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 1

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

Jackpot Mining Company operates a copper mine in central Montana. The company paid $1,150,000 in 2021 for the mining site and spent an additional $630,000 to prepare the mine for extraction of the copper. After the copper is extracted in approximately four years, the company is required to restore the land to its original condition, including repaving of roads and replacing a greenbelt. The company has provided the following three cash flow possibilities for the restoration costs: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1)

Cash flow Probability
1 $330,000 25%
2 430,000 40%
3 630,000 35%

To aid extraction, Jackpot purchased some new equipment on July 1, 2021, for $150,000. After the copper is removed from this mine, the equipment will be sold. The credit-adjusted, risk-free rate of interest is 10%.

July 1, 2021, acquisition of mining equipment

Dr Equipment 150,000

Explanation:

estimated restoration costs = ($330,000 x .25) + ($430,000 x .4) + ($630,000 x .35) = $475,000

now we must adjust the restoration cost and determine its present value = $475,000 x 0.68301 (present value factor, 10%, 4 periods) = $324,430

total cost of copper mine = purchase cost + preparation costs + restoration costs = $1,150,000 + $630,000 + $324,430 = $2,104,430

Credit the Revenue.

Explanation:

Transactions that occur within a group of companies must be eliminated. Playa is a Parent (85%) and Seashore Inc is a Subsidiary.

The effect of the Sale by Playa to Seashore is that Group Cost of Sales and Revenue would be over-valued by the price of intragroup sale.

The comparative cash flow statements from Sears and Wal-Mart are presented above. Amounts presented are in millions. Review both statements considering what you've learned in this chapter about the cash flow statement. Answer the following questions: When analyzing a company's cash flow statement, which section of the statement (operating, investing or financing) do you believe is the best predictor of a company's future profitability? Why? Which company do you believe is healthier based on the cash flow statements presented? Provide at least two specific examples from the statements. Your initial post is due four (4) days prior to the discussion due date or points will be deducted from your discussion score. Please review the discussion board requirements above.

Answers

The complete question is attached.

Answer:

Sears Holding Corporation and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

1. The section of the cash flow statement that is the best predictor of a company's future profitability is the Operating Activities Section.  The reason is that the operating activities section shows the net cash from operating activities or the core business activities of the entity.  A business entity's profitability is not determined by subsidiary activities like financing and investing activities.  But it is ascertained by reviewing its operating activities which also define the mission of the business and show the strategies it can deploy to attain its goals.

2. Walmart Stores, Inc. is by far healthier than Sears Holdings Corporation, at least based on the January 30, 2016 statements of cash flows.  For instance, Walmart Stores recorded a Net Cash Flow from operations in the sum of $27,389 million while Sears recorded a negative Net Cash Flow from operations in the sum of $2,167 million.  Again, from the operating activities sections, one can see that Walmart Stores, Inc. was able to make a net income before adjustments of $15,080 million, whereas Sears Holding Corporation performed abysmally poor by incurring a net loss of $1,128 million.

Explanation:

The Sears and Walmart's statements of cash flows are one of the three main financial statements prepared and presented by Sears Holding Corporation or Walmart Stores, Inc. to its stockholders and the general public to show financial information about its activities.  Specifically, the statements of cash flows for Sears and Walmart show the flow of cash under three main activity headings: operating, financing, and investing.  

Two methods can be used by Sears and Walmart to prepare the statement.  They include the indirect method, which starts from the net income, and the direct method, which shows the cash inflows and outflows for each cash flow item for Sears and Walmart.

In addition, DIP paid guaranteed payments to partner Percy of $20,000. If Percy owns a 40% capital and profits interest, how much income will he report for the year and what is its character?

Answers

Answer:

$24,000 ordinary income

$1,600 interest income

$20,000 guaranteed payment.

Explanation:

Calculation for what how much income will Percy report for the year and what is its character

Calculation for Percy Ordinary income: 120,000 - 40,000 - 20,000

= 60,000 x 40%

= 24,000.

Calculation for Percy Interest income:

4,000 x 40%

= 1,600

Guaranteed Payment: 20,000

Therefore what Percy will report will be: $24,000 ordinary income

$1,600 interest income

$20,000 guaranteed payment.

When the price of erasers increases from $1.50 to $2.50, the quantity demanded of pencils is unchanged. The cross-price elasticity of demand between erasers and pencils is

Answers

Answer:

The cross elasticity of demand is zero

Explanation:

Cross elasticity of demand measures the percentage change in the quantity demand of a product occasioned by a change in the price of another but related commodity.

