Answer:
Health Maintenance Organizations or HMOs
How different from the indemnity insurance system?
D. Taking responsibility for both financing and delivering health care services to a defined group of beneficiaries.
Explanation:
HMOs are healthcare maintenance organizations which coordinate the provision of health services and care to registered patients. They provide health insurance services to their patients for a monthly fee. They ensure cost-effectiveness in healthcare delivery through their coordination efforts.
On the other hand, indemnity insurance system involves some contractual agreements in which one party (the insurer or insurance company) guarantees compensation for actual or potential losses or damages sustained by another party (the insured).

Differentiate between cash-basis accounting and accrual-basis accounting. Why is accrual-basis accounting the preferred method for most businesses? The Internal Revenue Service requires all companies with sales over $5,000,000 to use the accrual-basis of accounting for income tax reporting purposes. Why
Answer:
Reason : To ensure constant flow of cash
Explanation:
Accrual Basis of accounting records transactions when they meet definition and recognition criteria of Assets, Liabilities,Equity, Expense and Incomes.
This is different from cash-basis accounting which records transactions at the receipt or payment of cash.
Because of timing difference, the cash transactions (cash basis) can happen a late than the day of recognition of the elements (accrual basis).
Hence Revenue services demand that income tax be calculated on accrual basis to ensure a constant flow of cash whenever an entity transact.
What is the future value of 20 periodic payments of $5,460 each made at the beginning of each period and compounded at 8%
Answer:
$269,849.14
Explanation:
FV = $5,460 * Future value of an annuity due (8%, 20)
FV = $5,460 * 49.42292
FV = $269849.1432
FV = $269,849.14
The future value of 20 periodic payments of $5,460 each, made at the beginning of each period and compounded at 8%, is $269,849.15.
What is future value?The future value of periodic payments is the compounded value for a future period at an interest rate.
The formula for computing the future value of periodic payments is:
FV=PV(1+r)^{n}
Where:
FV = future value
PV = present value
r = annual interest rate
{n} = number of periods interest held
We can use compute the future value of periodic payments using an online finance calculator as follows:
Data and Calculations:N (# of periods) = 20 years
I/Y (Interest per year) = 8 years
PV (Present Value) = $0
PMT (Periodic Payment) = $5,460
Results:
Future Value = $269,849.15 ($109,200 + $160,649.15)
Sum of all periodic payments = $109,200 ($5,460 x 20)
Total Interest = $160,649.15
Thus, the future value of 20 periodic payments of $5,460 each, made at the beginning of each period and compounded at 8%, is $269,849.15.

Depreciation Expenses up to December 31, 2021
= Fair value of equipment / Useful life * 6/12
= ($61,600 / 10) *6/12
= $6,160 * 6/12
= $3,080
Therefore, the total decrease in earnings (Pretax) in Larlas December 31, 2021 Income statement would be

The natural rate of unemployment is the unemployment rate at which the inflation rate has no tendency to increase or decrease. However, the natural rate of unemployment is not fixed. What causes changes in the natural rate of unemployment?
Answer:
The natural rate of unemployment = frictional unemployment + structural unemployment. it doesn't include cyclical unemployment because the natural rate of unemployment can only occur when the economy is growing while the cyclical unemployment happens when the economy stops growing or falls in a recession.
The factors that affect the natural rate of unemployment are imperfections in the labor market (e.g. minimum wages or taxes associated to employment), or employees that cannot adjust to changes in the economy, the labor market or even our normal daily lives (e.g. it is extremely difficult for someone that doesn't know how to use a computer to find a job nowadays, and this is a permanent change that applies almost everywhere).
There is no such thing as 0 unemployment, because people are always looking for better jobs and the skills necessary for performing certain jobs keep changing. Some abnormal events like the current health pandemic also increase the natural rate of unemployment, at least temporarily. Other factors that may decrease the natural rate of unemployment are wars, e.g. with WWII there was a labor shortage.

Suppose that each 0.1-percentage-point increase in the equilibrium interest rate induces a $3 billion decrease in real planned investment spending by businesses. In addition, the investment multiplier is equal to 5, and the money multiplier is equal to 3. Furthermore, every $10 billion decreases in the money supply bring about a 0.1-percentage-point increase in the equilibrium interest rate. Use this information to answer the following questions under the assumption that all other things are equal.
Calculate by how much the real planned investment must decrease if the Federal Reserve desires to bring about a $60 billion decrease in the money supply level.
Answer and Explanation:
(1) Decrease in investment = Decrease in money supply / Investment multiplier
= $60 billion / 5 = $12 billion
Real planned investment will decrease by $12 billion
The Federal Reserve decreased money supply by 60 billion and we wish to determine by how much this would affect real planned investment. We have therefore applied the investment multiplier to determine decrease in real planned investment. This is based on Keynes' theory of investment multiplier

