Rick is planning to invest the following amounts at 7 percent: $254 at the end of year 1, $412 at the end of year 2, and $1,230 at the end of year 3. How much money will he have saved at the end of year 3
Answer:
$1,961.65
Explanation:
The formula for finding future value :
FV = P (1+r)^n
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
First step is to find the present value of the cash flows.
PV can be found using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 1 = $254
Cash flow in year 2 = $412
Cash flow in year 3 = $1,230
I = 7%
Present value = $1,601.29
I would now input the value of p in the FV formula
$1,601.29 ( 1 + 0.07) ^3 = $1,961.65
To find the PV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
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.

Artville is deciding whether to purchase a new statue for the center of town. The statue will cost the city $17,000 and will only be purchased if the costs are covered. The city is asking for households to help cover the cost of the statue, but households are not forced to contribute.
Required:
a. If households are asked to contribute $5 each to help cover the cost of the statue, how many households will need to contribute?
b. If the population of Artville is 4,000 households, of which 3,000 households are expected to free ride, will the city be able to afford the statue if it charges each household $14?
Answer: a. $3,400 households
b. No.
Explanation:
a. The cost of the statue is $17,000 and each household is asked to contribute $5 to help cover the cost. To find out how many families one can divide the amount needed by the amount asked of the households,
= 17,000/5
= 3,400 households
If 3,400 households each pay $5 then the town of Artville will be able to afford the statue.
b. This question speaks to a social problem referred to a the Free-rider problem. This is when people in society benefit from something without contributing fairly towards the benefit they are accruing from the thing. 3,000 households out of 4,000 are expected to be free-riders. This means that only 1,000 will cover the cost of the statue.
If those 1,000 households pay the $14 required, the town would only raise,
= 1,000 * 14
=$14,000
$14,000 is less than the cost of the statue which is $17,000 and so the town of Artville will have to do without a statue as they simply cannot afford one.

Assume that Amazon.com has a stock-option plan for top management. Each stock option represents the right to purchase a share of Amazon $1 par value common stock in the future at a price equal to the fair value of the stock at the date of the grant. Amazon has 5,600 stock options outstanding, which were granted at the beginning of 2017. The following data relate to the option grant.
Exercise price for options $38
Market price at grant date (January 1, 2017) $38
Fair value of options at grant date (January 1, 2017) $6
Service period 5 years
A. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the stock-option plan. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
B. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017
C. Now assume that the market price of Amazon stock on the grant date was $46 per share. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.
Answer:
See the journal entries and explanations below:
Explanation:
A. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the stock-option plan.
We first calculate the Compensation Expense as follows:
Compensation Expense = (Number stock options outstanding * Fair value of options at grant date) / Service period = (5,600 * $6) / 5 = $6,720.
Note: There is no journal entry for January 1, 2017.
The journal entry for December 31, 2017 is as follows:
Date Details Dr ($) Cr ($)
31 Dec. 2017 Compensation Expense 6,720
Paid-in Capital - Stock Options 6,720
To record compensation expenses for 2017.
B. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.
We first calculate the following:
Unearned Compensation at January 1, 2017 = Number of option * Exercise price = 700 * $38 = $26,600
Common stock at January 1, 2017 = Stock par value * Number of option = $1 * 700 = $700
Compensation Expense at December 31, 2017 = January 1, 2017 Unearned Compensation / Service period = $26,600 / 5 = $5,320
The journal entries will be as follows:
Date Details Dr ($) Cr ($)
31 Jan. '17 Unearned Compensation 26,600
Common stock 700
Paid-in Capital in excess of par 25,900
To record unearned compensation on January 2017.
01 Dec. '17 Compensation Expense 5,320
Unearned Compensation 5,320
To record compensation expenses for 2017.
C. Now assume that the market price of Amazon stock on the grant date was $46 per share. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.
We first calculate the following:
Unearned Compensation at January 1, 2017 = Number of option * Exercise price = 700 * $46 = $32,200
Common stock at January 1, 2017 = Stock par value * Number of option = $1 * 700 = $700
Compensation Expense at December 31, 2017 = January 1, 2017 Unearned Compensation / Service period = $32,200 / 5 = $6,440
The journal entries will be as follows:
Date Details Dr ($) Cr ($)
31 Jan. '17 Unearned Compensation 32,200
Common stock 700
Paid-in Capital in excess of par 31,500
To record unearned compensation on January 2017.

