Answer:
Division G should be charged $6,000
Explanation:
cost per purchase requisition = $42,000 / 3,500 = $12 per purchase requisition
Division G initiated 500 purchases, so it should be charged 500 x $12 = $6,000
Division L initiated 700 purchases, so it should be charged 700 x $12 = $8,400
The other departments should be charged the remaining amount = $42,000 - ($6,000 + $8,400) = $27,600
Use the information in the chart to calculate the real exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Indian rupee. Round to the nearest whole number. 2014 2015 2016 rupees/dollar 57 62 72 U.S. price index 99.5 100.1 101.1 Indian price index 108 117 128 What was the real exchange rate in 2014
Answer: 52.51 rupees/dollar
Explanation:
The real exchange rate attempts to account inflation in the countries being compared by using prices in the exchange rate.
The formula for calculating it is;
Real exchange rate = Nominal exchange rate *(Price index of domestic country/Price index of foreign country)
Real exchange rate in 2014 = 57*(99.5/108)
= 52.51 rupees/dollar
Relevant financial information for Gordon, Inc. andJordan, Inc. for the current year is provided below. ($ in millions) Net sales Net income Total assets, beginning Total assets, ending Gordon, Inc. $3,280 118 1,420 Jordan, Inc. $6,540 132 1,600 2,230 2,020 Based on these data, which of the following is a correct conclusion?
A) Return on Assets is 7.4% for Gordon and 6.5% for Jordan. Thus, Gordon is more profitable than Jordan
B) Return on Assets is 7.4% for Gordon and 6.5% for Jordan. Thus, Gordon is less profitable than Jordan
C) Return on Assets is 7.8% for Gordon and 6.2% for Jordan. Thus, Gordon is more profitable than Jordan
D) Return on Assets is 7.8% for Gordon and 6.2% for Jordan. Thus, Gordon is less profitable than Jordan
Answer:
C) Return on Assets is 7.8% for Gordon and 6.2% for Jordan. Thus, Gordon is more profitable than Jordan
Explanation:
please find attached a clear image of the table used in answering this question
Return on assets = net income / average total assets
average total assets = (beginning assets + ending asset) / 2
for gordon
average total assets = (1420 + 1600) / 2 = 1510
ROA = 118 / 1510 = 0.078146 = 7.8%
For Jordan,
average total assets = (2,230 + 2,020) / 2 = 2125
ROA = 132 / 2125 = 0.062118 = 6.2118%
The ROA figure shows how well a company converts assets into net income. The higher the ROA number, the better as it means the firm earns more money on less investment
The Federal Reserve and the money supply
Suppose the money supply (as measured by checkable deposits) is currently $400 billion. The required reserve ratio is 20%. Banks hold $80 billion in reserves, so there are no excess reserves. The Federal Reserve ("the Fed") wants to decrease the money supply by $35 billion, to $365 billion. It could do this through open-market operations or by changing the required reserve ratio. Assume for this question that you can use the oversimplified money multiplier formula. If the Fed wants to decrease the money supply using open-market operations, it shouldsell $7 billion worth of U.S. government bonds. If the Fed wants to decrease the money supply by adjusting the required reserve ratio, it shouldincrease the required reserve ratio.
Answer:
1. Sell $7 billion worth of U.S. government bonds
2. Increase the required reserve ratio.
Explanation:
1. If the Fed wants to change the money supply in the economy, it can use the Money Multiplier to determine how much is it has to put in or take out of the economy to increase/decrease the Money supply to a certain level. The Money Multiplier is a figure that shows how much the money supply will increase/ decrease by as a result of an additional dollar put into or removed from the economy.
Formula is;
= 1/ Reserve Ratio
= 1 / 20%
= 5
Federal Reserve wants to decrease supply by $35 billion.
