Answer: values
Explanation:
Societal values can simply be defined as the moral principles defined by the traditions, society dynamics, and cultural beliefs.
These values impact on the behavior of the people. An example is Germans' lack of interest in using credit cards like Visa and MasterCard, because the German word for 'debt' is the same as the word guilt. This hae to do with their belief and values.
Union local school district has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 3.3 percent paid semiannually and 20 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 3.7 percent, and the bond has a par value of 10000. What is the price of the bonds?
Answer:
$9,438.22
Explanation:
For computing the price of the bond we need to apply the present value formula i.e be to shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Future value = $10,000
Rate of interest = 3.7% ÷ 2 = 1.85%
NPER = 20 years × 2 = 40 years
PMT = $10,000 × 3.3% ÷ 2 = $165
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the price of the bond is $9,438.22
On February 1, 2021, a company loans one of its employees $29,000 and accepts a ten-month, 8% note receivable. Calculate the amount of interest revenue the company will recognize in 2021
Answer:
Calculation of interest revenue:
Interest revenue = $29,000 x 8% x 10/12 = $1,933
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculation:
Feb. 1, 2021 Loan to employees = $29,000
Ten-month, 8% note receivable
Interest revenue = $29,000 x 8% x 10/12 = $1,933
The note is for 10 months, but the rate of interest is 8% per annum. After the rate is applied on the loan to get an interest of $2,320, this will then be multiplied by 10 and divided by 12 to get the 10 months interest revenue. These loans to employees are expected to be repaid by the end of November, 2021 with the interest.
Suppose you are Coca-Cola and you are competing with Pepsi-Cola. Both of you would make more money if you advertised less - but you find yourself in a repeated prisoner's dilemma where you both are deciding to advertise. How would you prefer to deal with your competitor
Available Options Are:
A. Be nice and don't advertise first.
B. If your competitor advertises do not escalate the situation, but do match their move
C. Wait to respond to your competitors actions.
D. Make sure your actions are clear to your competitor.
E. All of the above except 'c'.
Answer:
Option C. Wait to respond to your competitors actions.
Explanation:
The best way to respond to our customer would be by to wait to respond to Pesi-cola's actions. By doing so, we have option to take best advantage out of the position. Furthermore, it is in the best interest of both competitors to increase the revenue by not sepending huge amounts on advertising products. And this is only possible if both Coca-cola and Pepsi-cola not investing in marketing products. So the only option here that gicves this option is Statement C.
It can also help to design better strategy to take advantage of the competitor's strategy.
Suppose your organization used function point analysis to estimate costs for software projects. How would the expertise level of a recently hired programmer affect your calculation of their function points on a monthly basis when compared to an older, more experienced programmer
Answer:
Please see explanations below
Explanation:
Cost estimation refers to the process of forecasting costs including other resources to manage, make decisions and to plan and set standards. It is also the approximation of product, project and service costs from available details in several documents and statements. Preparing precise and accurate cost estimation is important for a firm because such would be relied upon by customers hence could result to variant allocation of resources and misinterpretation to them and functional manager who control resources; where wrong cost estimations are made.
Function point analysis clears the facts that software function comes with different challenges which is dependent on the available resources. For a newly hired programmer, he could spend additional time while rating more of the functions assigned to him. Such could be rated as higher complexity hence create extra hour and also add to cost estimates because complexity estimates is a determinant of different programme features hence the more experienced and professional a programmer is, the lower the total cost of the whole programme process.

At the end of the first year of operations, Mayberry Advertising had accounts receivable of $21,200. Management of the company estimates that 9% of the accounts will not be collected. What adjustment would Mayberry Advertising record for Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
Answer: Credit Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $1,908
Explanation:
The Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is an account where an estimate of receivables that may not be received is recorded. It is the result of companies being proactive in collection management so as not to overstate assets because there will always be a risk of customers defaulting.
The allowance/estimate is made by the company and then reduced from the Receivables account. That amount removed is credited to the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts.
