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.

Hart Company made 3,260 bookshelves using 22,260 board feet of wood costing $298,284. The company's direct materials standards for one bookshelf are 8 board feet of wood at $13.30 per board foot.
AQ = Actual Quantity
SQ = Standard Quantity
AP = Actual Price
SP = Standard Price
1) Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances and classify each as favorable or unfavorable.
2) Hart applies management by exception by investigating direct materials variances of more than 5% of actual direct materials costs. Which direct materials variances will Hart investigate further?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 3,260 bookshelves using 22,260 board feet of wood costing $298,284.
The company's direct materials standards for one bookshelf are 8 board feet of wood at $13.30 per board foot.
First, we need to calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, using the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
actual price= 298,284/22,260= $13.4
Direct material price variance= (13.3 - 13.4)*22,260
Direct material price variance= $2,226 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
standard quantity= 8*3,260= 26,080
Direct material quantity variance= (26,080 - 22,260)*13.3
Direct material quantity variance= $50,806 favorable
Finally, we need to calculate which of the variations should be looked at:
Price= (13.4/13.3)-1]*100= 0.75% is between the standards
Quantity= (22,260/26,080)-1]*100= 14.65% It should be studied further.

Finder Technologies Inc. has manufacturing units in Canada. The country's stable economic and political environment helps the firm gain competitive advantage by lowering production costs and improving product quality. Other things being equal, the benefits realized from such a strategy can be typically referred to as
Answer:

Explanation:
Location economies is a phenomenon which helps the organization gain advantage due to its location which means it enjoys favorable PESTLE factors of a country. Favorable PESTLE factors include political, economical, social, technological, legal and environmental factors.
In the question, it is clear that the Canadian economic policies and stable political environment has led the industries to grow due to business easing policies of the country. Hence Finder Technologies Inc. has enjoyed Location Economies phenomenon.
An electric power plant uses solid waste for fuel in the production of electricity. the cost Y in dollars per hour to produce electricity is Y=11+0.4X+0.29X2, where X is in megawatts. Revenue in dollars per hour from the sale of electricity is 16X−0.2X2. Find the value of X that gives maximum profit. (Round to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.
Explanation:
Before answering the question, Y and Revenue (R) given in the question are first correctly restated as follows:
Cost = Y = 11 + 0.4X + 0.29X^2 .......................................... (1)
Revenue = R = 16X − 0.2X^2 .............................................. (2)
Differentiating each of equations (1) and (2) with respect to X to obtain marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR), we have:
dY/dX = MC = 0.4 + 0.58X .................................................. (4)
dR/dX = MR = 16 - 0.4X ....................................................... (5)
In production theory, profit is maximized when MR = MC. Therefore, we equate equations (4) and (5) and solve for X as follows:
0.4 + 0.58X = 16 - 0.4X
0.58X + 0.4X = 16 - 0.4
0.98X = 15.6
X = 15.6 / 0.98
X = 15.92
Therefore, the value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.

Generic Inc. issued bonds in 1988 that will mature 16 years from the date of issue. The bond pays a 14.375 percent coupon and the interest is paid semiannually. Its current price is $1,508.72. What is the effective annual yield on the bonds?
Answer:
8.93%
Explanation:
If we want to determine the effective annual yield on the bonds we must calculate the yield to maturity of the bonds:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = {71.875 + [($1,000 - $1,508.72)/32]}/ [($1,000 + $1,508.72)/2]
YTM = 55.9775 / 1,254.36 = 0.04463 x 2 semiannual coupons = 8.93%

The stock in Bowie Enterprises has a beta of .85. The expected return on the market is 11.50 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.85 percent. What is the required return on the company's stock?
Answer:
10.203%
Explanation:
The stock in Bowie's enterprises has a beta of 0.85
The expected return on the market is 11.50%
The risk free rate is 2.85%
Therefore, the required return on the company's stock can be calculated as follows
Required return= Risk free rate+beta(market rate-risk free rate)
= 2.85+0.85(11.50-2.85)
= 2.85+ 0.85(8.65)
= 2.85+7.3525
= 10.203%
Hence the required rate in the company's stock is 10.203%
income effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good that you buy. if one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy
Answer:
it would have a positive income elasticity and it is a normal good
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls
Inferior goods are goods whose demand falls when income rises and increases when income falls.
The company estimates future uncollectible accounts. The company determines $14,000 of accounts receivable on January 31 are past due, and 30% of these accounts are estimated to be uncollectible. The remaining accounts receivable on January 31 are not past due, and 5% of these accounts are estimated to be uncollectible. (Hint: Use the January 31 accounts receivable balance calculated in the general ledger.) Record bad debts at the end of January.
Answer:
Bad debt expense = $4,690
Explanation:
Entry DEBIT CREDIT
Bad debt Expense $4,690
Allowance for doubtful debt $4,690
In Order to record bad debt expense, we need to go through some minor workings.
Workings
Receivables on January 31 past due = $14,000 x 30% = $4,200
Receivable not past due = ($14,000 x 70%) x5% = $490
Bad debt expense = Receivables on January 31 past due + Receivable not past due
Bad debt expense = $4,200 + $490
Bad debt expense = $4,690

