Answer:
The effective annual rate is 10%
Explanation:
Future value = Present value * (1+r)^n
(1+r)^n = Future value / Present value
r = (Future value / Present value)^n - 1
Here r is the rate
Substitute the values as below
r = (Future value / Present value)^n - 1
r= ($100,000 / $97,654)^4 - 1
r = 1.10000 - 1
r = 0.10000
r = 10%
Suppose a corporation issued a 20-year annual, 7 percent bond, 10 years ago. The bond is currently selling for 92 percent of its face value, or $920. What is the corporation’s cost of debt?
Answer:
Cost of debt = 8.13 %
Explanation:
The cost of the debt would be equal to the yield on the bond.
The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond
The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:
YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YTM-Yield to maturity-
C- annual coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
n- years to maturity
YTM-?, C- 7%× 1000 =70, Face Value - 1,000, P-920, n- 10
YTM = (70 + (1000-920)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 920) )
YTM = 0.08125 × 100 = 8.13 %
Yield to Maturity =8.13 %
Cost of debt = 8.13 %
Given an upward sloping aggregate supply curve, which of the following is most likely to occur if the fed pursues restrictive monetary policy?
a. The equilibrium price level and output will both increase.
b. The equilibrium price level and output will both decrease.
c. The equilibrium price level will decrease but output will stay the same.
d. The equilibrium output will decrease but the price level will stay the same.
Answer:
b. The equilibrium price level and output will both decrease.
Explanation:
If the Fed decides to use restrictive monetary policy money supply to the economy will be reduced. Instruments for reducing money supply is by using interest rate, open market operations, and reserve ratio.
When money supply is reduced, aggregate demand will reduce (shift to the left) because people will have less money to spend. The real output will also reduce because there is reduced demand for goods and services.
Attached is a diagram illustrating this. Equilibrium price moves from A to B, and output decreases from Y1 to Y2
On December 1, 2019, Carrie's Day Care receives in advance for an agreement to care for Susan's children for the months of December, January, and February. Carrie's Day Care will make an adjusting entry on December 31, 2019 to:

Working note:
Amount of Revenue earned = Advance amount × 1 ÷ (From December to February)
= $1,500 × 1 ÷ 3
= $500

The management of Ro Corporation is investigating automating a process. Old equipment, with a current salvage value of $27,000, would be replaced by a new machine. The new machine would be purchased for $432,000 and would have a 6 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $149,000 per year in cash operating costs. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):
Answer: 19.01%
Explanation:
The simple rate of return is the Income that came from an investment divided by the cost of the investment.
It is therefore expressed by;
Simple rate of return = Net Income / Initial investment
Initial investment
= Price of new machine - salvage value of old machine
= 432,000 - 27,000
= $405,000
Net Income
= Income - depreciation of new machine
= 149,000 - (432,000/6)
= $77,000
Simple rate of return
= 77,000/405,000
= 19.01%
Answer:
17.82%
Explanation:
As we know that:
Simple Rate Of Return = Net Operating Income / Initial Investment
Here
Initial Investment is $432,000
Net Operating Income = Annual Cost Savings - Annual Depreciation
Here
Annual Cost Savings are $149,000
Annual Depreciation = $432,000/6 = $72,000
By putting values, we have:
Net Operating Income = $149,000 - $72,000 = $77,000
Now by putting values in the above bold equation:
Net Operating Income = $77,000 / 432,000 = 17.82%
Morgan Company issues 8%, 20-year bonds with a par value of $740,000 that pay interest semi-annually. The current market rate is 7%. The amount of interest owed to the bondholders for each semiannual interest payment is:_________.
Answer:
The interest amount is $29600.
Explanation:
Below are the following given values:
The par value of bonds that Morgan company issues = $740000
Interest paid = semi annually
Current interest rate = 7%
Now we have to find the total amount of interest at 8% that is compounded semiannually.
Below is the calculation of the interest amount.
Amount of interest for each semi-annual period: = face value × Coupon rate × 0.5
Here we multiply with 0.5 because interest is semi-annually.
Total interest = $740,000 × 8% × 0.5
Total interest = $29,600
Oriole Company Purchased A Depreciable Asset For $837900 On January 1, 2018. The Estimated Salvage Value Is $81000, And The Estimated Total Useful Life is 9 years. The straight-line method is used for depreciation. In 2021, Oriole changed its estimates to a total useful life of 5 years with a salvage value of $143000. What is 2021 depreciation expense?
a. $252300
b. $584100
c. $139650
d. $221300
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($837900 - $81000) / 9 = $84,100
Depreciation expense from 2018 to the end of 2020 would be $84,100
Accumulated depreciation as at 2020 = $252,300
Book value at the beginning of 2021 = $837, 900 - $252,300 = $585,600
remaining useful life as a result of the revision = 5 - 3 = 2
Depreciation expense under the new revisions =
($585,600 - $143000) / 2 = $221,300
"An NMS stock is current quoted at $16.10 Bid - $16.30 Ask. A customer wishes to place an order to buy 1,000 shares of the stock at $16.111. The registered representative should:"
Answer:
"An NMS stock is current quoted at $16.10 Bid - $16.30 Ask. A customer wishes to place an order to buy 1,000 shares of the stock at $16.111. The registered representative should:"
buy the 1,000 shares of NMS stock when the price is $16.111 or below.
Explanation:
This order by the customer is a limit order. It indicates the price at which the registered representative should buy the stock of NMS. A limit order means that the order can only be filled at the specific price or better (below the limit). It is not like a stop order which triggers at the specified price and will then be filled at the prevailing market price, whether it is below or above the stated price.

