Answer:
The answer is $88,880,000
Explanation:
Multiplier effect = 1 / required reserve ratio
Required reserve ratio = 9 percent
Multiplier effect is therefore;
1/0.09
=11.11
Change is money supply is increase in reserve multiplied by multiplier effect
Increment in reserve = $8milion
11.11 x 8million
=$88,880,000
So, resulting change in the money supply is $88,880,000
The overhead costs for a company are presently $X per month. The management team of the company in cooperation with the employees is ready to implement a comprehensive improvement program to reduce these costs. If you (a) consider an observation of actual overhead costs for one month analogous to an output unit, (b) estimate the overhead costs for the first month of program implementation to be 1.15X due to extra front-end effort, and (c) consider a 90% improvement curve applicable to the situation, what is your estimate of the percentage reduction in present overhead costs per month after 30 months of program implementation
Answer:
31.42%
Explanation:
The computation of the estimate of the percentage reduction in present overhead costs per month is shown below:-
n = log s ÷ log2
= log 0.90 ÷ log 2
= -0.152
Now we will use the learning curve equation which is here below:
Z30 = 1.15X × 30^(-0.152)
= 0.685765148
So, the cost is reduced by
= 1 - 0.685765148
= 0.314234852
or
= 31.42%

What would you pay for a bond that pays an annual coupon of $70, paid semiannually, par value, matures in 6 years, and has a yield to maturity of 8%
Answer:
Price per bond is $953.77
Explanation:
The price to be paid for the bond can be computed using pv excel function as below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the yield to maturity of 8%
nper is number of coupons that the bond would pay i.e 6 annual coupons in 6 years
pmt is the annual coupon of $70
fv is the face value of $1000 by default
=-pv(8%,6,70,1000)=$953.77

At July 31, Farmer Company has this bank information: cash balance per bank $8,344; outstanding checks $804; deposits in transit $1,383; and a bank service charge $58.
Determine the adjusted cash balance per bank at July 31.
The adjusted cash balance per bank at July 31:___________.
Answer:
The adjusted balance per bank is $8923
Explanation:
Adjusted cash balance per bank
Cash balance per bank (unadjusted) 8344
(+) Deposits in transit 1383
(-) Outstanding checks (804)
Cash balance per bank (adjusted) 8923
The adjusted cash balance per bank is calculated by adjusting the transactions that do not appear on the current bank statement.
The deposits in transit is the amount of cash deposited in the bank, that will increase the bank balance, which is still in process and has not been added to the bank account as of now. Thus, we will add this amount to calculate the adjusted bank balance.
The outstanding checks amount is the amount of checks that have been issued by the business but which are yet to be presented by the recipients of checks and will result in a reduction in the bank balance. Thus, we deduct them to calculate the adjusted balance.
The bank charge is deducted by the bank itself thus we assume that it has already been deducted. So, no adjustment is made for this.
Johnson's Plumbing's fixed costs are $700,000 and the unit contribution margin is $17. What amount of units must be sold in order to realize an operating income of $100,000
Answer:
Target profit in units = 47058.82 rounded off to 47059 units
Explanation:
The break even units of sales are the number of units that must be sold in order for the company to have enough total revenue to cover its total costs. It is a point in the number of units where there is no profit or no loss.
We can use the break even analysis and formulas to calculate the number of units required to earn a certain target profit. Thus, we will just need to add the target profit amount to the fixed costs in the break even in units formula. The formula to calculate the target profit in units is,
Target profit in units = (Fixed costs + Target profit) / Contribution margin per unit
Target profit in units = (700000 + 100000) / 17
Target profit in units = 47058.82 rounded off to 47059 units

Exhibit 35-4 Refer to Exhibit 35-4. Under a fixed exchange rate system, at the exchange rate of E 3, the dollar is __________ and there is a __________.
Please find diagram for question attached
Question options:
a.
overvalued; surplus of dollars
b.
undervalued; shortage of pesos
c.
overvalued; shortage of dollars
d.
undervalued; surplus of pesos
Answer:
Overvalued and there is a shortage of dollars
Explanation:
An increase in dollar price to buy peso means that dollar here is overvalued as it is above the equilibrium price(E2),and therefore it would be expensive to buy goods that are sold for a certain amount of dollars or in dollar currency with the Mexican pesos. This is because the fixed exchange rate system tries to ensure smooth and inexpensive trade between countries as it has to do with currency trading barriers by pegging a currency to another(in this case dollars) but here the dollar price increase for peso makes it more expensive to buy dollar products with pesos. Also this is caused here by the shortage of dollars.

The Destin Company has one temporary difference of $160 caused by accelerated tax depreciation on 12/31/14. The difference will reverse evenly over the next four years. Tax Rates are 20% in 2014, 30% in 2015, and 40% in 2016 and beyond. Pretax book income in 2014 is $1,000. What is 2014 Income Tax Expense?
Answer: = $168
Explanation:
Destin Company had a $1,000 income in 2014 but also a temporary difference of $160.
This means that they were taxed on the income less the temporary difference.
= 1,000 - 160
= $840
Tax Expense = 840 * 20%
= $168
Joe wants to start an SEP-IRA that will have $460,000 in it when he retires in 15 years. How much should he invest semiannually in his IRA to do this if the interest is 15% compounded semiannually?
Answer:
$4,448.77
Explanation:
time until retirement = 15 years x 2 semiannual contributions = 30 payments
interest rate =15% / 2 = 7.5%
future value = $460,000
we can use the future value of an annuity formula:
future value = payment x annuity factor
FV annuity factor 7.5%, 30 periods = 103.3994
payment = future value / annuity factor
payment = $460,000 / 103.3994 = $4,448.77
The amount that should be invested is $4,448.77.
Calculation of the amount:Since
time until retirement = 15 years x 2
= 30 payments
And,
interest rate =15% / 2 = 7.5%
Also,
future value = $460,000
Now we can use the future value of an annuity formula:
Here,
future value = payment x annuity factor
where,
FV annuity factor 7.5%, 30 periods = 103.3994
So,
payment = future value / annuity factor
= $460,000 / 103.3994
= $4,448.77
hence, The amount that should be invested is $4,448.77.

The employer amount of FICA taxes that Red Mountain is required to pay is equal to the amount that it withholds from its employees. Assume no other payroll taxes are incurred at this time. What is Red Mountain's total expense with regards to this payroll
Answer:
$189,000
Explanation:
The computation of total expense with regards to this payroll is shown below:-
Total expense = Salaries and wages earned by employees + Employer's portion of FICA taxes

Answer:
B. 20.0% and 35.0%
Explanation:
Jett Co.'s Average tax rates for 2015 = Income taxes paid / Taxable income
When, Taxable Income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expenses
= $1,200 - $850 - $200
= $150
Hence, Jett Co.'s Average tax rates for 2015 = $30 / $150
= 20%
Jett Co.'s Average tax rates for 2014 = Income taxes paid / Taxable income
When Taxable Income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expenses
= $1,000 - $700 - $200
= $100
Hence, Jett Co.'s Average tax rates for 2014 = $35 / $100
= 35%
