Answer:
b
Explanation:
The bonds in our model have a maturity close to zero; they just pay the current interest rate, i, as a flow over time. We could consider, instead, a discount bond, such as a U.S. Treasury Bill. This type of asset has no explicit interest payments (called coupons) but pays a principal of, say, $1000 at a fixed date in the future. A Bill with one- year maturity pays off one year from the issue date, and similarly for 3-month or 6-month Bills. Let PB be the price of a discount bond with one-year maturity and principal of $1000. a. Is PB greater than or less than $1000.
a. Is P^B greater than or less than $1000?
b. What is the one-year interest rate on these discount bonds?
c. If prises, what happens to the interest rate on these bonds?
d. Suppose that, instead of paying $1000 in one year, the bond pays $1000 in two years. What is the interest rate per year on this two-year discount bond?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Part a.
[tex]P^{B}[/tex] will be less than $1000.
Reason: [tex]P^{B}[/tex] + interest = $1000, since interest >0 (Cannot be negative)
Hence,
[tex]P^{B}[/tex] < $1000
Part b.
Assuming the amount of interest to be i, [tex]P^{B}[/tex] would be $1000 - I
Rate of interest would be:
($1000 - ($1000-i)) / ($1000 - i) = i / ($1000 - i)
Rate of interest = i / ($1000 - i)
Part c.
If [tex]P^{B}[/tex] rises, the interest rate on these bonds would come down. Going back to a. [tex]P^{B}[/tex] = $1000 - i, and if [tex]P^{B}[/tex] rises, it implies that i reduces, which means that rate of interest will be reduced.
Part d.
If $1000 is a payment two years later, it implies that i (refer to b.) is the interest for two years. Assuming annual compounding, let's calculate rate of interest as follows:
Interest for two year (i) = $1000 - [tex]P^{B}[/tex] at the rate of i per year
= [tex]P^{B}[/tex] X i / 100 + ([tex]P^{B}[/tex] X (1+i/100))X i/100
We can solve for i to get annual rate of interest.

Tom is comparing two printers for his small business. The purchase price for Printer A is $1,000, with maintenance and operations costs of $400. Printer B increases productivity by $100, and reduces the maintenance and operations costs by half. The expected lifetime value is one year for both printers. What is the economic value to the customer (EVC) of Printer B
Answer:
EVC = $1300
Explanation:
In this question, we need to find the economic value to the customer (EVC) of Printer B.
First of all we need to know the basics of Economic value of a product,
It is basically starts with evaluating the additional values of the product first which are associated with it and then, those values are added to the next best product in the market. In this case, Printer A is the next best product whose price is $1000.
We know that, Printer B increase productivity by $100
Reduce the maintenance and operations costs by half, which means $400/2 = $200.
Additional value of the product = $100 + $200
Cost of the next best product = $1000
So,
According to the EVC definition and understandings, we must add the additional values of the product to value of the next best product.
Hence,
EVC = $1000 + $100 + $200
EVC = $1300

Tierney Construction, Inc. recently lost a portion of its financial records in an office theft. The following accounting information remained in the office files:
Cost of goods sold $88,250
Work in process inventory, January 1, 2016 21,800
Work in process inventory, December 31, 2016 17,250
Selling and Administrative Expenses 20,400
Net Income 35,500
Factory overhead 21,650
Direct materials inventory, January 1, 2016 28,200
Direct materials inventory, December 31, 2016 15,375
Cost of goods manufactured 107,350
Finished goods inventory, January 1, 2016 35,675
Direct labor cost incurred during the period amounted to 2.5 times the factory overhead. The CFO of Tierney Construction, Inc. has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and to report to him by the end of tomorrow.
What should be the amount in the finished goods inventory at December 31, 2016?
Answer:
$54,775
Explanation:
The computation of the finished goods inventory is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of Goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + Opening stock of Finished goods - Closing stock of Finished goods
Now
Ending Stock of Finished goods = Cost of goods manufactured + Opening stock of Finished goods - Cost of Goods sold
So,
Ending Stock of Finished goods is
= $107,350 + $35,675 - $88,250
= $54,775
Grimm Manufacturing is trying to determine the equivalent units for conversion costs with 15,000 units of ending work in process at 40% completion when there is a total 45,000 physical units. There are no beginning units in the department. Conversion costs occur evenly throughout the entire production period. What are the equivalent units for conversion costs for the current period
Answer: 36000 units
Explanation:
Ending work in process = 15,000 units
Completion rate = 40%
Total physical units = 45,000
The units completed will be:
= Total Units - Ending working in process
= 45,000 - 15,000
= 30,000
Since only 40% of the ending work in process inventory units has been completed, the completed units will then be:
= 15,000 × 40%
= 15000 × 0.4
= 6,000 units.
Then, the equivalent units for conversion costs for the current period will be:
= 30,000 + 6,000
= 36,000 units.

