Free Spirit’s marketing and sales director doesn’t think that the firm’s market is big enough for the firm to break even. In fact, she believes that the firm will be able to sell only about 200,000 units. However, she also thinks that the demand for Free Spirit’s product is relatively inelastic (so the firm can increase the sales price without significantly decreasing the volume of product sold). Assuming that the firm can sell 200,000 units, what price must it set to break even? $67.69 per unit $85.50 per unit $78.38 per unit $71.25 per unit
Answer:
$60.75

Free Spirit Industries Inc. is considering a project that will have fixed costs of $10,000,000. The product will be sold for $41.50 per unit, and will incur a variable cost of $10.75 per unit. p na r so Free Spirit's marketing and sales director doesn't think that the firm's market is big enough for the firm to break even. In fact, she believes that the firm will be able to sell only about 200,000 units. However, she also thinks that the demand for Free Spirit's product is relatively inelastic (so the firm can increase the sales price without significantly decreasing the volume of product sold). Assuming that the firm can sell 200,000 units, what price must it set to break even? O $57.71 per unit O $72.90 per unit O $60.75 per unit O $66.83 per unit
Breakeven price = (fixed cost / quantity sold) + variable price per unit
($10,000,000 / 200,000) + $10.75 = $60.75

Q 9.26: Crawford Trucking plans to dispose of two trucks in 2018. They sell the first truck on January 2 and the second truck on July 9. If the end of their fiscal year is December 31, how will the calculation of book value differ for these two vehicles
Answer:
Crawford Trucking
Calculation of book value for disposal of two vehicles:
a) The Truck sold on January 2 would not have depreciation expenses computed for it. The book value on January 1 would be the same on January 2. It is not practical to compute depreciation expense for 1 day.
b) The Truck sold on July 9 would have depreciation computed for the year 2018 pro rated for six months. The book value would be less than the Truck sold on January 2.
Explanation:
Depreciation expense may be pro rated depending on the prevailing circumstances. This becomes necessary because the sold unit may not be fully utilized for the period under review. Under the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles, it is imperative to match revenue to the period they were incurred.

A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,250,000 and can be sold for $645,000 at the end of the project. The asset is in the 5-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, and 11.52 percent, respectively. The company's tax rate is 35 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment
Answer: $615,810
Explanation:
The Book Value of the Asset at the end of 4 years will be;
= Cost of equipment - Accumulated Depreciation
= 3,250,000 - ( 3,250,000 * ( 20% + 32% + 19.20% + 11.52%))
= 3,250,000 - 2,688,400
= $561,600
The Equipment will be sold at $645,000 meaning a gain is made
= 645,000 - 561,600
= $83,400
Tax to be paid is;
= 83,400 * 0.35
= $29,190
After-tax salvage value of the equipment = Sales Price - Tax
= 645,000 - 29,190
= $615,810

Which statement best reflects the Fed's approach to expansionary monetary policy before the mortgage debt crisis
Complete Question:
Which statement best reflects the Fed's approach to expansionary monetary policy before the mortgage debt crisis? Multiple Choice The Fed would announce a lower target for the federal funds rate, then increase the supply of reserves through a balanced combination of the monetary policy tools. The Fed would quietly begin using open-market operations to increase the supply of reserves, with secrecy critical to not alarming securities markets The Fed would announce a lower target for the federal funds rate, then rely primarily on open market operations to increase the supply of reserves The Fed would itself lower the federal funds rate and then use a varied combination of monetary policy tools to increase the supply of reserves
Answer:
The Fed would announce a lower target for the federal funds rate, then increase the supply of reserves through a balanced combination of the monetary policy tools.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve achieves expansionary monetary policy by announcing lower targets for the federal funds rate, increasing the supply of reserves using a mix of monetary policy tools, including the discount rate, reserve requirements, open market operations, and interest on reserves The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which banks with excess reserves lend to other banks in need. By lowering this rate, many banks are encouraged to borrow. This monetary expansion increases the supply of money in the economy which leads to increased productivity, more employment, etc.

