A banking system has a reserve ratio equal to 15%. For every $100 deposited into the banking system, the bank is required to keep 2 at least ____________ on reserve and can therefore lend no more than _________ Instructions: Enter a whole number in each box above.
b. For this banking system, the money multiplier is equal to__________meaning that $100 of cash deposited into the banking system 4 points can be turned into ___________ deposits through the money creation process.
Answer:
A banking system has a reserve ratio equal to 15%. For every $100 deposited into the banking system, the bank is required to keep 2 at least ____$15________ on reserve and can therefore lend no more than ___$85______ Instructions: Enter a whole number in each box above.
b. For this banking system, the money multiplier is equal to_____6.67_____meaning that $100 of cash deposited into the banking system 4 points can be turned into ___$667________ deposits through the money creation process.
Explanation:
a) Reserve Ratio: This is the portion of deposit liabilities that commercial banks must keep, rather than lend out or invest as determined by the country's central bank. In the United States, the Federal Reserve determines the Reserve Ratio and uses it to control the money supply in the economy.
b) The Money Multiplier refers to the change that happens when an initial deposit leads to a bigger final increase in the total money supply. For example, a commercial bank has deposit liability of $1 million and this leads to a final money supply of $10 million. The money multiplier is 10. The formula for calculating the money multiplier is 1/RR, where RR is the Reserve Ratio. This means that the money multiplier is a function of the reserve ratio.

Business Calculators Inc. will pay an annual dividend of $2.25 per share next year. The company just announced that future dividends will be increasing by 0.75 percent annually. How much are you willing to pay for one share of this stock if you require a rate of return of 12.25 percent?
Answer: $19.57
Explanation:
You should be willing to pay for the what the stock is valued at the moment and you can use the Gordon Growth Model to value this stock.
Formula is,
Vs = D1/ Re - g
Vs = Value of stock
D1 = the next dividend
Re = Required Return
g = growth rate
Value of stock is,
= 2.25 / ( 12.25% - 0.75%)
= $19.565
= $19.57
Mark is creating Nu2U, a Web site through which he will enter into contracts over the Internet. In his standard online contract, he includes a provision which states "Any disputes under this contract will be resolved under the laws of the State of Texas." This is an example of a
Answer: Choice of Law Clause
Explanation:
The Choice of Law Clause allows parties in a contract to pick a territory's laws as the laws that the contract between them will be applicable to.
This way uncertainty can be avoided when any of the parties seeks legal redress for any perceived breach of contract.
It is worthy of note that parties do not even need to be from the Territory whose laws have been chosen and this is why some parties look for Territories who have laws that will be favourable to them. This is why most big Corporations pick Delaware law because their laws are perceived to be pro big business.
Fast-food restaurants like McDonald's are replacing cashiers with touch-screen ordering kiosks. Currently the MPL for an additional cashier is 48 customers served per hour and the MPK for an additional kiosk is 32 customers served per hour. A cashier can be hired for wage of $15; a kiosk rents for $12.
(a) Is Whataburger using the optimal cost-minimizing mix of cashiers and kiosks? Explain.
(b) What can Whataburger do to improve its mix of inputs – hire more cashiers or fewer? Rent more kiosks or fewer?
Answer:
a. Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. Whataburger should hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost
Explanation:
a. According to the given data we have the following:
Let "C" is a cashier.
"K" is a kiosk
MPC = 48 (Marginal Product of Cashier)
MPK = 32 (Marginal Product of Kiosk)
PC = $15 (cashier can be hired for a wage of $15)
PK = $12 (Kiosk rents for $12)
At optimal cost minimization point, (MPC / MPK) = (PC / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (MPK / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (48 / 15) = 3.2
(MPK / PK) = (32 / 12) = 2.67
Since the (MPC / PC) and (MPK / PK) is not equal. It implies Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. We have to use the following:
(MPC / PC) > (MPK / PK)
i.e., 3.2 > 2.67
It means Whataburger hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost.
On January 1, Year 1, Milton Manufacturing Company purchased equipment with a list price of $37,000. A total of $4,000 was paid for installation and testing. During the first year, Milton paid $6,000 for insurance on the equipment and another $700 for routine maintenance and repairs. Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units. What is the amount of depreciation for Year 1
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $4,620
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $37,000
Installation= $4,000
Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and the estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units.
