Answer:
$106,000
Explanation:
The computation of explicit costs is shown below:-
Implicit costs = Paid amount in a year + Rent amount
= $30,000 + $24,000
= $54,000
Explicit costs = Expenses amount for food + Expenses amount for gas and electricity
= $50,000 + $2,000
= $52,000
Total amount = Implicit costs + Explicit costs
= $54,000 + $52,000
= $106,000
Therefore we have applied the above formula.

Using the assembly-line balancing procedure, which of the following is the required cycle time in minutes per unit if the daily production time is 480 minutes and the required daily output is 50 units?
a- 480
b- 0.104
c- Cannot be determined from the information above
d- 50
e- 9.6
Answer:
e - 9.6
Explanation:
Since the daily production time is 480 minutes, and the daily output is 50 units. The required cycle time in minutes per unit can be determined by;
[tex]\frac{minutes}{units}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{480}{50}[/tex]
= 9.6 min/unit
This implies that it takes 9.6 minutes to produce a unit daily. Then 480 minutes to produces 50 units daily.

A homeowner receives a tax bill that includes an amount for the library district, taxed at $1.00 per $1,000, and the fire protection district, taxed at $2.00 per $1,000. How much does the taxpayer have to pay for these two items if the property's taxable value is $470,000?
Answer:
$1,410
Explanation:
Given the following :
Library district tax:
$1.00 per $1000
Fire protection district tax:
$2.00 per $1000
TAXABLE value of property = $470,000
Library district tax on property :
($470,000 ÷ $1000) * $1.00
470 * $1.00 = $470
Fire protection district tax on property :
($470,000 ÷ $1000) * $2.00
$470 * $2.00 = $940
Toral tax value :
$940 + $470 = $1,410

Equilibrium price is $8 in a perfectly competitive market. For a perfectly competitive firm, MR = MC at 150 units of output. At 150 units, ATC is $11, and AVC is $10. The best policy for this firm is to __________ in the short run. Also, total fixed cost equals __________ and total variable cost equals __________ for this firm.
Answer:
Shut down
$1650
$1500
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
in the shut run, a perfect competition should shut down if average variable cost is greater than price. this is the case for this firm $10 is greater than $8.
total fixed cost = average fixed cost x quantity produced = $11 x 150 = $1650
Total variable cost = average variable cost x quantity produced = $10 x 150 = $1500

Most home insurance policies cover jewelry for $1,000 and silverware for $2,500 unless items are covered with additional insurance. If $4,700 worth of jewelry and $6,000 worth of silverware were stolen from a family, what amount of the claim would not be covered by insurance?
Answer: $7200
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that most home insurance policies cover jewelry for $1,000 and silverware for $2,500 unless items are covered with additional insurance. If $4,700 worth of jewelry and $6,000 worth of silverware were stolen from a family.
The amount of claim that would not be covered by the insurance will be:
= ($4,700 - 1,000) + ($6,000 - 2,500)
= $3,700 + $3,500
= $7,200
An internal control system consists of all policies and procedures used to protect assets, ensure reliable accounting, promote efficient operations, and urge adherence to company policies. Evaluate each of the following statements and indicate which are true and which are false regarding the objectives of an internal control system.
1. Separation of recordkeeping for assets from the custody over assets is intended to reduce theft and fraud.
2. The primary objective of internal control procedures is to safeguard the business against theft from government agencies.
3. The main objective of internal control procedures is best accomplished by designing an operational system with managerial policies that protect the assets from waste, fraud, and theft.
4. Separating the responsibility for a transaction between two or more individuals or departments will not help prevent someone from creating a fictitious invoice and paying the money to herself or himself.
Answer:
Explanation:
1. True
Separation of record keeping for assets from custody over assets in custody over assets reduces theft and fraud . except in a case of collusion.
Fraud and theft of assets can be easily perpetrated and covered up when an individual combines the role.
2. False
Internal control focuses more on the internal operation of an organization rather than the external. Even though it can still be of impact in checking the excesses of external parties like the government agencies , but that is not its primary objective
3.True
Internal control's main objectives can be best accomplished when there is an operational system with managerial policies that protect waste , fraud and theft , being the major factors targeted to control
4.False
Separating the responsibility for a transaction between two or more individuals or departments is a major way of preventing creation of fictitious invoices and payment as it could have easily be detected if different individuals are involved in approval and payment of invoices.
ACold Inc. Is a frozen-food distributor with 10 warehouses across the country. Ivan Tory, one of the warehouse managers, wants to make sure that the inventory policies used by the warehouse are minimizing inventory while still maintaining quick delivery to ACold's customers. Because the warehouse carries hundreds of different products, Ivan decided to study one. He picked Caruso's Frozen Pizza (CFP). Demand for CFPs averages 400 per day with a standard deviation of 152. Because ACold orders at least one truck from its supplier each day, ACold can essentially order any quantity of CFP it wants each day. In fact, ACold's computer system is designed to implement an order-up-to policy for each product. Ivan notes that any order for CFPs arrives four days after the order.

