Answer: -27.2%
Explanation:
The Real GDP can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Price Deflator which is the current price level for the year.
Price Deflator = (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) * 100
Real GDP = (Nominal GDP/ Price Deflator ) * 100
1929
= (103.6/11.9 )* 100
= $870.588
1933
= (56.4/8.9) * 100
= $633.70787
Percentage Change
= (870.588 - 633.70787) / 870.588
= 0.272
= -27.2%
GDP changed by -27.2% over the 4 year period between 1929 and 1933
Answer:
the answer is b on edge 2020
Explanation:
There is a direct relationship between the par value and market value of common stock: stocks with a low par value have a low market value, while stocks with a high par value have a high market value.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
The statement is false.
Explanation:
As the market value of the stock depends upon the industry risk, political, economical, technological, etc factors and also largely depends upon the business performance which is the profits generated by the organization and its cashflow health. So higher par value has nothing to do with higher market value. Hence the statement is totally incorrect.
A mutual fund sponsor has three different income funds, holding AAA rated debt securities with similar maturities. Assuming that the expense ratios for the funds are identical, which fund would have the lowest yield from investment income?
Answer: C. Municipal Bond Fund
Explanation:
Municipal Bonds would be the fund with the lowest yield from investment income. This is assuming they are all AAA rated debt securities with similar maturities. This is because Municipal bonds are tax exempt and not very risky so their yields will be quoted as less as they do not have to compensate investors on tax losses.
Corporate Bonds are the riskiest of the options given so they will have the highest yield as they have to compensate for both risk and taxes.
Government Bonds are considered very low when it comes to risk but they are taxed by the Federal Government so have higher yields to compensate for tax.
On August 1, Batson Company issued a 60-day note with a face amount of $58,800 to Jergens Company for merchandise inventory. (Assume a 360-day year is used for interest calculations.)
a) Determine the proceeds of the note assuming the note carries an interest rate of 10%.
b) Determine the proceeds of the note assuming the note is discounted at 10%.
Answer:
a. $58,800
b. $57,820
Explanation:
Generally, notes are issued on the discounted or face value. It is face value when the price of the note is the same as the face value while it is discounted when the price of the note is lower than the face or par value.
a. Since the note is issued on the face value of $58,800 , it means that the proceed is the same amount. The proceeds from a note that is issued, is that price at which the note is issued.
b. Discount value
= $58,800 × 10% × 60/360
= $980
Proceeds
= Face/par value of the note - Discount value of the note
= $58,800 - $980
= $57,820

Determine the dollar amount of camera sales for the month of June.
Amount of camera sales ____________
Answer:
2,080 units
$686,400
Explanation:
The computation of the number of camera sales in units is shown below:-
Number of camera sales in units = Sold units + (Sold units × Percentage of growth in units sales)
= 2,000 + (2,000 × 4%)
= 2,000 + 80
= 2,080 units
The computation of the amount of camera sales is shown below:-
Amount of camera sales = Number of units × Selling price per unit
= 2,080 × $330
= $686,400
Sheffield Company has $145,000 of inventory at the beginning of the year and $131,000 at the end of the year. Sales revenue is $1,972,800, cost of goods sold is $1,145,400, and net income is $248,400 for the year. The inventory turnover ratio is:
Answer:
Sheffield Company
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory
= $1,145,400/$138,000
= 8.3 times
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning inventory = $145,000
Ending inventory = $131,000
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory)/2
= ($145,000 + 131,000)/2
= $138,000
Sales revenue = $1,972,800
Cost of goods sold = $1,145,400
Net income = $248,400
b) The inventory turnover ratio for Sheffield Company is an efficiency ratio that shows how inventory is managed and the number of times Sheffield sells or consumes the inventory during an accounting period. This is why Sheffield Company takes the average of the inventories in order to smoothen seasonal fluctuations in the inventory level during the year. When this ratio divides the number of days in the accounting period, Sheffield will get the days it takes for inventory to be purchased or produced, and then sold or consumed.

