Tony, a hateful, disgruntled, business law teacher notices that a student, Peter, who is past the age of majority, has a nice motorcycle that is for sale. Peter has struggled through school, is in his last semester, and needs to pass business law in order to graduate. Tony tells Peter that he would like to see Peter pass and, in the next sentence, says that he wants to buy the motorcycle for $100, a price far below the value of the motorcycle. Peter asks if Tony is serious about the price, and Tony replies, "I have the power here! Take it or leave it!" Tony proceeds to draw up a contract for the sale of the motorcycle for $100 which Peter signs. Peter does some research and finds that Tony has had several arrests for driving under the influence in a nearby town. As an act of revenge, Peter tells Tony that unless Tony sells Peter his new Mustang convertible for $50, he is publishing the facts about the arrests in the school newspaper. Tony reluctantly agreed to the deal. Which of the following is true if Tony seeks to rescind the contract for the sale of the Mustang?
A. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of duress.
B. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of misappropriation of name or likeness.
C. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of fraud.
D. Tony may not rescind the contract because truth is involved.
E. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of defamation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of duress.

Explanation:

For contracts to be considered enforceable, a key factor is that the parties involved must have entered into the agreement of their own accord and free will. Therefore Duress, which denies a person of that free will, becomes a reason why a contract can be voided.

Tony sold Peter the Mustang convertible because Peter had threatened to release details that Tony would rather were kept private so Tony capitulated and sold the Mustang. Had Peter not threatened him, Tony would not have sold the car. This shows that Tony only sold the car under duress and as such can void the contract.

The purchase price of a natural gas-fired commercial boiler (capacity X) was $181,000 eight years ago. Another boiler of the same basic design, except with capacity 1.42X, is currently being considered for purchase. If it is purchased, some optional features presently costing $28,000 would be added for your application. If the cost index was 162 for this type of equipment when the capacity X boiler was purchased and is 221 now, and the applicable cost capacity factor is 0.8, what is your estimate of the purchase price for the new boiler

Answers

Answer:

$308,500.85

Explanation:

$181,000 eight years ago in real dollars was $181,000 / 162 = $111,728.40

new boiler with a 1.42X capacity x capacity factor = 1.42 x 0.8 = 1.136 (the price of the new boiler is 1.136 times the old boiler)

current price of the new boiler in real dollars = 1.136 x $111,728.40 = $126,923.46

real dollars converted to current nominal dollars = $126,923.46 x 2.21 = $280,500.85

price of the new boiler + additional optional features = $280,500.85 + $28,000 = $308,500.85

Calvert Corporation expects an EBIT of $25,300 every year forever. The company currently has no debt, and its cost of equity is 15.3 percent. The company can borrow at 10.1 percent and the corporate tax rate is 25 percent. a. What is the current value of the company

Answers

Answer:

Value of the company = $124,019.61

Explanation:

The value of then firm is the present value of its expected future cash inflow discounted at its required rate of return.

In this case, the earnings available to ordinary shareholders becomes the annual cash inflow while the appropriate discount rate is the cost of equity.

The absence of debt in the company's capital structure implies that the cost of equity would be the appropriate discount rate.

And the  value of the company would be determined as follows

Value of the company = Earnings after tax/Cost of equity

Earnings after tax = EBIT × (1-Tax rate)= 25,300×(1-0.25)=18,975

Cost of equity = 15.3%

Value of the company = 18975 /0.153= 124,019.6078

Value of the company = $124,019.61

A company manufactures and sells two products: Product A1 and Product C4. Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below:

Expected Production Direct Labor-Hours Per Unit Total Direct Labor-Hours
Product A1 500 2.0 1,000
Product C4 200 1.0 200
Total direct labor-hours 1,200

The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH. The direct materials cost per unit is $281 for Product A1 and $267 for Product C4. The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity:

Estimated Expected
Activity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product C1 Product M2 Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 7,200 7,700 14,900
Production orders Orders 75,240 500 600 1,100
General factory MHs 886,410 4,400 4,600 9,000
$1,520,102

The total cost per unit of Product C4 under activity-based costing is closest to: ____________

Answers

Answer:

Unitary cost= $4,207.85

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product C4:

Production= 200 units

Direct labor hours per unit= 1

Total DLH= 200

The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH.

