The agency appoints a selling group that sells new issues of agency securities.This selling group is usually made of large banks and broker-dealers. They sell the issue at par to the public. From what was made from the sale, the agency then pays the selling group a selling concession. In contrast, direct U.S. Government obligations are sold through auction
A decade ago the government of Weinsland decided to liberalize the country's economy. As a result, today the country is experiencing rapid economic advancement and societal changes favorable to international business. Which change is most likely to occur next in Weinsland?
A. As the country gets richer, there will be a shift in the society from "traditional" to "secular rational" values.
B. As the country gets richer, there will be a shift in the society from "well-being" to "survival" values.
C. The country, to further facilitate globalization, will commit to authoritarian ideologies.
D. The people in the country will give more importance to collectivism than to individualism.
E. The country will exhibit more need for social and material support structures built on collectives.
Answer:
As the country gets richer, there will be a shift in the society from "traditional" to "secular rational" values
Explanation:
In this scenario Weinsland decided to liberalize the country's economy. This will reduce government regulation on the economy and increase participation of private entities.
Liberalisation encourages economic growth.
Traditional conservative values are passed from generation to generation, and change only a little over time.
Secular rational values on the other hand embrace an ever changing economic environment where innovation constantly changes acceptable ways of doing things
Allyson Gomez invests $8,000 today in an investment that earns 6 percent per year (compounded annually) for 25 years. The average inflation rate is expected to be 1.8 percent per year. She will have much more than $8,000 in 25 years BUT what would this future amount be if expressed in today’s dollars? a. $34,335 b. $21,981 c. $52,306 d. $12,496 e. $21,839
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The first thing to do here is to calculate what the amount of money invested would be in 25 years given the interest rate.
Mathematically, that can be written as;
V = P(1 + r)^n
Where V is the future value
P is the present value which is $8,000
r is interest rate which is 6% (6/100 = 0.06)
n is the number of years which is 25 years
Now plugging these values into the equation, we have
V = 8,000(1 + 0.06)^25
V = 8,000(1.06)^25
V = $34,334.97 which is approximately $34,335
We can now proceed to get what this future value would be today if we take the inflation rate into consideration
Mathematically, this can work as follows
P = V(1 + i)^n
Where P is the present value of the money when the inflation is taken into consideration
V is the future value of the money which was calculated from above as $34,335
i is the inflation rate which is 1.8% per annum = (1.8/100 = 0.018)
n is the number of years which is 25
Substituting these values, we have;
P = 34,335/(1 + 0.018)^25
P = 34,335/(1.018)^25
P = 21,980.75
Which is approximately P = $21,981

