Answer:
the cost per equivalent unit of materials is a. $2.06.
Explanation:
Step 1 : Calculate the total equivalent units of production for raw materials.
Units completed and transferred (150,000 × 100%) = 150,000
Units in Ending Work in process (32,500 × 100%) = 32,500
Total equivalent units of production for raw materials = 182,500
Step 2 : Calculated the total raw material costs incurred during the period.
Raw material cost in Beginning Work in Process = $48,000
Add Raw Materials Cost Incurred during the period = $328,050
Total raw material costs incurred = $376,050
Step 3 : Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Cost per equivalent unit = Total raw material costs incurred ÷ Total equivalent units of production for raw materials
= $376,050 ÷ 182,500
= $2.06

Live Forever Life Insurance Co. is selling a perpetuity contract that pays $1,050 monthly. The contract currently sells for $70,000. a. What is the monthly return on this investment vehicle
Answer:
a. 1.5% monthly
b. 18% per annum
c. 19.56%
Explanation:
Below are the missing sub-questions
"b. What is the Annual Percentage Rate?
c. What is the effective annual return?"
Solution
a. Monthly return = 1,050 / 70,000
Monthly return = 0.015
Monthly return = 1.5% monthly
b. APR = 12 month * 0.015
APR = 0.18
APR = 18% per annum
c. EAR = (1+0.015)^12 -1

EAR = 1.195618 - 1
EAR = 0.195618
EAR = 19.56%
Question 6 Professor Fader discussed "salesperson of the month." What would he say is the best way to pick a salesperson of the month?
Answer:
The best way for Professor Fader to pick the Salesperson of the Month is to measure the change in total customer lifetime value for that month delivered and give the award to the salesperson with the highest points.
Explanation:
Total Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) refers to the total value delivered by a customer over a particular period not just in the number of purchases they have made. A customer's value also includes, but is not limited to:
The formula for calculating CLV is by:
(Annual Customer Revenue X Lenth of Relationship in Years) - (Total costs of acquiring plus Total Cost of Serving the customer)
or
(ACR x LR)-(TCA+TCS) = CLV

Find the convexity of a seven-year maturity, 6% coupon bond selling at a yield to maturity of 8%. The bond pays its coupons annually. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Answer:
convexity = 37.6306
Explanation:
given data:
maturity time = 7 years
yield to maturity (y) = 8% = 0.08
coupon bond = 6%
price= $89.59 ( gotten from the summation of pv(cf) from the table attached below )
t = time
convexity can be found using this formula
[tex]= \frac{1}{p(1+y)^2} * summation of (t +t^2) * pv(cf)[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{89.59*(1.08)^2} * 3932.310[/tex] = 37.6306

At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 26,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials, and 15% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 76,000 units and transferred 86,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 16,000 units in inventory, 90% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. If Martin Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Forming Department.
Answer:
Materials - 100,400Conversion - 95,600Explanation:
Equivalent Units = Units Completed and Transferred out + Ending Work in Progress.
Materials Equivalent Units
Ending Work in Progress = 90% * 16,000
= 14,400 units
Equivalent Units = 86,000 + 14,400
= 100,400 units
Conversion Equivalent Units
Ending Work in Progress = 60% * 16,000
= 9,600 units
Equivalent Units = 86,000 + 9,600
= 95,600 units
M Corp. has an employee benefit plan for compensated absences that gives each employee 15 paid vacation days. Vacation days can be carried over indefinitely. Employees can elect to receive payment in lieu of vacation days. At December 31, 2021, M's unadjusted balance of liability for compensated absences was $28,200. M estimated that there were 200 total vacation days available at December 31, 2021. M's employees earn an average of $141 per day. In its December 31, 2021, balance sheet, what amount of liability for compensated absences is M required to report
Answer: $28,200
Explanation;
There are 200 vacation days available as at December 31, 2021.
The liability compensated absences will be the amount that M Corp. owes employees should they take those 200 vacation days.
= 200 * 141 per day

