Answer:
e. Prepayment risk
Explanation:
Prepayment risk is the likelihood of the firm where Special Purpose Vehicle that manages the mortgage-backed pass-through securities to repay the principal sum invested or part of it earlier than expected which then denies the investor of interest payments throughout the investment period.
When principals are repaid much earlier, the interest that could be earned on the principal is lost since the principal upon which the interest is to be computed has been repaid, hence, no more basis for the interest thereafter
You are asked to assess the current service model for a manufacturing line featuring 8 machines. Based on empirical data you have determined that machines have a 23% likelihood of being down and in need of repair. There are currently 2 workers capable of running and repairing machines. Each of the 8 machines can produce 18 units/hour. The overhead for running each of the 8 machines is $713 per day per machine. Each operator is paid at an hourly rate of $15. [You can assume an 8-hour work day]
a. Determine the total amount of lost work time.
b. Should you hire an additional worker to run the 8 machines in this manufacturing line?
Answer:
A) 14.72 hours
B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours
Explanation:
Number of machines on manufacturing line = 8
percentage of machine been down = 23%
number of workers capable of running and repairing machines = 2
machine productivity ( per machine ) = 18 units/hour
overhead cost / machine = $713
hourly rate paid per worker = $15
Total number of work hours = 8 hour
A) calculate Total amount of lost worktime
= number of machines * Total number of work hours * 23%
= 8 * 8 * 23% = 14.72 hours
B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours

Xie Company identified the following activities, costs, and activity drivers for this year. The company manufactures two types of go-karts: Deluxe and Basic. Activity Expected Costs Expected Activity Handling materials $ 625,000 100,000 parts Inspecting product 900,000 1,500 batches Processing purchase orders 105,000 700 orders Paying suppliers 175,000 500 invoices Insuring the factory 300,000 40,000 square feet Designing packaging 75,000 2 models Required: Compute the activity rate for each activity, assuming the company uses activity-based costing. (Round activity rate answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Handling materials = $6.25 per part
Inspecting product = $600 per batch
Processing purchase = $150 per order
Handling materials = $350 per invoice
Insuring the factory = $7.50 per square feet
Designing packaging = $37,500 per model
Explanation:
Activity rate = Estimated Cost ÷ Estimated Activity
therefore,
Handling materials = $ 625,000 ÷ 100,000 parts = $6.25
Inspecting product = $ 900,000 ÷ 1,500 batches = $600
Processing purchase = $ 105,000 ÷ 700 orders = $150
Handling materials = $ 175,000 ÷ 500 invoices = $350
Insuring the factory = $ 300,000 ÷ 40,000 square feet = $7.50
Designing packaging = $ 75,000 ÷ 2 models = $37,500
1) Consider the single factor APT. Portfolio A has a beta of 1.7 and an expected return of 19%. Portfolio B has a beta of .6 and an expected return of 15%. The risk-free rate of return is 11%. If you wanted to take advantage of an arbitrage opportunity, you should take a short position in portfolio __________ and a long position in portfolio
Answer:
A, B.
Explanation:
E(r) = Rf + beta (Risk premium on factor)
PORTFOLIO A
19% = 11% + 1.7(RP)
19% - 11% = 1.7(RP)
(RP) = 0.08/1.7
(RP) = 0.047059
(RP) = 4.706%
PORTFOLIO B
15% = 11% + 0.6(RP)
15% - 11% = 0.6(RP)
(RP) = 0.04/0.6
(RP) = 0.06667
(RP) = 6.667%
As risk premium is lower in case of portfolio A, the correct strategy is Short Position in Portfolio A and Long Position in Portfolio B