Which of the following is false?
a) Mail surveys are cheap but have low response rates.
b) Coverage error is when respondents give untruthful answers.
c) Focus groups are nonrandom but can probe issues more deeply.
d) Surveys posted on popular websites suffer from selection bias.
Answer:
b) Coverage error is when respondents give untruthful answers
Explanation:
Coverage error occurs when the target population isn't the population actually sampled.
Coverage error could be undercoverage or over coverage.
undercoverage is when the sampling population doesn't include all of the target population.
Over coverage is when some of the target population is over represented in the sample population.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
b) Coverage error is when respondents give untruthful answers.
Explanation:
Coverage error is a form of bias in experiments, where the selected sample does not match with the population for whom the experiment is actually meant for. This problem could arise as a result of undercoverage or overcoverage of samples.
Undercoverage is a situation wherein the members of the earmarked population are not included in the sample. Overcoverage occurs when samples that are not from the intended population, are included in error or even included more than once.
If Katerina were delivering an expository speech about strip mining, she would be presenting _______________________. a. an informative process speech b. an exposition of a theory, principle, or law c. an exposition of political, economic, social, religious, or ethical issues d. an exposition of historical events and forces
Answer:
a. an informative process speech
Explanation:
An expository speech is one that explains the processes involved in doing an activity. It is meant to inform the audience on processes involved in executing a task.
In this scenario strip mining is the process of removing the top layer of soil in order to gain access to a mineral. This process is opposed to digging of deep holes to access minerals. The method is commonly used in coal reserves.
An expository speech by Katerina on strip mining will be an informative process speech on this process of mining minerals
Victor Rumsfeld Inc.'s dividend policy is under review by its board. Its projected capital budget is $2,000,000, its target capital structure is 60% debt and 40% equity, and its forecasted net income is $300,000. If the company follows a residual dividend policy, what total dividends, if any, will it pay out? Select the correct answer.
Answer:
The multiple choices are
a. $240,000
b. $228,000
c. $216,600
d.$205,770
e. $0
The correct option is E,$0
Explanation:
The funding required from equity is 40% of the projected capital budget of $2000,000 which is expected to be from the profit attributable to stockholders since new issue of shares is not contemplated.
In other words, dividends payable to shareholders is the net income less their counter funding of the project which is computed below:
residual dividends=net income-(equity%*capital outlay)
residual dividends=$300,000-(40%*$2000,000)
=$300,000-$800,000=$0
In essence the $300,000 is not even enough as funds expected from equity less alone paying excess as dividend
Assume that the economy has three types of people. 20% are fad followers, 75% are passive investors, and 5% are informed traders. The portfolio consisting of all informed traders has a beta of 1.4 and an expected return of 16%. The market has an expected return of 10% and the risk-free rate is 4%. The alpha for the informed investors is closest to:
Answer:
3.6%
Explanation:
The computation of the alpha for the informed investors is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of k = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk free rate of return) + Alpha
16% = 4% + 1.4 × (10% - 4%) + Alpha
16% = 4% + 8.4% + Alpha
16% = 12.4% + Alpha
So,
Alpha = 3.6%
We simply applied the above formula to determine the alpha
The rate of return is a metric for determining whether an investment has made a profit or loss money over time.
Given Information:-
Beta=1.4Expected return=16%expected return=10%Risk-free rate=4%
The computation of the alpha for the informed investors is shown below:
Expected rate of k = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk free rate of return) + Alpha
16% = 4% + 1.4 × (10% - 4%) + Alpha
16% = 4% + 8.4% + Alpha
16% = 12.4% + Alpha
Alpha = 3.6%

Rebecca Reyher wrote (and copyrighted) a children’s book entitled My Mother Is the Most Beautiful Woman in the World. The story was based on a Russian folktale told to her by her own mother. Years later, the children’s TV show Sesame Street televised a skit entitled "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World." The Sesame Street version took place in a different locale and had fewer frills, but the sequence of events in both stories was identical. Has Sesame Street infringed Reyher’s copyright?
Answer:
The correct answer is: Initially, yes it did violated the law. But it depends.
Explanation:
To begin with, we need to understand that when it comes to the law of copyright the consequences of violating it depends on the particulary situation that the parties shared. Therefore that initially, Sesame Street would have violated the copyright law if they did not establish a contract that can allow them to use that story. However again, if in a first place the Reyher violated the law then Sesame Street will be out of charges becuase the first violation was caused by the writter and in other case it could also be seen as therewas no violation due to the fact that is a russian folktale and those stories have no copyright.