First, we will determine the total cost consisting of the purchasing price and all costs to make the equipment operable.
Total cost= 37,000 + 4,000= $41,000
Now, to calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(41,000 - 8,000)/100,000]*14,000
Annual depreciation= $4,620
A business will construct its financial statements in a particular order because they are interrelated. This means that items formulated in an earlier statement feed into the subsequent statements, and changes to items on one financial statement can have compounding effects on the overall financial position of a company. Which of the following is one reason the statement of owner's equity is prepared after the income statement?
a. Retained earnings are computed on the income statement.
b. Net income is the beginning retained earnings amount.
c. Retained earnings is really an asset.
d. Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings.
Answer: d. Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings.
Explanation:
In the statement of owner's equity, Retained earnings are calculated and it is done with the Net Income. This is why when the net income is calculated from the Income Statement it is transfered to the SOE and used to calculate Retained Earnings.
Retained Earnings are calculated by the formula,
Ending Retained = Opening Retained Earnings + Net Income (losses) - Dividends
Net income is added to (or subtracted from if it is a Net loss) the Opening Retained earnings balance. Net dividends are also subtracted.
Each week your supervisor holds a meeting in which he invites you and all the other employees to give feedback regarding current projects. According to path-goal theory, which behavior best describes your supervisor?
1. Supportive
2. Directive
3. Participative
4. Achievement oriented
Answer:
The correct answer is the third option: Participative.
Explanation:
To begin with, the path-goal theory refers to leadership theory developed by Robert House in 1971 and whose main focus is on the behavior that a leader has among its followers and states that the behavior that he has will influece the satisfaction, motivation and performance of his followers.
Secondly, the theory states that there are four behaviors and one of them is the partcipative behavior whose characteristics are that the leader tends to consult with followers and ask for their suggestion before making a final decision and that is why the best behavior that describes correctly to the supervisor is the participative.
In 2014, Elbert Corporation had net cash provided by operating activities of 531,000; net cash used by investing activities of 963,000; and net cash provided by financing activities of 585,000. At January 1, 2014, the cash balance was 333,000. Compute the December 31 2014, cash.
Answer:
December 31 2014, cash = $486,000
Explanation:
To solve this, we will classify the particulars as either income or expenditure,and find the difference. This is shown below:
Particulars income($) expenditure($)
operating activities 531,000 -
investing activities - 963,000
financing activities 585,000 -
January 1 cash balance 333,000 -
Total 1,449,000 963,000
∴ net cash available on December 31 2014 = Total income - expenditure
= 1,449,000 - 963,000 = $486,000
When Sandra and Charles Givens were divorced, the court ordered a division of property and awarded Sandra $65,000. The award was a judgment against Charles, who failed to pay it. Sandra asked the court to find Charles in contempt. Their lawyers had a conference with the judge, and they agreed that Charles would pay $2500 immediately and $300 per month until the judgment was paid in full. Charles alleged that the new payment schedule was a binding contract, because Sandra had accepted his offer of payments. Was it a contract
Answer:
Yes, it is a binding contract.
Explanation:
A contract is a legal binding agreement between two or more parties at the court of law. The agreement could be in terms of money, services, right or duties between the parties involved.
Since a consent has been reached between the two parties before the judge, Charles would pay the sum in the stipulated manner. The acceptance of the offer of payment by Sandra made it a binding contract for Charles, so he is bound by this service until he pays the full amount to Sandra.
Assume straight-line depreciation. A company plans to purchase machinery costing $1,000,000 with salvage value of $200,000 after 4 years. After-tax net income is expected to be $55,000, $40,000, $35,000, and $30,000 during the 4 years. Calculate the accounting rate of return. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Answer:
Accounting rate of return = 6.67%
Explanation:
The accounting rate of return (ARR) is the proportion of the average investment that is earned as profit.
ARR = average operating income/ Average investment
Average income =( 55,000 + 40,000 + 35,000 + 30,000)/4=40,000
Average investment = initial cost + salvage value/2
= 1,000,000 + 200,000/2 = 600,000
ARR = 40,000/600,000 × 100= 6.67
Accounting rate of return = 6.67%
Answer:
6.7%
Explanation:
g You currently hold an inflation-indexed bond, which pays out real coupons of 10% per year, starting one year from now. The bond has a real face value of $600, and will mature three years from today. If inflation over the next year will be 2% per year for the next three years, what will be the total nominal payment you will receive at the date of maturity
Answer:
$618 dollars
Explanation:
The beginning face value will be our starting position: $600
Then, we have a 2 percent increase over the next three years
this makes for a principal at maturity of:
600 x (1 + 2% x 3 years ) = $618
This makes each coupon return in coins to also increase over time as, they are calcualted based on the adjusted face vale. This method iguarantee the 10% return on the bond regardless of inflation during the period.

