Due to a recession, expected inflation this year is only 3.75%. However, the inflation rate in Year 2 and thereafter is expected to be constant at some level above 3.75%. Assume that the expectations theory holds and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 3.5%. If the yield on 3-year Treasury bonds equals the 1-year yield plus 0.5%, what inflation rate is expected after Year 1

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5.25%

Explanation:

To calculate the inflation for the year 3, we will have to calculate the yield on 1 Year treasury bond.

The yield is calculated using the following formula:

Nominal Yield on Bond = Real risk free rate + Inflation for the year

Here

Inflation for Year One is 3.75%

Real Risk-Free Rate is 3.5%

Nominal yield on bond is Y for year 1

By putting values, we have:

Y = 3.5% + 3.75% = 7.25%

For 3 years treasury bond,

Nominal Yield on Treasury Bond  for 3 years = Yield on year 1 + Inflation

Y3 = 7.25% + 1.5% = 8.75 %

Now if we deduct the real risk free rate from the  3 year yield on the treasury bond, then the resultant rate would be the inflation rate for the year 3.

Inflation Rate for Year 3 = Y3 - Real Risk-Free Rate

Inflation Rate for Year 3 = 8.75% - 3.5%

Inflation Rate for Year 3 = 5.25%

3. Determine the total interest expense for Year 1.

Interest expense 1,535,897

4. Will the bond proceeds always be less than the face amount of the bonds when the contract rate is less than the market rate of interest?

Yes, when the bond's interest rate is lower than the market rate, the bonds will be sold at a discount (less than face value). The market rate applicable to this bond issuance is the one used for similar bonds, so the market rate can change depending on the bond.

5. Compute the price of $37,282,062 received for the bonds by using the present value tables

the value of the bonds = PV of face value + PV of coupons

PV of face value = $40,000,000 / (1 + 4%)²⁰ = $18,255,478PV of annuity = $1,400,000 x PV annuity 4% for 20 periods = $1,400,000 x 13.59033 = $19,026,462

total value = $18,255,478 + $19,026,462 = $37,281,940

There is a small difference, $122, due to rounding errors from the annuity table. But the error is not significant, it represents only 0.0003% of the bonds' price.

Explanation:

issued $40,000,000 of 10-year, 7% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 8%, receiving cash of $37,282,062

coupon payment = $40,000,000 x 7% x 1/2 = $1,400,000

semiannual coupon paid December 31 and June 30

Discount on bonds payable $2,717,938 / 20 coupons = $135,896.90 ≈ $135,897 per coupon payment

Suppose that the government spending multiplier is 3.2 and the tax multiplier is 2.9. This means that, if prices are constant, a $200 billion rise in government spending will __________________, and a $200 billion cut in taxes will _____________________.

Answers

Answer:

At constant prices, a $200 billion rise in government spending will increase Real GDP by 640 billion

and;

A $200 billion cut in taxes will increase real GDP by 580 billion

Explanation:

Government spending multiplier = 3.2

Tax multiplier = 2.9

Mathematically;

ΔY/ΔG = 3.2

ΔY/200 = 3.2

ΔY = 200 * 3.2

ΔY = 640 billion

Cut in taxes;

Tax multiplier = 2.9

ΔY/ΔT = 2.9

ΔY/200 = 2.9

ΔY = 2.9 * 200

ΔY = 580 billion

Shulman Inc. has the following data, in thousands. Assuming a 365-day year, what is the firm's cash conversion cycle? Annual sales = $45,000 Annual cost of goods sold = $30,000 Inventory = $4,500 Accounts receivable = $1,800 Accounts payable = $2,500

Answers

Answer:

38.93

Explanation:

Firm Cash Conversion Cycle = Inventory Conversion Period + Average Collection Period  - Payable Deferral Period

Inventory Conversion Period =  365 * Inventory / Annual cost of goods sold

365 days * 4500 / 30000 = 54.75

Average Collection Period = 365 days * Account receivable /  sales

= 365 * 1800 / 45000 = 14.60

Payable Deferral Period = 365 days * Account payable /  sales =  365 * 2500 / 30000 = 30.42

Hence, Firm Cash Conversion Cycle = 54.75 + 14.60 - 30.42 = 38.93

The firm Cash Conversion Cycle is 38.93

According to the Marketing Concept, a. Companies produce only what customers want. b. A company should produce only basic products. c. Managements primary task is to convince buyers to purchase what we produce. d. Management’s most important task is to keep production costs low. e. ALL OF THE ABOVE. f. NONE OF THE ABOVE

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Companies should produce what customers want based on the marketing concept. Companies and customers are dependent on each other. Companies should focus on producing goods which consumers/customers want. These companies should think of what consumers want and the prices they would pay since it is the consumer that creates demand for goods and services that are produced by the company.