Which of the following statements are true oflong-term investments?
a. They can include bonds and stocks not intended to be sold in the near future.
b. They can be considered cash equivalents.
c. They can include assets not used in operations, such as investments in land.
d. They generally include investments that will mature in 3 to 12 months.
e. They are reported with noncurrent assets on the balance sheet.
f. They are always easily sold and therefore qualify as being marketable.
Answer:
a. They can include bonds and stocks not intended to be sold in the near future.
c. They can include assets not used in operations, such as investments in land.
e. They are reported with noncurrent assets on the balance sheet.
Explanation:
Long term investment or assets are those that are typically held in a company's balance sheet for many years. They can include assets such as land, equipment like machinery, buildings and vehicles.
They also include sticks and bonds that won't be used in the short term.
So long term investment are not cash equivalents because cash can be used in the short term.
Also it cannot be used within 3 - 12 months.
They are not easily sold as they sold so they are not considered marketable asset in the short run.
Long term investment is considered to be a non current asset as they last longer than a year on the balance sheet.
Jamie is considering leaving her current job, which pays $75,000 per year, to start a new company that develops applications for smartphones. Based on market research, she can sell about 50,000 units during the first year at a price of $4 per unit. With annual overhead costs and operating expenses amounting to $145,000. Jamie expects a profit margin of 20 percent. This margin is 5 percent larger than that of her largest competitor, Apps. Inc.
a. If Jamie decides to embark on her new venture, What will her accounting cost be during the first year of operation? Her implicit costs? Her opportunity costs?
Accounting costs: $_____
Implicit costs: $_____
Opportunity costs: $_____
b. Suppose that Jamie's estimated selling price is lower than originally projected during the first year. How much revenue would she need in order to earn positive accounting profits? Positive economic profits?
Revenue needed to earn positive accounting profits: $______
Revenue needed to earn positive economic profits:
Answer:
Follows are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
For point A:
Cost with accounting=The actual manufacturing expenditures or spendings that appear on expensive sports or record of a company= [tex]\$ 145,000[/tex]
[tex]\text{Costs = gross pay} = 50000 \times 4 - 1.2 \times1,45,000 = 26000\\\\{ total \ cost = 120 \% \ of\ 145,000}[/tex]
Cost opportunity=75,000
Total revenue required besides positive accounting benefits=cost of accounting =145000
Income to create positive economic benefits=cost of accounts + implied cost
[tex]= 145000+26000=171000[/tex]
For point B:
Income required to make positive profit in accounts = 145,000 more than the accounting costs
Revenue necessary to earn positive profit = 220,000 more than opportunity cost

The full "accounting cycle" which culminates in closing the books and producing financial statements. Discuss the differences between Permanent "real" accounts and Temporary ¨nominal¨ accounts:
1. What type of information is contained in nominal accounts, and what type of information is contained in real accounts?
2. Which financial statement contains the information from nominal accounts and which contains the information from real accounts?
3. Provide an example of real accounts and an example of nominal accounts.
Answer:
The Accounting Cycle: Permanent and Temporary Accounts
1. The information that is contained in the nominal accounts is revenues and expenses, incomes, and losses. The information that is contained in the real accounts is assets, liabilities, and equity.
2. Income Statement and Statement of Retained Earnings contain the information from nominal accounts. Balance Sheet contains information from real accounts.
3. An example of a real account is Accounts Receivable. An example of a nominal account is Service Revenue.
Explanation:
The differences between real or permanent accounts and nominal or temporary accounts are that permanent accounts include assets, liabilities, and equity accounts while temporary accounts include revenues and expenses. Permanent accounts are not closed to a financial period but rolled over from one accounting period to the next. Temporary accounts, on the other hand, are closed in the financial period. They do not roll over to the next period because their net effects are closed to a permanent account (equity).
Carlsbad Corporation's sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2019 to $6 million in 2020, or by 20%. Its assets totaled $3 million at the end of 2019. Carlsbad is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities are $1 million, consisting of $250,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $250,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 4%. Assume that the company pays no dividends. Use the AFN equation to forecast the additional funds Carlsbad will need for the coming year. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $
Answer:
Answer is explained and solved in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Data Given:
First we need to clearly extract the data from the question.
Sales of the year = 5000000
Increase in Sales (%) = 20%
Profit Margin = 4%
Retention Ratio = 100%
Dividend Payout = 0
1. Increase in Assets necessary to support increase in Sales = Increase in Sales x total Assets = 20% x 3000000 = 600000
2. Increase in Liabilities necessary to support increase in Sales = Increase in Sales x Total Liabilities Accounts payable + Accrued Liabilities + other payables = 20% x 500000 = 100000
3. Net Income = 5000000 x (1 + 0.20) x 4% = 240,000
So Addition of Retained Earnings = 100% = 240,000
4. AFN = Increase in Assets - Increase in Liabilities - Increase in Retained Earnings = 600000 - 100000 - 240000 = 260000
Under this scenario, the company would have higher level of retained earnings which would reduce the amount of additional funds needed.
Camptown Togs, Inc., a children’s clothing manufacturer, has always found payroll processing to be costly because it must be done by a clerk so that the number of piece-goods coupons received by each employee can be collected and the types of tasks performed by each employee can be calculated. Not long ago, an industrial engineer designed a system that partially automates the process by means of a scanner that reads the piece-goods coupons. Management is enthusiastic about this system because it utilizes some personal computer systems that were purchased recently. It is expected that this new automated system will save $45,000 per year in labor. The new system will cost about $30,000 to build and test prior to operation. It is expected that operating costs, including income taxes, will be about $5,000 per year. The system will have a five-year useful life. The expected net salvage value of the system is estimated to be $3,000.

