Sinking fund bonds: A. Are bearer bonds. B. Are registered bonds. C. Require equal payments of both principal and interest over the life of the bond issue. D. Require the issuer to set aside assets at specified amounts to retire the bonds at maturity. E. Decline in value over time.
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
Sinking funds require the issuer(borrower) to set aside assets at specified amounts to retire the bonds at maturity. Sinking fund helps the issuer to secure a bond with lower yield.
An agreed amount is deposited at an agreed period (e.g yearly) so as to pay of the par value or principal value at maturity.
Bonita Industries applies overhead to production at a predetermined rate of 80% based on direct labor cost. Job No. 130, the only job still in process at the end of August, has been charged with manufacturing overhead of $5100. What was the amount of direct materials charged to Job 130 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is 45000?
Answer:
Direct Materials $ 33525
Explanation:
Bonita Industries
Job No. 130,
Manufacturing overhead $5100.
Direct Labor = $ 6375
5100 80
x 100
Using cross product direct labor = 5100 *100/80= 6375.
We have
Work in Process inventory $ 45000
Less
Manufacturing overhead $5100.
Direct Labor $ 6375
Direct Materials $ 33525
The Work in Process is debited with Direct Materials, Direct Labor and Manufacturing Overheads.
As we know the Direct Labor and Manufacturing Overheads we can find out the Direct Materials by subtracting the Direct Labor and Manufacturing Overheads from the Work In Process Inventory balance.
Raphael's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Philadelphia that sells gluten-free pizzas. Raphael's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the three ovens in which his workers bake the pizzas. Raphael signed a lease obligating him to pay the rent for the three ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Raphael's kitchen cannot fit more than three ovens, Raphael cannot change the number of ovens he uses in his production of pizzas in the short run.
However, Raphael's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because his workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Raphael lets them know how many workers he needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are____________ inputs, and the ovens are_____________ inputs.
Answer:
However, Raphael's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because his workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Raphael lets them know how many workers he needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are variable inputs, and the ovens are fixed inputs.
Explanation:
In the long run, all inputs are variable because eventually lease contracts expire, or they can move to new facilities. But on the short run, some inputs are fixed due to certain restraints. In this case, the restraints are the size of the kitchen and the lease contract for three ovens.
In the short run, the only input that Raphael can vary is the number of workers that he employs every week.
Which of the following is not considered to be a liability? Answers: a. Wages Payable b. Unearned Revenues c. Accounts Payable d. Accounts Receivable
Answer:
d. Accounts Receivable.
Explanation:
In Financial accounting, liability can be defined as the amount of money being owed by an individual or organization to another.
Simply stated, liability is a debt being owed and as such it usually has "payable" in its account title on the balance sheet.
Generally, liabilities are recorded on the right side of the balance sheet and it comprises of financial informations such as warranties, bonds, loans, deferred revenues, mortgages, account payable etc.
Accounts Receivable is not considered to be a liability because it is the payment a business firm would receive from its customers for goods purchased or services taken on credit. Accounts Receivable are recorded in the current assets section of the balance sheet because they add value to a business firm.
10. You recently sold 200 shares of Apple stock to your brother. The transfer was made through a broker, and the trade occurred on the NYSE. This is an example of:
Answer:
A secondary market transaction
Explanation:
Secondary market transaction: In this transaction, the transaction which is already issued to the public are sold by another investors.
In this type market, the investors buy and sell securities which are theirs . It is what most people typically think of as the "stock market," though stocks are also sold on the primary market when they are first issued.
So in the question, the transfer was made through a broker which implies it deals in the secondary market.
Primary market transaction: In this transaction, the company directly sells the new stocks, bonds, etc to the public for the first time.
Future market transaction: This is the transaction which occurs in the near future to buy some specific quantities at the future price.
Rizio Co. purchases a machine for $12,500, terms 210, n60, FOB shipping point. Rizio paid within the discount period and took the $250 discount. Transportation costs of $360 were paid by Rizio. The machine required mounting and power connections costing $895. Another $475 is paid to assemble the machine, and $40 of materials are used to get it into operation. During installation, the machine was damaged and $180 worth of repairs were made. Compute the cost recorded for this machine.
