Answer 1

Answer:

increase the money supply, but prices would forever be higher.

Explanation:

In this scenario, an economy starts in a long-run equilibrium, however a natural disaster such as drought kills crops and dramatically increases the price of food in the market. Thus, if the Federal Reserve wanted to stabilize the economy and return it back to full employment, it would increase the money supply, but prices would forever be higher.

The Federal Reserve System ( popularly referred to as the 'Fed') was created by the Federal Reserve Act, passed by the U.S Congress on the 23rd of December, 1913. The Fed began operations in 1914 and just like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a United States government agency.

Generally, it comprises of twelve (12) Federal Reserve Bank regionally across the United States of America.

Like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a government agency that is saddled with the following responsibilities;

I. The Fed controls the issuance of currency in United States of America: it promotes public goals such as economic growth, low inflation, and the smooth operation of financial markets.

II. It provides banking services to all the commercial banks in the country because the Federal Reserve is the "lender of last resort."

III. It regulates banking activities in the United States of America: it has the power to supervise and regulate banks.

Required

The mean, mode and standard deviation of both options

Option 1

Calculate mean

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_1 = \frac{99+ 98+ 99+ 94+ 92+ 99+ 98+ 99+ 94+ 90}{10}[/tex]

Your child is planning attend summer camp for 3 months, starting 12 months from now. The cost for camp is $2,676 per month, each month, for the 3 months she will attend. If your investments earn 2.3% APR (compounded monthly), how much must you invest each month, starting next month, for 3 months such that your investment will grow to just cover the cost of the camp

Answers

Answer:

Monthly deposit= $2,625.16

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total cost= 2,676*3= $8,028

Monthly interest rate0 0.023/12= 0.00192

First, we need to calculate the nominal value required at the end of the third month:

PV= FV / (1 + i)^n

FV= 8,028

i= 0.00192

n= 9 months

PV= 8,028 / (1.00192^9)

PV= $7,890.6

Now, the monthly investment to reach $7,890.6:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (7,890.6*0.00192) / [(1.00192^3) - 1]

A= $2,625.16

Lily Company expects the following total sales: Month Sales March $30,000 April $20,000 May $30,000 June $25,000 The company expects 60% of its sales to be credit sales and 40% for cash. Credit sales are collected as follows: 30% in the month of sale, 70% in the month following the sale. The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 is: A. $12,240 B. $12,600 C. $20,400 D. $21,000

Answers

Answer:

B. $12,600

Explanation:

"The company expects 60% of its sales to be credit sales and 40% for cash"

Credit sale for May = $30,000 * 60%

Credit sale for May = $18,000

"70% of the credit sale is collected in following month of sale"

Accounts receivables on 31 May = 70% of credit sale for May

Accounts receivables on 31 May = 70% * $18,000

Accounts receivables on 31 May = $12,600

As actual fixed overhead is more than the standard fixed overhead so it should be unfavorable else it is favorable

Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $280,000 and have a useful life of five years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $80,769 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $11,000. A machine costs $200,000, has a $15,000 salvage value, is expected to last seven years, and will generate an after-tax income of $44,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the payback period for each investment is shown below;

For Option 1

= Initial Investment ÷  Annual Cash Flow

= $280,000 ÷ $134,569

= 2.081 Year

Here Annual cash inflow is

= Net income + Depreciation

= $80,769 + (($280,000 - $11,000) ÷ 5)

= $134,569

For Option-2

= Initial Investment ÷ Annual Cash Flow

= $200,000 ÷ $70,429

= 2.84 Year

Here Annual cash inflow is

= Net income + Depreciation

= $44,000 + (($200,000 - $15,000) ÷ 7)

= $70,429

Nash Company purchased a computer for $8,160 on January 1, 2019. Straight-line depreciation is used, based on a 5-year life and a $1,020 salvage value. On January 1, 2021, the estimates are revised. Nash now feels the computer will be used until December 31, 2022, when it can be sold for $510. Compute the 2021 depreciation. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.) Depreciation expense, 2021 $

