You are planning to put $3,500 in the bank at the end of each year for the next four years in hopes that you will have enough money for a down payment on a condo. If you are investing at an annual interest rate of 5%, you'll have accumulated ___________ at the end of four years.
You decided to deposit your money in the bank at the beginning of the year instead of the end of the same year, but now you are making payments of $2,500 at an annual interest rate of 6%. How much money will you have available at the end of seven years?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual deposit (A)= $3,500
Number of periods (n)= 4 years
Interest rate (i)= 5%
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {3,500*[(1.05^4) - 1]} / 0.05
FV= $15,085.44
Now, the deposit is at the beginning:
Annual deposit (A)= $2,500
Number of periods (n)= 7 years
Interest rate (i)= 6%
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}
FV= {2,500*[(1.06^7) - 1]} / 0.06 + {[2,500*(1.06)^7] - 2,500}
FV= 20,984.59 + 1,259.08
FV= $22,243.67
On January 1, 20X1, Jennifer purchases common stock of Gamma Corporation for $100,000. During the year, Gamma Corporation stock pays a dividend of $3,000. At the end of the year, Jennifer sells the Gamma stock for $104,000. What is the return on investment of the Gamma stock?
a) 79
b) 10%
c) 4%
d) 39
Answer:
Jennifer
The return on investment of the Gamma stock is:
a) 7%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 1, 20X1 Purchase of common stock of Gamma Corporation = $100,000
Dividend received from Gamma Corporation stock = $3,000
December 31, 20X1, Sale of Gamma Corporation stock = $104,000
Capital gains from the sale of Gamma stock = $4,000 ($104,000 - $100,000)
Total returns from the Gamma stock = Dividend Plus Capital Gains
= $7,000 ($3,000 + $4,000)
Return on investment of the Gamma stock = 7% ($7,000/$100,000 * 100)

If a make-to-stock manufacturing firm with highly seasonal demand follows a level production strategy, which of the following is likely to be true?
A) Inventory will fluctuate significantly during the year.
B) The production rate must be set equal to the demand in the heaviest demand period, and stay at that level all year.
C) It will be difficult to keep the workforce size stable.
D) The firm must make sure that its maximum capacity is at least as high as the heaviest demand period.
Answer: Inventory will fluctuate significantly during the year
Explanation:
If a make-to-stock manufacturing firm with highly seasonal demand follows a level production strategy, then the inventory will fluctuate significantly during the year.
When using a level production strategy, it should be noted that there will be an increase in the inventory during when there are low demand while there'll be a reduction in the inventory during the periods of high demand.
Waterways is thinking of mass-producing one of its special-order sprinklers. To do so would increase variable costs for all sprinklers by an average of $0.70 per unit. The company also estimates that this change could increase the overall number of sprinklers sold by 10%, and the average sales price would increase $0.20 per unit. Waterways currently sells 481,000 sprinkler units at an average selling price of $25.20. The manufacturing costs are $5,811,160 variable and $2,155,660 fixed. Selling and administrative costs are $2,673,680 variable and $798,370 fixed. If Waterways begins mass-producing its special-order sprinklers, how would this affect the company
Answer:
Waterways Corporation
If Waterways begins mass-producing its special-order sprinklers, its net operating income would almost double, increasing by $680,202.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Increase in variable costs per unit = $0.70
Increase in number of sprinklers sold = 10%
Increase in average sales price = $0.20
Current sales = 481,000 sprinkler units
Selling price = $25.20
New selling price = $25.40 ($25.20 + $0.20)
New quantity of sprinkler units = 529,100 (481,000 * 1.1)
Increase in variable cost = $370,370 (529,100 * $0.70)
New variable cost = $6,181,530 ($5,811,160 + $370,370)
Income Statements Normal Mass Production
Sales revenue $12,121,200 $13,439,140
Variable manufacturing costs $5,811,160 $6,181,530
Variable selling and admin. costs 2,673,680 2,941,048
Total variable costs $8,484,840 $9,122,578
Contribution margin $3,636,360 $4,316,562
Fixed costs:
Manufacturing costs $2,155,660 $2,155,660
Selling and administrative costs 798,370 798,370
Total fixed costs $2,954,030 $2,954,030
Net operating income $682,330 $1,362,532
Increase in net operating income = $680,202 ($1,362,532 - $682,330)
A company uses return on investment (ROI) to measure the performance of its business units. The company manufactures and distributes consumer goods. Last year, management identified a possible shortage of raw materials. To mitigate this risk, a large amount of raw material was bought in advance and stored in the manufacturing plant inventory. As a result of this decision, ROI will A. Have an unpredictable change. B. Decrease. C. Increase. D. Not change.
Answer: B. Decrease
Explanation:
Return on investment refers to the ratio between the net income and investment. It should be noted that a high return on investment implies that the investment's gains compare favourably to the cost.
In this scenario, since a large amount of raw material was bought in advance and stored in the manufacturing plant inventory, this will lead to an increase in the cost of production which therefore will reduce the return in investment.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Show the effect of each transaction on the three basic accounting elements by indicating the dollar amount of the increase or decrease under the proper element heading. Compute the resulting accounting equation.
a. Owner invested $16,500 cash in the business.
b. Paid premium for two-year insurance policy, $1,500.
c. Purchased a van valued at $35,000 with $5,000 down payment; the balance to be paid over three years.
d. Paid the rent for the month, $900.
e. Purchased $470 of supplies for cash.
f. Cash sales for the month, $8,750.
g. Billed credit customers $14,200 for monthly services.
Answer:
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity = $67,800
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the Effect of Each Transaction on the Three Basic Accounting Elements.
From attached excel file, the resulting accounting equation can be computed as follows
Assets = Total Cash + Total Insurance Prepaid + Total Van + Total Supplies + Total Accounts Receivable = $17,380 + $750 + $35,000 + $470 + $14,200 = $67,800
Liabilities = Total Accounts Payable = $30,000
Owner’s Equity = Total Capital + Total Retained earnings = $16,500 + $21,300 = $37,800
Liabilities + Owner’s Equity = $30,000 + $37,800 = $67,800
Therefore, we have:
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity = $67,800

