Answer: b) a capital gain due to the contribution of $6,000 and a zero basis in the partnership interest.
Explanation:
Since we are informed that Carol has 30% interest in partnership capital, profits, and losses and also contributes a machine with a basis of $40,000 and an FMV of $80,000 and the partnership assumes a $70,000 recourse liability on the machine.
Therefore, her capital gain will be:
= 30% × $20,000
= 0.3 × $20,000
= $6,000
Therefore, there will be a capital gain due to the contribution of $6,000 and a zero basis in the partnership interest.
Consider the following information:Portfolio Expected Return Standard DeviationRisk-free 6.0% 0%Market 10.2 21A 8.2 10a. Calculate the sharpe ratios for the market portfolio and portfolio A. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)Sharpe RatioMarket portfolio Portfolio A b.If the simple CAPM is valid, state whether the above situation is possible?YesNo
Answer:
Explanation:
Given the following :
Portfolio - - - - - - Expected return - - - Std
Risk-free - - - - - - - - 6.0% - - - - - - - - - - 0%
Market - - - - - - - - - 10.2 - - - - - - - - - - - - 21

Calculate the sharpe ratios for the market portfolio and portfolio A.
Sharpe Ratio = (Expected portfolio return - Risk-free rate of return) / standard deviation of portfolio return
Sharpe ratio of market portfolio:
(10.2 - 6) / 21
4.2 / 21 = 0.20
Sharpe ratio of portfolio A:
(8.2 - 6) / 10
2.2 / 10 = 0.22
B) NO
If simple CAPM is valid, the above situation is Not possible, BECAUSE, according to the simple Capital Asset Pricing Model, the market portfolio is the most efficient, however with a Sharpe ratio of 0.20, which is lower than the sharpe ratio obtained for portfolio A, 0.22 then, portfolio A is more efficient.
Andrews Corp. ended the year carrying $153,576,000 worth of inventory. Had they sold their entire inventory at their current prices, how much more revenue would it have brought to Andrews Corp.?
Answer: $153,576,000
Explanation:
At year end, all the costs of inventory have been accounted for and incurred by the company. The inventory left therefore has no costs attached to it.
If Andrews Corp had been able to sell the inventory they had at year end, they would therefore not have incurred any new costs for doing so. The revenue they would have gotten would be equal to the worth of the inventory as is which was $153,576,000.

In connection with this note, Universal Travel Inc. should report interest payable at December 31, 2021, in the amount of: (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Interest = $5,834.67
Explanation:
In November 1, the note bears 12 month = 7%
From November 1 to December 31 = 2 month
Hence for 2 month Interest = 2 * 7/12(%) = 1.1667%
Thus, interest = $500,100 * 1.1667%
Interest = 5834.6667
Interest = $5,834.67 approximately.

Complete Question:
When preparing an advertisement, an investment adviser whose principal business is rendering advice to customers about securities, is prohibited from:
Group of answer choices
A. showing past performance
B. using a paid testimonial
C. using illustrative performance charts
D. using the term "investment counsel"
Answer:
B. using a paid testimonial.
Explanation:
When preparing an advertisement, an investment adviser whose principal business is rendering advice to customers about securities, is prohibited from using a paid testimonial by the Securities and Exchange Commission Act.
A paid testimonial can be defined as a written or verbal statement made by an individual for the affirmation of good quality, performance and value of a product such as a stock.
Generally, a paid testimonial endorses an investment adviser but may not be a true reflection of his or her performance in stocks trading and that would negatively impact the customers.
The shareholders' equity of Green Corporation includes $320,000 of $1 par common stock and $510,000 par of 7% cumulative preferred stock. The board of directors of Green declared cash dividends of $61,000 in 2021 after paying $31,000 cash dividends in each of 2020 and 2019. What is the amount of dividends common shareholders will receive in 2021
Answer:
$25,300
Explanation:
The computation of the common shareholders received the dividend for the year 2021 is shown below:
Since in the year 2021, the dividend i.e. declared is $61,000
Now the preference shareholders dividend is
= $510,000 × 0.07
= $35,700
So for common shareholders, the dividend would be
= $61,000 - $35,700
= $25,300
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:
Negative Float on a Partial Path:
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 quantification of delays in a project. Negative float means that there is a delay exceeding the intended or allowed float by an ascertainable time. This means that float is about the time when an activity takes longer than originally planned. Some projects have inbuilt standard float which had been computed based on past experience of similar projects, with some allowances made for different expected scenarios.
Which of the following is not one of the six key decisions in project management?
a. Identify projects to implement
b. Selecting the project manager & the project team
c. Planning and designing the project
d. Deciding on the project manager's tittle
Answer:
Option D. Deciding on the project manager's tittle
Explanation:
The reason is that the composition of the project, resources required to execute a project, planning and designing of the project and deciding which strategy to implement are the key factors that decides the success of the project. Hence Option A, B and C each are one of the six key decisions in the project management.
Option D is incorrect because deciding the project manager's title doesn't any important role as it doesn't have any significant impact on the productivity of the project manager. Hence Option D is not one of the six key decisions in the project management.
When a decrease in credit card availability increases the cash people hold, the money-demand curve shifts to the right. As a result, there is an increase in the interest rates. What should the Federal Reserve do to restore the interest rate level back to the original interest rate?
Answer:
The FED must decrease the price of money (or interest rates), and to do that it will buy US securities. By purchasing securities, the FED will decrease the money supply, lower the interest rates and halt inflation. This is called a contractionary monetary policy.
It can also increase the banking system's required reserve ratio, but besides lowering the interest rates, it will also decrease the supply of credit cards even further, so one action could offset the other. That is why this policy might be inefficient in this specific case.

