Answer:
$24
Explanation:
Given the following variables:
3M stands for $3,000 face amount of bonds (M is Latin for $1,000).
The day count is = 32 days interest
The bonds = 3 bonds
The interest rate = $90
The day basis = 360 days. (Considering that each month has 30 days)
Hence, using the formula
Accrued Interest = [Interest Rate X (Time Period / 365)] X Loan Amount
= 9% x (32 days / 360) x $3000
= $23.9999997 ≈ $24.
Therefore the final answer for accrued interest the customer will be required to pay seller = $24.
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
Horizon Financial Inc. was organized on February 28. Projected selling and administrative expenses for each of the first three months of operations are as follows: March $173,900 April 163,500 May 148,800 Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes represent $37,000 of the estimated monthly expenses. The annual insurance premium was paid on February 28, and property taxes for the year will be paid in June. 70% of the remainder of the expenses are expected to be paid in the month in which they are incurred, with the balance to be paid in the following month. Required:Prepare a schedule of cash payments for selling and administrative expenses for March, April, and May. Horizon Financial Inc.
Answer:
Total Cash Payments are as follows:
For March = $95,830
For April = $129,620
For May = $116,210
Explanation:
Note: See the attached Excel file for the schedule of cash payments
The expenses paid in each month can be calculated as follows:
a. March Expenses
Paid in March = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for March - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for March) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($173,900 - $37,000) * 70% = $95,830
Paid in April = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for March - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for March) * Percentage of balance paid = ($173,900 - $37,000) * (100% - 70%) = $41,070
b. April Expenses
Paid in April = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for April - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for April) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($163,500 - $37,000) * 70% = $88,550
Paid in May = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for April - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for April) * Percentage of balance paid = ($173,900 - $37,000) * (100% - 70%) = $37,950
c. May Expenses
Paid in May = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for May - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for May) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($148,800 - $37,000) * 70% = $78,260
Determine how many of each plant stand Bobby needs to sell to breakeven. Begin by computing the weighted-average contribution margin per unit. First identify the formula labels, then complete the calculations step by step.
Answer:
For twig stands= 24 units.
For oak stand = 6 units.
Explanation:
From the question above we are given that the Sale price for Twig and Oak plant stand are 15.00 and 42.00. We are also given that the Variable cost for Twig and Oak plant stand are 2.00 and 19.00 per unit. Thus, the value for the Contribution Margin per unit can be calculated by just subtracting Variable cost for Twig and Oak plant stand from Sale price for Twig and Oak plant stand, that is;
Contribution Margin per unit = (Sale price for Twig and Oak plant) - (Variable cost for Twig and Oak plant stand).
Contribution Margin per unit for Twig = 15.00 - 2.00 = 13.00 and the Contribution Margin per unit for oak = 42.00 - 19.00 = 23.00.
From the question, we are given that the Sales mix in units is 4(twig) and 1(oak) = 4 + 1 = 5.
Thus, the contribution margin for twig = sales mix for twig × Contribution Margin per unit for Twig = 4 × 13 = 52.
Also, the contribution margin for oak = sales mix for oak × Contribution Margin per unit for oak = 1 × 23 = 23.
Total = 52 + 23 = 75.
Hence, the Weighted Average Contribution per unit = 75 / 5 = 15.
Total Break even Sales = 450/15 = 30 units.
Thus, for twig stand; 30 × 4/5 = 24 units.
For oak = 30 × 1/5 = 6 units.

You purchased a bond 69 days ago for $891.26. You received an interest payment of $24.00 56 days ago. Today the bond’s price is $884.89. What is the holding period return (HPR) on the bond as of today?
Answer:
1.97%
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the holding period return is:
HPR=(Income generated+(ending value-initial value)/Initial value)*100
Income generated= $24
Ending value= $884.89
Initial value= $891.26
HPR=(24+(884.89-891.26)/891.26)*100
HPR=(24+(-6.37)/891.26)*100
HPR=(17.63/891.26)*100
HPR=0.0197*100
HPR= 1.97%
According to this, the holding period return (HPR) on the bond as of today is 1.97%.
