Answer:
E. All of the above.
Explanation:
A) This has happened to other countries, e.g. over 100 years ago, the US owned a very large portion of British foreign debt and it was able to influence British policies. Until that time, the British had been the largest in the world.
B) When government sell bonds, it withdraws money form the economy and increases interest rates, which in the long run will lower capital stock and hurt the economy.
C) The higher the debt level, the higher the interest that must be paid. This also applies to everyone. Imagine if you do not owe any money, and if you need to loan you have several options where to choose from. But if you are over your head in debt, banks will stop lending you money and you will have to look to more expensive sources of credit.

n 2015, Antle Inc. had acquired Demski Co. and recorded goodwill of $270 million as a result. The net assets (including goodwill) from Antle's acquisition of Demski Co. had a 2016 year-end book value of $605 million. Antle assessed the fair value of Demski at this date to be $725 million, while the fair value of all of Demski's identifiable tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) was $580 million. The amount of the impairment loss that Antle would record for goodwill at the end of 2016 is:
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
As we know that the impairment loss is recognized when the book value is more than the fair value
As we can see that since book value is not greater than the fair value so the impairment loss than need to be recorded at the end of 2016 should be zero as it does not satisfy the given condition
Hence, the answer is $0 and the same is to be considered
Last year, T-bills returned 1.8 percent while your investment in large-company stocks earned an average of 5.8 percent. Which one of the following terms refers to the difference between these two rates of return?
A. Standard deviation
B. Treasury bills
C. Geometric return
D. Risk premium
E. Inflation rate
Answer:
Option D. Risk premium, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Given the interest or return earned on the T-bill = 1.8 per cent.
The return earned on the investment made in a large company = 5.8 per cent.
Since we know that the difference between the return by the stock market and risk-free return is the risk premium. Below is the formula.
Risk premium = Return from large company (return by the stock market) – return on T bills (risk-free return)
Therefore, the Option D risk premium is correct.
If the total cost of producing 10 jets is $28 million and the total cost of producing 11 jets is $30 million, this firm is experiencing
Answer:
Economies of scale in the range of 10 to 11 jets.
Explanation:
This firm is experiencing economies of scale, this happens when as a firm or company increases production, the advantage in costs that it receives. There is an inverse relationship between the fixed cost per unit of each jet produced and the number of jet produced. The production of these jets have thereby become efficient from producing 10 at 28m and 11 at 30million.

Treasury bonds paying an 8% coupon rate with semiannual payments currently sell at par value. What coupon rate would they have to pay in order to sell at par if they paid their coupons annually? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
8.16%
Explanation:
The computation of the coupon rate is shown below:
= (1 + coupon rate ÷ 2 )^2 - 1
where,
The coupon rate is 0.08
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the coupon rate is
= (1 + 0.08 ÷ 2 )^2 - 1
= 0.0816
= 8.16%
Hence, the coupon rate that need to be sell if it is paid annually is 8.16% and the same is to be considered
Halsted, Inc., has outstanding 10,000 shares of $200 par value, 7% nonparticipating, cumulative preferred stock and 10,000 shares of $40 par value common stock. If the dividend on preferred stock is one year in arrears, and the total cash dividend declared this year is $288,000, then the total amounts distributed to preferred and common stockholders, respectively, are:
Answer:
Preferred stock holders' dividend = $280000
Common stock holders' dividend = $8000
Explanation:
A cumulative preferred stock is one whose dividends are accumulated in arrears and are to paid in the following year(s), if the company fails to pay or partially pay the dividends in a certain year. The yearly dividend on preferred stock is,
Preferred stock dividend = 10000 * 200 * 0.07 = $140000
As the dividends on preferred stock are in arrears for one year, the company will pay a dividend this year on preferred stock of,
Preferred stock dividend to be paid = 140000 + 140000 = $280000
Thus, out of the announced dividend of $288000, $280000 will be paid to the preferred stock holders while the remaining $8000 will be paid to the common stock holders.

(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 94% compounded quarterly.
The deposit should be__________. $ (Round to the nearest cent as needed)
Answer:
(a) The deposit should be $168.06 quarterly.
(a) The deposit should be $145.32 quarterly.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
An investor needs $11,000 in 19 years.
(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough money in the fund?
(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 9.4% compounded quarterly.
The explanations to the answers are now given as follows:
(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough money in the fund?
Since the amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter, the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity is used as follows:
FV = M * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value of the amount needed in 19 years = $11,000
M = Quarterly deposit = ?
r = Quarterly interest rate = 7% / 4 = 0.07 / 4 = 0.0175
n = number of quarters the deposits will be made = 11 * 4 = 44
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:
11,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.0175)^44 - 1] / 0.0175}
11,000 = M * 65.4531536741798
M = 11,000 / 65.4531536741798
M = $168.06
(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 9.4% compounded quarterly.
We make use of equation (1) in part (a) as follows:
Where,
FV = Future value of the amount needed in 19 years = $11,000
M = Quarterly deposit = ?
r = Quarterly interest rate = 9.4% / 4 = 0.094 / 4 = 0.0235
n = number of quarters the deposits will be made = 11 * 4 = 44
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:
11,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.0235)^44 - 1] / 0.0235}
11,000 = M * 75.6957891651599
M = 11,000 / 75.6957891651599
M = $145.32

