Answer:
Machine setup= $60 per setup
Machining= $15 per machine hour
Inspections= $50 per inspection
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead costs:
Machine setup= 150,000
Machining= 375,000
Inspections= 87,500
The cost driver for each activity and the expected annual usage are number of setups 2,500, machine hours 25,000, and number of inspections 1,750.
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 150,000/2,500= $60 per setup
Machining= 375,000/25,000= $15 per machine hour
Inspections= 87,500/1,750= $50 per inspection
Which of the following statements is true? In market equilibrium:
a. There are uncomsummated wealth destroying transactions
b. There are unconsummated value creating transactions
c. None of these
d. There are no unconsummated wealth creating transactins
Answer: d. There are no unconsummated wealth creating transactions
Explanation:
In an equilibrium, a price has been reached that everyone is satisfied with. This is why there are no unconsummated wealth creating transactions.
The market has managed to bring together people who are want a certain good more than they will pay for it and sellers who value the good less than they will receive for it. The Equilibrium therefore sets a price that is fair on both these people which will mean that they will not be able to unfairly trade with one another. The person who values the good more than they can pay will be able to pay the person who values the goods less than they will receive. Equilibrium has brought them to a middle ground.
A company would like to produce 5000 products per week for 30 weeks. The Direct Material Cost for the raw materials used in the product is $1.50 per product. After producing 500 products, the company must stop production to replace a filter on the machine (the filter is replaced after producing every 500 products). The filter costs $50.00. What is the Total Cost Per Product
Answer:
Total Cost Per Product is $1.60
Explanation:
From the question the following information are derived:
Direct raw material cost per product = $1.50
The cost of the filter for producing 500 products = $50
Hence, the cost of the filter per product = $(50 / 500) = $0.10
In this question, No cost of labor is given, we can now decide the following
Total Cost per product = $(1.50 + 0.10)
= $1.60
Total Cost Per Product in this account is $1.60
If a company would like to produce 5000 products per week for 30 weeks. The Direct Material Cost for the raw materials used in the product is $1.50 per product. The Total Cost Per Product is $1.60.
Using this formula
Total cost per product=Direct raw material cost per product +( Filter costs/Production)
Where:
Direct raw material cost per product = $1.50
Costs of filter =$50
Production=500
Let plug in the formula
Total cost per product=$1.50+($50 / 500)
Total cost per product=$1.50+$0.10
Total cost per product=$1.60
Inconclusion if a company would like to produce 5000 products per week for 30 weeks. The Direct Material Cost for the raw materials used in the product is $1.50 per product. The Total Cost Per Product is $1.60.

You are given the following information concerning a noncallable, sinking fund debenture: Principal: $1,000 Coupon rate of interest: 7 percent Term to maturity: 15 years Sinking fund: 5 percent of outstanding bonds retired annually; the balance at maturity If you buy the bond today at its face amount and interest rates rise to 12 percent after three years have passed, what is your capital gain or loss
Answer:
Explanation:
A) If you buy the bond today at its face amount and interest rates rise to 12% after three years have passed what is your capital gain or loss?
B) If you hold the bond 15 years what do you recive at maturity?
C) What is the bond current yield as of right now?
D) Given your price in a, what is the yield of maturity
E) Is there any reason to believe that the bond will be called after three years have elapsed if interest rates decline
F) what proportion of the total debt issue is retired by the sinking fund
G) What assets secure this bond?
h) If the final payment to retire this bond is $1,000,000 how much must the firm invest to accumulate this sum if the firm is able to earn 7% on the invest funds.
A) If the interest rates rise to 12%, the price of the bond assuming semi-annual interest payments, will be
1000*pvif(6,24) + 35*pvifa(6,24)
= 1000*0.2470 +35*12.5504
= 247 + 439.26 = $686.26
The capital gain would be 1000 - 686.26 = $313.74.
B) Bond face value is $1000 and coupon rate is 7%. Half yearly interest = 1000*7%/2 = $35.
Maturity value of $1000, plus half yearly interest of $35.
C) The bonds current yield = 7%, assuming the price of the bond is $1000 today.
D) The yield to maturity is 12%.
E) No, the bonds are not callable.
F) 5% of the bonds are retired every year. So 14 years * 5 = 70%. Balance 30% is paid full at EOY 15.
5%*14 = 70%.
G) Debentures are not secured by any specific asset.
H) It is not specified as to how the money would be invested; whether its a
lump sum invested on day 0 or equal amounts invested at each year end
If it a lump sum to be invested now, the amount should be 1000000/107^15 = $362,446
If it in equal amounts to be invested each year end the annual investments is given by 1,000,000/fvifa(7,15)
= 1000000/25.1290
= $3979.
