Answer:
PV= $37,204.70
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Interest rate= 6% compounded semiannually= 0.03
Future value= $50,000
Number of periods= 5*2= 10
To calculate the initial investment to reach the objective, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 50,000/(1.03^10)
PV= $37,204.70
You currently have a one-year-old loan outstanding on your car. You make monthly payments of $ 500. You have just made a payment. The loan has four years to go (i.e., it had an original term of five years). Show the timeline from your perspective. How would the timeline differ if you created it from the bank's perspective?
Answer:
Since there is not enough room here, I prepared an amortization schedule on an excel spreadsheet. The amortization schedule starts on year 1 (red color) and ends on year 5.
I also assumed a $23,500 initial loan (principal) and a 10% annual rate. I did this just to show how much principal is reduced every month and how much interest is paid. Your liability (loan's principal) decreases month by month.
If you are a bank, instead of interest expense, you would consider this an interest payment, and as the principal decreases, your asset (loan) decreases.
What role, if any, should the U.S. government take in this issue of setting fair wages in developing countries?
Answer:
Corporations of the United States should be tracked by the U.S government to ensure that workers' rights in developing countries should not be compromised.
Explanation:
In many developing countries political leaders are afraid that if wage rates are enforced on big corporations they could be forced off global markets. Foreign investment capital is significant to the economy of developing countries and there is always fear that the loss of such investment may break the economies of these countries. The government of the U.S should ensure vigorous monitoring programs that require businesses to report the location of international factories publicly so that human rights organizations can track their actions independently.
Marilyn filed her tax return on April 15. At that time, she owed $900 on a total tax liability of $10,000 and she submitted a check for $900 with her tax return. Which of the following penalties will apply to Marilyn?
A. Failure to file.
B. Underpayment of estimated tax.
C. Failure to pay.
D. None of the penalties apply to this return.
Answer: D. None of the penalties apply to this return.
Explanation:
Marilyn filed her tax return on April 15 which was the deadline for filing in 2020 until it was moved to the 15th of July 2020 on account of the ongoing pandemic. She also attached a cheque for the payment of the tax liability she owed. She filed on time and paid her liability therefore none of the penalties are applicable to her.
Determine the market price that Firm A receives for its product. Assume the price is constant because the firm is a price taker in a perfectly competitive market.
Answer: $28
Explanation:
In a Perfectly Competitive Market, firms are price takers in that the price is set by the market. As a result, the Price is equal to the Average Revenue as well as the Marginal Revenue. P = AR = MR
In the table, the Marginal Revenue (increase in revenue when an additional unit is sold) is $28 for all quantities and the Average Revenue at the fifth (and all units) is;
= 140/5
= $28
With both the Average and Marginal Revenues being $28, the price that Firm A receives is $28 as well.
Mannisto, Inc., uses the FIFO inventory cost flow assumption. In a year of rising costs and prices, the firm reported net income of $244,087 and average assets of $1,550,550. If Mannisto had used the LIFO cost flow assumption in the same year, its cost of goods sold would have been $44,110 more than under FIFO, and its average assets would have been $40,630 less than under FIFO.
a) Calculate the firm's ROA under each cost flow assumption.
b) Suppose that two years later costs and prices were falling. Under FIFO, net income and average assets were $288,567 and $1,880,970, respectively. If LIFO had been used through the years, inventory values would have been $45,690 less than under FIFO, and current year cost of goods sold would have been $22,660 less than under FIFO. Calculate the firm's ROA under each cost flow assumption.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The solution of return on assets under each cost flow is described below:-
Return on assets under FIFO = Net income ÷ Average total assets
= $244,087 ÷ $1,550,550
= 15.7%
Return on assets under LIFO = Net income ÷ Average total assets
= ($244,087 - $44,110) ÷ ($1,550,550 - $40,630)
= $199,977 ÷ $1,509,920
= 13.2%
b. The computation of return on assets under each cost flow is shown below:-
Return on assets under FIFO = Net income ÷ Average total assets
= $288,567 ÷ $1,880,970
= 15.3%
Return on assets under LIFO = Net income ÷ Average total assets
= ($288,567 + $22,660) ÷ ($1,880,970 - $45,690)
= $311,227 ÷ $1,835,280
= 17%

sheldon has a home valued at 108000 and an outstanding mortgage of 70000. if his lender is willing to provide a home equity loan of up to 80% of market value, howmuch could shledon borrow using a home equity loan
Answer: $16,400
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Sheldon has a home valued at 108000 and an outstanding mortgage of 70000 and that his lender is willing to provide a home equity loan of up to 80% of market value.
