Answer:
1. The repeal of some provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933
a. Major contributor
The repeal of some of the provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act led to lesser restrictions on the banking industry which allowed for the kind of investments that banks made leading up to 2008 that led to the crisis.
2. Savvy individual investors
b. Not a major contributor
Savvy individual investors knew how to invest and what to invest in and mostly avoided the securities that caused the crisis.
3. The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)
a. Major contributor
The CRA allowed for banks to be able to lend money to lower income households who were the major defaulters on the mortgages which was a major contributor to the crisis.
4. Borrowers lack of financial knowledge
a. Major contributor.
A lot of the borrowers did not understand what they were getting into and so when time came to pay back, they ended up being unable to. A fact which contributed in no small way to the banking crisis.
The Glass-Steagall Act, which has been adopted as part of the Banking Law of 1933 by the United States House of representatives, prohibited commercial banks from gengaing in financial services and vice versa. During in the Economic Crisis, an emergency mechanism was put in place to avoid over 5,000 banks from failing. Steagall's usefulness diminished over time, and it was substantially repealed in 1999.
2. Not a significant contributorDuring the economic meltdown of 2008–09, markets crashed, wiping out trillions of dollars of wealth around the world. Many companies' stock was on sale at deep prices, giving savvy investors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy.
3. Significant contributorThe CRA establishes an incentive structure that could entice banks to create or buy loans that otherwise would have been considered too risky. However, empirical evidence reveals that CRA-related loans constituted up a small percentage of the financial sector even during mortgage bubble.
4. Significant contributorThe company's economic knowledge is critical. The mix of financial, credit, and debt repayment information necessary to make fiscally responsible decisions in our daily lives is described as financial literacy.

On January 1, Gucci Brothers Inc. started the year with a $696,000 balance in Retained Earnings and a $602,000 balance in common stock. During the year, the company reported net income of $109,000, paid a dividend of $14,400, and issued more common stock for $30,000. What is total stockholders' equity at the end of the year?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, we will first calculate the common stock
Common stock = Balance in common stock + Common stock issued
= $602,000 + $30,000
= $632,000
Retained earnings
= Balance in retained earning + Net income - dividend paid
= $696,000 + $109,000 - $14,400
= $790,600
Total stockholder equity
= Common stock + retained earning
= $632,000 + $790,600
= $1,422,600

Based on Jacobs (1954). The Carter Caterer Company must have the following number of clean napkins available at the beginning of each of the next four days: day 1, 1500; day 2, 1200; day 3, 1800; day 4, 600. After being used, a napkin can be cleaned by one of two methods: fast service or slow service. Fast service costs 50 cents per napkin, and a napkin cleaned via fast service is available for use the day after it is last used. Slow service costs 30 cents per napkin, and these napkins can be reused two days after they are last used. New napkins can be purchased for a cost of 95 cents per napkin. Determine how to minimize the cost of meeting the demand for napkins during the next four days. (Note: There are at least two possible modeling approaches, one network and one nonnetwork. See if you can model it each way.)

Pack-and-Go, a new competitor to FedEx and UPS, does intra-city package deliveries in seven major metropolitan areas. The performance of Pack-and-Go is measured by management as: (1) delivery time (relative to budgeted delivery time), (2) on-time delivery rates (defined as agreed-upon delivery date/time plus or minus a specified cushion), and (3) percentage of lost or damaged deliveries. In response to competitive pressures, Pack-and-Go is evaluating an investment in new technology that would improve customer service and delivery quality, particularly in terms of items (2) and (3) above. The annual cost of the new technology, for each of the seven metropolitan areas serviced by Pack-and-Go, is expected to be $80,000. You have gathered the following information regarding delivery performance under both existing operations and after implementing the new technology:
Decision Alernative
After Implementing
Item Current System New Technology
On-time delivery rate 80% 95%
Variable cost per package lost or damaged $30 $30
Allocated fixed cost per package lost or damaged $10 $10
Annual number of packages lost or damaged 300 100
Based on a recent marketing study commissioned by Pack-and-Go, the company estimates that each percentage point increase in the on-time performance rate would lead to an annual revenue increase of $10,000. The average contribution margin ratio for packages delivered by Pack-and-Go is estimated as 40%.
Required:
1. From a financial perspective, should pack-and-Go invest in the new technology?
2. Based on the data collected by Pack-and-Go, the company is fairly confident about the reduction in costs associated with lost or damaged packages. However, because of uncertainties in terms of pricing in the markets in which Pack-and-Go operates, it is less sure about the predicted increase in revenues associated with the implementation of the new technology. What is the break-even increase in annual revenue that would justify the investment in the new technology?
Answer:
Pack-and-Go
1. From a financial perspective, Pack-and-Go should invest in the new technology. It will enjoy a contribution margin of 97.5%.
2. The break-even increase in annual revenue that would justify the investment in the new technology is:
Fixed cost = Contribution
$80,000 = Contribution - $8,000
= $72,000 ($80,000 - $8,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected cost of new technology investment = $80,000
Delivery performance:
Decision Alternative
After Implementing
Item Current System New Technology
On-time delivery rate 80% 95%
Variable cost per package lost
or damaged $30 $30
Allocated fixed cost per
package lost or damaged $10 $10
Annual number of packages