M. K. Gallant is president of Kranbrack Corporation, a company whose stock is traded on a national exchange. In a meeting with investment analysts at the beginning of the year, Gallant had predicted that the company’s earnings would grow by 20% this year. Unfortunately, sales have been less than expected for the year, and Gallant concluded within two weeks of the end of the fiscal year that it would be impossible to report an increase in earnings as large as predicted unless some drastic action was taken. Accordingly, Gallant has ordered that wherever possible, expenditures should be postponed to the new year—including canceling or postponing orders with suppliers, delaying planned maintenance and training, and cutting back on end-of-year advertising and travel. Additionally, Gallant ordered the company’s controller to carefully scrutinize all costs that are currently classified as period costs and reclassify as many as possible as product costs. The company is expected to have substantial inventories at the end of the year.
1. Why would reclassifying period costs as product costs increase this period’s reported earnings?
2. Do you believe Gallant’s actions are ethical? Why or why not?
5. Calculating tax incidence Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge beer consumers a tax. Before the tax, 30 billion cases of beer were sold every year at a price of $5 per case. After the tax, 25 billion cases of beer are sold every year; consumers pay $7 per case (including the tax), and producers receive $4 per case.
Answer:
The amount of the tax on a case of beer is $3 per case.
Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $2 per case,
and the burden that falls on producers is $ per case.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total amount of tax on one case
Amount of tax = Price by the consumer including tax - Producer receives
Where
Price by the consumer including tax = $7
Producer receives = $4
Placing values in the formula
Amount of tax = $7 - $4
Amount of tax = $3
Burden on consumer = Price paid by consumer before tax - Price paid by consumer after tax = $7 - $5 = $2
Burden on Producer = Total tax - Burden on consumer = $3 - $2 = $1

The development of cotton and woolen mills in the mill cities of England, and later New England, caused tremendous sociological change as potential workers (especially women) swarmed from rural areas to the growing industrial cities. Cite some examples of similar occurrences in more recent times in developing countries.
Explanation:
Agribusiness is the strongest sector of the Brazilian economy, for this reason there is a change in the flow of workers who migrated from the southeastern region of Brazil where the largest Brazilian metropolises such as Rio and São Paulo are concentrated to the central west region of Brazil, where there is the largest agricultural productivity in Brazil.
The high investment and industrialization in the region, the strengthening of Brazilian agribusiness and the lack of employment in other regions of the country were the causes that contributed to the greater demand for jobs in the central west region of the country.

Jake Fleming sells graphic card update kits for computers. Jake purchases these kits for $20 and sells about 250 kits a year. Each time Jake places an order, it costs him $25 to cover shipping and paperwork. Jake figures that the cost of holding an update kit in inventory is about $3.50 per kit per year. What is the economic order quantity
Answer:
60 Kits
Explanation:
Cost price (C) = $20/Kit
Yearly se (D) = 250 kit/year
Shipping cost / Ordering cost (Co) = $25
Holding cost (Ch) = $3.5/Kit-year
Economic order quantity = √2.D.Co / Ch
Economic order quantity = √2*250*25/3.5
Economic order quantity = √12500/3.5
Economic order quantity = √3571.4285
Economic order quantity = 59.7614305
Economic order quantity = 60 Kits

Sorter Company purchased equipment for $330,000 on January 2, 2019. The equipment has an estimated service life of 8 years and an estimated residual value of $33,000 . Required: Compute the depreciation expense for 2019 under each of the following methods: Straight-line: $ fill in the blank 1 Sum-of-the-years'-digits: $ fill in the blank 2 Double-declining-balance: $
Answer:
1. Depreciation expense for 2019(Straight-line)= (Cost of the assets - Salvage value) / life of the assets
= ($330000 - $33000)/8
= $37,125
2. Sum-of-the-years'-digits = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36
Depreciation Expense for 2019(Sum-of-the-years'-digits method)
= ($330000 - $33000)*8/36
= $66,000
3. Double-declining-balance depreciation rate = (100/8 years)*2 = 25%
Depreciation Expense for 2019 = 330000*25% = $82,500
The County legislature approved its 2020 budget. Revenues from property taxes are estimated to be $800,000. The assessed value of all the property in the county is $40 million.

A. $16 for each $1,000 of net assessed value.
B. $2.67 for each $1,000 of net assessed value
C. $20 for $1,000 of net assessed value
D. $26.67 for each $1,000 of net assessed value
Answer:
The County
The property tax rate per $1,000 of net assessed value that the County must charge to collect sufficient property taxes to meet its $800,000 estimate is:
D. $26.67 for each $1,000 of net assessed value.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated Revenues from Property Taxes = $800,000
Assessed value of property in the county = $40 million
Exempted property in the county:
Homestead = $3.0 million
Veterans = 1.3 million
Old age = 0.7 million
Nonprofits = 5.0 million
Total exemptions = $10 million
Therefore, net assessed value = $30 million ($40 - 10 million)
Chargeable Rate per $1,000 = $800,000/$30,000,000 * 1,000 = $26.67