A bond was issued three years ago at a price of $1,050 with a maturity of six years, a yield-to-maturity (YTM) of 6.50% compounded semi-annually, and a face value of $1,000 with semi-annualy coupons. What is the price of this bond today immediately after the receipt of today's coupon if the YTM has risen to 7.75% compounded semi-annually
Answer:
$967.20
Explanation:
the YTM formula = {coupon + [(face value - present value)/time]} / [(face value + present value)/2]
to determine the coupon rate we fill the equation with the known factors:
0.065 = {coupon + [(1,000 - 1,050)/12]} / [(1,000 + 1,050)/2]
0.065 = (coupon - 41.67) / 1,025
66.625 = coupon - 4.167
coupon = 66.625 + 4.167 = $70.792
three years later, the YTM = 7.5%, what is the PV? Again we use the YTM formula:
0.0775 = {70.792 + [(1,000 - x)/6]} / [(1,000 + x)/2]
0.0775(500 + 0.5x) = 70.792 + 166.67 - 0.1667x
38.75 + 0.03875x = 237.462 - 0.1667x
0.20545x = 198.712
x = 198.712 / .20545
x = $967.20
California Surf Clothing Company issues 1,000 shares of $1 par value common stock at $32 per share. Later in the year, the company decides to Purchase 100 shares at a cost of $35 per share. Record the transaction if California Surf resells the 100 shares of treasury stock at $37 per share
Answer:
Debit= $3,700
Credit= $200
Credit= $3,500
Explanation:
The following transactions are recorded in California Surf clothing company
1) Cash debit is acquired through the reissuance of 100 shares of treasury stock at the rate of $37 per share
= $37 per share × 100 shares
= $3,700
2) Credit from the additional paid in capital
= $37 per share - $35 per share
= $2 per share × 100 shares
= $200
3) Credit gotten from the required stock
= $3,700 - $200
= $3,500
An increase in savings by consumers is seen as a(n):_________.
a. decrease in investment spending in the economy increase in government spending in the economy.
b. decrease in exports in the economy.
c. increase in imports in the economy.
d. leakage in spending in the economy.
Answer:
d. leakage in spending in the economy.
Explanation:
In the economy firms spend money on labour, input, and business expansion. While in the personal household there is spending on food, rent, and other expenses.
When money is taken out of this cycle and not used for a particular purpose then it is considered to be a leakage.
Leakages include taxes savings and imports.
Savings occurs when an individual has excess income and decides to reserve some for a future use. This fund does not have a particular use in the economy so it is considered to be a leakage.
Answer:
D. Leakage in spending in the economy.
Explanation:
It is observed that if consumers have a rise in their wages, they tend to benefit and this helps the economic situation of the said country or nation as seen in some economies of the world lately. Also alteration in interest rates can have different consumer effects which ranges from spending habits depending on a number of factors to other habits that may end up boosting the economy also current rate levels, expected future rate changes, confidence of the consumer, and the overall health of the economy.
Billy owns one share of Disney stock. He purchased the share 3 years ago for $15. Disney stock is currently trading for $30 per share. The stock has paid the following dividends over the past three years: year 1, $1.00; year 2, $2.00; year 3, $3.00. What is the compounded rate of return (IRR) that Billy has earned on his investment
Answer:
35.8%
Explanation:
purchase price 3 years ago $15, so CF₀ = -15
CF₁ = $1
CF₂ = $2
CF₃ = $3 + $30 = $33
using an excel spreadsheet (or you can also a financial calculator), you must determine the internal rate of return (IRR) = 35.8%
the IRR is the interest rate where NPV = 0, or the future cash flows equal the investment amount
In a certain economy, when income is $500, consumer spending is $375. The value of the multiplier for this economy is 5. It follows that, when income is $510, consumer spending is:________
a. $166.75
b. $175.00
c. $151.25
d. $170.20
Answer:
The options are wrong, if consumer spending is $375 when income is $500, it has to be higher if income increases (it cannot be lower).
Consumer spending at $510 = $383
Explanation:
the economy's multiplier = 1 / MPS (marginal propensity to save)
5 = 1 / MPS
MPS = 1 / 5 = 0.2
MPC (marginal propensity to consume) = 1 - MPS = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8
consumer spending at $510 = consumer spending at $500 + [$510 - $500) x 0.8] = $375 + ($10 x 0.8) = $375 + $8 = $383
MPC measures how much consumer spending increases if total disposable income increases.

*Reintermediation takes place when Intermediaries provide only matching services between buyers and sellers. O Disintermediated entitles or newcomers take on new Intermediary roles O Intermediaries provide only relevant information about demand O Disintermediated entitles or newcomers take on existing intermediary roles O
Answer: Disintermediated entitles or newcomers take on new Intermediary roles
Explanation:
Disintermediation refers to, for example, stockbrokers who only execute trade manually being left behind because of the development of online transactions.
