Answer:
In the first instance money serves as Measure of Value, while in the second instance money serves as Medium of Exchange.
Explanation:
The measure of value and medium of exchange are two of the functions of money which are explained as follows:
a) Measure of Value
The function of money as a measure of value permits all goods and services to be attached prices. That is, every commodity is valued in terms of money. Therefore, money gives the opportunity to compare values of goods and services. Measure of value is also referred to as a unit of value.
From the question, the function of money as a measure of value is what permits Seven-11 to quote a super Slurpee as $1.39.
b) Medium of exchange
The function of money as a medium of exchange provides the opportunity use money as an intermediary instrument in order to ensure goods and services purchased, sold or traded between parties at a standard value. This is different from what obtained under the trade by barter in which commodities had to be exchanged for commodities without any standard value.
From the question, the function of money as a medium of exchange allows an amount of $1.39 which is a standard value was exchanged for the super Slurpee.
Answer:
(1) Unit of Account
(2) Medium of Exchange
Explanation:
(1) A unit of account is the measure in which prices are quoted. Thus, when the price of the super Slurpee is quoted in dollars, money functions as a unit of account.
(2) A medium of exchange is what people trade for goods and services. Thus, when you buy the super Slurpee, you are offering the $1.39 in exchange for the super Slurpee. Money here serves as a medium of exchange.
What is the yield to maturity of a bond that pays a 6% coupon rate with semiannual coupon payments, has a par value of $1,000, matures in 15 years, and is currently selling for $803
Answer:
Yield to Maturity = 8.11 %
Explanation:
The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond
The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:
YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YTM-Yield to maturity-
C- annual coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
n- years to maturity
YTM-?, C- 6%× 1000 =60, Face Value - 1,000, P-803, n- 15
YTM = (60 + (1000-803)/15) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 803) )
YTM = 0.0811 × 100 = 8.11 %
Yield to Maturity = 8.11 %

In a competitive industry, it takes a fixed ratio of one skilled worker and two unskilled workers to produce a unit of output. If the immigration of unskilled workers lowers the wage of unskilled workers, it will likely
Answer:
The answer is that the ratio is likely the same.
Explanation:
There is no equivalent of how many unskilled worker can replace a skilled worker. Also, it's a fixed ratio of one skilled worker and two unskilled workers to produce a unit of output. Therefore, even though the wage of unskilled workers decreases because of a surplus in immigration of unskilled workers, and assume that the rest is the same, firms won't hire more unskilled workers.

An annuity provides for 30 annual payments. The first payment of 100 is made immediately and the remaining payments increase by 8 percent per annum. Interest is calculated at 13.4 percent per annum. Calculate the present value of this annuity.
Answer:
$1423.38
Explanation:
number of payments ( number of years )(n) = 30
first payment = $100
interest calculated at : 13.4 % = 0.134
increment rate : 8 percent = 0.08
we can calculate the present value using this Equation
= (p / (r-g)) * [1 - [(1+g)/(1+r)]^n ]
where :
p / (r-g) = 100 / (0.134 - 0.08 ) = $1852
[1 - ((1+g)/(1+r)]^n ) = (1 - ((1.08/1.134)^30 ) = 0.7686
hence the present value of this annuity = $1852 * 0.7686 = $1423.38
Note :
p ( first principal payment ) = $100
r ( calculated interest ) = 13.4% = 0.134
g ( increment interest ) = 8 % = 0.08
A bond with a par value of $1,000 and an annual coupon has a yield to maturity of 5.60% and a current price of $975. If the bond has 18 years to maturity, what is its current yield?
Answer:
Current Yield is 5.74%
Explanation:
Current yield is the ratio of coupon payment of a bond to its current market price. It is calculated by using coupon payment and the current market value of the bond.
Coupon Payment = $1,000 x 5.6% = $56
Current market price = $975
Formula for Current yield is as follow
Current Yield = Annual Coupon Payment / Current Market Price
Current Yield = $56 / $975
Current Yield = 0.0574% = 5.74%

________ is the idea that organizations tend to be more effective when they are structured to fit the demands of the situation.
Answer: Contingency Approach
Explanation: The contingency approach is the idea that organizations tend to be more effective when they are structured to fit the demands of the situation. By fitting to the demands of the situation, it means that they are better equipped with alternatives to be put into operation if needed, especially in the case of emergencies, or in situations where earlier arrangements failed. The approach claims that there is no best way to organize a corporation, to lead a company, or to make decisions and therefore posits that the optimal course of action is contingent (dependent) upon the demands of the situation.

