The nominal interest rate in the U.S. is 5% and the nominal interest rate in Canada is 3%. The spot value of the U.S. dollar is 1 ($/Canadian dollar) and the forward rate is 1.2 ($/Canadian dollar). Which of the following is not true?A. The interest parity condition does not hold.
B. The dollar is likely to appreciate in spot markets.
C. Money will flow into the Canada.
D. The dollar is trading at a forward discount.
Answer: B. The dollar is likely to appreciate in spot markets.
Explanation:
First find the forward rate using the forward rate formula:
Forward rate = Spot rate * (1 + Interest rate of Canada) / (1 + Interest rate of US)
= 1 * ( 1 + 3%) / (1 + 5%)
= 0.980952
= 0.98
The forward rate according to the formula is less than the forward rate that is trading.
This means that the U.S. dollar is trading at a forward discount and when this happens, the dollar will not appreciate in the spot markets because it is scheduled to be discounted in the forward market.
Western Electric has 34,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $83 and a rate of return of 12.80 percent. The firm has 7,500 shares of 8.20 percent preferred stock outstanding at a price of $97.00 per share. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. The outstanding debt has a total face value of $416,000 and currently sells for 113 percent of face. The yield to maturity on the debt is 8.20 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 40 percent
Answer:
11.03 %
Explanation:
Cost of Capital = Cost of equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt.
where,
Cost of equity = 12.80 %
Cost of Preferred Stock = 8.20 %
Cost of Debt = 8.20 x (1 - 0.40) = 4.92 %
also,
Total Market Value = 34,000 x $83 + 7,500 x $97.00 + $416,000 x 113%
= $2,822,000 + $727,500 + $470,080
= $4,019,580
Weight of Equity = $2,822,000 ÷ $4,019,580 = 0.70
Weight of Preferred Stock = $727,500 ÷ $4,019,580 = 0.18
Weight of Debt = $470,080 ÷ $4,019,580 = 0.12
therefore,
Cost of Capital = 12.80 % x 0.70 + 8.20 % x 0.18 + 4.92 % x 0.12
= 11.03 %

Economic goals for sustainable development can be formulated ________. Group of answer choices by disentangling them from social goals only if we include environmental and social goals in the planning only if there is a complete overlap with social and environmental goals on their own terms without reference to environmental goals only if we exclude environmental goals
Answer:
only if we include environmental and social goals in the planning.
Explanation:
An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.
Hence, a region's or country's economy is largely dependent on how resources are being allocated and utilized, how many goods and services are to be produced, what should be produced, for whom they are to be produced for and how much money are to be spent by the consumers to acquire these goods and services.
Sustainable development can be defined as an idea or development model that is typically aimed at providing basic human needs such as food, fiber, textiles, etc., without compromising or jeopardizing the ability of future generations to create agricultural solutions to their own basic needs.
Generally, economic goals for sustainable development and growth of a country can be formulated only if environmental and social goals are included in the planning.
Sage Company is operating at 90% of capacity and is currently purchasing a part used in its manufacturing operations for $13.00 per unit. The unit cost for the business to make the part is $22.00, including fixed costs and $11.00, excluding fixed costs. If 32,354 units of the part are normally purchased during the year but could be manufactured using unused capacity, what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it
Answer:
$64,708 cost decrease
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it
First step
Purchase cost =$13
Manufacturing cost = $11 (variable)
Profit in manufacturing =$13-$11
Profit in manufacturing=$2
Now let determine the amount of differential cost increase or decrease
Cost decrease by =$2*32,354
Cost decrease by $64,708
Therefore the amount of differential cost DECREASE from making the part rather than purchasing it is $64,708
Pasadena Candle Inc. projected sales of 800,000 candles for January. The estimated January 1 inventory is 35,000 units, and the desired January 31 inventory is 20,000 units. What is the budgeted production (in units) for January?
Answer:
785,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the budgeted production (in units) for January
BUDGETED PRODUCTION (in units) FOR JANUARY
Expected units to be sold 800000
Add Desired ending inventory, Dec 31 20000
Total units available 820000
(800,000+20,000)
Less Estimated beginning inventory, Jan 1 (35000)
Total units to be produced 785000
(820,000-35,000)
Therefore the budgeted production (in units) for January is 785,000

Sunland Company took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $200,000 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $24,840 of goods purchased from Pelzer Corporation, f.o.b. shipping point, and $21,960 of goods sold to Alvarez Company for $30,630, f.o.b. destination. Both the Pelzer purchase and the Alvarez sale were in transit at year-end. What amount should Sunland report as its December 31 inventory
Answer:
$246,800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What amount should Sunland report as its December 31 inventory
Using this formula
Ending inventory = Inventory count as per physical count + Inventory in transit FOB Shipping point (Purchases) + Inventory in transit FOB destination (Sales)
Let plug in the formula
Ending inventory= $200,000 + $24,840+ $21,960
Ending inventory= $246,800
Therefore What amount should Sunland report as its December 31 inventory is $246,800
A farmer who owns the means to produce wealth (farm equipment, land, cattle, etc.) and employs individuals to work on the farm but has also experienced the hardship that comes with farming can be said to be experiencing a ____________ (three word term).
