Stellar Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 600 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory280$31$ 8,680 April 15 purchase4503716,650 April 23 purchase 270 40 10,800 1,000 $36,130 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.
Answer:
inventory - $13,120
cost of goods sold - $23,010
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
the cost of goods sold would be taken from the cost of the newest purchases.
April 23 purchase 270 x 40 = $ 10,800
600 - 270 = 330
April 15 purchase ; 330 x $37 = $12,210
cost of goods sold = $12,210 + $ 10,800 = $23,010
Inventory = the remaining part of the April 15 purchase and beginning inventory
450 - 330 = 120 x $37 = $4440
$4440 + 8,680 = $13,120

Through which strategy do you believe Lockheed Martin would be most profitable to pursue diversification?
Answer: Related diversification
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Lockheed Martin has been a recognized brand in technology for aeronautics and space systems fordecades. The U.S. government is Lockheed Martin’s main customer. Recently, as large-scale military actions have decreased across the globe, the government has been consuming less of Lockheed Martin’sofferings.
As a top of executive of Lockheed Martin, you’ve been asked to consider the opportunities to diversify into new markets in order to remain competitive and continue to increase profits.
Through which strategy do you believe Lockheed Martin would be most profitable to pursue diversification?
Related diversification occurs when a business or an organization expands its activities into similar product lines that to the ones it currently offers.
An example of related diversification is when a computer manufacturer starts making calculators.
By pursuing related diversification, Martin is exploring innovative products which are still within aeronautics scope.

A record collector has agreed to sell her entire collection to a historical museum in three years at a price of $100,000. The current appropriate interest rate is 7 percent. At what price should she value her collection today
Answer:
$81,629.79
Explanation:
According to the situation, the solution to the price that valued her collection today is as follows
Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years
$100,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.07)^3
So, the present value is
= $100,000 ÷ (1.07)^3
= $81,629.79
Hence, the price she valued her collection today is $81,629
Based on the information given the price should she value her collection today is $81,629.79.
Using this formula
Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^Time
Using the formula to solve for PV
$100,000 = PV× (1 + 0.07)³
PV= $100,000 ÷ (1.07)³
PV=$100,000÷1.225043
PV= $81,629.79
Inconclusion the price should she value her collection today is $81,629.79.

You want to create a portfolio equally as risky as the market, and you have $500,000 to invest. Information about the possible investments is given below: Asset Investment Beta Stock A $ 146,000 .91 Stock B $ 134,000 1.36 Stock C 1.51 Risk-free asset How much will you invest in Stock C
Answer:
Investment in stock C is $122450.3311 rounded off to $122450.33
Explanation:
A portfolio which is equally as risky as market should have a beta equal to the beta of the market as beta is a measure of the riskiness. The beta of market is always equal to 1. The formula for beta of a portfolio is as follows:
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta A + wB * Beta B + ... + wN * Beta N
Where w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio.
Let investment in stock C be x
1 = 146000/500000 * 0.91 + 134000/500000 * 1.36 + x/500000 * 1.51
1 = 0.26572 + 0.36448 + 1.51x / 500000
1 - 0.6302 = 1.51x / 500000
0.3698 * 500000 = 1.51x
1844900 / 1.51 = x
x = $122450.3311 rounded off to $122450.33
Use the aggregate expenditures model and assume an economy is in equilibrium at $5 trillion which is $250 billion below full-employment GDP. If the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.60, full-employment GDP can be reached if government spending:
Answer:
Government must reduce spending by 100 billion to reach full employment
Explanation:
First, let plug in the MPC to find the spending multiplier
Spending Multiplier = 1 / 1 - MPC
Spending Multiplier = 1 / 1-0.6
Spending Multiplier = 1 / 0.4
Spending Multiplier = 2.5
We also know that we are looking to change the equilibrium output (Y) by -250 billion
ΔG * Multiplier = ΔY / Multiplier
= -250 billion / 2.5
= -100 billion
Therefore, government must reduce spending by 100 billion to reach full employment

An optimum that occurs as a corner solution A. cannot exhaust the budget constraint. B. includes only one good. C. cannot be an equilibrium. D. includes the exact same amounts of each good.
Answer:
B. includes only one good.
Explanation:
A corner solution is a microeconomics concept, which is used to illustrate the graphical representation of a situation where an individual wouldn't do some things at any cost or for any price.
Optimum is usually experienced on the consumer graph at the point where the indifference curve (IC) is just tangential to the consumer's budget constraint. Thus, the corner solution lies at the non-zero interior, which then means that none of the other goods is contained in the optimum.
Hence, an optimum that occurs as a corner solution includes only one good.
For instance, Tracy saying she wouldn't buy a XYZ phone for any price, or Sarah saying she would visit a museum no matter how much it will cost her are some examples of corner solution.