Rough Stuff makes 2 products: khaki shorts and khaki pants for men. Each product passes through the cutting machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Khaki shorts take 15 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of shorts of $16. Khaki pants take 24 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of pants of $32. If it is assumed that Rough Stuff has 4,800 hours available on the cutting machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 3,000 units, how much will profits increase if 100 more hours of machine time can be obtained?
Answer:
$8,000
Explanation:
khaki shorts khaki pants
machine minutes per unit 15 24
contribution margin per unit $16 $32
CM per machine minute $1.067 $1.33
minimum demand 3,000 3,000
machine minutes required 45,000 72,000
total machine minutes available 288,000
total machine minutes remaining 171,000
production 0 7,125
total production 3,000 10,125
total contribution margin $48,000 $324,000
if 100 more machines hours are added, then production time increases by 6,000 minutes which can be used to produce 250 more khaki pants. Contribution margin will increase by 250 x $32 = $8,000
I calculated contribution margin per minute, but you could also calculate contribution margin per hour to determine which product is more profitable. Contribution margin per hour for shorts = $64, and for pants = $80. The answer will not change.
Chang Industries has 1,200 defective units of product that have already cost $13.20 each to produce. A salvage company will purchase the defective units as they are for $4.20 each. Chang's production manager reports that the defects can be corrected for $6.80 per unit, enabling them to be sold at their regular market price of $19.40. The incremental income or loss on reworking the units is: Multiple Choice $18,240 income. $10,080 loss. $8,160 loss. $15,120 income. $10,080 income.
Answer:
$10,080 income
Explanation:
The computation of incremental income or loss on reworking the units is shown below:-
Incremental income on reworking unit = Sales after reworking - Sales to salvage company - Incremental cost
= (1,200 × $19.40) - (1,200 × $4.20) - (1,200 × $6.80)
= $23,280 - $5,040 - $8,160
= $10,080 income
Therefore for computing the Incremental income on reworking unit we simply applied the above formula.
Asset management ratios are used to measure how effectively a firm manages its assets, by relating the amount a firm has invested in a particular type of asset (or group of assets) to the amount of revenues the asset is generating. Examples of asset management ratios include the average collection period (also called the days sales outstanding ratio), the inventory turnover ratio, the fixed asset turnover ratio, and the total asset turnover ratio.
Consider the following case:
Walker Telecommunications has a quick ratio of 2.00x, $35,550 in cash, $19,750 in accounts receivable, some inventory, total current assets of $79,000, and total current liabilities of $27,650. The company reported annual sales of $200,000 in the most recent annual report.
Over the past year, how often did Walker Telecommunications sell and replace its inventory?
a. 8.01 x
b. 5.24 x
c. 2.85 x
d. 4.75x
Answer:
Option A 8.01x is the closest answer
Explanation:
Quick ratio =current assets-inventory/current liabilities
let x represent the value of inventory
quick ratio is 2.00
current assets is $79,000
current liabilities is $27,650
2.00=$79,000-x/$27650
2.00*$27,650=$79,000-x
$55,300=$79,000-x
x=$79,000-$55,300
x= $23,700.00
Inventory turnover =sales/inventory
sales is $200,000
Inventory value is $23,700
inventory turnover ratio=$200,000/$23,700=8.44

Required information The Foundational 15 [LO5-1, LO5-3, LO5-4, LO5-5, LO5-6, LO5-7, LO5-8] [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Oslo Company prepared the following contribution format income statement based on a sales volume of 1,000 units (the relevant range of production is 500 units to 1,500 units): Sales $ 20,000 Variable expenses 12,000 Contribution margin 8,000 Fixed expenses 6,000 Net operating income $ 2,000 Foundational 5-11 11. What is the margin of safety in dollars
Answer:
$5,000
Explanation:
Sales $20,000
Variable expenses $12,000
Contribution margin $8,000
Fixed expenses $6,000
Net operating income $2,000
margin of safety in $ = current sales level - break even point
margin of safety in % = (current sales level - break even point) / current sales level
first we need to calculate the contribution margin per unit = $20 - $12 = $8 per unit
break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin = $6,000 / $8 = 750 units
sales level at break even point = 750 x $20 = $15,000
margin of safety in $ = $20,000 - $15,000 = $5,000
margin of safety = ($20,000 - $15,000) / $20,000 = $5,000 / $20,000 = 25%
In its first month of operations, Concord Corporation made three purchases of merchandise in the following sequence: (1) 250 units at $6, (2) 350 units at $8, and (3) 450 units at $9. Assuming there are 150 units on hand at the end of the period, compute the cost of the ending inventory under (a) the FIFO method and (b) the LIFO method. Concord Corporation uses a periodic inventory system.
Answer:
FIFO - $1350
LIFO - $900
Explanation:
Total inventory = 250 + 350 + 450 = 1050
Total inventory sold = 1050 - 150 = 900
FIFO means first in , first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold. So the ending inventory would consist of the last purchased inventory. So the cost of the ending inventory would be allocated to the 3rd purchase of inventory
150 x $9 = $1350
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold. So the ending inventory would consist of the first purchased inventory. So the cost of the ending inventory would be allocated to the 1st purchase of inventory
150 x $6 = $900

Last year Carson Industries issued a 10-year, 13% semiannual coupon bond at its par value of $1,000. Currently, the bond can be called in 6 years at a price of $1,065 and it sells for $1,200. What is the bond's nominal yield to maturity
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the nominal yield to maturity (YTM) formula as follows:
Yield to maturity = [C + ((F - P) / n)] / [(F + P) / 2] ........ (1)
Where;
F = Face or par value = $1,000
C = Coupon or interest payment = $1,000 * 13% = $130
P = quoted price = $1,200
n = Years to maturity = 10
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Yield to maturity = [130 + ((1,000 - 1,200) / 10)] / [(1,000 + 1,200) / 2] = 0.10, or 10%.

