Serena Medavoy will invest $5,890 a year for 17 years in a fund that will earn 12% annual interest. Click here to view factor tables If the first payment into the fund occurs today, what amount will be in the fund in 17 years
Answer:
$287,924.84
Explanation:
We are to calculate the future value of the annuity
The formula for calculating future value = A (B / r)
B = [(1 + r)^n] - 1
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
[(1.12)^17 - 1] / 0.12 = 48.883674
$5,890 x 48.883674 = $287,924.84
An increase in the demand for the Canadian dollar will lead to
A.
an appreciation of the Canadian dollar and a higher quantity of Canadian dollars
traded
B.
a depreciation of the Canadian dollar and a higher quantity of Canadian dollars traded
C.
an appreciation of the Canadian dollar and a lower quantity of Canadian dollars
traded
D.
a depreciation of the Canadian dollar and a lower quantity of Canadian dollars traded.
Answer:
A. an appreciation of the Canadian dollar and a higher quantity of Canadian dollars
traded
Explanation:
An increase in the demand for the Canadian dollar will lead to
an appreciation of the Canadian dollar and a higher quantity of Canadian dollars traded.
When, the demand for Canadian dollar increases, it means, the Canadian dollar will appreciate against other currencies and higher quantity of the Canadian dollar will be traded.
A rightward shift in demand( increase) means the demand curve has moved up along the
supply curve causing the price of the currency measured on the horizontal axis to increase.
Monthly production costs in Dilts Company for two levels of production are as follows. Cost 2,000 Units 4,000 Units Indirect labor $10,000 $20,000 Supervisory salaries 5,000 5,000 Maintenance 4,000 6,000 Indicate which costs are variable, fixed, and mixed. Indirect labor select a type of costs Supervisory salaries select a type of costs Maintenance select a type of costs
Answer:
Indirect Labor - Variable Cost
This is a Variable cost as it changes alone with the production quantity. At 2,000 units the Indirect labor costs were $10,000 and at 4,000 units that figure had gone up to $20,000.
Supervisory Salaries - Fixed Costs
These salaries are a fixed cost because fixed costs do not change with production quantity and neither did these. When quantity produced was 2,000 units, these salaries were $5,000 and this did not change even when production quantity went up to 4,000 units.
Maintenance Salaries - Mixed Costs
Mixed costs have elements of both fixed and variable costs. The Maintenance cost per unit here is;
= (6,000 - 2,000) / ( 4,000 - 2,000)
= $2 per unit
Cost when units are 2,000 using the $2 per unit rate is indeed $4,000. However if the $2 per unit was multiplied with 4,000 units, the cost should be $8,000 instead it is $6,000. It is therefore a mixed cost.
All of the following are alternative forms of institutional advertisements EXCEPT:
A. competitive
B. public service
C. reminder
D. pioneering

Remind you of the product being offered and how it has been beneficial to you.Pioneering - This is for products that are just starting out and need to be introduced to inform the market of its existence.Advocacy - These focus on telling the audience the position a company has on an issue.These are the four alternative forms of institutional advertisements and Public Service is not one of them.
If the market interest rate is greater than the stated interest rate on bonds, the bonds will sell: ___________
a. at a premium.
b. at a discount.
c. at face value.
d. only after the stated interest rate is increased
Answer:
Option B, at a discount, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Bond is a kind of security or it is a liability for a company that occurs by issuing the bonds to the public. We find that if the stated interest rate on bonds is lower than the market interest rate then the general public will not buy bonds. Therefore, it becomes essential for a company to issue bonds at a discount rate so that it can attract the general public. It is the same case in the given question, therefore, the company will issue bonds at a discount rate.