Hence the Sharpe ratio of the portfolio is 0.25
During August, Boxer Company sells $348,000 in merchandise that has a one year warranty. Experience shows that warranty expenses average about 5% of the selling price. The warranty liability account has a credit balance of $11,000 before adjustment. Customers returned merchandise for warranty repairs during the month that used $7,600 in parts for repairs. The entry to record the estimated warranty expense for the month is:
Answer:
Dr Estimated Warranty Liability $8,600
Cr Spare Parts Inventory $8,600
Explanation:
The estimated warranty claim is worth $7,600 which means that the warranty claim must be debited by this amount as it was previously forecasted to be at $11,000 and in this month, the claim was worth $7,600. So decrease in warranty liability is necessary. Furthermore, the Spare Parts Inventory would be credited as the Spare parts would be used to fix the inventory which must be of $7,600 in value.
The double entry to record Warranty Repairs would be as under:
Dr Estimated Warranty Liability $8,600
Cr Spare Parts Inventory $8,600

the for-profit unionized industries will be less productive. all taxpayers are better off. the union is economically harmful. the for-profit unionized industries will be harmed.
Answer: All taxpayers are better off.
Explanation:
In 2019, 23% of the Federal budget of $4.4 trillion was spent on Social Security which provided retirement benefits for about 45 million retired people. Most of this money came from Federal Revenues which are financed by Tax collections.
If the Unions helped more people secure pension benefits so that when they retire the Federal Government would not have to spend so much taking care of them, it can be argued that the amount of taxes paid by people would be less so all taxpayers would be better off.
Murray Motor Company wants you to calculate its cost of common stock. During the next 12 months, the company expects to pay dividends (D1) of $3.00 per share, and the current price of its common stock is $60 per share. The expected growth rate is 8 percent.
a. Compute the cost of retained earnings (Ke). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Cost of retained earnings___%
b. If a $5 flotation cost is involved, compute the cost of new common stock (Kn). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of new common stock ____%
Answer:
a. Compute the cost of retained earnings (Ke)
$60 = $3 / (Ke - 8%)
Ke - 8% = $3 / $60 = 5%
Ke = 13%
b. If a $5 flotation cost is involved, compute the cost of new common stock (Kn).
$60 (1 - $5/$60) = $3 / (Kn - 8%)
$55 = $3 / (Kn - 8%)
Kn - 8% = $3 / $55 = 5.45%
Kn = 13.45%
Flotation costs reduce the amount of money that the company receives for every new stock that it issues, therefore, it increases the cost of new stocks.

Widgeon Co. manufactures three products: Bales, Tales, and Wales. The selling prices are $55, $78, and $32, respectively. The variable costs for each product are $20, $50, and $15, respectively. Each product must go through the same processing in a machine that is limited to 2,000 hours per month. Bales take 5 hours to process; Tales, 7 hours; and Wales 1 hour. Assuming that Widgeon Co. can sell all of the products it can make, what is the maximum contribution margin it can earn per month
Answer:
$3,400
Explanation:

- Variable costs 20 50 15
Contribution margin 35 28 17
Required hours to process 5 hrs 7 hrs 1 hrs
Contribution margin per hours 7 4 17
Therefore, Widgeon Co. will earn maximum contribution only if it uses all its machine hours for production of wales
Maximum contribution margin = Contribution margin per hour * Number of machine hours
Maximum contribution margin = 17 * 2,000 hours
Maximum contribution margin = $3,400
Assuming that Widgeon Co. can sell all of the products it can make, the maximum contribution margin it can earn per month is $3,400. The difference between the sales price and the variable cost is the contribution margin.
A contribution margin calculates a product's profitability during production. The contribution margin of a business indicates how much income is left over after variable expenditures like raw materials and transportation are subtracted.
A product must have a higher leftover income after variable costs than the business' fixed expenses, such as salaries and insurance, in order to be profitable.

Once a firm reaches the lowest point on the Long Run Average Total Cost Curve then the firm will automatically charge a lower prices for their product or service. The cost analysis model that we studied in Chapter 9 said that this is always the best strategy to effectively capture the maximum market share.
A- True
B- False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
As it is mentioned in the question that When a firm reaches a lowest point on the Long Run Average Total Cost Curve then it automatically charged a less price for the product and services they are rendering to the customer. But this lowest point deals in the only perfect competition also it would not capture the maximum market share but it would result into optimum production and goods supply at minimum price

Answer:
$27,400 and $59,600
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense and the book value using the sum of-the-years'-digits method is shown below:
Depreciation expense is
= (Purchase cost - residual value) × useful life ÷ sum of years
= ($87,000 - $4,800) × 5 years ÷ (5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1)

Cash from jeans
= ( 65 - 36) * 285
= $8,265
Cash from jeans
= (26 - 16) * -420
= -$4,200
As this deals with cash, a tax adjusted depreciation will need to be added back because it is a non cash expense and fixed costs will have to be deducted.
Pre-tax operating cash-flow = 94,600 + 8,265 - 4,200 - 76,000
= $22,665
Post-tax Project Operating cash-flow
= $22,665 * ( 1 - 0.35) + (depreciation * tax)
= $22,665 * ( 1 - 0.35) + (33,000 * 0.35)
= $14,732.25 + 11,550
= $26,282.25
A company purchased $3,500 of merchandise on July 5 with terms 3/10, n/30. On July 7, it returned $700 worth of merchandise. On July 12, it paid the full amount due. Assuming the company uses a perpetual inventory system, and records purchases using the gross method, the correct journal entry to record the payment on July 12 is:
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Accounts payable Dr, $2,800 ($3,500 - $700)
To Merchandise inventory $84 ($2,800 × 0.03)
To Cash $2,716 ($2,800 × (1 - 0.03)
(being the payment is recorded)
Here we debited the accounts payable as it decreased the liabilities and we credited the merchandise inventory and cash as it also decline the assets

This is because when one producer leaves, there will be less supply of the good that is sold, this will eventually lead to a rise in price.
