Answer: Increased payables and decreased bank loans
Explanation:
It should be noted that 3/10, net 30 simply means when customer pays in 10 days, such person will get a 3% discount, if not the person will have to pay in full within the 30 days.
On the other hand, 2/20, net 90 means that when customer pays in 20 days, such person will get a 2% discount, if not the person will have to pay in full within the 90 days.
Therefore, the change that this will lead to on the balance sheets of its customers will be an increased payables as there'll be more time to make payment for the goods and decreased bank loans.
Jake lives in Detroit and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $722,000 from selling boats. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $422,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $268,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $2,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Jake does not operate this boat business, he can work as a paralegal, receive an annual salary of $21,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $2,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business.
Identify each of Felix’s costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling guitars.

The wholesale cost for the guitars that Felix pays the manufacturer
The rental income Felix could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
The salary Felix could earn if he worked as a paralegal
The wages and utility bills that Felix pays
Complete the following table by determining Felix’s accounting and economic profit of his guitar business. Profit (Dollars)Accounting Profit Economic Profit
Answer:
Explicit Cost
The wholesale cost for the guitars that Felix pays the manufacturerThe wages and utility bills that Felix paysImplicit Cost
The salary Felix could earn if he worked as a paralegal The wages and utility bills that Felix paysAccounting profit = $32,000
Economic profit = $9,000
Explanation:
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Total revenue =price x quantity sold
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business.
They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
If a firm has invested in corporate bonds, it may engage in a financial futures contract in order to protect itself from :___________
a. declining interest rates.
b. rising interest rates.
c. inflation.
d. changes in hedging activities.
Answer:
b. rising interest rates.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (creditor or investor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time.
Generally, the bond issuer is expected to return the principal at maturity with an agreed upon interest to the bondholder, which is payable at fixed intervals.
The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid. Thus, a bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.
In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium.
Generally, if a business firm has invested in corporate bonds, it may engage in a financial futures contract in order to protect itself from rising interest rates.
Sebastian received a raise this year so his income climbed from $45,000 to $52,000. Last year Sebastian purchased 2 sunglasses. This year he has purchased 7 sunglasses. Assuming that all of the other things remain constant, what type of a good are sunglasses and what type of income elasticity of demand does Sebastian have
Answer:
normal good
elastic demand
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.
Income elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in income
percentage change in quantity demanded = (7/2) - 1 = 250%
percentage change in income = (52,000 / 45,000) - 1 = 15.6%
250 / 15.6 = 16.07
If the absolute value of income elasticity of demand is greater than one, it means demand is elastic.
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls
Inferior goods are goods whose demand falls when income rises and increases when income falls.
A US Treasury is quoted at $137.111 based on $100 par. Today is 12/31/2020. Assume that transaction date and settlement date is the same. The coupon rate is 8%. The bond has 30-year maturity. What is the yield-to-maturity
Answer: 5.46%
Explanation:
You can use excel to solve for this.
Number of periods = 30
Coupon = Payment = 8% * 100 = $8
PV = $137.11
FV = $100 par value
Do this and the YTM would be: 5.46%
This makes sense because the bond is trading at a premium which means that the YTM is less than the coupon rate.
You are selling an asset. you can earn an interest rate of 7% per yer on your savings. You receive the following two (risk less) offers:
Offer 1: receive $400,000 today
Offer 2: Receive $500,000 in 4 years
a. Which offer should you choose?
b. At what interest rate would you be indifferent between the two offers?
Answer:
Option 1
5.737126344%
Explanation:
to determine which option i would prefer today, i would need to determine the present value of offer 2
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
[tex]\frac{500,000}{1.07^{4} }[/tex] = $381,447.61
I would prefer the first option because its present value is greater than that of option 2
The interest rate that would make me indifferent between either options would be the interest at which the present value of $500,000 in 4 years is $400,000
$400,000 = [tex]\frac{500,000}{(1 + x)^{4} }[/tex]
$400,000[tex](1 + x)^{4}[/tex] = $500,000
500,000 / 400,000= (1 + x)^{4}
1.25 = (1 + x)^{4}
[tex]1.25^{0.25}[/tex] = 1 + x
x = 5.737126344%
Two years ago, Kuley invested $20,900. She has earned and will earn compound interest of 7.8 percent per year. In 3 years from today, Nabax can make an investment and earn simple interest of 5.3 percent per year. If Nabax wants to have as much in 7 years from today as Kuley will have in 7 years from today, then how much should Nabax invest in 3 years from today
Answer:
$73306.46
Explanation:
Compound interest = Principal(1+rate/n)^nt
If Kuley invested $20900 and compound interest rate of 7.8% per year for 7 years then,
Compound interest in 7 years =$20900(1+7.8/12)^12×7
=$20900×1.7233= $36016.97
After 3 years, Nabax would have 4 years left to make what kuley made in 7 years
Kuley made compound interest of $36016.97-$20900= $15116.97
Nabax will invest for 4 years at simple interest rate of 5.3%
Simple interest = principal×time×rate/100
We substitute to get his needed amount(principal)
$15116.97=Principal×4×5.3/100
$15116.97= 21.2Principal/100
Cross multiply to make principal subject of the formula:
Principal= 1511697/21.2
Principal = $73306.46
Therefore Nabax needs to invest $73306.46 to get the same amount of return that kuley got in 7 years
Market efficiency is probably the most controversial concept in finance. Even recent winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics come down on opposite sides of the issue. Nonetheless, it is important for you to grapple with this idea. It has very important practical implications for investment decisions, including (especially) for your personal investment decision. In particular, should you pursue active or passive strategies
Answer:
Active strategies should be pursued when the market is more volatile, with larger fluctuations over a shorter period of time, that require a more active management of a portfolio, in order to take advantage of fast changing positions in different assets, and also in order to avoid possible losses due to staying in particular positions for too long.
Passive strategies is more long-term focused, and should be pursued when the economy is more stable. Passive strategies should be analyzed carefully before execution because once the passive investment is made, the idea is to keep the position for a long period of time instead of buying and selling constantly as in a active strategy.
Vextra Corporation is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $38,000.The projected annual cash inflow is $11,600, to be received at the end of each year.The machine has a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value.Vextra requires a 12% return on its investments.The present value of an annuity of $1 for different periods follows:Periods 12 Percent1 0.89292 1.69013 2.40184 3.0373What is the net present value of the machine (rounded to the nearest whole dollar)?a. $(35,233).b. $(2,767).c. $38,000.d. $(3,700).e. $5,233.
Answer:
b. $(2,767).
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below:
= Present cash flows - initial investment
= ($11,600 × 3.0373) - $38,000
= $35,232.68 - $38,000
= -$2,767.32
= -$2,767
Hence, the option b is correct
We simply applied the above formula to determine the net present value
The contribution margin ratio is interpreted as the percent of: Multiple choice question. each variable cost dollar that remains after deducting fixed costs each sales dollar that remains after deducting fixed costs each sales dollar that remains after deducting unit variable cost
Answer: each sales dollar that remains after deducting unit variable cost
Explanation:
The contribution margin ratio is interpreted as the percent of each sales dollar that remains after the deduction of unit variable cost.
The contribution margin ratio refers to the difference between the sales that a company makes and its variable costs which is expressed as a percentage. The ratio simply indicates the amount of money that is available to cover the fixed costs.
To obtain an FHA-insured loan, the buyers will have to pay a MIP of 1.75 points, which will be financed into the loan. What will be the amount of their loan if FHA insures 96.5% of the appraised value and this property appraises for $210,000 (the maximum loan the FHA will insure in their area is $271,000)?
Answer:
$206,196.38
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what will be the amount of their loan
Loan Amount=($210,000 × 0.965)+[($210,000 × 0.965)×0.0175]
Loan Amount=$202,650+ ($202,650 × 0.0175)
Loan Amount=$202,650 + $3,546.38
Loan Amount= $206,196.38
Therefore What will be the amount of their loan is $206,196.38
For Sanborn Co., sales is $1,000,000, fixed expenses are $300,000, and the contribution margin per unit is $60. What is the break-even point? g
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 5,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= $1,000,000
Fixed expenses= $300,000
Contribution margin per unit= $60
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 300,000 / 60
Break-even point in units= 5,000