However, new developments might bring new intermediary roles. Following our example, brokers who turn to electronic intermediation (or newcomers who take on the new intermediary role) prosper through reintermediation
Masters Corp. issues two bonds with 20-year maturities. Both bonds are callable at $1,050. The first bond is issued at a deep discount with a coupon rate of 4% and a price of $580 to yield 8.4%. The second bond is issued at par value with a coupon rate of 8.75%.
a. What is the yield to maturity of the par bond? Why is it higher than the yield of the discount bond?
b. If you expect rates to fall substantially in the next two years, which bond has the higher expected rate of return?
c. In what sense does the discount bond offer "implicit call protection"?
Answer:
Explanation:
a)
The YTM of the bond at par value is equals to its coupon rate, 8.75%. Other things being equal, this 4% coupon rate bond will be more eye-catching as the coupon rate is lower than the current market yields, and its price is far below the call price. So, if yields drop, capital gains on the bond will not be restricted by the call price.
b)
If an investor foresees that yields will fall considerably, the 4% bond proposes a better expected return.
c)
Implicit call protection is offered in the sense that any likely fall in yields would not be nearly enough to make the firm consider calling the bond. In this sense, the call feature is almost irrelevant

Stitching and trimming 1,479,725 78,500 labor hours
Wrapping and packing 333,000 30,000 finished units
Compute the activity-based overhead rates using the following budgeted data for each of the activity cost pools.
Activity-based overhead rates
Designing $ per designer hour
Sizing and cutting $ per machine hour
Stitching and trimming $ per labor hour
Wrapping and packing $ per finished unit
Answer:
Designing = $32.50 per designer hour
Sizing and cutting = $23.50 per machine hour
Stitching and trimming = $18.85 per labor hour
Wrapping and packing = $11.10 per finished unit
Explanation:
The Activity Based Overhead Costing involves calculation of cost driver rate for each activity center.
Cost Driver Rate = Cost of Activity / Number of Times that Activity is Performed
Designing = $455,000 / 14,000
= $32.50
Sizing and cutting = $3,948,000 / 168,000
= $23.50
Stitching and trimming = $1,479,725 / 78,500
= $18.85
Wrapping and packing = $333,000 / 30,000
= $11.10

Explanation:
A bond with a 7-year duration is worth $1,079, and its yield to maturity is 7.9%. If the yield to maturity falls to 7.75%, you would predict that the new value of the bond will be approximately:_____________.
Answer:
$1,087.27
Explanation:
The new value of the bond is the new price of the bond calculated using yield to maturity of 7.75% instead of the original yield of 7.9% using excel pv formula provided thus:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
Before that we need to determine the pmt which is the annual coupon on the bond.
=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)
rate is the original yield ot 7.9%
nper is the duration of 7 years
pv is the initial market price of $1,079
fv is the face value of $1000
=pmt(7.9%,7,-1079,1000)=$ 94.12
The new price is computed thus:
=-pv(7.75%,7,94.12,1000)=$1,087.27
On January 1, 20x1, the ABC Corporation purchased 80% of the XYZ Company's voting stock for $3,000,000. The FMV of all of XYZ's stock was $4,025,000, and XYZ's net assets had a book value of $2,850,000; the fair values of XYZ's assets are equal to their book values, with the exception of land, which is $625,000 greater than its book value. Assuming that ABC Corporation used the acquisition method to prepare its consolidated balance sheet, how much goodwill was reported on the January 1, 20X1 consolidated balance sheet assuming that the "full goodwill" method is used?
Answer: $440000
Explanation:
Fair market value = $4025000
Book value of asset = $2,850,000
Land value = $625,000
The value of the goodwill will be
(Fair market value - book of asset - land value) × 80%
= ($4,025,000 - $2,850,000 - $625,000) × 80%
= 550000 × 80%
= 550000 × 0.8
= $440,000
Crowding out is associated with:
a. an increase in business investment resulting from an increase in government borrowing and higher interest rates.
b. a reduction in business investment resulting from an increase in government borrowing and higher interest rates.
c. an increase in private savings caused by higher future tax liabilities when government increases borrowing.
d. a decrease in government spending caused by a shortage of available credit.
Answer:
b. a reduction in business investment resulting from an increase in government borrowing and higher interest rates.
Explanation:
According to the crowding out theory, when there is an increase in government spending, private spending would be reduced.
When the government borrows, real interest rate would increase and this would reduce private sector spending.

Brooks Co. purchases debt investments as trading securities at a cost of $61,000 on December 27. This is its first and only purchase of such securities. At December 31, these securities had a fair value of $66,000.1. Prepare the December 27 entry for the purchase of debt investments.2. Prepare the December 31 year-end fair value adjusting entry for the trading securities' portfolio and the January 3 entry when Brooks sells a portion of its trading securities (costing $30,500) for $31,750 cash.
