Answer:
$925,000
Explanation:
The value of the land that would be included in the initial cost of the warehouse is it market value of $925,000 which the land currently commands.
The rationale for this are numerous:
Firstly,if the land was not previously owned by Shelton Co, would have to purchase a similar land at its market value.
Secondly, if the land was not deployed to the project, it could be sold now for cash at $925,000
Find the value of C, which makes the following two cash flow series equivalent. Assume that the market interest rate is 6% per year. Note: There are multiple approaches to solving this problem so be sure to consider the computational efficiencies of each approach before starting! $400 $400 $400 $400 $400 $125 $125 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 o 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 -$250 $250 $250
Answer:
Find attached complete question.
$ 750.10
Explanation:
In order to ascertain the value of C ,we need to equate the present value of the two streams of cash flows to each other as follows:
first stream:
$400/(1+6%)^1+$400/(1+6%)^2+$125/(1+6%)^3+$400/(1+6%)^4+$400/(1+6%)^5+$125/(1+6%)^6+$400/(1+6%)^7=$1,808.19
Second stream:
C/(1+6%)^1+C/(1+6%)^2-$250/(1+6%)^3-$250/(1+6%)^4-$250/(1+6%)^5+C/(1+6%)^6+C/(1+6%)^7
-$250/(1+6%)^3-$250/(1+6%)^4-$250/(1+6%)^5=-$594.74
C/(1+6%)^1+C/(1+6%)^2+C/(1+6%)^6+C/(1+6%)^7=C/0.9434+C/0.8900+C/ 0.7050+C/ 0.6651
simplification
C/0.9434+C/0.8900+C/ 0.7050+C/ 0.6651=C/(0.9434+0.8900+0.7050+0.6651)= 0.31216C
All in all:
$1,808.19 =-$594.74+ 0.31216C
$1,808.19+$594.74= 0.31216C
$2402.93 = 0.31216C
C=$2402.93* 0.31216 =$ 750.10

Here is the complete question:
friend and fellow student shares her employment experience over the last 12-week summer break. It took her one full week to find a job. She started on the first day of week two and was able to keep her job for the remaining eleven weeks. Use this information to answer the following three questions, assuming the unemployment rate is not changing:
1. Calculate the rate of job finding (f) for the summer, using an average rate per week. Enter this value in the box below. Note that if f is the rate of job finding, then the average spell of unemployment is (1/f).
The value of f is:
2. Calculate the rate of job separation (s), using an average rate per week. Enter this value into the box below. Note that if s is the rate of job separation, then the average length of employment is (1/s).
The value of s is:
3. Calculate the natural rate of unemployment (U) using the above results and enter this value in the box below.
The natural rate of unemployment (in percent) is
1. From the question, we can see that it was said that took her one full week to get a job over the last 12 week summer break. The unemployment rate will be 12.
The value of f is: 12
2. From the question, the average length of the employment is 11/12 weeks. The rate of job separation will be: s = 12weeks ÷ 11 weeks
s = 1.090
The value of s is: 1.090
3. The natural rate of unemployment will be:
U = s/(s+f)
= 1.090/(1.090 + 12)
= 1.090/13.090
= 0.08327