If the desired daily output is 458 units, how many units must be started to allow for loss due to scrap? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)
Complete question:
Production process consists of a three step operation. Scrap rate is 19% for the first step and 11% for the other two steps.
If the desired daily output is 458 units, how many units must be started to allow for loss due to scrap? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)
Answer:
784 units
Explanation:
Given that:
Scrap rate at first step = 19%
Scrap rate at second step = 11%
Scrap rate at third step = 11%
Desired output unit = 458
After first step,
Material left= (100% - 19%) = 81%
After second step,
Material left = (100% - 11%) = 89%
After third step :
Material left = (100% - 11%) = 89%
Therefore, to compensate for scrap in the first step and attain desired output unit:
Units that must be started :
Desired output unit / (81%)*(89%)*(89%)
458 / (0.81)*(0.89)*(0.89)
458 / 0.583929
= 784.34193 units
= 784 units
The interest rate in the federal funds market:_________.
a. is an interest rate that is largely unaffected by the policies of the Fed.
b. will fall if the Fed sells bonds and, thereby, reduces the reserves available to banks.
c. is determined by the imposition of price controls imposed by the Fed.
d. rises when the quantity of funds demanded by banks seeking additional reserves exceeds the quantity supplied by banks with excess reserves.
Answer:
Federal Funds Rate:
d. rises when the quantity of funds demanded by banks seeking additional reserves exceeds the quantity supplied by banks with excess reserves.
Explanation:
Federal funds rate is the target interest rate set by the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) at which commercial banks with deficit reserves borrow and banks with surplus reserves lend their excess reserves to each other overnight without collateral. The rates are set eight times a year in line with prevailing economic situations. The rates are lowered to boost economic growth and reduce unemployment by increasing money supply. They are increased to check inflation.

Roberto Corporation was organized on January 1, 2021. The firm was authorized to issue 91,000 shares of $5 par common stock. During 2021, Roberto had the following transactions relating to shareholders' equity: Issued 9,600 shares of common stock at $6.70 per share. Issued 20,000 shares of common stock at $10.10 per share. Reported a net income of $107,000. Paid dividends of $55,000. Purchased 3,100 shares of treasury stock at $12.10 (part of the 20,000 shares issued at $10.10). What is total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021
Answer:
The total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021 is $465,830
Explanation:
Treasury stock = Shares purchased * Purchase price
Treasury stock = 3,100 shares $12.10 per share
Treasury stock = $37,510
Shareholder′ s equity = Equity capital + Net income - Dividend - Treasury stock
Shareholder′ s equity = $266,320 + $107,000 + $55,000 + $37,510
Shareholder′ s equity = $465,830
Working
Equity capital = (Shares issued × Issue Price) + (Shares issued * Issue price)
Equity capital = (9,600 * $6.70) + (20,000 * $10.10)
Equity capital = $64,320 + $202,000
Equity capital = $266,320
Splish Company provides the following information about its defined benefit pension plan for the year 2017. Service cost $110,000 Contribution to the plan 104,000 Prior service cost amortization 10,000 Actual and expected return on plan assets 30,000 Benefits paid 37,000 Plan assets at January 1, 2017 624,000 Projected benefit obligation at January 1, 2017 728,000 Accumulated OCI (PSC) at January 1, 2017 165,000 Interest/discount (settlement) rate 5% Compute the pension expense for the year 2017. Pension Expense for 2017 should be:
Answer: $155,520
Explanation:
Pension Expense = Service Cost - Expected return on plan assets + Prior service cost amortization + Interest cost
Interest Cost
= Interest rate * Projected benefit obligation
= 0.09 * 728,000
= $65,520
Pension Expense = 110,000 - 30,000 + 10,000 + 65,520
= $155,520
Dorsey Company manufactures three products from a common input in a joint processing operation.
Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $350,000 per quarter.
The company allocates these costs to the joint products on the basis of their relative sales value at the split-off point.
Unit selling prices and total output at the split-off point are as follows:
Product Selling Price Quarterly Output
A $16 per pound 15,000
B $8 per pound 20,000
C $25 per gallon 4,000
Each product can be processed further after the split-off point. Additional processing requires no special facilities.
The additional processing costs (per quarter) and unit selling prices after further processing are given below:
Product Additional Processing Costs Selling Price
A $63,000 $20 per pound
B $80,000 $13 per pound
C $36,000 $32 per gallon
a. Compute the incremental profit (loss) for each product.
b. Which product or products should be sold at the split-off point and which product or products should be processed further? Show Computations.
Answer:
Product A B C
Incremental profit/(loss) (3 ,000) 20,000 (8,000)
b
Process further : Product B
Sell at the split of point : Product A and C
Explanation:
Question a
A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .
Additional sales revenue = Sales revenue after further processing - sales revenue after split-off point .
Product A B C
Sales after split of point 20 13 32
Sales at the split off point (16) ( 8) (25)
Additional rev per unit 4 5 7
Quantity × 15,000 20,000 4,000
Additional sales rev 60,000 100,000 28,000
Further processing cost ( 63,000) ( 80,000) (36,000)
Incremental profit/(loss) (3 ,000) 20,000 (8,000)
Question b
Products A and Product C should be sold at the split of point
Doing so would save the the company the $11,000 in incremental losses ( 3,000+ 8,000).
Product B should be process further as it would produce an incremental profit of $20,000

e. What is the project's Discounted Payback?
Answer:
a. $40,001.70
b. 30.19 %
c. 18,01% .
d. 2 years and 7 months
e. 3 years
Explanation:
Calculation of NPV using a financial calculator :
-$50,000 CFj
$19,000 CFj
$20,000 CFj
$18,000 CFj
$19,000 CFj
$20,000 CFj
$17,000 CFj
i/yr 7%
Shift NPV $40,001.70
Calculation of IRR using a financial calculator :
-$50,000 CFj

