Barbara Hastings has no children of her own, but she does have a beloved niece named Ellen Laughridge. Attentive to the future financial needs of Ellen, Barbara secures a $500,000 life insurance contract from Chameleon Insurance Company, listing Ellen as the sole beneficiary. Barbara has every intention to inform Ellen of her new life insurance policy, but "life gets in the way," and she neglects to do so. Hastings dies on January 15, 2005. As part of her estate distribution, Ellen receives a chest-of-drawers from her dear aunt. On August 29, 2007, while rearranging her clothing in the chest-of-drawers, Ellen comes upon a secret compartment. In the secret compartment is an original copy of the life insurance contract. Ellen is overjoyed to see her name listed as beneficiary, and she contacts Chameleon Insurance Company immediately. Upon review of the policy, Chameleon denies coverage. Chameleon’s claims representative points to Section 15(b) of the policy, which specifically requires notification of the insured’s death no later than one year after death. It has been over two years and seven months since Barbara Hastings died. 1. Will Ellen recover the $500,000 in insurance proceeds? 2. Is it ethical for an insurance company to deny a claim on the basis of a "technicality?"

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Ellen would only be able to recover the $500,000 insurance proceed if she should be able to find a technicality in the insurance company's rules and regulation. This is because, strictly following the rules, there is nothing she can do regarding to the claim.

2. It is not ethical for the insurance company to deny the claim of Ellen on the basis of technicality but when viewed from another perspective, they are strictly following the rules of the insurance organization and applying it to the later. It is now left for the claimant to find another technicality on why he or she must be paid the insurance claim.

On November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 10% note payable, with a face value of $27,000. What is the maturity value of the note on March 1

Answers

Answer: $27,900

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that on November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 10% note payable, with a face value of $27,000.

The maturity value of the note on the note on March 1 will be the face value plus the interest. This will be:

= $27,000 + [($27,000 × 10%)/360 × 120]

= $27,000 + [($2700/360) × 120]

= $27,000 + ($7.5 × 120)

= $27,000 + $900

= $27,900

Polly Smith, a supervisor at Kroger's, was recently evaluated by her subordinates. Their responses indicated that Polly uses Theory X assumptions when dealing with employees. For example, one of the comments indicated that she treats employees as if they:_______.
a. naturally like work.
b. will work toward goals they are committed to.
c. have little ambition.
d. have the potential to accomplish the organization's goals.
e. seek out and accept responsibility.

Answers

Answer:

c. have little ambition.

Explanation:

Theory X is a theory that refers to people's behavior at work and suggests that managers tend to think that people are not motivated and don't like to work, avoid responsibility, don't have ambition and because of that, they have to be rewarded or punished to complete their job. According to that, the answer is that for example, one of the comments indicated that she treats employees as if they have little ambition because theory X says that managers have a negative opinion of people.

The other options are not right because they all refer to theory Y in which managers tend to have a positive view of their workers and think that they like their work, are motivated and are willing to take responsibility.

On January 1, you sold short one round lot (that is, 100 shares) of Four Sisters stock at $21 per share. On March 1, a dividend of $2 per share was paid. On April 1, you covered the short sale by buying the stock at a price of $15 per share. You paid 50 cents per share in commissions for each transaction. What is the value of your account on April 1?

Answers

Answer:

The value of your account on April 1 is $300

Explanation:

Proceed from short sales

Sales proceed =     $2,100 ($21 * 100 shares)

Less Commission= $50 ($0.50 * 100 shares)

Proceeds =             $2,050

Dividend payment

= 100 shares * $2

=$200

Total Cost of buy back

Buy back= $1,500 ($15 * 100 shares)

Add commission= $50 ($0.50 * 100 shares)

Total cost =           $1,550

Value of Account on April 1

Proceed =                               $2,050

Less Dividend payment =      $200

Less Total cost of buy back= $1,550

Value of Account =                  $300

Therefore, the value of your account on April 1 is $300

The market has an expected rate of return of 11.4 percent. The current nominal expected yield on U.S. Treasury bills is 4.3 percent. The inflation rate is 2.2 percent. What is the market risk premium? (round answer to whole number with two decimal points: i.e., use 1.23 percent instead of 0.0123)

Answers

Answer:

7.1%

Explanation:

According to the CAPM,

expected market return = risk free rate + market risk premium

11.4% = 4.3% + market risk premium

market risk premium  = 11.4% - 4.3% = 7.1%

Exercise D Viking Corporation is operating at 80% of capacity, which means it produces 8,000 units. Variable cost is $100 per unit. Wholesaler Y offers to buy 2,000 additional units at $120 per unit. Wholesaler Z proposes to buy 1,500 additional units at $140 per unit. Which offer, if either, should Viking Corporation accept

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The variable cost is $100 per unit.