Answer:
Nominal rate = 5%
Explanation:
Given:
Require rate = 3%
Inflation rate = 2%
Find:
Nominal rate = ?
Computation:
⇒ Nominal rate = Require rate + Inflation rate
⇒ Nominal rate = 3% + 2%
⇒ Nominal rate = 5%
Therefore, The nominal rate she must charge is 5%
You have $13,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 13 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 8 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 11.45 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y
Answer:
You should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.
Explanation:
These can be estimated as follows:
PER = (ERX * wX) + (ERY * wY) ....................... (1)
Where,
PER = Portfolio expected return = 11.45%, or 0.1145
ERX = Expected return of X = 13%, or 0.13
ERY = Expected retun of Y = 8%, or 0.08
wX = Weight of X = ?
wY = Weight of Y = 1 - wX = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
0.1145 = [0.13 * wX] + [0.08 * (1 - wX)]
0.1145 = 0.13wX + [0.08 - 0.08wX]
0.1145 = 0.13wX + 0.08 - 0.08wX
0.1145 - 0.08 = 0.13wX - 0.08wX
0.0345 = 0.05wX
wX = 0.0345 / 0.05
wX = 0.69
Since wY = 1 - wX
Therefore,
wY = 1 - 0.69
wY = 0.31
Total amount to invest = $13,000
Investment in stock X = Amount to invest * 0.69 = $13,000 * 0.69 = $8,970
Investment in stock Y = Amount to invest * 0.31 = $13,000 * 0.31 = $4.030
Therefore, you should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.
Specialization and the gains from trade make the economy PPF outward bowed because _______. A. a good is initially produced by producers with higher opportunity costs and eventually produced by producers with lower opportunity costs B. all producers have bowed-out PPFs, and the economy PPF is the horizontal sum of the individual PPFs C. as more of a good is produced, people are willing to pay less for each additional unit of the good D. a good is initially produced by producers with lower opportunity costs and eventually produced by producers with higher opportunity costs
Answer:
A. a good is initially produced by producers with higher opportunity costs and eventually produced by producers with lower opportunity costs
Explanation:
The production possibility frontier is a curve that shows the two combinations of goods and services produced in an economy.
Because of trade a country can specialise in the production of goods for which it has a lower opportunity cost in its production and import goods for which it has a higher opportunity cost.
This makes the ppf bowed out as the country produces more of the good for which it has a lower opportunity cost and less of the good for which it has a higher opportunity cost.

e Department of Traffic Security of a city is considering the purchase of a new drone for aerial surveillance of traffic on its most congested streets. A similar purchase 4 years ago cost $950,000. At an interest rate of 7% per year, what is the equivalent value today of the previous $950,000 expenditure?
Answer:
The equivalent value of the expenditure today is = $1,245,256.21
Explanation:
The equivalent today of the 950,000 would be the future value compounded at 7% per year.
FV = PV × (1+r)^n
FV - ?, PV - value 4 years ago, n- number of years, r- rate of return
PV - 950,000, n- 4, r-7%
FV = 950,000 ×(1.07^4)= 1,245,256.21
The equivalent value of the expenditure today is = $1,245,256.21
Elegant Limited sells restored classic cars. Most of its customers are private buyers who buy cars for themselves. However, some of them are investors who buy multiple cars and hold them for resale. All sales of Elegant Limited are for cash. Depict the association and cardinality for the sales of cars at Elegant Limited based on REA model.
Answer:
Elegant Limited
Depiction of the Association and Cardinality for the Sales of Cars based on the REA Model:
1. Association: This is about the relationships that exist among the economic elements involved in the REA model. They are Economic Resources, Economic Events, and Economic Agents. These elements interact during each business transaction in such interconnected processes that business transactions cannot be complete without any element.
For example, the economic resources during the sale of a car at Elegant Limited are 1) a car and 2) money. These are exchanged between Elegant Limited and the customer and vice versa. In the same light, an economic event takes place during the exchange of either a car or money. While a car is a physical resource (asset), money is a financial resource (asset). For each of these two events, the economic agents who must interact are the workers at Elegant Limited and the customer whether private buyers or investors.
2. Cardinality: This refers to the elements that are involved in the REA model. They are three as already described. They are Economic Resources, Economic Events, and Economic Agents. No business transaction is complete where any element is not present. So, these elements are cardinal in the relationship.
Explanation:
The REA model is an accounting system re-engineering model originally proposed by William E. McCarthy as a generalized accounting model. It contains the concepts of resources, events and agents (McCarthy 1982).
The model views accounting data collection as a system to collect data about the resources, events, and agents within business processes, thereby suggesting that the basic data collected should be about the resources, events, and agents involved in an exchange.
Assume that Corn Co. sold 7,500 units of Product A and 2,500 units of Product B during the past year. The unit contribution margins for Products A and B are $33 and $56, respectively. Corn has fixed costs of $328,000. The break-even point in units is
Answer:
Break-even point (units)= 8,464 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Assume that Corn Co. sold 7,500 units of Product A and 2,500 units of Product B during the past year. The unit contribution margins for Products A and B are $33 and $56, respectively. Corn has fixed costs of $328,000.
First, we need to calculate the proportion of sales:
Product A= 7,500/10,000= 0.75
Product B= 2,500/10,000= 0.25
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the break-even point in units:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Break-even point (units)= 328,000/ (0.75*33 + 0.25*56)
Break-even point (units)= 328,000/38.75
Break-even point (units)= 8,464 units

Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
B. What are the company policies when it comes to handling bribery?
This is a good question to ask because it aims to find out how the company deals with a very important ethical issue which is that of bribery. Your supervisor needs to tell you how the company normally deals with bribery so that you can act appropriately and abide by the ethics of the company.
B. Inform the executive that this extra $10,000 wasn’t in the original contract. Avoid assuming unethical behavior until you clarify what he is asking for in relation to the agreed-upon contract.
You should tell the Executive that the sum of money he is requesting for was not in the original budget and inquire to know why he needs it so that you may know if it is something you can acquire. It is sometimes best to wait for an explanation first before rushing to conclusions and this is one of those times.
A. Find alternatives.
B. Don’t rationalize shady decisions.
D. Refuse business if it violates you basic values.
When dealing with other culture and you see that there are different values from the ones you are used to and therefore different ways of doing things, it is imperative that you find alternatives to your course if action that can still serve your purpose while not antagonizing the people.
Also very important to to avoid rationalizing shady deals because once you start you will find that UNETHICAL decisions are easy to engage in.
Also as much as you are in a different cultures, some behaviours will always be unethical, refusing business that violates your basic values shoeshowss Moral Initiative.
A. Team members with different backgrounds come up with more effective problem-solving techniques, providing your company with a competitive advantage over other companies.
As the saying goes, "two heads are better than one". This is very important in teams with diversity because different cultures and backgrounds have evolved differently and found out different ways to come up with solutions to problems with some being better than others. Having team members from various backgrounds brings that information together to chart a better path forward which can then give a Competitive Advantage.
Build on Similarities. Coexist Peacefully.
By posting this tip, you encourage team members to communicate well with each other by first finding similarities. Human beings regardless of culture can have similarities and from these we can see that we are not all that different. Once that is found out, it is easier to coexist peacefully.

Matt Winne, Inc. issued $ 1 comma 000 comma 000 of 9%, nine-year bonds payable on January 1, 2018. The market interest rate at the date of issuance was 6%, and the bonds pay interest semiannually.
1) How much cash did the company receive upon issuance of the bonds payable?
2) Prepare an amortization table for the bond using theeffective-interest method, through the first two interest payments. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
3) Journalize the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2018, and the first and second payments of the semiannual interest amount and amortization of the bonds on June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2018. Explanations are not required.
4) Journalize the payment of the first semiannual interest amount and amortization of the bond on June 30, 2018
5) Journalize the payment of the second semiannual interest amount and amortization of the bond on December 31, 2018.
Answer:
1) $1,223,163
2) bond premium amortization coupon 1 = $8,305
bond premium amortization coupon 2 = $8,554
3)

5)
December 31, 2018, second coupon payment
Dr Interest expense 36,446
Dr Premium on bonds payable 8,554
Cr Cash 45,000
Explanation:
bonds price = PV of face value + PV of coupons
PV of face value = $1,000,000 / 1.03²⁰ = $553,675.75
PV of coupon payments = $45,000 x 14.8775 (annuity factor 3%, 20 payments) = $669,487.50
issue price = $553,675.75 + $669,487.50 = $1,223,163.25 ≈ $1,223,163
Dr Cash 1,223,163
Cr Bonds payable 1,000,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 223,163
amortization coupon 1 = $45,000 - ($1,223,163 x 3%) = $45,000 - $36,695 = $8,305
amortization coupon 2 = $45,000 - ($1,214,858 x 3%) = $45,000 - $36,446 = $8,554