To record compensation expenses for 2017.
E-Eyes has a new issue of preferred stock it calls 20/20 preferred. The stock will pay a $20 dividend per year, but the first dividend will not be paid until 20 years from today. If you require a return of 11 percent on this stock, how much should you pay today
Answer:
Price to be paid for the stock = $25.032
Explanation:
A preferred stock pays a constant amount of dividends in perpetuity.
Using the dividend valuation model, the estimate price of such a stock would be the present value (PV) of the perpetuity.
This given below as dollows:
PV= A/r
A-constant dividend,- 20 ,
r- rate of return- 11%
PV of dividend in Year 19
PV = 20/0.11= 181.8181818
PV in year in year 0
PV = 181.8181818 × 1.11^(-19) = 25.032
Price to be paid for the stock = $25.032
Discuss silence is golden in relation to ethics at the work place

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
Consider the relative liquidity of the following assets:
a. The funds in a money market account
b. A $20 bill
c. A bond issued by a publicly traded company
d. Your car
Required:
Write down the assets in order of their liquidity, from most liquid to least liquid.
Answer:
1. A $20 bill
2. A bond issued by a publicly traded company
3. The funds in a money market account
4. Your car
Explanation:
Liquidity means that how easily an asset can be converted into cash.
1. Currency is the most liquid means of medium of exchange, so $20 bill is highly liquid asset.
2. A publicly traded bond can be converted into cash within a couple of days, so it is second most liquid asset.
3. The funds invested in the money market can be withdrawn within agreed period of time which can be in months or days so it can be at seconf or third most liquid asset.
4. A car can take more than a month to locate a customer to sell it at appropriate price so it is the least liquid asset.

*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

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

Why do you think the value of the Indian rupee declined against that of the U.S. dollar after the U.S. Fed had announced that it would begin to wind down its economic stimulus program
Answer:
Because the United States interest moved up and Indian Rupees depends mostly on the capital from the United States of America.
Explanation:
So, about the Indian rupees there are things we must note; (1). The inflation on Indian Rupees is high, (2). The problem of deficit account by the Rupee.
The two problems mentioned above are the problems that made Indian Rupees to rest or relent mostly on the United States of America Fed's cash flow. So, when U.S. Fed announced that it would begin to wind down its economic stimulus program the value of Indian Rupees DECREASES.
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
Ferdinand’s employer will match 50% of his $250 monthly contributions to his 401(k). This means that Ferdinand’s employer will put 50% of $250 = $125 into Ferdinand’s 401(k) account each month in addition to Ferdinand’s $250. What a swell benefit
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the given question is shown below:-
Total Contributions = Monthly contribution + Amount invested in Ferdinand’s 401(k)
= $250 + $125
= $375
1. Future Value = PMT [((1 + r)n - 1) ÷ r
Future value = 375 × ((1 + 0.03 ÷ 12) × 12 × 40 - 1) ÷ (0.03 ÷ 12)
= $347,272
2. Ferdinand deposit = Given Amount × Total number of months in a year × Number of years
= $250 × 12 Months × 40 Years
= $120,000
3. The Amount put in by the employer = 50% of $250 ×Total number of months in a year × Number of years
= $125 × 12 Months × 40 Years
= $60,000
4. Interest = Future value - Ferdinand deposit - The Amount put in by the employer
= $347,272 - $120,000 - $60,000
= $167,272
We simply applied the above formulas