After graduating from college, you are hired by the Ford automobile company as an economic analyst. For your first project, you are asked to estimate what would happen to the sales of Ford Mustangs as a result of a change in (i) the price of a Chevrolet Camaro, (ii) the price of gasoline, and (iii) consumer incomes. You are given the following elasticities:
price elasticity Of demand for Ford Mustangs= -2.5
Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and Camaros =1.5
Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and gasoline= -0.80
Income elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs= 3.00
a. Suppose the price Of a Camaro falls by 10%. With all else being equal, sales of Ford Mustangs would______ by_______%
b. If the price of gasoline increases by 20%, the quantity of Ford Mustangs would _________by_______%
Answer:
a. Decrease by 15%
b. decrease by 16%
Explanation:
a. As we know that
Camaro and ford mustangs would be considered as a substitute goods as the cross price elasticity of demand comes in positive so in the case when the price of camaro decrease so the quantity of Mustang would also decreased by 1.5 ×10% = 15%
b. As we know that Gasoline and mustang would be considered as complementary goods so if the price of gasoline would increase by 20% so the quantity of mustang be decreased by 0.80 × 20% = 16%

Indirect materials 195,000
Other factory overhead 90,000
Materials purchased 5,100,000
Total manufacturing costs for the period 6,170,000
Materials inventory, end of period 480,000
Using this information, determine the following missing amounts:
A. Cost of goods sold.
B. Direct materials cost.
C. Direct labor cost.
Answer:
A. $5,820,000
B. $4,425,000
C. $1,130,000
Explanation:
A. Cost of goods sold.
Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross Profit
= $7,270,000 - $1,450,000
= $5,820,000
B. Direct materials cost.
Direct materials cost = Material Purchases - Ending Material Inventory - Indirect Materials
= $5,100,000 - $480,000 - $195,000
= $4,425,000
C. Direct labor cost.
Direct labor cost = Total Manufacturing Cost - Indirect labor - indirect materials - direct materials - other factory overheads
= $6,170,000 - $330,000 - $195,000 - $4,425,000 - $90,000
= $1,130,000
The next dividend payment by Zone, Inc., will be $2.08 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $42 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
10.95%
Explanation:
According to the gordon growth model,
the value of stock (price) = dividend / required return - growth rate
42 = 2.08/ r - 0.06
42(r-0.06) = 2.08
2.08/42 = r - 0.06
r = 10.95%
Pack-and-Go, a new competitor to FedEx and UPS, does intra-city package deliveries in seven major metropolitan areas. The performance of Pack-and-Go is measured by management as: (1) delivery time (relative to budgeted delivery time), (2) on-time delivery rates (defined as agreed-upon delivery date/time plus or minus a specified cushion), and (3) percentage of lost or damaged deliveries. In response to competitive pressures, Pack-and-Go is evaluating an investment in new technology that would improve customer service and delivery quality, particularly in terms of items (2) and (3) above. The annual cost of the new technology, for each of the seven metropolitan areas serviced by Pack-and-Go, is expected to be $80,000. You have gathered the following information regarding delivery performance under both existing operations and after implementing the new technology:
Decision Alernative
After Implementing
Item Current System New Technology
On-time delivery rate 80% 95%
Variable cost per package lost or damaged $30 $30
Allocated fixed cost per package lost or damaged $10 $10
Annual number of packages lost or damaged 300 100
Based on a recent marketing study commissioned by Pack-and-Go, the company estimates that each percentage point increase in the on-time performance rate would lead to an annual revenue increase of $10,000. The average contribution margin ratio for packages delivered by Pack-and-Go is estimated as 40%.
Required:
1. From a financial perspective, should pack-and-Go invest in the new technology?
2. Based on the data collected by Pack-and-Go, the company is fairly confident about the reduction in costs associated with lost or damaged packages. However, because of uncertainties in terms of pricing in the markets in which Pack-and-Go operates, it is less sure about the predicted increase in revenues associated with the implementation of the new technology. What is the break-even increase in annual revenue that would justify the investment in the new technology?
Answer:
Pack-and-Go
1. From a financial perspective, Pack-and-Go should invest in the new technology. It will enjoy a contribution margin of 97.5%.
2. The break-even increase in annual revenue that would justify the investment in the new technology is:
Fixed cost = Contribution
$80,000 = Contribution - $8,000
= $72,000 ($80,000 - $8,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected cost of new technology investment = $80,000
Delivery performance:
Decision Alternative
After Implementing
Item Current System New Technology
On-time delivery rate 80% 95%
Variable cost per package lost
or damaged $30 $30
Allocated fixed cost per
package lost or damaged $10 $10
Annual number of packages
lost or damaged 300 100
Variable cost for lost or
damaged packages $9,000 (300*$30) $3,000 (100*$30)
Fixed cost for lost or
damaged packages 3,000 (300*$10) $1,000 (100*$10)
Total cost for lost or
damaged packages $12,000 $4,000
Increase in the on-time performance rate = 95% - 80% = 15%
Increase in annual Revenue = $10,000 * 15 = $150,000
Savings from lost or damaged packages = 8,000 ($12,000 - $4,000)
Total savings from new technology = $158,000
Annual cost of new technology = (80,000)
Net savings from new technology = $78,000
Contribution margin based on net savings = $78,000/$80,000 * 100 = 97.5%
Average contribution margin = 40%
An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $17. If Damon purchases the component from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities would be unused and could be rented out for $10,000. If Damon purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on income would be:
Answer:
C. a $10,000 decrease.
Explanation:
Calculation for what the effect on income would be
First step is to calculate Make
Make=$100,000 + $160,000 + $60,000
Make = $320,000
Second step is to calculate Buy
Buy= $20,000 × $17 = $340,000 – $10,000
Buy = $330,000
Now let calculate the effect on income
Effect on income = $320,000 – $330,00
Effect on income = –$10,000 decrease
Therefore the effect on income would be –$10,000 decrease
Kara files her income tax return 64 days after the due date of the return without obtaining an extension from the IRS. Along with the return, she remits a check for $15,400, which is the balance of the tax she owes. Note: Assume 30 days in a month.
Required:
Disregarding the interest element, enter Kara's penalty amount for each, failure to file and failure to pay.
Failure to pay________$
Failure to file________$
Answer:
failure to file :$2079
failure to pay:$231
Explanation:
given data
remits a check = $15,400
days in a month = 30
return = 64 days
solution
computation of Kara's penalty amount for failure to pay
failure to pay will be
failure to pay = 0.5% of tax owed × number of months .......................1
failure to pay = 0.5% × $15400 × 3
failure to pay = $231
and
Computation of Kara's penalty amount for failure to file
failure to file will be
failure to file = (5% of tax owed × number of months or part thereof) - failure to pay penalty .......................2
failure to file = (5% × $15400 × 3) - $231
failure to file = $2310 - $231
failure to file = $2079