Clemente Inc. incurs the following costs to produce 10,000 units of a subcomponent: Direct materials $8,400 Direct labor 11,200 Variable overhead 12,600 Fixed overhead 16,200 An outside supplier has offered to sell Clemente 10,000 units of the subcomponent for $2.85 a unit. If Clemente could avoid $3,000 of fixed overhead by accepting the offer, net income would increase (decrease) by
Answer:
$6700
Explanation:
Direct materials $8,400 + Direct labor 11,200 + Variable overhead 12,600 + Fixed overhead 16,200
= 48400 total
2.85 x 10000= 28500
Fixed overhead 16,200 - $3,000
= 13200
28500 + 13200 = 41700
Change in net income = 48400 - 41700
= 6700
The net income of the company would increase by $6700
One common problem with the current ratio is that it is susceptible to "window dressing." If prior to the end of the accounting period Saxon Company has a current ratio of 1.5 and management wishes to boost its current ratio it may decide to:___________
a. purchase short-term investments with cash.
b. purchase more inventory with cash.
c. pay off accounts payable prior to year-end.
d. purchase more inventory on account.
Answer:
c. pay off accounts payable prior to year-end.
Explanation:
The current ratio refers to the relationship between the current assets and the current liabilities
The formula to compute is as follows
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ current liabilities
It is a liquidity ratio that represents the liquidity of the company
Now for improving the current ratio first the company pay off the account payable before the year ending as it automatically reduced the balance of account payable
Hence, the correct option is c.
As a central bank has greater independence from the government, the economy's inflation rate tends to
Answer:
The economy's inflation rate tends to stable and low
Explanation:
As a central bank has greater independence from the government, the economy inflation rate tends to be stable and low Because when central banks are independent from the government, they tend to make better monetary policy decisions as they do not work for votes, so they take suitable measure without thinking about politics. Thus, they have better credibility in the country.
The independence granted to the central bank tend to let the bank utilizes its full fiscal knowledge at its disposal with the help of past record, knowledge of accountant, economist, financial analyst and other expert working under the independent and head bank. This leads to stability in the economy, and inflation expectation are low.
The following data relate to labor cost for production of 3,600 cellular telephones: Actual: 2,430 hrs. at $14.5 Standard: 2,390 hrs. at $14.8 a. Determine the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Direct labor rate variance, it is
= (Actual rate - Standard rate) × Actual hour
= ($14.5 - $14.8) × 2,430 hours
= $729 favorable
For Time variance, it is
= (Actual hours - standard hours) × standard rate
= (2,430 hours - 2,390 hours) × $14.80
= $592 unfavorable
So, the Total labour cost variance is
= $729 favorable + $592 unfavorable
= $137 favorable
. In competitive markets, price is equal to marginal cost in the long run. Explain why this statement is not true for monopolistic competition.
Answer:
A Monopolistic Market may consist of many firms providing the same goods and services but these goods and services will be differentiated from one another in such a way that the goods will be perceived differently.
This has the effect of giving firms in such a market a downward sloping demand curve. The firm will maximise output at the point where Marginal Revenue equals marginal cost. This point will be lower than the demand curve so the firm will charge a price that is higher than the marginal cost at that point.
Refer to graph attached and notice how the price P is above the Long run marginal cost curve.