Answer:
Cost of machine= $14,200
Explanation:
According to International Accounting standards(IAS) 16 property plan and equipment (PPE), the cost of an asset is the purchase cost plus other costs of bringing it to the intended working conditions.
So we will add the purchase cost to the installation cost , freight charges.
Note that the cost of the power connections, assembling and material used for installations all represent cost associated to bring the machine into ready for use.
Cost of machine = (12,500 - 250) + 360 + 895 + 475 + 40 + 180= 14,200
Cost of machine= $14,200
Builtrite bonds have the following: 5 ½% coupon, 11 years until maturity, $1000 par and are currently selling at $1054. If you want to make an 5% return, what would you be willing to pay for the bond?
Answer:
$1,041.53
Explanation:
The price that a rational investor would pay for the bond yearning for 5% rate of return can be determined using excel pv function below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the yield expected by the investor
nper is the number of annual coupons remaining i.e 11
pmt is the amount of annual coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1000*5.5%=$55
fv is the face value of $1000
=-pv(5%,11,55,1000)=$1,041.53
Trudy is Jocelyn's friend. Trudy looks after Jocelyn's four-year-old son during the day so Jocelyn can go to work. During the year, Jocelyn paid Trudy $4,090 to care for her son. What is the amount of Jocelyn's child and dependent care credit if her AGI for the year was $30,900
A bond that pays interest annually yielded 6.01 percent last year. The inflation rate for the same period was 3 percent. Given that information, the actual real rate of return on this bond for last year was _____percent.
Answer:
2.3%
Explanation:
The computation of the actual real rate of return is shown below:-
Actual real rate of return on this bond for last year = ((1 + Nominal rate of interest ) ÷ (1 + Inflation rate of return)) - 1
= ((1 + 0.0601) ÷ (1 + 0.03)) - 1
= 1.0601 ÷ 1.03 - 1
= 1.023 - 1
= 0.023
or
= 2.3%
Therefore for computing the actual rate of return we simply applied the above formula.
What is the value of a zero-coupon bond with a yield to maturity of 9 percent, a par value of $1,000, and 10 years to maturity? (Assume semi-annual compounding)
Answer:
$414.64
Explanation:
For computing the value of zero-coupon bond we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 9% ÷ 2 = 4.5%
NPER = 10 years × 2 = 20 years
PMT = $0
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $414.64
A loan is to be paid off in twenty annual installments of $100, with the first payment due one year after the loan is made. What is the total amount of principal paid in the even numbered installments, if the effective rate of interest is 4%?
Answer:
Total amount of principal paid = $ 1,359.03
Explanation:
This method of loan repayment is known as loan amortization
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 value of the loan can be worked as follows:
Loan amount = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- annual installment
r - annual interest rate
n- number of years,
Loan amount = ?
Loan amount = 100 × (1 - (1+0.04)^(-20) )/ 0.04
Loan amount = 1,359.032
Total amount of principal paid = $ 1,359.03
Gugenheim, Inc., has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.5 percent and annual payments. The yield to maturity is 7.7 percent and the bond matures in 21 years. What is the market price if the bond has a par value of $2,000?
Answer:
Price of bond=$1,753.96
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 for Gugenheim, Inc can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Annual interest payment
= 6.5%% × 2000 = 130
PV of interest payment
PV = A× (1- 1+r)^(-n)
A- 130, r- 7.7, n- 21
= 130 × (1-(1.077)^(-21)/0.077) = 1,332.743
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
RV - 2000, r- 7.7%, n- 21
PV = 2000 × (1.077)^(-21) = 421.2115063
Step 3
Price of bond
= 1,332.743 + 421.211
=$1753.955
Price of bond=$1,753.96

Primus Corp. is planning to convert an existing warehouse into a new plant that will increase its production capacity by 45 percent. The cost of this project will be $7,125,000. It will result in additional cash flows of $1,875,000 for the next eight years. The discount rate is 12 percent.
a) What is the payback period?
b) What is the NPV for this project?
c) What is the IRR?
