Answer: $16,800 tax payment.
Explanation:
Annual depreciation on machine = [tex]\frac{1,800,000}{15}[/tex]
= $120,000
Accumulated Depreciation in 13 years;
= 120,000*13
= $1,560,000
Book Value at 13 years
= 1,800,000 - 1,560,000
= $240,000
Company sold it at a higher price than its book value so there will be a capital gain of;
= 320,000 - 240,000
= $80,000
Tax is charged on the marginal gain;
= 80,000 * 21%
= $16,800
A dry cleaner uses exponential smoothing to forecast equipment usage. The August forecast was 88% and the actual was 89.6%. Use a smoothing constant of 0.1.
A. Prepare a forecast for September.
B. Assuming actual September usuage of 92 %, prepare a forecast for October usage
Answer:
1. 88.16%
2. 88.54%
Explanation:
a. Prepare a forecast for September
Smoothing constant (a) is 0.1
Forecast for August (Ft) is 88%
Actual usage for August (At) is 89.6%
Forecast for September(Ft +1) will therefore be;
Using the formulae
= Ft+a (At-Ft)
= 88% + 0.1(89.6% - 88%)
= 88% + 0.16%
= 88.16%
b. Assuming actual September usage of 92% , prepare a forecast for October usage.
Since we have the following,
Smoothing constant(a) 0.1
Then forecast for September(Ft) is 88.16%
Also, actual usage for September (At) is 92%
Therefore, forecast for October (Ft + 1) will be,
Using the formula
= Ft+a(At - Ft)
= 88.16% + 0.1(92% - 88.16%)
= 88.16% + 0.384%
= 88.54%
If the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.9, the spending multiplier is _____, the tax multiplier is ______, and the balanced budget multiplier is _______, respectively.
Answer:
If the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.9, the spending multiplier is 10, the tax multiplier is -9, and the balanced budget multiplier is 1, respectively.
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
a) Calculation of spending multiplier
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the spending multiplier as follows:
Spending multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc)
Since mpc = 0.9, we have:
Spending multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc) = 1 / (1 - 0.9) = 1 / 0.1 = 10
b) Calculation of tax multiplier
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the tax multiplier as follows:
Tax multiplier = -mpc / mps
Note that the tax multiplier as given above is negative because increase in tax by the government makes the multiplier to work in reverse since the money is leaving the circular flow.
Since what is not consumed is saved, we have:
mps = 1 - mpc = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1
Therefore,
Tax multiplier = -0.9 / 0.1 = -9
c) Calculation of balanced budget multiplier
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the balanced budget multiplier as follows:
Balanced budget multiplier = Spending multiplier + Tax multiplier = 10 + (-9) = 10 - 9 = 1
Note that balanced budget multiplier is always equal to 1 as obtained above.
Conclusion
Therefore, if the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.9, the spending multiplier is 10, the tax multiplier is -9, and the balanced budget multiplier is 1, respectively.
A proposed project has fixed costs of $47,000 per year. The operating cash flow at 11,000 units is $69,000. a. Ignoring the effect of taxes, what is the degree of operating leverage
Answer: 1.68
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a proposed project has fixed costs of $47,000 per year and that the operating cash flow at 11,000 units is $69,000.
Ignoring the effect of taxes, the degree of operating leverage will be:
= 1 + ($47,000/$69,000)
= 1 + 0.68
= 1.68
If a country produces only two products, then by looking at the country's production possibilities curve (PPC), one can see that the opportunity cost of producing one of the products is the same as (equal to) the marginal cost of producing that product.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the cost of the good or service is the opportunity cost of producing one or one of the units of it. It's the cost of producing one r ore unit of good. Marginal cost includes the cost included the producing of every unit. Opportunity cost is the alternative cost incurred by not using the opportunity cost of the other product.Galaxy Corp. is considering opening a new division to make iToys that it expects to sell at a price of $15,250 each in the first year of the project. The company expects the cost of producing each iToy to be $6,700 in the first year; however, it expects the selling price and cost per iToy to increase by 3.00% each year.
Based on the preceding information and rounding dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollars, the company expects the selling price in the fourth year of the project to be_______ , and it expects the cost per unit in the fourth year of the project to be _______.