You are considering an investment in a clothes distributer. The company needs $ 110 comma 000 today and expects to repay you $ 121 comma 000 in a year from now. What is the IRR of this investment opportunity? Given the riskiness of the investment opportunity, your cost of capital is 17 %. What does the IRR rule say about whether you should invest?
Answer:
The IRR of this investment opportunity is 10%
The IRR rule says that you should not invest
Explanation:
To calculate the IRR of this investment opportunity we shall calculate the following:
Let the IRR be x.
Now , Present Value of Cash Outflows=Present Value of Cash Inflows
110,000 =121,000/(1.0x)
x= 10%
Hence, the IRR of this investment opportunity is 10%
Cost of Capital = 17%
The IRR rule says that one must not accept. This is because the IRR is lower than the cost of capital.
Hence you should not invest

Which of the following comes closest to the value at the end of year 6 of investing $600 today (year 0) and then investing another $600 at the end of year 5 if the interest rate is 3%?
a. $ 1,434
b. $ 1,334
c. $ 1,542
d. $ 1,383
e. $ 1,487
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Investment= $600 today and $600 at the end of year 5
Interest rate= 3%
To calculate the final value, we need to apply the following formula on each investment:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 600*(1.03^6)= $716.43
FV= 600*(1.03^1)= $618
Total FV= $1,334.43
State Street Beverage Company issues $805,000 of 9%, 10-year bonds on March 31, 2017. The bonds pay interest on March 31 and September 30. Which of the following statements is true?
A) If the market rate of interest is 10%, the bonds will issue at a premium.
B) If the market rate of interest is 10%, the bonds will issue at a discount.
C) If the market rate of interest is 10%, the bonds will issue at par.
D) If the market rate of interest is 10%, the bonds will issue above par.
Answer:
Option (B) If the market rate of interest is 10%, the bonds will issue at a discount
Explanation:
Interest rate risk is defined as the risk changing which, interest rates will affect bond prices. When current interest rates are greater than a bond's coupon rate, the bond will be sold below its face value at a discount. When interest rates are less than the coupon rate, the bond can be sold at a premium--higher than the face value.
Montclair Company earns an average contribution margin ratio of 40% on its sales. The local store manager estimates that he can increase monthly sales volume by $45,000 by spending an additional $7,000 per month for direct mail advertising. Compute the monthly increase in operating income if the manager's estimate about the increased sales volume is accurate.
Answer:
$11,000
Explanation:
The computation of the monthly increase in operating income is shown below:
= Sales volume × contribution margin ratio - additional spending done on the direct mail advertising
= $45,000 × 40% - $7,000
= $18,000 - $7,000
= $11,000
We simply applied the above formula so that the monthly increase in operating income could be determined.
A company's beginning Work in Process inventory consisted of 21,500 units that were 20% complete with respect to direct labor. These beginning units were completed and another 92,400 units were started during the current period. Of those started, 61,500 were finished and the remaining 30,900 were 40% complete at the end of the period. Using the weighted-average method, the equivalent units of production with regard to direct labor were:
Answer:95,360 units.
Explanation:The equivalent unit of production shows the quantity of work done by a manufacturing company on units of output partially completed at the end of a period.
Equivalent units of production =Units completed(work n progress at beginning + finished goods)+Ending work in progess
=(21,500+61, 500)+(30,900×40%)
=83,000 + 12,360
=95,360 units.
The equivalent units of production for conversion is 95,000 units.