Which statement best reflects the Fed's approach to expansionary monetary policy before the mortgage debt crisis
Complete Question:
Which statement best reflects the Fed's approach to expansionary monetary policy before the mortgage debt crisis? Multiple Choice The Fed would announce a lower target for the federal funds rate, then increase the supply of reserves through a balanced combination of the monetary policy tools. The Fed would quietly begin using open-market operations to increase the supply of reserves, with secrecy critical to not alarming securities markets The Fed would announce a lower target for the federal funds rate, then rely primarily on open market operations to increase the supply of reserves The Fed would itself lower the federal funds rate and then use a varied combination of monetary policy tools to increase the supply of reserves
Answer:
The Fed would announce a lower target for the federal funds rate, then increase the supply of reserves through a balanced combination of the monetary policy tools.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve achieves expansionary monetary policy by announcing lower targets for the federal funds rate, increasing the supply of reserves using a mix of monetary policy tools, including the discount rate, reserve requirements, open market operations, and interest on reserves The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which banks with excess reserves lend to other banks in need. By lowering this rate, many banks are encouraged to borrow. This monetary expansion increases the supply of money in the economy which leads to increased productivity, more employment, etc.
Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $70,000 or $200,000 with equal probabilities of .5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 6% per year. a. If you require a risk premium of 8%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?
Answer:
$118,421
Explanation:
first we must calculate the expected value of the risky portfolio = ($70,000 x 0.5) + ($200,000 x 0.5) = $135,000
since your risk premium is 8% and the risk free rate is 6%m then you should discount the expected value by 8% + 6% = 14% to determine its current market price
= $135,000 / (1 + 14%) = $118,421
On January 1, you sold short one round lot (that is, 100 shares) of Four Sisters stock at $21 per share. On March 1, a dividend of $2 per share was paid. On April 1, you covered the short sale by buying the stock at a price of $15 per share. You paid 50 cents per share in commissions for each transaction. What is the value of your account on April 1?
Answer:
The value of your account on April 1 is $300
Explanation:
Proceed from short sales
Sales proceed = $2,100 ($21 * 100 shares)
Less Commission= $50 ($0.50 * 100 shares)
Proceeds = $2,050
Dividend payment
= 100 shares * $2
=$200
Total Cost of buy back
Buy back= $1,500 ($15 * 100 shares)
Add commission= $50 ($0.50 * 100 shares)
Total cost = $1,550
Value of Account on April 1
Proceed = $2,050
Less Dividend payment = $200
Less Total cost of buy back= $1,550
Value of Account = $300
Therefore, the value of your account on April 1 is $300

Q 9.26: Crawford Trucking plans to dispose of two trucks in 2018. They sell the first truck on January 2 and the second truck on July 9. If the end of their fiscal year is December 31, how will the calculation of book value differ for these two vehicles
Answer:
Crawford Trucking
Calculation of book value for disposal of two vehicles:
a) The Truck sold on January 2 would not have depreciation expenses computed for it. The book value on January 1 would be the same on January 2. It is not practical to compute depreciation expense for 1 day.
b) The Truck sold on July 9 would have depreciation computed for the year 2018 pro rated for six months. The book value would be less than the Truck sold on January 2.
Explanation:
Depreciation expense may be pro rated depending on the prevailing circumstances. This becomes necessary because the sold unit may not be fully utilized for the period under review. Under the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles, it is imperative to match revenue to the period they were incurred.
At the beginning of year 1, Looby Corp. purchases equipment for $100,000. The equipment has a residual value of $20,000 and an expected useful life of 10 years. What is accumulated depreciation at the end of year 2 using straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Accumulated Depreciation at the end of year = $16,000
Explanation:
Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.