Answer:
Selling price= $17,164
Unitary variable cost= $7,541
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price in the first year= $15,250
Unitary variable cost on the first year= $6,700
Increase rate= 3%
To calculate the selling price and variable cost per unit in the fourth year, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
PV= current value
i= increase rate
n= number of years
Selling price= 15,250*(1.03^4)= $17,164
Unitary variable cost= 6,700*(1.03^4)= $7,541
Alpaca Corporation had revenues of $260,000 in its first year of operations. The company has not collected on $19,300 of its sales and still owes $26,300 on $90,000 of merchandise it purchased. The company had no inventory on hand at the end of the year. The company paid $13,000 in salaries. Owners invested $10,000 in the business and $10,000 was borrowed on a five-year note. The company paid $4,900 in interest that was the amount owed for the year, and paid $6,000 for a two-year insurance policy on the first day of business. Alpaca has an effective income tax rate of 40%. Compute net income for the first year for Alpaca Corporation.
Answer:
$89,460
Explanation:
The computation of the net income is shown below:
Sales $260,000
Less: Cost of goods sold -$90,000
Gross margin $170,000
Less:
Salaries -$13,000
Insurance payment -$3,000 ($6,000 ÷ 2 years)
Interest -$4,900
profit before tax $149,100
Less: tax expense -$59,640
Net income $89,460
We simply deducted all expenses from the revenues so that the net income could arrive and the same is to be considered
Assume that ExxonMobil uses a standard cost system for each of its refineries. For the Houston refinery, the monthly fixed overhead budget is $8,000,000 for a planned outputs of 5,000,000 barrels. For September, the actual fixed cost was $8,750,000 for 5,100,000 barrels.
Required
a. Determine the fixed overhead budget variance.
b. If fixed overhead is applied on a per-barrel basis, determine the volume variance.
c. Provide formulas and an explanation.
Answer:
a. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead
= $8,000,000 - $8,750,000
= $750,000 Unfavorable
b. Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = $8,000,000 / 5,000,000
= $1.60 per barrel
Fixed overhead applied = 5,100,000 * $1.60
= $8,160,000
Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead
= $8,160,000 - $8,000,000
= $160,000 Favorable
c. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead
Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = Budgeted fixed overhead / Planned outputs
Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead
A monopolist has four distinct groups of customers. Group A has an elasticity of demand of 0.2, B has an elasticity of demand of 0.8, C has an elasticity of demand of 1.0, and D has an elasticity of demand of 2.0. The group paying the highest price for the product will be
Answer: Group A
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of demand refers to the sensitivity of quantity demanded given a change in price. In other words, how much will quantity demanded change if price changes. Higher elastcities mean that when prices change, their quantity demanded changes more. For instance, an elasticity of demand of 2 means that when prices rise by 2%, demand will decrease by 4%.
The group that will be paying the most therefore will have to be the group that is least sensitive to paying that high price. That would be Group A. As they are not very sensitive to price changes with an elasticity of 0.2, the Monopoly can increase their price to a higher point than others knowing that they won't demand less goods.
The stock in Bowie Enterprises has a beta of .85. The expected return on the market is 11.50 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.85 percent. What is the required return on the company's stock?
Answer:
10.203%
Explanation:
The stock in Bowie's enterprises has a beta of 0.85
The expected return on the market is 11.50%
The risk free rate is 2.85%
Therefore, the required return on the company's stock can be calculated as follows
Required return= Risk free rate+beta(market rate-risk free rate)
= 2.85+0.85(11.50-2.85)
= 2.85+ 0.85(8.65)
= 2.85+7.3525
= 10.203%
Hence the required rate in the company's stock is 10.203%
From 1991 to 2000, the U.S. economy had an annual inflation rate of around 2.76%. The historical annual nominal risk-free rate for this same period was around 5.71%. Using the approximate nominal interest rate equation and the true nominal interest rate equation, compute the real interest rate for that decade. What is the estimated real interest rate using the approximate nominal interest rate equation for that decade?
Answer:
2.95% and 2.87%
Explanation:
The computation of the approximate real rate and the estimated real interest rate is shown below:
The Approximate real rate is
= Historic annual nominal risk free rate - Annual inflation rate
= 5.71% - 2.76%
= 2.95%
And, the estimated real interest rate is
= (1 + historical annual nominal risk free rate) ÷ (1 + annual inflation rate) - 1
= (1 + 0.0571) ÷ (1 + 0.0276) - 1
= 2.87%
We simply applied the above formulas so that each one could be determined
Cammie received 100 NQOs (each option provides a right to purchase 10 shares of MNL stock for $10 per share) at the time she started working for MNL Corporation (5/1/Y1) four years ago when MNL’s stock price was $8 per share. Now that MNL’s stock price is $40 per share (8/15/Y5), she intends to exercise all of her options. After acquiring the 1,000 MNL shares with her options, she held the shares for over one year (10/1/Y6) and sold them at $60 per share.
b. What are MNL Corporation’s tax savings on the grant date (5/1/Y1), exercise date (8/15/Y5), and sale date (10/1/Y6)?
