Answer:
d. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.
Explanation:
Both experiments have confounding variables. But the reasons given for the occurrence of the confounder in experiment 2 do not justify (c) and (e) as correct answers. By definition, confounders are factors other than the independent variable that cause differences in outcome. For experiment 1, the different masses of the two rockets affect the independent variable (fuel mixture) being studied, and actually cause the discrepancy in the distance traveled as indicated in answer (d). Other examples of confounders are placebo, weather, age, and experimenter bias which a double-blind can eliminate.
Tom Cruise Lines Inc. issued bonds five years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 20-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point as described below:
Real rate of return 4 %
Inflation premium 5
Risk premium 4
Total return 13 %
Assume that five years later the inflation premium is only 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 15 years remaining until maturity. Use Appendix B and Appendix D.
Answer:
$1,161.23
since the coupon rate is higher than the market rate, the bonds will be priced at a premium
Explanation:
In order to calculate the current market price of the bonds we can use the yield to maturity formula:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = 11%n = 15 yearscoupon = $130face value = $1,0000.11 = {130 + [(1,000 - market value)/15]} / [1,000 + market value)/2]
0.11 x [1,000 + market value)/2] = 130 + [(1,000 - market value)/15]
0.11 x (500 + 0.5M) = 130 + 66.67 - 0.067M
55 + 0.055M = 196.67 - 0.067M
0.122M = 141.67
M = 141.67 / 0.122 = $1,161.23
Assume that Ray is 38 years old and has 27 years for saving until he retires. He expects an APR of 7.5% on his investments. How much does he need to save if he puts money away annually in equal end-of-the-year amounts to achieve a future value of $1,200,000 dollars in 27 years' time
Answer:
Annual deposit= $14,882.44
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value= $1,200,000
Number of periods= 27 years
Interest rate= 7.5%
To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (1,200,000*0.075) / [(1.075^27) - 1]
A= $14,882.44
University Printers has two service departments Maintenance and Personnel and two operating departments Printing and Developing. Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each.
The following data appear in the company records for the current period:
Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Machine-hours ? 455 455 2,590
Labor-hours 315 ? 294 1,491
Department direct cost 11,000 $23,000 $25,000 $23,000
Required: Allocate the service department costs using the reciprocal method. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
Machine hour percentages -Allocation of Maintenance Costs
455 + 455 + 2,590 = 3,500 total machine hrs
Personnel = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Printing = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Developing = 2,590 / 3,500 = 74%
Labor hr. percentages--Allocation of Personnel costs
315 + 294 + 1,491 = 2,100 total labor hrs.
Maintenance = 315 / 2,100 = 15%