Suppose it uses an order up to level of 2410. What is its expected on-hand inventory?
Answer:
The expected Inventory on -hand = 429.074
Explanation:
From the given information;
Mean i,e Demand for CFPs averages = 400 per day
standard deviation = 152
Lead TIme = 4 days
period length = ACold Inc. orders at least one truck from its supplier each day,
Let consider the fact that the order is up to level of S = 2410
Then, the expected demand for the lead time is;
[tex]\mu[/tex] = Demand × (Lead time + period length)
[tex]\mu[/tex] = 400 × ( 4 + 1)
[tex]\mu[/tex] = 400 × 5
[tex]\mu[/tex] = 2000
the standard deviation for the lead time as well is :
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation sd[tex]\sqrt{lead \ time \times period \ length }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]152 \sqrt{4+1}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]152 \sqrt{5}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = 339.88
The z - value for the test statistics can now be computed as:
[tex]z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{2410 - 2000}{339.88}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{410}{339.88}[/tex]
[tex]z = 1.2063[/tex]
z = 1.21
The order upto level = Inventory on -hand + Inventory order - Backorders
The order upto level - Inventory order + Backorders = Inventory on -hand
Inventory on -hand = The order upto level - Inventory order + Backorders
where ;
the backorders = [tex]\sigma L(z)[/tex] and [tex]L(z)[/tex] = standard loss
From the tables of distribution function and inventory function for standard normal distribution function
L(z) = 0.0561
the backorders can now be = 340 × 0.0561
the backorders can now be = 19.074
Recall that :
Inventory on -hand = The order upto level - Inventory order + Backorders
consider the fact that the order is up to level of S = 2410
∴ Inventory on -hand = 2410 - 2000 + 19.074
Inventory on -hand = 410 + 19.074
Inventory on -hand = 429.074

Some argue that the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates from mid-2000 to the end of 2002 greatly increased the money supply; however, opportunities to invest yielded paltry returns leading bankers to offer _____ in order to earn a higher return.
Answer: Subprime mortgage loans
Explanation: In other earn higher return, subprime mortgage loans provides bankers the opportunity to charge borrowers higher rates on loans offered. This is because subprime mortgage loans are usually offered to credit defaulters. That is, customers with low credit score due to inconsistencies in their credit repayment due to late payment and poor credit history. Due to poor credit score and low tendency to repay borrowed amount, hence posing a high risk of recouping their fund, such borrowers would find it difficult to qualify for conventional mortgage plans. Subprime mortgages offers a lifeline though but at higher rates.

Suppose you own 50,000 shares of common stock in a firm with 2.5 million total shares outstanding. The firm announces a plan to sell an additional 1 million shares through a rights offering. The market value of the stock is $ 35 before the rights offering and the new shares are being offered to existing shareholders at a $ 5 discount. a.If you exercise your preemptive rights, how many of the new shares can you purchase? b.What is the market value of the firm after the rights offering? c.What is your total investment in the firm after the rights offering? How is your investment split between original shares and new shares? d.If you decide not to exercise your preemptive rights rather sell your rights, what is your investment in the firm after the rights offering? How is this split between old shares and rights?
Answer:
20,000 ; $117.5 million; $2,350,000; $1678500; $1,078,500
Explanation:
Given the following :
Number of common stock shares owned = 50,000
outstanding shares = 2.5 million
Additional shares = 1 million
Market value of stock before rights offering = $35
Net stock price for existing shareholders ($5 discount) = $(35 - 5) = $30
A.) If you exercise your preemptive rights, how many of the new shares can you purchase?
Number of stocks / (outstanding shares ÷ additional shares)
[(50,000) ÷ (2.5 ÷1)] = 50,000/2.5 = 20,000
B.) b.What is the market value of the firm after the rights offering?
(Outstanding shares * market price) + ( additional shares * discount price)
(2.5million * $35) + (1 million * $30)
$87.5 + $30 = $117.5 million
C.) What is your total investment in the firm after the rights offering?
(stock shares held before offering * market price) + ( new shares that can be purchased * discount price)
(50,000 * $35) + (20,000 * $30)
1750000 + $600,000 = $2,350,000
D.)
Number of common stock shares *new market value after Issuance
New Market value after Issuance :
Market value of firm after offering / (outstanding + additional shares)
$117,500,000 / (2.5+1)million
$117,500,000 / 3,500,000
= $33.57
50,000 * $33.57 = $1678500
11)
Revenue from right sale :
Number of right shares * discount price
20,000 * $30 = $600,000
Value of proceed :
$1678500 - $600,000 = $1,078,500

Answer:
PED = -1.4 or |1.4| in absolute values, price elastic
Explanation:
the price elasticity of demand (PED) using the midpoint method:
PED = % change in quantity / % change in price
% change in quantity = {(Q 2 − Q1 ) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]} x 100 = {(200 − 300 ) / [(200 + 300)/2]} x 100 = -100 / 250 = -0.4% change in price = {(P2 − P1 ) / [(P2 + P1)/2]} x 100 = {(1 − 0.75 ) / [(1 + 0.75)/2]} x 100 = 0.286PED = -0.4 / 0.286 = -1.4 or |1.4| in absolute values

