Answer:
14.29%
Explanation:
Calculation for the price-weighted index return
Price-weighted index return = [($25 + $12 + $35)/3] - [($20 + $15 + $28)/3]/[($20 + $15+ $28)/3]
Price-weighted index return =[($72/3)-($63/3)]/($63/3)
Price-weighted index return =($24-$21)/$21
Price-weighted index return =$3/$21
Price-weighted index return =0.1429*100
Price-weighted index return =14.29%
Therefore the Price-weighted index return will be 14.29%
Derek plans to retire on his 65th birthday. However, he plans to work part-time until he turns 70.00. During these years of part-time work, he will neither make deposits to nor take withdrawals from his retirement account. Exactly one year after the day he turns 70.0 when he fully retires, he will begin to make annual withdrawals of $195,078.00 from his retirement account until he turns 94.00. After this final withdrawal, he wants $1.37 million remaining in his account. He he will make contributions to his retirement account from his 26th birthday to his 65th birthday. To reach his goal, what must the contributions be
Answer:
X = $25,717.13 is the contribution amount that Derek has to plan.
Explanation:
Solution:
Assumption = Interest rate = 4%
Amount required at the age of 70 = value of all withdrawals
So, he will be making withdrawals until 94 years of age.
94 - 70 = 24
Annual Withdrawals = $195,078.00
Interest Rate = 4%
Period = 24 years.
Putting these values into the PVAF function, you will get:
PVAF(4%,24 years) = 15.24
So,
Amount required at the age of 70 = $195,078 x 15.24
Amount required at the age of 70 = 2972988.72
And now, we need to find the amount needed at the age of 65.
Amount required at the age of 65 = Present Value at the age of 65
Amount required at the age of 65 = 2972988.72 x PVF (4%,5 years)
PVF (4%,5 years) = 0.822
Amount required at the age of 65 = 2972988.72 x 0.822
Amount required at the age of 65 = $2443796.72
Let suppose, annual contribution = x
X*[{(1+0.04)40-1]}/0.04] = $2443796.72
95.026X = $2443796.72
X = $25,717.13 is the contribution amount that Derek has to plan.
You are the owner of a winter sporting goods store and recently purchased a shipment of 60 sets of snowboards and snowboard bindings at a total cost of $29,000. (You were unable to purchase separately, and the smallest order was for a set of 60.) The community in which your store is located consists of many different types of snowboarders, ranging from expert to beginners. From historical data, you know that different snowboarders value snowboards and bindings differently. However, you cannot profitably price discriminate because you cannot prevent resale (arbitrage). Market research shows there are about 20 advanced snowboarders who value snowboards at $350 and bindings at $250, 20 intermediate snowboards who value snowboards at $250 and bindings at $275, and 20 beginning snowboarders who value snowboards at $175 and bindings at $325. Compare the profits earned under the following two pricing strategies: Selling snowboards and bindings separately at the profit-maximizing prices Bundling snowboards and bindings and selling for one price
Answer:
Profits Comparison:
Sold Separately Bundled
Revenue $32,500 $30,000
Costs 29,000 29,000
Profits $3,500 $1,000
The calculations show that it is far better to sell the snowboards and bindings separately at the profit-maximizing prices than bundling them and selling for one price.
This is because, if the single price is more than $500, the beginners might not buy the items and they will remain unsold.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations
Cost of purchase of 60 sets of snowboards and snowboard bindings = $29,000
Unit cost of a set of snowboard and binding = $483.33 ($29,000/60)