Answer:
e. $27,261.50
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is Marko willing to pay today to buy ABC Co.
Present value (PV) = $6,600 / (1 + 0.13) + $11,600 / (1 + 0.13)^2 + $17,800 / (1 + 0.13)^3
Present value (PV) = $6,600 / (1 .13) + $11,600 / (1.13)^2 + $17,800 / (1 .13)^3
Present value (PV) =$27,261.50
Therefore the amount that Marko his willing to pay today to buy ABC Co will be $27,261.50

Kevin Morales invests $15,451.93 now for a series of $2,900 annual returns beginning one year from now. Kevin will earn a return of 12% on the initial investment.
Required:
How many annual payments of $1,300 will Kevin receive?
Answer:
9 annual payments
Explanation:
The correct annual payment is $2,900 not $1,300 as shown below:
Kevin Morales invests $15,451.93 now for a series of $2,900 annual returns beginning one year from now. Kevin will earn a return of 12% on the initial investment.
(For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.)
How many annual payments of $2,900 will Kevin receive?
In a bid to determine the number of annual payments of $2,900 that Kevin would receive, we can make use of a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its default end mode before making the below inputs and that the amount invested today is the present value of annual payments
PMT=2900(amount of each annual payment)
I/Y=12(the rate of interest to be earned annually without the "%" sign)
PV=-15451.93 (amount invested, it is negative since it is an outflow)
FV=0(after all annual payments have been received, number of outstanding annual payments would be nil)

Logan owns a horse ranch. Logan dislikes horses, but he opened the ranch because he heard it was a lucrative business and he wanted to make money. Logan’s horse ranch has lost money every year for the past 5 years (including this year), but Logan has made some changes to business operations, including hiring a consultant and increasing his prices. Logan anticipates that as a result of these changes, his horse ranch will generate a profit in the next year or two. This year, Logan hired his brother, Luke, to work at the horse ranch. Logan pays Luke $500/hr to clean the horse stalls. Logan also hired his best friend, Lucy, to do Logan’s grocery shopping and other personal errands. He pays Lucy $15/hr. Which of the following is most accurate?
a. Logan cannot deduct any of the costs associated with the horse ranch because the horse ranch would be classified as a hobby, not a business
b. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Luke because Luke works in Logan’s horse ranch business
c. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because the amount of the expense is reasonable
d. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because grocery shopping is ordinary and necessary
e. None of the above are correct
Answer:
Logan Horse Ranch
The most accurate is:
e. None of the above are correct
Explanation:
Logan's payment to his brother, Luke, of $500 per hour, is not a reasonable business expense that can be deductible. Surely, $500 per hour is not a going rate for cleaning the horse stalls per hour. With Lucy doing grocery shopping for Logan, it does not resonate like an ordinary and necessary expense for the business. Therefore, options A to D are not correct. This leaves only option E as the most accurate.
Jenny Manufactures sold toys listed at $360 per unit to Jack Inc. for $306, a trade discount of 15 percent. Jack Inc. in turn sells the toys in the market at $335. Jenny should record the receivable and related sales revenue (per unit) at: Group of answer choices $360 $335 $306 $285
Answer:
$306
Explanation:
Based on the information given Jenny should record the receivable and related sales revenue (per unit) at $306 reason been that we were told JENNY MANUFACTURES SOLD TOYS THAT WAS LISTED AT THE AMOUNT OF $360 PER UNIT TO JACK INC. FOR THE AMOUNT OF $306.

