual \ Gain}{(1+r_2)^2}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{10.25}{(1+0.02)^2}[/tex]
= 9.851980008
The present Value of Annual Gain for two years is:
[tex]= \dfrac{Annual \ Gain}{(1+r_1)^1} + \dfrac{Annual \ Gain}{(1+r_2)^2}[/tex]
= 10.14851485 + 9.851980008
= 20.00049486
≅ $ 20.00
The present Value of Annual Gain for two years is $20.00
Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $76,000 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a ten-year service life, with a residual value of $7,200 at the end of ten years. Using the straight-line method, depreciation expense for 2021 would be:
Answer:
The depreciation expense for 2021 would be: $6,880
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed depreciation charge over the life of asset.
Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Residual Value) / Number of Estimated Useful life
= ($76,000 - $7,200) / 10
= $6,880
The amount of depreciation is charged at fixed amount of $6,880 for each of the years that this asset is in use in the business.
Conclusion :
The depreciation expense for 2021 would be: $6,880
Cinnamon Buns Co. (CBC) started 2018 with $52,600 of merchandise on hand. During 2018, $297,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 3/10 n/30. All discounts were taken. Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. CBC paid freight charges of $9,400. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $2,100 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $309,000. CBC uses a perpetual inventory system. Assuming CBC uses the gross method to record purchases, ending inventory would be:
Answer:
$39,053
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory is shown below:
Beginning inventory $52,600
Add: Inventory purchased $297,000
Add: Freight in $9,400
Less: Merchandise returned -$2,100
Less: Discounts -$8,847 ($297,000 - $2,100) × 3%
Less: Cost of goods sold -$309,000
Ending inventory $39,053
Hence, the ending inventory using the gross method is $39,053
Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $185 and $120, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $5 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 112,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below:
Alpha Beta
Direct materials $ 30 $ 10
Direct labor 22 29
Variable manufacturing overhead 20 13
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 24 26
Variable selling expenses 20 16
Common fixed expenses 23 18
Total cost per unit $ 139 $ 112
The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.
Required:
7.
Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 48,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease?
8.
Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 68,000 Betas and 88,000 Alphas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, its sales representatives could increase sales of Alpha by 12,000 units. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much would profits increase or decrease?
9.
Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 88,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 88,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $112 per unit. If Cane buys 88,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, how much will profits increase or decrease?
10.
Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 58,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 58,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $112 per unit.

15.
Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 88,000 units of Alpha and 68,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the company’s raw material available for production is limited to 172,000 pounds. Up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
7. profits will decrease by:
lost profits = total revenue - total costs = $5,760,000 - $5,376,000 = $384,000unavoidable fixed costs = $18 x 48,000 units = $864,000total decrease in profits ($1,248,000)8. profits will decrease by:
lost profits from Beta product line = $8,160,000 - $7,616,000 = ($544,000)increased profits from Alpha sales = $2,220,000 - $1,668,000 = $552,000unavoidable fixed costs = (68,000 x $18) - (12,000 x $23) = (948,000)total decrease in profits ($940,000)9. profits will increase by:
avoidable costs of producing 88,000 Alphas = 88,000 x $116 = $10,208,000cost of purchasing 88,000 x $112 = ($9,856,000)total increase in profits = $10,208,000 - $9,856,000 = $352,00010. profits will increase by:
avoidable costs of producing 58,000 Alphas = 58,000 x $116 = $6,728,000cost of purchasing 58,000 x $112 = ($6,496,000)total increase in profits = $6,728,000 - $6,496,000 = $232,00013. Since the profit margin per pound of direct materials used for Alphas = $7.67 and Betas = $4, the company should produce Alphas. It should produce 28,666 Alphas and 2 Betas. Total profits = $1,318,636 + $16 = $1,318,652
14. Maximum contribution margin:
Contribution margin Alphas = 28,666 units x $92 = $2,637,272Contribution margin Betas = 2 units x $52 = $104total contribution margin = $2,637,37615. Since the profit margin per pound of materials used Betas is only $4, there is not much room for increasing the materials costs. If you want to produce Betas, you would be willing to pay less than $9 per pound of direct materials.
But since the profit margin per pound of direct materials used on Alphas is much higher ($7.67), as long as you pay less than $12.97 per pound of direct materials you can still make a profit producing Alphas. So you could pay a much higher price if you wanted to produce Alphas and still make a profit.
