Suppose someone offered to sell you a note calling for the payment of $1,000 15 months from today. They offer to sell it to you for $850. You have $850 in a bank time deposit which pays a 7% effective annual interest rate (compounding), and you plan to leave the money in the bank unless you buy the note. The note is not risky--you are sure it will be paid on schedule. Should you buy the note?

Check the decision in three ways:

a. By comparing your future value if you buy the note versus leaving your money in the bank.
b. By comparing the PV of the note with your current bank account.
c. By comparing the EFF% on the note with that of the bank account.

An assisted-living facility provides services in the form of residential space, meals, and other occupant assistance (OOA) to its occupants. The facility currently uses a traditional cost accounting system that charges each occupant a daily rate equal to the facility’s annual cost of providing residential space, meals, and OOA divided by total occupant days. However, an activity-based costing (ABC) analysis has revealed that occupants’ use of OOA varies substantially. This analysis determined that occupants could be grouped into three categories (low, moderate, and high usage of OOA) and that the activity driver of OOA should be nursing hours. The driver of the residential space and meals is occupant days. The following quantitative information was also provided: Annual Annual Occupant Category Occupant Days Nursing Hours Low usage 36,000 90,000 Medium usage 18,000 90,000 High usage 6,000 120,000 60,000 300,000 The total annual cost of OOA was $7.5 million, and the total annual cost of providing residential space and meals was $7.2 million. Accordingly, the ABC analysis indicates that the daily costing rate for providing residential space, meals, and OOA should be:__________

The City of Troy collects its annual property taxes late in its fiscal year. Consequently, each year it must finance part of its operating budget using tax anticipation notes. The notes are repaid upon collection of property taxes. On April 1, the city estimated that it will require $2,500,000 to finance governmental activities for the remainder of the fiscal year. On that date, it had $770,000 of cash on hand and $830,000 of current liabilities. Collections for the remainder of the year from revenues other than current property taxes and from delinquent property taxes, including interest and penalties, were estimated at $1,100,000.


Required:
Calculate the estimated amount of tax anticipation financing that will be required for the remainder of the current fiscal year. Assume that on April 2, the City of Troy borrowed the amount calculated in part a by signing tax anticipation notes bearing 6 percent per annum to a local bank. Record the issuance of the tax anticipation notes in the general journals of the General Fund and governmental activities at the government-wide level.

Two important industries on the island of Bermuda are fishing and tourism. According to data from the World Resources Institute and the Bermuda Department of Statistics, in the year 2000 the 307 registered fishermen in Bermuda caught 286 metric tons of marine fish. And the 3,409 people employed by hotels produced 538,000 hotel stays (measured by the number of visitor arrivals). Suppose that this production point is efficient in production. Assume also that the opportunity cost of one additional metric ton of fish is 2,000 hotel stays and that this opportunity cost is constant (the opportunity cost does not change).
a. If all 307 registered fishermen were to be employed by hotels (in addition to the 3,409 people already working in hotels), how many hotel stays could Bermuda produce?
b. If all 3,409 hotel employees were to become fishermen (in addition to the 307 fishermen already working in the fishing industry), how many metric tons of fish could Bermuda produce?
c. Draw a production possibility frontier for Bermuda, with fish on the horizontal axis and hotel stays on the vcrtical axis, and label Bermuda’s actual production point for the year 2000.

Harper, Inc. acquires 40 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Kinman Company on January 1, 2017, for $322,000 in cash. The book value of Kinman net assets on that date was $665,000, although one of the company's buildings, with a $70,800 carrying amount, was actually worth $114,300.
