Answer:
A vertical analysis income statement uses Sales as a base and makes everything else a percentage of sales.
Vertical Analysis Statement
Amount Percentage
Sales $1,500,000 100%
Cost of Goods sold ($900,000) 60%
Gross Profit $600,000 40%
Cost of Goods sold percentage = 900,000 / 1,500,000
= 60%
Gross Profit percentage = 600,000 / 1,500,000
= 40%
If IBM has a beta of 1.2 when the risk-free rate is 6% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 18%, the expected return on IBM is:
Answer:
20.4%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the expected return on IBM is:
Using this formula
E(Ribm)=Risk-free rate+(Market portfolio -Risk-free rate) Beta
Let plug in the formula
E(Ribm) = 6% +(18%-6%)1.2
E(Ribm)=6%+12%(1.2)
E(Ribm)=6%+14.4%
E(Ribm)=20.4%
Therefore the expected return on IBM is:20.4%

Please write out, step-by-step, how you obtained the correct answer for this math problem.
Jose and Zola want to purchase their first home. Jose makes $23.50 an hour and works 40 hours per week. Zola makes $21.50 an hour and works 40 hours of regular time and 5 hours of overtime a week. They have two car payments totaling $500 a month and one credit card with a minimum payment of $50 a month. What is their combined gross monthly income?
(HINT: Remember to assume that overtime is always time and a half unless otherwise specified!!)
Answer:
The correct answer is "$7,630".
Explanation:
Assuming there are four weeks in a month, then
Joe's income will be:
= [tex]23.50\times 40\times 4[/tex]
= [tex]3,760[/tex] ($)
Zola's income will be:
= [tex]21.50\times (40+5)\times 4[/tex]
= [tex]21.50\times 45\times 4[/tex]
= [tex]3,870[/tex] ($)
hence,
The combined gross monthly income will be:
= [tex]Jose's \ income+Zola's \ income[/tex]
= [tex]3,760+3,870[/tex]
= [tex]7,630[/tex] ($)
Answer:
$8,498.75
Explanation:
Jose = ($23.5x40x52)/12=$4073.33
Zola = ($21.5x40x52/12)+($21.5x1.5(overtime pay)x5x52)/12= $3726.67+$698.75=$4425.41
Combined = $4073.33+ $4425.42= $8498.75
A local electricity-generating company has a monopoly that is protected by an entry barrier that takes the form of A) control of a key raw material.
Answer:
economies of scale
Explanation:
Here are the options
control of a key raw material
a perfectly inelastic demand curve
legal monopoly
economies of scale
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company
A natural monopoly occurs due to the high start-up costs or a large economies of scale.
Natural monopolies are usually the only company providing a service in a particular region
Characteristics of natural monopolies
1. they have a large fixed cost
2. The firms have a low marginal cost
3. They occur naturally through the free market. It does not occur by government regulation or any other force
For local electricity-generating companies, as output increases, cost per unit falls. This is known as economies of scale
Cyclical unemployment arises when:______.

b. labor unions strike for higher wages.
c. the business cycle enters an expansionary phase.
d. business activity in the macroeconomy declines.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
types of unemployment
structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition. Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.
The geologist lost his hob permanently due to increase in wages (polices)
Frictional unemployment: the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
Voluntary unemployment: e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.
Cyclical unemployment: it occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy. Unemployment would be high in a downturn and low in a boom

June 5,260 720
Determine the variable cost components using the high-low method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places e.g. 2.25.)
Variable cost per machine hour $
Determine the fixed cost components using the high-low method.
Total fixed costs $
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Maintenance Costs Machine Hours
January $2,860 320
February 3,160 370
March 3,760 520
April 4,660 670
May 3,360 520
June 5,260 720
To calculate the variable and fixed costs, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (5,260 - 2,860) / (720 - 320)
Variable cost per unit= $6
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 5,260 - (6*720)
Fixed costs= $940
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,860 - (6*320)
Fixed costs= $940

Which one of the following affects cash during a period?
a. Recording depreciation expense
b. Declaration of a cash dividend
c. Write-off of an uncollectible account receivable
d. Payment of an accounts payable
Answer: d. Payment of an accounts payable
Explanation:
The payment of an accounts payable affects cash because it means that cash was used to pay off the payable in question and therefore the cash that the company holds has now reduced.
In the Statement of Cashflows, this is accounted for under the Operating Activities of the business. A decrease in accounts payable is subtracted from the net income to show that cash has reduced.

