Answer:
Interest rates would rise.
Explanation:
There would be a decrease in the amount of loanable funds borrowed.
if the government were to increase the tax on interest income, a reduction in the amount of funds borrowed would happen because the cost of borrowing would then become higher and people would have to pay more than they would have paid for every amount borrowed
A security held in a well-diversified portfolio that has a beta of zero in a one-factor model will have an expected return of:
Answer:
The answer is risk free rate.
Explanation:
Beta is a risk arising from systematic risk or market risk.
A portfolio with a beta of zero would have the same expected return as the risk-free rate. Such a portfolio would have zero correlation with market movements.
Market risk cannot be diversified. Examples of zero beta assets are cash and US treasury bill.
Which of the following is true about mortgage-backed securities? I) They aggregate individual home mortgages into homogeneous pools. II) The purchaser receives monthly interest and principal payments received from payments made on the pool. III) The banks that originated the mortgages maintain ownership of them. IV) The banks that originated the mortgages continue to service them.
Answer:
I ,II and IV
Explanation:
Mortgage backed securities are either a claim for equity in a pool of mortgages, or a duty secured by a pool. Such claims reflect home loan securities. Loans borrow from mortgage lenders and then sell bundles of those loans on the resale market.
Specifically, once those loans are paid off, they sell their claim to the mortgage cash inflows. The issuer of the mortgage needs to maintain the loan, receiving principal and interest payments, and transfers those payments on to the mortgage borrower.
Therefore according to the given situation the correct answer is I, II, IV
The company wants to end each month with ending finished goods inventory equal to 10% of the next month’s sales. Finished goods inventory on December 31 is 280 units. The budgeted production units for January are:
Answer:
Budgeted production in January 2,910 units
Explanation:
Calculation for the budgeted production units for January
Using this formula
Budgeted production in January= Budgeted sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory available
Let plug in the formula
Budgeted production in January=2,800 + (3,900*10%) - 280
Budgeted production in January=$2,800+$390-280
Budgeted production in January= 2,910 units
Therefore the Budgeted production in units for January are: 2,910 units

Bermuda Triangle Corporation (BTC) currently has 390,000 shares of stock outstanding that sell for $102 per share. Assume no market imperfections or tax effects exist. Determine the share price and new number of shares outstanding if: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your price per share answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16, and shares outstanding answers to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) a. BTC has a five-for-three stock split. b. BTC has a 10 percent stock dividend. c. BTC has a 37.0 percent stock dividend. d. BTC has a four-for-seven reverse stock split.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of each points is shown below:-
a. BTC has a five-for-three stock split is
New price = Old price × Split ratio
= 102 × 3 ÷ 5
= 61.2
New shares outstanding = old shares outstanding ÷ Split ratio
= 390,000 × 5 ÷ 3
= 650,000
b. BTC has a 10 percent stock dividend is
New price = Old price ÷ (1 + Stock dividend)
= 102 ÷ (1 + 0.1)
= 92.73
New shares outstanding = Old shares outstanding × (1 + Stock dividend)
= 390,000 × (1 + 0.1)
= 429,000
c. BTC has a 37.0 percent stock dividend is
New price = Old price ÷ (1 + Stock dividend)
= 102 ÷ (1 + 0.37)
= 74.45
New shares outstanding = Old shares outstanding × (1 + Stock dividend)
= 390,000 × (1 + 0.37)
= 534,300
d. BTC has a four-for-seven reverse stock split is
New price = Old price × Split ratio
= 102 × (7 ÷ 4)
= 178.5
New shares outstanding = Old shares outstanding ÷ Split ratio
= 390,000 × (4 ÷ 7)
= 222,857.14

In response, the Federal Reserve cuts the federal funds rate in order to avoid unemployment. Consider what happens to the following under a fixed exchange-rate regime.
a. Domestic investment would increase
b. Capital inflow would decrease
c. Capital outflow would increase
d. The exchange rate would be unchanged
e. Net exports would be unchanged
f. Aggregate demand would increase
Answer: All Variables will remain unchanged
Explanation:
Monetary Policy has no effect on a country's domestic currency because it is simply ineffective when it is in a fixed exchange rate regime. This is because, when monetary policy is used, it tends to change the exchange rate but because the Fed will be engaging in a fixed exchange regime, it will act to normalise the exchange rate which will bring the currency back to equilibrium.
For instance, if the Fed embarks on expansionary monetary policy and pegs its currency to the Euro. The expansionary policy will lead to a drop in interest rates which is supposed to help GDP. However as a result of lower rates, the dollar will depreciate and more people will demand Euros. The Fed will intervene to keep the Euro and the Dollar at the same level (fixed exchange) and sell Euros in its reserves while reducing dollars. This will bring the interest rate and currencies back to its original level so there will be no benefit.
Monetary policy is ineffective under a Fixed Rate regime so one of the variables will change.