This is not so with options a, c, and d, which added details that were not covered by the task description.
MC Qu. 117 Cosi Company uses a job order costing... Cosi Company uses a job order costing system and allocates its overhead on the basis of direct labor costs. Cosi expects to incur $830,000 of overhead during the next period, and expects to use 53,000 labor hours at a cost of $10.00 per hour. What is Cosi Company's overhead application rate
Answer:
157%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Cosi Company's overhead application rate
First step is to calculate Total DL Cost
Total DL Cost = 53,000 hours * $10/hr
Total DL Cost= $530,000
Now let determine the overhead application rate
OH rate = $830,000/$530,000*100
OH rate= 157%
Therefore Cosi Company's overhead application rate is 157%
Jack asked Jill to marry him, and she has accepted under one condition: Jack must buy her a new $ Rolls-Royce Phantom. Jack currently has $ that he may invest. He has found a mutual fund with an expected annual return of % in which he will place the money. How long will it take Jack to win Jill's hand in marriage?
Answer: 47.8 years
Explanation:
Jack is trying to make up to $330,000 from $50,680 at a rate of 4%.
The relevant formula is the future value formula as Jack is trying to get to a certain amount in future:
330,000 = 50,680 * ( 1 + 4%) ^ number of years
1.04 ^ number of years = 330,000 / 50,680
1.04 ^ N = 6.51144435674822
Use the natural logarithm:
N * In (1.04) = In (6.51144435674822)
N * 0.039220713153281 = 1.873561299007586979
N = 1.873561299007586979 / 0.039220713153281
= 47.8 years
Suppose there is a simple one good economy that only produces spinning rims. In 2015, the economy was able to produce 1 million sets of spinning rims at an amazing price of $500 per set. In 2016, the economy was able to produce 1 million sets of spinning rims at a price of $1,000 per set. By what amount did real GDP increase between 2015 and 2016 in the simple one good economy
Answer: 0
Explanation:
Firstly, we will calculate the nominal value in 2015 which will be:
= $500 x 1 million
= $500 million
The nominal value in 2016 will be:
= $1000 x 1 million
= $1 billion
Real GDP will be the price of the base year multiplied by the quantity of the current year which will be:
= $500 million x 1 million sets
= $500 million
Therefore, the increase in real GDP is zero.
Nadal Inc. had two temporary differences at the end of 2013. The first difference stems from installment sales, and the second one results from the accrual of a loss contingency. Nadal's accounting department has developed a schedule of future taxable and deductible amounts related to these temporary differences as follows:
Taxable amounts:

This morning you purchased one share of stock for $14. The stock pays $.20 per share each quarter as a dividend. What must the stock price be one year from now if you want to earn a total return of 12 percent for the year
Answer:
$14.88
Explanation:
The computation of the stock price is given below:
A total return of 12% means that
= 0.12 × 14
= $1.68 in a year.
Now
The total dividend payments for 4 quarters is
= 0.2 × 4
= $0.8.
Now the price of the stock should increase by
= 1.68 - 0.8
= 0.88
So the stock price one year from now is
= 14 + 0.88
= $14.88
A project with an initial investment of $461,300 will generate equal annual cash flows over its 10-year life. The project has a required return of 8.1 percent. What is the minimum annual cash flow required to accept the project
Answer:
The minimum annual cash flow required to accept the project is:
= $63,883.17
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Initial investment cost of the project = $461,300
Project's estimated life = 10 years
Project's required return rate = 8.1%
The minimum annual cash flow required to accept the project is derived from an online financial calculator as follows:
N (# of periods) 10
I/Y (Interest per year) 8.1
PV (Present Value) 461300
FV (Future Value) 0
Results:
PMT = $63,883.17
Sum of all periodic payments = $638,831.69
Total Interest = $177,531.69
I am buying a firm with an expected perpetual cash flow of $1,000 but am unsure of its risk. If I think the beta of the firm is 0, when the beta is really 1, how much more will I offer for the firm than it is truly worth? Assume the risk-free rate is 4% and the expected rate of return on the market is 10%. (Input the amount as a positive value.)
Answer:
$15,000
Explanation:
Value of a perpetuality = cash flow / r
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
4 + 0 (10 - 4) = 4
1,000/ 0.04 = 25,000
4 + 1 (10 - 4) = 10
1000 / 0.1 = 10,000
25,000 - 10,000 = 15,000
Which of these is NOT a barrier to trade?
a) Tariff
b) Quota
C) All the options are correct
D) Embargo
Answer:
All the options are correct

The cost of preferred stock
Preferred stock is a hybrid security, because it has some characteristics typical of debt and others typical of equity. The following table lists various characteristics of preferred stock. Determine which of these characteristics is consistent with debt and which is consistent with equity.
Characteristics Debt Equity
Dividends are fixed
Usually has no specified maturity date
Consider the case of Tamin Enterprises:
At the present time, Tamin Enterprises does not have any preferred stock outstanding but is looking to include preferred stock in its capital structure in the future. Tamin has found some institutional investors that are willing to purchase its preferred stock issue provided that it pays a perpetual dividend of $11 per share. If the investors pay $97.95 per share for their investment, then Tamin's cost of preferred stock (rounded to four decimal places) will be:_____.
Answer:
Dividends are fixed ⇒ Debt
Preferred dividends are fixed much like the interest payments made on debt which makes this a characteristic of debt.
Usually have no specified maturity date ⇒ Equity
Equity does not have an expiration or maturity date and preferred shares share this same characteristic.
Cost of preferred stock.
The value of a Preferred stock is calculated by the formula:
Price = Dividend / Cost of preferred stock
97.95 = 11 / Cp
97.95 * Cp = 11
Cp = 11/ 97.95
= 11.23%

You are given the following data Stock A Expected return 8.00% Standard deviation 23.00% Stock B Expected return 7.50% Standard deviation 33.00% The correlation of Stock A and Stock B is 0.05. What is the variance of risky portfolio P with 43% in Stock A and the rest in Stock B
Answer:
Variance of risky portfolio P = 4.61%
Explanation:
WA = Weight of stock A = 43%, or 0.43
WB = Weight of stock B = 1 - 0.43 = 0.57
SA = Standard deviation of stock A = 23%, or 0.23
SB = Standard deviation of stock B = 33%, or 0.33
Cab = Correlation of Stock A and Stock B = 0.05
Therefore, we have:
Variance of risky portfolio P = (WA^2 * SA^2) + (WB^2 * SB^2) + (WA * SA * WB * SB * Cab) = (0.43^2 * 0.23^2) + (0.57^2 * 0.33^2) + (0.43 * 0.23 * 0.57 * 0.33 * 0.05) = 0.0461, or 4.61%