The direct materials cost per unit is $267

Activity Cost Pools -  Overhead Cost - Product C4 -  Total

Labor-related DLHs $558,452 - 7,700 - 14,900

Production orders Orders $75,240 - 600 - 1,100

General factory MHs $886,410 - 4,600 - 9,000

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Labor-related= 558,452/14,900= $37.48 per DLH

Production orders= 75,240/1,100= $68.4 per order

General factory= 886,410/9,000= $98.49 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to C4 as a whole:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Labor-related= 37.48*7,700= $288,596

Production orders= 68.4*600= $41,040

General factory= 98.49*4,600= $453,054

Total= $782,690

Finally, the total cost and cost per unit:

Total cost= 200*267 + 200*27.4 + 782,690

Total cost= $841,570

Unitary cost= 841,570/200= $4,207.85

bond j has a coupon rate of 3 percent and bond k has a coupon rate of 9 percent. Both bonds have 13 years to maturity, make semiannual payments, and have a YTM of 6 percent. what if rates suddenly fall by 2 percent instesd?

Answers

Answer:

if interest rates fall by 2%

price of bond j will increase to $756.83, price change = $756.83 - $663.28 = $93.55 or 14.1%

price of bond k will increase to $1,317.99, price change = $1,317.99 - $1,224.47 = $93.52 or 7.64%

Explanation:

bond j coupon rate 3%, 13 years to maturity, semiannual payments, YTM 6%

bond k coupon rate 9%, 13 years to maturity, semiannual payments, YTM 6%

current market price of bond j:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

0.03 = {15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]

0.015(1,000 + market value) = 15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]

15 + 0.015market value = 15 + 35.46 - 0.038market value

0.05346market value = 35.46

market value = 35.46 / 0.05346 = $663.28

current market price of bond k:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

0.03 = {45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]

0.015(1,000 + market value) = 45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]

15 + 0.015market value = 15 + 65.46 - 0.038market value

0.05346market value = 65.46

market value = 65.46 / 0.05346 = $1,224.47

if YTM decrease by 2%, then:

new market price of bond j:

0.02 = {15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]

0.01(1,000 + market value) = 15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]

10 + 0.01market value = 15 + 35.46 - 0.038market value

0.05346market value = 40.46

market value = 40.46 / 0.05346 = $756.83

new market price of bond k:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

0.02 = {45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]

0.01(1,000 + market value) = 45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]

10 + 0.01market value = 15 + 65.46 - 0.038market value

0.05346market value = 70.46

market value = 70.46 / 0.05346 = $1,317.99

Determine the amount of money that must be invested now​ (time 0) at 10​% nominal​ interest, compounded​ monthly, to provide an annuity of ​$7 comma 000 per year for 12 ​years, starting eight years from now. The interest rate remains constant over this entire period of time.

Answers

Answer:

the amount of money that must be invested now is $21068.87

Explanation:

Given that:

Nominal interest = 10%

Annuity = 7000

n = 8 years

The Effective interest rate is calculated by using the formula:

Effective interest rate = [tex]( 1 + \dfrac{r}{100 \times n})^n-1[/tex]

Effective interest rate = [tex]( 1 + \dfrac{10}{100 \times 8})^8-1[/tex]

Effective interest rate = 0.1045

Effective interest rate = 10.45 %

Thus ; the the amount of money that must be invested now​  is the present value with the annuity of ​$7, 000 per year for 12 ​years, starting eight years from now.

[tex]PV = 7000(\dfrac{(1+ 0.1045)^{12}-1}{0.1045(1 + 0.1045)^{12}})( \dfrac{1}{(1+ 0.1045)^8})[/tex]

PV = 7000 × 6.666056912 × 0.4515171371

PV = $21068.87

Thus; the amount of money that must be invested now is $21068.87

Unearned Revenue is a liability account that is used to record revenue that the business has received but not yet earned because the goods and services have not yet been provided. By crediting Accrued revenue to this account, it increases it when it is not supposed to so Liabilities are overstated.

Accrued Revenue go to the Accounts Receivable section of the balance sheet to indicate that the business is owed for goods or services provided and so have nothing to do with Net Income so there is no error there.

Answers

Answer: $17 (to the nearest dollar)

Explanation:

The Cash in the price of the stock price is represented by the formula;

Cash = [tex]\frac{Cash and Cash Equivalents}{Market Capitalisation} *Share Price[/tex]

Cash = [tex]\frac{127,662,000,000}{902,635,911,922} *$117.67[/tex]

Required:
a. Prepare an income statement for the upcoming year using variable costing.
b. Prepare an income statement for the upcoming year using absorption costing.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

Absorption costing income statement:

Sales= 12,000*54= 648,000

COGS= (12,000*27) + 120,000= (444,000)

Gross profit= 204,000

Total operating expenses= (12,000*4) + 92,000= (140,000)

Net operating income= 64,000

Variable costing income statement:

Sales= 648,000

Total variable cost= 12,000*(27 + 4)= (372,000)

Total contribution margin= 276,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead= (120,000)

Fixed operating expenses= (92,000)

Net operating income= 64,000

Suppose you deposit ​$ cash into your checking account. By how much will the total money supply increase as a result when the required reserve ratio is 0.​0?

