From 1991 to​ 2000, the U.S. economy had an annual inflation rate of around 2.76​%. The historical annual nominal​ risk-free rate for this same period was around 5.71​%. Using the approximate nominal interest rate equation and the true nominal interest rate​ equation, compute the real interest rate for that decade. What is the estimated real interest rate using the approximate nominal interest rate equation for that​ decade?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.95% and 2.87%

Explanation:

The computation of the approximate real rate and the estimated real interest rate is shown below:

The Approximate real rate is

= Historic annual nominal risk free rate - Annual inflation rate

= 5.71% - 2.76%

= 2.95%

And, the estimated real interest rate is

= (1 + historical annual nominal risk free rate) ÷ (1 + annual inflation rate) - 1

= (1 + 0.0571) ÷ (1 + 0.0276) - 1

= 2.87%

We simply applied the above formulas so that each one could be determined

Q
In the Metropolis forecast example, we are using cash as a plug number. To keep the examis
simple, we assume that the cash is not sitting in an interest-bearing bank account. Imagine the
cash were in an interest-bearing account, meaning the company would earn interest revenue
based on the cash balance. How would this affect your forecast and forecasting process?

Answers

Answer:

Consider average cash balance that was at the end of previous month and estimate the current month average cash balance and add or less any major increment that makes the forecasting realistic.Use excel or other softwares for forecasting purposes as it automatically adjusts the worksheet if corrections or additions are included in the computation.

Explanation:

The interest earned would be calculated at the end of every day on the cash balance that the company holds in the interest-bearing bank account.

The cash balance would be adjusted to reflect realistic assumptions were made because unrealistic assumptions makes the forecasting unreasonable and meaningless. The first step is to take the previous month end average cash balance and add in it the current month average balance. This will give us the current month cash balance that will be based on realistic assumptions. Use the excel sheets to take affects of estimated cash and other factors that will change due to the change in the cash balances. Excel will take account of all the factors adjusted in the forecasting sheet and adjust these factor's effects within seconds.

Sales revenue for a sporting goods store amounted to $528,000 for the current period. All sales are on account and are subject to a sales tax of 11?%.
Which of the following would be included in the journal entry to record the sales? transaction?
A. A debit to Accounts Receivable for $ 586,080.
B. A credit to Accounts Receivable for $528,000.
C. A debit to Sales Tax Payable for $58,080.
D. A debit to Sales Revenue for $ 528,000.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A. A debit to Accounts Receivable for $ 586,080

Explanation:

Sales tax is an additional amount of money one pays based on a percentage of the selling price of goods and services that are purchased.

The sales tax amount will be added to sales revenue to form the total bill.

Sales revenue ----------------- $528,00

Sales tax -------------------------- 11%

Sales tax amount

$528,00 x 0.11

= $58,080

Therefore, total bill is:

$528,00 + $58,080

=$586,080.

Debit increases an asset(accounts receivable) while credit decreases an asset(accounts receivable).

Since the accounts receivable will increase, it will be on debit side.

If actual overhead incurred during a period exceeds applied overhead, the difference will be a credit balance in the Factory Overhead account at the end of the period.

Which of the following is a reason cash flows may differ from accounting income? The total number of units sold will be different for accounting income and cash flows. Depreciation is a tax-deductible expense but is not a cash outlay. Which of the following best describes incremental cash flows? They are the difference between the cash flows the firm will have if it accepts the project versus the cash flows it will have if it rejects the project. Incremental cash flows are not relevant because they will occur whether or not the project is accepted.

Answers

Answer:

1. Depreciation is a tax-deductible expense but is not a cash outlay.

2. They are the difference between the cash flows the firm will have if it accepts the project versus the cash flows it will have if it rejects the project.

Explanation:

1. Depreciation as a non-cash outlay is removed from the Net Income when it is calculated for tax purposes. However, when calculating the Net Cash-flow, it is added back because the Cash-flow statement deals with how much actual money the business has and because depreciation does not actually take any money, it would need to be added back in the cash-flows as opposed to Accounting income where it is removed.

2. Incremental Cash-flows get their name from the fact that they will add income to a firm. This cash-flow comes if the company accepts a project as opposed to rejecting it and the cash they get from this increases their cash-flow making it incremental.

