Answer: must offer higher
Explanation:
The financial world of investment is inter-correlated and products can sometimes be substitutes for one another. What this means is that if one financial product is not offering enough return on investment or is risky or for any other reason shakes their confidence in it, then investors tend to run to financial products that are perceived as better.
This is why when interest rates are stable and stocks are volatile, stock markets tend to lose value and bond markets sometimes gain value as investors leave the stock market and come to the bond market.
In the scenario described, the interest rate in the money market is 5%. If interest bearing financial assets are only at 2%, investors will leave/ not invest in those interest bearing bonds because the rate is lower. The sellers of such assets will therefore have to make them more attractive by increasing the the interest rates to find willing buyers.
Section 103 of the Federal Public Works Employment Act establishes the Minority Business Enterprise program and requires that, absent a waiver by the secretary of commerce, 10 percent of all federal grants given by the Economic Development Administration be used to purchase services or supplies from businesses owned and controlled by U.S. citizens belonging to one of six minority groups: African Americans, Spanish speaking, Asian, Native American, Eskimo, and Aleut. White owners of business contend the Act constitutes illegal reverse discrimination. Discuss.
Explanation:
Looking from a fair point of view, the White owners of businesses have legitimate reasons to feel that the Act constitutes illegal reverse discrimination.
Remember, reverse discrimination implies an unfair treatment of the majority group (White owners) in an effort to please the minority group. This is evident from the fact that the 10 percent of all federal grants to be released by the Economic Development Administration was only to be used to purchase services or supplies from businesses owned and controlled by U.S. citizens belonging to one of six minority groups excluding the White business owners; making the White owners feel discriminated against.
Thus, unintentionally the Act became a reverse discrimination on White business owners.
A firm has sales of $1,140, net income of $218, net fixed assets of $528, and current assets of $284. The firm has $93 in inventory. What is the common-size balance sheet value of inventory
Answer:
The answer is 11.45%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Firm sales = $1,140
The net income = $218
Net fixed assets = $528
The firm's inventory = $93
The next step is to find the common-size balance sheet value of inventory
Now,
The common size value of inventory would be value of inventory divided by total value of assets.
So,
Total assets=current assets+net fixed assets
=$528+$284 = $812
Therefore,
The common size value of inventory = inventory/Total assets
$93/$812
=11.45%
At the Millbrook High School cafeteria, students proceed along a series of stations in a single line: (1) get tray and utensils, (2) choose food, (3) select beverage, (4) pay. The school is concerned that students are taking too long to get their meal. The school has analyzed the capacities of each of the four steps in isolation and found there exists sufficient capacity at each resource in isolation. Which of the following is most likely to be causing the congestion?a. The bottleneck is probably at the last station because capacity is reduced the most when the bottleneck is at the end of the process. b. The implied utilization of the bottleneck is too low. c. Due to variability in processing times, both blocking and starving could be occurring. d. The process must be demand-constrained. e. The stations have similar utilizations.
Answer:
c. Due to variability in processing times, both blocking and starving could be occurring.
Explanation:
The problem here is that students take a long time to get their meal. It is understood that at each of the four stations there is ample space and so the most likely cause of delays is different processing times at four stations.
The problem of either blocking or starving arises when the processing times are very small or very large at one or two of the stations, which will significantly increase the cycle time of the operation.
hence, the correct option is c.
The company has just hired a new marketing manager who insists that unit sales can be dramatically increased by dropping the selling price from $8 to $7. The marketing manager would like to use the following projections in the budget:

a. What are the total expected cash collections for the year under this revised budget?
b. What is the total required the production for the year under this revised budget?
c. What is the total cost of raw materials to be purchased for the year under this revised budget?
d. What are the total expected cash disbursements for raw materials for the year under this revised budget?
e. After seeing this revised budget, the production manager cautioned that due to the current production constraint, a complex milling machine, the plant can produce no more than 80,000 units in any one quarter. Is this a potential problem?
Answer:
a. What are the total expected cash collections for the year under this revised budget?
65 + 236.25 + 78.75 + 367.5 + 122.5 + 551.25 + 183.75 + 367.5 = 1,972.5 x $1,000 = $1,972,500
b. What is the total required production for the year under this revised budget?
52.5 + 80.5 + 94.5 + 76 = 303.5 x 1,000 = 303,500 units
c. What is the total cost of raw materials to be purchased for the year under this revised budget?
