Ken just purchased new furniture for his house at a cost of $15,600. The loan calls for weekly payments for the next 7 years at an annual interest rate of 10.51 percent. How much are his weekly payments
Answer:
$60.58
Explanation:
According to the given situation the computation of weekly payments is shown below:-
Weekly payments = Loan ÷ (1 - (1 ÷ (1 + r^n))) ÷ r
= $15,600 ÷ (1 - (1 ÷ (1.0020211 ^364))) ÷ 0.00202115
= $60.58
here r = interest rate, n = time period
Therefore for computing the weekly payment we simply applied the above formula.
So, the correct answer is $60.58
: Imagine that Canada, the US, and Mexico decide to adopt a fixed exchange rate system. What would be the likely consequences of such a system for the flow of trade and investment between all three countries
Answer:
The exchange rate would benefit the U.S. and Canada more, that it would benefit Mexico.
This is because the Mexican currency: Mexican Peso, is devalued when compared to the U.S. Dollar and the Canadian Dollar. This means that Mexican exports are comparatively cheaper than American or Canadian exports, causing a great growth of Mexican manufacturing in recent decades.
In a fixed exchange rate system, Mexico would lose this competitive advantage. It would still have lower labor costs, but the amount of manufacturing that would move from the U.S. and Canada to Mexico would probably be less.
Fuller Food Company distributes coupons which may be presented (on or before a stated expiration date) to grocers. The grocers are reimbursed when they send the coupons to Fuller. In Fuller's experience, 50% of such coupons are redeemed, and generally one month elapses between the date a grocer receives a coupon from a consumer and the date Fuller receives it. During 2012 Fuller issued two separate series of coupons as follows:
Issue On Total Value Consumer Expiration Date Amount Disbursed as of 12/31/12
1/1/12 $720,000 6/30/13 $300,000
7/1/12 500,000 12/31/12 190,000
1. The December 31, 2012 balance sheet should indicate a liability for unredeemed coupons of:
a. $730,000
b. $60,000
c. $124,000
d. $120,000
e. $365,000
2. Case Corporation issues $100,000, 10%, five-year bonds at 94. The total interest expense over the life of the bonds is:
a. $56,000
b. $44,000
c. $50,000
d. $54,000
e. $46,000
Answer:
1. c.$124,000
2. e.$46,000
Explanation:
The Fuller company has issued two bonds with separate coupons. The liability for unredeemed bond at December 31, 2012 is $124,000.
The value of bond when issued is $720,000
Value of bond at expiration date is $300,000
720,000 / 300,000 = 2.4
2.4 * 190,000 = 456,000 / 3.67 years
= $124,000
Case corporation has issued bond with value 94 issued at par with 10% coupon rate.
Using the amortization bond table we get $46,000.
$(100000 / 94 ) * 10% = 106.38 * 5 years
= 5,319.20 * 8.64 amortizing rate
= $46,000
You are going to deposit $26,000 today. You will earn an annual rate of 6.1 percent for 11 years, and then earn an annual rate of 5.5 percent for 14 years. How much will you have in your account in 25 years?
Answer:
Total value in the account after 25 years = $105,530.26
Explanation:
The value of an amount invested at a certain rate of return for certain number of years where interest compounded annually is known as the future value.
The future value of an investment can be determined using the future value formula. This formula is stated below:
FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)
FV - Future Value , PV- Present Value, r-rate of return, n- number of years
For the first compounding, 6.1% for 11 years
PV - 26,000, r- 6.1% and n- 11
FV = 26,000 × (1.061)^11 = 49,870.367
For the second round of compounding at 5.5% for 14 years
PV - 49,870.367 , r -5.5%, n- 14
FV = 49,870.367× 1.055^14 = 105,530.259
Total value in the account after 25 years = $105,530.26
Klumper Corporation is a diversified manufacturer of industrial goods. The company’s activity-based costing system contains the following six activity cost pools and activity rates: Activity Cost Pool Activity Rates Supporting direct labor $ 9 per direct labor-hour Machine processing $ 3 per machine-hour Machine setups $ 40 per setup Production orders $ 170 per order Shipments $ 115 per shipment Product sustaining $ 750 per product Activity data have been supplied for the following two products: Total Expected Activity K425 M67 Number of units produced per year 200 2,000 Direct labor-hours 1,050 40 Machine-hours 2,800 30 Machine setups 17 2 Production orders 17 2 Shipments 34 2 Product sustaining 2 2 Required: How much total overhead cost would be assigned to K425 and M67 using the activity-based costing system?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
K425 M67
Number of units produced per year 200 2,000
Direct labor-hours 1,050 40
Machine-hours 2,800 30
Machine setups 17 2
Production orders 17 2
Shipments 34 2
Product sustaining 2 2
To calculate the total overhead allocated to each product, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
K425:
Supporting direct labor= 9*1,050= 9,450
Machine processing= 3*2,800= 8,400
Machine setups= 40*17= 680
Production orders= 170*17= 2,890
Shipments= 115*34= 3,910
Product sustaining= 750*2= 1,500
Total overhead= $26,830
M67:
Supporting direct labor= 9*40= 360
Machine processing= 3*30= 90
Machine setups= 40*2= 80
Production orders= 170*2= 340
Shipments= 115*2= 230
Product sustaining= 750*2= 1,500
Total overhead= $2,600
International trade promotes economic growth when it allows any two countries to grow (in their combined production) beyond (above) their pre-trade production possibilities curve (PPC).
