Answer:
the best guess is 14.4%
Explanation:
The computation of the best guess for the rate of return on the stock is shown below
Before
11% = α + [6% × 1] + [5% × 0.8]
11% = α + 6% + 4%
α = 1%
Now With the changes:
= 1% + [7% × 1] + [8% × 0.8]
= 1% + 7% + 6.4%
= 14.4%
Hence, the best guess is 14.4%

The term auction facility
The discount rate
Answer:
The reserve ratio - The Federal Reserve Bank increases the share of total deposits that banks can legally loan.
The reserve ratio is the percentage of deposits that banks have to keep as reserve and cannot loan. If the fed lowers the reserve ration, it means that banks can loan a higher share of the total deposits that they store.
Open-market operation - The European Central Bank purchases bonds from commercial banks.
In Open-market operations, central banks purchase bonds and other securities in the open market in order to lower the interest rate, or they sell securities in order to raise the interest rate.
The term auction facility - The Federal Reserve requests secret bids from banks for the right to borrow money.
The term auction facility is a program in which the Federal Reserve bids loans under special conditions to bidding banks.
The discount rate - The central bank decreases the rate that it charges to commercial banks for loans.
The discount rate is the rate at which central banks loan money to commercial banks.

Meiji Isetan Corp. of Japan has two regional divisions with headquarters in Osaka and Yokohama. Selected data on the two divisions follow: Division Osaka Yokohama Sales $ 10,200,000 $ 32,000,000 Net operating income $ 816,000 $ 3,200,000 Average operating assets $ 2,550,000 $ 16,000,000 Required: 1. For each division, compute the return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Assume that the company evaluates performance using residual income and that the minimum required rate of return for any division is 17%. Compute the residual income for each division. 3. Is Yokohama’s greater amount of residual income an indication that it is better managed?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. The return on investment for Osaka will be:
= (816000/10200000) × (10200000 × 2550000)
= 32%
The return on investment for Yokohama will be:
= (3200000/32000000) × (32000000/16000000)
= 20%
2. See attachment
3. Yokohama’s greater amount of residual income is not an indication that it is better managed. Since Yokohama Division is bigger than Osaka Division, it's expected that Yokohama will have a greater residual amount.

A corporation declared and issued a 20% stock dividend on October 1. The following information was available immediately prior to the dividend: Retained earnings $ 760,000 Shares issued and outstanding 61,000 Market value per share $ 16 Par value per share $ 5 The amount that contributed capital will increase (decrease) as a result of recording this stock dividend is:
Answer:
$195,200 increase
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the contributed capital increase or decrease is shown below:
Given that
Stock Dividend = Outstanding shares × 20%
= 61,000 Shares × 20%
= 12,200 shares
Now the Value of Stock Dividend is
= Number of Shares × Market Value per share
= 12,200 Shares × $16
= $195,200
There is an increase in the contributed capital
Following are some of Friendly Village’s transactions during the calendar year 2019. For each transaction, state (a) the amount the Village would report as expenditures for the year 2019 if the transaction occurred in a governmental‑type fund and (b) the amount it would report as expenses for the year if the transaction occurred in an Enterprise Fund.
1. Friendly paid $600,000 in salaries during the year. In addition, during the last pay period, Friendly’s employees earned $5,000 by December 31, but that amount was not paid until the first week of January, 2020.
2. Friendly used the proceeds of long‑term bonds to buy a sanitation truck. The truck was delivered on July 1, 2019, and immediately placed into service. The truck cost $100,000 and had an estimated useful life of 10 years.
3. Friendly had agreed to pay off the $100,000 used to buy the sanitation truck (see previous transaction) over a 5‑year period, starting December 31, 2019. On that date, Friendly paid the first installment on the debt, $10,000 in principal and $3,000 in interest.

