Answer: $35.3 trillion
Explanation:
NAFTA Spending power = $7.5 trillion
The spending power of the European Union will be denoted by E while the combined spending power will be denoted by E + N.
N = 17.5% of (E + N)
N = 17.5 / 100 (E + N)
100N = 17.5E + 17.5N
100N - 17.5N = 17 5E
82.5N = 17.5E
E = 4.7N
E = 4.7(7.5)
E = $35.3 trillion

Country Club Center sells season memberships for $100 each. Prior to May 1, 2017, 60 season memberships were sold. The season runs for 4 months starting May 1, 2017. What is the amount of revenue that should be reported on the income statement for the month ended May 31, 2017
Answer:
$1,500
Explanation:
Since the season lasts 4 months, the membership fees must be recognized over the whole 4 month period, that means that the club must recognize $100 / 4 = $25 per month per membership sold.
The company sold 60 season memberships, so it must recognize 60 x $25 = $1,500 in revenues.
Ralph gives his daughter, Angela, stock (basis of $8,000; fair market value of $6,000). If Angela subsequently sells the stock for $10,000, what is her recognized gain or loss
Answer: $2000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Ralph gives his daughter, Angela, stock (basis of $8,000; fair market value of $6,000) and that Angela subsequently sells the stock for $10,000.
The realized gain or loss will be calculated as:
Sale value of stock = $10,000
Basis of stock = $8000
Realized gain will then be:
= $10,000 - $8,000
= $2000
target debt-equity ratio of .40. Its cost of equity is 11.8 percent and its cost of debt is 6.5 percent. If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
9.90%
Explanation:
Debt-equity=debt/equity=0.40( debt=0.40 while equity is 1 since 0.40/1=0.40)
weight of debt=0.40/(0.40+1)=28.57%
weight of equity=1/(0.40+1)=71.43%
cost of equity=11.80%
cost of debt=6.50%
tax rate=21%
WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)
WACC=(71.43% *11.80%)+(28.57%*6.50%)*(1-21%)
WACC=9.90%

Answer:
a) average total cost
Explanation:
In the case when the subsidies are avoided and the government wants to cap the price for the natural monopoly so it should be at average total cost. Because the government have to compensate the loss in the case when the government force the monopolies to generate at that time when the marginal cost is equal to Price so at this case the government should keep the proces at an average total cost equal to price so no loss and no subsidy is there

Emma is the team lead at a data analytics firm. She believes in encouraging her team members to fulfill their job responsibilities by rewarding them when they achieve their goals and punishing them when they don’t. Based on her leadership style, her team consistently meets company expectations. Based on the scenario, is Emma exhibiting transformational leadership? If you think she is, explain why by including and describing two specific types of transformational behavior based on the scenario. If not, explain how she can exhibit transformational leadership by including and describing two specific types of transformational behavior.
Answer:
Emma is not exhibiting transformational leadership style
Explanation:
As per the scenario mentioned in the question, it is noted that Emma is not exhibiting transformational leadership style instead this is an example of transactional leadership style.
In order to exhibit transformational leadership, Emma will need to motivate and encourage her employees to accomplish and adapt to change that help grow and achieve future success of the organisation. This can be done by setting an example at her level through developing a strong sense of corporate culture, independence and employee ownership in the workplace.
Another behaviour she could exhibit is by avoiding micromanagement. Instead she should train her employees to make decision on their own and take responsibility of their work. This way employees will have space to think creatively and will work to find solutions to the problems faced by them in their workplace.
Asset A has an expected return of 15% and a reward-to-variability ratio of 0.4. Asset B has an expected return of 20% and a reward-to-variability ratio of 0.3. A risk-averse investor would prefer a portfolio using the risk-free asset and ______.
Answer: Asset A
Explanation:
The risk-averse investor will prefer the asset that has a lesser standard deviation because it indicates less risk.
Reward-to-variability ratio = Expected return/ standard deviation
Standard deviation = Expected return / reward-to-variability ratio
Asset A deviation = 0.15/0.4 = 0. 375
Asset B deviation = 0.2/0.3 = 0.667
Risk Averse investor will pick Asset A with the lesser deviation.
On January 1, 2020, Mirada, Inc. issued five year bonds with a face value of $100,000 and an annual stated rate of 8%. Interest payments are made annually on December 31st. The bonds were issued for $108,425, when the market rate of interest was 6%. What is Mirada's book value of bonds payable, after the first interest payment (i.e., the balance on December 31, 2020)
Answer:
Book Value of bond = $106,931
Explanation:
Given:
Face value of bond = $100,000
Issue price = $108,425
Computation:
Interest payment = $100,000 x 8%
Interest payment = $8,000
Interest expense = $108,425 x 6%
Interest expense = $6,505.50
Amortization of premium = $8,000 - $6,505.50
Amortization of premium = $1,494.50
Book Value of bond = $108,425 - $1,494.50
Book Value of bond = $106,931

