Answer:
1.
The firm increases its dividend payout ratio.This will increase the need for external funds because with more funds going towards dividends, there will be less funds available to fund operations. The company will therefore be more probable of being in need of Additional funds.
The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast.If the firm's inventory turnover increases, it means that the firm is taking longer to sell off inventory. This will mean that the company will have to invest more in working capital to maintain these inventory levels. This will lead to a higher probability of them needing additional funds.
2. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.
Even though they are paid after-tax, they still eat into the funds that the business can be able to set aside to fund operations. So when dividends are paid, the need for AFN increases as well.
Corporation, a manufacturing company, is analyzing its cost structure in a project to achieve some cost savings. Which of the following statements is/are correct? I. The cost of the direct materials in 's products is considered a variable cost. II. The cost of the depreciation of 's plant machinery is considered a variable cost because uses an accelerated depreciation method for both book and income tax purposes. III. The cost of electricity for 's manufacturing facility is considered a fixed cost, even if the cost of the electricity has both variable and fixed components.
Answer:
The cost of the depreciation of plant's machinery is considered a variable cost because machinery uses an accelerated depreciation method for book and income tax purposes
Explanation:
A variable cost is an expense that is proportional to the production output. That is variable costs increase or decrease with respect to a company's production. This cost rise as production rises and falls as production falls. Costs of raw materials and packaging are examples of variable costs.

The FOMC has instructed the FRBNY Trading Desk to purchase $820 million in U.S. Treasury securities. The Federal Reserve has currently set the reserve requirement at 5 percent of transaction deposits. Assume U.S. banks withdraw all excess reserves and give out loans. a. Assume also that borrowers eventually return all of these funds to their banks in the form of transaction deposits. What is the full effect of this purchase on bank deposits and the money supply? b. What is the full effect of this purchase on bank deposits and the money supply if borrowers return only 95 percent of these funds to their banks in the form of transaction deposits? (For all requirements, enter your answers in billions. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places. (i.e., 5,500,000,000 should be entered as 5.50).)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. . Assume also that borrowers eventually return all of these funds to their banks in the form of transaction deposits. What is the full effect of this purchase on bank deposits and the money supply?
Based on the above scenario, there'll be an increase in bank deposits and money supply by $16.4 billion.
= (1/5%) × $820 million
= (1/0.05) × $820 million
= 20 × $820 million
= 16,400,000,000
= 16.4 billion
b.What is the full effect of this purchase on bank deposits and the money supply if borrowersreturn only 95 percent of these funds to their banks in the form of transaction deposits?
This will lead to an increase in the bank deposits and money supply by $8.2 billion
= [1/(0.05+(1-0.95)] × $820 million
= [1/0.05+0.05] × $820 million
= (1/0.1) × $820 million
= 10 × $820 million
= $8.2 billion
Item7 1.25 points Return to questionItem 7Item 7 1.25 points In 1898, the first Green Jacket Golf Championship was held. The winner’s prize money was $230. In 2018, the winner’s check was $2,640,000. a. What was the annual percentage increase in the winner’s check over this period? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. If the winner’s prize increases at the same rate, what will it be in 2056? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)
Answer:
a. 8.10%
b. $50,930,776.45
Explanation:
a. The 2018 prize money can be expressed as a compounded amount of the 1898 amount in the manner;
2,640,000 = 230 * ( 1 + rate) ^ 120 years
Year 2018 - 1898 = 120 years
Solving for rate;
2,640,000/230 = ( 1 + rate) ^ 120 years
( 1 + rate) = (2,640,000/230) ^ 1/120
1 + rate = 1.081016
rate = 0.0810
= 8.10%
b. Number of periods = 2056 - 2018
= 38 years
= 2,640,000 * ( 1 + 8.10%) ^ 38
= $50,930,776.45
Matt inherited as a trust a fifteen-year annuity-immediate with annual payments. He has been told that the annuity payments earn compound interest at a level rate and that at the end of fifteen years, their accumulated value will be $37,804.39. He has further been assured that figured at this same rate of interest, the value of his inheritance was $15,077.10. The trust executor will not reveal the amount of the annual payments. Determine this amount and also the annual effective interest rate earned by the annuity payments.
Answer:
effective annual interest rate = 6.32%
annual payment = $1,585
Explanation:
I believe that this is an ordinary annuity, so we can use the future and present value of an ordinary annuity formula:
FV = annual payment x FV annuity factor, so annual payment = FV / FV annuity factor
PV = annual payment x PV annuity factor, so annual payment = PV / PV annuity factor
we can equal both equations:
PV / PV annuity factor = FV / FV annuity factor
FV / PV = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor
$37,804.39 / $15,077.10 = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor
2.5074 = FV annuity factor / PV annuity factor
the easiest way to solve this is to use an annuity table since we already know that there are 15 periods (I used an excel spreadsheet):
%,15 periods FV annuity factor PV annuity factor FV/PV
1 16.097 13.865 1.1609
2 17.293 12.849 1.34586
3 18.599 11.938 1.55797
4 20.024 11.118 1.80104
5 21.579 10.380 2.07890
6 23.276 9.7122 2.3966