Answer:
b. What are MNL Corporation’s tax savings on the grant date (5/1/Y1), exercise date (8/15/Y5), and sale date (10/1/Y6)?
MNL Corporation will have no tax effects on the grant date and (5/1/Y1) and the date that Cammie sold the stocks (10/1/Y6).
The only tax effect results from the exercise date (8/15/Y5). Tax savings = (total amount of stocks exercised x market price at the time) x marginal tax rate = (1,000 stocks x $40) x tax rate = $40,000 x tax rate
Since no marginal tax rate is given in the question, we can calculate it for different options:
if tax rate = 21%, then tax savings = $40,000 x 21% = $8,400if tax rate = 35%, then tax savings = $40,000 x 35% = $14,000If the USA could produce 1 ton of potatoes or 0.5 tons of wheat per worker per year, while Ireland could produce 3 tons of potatoes or 2 tons of wheat per worker per year, there can be mutual gains from trade if:
This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here are the options:
A. The USA specializes in potatoes because of its comparative advantage in producing potatoes.
B. The USA specializes in wheat because of its absolute advantage in producing wheat.
C. The USA specializes in wheat because of its comparative advantage in producing wheat.
D. There can be no mutual gains from trade.
The correct answer to this question is A. The USA specializes in potatoes because of its comparative advantage in producing potatoes.
Explanation:
In economics, a country has a comparative advantage, if it can produce a specific good at a lower opportunity cost, which implies the loss of choosing the product over others is low. Also, mutual gains are possible if each country specializes in the product with a comparative advantage. Moreover, to know which country has an opportunity advantage you need to calculate the opportunity cost of 1 unit, or, in this case, 1 ton of the product.
In the case of the U.S. you already know 1 ton of potatoes is equivalent to 0.5 tons of wheat, which is the opportunity cost. Now, let's calculate this factor for the production of 1 ton of potatoes in Ireland
3 tons of potatoes = 2 tons of wheat 1. Use 3 (tons of potatoes) and divide both numbers into three
3 tons of potatoes/ 3 = 2 tons of wheat / 3
1 ton of potatoes = 0.66
This shows the opportunity cost in the USA is lower and this represents a comparative advantage as less is lost when potatoes are chosen over wheat. Thus, to benefit both countries the USA should specialize in potatoes due to the higher comparative advantage or lower opportunity cost.
Suppose a stock has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 6%. What is the likelihood that this stock returns between 12% and 18%
Answer: 34.13%.
Explanation:
Given : Expected return : [tex]\mu=12\%=0.12[/tex]
Standard deviation: [tex]\sigma=6\%=0.06[/tex]
Let x be the stock returns.
Then, the probability that stock returns between 12% and 18%:
[tex]P(0.12<x<0.18)=P(\dfrac{0.12-0.12}{0.06}<\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{0.18-0.12}{0.06})\\\\=P(0<Z<1)\ \ \ [\because z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=P(Z<1)-P(Z<0)\\\\=0.8413-0.5\ \ \ \text{[By z-table]}\\\\=0.3413[/tex]
Hence, the likelihood that this stock returns between 12% and 18% is 34.13%.

Many Western European countries are giving monetary incentives to employees who have multiple children. Why would they do this? How would a baby boom change Japan's demographics?
Answer:
The incentive is to encourage more families to have more children.
A baby boom in Japan will ensure that there is enough workforce to maintain the growing economy in the future.
Explanation:
The western countries, especially Europe is battling with population decline, which is estimated to have an economic impact in the future, due to a potential decline in the labor force in the future. To counter this, many of these western nations have crated policies that encourages childbirth by providing incentive for families with multiple children, reducing tax for such families, and even as far as up to 12 to 16 months paid paternity and maternity leave, when a couple has a new baby. Couples are also given government paychecks when they go on childbirth leave.
Japan is one of the countries that has been experiencing a population decline in recent years. The number of death seem to be more than the number of births. The general effect is the fear of a dwindling work force of the future. This will lead to more people retiring later, and there would be a huge pressure on the pension schemes, and the economy as a whole due to this. A population boom will mean that a future workforce is guaranteed, and the retirement age lowered, and the call for dependency on automation due to a shrinking workforce can be reviewed.
Many of the western and developed nations are now giving incentives to those who produce more than one child or multiple children.
As their economy is getting old and is aging hence in order to company the problem of the aging of population monetary incentives are given. The baby boom is a condition related to the growth of babies. Japan is a greying nation that has a negatively declining trend of population. Due to the larger medical aid population is getting older and the birth rate is low. A baby boom may lead to an increase in youth and the young population. More children and more people.Learn more about the Western European countries that are giving monetary incentives.