Ignoring income taxes, by how much should Sheridan's retained earnings be retroactively adjusted at January 1, 2022
Answer:
$241,500 (Understated)
Explanation:
Calculation for how much should Sheridan's retained earnings be retroactively adjusted at January 1, 2022
Retained earnings = $121,000 (Understated) + $200,000 (Understated) - $79,500 (Overstated)
Retained earnings = $241,500 (Understated)
Therefore by how much should Sheridan's retained earnings be retroactively adjusted at January 1, 2022 will be $241,500 (Understated)
The Goodie Barn has a 7% coupon bond outstanding that matures in 13.5 years. The bond pays interest semiannually. What is the market price per bond if the face value is $1,000 and the yield to maturity is 14.78%? Select one: a. $255.27 b. $674.66 c. $954.92 d. $550.40 e. $967.38
Answer:
Bond Price= 550.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cupon= (0.07/2)*1,000= $35
Periods= 27 semesters
Face value= $1,000
YTM= 0.1478/2= 0.0739
To calculate the bond price, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 35*{[1 - (1.0739^-27)] / 0.0739} + [1,000/(1.0739^27)]
Bond Price= 404.52 + 145.88
Bond Price= 550.4

D) $8,276
Explanation:
The question is not complete, hence find below question:
Harry Morgan plans to make 30 quarterly deposits of $200 into a savings account. The first deposit will be made immediately. The savings account pays interest at an annual rate of 8%, compounded quarterly. How much will Harry have accumulated in the savings account at the end of the seven and a half-year period? (Use the appropriate table in the text.)
A) $8,114
B) $24,469
C) $6,000
D) $8,276
Note that this is a case of annuity due whose future value formula is found below:
FV=quarterly payment*(1+r)^n-1/r*(1+r)
FV=future value of quarterly deposits which is unknown
quarterly deposit=$200
r=quarterly interest rate=8%/4=2%
n=number of quarterly deposits in 7.5years=7.5*4=30
FV=200*(1+2%)^30-1/2%*(1+2%)
FV=200*(1.811361584 -1)/2%*(1+2%)
FV=200*0.811361584/2%*1.02=$8,276
Equivalent Units of Materials Cost The Filling Department of Eve Cosmetics Company had 4,200 ounces in beginning work in process inventory (40% complete). During the period, 70,400 ounces were completed. The ending work in process inventory was 3,500 ounces (20% complete). What are the total equivalent units for direct materials if materials are added at the beginning of the process
Answer:
71,100 units
Explanation:
I assume this question is using the Weighted Average Cost Method.
When using the Weighted Average Costs Method, we are interested in the output units. That is where we get the equivalent units.
Calculation of Equivalent Units for direct materials :
Completed and transferred (70,400 × 100%) = 70,400
Ending Work In Process (3,500 × 20%) = 700
Total Equivalent Units for direct materials = 71,100
The expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. The risk-free rate is 6%. The expected return on SDA Corp. common stock is 12%. The beta of SDA Corp. common stock is 1.50. Within the context of the capital asset pricing model, _________.A) SDA Stock is underpricedB) SDA stock is fairly pricedC) SDA Corp. stock's alpha is
Answer: C) SDA Corp. stock's alpha is -4.5%
Explanation:
Calculate the required return using the Capital Asset Pricing Model.
= risk free rate + beta ( market return - risk free rate)
= 6% + 1.5 (13% - 6%)
= 6% + 10.5%
= 16.5%
The expected return on the stock is 12% yet the required return is 16.5%. This means that this stock is overpriced because it is giving a return less than what it should be giving.
The alpha is therefore;
= Expected return - Required return
= 12% - 16.5%
= - 4.5%
On 1/1/01, Sienna Sunset, LLC provided a loan to one of its partners, Dorothy. In six years, Dorothy will have to pay Sienna Sunset $500,000. If Dorothy invests money semiannually in a savings account that pays an annual interest rate of 7.00%, how much will she need to deposit in the account every six months?
Answer:
Semiannual deposit= $34,241.97
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value (FV)= $500,000
Number of periods (n)= 6*2= 12
Interest rate= 0.07/2= 0.035
To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= semiannual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (500,000*0.035) / [(1.035^12) - 1]