Explanation:
Alpha Beta
Sales price $185 $120
Direct materials ($5 per pound) $30 $10
pounds of materials used 6 2
profit margin per pound $7.67 $4
Direct labor $22 $29
Variable manufacturing overhead $20 $13
Traceable fixed man. overhead $24 $26
Variable selling expenses $20 $16
Common fixed expenses (unavoidable) $23 $18
Total cost per unit $139 $112
total production capacity 112,000 units per year
contribution margin = sales revenue - variable costs:
contribution margin Alpha = $185 - $93 = $92
contribution margin Beta = $120 - $68 = $52

A firm's bonds have a maturity of 14 years with a $1,000 face value, have an 8% semiannual coupon, are callable in 7 years at $1,073.00, and currently sell at a price of $1,135.93. What are their nominal yield to maturity and their nominal yield to call? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
YTM = 6.51%
YTC = 6.40%
Explanation:
We need to solve using excel goal seek or bond formulas to generate the yield (interest rate) which matches the future couponb and maturity payment with the current selling price of the bond:
Present value of the coupon
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 40.000 (1,000 x 8% / 2 payment per year)
time 28 (14 years x 2 payment per year)
rate 0.032529972 (generate using goal seek tool)
[tex]40 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0325299719911398)^{-28} }{0.0325299719911398} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $727.8688
Pv of the maturity (lump sum)
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,000.00
time 28.00
rate 0.032529972
[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0325299719911398)^{28} } = PV[/tex]
PV 408.06
PV c $727.8688
PV m $408.0612
Total $1,135.9300
As this is a semiannual rate we multiply it by 2
0.032529972 x 2 = 0.065059944 = 6.51%
We repeat the procedure with changing the time and end-value to adjust for the callabe conditions:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 40.000
time 14 (7 years x 2 payment per year)
rate 0.032015131
[tex]40 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0320151313225188)^{-14} }{0.0320151313225188} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $445.6984
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,073.00 (call price)
time 14.00
rate 0.032015131
[tex]\frac{1073}{(1 + 0.0320151313225188)^{14} } = PV[/tex]
PV 690.23
PV c $445.6984
PV m $690.2316
Total $1,135.9300
Againg his will be a semiannual rate so we multiply by two:
0.032015131 x 2 = 0.064030263 = 6.40%
atton Company purchased $1,500,000 of 10% bonds of Scott Company on January 1, 2021, paying $1,410,375. The bonds mature January 1, 2031; interest is payable each July 1 and January 1. The discount of $89,625 provides an effective yield of 11%. Patton Company uses the effective-interest method and plans to hold these bonds to maturity. On July 1, 2021, Patton Company should debit its Debt Investments account for the Scott Company bonds by__________ and credit its Interest Revenue account by __________.
Answer:
Patton Company should debit its Debt Investments account for the Scott Company bonds by $2,571 and credit its Interest Revenue account by $155,283
Explanation:
On July 1 2021, Patton Company should increase its Debt Investments account for the Scott Company bonds by =
Amount of discount amortized = Interest revenue - Interest received
= ($1,410,375 × 11% × 6/12) - ($1,500,000 × 10% × 6/12)
= $77,571 - $75,000
= $2,571
Interest revenue on 31 December 2021 = ($1,410,375 + $2,571) × 11% × 6/12
= $77,712
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Patton Company should report interest revenue from the Scott Company bonds of = $77,571 + $77,712 = $155,283
Erosion can best be explained as the:
A. loss of current sales due to a new project being implemented.
B. loss of revenue due to employee theft.
C. additional income generated from the sales of a newly added product.
D. loss of revenue due to customer theft.
Answer:
A. loss of current sales due to a new project being implemented.
Explanation:
In business, erosion takes place when a new product or project competes with another product or project from the came company. This "internal" competition reduces the revenues and benefits from existing products or projects. It is basically a form of business cannibalization, where the left arm takes away from the right arm. E.g. newer smartphone models decrease the sales revenue from existing (older) models.

A man turns 40 today and wishes to provide supplemental lifetime retirement income of 3,000 at the beginning of each month starting on his 65th birthday. Starting today, he makes monthly contribution of X to a fund for 25 years. The fund earns a nominal rate of 8% compounded monthly. Every 9.65 of lifetime income paid at the beginning of each month starting at age 65 will cost 1,000 to purchase. Calculate x.
