The computation of advertising be increased with profits remaining unchanged is shown below:-
Particulars Current Proposed
Units 21,600 43,200
Sales $172,800 $345,600
($8 × 21,600) ($16 × 21,600)
Less: Variable expenses $86,400 $172,800
(21,600 × $4) (43,200 × $4)
Sales commission - $25,920
Less: Fixed expenses $20,000 $20,000
Net income $66,400 $126,880
So, the difference is $126,880 - $66,400
= $60,480
You would expect a bond of the U.S. government to pay higher interestrate as compared to a bond of an Eastern European government.
A. True
B. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Bond interest is determined in part by the riskiness of the Issuer of the bond. The United States is one of the most trust-worthy countries in the world and this is reflected by the US T-bills being considered a risk-free asset the world over.
The less risky an asset is, the less interest it has to pay as it does not have to compensate its investors for more added risk. A United States Bond is definitely safer than an Eastern European Government bond who are not as developed as the Western Europeans speaking in an unbiased manner. Therefore the US Bond will pay a lower interest relative to a bond of an Eastern European government.

If the government guarantees sugar farmers a price of $1 per pound when the market equilibrium price is actually $0.50 per pound, which of the following will occur?
a) A shortage of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.
b) A shortage of sugar will occur, decreasing inefficiency.
c) A surplus of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.
d) A surplus of sugar will occur,decreasing inefficiency.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
the price per pound of sugar is above equilibrium price, as a result the supply of sugar would increase while the demand for sugar would decrease. this would lead to a surplus. because at $1, supply would exceed demand, there would be an increase in inefficiency
Answer:
A surplus of sugar will occur, increasing inefficiency.
Explanation:
When the price of sugar is set above the market equilibrium price, the quantity supplied will be greater than the quantity demanded by consumers. Therefore, a surplus of sugar occurs that increases the level of inefficiency.
What is the future value of a $900 annuity payment over five years if interest rates are 8 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Which one of the following stocks is correctly priced if the risk-free rate of return is 3.6 percent and the market risk premium is 8.1 percent?
Stock Beta Expected Return
A. 89 7.83%
B. 1.52 12.59
C. 1.25 11.27
C 1.27 14.50
D. 80 10.08
Answer: Stock of D is correctly priced at 10.08%
( for the beta of Stock A and D, I guessed you meant 0.89 and 0.80 respectively as opposed to 89 and 80 you put, so i corrected and solved accordingly.)
Explanation:
Expected return = Rf + beta ( Rm - Rf )
Rf =Risk free return = 3.6
Rm-Rf = Market risk premium = 8.1%
A) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 0.89, 7.83%
Expected return = 3.6 + 0. 89 (8.1) = 10.809%-- its over priced
B) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.52 12.59%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.52(8.1) = 15.912%---- its over priced
B) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.25 11.27%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.25(8.1) = 13.725 %--- its overpriced
c) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 1.27 14.50%
Expected return = 3.6 + 1.27(8.1) = 13.887%---- Its underpriced
d) Stock Beta , Expected Return= 0.80 10.08%
Expected return = 3.6 + 0. 80(8.1) = 10.08%---- Correctly priced
Vulcan, Inc., has 8.2 percent coupon bonds on the market that have 10 years left to maturity. The bonds make annual payments and have a par value of $1,000. If the YTM on these bonds is 10.2 percent, what is the current bond price
Answer:
The current bond price (PV) is $878.16.
Explanation:
The current bond price (PV) can be calculated by compiling the following data :
FV = -$1,000
n = 10
Pmt = $1,000 × 8.20% = -$82
P/yr = 1
YTM = 10.20%
Pv = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the current bond price (PV) is $878.1575 or $878.16.
26. Currently, Bruner Inc.'s bonds sell for $1,250. They pay a $120 annual coupon, have a 15-year maturity, and a $1,000 par value, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,050. Assume that no costs other than the call premium would be incurred to call and refund the bonds, and also assume that the yield curve is horizontal, with rates expected to remain at current levels on into the future. What is the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC
Answer:
2.11%
Explanation:
From the information given; we use the Excel spreadsheet to compute the difference between this bond's YTM(Yield to maturity) and its YTC(Yield to call).
From the diagram; we will see that the
YTM(Yield to maturity) = 8.91%
YTC(Yield to call).= 6.81%
Therefore the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC = (8.91 - 6.81)%
the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC = 2.11%
If the minority price for a single share of stock of a company is $20, if there are 500 thousand shares of stock, and a person offers to buy the entire company for $14.5 million, what is the controlling interest premium being offered
Answer:
$4,500,000
Explanation:
current market price per stock $20
total stocks outstanding 500,000
corporation's total value = 500,000 x $20 = $10,000,000
investor's offer to purchase 100% at $14,500,000
controlling interest premium = $14,500,000 - $10,000,000 = $4,500,000
new price per stock = $14,500,000 / 500,000 = $29
The controlling interest premium equals the difference between the current market price of the stock and the purchase offer.

