Chris plans on saving $4,000 a year at 4 percent interest for five years. Which one of these is the correct formula for computing the future value at Year 5 of these savings? Assume the payments occur at the end of each year. Click the answer you think is right. FVA $4,000 x [(1.04-1)10.04] FVA $4,000 x [(1.04-1)/0.04 FVA $4.000 x 1.04 FVA, $4,000 x [(1.04 -1/.04] x (1.04)
Answer: Closest answer is: FVA $4,000 x [(1.04-1)/0.04
Explanation:
Because the deposit is constant and occurs every period, it is an annuity.
The formula for the future value of an annuity is:
= Annuity * ( (1 + rate)^number of periods - 1) / rate
Correct formula is therefore:
= 4,000 * ( ( 1 + 4%)⁵ - 1) 4%+
= 4,000 * ( 1.04⁵ - 1 ) / 0.04
Closest answer is: FVA $4,000 x [(1.04-1)/0.04

____________ is a performance assessment in which companies identify which customers are leaving and measuring the rate at which they are leaving.
A company designs a training program for underperforming employees. They enroll in the program the employees who received the worst 10% of performance evaluations in a given year. They find that very few of the employees who go through the program are in the bottom 10% of performance evaluations the next year. What can they conclude about their new program
Answer:
They can conclude that the program was a success
Explanation:
They can conclude that the program was a success. The main goal of the program is to increase the performance of the employees that were performing the worst in the company. By choosing the bottom 10% of the performance evaluation, they make sure that they are getting the worst of the worst in the company. Therefore, if after the program, the subjects are no longer in the bottom 10% then this means that they have drastically increased their performance and have even passed those that were in a much higher performance ranking than them in the previous year. This means that the program exceeded its goal and can be marked as successful.
A TV manufacturing company uses speakers at the rate of 8000/mo. When it places an order for speakers it incurs a fixed cost of $1200. The monthly interest rate for keeping a speaker in stock is assessed at 1%/mo. The cost of the speaker depends on the order size. If less than 1000 speakers are ordered the cost is $11 each. When the order size is between 1000 and 10,000 the cost is $10.50/unit. For order sizes between 10,000 and 30,000 the cost is $10 per unit. For order quantities between 30,000 and 80,000 the cost drops to $9.50. Beyond 80,000 the cost is $9.25. Determine the optimum order size and time between orders if shortages are not allowed.

b). Ordering cost 19200 9600 960 320 120
c). Carrying cost 27.5 52.5 500 1425 3700
Total monthly cost 107227.5 93652.5 81460 77745 77820
Among the total monthly cost, $ 77,745 is the least cost.
Therefore, the optimum order size of quantity = 30,000

You want to take out a $125,000 mortgage. The interest rate on the mortgage is 5%, and the loan is for 30 years. How much will your monthly payments be
Answer: $671.03
Explanation:
The monthly payment will be an annuity because it will be constant. The loan amount will be the present value of the loan.
Periodic interest rate of loan = 5%/12 = 5/12%
Loan period = 30 * 12 months = 360 months
Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -number of periods) / rate
125,000 = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + 5/12%)⁻³⁶⁰) / 5/12%
125,000 = Annuity * 186.2816170
Annuity = 125,000 / 186.2816170
= $671.03

a. units of direct material used
b. direct labor hours
c. direct labor cost
d. machine hours
Answer:
D)machine hours
Explanation:
It should be noted that department that is capital-intensive most likely would use a predetermined departmental overhead rate based on
machine hours.
A machine-hour can be regarded as measurement that is been used in applying factory overhead to manufactured goods. It's application is usually found in machine-intensive environments, environment whereby the amount of time that is expelled on processing by a machine is been regarded as largest activity that overhead allocations can be said to have based upon.

True or False: With a minimum wage of $8.70, unemployment of unskilled workers is lower with the tax credit versus without it.
Answer: True
Explanation:
Generally speaking, a tax credit would bring about a lower unemployment rate for unskilled labor as opposed to a situation where there is no tax credit.
A tax credit would reduce the amount of taxes that a company is to pay which would leave them with more income to reinvest into the business. This reinvestment will lead to the business having a higher production capacity such that it requires more workers so they will hire more workers, both unskilled and skilled thereby reducing the unemployment rate for both.

