Children in poor neighborhoods often have bleak outlooks on life and see little gain from studying. In a recent experiment, children in poor neighborhoods were paid $100 for each A they earned during a six-week grade reporting cycle. Suppose a participant in this experiment was expending $0 worth of effort in studying for each class before the experiment. Over the next 6 weeks, the student has a math class and an English class, where getting an A in math would require the student to exert $98 worth of effort, while getting an A in English would require the student to exert $84 worth of effort. In this experiment, the student (would or would not) increase time studying for math, and the student (would or would not) increase time studying for English.
Answer:
For maths; the student would not increase time studying
For English; the student would increase time studying
Explanation:
We can make this assertion because we are told that the children are from poor neighborhoods, so they have desire to ease their financial lack.
Further, because they do not see the importance of studying, they likely would avoid the extra effort of $98 for maths when they can exert $84 worth of effort for English which is lower.
From a cash receipts standpoint, mandating that a single designated employee is authorized to handle cash receipts (at the counter or via the mail) is an example of the control activity:___________
A) Human resource controls
B) Independent internal verification
C) Establishment of responsibility
D) Segregation of Duties
Answer: C) Establishment of responsibility
Explanation:
Establishment of responsibility is an internal control method that works by assigning one person the role and responsibility of mangling an activity.
This way it is easier to monitor the way that activity is done and the resources attached to it because with only one person having access, any unexplained events can be queried from the person who's sole responsibility it was to look after the activity the event occurred in.
In this scenario for instance, if the cash receipts are found to be missing in any way, the first person that will be questioned is the employee who was solely authorized to handle cash receipts (at the counter or via the mail).
1. A Letter of Credit (or LC) is one of the major pillars on which International Trade stands. a) What is a Letter of Credit? b) With the aid of a diagram, explain the LC procedure. c) Explain to the CEO of Mbo Limited (a company in Ghana) which wants to buy large quantities of White Refined Granulated Sugar from Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd (a company in Brazil) why the LC is the most acceptable method to both the exporter and importer in a transaction such as he is about to undertake.
Answer:
A Letter of Credit (or LC)
There are various types of letter of credit (LC) that prevail in export/import trade transactions. These include Commercial, Export / Import, Transferable and Non-Transferable, Revocable and Irrevocable, Stand-by, Confirmed, and Unconfirmed, Revolving, Back to Back, Red Clause, Green Clause, Sight, Deferred Payment, and Direct Pay LC. We can explain it by using the following illustrated examples:
a) Mbo Limited's bank can issue a letter of credit to Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd.'s bank a credit guarantee by which Mbo's bank guarantees that Mbo Limited will settle Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd in full for the amount involved in their trade relationship. It is usually used by importers and exporters to settle trade credit. It is the most acceptable means of settling debts across national boundaries.
b) A diagram is attached to show how a letter of credit works. The procedures are detailed below:
A. A Sales Contract is established between the seller (exporter) and the buyer(importer).
B. The importer makes a request to its bank for issuance of letter of credit.
C. The importer’s bank issues a letter of credit to the exporter’s bank.
D. The exporter’s bank advises on the letter of credit to the exporter.
E. The exporter presents export documents (bill of lading and invoice) to its bank.
F. The exporter’s bank delivers the documents to the importer’s bank.
G. The importer’s bank debits the account of the importer for the stated amount after confirming that the documents are in order.
H. The importer’s bank pays the purchase price to the exporter’s bank.
I. The exporter’s bank credits the exporter’s bank to show payment. This ends the transaction.
c. The letter of credit guarantees both the Mbo Limited and Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd. It guarantees and ensures that payment for goods are not paid to Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd until there is evidence that the correct goods and quantity have been shipped by Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd (through the bill of lading). It also assures Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd of payment for shipped goods since the documents cannot be released to Mbo Limited unless Mbo Limited's account had been debited and the money transmitted to Tiffany Anderson Group Ltd through its bank.
Explanation:
As explained above.
In which of the following statements are the terms "demand" and "quantity demanded" used correctly?
A) When the price of ice cream rose, the demand for both ice cream and ice cream toppings fell.
B) When the price of ice cream rose, the quantity demanded of ice cream fell and the demand for ice cream topping fell.
C) When the price of ice cream rose, the demand for ice cream fell and the quantity demanded of ice cream toppings fell.
D) None of these statements uses the terms correctly.
