Answer:
1. Increasing
2. A. The elasticity of private saving with respect to the after-tax real interest rate
B. The response of private saving to changes in the government budget deficit
C. The elasticity of investment with respect to the interest rate
Explanation:
1. It is difficult to implement both of these policies at the same time because reducing taxes on private spending has the effect of Increasing the government budget deficit.
A Government budget deficit is acquired when the government spends more than it earns. The Government earns money from taxes and if it spends more than it receives in taxes, that will lead to a deficit. If taxes on Private spending are reduced, this will lead to less tax revenue for the government thereby increasing the Deficit.
2. All of the listed options are useful in determining which policy would be a more effective way to raise investment.
The elasticity of private saving with respect to the after-tax real interest rate refers to how much private saving changes in reaction to a change in the tax rates. This can enable one decide how much investment will be expected if the Government reduces or increases taxes.
The response of private saving to changes in the government budget deficit is also a useful factor to look at because private savings reduce when government deficits reduce.
Also how much does investment change by due to interest rates. This will be important to note in terms of Private Investment to see if it will be beneficial to use it over reducing the government budget deficit given a certain interest rate.

On January 1, 2020, the Oriole Company had $2,990,000 of $10 par value common stock outstanding that was issued at par and Retained Earnings of $1,150,000. The company issued 146,000 shares of common stock at $16 per share on July 1. On December 15, the board of directors declared a 10% stock dividend to stockholders of record on December 31, 2020, payable on January 15, 2021. The market value of Oriole Company stock was $17 per share on December 15 and $17 per share on December 31. Net income for 2020 was $580,000.
Required:
Journalize the issuance of stock on July 1 and the declaration of the stock dividend on December 15.
Answer:
Oriole Company
Journal Entries:
July 1:
Debit Cash Account $2,336,000
Credit Common Stock $1,460,000
Credit Paid-in In Excess of Common Stock $876,000
To record the issuance of 146,000 shares of common stock, par $10 at $16 per share.
December 15:
Debit Retained Earnings $445,000
Stock Dividends Payable $445,000
To record the declaration of a 10% stock dividend.
Explanation:
a) Stockholders of record on December 31, 2020:
Number of shares in issue at beginning 299,000
Number of shares issued on July 1 146,000
Total 445,000
10% of 445,000 = 44,500 shares
b) Stock Dividends declared on December 15 will result to the issuance of 44,500 shares to stockholders. To finance this stock dividend, the Retained Earnings account is debited while the Stock Dividends Payable is credited. When the shares are issued on January 15, the Stock Dividends Payable (Distributable) will be debited and the Common Stock credited with the par value. The market price of $17 does not affect the company's records.
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?
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
Identifying the median voter
Sam, Andrew, and Darnell are roommates who are trying to decide how much money to spend on heat in their apartment each month.
A. Andrew would ideally contribute $15. However, he would prefer contributing $55 to contributing $0 because he does not want to freeze.
B. Sam hates being cold. Therefore, he would ideally like each to contribute $55 to heat, and his utility declines at a constant rate as the roommates decrease the amount of money they spend.
C. Darnell does not care about heat and is on a tight budget. Therefore, he prefers to contribute no money to heat, and his utility declines at a constant rate as the roommates increase the amount of money they spend.
Suppose the three roommates vote on spending either so, $15, or $55 on heat using the Borda count system of voting. That is, each roommate awards three points to his first choice, two points to his second choice, and one point to his third choice
Answer:
The median voter here is $55 based on the allocated points in order of preference.
This is the vote that avoids the two extremes of 5 and 7
Explanation:
Voting with the Borda count system of voting:
$0 $15 $55
Andrew 1 3 2
Sam 1 2 3
Darnell 3 2 1
Total points 5 7 6
The median voter is the selection that is based on choosing the median in a spectrum, so that the extremes are avoided. In this case, the extremes win points 5 and 4, with the median as 6.
The voting was done by using the Borda count system of voting. With this system, points are allocated based on personal preferences. The preference that is favored most is given the highest point, and so on. This implies that the preference that is least favoured is given the lowest point.

