Answer:
B. interpretive
Explanation:
A researcher who has no concern for issues of control or ability to generalize, instead choosing focus on providing rich descriptions would be following the interpretive approach.
In an interpretive approach to research, researchers are mainly focused on deciphering detailed meaning or rich descriptions so they can have a better understanding of the subject matter.
Under interpretive study, it is assumed that the meaning associated with matters are subjective and inter-subjective depending on their perception, thus researchers attempt to understand matters through the meanings attached by individuals in the sampling population.
Hence, interpretive researchers assume that issues are not singular or objective but depends on various human experiences.
A growing population encourages economic growth as it creates a larger workforce. Suppose a surge in immigration increases a country's total population and its overall economic output increases. As a result, the country's real GDP increases from $304,000 to $316,500. What is the percent change in real GDP
Answer:
4.11%
Explanation:
the percentage change in real GDP = [(new real GDP - old real GDP) / old real GDP] x 100 = [($316,500 - $304,000) / $304,000] x 100 = 4.11%
Generally a surge in immigration will result in both higher nominal and real GDP, but what should be more important is how real GDP per capita changes. If real GDP per capita increases, then the inflow was positive and made the economy grow for better. If real GDP per capita decreases, even if total real GDP increases, then the economy is not doing better.
Jacobsen Corporation prepares its financial statements applying U.S. GAAP. During its 2016 fiscal year, the company reported before-tax income of $621,000. This amount does not include the following two items, both of which are considered to be material in amount: Unusual gain $201,000 Loss on discontinued operations (301,000) The company's income tax rate is 30%. In its 2016 income statement, Jacobsen would report income from continuing operations of:
Answer:
Jacobsen Corporation
Income from continuing operations of $621,000 will be reported.
Explanation:
The income from continuing operations is the same thing as the operating income. It is the pre-tax income that is reported on Jacobsen Corporation's income statement for the year ended December 31, 2016. The tax rate of 30% is applied on this figure to obtain the income tax expense for the year. But, for Jacobsen that has other unusual items, these are taken into consideration before the income tax is imputed to obtain the after-tax income.
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%

C. The general ledger contains all of the accounts that a company uses, along with detail of the balances in those accounts.
D. The general ledger and the chart of accounts can be ordered in any sequence because they are not formal financial systems.
Answer:
TRUE: A. Different companies will use different charts of accounts based on individual company need.
C. The general ledger contains all of the accounts that a company uses, along with detail of the balances in those accounts.
Explanation:
A. Different companies will use different charts of accounts based on individual company need.
A chart of accounts is the combination of all the accounts of an organization in an organized and structured model whose objective is to establish a codification so that there is a standardization of the company's financial information to assist the work of the accounting sector.
Therefore, each company will have a model chart of accounts referring to its activities and processes.
C. The general ledger contains all of the accounts that a company uses, along with detail of the balances in those accounts.
The general ledger can be defined as the set of all accounts held in the organization in detail.
Through the information in the accounts, the organization is able to correctly separate each one by type and carry out the organizational financial statement.
1. A small-scale businessman deposits money at the beginning of each year into his savings account, depending on the level of the business’ returns. He deposits $1000 in the first year, $3000 in the second year, $5000 in the third and $7000 in the fourth year and annual interest rate of 7%. What is the value of the investment at the time of his first deposit?
Answer:
The value of the investment at the time of his first deposit is $1,000.
At the end of the first year, the investment will be worth $1,070.
Explanation:
The value of a deposit investment is determined by the interest rate and time. Time affects the value of an investment by this small-scale businessman in many ways. The passage of time increases the value of his investment. However, the total increase may not be due to the interest rate, but inflation also affects asset's value. For this businessman to make a gain in the investment, the interest rate must be higher than the inflation rate. Otherwise, the investment loses money due to the effects of inflation, which reduces the real value of an asset over time.
Salary expense was 15.5% of sales this year. If sales this year are $1,300,000 and are forecasted to be $1,500,000 next year, what is forecasted salary expense next year if all expenses maintain a constant percent of sales?
Answer:
Salary expense next year=$232,500
Explanation:
The ratio of expense to ales is an important which helps in the management and control overhead.
We can be predict the Salary expense using the information given about the relationship between salary expense and sales .
If salary expense is 15.5% of sales, then Salary expense this year =
15.5% × 1,300,000=$201,500
Salary expense next year = 15.5% × foretasted sales next year
= 15.5% × 1,500,000 = $232,500
We use 15.5% because the relationship between the expenses and the sales in proportion is expected to remain the same
Salary expense next year=$232,500
LSM subcontracted with Henry Isaacs Home Remodeling and Repair (Isaacs) to perform the roofing work on the project. Isaacs in turn subcontracted with Hal Brewster Home Improvements (Brewster), to conduct the roofing work on Isaacs' behalf.

Answer:
12,000
Explanation:
The following data was reported for an organisation
Authorized shares is 20,000
Issued shares is 15,000
Treasury shares is 3,000
Therefore, the number of outstanding shares can be calculated as follows
Number of outstanding shares= Issued stock-Treasury stock
= 15,000-3,000
= 12,000
Hence the number of outstanding shares is 12,000
You purchased a bond 69 days ago for $891.26. You received an interest payment of $24.00 56 days ago. Today the bond’s price is $884.89. What is the holding period return (HPR) on the bond as of today?
Answer:
1.97%
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the holding period return is:
HPR=(Income generated+(ending value-initial value)/Initial value)*100
Income generated= $24
Ending value= $884.89
Initial value= $891.26
HPR=(24+(884.89-891.26)/891.26)*100
HPR=(24+(-6.37)/891.26)*100
HPR=(17.63/891.26)*100
HPR=0.0197*100
HPR= 1.97%
According to this, the holding period return (HPR) on the bond as of today is 1.97%.

