Answer:
The correct answer is 4. If current market interest rates rise, the value of outstanding bonds will fall.
Explanation:
The economics of financial investment of bonds indicates that if the value of the interest rate rises, said rise implies a virtual increase in the risk of the bond, that is, it pays more interest because it is more risky to invest in it.
Therefore, in the event of an interest increase, the price of the bonds will fall. On the contrary, a lower interest rate infers a greater security of the financial asset, with which the lower the interest rate, the higher the value of the bond.
Mcfarlain Corporation is presently making part U98 that is used in one of its products. A total of 7,000 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials $ 3.70 Direct labor $ 3.60 Variable overhead $ 1.40 Supervisor's salary $ 4.00 Depreciation of special equipment $ 3.90 Allocated general overhead $ 4.10 An outside supplier has offered to produce and sell the part to the company for $17.10 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. If management decides to buy part U98 from the outside supplier rather than to continue making the part, what would be the annual financial advantage (disadvantage)?
Answer: Financial disadvantage of -$30,800
Explanation:
If purchased externally then the equipment used in production will no longer be used therefore its depreciation would be irrelevant to the unit.
The fixed costs would be incurred regardless so will not factor in the decision either.
Therefore the total relevant cost of producing internally is;
= (Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead + Supervisor's salary) * Units produced
= (3.7 + 3.6 + 1.4 + 4) * 7,000
= 12.7 * 7,000
= $88,900
If Part U98 is purchased from outside at $17.10 a unit;
= 7,000 * 17.10
= $119,700
Total Financial advantage (disadvantage)
= Variable cost and supervisor salary - Cost of purchasing outside
= 88,900 - 119,700
= -$30,800
= (30,800)

Ned's Natural Foods sells unshelled peanuts by the pound. Historically, Ned has observed that daily demand is normally distributed with a mean of 80 pounds and a standard deviation of 10 pounds. Lead time also appears normally distributed with a mean of eight days and a standard deviation of one day. What ROP would provide a stockout risk of 10 percent during lead time?
Answer: 749 units
Explanation:
The formula for the Re-Order Point is;
ROP = d(LT) + z√( LTσd²+ d² σLT²)
Where,
d is demand
LT is lead time
σd is standard deviation of daily demand
σLT is standard deviation of lead time
As the stockout risk is to be 10%, z will be a service level of 90% which is ±1.28
ROP = 80(10) + 1.28√( 8(10)²+ 80² * 1²)
= 800 + 1.28√( 800 + 6400)
= 748.61
= 749 units
Redding Industrial Supply had common stock of $6,800 and retained earnings of $4,925 at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, the common stock balance is $7,000 and the retained earnings account balance is $5,498. The net income for the year is $938. What is the retention ratio?
Answer:
61.09 %
Explanation:
For computing the retention ratio we need to do the following calculations
Beginning Retained earnings = $4,925
And,
Net Income = $938
So, before dividend Retained earnings is
= $4,925 + $938
= $5,863
Now the total amount paid is
= before dividend Retained earnings - ending retained earnings
= $5,863 - $5,498
= $365
Now
The Dividend payout ratio is
= Dividend paid ÷ Net Income
= $365 ÷ $938
= 0.389126
And, finally
Retention ratio is
= 1 - Dividend payout ratio
= 1 - 0.389126
= 0.610874 or 61.09 %

interest is eligible to be capitalized as part of an assets cost rather than being expensed immediately when:
Answer:
d. All of these answer choices are correct.
Explanation:
Capitalization of interest rates is not always appropriate. The ideal situation to do so is whenever an asset needs major investment and long construction time, thus generating a considerable amount of interest costs.
Moreover, if there are huge extra accounting and administrative costs associated with capitalizing interest costs, and the advantage of the extra information is relatively low, you do not need to capitalize it.
So the all given options are fulfilled

If the economy is normal, Matthews, Inc. stock is expected to return 14.3 percent. If the economy falls into a recession, the stock's return is projected at a negative 8.7 percent. The probability of a normal economy is 80 percent. What is the variance of the returns on this stock
Answer:
Variance =0.008464
Explanation:
The probability that there will be recession = 100 – 80 = 20%
Therefore expected return = Return × probability
=(0.8 × 14.3) + (0.2 × -8.7)
= 9.7%
Total probability is calculated in the table (use the attached table)
Standard deviation (SD) = [Total probability (84.64%) × (Return (8.7%) - Expected Return (14.3%))^2 / Total probability (84.64%) ]^(1/2)
=9.2%
Thus, variance = (SD)^2
variance =0.008464

"On June 12th, a customer buys 100 shares of DEF stock at $49 per share. On June 30th of the same year, the customer sells the stock at $39. On July 10th of the same year, the customer buys DEF stock at $42. The customer's cost basis in DEF stock is:"
Answer:
The customer's cost basis in DEF stock is:
$4,900
Explanation:
The stock price = $49 per share
Number of shares = 100
The value on June 12 = $4,900 ($49 x 199)
The DEF stock cost basis is the amount which is initially paid for the purchase of the 100. When the DEF stock is sold, the tax liability is determined by how much is spent to buy the security (cost basis) and the sales price. Since the security is sold at a price lower than the original purchase price, the difference is not taxable as a capital gain.

