Answer:
The common problem i encounter mostly is the statistical modelling problem.
In this scenario we choose best combination of independent variables for the hypothesis testing. the independent variable shows the significant effect on dependent variable so we keep it in modelling.
My null hypothesis would be that there is no significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable. for my alternative hypothesis there exist is significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.
Explanation:
The common problem I face daily is the statistical modelling problem which is the selection of relevant independent variable for prediction modelling.
In this example to select the best combination of independent variables we use hypothesis testing. if the independent variable has significant effect on dependent variable then the independent variable shows the significant effect on dependent variable so we keep it in modelling. In this way the model gets improved.
Since there are always two variables or two categories. hence it has a two sample test.
The Hypothesis can be shown below:
Null hypothesis:
H0: There is no significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.
Alternative hypothesis:
Ha: There is significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.
The phone bill for a corporation consists of both fixed and variable costs. Refer to the fourminusmonth data below and apply the highminuslow method to answer the question. Minutes Total Bill January 470 $ 4 comma 500 February 200 $ 2 comma 695 March 180 $ 2 comma 650 April 320 $ 2 comma 830 If the company uses 390 minutes in May, how much will the total bill be? (Round any intermediate calculations to the nearest cent and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Total cost= $3,989.65
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Minutes Total Bill
January 470 $4,500
February 200 $2,695
March 180 $2,650
April 320 $2,830
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost and fixed costs:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,500 - 2,650) / (470 - 180)
Variable cost per unit= $6.37931
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 4,500 - (6.37931*470)
Fixed costs= $1,501.72
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,650 - (6.37931*180)
Fixed costs= $1,501.72
If the company uses 390 minutes in May:
Total cost= 1,501.72 + 6.37931*390
Total cost= $3,989.65

41,100
What amount should appear in the company's income statement for the year ended 31
December 2009 for rental income?
Answer:
$764,400
Explanation:
Payment in advanced are prepayment which are treated as current liability until the service is delivered and sales income are credited while the .prepayment account are debited.
Accrual payment are payment for service already delivered which are current liability (receivables)
Rental income received = $738,000
Rent in advance as at 31/12/2008 102,600
(prepayment for 2009)
Rent in advance as at 31/12/2009 (77,700)
Prepayment for 2010
Rent in arrears as at 31/12/2008 (39,600)
Accrued payment for 2008
Rent in arrears as at 31/12/2009 41,100
Recognized income 764,400

"A long time customer has purchased securities in a margin account and is experiencing a temporary cash shortfall. The customer tells the registered representative that he cannot pay on settlement; and the registered representative offers to lend the customer the necessary funds. This action is:"
Answer: Prohibited.
Explanation:
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) frowns upon the action described above.
FINRA strongly prohibits the personal borrowing of money by the representative to a customer or vice versa. The only time this prohibition can be waved is if the parties are married or family.
Seeing as there was no mention of the parties being family, this action is prohibited.

Explanation:
A manufacturing firm is considering two locations for a plant to produce a new product. The two locations have fixed and variable costs as follows: Location FC (annual) VC (per unit) Atlanta $ 80,000 $ 20 Phoenix $ 140,000 $ 16 If the annual demand will be 20,000 units, what would be the cost advantage of the better location? HINT: Compare the total costs Select one: a. 40000 b. 20000 c. 460000 d. 60000
Answer:
Cost Advantage of different locations:
b. $20,000
Phoenix certainly had a cost advantage over Atlanta and based on this factor, it should be chosen for the new plant instead of any other city.
Explanation:
a) Total Costs of different locations:
Atlanta Phoenix
Fixed Cost $80,000 $140,000
Variable cost 400,000 320,000
Total Costs $480,000 $460,000
b) Variable costs
Atlanta Phoenix
Annual Demand 20,000 20,000
Variable cost/unit $20 $16
Total variable cost $400,000 $320,000
c) Cost Advantage is the competitive edge which location (or company) can have over another through reduced production or marketing costs or both so that it can offer cheaper prices or use excess profits to bolster promotion or distribution. In this case, the comparison is on the total cost, which is made of variable and fixed costs.
A lot of research has demonstrated that there is a relationship between the of employees and that of the customer
Answer:
Satisfaction
Explanation:
A satisfaction is a thing. We just take an example :- When a customer purchase a product from the company he or she investing their money in order to fulfill their needs and wants. In return the customer wants the product is according to their expectations. In the case when the customer is satisfied, the chances of repurchasing of the product is high.
Therefore, as per the current situation there is always a relationship of satisfaction between the customer and the employees of the company.