= 21,200 * 9%
= $1,908
She figures out that her fixed costs will be $7,500 and her unit variable costs are $2 per raft. She plans to rent all 2,500 rafts she has on hand. What is Rachel's breakeven price?
Answer:
selling price= $5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
She figures out that her fixed costs will be $7,500 and her unit variable costs are $2 per raft. She plans to rent all 2,500 rafts she has on hand.
To calculate the break-even selling price, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
2,500= 7,500 / (selling price - 2)
2,500selling price - 5,000= 7,500
selling price= 12,500/2,500
selling price= $5
Assume an economy in which there are three securities: Stock A with rA = 10% and σ A = 10%; Stock B with rB = 15% and σ B = 20%; and a riskless asset with r RF = 7%. Stocks A and B are uncorrelated (rAB = 0). Which of the following statements is most correct?
A. The expected return on the investor's portfolio will probably have an expected return that is somewhat below 10%.
B. The expected return on the investor's portfolio will probably have an expected return that is somewhat above 15% and a standard deviation (SD) of approximately 20%.
C. Since the two stocks have a zero correlation coefficient, the investor can form a riskless portfolio whose expected return is in the range of 10% to 15%.
D. The investor's risk/return indifference curve will be tangent to the CML at a point where the expected return is in the range of 7% to 10%.
E. The expected return on the investor's portfolio will probably have an expected return that is somewhat below 15% and a standard deviation (SD) that is between 10% and 20%.
Answer: E. The expected return on the investor's portfolio will probably have an expected return that is somewhat below 15% and a standard deviation (SD) that is between 10% and 20%.
Explanation:
Out of the three securities, the highest return that can be received is 15%. It will therefore be impossible for the entire portfolio to go past 15% in returns because even if a 100% of the portfolio is invested in stock B (Stock with 15%), the highest return will be 15%. With other returns stock added, the return will decrease from the highest return receivable so will be under 15%.
The same logic applies for the standard deviation. The highest standard deviation is 20% so the deviation will not exceed this but it will be lower than this due to the presence of less risky stocks in A and the the riskless asset.

You want to buy a new sports coupe for $74,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you a loan with an APR of 6.9 percent for 36 months to buy the car.
Required:
a. What will your monthly payments be?
b. What is the effective annual rate on this loan?
Answer:
a) Monthly payments = $22,969.38
b) Effective rate of return= 7.12%
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The monthly installment is computed as follows:
Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor
Loan amount; = 74,500
Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r
r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months
r- 6.9%/12 = 0.575 % = 0.00575, n = 36 =
Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+00575)^(-36)/0.00575= 32.434
Monthly installment = Loan amount /annuity factor
= 74,500/32.434= 22,969.38
Required monthly payments = $22,969.38
Effective annual interest rate
Effective rate of return = ((1+r)^n- 1) × 100
where r - monthly interest rate- 6.9%/12 = 0.575%
n- number of months= 12 months
Effective rate of return - (1+00575)^(12) - 1× 100= 7.12%
Effective rate of return= 7.12%

According to the Uniform Prudent Investors Act , it is NOT a breach of fiduciary duty if investment advisers do not inquire into a client's A) investment objectives B) specific financial needs C) Social Security or tax ID number D) financial situation
Answer: C) Social Security or tax ID number
Explanation:
The Uniform Prudent Investors Act lists guidelines to be followed by investment advisers and trustees when they invest assets. The guiding principle of this Act is the Prudent Man Rule which is that when investing, the investor should invest like a Prudent person would invest their assets.
As such, an investor should be sure to find out some details about the client to enable them better recommend an investment trajectory. Details such as their specific financial needs, their investment objectives and their financial situation will enable the advisers better know what investment strategies and vehicles to use and therefore not inquiring about them would be a breach of fiduciary duty.
Knowing about a client's Social Security or tax ID number will not help the adviser chart an investment course better so does not need to be known.
Montel Company’s July sales budget calls for sales of $630,000. The store expects to begin July with $63,000 of inventory and to end the month with $37,000 of inventory. Gross margin is typically 20% of sales. Determine the budgeted cost of merchandise purchases for July.