Answer:
3.8 years
$2,189,324.56
20.33%
Explanation:
Payback period calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
Payback period = amount invested / cash flows = $7,125,000 / $1,875,000 = 3.8 years
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Net present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
cash flow in year 0 = $-7,125,000.
cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $1,875,000
I = 12%
NPV = $2,189,324.56
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
cash flow in year 0 = $-7,125,000.
cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $1,875,000
I = 12%
IRR = 20.33%

An adviser with $133,000,000 of assets under management has its main offices in Illinois and branch offices in Wisconsin, Indiana, and Missouri. Which statement is TRUE regarding registration of the adviser
Answer: The adviser must register in all the states i.e Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri and Indiana.
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that an adviser with $133,000,000 of assets under management has its main offices in Illinois and branch offices in Wisconsin, Indiana, and Missouri.
Based on th above scenario, the adviser has to register in all the states where it has offices.
1. Stock A has an expected return of 7%, a standard deviation of expected returns of 35%, a correlation coefficient with the market of -0.3, and a beta coefficient of -0.5. Stock B has an expected return of 12% a standard deviation of returns of 10%, a 0.7 correlation with the market, and a beta coefficient of 1.0. Which security is riskier
Answer:
Option A is riskier
Explanation:
In this question, we want to know which of the two stocks is riskier.
To answer this, we can use the standard deviation of returns as a risk measure.
For a security with a big value for standard deviation of returns, its per period returns are wider making its range per day large.
Hence, what this means is that out of the two stocks, the one with a larger value of standard deviation of returns will guarantee more risk as it is expected to give a better ranges of price
Now back to the values in the question, we can see that the standard deviation of returns of stock A is greater than that of stock B which this makes it a more risky option
Mr. and Ms. Kingsley owned acre as joint tenants in fee simple absolute. Ms Kingsley secretly conveyed her interest to herself in an instrument that added, "I hereby terminate the joint tenancy in Black-acre with Mr. Kingsley." Ms. Kingsley thereafter leased a portion of the property to Mr. Matthew, over the objections of Mr. Kingsley for Mr. Matthew to use for holding boxing matches. Their lease provided that Mr. Matthew would pay $1000.00 on the first day of each month during which he was permitted to use the property. Mr. Kingsley demanded from Ms. Kingsley one-half of the rents received from Mr. Matthew.
Required:
Describe the property relations between the parties and Mr. Kingsley's rights and remedies.
Answer:
Mr. and Ms. Kingsley as Joint Tenants
1. Property Relations between Mr. and Ms. Kingsley: The titles show that the Kingsleys are living together but not married partners. However, the Black-acre is jointly owned by these partners. Each has equal rights and obligations over the acre. Ms. Kingsley does not have absolute right to sell or lease any part of the acre without the consent of Mr. Kingsley or without obtaining a court permit to sell or lease, especially upon Mr. Kingsley's objections. She also lacks the legal right to secretly "terminate the joint tenancy in Black-acre" without the knowledge of Mr. Kingsley or without going through the applicable court process.
2. Mr. Kingsley's Rights and Remedies: Having leased a portion of the acre to Mr. Matthew, Mr. Kingsley is entitled to half of the monthly lease payments. He also has the right to demand from Ms. Kingsley one-half of the rents from the lease. He can, in the absence of Ms. Kingsley's refusal, initiate a court process to enforce his joint-tenancy rights.
Explanation:
Joint-tenancy can exist between Mr. Kingsley and Ms. Kingsley, whether they are legally married or not. Joint-tenancy can also exist between two or more parties without the intention of marriage. The term is a legal term that describes an equally shared ownership interest in a property. Joint-tenancy deeds are established in order to avoid the need for a probate in the case of a party's death.
An investor considers investing $10,000 in the stock market. He believes that the probability is 0.30 that the economy will improve, 0.40 that it will stay the same, and 0.30 that it will deteriorate. Further, if the economy improves, he expects his investment to grow to $15,000, but it can also go down to $8,000 if the economy deteriorates. If the economy stays the same, his investment will stay at $10,000.a. What is the expected value of his investment?b. Should he invest the $10,000 in the stock market if he is risk neutral?c. Is the decision clear-cut if he is risk averse? Explain.
Answer:
a. What is the expected value of his investment?
$10,900b. Should he invest the $10,000 in the stock market if he is risk neutral?
