Pam retires after 28 years of service with her employer. She is 66 years old and has contributed $57,750 to her employer's qualified pension fund, all of which was taxable when earned. She elects to receive her retirement benefits as an annuity of $5,775 per month for the remainder of her life. Assume that Pam lives 25 years after retiring. What is her gross income from the annuity payments in the twenty-fourth year?
Answer:
$69,300
Explanation:
Calculation for her gross income from the annuity payments in the twenty-fourth year
Using this formula
Gross income Annuity payment =Annuity retirement benefits*Number of month in a year
Let plug in the formula
Gross income Annuity payment =$5,775× 12 payments
Gross income Annuity payment = $69,300
Therefore her gross income from the annuity payments in the twenty-fourth will be $69,300
Deborah would like to invest a certain amount of money for two years and considers investing in a one-year bond that pays 4% and a two-year bond that pays 7%. Deborah is considering the following investment strategies:
Strategy A: Buy a one-year bond that pays 4% and in one year buy another one-year bond.
Strategy B: Buy a two-year bond that pays 7% this year and 7% next year.
If the one-year bond that Dina can purchase in one year pays 9%, Deborah will choose:_______
Answer:
If the one-year bond that Dina/Deborah can purchase in one year pays 9%, Deborah will choose:_______
Strategy B.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Interest on one-year bond = 4%
Interest on a two-year bond = 7%
Investment strategies:
Strategy A: Buy a one-year bond that pays 4% and in one year buy another one-year bond.
Strategy B: Buy a two-year bond that pays 7% this year and 7% next year.
b) Although choosing a fixed income investment is a conservative strategy because returns are generated from low-risk securities that pay predictable interest, this strategy may be preferred by Deborah instead of another that pays at variable interest rates. The variable-interest bond will need to pay higher varying interest rates to be attractive to Deborah. Paying 4% in year one and another 9% in year two will not make the bond investment more attractive than a straight two-year bond that pays at 7% per year.
Suppose that Texas Trucking (TT) has earnings per share of $3.45 and EBITDA of $45 million. TT also has 5 million shares outstanding and debt o $150 million (net of cash). You believe that Oklahoma Logistics and Transport (OLT) is comparable to TT in terms of its underlying business, but OLT has no debt. OLT has a P/E of 12.5 and an enterprise value to EBITDA multiple of 7. Based upon the enterprise value to EBITDA ratio, the value of a share of Texas Trucking is closest to:
Answer:
$33.00 per share
Explanation:
Calculation to the value of a share of Texas Trucking
Using this formula
Enterprise value = EBITDA × multiple
Let plug in the formula
Enterprise value = $45 × 7 = $315
Enterprise value=$315- $150
Enterprise value=$165
Enterprise value=$165/5 million share
Enterprise value = $33.00 per share
Therefore the value of a share of Texas Trucking is closest to:$33.00 per share

A manager is trying to decide whether to purchase a certain part or to have it produced internally. Internal production could use either of two processes. One would entail a variable cost of $17 per unit and an annual fixed cost of $200,000; the other would entail a variable cost of $14 per unit and an annual fixed cost of $240,000. Three vendors are willing to provide the part. Vendor A has a price of $20 per unit for any volume up to 30,000 units. Vendor B has a price of $22 per unit for demand of 1,000 units or less, and $18 per unit for larger quantities. Vendor C offers a price of $21 per unit for the first 1,000 units, and $19 per unit for additional units.
A. If the manager anticipates an annual volume of 10,000 units, which alternative would be best from a cost standpoint? For 20,000 units, which alternative would be best?
B. Determine the range for which each alternative is best. Are there any alternatives that are never best? Which?
TC for 10,000 units TC for 20,000 units
Int. 1: $ Int. 1: $
Int. 2: $ Int. 2: $
Vend A $ Vend A $
Vend B $ Vend B $
Vend C $ Vend C $
Answer:
A. If the manager anticipates an annual volume of 10,000 units, the alternative that would be best from a cost standpoint is Vendor B.
Again, for annual volume of 20,000 units, Vendor B is the best choice.
B. For Process I, it is best within the range of 20,555 and 200,000
For Process 2, the best range is 200,000 and above
Vender A, there is no best range
Vender B, the best range is 1 to 20,555
Vender C, there is no best range
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Internal Process 1 = $17Q + $200,000
Internal Process 2 = $14Q + $240,000
Vendor A = $20Q up to 30,000 units
Vender B = $18Q
Vender C = $21*1,000 + $19(Q-1,000)
Calculation of total cost under each alternative:
Internal Vender A Vender B Vender C
Process 1 Process 2
Cost of production:
Variable cost per unit $17 $14 $20 $18 $19
For 10,000 Units:
Fixed costs $200,000 $240,000 0 0 $21,000
Variable cost 170,000 140,000 $200,000 $180,000 $171,000
Total cost $370,000 $380,000 $200,000 $180,000 $192,000
For 20,000 units:
Fixed costs $200,000 $240,000 0 0 $21,000
Variable cost 340,000 280,000 $400,000 $360,000 $361,000
Total cost $540,000 $520,000 $400,000 $360,000 $382,000
An investment offers $5,200 per year, with the first payment occurring one year from now. The required return is 7 percent. a. What would the value be today if the payments occurred for 20 years
Answer:
the present value of an annuity is $55,088.87
Explanation:
The computation of the value today is given below:
Present value of annuity is
= Annuity × [1 - (1+interest rate)^-time period] ÷ rate
= $5,200 × [1 - (1.07)^-20] ÷ 0.07
= $5,200 × 10.59401425
= $55,088.87
hence, the present value of an annuity is $55,088.87