The following data concerns a proposed equipment purchase: Cost$144,000 Salvage value$4,000 Estimated useful life 4years Annual net cash flows$46,100 Depreciation methodStraight-line Ignoring income taxes, the annual net income amount used to calculate the accounting rate of return is:
Answer: $74,000
Explanation:
The Average Investment refers to the average cash invested into a particular project and is useful in calculating the rate of return. The simple formula is to add the beginning value of the asset to its ending value and divide this by 2.
The ending value in this case would be the salvage value;
Average Investment = [tex]\frac{Beginning Cost of Machine + Salvage Value}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{144,000 + 4,000}{2}[/tex]
= $74,000
A new operating system for an existing maching is expected to cost $786000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $230000 each year after deducting its straight line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $90000. Assume the company requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Compute the net present value of each potential investment.
Answer:
NPV is $771,739
Explanation:
As we know that:
Net Present Value = Present Value of Cash inflow (STEP 1) - Present Value of Cash outflow
STEP 1. Present Value of Cash Inflow
Here
Present Value of Cash Inflow = Annuity of Annual Cash flow - PV of Scrap Value
Annual Cash flow is $346,000 ($230,000 + ($786,000 - $90,000)/6)
So
Annuity of annual cash inflow = $346,000 * Annuity Factor
Here
Annuity Factor for 6 years is 4.3553
Now this means that:
Annuity of annual cash Inflow = $346,000 * 4.3553 = $1,506,934
Present Value of Residual Value ($90,000 * 0.5645) = $50,805
Present Value of cash inflows $1,557,739
Now putting values in the above equation, we have:
Net Present Value = $1,557,739 - $786,000
Net Present Value = $771,739

a) While excavating, the Contractor hits a rock layer. Since the plans and soil report did not mention such rock, the contractor files a claim under: i. Force majeure. ii. Differing site conditions. iii. Design errors/omissions. iv. Unusual weather conditions. v. Changes in owner’s requirements.
Answer:
Differing site conditions
Explanation:
A differing site condition is a condition that has been changed. Since the plan did not mention this rock, the contractor can file a claim under this.
It is a hidden physical condition that is discovered at a site which is actually different from what was expected. It can also be regarded as unforeseen site condition.
You have a portfolio that is invested 16 percent in Stock A, 36 percent in Stock B, and 48 percent in Stock C. The betas of the stocks are .61, 1.16, and 1.45, respectively. What is the beta of the portfolio
Answer:
Beta= 1.2112
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Stock A:
Proportion= 0.16
Beta= 0.61
Stock B:
Proportion= 0.36
Beta= 1.16
Stock C:
Proportion= 0.48
Beta= 1.45
To calculate the beta of the portfolio, we need to use the following formula:
Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B) + (proportion of investment C*beta C)
Beta= (0.16*0.61) + (0.36*1.16) + (0.48*1.45)
Beta= 1.2112

F Mining has $6 million in sales, its ROE is 20%, and its total assets turnover is 3.2x. The company has 40% equity financed (i.e., equity multiplier is 2.5). What is its net income? (DuPont analysis)
Answer:
$0.15 million
Explanation:
The formula for ROE can be used as a stepping stone to determining the value of net income:
ROE=Profit margin*Total asset turnover*Equity multiplier
ROE is 20%
total asset turnover is 3.2
equity multiplier is 2.5
20%=profit margin*3.2*2.5
20%=profit margin*8
profit margin=20%/8=2.5%
The formula for profit margin can now be used to determine net income.
profit margin=net income/sales
2.5%=net income/$6 million
net income=$6 million*2.5%
net income=$0.15 million
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

Suppose you inherited $275,000 and invested it at 8.25% per year. How much could you withdraw at the end of each of the next 20 years
Answer:
$28,533.5
Explanation:
Principal value (PV) = $275,000
Time = 20 years
Rate = 8.25%
Present Value = P ((1-(1+R)^-n) / r)
275,000 = P ((1- (1 + 0.0825)^-20) /.0825)
275,000 x .0825 = P (1-(1/1.0825)^20)
22687.5 = P ((1.0825^20 - 1) / (1.0825 ^20))
22687.50 = P (4.8816 - 1 / 4.8816)
22687.5 = P (3.886 / 4.8816)
22687.5 = p(0.7951)
P = 22687.5 / 0.7951
P = $28533.5
A bond's credit ratingt provides a guides to its risk. suppose that long term bonds Aa currently offers yield to mjaturity of 7.5%. A-rated bonds sell at yields of 7.8%. Sud- pose that a 10-year bond with a coupon rate of 7.6% is downgraded by Moody's from an Aa to A rating.
Required:
a. Is the bond likely to sell above or below par value before the downgrade?
b. Is the bond likely to sell above or below par value after the downgrade?
Answer:
a.- above par (premium)
b.- below par (discount)
Explanation:
Currenly the bonds par yield will be of 7.6%
Before the downgrade the expected return on that risk was 7.5% so it was above par.
Once the downgrade occurs: the expected return considering the increased risk is 7.8% Therefore the market price will decrease. This will move the yield to maturity from 7.5% to 7.8% and the market price below par.
