Answer: d. Commercial paper can be issued by virtually any firm so long as it is willing to pay the going interest rate.
Explanation:
Commercial Paper refers to a short term debt instrument that large Corporations and banks can issue to enable them pay off short term obligations.
While Commercial Paper does not need to be registered with the SEC if it falls under a period of 9 months for it to mature, it is not for every institution.
Only large Institutions and Banks can afford to issue commercial Paper due to risk concerns and so not all firms can issue Commercial Paper.
Revising for Conciseness - Rejecting Redundancies and PurgingEmpty Words
Concise writing will save your reader time and make your message easier to understand. During phase three of the 3-x-3 writing process, revise for conciseness by rejecting redundancies and purging empty words.
Which of the following options are redundancies?
1) Adequate enough
2) Combined together
3) Big in size
4) Absolutely essential
Determine which empty words can be purged from the following sentence to make it more concise.
Answer: A. 1) Adequate enough
2) Combined together
3) Big in size
4) Absolutely essential
b. 3) “That was unfinished”
Explanation:
A. Redundancies in phrases refer to the repetition of words with the same or similar meanings which gives off the impression of saying the same things twice. All the options listed are therefore redundancies.
By saying something is Adequate which means that it is sufficient for something one does not again need to include enough because it is the same as sufficient as well.
By also saying Combined, one has already inferred that something was brought together. Including together again is redundant because the together is already in the definition of combined.
Big in size is another redundancy because when a person describes something as Big, they are already referring to the size of the thing in question. Adding in size is therefore not needed.
Finally, the Absolutely in the phrase makes the phrase redundant. When something is said to be essential it means that it is absolutely needed or crucial. To say something is Absolutely Essentially is like saying something is an Essential Essential.
B. The Johnson report had already been said to contain incomplete data. To go on to say that the data is Unfinished is a redundancy because by saying that it is incomplete it means that the data is by definition Unfinished. Removing the “That was unfinished” bit fixes the sentence.

On December 31, 2018, Interlink Communications issued 6% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $107 million. The bonds mature on December 31, 2048. Interest is payable annually on each December 31, beginning in 2019. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Determine the price of the bonds on December 31, 2018, assuming that the market rate of interest for similar bonds was 7%. (Enter your answers in whole dollars. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
$93,725,580.00
Explanation:
The market price of the bond is the present value of annual coupon payment plus the present value of face amount receivable at the end of the bond tenure.
Annual coupon interest=face amount*stated rate=$107,000,000*6%=$6,420,000.00
Face amount=$107,000,000
The discount factor for annual coupon is the present of 30 years annuity(2048-2018) at 7% market rate, which is 12.4090
The discount factor for the face value is 0.1314
Price of the bond=($6,420,000.00*12.4090)+($107,000,000*0.1314)=$93,725,580.00
What is the company’s financial position? Please refer to the income statement and balance sheet for the Exceptional Service Grading Company available here. Using the learning resources provided in the Reading Assignment, perform a financial ratio analysis of the company using the following ratios: • Gross profit margin • Current ratio • Debt ratio
Answer:
Gross profit margin requires revenue and gross profit of the company.
Current ratio = 1.386 x
Debt ratio = 0.123 x
Explanation:
Gross profit margin requires revenue and gross profit of the company which is provided in the question but it can be calculated using this formula ; Total revenue / gross profit . where Gross profit = Revenue - cost of goods sold
Current ratio is calculated using the formula ; current assets/ current liabilities lets assume the left column is for the most recent year then current ratio = 4612200/3325950 = 1.386x
Debt ratio is calculated using the formula ; total debts/total assets lets assume once more that the left column is the most recent year. note; total debts = long term + current notes payable = 454800 + 277550
therefore debt ratio = 732350 / 5957800 = 0.123x
attached is the income statement and balance sheet
Suppose you win the lottery and have two options: A. Take $1 million now. B. Take $1.2 million to be paid out as 300,000 now and then $300,000 a year for 3 years. Which is the better deal? Assume that the interest rate is 10%. Please show your work. (4 point)
Answer:
A. Take $1 million now.
Explanation:
A. If we take $1 million now the present value of the money is $1 million.
B. If we choose to take $1.2 million paid out over 3 years then present value will at 10% will be;
$300,000 + $300,000 / 1.2 + $300,000/ 1.44 + $300,000 / 1.728
$300,000 + $250,000 + $208,000+ $173,611 = $931,944
The present value of option B is less than present value of option A. We should select option A and take $1 million now.
Walkers World Company gathered the following information for 2019:
Total sales revenue (65% on credit) $432,000
Cost of goods sold 231,000
Sales returns and allowances (on credit) 44,000
Accounts receivable at end of 2019 ($30,000
increase during 2019) 100,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
Beginning of 2019 5,000
End of 2019 7,000
Merchandise inventory at end of 2019 ($10,000
decrease during 2019) 28,000
Assume 365 days in the year.
Calculate each of the following ratios.
A. Receivable turnover ratio.
B. Average age of receivables.
C. Inventory turnover ratio.
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory
Answer:
A. Receivable turnover ratio. = 4.57 times
B. Average age of receivables. 94.07 days
C. Inventory turnover ratio. 7 times
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory = 633 days
Explanation:
Net Sales $ 388,000
Sales revenue (65% on credit) $432,000
Less Sales returns and allowances (on credit) 44,000
Average Accounts Receivable = Accounts Rec (beg) Accounts Rec (end)/2
= 70,000+ 100,000/2= $85,000
A. Receivable turnover ratio.
Receivable turnover ratio= Net Sales / Average Accounts Receivable
= 388,000/ 85,000= 4.5647= 4.565= 4.57 times
A high turnover ratio is favorable because the accounts receivable are quickly collected.
B. Average age of receivables.
Average age of receivables= Accounts receivable *365/ Sales
= 100,000* 365/388,000= 365,000,00/388,000= 94.07 days
Accounts receivable will be collected in 94 days.
C. Inventory turnover ratio.
Inventory turnover ratio= Cost Of Goods Sold/ Average Inventory
= 231,000/38,000+ 28,000/2
= 231,000/33,000= 7 times
A company with a high turnover requires a smaller investment in inventory than one producing the same sales with a lower turn over.
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory
Average number of days' supply in inventory= Cost of Goods Sold/ 365
= 231,000 /365= 632.89
More Inventory will be needed in 633 days

