A yield curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between the yields and the maturities of securities issued by a given borrower in a given currency on a given date. The mathematical relationship between these two variables, the yield and the maturity, is called the term structure of interest rates, and the graphical relationship (plotted curve) is called the yield curve.
A yield curve can exhibit a variety of shapes, and the general shapes have been given a specific name. Identify the name of the yield curve that matches the pattern described as follows:
Description of the Yield Curve Name Given to Describe the Yield Curve
1. Short-term rates are relatively low, intermediate-term rates are much higher, and long-term rates are much lower.
2. Long-term rates are greater than short-term rates.
3. The yield curve exhibits a downward-sloping curve.
4. Normal yield curve Long-term rates are equal to short-term rates.
Answer:
1. Short-term rates are relatively low, intermediate-term rates are much higher, and long-term rates are much lower. - humped yield curve
2. Long-term rates are greater than short-term rates. - normal yield curve
3. The yield curve exhibits a downward-sloping curve - an inverted yield curve
4. Long-term rates are equal to short-term rates - flat yield curve
Explanation:
If long term interest rates are greater than short-term rates, this is an upward sloping demand curve, it is a normal yield curve
If the yield curve exhibits a downward-sloping curve, the short term rates are higher than the long term rates
If the long-term rates are equal to short-term rates, interest rate remains the same in the short and long term, the yield curve is flat

Company's inventory records for its retail division show the following at 31:
Beginning inventory Jan.1 90 units at $8 per unit
Jan.10 purchase 320 units at $11 per unit
Jan. 22 purchase 130 units at $12 per unit
At January 31, 190 units are still on hand. What is the cost of the ending inventory at January 31 if company uses the FIFO method?
a. $1,820
b. $2,220
c. $1,520
d. $1,440
Answer:
b. $2,220
Explanation:
Calculation for cost of the ending inventory
Ending inventory cost = (130*12) + (190-130)*11
Ending inventory cost =1,560+(60*11)
Ending inventory cost =1,560+660
Ending inventory cost = $2,220
Therefore cost of the ending inventory will be $2,220
Nishi Corporation prepares financial statements for each month-end. As part of its accounting process, estimated income taxes are accrued each month for 29% of the current month’s net income. The income taxes are paid in the first month of each quarter for the amount accrued for the prior quarter. The following information is available for the fourth quarter of the year just ended. When tax computations are completed on January 20 of the following year, Nishi determines that the quarter’s Income Taxes Payable account balance should be $33,926 on December 31 of the year just ended (its unadjusted balance is $29,826).

The production planner for Fine Coffees, Inc. produces two coffee blends: American (A) and British (B). Two of his resources are constrained:
Columbia beans, of which he can get at most 300 pounds (4,800 ounces) per week; and Dominican beans, of which he can get at most 200 pounds (3,200 ounces) per week.
Each pound of American blend coffee requires 12 ounces of Colombian beans and 4 ounces of Dominican beans, while a pound of British blend coffee uses 8 ounces of each type of bean.
Profits for the American blend are $2.00 per pound, and profits for the British blend are $1.00 per pound.
What is the objective function?
A. $1 A + $2 B = Z
B. $12 A + $8 B = Z
C. $2 A + $1 B = Z
D. $8 A + $12 B = Z
E. $4 A + $8 B = Z
Answer:
C. $2 A + $1 B = Z
Explanation:
Profits for American Blend: 2$ per pound
Profits for British Blend: 1$ per pound
If A is the quantity of American Blend in pounds and B is the quantity of British Blend in pounds, the Total Profit Z = 2A + 1B (This has to be maximized)

--to record cash collection--
unearned revenue 4,800,000 debit
construction revenue 4,800,000 credit
---to record earned revenue according to
percentage of completion method---
Explanation:
2021:
incurred 2,490,000
total cost estimated:
2,490,000 + 5,810,000 = 8,300,000
percentage: 2,490,000 / 8,300,000 = 30%
revenue 10,000,000 x 30% = 3,000,000
cost 2,490,000
gross profit 510,000
2022:
incurred 3,984,000
total cost: 2,490,000 + 3,984,000 + 1,826,000 = 8,300,000
percentage: 3,984,000 / 8,300,000 = 48%
revenue 10,000,000 x 48% = 4,800,000
cost 3,984,000
gross profit 816,000
2023:
completed:
remaining revenue: 100% - 48% - 30% = 22%
10,000,000 x 22% = 2,200,000
cost incurred 1,826,000
gross profit 374,000