With an increase in product advertising of $50 million you expect to increase sales by 10,000 units. If unit grow margin is $4,800, will the additional advertising increase product contribution?

Answers

Answer:

Income will decrease by $2,000,000.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Advertising increase= $50,000,000

Units increase= 10,000 units

Unit contribution margin= $4,800

To calculate the total effect on income, we need to use the following formula:

Effect on income= total contribution margin - increase in fixed costs

Effect on income= 10,000*4,800 - 50,000,000

Effect on income= $2,000,000 decrease

Income will decrease by $2,000,000.

What must be the price of a $ 2 comma 000 bond with a 5.8​% coupon​ rate, annual​ coupons, and 30 years to maturity if YTM is 10.1 % ​APR?

Answers

Answer:

Price of bond= $1,196

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond would be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

Calculate the PV of interest payments

Annual interest payment

= 5.8% × 2,000× = 116

PV of interest payment

A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- 116

r- annual yield 5.8%

n = 30

= 116 × (1-(1.101)^(-30)/0.101

= 1084.465

Step 2

PV of redemption Value

PV = $2000 × (1.101)^(-30)

= 111.53

Step 3

Price of bond

= 111.53 + 1084.465159 = 1195.99

Price of bond= $1,196

"Which of the following statements are TRUE regarding the rights agent? I The rights agent usually handles the mechanics of a rights offering II The rights agent is usually the existing transfer agent of the issuer III The rights agent issues the additional shares upon presentation of the rights certificates with payment"

Answers

Answer:

I, II, and III

I The rights agent usually handles the mechanics of a rights offering

II The rights agent is usually the existing transfer agent of the issuer

III The rights agent issues the additional shares upon presentation of the rights certificates with payment

Explanation:

Aright is defined as an offering to existing shareholders to purchase more shares. Usually there is a proportion of original shares the shareholder can now purchase. For example 1 to 5 shares means the shareholder can buy one share for every 5 old shares owned.

A rights agent is a person or entity that is responsible for maintaining records on behalf of rights holders.

When rights are issued, a rights agent is handles sales to shareholders, he is usually the initial transfer agent for the issuing company, and he issues the additional shares when payment and rights certificates are presented.

Answer:

But if they both work together in a way that Alpha produces only apples Beta produces only oranges then they would benefit from trade.

Explanation:

Then alpha should produce only 9 apples an hour, while Beta can produce either 16 oranges or 4 apples an hour.

If Alpha produces oranges there will be a loss because he produces less oranges. But Beta 's choice will not affect the trade.

There are no incentives for Beta to specialize and trade with Alpha.

But if they both work together in a way that Alpha produces only apples Beta produces only oranges then they would benefit from trade.

Answer:

a. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Sam and Bond Dave?

Bond Sam's price will change by -9.12%Bond Dave's price will change by -18.05%

b. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would be the percentage change in the price of Bond Sam and Bond Dave?

Bond Sam's price will change by 10.26%Bond Dave's price will change by 24.35%

Explanation:

Bond Sam

9% / 2 = 4.5% semiannual payments

6 years to maturity = 12 payments

present value = future value = 1000

PV of face value = 1,000 / (1 + 4.5%)¹² = $589.66PV of coupon payments = 35 x 9.11858 (PV annuity factor, 4.5%, 12 periods) = $319.15

new market price = $589.66 + $319.15 = $908.81

if interest increases by 2%, present value (market value) will decrease by $91.19 ⇒ 9.12% decrease

if market interest rates decrease by 2%:

5% / 2 = 2.5% semiannual payments

6 years to maturity = 12 payments

present value = future value = 1000

PV of face value = 1,000 / (1 + 2.5%)¹² = $743.56PV of coupon payments = 35 x 10.25776 (PV annuity factor, 2.5%, 12 periods) = $359.02

new market price = $743.56 + $359.02 = $1,102.58

if interest decrease by 2%, present value (market value) will increase by $102.58 ⇒ 10.26% increase