Less: Accumulated depreciation -$1,140,000
Carrying Amount $9,120,000
Less Fair value -$5,472,000
Plus: Cost of disposal $22,800
Loss on impairment $3,670,800
Skip owns a business. Since demand is on the rise, he decided to purchase an upgraded machine that will produce four times as fast as his previous machine. The cost of the new machine is $400,000 and will be the only depreciable property that Skip places in service during 2019. What is the amount of his Section 179 deduction for 2019
Answer: $400,000
Explanation:
According to Section 179 on deducting Expenses issued by the IRS, a company may deduct the cost of certain assets when they are first put into service.
The Assets include tangible assets such as equipment and machinery so long as they are purchased for business use.
Skip bought the equipment for $400,000 and as such can deduct this entire amount under Section 179.
A few years back, Dave and Jana bought a new home. They borrowed $230,415 at a fixed rate of 5.49% (15-year term) with monthly payments of $1,881.46. They just made their twenty-fifth payment and the current balance on the loan is $208,555.87.
Interest rates are at an all-time low and Dave and Jana are thinking of refinancing to a new 15-year fixed loan. Their bank has made the
following offer: 15-year term, 3.0%, plus out-of-pocket costs of $2,937. The out-of-pocket costs must be paid in full at the time of refinancing.
Build a spreadsheet model to evaluate this offer. The Excel function:
=PMT(rate, nper, pv, fv, type)
alculates the payment for a loan based on constant payments and a constant interest rate. The arguments of this function are as follows:
rate = the interest rate for the loan
nper = the total number of payments
pv= present value - - the amount borrowed
fv = future value - - the desired cash balance after the last payment (usually 0)
type = payment type (0 = end of period, 1 = beginning of the period)
For example, for Dave and Jana's original loan there will be 180 payments (12*15 = 180), so we would use =PMT( .0549/12, 180, 230415,0,0) = $1881.46. Note that since payments are made monthly, the annual interest rate must be expressed as a monthly rate. Also, for payment calculations, we assume that the payment is made at the end of the month.
Assume that Dave and Jana have accepted the refinance offer, and that there is no pre-payment penalty, so that anything above the beyond the required payment is applied to the principal. Construct a spreadsheet model in Excel so that you may use Goal Seek to determine the monthly payment that will allow Dave and Jana to pay off the loan in 12 years. Do the same for 10 and 11 years. Which option for prepayment if any, would you choose and why?
(Hint: Break each monthly payment up into interest and principal [the amount that gets deducted from the balance owed] Recall that the monthly interest that is charged is just the monthly loan rate multiplied by the remaining loan balance.)

