Answer:
B. The financial advisor is prohibited from acting as the underwriter
Explanation:
As per the rule of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, the financial advisor cannot be the underwriter.
The financial advisor for a municipality is paying the advisory fee for assisting the structure of the municipality in order to the issuance of the new bond so that the less interest cost to be paid.
But in the case of the underwriter, it contains high rate of interest as it is very easiest way for selling
So through this, the conflict arises between these two parties
Therefore option B is correct

As the correlation between assets falls... Group of answer choices portfolio variance is not affected by correlation portfolio variance falls portfolio variance rises
Answer:
The correct answer is C) Portfolio Variance rises.
Explanation:
The association between two assets reflects the degree to which both assets are related. As the correlation between two assets decreases, the variation in portfolios increases.

Piedmont Hotels is an all-equity company. Its stock has a beta of 1.23. The market risk premium is 6.9 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.7 percent. The company is considering a project that it considers riskier than its current operations so it wants to apply an adjustment of 1.9 percent to the project's discount rate. What should the firm set as the required rate of return for the project
Answer:
The required rate of return for the project will be 13.087%
Explanation:
To calculate the required rate of return for the project, we must first calculate the required rate of return for the firm's equity. The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM or Capital Asset Pricing Model equation. The formula for required rate of return (r) under this model is,
r = rRf + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketr = 0.027 + 1.23 * 0.069
r = 0.11187 or 11.187%
The discount rate that is usually used for an all equity firm is its required rate of return. Thus, the required rate of return for the project will be,
r = 0.11187 + 0.019
r = 0.13087 or 13.087%

Reed Company is in the process of preparing its financial statements for 2022. During 2022, Reed changed from the double-declining balance method for its building to the straight-line method. The building originally cost $900,000. It had an original useful life of 25 years and a salvage value of $60,000. Purchase date was 1/1/20. The 2022 depreciation expense for the building will be:
Answer:
$30,511.30
Explanation:
The double declining method was used for two years
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 /25 = 0.08
Depreciation expense in 2020 = 0.08 x $900,000 = $72,000
Book value = $900,000 - $72,000 = $828,000
Depreciation expense in 2021 = 0.08 x $828,000 = $66,240
book value = $828,000 - $66,240 = $761,760
Straight line depreciation expense = (book value - Salvage value) / useful life
useful life = 25 - 2 = 23
book value = $761,760
salvage value = $60,000.
( $761,760 - $60,000. ) / 23 = $30,511.30
The depreciation expense for the remaining useful life of the asset would $30,511.30

You borrow $25,000 to be repaid in 24 monthly installments of $1,212.17. The annual interest rate is closest to:
Answer:
15%
Explanation:
For computing the annual interest rate we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below;
Given that,
Present value = $25,000
Future value or Face value = $0
PMT = $1,212.17
NPER = 24 months
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula,
The annual interest rate is
= 1.25% × 12 months
= 15%

Explanation:
A competitive pressure in business management can be defined as the degree of competition faced by a firm which involves the process of seeking to have a significant share of the available customers and market in a specific industry.
Firms that compete in the global marketplace typically face two types of competitive pressures, namely, the pressures for global integration and local responsiveness.
A global integration can be defined as the degree to which a particular firm can make use of the available resources, products and methods in another country.

