Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The advantage of the basic earning power ratio (BEP) over the return on total assets for judging a company's operating efficiency is that the BEP does not reflect the effects of debt and taxes. b. The price/earnings (P/E) ratio tells us how much investors are willing to pay for a dollar of current earnings. In general, investors regard companies with higher P/E ratios as being more risky and/or less likely to enjoy higher future growth. c. Other things held constant, the less debt a firm uses, the lower its return on total assets will be. d. Suppose you are analyzing two firms in the same industry. Firm A has a profit margin of 10% versus a margin of 8% for Firm B. Firm A's total debt to total capital ratio is 70% versus 20% for Firm B. Based only on these two facts, you cannot reach a conclusion as to which firm is better managed, because the difference in debt, not better management, could be the cause of Firm A's higher profit margin.
Answer: The advantage of the basic earning power ratio (BEP) over the return on total assets for judging a company's operating efficiency is that the BEP does not reflect the effects of debt and taxes
Explanation:
a. This is correct.
The advantage of basic earning power ratio over the return on the total assets for judging a firm's operating efficiency is that the basic earning power does not reflect effects of debt and taxes.
b. This is incorrect.
Only the price/earnings ratio of the company will tell us nothing about a company. When we compare the price/earnings of a company with the peers, we would know whether such company is under valued, or over valued or maybe fairly valued.
c. This is incorrect.
The total assets is made up of total liabilities plus the shareholders equity, when other things are held constant, less debt simply means less liabilities. To balance both sides, the total assets should reduce as the shareholder's equity is constant. When total assets decreases, the return on the assets will increase.
d. This is incorrect.
We can reach a conclusion on which firm is better managed based on the facts given. The debt ratio is the total liabilities divided by total assets, and a lower ratio is known to be good in comparison to a higher ratio. Similarly, the profit margin is the profit divided by the sales, and low profit margin shows high expenses and also a need for the management to decrease the expense.
Cotrone Beverages makes energy drinks in three flavors: Original, Strawberry, and Orange. Company is currently operating at 75 percent of capacity. Worried about the company's performance, the company president is considering dropping the Strawberry flavor. If Strawberry is dropped, the revenue associated with it would be lost and the related variable costs saved. In addition, the company’s total fixed costs would be reduced by 20 percent.
Segmented income statements appear as follows:
Product Original Strawberry Orange
Sales $65,200 $85,600 $102,400
Variable costs 44,000 77,200 80,200
Contribution margin $21,200 $8,400 $22,200
Fixed costs allocated to each product line 9,400 12,000 14,200
Operating profit (loss) $11,800 $(3,600) $8,000
Required:
a. Prepare a differential cost schedule.
b. Should Cotrone drop the Strawberry product line?
Answer:
Yes Strawberry line should be dropped as it reduces the overall profit by$ 3600 when the fixed costs are not 20 %
Yes Strawberry line should be dropped as it reduces the overall profit by$ 1720 even when the fixed costs are 20 %

Tangarine Company is considering a project with an internal rate of return of 12%. Tangarine requires a minimum rate of return of 10%. The net present value of the project is: a.equal to zero. b.infinite. c.negative. d.positive. e.None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
The correct option is D
Positive NPV
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflow to the present value of cash inflows.
It is the maximum cost of capital that can be used to discount a project without causing harm to the investors. In other words, it is the cost of capital that produces an NPV of Zero.
It therefore means that any cost of capital that is less than the IRR would produce a positive NPV and vice and versa.
and vice versa
Finally, if the IRR is 12% a cost of capital of 10% would produce a positive NPV

You recently received a letter from Cut-to-the-Chase National Bank that offers you a new credit card that has no annual fee. It states that the annual percentage rate (APR) is 16 percent on outstanding balances. What is the effective annual interest rate?
Answer:
Effect Annual rate of return =17.22%
Explanation:
The Effective annual rate of return is the equivalent rate earned where compounding is done frequently at period or interval less than a year.
EAR = (1+r/m)^n× m - 1
EAR - Equivalent annual rate of return, r- annul rate of return, n-number of years
r= 16/12 =1.333%, n= 1 m= 12 (note there are 12 months in a year)
EAR = (1+0.16/12)^(1×12) - 1
EAR = 1.0133^12 - 1 = 0.1722
EAR 0.1722 × 100 = 17.22%
Effect Annual rate of return =17.22%
A shoe manufacturer is producing at a point where its marginal costs are $5 and its fixed costs are $5000. At the current price of $10 it is producing 500 pairs. If the demand goes down, such that they can now only charge $8 per pair, should they continue production in the short run?
Answer:
In a short time, as long as the product line can be sold with a positive contribution margin, the company should continue selling it.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
UNitary variable cost= $5
Fixed costs are $5000.
Sales= 500 units
Selling price= $8
First, we need to calculate the current income:
Income= 500*(8-5) - 5000= -$3,500
In a short time, as long as the product line can be sold with a positive contribution margin, the company should continue selling it. Demand can increase and income could become positive.