A Plus Appliances sells dishwashers with a four-year warranty. In 2019, sales revenue for dishwashers is $94,000. The company estimates warranty expense at 4.5% of revenues. What is the total estimated warranty payable of A Plus Appliances as of December 31,2019? A Plus Appliances began operating in 2019. (Round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$4230
Explanation:
Given that, the sales revenue to the dishwashers is equal to $94,000
Also the company estimated warranty expense cost is equal to 4.5% of revenues,
Thus, the estimated warranty payable can be determined by the following formula:
Annual sales revenue for the dishwashers * warranty expense revenues
= $94,000 * 4.5% = $94,000 * 0.045
= $4230
Hence, the total estimated warranty payable of A Plus Appliances as of December 31, 2019 = $4230

Assume that the parent company acquires its subsidiary by exchanging 55,000 shares of its Common Stock, with a market value on the acquisition date of $40 per share, for all of the outstanding voting shares of the investee. In its analysis of the investee company, the parent values all of the subsidiary's assets and liabilities at an amount equaling their book values except for a building that it feels is undervalued by $500,000, an unrecorded License Agreement that the parent values at $250,000, and an unrecorded Customer List owned by the subsidiary that the parent values at $100,000.
Any further discrepancy between the purchase price and the book value of the subsidiary's Stockholders' Equity is attributed to expected synergies to be realized by the consolidated company as a result of the acquisition.

The risk-free interest rate is 3.7% per year, the market risk premium is 5.6% per year, and a stock’s beta is 0.84. What is the stock’s annual expected return? Question 16 options: A) 9.8% B) 8.4% C) 9.1% D) 9.5% E) 8.7%
Answer:
The answer is B. 8.4%
Explanation:
To solve this, we will use Capital Asset Pricing Model(CAPM)
Stock’s annual expected return=
Rf + beta(Rm-Rf)
Rf is the risk free rate
Risk premium is (Rm-Rf) - the difference between market interest rate and the risk free rate.
Rf is 3.7%
Risk premium is 5.6%
Beta is 0.84
3.7% + 0.84(5.6%)
3.7% + 4.7%
= 8.4%
Department 1 completed and transferred out 450 units and had ending work in process inventory of 60 units. The ending inventory is 20% complete for materials and 60% complete for labor and overhead. The equivalent units of production for labor and overhead is ______ units.
Answer:
Equivalent units= 486 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units completed= 450
Ending work in process= 60 units
The ending inventory is 20% complete for materials and 60% complete for labor and overhead.
To calculate the equivalent units of production, we need to use the following formula:
Units started and completed = units completed - beginning WIP
Ending work in process completed= Ending WIP* %completed
=Number of equivalent units
Units started and completed = 450 - 0= 450
Ending work in process completed= 60*0.6= 36
= 486 units

