At the end of the first month of operations, the Lamar Company's accountant prepared financial statements that showed the following amounts: Assets $90,000 Liabilities 30,000 Stockholders' Equity 60,000 Net Income 11,000 In preparing the statements, the accountant overlooked the following items: a. Depreciation for the month. $4,500 b. Service revenue earned but unbilled at month-end. $1,850 c. Employee wages earned but unpaid at month-end. 450 Determine the correct amounts of assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity at month-end and net income for the month. Assets Liabilities Stockholders' Equity Net Income Answer 87,350 Answer 30,450 Answer 86,900 Answer 7,900
Answer:
Assets = $87,350
Liabilities = $30,450
Stockholders' Equity = $56,900
Net Income = $7,900
Explanation:
The correct amounts of assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity at month-end and net income for the month can be determined as follows:
Assets = Recorded asset value - Depreciation + Unbilled service revenue = $90,000 - $4,500 + $1,850 = $87,350
Liabilities = Recorded liabilities + Unpaid wages = 30,000 + 450 = $30,450
Stockholders' Equity = Recorded Stockholders' Equity - Depreciation + Unbilled service revenue - Unpaid wages = $60,000 - $4,500 + $1,850 - $450 = $56,900
Net Income = Recorded net income - Depreciation + Unbilled service revenue - Unpaid wages = 11,000 - $4,500 + $1,850 - $450 = $7,900
Note that from the above calculations, we can obtain:
Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $30,450 + $56,900 = $87,350
This therefore confirms the accounting equation that:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $87,350
RainMan Inc. is in the business of producing rain upon request. They must decide between two investment projects: a new airplane for seeding rain clouds or a new weather control machine built by Dr. Nutzbaum. The discount rate for the new airplane is 9 percent, while the discount rate for the weather machine is 39 percent (it happens to have higher market risk). Which investment should the company select and why
Complete data:
Year___AirplaneWeather __ Machine
0 _______–90 _________ –900
1 _______500 ___________550
2 _______600 ____ ______600
3 _____________________685
Answer:
Weather machine, because it has a higher equivalent annual cash flow.
Explanation:
Discount rate :
New airplane = 9% = 0.09
Weather machine = 39% = 0.39
Calculate the Equivalent annual cashflow of each :
Using the relation :
New airplane :
(-900+500/1.09) + (600/1.09^2) * 0.09 / (1-1/1.09^2)
(−900+500÷1.09+600÷1.09^2)×9%÷(1−1÷1.09^2)
= 36.2249
Equivalent Annual cashflow of Weather Machine=(−900+550÷1.39+600÷1.39^2+685÷1.39^3)×0.39÷(1−1÷1.39^3)
= 38.0828
Based on the result of the equivalent annual cashflow, the company should opt for investing in weather machine.
fter 15 years of employment in the airline industry, John started his own consulting company to use physical and computer simulation in the analysis of commercial airport accidents on runways. He estimates his average cost of new capital at 8% per year for physical simulation projects, that is, where he physically reconstructs the accident using scale versions of planes, buildings, vehicles, etc. He has established 17% per year as the MARR. What net rate of return on capital investments for physical simulation does he expect
Answer:
The answer is "9%".
Explanation:
Please find the complete question in the attached file.
The formula for calculating the net return rate:
[tex]\to \text{Net return rate= MARR - Capital Cost}[/tex]

Based on past experience, Maas Corp. (a U.S.-based company) expects to purchase raw materials from a foreign supplier at a cost of 1,000,000 francs on March 15, 2021. To hedge this forecasted transaction, on December 15, 2020, the company acquires a call option to purchase 1,000,000 francs in three months. Maas selects a strike price of $0.58 per franc when the spot rate is $0.58 and pays a premium of $0.005 per franc. The spot rate increases to $0.584 at December 31, 2020, causing the fair value of the option to increase to $7,500. By March 15, 2021, when the raw materials are purchased, the spot rate has climbed to $0.59, resulting in a fair value for the option of $10,000. The raw materials are used in assembling finished products, which are sold by December 31, 2021, when Maas prepares its annual financial statements.

A water resources engineer is trying to run a cost-benefit analysis for a project. They need to first decide on the planning period (the benefits should be calculated over N years, and N should be determined). If N is too large, then the future benefits in those years (e.g. 70 years from now) will have a very low present value. Therefore, the engineer would like to cut off the planning period after a point when the present equivalent of benefits becomes less than 6.25% of that future benefit. If the interest rate is 8%, use the rule of 72 to determine the duration of the planning period (N).
Answer:
N = 36 years
Explanation:
Solution:
According to the 72 rule, present sum doubles in value, if the product of interest rate in percent and number of compounding period is 72.
So, We can say for every 9 years at 8 percent = 72 = present sum will be doubled.
Similarly, it will be doubled at 18 years., then 27 years, then 36 years and so on.
SO,
We need to find the P/F ratio, for the end of 0 years first.
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 0 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-0}[/tex] (Anything power zero = 1)
So, similarly, calculate this P/F ratio for every 9 years till present equivalent of benefits becomes less than 6.25% of that future benefit.
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 9 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 9 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-9}[/tex]
P/F = 0.50
Amount = 2x
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 18 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 18 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-18}[/tex]
P/F = 0.25
Amount = 4x
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 27 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 27 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-27}[/tex]
P/F = 0.13
Amount = 8x
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 36 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 36 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-36}[/tex]
P/F = 0.06 = P/F ratio percentage = 6%
Amount = 16x
Hence, N = 36 years because it is the value nearest to 6.25% required
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 45 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 45 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-45}[/tex]
P/F = 0.03
Amount = 32x