237 + 367.5 + 507.5 + 360 = 1,472 x 1,000 = 1,472,000 pounds x $0.80 = $1,177,600
d. What are the total expected cash disbursements for raw materials for the year under this revised budget?
195.26 + 252.24 + 361.2 + 330.4 = 1,139.1 x $1,000 = $1,139,100
e. After seeing this revised budget, the production manager cautioned that due to the current production constraint, a complex milling machine, the plant can produce no more than 80,000 units in any one quarter. Is this a potential problem?
No, since total budgeted sales for the year are 303,500 units, which divided by 4 quarters = 75,875 units per quarter. All you need to do is increase quarter 1 production by 15,000 units, and that would satisfy quarters 2 and 3 needs.

Indigo Company issues 11,300 shares of restricted stock to its CFO, Mary Tokar, on January 1, 2020. The stock has a fair value of $565,000 on this date. The service period related to this restricted stock is 5 years. Vesting occurs if Tokar stays with the company until December 31, 2024. The par value of the stock is $10. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of the stock is $396,000.
Required:

Cooperton Mining just announced it will cut its dividend from $4.17 to $2.56 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior to the announcement, Cooperton's dividends were expected to grow at a 3.3 % rate, and its share price was $50.47. With the planned expansion, Cooperton's dividends are expected to grow at a 46% rate. What share price would you expect after the announcement? (Assume that the new expansion does not change Cooperton's risk). Is the expansion a good investment?
Answer: New share price= Price = $35.38. No, it's not a good investment
Explanation:
First, we have to calculate the cost of equity.
Price = Dividend/r - g
Dividend = $4.17 × (1 + 3.3%)
= $4.17 × (1 + 0.033)
= $4.17 × 1.033
= $4.30761
Price = Dividend/r - g
50.47 = 4.30761/r - 0.033
r - 0.033 = 4.30761/50.47
r - 0.033 = 0.08535
r = 0.08535 + 0.033
r = 0.11835
Now, we have to calculate the new price with dividend of $2.56 and g= 4.6%.
Price = Dividend/r - g
Price = 2.56/0.11835 - 0.046
Price = 2.56/0.07235
Price = $35.38
The expansion isn't a good investment because the stock price is s reduced from $50.47 to $35.38
You own a portfolio that has a total value of $210,000 and it is invested in Stock D with a beta of .87 and Stock E with a beta of 1.38. The beta of your portfolio is equal to the market beta. What is the dollar amount of your investment in Stock D
Answer:
The dollar amount of the investment in Stock D is (x=$156470.59)
Explanation:
Let assume investment in Stock D = $x
Hence investment in Stock E = (210,000-x)
Portfolio beta=Respective betas * Respective investment weights
1= (x/210,000*0.87) + (210,000-x) /210,000*1.38[Beta of market=1]
(1*210,000) = 0.87x + 289800 -1.38x
290,000=0.87x+289800-1.38x
Hence x=(289800-210,000)/(1.38-0.87)
x= 79,800 / 0.51
x=156470.5882
x=$156470.59
Freya Co. has two patents that have allegedly been infringed by competitors. After investigation, legal counsel informed Freya that it had a weak case for Patent A34 and a strong case in regard to Patent B19. Freya incurred additional legal fees to stop infringement on Patent B19. Both patents have a remaining legal life of 8 years. How should Freya account for these legal costs incurred relating to the two patents?
Answer:
Freya needs to expense costs for Patent A34 and capitalize costs for Patent B19.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described it can be said that Freya needs to expense costs for Patent A34 and capitalize costs for Patent B19. That is because a successful defense of a patent needs to be capitalized and amortized since you can now monetize and recover the costs incurred as well as make a profit off of the patent. On the other hand, unsuccessful defense of a patent needs to be expensed as incurred since that patent cannot be used to make money and recover costs.

Variable expenses 32,800 6,950 39,750
Contribution margin $73,200 $46,050 119,250
Fixed expenses 82,575
Net operating income $36,675
Requirement:
1: Compute the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company.
2: Compute the overall break-even point for the company in sales dollars.
3: Verify the overall break-even point for the company by constructing a contribution format income statement showing the appropriate levels of sales for the two products.