You purchased a stock at a price of $54.24. The stock paid a dividend of $1.39 per share and the stock price at the end of the year is $48.78. What are your capital gains on this investment?
Answer:
Capital loss = $(5.46)
Explanation:
Return on investment would be the proportion of the amount invested that is earned as profit.
Profit here includes dividends earned plus capital gains less broker's commission.
Capital gains/(loss) represents an appreciation/(depreciation) in the stock value. It is usually measures by the change in the stock value over the investment period under focus
Capital gain/loss on stock = stock price at the end - stock price at the beginning
Stock price at the end= 48.78
Stock price at the beginning = 54.24
Capital loss = (48.78 - 54.24) = $(5.46)
The dividend would not be included simply it is not a capital item
Capital loss = $(5.46)

An asset has had an arithmetic return of 10.3 percent and a geometric return of 8.3 percent over the last 90 years. What return would you estimate for this asset over the next 10 years? 25 years? 30 years?
Answer:
Blume's formula combines the geometric and arithmetic means of an asset to be able to predict its returns in a given period.
The formula is;
= Geometric Mean*(T-1)/(N-1) + Arithmatic Mean *(N-T)/(N-1)
Where;
T = Period in question
N = Total period
10 years
= 8.3%*(10-1)/(90-1) + 10.3%*(90-10)/(90-1)
= 10.1 %
25 years
= 8.3%*(25-1)/(90-1) + 10.3%*(90-25)/(90-1)
= 9.76%
30 years
= 8.3%*(30-1)/(90-1) + 10.3%*(90-30)/(90-1)
= 9.65%

Short-term interest rates are more volatile than long-term rates. Despite this, the rates of return of long-term bonds are more volatile than returns on short-term securities. How can these two empirical observations be reconciled?
Answer:
Short term interest rates are more volatile (or change more often) because the FED uses them to control inflation and the money supply. Generally, when the FED engages in either expansionary or contractionary monetary policies, they will use short term interest rates. Even if they change more often, their nominal rates are generally very low, and a small change does the job. So they change more often, but in a very small proportion.
On the other hand, long term securities yield much more volatile returns because they last much longer and any small change in interests rates will result in a larger proportional change of returns in the long run. The longer the bonds, the larger the effect of any change in the market rates.
BR Company has a contribution margin of 8%. Sales are $497,000, net operating income is $39,760, and average operating assets are $135,000. What is the company's return on investment (ROI)?
Answer:
The company's return on investment (ROI) is 29.45%.
Explanation:
Return on investment (ROI) is a profitability ratio that gives investors the opportunity to know the level of efficiency of each amount of dollar invested in a project at producing a profit.
Return on investment (ROI) can be computed using the following formula:
ROI = Net operating income / Average operating assets ............ (1)
Since;
Net operating income = $39,760
Average operating assets = $135,000
We therefore substitute the values into equation (1) and have:
ROI = $39,760 / $135,000 = 0.2945, or 29.45%
Therefore, the company's return on investment (ROI) is 29.45%.

Answer:
1) effective interest rate (for the 9 months period)= (1 + 10%/12)⁹ - 1 = 1.07754 -1 = 0.07754 = 7.75%
2) accrued interest = ($15,545/9) x 2 = $3,454.44 = $3,454
December 31, 2016, accrued interest on non-interest bearing note
Dr Discount on notes receivable 3,454
Cr Interest revenue 3,454
3) July 31, 2017, collection of non-interest bearing note receivable
Dr Cash 216,000
Dr Discount on notes receivable 12,091
Cr Notes receivable 216,000
Cr Interest revenue 12,091
4) November 1, 2016, non-interest bearing note receivable issued [I will assume that the note receivable was made for a sales operation (if it was made for a loan, you can just change sales revenue for cash)]
Dr Notes receivable 216,000
Cr Sales revenue / cash 200,455
Cr Discount on notes receivable 15,545
Explanation:
we have to first calculate the present value of the note using the 10% discount rate:
PV = $216,000 / (1 + 10%/12)⁹ = $216,000 / (1 + 0.8333%)⁹ = $200,454.88 = $200,455