Stockholders’ equity of ABC Company consists of 88,000 shares of $5 par value, 10% cumulative preferred stock and 320,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. Both classes of stock have been outstanding since the company’s inception. ABC did not declare any dividends in the prior year, but it now declares and pays a $165,000 cash dividend at the current year-end. Determine the amount distributed to each class of stockholders for this two-year-old company.
Answer:
Explanation:
Calculation of dividend amount for the preferred shareholders
Preferred Dividend =Per value of share * Dividend rate * Number of years
=88,000*5 * 10% * 2\
=$88,000
Thus cash dividend paid to common shareholder is $88,000
Calculations of cash dividend amount for common shareholder
Common share dividend= $165,000 - $88,000
=$77,000

Consider a country where all money is currently held as cash and the money supply has a value of $2,200. A banking system is developed, and the residents of the country deposlt the $2,200 of cash into the banking system and decide they no longer want to hold any cash. If the reserve ratio is equal to 4%, then the banking system has the ability to create $_________ money supply in the economy will be equal to $__________
Answer: the banking system has the ability to create $52,800 of new money and the money supply in the economy will be equal to $55,000
Explanation:
To find out how much new money was created or rather how much can be created you can use the Money Multiplier. The money multiplier enables one to see how much money can be created in an economy given a certain reserve ratio.
The Money Multiplier is calculated by,
= 1/reserve requirement
Multiplying the Money Multiplier with the initial deposit in the bank gives the amount that that deposit can create.
With a Reserve Requirement of 4%, the Money Multiplier is,
= 1/4%
= 25
The Amount of money created in the economy is therefore,
= 25 * 2,200
= $55,000
The amount of New Money created will be the amount created less the initial deposit,
= 55,000 - 2,200
= $52,800
Carlos opens a dry cleaning store during the year. He invests $30,000 of his own money and borrows $60,000 from a local bank. He uses $40,000 of the loan to buy a building and the remaining $20,000 for equipment. During the first year, the store has a loss of $24,000. How much of the loss can Carlos deduct if the loan from the bank is nonrecourse
Answer:
$30,000
$6,000
Explanation:
Carlos risk = $30,000
Carlos risk of $30,000 is the amount of funds which he had invested in the course of his business which is why Carlos is not considered at-risk for the nonrecourse loan reason been that carlos is not found liable because the loan was not used in the business which makes him to have a risk of $30,000.

Porter's Five Forces framework has been around since the 1980's and has been very effective in evaluating industry attractiveness. Changes in the dynamic nature of industries has not impacted the usefulness of the tool. The tool has no limitations. Group of answer choices
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Porter's Five Forces framework is a list of factors which provide an explanation to the forces affecting competition in industries. These five forces include;
1. Competition in the industry
2. Potential of new entrants into the industry
3. Power of suppliers
4. Power of customers
5. Threat of substitute products
Over the years, these five forces have been used in explaining the structure of certain industries. The framework however has limitations, some of which include,
1. It is not in terms with current realities, such as new advancements in technology which were not available as at the time the framework was formed.
2. Some companies operate different structures, whereas, the framework classifies each industry under one structure.
3. There is the possibility of industries to give equal consideration to all five factors, whereas in reality only some of the factors might be applicable to them.
4. Individual companies instead of industries now use the framework to make their business analysis which is not the real reason for the development of the framework. It was meant for industries as a whole.

On the basis of this information, find the annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016.
Answer:
The annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016 is 199.21%
Explanation:
In order to Calcualte the Holding Period Return for 2012 through 2016
we would have to use and calculate the following formula :
HPR = [(P1-P0) +D] / P0
P0 = Beginning value of stock = $39.26
P1 = The closing value of stock = $111.07
D = Dividends received during the year =($0.75 + $0.99 + $0.96 + $1.65 + $2.05) = $6.40
Substituting all the values in the formula , we will get Holding period return
HPR = [($111.07 - $39.26) + $6.40] / $39.26
= $78.21/ $39.26
= 1.9921
= 199.21%
Therefore, the annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016 is 199.21%

Laworld Inc. manufactures small camping tents. Last year, 200,000 tents were made and sold for $60 each. Each tent includes the following costs: Direct materials $18 Direct labor 12 Manufacturing overhead 16 The only selling expenses were a commission of $2 per unit sold and advertising totaling $100,000. Administrative expenses, all fixed, equaled $300,000. There were no beginning or ending finished goods inventories. There were no beginning or ending work-in-process inventories. Required: 1. Calculate (a) the product cost for one tent and (b) the total product cost for last year. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION: (a) Prepare an income statement for external users. (b) Did you need to prepare a supporting statement of cost of goods manufactured? Explain. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION: Suppose 200,000 tents were produced (and 200,000 sold) but that the company had a beginning finished goods inventory of 10,000 tents produced in the prior year at $40 per unit. The company follows a first-in, first-out policy for its inventory (meaning that the units produced first are sold first for purposes of cost flow). (a) What effect does this have on the income statement? (b) Prepare a cost of goods sold statement.