All of the following statements related to U.S. GAAP and IFRS are true except: Multiple Choice The closing process for merchandisers is the same under both systems. U.S. GAAP offers little guidance about the presentation order of expenses. Accounting for basic inventory transactions is the same under the two systems. Neither system requires separate disclosure of items when their size, nature, or frequency are important. Neither system defines operating income.Incorrect
Answer:
Neither system requires separate disclosure of items when their size, nature, or frequency are important.
Explanation:
IFRS is an acronym for International Financial Reporting Standards, it comprises of a set of accounting standards or rules issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that statement of income, when reported by accountants is consistent, transparent and comparable globally.
On the other hand, GAAP is an acronym for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, it comprises of the accounting standard, procedures and principles used by public institutions in the United States of America. The U.S GAAP is issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Generally, there are some similarities in the operations of both governmental agencies and these are;
1. The closing process for merchandisers is the same under both systems.
2. U.S. GAAP offers little guidance about the presentation order of expenses.
3. Accounting for basic inventory transactions is the same under the two systems.
4. Neither system defines operating income.
However, the statement that neither system requires separate disclosure of items when their size, nature, or frequency are important is incorrect or false because all disclosure of items are presented together.
Vaughn Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 450 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory 330 $22 $7,260 April 15 purchase 380 26 9,880 April 23 purchase 290 29 8,410 1,000 $25,550 Required:Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the FIFO method.
Answer:
Ending inventory= $15,170
COGS= $10,380
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units sold= 450
April 1 inventory= 330 units for $22
April 15 purchase= 380 units for $26
April 23 purchase= 290 units for $29
First, we need to calculate the number of units in ending inventory:
Ending inventory units= 1,000 - 450= 550 units
Now, to calculate the ending inventory under the FIFO (First-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the last units incorporated into inventory.
Ending inventory= 290*29 + 260*26= $15,170
COGS= 330*22 + 120*26= $10,380

Answer:
$1.125
Explanation:
price range is the difference between the highest and lowest price
highest price = $62
Lowest price = $60.875
$62 - $60.875 = $1.125
It costs a bakery $3 to sell a single cake. This bakery makes $7 in revenue from each cake it sells. Assume this bakery sells 25 cakes. What is its total profits
Answer:
$100
Explanation:
The revenue is the total amount the company receives for the sale of products and the profit is the amount left after the costs are subtracted. Because of that, to calculate the profit you have to subtract the costs from the revenue generated:
Profit= Revenue-costs
Profit= (7*25)-(3*25)
Profit=175-75
Profit= 100
According to this, the total profit is $100.
Zeke Company sells a single product. The selling price per unit is $32 and unit variable cost is $24. Fixed costs for the year are $100,200. What if selling price goes up by 0.15%, variable costs go up by 0.15% and fixed costs go up by 0.16%? What is the new breakeven point in units?
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 12,562 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= 32*1.0015= 32.048
Unitary variable cost= 24*1.0015= 24.036
Fixed costs= 100,200*1.0016= 100,360.32
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 100,360.32/(32.048 - 24.036)
Break-even point in units= 12,562 units
Building Supplies is considering a merger with Tools and More. Building's total operating costs of producing services are $4 million for a sales volume of $20 million. Tools' total operating costs of producing services are $1 million for a sales volume of $5 million. Suppose that synergies in the production process result in a cost of production for the merged firms totalling $4.8 million with total sales remaining unchanged. Calculate the total average cost for the merged firm.
Answer:
We generally calculate total average cost by dividing total cost / total output units.
In this case, we are not given the output units, but instead we are given the output value, so we should find a percentage from total revenue.
total costs = $4,800,000
total revenue = $20,000,000 + $5,000,000 = $25,000,000
average total cost = ($4,800,000 / $25,000,000) x 100 = 19.2%
This means that for every $100 of revenue, the merged company will spend $19.20.

Because Toyota's investment eventually increases the level of R&D spending for his given level of sales revenue what would the effect on Toyota's return on invested capital (ROIC)?
Available Options Are:
a. Increasing ROIC by increasing return on sales
b. Decreasing ROIC by increasing return on sales
c. Decreasing ROIC by decreasing return on sales
d. Increasing ROIC by decreasing return on sales
Answer:
Option C. Decreasing ROIC by decreasing return on sales
Explanation:
The return on sales would be reduced as the research expenses have increased substantially. The implications of increased research expenses on the ROIC can be understood by analyzing the ROIC formula which is given as under:
ROCI = Operating Income (1 - Tax Rate) / Book Value of Invested Capital
As revenue expenditure (Research and Development expenses) of the company has increased, this would decrease the operating income of the company which means that the numenator would be decreased and as a result the ROCI would decrease.