Yappy Company is considering a capital investment of $320,000 in additional equipment. The new equipment is expected to have a useful life of 8 years with no salvage value. Depreciation is computed by the straight line method. During the life of the investment, annual net income and cash inflows are expected to be $25,000 and $65,000 respectively. Yappy Company requires a 10% return on all new investments.
Compute each of the following:
1. Payback period
2. Net present value
3. Profitability index
4. internal rate of return
5. Accounting rate of return
Indicate whether the investment should be accepted or rejected.
Answer:
a. 4.92 years
b. NPV = $26,770.20
c. 1.0837
d. IRR = 12.26%
e. 15.6%
the project should be accepted
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow = $320,000 / $65,000 = 4.92 years
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-320,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $65,000
I = 10%
NPV = $26,770.20
IRR = 12.26%
profitability index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment) = 1 + ($26,770.20 / $320,000 ) = 1.0837
The project should be accepted because the NPV and profitability index are positive. the IRR is greater than the discount rate. this means that the project is profitable. Accounting rate of return = Average net income / Average book value
Average book value = (cost of equipment - salvage value) / 2 = $320,000 / 2 = $160,000
$25,000 / $160,000 = 0.156 = 15.6%
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
Capital Investment=$320,000
Expected useful life=8 years
Annual Net income=$25,000
Cash inflows=$65,000
Required Rate of Return=10%
The required whole solution is below;
Based on the NPV rule this investment should be accepted. Because this investment has got positive net present value, therefore this investment should be accepted.

g Gilberto Company currently manufactures 88,000 units per year of one of its crucial parts. Variable costs are $3.10 per unit, fixed costs related to making this part are $98,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $85,000 per year. Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys the part. Gilberto is considering buying the part from a supplier for a quoted price of $4.30 per unit guaranteed for a three-year period. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 88,000 and buying 88,000 units. Should the company continue to manufacture the part, or should it buy the part from the outside supplier

Costs :
Purchase Price ( $4.30 × 88,000 units) $378,400 $ 0 ($378,400)
Savings :
Variable Costs ($3.10 × 88,000 units ) $0 $272,800 $272,800
Fixed Cost $0 $98,000 $98,000
Total $378,400 $370,800 ($7,600)
Note that, Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys the part thus not relevant for this decision.
Conclusion :
It can be seen that it is quite expensive to buy the part from the outside supplier, so continue making the part internally
Teton Trails manufactures backpacks for adventurers. The backpacks come in two types: Daytripper, and Excursion. Teton anticipates the following production volumes:
Daytripper: 2,000 backpacks in July, 2,200 backpacks in August
Excursion: 1,200 backpacks in July, 900 backpacks in August
Each Daytripper backpack requires 1 hour of direct labor and each Excursion backpack requires 2.5 hours of direct labor.
If the total budgeted labor for August is 5,000 hours, how much indirect labor did Teton budget?
A. 550 hours
B. 1,000 hours
C. 1,550 hours
D. 1,900 hours
Answer:
Indirect labor= 550 hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Daytripper: 2,200 backpacks in August
Excursion: 900 backpacks in August
Each Daytripper backpack requires 1 hour of direct labor and each Excursion backpack requires 2.5 hours of direct labor.
First, we need to calculate direct labor:
Direct labor= 2,200*1 + 900*2.5= 4,450
Now, indirect labor:
Indirect labor= total labor hours - direct hours
Indirect labor= 5,000 - 4,450
Indirect labor= 550 hours