If the investor is risk neutral, then he pays little attention to market risk, therefore, he/she should invest because the expected value is higher than the investment.c. Is the decision clear-cut if he is risk averse?
If the investor is risk averse, it means that he/she is afraid of market risk and likes to make decisions that involve the least possible risk. In this case, the possibility of losing money is not that large (in my opinion) and the expected value is relatively high, but a risk averse investor would probably prefer an investment that yields a lower rate but is more secure, e.g. US securities.Explanation:
total investment $10,000
if economy improves = 0.30 x $15,000 = $4,500if economy remains the same = 0.40 x $10,000 = $4,000if economy deteriorates = 0.30 x $8,000 = $2,400total expected value = $10,900
Consider a product with a daily demand of 600 units, a setup cost per production run of $200, a monthly holding cost per unit of $5.00, and an annual production rate of 300,000 units. The firm operates and experiences demand 300 days per year.
Required:
a. What is the optimum size of the production run?
b. What is the average holding cost per year?
c. What is the setup cost per year?
d. What is the total cost per year if cost of each unit is 10 dollars?
e. Suppose that management mistakenly used the basic EOQ model to calculate the batch size instead of using the POQ model. How much money per year has that mistake cost the company?
Answer:
a. 3,795 units
b. $1,897.50
c. $2,845.80
d. $42,693.80
Explanation:
Optimum size for the Production ran is the size that minimizes Set-up costs and Holding costs.
Optimum size for the Production = √ (2 × Annual Production × Set-up cost) / Holding Cost per unit
Optimum size for the Production = √ (2 × 600 × 300 × $200) / $5.00
= 3,794.73 or 3,795 units
Average Holding Cost = Optimum size for the Production / 2
= 3,795 units / 2
= $1,897.50
Set - up Cost = Total Annual Production / Optimum size for the Production × Set - up cost per unit
= ((600 × 300) / 3,795)× $5.00
= $237.15
Annual cost = $237.15 × 12
= $2,845.80
Total Cost Calculation
Purchase Price (3,795 × $10) = $37,950.50
Holding Cost = $1,897.50
Set - up Cost = $2,845.80
Total Cost = $42,693.80
POQ = Optimum size for the Production / Annual Demand
= 3,795 units / (300 × 600)
= 0.021
________ refers to the idea that policy-makers have formulated and implemented policy that addresses problems in an optimal or efficient manner.
Answer:
Rationality.
Explanation:
Rationality refers to the idea that policy-makers have formulated and implemented policy that addresses problems in an optimal or efficient manner.
This ultimately implies that, policy-makers act rationally in order to achieve best goals, objectives and interests of the people effectively and efficiently.
For instance, in a bid to mitigate or eliminate global warming, policy-makers developed and enacted the pollution prevention act. This would limit or regulate the amount of pollutants that is being emitted by an organization in a particular geographical location as well as improving environmental sanitation and reducing environmental degradation.

The Freeman Manufacturing Company is considering a new investment. Financial projections for the investment are tabulated below. The corporate tax rate is 34 percent. Assume all sales revenue is received in cash, all operating costs and income taxes are paid in cash, and all cash flows occur at the end of the year. All net working capital is recovered at the end of the project.
a. Compute the incremental net income of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. Compute the incremental cash flows of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.)
c. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 12 percent. What is the NPV of the project?
Complete question is given at the end of the question.
Answer with Explanation:
Requirement 1:
Net Income is an accounting profits which includes both cash flow items and non cash flow items. It can be calculated as under:
Net Income = (Sales - Cost - Depreciation) - (Income Before Tax * Tax Rate)
The computation is given in the Second excel sheet attached.
Requirement 2:
According to relevant costing principles if the cost is relevant then it must satisfy following conditions:
Must be cash flow in nature.Must be Future related (no past commitments).Differential or must be incrementalSo this means that the depreciation would not be taken into account as it is not a relevant cost and thus must not be included as an incremental cost.
Incremental Cash flow can be calculated using the following formula:
Incremental Cash Flow = Net Income + Depreciation (Removing its impact) - Working Capital Injection + Working Capital Withdrawal
The calculation for each year is shown in the second attachment.
Requirement 3:
The NPV can be calculated by discounting each year cash flow by the rate of return which in this case is 12%.