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of overall contribution margin ratio is shown below:-
Overall contribution margin ratio = Total contribution ÷ Total sales
= $119,250 ÷ $159,000
= 75%
2. The computation of overall break-even point for the company in sales is shown below:-
Overall Break even = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin
= $82,575 ÷ 75%
= $110,100
3. The overall break-even point for the company by constructing a contribution format income statement showing the appropriate levels of sales for the two products is shown below:-
here, Sales at Break even in the ratio will be 2:1

Samantha and Adam own a gardening business together. They each pull weeds from flower beds and rake up leaves for their neighbors. If each decides to specialize in what they are best at, Samantha will
a.weed and Adam will rake because these are the goods each has a comparative advantage in.
b.rake and Adam will weed because these are the goods each has a comparative advantage in.
c.weed and Adam will rake because these are the goods each has an absolute advantage in.
d.rake and Adam will weed because these are the goods each has an absolute advantage in.
Answer:
The correct option is A, Samantha weed and Adam will rake because these are the goods each has a comparative advantage in.
Explanation:
The opportunity formula comes handy in this case, which is given below:
opportunity cost formula=what one sacrifices/what one gains
If Samantha were to weed flower beds, opportunity cost is computed thus:
Opportunity cost of Samantha weeding flower beds=8/4= 2 bags of leaves raked
The opportunity of Adam weeding flower beds=25/5 =5 bags of leaves raked.
In a nutshell ,if Samantha weeds flowers they would lose 2 bags of leaves raked while if Adam were to do so same, they would lose 5 bags of leaves raked, conclusively Samantha should weed flower beds since she has lower opportunity, higher comparative advantage

Consider each of the following independent scenarios:a.Terrin Belson, plant manager for the laser printer factory of Compugear Inc., brushed his hair back and sighed. December had been a bad month. Two machines had broken down, and some factory production workers (all on salary) were idled for part of the month. Materials prices increased, and insurance premiums on the factory increased. No way out of it; costs were going up. He hoped that the marketing vice president would be able to push through some price increases, but that really wasn’t his department.b. Joanna Pauly was delighted to see that her ROI figures had increased for the third straight year. She was sure that her campaign to lower costs and use machinery more efficiently (enabling her factories to sell several older machines) was the reason why. Joanna planned to take full credit for the improvements at her semiannual performance review.c. Gil Rodriguez, sales manager for ComputerWorks, was not pleased with a memo from headquarters detailing the recent cost increases for the laser printer line. Headquarters suggested raising prices. "Great," thought Gil, "an increase in price will kill sales and revenue will go down. Why can’t the plant shape up and cut costs like every other company in America is doing? Why turn this into my problem?"d. Susan Whitehorse looked at the quarterly profit and loss statement with disgust. Revenue was down, and cost was up—what a combination! Then she had an idea. If she cut back on maintenance of equipment and let a product engineer go, expenses would decrease—perhaps enough to reverse the trend in income.e. Shonna Lowry had just been hired to improve the fortunes of the Southern Division of ABC Inc. She met with top staff and hammered out a 3-year plan to improve the situation. A centerpiece of the plan is the retiring of obsolete equipment and the purchasing of state-of-the-art, computer-assisted machinery. The new machinery would take time for the workers to learn to use, but once that was done, waste would be virtually eliminated.Required:For each of the above independent scenarios, indicate the type of responsibility center involved (cost, revenue, profit, or investment).
Answer: a. Cost center b. Investment center. c. Revenue center d. Profit center. d. Investment center.
Explanation:
a. Cost center
We are informed that Terrin Belson, a plant manager for the laser printer factory of Compugear Inc., complained that two machines had broken down, and some factory production workers were idled for part of the month. He also complained that materials prices has and insurance premiums on the factory has increased and costs were going up.
The responsibility center involved here is the cost center. Everything he was complaining about was with regards to the rise on costs of running the company. Therefore, the cost center should be in charge.
b. Investment center
We are told that Joanna Pauly was delighted to see that her ROI figures had increased for the third straight year as she was sure that her campaign to lower costs and efficiently use of machinery was the reason for this.
This is the responsibility of the investment center. We can see that Joanna is talking about the increase in the return on investment. Therefore, the investment center should be responsible to handle this.
c. Revenue center
From the information, we are told that Gil Rodriguez, sales manager for ComputerWorks, was not pleased with a memo from headquarters detailing recent cost increases for the laser printer line. The headquarters suggested that increase in prices will kill sales and that the revenue will go down.