b) If the only current assets shown on the balance sheet for Arch Company are Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Merchandise Inventory, then how much does the firm have in Merchandise Inventory?
c) If the firm collects an account receivable of $108,000, then what will its new current ratio and working capital be?
d) If the firm pays an account payable of $57,000, then what will its new current ratio and working capital be?
e) If the firm sells inventory that was purchased for $50,000 at a cash price of $65,000, then what will its new acid-test ratio be?
Answer:
a) $155,000
b) $232,500
c) current ratio = 3, working capital = $310,000
d) current ratio = 4.16, working capital = $310,000
e) 1.92
Explanation:
current ratio = current assets / current liabilities = 3
acid test ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities = 1.5
working capital = current assets - current liabilities = $310,000
a) current liabilities = current assets - $310,000
3 = current assets / (current assets - $310,000)
3 current assets - $930,000 = current assets
2 current assets = $930,000
current assets = $465,000
current liabilities = $465,000 - $310,000 = $155,000
b) current liabilities = current assets / 3
current liabilities = (current assets - merchandise inventory) / 1.5
current assets / 3 = (current assets - merchandise inventory) / 1.5
current assets = 2 current assets - 2 merchandise inventories
current asset = 2 merchandise inventories
$465,000 = 2 merchandise inventories
merchandise inventory = $232,500
c) nothing changes, since a current asset is replaced by another current asset
d) $408,000 / $98,000 = 4.16
e) $297,500 / $155,000 = 1.92
a) $155,000
b) $232,500
c) current ratio is = 3, working capital = $310,000
d) current ratio is = 4.16, working capital = $310,000
e) 1.92
Calculation of Current RatioThe formula current ratio is = current assets / current liabilities = 3
Then, the acid test ratio is = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities = 1.5
After that, working capital = current assets - current liabilities = $310,000
a) current liabilities is = current assets - $310,000
Then, 3 = current assets / (current assets - $310,000)
After that, 3 current assets - $930,000 = current assets
Then, 2 current assets = $930,000
The current assets is = $465,000
Therefore, current liabilities = $465,000 - $310,000 = $155,000
b) current liabilities is = current assets / 3
Then, current liabilities = (current assets - merchandise inventory) / 1.5
After that, current assets / 3 = (current assets - merchandise inventory) / 1.5
Now, current assets = 2 current assets - 2 merchandise inventories
Then, current asset = 2 merchandise inventories
$465,000 = 2 merchandise inventories
Hence, merchandise inventory = $232,500
c) When the nothing changes, since a current asset is replaced by another current asset
d) $408,000 / $98,000 is = 4.16
e) $297,500 / $155,000 is = 1.92

Consider a project with the following data: accounting break even quantity = 16,700 units., cash break even quantity = 15,000 units., life = four years., fixed costs = $150,000 variable cost = $ 32 per unit., required return = 15 percent. Ignoring the effect of taxes.
Required:
Find the financial break-even quantity.
Answer:
The financial break-even quantity is 17,385.97
Explanation:
Cash Break even = Fixed Cost / (Price- variable Cost)
15,000 = $150,000 / (P-$32)
15,000 (P) -15,000*32 = $150,000
15,000 (P) - $480,000 = $150,000
15,000 (P) = $150,000 + $480,000
15,000 (P) = $630,000
P = $630,000/15,000
P = $42 per unit
From accounting break even quantity = 16,700 units, = QA
QA= (FC + D)/(P –v)
16,700 = ($150,000 + D)/($42 - $32)
16,700 = ($150,000 + D)/$10
16,700*$10 = ($150,000 + D)
$167,000 = ($150,000 + D)
$167,000 - $150,000 = D
D = $17,000
Therefore, the depreciated value is = $17,000
To find the annual depreciation amount we assume straight-line depreciation Initial investment = 4($17,000) = $68,000
The PV of the OCF must be equal to this value at the financial break even since the NPV is 0:
$68,000 = OCF (PVIFA15%, 4)
$68,000 = OCF * [ 1 - ( 1+ r)^-n ] / r
$68,000 = OCF * [ 1 - ( 1+ 0.15)^-4] / 0.15
$68,000 = OCF * 2.85
OCF = $68,000/2.85
OCF = $23,859.65
Therefore, Break-even level of OCF = $23,859.65
Then,
QF= ($150,000 + $23,859.65)/($42 – $32)
QF= 17,385.97
Therefore, financial break-even quantity is 17,385.97

Larkspur Co. had cost of goods sold of $3,100. If beginning inventory was $3,200 and ending inventory was $1.050. Larkspur's purchases must have been:___________.
a. $950
b. $1,150
c. $2,150
d. $5.250
Answer:
cost of goods purchased= $950
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Larkspur Co. had cost of goods sold of $3,100.
Beginning inventory was $3,200
Ending inventory was $1,050
To calculate the purchases, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory
3,100 = 3,200 + cost of goods purchased - 1,050
cost of goods purchased= 950
Answer: Larkspur's purchases = $950
Explanation: From the information given:
Cost of Goods Sold = $3,100.
Beginning inventory = $3,200
Ending inventory = $1,050
We can obtain the price of the purchases.
We know that: Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory = Cost of Goods Sold.
Therefore: Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory - Cost of Goods Sold = Purchases.
Thus: $3,200 + $1,050 - $3,100 = $950