Answer:
B) When the price of ice cream rose, the quantity demanded of ice cream fell and the demand for ice cream topping fell.
Explanation:
A rise in the price of a good would lead to a fall in the quantity demanded of the good.
So, a rise in the price of ice-cream would lead to fall in the quantity demanded of ice cream.
A rise in the price of ice-cream would lead to a fall in the demand for ice cream toppings.
The Cash account in the ledger of Clear Windows shows a balance of $12,596 at September 30. The bank statement, however, shows a balance of $16,253 at the same date. The only reconciling items consist of a bank service charge of $16, a large number of outstanding checks totaling $6,740, and a deposit in transit.
-Cardinal Company's bank statement showed a balance at May 31 of $180,974. The only reconciling items consisted of a large number of outstanding checks totaling $51,847. At May 31, what balance should Cardinal's Cash account show?
A) $232,821.
B) $129,127.
C) $77,280.
D) Some other amount.
Answer:
1. $3,067
2. B) $129,127.
Explanation:
a. The computation of amount deposit in transit is shown below:
The amount of deposit in Transit = Balance as per Cash Book as on 30th Sept - Cheque outstanding realized - Bank charges - Balance as per Bank Book
= $12,596 + $6740 - $16 - $16,253
= $3,067
Deposit in Transit inflates the general ledger initially till it is credited in the bank book.
b. The computation of balance should Cardinal's Cash account show
Cash Account should show a balance = Bank Statement Balance as on May 31 - Outstanding Cheque on May 31
= $180,974 - $51,847
= $129,127
As we can see that the cash account balance is less because there is an outstanding
The Jackson-Timberlake Wardrobe Co. just paid a dividend of $1.75 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4 percent per year indefinitely. Investors require a return of 11 percent on the company's stock.
Required:
a. What is the current stock price?
b. What will the stock price be in 18 years?
Answer:
(A) $26
(B) $52.67
Explanation:
The Jackson Timberlake wardrobe corporation paid a dividend of $1.75 per share
The growth rate is 4%
= 4/100
= 0.04
The rate of return is 11%
= 11/100
= 0.11
(A) The current stock price can be calculated as follows
Current price= dividend ×(1+growth rate)/required return-growth rate
= $1.75×(1+0.04)/(0.11-0.04)
= 1.75× 1.04/0.07
= 1.82/0.07
= $26
(B) The amount of stock price in 18 years can be calculated as follows
= Current price × (1+growth rate)^18
= $26 × (1+0.04)^18
= $26 × 1.04^18
= $26 × 2.0258
= $52.67

Using the weighted-average costing method and rounding the average unit cost to the nearest whole cent, the value of the inventory on hand at the end of the period would be
Answer:
$2,650
Explanation:
beginning inventory 300 units at $5.10 = $1,530
1st purchase 500 units at $5.20 = $2,600
2nd purchase 700 units at $5.30 = $3,710
3rd purchase 600 units at $5.50 = $3,300
total number of units 2,100
total cost = $11,140
average cost per unit = $5.30
ending inventory = 500
value of ending inventory using average cost = 500 x $5.30 = $2,650

a) 1.1x
b) 1.2x
c) 0.8x
d) 0.6x
Answer:
The question is not clear and complete.
Let me explain how you can calculate Enterprise Value (EV) to Revenue Multiple
Explanation:
A Enterprise Value (EV) to Revenue Multiple is used to value a business by dividing its enterprise value by its annual revenue. The formula to calculate the Enterprise Value (EV) to Revenue Multiple is EV/Revenue

The following calculations help you see how the ratio of debt to GDP changes from one year to the next. Suppose that in a hypothetical country with a currency called the ducat, debt is equal to 140 trillion ducats and GDP is equal to 100 trillion ducats. This means that the ratio of debt to GDP is 1.4, or 140%. Also, suppose that the deficit is 7 trillion ducats, which is 7% of GDP.