Your Competitive Intelligence team is predicting that the Chester Company will invest in adding capacity to their Cute product this year. Assume Chester's product Cute invests in increasing its capacity by 10% this year. Because of this new information, your company anticipates all other products in the Core segment will increase their capacity by the same amount. How much can the industry produce in the Core segment the next year? Consider only products primarily in the Core segment last year. Ignore current inventories. Figures in thousands (000).
Answer:
HELLO SOME PARTS OF THE QUESTION IS MISSING ATTACHED BELOW IS THE MISSING PARTS
answer : 13156
Explanation:
Considering only products primarily in the core segment last year.
they are : Ant, cone, cute,Drat and Daze
From the question it is assumed that Chester's product Cute and other products in its Core segment will be increased by 10% this year hence we will calculate the 10% increase of each core product and add it to its initial value
For ANT (1550)
will become = 1550 + ( 10% * 1550 ) = 1705
For CONE ( 1050 )
will become = 1050 + ( 10% * 1050 ) = 1155
For Cute ( 1300 )
will become = 1300 + (10% * 1300 ) = 1430
For Drat ( 1040 )
will become = 1040 + ( 10% * 1040 ) = 1144
For DAZE ( 1040 )
will become = 1040 + ( 10% * 1040 ) = 1144
The total capacity of the current year = 1705 + 1155 + 1430 + 1144 + 1144 = 6578
Hence the Total capacity the Industry will produce in the core next year still applying the 10% increment will be = 2 * 6578 = 13156

Year 2 Year 1
Net sales $647,500 $582,000
Cost of goods sold 389,500 360,840
Ending inventory 76,700 79,380
a. 9.98
b. 9.98
c. 5.08
d. 4.99
e. 8.30
f. 8.44
Answer:
Inventory Turnover 2017 = 4.99 times
So option d is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Inventory turnover ratio is an accounting ratio which is used to determine the number of times the average level of inventory is sold off and replaced in a particular period. The formula to calculate the inventory turnover times is,
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
Where,
Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) / 2
Average Inventory 2017 = (79380 + 76700) / 2
Average Inventory 2017 = $78040
Inventory Turnover 2017 = 389500 / 78040
Inventory Turnover 2017 = 4.99 times

Suppose the current term structure of interest rates, assuming annual compounding, is as follows: s_1s 1 s_2s 2 s_3s 3 s_4s 4 s_5s 5 s_6s 6 7.0% 7.3% 7.7% 8.1% 8.4% 8.8% What is the discount rate d(0,4)d(0,4)? (Recall that interest rates are always quoted on an annual basis unless stated otherwise.)
Answer: The answer is 7.53%
Explanation:
To calculate for the discount rate of d(0,4)d(0,4)
The discount factor is : d=1/1+i
Provided the interest rates are compounded annually the discount factor will give the present value of the bond when provided with the interest rate and maturity value.
Going with the above, the present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will be;
Present value=1 /(1+i1) (1+i) (1+i3) (1+i4)
Present value=1 / (1.07) (1.073) (1.077) (1.081)
Present value=0.748
The present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will hence be 0.748.
Therefore, to calculate the discounting factor for the 4 years:
1 (1+d (0,4))‐⁴ =0.748
(1+d(0,4))=0.748‐¹/⁴
1+d (0,4) =1.0753
d (0,4)=0.0753
Finally, the discount rate will be 7.53%
A new machine will cost $25,000. The machine is expectedto last 4 years and have no salvage value. If the interest rate is 12%, determine the return and the risk associated with the purchase. The following projections have been made.
Scenario 1 2 3
probability 0.3 0.4 0.3
annual savings $7000 $8500 $9500
Answer with its Explanation:
Requirement 1. Expected Annual Savings and Expected NPV
As we know that:
Expected Value = Probability P1 * Expected Value E1 + Probability P2 * Expected Value E2 + Probability P3 * Expected Value E3 + ....... Probability Pn * Expected Value En
Here
P1 is 0.3 and E1 is $7000
P2 is 0.4 and E2 is $8500
P3 is 0.3 and E3 is $9500
By putting values, we have
Expected Annual Savings = 0.3 * $7,000 + 0.4 * $8,500 + 0.3 * $9,500 = $8,350
The above amount would be for first four years, hence it must be discounted using the annuity formula to calculate the present value of four annual receipts.
Annuity = [1 - (1 + r)^-n] / r
By putting values, we have:
Annuity = $8,350 * [1 - (1 + 12%)^-4] / 12%
And
Expected NPV = ($25,000) + $8,350 * [1 - (1 + 12%)^-4] / 12%
= $361.87
Requirement 2. Probable Return Percentage
Return Percentage = NPV / Investment = $361.87/ $25,000
= 1.45%
Requirement 3. Associated risk
As we know that
Minimum return = Minimum annual savings – Uniform annual costs
Here
Minimum annual savings are $7,000
Uniform Annual Costs were $8,350
By putting values, we have:
Minimum return = $7,000 – $8,350 = -$1,350 per year
Requirement 4. Risk Amount Percentage
Risk Amount percentage = Minimum Return / Uniform annual costs * 100
Risk Amount percentage = $1,350 / 8,350 * 100 = 16.17%

