the insured dies 6 months after the policy issue date upon death of the insured it is determined that the insured made a material misstatement on the application what is the most likely course of action for the insurer

Answers

Answer:

Rescind the policy

Explanation:

In this scenario the insuredad a misstatement on the application and dies after 6 months. To avoid any legal issues with the beneficiaries the best line of action of the insurer is to rescind the policy.

The reason for rescinding the policy should be stated as misstatement in the application.

Rescinded insurance policy will make it as if the agreement between the insurance company and policy makers was never made. Since the policy was not cancelled, the policy holder or his beneficiary will get back any premiums that have already been paid.

On the other hand if the policy were to be cancelled the only money returned to the policy holder will be the balance in the remaining portion of the term.

Answers

Answer:

A.7,650,000

B.2,677,500

C.17,000,000

Explanation:

DATA:

purchase cost = 42,500,000

Useful life = 5 years

Estimated useful life in miles = 5,000,000 miles

Salvage value = 4,250,000

Actual useful life in miles = 350,000miles

Solution

A. Depreciation (straight-line)= [tex]\frac{Cost-residualvalue}{Usefullife}[/tex]

   Depreciation( straight-line)= [tex]\frac{42,500,000-4,250,000}{5}[/tex]

   Depreciation( straight-line)= 7,650,000

B Depreciation (units of production)= (cost-Salvage value) x [tex]\frac{Actualunits}{Estimatedunits}[/tex]

  Depreciation (units of production)= (42,500,000-4,250,000)x[tex]\frac{350,000}{5,000,000}[/tex]

  Depreciation (units of production) = 2,677,500

C. Depreciation (Double declining) =  2 x cost x depreciation rate

   Depreciation (Double declining) = 2 x 42,500,000 x 0.2(w)

   Depreciation (Double declining) = 17,000,000

Working

Depreciation Rate = 1/Useful

Depeciation Rate = 1/ 05 = 0.2

An electric power plant uses solid waste for fuel in the production of electricity. the cost Y in dollars per hour to produce electricity is Y=11+0.4X+0.29X2, where X is in megawatts. Revenue in dollars per hour from the sale of electricity is 16X−0.2X2. Find the value of X that gives maximum profit. (Round to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.

Explanation:

Before answering the question, Y and Revenue (R) given in the question are first correctly restated as follows:

Cost = Y = 11 + 0.4X + 0.29X^2 .......................................... (1)

Revenue = R = 16X − 0.2X^2 .............................................. (2)

Differentiating each of equations (1) and (2) with respect to X to obtain marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR), we have:

dY/dX = MC = 0.4 + 0.58X .................................................. (4)

dR/dX = MR = 16 - 0.4X .......................................................  (5)

In production theory, profit is maximized when MR = MC. Therefore, we equate equations (4) and (5) and solve for X as follows:

0.4 + 0.58X = 16 - 0.4X

0.58X + 0.4X = 16 - 0.4

0.98X = 15.6

X = 15.6 / 0.98

X = 15.92

Therefore, the value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.

The bonds of CYTK, Inc. carry a 12% annual coupon, have a $1,000 face value, and mature in 5 years. Bonds of equivalent risk yield 9%. What is the market value of CYTK bonds

Answers

Answer:

The market value of CYTK bonds is $1,116.69.

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Annual coupon = $1000 × 12% = $120

Annual coupon discount factor based ordinary annuity = ((1-(1/(1 + r))^n)/r)

Where;

r = rate of return of equivalent bond = 9%, or 0.09

n = number of years to maturity = 5

Therefore, we have

Annual coupon discount factor = ((1-(1/(1.09))^5)/0.09) = 3.88965126335172

PV of coupon = $120 × 3.88965126335172 = $466.76

PV of the face value of the bond = Face value ÷ (1 + r)^n = 1,000 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^5 = $649.93

Therefore, we have:

Market value of CYTK bonds = PV of coupon + PV of the face value of the bond = $466.76 + $649.93 = $1,116.69

Therefore, the market value of CYTK bonds is $1,116.69.

B. February 12.

Explanation:

The most important dates for dividends at Georia are the declaration date, The holder-of-record date, and the payment date.  The declaration date is the date that the company's directors decide to announce that dividend will be paid to stockholders of record.   The holder-of-record date is the date that a stockholders will know if he or she will receive dividend for that period, because only holders of record are paid dividends.  If a stockholder's share is not registered before that date, then the stockholder is not entitled to dividends.  The last date is, of course, the payment date.  However, in accounting for the dividend transaction, only two dates are important: the declaration date and the payment date.

U.S. GAAP offers little guidance about the presentation order of expenses. Accounting for basic inventory transactions is the same under the two systems. Neither system requires separate disclosure of items when their size, nature, or frequency are important. Neither system defines operating income.Incorrect

Answers

Answer:

Neither system requires separate disclosure of items when their size, nature, or frequency are important.

