The Federal Reserve mandates banks and thrifts to deposit in their regional Federal Reserve Bank a fraction of their checkable deposits as:
Answer:
Required Reserves
Explanation:
Fractional banking is a banking system where a portion of customer's deposits is kept as reserves while remaining portion is lent out. The amount kept as reserves is determined by the required reserve ratio set by the Central bank.
Reserves is the total amount of a bank's deposit that is not given out as loans
Reserves = Deposits - outstanding loans
$100,000 - $70,000 = $30,000
there are 2 types of reserves
1. Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits
0.2 x $100,000 = $20,000
2. Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves
$30,000 - $20,000 = $10,000
Roosevelt Corporation has a weighted-average unit contribution margin of $30 for its two products, Standard and Supreme. Expected sales for Roosevelt are 40,000 Standard and 60,000 Supreme. Fixed expenses are $1,800,000. How many Standards would Roosevelt sell at the break-even point?
A. 36,000
B. 40,000
C. 60,000
D. 24,000
Answer:
D. 24,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many Standards would Roosevelt sell at the break-even point
First step
Total sales = 40000 + 60000
Total sales= 100000 units
Second step
Standard = 40000 / 100000
Standard= 0.4
Third step
Supreme = 60000 / 100000
Supreme= 0.6
Fourth step
Overall break even in units = 1800000 / 30
Overall break even in units= 60000 units
Now let calculate the Standards sales at break even point
Standards sales at break even point = 60000 *
0.4
Standards sales at break even point =24000 units
Therefore the Standards sales at break even point is 24000 units
implications of game theory
Answer:
Game Theory is a general mathematical analysis to investigate the strategic interactions among players. Game theorists attempt to provide precise descriptions of situations of conflicting interests in order to study the behavior that such a conflict would (or, in some cases, should) elicit from rational agents. Players are assumed to consider the position and perceptions of other players while forming their strategies. In our examples, we will assume that there are two players, and that each has two choices and the fact that the players are selfish (operate in their own best interests) and rational .
Limitations of Game Theory :
The biggest issue with game theory is that, like most other economic models, it relies on the assumption that people are rational actors that are self-interested and utility-maximizing. Of course, we are social beings who do cooperate and do care about the welfare of others, often at our own expense. Game theory cannot account for the fact that in some situations we may fall into a Nash equilibrium, and other times not, depending on the social context and who the players are.

The Molding Department of Boswell Company has the following production data: beginning work process 40,000 units (60% complete), started into production 730,000 units, completed and transferred out 690,000 units, and ending work in process 80,000 units (40% complete). Assuming conversion costs are incurred uniformly during the process, the equivalent units for conversion costs are:
Answer: 770,000 units
Explanation:
The Equivalent units for Conversion cost is calculated as:
= Total units completed and transferred out + Equivalent units of closing work in process
As the conversion costs were incurred uniformly during the process, the entire closing work in process would have already incurred conversion cost. Conversion cost closing equivalent units are therefore 80,000 units.
Equivalent units for Conversion cost = 690,000 + 80,000
= 770,000 units

You buy a 12-year 10% annual coupon bond at par value, $1,000. You sell the bond 3 years later for $1,100. What is your total rate of return over this 3-year period?
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
Coupon per year = Face Value * Coupon Rate
Coupon per year = $1,000 * 10%
Coupon per year = $1,000 * 0.10
Coupon per year = $100
Total Coupon in 3 years = Coupon per year * 3 years
Total Coupon in 3 years = $100 * 3 years
Total Coupon in 3 years = $300
Rate of return = [(Selling Price - Face Value) + Coupon Received] / Face Value*100
Rate of return = [[($1,100 - $1,000) + $300] / 1000] *100
Rate of return = [[$100 + $300] / $1000] * 100
Rate of return = $400 / $1000 * 100
Rate of return = 0.40
Rate of return = 40%

True or false. The primary functions of price in a free market are to inform, direct, and motivate consumers and firms.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Prices in a free market co-ordinate the buying and selling decisions in the market. In their rationing role, prices inform the distribution of goods and other resources throughout the economy. Prices motivate firms by acting as incentives that provide a standard of measure of value throughout the world. Prices direct producers and consumers, thereby acting as signals to educate producers and consumers on how to adjust their production and consumption decisions.