Answer:
Garcia Corporation
Bond interest expense reported on the December 31 2020 income statement of Garcia Corporation would be:
= $216,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of bonds issued = $8,000,000
Issue price at 96 = 7,680,000 (96% * $8,000,000)
Discount on bonds = $320,000
Coupon rate of interest = 5% or 2.5% semi-annually
Maturity period = 10 years
Period of bonds = 20 (10 * 2)
Interest payment = Jan 1 and July 1 (semi-annually)
Amortized semi-annual discounts = $16,000 ($320,000/20)
Interest payment = $200,000 ($8,000,000 * 2.5%)
Interest expense = $216,000 ($200,000 + $16,000)
Analysis on December 31, 2020:
Interest expense $216,000
Interest payable $200,000
Amortized discounts $16,000
During the year, Gary, the sole shareholder of a calendar year S corporation, received a distribution of $16,000. At the end of last year, his stock basis was $4,000. The corporation earned $11,000 ordinary income during the year. It has no accumulated E & P. Which statement is correct?a. Gary recognizes a $1,000 LTCG.b. Gary’s stock basis is $2,000.c. Gary’s ordinary income is $15,000.d. Gary’s tax-free return of capital is $11,000.

= 16,000 - 4,000 - 11,000
= $1,000
First statement is therefore correct that Gary would recognize an LTCG of $1,000.

One year ago, Richard purchased $1,260 worth of Double GG Corporation common stock for $42 per share. During the year, Richard received two dividend payments, each equal to $.05 per share. The current market value of the stock is $44 per share. What yield did Richard earn on his investment during the year
Answer:
Yield earned by Richard on his investment during the year is 5%.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Number of shares purchased = Worth of common stock one year ago / Price per share one year ago = $1,260 / $42 = 30 shares
Total dividend received during the year = Number of shares purchased * Dividend per share * 2 = 30 * $0.05 * 2 = $3
Current worth of common stock = Number of shares purchased * Current market value per share = 30 * $44 = $1,320
Yield earned during the year = (Current worth of common stock - Worth of common stock one year ago + Total dividend received during the year) / Worth of common stock one year ago = ($1,320 - $1,260 + $3) / $1,260 = 0.05, or 5%
Therefore, yield earned by Richard on his investment during the year is 5%.

Do you think the licensing process for international medical graduates is an unnecessary hurdle meant to shield U.S. doctors from foreign competition?
Answer:
No licensing is right. Doctors in U.S. are spending more on medical studies than any other country. It is necessary for other country medical students to gain license in order to do practice in the country.
Explanation:
In U.S. doctors are in deficiency so the country cannot completely cease employment for foreign doctors. The country needs to welcome foreign doctors but it is also necessary to safeguard home doctors. If U.S. will not safeguard rights of home country doctors then they will be demotivated and will not be patriotic for the country.

On January 1, 2020, Ellison Co. issued eight-year bonds with a face value of $5,000,000 and a stated interest rate of 8%, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds were sold to yield 6%. The issue price of the bonds is closest to:
Answer:
"$4,417,800" is the correct solution.
Explanation:
According to the question,
Principal amount,
= $5,000,000
Number of period will be:
= [tex]8\times 2[/tex]
= [tex]16[/tex]
Interest rate yield per period will be:
= [tex]\frac{8 \ percent}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]4[/tex] %
Interest rate started per period will be:
= [tex]\frac{6 \ percent}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]3[/tex] %
Now,
The present value of principal will be:
= [tex]Principal\ amount\times Yield \ discount \ factor[/tex]
= [tex]5,000,000\times 0.534[/tex]
= [tex]2,670,000[/tex] ($)
The present value of interest will be:
= [tex]Interest \ amount\times Yield \ discount \ factor[/tex]
= [tex](5,000,000\times 3 \ percent)\times 11.652[/tex]
= [tex]1,747,800[/tex] ($)
hence,
The issue price of bonds will be:
= [tex]2,670,000+1,747,800[/tex]
= [tex]4,417,800[/tex] ($)
