Answer:
EXPORT
Explanation:
If the domestic price of a country for a good is lower than world price before trade, it mean that the country is producing that good efficiently - at a cheaper cost. After trade, the country would export the good, so that the world can produce more of the goods it produces efficiently.
If the world price is below domestic price of a country before trade, after trade, the country would import

This morning, you put a European protective put strategy in place when the cost of ABC stock was $29.15 per share and the 1-year $30 ABC put was priced at $1.05 per share. How much profit or loss per share will you earn from this strategy if the stock is worth $28 a share on the put expiration date? A) −$2.2 B) −$1.05 C) −$.20 D) $1.15 E) $4.20
Answer:
C) −$0.20
Explanation:
Stock Price (So) = $29.15, Po = $1.05
Initial outflow = So + Po = $29.15 + $1.05
Initial outflow = $30.20
Strike Price (k) $30
Stock price at maturity (St) = $28
Payoff = max(k-st,0)
Payoff = max(30-28,0)
Payoff = max(2,0)
Payoff = $2
The stock on maturity is sold in the market for $28.
Total inflow = Payoff + Stock price on maturity
Total inflow = $2 + $28
Total inflow = $30
Profit = Total inflow - Initial outflow
Profit = $30 - $30.20
Profit = -$0.20
Over a 38-year period an asset had an arithmetic return of 12.4 percent and a geometric return of 10.3 percent. Using Blume’s formula, what is your best estimate of the future annual returns over 6 years? 10 years? 19 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
6 years
= 10.3%*(6-1)/(38-1) + 12.4%*(38-6)/(38-1)
= 12.1 %
10 years
= 10.3%*(10-1)/(38-1) + 12.4%*(38-10)/(38-1)
= 11.89%
19 years
= 10.3%*(19-1)/(38-1) + 12.4%*(38-19)/(38-1)
= 11.38%
you own a bond that has a duration of 7 years interest rates are currently 8% but you belive the fed is about to increase rates by 35 basis points your predicted price change on this bond is
Answer: -2.27%
Explanation:
Bond prices are inversely related to interest rates so when the interest rises, the price of a bond will fall.
The formula for calculating this fall is;
= - Duration * ( Change in interest rate / (1 + current rate))
= -7 * ( 0.35%/(1 +8%))
= -0.022685
= -2.27%