A company had cash sales of $49,527, credit sales of $38,540, sales returns and allowances of $7,100 and sales discounts of $4,375. The company's net sales for this period equals what? (I added cash sales and credit sales. Then I subtracted sales returns and allowances and sales discounts. Not sure if my calculations are correct.) Please explain your answers.
Answer:
The company's net sales for this period equal to $76,592
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the total sales using the following formula
Total Sales = Cash Sales + Credit sales
Where
Cash Sales = $49,527
Credit sales = $38,540
Placing values in the formula
Total Sales = $49,527 + $38,540
Total Sales = $88,067
Now use the following formula to calculate the net sales
Net Sales = Total Sales - Sales returns and allowances - Sales discount
Where
Total Sales = $88,067
Sales returns and allowances = $7,100
Sales discount = $4,375
Placing values in the formula
Net Sales = $88,067 - $7,100 - $4,375
Net Sales = $76,592
LB Limited is a price taker in a perfectly competitive market. It produces and sells canned spices. The following information is available for the company: Current output 5000 units Current market price $3 Total cost $25,000 Marginal cost $3 Total variable cost $20,000 What is the best action for LB limited? a) Operating in the short run and in the long run b) Increase output in the short run and in the long run c) Shut down in the short run and exit in the long run d) Shut down in the short run and produce in the long run e) Reduce output in the short run and increase output in the long run
Answer:
The answer is "Option c".
Explanation:
In this question c, the short-term Shut - down as well as the long-term departure. Since overall revenues are lower than the entire variable cost, it means that a producer is not capable of covering the variable cost, thus stopping the output in the short term and the business leaving it market on account of losses inside the long term.

Answer the following questions. Write your final answer only (without intermediate steps) for the fill-in-the-blank questions.
Question 2 (2 points) The holding cost (H) = $ A/ per unit per year. Use 2-decimal accuracy for the final answer, e.g., 0.12, when necessary.
Question 3 (2 points) The economic order quantity (EOQ) = units. Round the final answer (if it is not an integer) to the nearest integer.
Question 4 (2 points) Based on the EOQ, the average inventory = A units. Round the final answer (if it is not an integer) to the nearest integer.
Question 5 (2 points) A/ Total annual inventory holding cost = $ . Round the final answer (if it is not an integer) to the nearest integer.
Question 6 (2 points) The optimal number of orders per year = A orders. Round the final answer (if it is not an integer) to the nearest integer.
Question 7 (2 points) Total annual inventory cost (excluding the purchase cost) = $ A Round the final answer (if it is not an integer) to the nearest integer
Question 8 (2 points) A units. Round Reorder point (ROP) = the final answer (if it is not an integer) to the nearest integer.
Question 9 (2 points) If the management decides to order 2,000 units (instead of the EOQ quantity obtained above) per order, the total annual inventory cost (excluding the purchase cost) = $ A Round the final answer (if it is not an integer) to the nearest integer.
Answer:
2. holding cost is $2
3. EOQ = 500 units
4. Average inventory = 250units
5. total annual hoding cost = $500
6. number of orders is 4
7. total annual inventory = $1000
8. reorder point = 48
9. $2125
Explanation:
2. holding cost = 20% * $10
the holding cost is 20 percent of the purchase price for each unit
= 0.2*10
= $2.00
3. the EOQ
= 2*2000*$125/$2
= 250000
[tex]EOQ=\sqrt{250000}[/tex]
= 500 units
4.average inventory = EOQ/2
= 500/2 = 250 units
5. total annual hoding cost = average inventory * holding cost
= 250*2
= $500
6. number of orders= 2000 units/EOQ
= 2000/500
= 4 0rders
7. total annual inventory cost = ordering cost annual + holding cost annual
ordering annual cost = 2000/500*125
= 500
total annual inventory cost = 500 + 500 = $1000
8. reorder point
wwe first calculate the daily demand; = 2000/250 = 8
ROP = 8*6 = 48
9. annual ordring = 2000/2000 * 125
= $125
annual holding = 2000/2 * holding cost of $2
= $2000
total annual inventory = 125 + 2000
= $2125
would you recommend that accountants wait until collections are made from customers before recording sales revenue
Answer: No
Explanation:
Accounting currently uses the Accrual basis and this is the best basis to use so far because it records revenue when they are earned not when the actual money comes in.
In doing this, the company is able to properly ascertain the revenue that it made in a particular period. If a company were to wait until collections were made, the company might wait for over one period to record their sales which would not be very helpful in calculating income for the period.
Also if companies waited to record only after sales, people not paying and becoming doubtful debts become a headache to record.
Your subscription to BusinessWeek is about to expire. You plan to subscribe to the magazine for the rest of your life. You can renew it by paying $50 annually, beginning immediately, or you can get a lifetime subscription for $500, also payable immediately. Assuming that you can earn 6.525% on your funds and that the annual renewal rate will remain constant, how many years must you live to make the lifetime subscription the better buy?
a) 7.48.
b) 8.80.
c) 10.35.
d) 12.18.
e) 14.33.
Answer: 15 years
Explanation:
The number of years that would make the lifetime subscription a better buy would be the one that would cause the present value of paying $50 per year to equal $500.
You can use the NPER function on Excel to find this out.
Rate = 6.525%
Pmt = 50
Pv = -500
Fv = 0
Type = 1 because payment begins immediately.