Use the information in the table below:
Items Billions of $
Savings deposits 7000
Money market mutual funds 700
M2 13700
Checking deposits 2250
Small time deposits 750
1. What is M1?
2. Now, calculate the amount of currency in billions of dollars in the economy from the given information (assume no traveler's checks).
Answer:
1. $5,250 billion.
2. $3,000 billion.
Explanation:
1. M1 = M2 - Savings deposits - Money market mutual funds - Small time deposits
M1 = $13,700 billion - $7,000 billion - $700 billion - $750 billion
M1 = $5,250 billion
Thus, M1 is $5,250 billion.
2. Currency in circulation = M1 - Checking deposits
Currency in circulation = $5,250 billion - $2,250 billion
Currency in circulation = $3,000 billion
Thus, the amount of currency in circulation is $3,000 billion.
A stock has an expected return of 11.1 percent, its beta is .86, and the risk-free rate is 5.55 percent. What must the expected return on the market be?
Answer:
12%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on the market is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
11.1% = 5.55% + 0.86 × (Market rate of return - 5.55%)
So, the market rate of return is
= (11.1% - 5.55%) ÷ 0.86 + 5.55%
= 12%
Also , The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as the market risk premium

What is the percentage loss on the funds she invested if the interest payment is included in the calculation
Answer with complete Question:
Barbara buys 130 shares of DEM at $33.00 a share and 190 shares of GOP at $37.00 a share. She buys on margin and the broker charges interest of 7 percent on the loan.
a. If the margin requirement is 42 percent, what is the maximum amount she can borrow? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ 6,565.60
(Which is equal to 58(100 - 42)% of $11,320.)
b. If she buys the stocks using the borrowed money and holds the securities for a year, how much interest must she pay? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ 459.59 ($6,565.60 x 7%)
If after a year she sells DEM for $22.00 a share and GOP for $30.00 a share, how much did she lose on her investment? Use a minus sign to enter the amount as a negative value. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ 2,760
What is the percentage loss on the funds she invested if the interest payment is included in the calculation? Use a minus sign to enter the amount as a negative value. Round your answer to two decimal places.
28.44 %
Explanation:
a. Data and Calculations:
DEM, 130 shares at $33.00 a share = $4,290
GOP, 190 shares at $37.00 a share = 7,030
Total value of investments = $11,320
Margin requirement = 42% of $11.320 = $4,754.40
Barbara can borrow $6,565.60 ($11,320 - $4,754.40)
1. Interest on borrowed fund (margin):
$6,565.60 x 7% = $459.59
2. Loss from Sale of:
DEM, 130 shares at $22.00 a share = $1,430 ($11 x 130)
GOP, 190 shares at $30.00 a share = $1,330 ($7 x 190)
Total loss from investments = $2,760
3. Percentage Loss, with interest included:
Interest on borrowed fund = $6,565.60 x 7% = $459.59
Total loss from investments = $2,760.00
Total loss = $3,219.59
Total value of investments = $11,320
Percentage Loss = $3,219.59/$11,320 * 100 = 28.44%
A company issues 9%, 5-year bonds with a par value of $140,000 on January 1 at a price of $145,678, when the market rate of interest was 8%. The bonds pay interest semiannually. The amount of each semiannual interest payment is:
Answer:
Semi annual interest payment = $6300
Explanation:
The interest payment of bond is calculated based on the coupon rate of the bond. The coupon rate is the interest rate carried by the bond. This rate can be different from the market interest rate and bond's yield to maturity. The interest payment is calculated by multiplying the coupon rate by the face value of the bond.
Annual interest payment = Coupon rate * Par value
For a semi annual bond, we calculate the interest payment in the same way as the annual bond. However, we just have to adjust the coupon rate for the semi annual period. We multiply the coupon rate by 6/12 as it is a semi annual payment.
Semi annual interest payment = Coupon rate * 6/12 * Par Value
Semi annual interest payment = 0.09 * 6/12 * 140000
Semi annual interest payment = $6300
The trade-off between work and leisure underlying the supply of labor involves the substitution effect and the _____ effect.
Answer:
income
Explanation:
Answer:
income effect
Explanation:
In microeconomics, trade off can be theoretically explained as the estimate of similarities or dissimilarities that exist between monetary compensation received by employee from the employer and the pleasure gotten from leisure. And this could involve substitution effect and the income effect.
Note that the income effect is the alteration in demand for a good or service as a result of the effect on income of consumer while substitution the effect deal with alteration of the price of a good as a result of demand of that particular goods by customer.
Therefore,trade-off between work and leisure underlying the supply of labor involves the substitution effect and the income effect.
Targaryen Corporation has a target capital structure of 75 percent common stock, 10 percent preferred stock, and 15 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 9 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 5 percent, and the pretax cost of debt is 6 percent. The relevant tax rate is 21 percent.a. What is the company’s WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)b. What is the aftertax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a.
WACC = 0.07961 or 7.961% rounded off to 7.96%
b.
After tax cost of debt = 0.0474 or 4.74%
Explanation:
a.
The weighted average cost of capital or WACC is the cost of a firm's capital structure. To calculate the WACC, we multiply the weight of each component of the capital structure by the cost of that component. The components of capital structure can be one or all of the following namely debt, preferred stock and common stock.
The formula for WACC is,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each component r represents the cost of each component D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common stock respectively
WACC = 0.15 * 0.06 * (1 - 0.21) + 0.1 * 0.05 + 0.75 * 0.09
WACC = 0.07961 or 7.961% rounded off to 7.96%
b.
The after tax cost of debt is calculated by multiplying the cost of debt by (1 - tax rate) to adjust for the tax advantage provided by debt as interest payments on debt are tax deductible.
After tax cost of debt = 0.06 * (1 - 0.21)
After tax cost of debt = 0.0474 or 4.74%