"If the Percy Division is eliminated," she said, "our total profits would increase by $26,500." The Other Five Divisions Percy Division Total Sales $1,663,000 $100,000 $1,763,000 Cost of goods sold 978,100 76,800 1,054,900 Gross profit 684,900 23,200 708,100 Operating expenses 529,000 49,700 578,700 Net income $155,900 $ (26,500 ) $129,400 In the Percy Division, cost of goods sold is $60,500 variable and $16,300 fixed, and operating expenses are $29,100 variable and $20,600 fixed. None of the Percy Division’s fixed costs will be eliminated if the division is discontinued. Is Veronica right about eliminating the Percy Division? Prepare a schedule to support your answer.

Classify each of the following based on the macroeconomic definitions of saving and investment.
a. Saving Investment Kate purchases stock in Pherk, a pharmaceutical company.
b. Hubert purchases a new condominium in Houston.
c. Clancy purchases a certificate of deposit at his bank.
d. Eileen borrows money to build a new lab for her engineering firm.
Answer:
a. Savings
b. Investment
c. Savings
d. Investment
Explanation:
Remember,
In macroeconomics, we often see Investments as purchases made with the aim of producing more goods or more wealth in the future. The examples are;
- Kate purchases stock in Pherk, a pharmaceutical company.
-Hubert purchases a new condominium in Houston.
While, Savings refers to the extra money a households have left after paying all their other expenses. Examples here are:
- Clancy purchases a certificate of deposit at his bank.
- Eileen borrows money to build a new lab for her engineering firm.
A company is considering replacing an old machine, which has a market value of $95,000 and a tax basis of $145,000. The new machine would cost $210,000 and would cause a $25,000 reduction in working capital because of the need for fewer spare parts. If the company’s tax rate is 39%, what would be the initial cash outlay for this replacement project?
Answer:
$120,500
Explanation:
Net cash outflow for the new machine = Cost of new machine + net working capital - salvage value of old machine + tax (salvage value of old machine - book value of old machine)
tax (salvage value of old machine - book value of old machine) =
0.39 x ($95,000 - $145,000) = $-19,500
$210,000 + $25,000 - $95,000 -$19,500 = $120,500
Assume that on September 30, 2017, AirUS, an international airline based in Germany, purchased a Jumbo aircraft at a cost of euro 42,500,000 (euro is the symbol for the euro). AirUS expects the plane to remain useful for five years (5,000,000 miles) and to have a residual value of euro 4,250,000. AirUS will fly the plane 350 comma 000 miles during the remainder of 2017.
Requried:
a. Compute AirUS's depreciation on the plane for the year ended December 31, 2017, using the straight-line method.
b. Compute AirUS's depreciation on the plane for the year ended December 31, 2017, using the units-of-production method.
c. Compute AirUS's depreciation on the plane for the year ended December 31, 2017, using the double-declining method
Answer:
A.7,650,000
B.2,677,500
C.17,000,000
Explanation:
DATA:
purchase cost = 42,500,000
Useful life = 5 years
Estimated useful life in miles = 5,000,000 miles
Salvage value = 4,250,000
Actual useful life in miles = 350,000miles
Solution
A. Depreciation (straight-line)= [tex]\frac{Cost-residualvalue}{Usefullife}[/tex]
Depreciation( straight-line)= [tex]\frac{42,500,000-4,250,000}{5}[/tex]
Depreciation( straight-line)= 7,650,000
B Depreciation (units of production)= (cost-Salvage value) x [tex]\frac{Actualunits}{Estimatedunits}[/tex]
Depreciation (units of production)= (42,500,000-4,250,000)x[tex]\frac{350,000}{5,000,000}[/tex]
Depreciation (units of production) = 2,677,500
C. Depreciation (Double declining) = 2 x cost x depreciation rate
Depreciation (Double declining) = 2 x 42,500,000 x 0.2(w)
Depreciation (Double declining) = 17,000,000
Working
Depreciation Rate = 1/Useful
Depeciation Rate = 1/ 05 = 0.2
Muriel is giving a speech to the community's business leaders. She begins by stating, "Our community has been strong in the face of adversity, but we now face the most serious challenge in years. The tax base is shrinking and will be 30 percent smaller in three years." What is she doing
Answer:
Setting the mood and tone of her speech.
Explanation:
Muriel's approach to her speech prepares the mind of her listeners who are made up of business leaders who are known to usually have negative views about increasing taxes.
Thus, Muriel may be able to reach the emotions of her listeners towards accepting her point of view. This is evident by the the statement "Our community has been strong in the face of adversity, but we now face the most serious challenge in years", in which it likens the decreasing tax revenues to an adversity that should be overcomed; thus employing more support.

Assume that the dividend is constant.
Answer:
6.974% and 4.218%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Here we use the 52-week low stock price
The Highest dividend yield is
= Dividend ÷ Stock price
= 2.39 ÷ 34.27
= 6.974%
The Lowest dividend yield is
= Dividend ÷ Stock price
= 2.39 ÷ 56.66
= 4.218%
We simply applied the above formula so that we can determine highest and lowest dividend yield