you own $750000 worth of stock, and you are worried the price may fall by year-end in 6 months. you are considering
Answer: D. I, II, and III
Explanation:
If expecting a price deduction, you can buy Put options. These give you the right to sell an underlying stock at a certain price regardless of what the price in the market is. If you purchased this, you can sell your stock above market value if it does go down.
You can sell write call options for a fee where you give the buyer the right to buy your shares at a certain price in future. This is only valuable if prices rise so as you are expecting prices to fall, you could make a premium on the call option contract fees if prices fall without having to sell off your shares.
Hedging with puts is better than short calls if you are expecting a major stock price decline as the opportunity for profit is higher.

A. 159.4 days
B. 79.7 days
C. 41.3 days
D. 47.4 days
E. 69.5 days
Answer:the firm's days' sales uncollected for the year= 47.4 days---d
Explanation:
The Days’ Sales Uncollected, a liquidity ratio that gives an idea of average collection period which is an estimation for the number of days the amount receivables is expected to be collected.
it depends on the 1) Account receivables and 2) Net sales .
the formulae is given below as
Days sales uncollectible = Account receivables / Net Sales x 365
=( $78,422/$603,500) x 365 =0.12994 x 365= 47.4 days
A registered investment company whose share price fluctuates independently of its net asset value is most likely
Answer:
Closed-End Fund
Explanation:
Close-End Funds raise money through an IPO and then its stocks are traded on secondary markets. There are no new issuance of stocks, nor there are repurchases of stocks, therefore, the price of their stocks is determined by the market. That is why their stock price will be based on its net asset value, but it fluctuates and is not dependent on it.

To maximize profit, a perfectly competitive firm:_____.
a) should sell the quantity of output that results in a value for total revenue that is equal to total cost.
b) Should produce the quantity of output that results in the greatest difference between marginal revenue and marginal cost.
c) should produce the quantity of output that results in the greatest difference between total revenue and total cost.
d) shouls sell thw quantity of output determined by the interaction between the indusrey demand and supply.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
Profit is maximised where marginal cost equals marginal revenue.
Airlines have first-class or business-class seating, for which customers pay a higher price to receive more room, extra amenities, and more attentive service. Would this illustrate price discrimination
Answer:
YES
Explanation:
Price discrimination is when the same product is sold at different prices to customers in different markets
types of price discrimination
1. first degree price discrimination : here sellers charge each consumer at their willingness to pay in order to eliminate consumer surplus.
2. second degree price discrimination : here firms offer different prices depending on the quantity purchased. e.g. giving discounts for bulk purchases.
3, third degree price discrimination : firms charge different prices to different groups of customers. e.g. having a certain price for senior citizens, students
Airlines charging different prices based on seating arrangement is an example of first degree price discrimination. the airlines aim to eliminate consumer surplus by charging each consumer at their willingness to pay.