Explanation:

IFRS is an acronym for International Financial Reporting Standards, it comprises of a set of accounting standards or rules issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that statement of income, when reported by accountants is consistent, transparent and comparable globally.

On the other hand, GAAP is an acronym for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, it comprises of the accounting standard, procedures and principles used by public institutions in the United States of America. The U.S GAAP is issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Generally, there are some similarities in the operations of both governmental agencies and these are;

1. The closing process for merchandisers is the same under both systems.

2. U.S. GAAP offers little guidance about the presentation order of expenses.

3. Accounting for basic inventory transactions is the same under the two systems.

4. Neither system defines operating income.

However, the statement that neither system requires separate disclosure of items when their size, nature, or frequency are important is incorrect or false because all disclosure of items are presented together.

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

Answers

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%

The fund earned 8% in 1999 using the dollar-weighted method. Determine then date corresponding to time K
(a) April 1 (b) May 1 (c) July 1 (d) Sept. 1 (e) Oct. 1
Answer:________

Answers

Answer:

k = April 1 ( A )

Explanation:

Given data :

net investment income : $9200

Beginning balance = $100000

ending balance = $129200

deposit made

no withdrawals

interest earned = 8%

net investment ( $9200) = [ending balance - (starting balance + deposits/withdrawals )]

9200 = 129200 - 100000 - deposits

deposit = 129200 -100000 - 9200 = 20000

8% interest was earned on starting balance

= 8% of $100000 = $8000

interest earned on the deposit made = net income - interest earned on beginning balance = 9200 - 8000 = $1200

using the dollar-weighted method

assuming the deposit was made for Y months

interest earned on deposit = deposit * interest rate * (y/12)

                    1200 = 20000 * 8% * ( y /12 )

                     hence ( y/12) =  0.75 hence y = 9 months from December 31

The remaining accounts receivable on January 31 are not past due, and 5% of these accounts are estimated to be uncollectible. (Hint: Use the January 31 accounts receivable balance calculated in the general ledger.) Record bad debts at the end of January.

Answers

Answer:

Bad debt expense = $4,690

Explanation:

Entry                                                 DEBIT       CREDIT

Bad debt Expense                         $4,690

Allowance for doubtful debt                           $4,690

In Order to record bad debt expense, we need to go through some minor workings.

Workings

Receivables on January 31  past due =  $14,000 x 30% = $4,200

Receivable not past due = ($14,000 x 70%) x5% = $490

Bad debt expense = Receivables on January 31  past due + Receivable not past due

Bad debt expense = $4,200 + $490

Bad debt expense = $4,690

Because Toyota's investment eventually increases the level of R&D spending for his given level of sales revenue what would the effect on Toyota's return on invested capital (ROIC)?

Answers

Available Options Are:

a. Increasing ROIC by increasing return on sales

b. Decreasing ROIC by increasing return on sales

c. Decreasing ROIC by decreasing return on sales

d. Increasing ROIC by decreasing return on sales

Answer:

Option C. Decreasing ROIC by decreasing return on sales

Explanation:

The return on sales would be reduced as the research expenses have increased substantially. The implications of increased research expenses on the ROIC can be understood by analyzing the ROIC formula which is given as under:

ROCI  =  Operating Income (1 - Tax Rate) / Book Value of Invested Capital

As revenue expenditure (Research and Development expenses) of the company has increased, this would decrease the operating income of the company which means that the numenator would be decreased and as a result the ROCI would decrease.

Muriel is giving a speech to the community's business leaders. She begins by stating, "Our community has been strong in the face of adversity, but we now face the most serious challenge in years. The tax base is shrinking and will be 30 percent smaller in three years." What is she doing

Answers

Answer:

Setting the mood and tone of her speech.      

Explanation:

Muriel's approach to her speech prepares the mind of her listeners who are made up of business leaders who are known to usually have negative views about increasing taxes.

Thus, Muriel may be able to reach the emotions of her listeners towards accepting her point of view. This is evident by the the statement "Our community has been strong in the face of adversity, but we now face the most serious challenge in years", in which it likens the decreasing tax revenues to an adversity that should be overcomed; thus employing more support.

Building Supplies is considering a merger with Tools and More. Building's total operating costs of producing services are $4 million for a sales volume of $20 million. Tools' total operating costs of producing services are $1 million for a sales volume of $5 million. Suppose that synergies in the production process result in a cost of production for the merged firms totalling $4.8 million with total sales remaining unchanged. Calculate the total average cost for the merged firm.

Answers

Answer:

We generally calculate total average cost by dividing total cost / total output units.

In this case, we are not given the output units, but instead we are given the output value, so we should find a percentage from total revenue.

total costs = $4,800,000

total revenue = $20,000,000 + $5,000,000 = $25,000,000

average total cost = ($4,800,000 / $25,000,000) x 100 = 19.2%

This means that for every $100 of revenue, the merged company will spend $19.20.