Answer:
324.72
Explanation:
To get an income of $1, the man needs [tex]\frac{1000}{9.65}[/tex], therefore to get an income of $3000, the man needs [tex]\frac{1000*3000}{9.65}=310880.83[/tex].
Interest (i)= 8%/12 = 0.08/12 = 0.00667
Number of periods (N) = 12 months/year × 25 years = 300
Using actuarial notation:
[tex]Xs_{300/0.006667}=310880.83\\Where:\\s_{300/0.006667}=(1+0.006667)\frac{(1+0.006667)^{300}-1}{0.00667} =957.366[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]957.366X=310880.83\\X=\frac{310880.83}{957.366} =324.72[/tex]

Calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency.
Answer:
The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219
Explanation:
In order to calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency we would have to calculate the following formula:
manufacturing cycle efficiency=value added time/throughput time
value added time= 40 min
throughput time=Process time+Inspection time+movie time+Queue time
throughput time=40+5+15+2+120
throughput time=182 min
Therefore, manufacturing cycle efficiency=40/182
manufacturing cycle efficiency=0.219
The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219

Daylight Donuts should report interest payable at December 31, 2021, in the amount of: (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
Answer:$3,760--- Interest payable at December 31, 2021.
Explanation:
Interest payable is current liability recorded on a firm's balance sheet that shows the amount of interest which a firm owes currently but has not yet paid as of the date recorded on the of the balance sheet.
For daylight donuts
September --- December = 4 months
interest payable within the four months= $188,000 X 6% X 4/12= $3,760
Daylight Donuts should report interest payable at December 31, 2021, in the amount of $3,760
11. Which ones of the four examples below is an example of value-migration? a. No one buys typewriters anymore, but they buy PCs even to type. b. HP now produces laser printers that can accept emailed inputs as well. c. Honda used its expertise in small engines to enter the lawn-mower market d. Sony lost share in the video recorder market, but gained the camcorder market.
Answer:
a. No one buys typewriters anymore, but they buy PCs even to type.
Explanation:
Value migration can be described as the change in the value-creating forces due to the migration of value from products or business models that are outmoded to business designs that able to give better satisfaction to the priorities of customers.
Therefore, the correct option is "no one buys typewriters anymore, but they buy PCs even to type" because typewriters are outmoded while PCs are the new designs.
A notice is published stating that RMO 5% convertible preferred stock will be called at $60 per share. The preferred is convertible into 1/2 share of common and is selling in the market at $56 per share. RMO common stock is selling in the market at $110 per share. After the notice appears, the price of the preferred stock will most likely trade in the market at: _________.
Answer: d. A price near $60
Explanation:
The Preferred Stock was selling at $56 then a notice was circulated that RMO would be calling the stock at a price of $60.
This $60 is more than the current $56 and so this will need to reflect in the price of the stock. The adjustment will cause the Preferred stock to start trading near $60 as traders will seek to take advantage of the impending call by buying at a lower price and thus making a bit of profit when the stock is called at $60. The market will adjust to this because the Preferred stock will be perceived as undervalued. A price closer to the Call price will therefore become the new price to properly value the stock.
Gloria Rose works at College of Austin and is paid $ 30 per hour for a 40-hour workweek and time-and-a-half for hours above 40. LOADING...(Click the icon to view payroll tax rate information.) Requirements 1. Compute Rose's gross pay for working 60 hours during the first week of February. 2. Rose is single, and her income tax withholding is 20 % of total pay. Rose's only payroll deductions are payroll taxes. Compute Rose's net (take-home) pay for the week. Assume Rose's earnings to date are less than the OASDI limit. 3. Journalize the accrual of salaries and wages expense and the payments related to the employment of Gloria Rose. Requirement 1. Compute Rose's gross pay for working 60 hours during the first week of February. Gross Pay
Answer and Explanation:
1. The gross pay is
Straight time pay
= 40 hours × $30 per hour
= $1,200
overtime pay
= 40 hours × $30 per hour × 1.5
= $1,800
So, the total gross pay is
= $1,200 + $1,800
= $3,000
2. Now the net take home pay is
Gross pay $3,000
Less: deductions
Income tax withholding (20%) -$600
Employee OASDI tax (6.2%) -$186
Employee medicare tax (1.45%) -$43.50
Net take home pay $2,170.50
3. Now the journal entries are
Wages expense $3,000
To Income tax payable $600
To Employee OASDI tax payable $186
To Employee medicare tax payable $43.50
To wages payable $2,170.50
(Being the wages expense is recorded)
We debited the expenses as it increased the expenses and credited all liabilities it increased the liabilities
Wages payable Dr $2,170.50
To cash $2,170.50
(being cash paid is recorded)
For recording this we debited the wages payable as it reduced the liabilities and credited the cash as it also reduced the current assets

An overstatement of the beginning inventory has to be deducted from the reported cost of good sold since the amount of the overstatement was added to the cost of goods sold initially.