Answers

Answer:

$2,397

Explanation:

Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation

Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated useful life

therefore,

Annual depreciation charge

2019

Depreciation Charge = $1,428

2020

Depreciation Charge = $1,428

2021

Depreciation Charge = ($8,160 - $1,428 - $1,428 - $510) ÷ 2

                                    = $2,397

therefore,

Depreciation expense, 2021 is $2,397

Your friend Harold is trying to decide whether to buy or lease his next vehicle. He has gathered information about each option but is not sure how to compare the alternatives. Purchasing a new vehicle will cost $28,500, and Harold expects to spend about $700 per year in maintenance costs. He would keep the vehicle for five years and estimates that the salvage value will be $11,300. Alternatively, Harold could lease the same vehicle for five years at a cost of $3,705 per year, including maintenance. Assume a discount rate of 10 percent.
Requirement:
1. Calculate the net present value of Harold’s options. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.
2. Advise Harold about which option he should choose.
Lease Option
Purchase Option

Answers

Answer:

$-24,137.14

$-14,044.86

He should choose the lease option

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Purchase option

Cash flow in year 0 = $-28,500

Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = -700

Cash flow in year 2 = 11,300 - 700 = 10,600

I = 10%

NPV= -24,137.14

Lease option  

Cash flow in year 1 - 5 = 3705

I = 10%

NPV= -14,044.86

the lease option is less expensive and should be chosen

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

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  

Here I Sit Sofas has 6,600 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $89 per share. There are 950 bonds that mature in 25 years with a coupon rate of 6.3 percent paid semiannually. The bonds have a par value of $1,000 each and sell at 106 percent of par. The company also has 5,500 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a price of $42 per share. What is the capital structure weight of the debt

Answers

Answer:

55.17 %

Explanation:

We use the Market Values of Sources of Capital to determine their Weight in  Capital Structure.

Weight of the debt = Market Value of Debt / Total Market Value x 100

where,

Market Value of Debt = 950 x $1,000 x 106% = $1,007,000

Market Value of Common Stock = 6,600 x $89 = $587,400

Market Value of Preferred Stock = 5,500 x $42 = $231,000

therefore,

Weight of the debt = $1,007,000 / $1,825,400 x 100

                                = 55.17 %

thus,

The capital structure weight of the debt is 55.17 %

A natural experiment is a chance occurrence that mimics a randomized controlled trial. In order to analyze causal effects from natural experiments, economists make use of a statistical method known as instrumental variables, in which one variable from a natural experiment is used as an instrument for a particular independent variable of interest. Assume the independent variable of interest is x1 and the dependent variable in a regression is y. Which of the following represent necessary characteristics of a suitable instrument?

a. The instrument has at least 200 observations
b. The instrument is correlated with
c. The instrument has a conditional mean of zero
d. The instrument does not directly influence y, except through

Answers

Answer: b. The instrument is correlated with x1.

d. The instrument does not directly influence y, except through x1.

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the necessary characteristics of a suitable instrument include:

• The instrument is correlated with x1.

• The instrument does not directly influence y, except through x1.

Some of the criteria for an instrument variable are the fact that it should have a causal effect on independent variable and also the dependent variable isn't directly affected except through the independent variable which is x1 in this scenario.

Therefore, the correct option are B and D.

Jessie purchased land as an investment on January 12, 2015 for $80,000. On January 31, 2020, Jessie sold the land for $33,000 cash. In addition, the purchaser assumed the mortgage of $70,000 on the land. What is the amount of the realized gain or loss on the sale

Answers

Answer:

$23,000 gain

Explanation:

In the given scenario the initial cost of purchase of the land by Jessie was $80,000

She finally sold the land for $33,000 cash and the purchaser also assumed a mortgage of $70,000.

That is a total sale price of 33,000 + 70,000 = $103,000

The gain on this transaction will be 103,000 - 80,000 = $23,000

Since part of the payment is in mortgage the gain is a long term capital gain for Jessie