Answer:
Dr short-term investment-trading $61,000
Cr Cash $61,000
Dr fair value adjustment-trading $5,000
Cr unrealized gain $5,000
Dr cash $31,750
Cr short-term investment-trading $30,500
Cr realized gain on sale of short-term investment ($31,750-$30,500) $1,250
Explanation:
The cash paid for the purchase of trading securities would be credited with $61,000 while the debit goes to short-term investment-trading
The 31st December year-end fair value adjusting entry is $5,000 ($66,000-$61,000) unrealized gain which would be debited to fair value adjustment-trading securities while the credit goes to unrealized gain-trading securities.
The environmental protection agency of a county would like to preserve a piece of land as a wilderness area. The current owner has offered to lease the land to the county for 20 years in return for a lump-sum payment of $1.1 million, which would be paid at the beginning of the 20-year period. The agency has estimated that the land would generate $110,000 per year in benefits to hunters, bird watchers, and hikers. Assume that the lease price represents the social opportunity cost of the land and that the appropriate real discount rate is 4 percent.a. Assuming that the yearly benefits, which are measured in real dollars, accrue at the end of each of the 20 years, calculate the net benefits of leasing the land.b. Some analysts in the agency argue that the annual real benefits are likely to grow at a rate of 2 percent per year due to increasing population and county income. Recalculate the net benefits assuming that they are correct.c. Imagine that the current owner of the land was willing to sell the land for $2 million. Assuming this amount equaled the social opportunity cost of the land, calculate the net benefits if the county were to purchase the land as a permanent wildlife refuge. In making these calculations, first assume a zero annual growth rate in the $110,000 of annual real benefits; then assume that these benefits grow at a rate of 2 percent per year.
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Here , we are going to apply the present value of annuty formula.
a. Social Opportunity cost = $1.1 Million
The Yearly cash flows = $110,000
Time (n) = 20 years
The Discount rate (R) = 4%
Net benefits= Present value of cash inflows - the intial socail opportnity cost
Net benefits= Yearly cash flow × (1 - 1/(1+R)^n) / R - 1100000
Net benefits = 110000 × (1 - 1/1.04^20)/0.04 - (1100000)
= $394936
b. We will use the formula for present value of an annuity with the growth rate in benefits as 2 percent.
Firstly, dg= (0.04 - 0.02)/ (1+0.02)
= 0.01961
PV(benefits) = [($110,000)÷ (1+0.02)][1-(1+dg)-20]/dg]
= $1,770,045
NPV = $1,770,045 - $1,100,000= $670,045
Privacy:_______.
a. is an absolute value.
b. must be respected if we are to function as complete, self-governing agents.
c. is something that employees today don't care about.
d. is guaranteed by Article 3, section 3, of the Constitution.
Answer: b. must be respected if we are to function as complete, self-governing agents.
Explanation:
Privacy enables humans to be able to figure out who they are and what they want in life. By giving a person the right to privacy instead of interfering in their lives you are essentially giving them the power to make their own decisions and trusting them to do well with this right.
By respecting privacy therefore, humans are better able to function as complete and independent agents who can take charge of their own lives without having to worry about interference with the intent to influence.
T/F: Risk management, a formalized way of dealing with hazards, is the logical process of weighing the potential costs of risks against the possible benefits of allowing those risks to stand uncontrolled.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Remember, risk can be weighted using certain parameters to see whether the potential costs of those risks is lower or higher than the possible benefits of allowing those risks to stand uncontrolled.
What makes this a "logical process of thinking" is the fact that it involves a careful mental evaluation of the risk, by asking the what ifs questions about the risk.
Lisa loves her job as an executive recruiter for a large hospital located in Dallas, Texas. Part of Lisa's job requires her to gather industry information, collaborate with partners, compare competitors, and tap into the knowledge of prospective employees, partners, and customers. Which of the below would Lisa use to perform her job?
A. Interactivity metrics
B. Source code
C. Network effect
D. Collective intelligence
Answer:
D. Collective intelligence.
Explanation:
Collective intelligence is a concept under sociology, it refers to the process whereby groups of individuals or employees act or work collectively in ways that seem intelligent.
This simply means that, when intellectuals interact and sometimes compete with their colleagues, qualitative information are shared among the team and thus, they solve problems collectively as team members.
Hence, collective intelligence accords the team a greater chance to proffer solutions to problems, than they would have done if they were working independently and individually.
Since, Lisa's job requires her to gather industry information, collaborate with partners, compare competitors, and tap into the knowledge of prospective employees, partners, and customers.
Lisa should use collective intelligence to perform her job.