On the other hand, an overstatement of the ending inventory has to be added to the reported cost of good sold since the amount of the overstatement was deducted to the cost of goods sold initially.
Therefor, we have:
Corrected 2020 cost of goods sold = $1,385,600 - $103,320 + $38,040 = $ 1,320,320.
b. Determine the corrected amounts for December 31, 2020, retained earnings
In this case, the amount of overstatement of the ending inventory has to be deducted from the reported retained earning since the retained earning was initially overstated by that amount.
Therefore, we have:
Corrected retained earnings = $5,415,900 - $38,040 = $5,377,860
If your risk-aversion coefficient is A = 4.4 and you believe that the entire 1926–2015 period is representative of future expected performance, what fraction of your portfolio should be allocated to T-bills and what fraction to equity? Assume your utility function is U = E(r) – 0.5 × Aσ2
Answer:
=> fraction of the portfolio that should be allocated to T-bills = 0.4482 = 44.82%.
=> fraction to equity = 0.5518 = 55.18%.
Explanation:
So, in this question or problem we are given the following parameters or data or information which are; that the utility function is U = E(r) – 0.5 × Aσ2 and the risk-aversion coefficient is A = 4.4.
The fraction of the portfolio that should be allocated to T-bills and its equivalent fraction to equity can be calculated by using the formula below;
The first step is to determine or Calculate the value of fraction to equity.
Hence, the fraction to equity = risk premium/(market standard deviation)^2 - risk aversion.
= 8.10% ÷ [(20.48%)^2 × 3.5 = 0.5518.
Therefore, the value for fraction of the portfolio that should be allocated to T-bills = 1 - fraction to equity = 1 - 0.5518 =0.4482 .
Dusan is a member of the Tonda LLC, and all members have equal interests in capital and profits. The LLC has made an optional adjustment-to-basis election. Dusan's interest is sold to Adele for $35,000. The balance sheet of the LLC immediately before the sale shows the following:
Basis FMV
Cash $40,000 $40,000
Depreciable assets 80,000 100,000
$120,000 $140,000
Dusan, capital $30,000 $35,000
Randal, capital 30,000 35,000
Thom, capital 30,000 35,000
Erin, capital 30,000 35,000
$120,000 $140,000
a. How much is the 754 adjustment?
b. What is the amount of Adele's basis in the acquired interest?
c. Which partner receives deductions related to the step-up?
Answer: a. $5000 b. $35000 c. Adele
Explanation:
The balance sheet is a report which summarizes all of an entity's assets, the liabilities, and the equity at a given point in time.
Based on the balance sheet in the question, the following can be calculated:
a. The 754 adjustment will be the difference in the sale of interest and Susan's capital balance. This will be:
= Sale of interest - Dusan's capital balance
= $35,000 - $30,000
= $5000
b. Adele's basis in the acquired interest will be the value at which she acquired the interest. This will be = $35,000
c. Adele is the partner who receives deductions related to the step-up
Pasadena Candle Inc. budgeted production of 785,000 candles for January. Each candle requires molding. Assume that six minutes are required to mold each candle. If molding labor costs $18 per hour, determine the direct labor cost budget for January. Pasadena Candle Inc. Direct Labor Cost Budget For the Month Ending January 31 Hours required for assembly: Candles min. Convert minutes to hours ÷ min. Molding hours hrs. Hourly rate × $ Total direct labor cost
Answer:
Direct labour cost budget= $1,413,000.
Explanation:
The direct labor cost budget is a function of the production product budget. The quantity of the product budgeted to be produced would determine the labor cost budget.
Direct labour budget = Production budget × standard hours × standard labour rate per hour
Standard hour = 6/60 =0.1 (note there are 60 minutes in an hour)
Direct labour budget = 785,000 × 0.1× 18 = $1,413,000.