Answers

Answer:

If the required reserve ratio is 0, that means that the money multiplier will be infinite. I guess the question is incomplete.

I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:

If you deposit $2,400 and the required reserve ratio is 0.4, then by how much does the money supply increase?

first we must determine the money multiplier = 1 / required reserve ratio = 1 / 0.4 = 2.5

to determine the total effect on the money supply we just multiply the deposit by the multiplier = $2,400 x 2.5 = $6,000 increase.

Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

if i hadn't quit my job, i would be earning $30,000. so, $30,000 is one of my opportunity costs.

also, if i hadn't started my business, i would be earning 0.1 x $70,000 = $7,000 on my capital. this is my second opportunity cost.

total opportunity cost = $7,000 + $30,000 = $37,000

Mr. Meyers wishes to know how many shares are necessary to elect 6 directors out of 14 directors up for election in the Austin Power Company. There are 74,000 shares outstanding.

Answers

Answer: 29,601 shares

Explanation:

When calculating the number of shares required to elect a certain number of directors given the shares outstanding, use the formula;

Shares required = ((Number of directors required)*(Total number of shares outstanding) / (Total number of directors + 1)) + 1

= (6 * 74,000) / ( 14 + 1) + 1

=( 444,000/15) + 1

Optimal size of the production run is the size of the Production run that minimizes set -up costs and holding costs.

Optimal size of the production run = √ (2 × Annual Production Demand × Set-up Cost) / Holding Cost per unit

                                                          = √(2 × 9,000 × $49) / $0.10

                                                          = 2,969.85 or 2,970 flashing lights

Average holding cost = Optimal size of the production run /2 × Holding Cost per unit

                                     = 2,970/2 × $0.10                        

                                     = $148.50

Average setup cost = Annual Production Demand / Optimal size of the production run × Cost per set -up

                                = 9,000 / 2,970 × $49

                                = $148.50

Total Cost = Average holding cost + Average setup cost

                 = $148.50 + $148.50

                 = $297.00

Our company sells a product for $150 per unit. Variable costs are $90 per unit and fixed costs are $18,000. The company expects to sell 800 units this year. What is the contribution margin in total dollars

Answers

Answer:

$48,000

Explanation:

From the question, we are given the following;

Per unit selling price of the product = $150

Variable costs per unit = $90

Fixed costs = $18,000

Expected units to be sold 800

Therefore,

Contribution margin in dollars = Selling price - Variable costs

= ($150 × 800) -($90 × 800)

= $120,000 - $72,000

=$48,000

Watson consulting, llc is a consultancy to consultants. They have bonds which have a face value of $1,000. The bonds carry a 3.5 percent semi-annual coupon, and mature in 10 years. What is the current price of these bonds if the yield to maturity (the going market rate, rd) is 5 percent

Answers

Answer:

The current market price is $ 883.08  

Explanation:

The current market price can be ascertained using the pv excel function as follows:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the semiannual yield to maturity which is 5%/2

nper is the number of semiannual coupons in the bond i.e 10*2=20

pmt is the semiannual coupon=3.5%*1/2*$1000=$17.5

fv is the face value of the bond

=-pv(5%/2,20,17.5,1000)=$ 883.08  

It is better to evaluate economic decisions at the marginal, where the decision has to be made as long as its marginal benefit exceeds its marginal cost, if not equal to its marginal cost.
A. True
B. False

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

Output is always maximised where Marginal Benefit is above Marginal Cost. Ideally speaking, Marginal Benefits should be equal to Marginal Costs but Marginal Benefits being greater than cost is still a good thing because it means that there is still room for expansion until such a point as the MB = MC.

However, if it starts costing more per unit to gain a benefit per unit MB < MC, the decision makers can know to limit the activity because this will cause losses. This is why it is better to make decisions at a Marginal level so that one may know when output is maximised as well as when to rein in production.

A buyer is getting a fully amortized loan for $220,000. The bank will give the buyer the loan for 15 years at 5 1/2% or for 30 years at 6 1/2%. To the nearest dollar, what is the difference between the monthly payments for these two loans?

Answers

Answer:

Difference in monthly payment=$407.0339

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

The monthly installment is computed as follows:  

Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor

Loan amount; =220,000

Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months

First option

monthly interest rate = 5.5% =0.458 %, n- 15×12

Annuity factor= (1-(1+0.055)^(-180 )/0.055 =122.38

Monthly repayment = 220,000/122.386 = 1797.58

Second option

r- 6.5%/12 = 0.542  % n = 15×12 = 180

Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+0.00542)^(-360))/0.005 42= 158.21

Monthly installment = 220,000/1390.549  = 1390.54

Difference in monthly payment = 1,797.583 -  1390.54 =  407.0339

Difference in monthly payment=407.0339