Answer:
Sustainable agriculture farming.
Explanation:
In Agriculture, there are various farming techniques adopted by farmers for the growth and development of their crops. An effective and efficient agricultural technique would have a significant impact on the level of productivity attained by the farmers and as such meeting the unending requirements or needs (demands) of the consumers.
Basically, there are various agricultural techniques used in farming and these includes;
I. Mixed farming.
II. Arable farming.
III. Pastoral farming.
IV. Bush fallowing.
V. Shifting cultivation.
VI. Nomadic herding.
VII. Subsistence farming.
Sustainable agriculture farming can be defined as a farming model that is typically aimed at providing basic human needs such as food, fiber, textiles, etc., without compromising or jeopardizing the ability of future generations to create agricultural solutions to their own basic needs.
This ultimately implies that, when the production of textiles, fiber and food to meet the present human needs deplete the natural base, there is a direct decrease in the ability of future generations to produce to meet their own basic needs regardless of having the means to produce wealth such as farm equipment, land, cattle, labor, etc.

The new office supply discounter, Paper Clips, Etc. (PCE), sells a certain type of ergonomically correct office chair. The annual holding cost per unit is $25, annual demand is 180,000 chairs, and the ordering cost is $150 per order. The lead time is 5 days. Because demand is variable (standard deviation of daily demand is 30 chairs), PCE has decided to establish a customer service level of 96%. The store is open 300 days per year.
Required:
a. What is the optimal order quantity?
b. What is the safety stock?
c. What is the reorder point?
d. What is the optimal annual total inventory cost?
Solution :
Given data:
Annual demand, D = 180,000 chairs
Ordering cost, F = $ 150 per order
Annual holding cost per unit, C = $25
Lead time of order, L = 5 days
Standard deviation of order during lead time = 30
a). The optimal order quantity
[tex]$=\sqrt{\frac{2FD}{C}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 150 \times 180,000 }{25}}$[/tex]
= 1469.69
= 1470 (rounding off)
b). The Z value of the customer service of 90%,
i.e., the probability of 0.90 as per normal distribution table = 1.29
∴ Safety stock = Z value x standard deviation of order during lead time
= 1.29 x 30
= 38.7
= 39 (rounding off)
c). The reorder point
[tex]= \text{Average demand per day} x \text{Demand lead time (day) + Safety stock}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{\text{annual demand}}{\text{300 days}} \times \text{ Demand Lead time (days) + Safety stock}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{180,000}{300} \times 5 + 39$[/tex]
= 3039
d). The optimal annual total inventory cost
[tex]$\text{= Annual ordering cost + Annual Inventory carrying cost}$[/tex]
[tex]$\text{= Number of orders} \times \text{Ordering cost + Average inventory} \times }$[/tex] [tex]$\text{Inventory holding cost per unit per year}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{\text{annual demand}}{\text{optimum order quantity}} \times \text{ordering cost+}\frac{\text{optimum ordering cost}}{2}\times C$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{180,000}{1470} \times 150 + \frac{1470}{2} \times 25$[/tex]
= 18367.34 + 18375
= $ 36,742.34
A company intends to refinance a portion of its short-term debt in Year 2 and is negotiating a long-term financing agreement with a local bank. This agreement would be noncancelable and would extend for a period of 2 years. The amount of short-term debt that the company can exclude from its statement of financial position at December 31, Year 1.
a. May exceed the amount available for refinancing under the agreement.
b. Depends on the demonstrated ability to consummate the refinancing.
c. Must be adjusted by the difference between the present value and the market value of the current debt.
d. Is zero unless the refinancing has occurred by year end.
Answer:
Refinancing Short-term Debt
The amount of short-term debt that the company can exclude from its statement of financial position at December 31, Year 1:
b. Depends on the demonstrated ability to consummate the refinancing.