The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study the tradeoff between time spent sleeping and working and to look at other factors affecting sleep:
sleep = β0 + β1totwrk + β2educ + β3age + u,
where sleep and totwrk (total work) are measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (See also Computer Exercise.)
(i) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of β1?
(ii) What signs do you think β2 and β3 will have?
(iii) Using the data in SLEEP75.RAW, the estimated equation is
= 3,638.25 - .148 totwrk - 11.13 educ + 2.20 age n = 706, R2 = .113.
If someone works five more hours per week, by how many minutes is sleep predicted to fall? Is this a large tradeoff?
(iv) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ.
(v) Would you say totwrk, educ, and age explain much of the variation in sleep? What other factors might affect the time spent sleeping? Are these likely to be correlated with totwrk?
Use the data in SLEEP75.RAW from Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study whether there is a tradeoff between the time spent sleeping per week and the time spent in paid work. We could use either variable as the dependent variable. For concreteness, estimate the model
sleep =β0+ β1totwrk+u, where sleep is minutes spent sleeping at night per week and totwrk is total minutes worked during the week.
(i) Report your results in equation form along with the number of observations and R2. What does the intercept in this equation mean?
(ii) If totwrk increases by 2 hours, by how much is sleep estimated to fall? Do you find this to be a large effect?
Answer:
1. I²1 will have a negative sign
This is because the more work the adults do, the less sleep they will utilize.
2. The sign of i²2 is likely to be negative. This is because due to the demands placed on them, more educated people are likely to sleep less. Also, general as age increases some people sleep less. While some others sleep more as it increases. So i²3 is a bit complicated to judge.
3. Using the data
^sleep = 3638.24-0.148toteork-11.13educ + 2.20age
N = 706 r² = 0.113
We will convert 5 hours to minutes = 60x5 = 300
Coefficient of totwork = 0.148
O.148x300 = 44.4 minutes
In a week approximately 45 minutes of less sleep is not too much a change.
4. We are to discuss the sign and magnitude of estimated education
More education indicates less sleeping time. This is obvious given the sign of the variable educ. It is negative, but it's effect is quite small. Magnitude is -11.13.
So as education increases by 1 year, expected sleeping time decreases by 11.13 minutes weekly.
5. R² is 0.113. the 3 predictor variables gives us 11.3% of total variations in sleep and rest. 88.7% is unexplained.
Some factors that might also affect it are general health, number and age of children are factors that could correlate with totwork
The Weber Company purchased a mining site for $1,750,000 on July 1. The company expects to mine ore for the next 10 years and anticipates that a total of 400,000 tons will be recovered. The estimated residual value of the property is $150,000. During the first year, the company extracted 6,500 tons of ore. The depletion expense is
Answer:
The correct solution is "$26,000".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Cost
= $1,750,000
Salvage value
= $150,000
First Year Extraction
= 6,500
Total Extraction
= 400,000
Now,
⇒ [tex]Depletion \ Expense = (Cost - Salvage \ value)\times (\frac{First \ Year \ Extraction}{Total \ extraction} )[/tex]
On putting the values, we get
⇒ = [tex](1,750,000 - 150,000)\times (\frac{6,500}{400,000} )[/tex]
⇒ = [tex]1,600,000\times 0.01625[/tex]
⇒ = [tex]26,000[/tex] ($)
You are considering an investment in Justus Corporation’s stock, which is expected to pay a dividend of $2.25 a share at the end of the year (D1 = $2.25) and has a beta of 0.9. The risk-free rate is 4.9%, and the market risk premium is 5%. Justus currently sells for $46.00 a share, and its dividend is expected to grow at some constant rate, g. Assuming the market is in equilibrium, what does the market believe will be the stock price at the end of 3 years? (That is, what is P3 ?)
Answer:
The price 3-years from now will be of $52,50
Explanation:
We solve for g using the Gordon model:
[tex]\frac{divends(1+g)}{Price} = return-growth[/tex]
As we don't know the rate of return we solve ofr that fist using CAPM:
CAPM (Capital Assets Price Model)
[tex]Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)[/tex]
risk free 0.049
market rate 0.099
premium market = market rate - risk free 0.05
beta(non diversifiable risk) 0.9
[tex]Ke= 0.049 + 0.9 (0.05)[/tex]
Ke 0.09400
We plug that in the gordon equation and solve for g:
[tex]\frac{2.25}{Price} = return-growth[/tex]
2.25 = 0.094 x 46 - g x 46
(2.25 - 4.324) / 46 = -g
-0.0450869565217391 = -g
g = 0.045087
In the gordon model the price of the stock increases at the grow rate:
as P = D/(r-g)
P1 = D(1+g)/r-g)
P1 / P = D(1+g)/(r- g) / D/(r- g) = 1 + g
[tex]P_3 = P(1+g)^3 = 46(1+0.045087)^3 = 52.50675369[/tex]
Table 1 shows the financial position of Bank Uno once $ 3375.00 has been deposited. Assume that the required reserve ratio is 5.00 %, that banks do not keep excess reserves, and that all the money loaned out from Bank Uno is deposited into Bank Duo (whose loans go to other banks not shown here). Once the lending and depositing process is complete, what will the accounts look like in Tables 2 and 3? Specify all answers to two decimal places. Table 1.

(a) Bank Uno's deposits in Table 2 = $3,375.00
(b) Bank Uno's reserves in Table 2 = $168.75
(c) Bank Duo's loans in Table 3 = $3,045.94
(d) Bank Uno's loans in Table 2 = $3,206.25
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation to the answers is now given as follows:
Also note: See the attached Microsoft Word file for how the accounts will look like in Tables 2 and 3 once the lending and depositing process is complete.
Required reserve ratio refers to the percentage of reserves that the central bank of a country requires banks in the country to keep on hand in case depositors want to withdraw their funds.
The loan given out by a bank is therefore obtained by deducting the required reserve from the total reserve.
Based on the explanation above, we have:
For Table 2, we have:
Deposits in Table 2 = Deposits in Table 1 = $3,375.00
Reserve in Table 2 = Deposits in Table 1 * Required reserve ratio = $3,375.00 * 5% = $168.75
Loans in Table 2 = Deposits in Table 1 - Reserve in Table 2 = $3,375.00 - $168.75 = $3,206.25
For Table 3, we have:
Deposits in Table 3 = Loans in Table 2 = $3,206.25
Reserve in Table 3 = Deposits in Table 3 * Required reserve ratio = $3,206.25 * 5% = $160.31
Loans in Table 3 = Deposits in Table 3 - Reserve in Table 3 = $3,206.25 - $160.31 = $3,045.94
Based on the above calculations, we can now answer the following:
(a) What are Bank Uno's deposits in Table 2? $
Bank Uno's deposits in Table 2 = $3,375.00
(b) What are Bank Uno's reserves in Table 2? $
Bank Uno's reserves in Table 2 = $168.75
(c) What are Bank Duo's loans in Table 3? $
Bank Duo's loans in Table 3 = $3,045.94
(d) What are Bank Uno's loans in Table 2? $
Bank Uno's loans in Table 2 = $3,206.25