Using ABC in a service company
Blanchette Plant Service completed a special landscaping job for Kerry Company. Blanchette uses ABC and has the following predetermined overhead allocation rates:
The Kerry job included $750 in plants; $1,300 in direct labor; one design; and 30 plants.
Requirements
What is the total cost of the Kerry job?
If Kerry paid $3,540 for the job, what is the operating income or loss?
If Blanchette desires an operating income of 30% of cost, how much should the company charge for the Kerry job?
Answer:
Blanchette Plant Service
ABC Costing Technique:
1. Total cost of the Kerry job:
Plants = $750
Direct labor = 1,300
Total cost = $2,050
2. Determination of operating income or loss (Kerry's job):
Service Revenue = $3,540
less cost of service 2,050
Operating income = $1,490
3. With desired operating income of 30% of cost:
Operating income = $615 ($2,050 x 30%)
The company can charge the Kerry job $2,665 ($2,050 + 615) or ($2,050 x 1.3)
Explanation:
Operating income or loss is the difference between revenue and costs of providing the services or goods. When the revenue exceeds the operating cost, the difference is an operating income. When the revenue is exceeded by the operating cost, the difference is an operating loss. While the former means that the organization has added value to its resources, the latter implies that the organization has lost some value to its resources, thereby reducing the equity of the owners in the business entity.
Suppose a seven-year, $ 1 comma 000$1,000 bond with aa 7.7 %7.7% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading with a yield to maturity of 6.45 %6.45%. a. Is this bond currently trading at a discount, at par, or at a premium? Explain. b. If the yield to maturity of the bond rises to 7.36 %7.36% (APR with semiannual compounding), what price will the bond trade for?
Answer:
a. Premium
b. $1,018.34
Explanation:
a. For computing the present value we need to apply the formula which is shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 6.45% ÷ 2 = 3.225%
NPER = 7 years × 2 = 14 years
PMT = $1,000 × 7.7% ÷2 = $38.50
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $1,069.53
Since the present value is more than the face value so the bond is currently sold at a premium
b. For computing the present value we need to apply the formula which is shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 7.36% ÷ 2 = 3.68%
NPER = 7 years × 2 = 14 years
PMT = $1,000 × 7.7% ÷2 = $38.50
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $1,018.34