Suppose a bank has $500 million in deposits and $35 million in required reserves, and it is holding no excess reserves. What is the required reserve ratio
Answer:
The required reserve ratio is $17500 million.
Explanation:
The given deposit with the banks = $500 million
Required reserves = $35 million
We already have the deposits with the bank and the required reserves. Now we have to calculate the required reserve ratio and it can be calculated by multiplying the bank deposit with required reserves.
Required reserve ratio = Bank deposits × Required reserve
= 500 × 35
= $17500 million
What is unique about Costco’s channel management process? What components can other retailers borrow or implement?
Answer:
Its quick purchase and distribution of products and impeccable marketing.
Other retailers could implement or borrow are their branding strategies and eliminate costly and expensive management steps.
Explanation:
One of the main elements of Costo's success is its efficient and extremely competitive marketing strategy. In addition to this, product management strategies were also extremely effective in this company. This is because Costo manages the purchase and distribution of its products very quickly, preventing their shortages. This is done through purchases made in direct contact with suppliers, who send the products directly to the company's warehouses, which causes numerous steps in the supply process (made by producers and intermediaries) to be eliminated, thus ensuring speed and less economic expense.
Fill in the blanks to complete the sentence. A company has the following budget information: Sales: $118,800; COGS: $48,500; Depreciation expense: $1,500; Interest expense: $250; Other expenses: $41,880. If the company budgets 40% for income tax expense, the budgeted net income will be $
Answer:
16,002
Explanation:
A company has the following budget information
Sales = $118,000
COGS= $48,500
Depreciation expense= $1,500
Interest expense= $250
Other expense= $41,880
The company budgets 40% for income tax expense
= 40/100
= 0.4
The first step is to calculate the total expense incurred in the company
Total expense= COGS+depreciation expense+Interest expense+Other expenses
= $48,500+$1,500+$250+$41,880
= $92,130
The next step is to calculate the pre-tax income
Pre-tax income= Sales-total expenses
= $118,800-$92,130
= $26,670
The next step is to calculate the income tax expense
Income tax expense= $26,670×0.4
= $10,668
Therefore, the budgeted net income can be calculated as follows
Budgeted net income= Pre-tax income-income tax expense
= 26,670-10,668
= 16,002
Hence the budgeted net income is 16,002

EAR = 2.46%
Explanation:
(a) What is the APR on this loan?
Annual percentage rate (APR) is the yearly interest rate that a borrower pays or an investor earns. It is expressed in percentage term without taking compounding into consideration.
This can be calculated using the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) formula as follows:
APR = {[(Fees + Interest amount) / Principal / n] * 365} * 100 ……………… (1)
Where;
APR = ?
Fees = 0
Interest amount = Interest rate * Purchase price = 85% * $3,350,000 = $2,847,500
Principal = Purchase price = $3,350,000
n = Number of days in the mortgage term = 365 days * 35 years = 12,775 days
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
APR = {[(0 + 2,847,500) / 3,350,000 / 12,775] * 365} * 100
APR = 2.43%
(b) What is the EAR on this loan?
The Effective Annual Rate (EAR) refers to the interest rate earned by an investor in a year after the compounding has been adjusted for over a specified period.
This can be calculated using the Effective Annual Rate (EAR) formula as follows:
EAR = (1 + i/n)^n – 1 ..................... (2)
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
i = Stated annual interest rate = APR = 2.43%, or 0.0243
n = Number of compounding periods = 12
EAR = (1 + 0.0243/12)^12 – 1
EAR = 0.0246, or 2.46%
Widget Co has a market capitalization of $ 100M. It does a 5-for-1 stock split. It then does a 1- for-25 reverse stock split. Finally, it does a 35-for-1 stock split. Nothing else changes. What’s the new market cap?
Answer: $100M
Explanation:
This is a bit of a trick question but when you come into contact with such questions remember this, stock splits do not change the total Market Capitalization. Market Cap is the total cash value of the company's stock in the market. A split would increase the number of shares outstanding but the market cap will remain the same because the shares will decrease in value.
c. Using the midpoint formula, a decrease in price from $60 to $50 per bathing suit represents a(n) ______ decrease in price.
Answer: 18.18% decease
Explanation:
The Midpoint formula uses the average Price (as denominator) to calculate the change in price instead of the original price by the following formula;
% Decrease in price = Change in price / Average price
= (50 - 60) / ((60 + 50)/2)
= -10 / (55)
= -0.1818
= -18.18%
Using the midpoint formula, a decrease in price from $60 to $50 per bathing suit represents an 18.18% decrease in price.
Using the midpoint formula, a decrease in price from $60 to $50 per bathing suit represents a 18.18% decrease in price.
The Midpoint Formula
It calculates the percentage change in price of a good by dividing change in price to the average price of the good.
Following is the formula
% Decrease in price = Change in price / Average price
Solution:
old price = 60, new price = 50, Change in price = -10
⇒ (50 - 60) / ((60 + 50)/2)
⇒ -10 / (55)
⇒ -0.1818
⇒ -18.18%
Hence, by using the midpoint formula, we can say that bathing suit represents a -18.18% decrease in price.