Consider four different stocks, all of which have a required return of 12 percent and a most recent dividend of $3.00 per share. Stocks W, X, and Y are expected to maintain constant growth rates in dividends for the foreseeable future of 10 percent, 0 percent, and –4 percent per year, respectively. Stock Z is a growth stock that will increase its dividend by 20 percent for the next two years and then maintain a constant 10 percent growth rate thereafter. What is the dividend yield and capital gains yield for each of these four stocks? (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place, e.g., 32.1.)
Answer:
we must first determine the current price of the stocks:
W = $3.30 / (12% - 10%) = $165
X = $3 / 12% = $25
Y = $2.88 / (12% + 4%) = $18
Z = $3.60/1.12 + $4.32/1.12² + $237.60/1.12² (terminal value at year 2) = $3.21 + $3.44 + $189.41 = $196.06
current year's dividend yield:
W = $3 / $165 = 1.8%X = $3 / $25 = 12%Y = $3 / $18 = 16.7%Z = $3 / $196.06 = 1.5%now we must determine the price of the stocks in one year:
W = $3.63 / (12% - 10%) = $181.50
X = $3 / 12% = $25
Y = $2.7648 / (12% + 4%) = $17.28
Z = $4.32/1.12 + $237.60/1.12 = $3.86 + $212.14 = $216
capital gains yield:
W = ($181.50 - $165) / $165 = 10%X = ($25 - $25) / $25 = 0Y = ($17.28 - $18) / $18 = -4%Z = ($216 - $196.06) / $196.06 = 10.2%When China reformed state-owned enterprises, it tried a new approach to choosing managers: it put managerial jobs up for auction. The bids for the jobs consisted of promises of future profit streams that the managers would generate and then deliver to the state. In cases where the incumbent manager was the winning bidder, firm productivity tended to increase dramatically. When outside bidders won, there was little productivity improvement. Assume that incumbent managers and new managers had similar qualifications. True or False: This result is an example of the winner's curse.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Winner curse is a situation where the bidder win the bid in an auction that exceeds the true worth or intrinsic value of the item auctioning. In the given scenario the inside managers bid for realistic performance. The outside managers tend to bid for higher performance to get the job. They does not seem to be realistic.
Rapier Woodworking Corporation produces fine cabinets. The company uses a job-order costing system in which its predetermined overhead rate is based on capacity. The capacity of the factory is determined by the capacity of its constraint, which is an automated jointer. Additional information is provided below for the most recent month: Estimates at the beginning of the month: Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 3,819 Capacity of the jointer 190 hours Actual results: Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 3,819 Actual hours of jointer use 160 hours The predetermined overhead rate based on hours at capacity is closest to:
Answer:
The predetermined overhead rate based on hours at capacity is closest to: $20.10 per hour.
Explanation:
Predetermined Rate = Budgeted Fixed Overheads / Budgeted Activity
= $ 3,819 / 190 hours
= $20.10 per hour
Deferred expenses that benefit a relatively short period of time are listed on the balance sheet as current assets. a. True b. False