What is the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing?
a) $74 per unit
b) $89 per unit
c) $69 per unit
d) $84 per unit
Answer:
Unit product cost= $84
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units produced 8,700
Direct materials $13
Direct labor $55
Variable manufacturing overhead $1
Fixed manufacturing overhead $130,500
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary fixed overhead= 130,500/8,700= $15
Unit product cost= 13 + 55 + 1 + 15= $84

(Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round "Weighted Average Cost" to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
(a) FIFO
cost of ending inventory = $442.00
cost of goods sold = $486.00
(b) LIFO
cost of ending inventory = $354.00
cost of goods sold = $566.00
(c) weighted average cost
cost of ending inventory = $391.00
cost of goods sold = $529.00
Explanation:
(a) FIFO
cost of ending inventory
cost of ending inventory = Number of Units left × Earliest Price
= 34 × $13.00
= $442.00
cost of goods sold (46 units sold during the year)
cost of goods sold : 20 units × $10 = $200
26 units × $11 = $286
Total = $486
(b) LIFO
cost of ending inventory
cost of ending inventory : 20 units × $10 = $200
14 units × $11 = $154
Total = $354
cost of goods sold (46 units sold during the year)
cost of goods sold : 30 units × $13 = $390
16 units × $11 = $176
Total = $566
(c) weighted average cost
cost of ending inventory
cost of ending inventory = Number of Units left × Average price
New Average Price = ((20 units × $10) + (30 units × $11)) / 50 units
= $10.60
New Average Price = ((50 units × $10.60) + (30 units × $13)) / 80 units
= $11.50
cost of ending inventory = 34 units × $11.50
= $391.00
cost of goods sold (46 units sold during the year)
cost of goods sold = Number of Units Sold × Average price
= 46 units × $11.50
= $529.00

4. no exceptions above
Answer:
2. reduced record-keeping
Explanation:
The decentralization is the chain of the processes in which the proper process of all department is followed
Just like from top-level to middle level and then lower level
And, the inverse is lower level to middle level to top level.
The authority and responsibility are delegated to each level of management so that the day to day operations could be performed in a smooth, effective and efficient manner
For the complex companies who adopt decentralization, they have all the benefits like delegation, problem identification but do not reduce record keeping as it is not an easy task for every company
Hence, option 2 is correct
A firm is deciding between two different sewing machines. Technology A has fixed costs of $500 and marginal costs of $50 whereas Technology B has fixed costs of $250 and marginal costs of $100. If the price is $60 per unit, what is the break even amount of units for technology A?A. 50 B. 100 C. 150D. None-They would have to shut down
Answer:
A. 50 units
Explanation:
Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / (Selling price - Variable cost)
= $ 500 / ($ 60 - $ 50)
= $ 500/$10
= 50 units
The break-even point is derived by dividing the fixed costs of production by the price per unit - the variable costs of production. Break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the Income for the particular product

Plum Corporation (a C corporation and a computer manufacturer) donated 100 laptop computers to a local university (a qualified educational organization) this year. The computers were constructed by Plum earlier this year, and the university will use the computers for research and research training. Plum's basis in the computers is $35,000, and their fair market value is $120,000. What is Plum's deduction for the contribution of the computers (ignoring the taxable income limitation)?
Answer:
Plum’s deduction for the contribution of the computers is $70,000
Explanation:
According to the given data the contribution of the computers qualifies for the increased contribution amount available with respect to certain inventory.
Therefore, The contribution amount is equal to the lesser of :
1) $35,000 basis + 50 % * ( $120,000 FMV - $35,000 basis ) = $ 77,500 ( basis + 50 % of the appreciation on the property )
2) $35,000 * 2 = $ 70,000 ( twice the property's basis )
Therefore, Plum’s deduction for the contribution of the computers is $70,000.
Answer:
$70,000
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Plum's basis in the computers is= $35,000
The fair market value is = $120,000.
Now,
We find the deduction for plum's corporation towards the contribution of computers.
Thus,
The donation of the computers allows for the increased amount contribution at hand with respect to certain inventory. The contribution amount is equal to the lesser of the following:
So,
35000 basis + 50 % * ( 120000 FMV - 35000 basis ) = $ 77500 ( basis + 50 % of the appreciation on the property )
Then
35000 * 2 = $ 70000 ( twice the property's basis )
Hence, Plum’s deduction for the contribution of the computers is 70000.
