Answer:
The bonds are guaranteed as to principal and interest payments by the US government.
Explanation:
According to NASAA's Statement of Policy on Unethical or Dishonest Business Practices of Broker-Dealers and Agents, a broker can say US government bonds are guaranteed on principal and interest payments.
However if inflation sets in and interest rates rises there is no guarantee from the government that interest paid on the bonds will match the higher interest rate.
So legally this statement is correct, even though the investor can lose money as a result of higher interest rate in the future.
Prescott Bank offers you a $23,000, 6-year term loan at 8 percent annual interest. What will your annual loan payment be?
Answer:
Annual payment= $3,901.78
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 instalment is computed as follows:
Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor
Loan amount; = 23,000
Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r
r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months
r- 8%/12 = % = 0.6667 , n = 8 × 12 = 96
Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+0.6667)^(-96))/0.6667
= 70.7370
Monthly installment = Loan amount /annuity factor
= 23,000/70.7370 = 325.15
Annual payment = 12× 325.15 = $3901.78
Annual payment= $3,901.78

On June 1, 2015 Heloise gave Henrietta a gift of stock worth $10,000. Heloise had purchased the stock on January 1, 2015 for $13,000. Henrietta sold the stock to an unrelated party on January 1, 2016 for $13,500. What is the amount and character of Henrietta's gain or loss upon the sale?
Answer:
$500 short-term capital gain
Explanation:
Henrietta's gain = selling price - stock's basis = $13,500 - $13,000 = $500
Since Henrietta received the stocks on June 1, 2015, and sold them on January 1, 2016, only 7 months had passed, therefore, this transaction would be considered a short term capital gain.
When a gift is sold (in this case the stocks), a taxpayer can use the basis for computing gains. If the stocks were sold at a loss, Henrietta should use the lower value (at the moment of the gift) to determine her loss.

Sweet Stuff Sugar Source ships product all over the world. Since the product it ships has a low value-to-weight ratio, transportation costs are
Answer:
a large percentage of the total cost
Explanation:
When a product has a high value to weight ratio it means it is expensive and the weight is light. For products with low value to cash ratio they are cheap but have large weight.
Low value to weight ratio goods are more expensive to transport and they do not make up the high transportation cost because they are also cheap.
In this scenario Sweet Stuff Sugar Source ships low value to weight goods all over the world. So their transportation cost will be high and it will make up a large percentage of total cost.

ABC Company had 500 units of XYZ in its inventory at a cost of $4 each. It purchased, for $2,800, 300 more units of XYZ. ABC then sold 400 units at a selling price of $10 each, resulting in a gross profit of $1,600. The cost flow assumption used by ABC:__________
Answer:
ABC company uses the average cost method
Explanation:
beginning inventory 500 units at $4 = $2,000
purchased 300 units at $9.33 = $2,800
sold 400 units at $10 = $4,000 ⇒ gross profit = $1,600
under LIFO, cost of goods sold = $2,800 + $400 = $3,200, gross profit = $800
under FIFO, cost of goods sold = $1,600, gross profit = $2,400
under average cost, cost of goods sold = ($4,800 / 800) x 400 = $2,400, gross profit = $1,600

The optimal quantity of safety stock which minimizes expected total cost is _ units (enter your response as a whole number).
Answer:
The optimal quantity of safety stock which minimizes expected total cost is _ units is 100 units.
Explanation:
Incremental Costs would be considered here to evaluate which safety stock level is the best for the company.
The working is as under:
Safety Stock Carrying Cost Stock-out Cost Total Cost
0 0 (100*0.2 + 200*0.2) * 80 4,800
100 100*30 = $3000 (100 * 0.2) * 80 1,600
200 200*30 = $6000 (200 * 0.2) * 80 3,200
The total cost has started growing as the safety starts growing above the 100 units level. This means that the safety stock must be 100 units as the cost at this level is the lowest to the company.
Inventory is termed as the accounting name of the stock of the goods and services in the economy. This is the produced level of the final goods of the firm.
100 units are the optimal quantity of safety stock for reducing the anticipated total cost.
Here, incremental costs would be considered to determine whether the level of inventory level is optimum for the firm.
The calculation is as shown below:
Safety Stock Carrying Cost Stock-out Cost Total Cost
0 0 [tex](100\times0.2 + 200\times0.2) \times 80[/tex] 4,800
100 [tex]100\times30 = \$3000[/tex] [tex](100 \times 0.2) \times80[/tex] 1,600
200 [tex]200\times30 = \$6000[/tex] [tex](200 \times 0.2) \times 80[/tex] 3,200
The overall cost has risen up when the degree of safety rises above 100 units. This indicates that the safety stock must be 100 units because the company's cost becomes the least at this point.

A plant's fixed overhead costs total $500,000 for a year to produce 400,000 widgets, among other items. If machine‐hours are used as an allocation base, all processes use a total of 40,000 machine‐hours, and widgets use 16,000 of these hours, what is the fixed overhead applied to each widget? Group of answer choices
Answer:
$0.5
Explanation:
A plant's fixed total overhead cost is $500,000 for a year
400,000 widgets are required to be produced for this period
All processes require a 40,000 machine hours and the widgets use 16,000 hours out of the total hours
The first step is to calculate the fixed overhead application rate
= $500,000/40,000
= $12.5 machine-hour
The fixed overhead that is applied to the widgets can be calculated as follows
= $12.5 × 16,000
= $200,000
Therefore, the fixed overhead that is applied to each of the widgets produced can be calculated as follows
= 200,000/400,000
= $0.5
Hence the fixed overhead that is applicable to each widgets is $0.5