9 29.361 8.0607 3.6425
10 31.772 7.6061 4.4112
The interest rate must be between 6 and 7%:
%,15 periods FV annuity factor PV annuity factor FV/PV
6 23.276 9.7122 2.3966
6.1 23.45404 9.6461 2.43145

6.32 23.85135 9.51236 2.5074
6.4 23.99773 9.46337 2.53585
effective interest rate = 6.32% per year
annual payment = $37,804.39 / 23.85135 = $1,585
Company X classifies the total transportation costs paid to deliver goods to customers as a mixed cost with respect to the units sold. During the current year, the units sold have decreased unexpectedly, but are still within the relevant range. Which of the following statement is (are) correct about the transportation costs? Group of answer choices The per unit transportation costs increase as the units sold decrease. The total transportation costs increase proportionally to the decrease of units sold. The per unit variable component of transportation costs remains constant. The per unit transportation costs decrease proportionally to the decrease of units sold. The total transportation costs decrease proportionally to the decrease of units sold.
Answer:
The per unit transportation costs increase as the units sold decrease.
The per unit variable component of transportation costs remains constant.
Explanation:
mixed costs are costs that share both a fixed component and a variable one, e.g. transportation costs generally are mixed because depreciation, insurance and sometimes even maintenance costs are fixed, while gasoline and drivers' wages are variable.
If total units transported decrease, then the fixed part of transportation costs will increase on a per unit basis. Even if the variable part remains stable, total costs per unit will still increase.
We can plug in some numbers:
Fixed expenses = $1,000 per month
variable costs = $2 per package
total packages sent during month 1 = 500
total costs = $1,000 + ($2 x 500) = $2,000
costs per unit = $4
if suddenly the number of packages delivered drops to 300
total costs = $1,000 + ($2 x 300) = $1,600
costs per unit = $5.33
a 40% decrease in the number of packages delivered resulted in a 33.33% increase in costs per unit delivered.

Answer:
Customer and Product Margin under Activity-based Costing and Traditional Costing
True Statements:
1. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the customer margin under activity based costing will decrease.
2. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the product margin under a traditional costing system will be unaffected.
Explanation:
Customer Margin is the difference between the total revenue generated from a customer minus the acquisition and service costs. In the above instance, the customer margin decreases because of the costs of servicing the customer's frequent orders. Customer service costs are usually higher with more frequent orders, when activity-based costing is employed because frequent orders increase the activity level and the associated costs.
Product Margin is the profit margin generated per product. It is the markup on the cost of the product. It shows the difference in amount between the selling price and the manufacturing cost. Frequent orders cannot change the product margin under the traditional costing technique unlike it does with the activity-based costing technique.
Answer:
Customer and Product Margin under Activity-based Costing and Traditional Costing

Answer:
a. 0.557 times
b. 8.72%
c. 0.16
Explanation:
a. Asset turnover = Net sales ÷ Average total assets
We will calculate the average total asset first
Average total asset = [Beginning total assets - ending total assets)] / 2
= [(930.9 + 920.1)] / 2
= 925.5
Asset turnover = 515.7/925.5
= 0.557 times
b. Return on assets = Net income/Average total assets
= 80.7/925.5
= 0.087196
= 0.087196 × 100
= 8.72%
c. Profit margin on sales = Net income/Net sales
= 80.7/515.7

Tickets Now contracts with the producer of Riverdance to sell tickets online. Tickets Now charges each customer a fee of $4 per ticket and receives $10 per ticket from the producer. Tickets Now does not take control of the ticket inventory. Average ticket price for the event is $150. How much revenue should Tickets Now recognize for each Riverdance ticket sold? Group of answer choices $14 because both the fee from the customer and the producer are earned $150 because the $140 is cost of goods sold paid to the Riverdance producer None of the above $186 because the $140 is cost of goods sold paid to the Riverdance producer $4 because the $10 from the producer is similar to a negative cost of goods sold
Answer:
The correct option: $14 because both the fee from the customer and the producer are earned
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that Tickets Now charges each of their customer a fee amount of $4 per ticket in which they receives the amount of $10 per ticket from the producer which means that the amount of revenue Tickets should Now recognize for each Riverdance ticket they sold will be $14 ($10 per ticket +$4 per ticket) because both the fee from the customer and the producer are earned.

Is some number of occupational illnesses and injuries an acceptable part of doing business? Why or why not? Explain your answers.
Answer:
Explanation:
No injury or illness is ever an acceptable part of doing business. It reflects poorly on the company if they don't take the proper steps to prevent illness and injury. OSHA works hard to make sure work places are safe, and levy large fines if they don't meet safety requirements. In addition, if an injury or illness occurs the company can be sued, depending on the severity, the company could go out of business.