The responsibility center involved in this situation is the revenue center. We can see that the headquarters was concerned that the increase will in price will affect revenue as the revenue will reduce. This is the revenue center in charge.
d. Profit center
We are told that Susan Whitehorse looked at the quarterly profit and loss statement with disgust as the revenue was down, and the cost was up. The responsibility center in charge here is the profit center as the main issue of discussion is about the profit and loss of the company.
e. Investment center
We are told that Shonna Lowry had just been hired to improve the fortunes of the Southern Division of ABC Inc. and that after meeting with top staff, she gave out a 3-year plan to improve the situation as obsolete equipment will be retired and the state-of-the-art, computer-assisted machinery will be bought.
This is an investment because she told the firm to buy state-of-the-art, computer-assisted machinery will be bought in order to improve their fortunes. The responsibility center involved is the investment center.
compare and contrast the Reference Theory of meaning and the Idea Theory of meaning and explain how best each of them can be used to explain the term deadly virus .
Answer:
Check Explanation.
Explanation:
The concept of " Reference Theory of meaning " and the "Idea Theory of meaning " are very important in the aspect that concerns the use of language for expression and language semantics.
The SIMILARITIES BETWEEN " Reference Theory of meaning " and the "Idea Theory of meaning ";
=> They are both used in the Explanation of meaning that is to say in semantics.
=> They are both defined through "action''
The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN " Reference Theory of meaning " and the "Idea Theory of meaning " :
(1). The term "Reference Theory of meaning" simply means that every word has a particular reference or label.
For instance now;
=> Ebola Virus is deadly.
=> Stomach ache is deadly.
The Ebola Virus is the label for the micro-organism, deadly denotes how the virus kills and the " Ebola Virus is deadly" denotes the sentence.
The first sentence "Ebola Virus is deadly" is right as this sentence makes reference to Ebola virus that is being used in the determination of how true a sentence is.
SUMMARY: ALL WORDS SYMBOLIZES SOMETHING IN REAL LIFE AND THEY ARE USED IN THE DETERMINATION OF WHAT IS TRUE AND WHAT IS WRONG OR WHAT HAS VALUE.
The disadvantage is that it can not be used in the expression for that are abstract.
(2). Idea Theory of meaning simply refers to meaning BASED ON IDEAS and not what it actually means in REAL LIFE SCENARIO.
Its disadvantage is that mental images or ideas differ from one individual to the other.
During the current year, the following manufacturing activity took place for a company's products. The beginning work in process, 70% complete, was comprised of 10,000 units. Units started into production during the year totaled 150,000 units. A total of 140,000 units were completed during the year. The ending work in process, 25% complete, was comprised of 20,000 units. What was the number of equivalent units using the FIFO method
Answer:
Equivalent units= 145,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The beginning work in process, 70% complete, was comprised of 10,000 units. Units started into production during the year totaled 150,000 units. A total of 140,000 units were completed during the year. The ending work in process, 25% complete, was comprised of 20,000 units.
We need to use the following structure:
Beginning work in process = beginning inventory* %incompleted
Units started and completed = units completed - beginning WIP
Ending work in process completed= Ending WIP* %completed
=Number of equivalent units
Beginning work in process = 10,000*0.3= 3,000
Units started and completed = 140,000 - 3,000= 137,000
Ending work in process completed= 20,000*0.25= 5,000
=145,000 units
The Work in Process Inventory account of a manufacturing company has a $7,728 debit balance. The company applies overhead using direct labor cost. The cost sheet of the only job still in process shows direct material cost of $2,800 and direct labor cost of $1,600. Therefore, the company's predetermined overhead rate is:
Answer:
The company's predetermined overhead rate is 208%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the company's predetermined overhead rate we would have to calculate first the Overhead applied as follows:
o verhead applied=Work in process balance-Direct Material-Direct Labor
o verhead applied=$7,728-$2,800-$1,600
o verhead applied=$3,328
Therefore, Overhead application rate = $3,328/$1,600= 217%
Overhead application rate =208%
The company's predetermined overhead rate is 208%
Answer:
208%
Explanation:
Work In Progress= Direct materials + Direct labor+ Over Head
$7,728 = $2,800 + $1,600 + OH
$7,728=$4,400
$7,728-$4,400
OH=$3,328
OH rate = $3,328/$1,600
= 208%
The Nelson Company has $1,750,000 in current assets and $700,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $490,000, and it will raise funds as additional notes payable and use them to increase inventory. How much can Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) increase without pushing its current ratio below 1.9? Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ What will be the firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
(a) Short-term debt can increase by a maximum of $466,666.67 without pushing its current ratio below 1.9
(b) The firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds is 1.34
Explanation:
Current assets = $1,750,000
Current liabilities = $700,000
Initial inventory level = $490,000
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= $1,750,000 ÷ $700,000 = 2.5
1.9 = (Current assets + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]) ÷ (Current liabilities + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex])
1.9 = ($1,750,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]) ÷ ($700,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex])
1.9 × ($700,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]) = ($1,750,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex])
$1,330,000 + [tex]1.9\Delta{NP[/tex] = $1,750,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]
[tex]0.9\Delta{NP[/tex] = $1,750,000 - $1,330,000
[tex]\Delta{NP[/tex] = $466,666.67
Short-term debt can increase by a maximum of $466,666.67 without pushing its current ratio below 1.9
Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories) ÷ Current liabilities
= $937,500 ÷ $700,000
= 1.34

Answer:
Whelan, Inc.