Galaxy Corp. is considering opening a new division to make iToys that it expects to sell at a price of $15,250 each in the first year of the project. The company expects the cost of producing each iToy to be $6,700 in the first year; however, it expects the selling price and cost per iToy to increase by 3.00% each year.
Based on the preceding information and rounding dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollars, the company expects the selling price in the fourth year of the project to be_______ , and it expects the cost per unit in the fourth year of the project to be _______.
Answer:
Selling price= $17,164
Unitary variable cost= $7,541
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price in the first year= $15,250
Unitary variable cost on the first year= $6,700
Increase rate= 3%
To calculate the selling price and variable cost per unit in the fourth year, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
PV= current value
i= increase rate
n= number of years
Selling price= 15,250*(1.03^4)= $17,164
Unitary variable cost= 6,700*(1.03^4)= $7,541
The current price of a stock is $50, the annual risk-free rate is 6%, and a 1-year call option with a strike price of $55 sells for $7.20. What is the value of a put option, assuming the same strike price and expiration date as for the call option?
Answer:
$9.00.
Explanation:
The computation of the value of a put option is shown below:
Data provided in the question
Current price of the stock = $50
Risk free rate = 6%
Strike price = $55
Sale price = $7.20
Based on the above information
The value of put option is
Put = V - P + X exp(-r t)
= $7.20 - $50 + $55 e RF - 0.06(1)
= $7.20 - $50 + $51.80
= $9.00
Hence, the value of put option is $9
According to the Keynesian transmission mechanism, an increase in the money supply causes a(n) __________ in the interest rate and a(n) __________ in investment, which in turn causes a(n) __________ in total expenditures and aggregate demand.
Answer: lower; rise; raises.
Explanation:
According to the Keynesian transmission mechanism, when there is an increase in money supply which is an expansionary policy, this will result into a reduction in the interest rate.
Since the interest rate has been reduced, this will lead to an increase the in investment as investors will be willing to borrow loan for investment opportunities and this will also lead to a rise in the total demand and expenditure.
The inflation rate over the past year was 3.8 percent. If an investment had a real return of 6.9 percent, what was the nominal return on the investment?
Answer:
Nominal rate of return= 10.96%
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
Nominal rate of return =(1.038)× (1.069) - 1 = 0.109622
Nominal rate of return = 0.109622 × 100 = 10.96%
Nominal rate of return= 10.96%
Decreasing the discount rate is Group of answer choices a contractionary policy because it reduces banks' profit margins by lowering the return on lending. g
Complete Question:
Decreasing the discount rate is:
Group of answer choices:
a) an expansionary policy stance because consumers and businesses can now borrow funds directly from the Fed at a lower cost, thereby encouraging private spending.
b) a contractionary policy stance because the cost of borrowing funds falls, thereby encouraging consumption
and investment spending.
c) a contractionary policy because it reduces banks' profit margins by lowering the return on lending.
d) an expansionary policy stance because it will be less costly for banks to borrow funds and this puts
downward pressure on interest rates in the economy.
Answer:
d) an expansionary policy stance because it will be less costly for banks to borrow funds and this puts
downward pressure on interest rates in the economy.
Explanation:
Decreasing the discount rate is an expansionary policy stance because it will be less costly for banks to borrow funds and this puts downward pressure on interest rates in the economy.
An expansionary monetary policy can be defined as a strategic policy or actions of Central Bank such as "The Fed" that expand or increases the money supply so as to stimulate the economy. The expansionary monetary policies could also be adopted to lower short-term interest rates. Consequently, the effect of the expansionary policy would be to shift the aggregate demand curve to the right, therefore causing economic growth within the country.
Additionally, the interest rate charged on money supply or currencies to banks by the central bank is known as the discount rate.
In conclusion, when banks are charged lowered discount rates, it will cost them less to borrow money from the central bank and as a result there would be an increase in money supply; thus, availing them the opportunity to give out more loans to their customers.

For each scenario, identify which argument is being used to justify trade protectionism.
Argument:
1. Job creation argument
2. National Security argument
3. Infant industry argument
a. Politicians in a small nation want to impose tariffs on foreign food because they believe the nation is too dependent on foreign producers.
b. Lobbyists argue that by prohibiting the importation of manufactured goods, the domestic manufacturing industry will create thousands more jobs.
c. Brazil imposes high tariffs for computer imports so small, domestic manufacturers can develop the technology needed to compete with foreign competitors.
d. Lobbyists argue that raising import tariffs on foreign oil will lead to more domestic jobs in the domestic energy industry.
Answer:
a. Politicians in a small nation want to impose tariffs on foreign food because they believe the nation is too dependent on foreign producers.
2. National Security argumentThis argument is generally used on high tech products, but it is sometimes used to support other industries that are considered essential and very important for a country. The problem is that it always results in higher domestic prices benefiting only a few.
b. Lobbyists argue that by prohibiting the importation of manufactured goods, the domestic manufacturing industry will create thousands more jobs.
1. Job creation argumentUnder this policy, politicians think that they can substitute imports by local products which would favor the trade balance and also generate jobs. The problem is that domestic prices might be very high and consumers will be forced to pay those high prices. Also, other economies can retaliate and the country's exports might be negatively affected.
c. Brazil imposes high tariffs for computer imports so small, domestic manufacturers can develop the technology needed to compete with foreign competitors.
3. Infant industry argumentThis argument is used by politicians that claim that infant industries (or recent, new industries) need to be protected in order to be able to function, prosper and grow. The problem with this argument is that industries operate under a bubble and consumers are charged very high prices for obsolete technology.
d. Lobbyists argue that raising import tariffs on foreign oil will lead to more domestic jobs in the domestic energy industry.
1. Job creation argumentAgain, under this policy, politicians think that they can substitute imports by local products which would favor the trade balance and also generate jobs. The problem is that domestic prices might be very high and consumers will be forced to pay those high prices.