g The model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply explains the relationship between a. the price and quantity of a particular good. b. unemployment and output. c. wages and employment. d. real GDP and the price level.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: real GDP and the price level.
Explanation:
To begin with, the "model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply" is the name given to an economy model created by John Keynes many years ago and whose main purpose is to show in a graphic the existing relationship established by Keynes between the price level and the production level. Therefore that, as it is known, the GDP comprehends the production level in this model and it is used in order to try to predict the possible effects that some external factors may have in both the real GDP and the price level.
Answer:
The correct answer is (A)
Explanation:
The model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply explains the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity of same good.
What do we mean by quantity? Quantity here could be quantity demanded or quantity supplied.
The model of Aggregate Demand explains how price of a good affects the general or aggregate demand for that goods and how demand in turn affects price. The law of demand states that, all other things being equal, the higher the price of a good, the lower the quantity demanded of that good and vice versa.
The model of Aggregate Supply explains how the price of a good affects the quantity supplied and the law of supply states that if there's an increase in the price of a good, producers will be encouraged to supply more and vice versa; ceteris paribus!
For the other options, there are macro theories or models that explain them.
g A stock will issue a dividend of $20 one year from today. Dividends will shrink by 3% per year for the next two years after that, and then remain constant forever. Find the current price of one share of this stock, given an effective annual rate of 6%.
Answer:
Current price = $341.943
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
PV dividend in year 1 = 20 × 1.03^(-1)= 19.41747573
PV of dividend in year 2 = 97%× 20 × 1,03^(-2)= 18.28636064
PV of dividend in year 3 = 97%× 97%× 20× 1.03^(-3) = 17.22113575
PV of dividend from year 4 and beyond
This will be done in two steps
PV (in year 3 terms
(97%× 97%× 20× 1.03^(-3))/0.06 =313.6333333
PV in year o terms
PV = A/r
A= 313.63, r = 6%
313.63× 1.03^(-3)= 287.0189291
Price of stock = 19.41 +18.28 + 17.221 + 17.221= 341.943
Current price = $341.943
On January 2, 2015, Vaughn Corporation issued $1,650,000 of 10% bonds at 96 due December 31, 2024. Interest on the bonds is payable annually each December 31. The discount on the bonds is also being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10 years. (Straight-line is not materially different in effect from the preferable "interest method".) The bonds are callable at 102 (i.e., at 102% of face amount), and on January 2, 2017, Vaughn called $1,140,000 face amount of the bonds and redeemed them. Ignoring income taxes.
Required:
Compute the amount of loss, if any, to be recognized by Vaughn as a result of retiring the $1,140,000 of bonds in 2017
Answer:
$59,280
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Bond issue price = $1,650,000 * 0.96 = $1,584,000
Discount on bonds payable = $1,650,000 - $1,584,000 = $66,000
Annual amortization of discount on bonds payable = $66,000 / 10 = 6,600
Bond carrying value on January 2, 2017 = Bond issue price + (Annual discount on bonds payable * Number of years) = $1,584,000 + ($6,600 * 2) = $1,597,200
Value of $1,140,000 of bonds = ($1,597,200 / $1,650,000) * $1,140,000 = $1,103,520
Loss on recognized on redemption = ($1,140,000 * 102%) - $1,103,520 = $59,280
Pharoah Company accounting records show the following at the year ending on December 31, 2022.
Purchase Discounts $ 11900
Freight-in 15600
Purchases 724020
Beginning Inventory 42000
Ending Inventory 50600
Purchase Returns and Allowances 10700
Using the periodic system, the cost of goods sold is:_______.
Answer:
$ 708,420.00
Explanation:
The formula for cost of goods sold is given below
Cost of goods sold=beginning inventory +purchases +freight-purchase discounts-purchases allowance and returns-ending inventory
Cost of goods sold=$42,000+$724,020+$15,600-$11,900-$10,700-$50,600=$ 708,420.00
The purchases discount and purchase returns reduce the value of purchases made hence deducted.
The ending inventory is left in stock as a result is also deducted