The next four questions refer to a fictional fast food company:
The following cost information pertains to the meals made by the company:
Food $2.50/meal
Franchisor Royalties $0.70/meal
Advertising & Promotion $300,000
Rent $100,000
Price of each meal $10.00
What is the gross marketing contribution per unit?
If the company sold 100,000 meals and decided that they wanted to increase the advertising expense by $25,000 to generate more sales, how many more meals would they have to sell to maintain their current contribution to the organization
Assume I want to become more competitive from a price perspective , and I consider lowering my prices by 15%, and I want to accompany this change with a major advertising campaign, which will cost $15,000. How must my sales change for me to preserve my contribution to the organization?
What percentage of current sales does this represent?
Answer:
A Fictional Fast Food Company
a. Gross marketing contribution per unit:
= $6.80
b. If the company sold 100,000 meals and decided that they wanted to increase the advertising expense by $25,000 to generate more sales, how many more meals would they have to sell to maintain their current contribution to the organization:
= 3,677 (103,677 - 100,000) meals
c. Assume I want to become more competitive from a price perspective , and I consider lowering my prices by 15%, and I want to accompany this change with a major advertising campaign, which will cost $15,000. How must my sales change for me to preserve my contribution to the organization?
My sales must increase by 2,206 meals.
d. This represents about 2.21% increase of the current sales.
Explanation:
1) Data and Calculations:
Cost information for meals:
Food $2.50/meal
Franchisor Royalties $0.70/meal
Variable cost $3.20/meal
Price of each meal $10.00
Contribution $6.80/meal
2) Fixed costs:
Advertising & Promotion $300,000
Rent $100,000
Total fixed costs $400,000
3) Income Statement
Sales Revenue $1,000,000
Variable cost 320,000
Contribution $ 680,000
Total fixed costs 400,000
Net Income $280,000
4) Scenario 1:
= (Fixed costs + $25,000 + $280,000)/Contribution per unit
= $705,000/$6.80
= 103,677 meals
5) Scenario 2:
Reduced selling price = $8.50 ($10 x 0.85)
($400,000 + $15,000 + $280,000)/$6.80
= $695,000/$6.80
= 102,206
6) Percentage change:
= 102,206 -100,000 = 2,206
= 2,206/100,000 * 100
= 2.21%
Assuming the preferred stock is cumulative, compute the amount of dividends to preferred stockholders and to common stockholders for 2018 and 2019 if total dividends are $9,000 in 2018 and $45,000 in 2019. Assume no changes in preferred stock and common stock in 2019. (Assume all preferred dividends have been paid prior to 2018. Complete all input boxes. Enter a "O" for zero amounts. For the current year preferred dividend, be sure to enter the calculated dividend on the "current year dividend" line and the paid out dividend on the "total dividend to preferred stockholders" line.) Northern's 2018 dividend would be divided between preferred and common stockholders in this manner: 9000 Total Dividend 2018 Dividend to preferred stockholders: Dividend in arrears Current year dividend Total dividend to preferred stockholders 8800 (9000) Dividend to common stockholders
Answer:
The first part of the question is missing, so I looked for a similar question. I'm not sure that it is the same, but it can help you understand how to solve it.
Paid-In Capital:
Preferred Stock—5%, $11 Par Value; 150,000 shares authorized, 20,000 shares issued and outstanding : $220,000
Common Stock—$2 Par Value; 575,000 shares authorized, 380,000 shares issued and outstanding : 760,000
total dividends distributed:
2018: $9,000
2019: $45,000
preferred dividends = $220,000 x 5% = $11,000
Distributed dividends:
2018:
$9,000 in dividends distributed to preferred stockholders, $0.45 per preferred stock.
2019:
$13,000* in dividends distributed to preferred stockholders, $0.65 per preferred stock.
$32,000 in dividends distributed to common stockholders, $0.084 per common stock.
Since preferred dividends are cumulative, if they are not paid off during a certain year, they will have to be paid in the future before any common dividends are distributed.
Suppose that papers for a newspaper stand cost $0.40 and sell for $0.80. They currently have no salvage value. If the stand owner is able to find an outlet that would provide a salvage value of $0.10, what would be the increase in service level
Answer:
.07
Explanation:
Calculation for the increase in service level
Based on the information given we were told that the newspaper stand cost the amount of $0.40 and sell for the amount of $0.80 which means that in a situation where the stand owner find an outlet that provide a salvage value amount of $0.10 the increase in service level will be .07 calculated as ($0.80-$0.10)
Therefore what would be the increase in service level will be .07
The risk-free rate of return is 4.2 percent and the market risk premium is 11 percent. What is the expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.8
Answer:
r = 0.24 or 24%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return or the required rate of return is the minimum return that investors anticipate on a stock based on the systematic risk of that stock as measured by its beta. The CAPM equation can be used to calculate the expected rate of return on a stock. The formula is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketr = 0.042 + 1.8 * 0.11
r = 0.24 or 24%

A company has the following cost information: Units produced and sold 10,000 Direct materials $75,000 Direct labor hours per unit 1.0 Direct labor rate $10 per hour Variable manufacturing overhead 40% of direct labor Fixed manufacturing overhead $25,000 Variable selling and administrative expenses $6 per unit Fixed selling and administrative expenses $20,000 Calculate total period costs using full costing.
Answer:
The total period cost is $105000.
Explanation:
Total period costs (TPC) = Fixed manufacturing overhead (FMO) + (Variable selling and administrative expenses × units sold) + Fixed selling and administrative expenses.
Now insert all the values in the above formula.
Total period costs = $25,000 + ($6 × 10,000) + $20,000
Total period costs = $25,000 + $60,000 + $20,000
therefore, the Total period costs = $105,000
Brian, Kirk, and Jim established a partnership with equal capital contributions. However, Kirk provided an additional contribution in the form of a loan to the company. Which of the following is true?
A) Brian can withdraw capital advances from the partnership
B) Jim and Brian can prevent Kirk from withdrawing advances from the partnership.
C) Kirk and Brian can prevent Jim from withdrawing advances from the partnership.
D) Jim can withdraw capital advances from the partnership.
Answer:
B)
Explanation:
In this specific scenario, the term that is true is that Jim and Brian can legally prevent Kirk from withdrawing advances from the partnership. This is because all three of them entered into a partnership with equal contributions meaning that they all own the same percentage of the company and must all agree on things before they are done. Even though Kirk provided an additional contribution, this was a loan which will be paid back eventually but does not give kirk any extra power in the company and must discuss decisions with Brian and Jim before it can be done.