The partnership expects to report substantial income in future years.
Required:
a. What ordering rules are used to calculate Bradâs ending basis in his partnership interest?
b. How much gain or loss will Brad report for the tax year?
c. Will the deduction for the $10,000 loss be suspended? Why or why not?
d. Could any planning opportunities be used to minimize any negative tax ramifications of the distribution? Explain.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a.
The rules used here is called the ordering rules. It can also be called reduce basis distribution.
b.
For the tax year report , the gain would be $5,000
c.
The deduction for the loss of $10,000 could be suspended or put on hold.
The reason is that losses are not deductible to pay off shareholders
d.
It is true that there are planning opportunities, which could mitigate the negative tax ramifications of the distribution as are under tax diversification. Here, it will open more room for flexibility in order to optimally the most tax efficient method of liquidating assets.
Martin Company purchases a machine at the beginning of the year at a cost of $160,000. The machine is depreciated using the double-declining-balance method. The machine’s useful life is estimated to be 4 years with a $13,300 salvage value. The machine’s book value at the end of year 3 is:
Answer:
$6,700.
Explanation:
How to find
Depreciation Expense = Beginning of Year Book Value × Double Straight-line Rate
Depreciation Expense = $160,000 × (2 × 25%) = $80,000 (Depreciation Expense, year 1)
Depreciation Expense = Beginning of Year Book Value × Double Straight-line Rate
Depreciation Expense = ($160,000 − $80,000) × (2 × 25%) = $40,000 (Depreciation Expense, year 2)
Depreciation Expense = Beginning of Year Book Value × Double Straight-line Rate
Depreciation Expense = ($160,000 − $120,000) × (2 × 25%) = $20,000 (Depreciation Expense, year 3) Depreciation Expense = Beginning of Year Book Value × Double Straight-line Rate
Depreciation Expense = ($160,000 − $140,000) × (2 × 25%) = $10,000, but this would reduce the book value to less than salvage. Therefore, depreciation expense in year 4 is limited to $6,700.
(Book value at the beginning of the year, $20,000, minus the $13,300 salvage.)

QUESTION 6 You discover a technical ‘anomaly’ in the US stock market. You find that stocks that go up X% or more 2 days in a row have an expected alpha of X/100% the following day (for example if a stock goes up 6% and 9%, then the next day its expected alpha is 0.06%). Suppose stock A has a BID-ASK spread of 0.2%, and has gone up 10% and 15% percent in the last 2 days. What is your expected profit (in dollars) if you choose to implement your strategy and take a $1000 position in the stock for one day?
Answer:
i) $98
ii) $148
iii) -$1
Explanation:
The BID-ASK price = 0.2% i.e. the market spread
If stock A has gone 10% and 15% percent in the last 2 days, following the discovered technical anomaly the next day the alpha will be
= 10% / 100%
= 0.1%
Calculate your profit If you take a $1000 position in the stock market for one day
i) assume you take a buy position on day 1 ( 10% )
Your expected profit = ( 10% - 0.2% ) * $1000 = 9.8% * 1000 = $98
ii) assume you take a buy position on day 2 ( 15%)
profit = ( 15% - 0.2% ) * 1000 = $148
iii) assume you take a buy position on day 3 ( 0.1% )
profit = ( 0.1% - 0.2% ) * 1000 = - $1 ( you will make a loss )

During 2020, Vaughn Furniture Company purchases a carload of wicker chairs. The manufacturer sells the chairs to Vaughn for a lump sum of $131,670 because it is discontinuing manufacturing operations and wishes to dispose of its entire stock. Three types of chairs are included in the carload. The three types and the estimated selling price for each are listed below.
Type No. of Chairs Estimated Selling
Price Each
Lounge chairs 880 $90
Armchairs 660 80
Straight chairs 1,540 50
During 2020, Sarasota sells 440 lounge chairs, 220 armchairs, and 264 straight chairs.
What is the amount of gross profit realized during 2020? What is the amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs on December 31, 2020?
Answer:Gross profit realized during 2020 =$30,899
amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs on December 31, 2020 =$63,800
Explanation:
A)Vaughn Furniture Company purchases a carload of wicker chairs at a cost of a lump sum of $131,670 in 2020
Now the total number of chairs purchased per type is;
Lounge chairs 880
Armchairs 660
Straight chairs 1,540
Total = 3,080 chairs purchased
Also, Vaughn sells
440 Lounge chairs at $90 each = 440 x 90=$39,600
220 Armchairs at $80 each= 220 x 80 =$ 17600
264 Straight chairs at $50 each = 264 x 50 =$13,200
Total selling price of 924 chairs =$39,600+$ 17600+$13,200 =$70,400
Now , if 3,080 chairs can be purchased for a-lump sum amount of $131,670
924 chairs can be puchased in a lump sum of (924 x 131,670) /3080
=$39,501
Remember that the Selling price for 924 chairs =$70,400
Gross profit realized during 2020 = $70,400 -$39,501=$30,899
b).
Estimated Selling Price value for straight chair =$50
Straight chairs remaining= 1540-264=1276
1276 at $50 each = 1276 X 50 =$63,800