When the government runs a deficit, it spends more than it collects in tax revenue. To make up the difference, it borrows. So if t runs a deficit of 7 trillion ducats, debt increase by 7 trillion ducats. So debt next year is 147 trillion ducats. Suppose that there is no growth in real GDP and inflation is equal to -2% per year. Negative inflation is the same as deflation. Next year's GDP will be equal to _____ trillion ducats.
if the ratio of debt to GDP is 1.4 this year, the ratio of debt to GDP next year when inflation is equal to -2% year will be _____
Suppose that the deficit remains constant at 7% of GDP and that inflation persists at -2%. The debt to GDP ratio the year after next will be _____
Answer:
Ratio of debt to GDP changesWhen the government runs a deficit, it spends more than it collects in tax revenue. To make up the difference, it borrows. So if t runs a deficit of 7 trillion ducats, debt increase by 7 trillion ducats. So debt next year is 147 trillion ducats. Suppose that there is no growth in real GDP and inflation is equal to -2% per year. Negative inflation is the same as deflation. Next year's GDP will be equal to _98____ trillion ducats.
If the ratio of debt to GDP is 1.4 this year, the ratio of debt to GDP next year when inflation is equal to -2% year will be __1.5___
Suppose that the deficit remains constant at 7% of GDP and that inflation persists at -2%. The debt to GDP ratio the year after next will be __1.6___
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
1. Debt equals 140 trillion ducats
GDP is equal to 100 trillion ducats
Ratio of debt to GDP = 1.4 or 140%
Deficit = 7 trillion ducats = 7% of GDP
2. Now debt increases by 7 trillion ducats to 147 trillion ducats
Deflation = -2%
Therefore, next year's GDP will be equal to 98 (100 x 0.98) trillion ducats
Ratio of debt will change to 147/98 = 1.5
3. With deficit constant at 7% of GDP or 6.86 trillion (7% of 98 trillion) and inflation at -2%,
Debt will be equal to 147 + 6.86 trillion = 153.86 trillion
and GDP will be equal to 96 (98 - 1.96) trillion; 1.96 = 2% of 98 trillion
Then Debt to GDP = 153.86/96 = 1.6
What is the present value of a perpetuity of $100 per year if the appropriate discount rate is 7%? If interest rates in general were to double and the appropriate discount rate rose to 14%, what would happen to the present value of the perpetuity? Ehrhardt, Michael C.. Corporate Finance: A Focused Approach (p. 187). Cengage Learning. Kindle Edition.
Answer:
As the interest rate doubles, the present value is the half.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cf= $100
i= 0.07
i= 0.14
To calculate the present value of a perpetuity, we need to use the following formula:
PV= Cf/i
PV= present value
Cf= cash flow
i= interest rate
First perpetuity:
PV= 100/0.07
PV= $1,428.57
Second perpetuity:
PV= 100/0.14
PV= $714.286
As the interest rate doubles, the present value is the half.
The holders of ZZZ Corporation's bonds with a face value of $1,000 can exchange that bond for 35 shares of stock. The stock is selling for $25.00. What is the conversion price

Answer:
IRR = 16.5%
Explanation:
The IRR is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflows to that of cash outflows. At the IRR, the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project is equal to zero
If the IRR greater than the required rate of return , we accept the project for implementation
If the IRR is less than that the required rate , we reject the project for implementation
IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%
NPV = PV of annual savings - initial cost
PV of annual savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r
A- annual savings in operating cost , r- rate of return, n- number of years
NPVa at 10% discount rate
PV of cash inflow = (9,000× 1-1.1^-6)/0.1 = 39,197.35
NPV = 65,328.91 - 33,165 = 6,032.35
NPVb at 20% discount rate
PV of cash inflow = (9,000× 1-1.2^-6)/0.2= (3,235.41)
NPV = 29,929.59 -33,165 = (3,235.41)
IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%
IRR = 10% + ( (6,032.35/(6,032.35 +3,235.41) )× (20-10)%= 16.51%
IRR = 16.5%
How does context influence your communication? Consider the language and culture people grew up with, and the role these play in communication styles.
Answer with Explanation:
The context of communication adds value in the communication as now the listener would be more engaged and attentive to what the person is conveying in his message. It also helps listener to interpret communication.
Something might be funny in one culture and not in another. This means if you are adding something that is culturally correct then it is more probable that the message conveyed was effective. Hence contexts must be according to the culture, norms, stories of people whom they know, etc. Hence cultural differences are of immense importance when we are setting up contexts for our communication.Level of Formality. The communication must be as per the occasion and level of formality of the occasion. In simple words, I would say that "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". If you are in a Formal occasion then your presentation must reflect use of formal language and when you aren't attending a formal occasions then you must be very relaxed and easy with the people (Usually friends) and of-course the dressing would be very casual.