A company purchased $10,000 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 3/10, n/45, and FOB shipping point. The freight charge, $500, was added to the invoice amount. On June 20, it returned $800 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it is entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals:
Answer:
the cash paid as on June 24 is $9,424
Explanation:
The computation of the cash paid as on June 24 is as follows:
= Merchandise cost + Freight charge - Purchase returns - Discount Eligible at 3%
= $10,000 + $500 - $800 - [($10,000 - $800) × 0.03]
= $10,000 + $500 - $800 - $276
= $9,424
Hence, the cash paid as on June 24 is $9,424
Smith Company exchanges assets to acquire a building. The market price of the Smith stock on the exchange date was $35 per share and the building's book value on the books of the seller was $250,000. Which of the following journal entries is correct for Smith Company when Smith issues 10,000 shares of $10 par value common stock and pays $20,000 cash in exchange for the building?
A) The common stock account increases by $100,000.
B) The building account increases by $370,000.
C) Stockholders' equity increases $350,000.
D) The additional paid-in capital account increases by $100,000.
Answer:
B) The building account increases by $370,000.
Explanation:
Since the per share value is $35
Also the 10,000 shares are issued at $10 and pays $20,000 in exchange of building
So the building account would be increased by
= 10,000 shares × $35 + $20,000
= $350,000 + $20,000
= $370,000
hence, the correct option is B.

Milton Friedman argued that: appropriate antitrust policy can prevent businesses from causing inflation. inflation is a phenomenon of capitalist economies. prices need to be regulated and set by the government to prevent inflation. general price level increases result from the government printing too much money.
Answer:
Prices need to be regulated and set by the government to prevent inflation.
Explanation:
Milton Friedman was a monetarist. Monetarists believe in the quantity theory of money which states that inflation is a direct result of the growth of the amount of money in an economy. One of the most famous quotes by Friedman is "Inflation is always, and everywhere, a monetary phenomenon".
Under this reasoning, Friedman proposed that the government should control the money supply in order to address and maintain a stable price level, in other words, low inflation.
Friedman policies were implemented in the U.S. since the late 1970s, and emulated in most other countries in the world. Ever since, the monetary policy of most countries in the world has been aimed at controlling inflation and keeping it low.
Suppose the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is -0.8 and that the government can essentially set the price of cigarettes by altering the tax rate. If the government wishes to reduce the quantity of cigarettes demanded by 15 percent, how much must it raise the price of cigarettes? The government, to achieve its goal, must raise the price of cigarettes by nothing percent. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer: 18.75%
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand shows the change in quantity demanded as a result of a change in price.
If the price elasticity is negative, it means that quantity demanded and price move in opposing directions. If prices increase, quantity demanded decreases and vice versa.
Price elasticity of demand = Change in quantity demanded / Change in price
-0.8 = - 15% / x
-0.8x = -15%
x = -15% / -0.8
= 18.75%
acquired: Firm A has a margin of 11%, sales of $610,000, and ROI of 17%. Calculate the firm's average total assets. Firm B has net income of $72,000, turnover of 1.40, and average total assets of $920,000. Calculate the firm's sales, margin, and ROI. Firm C has net income of $136,000, turnover of 2.01, and ROI of 23.40%. Calculate the firm's margin, sales, and average total assets.
Answer:
1. Firm's average total assets = Net Income/ROI = $610,000*0.11 / 0.17 = $394,705.88
2. Sales = Assets turnover ratio * Average total assets = 1.40*920,000 = $1,288,000
Margin = Net Income / Sales = $72,000/$1,288,000 = 0.06
ROI = Net Income / Average Total Assets = $72,000/920,000 = 0.078
3. Average Total Assets = Net Income / ROI = $136,000/23.40% = 136,000/0.2340 = $581,196.58
Sales = Assets turnover ratio * Average total assets= 2.01*$581,196.58 = $1,168,205.12
Margin = Net Income / Sales = $136,000/$1,168,205.12 = 0.1164