You are faced with the probability distribution of the HPR on the stock market index fund given in Spreadsheet 5.1 of the text. Suppose the price of a put option on a share of the index fund with exercise price of $110 and time to expiration of 1 year is $12, and suppose the risk-free interest rate is 6% per year. You are contemplating investing $107.55 in a 1-year CD and simultaneously buying a call option on the stock market index fund with an exercise price of $110 and expiration of 1 year. What is the probability distribution of your dollar return at the end of the year
Answer:
Follows are the solution to this question:
Explanation:
The price of one share plus one choice for the index fund is $112. Its distribution of HPR probabilities on the portfolio is:
[tex]\boxed{\left \begin{array}{cccc} \text{economy states} & \text{Probability}& \text{Endig price+Put+Dividend}&HPR\\ Excellent &0.25& \$ 131.00& \frac{(131-112)}{112} = 17\% \\Good &0.45&\$ 114.00& \frac{(114-112)}{112} = 1.8 \% \\poor &0.25& \$ 113.00& \frac{(113.50 -112)}{112} = 1.3 \% \\ Crash&0.5& \$ 112.00& \frac{(112-112)}{112} = 0.0 \% \end{array}\right}[/tex] The chances of dollar return distributions on the CD plus call option can be defined in the attached file please find it:
cite three real life situations where quadratic equations are illustrated. Formulate quadratic equations out of these situations then describe each.
Answer:
I want to know the sides of a pizza if the width is 9 inches larger than the height and the area is 250 squared inches.
My brother wants to know how long his bed is if it has an area of 2m and the width is .5m larger than the height.
My father wants to know whats the size of a football field if the area is 57,600 square feet given that the length is 200 ft larger than the width.
Explanation:
To solve this you just have to think on the unknown value and represent it as "X" in the first problem we do not know the length or width but we have a values given between them, so if "x" is the height then the width becomes "x+9" so those two values multiplied become the area.
[tex]x(x+9)=250\\x^{2} +9x=250\\x^{2} +9x-250=0\\[/tex]
With this you just keep solving the others.
My brother wants to know how long his bed is if it has an area of 2m and the width is .5m larger than the height.
2m as an area and the height is "x"
[tex]x(x+-5)=2\\x^{2} +.5x=2\\x^{2} +.5x-2=0\\[/tex]
My father wants to know whats the size of a football field if the area is 57,600 square feet given that the length is 200 ft larger than the width.
57,600 is the area and width will be "x"
[tex]x(x+200)=57,600\\x^{2} +200x=57,600\\x^{2} +200x-57,600=0\\[/tex]

For the next fiscal year, you forecast net income of and ending assets of . Your firm's payout ratio is Your beginning stockholders' equity is and your beginning total liabilities are . Your non-debt liabilities such as accounts payable are forecasted to increase by . Assume your beginning debt is . What amount of equity and what amount of debt would you need to issue to cover the net new financing in order to keep your debt-equity ratio constant? The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 temporarily allows 100% bonus depreciation (effectively expensing capital expenditures). However, we will still include depreciation forecasting in this chapter and in these problems in anticipation of the return of standard depreciation practices during your career. The amount of equity to issue will be
Answer:
Since the numbers are missing, I looked for a similar question:
"you forecast net income of $50,000 and ending assets of $500,000. Your firm's payout ratio is 10%. Your beginning stockholders equity is $300,000 and your beginning total liabilities are $120,000. Your non-debt liabilities such as accounts payable are forecasted to increase by $10,000. What is you net new financing needed for next year?"
we must first determine the debt to assets ratio = $120,000 / ($300,000 + $120,000) = 0.2857
since total assets are expected to be $500,000, then total liabilities + equity will also = $500,000 (basic accounting equation)
since debt to equity ratio should remain constant, then:
total liabilities = $500,000 x 0.2857 = $142,850
total equity = $500,000 - $142,850 = $357,150
we can verify our calculations:
old debt to equity ratio = $120,000 / $300,000 = 0.4
new debt to equity ratio = $142,820 / $357,150 = 0.4
since your current equity = $300,000, you will need to raise $57,150
your current liabilities + future accounts payable = $120,000 + $10,000 = $130,000, therefore, you will need to issue debt for $142,850 - $130,000 = $12,850
Jamie's Motor Home Sales currently sells 1,100 Class A motor homes, 2,200 Class C motor homes, and 2,800 pop-up trailers each year. Jamie is considering adding a mid-range camper and expects that if she does so she can sell 1,500 of them. However, if the new camper is added, Jamie expects that her Class A sales will decline to 850 units while the Class C camper sales decline to 2,000. The sales of pop-ups will not be affected. Class A motor homes sell for an average of $140,000 each. Class C homes are priced at $59,500 and the pop-ups sell for $5,000 each. The new mid-range camper will sell for $42,900. What is the erosion cost of adding the mid-range camper
Answer:
$46,900,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the erosion cost of adding the mid-range camper
Erosion cost = [(1,100 - 850) × $140,000] + [(2,200 -2,000) × $59,500]
Erosion cost =(250×$140,000)+(200×$59,500)
Erosion cost =$35,000,000+$11,900,000
Erosion cost = $46,900,000
Therefore the erosion cost of adding the mid-range camper will be $46,900,000