Explanation:
Demonstrating the ability to consummate the refinancing agreement of short-term obligations to long-term obligations enables the borrowing entity to exclude the obligations from its current liabilities and to classify the obligations as noncurrent. This ability is demonstrated when an entity issues post-balance-sheet-date long-term obligation or equity securities or enters into a financing agreement that meets some criteria. These criteria are that the agreement lasts more than 1 year, is noncancelable by the lender, no agreement violation exists at the balance sheet date, and the lender does not default on the agreement.
Consider a telephone call to London that currently would cost $5. If the real price of telephone calls does not change in the future, how much will it cost you to make a call to London in 50 years if the inflation rate is 5% (roughly its average over the past 30 years)? What if inflation is 10%.
Answer:
If inflation were 5%, the value of the call in 50 years would be $ 57.33; while if inflation were 10% the value of the call would be $ 586.95.
Explanation:
Given that a telephone call to London that currently would cost $ 5, to determine, if the real price of telephone calls does not change in the future, how much will it cost you to make a call to London in 50 years if the inflation rate is 5% and if inflation is 10%, the following calculations must be made:
5 x 1.05 ^ 50 = X
5 x 11.4674 = X
57.33 = X
5 x 1.1 ^ 50 = X
5 x 117.39 = X
586.95 = X
Therefore, if inflation were 5%, the value of the call in 50 years would be $ 57.33; while if inflation were 10% the value of the call would be $ 586.95.

Patty’s Pies has sells 900 pies in August for $20.00 each. At the end of August Patty advertises her pies in the local Valupak which will mail to 25,000 local houses. Statistics show that approximately .5% (one half of one percent) of Valupak recipients result in a sale. Based upon this information, compute the amount of sales Patty would budget for September.
Answer: $20,500
Explanation:
The amount of sales that Patty would budget for September will be calculated thus:
The expected increase in sales unit will be calculated as:
= 0.5% × 25,000
= 125
Therefore, the unit of sale in September will then be:
= 900 pies + 125 pies
= 1025 pies
Then, the total amount of sale will be:
= 1,025 × $20
= $20,500
Decide if the following probability is classical, empirical, or subjective.
You calculate that the probability of randomly choosing a student who is right-handed is about 54%.
Answer:
Classical probability
Explanation:
Classical probability is calculated only when all possible outcomes in the sample space are down and equally likely to occur. It is the probability of known events or events whose resulting probabilities are definitive
For example, students are either left-handed, right-handed or ambidextrous
Subjective probability is a guess on the likelihood an event would occur.
Experimental probability is the probability derived by repeatedly carrying out an experiment and recording the outcomes
Compute straight-line depreciation on the building at the end of one year, assuming an estimated 10-year useful life and a $16,000 estimated residual value. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)What should be the book value of (a) the land and (b) the building at the end of year 2
Answer:
Missing word "Bridge City Consulting bought a building and the land on which it is located for $120,000 cash. The land is estimated to represent 70 percent of the purchase price. The company paid $10,000 for building renovations before it was ready for use."
Total Cost of Land and Building (100%) = $120,000
Cost of Land (70%) = $84,000
Cost of Building (30%) = $36,000
Cost of Building Renovations = $10,000
Total Cost of Building = $36,000 + $10,000
Total Cost of Building = $46,000
1. Annual Depreciation(Year End Depreciation) = (Cost of Building - Residual Value)/ Number of Year
Annual Depreciation = $46,000 - $16,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $30,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $3,000
2. Book Value of Land at the end of two years = $84,000
Book Value of Building at the end of two years = $46,000 - ($3,000*2 year) = $46,000 - $6,000 = $40,000
Hence, Book Value of Land and Building at the end of two year is = $84,000 + $40,000 = $124,000

a. 54
b. 810 dollars
c. 390 dollars
d. 75 pictures
e. 561.6 dollars and 562.5 dollars
f. 38 pictures
Explanation:
demand per week = 18 pictures
annually this demand = 18 *52 = 936
charge per unit = 60 dollars
order for 6 weeks = 6*18 = 108 quantities
cost of ordering = 45 dollars
cost of holding annually = 15 dollars
a. current average inventory
= (18*6)/2
= 54 pictures
b. current annual holding cost
(108/2)*15
= 810 dollars
c. current annual holding cost
= 936/108 * 45

Botosan Factory has budgeted factory overhead for the year at $717,474, and budgeted direct labor hours for the year are 364,200. If the actual direct labor hours for the month of May are 331,400, the overhead allocated for May is
Answer:
$652,858
Explanation:
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity
= $717,474 ÷ 364,200
= $1.97 per direct labor hour
Allocated overheads = Predetermined overhead rate x Actual Activity
= $1.97 x 331,400 direct labor hours
= $652,858
therefore,
The overhead allocated for May is $652,858.