A bond has a modified duration of 8 and a price of 112,955 calculated using an annual effective interest rate of 6.4%. EMAC is the estimated price of this bond at an interest rate of 7.0% using the first-order Macaulay approximation EMOD is the estimated price of this bond at an interest rate of 7.0% using the first-order modified approximation Calculate EC EMOD A. 91 B. 102 C. 116 D. 127 E. 143
Answer:
Option E (143) is the appropriate solution.
Explanation:
According to the question,
The modified duration will be:
= [tex]\frac{Macaulay \ duration}{(1+yield)}[/tex]
= [tex]8\times 1.064[/tex]
= [tex]8.512[/tex]
The percentage change in price will be:
= [tex]-0.6\times 8 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]-4.8[/tex] (%)
Now,
The EMOD will be:
= [tex]112955\times (1-4.8 \ percent)[/tex]
= [tex]107533.2[/tex] ($)
Or,
The EMAC will be:
= [tex]112955\times (\frac{1.064}{1.07} )^{8.512}[/tex]
= [tex]107675.7[/tex] ($)
Hence,
⇒ [tex]EMOD-EMAC=107533.2-107675.7[/tex]
[tex]=-142.5[/tex]
⇒ [tex]EMAC-EMOD=143[/tex]
Chavez Corporation reported the following data for the month of July: Inventories: Beginning Ending Raw materials $ 36,000 $ 34,500 Work in process $ 20,500 $ 26,000 Finished goods $ 36,500 $ 51,500 Additional information: Raw materials purchases $ 70,500 Direct labor cost $ 95,500 Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 63,500 Indirect materials included in manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 9,800 Manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process $ 62,500 Any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold. The cost of goods manufactured for July is:
Answer:
Cost of goods manufactured= $214,700
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the direct material used:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 36,000 + 70,500 - 34,500
Direct material used= $72,000
Now, we can determine the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 20,500 + 72,000 + 95,500 + (62,500 - 9,800) - 26,000
cost of goods manufactured= $214,700

The life of a sole proprietorship is limited. A sole proprietor can generally raise large sums of capital quite easily. Transferring ownership of a sole proprietorship is easier than transferring ownership of a corporation. A sole proprietorship is taxed the same as a C corporation. A sole proprietorship is the most regulated form of organization.
Answer: The life of a sole proprietorship is limited.
Explanation:
A sole proprietorship simply means a one man business where the owner manages, controls the business and enjoys the profits alone.
A sole proprietorship has a limited liability as its life is limited. Normally, the death of the owner would result in the end of the business and the owner bears the loss alone.
A A sole proprietorship is not taxed the same as a C corporation and it isn't the most regulated form of organization.
The model of competitive markets relies on these three core assumptions:
1. There must be many buyers and sellers-a few players can't dominate the market.
2. Firms must produce an identical product-buyers must regard all sellers' products as equivalent.
3. Firms and resources must be fully mobile, allowing for free entry into and exit from the industry.
The first two conditions imply that all consumers and firms are price takers. While the third is not necessary for price-taking behavior, assume for this problem that a market cannot maintain competition in the long run without free entry.
Identify whether or not each of the following scenarios describes a competitive market, along with the correct explanation of why or why not.
Scenario Competitive

