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.

The crowding-out effect refers to the possibility that:
a. a deficit, financed by borrowing in the capital markets, will increase the interest rate and reduce investment in the private sector.
b. an increase in the supply of money will induce a decline in real spending.
c. when used simultaneously, expansionary fiscal and monetary policies are counter-productive.
d. the speculative demand for money varies inversely with the interest rate.
Answer:
a. a deficit, financed by borrowing in the capital markets, will increase the interest rate and reduce investment in the private sector.
Explanation:
Crowding out effect is when government borrowing from the capital markets leads to an increase in interest rate. this makes it more expensive for private sector to borrow and this reduces investment by private sector
During the ____________step in activity-based costing, overhead costs in each activity cost pool are assigned to products.
a. first
b. second
c. third
d. fourth
Answer:
d. fourth

A stock has a beta of 1.15, the expected return on the market is 10.3 percent, and the risk-free rate is 3.8 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be
Answer:
11.28%
Explanation:
A stock has a beta of 1.15
The expected return on the market is 10.3%
The risk-free rate is 3.8%
Therefore, the expected return on the stock can be calculated as follows
Expected return= Risk-free rate+beta(expected return on the market-risk-free rate)
= 3.8%+1.15(10.3%-3.8%)
= 3.8%+(1.15×6.5)
= 3.8%+7.475
= 11.28%
Hence the expected return on the stock is 11.28%
The potential benefits lost by taking a specific action when two or more alternative choices are available is known as a(n):
Answer:
Opportunity costs
Explanation:
The potential benefits lost by taking a specific action when two or more alternative choices are available is known as opportunity costs.
Opportunity cost has to do with losing other alternatives by chosing to go with one alternative. Hence it is also called foregone alternative. It has to do with making a decision or choice to give up something in order to get something else which may be of more value.