Since the lender will provide the home equity loan of up to 80%. This will be:
= 80% × $108,000
= 0.8 × $108,000
= $86,400
We are also informed that Sheldon has $70,000 outstanding mortgage. Therefore, the amount that Sheldon can borrow by using the home equity loan will be:
= $86,400 - $70,000
= $16,400
g Last year, Adventure Enterprises reported revenues of $24 million while its total expenses were $10 million. Based on this information, Adventure reported:
Answer:
The answer is ' a profit of $14 million
Explanation:
Revenue = $24 million
Total expenses = $10 million
Profit(loss) = Revenue minus total expenses
$24 million - $10 million
Profit = $14 million.
It is a profit because revenue is greater than total expenses. Adventure Enterprises will report a loss if reported total expenses was greater than reported revenue
When an HRM professional utilizes SWOT analysis, and strategic thinking about external and internal competitive issues impacting the company, including political, economic, market, social, geographic, and technological trends, this is called:
Answer:
Environmental scanning.
Explanation:
When an HRM professional utilizes SWOT analysis, and strategic thinking about external and internal competitive issues impacting the company, including political, economic, market, social, geographic, and technological trends, this is called environmental scanning.
Environmental scanning can be defined as a management strategy that focuses on systematically acquiring informations about occasions, trends, events or patterns through surveys and analysis of these information in an organisation's external and internal environment.
This simply means that, if an organization wants to succeed and remain competitive in the industry, it is necessary and utterly important that it regularly scans its environment so that it can assess its growth or developments and understand critical factors which contributed to its success.
Hence, the environmental scanning is classified into two (2) main categories and these are;
1. Internal environmental scanning: it is made up of essential elements or components that lie within an organization such as objectives, culture, value systems, mission, vision, goals, organizational structure, employees etc.
2. External environmental scanning: it is made up of essential elements or components that outside of an organization such as customers, market, rivals, politics, economic policies, demography etc.
Generally, the internal environmental scanning offers an organization Strength and Weakness while the external environmental scanning provides information about Opportunities and Threats. These four influencing environmental factors are known as the SWOT analysis (strength, weakness, opportunity and threats).
With the aforementioned four environmental factors, an organization is able to make strategic business decisions by identifying available opportunities and threats affecting the business, as well as used is strengths and improve on its weaknesses.
You would like to combine a risky stock with a beta of 1.5 with U.S. Treasury bills in such a way that the risk level of the portfolio is equivalent to the risk level of the overall market. What percentage of the portfolio should be invested in Treasury bills
Answer:
66.67 %
Explanation:
The computation of the percentage of the portfolio should be invested in Treasury bills is shown below:-
Let us assume beta be x
So the equation would be
Percentage of portfolio = x × (Beta of stock) + (1 - x) × (Beta of T - Bills) - 1
= x × (1.5) + (1 - x) × (Beta of T - Bills) - 1
1.5x + (1 - x) × (Beta of T - Bills) - 1
1.5x + 0 = 1
x = 1 ÷ 1.5
= 0.67
or
= 66.67%

Preparing a Schedule of Cash Collections on Accounts Receivable
Kailua and Company is a legal services firm. All sales of legal services are billed to the client (there are no cash sales). Kailua expects that, on average, 20% will be paid in the month of billing, 50% will be paid in the month following billing, and 25% will be paid in the second month following billing. For the next five months, the following sales billings are expected:
May $84000
June 100800
July 77000
August 86100
September 89000
Required:
Prepare a schedule showing the cash expected in payments on accounts receivable in August and in September
Answer:
Kailua and Company
Schedule of Cash Collections
August September
Cash collections from June $25,200 $0
Cash collections from July $38,500 $19,250
Cash collections from August $17,220 $43,050
Cash collections from September $0 $17,800
Total cash collections $80,920 $80,100
I suppose that 5% of the billings are uncollectible since 20% + 50% + 25% = 95%.