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
The Production Possibilities Curve (PPC) is meant to illustrate how a country produces goods and services given the limited resources it has. The curve represents the various amounts that have to be traded off of 2 goods to produce more or less of one good.
The Curve shows that it is best that a country produces those goods that is good at producing so that it can produce more of it and then trade with the rest of the world for the goods it isn't too efficient at producing. If both countries involved in the trade are able to grow beyond (above) their pre-trade production possibilities curve then the trade would have promoted economic growth.
At July 31, Farmer Company has this bank information: cash balance per bank $8,344; outstanding checks $804; deposits in transit $1,383; and a bank service charge $58.
Determine the adjusted cash balance per bank at July 31.
The adjusted cash balance per bank at July 31:___________.
Answer:
The adjusted balance per bank is $8923
Explanation:
Adjusted cash balance per bank
Cash balance per bank (unadjusted) 8344
(+) Deposits in transit 1383
(-) Outstanding checks (804)
Cash balance per bank (adjusted) 8923
The adjusted cash balance per bank is calculated by adjusting the transactions that do not appear on the current bank statement.
The deposits in transit is the amount of cash deposited in the bank, that will increase the bank balance, which is still in process and has not been added to the bank account as of now. Thus, we will add this amount to calculate the adjusted bank balance.
The outstanding checks amount is the amount of checks that have been issued by the business but which are yet to be presented by the recipients of checks and will result in a reduction in the bank balance. Thus, we deduct them to calculate the adjusted balance.
The bank charge is deducted by the bank itself thus we assume that it has already been deducted. So, no adjustment is made for this.
On April 30, Victor Services had an Accounts Receivable balance of $37,800. During the month of May, total credits to Accounts Receivable were $73,600 from customer payments. The May 31 Accounts Receivable balance was $31,000. What was the amount of credit sales during May?
Answer:
The answer is $66,800
Explanation:
Beginning accounts receivable balance ---$37,800
Ending accounts receivable balance -----$31,000
Total credits to Accounts Receivable------ $73,600
Credit sales = (Total credits to Accounts Receivable + Ending accounts receivable balance) - Beginning accounts receivable balance
($73,600 + $31,000) - $37,800
$104,600 - $37,800
= $66,800

On July 1 Olive Co. paid $7,500 cash for management services to be performed over a two-year period. Olive follows a policy of recording all prepaid expenses to asset accounts at the time of cash payment. On July 1 Olive should record:
Answer:
The journal entry to record this should be:;
July 1, Year 202x, cash received as deferred revenue
Dr Cash 7,500
Cr Deferred revenue 7,500
Explanation:
Accrual accounting states that both revenues and expenses must be recorded during the periods that they actually occur, and not necessarily when any cash transfer is associated to them.
In this case, the adjusting entry for accrued revenue on December 31 should be:
December 31, year 202x, accrued revenue
Dr Deferred revenue 1,875
Cr Service revenue 1,875
Consider a service company that provides carpet cleaning and uses straight-line depreciation. Classify the cost of the depreciation on the carpet cleaning machines.
a. Fixed
b. Indirect
Answer:
Both :
a. Fixed and,
b. Indirect
Explanation:
The depreciation expense on production machinery form part of the product or service cost.
The cost however, can not be traced to the product or service that is why it is an Indirect cost as opposed to the direct costs which can be traced directly on the product or service.
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation thus the depreciation is a fixed charge.
Lindon Company is the exclusive distributor for an automotive product that sells for $34.00 per unit and has a CM ratio of 30%. The company’s fixed expenses are $193,800 per year. The company plans to sell 21,600 units this year. Required: 1. What are the variable expenses per unit? (Round your "per unit" answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. What is the break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? 3. What amount of unit sales and dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $91,800 per year? 4. Assume that by using a more efficient shipper, the company is able to reduce its variable expenses by $3.40 per unit. What is the company’s new break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? What dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $91,800?