Company sells a nature guide. The following information was reported for a typical month: Total Per Unit Sales $ 17,600 $ 16.00 Variable expenses 9,680 Contribution margin 7,920 Fixed expenses 3,600 Net operating income $ 4,320 What is Bear's current break-even point in unit and dollars
Answer:
500 units and $8,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Break even point in units
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= ($3,600) ÷ ($7,920 ÷ ($17,600 ÷ $16)
= ($3,600) ÷ ($7.2)
= 500 units
Now the break even point in dollars is
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= ($3,600) ÷ ($7.2 ÷ $16)
= $3,600 ÷ 0.45
= $8,000

balance of prepaid insurance = $3,600 - $1,200 = $2,400
If instead of recording prepaid insurance on January 1, you recorded insurance expense:
Dr Insurance expense 3,600
Cr Cash 3,600
Adjusting entry on December 31
Dr Prepaid insurance 2,400
Cr Insurance expense 2,400
balance of prepaid insurance = $2,400

At the local banking institution the branch manager doubles as the IT "go-to" by handling printer setups, resettingLAN passwords, and periodically monitoring the branch’s server health. Last week she noted that a handful of herbranch’s customers complained about suspicious activity in their checking accounts. She knew that the main branchwould handle it and repair any fraudulent charges. She also knew better than to bother the main branch with these customer complaints because the main branch is always ahead of things like this and quickly reminds her that they seewhat she does. Her only response, therefore, was to assure her customers that their accounts would be repaired withinten business days.The most likely law or regulation that becomes an issue upon her discovery i:__________.
a. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act’s Safeguards Rule
b. The Good Samaritan Law
c. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
d. The FTC’s Red Flags Rule
Answer: d. The FTC’s Red Flags Rule
Explanation:
The Federal Trade Commission has a Red Flags Rules that requires that financial institutions like Banks should implement a program that is capable of flagging instances of suspicious activity that could point to identity theft in the covered accounts that it holds.
This bank's customers are seeing some suspicious activity in their checking accounts which could point to a case of identity theft. The Red Flags rule could therefore be the most relevant rule to the manager's discovery.
t a sales volume of 36,500 units, Peres Corporation's sales commissions (a cost that is variable with respect to sales volume) total $576,700. To the nearest whole dollar, what should be the total sales commissions at a sales volume of 35,000 units? (Assume that this sales volume is within the relevant range.
Answer:
$553,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the total sales commissions
First step is to compute the Sales commission per unit using this formula
Sales commission per unit = Total sales commissions ÷ Unit sales
Let plug in the formula
Sales commission per unit= $576,700 ÷ 36,500
Sales commission per unit= $15.80
Last step is to find the Total sales commission using this formula
Total sales commission = Sales commission per unit × Unit sales
Let plug in the formula
Total sales commission= $15.80 × 35,000
Total sales commission=$553,000
Therefore the Total sales commission will be $553,000

Robert G. Flanders Jr., the state-appointed receiver for Central Falls, RI, said his city's declaration of bankruptcy had proved invaluable in helping it cut costs. Before the city declared bankruptcy, he said, he had found it impossible to wring meaningful concessions out of the city's unions and retirees, who were being asked to give up roughly half of the pensions they had earned as the city ran out of cash.
True or False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Missing question: The ability to declare bankruptcy increased the disagreement value of the city during negotiation with the unions
Alternatives available to an agreement determine the terms of an agreement. If bankruptcy is been declared in a situation where the cities can manipulate and evade much of their pension obligations owed to unions, such scenarios gives the city a much better alternative, if the favorable agreement with the city's unions and retirees emerge.