The city of Oak Ridge is considering the construction of a four kilometer (km) greenway walking trail. It will cost $1 comma 000 per km to build the trail and $340 per km per year to maintain it over its 22-year life. If the city's MARR is 11% per year, what is the equivalent uniform annual cost of this project? Assume the trail has no residual value at the end of 22 years.
Answer:
equivalent uniform annual cost = $1,849.25
Explanation:
Initial cost $4,000
then 22 cash outflows of $1,360
discount rate 11%
using a financial calculator, we determine the NPV = -$15,119.01
EAC = (NPV x r) / [1 - (1 + r)⁻ⁿ]
EAC = (-$15,119.01 x 11%) / [1 - (1 + 11%)⁻²²] = -$1,663.09 / 0.89933 = -$1,849.25

Suppose that you take $50 in currency out of your pocket and deposit it in your checking account. If the required reserve ratio is 8%, what is the largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of your action?
Answer:
The largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of the action is $625.
Explanation:
This is an example of money multiplier.
Money multiplier refers to the maximum amount of money that commercial bank can create or generate with each dollar of reserves.
Reserves or required reserves refer to the amount of money or portion of deposit that the central bank such as the Federal Reserve requires banks to hold and not lend.
In order to determine the largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of $50 deposit, money multiplier is used to multiply the $50 deposit.
The formula for the money multiplier is given as follows:
Money multiplier = 1/r
Where;
r = required reserve ratio = 8%, or 0.08.
Therefore, we have:
Money multiplier = 1 / 0.08 = 12.50
Largest amount of increase = Amount of deposit * Money multiplier = $50 * 12.50 = $625.
Therefore, the largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of the action is $625.
Suppose you run a lawn mowing business. You charge $15 per lawn, you can mow five lawns in an eight hour day, and you work five days a week. You currently have more people asking you to mow their lawns than you can satisfy so you are considering hiring someone to help. Your other option is to rent a riding lawn mower that will enable you to mow seven lawns each day. Your friend Jim, a good worker, will work for $8 per hour and will be able to mow five lawns in an eight hour day also. If you rent a riding mower, it will cost you $100 per week plus $25 for gas and oil.
Required:
What is your best option? Explain why you believe this is your best choice.
Answer:
Option 2
Explanation:
Option 1 If we hire someone to help
Revenue = $15/lawn x 5 lawns per day
Revenue = $75 x 7 days = $525
Total cost = Rate per hour x No. of lawns per day x No, of hours worked
Total cost = $8 x 5 x $8
Total cost = $320 x 7days = 2,240
Profit/Loss = $525- $2,240
Profit/loss = $1,715 loss
Option 2 If we rent a riding mower
Revenue = 7 lawns per day x $15/lawn x 7 days
Revenue = $735
Cost = $100 + $25 for gas and oi
Cost = $125
Profit/loss = $610
The best option would be Option 2 because Firstly it is very much low in cost and provides us a great revenue secondly, it also increases our work efficiency.
For a stock to be in equilibrium, that is, for there to be no long-term pressure for its price to depart from its current level, then a.the expected future return must be less than the most recent past realized return. b.the past realized return must be equal to the expected return during the same period. c.the expected future returns must be equal to the required return. d.the required return must equal the realized return in all periods. e.the expected return must be equal to both the required future return and the past realized return.
Answer:
c.the expected future returns must be equal to the required return.
Explanation:
When the stock is at equilibrium than the intrinsic value of the stock is equivalent to the market price of the stock that depicts that the expected returns which held in the future should be equivalent to the required return
Therefore the option c is correct
And, the other options that are mentioned in the question are incorrect
For a stock to be in equilibrium, the expected future returns must be equal to the required return.
The correct answer to this question is answer option c. At the equilibrium position there is a balance between the expected returns and the required returns.
At this point the intrinsic value is the same thing as the market value. Telling us that the rate the investor is expecting is the same as the actual required rate of return.

The Freeman Manufacturing Company is considering a new investment. Financial projections for the investment are tabulated below. The corporate tax rate is 34 percent. Assume all sales revenue is received in cash, all operating costs and income taxes are paid in cash, and all cash flows occur at the end of the year. All net working capital is recovered at the end of the project.
a. Compute the incremental net income of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. Compute the incremental cash flows of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.)
c. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 12 percent. What is the NPV of the project?
Complete question is given at the end of the question.
