Answer:
2.554 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
to derive cash flow from net income, add depreciation back
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
$140,000 / 5 = $28,000
depreciation expense each year would be $28,000
cash flow in year 1 = $9500 + $28,000 = $37,500
cash flow in year 2= $23,500 + $28,000 =$51,500
cash flow in year 3 =$64,000 + $28,000 = $92,000
cash flow in year 4 =$35,500 + $28,000 = $63,500
cash flow in year 5 =$94,000 + $28,000 = $122,000
in year 1, the amount recovered = $-140,000 + $37,500 = $-102,500
in year 2, the amount recovered = $-102,500 + $51,500 = $-51,000
in year 3, the amount recovered = $-51,000 + $92,000 = $41,000
the amount invested is recovered in 2 years + 51,000 / 92,000 = 2.554 years
When the price of erasers increases from $1.50 to $2.50, the quantity demanded of pencils is unchanged. The cross-price elasticity of demand between erasers and pencils is
Answer:
The cross elasticity of demand is zero
Explanation:
Cross elasticity of demand measures the percentage change in the quantity demand of a product occasioned by a change in the price of another but related commodity.
If the the commodities are complements, the cross of elasticity of demand between them would be negative. his implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a decrease(increase) in the demand of the other.
If the the commodities are substitutes, the cross elasticity of demand between them would be positive. This implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a increase (decrease) in the quantity demand of the other.
Where the cross elasticity of demand is zero, this implies that the goods are not in any way related. This implies that a change in the price of one would produce no change in the quantity demand of the other.
Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $7 per unit, and at this price the upward-sloping portion of the firm's marginal cost curve crosses its marginal revenue curve at an output level of 1 comma 400 units. If the firm produces 1 comma 400 units, its average variable costs equal $6.50 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $0.80 per unit.
Required:
a. What is the firm's maximizing (or loss-minimizing output level?
b. What is the amount of it's economic profits (or losses) at this output level?
Answer:
1. This firm have the profit maximizing output level of 1400 units because a firm in any industry will maximize profit where MR=MC. Here MR is equal to MC at the output level of 1400. So profit maximizing level of output is 1400 units.
2. Economic profit = Total revenue - total cost.
Where, Total revenue = Quantity * price
= 1400 * 7
= $9,800
Total variable cost = AVC * quantity
= 6.50 *1400
= $9,100
Total fixed cost = AFC * quantity
= 0.80 * 1400
= $1,120
Economic profit = Total revenue - Total variable cost - Total fixed cost
Economic profit = $9,800 - $9,100 - $1,120
Economic profit = -$420
. The firm is having economic loss equal to 420.
Conclusion: This firm is facing economic loss in its output.
The structural unemployment rate is 1.7 percent, the frictional unemployment rate is 2.6 percent, and the economy's current unemployment rate is 3.9 percent. The economy is in:_______.
a. long-run equilibrium.
b. a recessionary gap producing more than Natural Real GDP.
c. a recessionary gap producing less than Natural Real GDP.
d. an inflationary gap producing Natural Real GDP.
e. an inflationary gap producing more than Natural Real GDP.
Answer:
a. long-run equilibrium.
Explanation:
In the circumstances that the structural unemployment rate is 1.7 percent, the frictional unemployment rate is 2.6 percent, and the economy's current unemployment rate is 3.9 percent. Then we can say that the economy is in a long-run equilibrium.
Structural unemployment can be defined as an involuntary unemployment that arises as a result of the incompatibility between a worker's skills set and requisite skills an employer seeks from the workers or due to technological changes.
Frictional unemployment is a form of unemployment which is voluntary because employees which to change jobs or move to another better job.
Hence, the economy is in a long-run equilibrium because the rate of unemployment has become constant, thus, prices and wages will be adjusted in order to reach wages equilibrium level.
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 per year.
a. This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to _ and the level of investment spending to _.
b. An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to _______ and the level of investment to ________.
c. Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
This change in spending causes the government to run a budget __________ which ________ national saving. This causes the interest rate to ________ and the level of investment spending to _______
Answer:
a. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 per year.