Complete Question:
Two new rides are being compared by a local amusement park in terms of their annual operating costs. The two rides are assumed to be able to generate the same level of revenue (and thus the focus on costs). The Tummy Tugger has fixed costs of $10,000 per year and variable costs of $2.50 per visitor. The Head Buzzer has fixed costs of $4000 per year, and variable costs of $4 per visitor. Provide answers to the following questions so the amusement park can make the needed comparison.
Requirement:
Mathematically determine the breakeven number of visitors per year for the two rides to have equal annual costs.
Answer:
4000 visitors
Explanation:
As we know that:
Total Annual Cost = Variable Cost Per Unit * Total Units + Fixed Costs
For Tummy Tugger,
Variable Cost per Unit is $2.5 per visitor
Total Units are not given so we assume it to be "x"
Fixed cost is $10,000
By putting values we have:
Total Annual Cost = $2.50x + $10,000 ........ Equation 2
Similarly for Head Buzzer,
Variable Cost per Unit is $4 per visitor
Total Units are not given so we assume it to be "x"
Fixed cost is $4,000
By putting values we have:
Total Annual Cost = $4x + $4,000 .......... Equation 3
As per the requirement, the annual cost for both of the rides is same for the year, which means that Equation 2 is equal to Equation 3.
Mathematically,
2.50x + 10000 = $4x + 4000
$10,000 - $4,000 = $4x - $2.5x
$6,000 = $1.5x
x= $6,000 / $1.5 per unit = 4,000 Units
At 4000 visitors for a year, the annual cost of both rides is the same.
June Smith, a process engineer, has sold her 15-year patent for a new etching process to Silica Labs, Inc. In return, she has received $500,000 in cash and, based on its value on the sale date, $200,000 in common stock in Silica Labs. The stock is forecasted to double in market value over the next two months. Assuming that Silica Labs holds some long-term debt, which of the following describes the effect of the transaction on Silica Labs?
A. Current ratio will decrease and total debt to equity ratio will increase.
B. Current ratio will increase and total debt to equity ratio will decrease.
C. Current ratio will increase and total debt to equity ratio will increase.
D. Current ratio will decrease and total debt to equity ratio will decrease.
Answer: D. Current ratio will decrease and total debt to equity ratio will decrease.
Explanation:
The Current ratio is calculated by dividing the firm's current assets by it current liabilities. This transaction will have the effect of reducing the cash account of Silica Labs by $500,000 which means the numerator will be less in the equation which would lead to a lesser Current ratio.
The total debt to equity ratio is calculated by dividing the firms's total debt by its equity. Silica offered equity to June thereby increasing their equity account. This will mean that the denominator has increased in the equation which will lead to a lesser total debt to equity ratio.
A dearborn company has earning per share of $2.30, it paid a dividend of $1.60 per share, and the market price of the company's stock is $64 per share. The price/earnings ratio is closest to:_______
a. 1.29
b. 91.43
c. 20.65
d. 9.60
Answer:
Price -earnings ratio= 27.83 times
Explanation:
The price-earning ratio is the ratio of the market price of a share to its earnings per share .
It helps investors to place a value on the shares of a company.The ratio gives an idea of how much a dollar of earning is worth in a company.
It is calculate as follows:
Price-Earnings ratio = Market price per share(MPS)/Earnings per share(EPS)
Price-earnings ratio = 64/2.30=27.83
Price -earnings ratio= 27.83 times
A property management company hit its corporate goals for the year by increasing profits by 5%, two points higher than its 3% goal. Management was very pleased with the results and decided to celebrate with an extravagant meal for all managers. The following year, the company set the same goal, 3%, but fell very short. When digging into the cause, management found out that the associates were not as productive or as motivated as they were the year before. What should the company do to ensure it hits its goals for years to come
Available Options Are:
A. Continue training to improve its employees' skills
B. Promote the best associates to managers
C. Threaten lay-offs if goals are not hit
D. Provide positive reinforcement for hitting goals
Answer:
Option D. Provide positive reinforcement for hitting goals
Explanation:
The training program is not required as the managers are already trained which means their is not skills deficit which has resulted in not achieving the business goals. Hence Option A is incorrect.
Option B is also incorrect because previously the same managers had achieved the goals hence promoting best associates to managers will not be impact making.
Option C is incorrect because threatening may result in further demotivating employees and it will also increase employee turnover. Hence it is also not a solution.
Option D is correct because the employees are demotivated and all they need is motivation which can be developed by developing a system of reward. This can be achieved by linking their interests with the company's interest. If they achieve their target then they must be awarded a certain portion of the target say 1%. This will increase their motivation to earn more by making additional sales.
Panjim's prepaid expense account consists only of garage rental prepayments. Its 2015 beginning and ending balance were the same. Which one of the following statements must be true?Panjim had no garage rental expenses during 2015Panjim's prepaid expense account balance never varied during 2015Panjim's prepaid expense account balance varied during 2015None of the above statements is true
Answer:
Panjim's prepaid expense account balance varied during 2015
Explanation:
I will use the following example:
Panjim's prepaid garage expense was $1,000 on January 1, 2015
His garage expenses are $250 per quarter
After 6 months, the accrued expenses will be $500, so the balance of the prepaid account = $500
Pinjam incurs in the same garage expenses during the rest of the year, but on December 31, 2015, he prepays the garage expenses for 2016, so the ending balance of the account is $1,000 also.
Prepaid expenses is an asset account, it is not the same as garage expenses which belongs to the income statement. Prepaid expenses must be accrued and the account's balance decreases as time passes, so it will vary during the year.
Assume the spot Swiss franc is $0.7000 and the six-month forward rate is $0.6950. What is the minimum price that a six-month American call option with a strik-ing price of $0.6800 should sell for in a rational market
Answer:
2 cents
Explanation:
The spot price = $0.7000 = 70 cents, The forward rate = $0.6950 = 69.5 cents and the call option with striking price = $0.6800 = 68.00 cents
The annualized six month rate = 3 1/2 % = 3.5 %, therefore the rate = r/n, where n is the number of period per year = 2. Therefore r/n = 3.5% / 2 = 0.035 / 2 = 0.0175
The minimum price = Maximum (spot price - striking price, (forward rate - striking price) / (1 + 0.0175), 0) = Maximum(70 - 68, (69.5 - 68)/ 0.0175, 0)
Minimum price = Maximum (2 , 1.47, 0) = 2 cents
The minimum price for the American option is 2 cents.
We can arrive at this answer in the following format:
First, we will need to calculate the six-month annualized rate. This will be done as the following calculation:[tex]3*(\frac{1}{2})=3.5[/tex]%
Then we will calculate the division of this value by the number of periods in the years, which are two. So we will calculate:[tex]\frac{0.035}{2} = 0.0175[/tex]
With that we can calculate the minimum price as follows:[tex]spot price - striking price = minimum price\\70 - 68= 2[/tex]
With that, we can say that the minimum price is equal to 2 cents.

