Exhibit 35-4 Refer to Exhibit 35-4. Under a fixed exchange rate system, at the exchange rate of E 3, the dollar is __________ and there is a __________.
Please find diagram for question attached
Question options:
a.
overvalued; surplus of dollars
b.
undervalued; shortage of pesos
c.
overvalued; shortage of dollars
d.
undervalued; surplus of pesos
Answer:
Overvalued and there is a shortage of dollars
Explanation:
An increase in dollar price to buy peso means that dollar here is overvalued as it is above the equilibrium price(E2),and therefore it would be expensive to buy goods that are sold for a certain amount of dollars or in dollar currency with the Mexican pesos. This is because the fixed exchange rate system tries to ensure smooth and inexpensive trade between countries as it has to do with currency trading barriers by pegging a currency to another(in this case dollars) but here the dollar price increase for peso makes it more expensive to buy dollar products with pesos. Also this is caused here by the shortage of dollars.
Company purchased equipment at a cost of $120,000 that has a depreciable cost of $90,000 and an estimated useful life of 3 years or 30,000 hours. Using straight-line depreciation, calculate depreciation expense for the second year.
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the second year using the straight line method is shown below:
As we know that
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($90,000) ÷ (3 years)
= $30,000
In this method, the depreciation is the same for all the remaining useful life
Hence, the second year depreciation expense is $30,000
When a company constructs a building, the cost of the building includes materials and labor but not design fees, building permits, or insurance during construction.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Construction costs can be defined as the overall costs associated with the development of a built asset, project or property. The construction costs is classified into two (2) main categories and these are;
1. Operational costs: these include the costs on daily basis during the construction process such as rent, wages, sales, utility bills, maintenance and repair fees etc.
2. Capital costs: these include the costs incurred in the acquisition of the property such as commissions, insurance, property acquisition, materials, inflation, fittings, equipment, labor etc.
Hence, when a company constructs a building, the cost of the building includes materials and labor as well as the design fees, building permits, or insurance during construction.
Messaging systems range from semi-public systems such as standard text messaging on mobile phones, to private systems that are closed to anyone outside of invited members.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Messaging systems range from semi-public systems such as standard text messaging on mobile phones, to private systems that are closed to anyone outside of invited members.
A messaging system can be defined as an electronic device which enables users to send text messages to one or more users depending on the configuration and it ranges from semi-public systems to private systems.
In a semi-public messaging system, messages can be sent between users with little or no restriction to who can send or receive these messages. An example is sending short standard text on mobile phones.
On the other hand, a private messaging system is a type of system that denies access to individuals outside of the group, only invited members are able to send and receive messages.
True or False: All other things being equal, firms exhibiting high degrees of operating leverage exhibit lower levels of business risk. This statement is: True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Operating Leverage is used to measure how much a change in sales translates to a change in income. In general, a higher operating leverage means that a small change in sales leads to a higher change in income. This is quite risky because it shows that even a small error when forecasting sales can lead to a larger error in the cash flow that will be expected from the sales. This makes forecasting harder and increases business risk.
Logan and Johnathan exchange land, and the exchange qualifies as like kind under § 1031. Because Logan's land (adjusted basis of $118,000) is worth $141,600 and Johnathan's land has a fair market value of $112,100, Johnathan also gives Logan cash of $29,500. a. Logan's recognized gain is $ . b. Assume that Johnathan's land is worth $127,440 and he gives Logan $14,160 cash. Logan's recognized gain is $ .
Answer:
A. 23,600
B. 14,160
Explanation:
land adjusted basis = $118,000
land worth = $141,600
fair market value of land = $112,100
Requirement A
Amount realized = Fair value + cash received
Amount realized = 112,100 + 29,500
Amount realized = 141,600
Less: adjusted basis = 118,000
Realized gain = 23,600
Note: Recognized gain is lower of cash received and realized gain
In this case, realized gain is lower so,
Logan's Recognized gain = 23,600
Requirement B
Amount realized = Fair value + cash received
Amount realized = 127,440 + 14,160
Amount realized = 141,600
less adjusted basis = 118,000
Realized gain = 23,600
Note: Recognized gain is lower of cash received and realized gain
In this case, cash received is lower So,
Logan's Recognized gain = 14,160
The desired reserve ratio is 3 percent. Robert deposits $3,000 in Bank America. Bank America keeps its minimum desired reserves and lends the excess to Fredrica. How much does Bank America lend to Fredrica?
Answer: $2,910
Explanation:
Bank America is required by law to keep 3% of all deposits as reserves and they can lend the rest which they did to Fredrica.
The amount they lent to Fredrica therefore is;
= 3,000 (1 - 3%)
= 3,000 * 97%
= $2,910
Your company has assigned one of its vice presidents to function as your project sponsor. Unfortunately, your sponsor refuses to make any critical decisions, always "passing the buck" back to you. What should you do