5. The government has granted a patent to a pharmaceutical company for an experimental AIDS drug. That company is the only firm permitted to sell the drug.
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
For point 1:
No, not the same thing Because the product is not the same, the marketplace is monopolistic and not completely competitive.
For point 2:
No, not a bunch of salespeople Because the product is the same any maker wishes to enter into the market, the competitive market also does not mean that only two vendors and not so many sellers present in the market.
For point 3 and 4:
Yes, it is aggressive algebra upon on market Same students and several teaching qualities everywhere.
For point 5:
No, no free admissionm, it was not a regulated business. The rationale would be that the entrance to the market via patent rights is restrained by the state.

Dong Wang wants to retire when he has saved $1,500,000. He can make 30 payments of $15,000 each, with each payment made at the beginning of the year. What would be the interest rate required to help him achieve his goal
Answer: 6.94%
Explanation:
You can use an Excel worksheet to solve for this:
Number of periods = 30
Payment = 15,000 (should be a negative number)
Present value = 0
Future value = 1,500,000
Type = 1 (this shows that it is an annuity due because payments are at the beginning of the year).
Rate = 6.94%
g dividends paid 13500. what was the net income for the past year of the firm faces a tax rate of 30%
Answer:
A.) £27,214.29
B.) £19,250
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Andy £13500
Bevan £27500
Cheryl £13250
Deva £75000
Elliott £18750
Frankie £27500
Grace £15000
Mean income = (total sum of salaries / number of workers)
Mean income = £(13500 + 27500 + 13250 + 75000 + 18750 + 27500 + 15000) / 7
Mean income = (£190,500 / 7) = £27,214.286
B.) mean income excluding Deva's salary:
Mean income = Mean income = £(13500 + 27500 + 13250 + 18750 + 27500 + 15000) / 7
Mean income = £115,500 / 6
Mean income = £19,250
Vextra Corporation is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $38,000.The projected annual cash inflow is $11,600, to be received at the end of each year.The machine has a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value.Vextra requires a 12% return on its investments.The present value of an annuity of $1 for different periods follows:Periods 12 Percent1 0.89292 1.69013 2.40184 3.0373What is the net present value of the machine (rounded to the nearest whole dollar)?a. $(35,233).b. $(2,767).c. $38,000.d. $(3,700).e. $5,233.
Answer:
b. $(2,767).
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below:
= Present cash flows - initial investment
= ($11,600 × 3.0373) - $38,000
= $35,232.68 - $38,000
= -$2,767.32
= -$2,767
Hence, the option b is correct
We simply applied the above formula to determine the net present value
Cyclical unemployment arises when:______.

D
Explanation:
types of unemployment
structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition. Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.
The geologist lost his hob permanently due to increase in wages (polices)
Frictional unemployment: the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
Voluntary unemployment: e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.
Cyclical unemployment: it occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy. Unemployment would be high in a downturn and low in a boom
One thousand dollars is invested at 5% continuous annual interest. this means the value of the investment will grow exponentially, with k equaling the decimal rate of interest. What will the value of the investment be after 7 1/2 years?
a. $1, 375.00.
b. $375.00.
c. $1, 454.99.
d. $454.99.
In a small open economy, output (gross domestic product) is $25 billion, government purchases are $6 billion, and net factor payments from abroad are zero. Desired consumption and desired investment are related to the world real interest rate in the following manner:
World Real Interest Rate Desired Consumption Desired Investment
5% $12 billion $3 billion
4% $13 billion $4 billion
3% $14 billion $5 billion
2% $15 billion $6 billion
For each value of the world real interest rate, find national saving, foreign lending, and absorption. Calculate net exports as the difference between output and absorption. What is the relationship between net exports and foreign lending?
Answer:
Consumption is given.
Investment is also given.
Government spending is $6 billion.
GDP is $25 billion.
National Saving = GDP - Consumption - Government spending
Foreign lending = Savings - Investment
Absorption = Consumption + Investment + Government spending
Net Exports = GDP - Absorption
The relationship/ correlation between Net Exports and Foreign Lending is one that is perfectly positive as both measures are exactly the same.
