Nick’s Novelties, Inc., is considering the purchase of new electronic games to place in its amusement houses. The games would cost a total of $475,000, have a fifteen-year useful life, and have a total salvage value of $47,500. The company estimates that annual revenues and expenses associated with the games would be as follows: Revenues $ 240,000 Less operating expenses: Commissions to amusement houses $ 70,000 Insurance 45,000 Depreciation 28,500 Maintenance 30,000 173,500 Net operating income $ 66,500 Required: 1a. Compute the payback period associated with the new electronic games. 1b. Assume that Nick’s Novelties, Inc., will not purchase new games unless they provide a payback period of five years or less. Would the company purchase the new games?
Answer:
a. 5 years
b. Yes they will because the payback period is 5 years.
Explanation:
a. Payback period
First calculate the annual cash inflow:
= Net income + Depreciation
= 66,500 + 28,500
= $95,000
The investment cost was $475,000
Payback period = Investment cost / Annual cash inflow
= 475,000 / 95,000
= 5 years
b. The company will purchase the games because they have a payback period of 5 years.
Bob agreed to tutor Lola in Spanish for two (2) hours and Lola agreed to pay $25.00 per hour for the tutoring services. Bob tutored Lola and she paid Bob $50.00. This means that the parties have been _____.
Answer: discharged by performance
Explanation:
When parties to a contract are discharged from their duties as per the contract, it means that they are no longer party to the agreement. When this is done by performance, it means that the discharge was done because both parties have fulfilled the demands of the contract.
Bob agreed to tutor Lola for two hours and Lola agreed to pay Bob $50 for that. Bob then tutored her for the two hours and was paid the amount. The parties have therefore fulfilled their obligations to each other and so the contract has been satisfied.

Asteria earned a $27,000 salary as an employee in 2020. How much should her employer have withheld from her paycheck for FICA taxes
Answer:
$2,070
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much should her employer have withheld from her paycheck for FICA taxes
Social security tax 6.2%
Medicare tax which is 1.45%
Social security tax = $27,000 x 6.2%
Social security tax = $1,674

A French family flies from Paris, France to New York City where they have a brief layover before flying to Montreal, Canada. While in New York the family has a $25 dollar lunch at a hot dog stand near Time Square. How does this lunch contribute to U.S. GDP?
a. U.S. GDP remains unchanged, but French GDP increases by 22 Euros ($25 U.S.).
b. GDP decreases by $25
c. GDP increases by $25
d. GDP does not change since the family is not from the U.S.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :
spending on durables - e.g. buying a laptop
spending on nondurables - e.g. buying clothes, food
spending on services - e.g. payment of hospital bill
the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods
Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services
Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment. The purchase of a new limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure
Net export = export - import
the purchase of hotdog constitutes consumption of non durable goods and this would increase US GDP by $25

The cost of capital for a firm with a 60/40 debt/equity split, 4.86% cost of debt, 15% cost of equity, and a 35% tax rate would be:______.
Answer: 7.9%
Explanation:
The weighted cost of capital for a firm shows the cost of capital from all sources that fund the business including stock and long term liabilities.
Formula is:
= (Weight of equity * cost of equity) + (Weight of debt * (cost of debt * (1 - tax rate) ))
= (0.4 * 0.15) + ( 0.6 * ( 0.0486 * ( 1 - 35%)))
= 0.06 + 0.018954
= 7.895%
= 7.9%
Suppose velocity is constant, but real GDP is not independent of the money supply. If this is the case, a 10 percent increase in the money supply will:
Answer: d. have an unpredictable effect on inflation.
Explanation:
Changes in money supply affect inflation with an increase in money supply causing inflation to rise and a decrease calling inflation to fall. Real GDP is supposed to be independent of the money supply as it is not meant to be affected by inflation.
If a situation arises where real GDP is not actually independent of the money supply then that means that it is not independent of inflation either. Should the money supply therefore rise, the effect on the prices of goods and services (real GDP) in the economy will be unpredictable as it might go either way.
Investors require an after-tax rate of return of 10% on their stock investments. Assume that the tax rate on dividends is 30% while capital gains escape taxation. A firm will pay a $2 per share dividend 1 year from now, after which the firm's stock is expected to sell at a price of $30.
Required:
a. Find the current price of the stock.
b. Find the expected before-tax rate of return for a 1-year holding period.
c. Now suppose that the dividend will be $3 per share. If the expected after-tax rate of return is still 10%, and investors still expect the stock to sell at $20 in 1 year, at what price must the stock now sell?
d. What is the before-tax of return? Why is it now higher than in part (b)?
Answer:
a. $28.5
b. 12.28%
c. $29.18
d. 13.09%
Explanation:
a. let current price = p
p*1.10 = 2(1-0.3)+30
= 1.4+30/1.10
= 31.4/1.10
= 28.5
the current price of the stock is approximately 28.5 dollars
b. (30+2 /28.5)-1
= 32/28.5 - 1
= 0.1228
= 12.28%
expected before tax rate is 12.28%
c. 3(1-0.3)+30 / 1.10
= 3*0.7+30/1.10
= $29.18
d. before tax rate of return
= (3$ + 30-29.18)/29.18
= 0.1309
= 13.09%
it is now higher here given that given that a greater dividend causes more tax burden.

Under variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is: Multiple Choice applied directly to Work-in-Process Inventory. expensed immediately when incurred. never expensed. treated in the same manner as variable manufacturing overhead.
Answer: expensed immediately when incurred.
Explanation:
Under variable costing, only variable costs can be apportioned to the product as product costs. This means that fixed costs have to be expensed immediately they are incurred so that they do not feature in the product costs.
It is not a widely used principle as both U.S. GAAP and IFRS don't allow for its use in financial statements. They prefer absorption costing where fixed costs are apportioned to the products created.

Total value = $3,741,477 thousand
Therefore total revenue would be:$3,741,477 thousand
Profit margin is synonymous with the term _______ and tells whether or not total profit will be positive.
Answer: Average profit
Explanation:
Both average profit and profit margin show the percentage of profit that a company can expect to receive from $1 worth of sales. It is calculated by dividing the profits by the sales figure,
If sales are $10 and profits are $3, the profit margin would be:
= 3/10
= 30%
This means that for every $1 of sales, there is $0.30 in profit. This method shows us whether the total profit will be negative or positive by showing us individual product profit.

The SRT partnership agreement specifies that partnership net income be allocated as follows in the following order: Partner S Partner R Partner TSalary allowance $20,000 $25,000 $15,000Interest on avg. capital balance 10% 10% 10%Remainder 30% 30% 40%Average capital balances for the current year were $60,000 for S, $50,000 for R, and $40,000 for T.Refer to the information given. Assuming no restrictions and current year net income of $45,000, what amount should be allocated to each partner? Partner S Partner R Partner TA) $17,000 $21,000 $7,000B) ($9,000) ($9,000) ($12,000)C) $13,500 $13,500 $18,000D) $22,500 $22,500 $0
Solution :
Note 1
calculation of remaining income after distribution of salary and interest on capital.
Total Net Income $ 45,000
Less : Salary allowance $ 60,000
($20,000 + $25,000 + $15,00)
Less : Interest on capital $ 15,000
($ 6,000 + $ 5,000 + $ 4,000)
Remaining income / (loss) to be allocated $ 30,000
Since the remaining income is negative, i.e. it loss to the SR partnership, so such Loss will also be allocated to the partners. Since in a partnership, Partners are required to share profits as well as losses. Hence, such loss will be deducted from the other shares.