Louise Mazzone, Production Manager for Stick to Your Knitting Inc., has just signed a contract to supply 1,000 hats and 2,000 scarves to the local Christmas market for $15,000. Each hat requires 50 meters of yarn and each scarf requires 100 meters. She has 50,000 meters of yarn available and an Acme knitting machine which can knit a hat in 8 minutes and a scarf in 10 minutes. 160 machine hours (9,600 minutes) are available. It costs $2 to make a hat and $1.50 to make a scarf. Louise also has the option to subcontract production at a cost of $3 per hat and $2 per scarf.
Here is the formulation of the problem.
Let MH be the number of hats made.
Let MS be the number of scarves made.
Let BH be the number of hats bought.
Let BS be the number of scarves bought.
Minimize Cost: 2MH+1.5MS+3BM+2BS
subject to
50MH+100MS ≤ 50,000 (Available Yarn)
8MH+10MS ≤ 9,600 (Machine Time)
MH+BH ≥1,000 (Hats Needed)
MS+BS ≥ 2,000 (Scarves Needed)
MH,MS,BH, BS ≥ 0 (Non-negativity)
Required:
Use Solver on this LP problem to determine the minimum cost of completing the contract.
Answer:
the optimal solution was to manufacture 1,000 hats and subcontract the production of 2,000 scarves.
total cost = (1,000 x $2) + (2,000 x $2) = $2,000 + $4,000 = $6,000
Explanation:
MH be the number of hats made.
Let MS be the number of scarves made.
Let BH be the number of hats bought.
Let BS be the number of scarves bought.
Minimize Cost: 2MH + 1.5MS + 3BH +2BS
subject to
50MH+100MS ≤ 50,000 (Available Yarn) 8MH+10MS ≤ 9,600 (Machine Time) MH+BH ≥1,000 (Hats Needed) MS+BS ≥ 2,000 (Scarves Needed) MH,MS,BH, BS ≥ 0 (Non-negativity)We are given all the constraints and the cost minimizing equation, therefore, all we need to do is plug the numbers into solver (excel function);
the optimal solution was to manufacture 1,000 hats and subcontract the production of 2,000 scarves.
total cost = (1,000 x $2) + (2,000 x $2) = $2,000 + $4,000 = $6,000
Seth repays a 30-year loan with a payment at the end of each year. Each of the first 20 payments is 1200, and each of the last 10 payments is 900. Interest on the loan is at an annual effective rate of ii, i>0i>0. The interest portion of the 11th payment is twice the interest portion of the 21st payment. Calculate the interest portion of the 21st payment.
Answer:
The interest portion of the 21st payment = 300
Explanation:
Interest component of 11th payment = Interest on the remaining loan at the end pf 10thperiod
Int(11) = 900(1 - v^20) + 300 (1 - v^10)
Int(11) = 1200 - 300v^10 - 900v^20
Interest compound of 21st payment = Interest on the remaining loan at the end of 20th period
Int(21) = 900 ( 1 - v^10)
Hence, Int(11) = 2 (Int(21)
1200 - 300v^10 - 900v^20 = 2 [900 ( 1 - v^10)]
1200 - 300v^10 - 900v^20 - 1800 + 1800v^10 = 0
-600 + 1500v^10 - 900v^20 = 0
9v20 - 15v^10 + 6 = 0
By solving above quadratic equation, we get
V^10 = 2/3
Int(21) = 900 ( 1 - V^10)
Int(21) = 900 ( 1 - 2/3)
Int(21) = 900 (1/3)
Int(21) = 300

Costs associated with the manufacture of miniature high-sensitivity piezoresistive pressure transducers is, $73,000 per year. A clever industrial engineer found that by spending $16,000 now to reconfigure the production line and reprogram two of the robotic arms, the cost will go down to $58,000 next year and $52,000 in years 2 through 5. Using an interest rate of 10% per year, determine the present worth of the savings due to the reconfiguration. (Hint: Include the reconfiguration cost.)
Answer:
$58,149
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the present worth of the savings
First step is to calculate for Present worth before
Present worth before= 73,000(P/A,10%,5)
Present worth before= 73,000(3.7908)
Present worth before= $276,728
Second step is to calculate for Present worth after
Present worth after= 16,000 + 58,000(P/F,10%,1) + 52,000(P/A,10%,4)(P/F,10%,1)
Present worth after= 16,000 + 58,000(0.9091) + 52,000(3.1699)(0.9091)
Present worth after=16,000+52,728+149,851
Present worth after= $218,579
Last step is to calculate for Present worth of savings using this formula
Present worth of savings=Present worth before-Present worth after
Let plug in the formula
Present worth of savings = 276,728–218,579
Present worth of savings= $58,149
Therefore the present worth of the savings will be $58,149