$35 billion = Amount of Bonds to sell * Multiplier
$35 billion = Amount of Bonds to sell * 5
Amount of Bonds to sell = 35/5
Amount of Bonds to sell = $7 billion worth of bonds
2. If the Fed wants instead to use the required reserve ratio to reduce money supply then it should increase the ratio. This way banks will have to keep more money in reserve instead of giving it out as loans. This reduced lending in the economy will lead to less money being created and hence a reduced money supply.
Gordon purchased real estate for $900,000 and listed title to the property as "Gordon and Fawn, joint tenants with right of survivorship." Gordon predeceases Fawn when the real estate is worth $2,900,000. Gordon and Fawn are brother and sister.
What are the gift and estate tax consequences?
If an amount is zero, enter "0".
a. Gordon made a gift when the real estate was purchased of $_____ to Fawn.
b. Gordon's estate must include $______ as to the property.
c. How would the estate tax consequences change if it was Fawn (not Gordon) who died?
Fawn's estate would include $___0___ as to the property.
Answer:
a. Gordon made a gift when the real estate was purchased of $450,000 to Fawn.
Since Gordon gave 50% of the real estate to his sister as a gift when he purchased it, the gift must be valued at the time it happened ($900,000 x 50%)
b. Gordon's estate must include $2,900,000 as to the property.
Gordon purchased all the real estate by himself, so his estate must include the value of the whole property.
c. How would the estate tax consequences change if it was Fawn (not Gordon) who died?
Fawn's estate would include $0 as to the property.
Since Fawn didn't buy the property, her estate cannot include any amount of it.
A product line should NOT be discontinued if the contribution margin lost is A. less than the variable costs saved. B. less than the fixed costs saved. C. more than the fixed costs saved. D. more than the variable costs saved.
Answer:
B. less than the fixed costs saved.
Explanation:
A product line should NOT be discontinued if the contribution margin lost is "more than the fixed costs saved."
According to the economic rule, the product line should only be discontinued when the contribution margin lost is less than the fixed cost saved.
Also, this implies that the cost of production should be reduced or the production line discontinued.
However, when the contribution lost is more than the fixed cost saved, that shows profits.
Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option C. "more than the fixed costs saved."

(Click to select) d. Behavioral economists suggest that brand loyalty can be a source of monopoly power for producers. (Click to select)
Answer:
a. Students end up doing "all-nighters" just to finish a term paper.- Planning Fallacy
The Planning fallacy is a tendency by humans to overestimate how much time they have to complete a project due to them having an optimism bias when projecting how much time will be needed. The students thought they had time to study up until they didn't.
b. The so-called "Lake Wobegon effect" where everyone in a group claims to be above average. - The Overconfidence Effect
The overconfidence effect leads people to believe that their abilities exceed what they actually are and can be called the Lake Wobegon effect which was derived from the name of a fictional town where every child was supposedly above average.
c. People who are usually very neat tend to litter in areas that are covered with graffiti.- Framing effect
The Framing effect refers to a cognitive tendency by people to make decisions based on the how it is presented to them. The places covered with graffiti appeared dirty to them so them chose to litter there.
d. Behavioral economists suggest that brand loyalty can be a source of monopoly power for producers. - Status quo bias
This supports the old saying, "if it isn't broke, don't fix it". This bias is an emotional one that leads people to stay in a condition that they are used to because it is what they know and anything else might be considered a loss to them. Therefore companies can use these to always sell to a group of people if those people have brand loyalty.
Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $40,000 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $22,000. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $120,000 and receive $22,000 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $19,000 per year over the four-year life of the new machine. The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is:
Answer:
The total decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is $22,000
Explanation:
Taking note of "Ignoring the time value of money "
The total decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine = (-Initial cash outlay + Saving in annual variable) + manufacturing costs * Number of year
The total decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine = -$120000 + $22000 + $19,000 *4
= (-$120000 + $22000)+ $19,000 *4
= -$98,000 + $76,000
= -$22,000
Conclusion: The total decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine = $22,000
Real GDP means GDP:________.
a. corrected for changes in quality.
b. valued at prices in a base year.
c.that does not change from year to year.
d. valued at prices at which goods are actually sold.
