Answer: $3,455
Explanation:
The interest received by Smith can be calculated as;
Interest Value = Present value of lease payment * interest rate
Present Value of interest rate
Ten annual lease payments of $12,000 are due each year beginning July 1, 2021.
That means first payment has been made already. Present value is;
= 81,100 - 12,000
= $69,100
Only half a year has gone by so this will need to be reflected;
Interest Value = Present value of lease payment * interest rate
= 69,100 * 10% * 6/12
= $3,455

Steady Company's stock has a beta of . If the risk-free rate is and the market risk premium is , what is an estimate of Steady Company's cost of equity?
The question is incomplete as it misses the figures. The following is the complete question.
Steady Company's stock has a beta of 0.21. If the risk-free rate is 6.2% and the market risk premium is 6.9%, what is an estimate of Steady Company's cost of equity?
Answer:
The cost of equity is 0.07649 or 7.649%
Explanation:
The required rate of return or cost of equity capital is the rate required by the investors to invest in a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as measure by the beta. The required rate of return or cost of equity can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The CAPM equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRf is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketr = 0.062 + 0.21 * 0.069
r = 0.07649 or 7.649%
Fed is open to changing bond policy Fed policymakers signaled for the first time that they could increase or decrease stimulation of the economy in the future, but not now. Source: Los Angeles Times, May 1, 2013 What are the ripple effects and time lags that the Fed must consider in deciding when to increase or decrease stimulation of the economy?
Answer:
When the Fed raises the federal funds rate, the inflation rate decreases about two years later.
Explanation:
When trying to stimulate the economy either by increasing or decreasing, policymakers have to take into consideration how it would effect interest rate, amount of money available in the economy, loans that would be acquired by banks and the behavior of interest rate.
Interest rate can be impacted quickly even though the period of time it would take for such action to have a reflection on what quantity of money is available in the economy. Then also a period of 2 years would be taken for this action to take effect on inflation.
Therefore
When the Fed raises the federal funds rate, the inflation rate decreases about two years later.
Q3) Creative Sports Design (CSD) manufactures a standard-size racket and an oversize racket. The firm’s rackets are extremely light due to the use of a magnesium-graphite alloy that was invented by the firm’s founder. Each standard-size racket uses 0.125 kilograms of the alloy and each oversize racket uses 0.4 kilograms; over the next two-week production period only 80 kilograms of the alloy are available. Each standard-size racket uses 10 minutes of manufacturing time and each oversize racket uses 12 minutes. The profit contributions are $10 for each standard-size racket and $15 for each oversize racket, and 40 hours of manufacturing time are available each week. Management specified that at least 20% of the total production must be the standard-size racket. How many rackets of each type should CSD manufacture over the next two weeks to maximize the total profit contribution? Assume that because of the unique nature of their products, CSD can sell as many rackets as they can produce.
Answer:
165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)
42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)
total profit contribution = (165 x $15) + (42 x $10) = $2,895
Explanation:
materials machine hours profit
standard size 0.125 kg 1/6 $10
oversize 0.4 kg 1/5 $15
constraints 80 kilograms of materials
40 hours of manufacturing
profit per machine hour:
standard size $10 x 6 = $60 x 40 hours = $2,400 (total possible production = 240 rackets)
oversize $15 x 5 = $75 x 40 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)
profit per kilogram of alloy:
standard size $10 / 0.125 = $80 x 80 kgs = $6,400 (total possible production = 480 rackets)
oversize $15 / .4 = $37.50 x 80 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)
since the most important constraint is the manufacturing hours available, the company should try to produce the products that yield the highest contribution margin per machine hour. In this case, at least 20% of total production must be standard size rackets, so the remaining 80% should be oversize rackets that yield a higher profit.
165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)
42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)
total manufacturing time = 40 hours
if we produce 166 oversize rackets and 41 standard size rackets, total manufacturing time will exceed 40 hours (40.03 hours exactly).

TB MC Qu. 9-251 Turrubiates Corporation makes a product that ... Turrubiates Corporation makes a product that uses a material with the following standards: Standard quantity 6.7 liters per unit Standard price $ 1.20 per liter Standard cost $ 8.04 per unit The company budgeted for production of 2,500 units in April, but actual production was 2,600 units. The company used 18,000 liters of direct material to produce this output. The company purchased 18,800 liters of the direct material at $1.30 per liter. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The materials quantity variance for April is:
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $696 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard quantity 6.7 liters per unit
Standard price $ 1.20 per liter
Actual production was 2,600 units.
The company used 18,000 liters of direct material to produce this output.
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 6.7*2,600= 17,420
Direct material quantity variance= (17,420 - 18,000)*1.2
Direct material quantity variance= $696 unfavorable
Geese Company utilizes the LIFO retail inventory method. Its cost-to-retail percentage is 60% based on beginning inventory and 64% based on current-period purchases. The company determined that beginning inventory at retail was $200,000 and that during the current period a new layer was added with retail value of $50,000. The cost of ending inventory should be
Answer:
$152,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the cost of the ending inventory
First step is to calculate the cost-to-retail percentage of the beginning inventory amount
Using this formula
Beginning Inventory =Cost-to-retail percentage*Beginning inventory at retail
Let plug in the formula
Beginning Inventory =60%*$200,000
Beginning Inventory =$120,000
Second step is to calculate current-period purchases percentage of the new layer amount
Using this formula
Current period purchases= Purchases percentage* New layer
Let plug in the formula
Current period purchases=64%*50,000
Current period purchases=$32,000
The last step is to find the cost of the ending inventory using this formula
Ending inventory cost=Beginning Inventory+Current period purchases
Let plug in the formula
Ending inventory cost=$120,000+$32,000
Ending inventory cost=$152,000
Therefore the cost of the ending inventory will be $152,000