Smith Services, Inc., was a trucking company established in 2000 and owned by Tony Smith as the sole shareholder. Smith Services, Inc., had an account with Laker Express, a fuel provider, and often would charge fuel purchases for the company trucks to that account. Smith’s employees would fuel their vehicles and sign the account slip with a notation that the purchase was for Smith Services, Inc. Laker Express would bill Smith Services regularly for the charges on the account. After several months of low business, Smith Services ceased doing business and was dissolved in 2013, with its assets being distributed to creditors. Laker Express only recovered a small part of the amount owed by Smith Services, Inc. Tony Smith then opened up a new trucking service business as a sole proprietor. Laker Express sought to recover Smith Services' unpaid fuel charges, which amounted to about $35,000, from Smith. He argued that he was not personally liable for a corporate debt. Should a court hold Tony Smith personally liable?
Assume that in addition to the facts given, that evidence was presented to the court that Smith, his wife, and their kids regularly used the account at Laker Express to fill up their personal vehicles. Does this change the outcome?
1. Given this new evidence, a court likely (would, would not) find that Laker Express was tricked or misled into dealing with the corporation rather than the individual.
2. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation was undercapitalized.
3. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation was created to evade an existing legal obligation.
4. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation failed to comply with the required corporate formalities and meetings.
5. The court likely (would, would not) find that the personal and corporate interests were commingled to such an extent that the corporation had no separate identity with regard to the relationship with Laker Express.
6. Because of these findings, the court likely (would, would not) pierce the corporate veil and hold Tony Smith personally responsible for the debt to Laker Express.
Answer:
Smith Services, Inc. and Laker Express
a. A court should not hold Tony Smith personally liable for the corporate debt of Smith Services, Inc to the tune of $35,000 representing unpaid fuel charges to Laker Express. This decision is given based on the facts presented in the case, so far.
b. Assuming that in addition to the given facts, evidence was presented to the court that Smith, his wife, and their kids regularly used the account at Laker Express to fill up their personal vehicles, then this evidence changes the outcome. Smith Service, Inc. has met one of the conditions for piercing the corporate veil. This condition is commingling the corporate account with personal expenses and use of corporate assets. This may also question if proper accounting records were being kept at the Smith Services.
c. Therefore,
1. Given this new evidence, a court likely (would, would not) find that Laker Express was tricked or misled into dealing with the corporation rather than the individual.
2. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation was undercapitalized.
3. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation was created to evade an existing legal obligation.
4. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation failed to comply with the required corporate formalities and meetings.
5. The court likely (would, would not) find that the personal and corporate interests were commingled to such an extent that the corporation had no separate identity with regard to the relationship with Laker Express.
6. Because of these findings, the court likely (would, would not) pierce the corporate veil and hold Tony Smith personally responsible for the debt to Laker Express.
Explanation:
To protect the legal status of corporations like Smith Services Inc. as limited liability entities, State courts reluctantly pierce the corporate veil, unless the requirements, which vary from state to state, are met. If Tony Smith does not the court to pierce the corporate veil of Smith Services, Inc., his former company should have used corporate assets only for corporate purposes. Based on the unpaid fuel charges, Tony Smith did not maintain the separation of ownership from his Smith Services, Inc. since he, his wife, their kids, and apparently the employees fuelled their personal cars on fuel charge to Laker Express for Smith Services, Inc. to offset.
1. Given this new evidence, a court would likely find that Laker Express was tricked or misled into dealing with the corporation rather than the individual.
2. The court would not likely find that the corporation was undercapitalized.
3. The court would not likely find that the corporation was created to evade an existing legal obligation.
4. The court likely would not find that the corporation failed to comply with the required corporate formalities and meetings.
5. The court likely would find that the personal and corporate interests were commingled to such an extent that the corporation had no separate identity with regard to the relationship with Laker Express.
6. Because of these findings, the court likely would pierce the corporate veil and hold Tony Smith personally responsible for the debt to Laker Express.
According to the case in hand, Tony Smith, the sole owner of Smith Services, a trucking company was accused of misappropriation of fuel for several years, up to the tune of $35, 000 which may or may not be the reason why the company went bankrupt.

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?
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

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.
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.

Answer:
16,002
Explanation:
A company has the following budget information
Sales = $118,000
COGS= $48,500
Depreciation expense= $1,500
Interest expense= $250
Other expense= $41,880
The company budgets 40% for income tax expense
= 40/100
= 0.4
The first step is to calculate the total expense incurred in the company
Total expense= COGS+depreciation expense+Interest expense+Other expenses
= $48,500+$1,500+$250+$41,880
= $92,130
The next step is to calculate the pre-tax income
Pre-tax income= Sales-total expenses
= $118,800-$92,130
= $26,670
The next step is to calculate the income tax expense
Income tax expense= $26,670×0.4
= $10,668
Therefore, the budgeted net income can be calculated as follows
Budgeted net income= Pre-tax income-income tax expense
= 26,670-10,668
= 16,002
Hence the budgeted net income is 16,002

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.
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

The company has an opportunity to sell 40,000 additional units at $12 per unit. The additional sales would not affect its current expected sales. Direct materials and labor costs per unit would be the same for the additional units as they are for the regular units. However, the additional volume would create the following incremental costs: (1) total overhead would increase by 16% and (2) administrative expenses would increase by $172,000.
Calculate the combined total net income if the company accepts the offer to sell additional units at the reduced price of $12 per unit.