The cash flow to stockholders for the year is $159,000, representing the cash dividends paid during 2019.
Explanation:
Cash flow to stockholders is the amount of cash that a company pays out to its shareholders, usually in the form of cash dividends. Mainly, cash flows to stockholders in two major ways: dividends and stock price increases when shares are sold. Dividends are cash flows to stockholders from the company. These are usually determined by the board of directors. Stock price increases are cash flows to stockholders from the stock exchange market. They are determined by the company's performance and the sentiments of the investors in an open market with reference to the company's financial performance and position.
Insurance companies facilitate the transfer of risk from Multiple Choice those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance. insurance policyholders to the government. those who have a high-risk tolerance to those with low risk-tolerance. the insurance companies' owners to the insurance policyholders.
Answer:
Those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance.
Explanation:
In Insurance, risk tolerance refers to the willingness of an individual or organization to take a risk in business transactions in order to get a potentially positive reward.
Simply stated, risk tolerance in insurance is the willingness of an insured individual to increase his or her Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs) or deductibles by the insurer. For instance, the high risk associated with investments such as stocks, high-yield bonds, is often perceived by investors to be worth the higher reward such investment brings.
Insurance companies facilitate the transfer of risk from those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance. The transfer of risk in insurance refers to the process whereby an individual or entity pay premiums to an insurer for the purpose of mitigating potential losses or liabilities.
Generally, insurance companies across the globe charge millions of their customers (insured) premiums every year. This gives them the privilege of having a pool of cash which can be used to cover the cost of losses and destruction to the asset of a small fraction or percentage of its customers.
This simply means that, since insurance companies collect premium from all of their customers for losses which may or may not occur, so they can easily use this cash to compensate or indemnify for losses incurred by those having high risk.
Minor Company installs a machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $135,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 300,000 units of product, with a $15,000 salvage value. During its first year, the machine produces 64,500 units of product. Determine the machines' first year depreciation under the units-of-production method.
Answer:
$25,800
Explanation:
The units-of-production deprecation method depreciates an asset based on the total units produced each year.
Unit of production depreciation expense = (units produced / total expected units of production) × (cost of asset - salvage value)
(64,500 / 300,000) x ($135,000 - $15,000)
0.215 x $120,000 = $25,800

Based on experience from its other retail outlets, Home Corporation is making the following sales projections: Cash Sales Credit Sales January $60,000 $40,000 February $30,000 $50,000 March $40,000 $60,000 April $40,000 $80,000 Home Corporation estimates that 70% of the credit sales will be collected in the month following the month of sale, with the balance collected in the second month following the month of sale. In a cash budget for April, the total cash receipts will be:
Answer:
$97,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total cash receipts for the month of April is shown below:
= Cash sales in April + (Credit sales in February × following second month percentage) + (Credit sales in March x following month percentage)
= $40,000 + ($50,000 x 30%) + ($60,000 x 70%)
= $40,000 + $15,000 + $42,000
= $97,000
We simply added the cash sales for one month and the credit sales for two months so that the total cash receipts could come
Insect control devices must and be able to retain the electrocuted insects inside the device
Answer:
Be rated for safety by the USDA
Explanation:
Presence of insect pest around areas of food production poses a lot of risk such as contamination of food which might impact negatively on public health. However, in an attempt to control these insect pests, the problem of food contamination as a result of insect infestation that we're trying to solve might still be increased if safety measures are not strictly adhered to when manufacturing and using insect control devices.
Hence, it is necessary and of utmost importance that insect control devices must be rated for safety by USDA to ensure compliance with laid down measures and protocols for safe control of insect without contamination of food.