Klingon's current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $10 million, current liabilities of $830,000, long-term debt of $5 million and net working capital of $248,000. If all the current accounts were liquidated today, the company would receive $1.15 million cash. What is the book value of Klingon's equity?
a. $5,248,000.00.
b. $11,078,000.00.
c. $5,000,000.00.
d. $22,800,000.00.
e. $12,000,000.00.
Answer:
a. $5,248,000.00.
Explanation:
Calculation for the book value of Klingon's equity
Book value = $248,000 + $5,000,000
Book value = $5,248,0000
Therefore the book value of Klingon's equity will be $5,248,0000
(b) The citizens of this country are in general very clever people, but they are not good at multiplying by 2. This made shopping for potatoes excruciatingly difficult for many citizens. Therefore it was decided to introduce a new unit of currency, such that potatoes would be the numeraire. A sack of potatoes costs one unit of the new currency while the same relative prices apply as in the past. In terms of the new currency, what is the price of meatballs
Answer: 2 sacks of potatoes
Explanation:
In the past, meatballs cost 4 crowns per crock which was twice the price of Potatoes at 2 crowns per sack.
Now that potatoes were are the new currency but relative prices apply, the same notion above applies too.
If meatballs are twice the price of potatoes and potatoes are now the currency, then meatballs which are still twice the price of potatoes must be:
= 2 * 1 sack of potatoes
= 2 sacks of potatoes

Eric wants to invest in government securities that promise to pay $1,000 at maturity. The opportunity cost (interest rate) of holding the security is 13.80%. Assuming that both investments have equal risk and Ericâs investment time horizon is flexible, which of the following investment options will exhibit the lower price?
a. An investment that matures in four years
b. An investment that matures in five years
Answer:
The second option which 5 years to maturity exhibited a lower price of
$523.95
Explanation:
In order to ascertain the option with lower, it is important we determine the price of each investment based on the fact the price of an investment opportunity today is the present value of its future cash flow is the maturity value of $1000 in both cases:
a.
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV=price of investment
FV=future value=$1000
r= 13.80%.
n=4 years
PV=$1000/(1+13.80%)^4
PV=$596.25
b.
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV=price of investment
FV=future value=$1000
r= 13.80%.
n=5 years
PV=$1000/(1+13.80%)^5
PV= $523.95