A. 25% of the monthly returns are less than or equal to the first quartile. 50% of the monthly returns are less than or equal to the second quartile. 75% of the monthly returns are less than or equal to third quartile.
Explanation:
The data shows that the data is less than 25% in the first quartile. The other half of the data falls in the second quartile which is about almost 50% of the data. The 75% of the monthly returns are less than or equal to the third quartile.
Given a stock index with a value of $1,500, an anticipated dividend of $62 and a risk-free rate of 5.75%, what should be the value of one futures contract on the index?
Answer:
$1,356.44
Explanation:
Computation for the value of one futures contract on the index
Using this formula
Futures contract =(Stock index value/(1+Risk-free rate)-Anticipated dividend
Let plug in the formula
Futures contract=$1,500/(1+0.0575) - $62
Futures contract=$1,500/(1.0575) - $62
Futures contract=$1,418.44 - $62
Futures contract=$1,356.44.
Therefore the value of one futures contract on the index will be $1,356.44.
Suppose that the marginal cost of mining gold is constant at $300 per ounce and the demand schedule is as follows:
PRICE (per oz.) QUANTITY (per oz.)
$1000 1000
$900 2000
$800 3000
$700 4000
$600 5000
$500 6000
$400 7000
$300 8000
A) If the number of supplies is large, what would be the price and quantity?
B) If there is only one supplier, what would be the price and quantity?
C) If there are only two suppliers and they form a cartel, what would be the price and quantity?
D) Suppose that one of the two cartel memebers in part (c) decides to increase its production by 1,000 ounces while the other member keeps its production constant. What will happen to the revenues of both firms?
Answer:
a) The price would be $300 and quantity would be 8000 oz
b) The price would be $700 and quantity would be 4000 oz
c) The price would be $700 and quantity would be 2000 oz each
d) The revenues of both firm would : increase ( for the firm that increase production ) and decrease ( for the firm that doesn't increase production)
Explanation:
marginal cost = $300
calculate the value of TR ( total revenue for each price and quantity given )
TR = price * quantity
also calculate the MR ( marginal revenue for each )
MR = [tex]\frac{change in TR }{change in quantity}[/tex]
For the first value : TR = $1000000 , MR = nil
For the second value : TR = $1800000 , MR = $800
For the third value : TR = $2400000. MR = $600
For the fourth value : TR = $2800000 , MR = $400
For the fifth value: TR = $3000000 , MR = $200
For the sixth value : TR = $3000000, MR = $0
For the seventh value : TR = $2800000, MR = -$200
For the eighth value : TR = $2400000, MR = -$400
a)The price would be $300 and quantity would be 8000 oz because from the table above that is the point with highest quantity supplied
b) The price would be $700 and quantity would be 4000 oz because the single supplier would put the price and quantity to be supplied at the point where marginal cost is closest to the marginal revenue
d) The revenues of both firm would : increase ( for the firm that increase production ) and decrease ( for the firm that doesn't increase production) this is because increase in production is directly proportional to increase in revenue .
To make bond purchases, the Fed gets the money __________. Select the correct answer below: exclusively from proceeds it has received from selling bonds in the past

Sperazza Corporation produces large commercial doors for warehouses and other facilities. In the most recent month, the company budgeted production of 6,200 doors. Actual production was 6,600 doors. According to standards, each door requires 6.4 machine-hours. The actual machine-hours for the month were 43,490 machine-hours. The standard supplies cost is $2.20 per machine-hour. The actual supplies cost for the month was $87,415. Supplies cost is an element of variable manufacturing overhead. The variable overhead efficiency variance for supplies cost is:
Answer:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $2,310 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual production was 6,600 doors.
According to standards, each door requires 6.4 machine-hours.
The actual machine-hours for the month were 43,490 machine-hours.
The standard supplies cost is $2.20 per machine-hour.
To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
Standard quantity= 6.4*6,600= 42,440
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (42,440 - 43,490)*2.2
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $2,310 unfavorable
as a marketing manager you reach out to the director of marketing to let her knoiw about problems you are having with communications with the sales team and explain how these issues are preventing you from achieveing your sales goals
Answer:
One of the problems I am having with the sales team is lack of communication.
There is a lot of sales and marketing activities going on the company, yet we don't have a system in place to ensure that I receive accurate feedback from all the relevant sections. For instance, there is no way to accurately know what feedback regarding our products and services that the sales team are collecting.I am not getting real-time results as they are happening. Sometimes it takes 6 weeks to get information about something that happened. By that time, if it's a negative occurrence, we are way out of course before we can make corrections. If it's a great occurrence, we lose out on the moment and the timing to capitalise on it for more results.This lack of data/poorly collected information is also affecting my working relationship with my superiors as I am unable to provide my superiors with market intelligence.Solutions
In order to mitigate these problems, I suggest we hold an emergency training for every member of the sales and marketing team on communications and how it can significantly improve our bottom line as well as everyone's take home.
For instance, if there is a new entrant into the market, the sales team usually are the first to know. If this is not communicated immediately, we lose out on the right timing to react with precision and speed.
I would also suggest that we provide the sales team with a simple app on their mobile phones which enables them to give feedback in realtime and at the end of each days work. We would need to work with the IT team on this.
Thank you.