If the price of chocolate-covered peanuts decreases from $1.15 to $0.90, the quantity demanded does not change, and other things are unchanged, the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand, using the midpoint method, is:
Answer:
price-elasticity = 0
Explanation:
The formula for mid-point elasticity will be as follows:
[tex]\frac{q_1-q_2}{\frac{q_1+q_2}{2}} \div\frac{p_1-p_2}{\frac{p_1+p_2}{2}}[/tex]
Now, as quantity did not change we get:
q1 = q2
thus q1 + q2 = 2q1
and q1 - q2 = 0
[tex]\frac{0}{\frac{2q_1}{2}} \div\frac{1.15-0.90}{\frac{1.15+0.90}{2}}[/tex]
As we are getting a zero the end result will be zero which makes complete sense as there was no change in quantity the demand is completely inelastic.
You’ve borrowed $23,072 on margin to buy shares in Ixnay, which is now selling at $41.2 per share. You invest 1,120 shares. Your account starts at the initial margin requirement of 50%. The maintenance margin is 35%. Two days later, the stock price changes to $41 per share.
a) Will you receive a margin call?b) How low can the price of Disney shares fall before you receive a margin call?
Answer:
(a) Since the percentage margin is more than maintenance margin, there would be no call
(b) A margin call would be received when the price is $15.26
Explanation:
(a) Total investment = $23,072 × [tex]\frac{100}{50}[/tex] = $46,144
Total shares = Total investment ÷ share price
= $46,144 ÷ $41.2 = 1,120
Value of share in market = new price × number of shares
= $41 × 1,120
= $45,920
Value of equity = Value of share in the market - borrowed cash
= $45,920 - $23,072
= $22,848
Percentage margin = Value of equity ÷ Value of shares
= ($22,848 ÷ $45,920) × 100%
= 49.76%
(b) Total number of shares = 1,120
Assumed value of shares = $1,120X
Borrowed fund = $23,072
Value of equity = $1,120X - $23,072
Margin = Value of equity ÷ Value of shares
0.35 = ($1,120X - $23,072) ÷ $1,120X
392X = $1,120X - $23,072
1512X = $23,072
X = $15.26
Torino Company has 1,300 shares of $50 par value, 6.0% cumulative and nonparticipating preferred stock and 13,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. The company paid total cash dividends of $3,500 in its first year of operation. The cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is:
Answer:
The answer is $4,300
Explanation:
Solution
We recall that:
Torino company has 1,200 shares of = $50 per value
The cumulative and nonparticipating preferred stock of = 6.0%
They also have 13,00 shares
Common stock outstanding = $10 per value
Total dividends = $3,500
Now,
The first year amount of dividend that was paid in the first year of working is stated as follows:
6% * 1300 * 50 = $3900
The paid dividend = $3,500
The amount amount payable during the second year to the common stakeholders is
=$3900 + 400 = $4,300
Note: preferred shares are cumulative, for this the amount paid to the stakeholders was $4,300
6. The term strategy can be defined as: a. A company’s market share, which allows it to outperform competition. b. A coordinated deployment of a firm’s resources to achieve competitive advantage. c. The sum total of a company’s financial, organizational, physical and human resources. d. All of the above.
Answer:
A coordinated deployment of a firm’s resources to achieve competitive advantage.

Answer:
The correct answer is:
A coordinated deployment of a firm’s resources to achieve competitive advantage. (b)
Explanation:
The goal of every business is to maximize profit, hence, business strategy is paramount in achieving this, and it is a combination of all the decisions taken, and actions implemented to achieve business goals and to gain a competitive advantage in the market. From this definition, it is therefore noted that business strategies are effectively drawn up at the beginning of the business year, because it is like a roadmap for the business, and implemented throughout the period, although, it can also change depending on the condition of the business environment. Note also that business strategy is different from the business plan, while business plans sets the goals of the business, business strategy states how to achieve these goals.
The 6.3 percent, semi-annual coupon bonds of PE Engineers mature in 13 years and have a price quote of 99.2. These bonds have a current yield of ________ percent, a yield to maturity of ________ percent, and an effective annual yield of ________ percent.
Answer:
Current yield is 6.35%
YTM is 6.40%
Effective annual yield is 6.50%
Explanation:
Current yield =coupon amount/price=6.3%*$1000/$1000*99.2%=6.35%
Yield to maturity can be computed using excel rate formula as below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of coupon payments of the bond which is 13*2
pmt is the annual coupon=6.3%*$1000=$63/2=$31.5
pv is the current price=99.2%*$1000=$992
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(13*2,31.5,-992,1000)=3.20%
Semiannual yield =3.20%
annual yield=3.20%*2=6.40%
effective annual yield=(1+YTM/2)^2-1
effective annual yield=(1+6.40%/2)^2-1=6.50%