Bond Dave

9% / 2 = 4.5% semiannual payments

19 years to maturity = 38 payments

present value = future value = 1000

PV of face value = 1,000 / (1 + 4.5%)³⁸ = $187.75PV of coupon payments = 35 x 18.04999 (PV annuity factor, 4.5%, 38 periods) = $631.75

new market price = $187.75 + $631.75 = $819.50

if interest increases by 2%, present value (market value) will decrease by $180.50 ⇒ 18.05% decrease

if market interest rates decrease by 2%:

5% / 2 = 2.5% semiannual payments

6 years to maturity = 12 payments

present value = future value = 1000

PV of face value = 1,000 / (1 + 2.5%)³⁸ = $391.28PV of coupon payments = 35 x 24.3486 (PV annuity factor, 2.5%, 38 periods) = $852.20

new market price = $391.28 + $852.20 = $1,243.48

if interest decrease by 2%, present value (market value) will increase by $243.48 ⇒ 24.35% increase

The Donut Stop acquired equipment for $11,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation and estimates a residual value of $2,200 and a four-year service life. At the end of the second year, the company estimates that the equipment will be useful for four additional years, for a total service life of six years rather than the original four. At the same time, the company also changed the estimated residual value to $1,200 from the original estimate of $2,200.

Required:
Calculate how much the donut stop should record each year for depreciation in years 3 to 6?

Answers

Answer:

$1350

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

depreciation expense under the initial assumptions

($11,000 - $2,200) / 4 = $2200

Accumulated depreciation at the end of year 2 = $2200 x 2 = $4400

Book value at the beginning of year 3 =  $11,000 - $4400 = $6600

Depreciation expense using the new assumptions

($6600 - $1200) / 4 = $1350

Cash                                                                           27000 Dr

     Common Stock                                                            13500 Cr

     Paid in capital in excess of par-Common stock         13500 Cr

Cash                                                    135000 Dr

     Preferred Stock                                   135000 Cr

Explanation:

a.

When we issue stock at premium, we always record the amount received from such issuance of stock at full. So, the cash account will be debited for 4500 * 6 = 27000

However, we record the common stock issued at par value and the remaining is credited under the reserve account which is Paid in capital in excess of par.

Thus the common stock will be credited by its par value of 4500 * 3 = 13500 and the remaining 4500 * 3 will be credited to the Paid in Capital account.

b.

The par value of the preferred stock is 4500 * 30 = 135000

Thus the preferred stock is issued at par and we simply debit the cash received from the issue and credit the preferred stock.

a. Reasons

Variable Production Costs have increased for the Manufacture of 22,400 units.

Fixed assets have been deferred in Inventory for the Manufacture of 22,400 units.

Explanation:

Cost of Goods Manufactured

Manufacturing costs (20,000 units):

Direct materials                  852,000

Direct labor                         202,000

Variable factory overhead   94,000

Fixed factory overhead       112,000

Total                                 1,260,000

Cost of Goods Manufactured

Manufacturing costs (22,400 units):

Direct materials (852,000  / 20,000 × 22,400)                    =  $954,240

Direct labor (202,000   / 20,000 × 22,400)                          = $226,240

Variable factory overhead (94,000   / 20,000 × 22,400)    =  $105,280

Fixed factory overhead                                                         =   $112,000

Total                                                                                       = $1,397,760

Closing Inventory = $1,397,760 / 22,400 × 2,400

                               = $149,760

The estimated net income in the manufacturing of 22,400 units is more than the income of 20,000 units by applying the method of absorption costing.

What do you mean by Absorption costing?

Absorption costs, sometimes referred to as “total costs,” are a management method of taking into account all the costs associated with producing a particular product.

Direct and indirect costs, such as direct assets, direct employment, rent, and insurance, are calculated using this method.

a) The calculation of the estimated income statement for 22,400 units and 20,000 units is shown in the image below.

b) The reason for the difference in the income from operations for the two production levels is because of the presence of closing inventories, which reduces the cost of goods sold and increases the income from operations.