This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to _decrease and the level of investment spending to increase_.
b. An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to ___increase____ and the level of investment to ___decrease_____.
c. Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
This change in spending causes the government to run a budget ___surplus_______ which ___increases_____ national saving. This causes the interest rate to ___decrease_____ and the level of investment spending to __increase_____
Explanation:
Interest rate decreases with increased savings and this results to increased investment as funds are available at affordable costs. The situation is reversed when the savings are decreased, since the interest rate will increase as there are less savings for investment purposes.
There is a continuous interaction between taxation, savings, government spending, inflation, and investment versus interest rates. This means that interest rates also reflect these factors put together. This why in both fiscal and monetary policies, governments try to strike some balance in order to direct the economy towards desired targets. For example, when the government wants to stimulate the economy, it works to reduce interest rates in order to encourage investments, but this also lowers the propensity to save and encourages the propensity to spend, which trigger inflation and increases interest rate as an aftermath. And this seems to be an endless vicious or virtuous circle, depending on what is achieved by the monetary and fiscal measures in operation.
Following is a partial process cost summary for Mitchell Manufacturing's Canning Department. Equivalent Units of Production Direct Materials Conversion Units Completed and transferred out 52,000 52,000 Units in Ending Work in Process: Direct Materials (18,000 * 100%) 18,000 Conversion (18,000 * 80%) 14,400 Equivalent Units of Production 70,000 66,400 Cost per Equivalent Unit Costs of beginning work in process $ 43,600 $ 63,900 Costs incurred this period 145,500 195,700 Total costs $ 189,100 $ 259,600 Cost per equivalent unit $ 2.70 per EUP $ 3.91 per EUP If the units completed were transferred to the Labeling Department, what is the appropriate journal entry to transfer the conversion costs
Answer:
DR Work in Process—Labeling................ $203,320
CR Work in Process—Canning......................................... $203,320
(To record transfer of conversion costs to Labelling Department.)
Units completed in the Canning department are 52,000 and costs per equivalent units of production for conversion is $3.91.
Total costs of conversion is therefore;
= 52,000 * 3.91
= $203,320
Rediger Inc., a manufacturing Corporation, has provided the following data for the month of June. The balance in the Work in Process inventory account was $40,000 at the beginning of the month and $26,000 at the end of the month. During the month, the Corporation incurred direct materials cost of $58,600 and direct labor cost of $33,400. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $54,800. The manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $54,600. The cost of goods manufactured for June was:
Answer:
$160,600
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods manufactured is shown below:
= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing cost applied + beginning work in process - ending work in process
= $58,600 + $33,400 + $54,600 + $40,000 - $26,000
= $160,600
Hence, the cost of goods manufactured for June is $160,600
Assume the MPC is 0.8. Assuming only the multiplier effect matters, a decrease in government purchases of $100 billion will shift the aggregate demand curve to the:__________
a. left by $180 billion.
b. left by $500 billion.
c. right by $180 billion.
d. right by $400 billion.
Answer:
b. left by $500 billion.
Explanation:
Given marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 0.8
Marginal propensity to consume + Marginal propensity to save = 1
MPC + MPS = 1
0.8 + MPS = 1
MPS = 1-0.8
MPS = 0.2
Now, the government multiplier = 1/MPS
The government multiplier = 1 / 0.2 = 5
Total fall in aggregate demand = Government multiplier × Government purchases
= 5 ×100
= $500
Since there is a fall in spending so the aggregate demand curve will shift leftwards.
Therefore, the correct option is b. left by $500 billion.
A stock has a beta of 1.28, the expected return on the market is 12%, and the risk-free rate is 4.5%. Using the CAPM, what is the expected return on this stock
Answer:
14.10%
Explanation:
The calculation of expected return on this stock is shown below:-
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 4.5% + 1.28 × (12% - 4.5%)
= 4.5% + 1.28 × 7.5%
= 4.5% + 9.6%
= 14.10%
The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called as the market risk premium
hence, the expected rate of return is 14.10%
Assume that your roommate is very messy. According to campus policy, you have a right to live in an uncluttered apartment. Suppose she gets a $200 benefit from being messy but imposes a $100 cost on you. The Coase theorem would suggest that an efficient solution would be for your roommate to
Answer: b. pay you at least $100 but less than $200 to live with the clutter.