Which of these statements about the production order quantity model is FALSE? The production order quantity model is appropriate when the assumptions of the basic EOQ model are met, except that receipt is noninstantaneous. Average inventory is more than one-half of the production order quantity. Because receipt is noninstantaneous, some units are used immediately and not stored in inventory. All else equal, the smaller the ratio of demand rate to production rate, the smaller is the production order quantity. None of these is false.
Answer:
Question is written again to add options:
A. The production order quantity model is appropriate when the assumptions of the basic EOQ model are met, except that receipt is noninstantaneous.
B. Average inventory is more than one-half of the production order quantity.
C. Because receipt is noninstantaneous, some units are used immediately and not stored in inventory.
D. All else equal, the smaller the ratio of demand rate to production rate, the smaller is the production order quantity.
E. None of these is false.
The correct answer is option B "Average inventory is more than one-half of the production order quantity."
Explanation:
With an inventory, it is possible to separate parts of the production process , to separate assets from goods are yet to be produced or are already produced that could serve as a source of income for a company.
An average inventory is less than one-half of the production order quantity.
The production order quantity model doesn't make it possible for the ordered quantity to be received at one time.
The production order quantity model helps a company on how to manage inventory holding costs and the average fixed ordering cost, thereby making it possible for a company to check and minimize its inventory cost and to have a guide on what quantity to produce at every point in time.
The risk-free rate of return is 8%, the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 15%, and the stock of Xyrong Corporation has a beta coefficient of 1.2. Xyrong pays out 40% of its earnings in dividends, and the latest earnings announced were $10 per share. Dividends were just paid and are expected to be paid annually. You expect that Xyrong will earn an ROE of 20% per year on all reinvested earnings forever. a. What is the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. If the market price of a share is currently $100, and you expect the market price to be equal to the intrinsic value one year from now, what is your expected 1-year holding-period return on Xyrong stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. The intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock is $90.91.
b. Your expected 1-year holding-period return on Xyrong stock is 5.82%.
Explanation:
Given in the question are the following:
rf = risk-free rate of return = 8%, or 0.08
rm = expected rate of return on the market portfolio = 15%. or 0.15
b = beta = 1.2
dp = Dividend payout ratio = 40%, or 0.40
e = latest earnings = $10
ROE = Return on equity = 20%, or 0.20
We therefore proceed as follows:
a. What is the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock ? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the intrinsic value of a share as follows:
Intrinsic value = (e * dp) / [rf + b * (rm - rf) - ROE * (1 - dp)] .......... (1)
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Intrinsic value = ($10 * 40%) / [8%+ 1.2 * (15% - 8%) - 20% * (1 - 40%)]
Intrinsic value = $4 / [8% + 1.2 * 7% - 20% * 60%
Intrinsic value = $4 / (8% + 0.084 - 12%)
Intrinsic value = $4 / 0.044
Intrinsic value = $90.91
Therefore, the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock is $90.91.
b. If the market price of a share is currently $100, and you expect the market price to be equal to the intrinsic value one year from now, what is your expected 1-year holding-period return on Xyrong stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
To do this, we first calculate the price of the share after one year from now as follows:
p1 = Intrinsic value * (1 + ROE * (1 - dp)) ............................ (2)
Where p1 denotes the price of the share after one year from now.
Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have:
p1 = 90.91 * (1 + 20% * (1-40%))
p1 = 90.91 * (1 + 20% * 60%)
p1 = 90.91 * 1.12
p1 = 101.8192
We can now calculate the expected 1-year holding-period return on Xyrong stock as follows:
Expected 1-year holding-period return = (p1 + e * dp) / 100 - 1 ............ (3)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (3), we have:
Expected 1-year holding-period return = [(101.8192 + 10 * 40%) / 100] - 1
Expected 1-year holding-period return = [105.8192 / 100] - 1
Expected 1-year holding-period return = 1.058192 - 1
Expected 1-year holding-period return = 0.058192, or 5.82%
Therefore, your expected 1-year holding-period return on Xyrong stock is 5.82%.

Managers are important members of the organization. Within an organization, there are managers at four levels: top, middle, first-line, and team leaders. This activity is important because each of these levels has different managerial challenges and decisions to make to achieve organizational effectiveness. The goal of this exercise is to challenge your knowledge of the four levels of management.
Answer:
1. Pat is Middle Level.
Pat is trying to implement the strategic goals of the company which are set by Top Management. That would make Pat a Middle level manager.
2. Rick is Top Level.
Rick is developing the policies for the entire company which would place Rick at Top Manager level.
3. Daisy is a First-line Manager
Daisy is responsible for the loading products such that it is done effectively. This is an operational duty which would place Daisy at First-line level.
4. Ruth is a First-Line Manager
Ruth directs art staff who are non-managers which would make Ruth a first-line manager
5. Gary is Top Level
By developing projections on long term growth, that means Gary contributes to strategic decisions thereby making Gary top level.
6. Greg is Middle Level
Greg is in charge of first line managers which places him directly on top of them which means he is a middle level manager.
7. Mike is a Team Leader
Mike is in charge of the team which is the textbook role of a team leader.
8. Nancy is a Team leader
The members of the team go to Nancy when they need to resolve conflict or when they want to coordinate their activities. As the team leader is in charge of team coordination, Nancy must therefore be a team leader.
Credit collections are % two months following the sale, % in the month following the sale, and % in the month of sale. The remaining % is expected to be uncollectible. What is the total cash received in April from the April sales at Feeney Furniture?
Answer: $49,120
Explanation:
Given the collection strategy listed, the total cash received in April would be
= Cash sales for April + (30% * March credit sales) + ( 62% of April credit sales)
= 39,000 + ( 0.3 * 11,000 ) + ( 0.62 * 11,000)
= 39,000 + 3,300 + 6,820
= $49,120