A firm is considering a project requiring an investment of $30,000. The project would generate an annual cash flow of $7,251 for the next six years. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation with no mid-year convention. Ignore income taxes. The approximate internal rate of return for the project is: __________
a.11%.
b.10%.
c.12%.
d.9%.
Answer:
c.12%
Explanation:
PVF of 12% for 6 years is 4.11
PVFof 11% for 6 years is 4.23
Present value of cash inflows, 12% = 7251*4.11
Present value of cash inflows, 12% = 29801.61
Present value of cash inflows, 11% = 7251*4.23
Present value of cash inflows, 11% = 30671.73
Internal rate of return = 11% + (30671.73 - 30000)/(30671.73-29801.61)
Internal rate of return = 11.7719969659%
Internal rate of return = 11.772%
Reliability is how long an item or system will perform its function before it breaks. Good reliability will ______________________. Decrease logistics support requirements Increase life cycle sustainment costs Decrease system readiness Increase manpower waste
Answer:
Decrease logistics support requirements.

If a company sells its smart phones for $400 and the phones have a COGS of $250, how many additional phones would the company have to sell if it decided to spend an extra $150,000 on advertising to promote the phones
Answer:
Units to be sold= 1,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $400
COGS= $250
Increase in costs= $150,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold to cover the incremental costs, we need to use the following formula:
Units to be sold= increase in costs/ contribution margin per unit
Units to be sold= 150,000 / (400 - 250)
Units to be sold= 1,000

Prepare the journal entry to allocate (close) overapplied or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold. Valle Home Builders Determine whether overhead is overapplied or underapplied. Prepare the journal entry to allocate (close) overapplied or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. Actual costs = $11,800(indirect material + $55,600(indirect labor) + $16,000(other overhead costs) = $83,400(actual cost)
$91,400(overhead applied) - $83,400(actual cost) = Overhead applied is greater than the actual cost which means that overhead was over applied by $8,000
2. Debit: Manufacturing overhead $8,000
______ Credit: Cost of goods sold $8,000
3. Actual costs = $6,700(indirect material) + $45,900(indirect labor) + $49,900(other overhead costs) = $102,500
$96,700(overhead applied) - $102,000(actual costs) = Overhead applied is less than the actual costs which means that overhead was under applied by $5,800
4. Debit : Cost of goods sold $5,800
_______ Credit: Manufacturing overhead $5,800
Two athletes of equal ability are competing for a prize of $10,000. Each is deciding whether to take a dangerous performance-enhancing drug. If one athlete takes the drug, and the other does not, the one who takes the drug wins the prize. If both or neither take the drug, they tie and split the prize. Taking the drug imposes health risks that are equivalent to a loss of X dollars
Required:
a. Draw a $2 payoff matrix describing the decisions the athletes face.
b. For what X is taking the drug the Nash equilibrium?
c. Does making the drug safer (that is, lowering X) make the athletes better or worse off? Explain.
Answer:
a) attached below.
b) for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium
c) will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
Explanation:
a) 2 * 2 payoff matrix describing the decision faced by the athletes
attached below
when both players take the drug the payoff for each player = $5000 - x
when neither player takes the drug the payoff for each player = $5000
When only one player takes the drug his payoff = $10000 - x
b) If we consider the value of $x to be involved in the Nash equilibrium then
; $5000 - $x > 0 becomes the best response
hence for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium
c) Lowering the negative effect of the drug ( i.e. when the value of x is reduced )
will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase

A 22-year old college student has been promised a $1 million check at this 50thbirthday (28years from today). What is the present value of the $1 million today assuming an interest rate of 5%
Answer:
$255,093.64
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the present value of $1 million today
Using Financial calculator
PV = PV (rate, nper, pmt, fv, type)
Where,
FV = $1,000,000
Annual Interest rate = 5%
Number of periods = 28
Let plug in the formula
PV = PV (5%, 28, 0, -1000000, 0)
PV= $255093.64
Therefore the Present value of $1 million today is $255,093.64