The formula for calculating the NPV is as under:
NPV = Investment in year zero - Net Cash Flow of Y1 / (1 + r)^1 - Net Cash Flow of Y2 / (1 + r)^2 - Net Cash Flow of Y3 / (1 + r)^3 - Net Cash Flow of Y4 / (1 + r)^4
The computation of NPV is given in the second attachment given below:
Assume that ExxonMobil uses a standard cost system for each of its refineries. For the Houston refinery, the monthly fixed overhead budget is $8,000,000 for a planned outputs of 5,000,000 barrels. For September, the actual fixed cost was $8,750,000 for 5,100,000 barrels.
Required
a. Determine the fixed overhead budget variance.
b. If fixed overhead is applied on a per-barrel basis, determine the volume variance.
c. Provide formulas and an explanation.
Answer:
a. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead
= $8,000,000 - $8,750,000
= $750,000 Unfavorable
b. Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = $8,000,000 / 5,000,000
= $1.60 per barrel
Fixed overhead applied = 5,100,000 * $1.60
= $8,160,000
Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead
= $8,160,000 - $8,000,000
= $160,000 Favorable
c. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead
Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = Budgeted fixed overhead / Planned outputs
Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead
Allison Cobb sells homemade knit scarves for $ 25 each at local craft shows. Her contribution margin ratio is 60%. Currently, the craft show entrance fees cost Allison $ 900 per year. The craft shows are raising their entrance fees by 10% next year. How many extra scarves will Allison have to sell next year just to pay for rising entrance fee costs? Begin by identifying the general formula to compute the breakeven sales in units.
Allison will have to sell 6 extra scarves next year just to pay for rising entrance fee costs.
Explanation:Formula :
Break-Even point ( in units)= Fixed Costs ÷ (Sales price per unit – Variable costs per unit)
Given, Price of knit scarves = $25
Contribution margin ratio = 60%
Contribution margin per unit = (Price of knit scarves) x (Contribution margin ratio )
= $(25 x 0.60 )
= $15
Current entrance fees = $900
Percentage in increase in entrance fees = 10%
Increase in entrance fees = 10% of $900 = $90
Extra scarves to be sold [tex]=\dfrac{\text{Increase in extrnace fees}}{\text{Contribution margin per unit}}[/tex]
[tex]\\\\=\dfrac{90}{15}=6[/tex]
Allison will have to sell 6 extra scarves next year just to pay for rising entrance fee costs.

= 0.03 × $850,000
= $25,500
The economic prosperity enjoyed by _____ during the 1980s and 1990s strained the world trading system and created the demand for increased protectionist measures.
Answer: Japan
Explanation:
The economic prosperity enjoyed by Japan during the 1980s and 1990s strained the world trading system and created the demand for increased protectionist measures.
This was due to the fact that the trade that took place between the United States and Japan between these years brought about some deficits in trade for United States while bringing prosperity for Japan and this led to some trade restrictions.
The aggregate demand and aggregate supply model is a useful simplification of the macroeconomy used to explain short-run fluctuation in economic activity around its long-run trend.
a) The vertical axis of a diagram of the aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves measures which of the following?
A. An economy's price level.
B. The amount of a particular representative good produced in the economy.
C. The price of a particular representative good produced in the economy.
b) Which of the following are reasons that the short-run aggregate supply curve slopes upward?
A. As the price level rises, firms expand their production because they can sell their output for more money.
B. As the price level rises, firms find it more profitable to hire workers at any given wage.
C. As the price level rises, firms decrease their investment, because it is more expensive to purchase capital.
Answer:
The correct answers are:
a) A. An economy's price level.
b) A. As the price level rises, firms expand their production because they can sell their output for more money.
Explanation:
On the one hand, in this type of economic model, the aggregate supply and demand represent the economy's price and quantity level regarding the output of the country as a whole. Therefore that in the vertical axis of the diagram the curves measures the price level of the economy and in the horizontal axis the curves measure the output that the economy produces at that given price.
On the other hand, the slope of the aggregate supply is upward because of the same reason as it is in the supply curve, because of the law of the supply, that states that there is a direct relationship between the price of the good an its quantity offered. Thefore that when the price level rises the firms will produce more because they can sell their production at a higher price.