BBB Leasing purchased a machine for $280,000 and leased it to Jack Tupp Auto Repair on January 1, 2021. Lease description: Quarterly rental payments $16,427 at beginning of each period Lease term 5 years (20 quarters) No residual value; no BPO Economic life of machine 5 years Implicit interest rate 7% Fair value of asset $280,000 What is the balance in the lease payable account after the April 1, 2021, lease payment
Answer: $251758.53
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question,
Total lease liability = $280,000
Then, the balance in the lease payable account when the first lease payment takes place on January 1, 2021 will be:
= $280,000 - $16,427
= $263573
The, the interest that is included in the lease payment that's made on April 1, 2021 Will be:
= $263573 x 7% x 1/4
= $4612.53
Then, the principal amount that's included in the lease payment made on April 1, 2021 will be:
= $16,427 - $4612.53
= $11814.47
Therefore, the balance in the lease payable account after the April 1, 2021, lease payment will be:
= $263573 - $11814.47
= $251758.53
Case :
"Dear Mr. President—Please Cancel our Project!": The Honolulu Elevated Rail Project
This case is a great current example of a very expensive project that was kicked off because of an assumed need—to relieve congestion in downtown Honolulu through an elevated urban rail system. Critics argue that in addition to having a ballooning cost, the actual planning was poorly conceived, leaving Honolulu with an intrusive and ugly rail system through the downtown area, ruining panoramic views, and impeding traffic. Additionally, advocates underestimated the power needs for the rail system, requiring the transport authority to renegotiate electricity fees for the system. Finally, the original costs that were assumed for the project were calculated during an economic downturn and with the economy booming again, the costs of the project have gone up dramatically. All of these elements points to a state Governor who is anxious to be rid of the project and hoping that President Trump will deny additional federal funding, in which case the project will likely be cancelled.
Required:
a. Why are public works projects like the Honolulu Rail project nearly impossible to stop once they have been approved, even if later cost estimates skyrocket?
b. Project Management researchers have charged that many large infrastructure projects, like this one, suffer from "delusion" and "deception" on the parts of their advocates. Explain how "delusion" might be a cause of ballooning budgets in this project. How does "deception" affect the final project budget overruns?
Answer:
a.The project has been approved and it has been proved necessary.
b. They often choose the cheapest budget and do not forecast any problems in to make the project more viable.
Explanation:
a.There's an extensive process to approve a project like this, since it has so many filters before being approved, canceling it would be saying these filters failed. These filters exist to prove that these projects are necessary and if they're necessary they need to be done, no matter the cost.
b. THe people in charge of setting these projects going often choose the cheapest options to make the projects viable, when doing so the cost will eventually rise and, when the government has already approved it they will continue to spend money on the project.
Snack food vendors and beer distributors earn some monopoly profits in their local markets but see them slowly erode from various new substitutes. When California voted on legalizing marijuana, which side would you think that California beer distributors were on
Answer: Opposing side
Explanation:
Substitutes to the products offered by monopolies are frowned upon by monopolies because it means that they cannot raise prices whenever they want anymore because people could simply switch to the substitutes.
Substitutes therefore reduce the power of monopolies. Marijuana is a substitute to beer as a recreational product so beer companies would be opposed to it being legalized as it would pose a threat to whatever dominance they have in the recreational sector.
$1,000 par value zero-coupon bonds (ignore liquidity premiums) Bond Years to Maturity Yield to Maturity A 1 6.00% B 2 7.50% C 3 7.99% D 4 8.49% E 5 10.70% One year from now bond C should sell for ________ (to the nearest dollar).
Answer:
$842
Explanation:
The computation of the One year from now bond C should sell is shown below;
But before that we have to determined the expected yield to maturity for bond C in one year :
So,
1.0799^3 = 1.06 x (1 + r)^2
1.188 = (1 + r)^2
√1.188 = √(1 + r)^2
1.08999 = 1 + r
r = 0.08999
= 9%
Now
the yield to maturity = (future value ÷ present value)^0.5 - 1
0.09 + 1 = ($1,000 ÷ value in 1 year)^0.5
1.09 = ($1,000 ÷ value in 1 year)^0.5
1.09^2 = $1,000 ÷ value in 1 year
So,
value in 1 year is
= $1,000 ÷ 1.09^2
= $1,000 ÷ 1.1881
= $841.68
≈ $842