Your farm encompasses 900 acres, and you are planning to grow soybeans, corn, and wheat in the coming planting season. Fertilizer costs per acre are: $5 for soybeans, $2 for corn, and $1 for wheat. You estimate that each acre of soybeans will require an average of 5 hours of labor per week, while tending to corn and wheat will each require an average of 2 hours per week. Based on past yields and current market prices, you estimate a profit of $9,000 for each acre of soybeans, $6,000 for each acre of corn, and $3,000 for each acre of wheat. You can afford to spend no more than $5,400 on fertilizer, and your farm laborers can supply 5,400 hours per week. How many acres of each crop should you plant to maximize total profits
Answer:
Using solver, the optimal solution = 900 acres of soybean resulting in $8,100,000 profit
Explanation:
you need to maximize 9000S + 6000C + 3000W
where:
S = acres of soybean
C = acres of corn
W = acres of wheat
constraints:
S + C + W ≤ 900
5S + 2C + 1W ≤ 5400
5S + 2C + 2W ≤ 5400
S, C, W ≥ 0
S, C, W are whole numbers
Using solver, the optimal solution = 900 acres of soybean resulting in $8,100,000 profit
A supply curve is upward-sloping because At higher prices sellers have a greater incentive to produce more, ceteris paribus. The law of supply states that as price rises, the quantity supplied increases. At lower prices sellers may not be covering their costs of production and are therefore willing to supply less. All of the answers are correct.
Answer:
All of the answers are correct.
Explanation:
The law of supply states that in a production process when the price of. Commodity increases the suppliers are more willing to supply more goods, while when price falls suppliers tend to supply less goods.
This is as a result of lower motivation to sell at a lower price where profit margins are low. The higher the price the more the profit made so they are more motivated.
Also when prices are too low the suppliers may barely cover their cost of production so they tend to supply less.
Attached is a diagram of the supply curve

The year-end financial statements of Calloway Company contained the following elements and corresponding amounts: Assets = $32,000, Liabilities = ?
Common Stock = $6,200:
Revenue = $13,400,
Dividends = $1,350,
Beginning Retained Earnings = $4,350
Ending Retained Earnings - $8,200
The amount of liabilities reported on the end-of-period balance sheet was:_________
a) $10.550
b) $17.600
c) $21.450
d) $12.550
Answer:
b) $17.600
Explanation:
The computation of the liabilities is shown below:
As we know that
Total assets = Total liabilities + total equity
$32,000 = Total liabilities + $8,200 + $6,200
So, the total liabilities is
= $32,000 - $8,200 - $6,200
= $17,600
hence, the option b is correct

The Retained earnings account has a credit balance of $39,000 before closing entries are made. Total revenues for the period are $57,200, total expenses are $40,800, and dividends are $9800. What is the correct closing entry for the expense accounts?
Answer:
Debit income summary $40,800
Credit expense accounts $40,800
Explanation:
The correct closing entry for expense account would be to debit the income summary for $40,800 and then credit the expense accounts for $40,800.
Here, other items such as revenue, retained earnings and dividends would all be ignored because we were specifically asked to get the correct closing entry for expense account, hence; only expense value would be considered.
Beachballs, Inc., expects abnormally high earnings for the next three years due to the forecast of unusually hot summers. After the 3-year period, their growth will level off to its normal rate of 6%. Dividends and earnings are expected to grow at 20% for years 1 and 2 and 15% in year 3. The last dividend paid was $1.00. If an investor requires a 10% return on Beachballs, the price she is willing to pay for the stock is closest to:
Answer: $36.50
Explanation:
The price she will be willing to be paid according to the Dividend Discount model is calculated by finding the present value of the future dividends and the terminal value.
Dividend year 1 = 1 * (1 + 20%) = $1.20
Dividend year 2 = 1.20 * (1 + 20%) = $1.44
Dividend year 3 = 1.44 * (1 + 15%) = $1.656
Terminal value = Dividend in year 4 / (required return - growth rate)
= (1.656 * (1 + 6%)) / ( 10% - 6%)
= $43.884
[tex]Price = \frac{1.2}{(1 + 0.10)} + \frac{1.44}{(1 + 0.10)^{2} } + \frac{1.656}{(1 + 0.10)^{3} } + \frac{43.884}{(1 + 0.10)^{3} }\\\\= 36.4959\\\\= 36.50[/tex]
= $36.50
East Bay Semiconductor, Inc., currently a small private company, plans to go public via an initial public offering (IPO) and will issue 10 million shares of stock. It is hoping to sell the shares for an offer price of $25. It hires an investment bank, which suggests that the offer price for the stock should be $20 per share to ensure that all the shares can be easily sold. 5. What is the advantage of following the advice of the investment bankers? What is the disadvantage? Is the investment bank’s incentive to sell the shares aligned with the incentives of East Bay Semi? What trade-off does East Bay Semi face in this decision regarding the issue price? Briefly explain
Answer:
What is the advantage of following the advice of the investment bankers? What is the disadvantage?
Whenever a small company decides to carry out an IPO, the risk of not selling all the stocks exists and it has happened many times before. East Bay's executives probably believe that their company is the next Apple or Microsoft, or any other super huge high tech corporation. But the reality is that it is not. If the IPO goes on and not all the stocks are sold, the stock price will plummet by the end of the trading day.
On the other hand, maybe East Bay in a couple of years will be worth more than Tesla, Amazon or any other top corporation, and pricing their stocks too low will only result in losing money.