Direct labour cost budget= $1,413,000.
Lucido Products markets two computer games: Claimjumper and Makeover. A contribution format income statement for a recent month for the two games appears below: Claimjumper Makeover Total Sales $ 116,000 $ 58,000 $ 174,000 Variable expenses 35,800 7,700 43,500 Contribution margin $ 80,200 $ 50,300 130,500 Fixed expenses 83,250 Net operating income $ 47,250 Required: 1. What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company? 2. What is the company's overall break-even point in dollar sales? 3. Prepare a contribution format income statement at the company's break-even point that shows the appropriate levels of sales for the two products.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Claimjumper Makeover
Total Sales:
Claimjumper= $116,000
Makeover= $58,000
Total= $174,000
Variable expenses:
Claimjumper= $35,800
Makeover= $7,700
Total= $43,500
Contribution margin:
Claimjumper= $80,200
Makeover= $50,300
Total= $130,500
Fixed expenses 83,250
Sales proportion:
Claimjumper= 116,000/174,000= 0.67
Makeover= 58,000/174,000= 0.33
Variable cost proportion:
Claimjumper= 35,800/43,500= 0.82
Makeover= 7,700/43,500= 0.18
First, we need to calculate the contribution margin ratio for the company:
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)/ weighted average selling price
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 130,500/174,000
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.75
Now, we can calculate the break-even point in dollars:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 83,250/0.75
Break-even point (dollars)= $111,000
Finally, we structure the income statement:
Sales= 111,000
Total variable costs= (111,000*0.25)= (27,750)
Income statement:
Sales:
Claimjumper= 111,000*0.67= 74,370
Makeover= 111,000*0.33= 36,630
Variable costs:
Claimjumper= 27,750*0.82= (22,755)
Makeover= 27,750*0.18= (4,995)
Contribution margin= 83,250
Fixed costs= 83,250
Net operating income= 0
Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $1,061 and matures in 25 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a coupon rate of 6.1 percent. The par value is $1,000. If the company's tax rate is 39 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt
Answer:
3.44%
Explanation:
For computing the after tax cost of debt we need to apply the RATE formula i.e shown in the attachment below:
Provided that,
Present value = $1,061
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 6.1% ÷ 2 = $30.5
NPER = 25 years × 2 = 50 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 2.82% × 2 = 5.64%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 5.64% × ( 1 - 0.39)
= 3.44%

MGM Resorts Incorporated is expected to grow at an exceptionally high rate over the next 2 years due to the success of Macau casino. Growth in dividends is expected to be 20% for the next 2 years before reverted back to a constant rate of 4% that is expected to continue indefinitely. If MGM Resorts’ paid a $1.20 dividend yesterday (D0=$1.20) and the stock is valued according to a required rate of return of 14%, what is the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today?
Answer:
The value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today will be $16.42
Explanation:
In order to calculate the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today we would have to calculate the following steps:
Step-1, Dividend for the next 2 years
Dividend per share in Year 0 (D0) = $1.20 per share
Dividend per share in Year 1 (D1) = $1.4400 per share [$1.20 x 120%]
Dividend per share in Year 2 (D2) = $1.7280 per share [$1.4400 x 120%]
Step-2, Share Price in Year 2
Dividend Growth Rate after Year 2 (g) = 4.00% per year
Required Rate of Return (Ke) = 14.00%
Share Price in Year 2 (P2) = D2(1 + g) / (Ke – g)
= $1.7280(1 + 0.04) / (0.14 – 0.04)
= $1.7971 / 0.10
= $17.97 per share
Step-3, The Current Stock Price
As per Dividend Discount Model, Current Stock Price the aggregate of the Present Value of the future dividend payments and the present value the share price in year 2
Year Cash flow ($) PVF at 14.00% Present Value of cash flows ($)
[Cash flows x PVF]
1 1.4400 0.877193 1.26
2 1.7280 0.769468 1.33
2 17.97 0.769468 13.83
TOTAL 16.42
Hence, the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today will be $16.42
Suppose the government is considering an increase in the toll on a certain stretch of highway from $.40 to $.50. At present, 50,000 cars per week use that highway stretch; after the toll is imposed, it is projected that only 45,000 cars per week will use the highway stretch. Assuming that the marginal cost of highway use is constant (i.e., the supply schedule is horizontal) and equal to $.40 per car, what is the change in social surplus attributable to the increase in the toll
Answer:
$250 is the change in social surplus attributable to the increase in the toll
Explanation:
Suppose the government increase in toll on a certain stretch of highways by this caused a dead-weight loss occur and then resulting full in the number of cars using the highway.