Answer with Explanation:
Requirement 1:
Net Income is an accounting profits which includes both cash flow items and non cash flow items. It can be calculated as under:
Net Income = (Sales - Cost - Depreciation) - (Income Before Tax * Tax Rate)
The computation is given in the Second excel sheet attached.
Requirement 2:
According to relevant costing principles if the cost is relevant then it must satisfy following conditions:
Must be cash flow in nature.Must be Future related (no past commitments).Differential or must be incrementalSo this means that the depreciation would not be taken into account as it is not a relevant cost and thus must not be included as an incremental cost.
Incremental Cash flow can be calculated using the following formula:
Incremental Cash Flow = Net Income + Depreciation (Removing its impact) - Working Capital Injection + Working Capital Withdrawal
The calculation for each year is shown in the second attachment.
Requirement 3:
The NPV can be calculated by discounting each year cash flow by the rate of return which in this case is 12%.
The formula for calculating the NPV is as under:
NPV = Investment in year zero - Net Cash Flow of Y1 / (1 + r)^1 - Net Cash Flow of Y2 / (1 + r)^2 - Net Cash Flow of Y3 / (1 + r)^3 - Net Cash Flow of Y4 / (1 + r)^4
The computation of NPV is given in the second attachment given below:

Answer:
April 29,
DR Accumulated Depreciation - Delivery Van $1,760
CR Cash $1,760
(To record repair of van)
April 29,
DR Delivery Van $52
CR Cash $52
(To record installation of GPS system in Van)
Explanation:
The transmission being faulty in the Van is part of the depreciation of the van and so when it is fixed, it reduces the depreciation of the van. The amount needs to be debited to the Accumulated Depreciation Account to signal that it is a reduction.
Installing a new GPS in a Van is an additional benefit to the van that will last for a period of more than a year hence it should be capitalised and added to the cost of the Delivery Van.
rojects A and B are mutually exclusive and have an initial cost of $78,000 each. Project A provides cash inflows of $32,000 a year for three years while Project B produces a cash inflow of $44,400 a year for two years. Which project(s) should be accepted if the discount rate is 10 percent
Answer:
Project A should be accepted.
Explanation:
The initial investment of project A = $78000
The initial investment of project B = $78000
The cash inflows of project A = $32000
The time period for project A = 3 years
The cash inflow of project B = $44400
The time period for project B = 2 years.
Interest rate (r ) = 10%
Now find the net present value of both project and then decide which one has to accept.
The net present value of project A:
[tex]=\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n})}{r} - \text{initial investment} \\= \frac{32000(1-(1+0.1)^{-3})}{0.1} - 78000 \\= 79579.26 – 78000 \\= $1579.26[/tex]
The net present value of project B:
[tex]=\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n})}{r} - \text{initial investment} \\= \frac{44400(1-(1+0.1)^{-2})}{0.1} - 78000 \\= - 942.14[/tex]
Project A should be accepted because project B has a negative net present value.
Johnson Trucking Company wants to determine a fuel surcharge to add to its customers' bills based on the number of miles driven to each area It wants to separate the fixed and variable portion of the truck's operating costs so it has a better idea of how distance affects these costs. Johnson Trucking Company has the following data available
Month Miles driven Total operating costs
January 16,200 22650
February 17000 23250
March 18400 25450
Apri 16500 22875
May 17400 23550
June 15300 21850
The variable cost per mile using the high-low method is:___________.
A. $1.16
B. $138
C. $1 66
D. $1.43
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $1.16 per mile
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
January 16,200 $22,650
February 17000 $23,250
March 18400 $25,450
Apri 16500 $22,875
May 17400 $23,550
June 15300 $21,850
To calculate the variable cost per mile under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (25,450 - 21,850) / (18,400 - 15,300)
Variable cost per unit= $1.16 per mile
Talk to a 55-year-old (or older) business professional nearing retirement. This person can be a family member, friend, or mentor. List and describe the savings, investments, and risk management strategies for this phase of life. Describe how financial planning has changed from the earlier phase of life.
Answer:
The financial planning will differ for the person according to their age. A person who is 50 years older would have money only from his savings. The 55 year old person is retired and would only have money available for living from the saving he had made while he was working. He will not have any other source of income.
Explanation:
The risk management officer should consider the investments by considering his available savings. He should also consider the money required for living as there is no other source of income. The risk appetite for such an old aged individual will be low. He must be risk averse in the situation of retirement. The financial planning strategies changes for the person over the different phases of life. When a person is young and starts the job at age of 25 he might take excessive risks for getting extra returns. He is young and energetic, has ability to work part time along with his routine job to earn extra money.