An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:
Annual depreciation:
= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life
Cost - 100,000
Residual value = 20,000
Estimated useful life = 10 years
Annual depreciation = (100,000- 20,000)/10 =8,000
Annual depreciation = 8,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = Annual depreciation× number of years
= 8,000× 2 = 16,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = $16,000
Consider Figure 9.2 on page 205 of our textbook. Suppose P0 is $10 and P1 is $11. Suppose a new firm with the same LRAC curve as the incumbent tries to break into the market by selling 4,000 units of output. Estimate from the graph what the new firm's average cost of producing output would be. If the incumbent continues to produce 6,000 units, how much output would be supplied to the market by the two firms? Estimate what would happen to the market price as a result of the supply of both the incumbent firm and the new entrant. Approximately how much profit would each firm earn ?
Answer:
The 10,000 units of output that will be supplied by the two firms to the market.
Profit that each firm would earn will be higher than previous.
Explanation:
The firm selling 4,000 units at the price of $10 per unit. If the output is increased to 6,000 units the price will increase to $11 per unit. If the new 6,000 units are produced along with the previous 4,000 units then the total output supplied by the two firms will be 10,000 units (6,000 + 4,000). The supply of goods in the market will increase so price will fall and the revenue for the firms will decline but they can benefit with sales volume and their profit can increase.
The 10,000 units of output will be supplied by the two firms to the market.
The profit that each firm would earn will be higher than the previous.
Calculation of the number of units and profits:Here the firm sells 4,000 units at the price of $10 per unit. And, in the case when the output is increased to 6,000 units the price will increase to $11 per unit.
And, In the case when the new 6,000 units are produced along with the previous 4,000 units so the total output supplied by the two firms will be 10,000 units.
The supply of goods in the market should increase due to which the price will fall and the revenue for the firms will decline however they can benefit with sales volume and their profit can increase.

Calculate the forecasted cost at completion if the total budgeted cost is $15,000, the cumulative actual cost is $10,000, and the cumulative earned value is $12,000.
Answer:
$13,000
Explanation:
The total budgeted cost is $15,000
The cumulative actual cost is $10,000
The cumulative earned value is $12,000
Therefore, the forecasted cost at completion can be calculated as follows
= Cumulative actual cost + ( Budgeted cost-Cumulative earned value)
= $10,000 + ($15,000-$12,000)
= $10,000 + $3,000
= $13,000
Hence the forecasted cost at completion is $13,000
If Highway 55 Studios can reduce fixed expenses by , by how much can variable expenses per unit increase and still allow the company to maintain the original break even sales in units
Answer:
$2.25
Explanation:
Please check the attached image for the full question used in answering this question
Breakeven sales is the quantity sold at which net income is equal to zero.
Breakeven sales = fixed cost / (price per unit - variable cost per unit )
$1,215,000 / ($80 - $35) = 27,000
If Highway 55 Studios can reduce fixed expenses by $60,750, variable cost =
27,000 = ($1,215,000 - $60,750) / ($80 - V)
27,000 = 1,154,250 / ($80 - V)
V = $37.25
Variable cost would increase by : $37.25 - $35 = 2.25

K425 M67
Unit product cost $ $
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
We were provided with the activity rates. To calculate the total cost, first, we need to allocate overhead to both product lines:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Product K425:
Allocated MOH= (6*80) + (4*100) + (50*1) + (90*1) + (14*1) + (9*80)
Allocated MOH= $1,754
Product M67:
Allocated MOH= (6*500) + (4*1,500) + (50*4) + (90*4) + (14*10) + (9*500)
Allocated MOH= $14,200
Now, we can calculate the unitary cost:
Product K425:
Unitary cost= 13 + 5.6 + (1,754/200)
Unitary cost= $27.37
Product M67:
Unitary cost= 56 + 3.5 + (14,200/2,000)
Unitary cost= $66.6
Toyota will bring hybrid electric automobiles to market next year priced at $27 comma 000 (this includes a $6 comma 750 federal tax credit). At $1.89 per gallon of gasoline, it will take 11 years to recoup the difference in price between a base model Toyota Camry and its four-cylinder gasoline-only counterpart. The price difference is $4 comma 180. If the hybrid vehicle is driven for 15 years, what is the internal rate of return on the extra investment in the hybrid?
