Campbell Co. has net sales revenue of $1,320,000, cost of goods sold of $760,700, and all other expenses of $297,000. The beginning balance of stockholders' equity is $407,000 and the beginning balance of fixed assets is $368,000. The ending balance of stockholders' equity is $607,000 and the ending balance of fixed assets is $396,000. The fixed asset turnover ratio is closest to:
Answer:
3.46
Explanation:
Calculation for Campbell Co. fixed asset turnover ratio
First step is to find the Average net fixed assets
Using this formula
Average Fixed assets= Fixed assets Beginning balance +Fixed assets ending balance /2
Let plug in the formula
Average Fixed assets= $368,000 + $396,000/ 2
Average Fixed assets=$764,000/2
Average Fixed assets=$382,000
Second step is to calculate for the Fixed asset turnover
Using this formula
Fixed asset turnover = Net revenue ÷ Average net fixed assets
Let plug in the formula
Fixed asset turnover= $1,320,000 ÷ $382,000
Fixed asset turnover= 3.46
Therefore Campbell Co. fixed asset turnover ratio will be 3.46
Suppose you deposit your paycheck, drawn on another bank. The total money supply in the banking system will ___________ because:
a. Assets of your bank would increase by more than the amount withdrawn from the other bank.
b. An increase in the assets of your bank by the amount of your paycheck would simply decrease the assets of another bank by the same amount.
c. Assets of the other bank would decrease by a fraction of the amount deposited at your bank.
Answer:
Option B, An increase in the assets of your bank by the amount of your paycheck would simply decrease the assets of another bank by the same amount, is correct.
Explanation:
The total money supply in the banking system will remain the “same” because it is given that paycheck is drawn from another bank. So, if a person withdraws money from another bank it implies that there is a decrease in money supply in the banking system and when the cheque is deposited in the other bank so again the money supply will increase in the banking system. However, the amount of money supply will remain the same. Therefore, option B is the right answer.
nterest rates on 2-year Treasury securities are currently 6.0%, while 6-year Treasury securities yield 6.5%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what does the market believe that 4-year securities will be yielding 2 years from now
Answer:
The market believes that 4-years from now, the 4-year securities will be 6.75%
Explanation:
We proceed as follows using the pure expectations theory .
The theory states that the future rates are exclusively represented by the forward rate.
Mathematically;
(1 + .065)^6 = (1 + .^206)2 * (1 + x)^4
1.4591 = 1.1236 * (1 + x)^4
Divide both sides by 1.1236
1.2986 = (1 + x)^4
Take both sides to the 1/4 power to get rid of the power of 4
1.0675= 1 + x
x = .0675 or 6.75%
4. Calculate the required rate of return for Manning Enterprises assuming that investors expect 3.5% rate of inflation in the future. The real risk-free rate is 2.5%, and the market risk premium is 6.5% Manning has a beta of 1.7, and its realized rate of return has averaged 13.5% over the past 5 years.
Answer: 17.05%
Explanation:
Given the variables available, the method to be used to calculate the required return is the Capital Asset Pricing Model with the formula;
Required Return = Nominal Risk-free rate + beta ( Market premium)
Nominal Risk-free rate = real risk-free rate + inflation
= 2.5% + 3.5%
= 6%
Required Return = 6% + 1.7 ( 6.5%)
Required Return = 6% + 11.05%
Required Return = 17.05%

For the month of July, Jacobs Company incurs a direct materials cost of $6,000 for 6,000 gallons of paint produced in its Mixing Department. It also incurs conversion costs of $1,470 with 70% completed. If the conversion cost per equivalent unit was $0.25 per gallon in June, what is the difference in the conversion cost per equivalent unit between the month of June and July.
Solution :
First Calculate the Total Equivalent Units of Production for Conversion Cost for July
Total Equivalent Units = 6,000 × 70%
= 4,200
Then Calculate the Cost per Equivalent Unit for July
Cost per Equivalent Unit = Total Cost / Total Equivalent Units
= $1,470 / 4,200
= $0.35
Difference = $0.35 - $0.25
= $0.10

Rizio Co. purchases a machine for $12,500, terms 210, n60, FOB shipping point. Rizio paid within the discount period and took the $250 discount. Transportation costs of $360 were paid by Rizio. The machine required mounting and power connections costing $895. Another $475 is paid to assemble the machine, and $40 of materials are used to get it into operation. During installation, the machine was damaged and $180 worth of repairs were made. Compute the cost recorded for this machine.
Answer:
Cost of machine= $14,200
Explanation:
According to International Accounting standards(IAS) 16 property plan and equipment (PPE), the cost of an asset is the purchase cost plus other costs of bringing it to the intended working conditions.
So we will add the purchase cost to the installation cost , freight charges.
Note that the cost of the power connections, assembling and material used for installations all represent cost associated to bring the machine into ready for use.
Cost of machine = (12,500 - 250) + 360 + 895 + 475 + 40 + 180= 14,200
Cost of machine= $14,200