According to the dividend growth model, an increase in which of the following will increase the current value of a stock all other things equal? I. dividend amount II. discount rate III. dividend growth rate
Answer: (1.) Dividend amount (111.) Dividend growth rate
Explanation:
The divided growth model is defined by the relation:
Po = D1 / (r - g)
Where Po = current price of stock
r = discount rate and g = growth rate of the stock
D1 = Next year's Dividend
From the Gordon model; The price of stock is directly proportional to the Dividend amount, therefore, an increase in Dividend amount will result in current value of stock and vice versa.
Since the current value of stock increases as Dividend amount increases, therefore an increase in the growth rate of the Dividend will also favor increase in the current value of stock.
Based on the dividend growth model, when the following are increased, the value of the stock would increase:
I. dividend amount III. dividend growth rateThe dividend growth model is calculated as:
Value of stock = Dividend / ( Discount rate - Growth rate)
For the value of stock to be high, the numerator will have to increase or the denominator will have to decrease.
Increasing the dividend would increase the numerator and increasing the growth rate would decrease the denominator, both of which would increase stock value.
In conclusion, increasing dividend amount and growth rate will increase the value of stock.

Which statement most accurately describes a conflict of commitment? It involves a monetary gain by one party over another party. It occurs when outside activities interfere with one’s responsibilities to an employer. It occurs when an institution does not follow the financial rules from a funding source. It can only occur between an institution and an outside organization.
Answer:
It occurs when outside activities interfere with one's responsibilities to an employer
Explanation:
Conflict of commitment occurs when the commitment of an employer to a defined terms of employment is shared with other engagements, either personal or with other parties which could lead to a decline in efficiency due to loss of maximum concentration.
This may not necessarily involve monetary gain but has a whole lot of ways through which it can affect productivity as concentration is shared.
It is always good to define activities that constitute conflict of commitment right from the time of forming an employment contract so that an employee can be guided with it.

b. Commercial banks borrow $1 billion from Federal Reserve Banks at the discount rate.
c. The Fed reduces the reserve ratio from 20 percent to 19 percent.
Instructions: Enter your answers as whole numbers in the gray-shaded cells of both tables below.
Answer:
Following are the explanation of the given points:
Explanation:
In choice (a):
The Fed was expected to purchase securities worth $2 billion, in will consist of up to two billion dollars, which adds the vales $ 40 and $2s equal to $42 billion and it minimizes securities by two billion Dollars (60-2$=58 billion dollars). The reserves required for a demand of 200 billion dollars are $40 billion (= 20% of 200 billion dollars).
The excess assets are two billion dollars (= 42 billion dollars-40 billion dollars) as well as the financial system will add 10 billion dollars more (= 2 billion dollars x 5) to the supply of money (by lending money).
In choice (b):
The Financial banks are expected to borrow from the Fed $1 billion. In the financial institutions, it can now raise (by loaning money) its supply of cash by 5 billion dollars (= $1 billion * 5).
In choice (c):
The adjustment throughout the reserve ratio doesn't change the balance sheets itself. If either the reserve ratio is assumed reported having reduced from 20% to 19%, then assets required currently stand at $38 billion (= 19% of $200 billion (= 0.19 x 200 = $38 billion), with financial institutions still able to increase their capital (by loans) by $10.53 billion (= $2 billion (1/0.19)). Proof: $210.53 billion 19% is $40 billion.

If the price of biscuit per packet increased from N250 to N500 and the quantity bought per week decreased from 300 to 200 packets, determine the elasticity of demand for biscuit.
Answer:
The the elasticity of demand for biscuit is -0.33.
Explanation:
Elasticity demand is the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded for a commodity to a change in the price of that commodity.
The elasticity of demand for biscuit can be calculated using the following elasticity of demand formula:
Elasticity of demand = Percentage change in Qd / Percentage change in price .................. (1)
Where Qd denotes quantity demanded.
Percentage change in Qd = [(New Quantity - Old Quantity) / Old quantity] * 100 = [(200 - 300) / 300] * 100 = -33.33%
Percentage change in price = [(New price - Old price) / Old price] * 100 = [(N500 - N250) / N250] * 100 = 100%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Elasticity of demand = -33.33% / 100% = - 0.33
Therefore, the the elasticity of demand for biscuit is -0.33.
Note that since -0.33 in absolute term |-0.33| is less than 1, the demand for biscuit is inelastic. That is, the change in the quantity demanded for biscuit responds less than the change in its price.
A coupon bond that pays semiannual interest is reported in the Wall Street Journal as having an ask price of 116% of its $1,000 par value. If the last interest payment was made 3 months ago and the coupon rate is 5.90%, the invoice price of the bond will be _________.
Answer:
1,172.50
Explanation:
Calculation for the invoice price
Since Semiannual is 6 month and the last interest payment was made 3 months ago that means we would have 3 months left.
Using this formula
Invoice price = Flat rate + Accrued interest
let plug in the formula
Invoice price = 1.16(1,000) + 25.00(3/6)
Invoice price=1,160+12.5
Invoice price=1,172.50
Therefore the invoice price will be 1,172.50