Answer:
b. valued at prices in a base year.
Explanation:
Real gross domestic product (GDP) is basically nominal GDP adjusted to inflation. This means that the in order for the real GDP to increase or decrease, the actual output of goods and services must change, not only their price.
E.g. a small economy that produces 10 hats at $5 and 5 bikes at $10 in 2019, the 2019 (base year) GDP = $100.
In 2020, the economy produced 12 hats at $50 and 5 bikes at $10, the nominal GDP = $650, but the real GDP = (12 x $5) + (5 x $10) = $110.
A company purchased $270,000 in supplies during the year. The supplies account increased by $10,000 during the year to an ending balance of $66,000. For what amount was the adjusting entry to supplies expense?
Answer:
$260,000
Explanation:
Opening balance = Ending balance - Increase in ending balance
=$66,000 - $10,000
=$56,000
Supplies Expenses = Opening balance + Purchases - Closing balance
=$56,000 + $270,000 - $66,000
=$336,000 - $66,000
=$260,000
Therefore, the amount that will be the adjusting entry to supplies expenses is $260,000
You paid cash for $1,400 worth of stock a year ago. Today the portfolio is worth $2,134. a. What rate of return did you earn on the investment?
Answer:
rate of return on investment = 52.4%
Explanation:
The rate of return earned on the investment can be worked out using the Future value of a lump sum formula. The future value of a lump sum is the amount lump would amount to if interest is earned and compounded at a certain interest rate.
The formula is FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)
PV = Present Value- 1,400
FV - Future Value, - 2,134
n- number of years- 1
r- interest rate - ?
2,134 = 1,400× (1+r)^(1)
(1+r)^(1) = 2,134/1,400
r= 1.5242 - 1
r = 0.524 × 100 = 52.4%
r= 52.4%
rate of return on investment = 52.4%

CHEGG If you invest $200 in a stock, borrowing 90 percent of the $200 at 10 percent interest, and the stock price rises by 20 percent, what is the return on your investment
Answer:
Return on your investment (ROI) = 20%
Explanation:
Return on investment would be the proportion of the amount invested that is earned as profit. Note the following :
The amount earned as cash return would be determined as the capital gains less the interest on the loan.
Also, the amount invested would refer to the personal capital contribution made by the investor. This implies the total cost of the stock less the interest earned on the amount borrowed.
The principles above are illustrated as follows:
Capital gain on stock = stock price at the end - stock price at the beginning
Stock price at the end= 120% × 200 = 240
Capital gain = 240 - 200 = 40
Cost of fund = interest rate × amount borrowed
Amount borrowed = 90% × 200 = 180
Cost of fund = 20% × (90% × 200) = 36
Return on investment = Capital gains - cost of funds /(Total cost - amount borrowed)
ROI = (40 - 36)/(200 - 180)× 100 = 20%
Return on your investment (ROI) = 20%
Between 2015 and 2016 the country of experienced a growth rate of 0.3 If nominal GDP had increased by 2.0 and the population growth was recorded as 0.4 then calculate the annual inflation rate in West Fredonia Give your answer to one decimal
Answer: 1.3%
Explanation:
Inflation refers to general increase in prices in a given economy in a given period. Given the variables available, the best formula to use would be the Economic growth formula;
Economic Growth = %Δ Nominal GDP – %ΔPrices – %ΔPopulation
0.3 = 2.0 - %ΔPrices - 0.4
%ΔPrices = 2.0 - 0.4 - 0.3
%ΔPrices = 1.3
Inflation rose by 1.3%

If the rate of inflation is 4.8 %4.8%, what nominal interest rate is necessary for you to earn a 2.2 %2.2% real interest rate on your investment? (Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal places.