Credit Paid-in In Excess of Common Stock $876,000
To record the issuance of 146,000 shares of common stock, par $10 at $16 per share.
December 15:
Debit Retained Earnings $445,000
Stock Dividends Payable $445,000
To record the declaration of a 10% stock dividend.
Explanation:
a) Stockholders of record on December 31, 2020:
Number of shares in issue at beginning 299,000
Number of shares issued on July 1 146,000
Total 445,000
10% of 445,000 = 44,500 shares
b) Stock Dividends declared on December 15 will result to the issuance of 44,500 shares to stockholders. To finance this stock dividend, the Retained Earnings account is debited while the Stock Dividends Payable is credited. When the shares are issued on January 15, the Stock Dividends Payable (Distributable) will be debited and the Common Stock credited with the par value. The market price of $17 does not affect the company's records.

3. Graincorp, a U.S. agricultural company, produces corn syrup at a plant in Iowa on September 25, 2020. It sells the corn syrup to Crunchy's for use in the production of cereal that will be made in the United States in 2020
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceeds import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
The purchase of chocolate would be added to GDP as part of consumption spending on non durable items.
the purchase of the antique silver platter would not be added as part of GDP because it wasn't produced in 2020 and only goods produced in 2020 would be added to 2020 GDP.
The corn syrup is an intermediate good and it would not be added in the calculation of GDP. only final goods are added in the calculation of GDP.
The automobile would be added to GDP as part of investment spending by businesses.
the import of cars would be added as part of net export in 2020 GDP
Errors in the sales forecast can be offset by similar errors in costs and income forecasts. Thus, as long as the errors are not large, sales forecast accuracy is not critical to the firm. Correct or Incorrect?
Answer: False
Explanation:
The above analysis is false. Sales forecast is when future sales are being estimated. It is very important for the sales forecast to be correct and accurate because it is used by the organization to make decisions and also predict the performances.
It is actually possible for the errors in the sales forecast to be offset by similar errors in costs and income forecasts but the accuracy of the sales forecast matters a lot.

A security held in a well-diversified portfolio that has a beta of zero in a one-factor model will have an expected return of:
Answer:
The answer is risk free rate.
Explanation:
Beta is a risk arising from systematic risk or market risk.
A portfolio with a beta of zero would have the same expected return as the risk-free rate. Such a portfolio would have zero correlation with market movements.
Market risk cannot be diversified. Examples of zero beta assets are cash and US treasury bill.
The following equations describe consumption, investment, government spending, taxes, and net exports in the country of Economika.
C = 400 + 0.80(Y - T)
I = 500
G = 450
T = 450
X = 100
1. In Economika, equilibrium GDP is equal to $_. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
2. If real GDP in Economika is currently $4,450, which of the following is true?
a) There will be an unplanned decrease in inventories, and real GDP will increase next period.
b) There will be an unplanned increase in inventories, and real GDP will increase next period.
c) There will be an unplanned decrease in inventories, and real GDP will decrease next period.
d) There will be an unplanned increase in inventories, and real GDP will decrease next period.
e) There will be no unplanned change in inventories, and real GDP will stay the same next period.
Answer:
1. $5,450
2. a) There will be an unplanned decrease in inventories, and real GDP will increase next period.
Explanation:
1. GDP (Y) is the total economic output and can be calculated using the Expenditure method which is;
Y = C + I + G + X
Y = (400 + 0.80(Y - 450)) + 500 + 450 + 100
Y = 400 + 0.80Y - 360 + 500 + 450 + 100
Y - 0.80Y = 1,090
0.2Y = 1,090
Y = $5,450
2. With Equilibrium GDP being higher than the Real GDP of the country, the excess Demand (GDP is aggregate demand) will lead to more consumption in the Economy which will lead to an unplanned decrease inventories. This will then spur companies to produce more to meet the higher demand causing Real GDP to go up.
The company wants to end each month with ending finished goods inventory equal to 10% of the next month’s sales. Finished goods inventory on December 31 is 280 units. The budgeted production units for January are:
Answer:
Budgeted production in January 2,910 units
Explanation:
Calculation for the budgeted production units for January
Using this formula
Budgeted production in January= Budgeted sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory available
Let plug in the formula
Budgeted production in January=2,800 + (3,900*10%) - 280
Budgeted production in January=$2,800+$390-280
Budgeted production in January= 2,910 units
Therefore the Budgeted production in units for January are: 2,910 units