There are several ways that governments can increase or decrease the money supply. Match the descriptions below with the corresponding policy tool. It is possible that a description does not apply to any of the terms.
1. Open Market Operations
2. Reserve Requirement
3. Discount Rate
4. Quantitative Easing
A. A government printing more currency.
B. An increase in government spending.
C. An increase in the interest rate that a central bank charges commercial banks for loans.
D. A central bank purchasing existing bonds.
E. An increase in the percentage of deposits that banks must keep on hand.
F. A central bank purchasing a large quantity of longer-term Treasury bonds.
Answer:
1. Open Market Operations - A central bank purchasing existing bonds.
When the central bank purchases existing bonds, this is an expansionary monetary policy because by buying bonds they are putting money back into people's hands by paying them for the bonds.
2. Reserve Requirement - An increase in the percentage of deposits that banks must keep on hand.
When the Central bank increases the reserve requirement, it means that banks should keep a larger percentage of deposits kept with them. This is a contractionary Monetary Policy because the banks will have less money to loan out to the public.
3. Discount Rate - An increase in the interest rate that a central bank charges commercial banks for loans.
The Central bank loans money to commercial banks using the discount rate. Should they increase this rate, banks would find it more expensive to borrow from them and reduce borrowing. This means that they would then not have a lot of money to loan out making this a contractionary monetary policy.
4. Quantitative Easing - A central bank purchasing a large quantity of longer-term Treasury bonds.
Quantitative Easing refers to the Government buying a large quantity of longer-term treasury bonds to increase money supply so that rates would fall and people can borrow more money to boost the economy. This policy is not usually done and indeed is considered unconventional.
Suppose the Finnish government undertakes a program that relaxes immigration but only for highly skilled workers. This policy changes will result in an increase in the ________, causing _______.
Answer:
Suppose the Finnish government undertakes a program that relaxes immigration but only for highly skilled workers. This policy changes will result in an increase in the _population of immigrants_______, causing __increased economic performance resulting from increased supply of highly skilled labor, productivity, and GDP and not to forget increased diversity with its attendant benefits and costs_____.
Explanation:
Immigration is the movement of non-natives or citizens into a country from other countries. If the number of immigrants outnumber those emigrating, the population of the country will increase relatively. To boast population, increase diversity, and energize an economy, some countries deliberately embark on programed immigration and acceptance of highly skilled workers. As they come in, they come with their families, some will bear more children, and there will be increased relationships between the immigrants and the domiciled citizen population. The economy of the country will be revitalized since they are highly skilled workers, and there will be increased productivity and beneficial changes in the GDP. Human diversity has many attendant benefits and burdens. Whichever one that outweighs the other depends on factors prevalent in the particular country.
SuperOil has a debt-to-value ratio of 15%. Its revenue is 100,000 per year and cost is 70,000 per year forever. Its cost of debt is 7% and its cost of equity is 25%. It has 10,000 shares outstanding. Corporate tax rate is 35%.
(a) What is the firm’s value?
(b) What is its stock price?
(c) SuperBuyout is a leveraged buyout firm. It believes that SuperOil’s leverage is too low. It thinks that SuperOil’s firm value can increase with higher debt-to-value ratio and believes SuperOil’s optimal debt-to-value ratio is 25%. SuperOil’s cost of debt at this 25% debt-to-value ratio is 9%. SuperBuyout is considering buying all of SuperOil’s shares and increase SuperOil’s leverage to the optimal 25% level. Proceed from debt issuance will be given out to equityholderes as special dividend. What is the maximum premium SuperBuyout is willing to pay for SuperOil’s shares?