The cost of doing business is most likely to be the lowest in:_______.
a. closed totalitarian states.
b. primitive or undeveloped economies.
c. open democratic societies.
d. countries where local laws and regulations set strict standards with regard to product safety, safety in the workplace, and environmental pollution.
e. countries that lack well-established laws for regulating business practice.
Answer:
C. Open democratic societies.
Explanation:
Generally, the cost of doing business is most likely to be the lowest in an open democratic societies.
An open democratic society is one that is characterized by a degree of freedom for the populace and as such, it gives the people the privilege of fairly competing for all resources.
In an open democratic society, there's ease of doing business because the government would ensure there's an enabling environment by virtue of laws, regulations, policies, SME loans, taxation etc. The open society being opposed to autocracy, ensures that the government is typically responsive and tolerant to every individual living in the country. This simply means that, fundamental human rights and all the necessary infrastructures or amenities such as power, water, transportation systems are readily available and accessible to all.
Consequently, the cost of doing business becomes low and more individuals would be willing to startup their business; investors are confident of investing in the economy because they believe in the system put in place in an open democratic society.
Christie and Jergens formed a partnership with capital contributions of $250,000 and $350,000, respectively. Their partnership agreement calls for Christie to receive a $55,000 per year salary. Also, each partner is to receive an interest allowance equal to 10% of a partner's beginning capital investments. The remaining income or loss is to be divided equally. If the net income for the current year is $119,000, then Christie and Jergens's respective shares are:
Answer:
Christie and jergen's respective shares are $59,500 and $59,500
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Christie and Jergens created a partnership with capital contributions of = $250,000 and $350,000
The contract terms enables Christie to receive an amount of = $55,000 per salary
An interest allowance is received by both of them equal to =10%
The net income of the Present year = $119,000
Thus,
We find the respective shares of both partners which is stated as follows :
Christie's net income = $59,500
Jergen's net income = $59, 500
The total for both is =$119,000
Hence, due to their partnership contract terms or agreement the sharing of the profit and loss is dividend equally between them.
The poverty rate would be substantially lower if the market value of in-kind transfers were added to family income. The largest in-kind transfer is Medicaid, the government health program for the poor. Suppose the program costs $10,000 per recipient family. True or False: If the government gave each recipient family a $10,000 check instead of enrolling them in the Medicaid program, most of these families likely would spend that amount of money on health insurance. True False True or False: This result suggests that we should value in-kind transfers at the price the government pays for them in determining the poverty rate. True False Because the benefit of Medicaid to its recipients is likely than its cost, it to give the poor cash transfers instead.
Answer: False; False; True.
Explanation:
a. False.
If the government gave every recipient family a $10,000 check rather than enrolling them in the Medicaid program, majority of the families would not spend the money on health insurance. The money will rather be spent on foods that the customer hasn't reached a satiation point in e.g foods, housing etc.
b. False.
We should determine poverty rate by valuing the in-kind transfers at the price which the family would have paid for the same amount of the good not taking into consideration of how the family spend the cash transfer.
c. True.
The poor would be better off in situations where they receive cash transfer rather than in-kind transfer. They could spend the cash on things apart from medical care. The poor value other things more than the health insurance and would be better off with the cash.
g invested $800,000 in a new CNC hot wire cutting machine. They intend to sell foam products fabricated using this machine. At an interest rate of 12% per year compounded quarterly, the quarterly income required to recover the investment in 3 years is (choose closet answer):
Answer:
Quarterly income = $ 36,643.03
Explanation:
The quarterly income ca be determined using the present value of the annuity technique.
The Present Value of the annuity technique
PV = A × ((1- (1+r)^(-n)/r
A- quarterly payment, n- number of quarters, quarterly rate, PV - Present of investment
A- ? n -3× 12= 36, r-12%/4= 3%
800,000 = A× (1- (1.03)^(-36)