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
a. the tire sold is not included in US GDP because it is an intermediate good. An intermediate good is a good that is used in the production of other goods. The tire is used as an input in the production of a two-door coupe
b. The car would be included as part of business spending in US GDP
C. The table would be included in GDP as part of consumption spending on durables
d. Services rendered to ones self is not recorded in GDP
In the short term, increasing production is:________.
a) always beneficial because average total cost eventually falls
b) not always beneficial because marginal cost eventually falls
c) not always beneficial because average total cost eventually increase faster
d) always beneficial because marginal cost is constant
2) If a firms average total cost is increasing, the:_______.
a) marginal cost must be lower than average total cost
b) marginal cost must be lower than total cost
c) marginal cost must be higher than averags total cost
d) marginal cost must be higher than total cost
3) In the short term, as production reaches high levels:__________.
a) all costs increase
b) all costs increase except marginal cost
c) all costs increase except average fixed cost
Answer:
1. c) not always beneficial ..... ATC increase faster
2. c) MC > ATC ; 3. c) All except AFC increase
Explanation:
1. In short run, when more & more variable factors are employed on a fixed factor - Total cost first increase at decreasing rate, then at increasing rate. So, Average Total cost first decreases, & then increases (keeps on increasing faster with increase in production).
2. Marginal Cost, Average Total Cost relationship - MC > ATC, AC rises. MC < ATC, ATC falls & MC = ATC, ATC is minimum. So, ATC is increasing when MC is higher than ATC
3. Due to Law of Diminishing Productivity (as explained in 1), higher production implies rise in all costs - TVC, AVC, MC, ATC. But Average Fixed Cost = Total Fixed Cost (constant) / Output (increasing) falls.

Explanation:
A company purchases a 17,160-square-foot commercial building for $385,000 and spends an additional $56,000 to divide the space into two separate rental units and prepare it for rent. Unit A, which has the desirable location on the corner and contains 3,510 square feet, will be rented for $1.00 per square foot. Unit B contains 13,650 square feet and will be rented for $0.60 per square foot. How much of the joint cost should be assigned to Unit B using the value basis of allocation
Answer: $308,700
Explanation:
First find proportion of rental income that comes from Unit B out of the total:
= (13,650 * 0.60) / [(3,510 * 1) + (13,650 * 0.60)]
= 8,190 / 11,700
= 70%
Joint cost = 385,000 + 56,000
= $441,000
Proportion to be assigned to Unit B:
= 441,000 * 70%