Laworld Inc.
Income Statement
Total revenue $12,000,000
Cost of goods sold:
Direct materials $3,600,000Direct labor $2,400,000Manufacturing overhead $3,200,000Total COGS ($9,200,000)
Gross profit $2,800,000
Operating expenses:
Sales commissions $400,000Advertising expenses $100,000Administrative expenses $300,000Total operating expenses ($800,000)
Net profit from operations $2,000,000
(b) Did you need to prepare a supporting statement of cost of goods manufactured? Explain.
No, since the COGS were fairly simple (no beginning or ending inventory) you can just squeeze the information.3. Suppose 200,000 tents were produced (and 200,000 sold) but that the company had a beginning finished goods inventory of 10,000 tents produced in the prior year at $40 per unit. The company follows a first-in, first-out policy for its inventory (meaning that the units produced first are sold first for purposes of cost flow). (a) What effect does this have on the income statement?
Both gross profit and net profit would increase since COGS would be lower: COGS = (10,000 x $40) + (190,000 x $46) = $9,140,000, which is $60,000 less.(b) Prepare a cost of goods sold statement.
Incurred costs:
Direct materials $3,600,000
Direct labor $2,400,000
Manufacturing overhead $3,200,000
Cost of goods manufactured $9,200,000
Beginning inventory of finished units $400,000
Ending inventory of finished units ($460,000)
Cost of goods sold $9,140,000
Explanation:
revenue = 200,000 x $60 = $12,000,000
manufacturing costs:
Direct materials $18 x 200,000 = $3,600,000Direct labor $12 x 200,000 = $2,400,000Manufacturing overhead $16 x 200,000 = $3,200,000total = $9,200,000product cost per unit = $18 + $12 + $16 = $46

D-List Calendar Company specializes in manufacturing calendars that depict obscure comedians. The company uses a standard cost system to control its costs. During one month of operations, the direct materials costs and the quantities of paper used showed the following:
Actual purchase price
$0175 per page
Standard quantity allowed for production
170,000 pages
Actual quantity purchased during month
200,000 pages
Actual quantity used during month
185,000 pages
Standard price per page
$0.17 per page
1. Total cost of purchases for the month
2. Materials price variance
3. Materials quantity variance
4. Net materials variance
Answer:
1. Total cost of purchases for the month
= actual purchases x actual price = 200,000 pages x $0.175 per page = $35,0002. Materials price variance
= (actual unit cost - standard unit cost) x actual quantity used = ($0.175 - $0.17) x 185,000 = $925 unfavorable3. Materials quantity variance
= (actual quantity used - standard quantity allowed) x standard price = (185,000 - 170,000) x $0.17 = $2,550 unfavorable
4. Net materials variance
= materials price variance + materials quantity variance = $925 + $2,550 = $3,475 unfavorableExplanation:
Actual purchase price $0.175 per page
Standard quantity allowed for production 170,000 pages
Actual quantity purchased during month 200,000 pages
Actual quantity used during month 185,000 pages
Standard price per page $0.17 per page

If Stan's parents elected to report Stan's income on his parents' return, what would the tax on Stan's income be?
Answer:
The answer is $393
Explanation:
Solution
In this case, we will find the tax on Stan's income which is stated below:
Stan's adjusted gross income = 4500
The standardized deduction = 1050
The unearned taxable income = 3450
With ordinary rate, the less statutory deduction is = 1050
The taxable income that is subject to his parent's rate = 2400
The tax with ordinary rate = (1050 * 10%) =105
The Tax with parent's rate is = (2400 * 12%) = 288
Hence,
The tax on Stan's income would be = 105 + 288 = $393