Answer:
1. A LOWER days of sales outstanding represents an efficient credit and collection policy. Between the two companies, LIKE GAMES is collecting cash from its customers faster than OUR PLAY, but both companies are collecting their receivables less quickly than the industry average.
2. Our Play's fixed assets turnover ratio is LOWER than that of Like Games. This could be because Our Play is a relatively new company, so the acquisition cost of it fixed assets is HIGHER that the recorded cost of Like Games's net fixed assets.
3. Like Games's total assets turnover ratios is 1.05, which is LOWER than the industry's average total assets turnover ratio. In general, a higher total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency.
Explanation:
DSO = (accounts receivable / credit sales) x 365
DSO industry = (7,700 / 510,000) x 365 = 5.5 days
DSO Like Games = (5,400 / 200,000) x 365 = 9.9 days
DSO Our Play = (7,800 / 200,000) x 365 = 14.2 days
Fixed asset turnover ratio = net sales / average fixed assets
Fixed asset turnover ratio industry = 510,000 / 433,500 = 1.18
Fixed asset turnover ratio Like Games = 200,000 / 110,000 = 1.82
Fixed asset turnover ratio Our Play = 200,000 / 160,000 = 1.25
Total asset turnover ratio = net sales / average total assets
Total asset turnover ratio industry = 510,000 / 469,200 = 1.09
Total asset turnover ratio Like Games = 200,000 / 190,000 = 1.05
Total asset turnover ratio Our Play = 200,000 / 250,000 = 0.8

Retained earnings 70500 72000
106,500 91,000
Answer: A. They increase cash provided by operating activities,
Explanation:
There is an error in the question. The Accounts Receivable are listed as Accounts Payable. Accounts receivable figures are $6,000 for 2018 and $11,000 for 2017.
The Accounts Receivable has therefore reduced in value from 2017 to 2018 by;
= 11,000 - 6,000
= $5,000
Seeing as Receivables have decreased, this means that some of those owing the business have paid their debt and so are no longer Accounts Receivable.
This payment of debt will increase the cash provided by operating activities.
A company has the following ratios:
Current ratio: 2.1 to 1.0
Accounts receivable turnover ratio. 350 to 1 Debt/ equity ratio. 20.0 to 1 Interest coverage ratio 7.0 to 1 Inventory turnover ratio 9.0 to 1 The industry averages are: A company has the following ratios: Current ratio: 4.1 to 1.0 Accounts receivable turnover ratio. 8 to 1 Debt/ equity ratio. 4.0 to 1 Interest coverage ratio 9.0 to 1 Inventory turnover ratio 8.0 to 1. Based on the above items, please compare and contrast the ratios between the company and the industry.
Required:
Analyze reasons why there could be differences and the overall financial position of the company. Also, what of the ways the company could finance the company without significant negative changes to the above financial metrics (ratios)?
Answer:
The company has current ratio almost half than the industry average. This is an indication that the company has lesser current assets than industry average. The ability of the company to meet its short term obligations is not suitable as the other companies in the industry are maintaining double current ratio. The ratio should never go below 1 as if it does the company may face its operational financing and working capital management issues.
The debt to equity ratio is significantly higher than the other companies of the same industry. The industry average is 4 whereas the company has ratio 20. This is significantly higher which indicates that there is heavy burden of debt on the company. High debt/ equity ratio indicates high risks. Investors avoid investing in such companies which have high debt/ equity ratio.
Explanation:
The company can go for equity financing as it will also help reduce its debt / equity ratio. The company will become less riskier and financing will be divided in debt and equity. The debt burden on assets will be reduced. There can be reduction in certain debt covenants. The company can use equity financing to fund its operations as well as purchase of non current assets to increase production and ultimately profitability of the company could rise.
A Corporation has two divisions: the South Division and the West Division. The corporation's net operating income is $26,900. The South Division's divisional segment margin is $42,800 and the West Division's divisional segment margin is $29,900. What is the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions
Answer:
$45,800
Explanation:
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = South division's divisional segment margin + west division's divisional segment - corporation's net operating income
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $42,800 + $29,900 - $26,900
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $45,800
What are the five steps to understanding how foreign born labor impacts native born workers?
Answer:
HOW MUCH DO FOREIGN - BORN WORKERS EARN?
Foreign-born individuals typically earn less than native-born individuals — on average, 83 cents for every dollar earned by their native-born counterparts. That disparity generally holds true across age groups and education levels, with one significant exception. Foreign-born individuals with a bachelor’s degree or more had median weekly earnings of $1,362 per week in 2018, about $53 per week higher than the median for the native-born population with that level of education.