Explanation:
The options are:
a. stop her messy habits or else move out.
b. pay you at least $100 but less than $200 to live with the clutter.
c. continue to be messy and force you to move out.
d. demand payment of at least $100 but no more than $200 to clean up after herself.
According to the Coase theorem, if a party has the rights to a property, then an efficient output level will be achieved when there is some sort of bargaining between the parties that are involved.
Since the roommate gets a $200 benefit from being messy but imposes a $100 cost on me, an efficient solution would be for my roommate to pay me at least $100 but less than $200 to live with the clutter.
If an investment center has a $90,000 controllable margin and $1,200,000 of sales, what average operating assets are needed to have a return on investment of 10%
Answer:
Average operating assets is $900,000
Explanation:
The formula for return on investment stated below is the starting for solving this question:
return on investment= Net operating income / Average operating assets
return on investment is 10%
net operating income is the same as controllable margin of $90,000
Average operating assets is the unknown
10%=90000/average operating assets
average operating assets=90000/10%
average operating assets=$900,000
Flapjack Corporation had 7,600 actual direct labor hours at an actual rate of $12.41 per hour. Original production had been budgeted for 1,100 units, but only 950 units were actually produced. Labor standards were 7.0 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $13.00 per hour. The direct labor time variance is
Answer:
-$12,350 Unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of direct labor variance is shown below:
Labor time variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) × standard rate
= (950 × 7.0 - 7,600) × $13
= (6,650 - 7,600) × $13
= -950 × $13
= -$12,350 Unfavorable
Therefore for computing the direct labor variance we simply applied the above formula by considering the given information
An electric power plant uses solid waste for fuel in the production of electricity. the cost Y in dollars per hour to produce electricity is Y=11+0.4X+0.29X2, where X is in megawatts. Revenue in dollars per hour from the sale of electricity is 16X−0.2X2. Find the value of X that gives maximum profit. (Round to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.
Explanation:
Before answering the question, Y and Revenue (R) given in the question are first correctly restated as follows:
Cost = Y = 11 + 0.4X + 0.29X^2 .......................................... (1)
Revenue = R = 16X − 0.2X^2 .............................................. (2)
Differentiating each of equations (1) and (2) with respect to X to obtain marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR), we have:
dY/dX = MC = 0.4 + 0.58X .................................................. (4)
dR/dX = MR = 16 - 0.4X ....................................................... (5)
In production theory, profit is maximized when MR = MC. Therefore, we equate equations (4) and (5) and solve for X as follows:
0.4 + 0.58X = 16 - 0.4X
0.58X + 0.4X = 16 - 0.4
0.98X = 15.6
X = 15.6 / 0.98
X = 15.92
Therefore, the value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.
A company is considering the purchase of new equipment for $57,000. The projected annual net cash flows are $23,400. The machine has a useful life of 3 years and no salvage value. Management of the company requires a 8% return on investment. The present value of an annuity of 1 for various periods follows:
Periods Present value of an annuity of 1 at 12%
1 0.8929
2 1.6901
3 2.4018
What is the net present value of this machine assuming all cash flows occur at year-end?
a. $30,000
b. $4,500
c. $(4,736)
d. $34,500
e. $82,862
Answer:
Net Present Value = $3,304.069
Explanation:
To determine whether or not the investment was right, we will need to determine the net present value of the investment (NPV).
The NPV is the difference between the present value PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.
NPV of an investment(NPV)
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
The cash inflow is an annuity.
PV of annuity= A× 1 -(1+r)^(-n)/r
A- Annual cash flow ,- 23,400 r - discount rate - 8%, number of years- 3
Present Value of cash inflow =23,400 × (1- (1.08)^(-3)/0.08 = 60,304.06
Initial cost = 57,000
Net Present Value = 60,304.06 - 57,000 = 3,304.069
Net Present Value = $3,304.069
Kindly note that a discount rate of 8% was used as it is the opportunity cost of capital for the investment.