Wholesaler Y offers to buy 2,000 additional units at $120 per unit.

Wholesaler Z proposes to buy 1,500 additional units at $140 per unit.

We need to choose the best alternative, in this case, the one with the higher increase in income:

Effect on income= total contribution margin

Wholesaler Y:

Effect on income= 2,000*(120 - 100)= $40,000 increase

Wholesaler Z:

Effect on income= 1,500*(140 - 100)= $60,000 increase

The best option is to sell the units to Wholesaler Z. If Wholesaler Y accepts, you can still sell 500 more units.

Answers

Answer: . an increase in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that during the 1990s, the economy of the United States was experiencing long-run economic growth, low unemployment, and a stable inflation rate.

The reason for this is due to an increase in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply. This two factors will lead to the long run economic growth which the United States experienced.

A stock has an expected return of 13 percent, the risk-free rate is 4.1 percent, and the market risk premium is 5.3 percent. What is the stock's beta?

Answers

Answer:

Stock Beta = 1.68

Explanation:

The expected return on stock can be estimate using te capital asset pricing model (CAPM).

The capital pricing model establishes the relationship between expected return from a stock and its systematic risk . The systematic risk is that which affects all players (businesses and firms) in the entire market, such risks are occasioned by changes in interest rate, exchange rate e.t.c

According to the model , the expected return is computed as follows

E(r) = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)

Rf- risk -free rate, Rm-Rf - market premium ,  β- beta

DATA:

E(r) = 13%, Rm-Rf = 5.3 , risk-free rate- 4.1%, β?

Applying this model, we have

13% = 4.1% + β× (5.3%)

0.13 = 0.041 + 0.053β

Collecting like terms

0.053β= 0.13 - 0.041

divide both sides by 0.053

β=  (0.13 - 0.041)/0.053

β = 1.679

Stock Beta = 1.68

Consider the market for minivans (Some would describe a minivan as a family car). Looking at the two statements, which one is true and which one is false? Then again, are they both true or both false? Statement 1: People decide to have fewer children. The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right. Statement 2: The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth (Hint: Minivan would be considered a normal good). The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right.

Answers

Answer:

both statements are false

Explanation:

if People decide to have fewer children, there would be less demand for minivans as a result the demand curve would shift to the left.

also, if The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth and minivans are normal goods, the demand for minivans would fall and the demand curve would shift to the left.

A leftward shift signifies a fall in demand while a rightward shift signals a rise in demand

Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls

Answers

Answer:

1. a. Average Tax rate =  130/2,000 = 6.5%

Marginal Tax Rate = (130 - 0)/ (2,000 - 0) = 6.5%

b. Average Tax rate =  650/10,000 = 6.5%

Marginal Tax Rate = [tex]\frac{650-130}{10,000-2,000}[/tex] = 6.5%

c.  Average Tax rate =  1,300/20,000 = 6.5%

Marginal Tax Rate = [tex]\frac{1,300-650}{20,000-10,000}[/tex] = 6.5%

d.  Average Tax rate =  6,500/100,000 = 6.5%

Marginal Tax Rate = [tex]\frac{6,500-1,300}{100,000-20,000}[/tex] = 6.5%

2. The tax rates shown in this table are: Proportional

Proportional Taxes take the same percentage of income across all income groups.

3. A. True

4. Sean and Bob would both vote yes as the Marginal Benefit of the project exceeds their marginal cost but project will not be funded in the end as the Total Marginal Cost exceeds Total Marginal benefit. Sean and Bob may want to pay but Yvette will not.

5. If this same project were taking place in the private sector, a firm would not fund the project.

Direct materials quantity variance $ -3,600 Unfavorable Direct labor time variance $ -864 Unfavorable Feedback

Answers

Answer:

Direct material quantity variance = $1,000

Direct labor time variance =  $224

Explanation:

Calculation of the direct materials quantity

Direct material quantity variance = Actual quantity at standard price - Standard Quantity at standard price

Direct material quantity variance = $33,400 - (($36,000/24,000) * 21,600

Direct material quantity variance = $$33,400 - ($1.5 * $21,600)

Direct material quantity variance = $33,400 - $32,400

Direct material quantity variance = $1,000

Calculation of direct labor time variances

Direct labor time variance = Actual labor time at standard cost - Standard labor time at standard cost

Direct labor time variance = $8,000- (($8,640/24,000) * $21,600

Direct labor time variance = $8,000 - (0.36) * $21,600

Direct labor time variance = $8,000 - $7,776

Direct labor time variance =  $224

Centore Inc. has provided the following data for the month of June.