4. Yes the bond proceeds will always be less than the face amount of the bonds in a situation where the contract rate is less than the market rate of interest because if we have a high market rate than the coupon, this would mean that the bonds will sell at a discount
5. Computation for the price of $37,282,062 received for the bonds using the present value tables
PV factor, 4%, 20 periods =0.4564
PV annuity factor, 4%, 20 periods =13.590
Present Value (Face value) = $40,000,000 x 0.4564 = $18,256,000
PV of coupon payments = $1,400,000 x 13.590 = $19,026,000
Therefore the bond's market price will be:
Present Value (Face value) +PV of coupon payments
Bond's market price = $18,256,000 + $19,026,000
b
Bond's market price = $37,282,000

$1,348,316Explanation:
machine's cost $800,000
useful life 4 years, with $52,000 salvage value
depreciation per year = ($800,000 - $52,000) / 4 years = $187,000
net income = $2,640,000 - $512,000 - $704,000 - $187,000 - $656,000 - $192,000 = $389,000 x 0.7 = $272,300
net cash flow = $272,300 + $187,000 = $459,300
payback period = $800,000 / $459,300 = 1.74 years
accounting rate of return = $272,300 / $800,000 = 34%
NPV = -$800,000 + ($459,300 x 3.7171 annuity factor) + ($511,300/1.03⁵) = -$800,000 + $1,707,264 + $441,052 = $1,348,316

Q3) At an output level of 45,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 2.79. If output rises to 48,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be
Answer: 18.6%
Explanation:
Degree of operating leverage = % change in Operating cash flow / % change in output
% change in Output
= [tex]\frac{48,000 - 45,000}{45,000}[/tex]
= 6.7%
Degree of operating leverage = % change in Operating cash flow / % change in output
2.79 = % change in Operating cash flow/ 6.7%
% change in Operating cash flow = 2.79 * 6.7%
% change in Operating cash flow = 18.6%

The following data relate to direct materials costs for February: Materials cost per yard: standard, $1.98; actual, $2.03 Standard yards per unit: standard, 4.69 yards; actual, 4.93 yards Units of production: 9,300 Calculate the direct materials price variance.
Answer:
-$2,292.45 Unfavorable
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of direct materials price variance is shown below:-
Material price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) × Actual quantity
= ($1.98 - $2.03) × 9,300 × 4.93
= -$0.05 × 9,300 × 4.93
= -$2,292.45 Unfavorable
Therefore for computing the material price variance we simply applied the above formula.
"The "circuit breaker" on the domestic equities markets to reduce price volatility is INITIATED when the Standard and Poor's 500 Index falls by:"
Answer:
7%
Explanation:
In Microeconomics, circuit breaker can be defined as a financial regulatory measure or instrument used by stock exchange organizations to temporarily halt trading on an exchange and to prevent stock market crash. The circuit breaker is also referred to as trading curb and it is used to curb panic selling in the stock markets, which eventually prevents collosal losses and speculative profits in a very short period of time.
The "circuit breaker" on the domestic equities markets to reduce price volatility is INITIATED when the Standard and Poor's 500 Index falls by 7%. The circuit breaker rule states that, if the Standard and Poor's 500 Index falls by 7% from the closing price of the previous day: the listed equity on the domestic equities markets will be shut down for 15 minutes, so as to mitigate price volatility. The 7% is the level one (1) of the circuit breaker levels for the the Standard and Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500 Index) on the stock markets.
Sinking fund bonds: A. Are bearer bonds. B. Are registered bonds. C. Require equal payments of both principal and interest over the life of the bond issue. D. Require the issuer to set aside assets at specified amounts to retire the bonds at maturity. E. Decline in value over time.
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
Sinking funds require the issuer(borrower) to set aside assets at specified amounts to retire the bonds at maturity. Sinking fund helps the issuer to secure a bond with lower yield.