Assembling Number of parts 0.2
Packaging Number of finished units 2.7
What is the total manufacturing cost per ceiling fan? (Round any intermediate calculations and your final answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
unitary manufacturing cost= $101.1
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Each ceiling fan has 20 separate parts.
The direct materials cost is $70 and each ceiling fan requires 3 hours of machine time to manufacture.
Activity Allocation Base Predetermined Overhead Allocation Rate
Materials handling Number of parts $ 0.08
Machining Machine hours 7.6
Assembling Number of parts 0.2
Packaging Number of finished units 2.7
First, we need to allocate overhead using the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 0.08*20= $1.6
Machining= 7.6*3= $22.8
Assembling= 0.2*20= $4
Packaging= 2.7*1= $2.7
Total allocate overhead per unit= $31.1
Now, we can calculate the unitary manufacturing cost:
unitary manufacturing cost= 70 + 31.1
unitary manufacturing cost= $101.1

The question is incorrect as the dividend at the end of the year is given at $1.5 which is also the D1. So the correct question is,
Summerdahl Resort's common stock is currently trading at $39.00 a share. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.50 a share at the end of the year (D1 = $1.50), and the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year. What is its cost of common equity?
Answer:
The cost of common equity is 8.85%
Explanation:
The constant growth model of DDM values a stock whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate indefinitely. The model calculates the value of the stock today based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
P0 is price todayD1 is the dividend expected at the end of the year or Year 1r is the cost of equityg is the growth rate in dividendsPlugging in the values for all the available variables, we can calculate the value of r.
39 = 1.5 / (r - 0.05)
39 * (r - 0.05) = 1.5
39r - 1.95 = 1.5
39r = 1.5 + 1.95
r = 3.45 / 39
r = 0.08846 or 8.846% rounded off to 8.85%
ABC will purchase a machine that will cost $2,575,000. Required modifications will cost $375,000. ABC will need to invest $75,000 for additional inventory. The machine has an IRS approved useful life of 7 years; it is presumed to have no salvage value. ABC plans to depreciate the machine by using the straight-line method. The machine is expected to increase ABC's sales revenues by $1,890,000 per year; operating costs excluding depreciation are estimated at $454,600 per year. Assume that the firm's tax rate is 40%. What is the annual operating cash flow?
Answer:
The Annual Operating Cash Flow is $1,029,811.43
Explanation:
Initial Investment = Cost of Machine + Modification Cost
Initial Investment = $2,575,000 + $375,000
Initial Investment = $2,950,000
Salvage Value = $0
Useful Life = 7 years
Depreciation per year = (Initial Investment - Salvage Value) / Useful Life
Depreciation per year = ($2,950,000 - $0) / 7
Depreciation per year = $421,428.57
Annual Operating Cash Flow = (Sales – Operating Costs) * (1 – Tax Rate) + Tax Rate * Depreciation
Annual Operating Cash Flow = ($1,890,000 - $454,600) * (1 - 0.40) + 0.40 * $421,428.571
Annual Operating Cash Flow = $1,435,400 * 0.60 + 0.40 * $421,428.571
Annual Operating Cash Flow = $1,029,811.4284
Annual Operating Cash Flow = $1,029,811.43

Holiday Laboratories purchased a high-speed industrial centrifuge at a cost of $440,000. Shipping costs totaled $30,000. Foundation work to house the centrifuge cost $8,600. An additional water line had to be run to the equipment at a cost of $3,000. Labor and testing costs totaled $5,300. Materials used up in testing cost $2,600. The capitalized cost is:__________.
a. $489,900.
b. $470,000.
c. $481,600.
d. $489,500.
Answer:
d. $489,500
Explanation:
The capitalized cost will include all the costs incurred by Holiday laboratories to readily make the asset for use.
Therefore,
Capitalized cost = High speed industrial centrifuge + Shipping cost + Foundation cost + Equipment cost + Labor and testing cost + Material cost
= $440,000 + $30,000 + $8,600 + $3,000 + $5,300 + $2,600
= $489,500
Based on the costs incurred for the fixed asset, the capitalized cost will be a. $489,900
When it comes to fixed assets, all the costs that were needed to acquire the asset and install it will be capitalized.
The capitalized cost is therefore:
= Cost of equipment + Shipping cost + Foundation work cost + Additional water line cost + Labor costs + Materials cost
= 440,000 + 30,000 + 8,600 + 3,000 + 5,300 + 2,600
= $489,500
In conclusion, the capitalized cost was $489,500