Answer:
1. $23.80
2. Break even Point (units) = 19,000 units and Break even Point (dollars) = $646,000
3. Unit sales to attain a target profit = 28,000 units and Dollar sales to attain a target profit = $952,000
4. Break even Point (units) = 28,500 units, Break even Point (dollars) = $969,000 and Dollar sales to attain a target profit = $1,428,000.
Explanation:
Variable Cost % = 100% - 30%
= 70%
Thus, variable expenses per unit = $34.00 × 70%
= $23.80
Break even Point is the level of activity where a firm makes neither a profit nor a loss.
Break even Point (units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit
= $193,800 / ($34.00 ×30%)
= $193,800 / $10.20
= 19,000 units
Break even Point (dollars) = Fixed Cost / CM Ratio
= $193,800 / 0.30
= $646,000
Unit sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / Contribution per unit
= ($193,800 + $91,800) / $10.20
= 28,000
Dollar sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / CM Ratio
= ($193,800 + $91,800) / 0.30
= $952,000
When variable expenses reduce by $3.40 per unit.
Break even Point (units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit
= $193,800 / ($34.00 - $23.80 - $3.40 )
= $193,800 / $6.80
= 28,500 units
Break even Point (dollars) = Fixed Cost / CM Ratio
= $193,800 / ($6.80/ $34.00)
= $969,000
Dollar sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / CM Ratio
= ($193,800 + $91,800) / 0.20
= $1,428,000

Budgeted fixed overhead $ 144,000 per month
Budgeted output 12,000 cases per month
Required:
Compute the following variances:
a Variable-overhead spending variance
b. Variable-overhead efficiencv variance
c. Fixed-overhead budget variance
d. Fixed-overhead volume variance
Answer:
a. $26,200 Unfavorable
b. $16,800 Unfavorable
c. $ 5,000 Unfavorable
d. $48,000 Unfavorable
Explanation:
a Variable-overhead spending variance
Variable-overhead spending variance = Budgeted Variable overheads at actual hours worked - Actual variable overheads
= (33,400 × $ 12.00) - $ 427,000
= $400,800 - $ 427,000
= $26,200 Unfavorable
b. Variable-overhead efficiency variance
Variable-overhead efficiency variance = (Actual Output × Standard hour × Standard rate) - (Actual hours × Standard rate per hour)
= (8,000 × 4 × $ 12.00) - (33,400 × $ 12.00)
= $384,000 - $400,800
= $16,800 Unfavorable
c. Fixed-overhead budget variance
Fixed-overhead budget variance = Actual Fixed Overheads - Budgeted Fixed Overheads
= $ 149,000 - $ 144,000
= $ 5,000 Unfavorable
d. Fixed-overhead volume variance
Fixed-overhead volume variance = Fixed overheads at Budgeted Production - Budgeted Fixed Overheads
= ($ 144,000 / 12,000 × 8,000) - $ 144,000
= $96,000 - $144,000
= $48,000 Unfavorable
Landow Company uses variable costing for internal purposes and wants to restate income to that of absorption costing for external reporting purposes. Landow's income under variable costing is $630,000. Fixed production cost in ending inventory is $120,000 and $85,000 in beginning inventory. What is Landow's income under absorption costing?
Answer:
$635,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net income under absorption costing is shown below:
= Income under variable costing + fixed production cost in ending inventory - beginning inventory
= $630,000 + $120,000 - $85,000
= $635,000
By adding the fixed cost and deduct the beginning inventory to the variable costing income we can easily calculate the absorption costing income
Give one example of how you think the Law of One Price may hold.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The law of one price may hold, when there is eliminatination of price differences through arbitrage opportunities between markets.
For example, considering the value of two currencies e.g Dollar and Pound is equal when a basket of identical goods is priced the same in both countries. This ensures that buyers have the same purchasing power across global markets.

The value (intrinsic value) of any financial asset is: Group of answer choices the current market price present value of its future cash flows present value of all past cash flows the future value of the assets cash flows the return that you get from holding the asset
Answer:
The value (intrinsic value) of any financial asset is:
present value of its future cash flows
Explanation:
The intrinsic value is not the current market value. It is the present value of future cash flows. This means that future cash flows are discounted to their present values. This value represents the true value of the financial asset. By calculating the intrinsic value of the financial asset, the analyst takes away the noise generated by market sentiments as conveyed by current market values.
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
Thomas, the manager of an apartment complex, rented an apartment to Donna. A few weeks later, Donna complained that the hot water did not work. Thomas hired Hometown Plumbers to fix the hot water, but the job was not successful. A few days later Donna moved out since she had no hot water. She sued the landlord and Thomas for breach of contract.