You own a portfolio that is 23 percent invested in Stock X, 38 percent in Stock Y, and 39 percent in Stock Z. The expected returns on these three stocks are 11 percent, 14 percent, and 16 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
The expected return on the portfolio is 14.09%.
Explanation:
Expected return on a portfolio refers to addition of the mu;ti[licatiom of weight in the portfolio and expected return of all the investment in the same portfolio.
Therefore, the expected return on this portfolio can be calculated using the following formula:
PER = (rX * wX) + (rY * wY) + (rZ * wZ) ....................... (1)
Where,
PER = Portfolio expected return = ?
rX = Expected returns on stock X = 11%
wX = Weight of amount invested in stock X = 23%
rY = Expected returns on stock Y = 14%
wY = Weight of amount invested in stock Y = 38%
rZ = Expected returns on stock Z = 16%
wZ = Weight of amount invested in stock Z = 39%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PER = (11% * 23%) + (14% * 38%) + (16% * 39%) = 14.09%
Therefore, the expected return on the portfolio is 14.09%.

Total Cash Payments are as follows:
For March = $95,830
For April = $129,620
For May = $116,210
Explanation:
Note: See the attached Excel file for the schedule of cash payments
The expenses paid in each month can be calculated as follows:
a. March Expenses
Paid in March = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for March - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for March) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($173,900 - $37,000) * 70% = $95,830
Paid in April = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for March - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for March) * Percentage of balance paid = ($173,900 - $37,000) * (100% - 70%) = $41,070
b. April Expenses
Paid in April = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for April - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for April) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($163,500 - $37,000) * 70% = $88,550
Paid in May = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for April - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for April) * Percentage of balance paid = ($173,900 - $37,000) * (100% - 70%) = $37,950
c. May Expenses
Paid in May = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for May - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for May) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($148,800 - $37,000) * 70% = $78,260
A group of 10 people have the following annual incomes:_______.
$24,000, $18,000, $50,000, $100,000, $12,000, $36,000, $80,000, $10,000, $24,000, $16,000.
Calculate the share of total income that each quintile receives from this income distribution. Do the top and bottom quintiles in this distribution have a greater or larger share of total income than the top and bottom quintiles of the U.S. income distribution?
To reduce income inequality, should the marginal tax rates on the top 1% be increased?
Answer:
The answer to this question can be defined as follows:
Explanation:
The very first useful step is to specify homeowners as decreased to increases in revenues. Its bottom quintile will be the lower two homeowners, its second quintile it's third and fourth, and so on to its top quintile, like a total number of homeowners exists.
In the quintiles as well as the percentage of the total revenue and for information compiled. Throughout contrast of 2005, its peak quintile is the US earnings allocation. Its example would be lower than for the allocation in the U.S. as well as the bottom quintile will have a greater proportion of total income. Throughout this model, its distribution of income from this example is generally higher than the US allocation.Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $70,000 or $200,000 with equal probabilities of .5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 6% per year. a. If you require a risk premium of 8%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?
Answer:
$118,421
Explanation:
first we must calculate the expected value of the risky portfolio = ($70,000 x 0.5) + ($200,000 x 0.5) = $135,000
since your risk premium is 8% and the risk free rate is 6%m then you should discount the expected value by 8% + 6% = 14% to determine its current market price
= $135,000 / (1 + 14%) = $118,421