pryor frosted flakes company offers its customers a pottery cereal bowl if they send in 4 boxtops from flakes boxes and $1.00. The company estimates that 60% of the boxtops will be redeemed. In 2007, the company sold 500,000 boxes and costumers redeemed 220,000 boxtops receiving 55,000 bowls. if the bowls cost 2.50 each, how much liabilitiy for outstanding premiums should be recorded at the end od 2007?
Answer: $30,000
Explanation:
Company estimates that 60% of boxtops will be redeemed.
They sold 500,000 boxes
= 500,000 * 60%
= 300,000 boxtops will be sent in.
So far, 220,000 have been sent in. How many left;
= 300,000 - 220,000
= 80,000 boxtops are still to be sent in
4 boxtops are needed to receive a pottery bowl so with 80,000;
= 80,000/4
= 20,000 pottery bowls are due to be issued.
Each bowl costs $2.50 to make. Customers will send in $1 however so effectively it will cost the company;
= 2.50 - 1
= $1.50
With 20,000 still left to be issued, each costing $1.50, the total liabilitiy for outstanding premiums to be recorded at the end of 2007 is;
= 20,000 * 1.5
= $30,000
What is the difference between full absorption costing and variable costing?A. In full absorption costing, all of the non-manufacturing costs are expensed. In variable costing, all of the non-manufacturing expenses are included in the cost of the product.B. In full absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed. In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is included in the cost of the product.C. In full absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is included in the cost of the product. In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed.D. Variable costing must be used for external financial reports while full absorption costing can only be used for internal reporting.
Answer: C. In full absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is included in the cost of the product. In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed.
Explanation:
Full absorption costing accounts for all the costs involved in making a product including the indirect and the direct costs. That means both variable costs like direct materials and direct labor as well as fixed costs like rent, and insurance are included in the cost of the product.
Variable costing on the other hand expenses fixed manufacturing overhead separately. As a result, Full absorption has a higher cost of inventory than does Variable costing.
Which of the following is an example of a disruptive innovation?
Answer: C. Use of smartphones with Internet access replacing use of landlines
Explanation:
A disruptive innovation is one that when initiated, has a significant effect on the way an industry works such that if participants do not adapt, they will probably find themselves at a disadvantage.
An example is how digital photography replaced the use of chemicals to print photographs and also how video streaming online replaced the need for video rentals from shops which led to the closure of shops like Blockbuster.
For this question, the use of smartphones which also have internet access instead of landlines is a disruptive innovation. Smartphones provide a very convenient means to communicate with others in more ways than a landline could especially with it's access to the internet. This saw most people moving away from the use of landlines in favor of smartphones.
The correct option to an example of disruptive innovation will be use of smartphones with internet access replacing the use of landlines. The correct option is C.
Disruptive innovation refers to a condition where the innovation of a product completely destroys the purpose of the existing technology in such a way that the usage of such product almost becomes extinct.
The landlines were an important innovation for humans as it enabled the wired routes to communicate with people on their unique line. It saved a lot of time and manpower.This invention itself was a disruptive invention as it replaced the letter and postcards for communication. However, with the invention of smartphones with internet access enabled wireless communication.The invention of a smartphone with internet access were not restricted just to calling but important features like texting, instant messaging, surfing, browsing and sending multimedia files as well.
Hence, the correct option is C that the use of smartphones with internet access replaced the use of landlines is an example of disruptive innovation.

What best explains why a firm's ratio of long-term debt/total capital is lower than the industry average, while the ratio of income before interest and taxes/debt interest charges is higher than the industry average
Answer:
The lower ratio of long-term debt to total capital is explained by the fact that the company is not highly geared or leveraged in comparison to the industry average firm.
This also explains why the ratio of income before interest and taxes to the debt interest charges is higher than the industry average because the firm does not pay so much in interest expense as the average firm in its industry.
Explanation:
Company X's leverage determines its ratio of long-term debts to total capital. If Company X has large long-term debts it will have a higher long-term debts to total capital ratio and vice versa. In that situation, Company X will also pay more in interest, causing its ratio of income before interest and taxes to the interest charges to be higher than the industry average, and vice versa.
Calculate gross profit ratio and cost of goods sold Refer to the consolidated statements of earnings in the Campbell Soup Company annual report in the appendix.
Required:
a. Calculate the gross profit ratio for each of the past three years.
b. Assume that Campbell's net sales for the first four months of 2015 totaled 527 billion. Calculate an estimated cost of goods sold and gross profit for the four months.
Answer:
gross profit ratio = (total revenue - cost of goods sold) / total revenue
I looked for the missing information:
year total sales cost of goods sold
2012 $7,175 $4,365
2013 $8,052 $5,140
2014 $8,268 $5,370
a)
gross profit ratio:
2012 = ($7,175 - $4,365) / $7,175 = 39.16%
2013 = ($8,052 - $5,140) / $8,052 = 36.16%
2014 = ($8,268 - $5,370) / $8,268 = 35.05%
b)
since the gross profit margin ratio is decreasing every year, we can assume that it will keep decreasing in 2015. Using linear regression, the slope is -0.02055. So the estimated gross profit margin ratio for 2015 = 34.33%
estimated cogs (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x (1 - 34.33%) = $346.08 billion
estimated gross profit (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x 34.33% = $180.92 billion