Predict how the Fed would likely respond if the output gap became more positive, so that output moved from being 0.1% above potential output to being 3% above potential output, and inflation rose above its 2% target rate. a. The Fed would likely set a interest rate target. How would you expect unemployment to change over the next year or two in response to the Fed’s actions? b. If the Fed pursued this action, you would expect unemployment to over the next year or two.
Answer:
There are some missing details in this question so I shall attempt to answer as best I can.
a. The Fed would set a higher interest rate target.
If the economy is this much above the potential output, it means that the economy is overheated and so the Fed will act to bring it back close to the potential GDP.
To do so, they will aim to increase interest rates. This would make it more expensive for people and companies to borrow money. They will therefore borrow less to fund investments which would lead to the economy's growth reducing and theoretically coming back to the potential GDP level.
b. Unemployment would increase.
As companies find it more expensive to borrow money to fund investments, there will be a decrease in the rates at which people are being hired because less ventures will be formed. Unemployment will therefore gradually rise and will mirror the reduction in economic activity and growth.
You purchased five August 13 futures contracts on soybeans at a price quote of 1056′6. Each contract is for 5,000 bushels with the price quoted in cents and 1/8 ths of a cent per bushel. Assume the contract price is 1061′4 when you close out your contract six weeks from now. What will be your total profit or loss on this investment? A) $6,480.75 B) $1,187.50 C) $950.25 D) $24,000.00 E) $16,200.50
Answer:
B) $1,187.50
Explanation:
The computation of the total profit or loss on this investment is given below:
Expiration price = 1061'4 = 1061 + 4 ÷ 8 = 1061.50
Quoted price = 1056'6 = 1056 + 6 ÷ 8 = 1056.75
Now the profit is
= (1061.50 - 1056.75) × 5000 × 5
= $1,187.50
Hence, the profit on this investment is $1,187.50
ABC Corporation adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation on December 31, 2019. Its inventory at that date was $1,000,000 and the relevant price index was 1.00. Information regarding inventory for subsequent years is as follows: Date Inventory at Current Year Prices Price Index 12/31/2019 1,000,000 1.00 12/31/2020 1,285,200 1.08 12/31/2021 1,439,100 1.23 12/31/2022 1,625,000 1.30 What is the cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2021 under dollar-value LIFO
Answer:
$1,209,100
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of the ending inventory as on Dec 31,2021 is shown below:
= Inventory as on Dec 31,2019 + {(Inventory as on Dec 31,2021 ÷ 2021 price index × 2019 price index) - Inventory as on Dec 31,2019} × 2021 price index ÷ 2019 price index
= $1,000,000 + {($1,439,100 ÷ 1.23 × 1) - $1,000,000} × 1.23 ÷ 1
= $1,000,000 + ($1,170,000 - $1,000,000) × 1.23
= $1,000,000 + $209,100
= $1,209,100

Rancher Hiram Walker purchased Rose, a cow, for $850 in the hope that she would breed calves. After several years of effort, Walker concludes that Rose cannot bear calves and agrees to sell her to T.C. Sherwood for $80. When Sherwood came to collect Rose, however, the parties discovered that the cow was in fact pregnant. A confirmed breeder is worth about $1,000. Walker refused to part with Rose, and Sherwood sued for breach of contract. A court may determine that the contract between Walker and Sherwood is voidable due to what defensive legal theory?
Answer: Mutual mistake
Explanation:
A mutual mistake in a contract is a situation that arises when the parties in a contract make the same mistake in reference to a significant fact in the contract. i.e., they are mutually ignorant of a fact of the contract.
Had they both known about that mistake, they might not have gone into the contract so the contract is voidable in this scenario.
Both Walker and Sheerwood were mutually mistaken about the fact that Rose was pregnant when they went into the contract so this contract is voidable by this theory.
Teall Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours (MHs). The company has provided the following data for the most recent month:
Budgeted level of activity 10,300 MHs
Actual level of activity 10,400 MHs
Standard variable manufacturing overhead rate $7.50 per MH
Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost $68,000
Actual total variable manufacturing overhead $69,600
Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $73,800
Required:
What was the fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the month?
Answer:
$5,800(U)
Explanation:
Given that;
The fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance is the difference between budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost and actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost.
Budgeted fixed overhead cost = Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost - Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead cost
= $68,000 - $73,800
= $5,800 (U)
The variance is an unfavorable since the actual overhead cost of $73,800 is more than the budgeted cost of $68,000
Therefore, the fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the month is $5,800(U)
Sheridan Company is planning to sell 1000 buckets and produce 580 buckets during March. Each bucket requires 600 grams of plastic and one-half hour of direct labor. Plastic costs $10 per 600 grams and employees of the company are paid $14 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Sheridan has 1100 kilos of plastic in beginning inventory and wants to have 600 kilos in ending inventory. How much is the total amount of budgeted direct labor for March
Answer:
Budgeted labour cost = $12,180
Explanation:
Budgeted labour cost for a forth accounting period is the product of the budgeted labour hours and the standard rate per hour.
The standard rate per hour is the amount paid to workers for each hour worked.
The budgeted labour hours is the product of budgeted production units and the standard hours per unit
Budgeted labour cost = 580× 1.5 × $14=$12,180
Budgeted labour cost = $12,180