option 3)
6 annual payments of $13,000 (6%) interest rate = $13,000 x 4.9173 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 6 periods = $63,925
Raggs, Ltd. a clothing firm, determines that in order to sell x suits, the price per suit must be pequals160 minus 0.75 x. It also determines that the total cost of producing x suits is given by Upper C (x )equals4000 plus 0.5 x squared. a) Find the total revenue, Upper R (x ). b) Find the total profit, Upper P (x ). c) How many suits must the company produce and sell in order to maximize profit? d) What is the maximum profit? e) What price per suit must be charged in order to maximize profit?
Answer:
a) R(x) = 160x - 0.5x^2
b) P(x) = 160x - x^2 - 4000
c) The company must produce and sell 107 suits in order to maximize profit.
d) The maximum profit is $1,671.
e) The price per suit that must be charged in order to maximize profit is $106.50.
Explanation:
Given;
Price = p = 160 - 0.5x .....................,............. (1)
Total cost = C(x) = 4000 + 0.5x^2 ............. (2)
We can solve as follows:
a) Find the total revenue
Total revenue = R(x) = p * x ........................(3)
Since from equation (1) p = 160 - 0.75x, we therefore substitute into equation (3) solve to have:
R(x) = (160 - 0.5x)x
R(x) = 160x - 0.5x^2 ................................... (4) <---------- Total revenue
b) Find the total profit, Upper P(x).
P(x) = R(x) - C(x) ........................................... (5)
Substituting equations (2) and (4) into equation (5) and solve, we have:
P(x) = 160x - 0.5x^2 - (4000 + 0.5x^2)
P(x) = 160x - 0.5x^2 - 4000 - 0.5x^2
P(x) = 160x - x^2 - 4000 ........................... (6) <------------------ Total profit
c) How many suits must the company produce and sell in order to maximize profit?
Profit is maximized where Marginal Revenue (MR) is equal to Marginal Cost (MC). That is where;
MR = MC ................................................ (7)
Where MR = price = p = 160 - 0.5x
MC is obtained buy differentiating equation (2) with respect to x as follows:
MC = C'(x) = x
Substituting for MR and MC in equation (7) and solve for x, we have:
160 - 0.5x = x
160 = x + 0.5X
160 = 1.5x
x = 160 / 1.5
x = 107
Therefore, the company must produce and sell 107 suits in order to maximize profit.
d) What is the maximum profit?
To obtain this, we substitute x = 107 into equation (6) and solve as follows:
P(x) = 160(107) - 107^2 - 4000
P(x) = (160 * 107) - 107^2 - 4000
P(x) = 17,120 - 11,449 - 4000
P(x) = 1,671
Therefore, the maximum profit is $1,671.
e) What price per suit must be charged in order to maximize profit?
To obtain this, we substitute x = 107 into equation (1) and solve as follows:
p = 160 - 0.5(107)
p = 160 - (0.5 * 107)
p = 160 - 53.50
p = 106.50
Therefore, price per suit that must be charged in order to maximize profit is $106.50.