A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who together produced an average of 90 carts per hour. Workers receive $15 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $11 per hour, while output increased by 5 carts per hour.
Comment on the changes in productivity according to the two measures. (Round your intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
1. Labor productivity is increased or decreased by what %?
2. Multifactor productivity is increased or decreased by what %?
Answer: Hope this help. Please mark me brainliest :)
Explanation:
a.
Before: 90 ÷ 6 = 15.00 carts per worker per hour.
After: 96 ÷ 5 = 19.20 carts per worker per hour.
b.
Before: $14 x 6 = $84 + $40 = $124; hence 90 ÷ $124 = 0.73 carts/dollar cost.
After: $14 x 5 = $70 + $51 = $121; hence 96 ÷ $121 = 0.79 carts/dollar cost.
c.
Labor productivity increased by 28.00% (4.20/15.00).
Multifactor productivity increased by 8.22% (0.06/0.73).

Globe Services plans on closing its doors after one more year. During its last year in business, the firm expects to generate a cash flow of $67,000 if the economy booms and $44,000 if it does not. The probability of a boom is 30 percent. The firm has debt of $53,400 that is due in one year. That debt has a market value of $45,800 today. Ignore taxes. The current promised return on debt is __________ percent, and the expected return on debt is __________ percent.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Current promised return on debt is
= $53,400 ÷ $45,800 - 1
= 16.60%
And, the expected return on debt is
The expected amount would be
= $53,400 × 30% + $44,000 × 70%
= $16,020 + $30,800
= $46,820
Now the expected return on debt is
= $46,820 ÷ $45,800 - 1
= 2.23%
Avatar Company uses the indirect method to prepare its statement of cash flows. Please refer to the following portion of the comparative balance sheet:
2014 2013 Increase/decrease
Accounts payable $ 4,000 $ 6,000 $(2,000)
Accrued liabilities 2,000 1,000 1,000
Long-term notes payable 84,000 90,000 (6,000)
Total liabilities $90,000 $97,000 $(7,000)
Additional information provided:
During 2014, the company repaid $40,000 of long-term notes payable.
During 2014, the company borrowed $34,000 on a new note payable.
Based on the above information only, what amount of net cash flow would be shown in the financing section of the statement of cash flows?
A) $6,000 negative
B) $6,000 positive
C) $5,000 positive
D) $7,000 negative
Answer:
D) $7,000 negative
Explanation:
What amount of net cash flow would be shown in the financing section of the statement of cash flows?
Amount of net cash flow to be shown in the financing section of the statement of cash flows = Decrease in Account payable - Increase in accrued liabilities + Borrow of new long term notes payable - Repayment of long term notes payable
= -$2,000 + $1,000 + $34,000 - $40,000
= -$7,000
Which of the following statements about the importance of each competitive factors (but especially such highly influential factors as selling prices, S/Q ratings, and number of models/styles offered) in determining company sales volumes and market shares in a particular geographic region is false
Question Completion:
O Tiny cross-company differences on a highly influential competitive factor (like selling prices, or S/Q ratings or models/styles) nearly always have a bigger impact on company sales/market shares in a region than do large company-to-company differences on less influential competitive factors.
O While it is true that some competitive factors affect the brand choices of buyers more than others, what matters most in determining sales and market shares is competitive effort and the regional average on each competitive factor
O How much differences in the number of models/styles that companies have in their product lines matter in determining each company's unit sales/market share in a region is not a fixed amount but rather is an amount that varies from *big (when model/style differences are also "big") to "small
O In the rare instance that all companies in a region should happen to offer buyers the very same number of differences are "small") to "zero" (when the models/styles offered by rivals are identical). models/styles, then models/styles become a total competitive non-factor and have zero impact on buyer appeal for one brand versus another-in such cases, 100% of the regional sales and market share differences among company rivals stem directly from differences on the other 12 competitive factors.
O Big company-to-company differences in the number of models/styles offered to buyers in a region weigh heavily in accounting for company-to-company differences in branded pairs sold and market share in all four geographic regions.
Answer:
The statements about the importance of each competitive factors (but especially such highly influential factors as selling prices, S/Q ratings, and number of models/styles offered) in determining company sales volumes and market shares in a particular geographic region which is false is:
O Tiny cross-company differences on a highly influential competitive factor (like selling prices, or S/Q ratings or models/styles) nearly always have a bigger impact on company sales/market shares in a region than do large company-to-company differences on less influential competitive factors.
Explanation:
This implies that the following factors drive company sales volumes and market shares in a particular geographic region: competitive effort, differences in the number of models/styles that companies have in their product lines, big company-to-company differences in the number of models/styles offered to buyers in a region, among the other 12 competitive factors.