The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the weight of equity in to be use to calculate the firm's WACC?
Answer:
The weight of equity in to be use to calculate the firm's WACC is 0.48 or 48%
Explanation:
The weight of equity to be used in firm's WACC computation is market value of equity divided by the sum of market value of equity ,preferred stock and bonds.
Market value of equity=44,000*$32 =$1,408,000.00
Market value of preferred stock=7,500*$92 =$690,000
Market value of bonds=$825,000*$989/$1000=$815,925.00
Sum of market values =$ 2,913,925.00
Weight of equity=market value of equity/ Sum of market values=$1,408,000.00/$2,913,925.00= 0.48 =48%

Federal Semiconductors issued 11% bonds, dated January 1, with a face amount of $800 million on January 1, 2021. The bonds sold for $739,814,813 and mature on December 31, 2040 (20 years). For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield was 12%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Federal determines interest at the effective rate. Federal elected the option to report these bonds at their fair value. On December 31, 2021, the fair value of the bonds was $730 million as determined by their market value in the over-the-counter market. Assume the fair value of the bonds on December 31, 2022 had risen to $736 million.
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entry to record their issuance by Federal on January 1, 2021.
2. Prepare the journal entry to record interest on June 30, 2021 (at the effective rate).
3. Prepare the journal entry to record interest on December 31, 2021 (at the effective rate).
4. At what amount will Federal report the bonds among its liabilities in the December 31, 2021, balance sheet?
Answer:
1. Prepare the journal entry to record their issuance by Federal on January 1, 2021.

Dec 31, 2021 Interest expense 44,412,222
Discount on bonds payable 412,222
Cash 44,000,000
(To record payment of semi-annual interest)
4. The amount that Federal will report for the bonds among its liabilities in the December 31, 2021, balance sheet is $740,615,924
Explanation:
1. Discount on bonds payable = $800 million - $739,814,813 = $60,185,187
2. Cash paid = Face value × stated interest × interest time period
= $800,000,000 × 11% × 0.5
= $44,000,000
Interest expense = price of bonds × market interest rate × interest time period
= $739,814,813 × 12% × 0.5
= $44,388,889
Discount on bonds payable = $44,388,889 - $44,000,000 = $388,889
3. Cash paid = Face value × stated interest × interest time period
= $800,000,000 × 11% × 0.5
= $44,000,000
Interest expense = price of bonds × market interest rate × interest time period
= ($739,814,813 + $388,889) × 12% × 0.5
= $ 44,412,222
Discount on bonds payable = $44,412,222 - $44,000,000 = $412,222
4. Long term liabilities = Bonds payable + Discount on bonds payable June 30 + Discount on bonds payable December 31
= $739,814,813 + $388,889 + $412,222
= $740,615,924
The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $800,000 in a fixed asset with a useful life of four years, straight-line depreciation, no residual value, and an expected total net income of $360,000 for the four years is
Answer:
22.5%
Explanation:
For computation of return on investment first we need to find out the average investment and average income per year which is shown below:-
Average investment = Proposed investment ÷ Average
= $800,000 ÷ 2
= $400,000
Now, the Average income per year = Expected total net income ÷ Number of year
= $360,000 ÷ 4
= $90,000
Return on investment = Average income per year ÷ Average investment
= $90,000 ÷ $400,000
= 0.225
or
= 22.5%
On January 1, 2018, White Corporation signed a $ 120,000, four-year, 2% note. The loan required White to make payments annually on December 31 of $ 30,000 principal plus interest.
Required:
a. Journalize the issuance of the note on January 1, 2018
b. Journalize the first payment on December 31, 2018
Answer:
Dr cash $120,000
Cr Notes payable $120,000
Dr interest expense $2,400
Dr notes payable $30,000
Cr cash $32,400
Explanation:
The issuance of the notes payable of $120,000 means that White Corporation's cash inflow has increased by $120,000 while its corresponding loan obligation has also gone up by the same amount.
On 31 December 2018,White Corporation would need to repay $30,000 principal plus interest of $2,400 ($120,000*2%).The interest payment is debited to interest expense while $30,000 repayment is debited to notes payable and cash is credited with the total of $32,400
Write a linear cost function equation for each of the following conditions. Use y for estimated costs and X for activity of the cost driver.
a. Direct manufacturing labor is $10 per hour.
b. Direct materials cost $15.60 per cubic yard.
c. Utilities have a minimum charge of $5,000, plus a charge of $0.30 per kilowatt-hour.
d. Machine operating costs include $300,000 of machine depreciation per year, plus $100 of utility costs for each day the machinery is in operation.
Answer:
a)
y = $10x
b)
y = $15.6x
c)
y = $5000 + $0.3x
d)
y = $300000 + $100x
Explanation:
y for estimated costs and X for activity of the cost driver. Linear cost function is given as:
y = a + bx.
Where y is the cost being predicted, x is the cost driver, a is the fixed cost (intercept) and b is the variable cost per unit (slope)
a) Since Direct manufacturing labor is $10 per hour, variable cost (b) = Direct manufacturing labor = $10
Therefore:
y = $10x
b) variable cost (b) = Direct materials cost = $15.60 per cubic yard.
Therefore:
y = $15.6x
c) Fixed cost (a) = utilities = $5000 and variable cost (b) = charges = $0.3 per kilowatt-hour. Therefore:
y = $5000 + $0.3x
d) Fixed cost (a) = Machine operating costs = $300000 and variable cost (b) = utility costs = $100 per day. Therefore:
y = $300000 + $100x