yield to maturity = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
7.07% = {coupon + [($2,000 - $1,897.26)/34]} / [($2,000 + $1,897.26)/2]
7.07% = (coupon + $3.0218) / $1,948.63
coupon + $3.0218 = $1,948.63 x 7.07% = $137.7681
coupon = $137.7681 - $3.0218 = $134.7463
semiannual coupon rate = $134.7463 / $2,000 = 0.06737 x 2 = 0.1347 ≈ 13.47%
You would like to have extra spending money, so you decide to work part time at the local gym. The job pays you $15 per hour and you work 20 hours per week. Your employer withholds 10% of your gross pay for federal taxes, 7.65% for FICA taxes and 3% for state taxes.
a. What is your weekly gross pay?
b. How much is withheld per week for federal tax?
c. How much is withheld per week for FICA taxes?
d. How much is withheld per week for state taxes?
e. What is your weekly net pay?
f. What percentage of your gross net pay is withheld for taxes?
Answer:
Gross Pay 300 dollar
Federal Income Tax $ 30
FICA $ 22.95
SUTA $ 9
Net Pay: 238.05
As a percentage of gross pay: 79.35%
Explanation:
Gross pay:
20 hours x $15 each = $ 300
Taxes:
income tax: 300 x 10% = 30
FICA 300 x 7.65% = 22.95
SUTA taxes 300 x 3% = 9
Net pay 300 - 30 - 22.95 - 9 = 238.05
Net pay as a percentage of gross pay:
238.05 / 300 = 0.7935 = 79.35%
The following data concerns a proposed equipment purchase: Cost$144,000 Salvage value$4,000 Estimated useful life 4years Annual net cash flows$46,100 Depreciation methodStraight-line Ignoring income taxes, the annual net income amount used to calculate the accounting rate of return is:
Answer: $74,000
Explanation:
The Average Investment refers to the average cash invested into a particular project and is useful in calculating the rate of return. The simple formula is to add the beginning value of the asset to its ending value and divide this by 2.
The ending value in this case would be the salvage value;
Average Investment = [tex]\frac{Beginning Cost of Machine + Salvage Value}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{144,000 + 4,000}{2}[/tex]
= $74,000
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 per year.
(a) This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to ______ and the level of investment spending to _______.
(b) An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to ______ and the level of investment to _______.
(c) Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
(d) This change in spending causes the government to run a budget _______, which _______ national saving.
(e) This causes the interest rate to _______, and the level of investment spending to _______
Answer:
(a) This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to DECREASE and the level of investment spending to INCREASE.
The supply of loanable funds will increase, therefore, the equilibrium price (interest rate) will decrease.
(b) An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to DECREASE and the level of investment to DECREASE.
The demand of loanable will decrease, therefore, decreasing the equilibrium price (interest rate).
(c) Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
(d) This change in spending causes the government to run a budget SURPLUS, which INCREASES national saving.
(e) This causes the interest rate to DECREASE, and the level of investment spending to INCREASE.
Since the government has extra money, it can use it to pay existing debts or finance themselves without having to issue new debt. Since the demand for loanable funds decrease, the interest rates will fall.

Dept. Sales Cost of goods Direct Expenses Indirect exp Contribution
1 1,000,000 700,000 100,000 80,000 120,000
2 400,000 150,000 40,000 100,000 110,000
3 700,000 300,000 150,000 20,000 230,000
Contribution= sales revenue - direct cost and direct expenses
For Department 1 =
Contribution = 1,000,000 -700,000-100,000-80,000 = 120,000
Contribution as a percentage of sale =
Sales = 1,000,000
Contribution = 120,000
120,000/1,000,000*100 = 12%