"A mutual fund manager of a "high technology" fund feels that the market for this sector will remain flat in the next coming months and he wishes to generate some additional income against his portfolio. The best strategy is to sell:"
Answer: C. narrow-based calls
Explanation:
Narrow based calls would include calls from one industry. The mutual fund is an "High technology" firm which means that it is a narrow based fund for instance as it is interested only in one industry being the High Tech industry.
The manager should invest in Narrow based calls that focus on the sector if he anticipates that the market will remain flat for the sector. Narrow based Calls are more volatile because they are specific and with the volatility comes higher premiums to be charged.
Should he wish to make income against the portfolio, he should sell these knowing that the options will not be called as the market will remain flat.

b. allowing for competition among different firms in the water-distribution industry is efficient.
c. average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.
d. multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes.
Answer:
d. multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes.
Explanation:
Option a is wrong because:
The initial investment is very high, therefore, the more firms competing will only increase the required investments and fixed costs associated with them, e.g. depreciation, maintenance. That is why the lowest average costs is generally achieved when only one firm serves this type of market.
Option b is wrong because:
A natural monopoly exists because it is extremely difficult for two or more competing firms to exist. Generally the required investment is very high, and the revenues are not large enough to allow two or more firms to compete.
Option c is wrong because:
Utilities require large initial investments, but once they are set up, the production costs are very small. I.e. the fixed costs are more relevant than the variable costs. Average production costs as decrease as the quantity produced increases.

= Dividend in year 4× (1.06)/(0.1-0.06)
2.28 × 1.08^3 × 1.07/(0.13-0.07)= 51.220
step 2 : PV in year 0 terms =
PV in year 3 × 1.1^(-3)
=51.220 × 1.13^(-3)= 35.498
Value of stock = 2.179 +2.083 +1.991 + 35.498 = 41.75
Value of stock = $41.75

Ship Co. produces storage crates that require 37.0 meters of material at $0.50 per meter and 0.10 direct labor hours at $12.00 per hour. Overhead is applied at the rate of $18 per direct labor hour. What is the total standard cost for one unit of product that would appear on a standard cost card
Answer:
Standard cost per unit= $21.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Ship Co. produces storage crates that require 37.0 meters of material at $0.50 per meter
0.10 direct labor hours at $12.00 per hour.
Overhead is applied at the rate of $18 per direct labor hour.
We need to determine the standard cost per unit:
Direct material= 37*0.5= 18.5
Direct labor= 0.1*12= 1.2
Manufacturing overhead= 0.1*18= 1.8
Standard cost per unit= $21.5
What's the future value of an investment of $1 a year for each of 4 years, at the end of the last year? Suppose the interest rate is 8%.
Answer:
4.51
Explanation:
We have to calculate fva. The future value of annuity
Here is the formula
Fva = A [( + I)^n-1/I]
Where a = annuity
I = interest rate
N = number of years
Inserting into formula
1[(1+0.08)^4 - 1/0.08]
= 1[(1.36049 - 1)/0.08]
= 4.51
Therefore the future investment is $4.51