Consistency principle requires one the continue using an accounting method consistently for future accounting periods so that information can be easily comparable.
In the given scenario the accountant tells Tenisa that US GAAP allows a company to choose its inventory valuation method as long as it doesn't change over time without a justifiable reason.
This is an example of consistency principle
One employee is in charge of the following activities at a refreshment stand: Activity Activity Time per Customer Greet customer 5 seconds Take order 25 seconds Process order 1.5 minutes Print receipt 30 seconds If the demand rate is 20 customers per hour, what are the flow rate (in customers per hour), utilization, and cycle time (in minutes per customer)
Answer:
A. Flow rate = 20 customers per hour
B. Utilization =0.83
C. Cycle time= 3 minutes per customer
Explanation:
A. Calculation for the flow rate
First step is to calculate the Processing time
Processing time = 5 + 25 + (1.5 ×60) + 30
Processing time=30+90+30
Processing time= 150 seconds
Second step is to calculate the Process capacity
Process capacity = 1/150 ×60 per seconds/minute ×60 per minutes/hour
Process capacity= 24 customers per hour
Now let calculate the Flow rate
Using this formula
Flow rate= Min(Demand, Process capacity)
Let plug in the formula
Flow rate= Min(20, 24)
Flow rate = 20 customers per hour
Therefore the flow rate will be 20 customers per hour
B. Calculation for the utilization
Using this formula
Utilization = Flow rate/Process capacity
Let plug in the formula
Utilization = 20/24
Utilization =0.83
Therefore Utilization will be 0.83
C. Calculation for the Cycle time
Using this formula
Cycle time = 1/Flow rate ×60 per minutes/hour
Let plug in the formula
Cycle time= 1/20 ×60 per minutes/hour
Cycle time= 3 minutes per customer
Therefore the Cycle time will be 3 minutes per customer
A production department's output for the most recent month consisted of 8,800 units completed and transferred to the next stage of production and 5,800 units in ending Work in Process inventory. The units in ending Work in Process inventory were 50% complete with respect to both direct materials and conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the month, assuming the company uses the weighted average method.
Answer:
11,700 units
Explanation:
Calculation for the equivalent units of production for the month, assuming the company uses the weighted average method
Unit completed and transferred to the next stage 8,800 units
Add Unit in ending goods in process inventory 2,900 units
(5,800 units*50%)
Equivalent units of production 11,700 units
(8,800 units+2,900 units)
Therefore the equivalent units of production for the month, assuming the company uses the weighted average method will be 11,700 units

Explanation:
Common stock of $9,000 was posted on the debit side as it appeared first. This follows the normal order of recording transactions in the journal. The accounts to be debited are recorded first before the accounts to be credited. However, this entry appears abnormal. Cash of $9,000 should have appeared first in the journal before the Common Stock. Whichever is the correct interpretation, all the journal entries have been posted to the T-accounts accordingly.