Use the two state call option value in this problem. Data: S0=130 ; X=143 ; 1+r=1.1. The two possibilities for ST are 160 and 109. Calculate the value of a call option on the stock with an exercise price of $143.
Answer:
10.3
Explanation:
The computation of the value of a call option is shown below:
But before that we need to do the following calculations
P = (r - d) ÷ (u - d)
where
r = 1.1
d = down price ÷ current price
= 109 ÷ 130
= 0.838
u = up price ÷ current price
= 160 ÷ 130
= 1.231
Now placing these values
= (1.1 - 0.838) ÷ (1.231 - 0.838)
= 0.6667
Now the value of the call option is
= (cu × p) + cd × (1 - p) ÷ R
= (17 × 0.6667) + 0 × (1 - 0.6667) ÷ 1.1
= 10.3
The cu could come from i.e. payoff in that case when the option is exercised
= 160 - 143
= 17
cd = payoff in that case when the option is not exercised

Mill Company began operations on January 1,2017, and recognized income from construction-type contracts under different methods for tax purposes and financial reporting purposes. Information concerning income recognition under each method is as follows:
Year Tax Purposes Book Purposes
2017 $400,000 $ 0
2018 625,000 375,000
2019 750,000 850,000
Required Assume the income tax rate is 35% in all years and that Mill has no other temporary differences. In its December 31, 2019, balance sheet, what amount of deferred income taxes should Mill report? Indicate whether the amount is an asset or a liability.
Answer:
i. Deferred income taxes balance on December 2019 is $192,500
ii. Deferred tax asset.
Explanation:
Year Tax purpose Book purpose Difference Deferred tax book
2017 $400,000 $0 $400,000 $140,000
2018 $625,000 $375,000 $250,000 $87,500
2019 $750,000 $850,000 ($100,000) ($35,000)
Deferred tax asset balance on December 2019 = $192,500
Working
Deferred tax book
2017 = 400,000 * 35% = $140,000
2018 = 250,000 * 35% = $87,500
2019 = (100,000) * 35% = ($35,000)
ii. Book income is less than tax income in 2017 and 2018. Deferred tax asset would be accounted. Book income is higher than tax income in 2019. Deferred tax asset would be reverse (i.e. deferred tax liability). Balance at the end of December 31, 2019 would be Deferred tax asset.

Lance Production Company has the following information:
Standard fixed factory overhead rates per direct labor-hour $1.50
Standard variable factory overhead rates per direct labor-hour $5.00
Actual number of units produced 6,000 units
Actual factory overhead costs (includes $70,000 fixed) $78,000
Actual direct labor hours 6,000 hours
Standard factory overhead rates are based on a normal monthly volume of 5,000 units (1 standard direct labor-hour per unit)
What is Lance's variable overhead efficiency variance?
A. $4,000 (F)
B. $3,000 (F)
C. $6,000 (U)
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Variance overhead efficiency variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) * Standard variable overhead rate
= (6,000 hours * $1) - 6,000 hours * $5
= (6,000 hours - 6,000 hours) * $5
= 0 * $5
= $0
Thus, the Variance overhead efficiency variance = $0
Warren Co. recorded a right-of-use asset of $780,000 in a 10-year finance lease. The interest rate charged by the lessor was 10%. The balance in the right-of-use asset after 2 years will be:
Answer: $624000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Warren Co. recorded a right-of-use asset of $780,000 in a 10-year finance lease and that the interest rate charged by the lessor was 10%.
The balance in the right-of-use asset after 2 years will be calculated as:
= $780,000 - [($780,000/10) × 2]
= $780,000 - ($78000 × 2)
= $780,000 - $156,000
= $624000
Suppose that the government is currently in a recession and elected officials have reached a conclusion that fiscal stimulus is needed. A new fiscal stimulus law (that was just passed) will involve spending $150 billion. Economists have informed you that the spending multiplier in the economy is 2.5 What is the total macroeconomic impact of the fiscal stimulus?
Answer:
The total macroeconomic impact of the fiscal stimulus is $375 billion.
Explanation:
In macroeconomics, a sending multiplier refers to a propositional factor that has a primary function of measuring the extent of the effect of a change in gross domestic product (GDP) as a result of a change in expenditure.
In order to determine the total macroeconomic impact of the fiscal stimulus, we just need to obtain the product of the spending and multiplier as follows:
Total macroeconomic impact = Spending * spending multiplier ............ (1)
Where;
Spending = $150 billion
Spending multiplier = 2.5
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Total macroeconomic impact = $150 billion * 2.5 = $375 billion
Therefore, the total macroeconomic impact of the fiscal stimulus is $375 billion.