800,000 = A× (1- (1.03)^(-36)
800,000 = A × 21.8322525
A = 800,000/21.8322525
A= 36,643.03
Quarterly income = $ 36,643.03
Computing investing cash flows
Indicate the effect each separate transaction has on investing cash flows. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.) Sold a truck costing $48,000, with $25,200 of accumulated depreciation, for $11,200 cash. The sale results in a $11,600 loss. Sold a machine costing $13,800, with $9,600 of accumulated depreciation, for $8,200 cash. The sale results in a $4,000 gain. Purchased stock investments for $17,600 cash. The purchaser believes the stock is worth at least $33,200.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
The Cash Flow Statement was created to ensure that businesses would know just how much hard cash they actually have. This Statement is therefore different from others in that in only records cash when it has been received and/or disbursed thus making it easier for a company to know how much cash it has.
The Investing Section of the Cashflow statement deals with fixed assets as well as transactions involving securities and bonds of other entities as those are investments.
When cash is spent on these transactions it is a Cash Outflow and is therefore subtracted.
When cash is received from such transactions it is considered a cash inflow and is added.
Effects of Above Transactions.
Sold a Truck for $11,200. This will INCREASE the Investing Cash Flow by $11,200.
Sold a Machine for $8,200. This will INCREASE the Investing Cash Flow by $8,200.
Purchased stock investments for $17,600 cash. This will DECREASE the Investing Cash Flow by -$17,600 as it was a cash Outflow.
The Investing Section of the Cash Flow Statement will look like,
Sold a Truck $11,200
Sold a Machine $8,200
Purchased stock investments -$17,600
Net Cashflow from Investing Activities $1,800
g Transfer payments are a. included in GDP because they represent income to individuals. b. included in GDP because they eventually will be spent on consumption. c. not included in GDP because they are not payments for currently produced goods or services. d. not included in GDP because taxes will have to be raised to pay for them.
Answer: c. not included in GDP because they are not payments for currently produced goods or services.
Explanation: Transfer payments are usually not included in the GDP because they do not represent payments made for recently produced goods or services.
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the monetary value attached to all finished goods and services produced within a country during a time period.
From the choice of simple moving average, weighted moving average, exponential smoothing, and linear regression analysis, which forecasting technique would you consider the most accurate? Why? (Ch. 18)
Answer:
weighted moving average
Explanation:
Of all these 4 options, the weighted moving average is the most accurate, as it is possible to place specific weights according to their significance.
The other techniques, such as an average, straight line, or exponential curve, assume things. The weighted average can change to any form.
However, the weighted average can be complicated to use if a long time frame is taken.
Additionally, the consumer will most likely want to adjust the weights as time periods pass. That will contribute to the complexity of applying the methods to a wide range of applications, such as predicting inventory item demand.
Hence, the first option is correct
You are CEO of Rivet Networks, maker of ultra-high performance network cards for gaming computers, and you are considering whether to launch a new product. The product, the Killer X3000, will cost $900,000 to develop up front (year 0), and you expect revenues the first year of $790,000, growing to $1.43 million the second year, and then declining by 45% per year for the next 3 years before the product is fully obsolete. In years 1 through 5, you will have fixed costs associated with the product of $91,000 per year, and variable costs equal to 50% of revenues.
a. What are the cash flows for the project in years 0 through5?
b. Plot the NPV profile for this investment using discount rates from 0% to 40% in 10% increments.
c. What is the project's NPV if the project's cost of capital is 10.3%?
d. Use the NPV profile to estimate the cost of capital at which the project would become unprofitable; that is, estimate theproject's IRR.
Answer:
A)
year cash inflows cash outflows net cash flows
0 0 -900,000 -900,000
1 790,000 -486,000 304,000
2 1,430,000 -806,000 624,000
3 786,500 -484,250 302,250
4 432,575 -307,288 125,287
5 68,908 -125,454 -56,546
B)
NPV 0% discount rate = $398,991
NPV 10% discount rate = $169,613
NPV 20% discount rate = -$725
NPV 30% discount rate = -$130,712
NPV 40% discount rate = -$232,241
C)
NPV 10.3% discount rate = $163,760
D)
almost 20%, since the IRR is the discount rate where NPV = $0
Actual IRR = 19.95%