Working note:

[tex]\rm\,Cost \; of \;Goods \;Manufactured \;=\\Manufacturing \; Costs (20,000 units)= Direct \;Materials \;+ Direct \; Labor + Variable \;factory \;overhead + Fixed \;factory \;overhead\\\\Manufacturing costs (20,000 units)=852,000+202,000+94,000+112,000\\\\Manufacturing costs (20,000 units) = \$1,260,000[/tex]

Cost of manufacturing when 22,400 units are produced:

Manufacturing costs (22,400 units):

[tex]\rm\,Manufacturing \; Costs (22,400 units):\\Direct \; Materials (\dfrac{852,000}{20,000} \times 22,400) = $954,240\\\rm\,Direct \;labor \;\dfrac{202,000}{20,000}\times 22,400 = $226,240\\Variable factory overhead \dfrac{94,000}{20,000 }\times 22,400 = $105,280\\Fixed factory overhead = $112,000[/tex]

[tex]\rm\,Cost \; of \;Goods \;Manufactured \;= Manufacturing \; Costs (22,400 units)= Direct \;Materials \;+ Direct \; Labor + Variable \;factory \;overhead + Fixed \;factory \;overhead\\\\\rm\,Cost \; of \;Goods \;Manufactured \; = 954,240+26,240+105,280+ 112,000\\\\\rm\,Cost \; of \;Goods \;Manufactured \; = \$1,397,760\\\\Closing \,Inventory = \dfrac{\$1,397,760}{22,400}\times 2,400 \\\\Closing \,Inventory = \$149,760[/tex]

The adjusted cost of goods sold that appears on the income statement for February is:____
$=

Answers

Answer:

$186,700

Explanation:

The computation of adjusted cost of goods sold is shown below:-

Before that we need to do the following calculations

Raw material consumed = Beginning raw material + Raw material purchases - Ending raw materials - Raw materials included in  manufacturing overhead costs  as indirect materials

= $40,000 + $63,000 - $24,000 - $5,000

= $74,000

Total manufacturing cost = Beginning work in progress + Raw material consumed + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost - Ending work in progress

= $23,000 + $74,000 + $73,700 + $48,000 - $17,000

= $201,700

Unadjusted Cost of goods sold = Raw materials + Total manufacturing cost - Ending finished goods

= $50,000 + $201,700 - $72,000

= $179,700

Adjusted COGS = Unadjusted Cost of goods sold + Underapplied overhead

= $179,700 + ($55,000 - $48,000)

= $179,700 + $7,000

= $186,700

For each of the following scenarios, determine if there is an increase or a decrease in supply for the good in italics.

a. The price of silver increases.
b. Growers of tomatoes experience an unusually good growing season.
c. New medical evidence reports that consumption of organic products reduces the incidence of cancer.
d. The wages of low-skill workers, a resource used to help produce clothing, increase.

Answers

Answer:

a. The price of silver increases. - Supply Increase

As the price of silver increases, it will make silver more profitable therefore producers will increase production to take advantage of the higher prices to make more profit in total.

b. Growers of tomatoes experience an unusually good growing season. - Supply Increase

If growers of tomatoes experience a good season, it means that there will be more tomatoes to harvest. This will increase the supply of tomatoes.

c. New medical evidence reports that consumption of organic products reduces the incidence of cancer. - Supply Increase.

Supply of organic products will increase as a result of an anticipated and an actual increase in the demand for organic products as more people will buy them to avoid getting cancer.

d. The wages of low-skill workers, a resource used to help produce clothing, increase. - Supply Decrease

When inputs into the production process increase, producers will tend to cut down production to enable them save cost and maintain profitability. If the wages of low-skill workers increase, it will mean that an input is now more expensive so production of clothing will reduce thereby reducing its supply.

Bloomfield Bakers accounts for its investment in Clor Confectionary under the equity method. Bloomfield carried the Clor investment at $150,650 and $165,300 at December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2021, respectively. During 2021 Clor recognized $75,600 of net income and paid dividends of $20,500. Assuming that Bloomfield owned the same percentage of Clor throughout 2021, its percentage ownership must have been: (Round your answer to the nearest whole percent):

Answers

Answer:

Suppose that in year 2021, Bloomfield had equal share of percentage of ownership in Clor as they had in previous year i.e 2020, it means that in 2021, the share of percentage that will be held by Bloomfield in Clor will be 26.59%

Explanation:

From the above, we will assume that Bloomfield stake in Clor using equity method and also investment in 2020 was $150,650 and $165,300 in 2021.