Answer:
Budgeted cost of merchandise purchases =$499,000
Explanation:
The expected units of a product that a business estimates to purchase given its sales budget and inventory is known as the purchases budget.
The purchases budget can bed determined by adjusting the sales budget for closing and opening inventories.
Purchases budget = Sales budget +closing inventory - opening inventory
Note that the sales was given in selling price terms while the inventories in cost terms, hence there is a need to work out the cost of the sales using the 20% margin
Cost of the sales = 100/120× 630,000 =$ 525000
Opening inventory =63,000
Closing inventory = 37,000
Budgeted cost of merchandise purchases:
= 525000 + 37,000 - 63,000= $499,000
Budgeted cost of merchandise purchases =$499,000
A put option gives its owners the right, but not the obligation, to: buy a commodity at a specified price and future date, at which time physical delivery occurs. sell a commodity at a specified price and future date, but physical delivery does not occur. sell a specified number of shares at a certain price within a specified period of time. buy a specified number of shares at a certain price within a specified period of time.
Answer:
sell a specified number of shares at a certain price within a specified period of time.
Explanation:
A put option is a contract in which there is a right given to an owner but its not an obligation for selling a particular number of shares at a specific price within a time period set. Here specific price we called as predetermined price where the option put the buyer to sell at the strike price
Hence, the third option is correct
Ford has a rigid hierarchical pecking order that discourages sharing ideas and well-established leadership-training practices. Which cause of organizational resistance to change does this illustrate
Answer:
culture
Explanation:
Organisational resistance to change occurs when employees fail to understand how they fit into way things are done in an organisation.
For example when there is need to change the job role of an employee from operations to sales. There may be a resistance to taking on the responsibilities of the new role.
Organisational resistance can also be in regards to a company that does not want to adjust to changing business climate.
In this scenario the rigid hierarchical pecking order that discourages sharing ideas and well-established leadership-training practices makes Ford resistant to needed change.
This is a cultural resistance because it is the accepted way of doing things in the company

Your boss asks you to settle a negotiation between yourself and a co-worker. In order to improve your own bargaining position, you should encourage your boss to:
Answer:
give only my coworker an incentive to reach an agreement.
Explanation:
One of the ways to improving my bargaining position before negotiation as in the above scenario is that I would encourage my boss to give only my coworker an incentive to reach an agreement so as to make the whole process seamless. There are several reasons why parties engage in negotiation; one of which is to reach an agreement in order to avoid dispute or settle disagreement.
By allowing incentives to be given to my coworker alone in order to reach an agreement, it shows that I am willing to compromise hence improve my bargaining position and strengthen my negotiation skill. It means that I am willing to sacrifice my own term and it must be noted that without compromise by either of the parties in a negotiation, it can be nearly impossible to reach an agreement.
Consider a team that you are familiar with - either by being a member of the team, a team leader, or a bystander. What were the team's goals?
Answer:
• To ensure that there is no income leakage whatsoever
• Ensure that there is no customer complaint made to the company's executives
• Early closure not later than 5pm daily, Monday to Friday
• Ensure customer survey ratings of at least 8.0
• Drive paperless environment.
• Daily reconciliation of the bank's transit accounts.
Explanation:
I used to belong to a team called settlement and reconciliation , which is under operations support, business banking in one of the top financial institution.
The goals are as listed above. For instance as a settlement and reconciliation team, you must ensure accurate settlement of all merchants such that none would receive excess settlement s which could deplete the bank's income. Also, there must be no customer complaint escalated to the bank's executives hence team must promptly resolve all queries and complaint.
Another goal is to drive early closure. No member of staff must remain in the office after 5pm unless permission is obtained to deal urgent transaction. Each year, the bank conducts internal survey among departments to know how well we treat our internal and external stakeholders. The least score approved for my team is 8.0 out of 10 , which must be met.
Again, one of the goals of the bank is paperless drive which was included in each team or unit's goals. We support the drive for paperless transactions by suggesting means to consummate transactions without printing. We must also ensure daily and timely reconciliation of all our transit accounts in order to ensure that no idle fund is sitting in there.