Answer:
Yogurt
Explanation:
You are a supplier of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Production of the circuit boards consists of several steps – Surface Mounting, Baking, and Final Assembly. Surface Mounting puts integrated circuits (ICs) and other components on a PCB. These PCBs are then Baked as a batch and kept in an oven for some time so that the ICs are soldered onto the PCBs. Finally, these PCBs are taken and manually assembled into a case, and wired with connectors. The processing rate at the Surface Mounting station is 15 PCBs/minute, the processing rate for Baking is 5 PCBs/minute, and the processing rate for Final Assembly is 3 PCBs/minute. If there are on average 24 units of (work in process) inventory and the system is working at capacity, what is the flow (throughput) time for PCBs?
Answer:
the flow (throughput) time for PCBs is 40 units per minute
Explanation:
Given that;
Work in progress WIP = 24
we calculate the time spent to make the PCBs, lead time
Processing rate at the Surface Mounting station is 15 PCBs/minute
so time taken by a single PCB at the SM operation = 1/15 min
Processing rate for Baking is 5 PCBs/minute
so time taken by a single PCB at the baking operation = 1/5 min
the processing rate for Final Assembly is 3 PCBs/minute
so time taken by a single PCB at the assembly = 1/3 min
∴ total time taken will be;
(1/15) + (1/5) + (1/3)
= 0.6 min
Now, using Little's Law;
Working in progress WIP = throughput × lead time
Throughput = WIP / Lead time
so we substitute
Throughput = 24 / 0.6 min
Throughput = 40 units per minute
Therefore the flow (throughput) time for PCBs is 40 units per minute
In each of the following cases, determine how supply or demand shifts and how the equilibrium changes.
Select the correct answer in each blank space (_______)
a. Smartphones: Microchips used in smartphones become less costly to produce. As a result, the __________________( *Supply of and demand for, *Supply of, or *Demand for) smartphones increase(s), causing the equilibrium price to (*Rise, *Fall, or *Rise, fall or remain unchanged) and the equilibrium quantity to (*Rise, fall or remain unchanged, *Rise, *Fall)
b. ALS medical research funds: The ALS ice bucket challenge goes viral, leading to greater awareness of the benefits of and need for ALS research. As a result, the _____________ ( *Supply of and demand for, *Supply of, or *Demand for) ALS research increase(s), causing the equilibrium price (or opportunity cost) of such research to __________ (*Rise, fall or remain unchanged, *Rise, *Fall) and the equilibrium quantity to __________ (*Rise, fall or remain unchanged, *Rise, *Fall)
Answer:
Supply of
fall
rise
b. demand for
rise
rise
Explanation:
A microchip is a complement in the production of smartphones
Complement goods are goods used together.
If the price of microchips reduces, the cost of making smartphones falls and as a result, the supply of smart phones increases. This would lead to a rightward shift of the supply curve. This leads to a decrease in equilibrium price and an increase in equilibrium quantity
Due to the awareness, the demand for ALS research would increase, this would lead to a rise in price and quantity demanded.
In recent years, large financial institutions such as mutual funds and pension funds have become the dominant owners of stock in the United States, and these institutions are becoming more active in corporate affairs. What are the implications of this trend for agency problems and corporate control?
Answer:
Agency problems arise when managers (agents) of a company seek their own best interests instead of that of the stockholders (principal).
With Pension funds owning a significant amount of stock in companies now, they will potentially reduce agency problems because they have experience in the are of limiting agency problems and by owning a lot of shares they will have the power to influence the company to make policies that will limit these problems as well.
This is where Corporate control comes in. With such large control, Pension funds can dictate some processes in the company and they will most likely do so in a manner that will ensure that the shareholders (like themselves) will benefit as should be the case.

A company's bank statement shows a cash balance of $4,210. Comparing the company's cash records with the monthly bank statement reveals several additional cash transactions such as checks outstanding of $2,100, NSF check of $230, interest earned of $36, service fee of $46, and a check for $180 recorded twice by the company. Calculate the correct balance of cash?
Answer:
Explanation:
Based on the information that have been provided in the question above, the correct balance of cash will be calculated as the difference between the bank balance that was shown in the bank statement and the checks that was outstanding. This will be:
= $4210 - $2100
= $2110
Therefore, the correct balance of cash will be $2110.

Many Arab countries have a larger underground sector of the economy relative to developed countries. What effect would this have on the GDP of Arab countries?
Understate (reduce) the GDP of Arab countries,
Ob It has no effect on measuring the GDP of Arab countries.
Overstate (increase) the GDP of Arab countries.
C
None of the above,
Answer: Understate (reduce) the GDP of Arab countries,
Explanation:
Underground economy simply refers to the trade which involves goods and services that the government of a particular country isn't aware of or trading involving illegal activities.
We should note that the underground activities are not added to the gross domestic product of countries. This, therefore leads to a reduction in the GDP of such countries. In this case, there'll be an understatement of the GDP of the Arab countries.