The company allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The work in process inventory at the end of June after allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

$3,833

Explanation:

The computation of the work in process inventory after allocating the underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is shown below:

But before that we need to compute the amount i.e added which is given below

Amount added is

= Total work in process × manufacturing overhead underapplied ÷ total cost

= $3,760 × $3,000 ÷$154,780

= $72.88

Now the amount of work in process inventory at the end of June is

= $3,760 + $72.88

= $3,833

Answers

Answer: D. net exports will increase.

Explanation:

Lower interest rates decrease the value of a currency because less investors will invest in it. This reduced currency value will mean that exports will become cheaper as they are quoted in the domestic currency. As the exports are cheaper, more countries will buy them leading to an increase in Net exports.

A firm currently sells $1,750,000 annually of an expensive product line. That firm is considering a similar, less expensive, discount line, and projects sales of $380,000. The discount line is expected to reduce sales of the expensive product line to $1,575,000. What is the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line?

Answers

Answer:

$175,000

Explanation:

A firm currently makes an amount of $1,750,000 annually from an expensive product line

The firm projects a sales of $380,000

The discount line is expected to cause a reduction in the sales of the expensive product line to $1,575,000

Therefore, the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line can be calculated as follows

= $1,750,000-$1,575,000

= $175,000

Hence the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line is $175,000

When using the cost of production report to analyze the change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit compared to conversion cost per equivalent unit, an investigation may reveal that direct materials costs:_____.
a. will never decrease due to the way the cost is calculated.
b. will never increase due to the way the cost is calculated.
c. may increase or decrease between periods, depending on the fluctuation of the cost of the direct materials.
d. will only increase if conversion costs increase as well.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: May increase or decrease between periods, depending on the fluctuation of the cost of the direct materials.

Explanation:

To begin with, in the field of business a manager or an account would perfectly know that when using the cost of production report with the purpose to analyze the change in direct materials costs per equivalent unit compared to conversion cost per unit the investigation will reveal that the direct material costs may increase or decrease between periods, depending on the fluctuation of the cost of those materials due to the fact that the fluctuation mentioned will arise if the company starts using more direct material in the production so that means that the volumen will increase as well as the costs of it

Cheryl's marginal rate of substitution between apples and bananas is four apples for one banana. If apples are on the vertical axis and bananas are on the horizontal axis, the slope of Cheryl's indifference curve is

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: -4 (minus four).

Explanation:

To begin with, the concept of "Marginal Rate of Substitution" indicates how much of a good a consumer is willing to sacrifice to obtain a unit more of another good without changing the total satisfaction of the consumer. Therefore that this term is explained as the difference between one good and the other and that is why that the concept comprehends the slope of the indifference curve. That is why that if Cheryl's MRS of apples for banas is four then she is willing to sacrifice four apples for one banana and that indicates that the slope of the indiference curve is minus four (-4) because the result is always negative because it shows the sacrifice.

A mutual fund sponsor has three different income funds, holding AAA rated debt securities with similar maturities. Assuming that the expense ratios for the funds are identical, which fund would have the lowest yield from investment income?

Answers

Answer: C. Municipal Bond Fund

Explanation:

Municipal Bonds would be the fund with the lowest yield from investment income. This is assuming they are all AAA rated debt securities with similar maturities. This is because Municipal bonds are tax exempt and not very risky so their yields will be quoted as less as they do not have to compensate investors on tax losses.

Corporate Bonds are the riskiest of the options given so they will have the highest yield as they have to compensate for both risk and taxes.

Government Bonds are considered very low when it comes to risk but they are taxed by the Federal Government so have higher yields to compensate for tax.

Find end inventory and cost of goods
Date Transactions Units Unit Cost Total Cost
June 1 Beginning inventory 16 $ 340 $ 5,440
June 7 Sale 11

June 15 Sale 12
June 24 Purchase 10 320 3,200
June 27 Sale 8
June 29 Purchase 10 310 3,100
$ 15,040

Answers

Answer:

End inventory = $4,730

Cost of goods sold = $10,310

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided in the attached Microsoft word document before answering the question as follows:

a. Calculation of ending inventory

Number of units of Beginning inventory remaining unsold = 16 - 11 - 3 - 1 = 1 unit

Value of number of units Beginning inventory remaining unsold = 1 * $340 = $340

Number of units June 12 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 - 9 = 1 unit

Value of number of units June 12 Purchase remaining unsold = 1 * $330 = $330

Number of units of June 24 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 - 7 = 3 units

Value of number of June 24 Purchase remaining unsold = 3 * $320 = $960

Value of number of June 29 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 * $310 = $3,100

Therefore, End inventory is the addition of all the values of units remaining unsold as follows:

End inventory = $340 + $330 + $960 + $3,100 = $4,730

b. Calculation of cost of goods sold

June 7 cost of goods sold = 11 * $340 = $3,740

June 15 cost of goods sold = (3 * $340) + (9 * $330) = $3,990

June 27 cost of goods sold = (1 * $340) + (7 * $320) = $2,580

Cost of goods sold can therefore be calculated as follows:

Cost of goods sold = June 7 cost of goods sold + June 15 cost of goods sold + June 27 cost of goods sold = $3,740 + $3,990 + $2,580 = $10,310

Sharon transfers to Russ a life insurance policy with a cash surrender value of $30,000 and a face value of $100,000 in exchange for real estate. Russ continues to pay the premiums on the policy until Sharon dies 7 years later. At that time, Russ has paid $14,000 in premiums, and he collects the $100,000 face value. How much of the proceeds, if any, are taxable to Russ?