$20,000 CFj
$18,000 CFj
$19,000 CFj
$20,000 CFj
$17,000 CFj
Shift IRR 30.19 %
Calculation of MIIR :
The First Step is to Calculate the Terminal Value at end of year 6.
Terminal Value (FV) = Sum of (PV x (1 + r) ^ 6 - n)
=$19,000 x (1.07) ^ 5 + $20,000 x (1.07) ^ 4 + $18,000 x (1.07) ^ 3 + $19,000 x (1.07) ^ 2 + $20,000 x (1.07) ^ 1 + $17,000 x (1.07) ^ 0
= $26,648.48 + $26,215.92 + $22,050.77 + $21,753.10 + $21,400 + $17,000
= $135,068.27
The Next Step is to Calculate the MIRR using a Financial Calculator :
-$50,000 CFj
0 CFj
0 CFj
0 CFj
0 CFj
0 CFj
$135,068.27 CFj
Shift IRR/Yr 18,01%
Therefore, the MIRR is 18,01% .
Calculation of the Payback Period :
$50,000 = Year 1 ($19,000) + Year 2 ($20,000) + $11,000 / $18,000
= 2 years and 7 months
Calculation of the project's Discounted Payback :
$50,000 = $19,000 / (1.07)^1 + $20,000 / (1.07)^2 + $18,000/ (1.07)^3 + $19,000/ (1.07)^4
= Year 1 ($17,757.01) + Year 2 ($17,468.77) + Year 3 ($14,693.36) + $80.83 / $14,495
= 3 years
Bradshaw Inc. is contemplating a capital investment of $88,000. The cash flows over the project’s four years are: Year Expected Annual Cash Inflows Expected Annual Cash Outflows 1 $30,000 $12,000 2 45,000 20,000 3 60,000 25,000 4 50,000 30,000 The cash payback period is
Answer: 3.50 years
Explanation:
The Payback period is a method of checking the viability of a project. It measures how long it will take a project to pay back it's initial investment.
Formula is;
= Year before payback + Cash remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of payback
Year 1 Net Cash Inflow
= Cash Inflow - Cash Outflow
= 30,000 - 12,000
= $18,000
Year 2
= 45,000 - 20,000
= $25,000
Year 3
= 60,000 - 25,000
= $35,000
Year 4
= 50,000 - 30,000
= $20,000
Year 1 + 2 + 3
= 18,000 + 25,000 + 35,000
= $78,000
Amount remaining till payback
= Investment - Cash inflow so far
= 88,000 - 78,000
= $10,000
= Year before payback + Cash remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of payback
= 3 + 10,000/20,000
= 3.50 years
6. If negative float appears on a partial path (until certain activity), the most likely explanation is: a. One or more activities on that path is running late. b. The project is not meeting its expected completion date. c. The project is meeting its expected completion date but a certain activity/ event on that path is not meeting its expected completion date. d. It must be a software glitch.
Answer:
c. The project is meeting its expected completion date but a certain activity/ event on that path is not meeting its expected completion date.
Explanation:
Float is the total amount of a project delay. A negative float means a delay longer than the intended or allowed float at a given time. This means that a float is an activity that takes longer than initially thought. Some projects have built-in standard floats, which are calculated based on previous experience of similar projects, with allowances given for some different expected backstory.From the following information, construct a simple income statement and a balance sheet:

You are trying to decide which of two automobiles to buy. The first is American-made, costs $28,500, and has a rated gasoline mileage of 28 miles/gal. The second car is of European manufacture, costs $35,700, and has a rated mileage of 19 km/L. If the cost of gasoline is $3.25/gal and if the cars actually deliver their rated mileage, estimate how many miles you would have to drive for the lower fuel consumption of the second car to compensate for the higher cost of this car.
Answer:
So, the European made car must be driven at least 266666.67 kilo metres in order for both the cars to have same total cost and the European car should be driven more than 266666.67 kilo metres in order for it to have a lower total cost and provide an advantage over the american made.
Explanation:
To calculate the number of miles needed for the lower fuel consumption car to have the same cost as of the higher fuel consumption cost, we need to equate the cost equation of both the cars.
We need to convert the gallons into litres and miles into kilo metres. 1 gallon contains 3.785 litres and 1 mile contains 1.609 kilo metre. So, mileage of first car in kilo metre per Litre is,
Mileage American made = (28 * 1.609) / 3.785
Mileage American made = 11.90 kilo metre per litres
Gas cost per Litres = 3.25 / 3.785
Gas cost per Litres = $0.8586 rounded off to $0.86 per Litres
Gas cost per kilo metre - American Made = 0.86 / 11.90 = $0.072 per km
Gas cost per kilo metre - European Made = 0.86 / 19 = $0.045 per km
The total cost equation (purchase price + fuel cost) of first car which is American made is,
Let x be the number of kilo metres where both cars total costs are equal.
Total cost = 28500 + 0.072x
The total cost equation (purchase price + fuel cost) of first car which is European made is,
Let x be the number of kilo metres where both cars total costs are equal.
Total cost = 35700 + 0.045x
28500 + 0.072x = 35700 + 0.045x
0.072x - 0.045x = 35700 - 28500
0.027x = 7200
x = 7200 / 0.027
x = 266666.67 kilo metres
So, the European made car must be driven at least 266666.67 kilo metres in order for both the cars to have same total cost and the European car should be driven more than 266666.67 kilo metres in order for it to have a lower total cost and provide an advantage over the american made.

Snow Sports 5,800,000 $ $ 990,000 4,400,000 500,000 22.5%
Non-Snow $ 8,800,000 $ 1,512,000 $ $ 6,300,000$ 750,000 24.0%
Sports
Tests management has specified a target 15% rate of return.
Compute each division's residual income. Interpret your results. Are your results consistent with each division's ROI?
Answer:
I. Residual Income:
Snow division
Residual Income = Operating income - (Total assets × Target rate of return)
Residual Income = $990,000 - ($4,400,000 * 15%)
Residual Income = $330,000
Thus, The residual income of the snow division is $330,000.
Non-snow division
Residual Income = Operating income - (Total assets × Target rate of return)
Residual Income = $1,512,000 - ($6,300,000 * 15%)
Residual Income = $567,000
Thus, The residual income of the non-snow division is $567,000
ii. The divisions have positive residual incomes, that is, both the divisions are earning income more than the target return on the investments.
iii. The results are consistent with the return on investment calculations of both the divisions.

logistics cost factors are cost factors associated with logistics ( concerned with acquisition, storage and transportation ofresources) based on the kind of business or kind of products or services a company is into. From the above we see that logistics cost factors vary as the companies are into different products or services and industries and therefore face different logistics costs associated with their production and or delivery. Every company aims to achieve logistics efficiency through minimizing costs associated with their logistics costs factors example Hyundai with transportation logistics cost factors would aim to reduce it's logistics cost factors and maximise profits by its locating it's manufacturing plant close to where it imports parts for it's vehicle manufacturing so as to reduce cost of transporting vehicle parts to manufacturing plant
Creative Sports Design (CSD) manufactures a standard-size racket and an oversize racket. The firm’s rackets are extremely light due to the use of a magnesium-graphite alloy that was invented by the firm’s founder. Each standard-size racket uses 0.125 kilograms of the alloy and each oversize racket uses 0.4 kilograms; over the next two-week production period only 80 kilograms of the alloy are available. Each standard-size racket uses 10 minutes of manufacturing time and each oversize racket uses 12 minutes. The profit contributions are $10 for each standard-size racket and $15 for each oversize racket, and 40 hours of manufacturing time are available each week. Management specified that at least 20% of the total production must be the standard-size racket. How many rackets of each type should CSD manufacture over the next two weeks to maximize the total profit contribution? Assume that because of the unique nature of their products, CSD can sell as many rackets as they can produce.
Answer:
165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)
42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)
total profit contribution = (165 x $15) + (42 x $10) = $2,895
Explanation:
materials machine hours profit
standard size 0.125 kg 1/6 $10
oversize 0.4 kg 1/5 $15
constraints 80 kilograms of materials
40 hours of manufacturing
profit per machine hour:
standard size $10 x 6 = $60 x 40 hours = $2,400 (total possible production = 240 rackets)
oversize $15 x 5 = $75 x 40 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)
profit per kilogram of alloy:
standard size $10 / 0.125 = $80 x 80 kgs = $6,400 (total possible production = 480 rackets)
oversize $15 / .4 = $37.50 x 80 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)
since the most important constraint is the manufacturing hours available, the company should try to produce the products that yield the highest contribution margin per machine hour. In this case, at least 20% of total production must be standard size rackets, so the remaining 80% should be oversize rackets that yield a higher profit.
165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)
42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)
total manufacturing time = 40 hours
if we produce 166 oversize rackets and 41 standard size rackets, total manufacturing time will exceed 40 hours (40.03 hours exactly).