Wholemark is an Internet order business that sells one popular New Year greeting card once a year. The cost of the paper on which the card is printed is $0.40 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.10 per card. The company receives $3.75 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Their customers are from the four areas: Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Pasadena. Based on past data, the number of customers from each of the four regions is normally distributed with mean 2,300 and standard deviation 200. (Assume these four are independent.)
What is the optimal production quantity for the card?
Answer:
9644
Explanation:
cost of paper on which a card is printed = $0.40 per card
cost of printing = $0.10 per card
profit made per card sold = $3.75
number of areas where customers are located (n)= 4
mean of customers from each region = 2300
standard deviation for each region = 200
note : each region is independent
The optimal production quantity for the card can be calculated going through these steps
first we determine
the cost of card = $0.10 + $0.40 = $0.50
selling value = $3.75
salvage value = 0
next we calculate for the z value
= ( selling value - cost of card) / ( selling price - salvage value )
= ( 3.75 - 0.50 ) / 3.75 = 0.8667
Z( 0.8667 ) = 1.110926 ( using excel formula : NORMSINV ( 0.8667 )
next we calculate
u = n * mean demand
= 4 * 2300 = 9200
б = [tex]200\sqrt{n}[/tex] = 200 * 2
= 400
Hence optimal production quantity for the card
= u + Z (0.8667 ) * б
= 9200 + 1.110926 * 400
= 9644.3704
≈ 9644
Mountain Cycle specializes in making custom mountain bikes. The company founder, PJ Steffan, is having a hard time making the business profitable. Knowing that you have good business knowledge and solid financial sense, PJ has come to you for advice.
Project Focus PJ would like you to determine how many bikes Mountain Cycle needs to sell per year to break even (Profit =0). Solve using the followings.
Fixed cost equals $65,000
Variable cost equals $1,575
Unit Bike price equals $2,500
Answer and Explanation:
Break even point in units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Sales price per unit – Variable costs per unit)
Given fixed cost =$ 65000
Variable cost per unit =$1575
Selling price per unit =$2500
Break even point in units= $65000/$2500-1575
=$65000/925
=70.2703
= 70 units
Therefore it would take 70units of sale of products for the company to break-even that is not make loss or profit
Profit/loss =0
FlanCrest Enterprises is a mid-sized auto supply company that manufactures electronic components for cars. It has approximately 200 employees, with about 150 working on the production line. Its primary customer is Widespread Motors, a large international auto manufacturer. Widespread Motors primarily sells their cars based on price, aiming to make the prices as low as possible in any particular market segment. The cars may not have as many features, but still operate and cost less than those of their competitors. FlanCrest, under the direction of Widespread, has been asked to reduce the price of its electronic components for the next order due to competitive pressure in the market for Widespread's best-selling car. To cut its prices and keep its biggest customer, FlanCrest announces that they will be eliminating the popular community college tuition reimbursement program and eliminating all overtime for production workers.
Which of the below choices most accurately describes the new HR strategy at FlanCrest Enterprises?
a. Commitment, because they are demonstrating commitment to the development of their workforce
b. Control, because they are attempting to control employees within the workplace
c. Commitment, because they are demonstrating commitment to their key customers
d. Control, because they are attempting to minimize labor costs
Answer: d. Control, because they are attempting to minimize labor costs
Explanation:
By trying to reduce labor costs, FlanCrest is engaging in a Control HR Strategy that will see them control the costs being expended on human resources.
This case shows how Controling activities such as cost cutting can be done to keep customers because if FlanCrest did not do what they did, they might have lost Widespread Motors as customers.
CAM charges for retail leases in a shopping mall must be calculated. The retail mall consists of a total area of 2.8 million square feet, of which 800,000 square feet has been leased to anchor tenants that have agreed to pay $2 per rentable square foot in CAM charges. In-line tenants occupy 1.3 million square feet, and the remainder is a common area, which the landlord believeswill require $8 per square foot to maintain and operate each year. If the owner is to cover total CAM charges, how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot?
Answer:
$3.08 per square foot
Explanation:
Calculation for how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot
First step is to find the common area
Common area = 2,800,000−800,000−1,300,000 Common area= 700,000
Second step is to find Common area operating costs
Common area operating costs = 700,000×8
Common area operating costs= $5.6 million
Third step is to find the Operating costs charged to in-line tenants
Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 5,600,000−800,000×2
Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 4,000,000
Last step is to calculate the In-line CAM charges using this formula
In-line CAM charges=Operating costs charged to in-line tenants -In-line tenants square feet
Let plug in the formula
In-line CAM charges = 4,000,000 ÷ 1,300,000
In-line CAM charges= $3.08
Therefore the amount that in-line tenants have to pay per square foot will be $3.08 per square foot.