Explanation:
The advantages of using typedef do not include:a. Making programs more portable by allowing data types to be easily changed to meet system specifications.b. Making type names shorter.c. Making programs more readable.d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Answer:
d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Explanation:
In the programming language C and C++ there is a keyword i.e typedef that function is to provide a new name. It is to be used to develop an extra name for the other data type but it does not develop a new data type
Here the advantage of using typedef is as follows
1. It allows the data types for meeting the specifications of the system
2. The name would become shorter
3. Readable program
but it does not increase the efficiency
Hence, the last option is correct

You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 14 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 5.1 percent. Assume semiannual compounding periods. What is the price of the bond
Answer:
Bond Price = $4940.8468 rounded off to $4940.85
Explanation:
The price of a zero coupon bond is simply calculated by calculating the present value of the face value of the bond that the bond pays at maturity. The formula for the price of a zero coupon bond is,
Bond Price = Face Value / ( 1 + r )^n
Where,
r is the rate or YTM n is the number of periods left to maturityAssuming that the r or YTM is always stated in annual terms, the semi annual YTM will be 5.1% / 2 = 2.55%
Assuming semi annual compounding periods, the total number of periods or n will be,
n = 14 * 2 = 28
Bond Price = 10000 / (1 + 0.0255)^28
Bond Price = $4940.8468 rounded off to $4940.85

Which of these conditions helped establish the foundation for a market revolution in the United States
Question Completion:
Choices: Rapid improvements in transportation and communication; the production of goods for a cash market; and the use of inventions and innovations to produce goods for a mass market.
Answer:
The condition that helped to establish the foundation for a market revolution in the United States is:
Rapid improvements in transportation and communication
Explanation:
Rapid improvements in transportation and communication spurred innovations. With innovations, capitalism was born. Innovations needed factories for mass production. In turn, according to American History, "factories and mass production increasingly displaced individual artisans and farmers," who survived at subsistent levels. Large farms grew and produced crops for distant markets, no longer only for family and local markets. Most of the crops were further processed, packaged, preserved, and shipped through cheap transportation systems like the Erie Canal, using steamboats. And the rest, they say, is history.
Assume you have a margin account with a 50% initial margin. You purchase 100 shares of stock at $80 per share. The price increases to $100 per share. What is the net value of your investment (margin) now
Answer:
Net value of the investment (margin) is $6,000
Explanation:
The initial margin = (100 shares * $80) * 50%
The initial margin = $4,000
Increase in the Margin value = 100 shares* ($100-$80)
Increase in the Margin value = 100 shares * $20
Increase in the Margin value =$2,000
Net value of the investment (margin) = $4,000 + $2,000
Net value of the investment (margin) = $6,000
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
Which one of these is the best description of a comparative market analysis? It shows what similar homes in the area have recently sold for It shows the list prices of similar homes in the area It’s a guide to the minimum acceptable offer It discloses issues with the home that are known to the seller
Answer:
It shows what similar homes in the area have recently sold for.
Explanation:
Answer:
The statement "It shows the same types of homes in the area that are presently sold" is considered to be the best description for the comparative market analysis.
Explanation:
A comparative market analysis is a tool that is used by the real estate agent in order to remove the value of the particular property via evaluation of the same types of homes that could be presently sold in a similar area.
For finding the best description regarding the comparative market analysis, we need to determine the following information:
It does not show the list prices of the same types of homes in the area.It does not guide for a minimum acceptable offer.Also, it does not disclose the issues for the income that are aware to the seller.Therefore we can conclude that the first statement is correct

DPMO stands for:______
a) Defects Per Million Opportunity
b) Defectives Per Million Opportunity
c) Data Per Million Opportunity
d) all of the above
e) none of the above
Answer:
a) Defects Per Million Opportunity
Explanation:
DPMO is an acronym which stands for Defects Per Million Opportunity. Defects per Million Opportunities refers to a standard metric which represents the number of defects in a process per one million opportunities.
In order to calculate the DPMO, we divide the number of defects by the number of opportunities and then multiply by a million.
Additionally, when a quality characteristics or properties do not tally with a standard or specifications it is generally referred to as a defect.
Hence, in a six sigma approach to quality or level of performance, the defects per million opportunities (DPMO) is 3.4.
Suppose you invested in the Ishares High Yield Fund (HYG) a month ago. It paid a dividend of today and then you sold it for . What was your dividend yield and capital gains yield on the investment?
Complete Question:
Suppose you invested $100 in the Ishares High Yield Fund HYG your dividend yield and capital gains yield on the investment?
It paid a dividend of $2 today and then you sold it for $95. What was Dividend Yield and Capital Gains Yield on the investment?
Answer:
Dividend Yield is 2%
Capital Gains Yield is -5%
Explanation:
Dividend Yield:
We can calculate the Dividend Yield using the following formula:
Dividend Yield = D0 / Initial Stock Price
Here
D1 was Dividend paid just now and is $2 per share
Initial Stock Price before the dividend payment was $100 per share
By putting values, we have:
Dividend Yield = $2 per share / $100 per share = 2%
Capital Gains Yield:
We can find capital gains yield by using following formula:
Capital Gains Yield = (P1 - P0) / P0
Here
P1 is $95
P0 is $100
By putting values we have:
Capital Gains Yield = ($95 - $100) / $100 = -5%