Inorder to calculate the percentage , we can make it Y hence we will add amount in 2020 with Y% of (Net income - Dividend declared) inorder to arrive at the total amount in 2021.

Solution.

$150,650 + Y% (75,600 - $20,500) = $165,300

$150,650 + $55,100Y = $165,300

$55,100Y = $165,300 - $150,650

$55,100Y = $14,650

Y% = $14,650/$55,100

Y% = 0.26588

Y = 0.26588 × 100

Y = 26.59

You are thinking of building a new machine that will save you $ 4 comma 000$4,000 in the first year. The machine will then begin to wear out so that the savings decline at a rate of 1 %1% per year forever. What is the present value of the savings if the interest rate is 9 %9% per​ year?

Answers

Answer:

The present value of the savings=$37,064.22

Explanation:

The present value of the savings is the amount that it worths today, this  would be done in two stages;

The first stage is to determined the present of the first cash savings as follows:

PV of the first payment = 4,000 × (1.09)^(-1)=3,669.72

Second step is to determine the present value of the declining perpetuity

PV of declining perpetuity. A perpetuity is the series of cash flow occurring for  the foreseeable future of years.

A- 4,000, g-negative growth rate = 1%,  

interest rate = 9%

PV in year 1 = 4,000× (1-0.09)/(0.09+0.01)

   = 36,400

PV in year 0 =   36,400  × (1.09)^(-1) = 33,394.49

The present value of the savings = 33,394.49 + 3,669.72= 37,064.22

The present value of the savings=$37,064.22

Given the agile manifesto 4 values, describe what value would be the easiest and what value would be the hardest for you to implement in your organization and why.

Answers

Answer and explanation:

values of agile manifesto are:

1. Individual and interactions over process and tools.

2. Working software over comprehensive documentation.

3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.

4. Responding to change over following a plan.

Customer collaboration is by far the easiest to implement given the very fact that we are able to communicate and collaborate with the customers in every step of the way during development ensuring that we produce exactly what the customer wants through continuous feedback

The hardest however is the responding change over plan agile value. This is indeed one of the most important as it ensures a dynamic system in development but not quite easy to implement given the need to make changes to features as at when required while sticking to and modifying plans as needed

Q3) At an output level of 45,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 2.79. If output rises to 48,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be

Answers

Answer:  18.6%

Explanation:

Degree of operating leverage =  % change in Operating cash flow / % change in output

% change in Output

= [tex]\frac{48,000 - 45,000}{45,000}[/tex]

= 6.7%

Degree of operating leverage =  % change in Operating cash flow / % change in output

2.79 = % change in Operating cash flow/ 6.7%

% change in Operating cash flow = 2.79 * 6.7%

% change in Operating cash flow = 18.6%

Movements in individual stock prices tend to be Group of answer choices positively correlated positively correlated with inflation negatively correlated positively correlated with changes in interest rates

Answers

Answer:

Option A (positively correlated) is the correct choice.

Explanation:

A stock for whom the valuation hasn't adjusted from over timeframe would have a slight Weighted Analysis and perhaps a product where price has plummeted and over timeframe would have a measured Analysis loss.The share price would typically vary considerably as shareholders purchase securities during the business day. Because more customers look to purchase something and decrease as companies began consuming more than just the stock, the stock value will change.

The other three choices are not related to the given situation. So that Option A would be the correct one.

Tucker Company makes chairs. Tucker has the following production budget for January - March.
January February March
Units Produced 9666 11971 9743
Each chair produced uses 4 board feet of wood. Management wants ending inventory levels of raw materials to equal 20% gf the production needs (in wood) for the next month.
How many board feet of wood does Tucker need to purchase in February? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer: 46,101 board feet of wood

Explanation:

Purchases can be calculated using the formula;

Purchases = Total Production Needs + Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory

Total Production Needs

= Units produced * boards required per unit

= 11,971 * 4

= 47,884 units needed.

Ending Inventory.

This should be 20% of production needs for the next month

= 20% * (9,743 * 4)

= 7,794 units

Beginning Inventory

This will be the ending inventory of January. The ending inventory of January is 20% of February needs.

= 20% * 47,884

= 9,577 units.

Purchases for February = 47,884 + 7,794 - 9,577

= 46,101 board feet of wood