Among the 1,000 policyholders of the auto insurance company, 400 are classified as low-risk drivers and 600 are classified as high-risk drivers. In each month, the probability of zero accidents for high-risk drivers is 0.80 and the probability of zero accidents for low-risk drivers is 0.90. Calculate the expected bonus payment from the insurer to the 1000 policy
Answer:
50,400
Explanation:
We are required to
Calculate the expected bonus payment from the insurer to the 1000 policyholders in one year:
X = case of 0 accident
E[X] = 400 x P(X | low risk) + 600 x P (X | high risk)
= (400 x 0.9) + (600 x 0.8)
= 840
Expected bonus = 840 x 5 dollars x 12 months
= 50400
The demand curve for the new computer game, Rock and Roll Trivia, is given as follows: Q = 200 - 5P - .1Pc - .5Pd + .2A - I Where P is the price of the game, Pc is the price of a computer, Pd is the price of a diskette, A is the level of advertising, and Q is the level of income. Suppose P = 10, Pc = 100, Pd = 2, A = 5, and I = 50. What is the price elasticity of demand?
Answer:
Income elasticity of demand = - 0.56
Explanation:
Given,
P=10, Pc=100, Pd=2, A=5, and I=50.
So,
Q=200-5(10)-.1(100)-.5(2)+.2(5)-(50).
Q=90 (level of income)
Computation:
Given , I = 50, Q = 90.
ΔQ / ΔI = -1
Income elasticity of demand = (ΔQ / ΔI) x (I / Q)
Income elasticity of demand = - 1 x (50 / 90)
Income elasticity of demand = - 0.56

Exhibit 9-1 Refer to Exhibit 9-1. If the economy is self-regulating, the price level is:_________.
a) lower in short-run equilibrium than in long-run equilibrium.
b) lower in long-run equilibrium than in short-run equilibrium.
c) higher in long-run equilibrium than in short-run equilibrium.
d) lower when the economy is in a recessionary gap than when it is in long-run equilibrium.
e) a and c
Answer: b) lower in long-run equilibrium than in short-run equilibrium.
Explanation:
A self regulating economy will try to move to the long run Equilibrium.
From the graph attached you will notice that the Price Level at the point where the Long Run Curve intersects with the Aggregate Demand curve is lower than the point where the Short Run Supply curve intersects with the same Aggregate Supply.
This means that Prices in the long term at equilibrium will be less than prices in the short term at Equilibrium should the Economy be a self regulating type that will move towards a long term Equilibrium.
On July 8, Jones Inc. issued an $62,900, 9%, 120-day note payable to Miller Company. Assume that the fiscal year of Jones ends on July 31. Using the 360-day year, what is the amount of interest expense recognized by Jones in the current fiscal year

Answer the question based on the accompanying list of items related to aggregate demand or aggregate supply. A change in which factor is most likely to change both aggregate demand and aggregate supply?
Answer:
Business Taxes.
Explanation:
A change in business taxes is most likely to change both aggregate demand and aggregate supply.
Aggregate demand can be defined as the total amount of goods and services by consumers at a specific period of time and price level in an economy.
Aggregate supply can be defined as the total amount of goods and services an organization is willing to sell or provide to it's consumers at a specific price level.
When business taxes are imposed on businesses, such as manufacturing companies, these in turn affect the demand and supply framework (final goods and services).
Basically, business taxes causes shifts in demand and supply, which in turn affect the price and quantity of goods and services in an economy.
Hence, companies would either be forced to cut-down on the amount of goods and services provided, result to borrowing or downsizing their manpower. As a result of this, they won't be able to meet the demands of their consumers.

Andrew Manufacturing held an average inventory of $1.1 million (raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods) last year. Its sales were $8.0 million, and its cost of goods sold was $5.8 million. The firm operates 260 days a year. What is the inventory day’s supply? What target inventory level is necessary to reach a 20- and 10-day inventory days supply during the next two years?
Answer:
The Inventory day's supply is 49.3 days supply
The Target inventory level to reach a 20-day inventory days supply is $ 0.446 million
The Target inventory level to reach a 10-day inventory days supply is $ 0.223 million
Explanation:
In order to calculate the inventory day’s supply we would have to calculate the following:
Inventory day's supply = (Average inventory / Cost of goods sold) * 260 days a year
Inventory day's supply = 1.1/5.8)*260
Inventory day's supply = 49.3 days supply
To calculate the target inventory level necessary to reach a 20- and 10-day inventory days supply during the next two years we would have to calculate the following:
Target inventory level to reach a 20-day inventory days supply = (20/260)*5.8 = $ 0.446 million
Target inventory level to reach a 10-day inventory days supply = (10/260)*5.8 = $ 0.223 million