Explanation:
Coronado, Inc. had net sales in 2017 of $1,493,700. At December 31, 2017, before adjusting entries, the balances in selected accounts were Accounts Receivable $329,800 debit, and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $4,060 credit. If Coronado estimates that 9% of its receivables will prove to be uncollectible. Prepare the December 31, 2017, journal entry to record bad debt expense.
Answer:
December 31,
DR Bad Debt Expense $25,622
CR Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $25,622
Explanation:
The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts helps provide a sort of cushion for the business by accounting for potential bad debts for the business so that if bad debts occur, they are taken from this account and not the Receivables account.
Coronado estimates that 9% of receivables will be uncollectible so;
= 9% * 329,800
= $29,682
However, $4,060 is already in the account so the new balance that should be brought into the account to ensure that it totals $29,682 is;
= 29,682 - 4,060
= $25,622
3. As the crisis in Venezuela deepened in late 2002 and early 2003, on January of 2003 the VEF was trading VEF1400/$. By February 1, it was trading at VEF1950/$ and was projected to be trade at 40% lower to the dollar by June 2003. a) What was the percentage change in January
Answer: 39.29%
Explanation:
For us to calculate the percentage change, we have to deduct the trading for VEF in January from the trading for VEF in February and then divide by VEF trading in January. This will be:
= (1950 - 1400)/1950
= 550/1400
= 0.3929
= 39.29%
The percentage change in January is 39.29%.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 per year.
a. This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to _ and the level of investment spending to _.
b. An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to _______ and the level of investment to ________.
c. Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
This change in spending causes the government to run a budget __________ which ________ national saving. This causes the interest rate to ________ and the level of investment spending to _______
Answer:
a. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 per year.
This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to _decrease and the level of investment spending to increase_.
b. An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to ___increase____ and the level of investment to ___decrease_____.
c. Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
This change in spending causes the government to run a budget ___surplus_______ which ___increases_____ national saving. This causes the interest rate to ___decrease_____ and the level of investment spending to __increase_____
Explanation:
Interest rate decreases with increased savings and this results to increased investment as funds are available at affordable costs. The situation is reversed when the savings are decreased, since the interest rate will increase as there are less savings for investment purposes.
There is a continuous interaction between taxation, savings, government spending, inflation, and investment versus interest rates. This means that interest rates also reflect these factors put together. This why in both fiscal and monetary policies, governments try to strike some balance in order to direct the economy towards desired targets. For example, when the government wants to stimulate the economy, it works to reduce interest rates in order to encourage investments, but this also lowers the propensity to save and encourages the propensity to spend, which trigger inflation and increases interest rate as an aftermath. And this seems to be an endless vicious or virtuous circle, depending on what is achieved by the monetary and fiscal measures in operation.

The selling price of a particular product is $6 per unit, fixed costs total $18,000 , and the breakeven sales in dollars is $24,000 . What would be the variable expense per unit?
Answer:
$1.5= unitary variable cost
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The selling price of a particular product is $6 per unit, fixed costs total $18,000, and the breakeven sales in dollars is $24,000
To calculate the unitary variable cost, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 24,000/6= 4,000
4,000= 18,000/ (6 - unitary variable cost)
24,000 - 4,000unitary variable cost = 18,000
6,000 = 4,000unitary variable cost
1.5= unitary variable cost

A municipal revenue bond trust indenture includes an "additional bonds test" covenant. This prohibits the issuer from doing all the following EXCEPT:_________.
A. issuing parity bonds unless the facility's revenues are sufficient to pay for existing and proposed debt
B. issuing senior lien bonds unless the facility's revenues are sufficient to pay for existing and proposed debt
C. issuing junior lien bonds unless the facility's revenues are sufficient to pay for existing and proposed debt
D. issuing bonds with the same lien on pledged revenues unless the facility's revenues are sufficient to pay for existing and proposed debt
Answer:
C. issuing junior lien bonds unless the facility's revenues are sufficient to pay for existing and proposed debt
Explanation:
A municipal revenue bond trust indenture includes an "additional bonds test" covenant. This prohibits the issuer from doing all the following;
1. issuing parity bonds unless the facility's revenues are sufficient to pay for existing and proposed debt.
2. issuing senior lien bonds unless the facility's revenues are sufficient to pay for existing and proposed debt.
3. issuing bonds with the same lien on pledged revenues unless the facility's revenues are sufficient to pay for existing and proposed debt
On the other hand, it allows issuing junior lien bonds unless the facility's revenues are sufficient to pay for existing and proposed debt.
An additional bonds test ultimately implies that the issuer is prohibited or restricted from the issuance of new bonds against the revenues of any other firm having same parity lien against pledged revenues, except it has sufficient funds (revenues) to do so.
Generally, in bond transactions, prohibition are made for selling debt having a senior claim when compared to that of the old (existing) bondholders such as creditors or investors.
he Clark Company fails to record these two adjusting journal entries: Depreciation on Equipment: $10 Cash Dividends declared: $40 Working capital will be:
Answer:
Working Capital will be overstated by the amount of $40.
Explanation:
Of the two the adjusting entries, we need to identify the adjusting entry that affects any element of Working Capital (Current Assets or Current Liability).
Depreciation Entries include : Debit Depreciation Expense (Expense) $10 and Credit Accumulated Depreciation $10.
Cash Dividends Declared Entries include : Debit Dividend (Equity) $40 and Credit Shareholders for Dividends (Liability) $40.
Thus, the Liabilities will be understated due to omission of Cash Dividends Declared Entries.
Subsequently, Working Capital will be overstated by the amount of $40.