For the month of July, Jacobs Company incurs a direct materials cost of $6,000 for 6,000 gallons of paint produced in its Mixing Department. It also incurs conversion costs of $1,470 with 70% completed. If the conversion cost per equivalent unit was $0.25 per gallon in June, what is the difference in the conversion cost per equivalent unit between the month of June and July.
Solution :
First Calculate the Total Equivalent Units of Production for Conversion Cost for July
Total Equivalent Units = 6,000 × 70%
= 4,200
Then Calculate the Cost per Equivalent Unit for July
Cost per Equivalent Unit = Total Cost / Total Equivalent Units
= $1,470 / 4,200
= $0.35
Difference = $0.35 - $0.25
= $0.10

The ending balance of stockholders' equity is $607,000 and the ending balance of fixed assets is $396,000. The fixed asset turnover ratio is closest to:
Answer:
3.46
Explanation:
Calculation for Campbell Co. fixed asset turnover ratio
First step is to find the Average net fixed assets
Using this formula
Average Fixed assets= Fixed assets Beginning balance +Fixed assets ending balance /2
Let plug in the formula
Average Fixed assets= $368,000 + $396,000/ 2
Average Fixed assets=$764,000/2
Average Fixed assets=$382,000
Second step is to calculate for the Fixed asset turnover
Using this formula
Fixed asset turnover = Net revenue ÷ Average net fixed assets
Let plug in the formula
Fixed asset turnover= $1,320,000 ÷ $382,000
Fixed asset turnover= 3.46
Therefore Campbell Co. fixed asset turnover ratio will be 3.46
4. Calculate the required rate of return for Manning Enterprises assuming that investors expect 3.5% rate of inflation in the future. The real risk-free rate is 2.5%, and the market risk premium is 6.5% Manning has a beta of 1.7, and its realized rate of return has averaged 13.5% over the past 5 years.
Answer: 17.05%
Explanation:
Given the variables available, the method to be used to calculate the required return is the Capital Asset Pricing Model with the formula;
Required Return = Nominal Risk-free rate + beta ( Market premium)
Nominal Risk-free rate = real risk-free rate + inflation
= 2.5% + 3.5%
= 6%
Required Return = 6% + 1.7 ( 6.5%)
Required Return = 6% + 11.05%
Required Return = 17.05%

10 500
11 600
12 690
13 760
14 800
marginal output of 11 th labor = 600 - 500 = 100
price of each product = 7
marginal revenue product of 11 th labor 7 x 100 = 700
B )
price of each of the goods sold = 10
marginal factor cost of labour = 700
minimum no of goods to be sold to cover the labour cost
= 700 / 10 = 70
no of goods added due to addition of 11 the labour = 100
no of goods added due to addition of 12 the labour = 90
no of goods added due to addition of 13 the labour = 70
so no of units of labor upto which the firm will continue to hire
= 13 .
Net capital outflow and net exports An open economy interacts with the rest of the world through its involvement in world markets for goods and services and world financial markets. Although it can often result in an imbalance in these markets, the following identity must remain true: In other words, If a transaction directly affects the left side of this equation, then It must also affect the right side. The following problem will help you understand why this Identity must hold. Suppose you are a fashion designer Living In the United States, and a trendy boutique in Bangkok just purchased your entire inventory for THB 80,000.
Determine the effects of this transaction on exports, imports, and net exports in the U.S. economy, and enter your results in the following table. If the direction of change is 'No change,'' enter ''0'' in the Magnitude of Change column. Hint: The magnitude of change should always be positive, regardless of the direction of change. Because of the identity equation that relates)_________ to net exports, the in U.S. net exports Is matched by _________in U.S. net capital outflow. Which of the following Is an example of how the United States might be affected in this scenario?
a. You store the Thai baht in your safety deposit box at home.
b. You purchase THB 48,000 worth of stock in a Thai corporation and THB 32,000 worth of Thai bonds.
c. You exchange the THB 80,000 for dollars at your local bank, which then uses the foreign currency to purchase stock in a Thai corporation.
Answer:
1. a. Exports will increase by THB 80,000
You live in the US and you just sold something to someone outide the US. This is an export so you increased US exports by THB 80,000.
b. Imports will be $0.
You did not import anything from outside the country.
c. Net Exports will be THB 80,000
Net Exports are Exports less imports for a given period.
= 80,000 - 0
= THB 80,000
2. Because of the identity equation that relates to net exports, increase in U.S. net exports Is matched by an increase in U.S. net capital outflow.
As a result of the US exporting goods, money from other countries come into it. This flow of capital into the US contributes to the U.S. net capital outflow.
3. a. You store the Thai baht in your safety deposit box at home.
b. You purchase THB 48,000 worth of stock in a Thai corporation and THB 32,000 worth of Thai bonds.
c. You exchange the THB 80,000 for dollars at your local bank, which then uses the foreign currency to purchase stock in a Thai corporation.
In the first scenario, the US would be affected because even though money came in, it is not being used but it rather sitting ideal at home.
In the other 2 scenarios, the money was not used to purchase thing in the US but rather went back outside the country. This means that capital flowed out of the US so negatively affects her Net Capital Outflow.
Net capital outflow refers to the amount that is credited from the country and debited to the other country. This means the country faces an outflow of funds. Exports are the activity in which the goods and services are delivered to the other parts of the country.
1. a. Exports will increase by THB 80,000
Living in the US and you just sold something to someone outside the US. This is export so you increased US exports by THB 80,000.
b. Imports will be $0.
No imports from the other country.
c. Net Exports will be THB 80,000
Net Exports are Exports fewer imports for a given period.
= 80,000 - 0
= THB 80,000
2. Because of the identity equation that relates to net exports, an increase in U.S. net exports Is matched by an increase in U.S. net capital outflow.
As a result of the US exporting goods, money from other countries comes into it. This flow of capital into the US contributes to the U.S. net capital outflow.