While examining cash receipts information, the accounting department determined the following information: opening cash balance $180, cash on hand $1,350.89, and cash sales per register tape $1,186.34. Prepare the required journal entry based upon the cash count sheet.
Answer:
Cash $1,170.89
Cash Over/Short $15.45
To Sales Revenue $1,186.34
(Beingthe cash is recorded)
Explanation:
Before passing the journal entry first we have to determine the ending cash balance which is shown below:
Ending Cash Balance is
= Opening Cash Balance + Sales
= $180 + $1,186.34
= $1,366.34
Short cash is
= Ending cash balance - cash on hand
= $1,366.34 - $1,350.89
= $15.45
And, the actual cash is
= Cash on hand - opening cash balance
= $1,350.89 - $180
= $1,170.89
Now the journal entry is
Cash $1,170.89
Cash Over/Short $15.45
To Sales Revenue $1,186.34
(Being the cash is recorded)
A large open economy has desired national saving of Sd = 1200 + 1000rw, and desired national investment of Id = 1000 - 500rw. The foreign economy has desired national saving of = 1300 + 1000rw, and desired national investment of = 1800 - 500rw. The equilibrium world real interest rate equal to:________.
Answer: 10%
Explanation:
The Equilibrium real interest rate would be the interest rate that equates the Desired savings to the desired investment for both the National and foreign economy.
Desired national saving + Foreign desired national saving = Desired national investment + Foreign desired national investment
1,200 + 1,000rw + 1,300 + 1,000rw = (1,000 - 500rw) + (1,800 - 500rw)
2,500 + 2,000rw = 2,800 - 1,000rw
2,000rw + 1,000rw = 2,800 - 2,500
3,000rw = 300
rw = 0.1
rw = 10%
g The Fed makes an open market operation purchase of $200,000. The currency drain ratio is 33.33 percent and the desired reserve ratio is 10 percent. By how much does the quantity of money increase?
Answer: $618,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the Fed makes an open market operation purchase of $200,000 and that the currency drain ratio is 33.33 percent and the desired reserve ratio is 10 percent.
We first have to calculate the money multiplier which will be:
= (1 + the currency drain ratio)/( the currency drain ratio + the reserve ratio)
= (1 + 33.33%)/(33.33% + 10%)
= ( 1 + 0.33)/(0.33 + 0.1)
= 1.33/0.43
= 3.09
The quantity of money increase will be:
= 3.09 × $200,000
= $618,000
g Profit maximazation for a monopolist and a perfect competitor occurs where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. At this profit-maximizing output, the monopolist will charge a price ________ marginal revenue and a perfect competitor will charge a price ________ marginal revenue.
Answer: Higher than; Equal to
Explanation:
Profit maximazation for a monopolist and a perfect competitor occurs where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
The Marginal Revenue curves are different for either of them though and this impacts what price they sell at. This is because the price the good will be sold at depends on where the maximising output touches the demand curve.
The Monopolist has a Marginal Revenue curve that is lower than the Demand Curve. Therefore the point where Marginal Revenue and Marginal Cost intersect, will not be on the demand curve but lower than it. The price charged will therefore be the point where the maximising output touches the Demand Curve.
The Perfectly Competitive Firm however is in a market where Price is equal to the Demand curve and equal to the Marginal Revenue curve as well. The point where the Marginal Cost intersects with Marginal Revenue will also be the point where the maximising output touches the Demand curve so the price will be the same as the Marginal Revenue.
Your Competitive Intelligence team is predicting that the Chester Company will invest in adding capacity to their Cute product this year. Assume Chester's product Cute invests in increasing its capacity by 10% this year. Because of this new information, your company anticipates all other products in the Core segment will increase their capacity by the same amount. How much can the industry produce in the Core segment the next year? Consider only products primarily in the Core segment last year. Ignore current inventories. Figures in thousands (000).
Answer:
HELLO SOME PARTS OF THE QUESTION IS MISSING ATTACHED BELOW IS THE MISSING PARTS
answer : 13156
Explanation:
Considering only products primarily in the core segment last year.
they are : Ant, cone, cute,Drat and Daze
From the question it is assumed that Chester's product Cute and other products in its Core segment will be increased by 10% this year hence we will calculate the 10% increase of each core product and add it to its initial value
For ANT (1550)
will become = 1550 + ( 10% * 1550 ) = 1705
For CONE ( 1050 )
will become = 1050 + ( 10% * 1050 ) = 1155
For Cute ( 1300 )
will become = 1300 + (10% * 1300 ) = 1430
For Drat ( 1040 )
will become = 1040 + ( 10% * 1040 ) = 1144
For DAZE ( 1040 )
will become = 1040 + ( 10% * 1040 ) = 1144
The total capacity of the current year = 1705 + 1155 + 1430 + 1144 + 1144 = 6578
Hence the Total capacity the Industry will produce in the core next year still applying the 10% increment will be = 2 * 6578 = 13156
A metal fabricator produces connecting rods with an outer diameter that has a 1 ± .01 inch specification. A machine operator takes several sample measurements over time and determines the sample mean outer diameter to be 1.002 inches with a standard deviation of .003 inch.
a. Calculate the Cp of the process. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Cp =
b. Calculate the Cpk of the process. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Cpk =
Answer:
A) 1.111
B) 0.889
Explanation:
given data :
outer diameter of connecting rods = 1 ± 0.01 inch
sample mean outer diameter = 1.002 inches
standard deviation = 0.003 inches
A) Calculating the Cp of the process
mean = 1.002
Standard deviation = 0.003
LSL = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99
USL = 1 + 0.01 = 1.01
[tex]Cp = \frac{USL - LSL}{6 * STANDARD DEVIATION}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1.01-0.99}{6*0.003}[/tex] = 1.111
B) calculate Cpk
mean = 1.002, LSL = 0.99, USL = 1.01 , deviation = 0.003
[tex]Cpk = min[\frac{mean-LSL}{3* deviation} , \frac{USL- mean}{3*deviation} ][/tex]
= min [(0.012/0.009) , (0.008/0.009) ]
= min [ 1.333, 0.889 ]
hence Cpk = 0.889
research and describe an organization that you believe has been highly innovative ( excluding apple). which of the four types of innovation – radical, incremental, disruptive, or architectural did it use? did the firm use different types over time?
Answer:
The innovative Uber Company.
Explanation:
This company used disruptive innovation to disrupt the taxi industry after they started off as a ride sharing platform in 2010/2011. From humble beginnings, just after a few years after lunch, this company has over 110 million users worldwide.
However, over the years Uber has also used radical innovation to diversify into other services such as Uber Food– for deliveries etc.
Note that disruptive innovation is marked by creating a change from the status quo; which may invariably affect the normal trend– in this case commercial taxi cab.
A machine costs $600000 and is expected to yield an after tax net income of $23000 each year. Managment predicts this machine has a 10 year service life and a $120000 salvage value, and it uses straight line depreciation. Compute this machine's accounting rate of return
Answer:
6.39%
Explanation:
The cost of the machine is $600,000
The net income is $23,000
The management predict a that it has a 10 years service life
The salvage value is $120,000
The first step is to calculate the average investment
Average investment= (Cost of machine+Salvage value)/2
= $600,000+$120,000/2
= $720,000/2
= $360,000
Therefore, the accounting rate of return can be calculated as follows
= Annual net income/Average investment
= $23,000/$360,000
= 0.0639×100
= 6.39%
Hence the accounting rate of return is 6.39%