C&A sells T-shirts for $20 that cost $5 to produce. The annual holding cost percentage is 10% and the T-shirts turn 25 times a year. What holding cost does C&A incur for each T-shirt? $0.50 $0.02 $0.08 $0.04
Answer:
$0.02
Explanation:
C&A sells T-shirts for $20 that cost $5 to produce
The annual holfing cost percentage is 10%
The T-shirts turn 25 times a year
The first step is to calculate the holding cost
= $5 × 10/100
= $5 × 0.1
= 0.5
Therefore, since the T-shirts turn over 25 times a year then, the holding cost that C&A incurs for each T-shirts can be calculated as follows
= 0.5/25 times
= $0.02
Hence C&A incur a holding cost of $0.02 for each T-shirts

Explain why income property cash flow is not the same as taxable income. Property cash flow usually differs from property taxable income because:
Answer:
Income property cash flow is not the same as taxable income for the following reasons:
- The amount of income that the owner must report for federal income tax purpose is different from the net cash flow created by the rental property
- While the interest part of a mortgage payment is tax deductible, a cash outflow is not tax deductible.
-In the calculation of taxable income from annual operations,a deduction for -depreciation is allowed, however, the owner does not pay for depreciation on an annual basis. This creates a reduction in taxable income as compared to the actual cash flow.
A man who is going to be living abroad for 2 years wants to buy an ordinary annuity that will provide monthly payments of $750 to his parents at the end of each month while he is gone. The interest rate he can obtain is 6% compounded monthly.
a) Over the 2 years, how much money will his parents receive from their son?
b) What is the amount of the annuity that he must buy now (present value) to generate these payments?
Answer:
a. $18,000
b. $16,922.18
Explanation:
a. The parents will receive $750 every month for 2 years while the man is away.
That means $750 for 24 months.
Total = 750 * 24
= $18,000
b. Payment is monthly so interest and period have to be converted accordingly.
2 years = 24 months
6% per year = 6/12 = 0.5% a month
Present Value of annuity formula;
PV = Pmt x (1 - (1 / (1 + i)^n)) / i
= 750 * ( 1 - (1 / 1.005^24))/0.005
= 750 * 22.5629
= $16,922.18

1. A major controversy that is yet to be resolved about the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 is: A. The mechanism for enrollment of new Medicare managed care clients B. Northern versus southern states’ philosophies of “indigent care” C. What the program will ultimately cost the federal government D. None of the above
Answer:
C. What the program will ultimately cost the federal government
Explanation:
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 was an attempt to make improvements or amendments to the Social Security Act. It radically changed the playing field for private plans participating in the Medicare program by substantially raising monthly payment rates in an effort to stabilize the market and reverse the decline in benefit generosity. It also provided for voluntary prescription drugs under the medicare program. However, the utilization and cost of the program skyrocketed as soon as the funding source was established. It has remained unknown what the program will ultimately cost the federal government, no wonder the current administration under Trump wants to turn it upside down.

What is not a major purpose of orientation and socialization? Reducing employee turnover Reducing employee benefits Reducing stress and anxiety Reducing start-up costs
Answer:
B). Reducing employee benefits
Explanation:
Orientation and socialization programs primarily aim to make the new employees familiar to the organization, their role in the organization, the policies, rules, and to the other employees also. It helps the new employees to adapt easily to the new work environment, internalize the values, culture, and principles of the organization, build effective work relationships, etc.
As per the question, 'reducing the employee benefits' is not a major purpose of conducting orientation and socialization programs as it has no affiliation to it. These programs primarily aim to familiarize the new employees to the work culture which helps in reducing employee turnover(loss of talent due to an old employee leaving the organization and replaced by a new one), reducing the stress and grievances of the new employees, and reducing start-up costs as once the employees are familiar, they would yield maximum productivity in limited time. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Question:
Currently, GreenCut Lawnmowers produces all of the transmissions used in its riding lawnmowers in-house. Its annual costs for producing these 45,000 transmissions are detailed below:
Direct material 765,000
Direct labor 270,000
variable overhead 240,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead 150,000
Total manufacturing cost 1,425,000
Instead of making its own transmissions, GreenCut is considering buying them from a supplier at a price of $30 each. Based on incremental analysis, GreenCut should
Answer:
Green Cut should produce/make the transmission internally because doing so would it $15,000
Explanation:
For a make or buy decision the relevant cash flows include
1. the differential variable of the two options
2. savings from avoidable fixed costs associated with internal production
Incremental analysis $
External cost of purchase( $30× 45,000) 1,350,000
Variable cost of making
(765,000 + 270,000 + 250,000) (1,185,000 )
Extra variable cost of external purchase 165,000
Savings in Avoidable fixed cost (150,000)
Net extra cost of external purchase cost 15,000
Note that the fixed manufacturing cost are unavoidable cost i.e which means they would be incurred either way.
Decision
Green Cut should produce/make the transmission internally because doing so would it $15,000