A= $34,241.97
The MRP input storing information on the status of each item by time period (e.g., scheduled receipts, lead time, lot size) is the:___________.A) master production schedule.B) bill of materials.C) inventory records.D) assembly time chart.E) net requirements chart.
Answer:
C. inventory-records
Explanation:
Inventory Record System, can be regarded as system that helps to keep a track of physical quantities as well as the monetary valuation inventories that are still available and those that have been sold. With inventory records company can know the record of goods as it gets to warehouse or when it goes down or when sold. It should be noted that inventory record is the MRP input storing information on the status of each item by time period (e.g., scheduled receipts, lead time, lot size).
If all these workers have the same level of skill, why does worker 3 have a LARGER marginal product than worker 2
Answer:
According to the law of diminishing marginal returns, labor productivity will first increase as the total number of workers increase (due to synergy), but at some point, as more units of labor (or other factor) are used, their productivity will start to decrease and each unit added will yield a lower marginal return.
When you look at how teams work, when the first members start to work together, the outcome will be higher than if they worked individually. But if the team keeps growing, and the other factors of production remain the same, e.g. the number of computers remains at 3 but there are 4 team members, then the total output might increase but at a lower proportion (productivity decreased).
Given a 75% experience curve, if unit cost is $32 with cumulative production of 600,000, what will it be when cumulative production doubles to 1.2 million units?A. $24B. $28C. $32D. $64
Answer:
The unit cost will be:
A. $24.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Experience curve = 75%
Unit cost = $32
Cumulative production units = 600,000
New cumulative production units = 1,200,000
The new unit cost will reduce to $24 ($32 * 75%).
b) The experience curve is the explanation for the fall in the unit cost of production resulting from the doubling of the cumulative production units. Each time cumulative volume doubles, the value added costs (including administration, marketing, distribution, and manufacturing) fall by a constant percentage. This is caused by the increased experience which the company has acquired as a result of the improved production activities.
5. If you wanted to show how many employees at your office ride a bicycle to work in comparison to the
number of employees who drive a car, take public transportation, or walk, what visual would be best?
Answer:
a bar graph
Explanation:
A bar graph may be defined as a visual representation of the categorical data or information which is represented by rectangular shape bars with their lengths or height proportional to the values they represent. A bar graph is also known as bar charts.
The rectangular bars can be plotted either vertically or horizontally.
In the context, a bar graph or a bar chart would be the best option to represent the number of employees who ride a bicycle and come to office and compare them to the number of employees who takes a public vehicle, drives a car or even come to office by walking.
Consider the one-factor APT. The standard deviation of returns on a well-diversified portfolio is 18%. The standard deviation on the factor portfolio is 16%. The beta of the well-diversified portfolio is approximately:_________
Consider the single-factor APT. Stocks A and B have expected returns of 15% and 18%, respectively. The risk-free rate of return is 6%. Stock B has a beta of 1.0. If arbitrage opportunities are ruled out, stock A has a beta of:__________
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. For Beta^2
= Standard Deviation of Well Diversified Portfolio^2 ÷ Standard Deviation of factor Portfolio^2
= (18%^2 ÷ 16%^2)^0.5
= 18 ÷ 16
= 1.125 or 1.13
And,
2. Expected Return = Risk free rate + Beta ×Factor
18% = 6% + 1 × F
F = 12%
The Beta of A is
= (15% - 6%) ÷ 12%
= 0.75
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered

What would be the interest earned on a $6,000 deposit during the second year of its life if no money is withdrawn from the bank during that time, and the deposit pays an annual interest rate of 2.5 percent, with annual compounding?
Answer:
The interest earned during the second year of the life of a deposit of $6,000 if no money is withdrawn from the bank during that time is $153.75.
Explanation:
Since it is an annual compounding without any money withdrawn, that mean interest will be paid on both the principal and the first year interest income. Therefore, we have:
First year interest earned = Principal * Annual interest rate = $6,000 * 2.5% = $150
Second year interest earned = (Principal + First year interest earned) * Annual interest rate = ($6,000 + $150) * 2.5% = $6,150 * 2.5% = $153.75
Therefore, the interest earned during the second year of the life of a deposit of $6,000 if no money is withdrawn from the bank during that time is $153.75.

Equity can be calculated as substraction of total liabilities from total assets of the company , it's usefulness bid found in some key financial ratios like ROE.
Whitch economic indicators most strongly suggest that an economy is experiencing the contraction phase of a business cycle. Answer choises shown on image.
Answer: D. Unemployment rates are rising while GDP is falling.
Explanation:
A rising Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and a low unemployment rate are signs that an economy is doing well because it shows that the economy is growing and people have jobs that can give them access to income to spend in the economy.
If Unemployment starts rising therefore and GDP is falling, the economy is not growing but is rather contracting. People increasingly do not have access to income to spend on goods and services and companies are not hiring people because they are unable to sell as much goods and services.

A corporate bond matures on October 31, 2035. Its coupon rate is 5.00% and face value is $100. Its yield is 5.90%. How much is its price on June 3, 2020
Answer:
Its price on June 3, 2020 is $90.70.
Explanation:
The price of the Bond is its Present Value (PV) .
You need to determine first the number of years between June 3, 2020 and October 31, 2035. Draw a timeline to be accurate. There are 16 years and 5 months.
Next, we can calculate the price using time value of money techniques.
N = 16.4
PMT = $100 × 5.00% = $5
P/Yr = 1
FV = $100
IRR = 5.90%
PV = ?
Using a Financial calculator to input the values as above, the price of Bond on June 3, 2020 is $90.70.
Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of debt of 8.2%, and its cost of preferred stock is 9.3%. If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 12.4%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 14.2%, 0.83%, 0.86%, 0.64%, and 0.70%. Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $1,708,000. The firm will raise the $1,708,000 in capital by issuing $750,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 8.7%, $78,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 9.9%, and $880,000 of equity at a cost of 13.2%. The firm faces a tax rate of 40%. what will be the WACC for this project?
Answer:
9.55%
Explanation:
WACC for the project=We*Ke+Wp*Kp+Wd*Kd*(1-tax rate)
We=weight of equity=equity value/total cost of the project=$880,000/$1,708,000=51.52%
Wp=weight of preferred stock=preferred stock value/total cost of the project=$78,000/$1,708,000=4.57%
Wd=weight of debt=value of debt/total cost of the project=$750,000/$1,708,000=43.91%
Ke=cost of equity=13.2%
Kp=cost of preferred stock=9.9%
Kd=cost of debt=8.7%
tax rate=40%
WACC for the project=(51.52% *13.2%)+(4.57% *9.9%)+(43.91% *8.7%)*(1-40%)=9.55%