Sherrie Hymes holds a $200,000 portfolio consisting of the following stocks. The portfolio's beta is 0.875. Stock Investment Beta A $50,000 0.50 B 50,000 0.80 C 50,000 1.00 D 50,000 1.20 Total $200,000 If Sherrie replaces Stock A with another stock, E, which has a beta of 1.50, what will the portfolio's new beta be
Answer:
The portfolio’s new beta will be 1.125
Explanation:
In this question, we are interested in calculating the portfolio’s new beta given the value of the beta of the stock which is used in replacing it.
We apply a mathematical approach here.
Mathematically;
Portfolio beta=Respective beta * Respective investment weight
=(50,000/200,000*1.5)+(50,000/200,000*0.8)+(50,000/200,000*1)+(50,000/200,000*1.2)
= 0.375 + 0.2 + 0.25 + 0.3 = 1.125

Joe must pay liabilities of 1,000 due one year from now and another 2,000 due three years from now. There are two available investments: Bond I: A one-year zero-coupon bond that matures for 1,000. The yield rate is 6% per year Bond II: A two-year zero-coupon bond with face amount of 1,000. The yield rate is 7% per year. At the present time the one-year forward rate for an investment made two years from now is 6.5%. Joe plans to buy amounts of each bond. He plans to reinvest the proceeds from Bond II in a one-year zero-coupon bond. Assuming the reinvestment earns the forward rate, calculate the total purchase price of Bond I and Bond II where the amounts are selected to exactly match the liabilities.
1. 2,584
2. 2,697
3. 2,801
4. 2,907
5. 3,000
Answer:
1. 2,584
Explanation:
future payments: $1,000 in 1 year and $2,000 in 3 years
the present value of alternative I (one year bond):
$1,000 / 1.06 = $943.40
the present value of alternative II (first 2 years and then 1 year):
$2,000 / 1.065 = $1,877.93 ⇒ PV at year 2
PV at year 0 = $1,877.93 / 1.07² = $1,640.26
the total present value of both options = $943.40 + $1,640.26 = $2,583.66 ≈ $2,584
Liabilities are settled over time through the transfer of economic benefits including money, goods, and services.
LiabilitiesLiability are some things someone or company owes, that's usually a sum of cash.
Now we calculate the whole price of Bond I and also Bond II.
The longer term payments is : $1,000 in 1 year and $2,000 in 3 years.
The present value of different I (one year bond): $[tex]1,000 / 1.06[/tex] = $[tex]943.40[/tex]
The present value of other II (first 2 years then 1 year): $[tex]2,000 / 1.065[/tex] = $[tex]1,877.93[/tex]⇒ PV at year 2PV at year 0 = $1,877.93 / 1.07² = $1,640.26
The total present value of both options = $943.40 + $1,640.26 = $[tex]2,583.66 ≈[/tex]$2,584
Thus, the correction option is (1.) 2,584.

The Great Depression was the worst economic disaster in U.S. history in terms of declines in real GDP and increases in the unemployment rate. Use the data in the following table to calculate the percentage decline in real GDP between 1929 and 1933.
Year Nominal GDP Billions of Dollars GDP Price Deflator (yr 2000 = 100)
1929 103.6 11.9
1933 56.4 8.9
Real GDP changed by _____% over the 4 year period between 1929 and 1933. Enter a percentage value rounded to one decimal place. Include a minus sign if necessary.
Answer: -27.2%
Explanation:
The Real GDP can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Price Deflator which is the current price level for the year.
Price Deflator = (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) * 100
Real GDP = (Nominal GDP/ Price Deflator ) * 100
1929
= (103.6/11.9 )* 100
= $870.588
1933
= (56.4/8.9) * 100
= $633.70787
Percentage Change
= (870.588 - 633.70787) / 870.588
= 0.272
= -27.2%
GDP changed by -27.2% over the 4 year period between 1929 and 1933