At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 23,000 units in inventory, 40% complete as to materials, and 20% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 86,000 units and transferred 88,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 21,000 units in inventory, 80% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. How many units did the Forming Department start and complete in the current month
Answer:
Units stated and completed during the month= 65,000
Explanation:
The units stated and completed in the current period is referred to as the fully worked.
Using the first in first out (FIFO) approach, the fully worked is calculated as
Fully worked = newly introduced -closing inventory
= 86,000- 21,000 = 65000
Note that out of the 86,000 that were completed in the period, it assumed that 23,000 representing the opening inventory would first be completed and the balance would from the newly introduced.
Another way to determine the fully worked is as follows
Fully worked = transferred out - opening inventory
Fully worked = 88,000- 23,000 = 65,000
Units stated and completed during the month= 65,000
Suppose initially, vertical portion of the supply curve intersects the demand curve on its downward portion. Graphically show the case where an increase in the interest rate paid on reserves does NOT lead to a change in the equilibrium fed funds rate.
Answer:
Kindly Check Explanation section
Explanation:
NB: Since, we are to show graphically and there is need to draw, kindly check the attached file for the graph that shows the case where an increase in the interest rate paid on reserves does NOT lead to a change in the equilibrium fed funds rate.
The concept of RESERVE is very important in accounting. The amount of money that is saved up from the normal profit of a business organization or company or a country which is being used for further efficient Production In the long run is known as RESERVE.
For a country, it is the central bank in such country that pays the interest with regards to reserves that are in excess.
It must be noted that as the rate of supply increases , the rate of at which the value of price is also reduces. Hence, when there is an increase in the interest rate paid on reserves the whole demand does not shoot up.
NB: The initial equilibrium is at E( the point at which D(A) and P(A) meets and an increase causes it to meet at the point D(B) and P(B).
Trademark dilution laws: Select one: a. protect "distinctive" or "famous" marks from unauthorized uses even when confusion is not likely to occur. b. are intended at protecting consumers rather than focusing on protecting the investment of trademark owners. c. permit a company to quickly penetrate a foreign market without incurring the substantial financial and legal risks associated with direct investment. d. require the licensee to transfer any inventions it derives from the licensed technology to the licensor.
Answer:
a. protect "distinctive" or "famous" marks from unauthorized uses even when confusion is not likely to occur.
Explanation:
Trademark dilution laws are rules and regulations that seek to protect the trademarks of well known brands from unauthorized use by other brands, in such a way that the distinctive attribute of the trademark is minimized. Trademark dilution laws are meant to ensure that the main purpose for which a product's trademark is known is meant to stand out significantly in the mind of consumers.
Smaller companies might want to copy the trademark of famous brands for their products which might be different. These laws seek to prevent this act even if it may not cause confusion in the minds of consumers as to which brand owns a product.

The Caraway Seed Company grows heirloom tomatoes and sells their seeds. The heirloom tomato plants are preferred by many growers for their superior flavor. At the end of the most recent year the firm had current assets of $49,700, net fixed assets of $248,300, current liabilities of $28,400, and long-term debt of $101,600.
A. Calculate Caraway's stockholders' equity.B. What is the firm's net working capital?
Answer:
A.
$168,000
B.
$21,300
Explanation:
A.
As per accounting equation
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Equity = Assets - Liabilities
Placing values in the equation
Equity = ( Current assets + Net Fixed Assets ) - ( Current Liabilities + Long term debt )
Equity = ( $49,700 + 248,300 ) - ( 28,400 + 101,600)
Equity = $168,000
B.
Net Working capital is the net of current assets and current liabilities of the company.
Use following formula of net working capital
Net working capital = Current assets - current liabilities
Net working capital = $49,700 - 28,400
Net working capital = $21,300

When landlords wrongfully withhold security deposits, they can often be sued for three times the amount of the security deposit. Is this reasonable? Should a landlord have to pay $3000 for a $1000 debt? What if you fail to pay a rent on time? Should you have to pay three times the amount of your normal rent? If your answers to these two questions are different, why is that?
Answer:
yes it is reasonable
Explanation:
subsection 12 of chapter 4 of the articles of lease-rental agreement states that if a landlord wrongfully withhold security deposits the landlord must pay 3x the amount due to all legal actions and no we don't have to pay 3x rent if we miss a payment we only have to pay the late fee and any other listed fees listed on your lease