With adaptive expectations, what is the inevitable consequence of an unexpected, active, expansionary monetary policy in the short and long run
Answer:
D. lower unemployment in the short run, higher inflation in the long run
Explanation:
Remember, like it's name, monetary policy affects the money supply of a country, which in turn influences the Interest rate and inflation rate.
By means of expansionary monetary policy, an economy may experience reduced interests rates, which leads to lower unemployment in the short run. However, in the long run the high inflation rate may begin to occur leading to adaptive expectations.
If per capita output falls by 2 percent and population grows by 3 percent, output: Multiple Choice grows by 1 percent. grows by 5 percent. falls by 1 percent. falls by 5 percent.
Answer:
grows by 1 percent.
Explanation:
The Growth rate of per capita output refers to the relationship between the growth rate of output and the growth rate of population i.e by taking the difference between them
In mathematically,
The Growth rate of per capita output = Growth rate of output - a growth rate of population
-2% = growth rate of output - 3%
So, the growth rate of output is 1%.
Therefore it grows by 1%
A stock has a beta of 1.28, the expected return on the market is 12%, and the risk-free rate is 4.5%. Using the CAPM, what is the expected return on this stock
Answer:
14.10%
Explanation:
The calculation of expected return on this stock is shown below:-
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 4.5% + 1.28 × (12% - 4.5%)
= 4.5% + 1.28 × 7.5%
= 4.5% + 9.6%
= 14.10%
The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called as the market risk premium
hence, the expected rate of return is 14.10%

Average fixed cost rev: 06_26_2018 Multiple Choice equals marginal cost when average total cost is at its minimum. may be found by adding average variable cost and average total cost. graphs as a U-shaped curve. declines continually as output increases.
Answer: declines continually as output increases.
Explanation:
The Fixed costs are are constant and do not change throughout the production process. This means that on Average, they will keep dropping as more output is produced.
The formula for Average Fixed Costs;
Average Fixed Costs = Fixed Costs/ Output
From the formula you will see that as output increases, the Average Fixed Cost reduces because the Fixed Costs will remain the same while being divided by a larger number each time output increases.

Income Summary Account $33,000 (credit)
Explanation:
The income summary account is closed off to the Income Statement or Profit and loss Account.
It is credited with an entry to Profit and loss Account to close off the debit balance of $33,000 whilst the Profit and loss Account is debited (expensed) with this amount.
4. It is estimated that you pay $2,000 per year into the Social Security System (FICA) over your 40-year work span. For simplicity, assume that your annuity of $2,000 per year, starting with your 26th birthday and continuing through your 65th birthday. The deposit is done at the end of the year. However, the government decides to provide you the annual withdrawal only after the end of 67th birthday. If the government interest rate is 6% per year, what equal annual withdrawal you can do, if you expect to live till the end of 86th birthday
Answer:
$30,320.94
Explanation:
first we must determine the future value of your social security contributions:
when you are 65, your contributions will be worth = $2,000 x 154.762 (FV annuity factor, 6%, 40 periods) = $309,524
now we must determine the value of the contributions when you are 67:
FV = $309,524 x (1 + 6%)² = $347,781.17
you expect to live 20 more years, so we need to determine the annuity payment:
annuity payment = principal / PV annuity factor, 6%, 20 periods = $347,781.17 / 11.470 = $30,320.94
The risk-free rate is 4.5 percent and the market expected return is 10.8 percent. What is the expected return of a stock that has a beta of 1.30
Answer:
Expected return = 12.69%
Explanation:
The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model for estimating the return on a stock.. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. Systematic risks are those which affect all economic actors in the market, they include factors like changes in interest rate, inflation, etc. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM,
E(r)= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
E(r)- expected return, Rf-risk-free rate , β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.
Using this model, we can work out the value of beta as follows:
β-1.30, Rf- 4.5%, Rm = 10.8%
E(r) = 4.5% + 1.30 × (10.8 - 4.5)%= 12.69
Expected return = 12.69%
In the sequential negotiation games:_____.
A. You can induce a change in the strategy in your opponent only if your threat is believed.