The trial balance for Skysong, Inc. appears as follows: Skysong, Inc. Trial Balance December 31, 2022 Cash $280 Accounts Receivable 480 Prepaid Insurance 75 Supplies 166 Equipment 3680 Accumulated Depreciation, Equipment $550 Accounts Payable 353 Common Stock 1100 Retained Earnings 1290 Service Revenue 2768 Salaries and Wages Expense 920 Rent Expense 460 $6061 $6061 If, on December 31, 2022, the insurance still unexpired amounted to $18, the adjusting entry would contain a:
Answer:
Debit Insurance expenses for $57
Credit Prepaid insurance for $57
Explanation:
From the Trial Balance, Prepaid Insurance is $75. Since on December 31, 2022, the insurance still unexpired amounted to $18, the insurance expenses for the year can therefore be calculated as follows:
Insurance expenses = $75 - $18 = $57
The adjusting entries will therefore be as follows:
Particulars Dr ($) Cr ($)
Insurance expenses 57
Prepaid insurance 57
(To record insurance expenses for the year.)
Note that the amount of $18 unexpired insurance will now be the Prepaid insurance that will appear as an asset under the Current Asset in the balance sheet, while the $57 insurance expenses will be charged as an expense in the income statement.
Inflation is a general rise in the level of prices experienced by people in a nation.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Inflation is an economic term that can be defined as the increase in the prices of a product on the market in a given period.
It can occur due to several factors, when there is an imbalance between supply and demand, then it is correct to say that when the demand for a product is greater than the supply, there will be an increase in prices and, consequently, inflation.
It can also occur when there are situations of monopoly, which is the pricing of a product controlled by a company.
Another factor that causes inflation is the increase in a company's production costs, which can be caused by factors such as scarcity, or economic crisis.
Uncontrolled inflation has a negative impact on the consumer's life, which starts to lose its purchasing capacity and has its quality of life reduced.
Carly Corporation issued $200,000 of 30-year, 8% bonds at 106 on January 1, 2016. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30th and December 31st. The straight-line method of amortization is to be used. After 11 years, what is the carrying value of the bonds?
Answer:
$207,600
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds:
January 1, 2016
Dr Cash 212,000
Cr Bonds payable 200,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 12,000
Premium on bonds payable $12,000 / 60 semiannual coupons = $200 amortization per coupon payment
after 11 years, 22 coupons were paid 22 x $200 = $4,400
bonds carrying value after 11 years = $200,000 + $12,000 - $4,400 = $207,600
Consider a potential merger between two hypothetical beer companies. Prior to the merger, the first, Ann Hy, is worth $150 billion and the second, Czar Bosch, is worth $100 billion. If they merge, they will gain $30 billion in increased value from reduced costs and additional sales (in present discounted value). Thus the combined value of the new entity (called Ann Hy-Czar Bosch) would be $280 billion. How much more could Czar Bosch hope to get by using the theory of the pie instead of proportional division
Answer:
$3 billion more
Explanation:
Calculation of the amount that Czar Bosch could hope to get by using the theory of the pie instead of proportional division
If we are to use the theory of the pie instead of the proportional division this means that when using the proportional division, their would be likelihood that Czar Bosch would get an amount that is proportional to their market cap, 40% of the $30 billion, or $12 billion and in a situation where the they decide to split the pie this means that Czar Bosch would either get$15 billion or $3 billion more

At December 31 Year 2 Year 1 Common Stock, $5 par value $500,000 $450,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par 948,000 853,000 Retained earnings 688,000 582,000 A. $95,000. B. $201,000. C. $69,000. D. $79,000. E. $50,000.
