Answer:
Invoice price = $999.38
Explanation:
DATA
coupon rate = 6.23%
clean price = $989
par value = $1,000
invoice price = ?
Solution
As mentioned above the interest is paid semi-annually and there are 4 months to the next coupon payment it means that the last coupon payment was made 2 months ago therefore the accrued interest will be paid for 2 months.
Working
6 months coupon payment = $1000 x 6.23% x 6/12
6 months coupon payment = $31.15
Accrued interest for 2 months = $31.15 x 2/6
Accrued interest for 2 months = $10.38
Invoice price = Clean price + Accrued interest
Invoice price = $989 + $10.38
Invoice price = $999.38
Peter has opened a retirement investment account and plan to contribute $6,000 at the end of each year to his account for 30 years. He wants to retire when he has $1 million in the account. What expected annual rate of return must earn to have $1 million in his account?
Answer:
1.92
Explanation:
Using the compound interest formula
A= P [ (1-i)^n-1 (where A= 1,000,000, P= 6000, i= ?, n= 30)
1000000 = 6000 [ (1 - i)^30-1
1000000 = 6000 [ (1 - i)^29
1000000 = (6000 - 6000i)^29
1000000/6000 = (6000/6000 -6000i/6000)^29
= 166.66 = i^29
= 29✓166.66 = ✓i^29
= 1.92 = i

The city of New Orleans has 200 advertising companies, 199 of which employ designers of normal ability at a salary of $100,000 a year. The companies that employ normal designers each collect $500,000 in revenue a year, which is just enough to ensure that each earns exactly a normal profit. The 200th company, however, employs Janus Jacobs, an unusually talented designer. Because of Jacobs's talent, this company collects $1,000,000 in revenue a year.
Required:
a. How much will Jacobs earn?
b. What proportion of his annual salary will be economic rent?
c. Will the advertising company for which Jacobs works be able to earn an economic profit?
Answer:
a. Jacob should earn= $100,000 + ($1,000,000 - $500,000)
= $100,000 + $500,000
=$600,000
Hence, Jacob earns $600,000
b. The economic rent is the amount by which payment of Jacob(600,000) exceed the reservation price of the supplier(100,000)
Thus, the economic rent = 600,000 - 100,000 = $500,000
Proportion of Economic rent = Economy rent / Salary of jacob
= $500,000 / $600,000
= 5/6
Hence, the proportion of the economic rent of Jacob is salary is 5/6
c. The advertising company will not be able to make an economic profit because if they withhold some additional revenue made because of hiring Jacob, then he will switch to another advertising company at a higher salary and that company keep on making profit. The company should bid for Jacob until firm are indifferent on paying $600,000 or hiring someone else for $100,000 . Thus, the bidding of Jacob will continue until the salary of Jacob has bid up to a level where no company can make economic profits

Moss County Bank agrees to lend the Sunland Company $605000 on January 1. Sunland Company signs a $605000, 6%, 9-month note. What is the adjusting entry required if Sunland Company prepares financial statements on June 30
Answer:
DR Interest Expense $18,150
CR Interest Payable $18,150

b. If Simon makes monthly payment of $30, how many months will it be before he pays off the card. Round to the nearest month.
c. How much more in total payments will Simon make under the $10-a-month plan than under the $30-a-month plan? Make sure you use three decimal places for N.
Answer:
A.50 months
B.12.92 months
C.$112.38
Explanation:
a). Using this formula
PV of Annuity = Monthly Payment * [{1 - (1 + r)-n} / r]
Where,
PV of Annuity =$350
Monthly Payment =$10
r=(0.18/12)
Let plug in the formula
$350 = $10 * [{1 - (1 + 0.18/12)-n} / (0.18/12)]
$350 / $10 = {1 - (1.015)-n} / 0.015
35 * 0.015 = 1 - (1.015)-n
(1.015)-n = 1 - 0.525
-n[log(1.015)] = log(0.475)
-n[0.0149] = -0.7444
n = -0.7444 / -0.0149
n= 50 months
b). Using this formula
PV of Annuity = Monthly Payment * [{1 - (1 + r)-n} / r]
Where,
PV of Annuity =$350
Monthly Payment =$30
r=(0.18/12)
Let plug in the formula
$350 = $30 * [{1 - (1 + 0.18/12)-n} / (0.18/12)]
$350 / $30 = {1 - (1.015)-n} / 0.015
11.67 * 0.015 = 1 - (1.015)-n
(1.015)-n = 1 - 0.175
-n[log(1.015)] = log(0.825)
-n[0.0149] = -0.1924
n = -0.1924 / -0.0149 =
n=12.92 months
c). Calculation for the Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan
Using this formula
Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan = No. of Payments * Monthly Payment
Where,
No.of Payments =50
Monthly Payment=10
Let plug in the formula
Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan= 50 * $10 = $500
Calculation for the Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan
Using this formula
Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan = No. of Payments * Monthly Payment
Where,
No. of Payments =12.92
Monthly Payment=$30
Let plug in the formula
Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan= 12.92 * $30 = $387.62
Hence,
Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan -Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan
= $500 - $387.62
= $112.38