Which option for prepayment if any, would you choose and why?
New monthly payment
PMT(3%/12, 15*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,440.25
Now, we need find the additional amount that they need to pay in order to repay their outstanding loan in 10,11 and 12 years. So, using the above formula, we get
10-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 10*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $2,013.83
11-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 11*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,856.93
12-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 12*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,726.40
Additional Monthly Payment
10-year: $2,013.83 - $1,440.25 = $573.58
11-year: $1,856.93 - $1,440.25 = $416.68
12-year: $1,726.40 - $1,440.25 = $286.15
Refinancing means finance again(object) and, usually with a new loan with a low-interest rate.
What is the term refinancing means?Refinance, or "refi" briefly, refers to the process of reviewing and replacing existing credit agreement terms, usually as they relate to the loan or mortgage.
Calculation of new monthly payment under refinance model:
New monthly payment:
[tex]PMT(3\%/12, 15\times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,440.25[/tex]
The calculation is shown in the attached image.
Now, we need to find the additional amount that they need to pay in order to repay their outstanding loan in 10,11, and 12 years.
Using the above formula, we get
[tex]\rm\,10-year \;installment\; = \;PMT(3\%/12, 10\times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$2,013.83\\\\11-year installment = PMT(3\%/12, 11 \times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,856.93\\\\12-year installment = PMT(3\%/12, 12 \times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,726.40[/tex]
Additional Monthly Payment
[tex]\rm\,10-year \$2,013.83 - \$1,440.25 = \$573.58\\\\11-year: \$1,856.93 - \$1,440.25 = \$416.68\\\\12-year: \$1,726.40 - \$1,440.25 = \$286.15[/tex]
Hence, We can go for 12-year model, as it is cost-effective for Dave and Jana.

Data collected from the economy of Pokerville reveals that a 16% increase in income leads to the following changes:
• A 12% increase in the quantity of horses demanded.
• A 14% decrease in the quantity of clubs demanded.
• A 28% increase in the quantity of diamonds demanded.
Compute the income elasticity of demand for each good and use the dropdown menus to complete the first column in the following table.
Good Income Elasticity of Demand Normal or Inferior Good
Horses
Spades
Aces
Which of the following three goods is most likely to be classified as a luxury good?
a. Aces
b. Spades
c. Horses
Answer:
Horses - 0.75 - normal
Clubs- 0.875 - inferior
Diamonds - 1.75 - normal
Diamond is a luxury good
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income of the consumer.
Income elasticity of demand = percentage change in demand / percentage change in income
Income elascitiy for horses = 12% / 16% =
Income elasticity of demand for spades = 14% / 16% = 0.875
Income elasticity of demand for diamonds 28% / 16% = 1.75
A normal good is a whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls.
An inferior good is a good whose demand increases when income falls and whose demand falls when income increases.
Horses and diamonds are normal goods because the demand for the goods increases with income while clubs are inferior goods because the demand for the goods falls when income rises.
A luxury good is a good whose demand rises more than the rise in income. The demands for diamonds increase more than the increase in income, so diamonds are luxury goods.