Answer:
C. $69,000
Explanation:
Computation of the cash paid for dividends during Year 2
First step is to calculate the difference in Retained earnings for Year 2 and Year 1
Retained earnings =$688,000-$582,000
Difference in retained earnings =$106,000
Second step is to calculate for the cash paid for dividends during Year 2
Using this formula
Cash paid dividend = Year 2 Net income- Retained earnings difference
Let plug in the formula
Cash paid dividend=$175,000-$106,000
Cash paid dividend =$69,000
Therefore the cash paid for dividends during Year 2 will be $69,000
Great Lakes Packing has two bond issues outstanding. The first issue has a coupon rate of 3.82 percent, a par value of $1,000 per bond, matures in 6 years, has a total face value of $5.2 million, and is quoted at 103 percent of face value. The second issue has a coupon rate of 6.59 percent, a par value of $1,000 per bond, matures in 14 years, has a total face value of $9.5 million, and is quoted at 107 percent of face value. Both bonds pay interest semiannually. The company's tax rate is 35 percent. What is the firm's weighted average aftertax cost of debt
Answer:
3.22%
Explanation:
we must first determine the yield to maturity of both bonds in order to determine their before tax cost of debt:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM Bond₁ = {19.10 + [(1,000 - 1,030)/12]} / [(1,000 + 1,030)/2] = 16.6 / 1,015 = 0.01635 x 2 = 3.27%
YTM Bond₂ = {32.95 + [(1,000 - 1,070)/28]} / [(1,000 + 1,070)/2] = 0.0294 x 2 = 5.88%
firm's weighted after tax cost of debt = {[($5.2 / $14.7) x 3.27%] x (1 - 0.35)} + {[($9.5 / $14.7) x 5.88%] x (1 - 0.35)} = 0.75% + 2.47% = 3.22%
Stellar Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 600 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory280$31$ 8,680 April 15 purchase4503716,650 April 23 purchase 270 40 10,800 1,000 $36,130 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.
Answer:
inventory - $13,120
cost of goods sold - $23,010
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
the cost of goods sold would be taken from the cost of the newest purchases.
April 23 purchase 270 x 40 = $ 10,800
600 - 270 = 330
April 15 purchase ; 330 x $37 = $12,210
cost of goods sold = $12,210 + $ 10,800 = $23,010
Inventory = the remaining part of the April 15 purchase and beginning inventory
450 - 330 = 120 x $37 = $4440
$4440 + 8,680 = $13,120

Cost reduction is still the number one priority for many supply chain executives, according to the MHI and Deloitte survey. Select one: True False
Answer:
MHI and Deloitte Survey
Cost Reduction #1 Priority
True
Explanation:
For supply chain companies to achieve their profit targets, they need to curtail costs. Consumers are not ready to absorb much costs as they are presented with low-priced alternatives.

Answer:
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000
Explanation:
In the consolidated balance sheet, we record the sum of both parent and subsidiary assets. Here pumpkin and spice both have an inventory of $30,000.
Total inventory in consolidated balance = Pimpkin's Inventory + fair value of Spice's inventory
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $30,000 + $30,000
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000
A fund earned a net investment income (i.e. Ending Balance Starting Balance + Deposits/Withdrawals)) of 9200 during 1999. The beginning and ending balances of the fund were 100000 and 129200, respectively. A deposit was made at time K during the year. No other deposits or withdraws were made. The fund earned 8% in 1999 using the dollar-weighted method. Determine then date corresponding to time K
(a) April 1 (b) May 1 (c) July 1 (d) Sept. 1 (e) Oct. 1
Answer:________
Answer:
k = April 1 ( A )
Explanation:
Given data :
net investment income : $9200
Beginning balance = $100000
ending balance = $129200
deposit made
no withdrawals
interest earned = 8%
net investment ( $9200) = [ending balance - (starting balance + deposits/withdrawals )]
9200 = 129200 - 100000 - deposits
deposit = 129200 -100000 - 9200 = 20000
8% interest was earned on starting balance
= 8% of $100000 = $8000
interest earned on the deposit made = net income - interest earned on beginning balance = 9200 - 8000 = $1200
using the dollar-weighted method
assuming the deposit was made for Y months
interest earned on deposit = deposit * interest rate * (y/12)
1200 = 20000 * 8% * ( y /12 )
hence ( y/12) = 0.75 hence y = 9 months from December 31
which makes K = April 1

In your opinion, can exchange rate volatility be managed? Why or why not? Explain your answer.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
What I think about exchange rate volatility is that investors have to learn to manage this volatility because it is part of the stock market on a daily basis. Indeed, it is the nature of the game. Managing foreign exchange or FX, as it is also known, is of the utmost importance in this globalized world of investments. The price of goods and products that are exported such as iron, steel, or any other commodity has been very volatile in recent years, that is why investors and countries have to hire experts to manage their operations. One of the resources that can help investors regarding this issue is to mitigate the uncertainty with futures or currency forwards.