TYR just announced yesterday that its fourth-quarter earnings will be 35% lower than last year's fourth quarter. You observe that TYR had an abnormal return of 3.7% yesterday. This suggests that
Answer: Investors expected the earnings increase to be smaller than what was actually announced.
Explanation:
Abnormal return on an asset such as stock refers to the difference between actual returns and expected returns. As such, if it is positive, that would mean that the actual returns are/ will be higher than the expected/anticipated returns.
TYR had an abnormal return of 3.7% which would mean that the the 35% lower fourth-quarter earnings was higher than investors expected from TYR.
Wayne Enterprises declared annual cash dividends of $10 million, $12 million, and $50 Million in its first three years of operation-2017, 2018, and 2019 respectively. Wayne also had $200 million of outstanding, cumulative and nonparticipating, preferred shares that yield 10%. How much in dividends did the common stock shareholders receive in 2019
Answer:
the dividend to be paid to the common stock shareholder is $30 million
Explanation:
The computation of the dividend to be paid for the common stock shareholder received is shown below:
= Total dividend for the year 2019 - (Number of outsanding cumulative shares × yield percentage)
= ($50 million - $200 million × 10%)
= $50 million - $20 million
= $30 million
hence, the dividend to be paid to the common stock shareholder is $30 million

Jack's Toys sells kites for $35 each. Variable costs are per kite. Fixed costs are per month. What is the contribution margin ratio for the kites?
Answer:
contribution margin ratio= (selling price - unitary variable cost) / selling price
Explanation:
We weren't provided with enough information to calculate the contribution margin ratio, but, I will provide the formula and an example to guide an answer.
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= (selling price - unitary variable cost) / selling price
For example:
Selling price= $35
Unitary variable cost= 23
contribution margin ratio= (35 - 23)/35
contribution margin ratio= 0.34
What is the rationale for governments to issue monopoly-promoting licenses to firms providing services such as trash collection
Answer: d. economies of scale
Explanation:
Trash Collection can be a costly business because it includes going around the city, paying workers, high vehicle input costs and the like. These costs would need to be recovered and have less chances of doing so if the firms had to compete amongst themselves for customers.
A monopoly-promoting license giving a firm significant control would lead to Economies of scale that would ensure that they had enough customers for their costs to reduce as they offer services to the people as their costs would then reduce as they service more people without having to worry about competition.
During 2019, Jerry is a self-employed therapist, and his net earned income is $121,000 from his practice. Jerry's SEP Plan, a defined contribution plan, states that he will contribute the maximum amount allowable. Calculate Jerry's contribution.
Answer:
Jerry's SEP Plan
Maximum Allowable Contribution
= $30,250.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculation:
Net earned income = $121,000
SEP IRA Plan = 25% of $121,000 = $30,250
The value of the above calculation is less than the $57,000 maximum.
b) Jerry, as a self-employed therapist, can make contributions to his SEP-IRA each year. These contributions cannot exceed the lesser of 25% of compensation or $57,000 for 2020 ($56,000 for 2019 and subject to annual cost-of-living adjustments for later years), according to the information published by the Internal Revenue Service.
c) Jerry's simplified employee pension (SEP or SEP IRA) is a retirement plan that Jerry can establish as a self-employed therapist or individual.
Which of the following is true regarding the payback method: 18 8 01:02:53 a. When a company is 'cash poor', a project with a short payback period but a low rate of return may be preferable to a project with a long payback period and a high rate of return b. The computation of the payback period is the project's initial investment divided by the present value of its net cash flows. c. A payback period of 35 means a company will earn 35 times its initial investment, d. The payback period increases as the cost of capital increases
Answer:
b. The computation of the payback period is the project's initial investment divided by the present value of its net cash flows.
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow
Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows
payback period decreases as cost of capital increases
A payback period of 35 means a company will recover the amount invested in a project in 35 years
Suppose that the election of a popular presidential candidate suddenly increases people’s confidence in the future. Use the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to analyze the effect on the economy
Answer:
The aggregate demand will increase.
Explanation:
The increase in people’s confidence that the future return will be good or higher then the people will increase their current spending. Thus, an increase in the current spending will result in the rise of aggregate demand. consequently, the aggregate demand curve will shift rightwards, and this forms a new equilibrium at a higher position. Resulting in increased price and increased quantity. Thus, in future, people will see faster economic growth.