You have $256,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock H, with an expected return of 14.1 percent, and Stock L, with an expected return of 10.7 percent. If your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.3 percent, how much money will you invest in Stock H and in Stock L
Answer: Investment in H = .4706($256,000)
Investment in H = $120,470.59
Investment in L = .5294($256,000)
Investment in L = $135,529.41
Explanation:
Investment in Stock H
Investment in Stock L
Here, the expected return of the portfolio and the expected return of the assets in the portfolio have been given and we're to calculate the dollar amount of each asset in the portfolio. So, we need to find the weight of each asset in the portfolio. Since the total weight of the assets in the portfolio must equal 1 (or 100%), we can find the weight of each asset as:
E[Rp] = .1230 = .141xH + .107(1 - xH)
xH = .4706
xL = 1 - xH
xL = 1 - .4706
xL = .5294
So, the dollar investment in each asset is the weight of the asset times the value of the portfolio, so the dollar investment in each asset must be:
Investment in H = .4706($256,000)
Investment in H = $120,470.59
Investment in L = .5294($256,000)
Investment in L = $135,529.41
Many Western European countries are giving monetary incentives to employees who have multiple children. Why would they do this? How would a baby boom change Japan's demographics?
Answer:
The incentive is to encourage more families to have more children.
A baby boom in Japan will ensure that there is enough workforce to maintain the growing economy in the future.
Explanation:
The western countries, especially Europe is battling with population decline, which is estimated to have an economic impact in the future, due to a potential decline in the labor force in the future. To counter this, many of these western nations have crated policies that encourages childbirth by providing incentive for families with multiple children, reducing tax for such families, and even as far as up to 12 to 16 months paid paternity and maternity leave, when a couple has a new baby. Couples are also given government paychecks when they go on childbirth leave.
Japan is one of the countries that has been experiencing a population decline in recent years. The number of death seem to be more than the number of births. The general effect is the fear of a dwindling work force of the future. This will lead to more people retiring later, and there would be a huge pressure on the pension schemes, and the economy as a whole due to this. A population boom will mean that a future workforce is guaranteed, and the retirement age lowered, and the call for dependency on automation due to a shrinking workforce can be reviewed.
Many of the western and developed nations are now giving incentives to those who produce more than one child or multiple children.
As their economy is getting old and is aging hence in order to company the problem of the aging of population monetary incentives are given. The baby boom is a condition related to the growth of babies. Japan is a greying nation that has a negatively declining trend of population. Due to the larger medical aid population is getting older and the birth rate is low. A baby boom may lead to an increase in youth and the young population. More children and more people.Learn more about the Western European countries that are giving monetary incentives.

The Polishing Department of Bonita Company has the following production and manufacturing cost data for September. Materials are entered at the beginning of the process. Production: Beginning inventory 1,580 units that are 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion costs; units started during the period are 41,200; ending inventory of 6,600 units 10% complete as to conversion costs. Manufacturing costs: Beginning inventory costs, comprised of $20,600 of materials and $14,674 of conversion costs; materials costs added in Polishing during the month, $186,883; labor and overhead applied in Polishing during the month, $127,600 and $257,440, respectively.
a. compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs for the month of september
b. compute the unit costs for materials and conversion costs for the month.
c. determine the costs to be assigne to the units transfered out in the process.
Answer:
a. Materials = 15,780 units and Conversion = 9,840 units
b. Materials = $13.15 and Conversion = $40.62
c. $354,882
Explanation:
First calculate the number of Units Completed and Transferred
Units Completed and Transferred = 1,580 + 14, 200 - 6,600
= 9,180
Then, Calculation of the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs for the month of September
Materials
Units Completed and Transferred ( 9,180 × 100%) = 9,180
Units In Ending Work In Process Inventory ( 6,600 × 100%) = 6,600
Equivalent units of production for materials = 15,780
Conversion
Units Completed and Transferred ( 9,180 × 100%) = 9,180
Units In Ending Work In Process Inventory ( 6,600 × 10%) = 660
Equivalent units of production for Conversion = 9,840
Calculate the unit costs for materials and conversion costs for the month.
Unit costs for materials = Total Materials Cost / Total Equivalent units of production for materials
= ($20,600 + $186,883) / 15,780
= $13.15
Unit costs for Conversion = Total Conversion Cost / Total Equivalent units of production for Conversion
= ($14,674 + $127,600 + $257,440) / 9,840
= $40.62
Calculate the costs to be assigned to the units transferred out in the process.
Costs to be assigned = Units Transferred Out × Total Cost per Equivalent unit of Production.
= 6,600 × ($13.15 + $40.62)
= 6,600 × $53.77
= $354,882
Constanza, who is single, sells her current personal residence (adjusted basis of $262,500) for $735,000. She has owned and lived in the house for 30 years. Her selling expenses are $36,750. What is Constanza’s realized and recognized gain? Constanza’s realized gain is $ and her recognized gain would be $ .
Answer:
Realized gain $435,750
Recognized gain$ 185,750
Explanation:
Calculation for Constanza’s realized and recognized gain
The realized gain will be calculated as :
Amount realized $698,250
($735,000 − $36,750)
Less the Adjusted basis ($262,500)
Realized gain $435,750
Constanza’s Recognised gain
Realized gain $435,750
Less Section 121 exclusion ($250,000)