Tom Scott is the owner, president, and primary salesperson for Scott Manufacturing. Because of this, the company's profits are driven by the amount of work Tom does. If he works 40 hours each week, the company's EBIT will be $585,000 per year; if he works a 50-hour week, the company's EBIT will be $1.65 million, and it can issue equity or issue debt with an interest rate of 9 percent. Assume there are no corporate taxes.
Required:
a. What are the cash flows to Tom under each scenario?
b. Under which form of financing is Tom likely to work harder?
Answer:
a.
If debt is issued;
40 Hour week;
EBIT = $585,000
Cash flows to Tom = EBIT - Interest
Interest will be on the $1.65 million that needs to be borrowed so;
= 9% * 1,650,000
= $148,500
Cash Flow to Tom = 585,000 - 148,500
= $436,500
50 Hour Week
Cashflows to Tom = EBIT - Interest
= 695,000 - 148,500
= $546,500
If Equity is Issued;
Company is worth $3.55 million but a $1.65 million investment is needed. If equity is issued for the cash, Tom will only own $3.55 million out of the ne total value.
= 3.55/(3.55 + 1.65)
= 3.55/5.2
40 Hour Week
Cash flow to Tom = EBIT * Tom ownership
= 585,000 * 3.55/5.2
= $399,375
50 Hour Week
= 695,000 * 3.55/5.2
= $474,471.15
b. Under Debt Issue because more cashflow of $546,500 will be due to him.
A $100 bond with 4% coupon rate matures in 25 years. It bears semiannual coupons and is purchased for $117.50 to yield i(2). A $100 bond with 5% coupon rate also matures in 25 years. It also bears semiannual coupons, but is purchased for $135.00 to yield i(2). What is i(2)?
Answer:
4. At least 2.75%, but less than 3.25%
Explanation:
missing options:
Less than 1.75% At least 1.75%, but less than 2.25% At least 2.25%, but less than 2.75% At least 2.75%, but less than 3.25% 3.25% or morei⁽²⁾ = approximate YTM = {2 + [(100 - 117.50)/50]} / [(100 + 117.50)/2] = 1.65 / 108.75 = 1.517% x 2, annual rate = 3.03%
i⁽²⁾ = approximate YTM = {2.50 + [(100 - 135)/50]} / [(100 + 135)/2] = 1.80 / 117.50 = 1.532% x 2, annual rate = 3.06%
Since both YTMs are very similar, we can determine that i⁽²⁾ is approximately 3%, maybe a little less or a little more, since we are using the approximate yield to maturity formula.
A portfolio comprises Coke (beta of 1.1) and Wal-Mart (beta of 1). The amount invested in Coke is $10,000 and in Wal-Mart is $20,000. What is the beta of the portfolio?
Answer:
Beta= 1.133
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Coke:
beta= 1.1
Investment= $10,000
Wal-Mart:
beta= 1
Investment= $20,000
First, we need to calculate the proportion of investments:
Coke= 10,000/30,000= 0.33
Wal-Mart= 20,000/30,000= 0.77
Now, to calculate the beta of the portfolio, we need to use the following formula:
Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B)
Beta= (0.33*1.1) + (0.77*1)
Beta= 1.133
When money serves as a common denominator for measuring the exchange rates among goods and services, it performs as a
Answer:
Standard of value.
Explanation:
When money serves as a common denominator for measuring the exchange rates among goods and services, it performs as a standard of value.
Standard of value is an agreed-upon worth for a transaction in a country's medium of exchange, such as the U.S. dollar or Mexican peso. A standard of value allows all merchants and economic entities to set uniform prices for goods and services
g Oriole Company had actual sales of $1100000 when break-even sales were $660000. What is the margin of safety ratio? 67% 40% 33% 60%
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
Oriole company has an actual sales of $1,100,000
The break even sales is $660,000
Therefore, the margin of safety can be calculated as follows
= Actual sales-break-even sales/actual sales
= $1,100,000-$660,000/$1,100,000
= $440,000/$1,100,000
= 0.4×100
= 40%
Hence the margin of safety is 40%