Answer:
a. The firm’s value is $88,909
b. The stock price is $7.56
c. The maximum premium SuperBuyout is willing to pay for SuperOil’s shares is $3,200
Explanation:
a. In order to calculate the firm’s value we would have to calculate the following calculation:
firm’s value=EBIT*(1-Tax rate)/WACC
EBIT*(1-Tax rate)=($100,000-$70,000)*(1-0.35)
EBIT*(1-Tax rate)=$19,500
WACC=weight of debt*cost of debt(1-t)+weight of equity*cost of equity
WACC=0.15*7*(1-0.35)+0.85*25
WACC=21.9325%
Therefore, firm’s value=$19,500/21.9325%
firm’s value=$88,909
b. In order to calculate its stock price we would have to calculate the following calculation:
stock price=Equity value/number of shares
Equity value=0.85*$88,909
Equity value=$75,572
Therefore, stock price=$75,572/10,000
stock price=$7.56
c. In order to calculate the maximum premium SuperBuyout is willing to pay for SuperOil’s shares we would have to make the following calculation:
maximum premium SuperBuyout is willing to pay=(stock price-value per share)*number of shares
maximum premium SuperBuyout is willing to pay=($7.56-$7.24)*10,000
maximum premium SuperBuyout is willing to pay=$3,200
Kohl Co. provides warranties for many of its products. The January 1, 2013, balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account was $46,663. Based on an analysis of warranty claims during the past several years, this year's warranty provision was established at 0.82% of sales. During 2013, the actual cost of servicing products under warranty was $39,914, and sales were $4,401,300. Required: a. What amount of Warranty Expense will appear on Kohl Co.'s income statement for the year ended December 31, 2013?
Answer:
Warranty Expense that will appear on Kohl Co.'s income statement for the year ended December 31, 2013 is $36,091.
Explanation:
Income statement is prepared on the accrual or matching principle of accounting.
According to the matching principle expenses and revenues are recognized when they are incurred or occur not when received or paid.
The Estimated Warranty Liability of $46,663 was already included as expense in the previous years and no expense on this is to be recognized in 2013.
We only recognize the warranty expense of 2013 as follows
Warranty Expense (debit)
Estimated Warranty Liability (credit)
Warranty Expense = $4,401,300 × 0.82%
= $36,090.66
Conclusion :
Warranty Expense that will appear on Kohl Co.'s income statement for the year ended December 31, 2013 is $36,091.
At the beginning of the current year, Penguin Corporation (a calendar year taxpayer) has accumulated E & P of $55,000. During the year, Penguin incurs a $36,000 loss from operations that accrues ratably. On October 1, Penguin distributes $40,000 in cash to Holly, its sole shareholder.
How is Holly taxed on the distribution?
Of the $40,000 distribution, ...........................$ is taxed as a dividend and $ ....................represents a return of capital.
Answer:Of the $40,000 distribution, ....$28,000....................... is taxed as a dividend and $12,000...................represents a return of capital.
Explanation:
we will first compute dividend income for Holly
Loss from operations in the year =$36,000
Loss accrued till October 1st, since it accrues ratably
January - September= 9 months
36,000 x 9/12 = $27,000
But E&P at start of the year = $55,000
Therefore, E&P at October 1st = $55,000- $27,000 = $28,000
The remaining balance. $28,000 after the losses accrued have been deducted will be treated as dividend income
From the statement, the total cash distributed to Holly is $40,000,
$28,000 as calculated from above Is taxed as a dividend and $12,000 ( $40,000- $28,000) represents a return of capital.
In some cases, analysts notice that groups of similar investors tend to flock to stocks that have dividend policies consistent with their financial needs. This circumstance is an illustration of:
Answer:
the clientele effect
Explanation:
This scenario best illustrates the concept/idea known as the clientele effect. This is the idea that a set of investors that are attracted to specific security/asset will affect the price of it when policies or circumstances change. This is mainly due to the fact that as a group with lots of buying power, purchasing those assets removes circulating supply from that asset which causes the price to go up, meaning if things change they can also sell which will cause prices to drop.

A company's net sales were $678,400, its cost of goods sold was $218,810, and its net income was $35,550. Its gross margin ratio equals:
Answer:
The answer is 67.75 percent
Explanation:
Gross profit margin is a measure of profitability.
Gross margin ratio = (gross profit ÷ net revenue/sales) x 100 percent.
Gross profit = net sales - cost of sales
Net sales - $678,400
Cost of sales - $218,810
Gross profit = $678,400- $218,810
= $459,590
Now gross margin ratio:
($459,590/$678,400) x 100 percent
= 67.75 percent
Fallen Company commonly issues long-term notes payable to its various lenders. Fallen has had a pretty good credit rating such that its effective borrowing rate is quite low (less than 8% on an annual basis). Fallen has elected to use the fair value option for the long-term notes issued to Barclay's Bank and has the following data related to the carrying and fair value for these notes.