The following data apply to Elizabeth's Electrical Equipment: Value of operations $20,000 Short-term investments $1,000 Debt $6,000 Number of shares 300 The company plans on distributing $1,000 by repurchasing stock. What will the intrinsic per share stock price be immediately after the repurchase? Notes: With some combinations of variables, the residual policy may result in zero dividends and a zero payout ratio. These outcomes are noted in the topic [TOP] field if applicable.
Answer:
$50
Explanation:
Elizabeth's Electrical Equipment
Total Assets will be :
Value of operations of 20,000+ Short term investments of 1000
=$21,000
Debt = $6000
Hence:
Equity will be :
Assets - Debt
= $21,000-$6,000
Which will give us = $15,000
Number of shares which are outstanding
= 300
$15,000/300
=$50
Therefore the Intrinsic value per share will be $50 immediately after the repurchase has occured.
Cash flows of two mutually exclusive projects are as follows. Project A costs $80,000 initially and will have a $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $30,000 per year. Project B has initial cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8,000 per year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. Assume the interest rate is 10% per year. Which of the following statements is true?A. Two projects have different life cycleB. Project A should be selected.C. The present worth of project A is -$143,252.17.D. The present worth of project B is -$109,842.22.
Answer:
C. The present worth of project A is -$143,252.17
Explanation:
Present worth can be calculated using a financial calculator
For method A ,
Cash flow in year 0 = $80,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $30,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $30,000 - $15,000 = $15,000
I = 10%
Present worth= $ 143,335.84
For method B,
Cash flow in year 0 = $120,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $8, 000
Cash flow in year 3 = $8,000 - $40,000 = $-32,000
I = 10%
Present worth = $130,157.78
Method b would is chosen because it worth less.
To find the present worth using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
The Sunland Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $80 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $5,400 per month
Utilities $1,200 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $2,140 per month
Maid service $19 per room
Other costs $37 per room
Required:
a. Determine the inn's break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
b. Determine the inn's break-even point in dollars.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $80 a night.
Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $5,400 per month
Utilities $1,200 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $2,140 per month
Maid service $19 per room
Other costs $37 per room
We won't take into account the depreciation expense because it is not a cash disbursement.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Fixed costs= 5,400 + 1,200 + 2,140= $8,740
Variable cost= 19 + 37= $56
Break-even point in units= 8,740 / (80 - 56)
Break-even point in units= 364 rented rooms
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 8,740 / (24/80)
Break-even point (dollars)= $29,133