The Loan Amortization Schedule is most appropriate way to solve all parts of this problem.
The first step to construction of the Amortization Schedule is to determine the payments made annually, PMT (interest and principal).
Using a Financial calculator, this can be determined as ;
Pv = $16,000
r = 5%
n = 4
Fv = $0
p/yr = 1
Pmt = ?
Thus PMT is $4,512.19.

Primus Corp. is planning to convert an existing warehouse into a new plant that will increase its production capacity by 45 percent. The cost of this project will be $7,125,000. It will result in additional cash flows of $1,875,000 for the next eight years. The discount rate is 12 percent.
a) What is the payback period?
b) What is the NPV for this project?
c) What is the IRR?
Answer:
3.8 years
$2,189,324.56
20.33%
Explanation:
Payback period calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
Payback period = amount invested / cash flows = $7,125,000 / $1,875,000 = 3.8 years
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Net present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
cash flow in year 0 = $-7,125,000.
cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $1,875,000
I = 12%
NPV = $2,189,324.56
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
cash flow in year 0 = $-7,125,000.
cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $1,875,000
I = 12%
IRR = 20.33%
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
Swing Co. has 9% annual coupon bonds that are callable and have 18 years left until maturity. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, and their current market price is $1,130.35. However, Swing Co. may call the bonds in eight years at a call price of $1,060. What are the YTM and the yield to call (YTC) on Swing Co.’s bonds?
Answer:
YTM = 7.77%
YTC = 7.62%
Explanation:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = {90 + [(1,000 - 1,130.35)/18]} / [(1,000 + 1,130.35)/2]
YTM = 82.758333 / 1,065.175 = 0.07769 = 7.77%
YTC = {coupon + [(call value - market value)/n]} / [(call value + market value)/2]
YTC = {90 + [(1,060 - 1,130.35)/8]} / [(1,000 + 1,130.35)/2]
YTC = 81.20625 / 1,065.175 = 0.07623 = 7.62%
Tobin inherited 100 acres of land on the death of his father in 2019. A Federal estate tax return was filed and the land was valued at $300,000 (its fair market value at the date of the death). The father had originally acquired the land in 1976 for $19,000 and prior to his death had made permanent improvements of $6,000. What is Tobin's basis in the land? a.$300,000 b.$19,000 c.$25,000 d.$325,000
Answer:
$300,000
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that the land was valued at the amount of $300,000 which is the fair market value price as at when Tobis father died this means that the amount of $300,000 will be Tobin's basis in the land eventhough his father bought the land at the amount of $19,000 in the year 1970 but since we were told that the Federal estate tax return was been filed and the land was valued at the amount of $300,000 this means that $300,000 will be Tobis basis in the land.
On March 4, Micro Sales makes $4,850 in sales on bank credit cards that charge a 2.5% service charge and deposits the funds into Micro Sales' bank accounts at the end of the business day. Journalize the sales and recognition of expense as a single journal entry.
Answer:
Please see the journal entry below
Explanation:
Dr Cash. $4,728
($4,850 - $121.25)
Dr Credit card expense. $121.25
(2.5% × $4,850)
Cr Sales $4,850
We can infer from the question that sales can be debited to cash since the deposit is at the end of the business day.

Assuming that the student started saving the day of her birthday, she will have $1,825 at the end of each year. So we must find the future value of an ordinary annuity with 45 payments worth $1,825 and 9% interest rate:
FV = $1,825 x 525.85873 (FV annuity factor, 9%, 45 periods) = $959,692.18
b. If she did not start saving until she was 45 years old, how much would she have at 65?
FV = $1,825 x 51.16012 (FV annuity factor, 9%, 20 periods) = $93,367.22
c. How much must the 45-year-old deposit monthly to catch the 20-year old?
$959,692.18 = annuity payment x 51.16012
annuity payment = $959,692.18 / 51.16012 = $18,758.60