Labor Input Physical output 10 500 11 600 12 690 13 760 14 800 Refer to the above table, answer the following questions: A. If the price of the good produced is $7, what is the marginal revenue product (MRPL=11) of the 11th worker? B. Suppose the price of the good sold is $10 and the marginal factor cost of labor(MFC) is $700, how many units of labor will the firm hire?
Answer:
Explanation:
Labor Input Physical output
10 500
11 600
12 690
13 760
14 800
marginal output of 11 th labor = 600 - 500 = 100
price of each product = 7
marginal revenue product of 11 th labor 7 x 100 = 700
B )
price of each of the goods sold = 10
marginal factor cost of labour = 700
minimum no of goods to be sold to cover the labour cost
= 700 / 10 = 70
no of goods added due to addition of 11 the labour = 100
no of goods added due to addition of 12 the labour = 90
no of goods added due to addition of 13 the labour = 70
so no of units of labor upto which the firm will continue to hire
= 13 .
To retain high-performing engineers, a large semiconductor company provides corporate stock as part of the compensation package. In one particular year, the company offered 1000 shares of either class A or class B stock. The class A stock was selling for $30 per share at the time, and stock market analysts predicted that it would increase at a rate of 6% per year for the next 5 years. The class B stock was selling for $20 per share, but its price was expected to increase by 12% per year. At an interest rate of 8% per year, which stock should the engineers select on the basis of present worth analysis and a 5-year planning horizon?
Answer:
class A stocks
Explanation:
in 5 years, class A stock will be worth = $30 x (1 + 6%)⁵ = $40.15
in 5 years, class B stock will be worth = $20 x (1 + 12%)⁵ = $35.25
now we need to determine the present value if each stock:
class A stock present value = $40.15 / (1 + 8%)⁵ = $27.33
class B stock present value = $35.25 / (1 + 8%)⁵ = $23.99
since the present value of class A stock is higher, then the engineers should select that type of stocks.
Suppose the U.S. economy slips into a recession. In response, the Federal Reserve cuts the federal funds rate in order to avoid unemployment. Consider what happens to the following under a fixed exchange-rate regime.
a. Domestic investment would increase
b. Capital inflow would decrease
c. Capital outflow would increase
d. The exchange rate would be unchanged
e. Net exports would be unchanged
f. Aggregate demand would increase
Answer: All Variables will remain unchanged
Explanation:
Monetary Policy has no effect on a country's domestic currency because it is simply ineffective when it is in a fixed exchange rate regime. This is because, when monetary policy is used, it tends to change the exchange rate but because the Fed will be engaging in a fixed exchange regime, it will act to normalise the exchange rate which will bring the currency back to equilibrium.
For instance, if the Fed embarks on expansionary monetary policy and pegs its currency to the Euro. The expansionary policy will lead to a drop in interest rates which is supposed to help GDP. However as a result of lower rates, the dollar will depreciate and more people will demand Euros. The Fed will intervene to keep the Euro and the Dollar at the same level (fixed exchange) and sell Euros in its reserves while reducing dollars. This will bring the interest rate and currencies back to its original level so there will be no benefit.
Monetary policy is ineffective under a Fixed Rate regime so one of the variables will change.

4) Dr Cash 100
Cr Allowance for Doubtful account 100
Explanation:
Calculation of the allowance for uncollectible accounts
Using this formula
Alllowance for uncollectible accounts=(Not Yet Due)+(0-30 days past due)+(30-60 days past due)+(More than 60 days pst due)
Let plug in the formula
Alllowance for uncollectible accounts=
(30,000 *2% )+ (10,000* 5%) + (7,000* 10 %)+(3,000* 20% )
Alllowance for uncollectible accounts =600+500+700+600
Alllowance for uncollectible accounts = 2,400