Explanation:
estimated restoration costs = ($330,000 x .25) + ($430,000 x .4) + ($630,000 x .35) = $475,000
now we must adjust the restoration cost and determine its present value = $475,000 x 0.68301 (present value factor, 10%, 4 periods) = $324,430
total cost of copper mine = purchase cost + preparation costs + restoration costs = $1,150,000 + $630,000 + $324,430 = $2,104,430

The refractive index of a rarer medium with respect to a denser medium is.....
A)Greater than 1
B) Smaller Than 1
C) Negative
D)-1
Answer:
B) Smaller Than 1
Explanation:
Snell's Law states that the ratio of the sines of incidence and refraction is equal to the ratio of the phase of velocities in the two phases. When light travels from a rarer medium like air to a denser medium like water, the light would be refracted towards the normal line. For example, the refractive index of air with respect to glass is represented as;
sin i / sin r
If light rays travel from glass which is a denser medium to a rarer medium which is air, the light rays would bend away from the normal line, and then the angle of refraction would be greater than the angle of incidence. So, the refractive index of the rarer medium which is air with respect to the denser medium which is glass will be smaller than 1.
If an investment center has a $90,000 controllable margin and $1,200,000 of sales, what average operating assets are needed to have a return on investment of 10%
Answer:
Average operating assets is $900,000
Explanation:
The formula for return on investment stated below is the starting for solving this question:
return on investment= Net operating income / Average operating assets
return on investment is 10%
net operating income is the same as controllable margin of $90,000
Average operating assets is the unknown
10%=90000/average operating assets
average operating assets=90000/10%
average operating assets=$900,000
Spacefood Products will pay a dividend of $ 2.40 per share this year. It is expected that this dividend will grow by 6% per year each year in the future. What will be the current value of a single share of Spacefood's stock if the firm's equity cost of capital is 13%?
Answer:
$34.29
Explanation:
Spacefood will pay a dividend of $2.40 per share
The dividend is expected to grow by 6%
= 6/100
= 0.06
The firm's equity cost of capital is 13%
= 13/100
= 0.13
Therefore, the current value of a single share of spacefood stock can be calculated as follows
Po= dividend/(equity cost of capital-growth rate)
= 2.4/(0.13-0.06)
= 2.4/0.07
= $34.29
Hence the Current value of a single share of Spacefoods's stock is $34.29
what is the annual percentage yield(APY) for money at an annual rate of (a)4.57% monthly (b)4.58% compunded quartelty
Answer:
a)Annual rate of return = 4.67%
(b)Annual rate of return = 4.66%
Explanation:
Annul rate of return where compounding is done more frequenting could be worked out as follows:
Annual rate of return = (1+r)^n - 1
r - rate of return per period
n- number of periods in a year
a) Monthly rate of 4.57%
r- monthly rate = 4.57%/12 = 0.38% per month
n- 12 months
Annual rate of return = (1+ 0.003808)^12 - 1 × 100 = 4.67%
Annual rate of return = 4.67%
b) 4.58% compounded quarterly
r- quarterly rate = 4.58%/4 = 1.145 %
n- 4 quarters in a year
Annual rate of return = (1+0.01145)^4 - 1 × 100= 4.66%
a)4.57% monthly
Annual rate of return = 4.67%
(b)4.58% compounded quarterly
Annual rate of return = 4.66%

Furniture costing $61,700 is sold at its book value in 2017. Acquisitions of furniture total $50,000 cash, on which no depreciation is necessary because it is acquired at year-end. What is the cash inflow related to the sale of furniture
Answer:
cash inflow = $32,100
Explanation:
there is some information missing:
accumulated depreciation 2016 (furniture) = $9,000depreciation expense 2017 (furniture) = $37,600accumulated depreciation 2017 (furniture) = $17,000we must first determine the book value of the furniture which was sold:
total depreciation related to the sold furniture = $9,000 + $37,600 - $17,000 = $29,600
book value = $61,700 - $29,600 = $32,100
since the furniture was sold at book value, then the cash inflow = $32,100
Cash inflow refers to money being received or earned by the company, while cash outflows refer to money being paid by the company.