Answer:
4.15%
Explanation:
In order to determine the annual saving we must divide the extra cost of the hybrid by the amount of years it takes to recoup our investment.
annual savings = $4,180 / 11 years = $380 per year

On January 1, 20X6, Pumpkin Corporation acquired 70 percent of Spice Company's common stock for $210,000 cash. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at that date was determined to be $90,000. Data from the balance sheets of the two companies included the following amounts as of the date of acquisition:______.
Pumpkin Spice Cash 50,000 15,000 Accounts Receivable 70,000 25,000 Inventory 30,000 20,000 Land 150,000 80,000 Buildings and Equipment 250,000 200,000 Less: Accumulated Depreciation -70,000 -20,000 Investment in Spice Co. 210,000 Total Assets 690,000 320,000 Accounts Payable 40,000 10,000 Bonds Payable 150,000 40,000 Common Stock 300,000 90,000 Retained Earnings 200,000 180,000 Total Liabilities and Equity 690,000 320,000 At the date of the business combination, the book values of Spice's assets and liabilities approximated fair value except for inventory, which had a fair value of $30,000, and land, which had a fair value of $95,000. 1. what amount of total inventory will be reported in the consolidated balance sheet prepared immediately after the business combination?
Answer:
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000
Explanation:
In the consolidated balance sheet, we record the sum of both parent and subsidiary assets. Here pumpkin and spice both have an inventory of $30,000.
Total inventory in consolidated balance = Pimpkin's Inventory + fair value of Spice's inventory
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $30,000 + $30,000
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000
Make a list of at least three items that are important to double check before submitting a loan application to underwriting. List at least two things you would be sure to tell a borrower in preparation for closing. List at least three calculations that are typically used during the course of a mortgage loan transaction.
Answer:
Please see answers below.
Explanation:
A. Three important Items to double check before submitting a loan application to underwriting.
• Completeness of data : One has to be sure that all important details are captured hence none is left out. It means that there are no missing information on the application.
• Calculations performed accurately: This means that calculations such as borrower's income, qualifying ratios are calculated accurately and also double checked for the purpose of the loan underwriting.
• Documentations required by the loan programme. All Documentations required by the loan programme must be double checked before submitting a loan application to underwriting.
B. List at least two things you would be sure to tell a borrower in preparation for closing
• I will seek clarity in terms of the money borrower would be bringing to the closing table.
• The date,time,venue of closing are essential for the closing hence will be communicated to the borrower. Also, there are no right or wrong answers that may be asked or given by the borrower during the closing.
C. List at least three calculations that are typically used during the course of mortgage loan transaction.
• Income calculation
• Front end and back end ratio (DTI ratio)
• Monthly payment.
Like a good economist, you calculated the opportunity cost of getting your college degree. Suppose that at your university, you will pay $10,000 each year for tuition, $2,500 each year for textbooks, and $12,000 per year for room and board. Before you left for college, your boss at your high-school job offered you a job paying $20,000 per year.
Assume that if you decided not to go to college, your parents would not let you live at home.
What is your opportunity cost for four years of college? $_______
Answer:
$130,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the opportunity cost for four years of college
The first step is to calculate for the cost of education per year
Using this formula
Cost of education per year =Tuition+Text book +Room and board
Let plug in the formula
Cost of education per year =$10,000+$2,500+$12,000
=$24,500
Second step is to calculate the return in a situation were we decided not to go to college
$20,000-$12,000=$8,000
The last step is to calculate for the opportunity cost for 4 years of college:
Using this formula
Opportunity cost =Cost of education per year+ Return * Numbers of year
Where,
Cost of education per year=$24,500
Return =$8,000
Numbers of years =4
Let plug in the Formula
Opportunity cost =($24,500+$8,000)*4
Opportunity cost =$32,500*4
Opportunity cost =$130,000
Therefore the opportunity cost for four years of college will be $130,000
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.