Carrying Value Fair Value
December 31,2014 54,000 54,000
December 31,2015 44,000 42,500
December 31,2016 36,000 38,000
A. Prepare the journal entry at December 31 (Fallen's year end) for 2014, 2015, and 2016 to record the fair value option for these notes.B. At what amount will the note be reported on Fallen's 2015 balance sheet?C. What is the effect of recording the fair value option on these notes on Fallen's 2016 income?D. Assuming that general market interest rates have been stable ove the period, does the fair value data for the notes indicate that Fallen's credit-worthiness has improved or declined in 2016? Explain.
Answer:
A) Journal entries
Date Account Titles Debit Credit
Dec 31, 2014 No Journal Entry
Dec 31,2015 Notes Payable $1,500
(44,000 – 42,500)
Unrealized Holding Gain/Loss $1,500

Dec 31,2016 Unrealized Holding Gain/Loss $3,500
(Net Income)
Notes Payable $3,500
(38,000 – 36,000 + 1,500)
B) The note will be reported at the fair value of notes payable as on 31 December 2015. Therefore, the note will get reported at $42,500 in the Fallen's 2015 balance sheet.
C) Fallen's 2016 net income will get reduced by $3,500 (refer to journal entry 3) as any change in fair value will be reported as an adjustment to the net income for the respective year.
D) Since, the general market interest rates have been stable over the period and similar risk investment in the year 2016, the changes in fair value indicate that Fallen's creditworthiness has improved.
An auto parts shop carries an oil filter for trucks. The annual demand for the oil filter is roughly 1200 units. The ordering cost per order for the auto parts shop is $80; the holding cost of carrying 1 unit is $1.2 per year. The shop has 360 working days per year. The lead time is usually 12 working days. Determine the annual total relevant, including ordering and carrying, cost. g
Answer:
$480
Explanation:
The first step would be to calculate the Economic order quantity. The formula for calculating the economic order quantity is as under:
Step 1: Find Economic Order Quantity
EOQ = Square-root (2* Annual demand * Ordering cost per order / Holding cost per unit per year)
Here
Annual demand is 1200 units
Ordering cost per order is $80
Holding cost per unit per year is $1.2 and
By putting values, we have:
EOQ = Square-root (2 * 1200 Units * $80 / $1.2)
= 400 Units
Step 2: Find Total ordering cost
Now, we will find Total ordering cost by using the following equation:
Total Ordering Cost = Number of Orders * Ordering cost per order
Here
Ordering cost per order is $80
Number of orders = Annual Demand / EOQ = 1200 units / 400 units
Number of orders = 3 orders per year
By putting values in the above equation, we have:
Total Ordering Cost = 3 * 80 = $240
Step 3: Find Annual Carrying Cost
By using the following formula we will find Annual Carrying Cost
Annual Carrying Cost = (EOQ ÷ 2) * Holding cost per unit per year
By putting values we have:
Annual Carrying Cost = (400 ÷ 2) * $1.2 = $240
Step 4: Now we will find Total Annual Inventory Cost by using the following equation:
Total Annual Inventory Cost = Annual ordering cost (Step 2) + Annual carrying cost (Step 3)
By putting values, we have:
Total Annual Inventory Cost = $240 + $240 = $480
Communication skills refer to a manager’s ability to effectively convey ideas and information to others and to effectively receive ideas and information from others.

On August 15, it sold 30 units. Using the FIFO perpetual inventory method, what is the value of the inventory at August 15 after the sale?
Answer: $210
Explanation:
When using the First In First Out (FIFO) method of Inventory Valuation, the company sells the goods that it acquired earliest first and then sells the goods acquired later last.
This company sold 30 units on August 15.
That would mean that using FIFO, the company sold all of its August opening inventory of 15 units. It also sold all 10 units purchased on August 5th and then sold 5 units from the August 12th purchase of 20 units.
= 15 + 10 + 5
= 30 units
This means that the only units left are;
= 20 - 5
= 15 units of the August 12th purchase are left.
Units cost $14 each.
Value of Inventory after sale = 15 units * 14
= $210