Total cost for lost or
damaged packages $12,000 $4,000
Increase in the on-time performance rate = 95% - 80% = 15%
Increase in annual Revenue = $10,000 * 15 = $150,000
Savings from lost or damaged packages = 8,000 ($12,000 - $4,000)
Total savings from new technology = $158,000
Annual cost of new technology = (80,000)
Net savings from new technology = $78,000
Contribution margin based on net savings = $78,000/$80,000 * 100 = 97.5%
Average contribution margin = 40%
Magazine sells subscriptions for $60 for 30 issues. The company collects cash in advance and then mails out the magazines to subscribers each month. Apply the revenue recognition principle to determine a. when Seacoast Magazine should record revenue for this situation. b. the amount of revenue Seacoast Magazine should record for five issues.
Answer:
a. Revenue is earned when when service or product are delivered to client. Thus Seacoast Magazine should recognize the revenue when it mails the magazines to its subscribers.
b. Total amount received is $60 for 30 issues.
Amount for 1 issues = Total cost / Number of issues of magazines = $60/30 = $2 per issue
Amount of 5 issues = $2 * 5 = $10
Therefore, Seacoast Magazine should record revenue $10 for 5 issues.
(b) The citizens of this country are in general very clever people, but they are not good at multiplying by 2. This made shopping for potatoes excruciatingly difficult for many citizens. Therefore it was decided to introduce a new unit of currency, such that potatoes would be the numeraire. A sack of potatoes costs one unit of the new currency while the same relative prices apply as in the past. In terms of the new currency, what is the price of meatballs
Answer: 2 sacks of potatoes
Explanation:
In the past, meatballs cost 4 crowns per crock which was twice the price of Potatoes at 2 crowns per sack.
Now that potatoes were are the new currency but relative prices apply, the same notion above applies too.
If meatballs are twice the price of potatoes and potatoes are now the currency, then meatballs which are still twice the price of potatoes must be:
= 2 * 1 sack of potatoes
= 2 sacks of potatoes
A purchase of a pair of Italian designer jeans by a resident of Japan would be considered an_____when counting GDP in Japan. As a result, this purchase would be_____Japanese GDP.

The next three questions are based on the following information: Demand for an item is 1000 units per year. A processing fee of $10 will be charged for each order placed. The purchasing cost of the item is $20. The annual cost to carry an item in inventory is 20% of the item costs. What is the unit inventory holding cost
Answer:
$4.00
Explanation:
The cost of purchasing 1000 units per year is computed thus:
the annual cost of purchase=annual demand*cost per unit
annual demand=1000
cost per unit=$20
the annual cost of purchase=1,000*$20
the annual cost of purchase=$20,000
The cost of carrying or holding the inventory for one year is 20% of cost of purchase
Annual holding cost=20%*$20,000
Annual holding cost=$4,000
the unit inventory holding cost=annual holding cost/annual demand
the unit inventory holding cost=$4,000/1000
the unit inventory holding cost=$4.00

Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering purchasing a $100,000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. She is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. However, the Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct any state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering whether to purchase a $100, 000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. Tammy is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct all state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.If required, round your computations and answers to the nearest dollar. Determine the after tax income from each bond. Virginia Bond: $ 4, 600 North Carolina Bond: $ 4, 451 Which of the two options will provide the greater after-tax return to Tammy? Virginia bond
Solution :
Assuming that the bond amount is $100,000.
After the tax income from the Virginia bond is given by:
= 100,000 x 4.5%
= $ 4500
After the income tax from the North Carolina bond :
= (100,000 x 4.6%) x (1-5%) + (100,000 x 4.6% x 5% x 0.35)
= $ 4451
Therefore the Virginia bond will give an after tax higher return.

The next dividend payment by Zone, Inc., will be $2.08 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $42 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
10.95%
Explanation:
According to the gordon growth model,
the value of stock (price) = dividend / required return - growth rate
42 = 2.08/ r - 0.06
42(r-0.06) = 2.08
2.08/42 = r - 0.06
r = 10.95%

Question Completion:
Journalize the adjusting entry.
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entry:
December 31:
Debit Advertising Expense $50,000
Credit Prepaid Advertising $50,000
To record the advertising expense for the year (1 month's).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 1: Prepaid Advertising for 4 months = $200,000
Advertising expense for the year (1 month) = $50,000 ($200,000/4 months)
Balance of Prepaid Advertising for 3 months = $150,000 ($200,000 *3/4)
b) The Adjusting Journal entry recognizes the advertising expense that relates to the year and carry forward the prepaid balance to the next accounting year. Expenses and revenue are recorded when the services are consumed or rendered and not when cash is exchanged. In this case, the $200,000 is not recognized as advertising expense for the current year. Instead, only $50,000 is recorded as expense. The balance of $150,000 is carried forward to the next year when the service will be consumed.
The distance between defects in an automated weaving process at Craft Mills, Inc. is exponentially distributed. On average there are 0.025 defects per foot. Use the random number 0.749 to simulate the distance between two defects. Give your answer to 3 decimal places. (Note: For this problem, the average (represented by tau) would be the average distance (in feet) between defects.)
Answer:
55.292 feets
Explanation:
Given that :
Average defect per foot, λ = 0.025
Random number generated = 0.791
Distance between two defects :
b(x) = 1 - e^-λx = random number
1 - e^-λx = 0.749
e^-λx = 0.749 - 1
λ = 0.025
e^-0.025x = - 0.251
Take the In of both sides ;
-0.025x = - ln(0.251)
0.025x = In(0.251)
x = In(0.251) / 0.025
x = 1.382302 / 0.025
x = 55.29209
x = 55.292 feets
Hence, distance between two defects is 55.292 feets

Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price - Unitary variable cost) / Selling price
Selling price = $2,122,200 / 262,000 = $8.1
Total variable cost = Variable manufacturing expense $975,200 + Variable selling and administrative expense $260,400 = $1,235,600
Unitary variable cost = $1,235,600 / 262,000 = $4.72
Contribution margin ratio = (8.1 - 4.72)/8.1 = 41.73% = 42%