Therefore companies should produce only what consumers want else they would produce goods and services with little demand.

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.

Answers

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.

What is fixed and variable cost?

Answers

Answer:

Okay, so fixed costs are costs that are consistant in their price (buildings, rent, machinery, etc.). Variable costs are costs that change based on production (wages, materials, utilities, etc.).

In March of 2019, Thomas makes a $5,000 cash contribution to a public university. In that month, he also donates $20,000 to an organization subject to the 30 percent limitation. Thomas has adjusted gross income for 2019 of $30,000. What is the amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction?

Answers

Answer:

The amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction is $14,000

Explanation:

In order to calculate the amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction we would have to calculate the following:

amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction =Cash contribution + [30% of adjusted gross income or actual property ,whichever is lower]

amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction = $5,000+ [(30%* $30,000) or $20,000 ,whichever is lower]

amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction =$5,000 [ $9,000 or $20,000]

amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction= $5,000 + $9,000

amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction= $14,000

Bob's lawn-mowing service is a profit-maximizing, competitive firm. Bob mows lawns for $30 each. His total cost each day is $320, of which $70 is a fixed cost. He mows 10 lawns a day. In the short run, Bob should____________ . In the long run, Bob should__________ the industry.

Answers

Answer:

In the short run, as long as the contribution margin is positive he should continue in the industry. In the long run, if the company keeps losing money, he should leave the industry.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Bob mows lawns for $30 each. His total cost each day is $320, of which $70 is a fixed cost. He mows 10 lawns a day.

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:

Total variable cost= 320 - 70= 250

Unitary varaible cost= 250/10= $25

Contribution margin= 30 - 25= $5

In the short run, as long as the contribution margin is positive he should continue in the industry. In the long run, if the company keeps losing money, he should leave the industry.

Managers can use CSR and sustainability information as important feedback to guide decision making in a variety of areas. Which of the following areas is least likely to be impacted by this feedback?

a. cost control decisions
b. FASB compliance with U.S. GAAP
c. strategic and operational areas
d. resource allocation decisions

Answers

Answer:

Option B. FASB compliance with U.S. GAAP

Explanation:

Because FASB is an independent body and publishes amendmends in Accounting standards which are internationally accepted so it has nothing to do with the US GAAP. Our decision making impact can be seen on the matters that are dependent on us not on the things we don't have control of or if they independent body. So the least impacted would be FASB compliance with US GAAP.

Whereas the rest of options are controlled by the managers so they can be easily influenced by the decision making power of the managers.

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.

Answers

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

Suppose that a 1-year zero-coupon bond with face value $100 currently sells at $90.37, while a 2-year zero sells at $77.15. You are considering the purchase of a 2-year-maturity bond making annual coupon payments. The face value of the bond is $100, and the coupon rate is 9% per year. a. What is the yield to maturity of the 2-year zero?(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The yield to maturity on the 2 year-zero coupon bond is 13.85%  as computed in the explanation section below

Explanation:

The yield to maturity on the 2-year-zero coupon  bond can be computed using the rate formula in excel as shown thus:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of annual coupon payments which is 2

pmt is the amount of annual coupon payment which is zero since it is a zero coupon bond

pv is the current price of the bond which is $77.15

fv is the face value of the bond which is $100

=rate(2,0,-77.15,100)=13.85%

On January 1, Year 1, the Accounts Receivable balance was $21,000 and the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $1,900. On January 15, Year 1, an $530 uncollectible account was written-off. What is the net realizable value of accounts receivable immediately after the write-off

Answers

Answer:

$19,100

Explanation:

Accounts receivable represents amount owed to a business by its customers for products or services offered. It is payable in the future.

When collection is uncertain the amount is put in doubtful account.

If an amount is confirmed to be uncollectible it is written off as a loss

In this scenario we are calculating realisable value after write-off

Account receivable after write-off = Account receivable balance - Uncollectible amount

Account receivable after write-off= 21,000 - 530= $20,470

Allowance balance after write-off= Doubtful account - Uncollectible account

Allowance balance after write-off= 1,900 - 530 = $1,370

Net realisable value after write-off= 20,470 - 1,370= $19,100

"Cincinnati Supply, Co. is a local supplier to the Kraft Heinz Company, which is the third-largest food and beverage company in North America and the fifth-largest food and beverage company in the world. Cincinnati Supply, Co. purchased new furniture at a cost of $33,000 on January 1. The furniture is estimated to have a useful life of 6 years and a $3,000 salvage value. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. What is the amount of depreciation expense reported on December 31

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $5,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $33,000

Salvage value= $3,000

Useful life= 6 years

To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (33,000 - 3,000)/6

Annual depreciation= $5,000

Answers

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%

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