BBQ Corporation has a target capital structure that is 70 percent equity, 30 percent debt. The flotation costs for equity issues are 15 percent of the amount raised; the flotation costs for debt are 8 percent. If BBQ needs $150 million for a new manufacturing facility, what is the cost when flotation costs are considered
Answer:
$172,215,844 is the cost when flotation costs are considered
Explanation:
flotation
Weighted average flotation cost = {(Flotation cost debt * Weight debt) + (Flotation cost equity * Weight equity)
= (8% * 0.30) + (15% * 0.70)
=0.024 + 0.105
= 0.129
= 12.9%
Calculation of the cost of funds
Cost of funds = Amount raised / (1 - Weighted average floatation cost)
= $150,000,000 / (1-0.129)
= $150,000,000 / (0.871)
=$172,215,844
Therefore, the cost of raising fund is $172,215,844
ABG Corporation has the following dividend forecasts for the next three years: Year Expected Dividend 1 $ .25 2 $ .50 3 $ 1.25 After the third year, the dividend will grow at a constant rate of 5% per year. The required return is 10%. What is the price of the stock today?
Answer:
Price of share today = $21.302
Explanation:
The price of a share can be calculated using the dividend valuation model
According to this model the value of share is equal to the sum of the present values of its future cash dividends discounted at the required rate of return.
If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:
Price=Do (1+g)/(k-g)
Do - dividend in the following year, K- requited rate of return , g- growth rate
Step 1 : PV of dividend from year 1 to 3
Year PV of Dividend
1 0.25 × 1.1^(-1) = 0.227
2 0.50 × 1.1^(-2) = 0.413
3 1.25 × 1.1^(-3) = 0.939
Strep 2 : PV of dividend from year 4 to infinity
PV (in year 3 terms) of dividend= 1.25 × 1.05/(0.1-0.05) = 26.25
PV in year 0 terms = 26.25 × 1.1^(-3) = 19.72
Present Value = 0.227 + 0.413 + 0.939 + 19.72 = 21.302
Price of share today = $21.302
Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $70,000 or $200,000 with equal probabilities of .5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 6% per year. a. If you require a risk premium of 8%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?
Answer:
$118,421
Explanation:
first we must calculate the expected value of the risky portfolio = ($70,000 x 0.5) + ($200,000 x 0.5) = $135,000
since your risk premium is 8% and the risk free rate is 6%m then you should discount the expected value by 8% + 6% = 14% to determine its current market price
= $135,000 / (1 + 14%) = $118,421

Answer:
What is the initial investment outlay?
initial investment = $17 million (manufacturing equipment) + $3 (increase in net working capital) = $20,000,000The company spent and expensed $150,000 on research related to the new project last year. Would this change your answer?
No, this will not change the answer because that was a sunk cost that doesn't affect the project's initial outlay.Rather than build a new manufacturing facility, the company plans to install the equipment in a building it owns but is not now using. The building could be sold for $1.5 million after taxes and real estate commissions. How would this affect your answer?
If the company decides to do this, it will increase the project's initial outlay by $1,500,000 which is the opportunity cost of selling the building.1.

calculate the net present value of a business deal that cost $2500 today and will return $1500 at the end of this year. use interest rate of 13%
Answer:
NPV= -$1,172.57
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $2,500
Cash flow= $1,500
Discount rate= 13%
To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:
NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
NPV= -2,500 + (1,500/1.13)
NPV= -1,172.57
A monopoly's cost function is CQ and its the demand for its product is pQ where Q is output, p is price, and C is the total cost of production. Determine the profit-maximizingLOADING... price and output for a monopoly.
Answer:
The answer is "70 units".
Explanation:
In the given question some equation is missing which can be defined as follows:
[tex]C = 1.5Q^2+40Q\\\\P=320-0.5Q[/tex]
Monopolistic functions are used where Marginal Profit = Marginal Cost where marginal revenue and marginal cost stand for the MR and MC.
Finding the value of MR :
[tex]\ MR = \frac{\partial TR}{\partial Q} \\\\[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{\partial PQ}{\partial Q} \\\\= \frac{\partial (320-0.5Q)Q}{\partial Q}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{\partial (320Q -0.5Q^2)}{\partial Q}\\\\ = \frac{\partial Q (320 -0.5Q)}{\partial Q}\\\\ \ by \ solving \ we \ get \\\\ = 320 - Q...(1)[/tex]
Calculating the value of the MC:
[tex]MC = \frac{\partial TC}{\partial Q} \\[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{\partial (1.5Q^2 + 40Q)}{\partial Q} \\\\=\frac{\partial Q (1.5Q + 40)}{\partial Q}\\\\ \ by \ solve \ value \\\\ = 3Q + 40....(2)[/tex]
compare the above equation (i) and (ii):
[tex]\to 320 -Q = 3Q+40\\\\\to 320 -40 = 3Q+ Q\\\\\to 280 = 4Q\\\\\to 4Q =280 \\\\\to Q= \frac{280}{4}\\\\\to Q= 70 \\[/tex]
Consider the market for meekers in the imaginary economy of Meekertown. In the absence of international trade, the domestic price of a meeker is $23. Suppose that the world price for a meeker is $24. Assume that Meekertown is too small to influence the world price for meekers once they enter meeker the international market. If Meekertown allows free trade, then it will _______________ meeker.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
Export
true
Explanation:
Because the price of meekers in meekertown is lower than the world price for meekers, meekers from meekertown are cheaper. so if free trade is allowed, other countries would want to purchase meekers from meekertown because it is cheaper.
So, meekertown would export meekers if free trade is allowed.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
this is so because if the country is efficient in production of a good (producing at a lower price when compared to the world price), export of the good would increase thus increasing producer surplus. if on the other hand, the country is inefficient in producing a good and the country allows for free trade, the country can import the good. this would increase consumer surplus.