Answer:
Break-even point (dollars)= $275,040
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit $120
Variable cost per unit $90
Fixed expense per month $68,760
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 68,760 / [(120 - 90)/120]
Break-even point (dollars)= $275,040
Which of these statements about corporate bonds is correct?
Answer:
Option A is the right answer.
Explanation:
Bonds seems to be debt security during which the lender is obliged to pay compensation at regular time intervals as well as pay the money back the balance of the shareholder at intellectual ability.
Option B: The raising of new bonds diminishes underlying ownership within the company. Incorrect issuance of new equities diminishes the company's current ownership.Option C: Debenture bonds attached leverage on the assets guaranteed. Incorrect debentures represent short term loans. Option D: Bonds focuses on providing funding for equities. Incorrect since debt funding is provided by Bonds.So that alternative A would be the appropriate choice.
Bonds are like IOUS with a promise to repay the amount borrowed, with interest, on a certain date. Thus, option A is correct.
Bonds appear to be a type of financial instrument where the lender is required to provide periodical payments of compensation as well as to reimburse the shareholder for their remaining amount at the investor's intellectual discretion.
An Iou-like financial obligation is a bond. By purchasing corporate bonds, investors are making a loan to the corporation issuing the connection. Bonds usually provide investors with a fixed rate of interest that is paid over a specified period of time at periodic times. In general, bonds are a less risky investment. Therefore, option A is correct.

You have just taken a job at a manufacturing company and have discovered that they use absorption costing to analyze product costs and subsequent cost-volume-profit decisions. You would like to introduce them to variable costing and explain to them why this costing method can be used and why it is helpful.
Compose a short email - 2 to 3 short paragraphs because the president it too busy to read anything longer than that - proposing a variable costing system and what that might mean for reports, analysis and comparisons. You could give a brief example if you feel that is necessary for your explanation to the president.
Answer and Explanation:
Respected Sir,
Sub: Absorption costing to analyze product costs and subsequent cost-volume-profit decisions
As per your requirement please find the explanation below:
Absorption costing is a process by which we add part of the fixed overhead to the production expense of the goods. If we do on a per-unit basis. Here we will compute by dividing the fixed costs by the number of units that we built and sold over the era. Whereas Variable costing includes fixed overhead as a lump sum instead of a per-unit price.
Under this process, all your variable costs like equipment, raw materials, and shipping are included. We will add the maximum fixed overhead costs for the duration. Such costs are not calculated on a per-unit basis. Rather than we deduct them as a lump-sum expense from your income amount.
Variable costing is really useful as it reveals the earnings after all the expenses are paid for the accounting period. While you would not have earned revenue for the goods we purchased as some may be in the inventory, we are showing you have paid all of your expenses for the time. We have excess revenue when you actually sell the finished goods in the warehouse.
The absorption approach is not all that effective as absorption costing will inflate the income figures excessively in any given span of accounting. Since you're not going to subtract any of your fixed costs as we did not sell any of us produced goods, our profit and loss report doesn't reflect the maximum expenses you've had for the time. Therefore, these results may mislead us when our profitability is analyzed.

Rates Systems
Worker Straight Piece Merrick's Differential Piece
A $35.10 $28.08
B $40.50 $32.40
C $54.00 $64.80
Explanation:
a) Data:
Normal rate per hour: Rs. 5.40
Standard time per unit: 1 minute
Output per day is as follows.
Worker A – 390 units
Worker B – 450 units
Worker C – 600 units
Working hours per day are 8
b) Calculations:
i) Standard units per day = 8 x 60 minutes = 480 units
ii) Earnings per day is as follows.
Worker A – 390 units :
Straight piece Wages = 390 / 60 x $5.40 = $35.10
Merrick's Earnings = 390/60 x $5.40 x 0.8 = $28.08
Worker B – 450 units :
Straight piece Wages = 450 / 60 x $5.40 = $40.50
Merrick's Earnings = 450/60 x $5.40 x 0.8 = $32.40
Worker C – 600 units:
Straight piece Earnings = 600 / 60 x $5.40 = $54
Merrick's Earnings = 600/60 x $5.40 x 1.2 = $64.80
c) The factor for multiplying the rate is obtained by dividing the units produced by the number of minutes in an hour, in order to convert output to a rate based on the hour.
d) The standard output per day helps Merrick in calculating the weights to be assigned to each worker and differentiate the slow worker from the superior worker (hence, the name: Merrick's Differential Piece Rate). The slow workers (those who produce below the standard output) are paid a rate lower than the standard rate by adding a weight of 0.8 as a punishment while the superior worker is assigned a weight of 1.20 as a reward for good performance. Meanwhile, a standard performer who produced 480 units will be paid the normal rate or weighed as 1.0.