Dead-weight loss = (0.5) (0.50-0.40) (50,000-45,000)
Dead-weight loss = 0.5 * 0.10 * 5000
Dead-weight loss = $250
The increase paid by other remaining drivers (0.50-0.40)(40,000) can be viewed as transfer from drivers to the government.
You are hired by the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) as an economic consultant. The Chairperson of the CEA tells you that she believes the current unemployment rate is too high. The unemployment rate can be reduced if aggregate output increases. She wants to know what policy to pursue to increase aggregate output by $500 billion. The best estimate she has for the MPC is 0.5. Which of the following policies should you recommend? Why?
A) increase government purchases by $200 billion B) increase government purchases by $250 billion C) cut taxes by $200 billion D) cut taxes by $200 billion and to increase government purchases by $200 billion
Answer:
Council of Economic Advisors (CEA)
I would recommend this policy to increase aggregate output:
B) increase government purchases by $250 billion
Explanation:
To increase aggregate output (GDP) by $500 billion, in order to reduce the unemployment rate, government, given the best estimate for the MPC as 0.5, it would be to increase government purchases by $250 billion. The MPC is the marginal propensity to consume.
By increasing government purchases by $250 billion, the ripple effect would ginger industries to generate more output, thereby increasing the factors that affect aggregate output. These actions would then increase aggregate output by more than $500 billion. This choice is made because government spending is funded from taxes, making government unable to cut taxes.
Economists define aggregate output as "the sum of all the goods and services produced in an economy over a certain period of time." Aggregate output is an economy's total productivity or GDP (Gross Domestic Product). The factors that determine aggregate output include household wealth, consumer and business expectations, capacity utilization, monetary policy, fiscal policy, exchange rates, and foreign GDP.
The equation for calculating aggregate output, which expands the GDP by showing price level, is given as "Y = Y ad = C + I + G + NX tells us that aggregate output (or aggregate income) is equal to aggregate demand, which in turn is equal to consumer expenditure plus investment (planned, physical stuff) plus government spending plus net exports (exports – imports)."
You just agreed to a deal that will make you the proud new owner of a beautiful new convertible. The car comes with a three-year warranty. Please consider the purchase of the extended warranty which has a purchase price of $1,800, today (the day you purchased your NEW car). The extended warranty covers the 4 years immediately after the three-year warranty expires. You estimate that the yearly expenses that would have been covered by the extended warranty are $400 at the end of the first year of the extension, $500 as the end of the second year of the extension, $600 at the end of the third year of the extension, and $800 at the end of the fourth year of the extension. Assume that money during this time can earn interest at a rate of 7% compounded monthly. Will you decide to buy the warranty? Your formal solutions should include:______.1. The overall goal and/or purpose
2. The given information
3. A time-line for the expected repair costs covered by the warranty
4. The present value for each of the repair costs
5. The present value of the warranty and the expected profit for the warranty company
6. Your conclusion
Answer:
1. The overall goal and/or purpose
The overall goal of this analysis is to determine if you would actually save money by purchasing the extended warranty.
2. The given information
You can calculate this by determining the present value of the expected repair costs that will be covered by the warranty and determine which is higher; the warranty or the repairs
3. A time-line for the expected repair costs covered by the warranty
initial investment -$1,800cash flow year 4 = $400cash flow year 5 = $500cash flow year 6 = $600cash flow year 7 = $8004. The present value for each of the repair costs
the discount rate is 7%, so the present value of each repair cost is:
PV cash flow year 4 = $400 / 1.07⁴ = $305PV cash flow year 5 = $500 / 1.07⁵ = $356PV cash flow year 6 = $600 / 1.07⁶ = $400PV cash flow year 7 = $800 / 1.07⁷ = $498total $1,5595. The present value of the warranty and the expected profit for the warranty company
the present value of the warranty is $1,800, so the car company is making $1,800 - $1,559 = $241 in profits by selling you the warranty
6. Your conclusion
You shouldn't buy the extended warranty (negative NPV)