You own a portfolio that has a total value of $130,000 and a beta of 1.28. You have another $49,000 to invest and you would like the beta of your portfolio to decrease to 1.18. What does the beta of the new investment have to be in order to accomplish this
Answer:βB =0.9147=beta of new investment
Explanation:
Total investment= $130,000 + $49,000= $179,000
Using
Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB
Where βp is the portfolio beta coefficient,
wA is the weight of the first investment,
βA is the beta coefficient of first investment;
wB is the weight of the second investment,
βB is the beta coefficient of second investment
but weight of investment is stock value/ total investment x 100
wA= 130,000/ 179,000X 100=72.63%
WB= 49,000/179,000 X100=27.374%
Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB
1.18=(72.63%*1.28)+(27.374% XβB )
1.18=0.9296+0.27374βB
βB i=(1.18-0.9298)/0.27374
βB =0.9147=beta of new investment

In 2001, President George W. Bush and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan were both concerned about a sluggish U.S. economy. They also were concerned about the large U.S. trade balance deficit. To help stimulate the economy, President Bush proposed a tax cut. What are the effects of the proposed policy using the IS-LM model
Answer:
The answer is given below.
Explanation:
The effect of this tax cut would be a resultant shift in the IS curve to the right, resulting in higher interest rates, currency appreciation, and bigger current account deficits. The tax cut would encourage consumers to spend more and, thereby increasing planned expenditure. The tax cut raises both income and the interest rate.
The Baldwin company will continue to train their existing workforce at their current level to help reduce turnover and improve productivity next year. Employee training costs $20 per hour. How much would their training costs per employee be to the nearest dollar
Answer: $1,600
Explanation:
The training hours per employee can be calculated by multiplying the Employee Training hours by the cost of training per employee.
From the Attached document, the Baldwin company does 80 hours of training for employees.
The Training costs per Employee is;
= 80 * 20
= $1,600
If the Baldwin Company organizes 80 hours of training for each employer in a given year, and the training cost per hour for an employee is $20, it implies that the training costs per employee would be $1,600 ($20 x 80).
Data and Calculations:
Training costs per employee per hour = $20
Training hours per employee in a year 80 hours
Total training costs per employee in a year = $1,600 ($20 x 80)
Thus, the Baldwin Company spends $1,600 per employee in training them so that employee turnover would be reduced while productivity improves.

Charles is a stay-at-home parent who lives in New York City and teaches tennis lessons for extra cash. At a wage of $25 per hour, he is willing to teach 6 hours per week. At $35 per hour, he is willing to teach 16 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Teresa’s labor supply between the wages of $25 and $35 per hour is approximately _________ , which means that Teresa’s supply of labor over this wage range is _________
Answer:
2.75, elastic.
Explanation:
Measure labor supply elasticity of Individual T's as follows :
[tex]\bf Elasticity=\frac{Percent \;change\;in\;labour\;hr}{\frac{Average\;labour\;hour}{\frac{Percent\;change\;in\;wage\;price}{Average\;wage\;price} } }[/tex]
[tex]\bf =\frac{16-6}{\frac{16+6}{\frac{2}{\frac{35-25}{\frac{35+25}{2} } } } }[/tex]
[tex]\bf=\frac{10}{\frac{11}{\frac{10}{30} } }[/tex]
[tex]\bf=\frac{0.91}{0.33}[/tex]
[tex]=2.75[/tex]
Therefore, the elasticity of the labour supply of Individual T's is approx. of earnings per hour. 2.75, meaning that the work supply of Person T's is elastic across this wage range

Assume the unadjusted balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $3,600 debit. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.) Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit enter an account title for the adjusting entry to record the bad debts Bad Debt Expense enter a debit amount enter a credit amount enter an account title for the adjusting entry to record the bad debts Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Answer:
Find attached missing part:
Dr bad debt expense $ 22,050.00
Cr allowance for doubtful accounts $ 22,050.00
Explanation:
The estimated balance of uncollectible debts is the accounts receivable of $570,000 multiplied by 4.5% which is the rate of uncollectible debt given in the question.
Estimated balance of uncollectible debt=$570,000*4.5%=$ 25,650.00
The adjusting entries required to record bad debts as per the amount computed above is the estimated balance of uncollectible of $ 25,650.00 minus the debit balance of $3,600 already in the unadjusted balance in allowance for doubtful debts.
adjusting amount=$ 25,650.00-$3,600.00=$ 22,050.00