If the the commodities are complements, the cross of elasticity of demand between them would be  negative. his implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a decrease(increase) in the demand of the other.

If the the commodities are substitutes, the cross elasticity  of demand between them would be  positive. This implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a increase (decrease) in the quantity demand of the other.

Where the cross elasticity of demand is zero, this implies that the goods are not in any way related. This implies that a change in the price of one would produce no change in the quantity demand of the other.

On the first day of 2016, Holthausen COmpany acquired the assets of Leftwich Company including several intangible assests. These include a patent on Ledtwicj's primary product, a device called a plentiscope. Leftwich carried the patent on its book for $1,500, but Holthausen believes that the fair value is $200,000. The patent expires in seven years, but companies can be expected to develop competing patents within three years. Holthausen believes that, with expected technlogical improvements, the product is marketable for a t least 20 years.
The registration of the trademark for the Leftwich name is scheduled to expire in 15 years. However, the Leftwich brand name, which Holthausen believes is worth $500,000, could be applied to related products for many years beyond that.
As part of the acquisition, Leftwich's principal researcher left the company. As part of the acquisition, he signed a five-year noncompetition agreement that prevents him from developing competing products. Holthausen paid the scientist $300,000 to sign the agreement.
a. What amount should be capitalized for each of teh identifiable intangible assets?
b. What amount of amortization expense should Holthausen record in 2016 for each asset?

Answers

Answer:

Holthausen Company and Leftwich Company

Intangible Assets:

a) Amount to be capitalized:

1) Patent: $200,000

2) Trademark: $500,000

3) Non-competition Agreement: $300,000

b) Amount of Amortization Expense for 2016:

1) Patent: $200,000/7 years = $28,571.43

2) Trademark: $500,000/15 years = $33,333,33

3) Non-competition Agreement: $300,000/5 = $60,000

Explanation:

The fair values of the "plentiscope" patent and Leftwich's branded trademark should be capitalized as intangible assets, while the cost of the non-competition agreement with Leftwich's principal researcher should be capitalized.

For the amortization of the Leftwich-connected intangibles, we have adopted the straight-line method, in the absence of any prescribed method.  The patent expiration in 7 years was used as the basis for its useful life, despite Holthausen belief that the product could be marketable for at least 20 years.

The trademark was amortized over its remaining useful life of 15 years as given, while the non-competition agreement was amortized for 5 years when the agreement remains effective.

The smaller the required reserve ratio the larger the simple deposit multiplier. Do you agree or disagree with this statement. Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A deposit multiplier is maximum amount of money that can be created for each unit of reserve. It is key requirement for maintaining economy's basic money supply. The simple deposit multiplier is 1 / rr * change in R. Deposit multiplier is the inverse of reserve ratio. The higher the reserve ratio the lesser will be the deposit multiplier. Reserve ratio is the minimum amount of money that must be kept in the deposit.

You want to buy a new sports coupe for $74,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you a loan with an APR of 6.9 percent for 36 months to buy the car.

Required:
a. What will your monthly payments be?
b. What is the effective annual rate on this loan?

Answers

Answer:

a) Monthly payments = $22,969.38

b) Effective rate of return= 7.12%

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

The monthly installment is computed as follows:  

Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor

Loan amount; = 74,500

Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months

r- 6.9%/12 = 0.575 % = 0.00575, n = 36 =

Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+00575)^(-36)/0.00575= 32.434

Monthly installment = Loan amount /annuity factor

=  74,500/32.434= 22,969.38

Required monthly payments = $22,969.38

Effective annual interest rate

Effective rate of return = ((1+r)^n- 1) × 100

where r - monthly interest rate- 6.9%/12 = 0.575%

n- number of months= 12 months

Effective rate of return - (1+00575)^(12) - 1× 100=  7.12%

Effective rate of return= 7.12%

Suppose you have $1,500 and plan to purchase a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures

Answers

Answer:

$ 1,781.53  

Explanation:

The future value of the 5-year CD can be determined by using the future value formula stated below:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

FV is the future value which is expected future amount after 5 years

PV is the initial amount used in purchasing the CD i.e $1500

r is the rate of return on the CD on an annual basis which is 3.5%

n is the number of years the investment would last which is 5 years

FV=$1500*(1+3.5%)^5

FV=$1500*1.187686306

FV=$ 1,781.53

Answers

Answer:

Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000

Explanation:

In the consolidated balance sheet, we record the sum of both parent and subsidiary assets. Here pumpkin and spice both have an inventory of $30,000.

Total inventory in consolidated balance = Pimpkin's Inventory + fair value of Spice's inventory

Total inventory in consolidated balance = $30,000 + $30,000