Answer:
the combined total net income = $ 1,576,000
Incremental Income = $4,000
Explanation:
Calculation of the combined total net income if the company accepts the offer to sell additional units at the reduced price of $12 per unit.
Sales (400,000 units) $ 6,000,000
Additional Sales (40,000 units × $12) $480,000
Combined Sales $6,480,000
Costs and expenses :
Direct materials (800,000 + (800,000 / 400,000 × 40,000)) ( $880,000)
Direct labor (1,600,000 + (1,600,000 / 400,000 × 40,000)) ( $1,760,000)
Overhead 400,000 × 1.16 ($464,000)
Selling expenses ($600,000 )
Administrative expenses ($1,028,000 + $172,000) ($1,200,000)
Net income $ 1,576,000
Incremental Income / (loss)
Net Income After Accepting Offer $ 1,576,000
Less Income Before Accepting Offer $ 1,572,000
Incremental Income / (loss) $4,000
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.
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.
From past records it is known that 10% of items from a production line are defective. If two items are selected at random, what is the probability that only one is defective?
Answer:
0.2
Explanation:
The Probability distribution is the function which describes the likelihood of possible values assuming a random variable. The 10% of the items from the production line are assumed to be defective. There is a sample selection of 2 items. The probability that one of the item among the selected sample of two items is found defective is 0.2 (2 items sample *10%)
On January 1, an investment account is worth 300,000. M months later, the value has increased to 315,000 and 15,000 is withdrawn. 2M months prior to the end of the year, the account is again worth 315,000 and 15,000 is withdrawn. On December 31, the account is worth 315,000. The annual effective yield rate, using the dollar-weighted method, is 16%. Calculate M.
Answer:
M = 3
Explanation:
The first withdrawal takes place 1 - M/12 months until the end of the year. The second withdrawal takes place 2M/12 months before the end of the year.
$315,000 = ($300,000 x 1.16) - {$15,000 x [1 + 0.16(1 - M/12)]} - {$15,000 x [1 + 0.16(2M/12)]}
$315,000 = $348,000 - [$15,000 x (1.16 - 0.16M/12)] - [$15,000 x (1 + 0.32M/12)]
$315,000 = $348,000 - $17,400+ 200M - $15,000 - 400M
$315,000 = $315,600 - 200M
200M = $315,600 - $315,000 = $600
M = 600 / 200 = 3

For 16000 units the Flexible Budget would be
Sales Revenue ($600,000 /12000)16000 =$ 800,000
Variable Costs (240,000 /12000)16000 = $ 320,000
Contribution Margin $ 480,000
Fixed Costs 275,100 ( assuming fixed costs to be same
for 16000 units)
Operating Profit 204,900
Use the aggregate expenditures model and assume an economy is in equilibrium at $5 trillion which is $250 billion below full-employment GDP. If the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.60, full-employment GDP can be reached if government spending:
Answer:
Government must reduce spending by 100 billion to reach full employment
Explanation:
First, let plug in the MPC to find the spending multiplier
Spending Multiplier = 1 / 1 - MPC
Spending Multiplier = 1 / 1-0.6
Spending Multiplier = 1 / 0.4
Spending Multiplier = 2.5
We also know that we are looking to change the equilibrium output (Y) by -250 billion
ΔG * Multiplier = ΔY / Multiplier
= -250 billion / 2.5
= -100 billion
Therefore, government must reduce spending by 100 billion to reach full employment
Imprudential, inc., has an unfunded pension liability of $582 million that mustb be paid in 20 years. To assess the value of the firms stock, financialal analysts to discount the liability back to the present
If the relevant discount rate is 7.5 percent, what is the present value of this liability? (Enter your answer in dollars not in millions, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Present value $137,010,452.17
Explanation:
Calculation for the present value of Imprudential, inc. liability
Using this formula
Present Value = FV / (1 + r)^t
Where,
FV =$582,000,000
=(1 + r)=(1+0.075=1.075)
t=20 Years
Let plug in the formula
Present Value = $582,000,000 / (1.075)^20
Present Value=$582,000,000/4.2478511
Present value= $137,010,452.17
Therefore the present value of Imprudential, inc. liability will be $137,010,452.17
At a computer-consulting firm, the number of new clients that they have obtained each month has ranged from 0 to 6. the number of new clients has the probability distribution that is shown below. determine the expected number of new clients per month. # of clients probability 0 0.05 1 0.10 2 0.15 3 0.35 4 0.20 5 0.10 6 0.05
Answer:
3.05
Explanation:
The computer consulting firm is analyzing the performance of its company based on new clients each month. The data is given for six months and the probability distribution for number of new clients per month that the company has gained. The probability sum equals to 1 for the six months. The variance distribution is the squared value of each the difference by the mean. values of probability are squared and then their sum is taken to calculate variance deviation.