Clipper Corporation is considering an investment of $70,000 in a project that will generate annual net operating income of $12,950. If the division planning to make the investment currently has a return on investment of 20% and its manager is evaluated based on the division's ROI, will the division manager be inclined to request funds to make this investment
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
But before reaching any decision, first we have to find out the ROI for new investment which is
ROI of new investment = net operating income ÷ investment
= $12,950 ÷ $70,000
= 18.50%
Now
If investment taken place, then overall ROI is
= Total net operating income ÷ Total average operating assets
= ($380,000 + $12,950) ÷ ($2,000,000 + $70,000)
= 18.98%
As we can see that the overall ROI i.e 18.98% is less than the currently ROI i.e 20% so he should not recommend ROI as it is shows fallen
Find the mean, median and mode for the above set of data
Answer:
a. Mean = 35.2 ≈ 35
b. Median = 35.6 ≈ 36
c. Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37
Step-by-step Explanation:
==>Given:
Class of ages in yrs
No. of cases of each class = f
Midpoint of each class = x
Product of midpoint and no. of cases of each class = fx
==>Required:
a. Mean
b. Median
c. Mode
==>SOLUTION:
a. Mean = (Σfx)/Σf
Σf = sum of no. of cases = 5+10+20+22+13+5 = 75
Σfx = 47.5+195+590+869+643.5+297.5 = 2,642.5
Mean = 2,642.5/75 = 35.2 ≈ 35
b. Median = Lm + [((Σf/2) - Cfb)/fm]Cw
Our median is between the 37th and the 38th term, which can be found in the class interval 35-44. This is our median class.
Lm = Lower class boundary of the median class = lower limit of the Medina class + upper limit of the class before the median class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5
Σf/2 = 75/2 = 37.5
Cfb = Cumulative frequency of class before the median class = 5+10+20 = 35
fm = frequency of the Medina class = 22
Cw = Class width = upper class boundary - lower class boundary = 44.5-34.5 = 10
Median = 34.5 + [(37.5-35)/22] × 10
= 34.5 + [2.5/22] × 10
= 34.5 + [25/22]
= 34.5 + 1.1
= 35.6 ≈ 36
c. Mode = Lm + [∆¹/(∆¹+∆²)]Cw
Modal class = (35-44) [i.e. the class with the highest frequency, which is where our mode falls in]
Lm = lower class boundary of the modal class = lower limit of the modal class + upper limit of the class before the modal class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5
∆¹ = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class before the modal class = 22 - 20 = 2
∆² = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class after the modal class = 22 - 13 = 9
Cw == Upper class boundary - Lower class boundary = 44.5 - 34.5 = 10
Mode = 34.5 + [2/(2+9)] × 10
= 34.5 + [2/11] × 10
= 34.5 + [20/11]
= 34.5 + 1.8
Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37
The Work-in-Process inventory account of a manufacturing firm shows a balance of $3,980 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of two uncompleted jobs show charges of $660 and $460 for materials, and charges of $560 and $740 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the company is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of:
Answer:
Predetermine overhead rate as a percentage of direct labor cost is 120%
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we first need to determine the total overheads under the balance of $3980 for two jobs.
The total cost of both jobs which are uncompleted equals,
Total cost both jobs = (660 + 560) + (460 + 740)
Total cost both jobs = 1220 + 1200 = $2420
Thus, the overhead cost involved in both jobs is,
Total Overhead cost = 3980 - 2420 = $1560
This total overhead of $1560 has been absorbed on the basis of a predetermine overhead rate based on the direct labor cost. The total direct labor cost involved under both uncompleted jobs is,
Total direct labor cost both jobs = 560 +740 = $1300
So, the predetermined overhead rate is,
Overhead rate = Total overheads / total direct labor cost
Overhead rate = 1560 / 1300
Overhead rate = $1.2 per $1 of direct labor cost
Expressed as a percentage of direct labor cost, it is:
% Overhead rate = 1560 / 1300 * 100 = 120% of direct labor cost
Fleet Delivery Corporation is a public company with a market capitalization of less than $75 million. Fleet is poised to issue securities in a transaction that, under the Securities Act of 1933, is "exempt." This enables Fleet to ______________.
Answer:
This enables Fleet to reduce costs of regulatory compliance in relation to the security issue
Explanation:
When a company is exempt under the Securities Act of 1993,this implies that when issuing securities in the market place,the stock exchange ,the company is not required to produce audited financial statements.
Auditing financial statements sometimes cost fortunes especially when it is also required that one of the Big-4 professional firms is to be consulted.
By not requiring audited financials,the costs of audit is saved,hence cost of compliance with exchange rules is reduced overall