C. If Moody uses a markup percentage of 120% of its total manufacturing cost, then what selling price per unit would it have established for Job 400?

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machine-hours required to support estimated production 155,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 653,000

Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.70

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (653,000/155,000) + 4.7

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $8.91 per machine hour

Job 400:

Direct materials $ 390

Direct labor cost $ 220

Machine-hours used 37

Total cost= 390 + 220 + 37*8.91

Total cost= $939.67

Unitary cost= 939.67/60= $15.62

Finally, the selling price for Job 400:

Selling price per unit= 15.62*1.2= $18.74

Periodic interest rates. You have a savings account in which you leave the funds for one year without adding to or withdrawing from the account. Which would you rather​ have: a daily compounded rate of 0.050​%, a weekly compounded rate of 0.355​%, a monthly compounded rate of 1.15​%, a quarterly compounded rater of 4.25​%, a semiannually compounded rate of 7.5​%, or an annually compounded rate of 18​%? What is the effective annual rate​ (EAR) of a daily compounded rate of 0.050​%?

Answers

Answer:

Choose an annually compounded rate of 18​%

The effective annual rate​ (EAR) of a daily compounded rate of 0.050​% is 0.05001%.

Explanation:

We need to find the effective annual rate of interest for each nominal interest and compare this for the different alternatives.

The effective annual rate of interest is the annual rate that if compounded once a year would give us the same result as the same result as the interest per period compounded a number of times a year.

Conversion of Nominal to Effective Interest Rate.

1. A daily compounded rate of 0.050​%

Use a financial calculator to enter the data

P/YR = 365

Nominal interest = 0.050​%

Thus Effective Interest rate = ?  0.05001%

2. A weekly compounded rate of 0.355​%

Use a financial calculator to enter the data

P/YR = 52

Nominal interest = 0.355​%

Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 0.3556 %

3. A monthly compounded rate of 1.15​%

Use a financial calculator to enter the data

P/YR = 12

Nominal interest = 1.15​%

Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 1.1561%

4. A quarterly compounded rater of 4.25​%

Use a financial calculator to enter the data

P/YR = 4

Nominal interest = 4.25​%

Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 4,32%

5. A semiannually compounded rate of 7.5​%

Use a financial calculator to enter the data

P/YR = 2

Nominal interest = 7.5​%

Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 7.64%

6. an annually compounded rate of 18​%

Use a financial calculator to enter the data

P/YR = 1

Nominal interest = 18​%

Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 18​%

Conclusion :

Choose the  option giving the HIGHEST effective annual rate.

Thu, I would rather have an annually compounded rate of 18​%.

Generic Inc. issued bonds in 1988 that will mature 16 years from the date of issue. The bond pays a 14.375 percent coupon and the interest is paid semiannually. Its current price is $1,508.72. What is the effective annual yield on the bonds?

Answers

Answer:

8.93%

Explanation:

If we want to determine the effective annual yield on the bonds we must calculate the yield to maturity of the bonds:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

YTM = {71.875 + [($1,000 - $1,508.72)/32]}/ [($1,000 + $1,508.72)/2]

YTM = 55.9775 / 1,254.36 = 0.04463 x 2 semiannual coupons = 8.93%

Answers

Answer:

e. Debit Accounts Receivable $810,000; credit Sales $810,000; debit Cost of Goods Sold $444,000; credit Finished Goods Inventory $444,000.

Explanation:

During the sale for the period, the Cost of Sales  of $444,000 has to be removed from the Finished Goods Inventory as :

Cost of Goods Sold $444,000 (debit)

Finished Goods Inventory $444,000 (credit)

At the Same time, the Sales Revenue and Accounts Receivable have to be recognized at $810,000 as

Accounts Receivable $810,000 (debit)

Sales Revenue $810,000 (credit)

The combined effect gives us option e : Debit Accounts Receivable $810,000; credit Sales $810,000; debit Cost of Goods Sold $444,000; credit Finished Goods Inventory $444,000.

The journal entry to record June production activities for direct material usage is Debit Accounts Receivable $810,000; credit Sales $810,000; debit Cost of Goods Sold $444,000; credit Finished Goods Inventory $444,000. Thus, the appropriate answer choice is option (e).

Merchandise refers to as finished goods and products that have been purchased and are prepared for sale.

During the sale for the period, the Cost of Sales of $444,000 has to be removed from the Finished Goods Inventory as :

Cost of Goods Sold $444,000 (debit)

Finished Goods Inventory $444,000 (credit)

At the Same time, the Sales Revenue and Accounts Receivable have to be recognized at $810,000 as:

Accounts Receivable $810,000 (debit)

Sales Revenue $810,000 (credit)

Therefore, the combined effect gives us option e.