b. $4,250
c. $11,250
d. $14,250
e. $16,500
Answer:
d. $14,250
Explanation:
Calculation of the amount that Gum should report as estimated warranty liability on its December 31, 2009 balance sheet
First step
2% within twelve months following the sale + 4 % in the second twelve months following the sale.
Will give us 6%
Second step is to calculate the estimated warranty liability that should be reported
Sales Total of $400,000×6%
=$24,000
Hence,
Estimated warranty liability =$24,000 -Total of actual warranty expenditures of $9,750
Estimated warranty liability=$14,250
Therefore the amount that Gum should report as estimated warranty liability on its December 31, 2009 balance sheet will be $14,250

Pandora pioneered a new way to broadcast music. This kind of breakthrough of creating ________ ways to solve old problems or meeting customer needs in a ___________ new way is referred to as a pioneering new entry.
Answer:new; unique
Explanation:
Pioneering new entry is when a firm brings a new product into the market which in turn, changes the way in which businesses will be conducted.
In situations whereby the product is unique, then the pioneering firm may end up having little direct competition. Pioneering new entry is somehow risky as the product or service may not be accepted.
The decision to accept an additional volume of business should be based on a comparison of the revenue from the additional business with the sunk costs of producing that revenue.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
false
Explanation:
Sunk cost is cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. it should not be considered when making future decisions
Consider this case: Mildred’s Brewing Corp. needs to take out a one-year bank loan of $500,000 and has been offered loan terms by two different banks. One bank has offered a simple interest loan of 11% that requires monthly payments. The loan principal will be paid back at the end of the year. Another bank has offered 8% add-on interest to be repaid in 12 equal monthly installments. Based on a 360-day year, what will be the monthly payment for each loan for November? (Hint: Remember that November has 30 days.) Value Simple interest monthly payment Value Add-on interest monthly payment
Answer:
Mildred's Brewing Corp.
Monthly Payment for each loan for November:
a) Simple Interest = $55,000/12
= $4,583
b) Value Add-on interest monthly payment
= $43,494.31 ($521,931.68/12)
Explanation:
a) Data:
Bank loan = $500,000
Terms by bank one:
Simple interest of 11% paid monthly
Loan principal to be repaid at the end of the year.
Terms by bank two:
Add-on (Compound) interest = 8%
Repayment of interest and loan principal in 12 equal monthly installments.
b) Total Simple Interest Calculation:
Monthly Simple interest = ($500,000 x 11% )
= $55,000
c) Add-on Interest Calculation:
Using an online calculator, the total add-on interest will be $21,932.68 at an effective interest rate of 0.667% compounded monthly or 8%/12.
Principal = $500,000.00
Total interest $21,931.68
Principal + Interest $521,931.68
Monthly Repayment = $43,494.31 ($521,931.68/12)
d) The simple interest option will cost $55,000 in simple interest and the loan repayment at year-end of $500,000. The Add-on interest with equal monthly repayment of interest and principal will be $43,494.31, which costs $21,931.68 in total compound interest.
Write a two- to three-paragraph response discussing whether you think the patent system is useful and beneficial. Why do you think the patent system is or is not working
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Patent is a term that describes a governmental grant or legal right to inventors of an intellectual property, to refrain or stop others from making, using, selling or importing their invention to and from other country.
Patent system is useful and beneficial because of the following reasons:
1. It allows an inventor the right to stop others from copying, manufacturing, selling or importing individual's invention without the person's permission. This will surely encourage invention from other people, which will lead to more technological advancement in the country.
2. It gives an inventor protection for a pre-determined period. This helps to refrain competitors from competing with the inventor, and in turn, leads to profit maximization for the inventor.
3. It also allows the inventor to license patent for others to use it or can sell. This can be considered as a great source of revenue for inventor's business, by collecting royalties from a patent they have licensed, often in a combination with a registered design and trade mark.
Suppose that the government imposes a $2 a cup tax on coffee. The rise in the price of a Starbucks coffee will be ______, coffee. The number of cups of coffee bought in coffee shops will _______.
Answer:
increase, decrease
Explanation:
In simple words, when the tax was imposed on the product the company will ultimately bear it to the final consumer which means the price will rise. However when the price of the product rises the demand for that product decreases due to the fact that many individuals would not be able to buy it now from their limited income, this phenomenon is called price elasticity due to income.
Answer:
increasedecreaseExplanation:
1. Calculate the growth rate between 2010 and 2014 for a company with the following revenue. Year Revenue 2010 735 2011 985 2012 1152 2013 1347 2014 1658 2015 1895
Answer: 230.75 (units/ year)
Explanation:
To compute the growth rate between 2010 and 2014, we use the following formula :
Growth rate = [(Revenue in 2014) -(Revenue in 2010)]÷ [Difference between 2010 and 2014]
From the table, Revenue in 2010 = 735
Revenue in 2014= 1658
Then, Growth rate = (1658 -735)÷ (2014-2010)
= 923÷ 4
= 230.75
Hence, the growth rate between 2010 and 2014 = 230.75 (units/ year)
Assume a nominal interest rate on one-year US Treasury Bills of 4.60% and a real rate of interest of 2.50%. Using the Fisher Effect Equation, what is the approximate expected rate of inflation in the US over the next year
Answer:
2.0488%
Explanation:
Fisher Effect Equation = ( 1 + nominal rate ) = ( 1 + inflation rate ) x (1 + real rate)
= ( 1 + 0.046) = ( 1 + inflation rate ) x (1 + 0.025)
( 1 + inflation rate ) = ( 1 + 0.046) / (1 + 0.025)
( 1 + inflation rate ) = 1.020488
Inflation rate = 1.020488 - 1 = 0.020488 = 2.0488%
Carla Vista Company has the following information available for September 2020.
Unit selling price of video game consoles $410
Unit variable costs $328
Total fixed costs $36,900
Units sold 600
1. Compute the unit contribution margin.
2. Prepare a CVP income statement that shows both total and per unit amounts.
3. Compute Carla Vista’ break-even point in units.
4. Prepare a CVP income statement for the break-even point that shows both total and per unit amounts.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unit selling price of video game consoles $410
Unit variable costs $328
Total fixed costs $36,900
Units sold 600
First, we need to determine the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= 410 - 328= $82
Contribution margin income statement:
Sales= 600*410= 246,000
Total variable cost= 600*328= (196,800)
Total contribution margin= 49,200
Fixed costs= (36,900)
Net operating income= $12,300
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 39,200/82
Break-even point in units= 478 units
Finally, the income statement for the break-even point:
Sales= 478*410= 195,980
Total variable cost= 478*328= (156,784)
Total contribution margin= 39,196
Total fixed costs= (39,200)
Net operating income= (4)

If the dividend yield for year one is expected to be 5% based on the current price of $50, what will year three dividend (DIV3) be if dividends grow at a constant 4%
Answer:
Div₃ = $2.81
Explanation:
dividend yield = current dividend / current stock price
0.05 = current dividend / $50
current dividend = $50 x 0.5 = $2.50
Div₀ = $.250
Div₁ = $2.50 x 1.04 = $2.60
Div₂ = $2.60 x 1.04 = $2.704 = $2.70
Div₃ = $2.704 x 1.04 = $2.81