Answer:
Nominal rate of return= 7.11%
Explanation:
Inflation is the increase in the price level.It erodes the value of money.rise in the price of money
Nominal interest is that quoted for investment or loan transactions. It has not been been adjusted for inflation.
Real interest rate is the amount of interest in terms of the the quantity of good and services that can be purchased. It is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.
The relationship between inflation, real interest and nominal interest rate is given using the Fishers Effect;
N = ( (1+R) × (1+F)) - 1
N- nominal rate, R-real rate, F- inflation
real rate - 2.2%, inflation - 4.8%
Nominal rate of return =(1.022)× (1.048) - 1 = 0.071056
Nominal rate of return = 0.071056 × 100 = 7.1056 %
Nominal rate of return= 7.11%

Customer Z is a single 26-year-old man who earns $125,000 annually. He informs you that he is getting married and that his new wife's income of $75,000 per year will put them into the highest federal tax bracket. The couple will have investable income of $25,000 per year. The couple wishes to buy a house in 5 years that will be substantially more expensive than the condominium in which they currently reside. To meet the customer's needs for the large cash down payment in 5 years and to reduce taxable income, the BEST recommendation is to:_____________.
A. open a margin account and invest in income bonds
B. open an Individual Retirement Account and invest in tax-deferred variable annuities
C. open a cash account and invest in mutual funds holding high yielding common and preferred stocks
D. open a trust account and invest in Treasury STRIPs
Answer: C. open a cash account and invest in mutual funds holding high yielding common and preferred stocks
Explanation:
Investing in Mutual funds which hold high yielding common and preferred shares is the best option here. The dividends received will be high enough but will not be taxed too much as dividend tax is limited to 15% thereby saving the investment on taxes.
Also seeing as they will require the investment in other to buy a house in 5 years, they will need something that can be easily liquidated. Mutual funds are easy to liquidate from and so their investment here can be easily withdrawn when the time comes to allow them meet the house down payment.

What is the annual after-tax cash flow to debt holders under each plan?
a. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 1.2 mil. under the levered plan
b. Debt holders get $1.2 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.66 mil. under the levered plan
c. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.66 mil. under the levered plan
d. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.6075 mil. under the levered plan
Answer:
d. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.6075 mil. under the levered plan
Explanation:
interests paid to debt holders = $13,500,000 x 10% = $1,350,000
generally, interest revenue is taxed as ordinary revenue = corporate income tax rate (if debt holder is a business) or personal income tax (if debt holder is an individual).
under the first plan, debt holders get nothing because there is no outstanding debt since the company is an all equity firm.
under the second plan, if the personal tax rate on interest income is 55%, which is really high, the debt holders will earn $1,350,000 x (1 - 55%) = $607,500

IV. is not required to keep a record of the check received
A. I and III
B. I and IV
C. II and III
D. II and IV
Answer:
C. II and III
Explanation:
In this scenario, an investment adviser is opening that day's mail and receives a check from a customer made out to the "Jones Cleaning Service" - the check was mailed in error to the adviser. The same day, the investment adviser mails the check back to Jones Cleaning Service. Under North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) rules, the investment adviser has not taken custody of the customer's funds and must keep a record of the check received.
According to NASAA rules, if an investment adviser inadvertently receives a check made out to a third party like it was made out to the "Jones Cleaning Service" in error, provided that the investment adviser mails the check to the third party (customer) within 3 business-working days, then the adviser has not taken custody of the customer's funds.