Consider the following information for Maynor Company, which uses a periodic inventory system:
Transaction Units Unit Cost Total Cost
January1 Beginning Inventory 34 $84 $2,856
March 28 Purchase 44 90 3,960
August 22 Purchase 68 94 6,392
October 14 Purchase 73 100 7,300
Goods Available for Sale 219 $20,508
The company sold 73 units on May 1 and 68 units on October 28.
Required:
Calculate the company's ending inventory and cost of goods sold using the each of following inventory costing methods.
A. FIFO
B. LIFO
C. Weighted Average.
Answer:
A. FIFO - 78 units and $7,770 and Cost of Goods Sold $12,738
B. LIFO - Inventory Valuation $7,312 and Cost of Goods Sold $13,196
C. Weighted Average - inventory Valuation $7,304 and Cost of Goods Sold $13,204
Explanation:
Detailed calculation as under:
A. FIFO
First 73 Units are sold from the inventory on May 1. Therefore, we first take the beginning inventory units and then we take the next in line purchases made during the period. In this case the first 34 units are completely taken and then out of the 44 units only 39 units are taken.
Next 68 units are sold from the inventory on October 28. Now we will take the remainder 5 units bought on March 28 (which are not yet sold). Then we take 63 units out of the 68 units purchased on August 22.
The company's ending inventory on FIFO Basis is remaining 5 units bought on 22 August and 73 units bought on 14 October. There total value is (5 x 94) + (73 x 100) = $7,770
Cost of Goods Sold = Total Goods Cost available for sale - Inventory ending valuation
$12,738 = $20,508 - $7,770
B. LIFO
First 73 Units are sold from the inventory on May 1. Therefore, we first take the units purchased on 28 March and then we take the beginning inventory. In this case the first 44 units are completely taken and then out of the 34 units only 29 units are taken.
Next 68 units are sold from the inventory on October 28. Now we will take the units bought on 14 October i.e. 68 units out of the 73 units bought.
The company's ending inventory on LIFO Basis is remaining 5 units in the beginning inventory, remaining 5 units bought on 14 October and 68 units bought on 22 August. There total value is (5 x 84) + (5 x 100) + (68 x 94) = &7,312
Cost of Goods Sold = Total Goods Cost available for sale - Inventory ending valuation
$13,196 = $20,508 - $7,312
C. Weighted Average
In order to calculate Weighted average cost method we divide the total cost of inventory (Beginning and Purchased) with the total units, this yields average cost per unit. Then we multiple the average cost per unit with the units remaining after sales. As shown below:
$20,508 / 219 = $93.64 per unit
$93.64 x 78 units = $7,304
Deferred expenses that benefit a relatively short period of time are listed on the balance sheet as current assets. a. True b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The deferred expense is an expense that is not realized in the near future. In this the one account is debited the other account is credited. Like prepaid insurance account is debited and the cash is credited. Both the accounts are current assets
Therefore in the given case, the benefit that arises for a short period of time is listed on the current asset side of the balance sheet
Hence, the given statement is true
As companies started to seek scale economies and efficiency, their goal was to take advantage of ____________ in functional areas? a. ABC classification b. Deep skills c. Activity Based Costing d. Common costs e. Both b & d f. All of the above
Answer: e. Both b & d
Explanation:
Economies and Efficiency can be achieved by managing costs better. This can be done by training employees more so that they may use deep skills gained to be able to keep costs low by being more efficient on the job.
A good place to reduce costs would be the common costs. The business can target these costs by optimising them which means to reduce costs while still maximizing output and value. Reducing the costs here would lead to better efficiency.