Answers

Answer: $56,000

Explanation:

When a life insurance policy is transferred the taxable amount at death is the value of proceeds that the policy gives less the Cash surrender value and the premiums that have already been paid by the formula;

Taxable Proceeds = Total Proceeds received - (Cash Surrender Value + Premiums paid)

Taxable Proceeds = 100,000 - (30,000 + 14,000)

Taxable Proceeds = $56,000

The city of New Orleans has 200 advertising companies, 199 of which employ designers of normal ability at a salary of $100,000 a year. The firms that employ designers of normal ability each collect $400,000 in revenue a year, which is just enough to ensure that each earns exactly a normal profit. However, the 200th company employs Janus Jacobs, an unusually talented designer. Because of Jacobs's talent, this company collects $1,000,000 in revenue a year.

Required:
a. How much will Jacobs earn?
b. What proportion of his annual salary will be economic rent?
c. Will the advertising company for which Jacobs works be able to earn an economic profit?

Answers

Answer:

a. $700,000

b. 6/7 or 85.7%

c. No they will not.

Explanation:

a. Jacobs will earn the normal salary that the other designers in the other companies are getting in addition to the incremental income he brings to the company as a result of his talents.

Incremental income = Revenue with Jacobs - Revenue without Jacobs

= 1,000,000 - 400,000

= $600,000

Jacobs earnings = Normal designer earnings + incremental income

= 100,000 + 600,000

= $700,000

b. Economic rent is the excess amount that the company is paying Jacobs over what it should normally cost to get a designer.

Normal cost of designer is $100,000. Company is therefore paying an economic rent of $600,000.

Proportion of Jacobs salary that is economic rent = [tex]\frac{Economic rent}{Jacobs annual earning}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{600,000}{700,000}[/tex]

= 6/7 or 85.7%

c. The company hiring Jacobs will not be making an economic profit because for them to make an economic profit they would have to be making more than the $400,000 that the other firms make. They cannot make this amount because for them to do so they would have to reduce the amount they pay Jacobs. If they do so, Jacobs would leave for greener pastures and then they would be making the same $400,000 that the rest are making.

A 20-year maturity bond with par value $1,000 makes semiannual coupon payments at a coupon rate of 8%. Find the bond equivalent and effective annual yield to maturity of the bond if the bond price is $950. (Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The bond equivalent yield to maturity = 8.52%

The effective annual yield to maturity of the bond = 8.71%

Explanation:

Here, we start with calculating the yield to maturity YTM using the financial calculator

To find the YTM, we need to put the following values in the financial calculator:

N = 20*2 = 40;

PV = -950;

PMT = [8%/2]*1000 = 40;

FV = 1000;

Press CPT, then I/Y, which gives us 4.26

So, Periodic Rate = 4.26%

Bond equivalent yield = Periodic Rate * No. of compounding periods in a year

= 4.26% * 2 = 8.52%

effective annual yield rate = [1 + Periodic Rate]^(No. of compounding periods in a year) - 1

= [1 + 0.0426]^2 - 1 = 1.0871 - 1 = 0.0871, or 8.71%

Which of the following types of contracts does not fall within the statute of frauds? Select one: A. Contracts not performed within six months B. Contracts for the sale of goods totaling more than $500 C. Contracts for one party to pay the debt of another party if the initial party fails to pay D. Promises made in consideration of marriage E. Agreements related to an interest in land

Answers

Answer:

Correct Answer:

C. Contracts for one party to pay the debt of another party if the initial party fails to pay

Explanation:

In a business setting which exist between two parties, when there is a renegation of agreement between the parties involved by one person, then there is consequences. In a situation where the renegation of agreement was deliberate, then, fraud is said to have occurred.

Option C does not fall within the statue of fraud.

The type of contract that does not fall within the statute of fraud is when the one part agrees to pay the debt of another party.

The following are the situations where the fraud could have existed:

Contract not performed for six months. The sale of goods is more than $500.The promise is made for marriage. Agreements are to be done for land.

Therefore we can conclude that the type of contract that does not fall within the statute of fraud is when the one part agrees to pay the debt of another party.