Consider a firm with a 2018 net income of $20 million, revenue of $60 million, and cost of goods sold of $25 million. If the balance sheet amounts show $2 million of inventory and $500,000 of property, plant, and equipment, how many weeks of supply does the firm hold
Answer: 4.16 weeks
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the number of weeks of supply that the firm hold will be:
= (average inventory/ cost of goods sold) × 52 weeks
= (2/25) × 52
= 4.16 weeks
Therefore, the weeks of supply that the firm hold is 4.16 weeks
On January 1, 2019, Wasson Company purchased a delivery vehicle costing $36,500. The vehicle has an estimated 6-year life and a $3,500 residual value. What is the vehicle's book value as of December 31, 2020, assuming Wasson uses the straight-line depreciation method
Answer:
Book value= $25,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $36,500
Residual value= $3,500
Useful life= 6 years
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (36,500 - 3,500) / 6
Annual depreciation= $5,500
Now, the accumulated depreciation and book value:
Accumulated depreciation= 5,500*2= $11,000
Book value= 36,500 - 11,000
Book value= $25,500

4 $10,000.00 $7,080 0.708
5 $10,000.00 $6,490 0.649
Now
Net present value = -$20,000 + $10,000(PVIFA 9% 5 Years)
= -$20,000 + $10000 × (3.8897)
= -$20,000+ $38,897
= $18,897
So here the investment should be make as the net present value comes in positive

Erin, a shareholder of Finance Inc., demands the right to inspect corporate records to determine whether management has engaged in self-dealing that impacts the company. The firm refuses the request. On Erin’s challenge, a court is most likely to hold that her request constitutes:________
a. harassment.
b. unreasonable access to trade secrets and other confidential information.
c. a proper purpose.
d. potential abuse.
Answer:
c. a proper purpose.
Explanation:
Proper purpose is an action taken by a shareholder or member of a corporation that is reasonable related to his position or rights.
With the proper purpose rule there is a constraint on a director's autonomy within an organisation and it provides checks to excesses by the management team.
Erin demands the right to inspect corporate records to determine whether management has engaged in self-dealing that impacts the company.
As a shareholder she is enforcing proper right and the court will uphold this.
Suppose that a bank has $80 in checkable deposits, reserves of $15 , and a reserve requirement of 10%. Also assume that the the bank suffers a $6 deposit outflow. If the bank chooses to borrow from the Fed to meet its reserve requirement, then the bank would need to borrow $nothing . (Round your response to the nearest two decimal place.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the amount of borrowing that's required will be:
= [ rr * ( D - O)] - (R-O)
where,
rr = reserve requirement = 10% = 0.1
D = checkable deposits = $80
R = reserves = $15
O = deposits outflow = $6
= [ 0.10 × ($80 - $6)] - ($15 - $6)
= [ 0.10 × $74 ] - $9
= $7.4 - $9
= -$1.60

per unit.
a. Break-even point in sales units
units
b. Break-even point if the selling price were increased to $64 per unit
units
Answer:
The right answer is:
(a) 5916 units
(b) 5046 units
Explanation:
Given:
Sales,
= $59
Variable cost,
= $30
Fixed cost,
= $171,564
Increased sale,
= $64
Now,
(a)
Contribution margin will be:
= [tex]Sales - Variable \ cost[/tex]
= [tex]59-30[/tex]
= [tex]29 \ per \ unit[/tex] ($)
hence,
Breakeven will be:
= [tex]\frac{Fixed \ cost}{Contribution \ margin}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{171564}{29}[/tex]
= [tex]5916 \ units[/tex]
(b)
Contribution margin will be:
= [tex]Sales-Variable \ cost[/tex]
= [tex]64-30[/tex]
= [tex]34 \ per \ unit[/tex] ($)
hence,
Breakeven will be:
= [tex]\frac{Fixed \ cost}{Contribution \ margin}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{171564}{34}[/tex]
= [tex]5046 \ units[/tex]

A rules-based monetary policy :_______.a. is advocated by activists. b. is advocated by nonactivists. c. could involve a predetermined steady growth rate in the money supply. d. b and c e. all of the above
Answer:
d. b and c
Explanation:
Monetary policy can be defined as the actions (macroeconomic policies) adopted and undertaken by the central bank of a particular country (Federal Reserve System in the United States of America) to control the money supply and interest rates so as to boost or enhance economic growth.
Basically, monetary policies are used by the central bank to manage inflation, economic growth through long-term interest rates and level of unemployment in a country. In order to boost economic growth, the national government through its central bank introduces monetary policy to increase money supply (liquidity). Also, a monetary policy can be used to prevent inflation through the reduction of money supply at a given period of time.
A rules-based monetary policy is advocated by non-activists and when it's adopted by the central bank of a country, it could involve a predetermined steady growth rate in the money supply because it's implemented based on specific indicator events existing in the economy.