Answer:
The landlord is liable but not thomas
Explanation:
Even though Thomas rented the apartment to Donna, he is just the manager and not the owner of the apartment. There is a difference between the landlord and Thomas the property manager. The landlord actually owns the apartment or the building. Thomas on the other hand, only offers a third party service because he was hired by the owner of the apartment to handle the day to day operations of taking care of the building. The Landlord is therefore liable for this breach of contract as he is known to be the apartment owner.
Two equal-sized newspapers have an overlap circulation of 10% (10% of the subscribers subscribe to both newspapers). Advertisers are willing to pay $24 to advertise in one newspaper but only $45 to advertise in both, because they're unwilling to pay twice to reach the same subscriber. Suppose the advertisers bargain by teling each newspaper that they're going to reach agreement with the other newspaper, whereby they pay the other newspaper $21 to advertise. According to the nonstrategic view of bargaining, each newspaper would earn ____________ with the advertisers. The total gain for the two newspapers from reaching an agreement is $ of the $21 in value added by reaching an agreement _____________.
Suppose the two newspapers merge. As such, the advertisers can no longer bargain by telling each newspaper that they're going to reach agreement with the other newspaper. Thus the total gains for the two parties (the advertisers and the merged newspapers) from reaching an agreement with the advertisers are $21.
According to the nonstrategi argaining, each merged newspaper will earn ___________in an agreement with the advertisers. This gain to the merged newspaper is_____________than the total gains to the individual newspapers pre-meger.
Answer:
Each newspaper would earn $10.50 with the advertisers. The total gain for the two newspapers from reaching an agreement is $ of the $21 in value added by reaching an agreement $21
Each merged newspaper will earn $22.50 in an agreement with the advertisers.
The merged newspapes is GREATER
Explanation:
Each newspaper would earn $10.50 with the advertisers. The total gain for the two newspapers from reaching an agreement is $ of the $21 in value added by reaching an agreement $21
Each merged newspaper will earn $22.50 in an agreement with the advertisers.
The merged newspaper is GREATER
Below is the calculation:
1.$21/2=$10.50
2.$10.50+$10.50=$21
3.$45/2=$22.50
4. GREATER because $22.50 is greater than the total gains to the individual newspapers pre-meger of $21
4. under rule utilitarianism the notion that if an action increases utility at one particular
moment, it does not show that:
Answer:
Moral decision
Explanation:
Utilitarianism is the notion of ethics that is an action is considered good if it results in the greatest good of all the others. It considers the single action and decided on that basis whether the certain thing is right or wrong. The utility increases at one particular action and when the other action arrives its utility diminishes. It does not show the moral decision that has been taken for the other reasons.
Holmes Company produces a product that can be either sold as is or processed further. Holmes has already spent $96,000 to produce 1,375 units that can be sold now for $89,500 to another manufacturer. Alternatively, Holmes can process the units further at an incremental cost of $290 per unit. If Holmes processes further, the units can be sold for $440 each. Should Holmes sell the product now or process it further
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Particulars Sales As Is Process further Incremental Accounting
Sales $89,500 $605,000 $515,500
(1,375 units × $440)
Less:
Additional Process costs $398,750 $398,750
(1,375 units × $290)
Total $89,500 $206,250 $116,750
Based on the incremental income, Holmes should process it further.

Suppose a society begins by producing 3 units of X and 4 units of Y and then alters production to 4 units of X and 4 units of Y. If the quantity and quality of resources and the technology being used remain unchanged, then: Group of answer choices
Answer:
This situation means that resources were not being efficiently used.
If society managed to produce 1 more unit of X with the same resources and technology, this means that some resources were idle in the past, which causes inefficiency.
This also means that the combination 3 units of X and 4 units of Y is a point inside the PPF. However, we do not know if the combination 4 units of X and 4 units of Y is a point inside the PPF, or on the PPF, because there could be some other combination that could be even more efficient (for example 5 units of both X and Y with the same resources and technology).
The supply of luxury boats is perfectly elastic, the demand for luxury boats is unit elastic, and with no tax on luxury boats the price is $22 million and 210210 luxury boats a week are bought. Now luxury boats are taxed 10%. What is the new quantity of boats sold and what is the governments tax revenue?

price increase by 10% so, demand decrease by 10%
New demand = Total demand [100% - 10%]
New demand = 210 [90%]
New demand = 189 boats
Governments tax revenue = 189[($22million + 10%) - $22million]
Governments tax revenue = 189[$24.2 - $22million]
Governments tax revenue = $415.8 million]