Aston, a tenant in Jackie's apartment, had repeatedly complained about the leaky faucets in the apartment. However, Jackie was not interested in doing anything about it. Under the landlord and tenant law, what remedies did Aston have?
a. To terminate the lease, then seek damages or rent adjustment.
b. To seek constructive eviction.
c. To obtain a court order for quiet enjoyment.
d. To obtain the doctrine of caveat emptor under the common law.
e. None, because she was on a periodical tenancy.
Answer:
a. To terminate the lease, then seek damages or rent adjustment.
Explanation:
when a landlord breaches his/her duties, the tenant has three available remedies:
terminationdamages rent adjustmentGenerally when things like this happen, the tenant will terminate the contract and in order to do so must leave the premises and notify the landlord that he/she is doing so and the reasons why. Then the tenant can seek compensation for damages caused by the landlord's breach of duties. Damages are generally limited to relocation costs, e.g. costs of finding a new apartment and moving there.
If Aston decided to stay at the apartment, he could seek to fix the plumbing issues and seek compensation from the landlord.
Out of the possible options, option a is correct.
In the short-run aggregate demand and supply model, one important difference between monetary and fiscal policy is that monetary policy:_______.
a. influences aggregate supply but fiscal policy influences aggregate demand.
b. has shorter lags than fiscal policy, so monetary policy may impact the economy more quickly than fiscal policy.
c. influences aggregate demand but fiscal policy influences aggregate supply.
d. has longer lags than fiscal policy, so fiscal policy may impact the economy more quickly than monetary policy.
Answer:
a. influences aggregate supply but fiscal policy influences aggregate demand.
Explanation:
Remember, when the term monetary policy is used it refers to policies that are focused on the interest rates as well as the inflation rate, which certainly affects the money supply specifically. However, the fiscal policy is usually channelled towards aggregate demand of the economy.
Thus, it is right to say that one important difference between monetary and fiscal policy is that monetary policy affects aggregate supply but fiscal policy influences aggregate demand.
Kevin owns a retail store, and during the current year, he purchased $610,000 worth of inventory. Kevin's beginning inventory was $67,000, and his ending inventory is $77,200. During the year, Kevin withdrew $1,780 in inventory for his personal use. Calculate Kevin's cost of goods sold for the year.?
Answer:
COGS= $598,020
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Kevin owns a retail store, and during the current year, he purchased $610,000 worth of inventory. Kevin's beginning inventory was $67,000, and his ending inventory is $77,200. During the year, Kevin withdrew $1,780 in inventory for his personal use.
We need to deduct the inventory used for personal use.
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory
COGS= 67,000 + 610,000 - 77,200 - 1,780
COGS= $598,020

IN THE NEWS Treasury Prices Fall with Improved Expectations Expectations of accelerated economic growth continue to boost yields on Treasury securities. The price of the Treasury's 2.0 percent 10-year bond fell $17.43 yesterday, from $843.88 to $826.45. The decline in the price of the treasury pushed the yield up from 2.37 percent to 2.42 percent. The 30-year bond also declined, increasing the yield from 2.96 to 3.00. Source: Market reports of January 6, 2017, What would the yield be on the 2.0 percent, $1,000, 10-year Treasury bond if the market price of the bonds were Instructions: Round your responses to two decimal places.
a. $1,000?
b. $800?
c. $1,200?
Answer:
2%
2.5%
1.67%
Explanation:
The yield can be computed using the yield formula which coupon payment divided by price.
The coupon payment=face value*coupon rate
face value is $1000
coupon rate is 2%
coupon payment=2%*$1000=$20
when price is $1000:
yield =$20/$1000=2%
when price is $800
yield=$20/$800=2.5%
when price is $1,200
yield =$20/$1,200=1.67%
In essence ,the lower the price the higher the yield as lower amount is invested in order to receive the same amount of annual coupon of $20
Which of the following is an example of peakminusload pricing? A. charging less for vacations to Hawaii during December and January B. setting price equal to marginal cost when there is a capacity constraint C. selling excess capacity at lower prices D. charging more for electricity on hot days
Answer:
D. charging more for electricity on hot days.
Explanation:
This is a strategy that helps service providers in billing their customers when their in traffic on the usage of a particular service. This is charging higher of a certain service when their are a lot of users trying to be benefit or trying to use it at the same time. This can easily be seen in the case of utility usage amongst countries where this forms of billings are performed. That is why in the scenario above, the charging more for electricity on a hot day falls in place as the perfect option of peakminus loading price.
Answer:
D. charging more for electricity on hot days
Explanation:
Peak load pricing is charging more for a good or service when the demand for the good is higher.
During the hot weather, people would want to use fans and air conditioners, thus, the demand for electricity would be higher as people would need electricity to power these items. So increasing the price in the hurt weather is an example of peak load pricing.