The amount of money withheld from an employee's paycheck is...
A.Payroll deductions
B.Levied taxes
C.FICA
D.Gross earnings
Answer:
A.Payroll deductions
Explanation:
Withholding is the action by employers to retain a portion of an employee's salary for a specific function. Money withheld does not get to the employee bank's account. The amount withheld is shown in the pay stub, but the employee will not access it.
Employers collect the amounts withheld and remit them to the concerned agency. Deductions are usually a percentage of the employee's gross pay.

Manufacturing overhead for the month was overapplied by $3,600. The Corporation allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the manufacturing overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The work in process inventory at the end of March after allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is closest to: (Round intermediate percentage computations to the nearest whole percent.)
Answer: $19,648
Explanation:
This question is missing details that I could not find so I will answer with a similar question. You can use it to answer yours.
Work in process inventory at the end of March= Work in Process - Overapplied Manufacturing overhead overhead allocated to WIP
Percentage of overhead that went towards WIP:
= Manufacturing overhead applied to WIP/ Total overhead
= 5,830 / 51,920
= 11% (nearest whole percent)
Overapplied Overhead going allocated to WIP:
= Percentage of overhead to WIP * Overapplied overhead for the month
= 11% * $4,200
= $462
Work in process inventory at end of March = 20,110 - 462
= $19,648

A company issues a callable (at par) five-year, 7% coupon bond with annual coupon payments. The bond can be called at par in one year after release or any time after that on a coupon payment date. On release, it has a price of $110 per $100 of face value. What is the yield to worst of this bond in percentage when it is released
Answer:
the worse case scenario is that the bond yields -2.73%
Explanation:
the worst case scenario is that the bonds are called one year after they are issued.
you invest $110 today
in one year, you will receive $100 + $7 = $107
your holding period return = ($107 - $110) / $110 = -0.02727 ≈ -2.73%
generally callable bonds are sold at lower prices than regular bonds, so a situation like this is very unlikely since the issue price should probably be lower.
Refer to the portions of the 2018 and 2019 balance sheets provided below. Calculate the change in net working capital during the year 2019. 2018 2019 2018 2019 Cash $360 $710 Notes Payable $510 $550 Accts. Receivable $1,190 $1,070 Accounts Payable $720 $830 Inventory $840 $930 Long Term Debt $1,180 $1,090
Answer:
$1,330
Explanation:
Change in net working capital during the year 2019 is computed as
= Current assets - Current liabilities
Current assets 2019 = Cash $710 + Accounts receivables $1,070 + Inventory $930
Current assets = $2,710
Current liabilities 2019 = Notes payable $550 + Accounts payable $830
Current liabilities = $1,380
Therefore,
Change in net working capital during the year 2019
= $2,710 - $1,330
= $1,330