One problem with using market values to measure GDP is that A. some useful goods and services are not sold in markets. B. you cannot compare completely heterogeneous goods by using their dollar values. C. prices for some goods change every year. D. market values of exported goods are usually priced in foreign currencies.
Answer:
C. prices for some goods change every year.
Explanation:
The reason why the real GDP (GDP adjusted to inflation) is a much better economic index than nominal GDP is that prices change over time, even if the quantities produced do not. It is actually possible for nominal GDP to increase even if total production output decreases due solely to high inflation rates.
Nettle Co. uses process costing to account for the production of rubber balls. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Equivalent units have been calculated to be 12,000 units for materials and 10,000 units for conversion costs. Beginning inventory consisted of $14,000 in materials and $8,000 in conversion costs. April costs were $72,000 for materials and $80,000 for conversion costs. Ending inventory still in process was 4,000 units (100% complete for materials, 50% for conversion). The cost per unit for materials using the FIFO method would be closest to:__________A. $6.0000B. $7.1666C. $14.5000D. $1.8334
Answer: $6.00
Explanation:
The following can be gotten from the question:
From the question, we are informed that April costs were $72,000 for materials with the equivalent units have been calculated to be 12,000 units.
Therefore, the cost per unit for materials using the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) will be:
= $72000 / 12000
= $6.00
The cost per unit for materials using the FIFO method would be closest to Option A. $6.0000.
The calculation is as follows:= Material cost ÷ equivalnet units for materials
= $72000 ÷ 12000
= $6.00

A local university has a goal of raising $500,000 for an escrow account. Their fund-raising committee has committed to raising $5,000 a month until they reach their goal. These funds are deposited into an interest-bearing account that earns interest at the rate of 8 percent per year compounded monthly. The first deposit is made at the end of the current month. How many months (aka how many deposits) can the committee expect to continue their fund-raising campaign
Answer: 77 months
Explanation:
Use the NPER function on Excel to find the answer.
Rate is compounded monthly so:
= 8% / 12
= 0.66667%
Payment = 5,000 per month
Present value = $0
Future value = 500,000
Value should be = 76.87 months
= 77 months

The €/$ spot exchange rate is €1.50/$ and the 120 day forward exchange rate is €1.45/$. The forward premium (discount) is Group of answer choices the dollar is trading at an 8% premium to the euro for delivery in 120 days. the dollar is trading at a 5% premium to the Swiss franc for delivery in 120 days. the dollar is trading at a 10% discount to the euro for delivery in 120 days. the dollar is trading at a 5% discount to the euro for delivery in 120 days.
Answer:
The forward premium (discount) is:
the dollar is trading at a 10% discount to the euro for delivery in 120 days.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Spot exchange rate = €1.50/$
120 day forward exchange rate = €1.45/$
When the forward rate is less than the spot rate, the means that the currency is trading at a discount in the forward market.
The formula for calculating the forward premium or discount is:
= (Forward Rate Minus Spot Rate)/Forward Rate * 360/120
= (€1.45 - €1.50)/€1.45 * 360/120
= €-0.05/€1.45 * 3
= €-0.03448 * 3 = -10.3%
b) The forward premium occurs when the forward exchange rate is higher than the spot exchange rate. The forward discount occurs when the forward exchange rate is lower than the spot exchange rate. Forward premium or discount is normally expressed as the annualized percentage of the difference, using 360 days.

The ACE Equity Fund has an expected return E[r] of 11.830% and the ZQR Bond Fund has an expected return E[r] of 6.690%. A portfolio comprised of 3% ACE and 97% ZQR would have an expected return of __________%. (percent, rounded three places after decimal)
Answer:
The answer is "6.8442%".
Explanation:
The expected portfolio return is the total average portfolio return for all stocks
ACE fund weight (wA) =3%
ACE fund (ErA) expected return= 11.830%
Bond fund ZQR weight (wB) = 97%.

The electric utility rate for a facility during the months of May through October is 4.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy, $11.50 per kilowatt peak demand, and a $68.00 per month meter charge. During the August billing period the facility used 96,000 kw-hrs and set a peak demand of 624 kw during the time between 4:45 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. in the afternoon on August 15. Calculate the August electric bill.
Answer: $11564
Explanation:
Total units consumed for August = 96000
There's a peak demand of 624kw
Also, the May through October is 4.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy.
The August electric bill will then be:
= 96000 × 4.5/100 + 624 × 11.50 + 68
= (96000 × 0.045) + (624 × 11.50) + 68
= 4320 + 7176 + 68
= 11564
2. Grocers Absorb Rise in Food Prices to Keep Customers From Straying Dec. 17, 2017 7:00 a.m.
ET: Retailers hold line on prices, fearing they will lose business to discounters and new rivals online
Food costs are ticking up after a multiyear glut of many staples. But consumers aren't paying
much more yet because grocers, discounters and online retailers are all holding down prices to win
business. Many grocers are investing in e-commerce operations to keep up with Amazon.com Inc., which
has slashed prices on products including avocados, organic milk and chicken since it acquired Whole
Foods Market this summer. "Price competition is getting more severe," said Kemper Isely, co-president of
the Colorado-based Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage Inc., a health-food chain that competes with
Whole Foods in the West. The chain has cut prices this year in part to try to beat Whole Foods discounts.
Considering grocers, how can you apply price elasticity of demand to this situation?