Explanation:
We must first determine the market price of the bonds:
PV of face value = $612,000 / (1 + 4.88525%)⁴⁰ = $90,818.5814
PV of coupons = $30,600 x 17.43274 (PV annuity factor, 4.88525%, 40 periods) = $533,441.844
market price = $90,818.5814 + $533,441.844 = $624,260
amortization for first coupon payment:
= ($624,260 x 4.88525%) - ($612,000 x 5%) = $30,496.68194 - $30,600 = $103.31806
amortization for second coupon payment:
= ($624,156.6819 x 4.88525%) - ($612,000 x 5%) = $30,491.6143 - $30,600 = $108.3856955
Consider this case: Mildred’s Brewing Corp. needs to take out a one-year bank loan of $500,000 and has been offered loan terms by two different banks. One bank has offered a simple interest loan of 11% that requires monthly payments. The loan principal will be paid back at the end of the year. Another bank has offered 8% add-on interest to be repaid in 12 equal monthly installments. Based on a 360-day year, what will be the monthly payment for each loan for November? (Hint: Remember that November has 30 days.) Value Simple interest monthly payment Value Add-on interest monthly payment
Answer:
Mildred's Brewing Corp.
Monthly Payment for each loan for November:
a) Simple Interest = $55,000/12
= $4,583
b) Value Add-on interest monthly payment
= $43,494.31 ($521,931.68/12)
Explanation:
a) Data:
Bank loan = $500,000
Terms by bank one:
Simple interest of 11% paid monthly
Loan principal to be repaid at the end of the year.
Terms by bank two:
Add-on (Compound) interest = 8%
Repayment of interest and loan principal in 12 equal monthly installments.
b) Total Simple Interest Calculation:
Monthly Simple interest = ($500,000 x 11% )
= $55,000
c) Add-on Interest Calculation:
Using an online calculator, the total add-on interest will be $21,932.68 at an effective interest rate of 0.667% compounded monthly or 8%/12.
Principal = $500,000.00
Total interest $21,931.68
Principal + Interest $521,931.68
Monthly Repayment = $43,494.31 ($521,931.68/12)
d) The simple interest option will cost $55,000 in simple interest and the loan repayment at year-end of $500,000. The Add-on interest with equal monthly repayment of interest and principal will be $43,494.31, which costs $21,931.68 in total compound interest.

Suppose Acap Corporation will pay a dividend of $2.88 per share at the end of this year and $3.01 per share next year. You expect Acap's stock price to be $53.87 in two years. Assume that Acap's equity cost of capital is 10.3%. a. What price would you be willing to pay for a share of Acap stock today, if you planned to hold the stock for two years? b. Suppose instead you plan to hold the stock for one year. For what price would you expect to be able to sell a share of Acap stock in one year? c. Given your answer in (b), what price would you be willing to pay for a share of Acap stock today if you planned to hold the stock for one year? How does this compare to your answer in (a)?
Answer:
A.P(0)=$48.89
B.P(1)=$51.56
C.P(0)=$49.35
Explanation:
A. Calculation for what price would you be willing to pay for a share of Acap stock today if you planned to hold the stock for two year
Using this formula
P(0)=Dividend per share/Percentage of Equity cost of capital +(Dividend next year+Stock price)/Percentage of Equity cost of capital
Let plug in the formula
P(0) = 2.88/ 1.103 + (3.01+ 53.87) / 1.103^2=
P(0)=2.611+56.88/1.216609
P(0)=59.491/1.216609
P(0)=$48.89
b. Calculation for what price would you expect to be able to sell a share of Acap stock in one year
Using this formula
P(1)=(Dividend next year + Stock price)/Percentage of Equity cost of capital
Let plug in the formula
P(1) = (3.01 + 53.87) / 1.103 = $50.00
P(1)=56.88/1.103
P(1)=$51.56
c.Calculation for what price would you be willing to pay for a share of Acap stock today if you planned to hold the stock for one year
Using this formula
P(0)=(Dividend per share + P(1)/Percentage of Equity cost of capital
Let plug in the formula
P(0) = (2.88 + 51.56) / 1.103
P(0)=54.44/1.103
P(0)=$49.35
Therefore compare to the answer in (a)
if you planned to hold the stock for two year you will have $48.89 and if you planned to hold the stock for one year you will have $49.35.
