Answer:
a. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 20Y2
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
395,000 = Equity + 97,000
Equity = 395,000 - 97,000
= $298,000
b. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 20Y3.
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
(395,000 - 65,000) = Equity + (97,000 + 36,000)
330,000 = Equity + 133,000
Equity = 330,000 - 133,000
= $197,000

If the nominal interest rate is 5% and the inflation rate is 3%, what is the real interest rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
The real interest rate is "3%".
Explanation:
Given:
Nominal interest rate,
n = 5%
Inflation rate,
i = 3%
As we know,
⇒ [tex](1+n) = (1+r)\times (1+i)[/tex]
or,
⇒ [tex](1+r)=\frac{(1+n)}{(1+i)}[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
[tex](1+r)=\frac{1+0.05}{1+0.03}[/tex]
[tex](1+r)=\frac{1.05}{1.03}[/tex]
[tex](1+r)=1.029[/tex]
[tex]r=1.029-1[/tex]

Explanation:
A monopolist, unlike a competitive firm, has some market power. It can raise its price, within limits, without the quantity demanded falling to zero. The main way it retains its market power is through barriers to entry—that is, other companies cannot enter the market to create competition in that particular industry.Complete the following table by indicating which barrier to entry appropriately explains why a monopoly exists in each scenario.ScenarioBarriers to EntryExclusive Ownership of a Key ResourceGovernment-Created MonopoliesEconomies of ScaleThe Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) formerly controlled all U.S. sources of bauxite, a key component in the production of aluminum. Given that Alcoa did not sell bauxite to any other companies, Alcoa was a monopolist in the U.S. aluminum industry from the late-nineteenth century until the 1940s. Patents are granted to inventors of a product or process for a certain number of years. The reason for this is to encourage innovation in the economy. Without the existence of patents, it is argued that research and development for improved pharmaceutical products is unlikely to take place, since there's nothing preventing another firm from stealing the idea, copying the product, and producing it without incurring the development costs. In the natural gas industry, low average total costs are obtained only through large-scale production. In other words, the initial cost of setting up all the necessary pipes and hoses makes it risky and, most likely, unprofitable for competitors to enter the market.
Answer:
Monopolist's Market Power and Barriers to Entry
Scenario 1
The Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) formerly controlled all U.S. sources of bauxite, a key component in the production of aluminum. Given that Alcoa did not sell bauxite to any other companies, Alcoa was a monopolist in the U.S. aluminum industry from the late-nineteenth century until the 1940s.
Barrier to Entry:
Exclusive Ownership of a Key Resource
Scenario 2
Patents are granted to inventors of a product or process for a certain number of years. The reason for this is to encourage innovation in the economy. Without the existence of patents, it is argued that research and development for improved pharmaceutical products is unlikely to take place, since there's nothing preventing another firm from stealing the idea, copying the product, and producing it without incurring the development costs.
Barrier to Entry:
Government-Created Monopolies
Scenario 3:
In the natural gas industry, low average total costs are obtained only through large-scale production. In other words, the initial cost of setting up all the necessary pipes and hoses makes it risky and, most likely, unprofitable for competitors to enter the market.
Barrier to Entry:
Economies of Scale
Explanation:
Exclusive Ownership of a Key Resource: It has been argued that monopolies do not arise from exclusive ownership of a key resource. However, having exclusive ownership grants an entity a kind of natural monopoly.
Government-Created Monopolies: Governments create monopolies by protecting intellectual property and issuing patents and copyrights, which give the holders exclusive rights to produce some products or render some services for a period of time. The purpose is to encourage innovation and industrialization.
Economies of Scale: When a company is able to produce goods in large quantity, this reduces the average cost per unit, increases efficiency, and economies of scale are achieved because the costs of production are spread over larger units.
Timeliness of financial statements varies across nations.Which of the following countries has financial statements issued closest to year-end (on average)?
A) Japan
B) Germany
C) Canada
D) Italy
Answer: C. Canada
Explanation:
While Canada does not enforce a rule that says that companies should issue statements at year end, most companies on average seem to favor having a December year end in Canada than all the other countries on this list.
A survey in 2017 showed that 57% of Canadian companies favored a December year end with the other months not even receiving anything more than 7% each. Compared to the U.S. however, Canada is lacking as 71% or more American companies favored a December year end.
The acid-test ratio differs from the current ratio in that: _______
a) The acid-test ratio is a measure of liquidity but the current ratio is not.
b) Liabilities are divided by current assets
c) The acid-test ratio measures profitability and the current ratio does not.
d) Prepaid expensand inventory are excluded from the calculation of the acid-test ratio.
e) The acid-test ratio excludes short-term investments from the calculation.
Answer:
d) Prepaid expensand inventory are excluded from the calculation of the acid-test ratio.
Explanation:
The acid-test can be regarded quick ratio, this ratio makes the comparison between most short-term assets of a company and most short-term liabilities of the company in order to ascertain if there is enough cash for the company to pay immediate liabilities in the company. These immediate liabilities could be short-term debt. There is usually disregards of current assets by acid-test ratio which it's liquidation is difficult example is inventory.
Current ratio can be regarded as ratio that compares current assets of a company and the current liabilities. It can be gotten by finding ratio of current assets of the company and current liabilities. liquidity of a company can be measured using current ratio by potential creditors.
It should be noted that The acid-test ratio differs from the current ratio in that Prepaid expensand inventory are excluded from the calculation of the acid-test ratio.
Indicate weather the following transactions will be included in that is, directly increase the GDP of the United Sextes.
Treetopplers, a U.S. lumber company, produces wood at a plant in Oregon on September 19, 2020. It sells the wood to Buildit and Partners, a developer, for use in the production of a new house that will be built in the United States in 2020. (Note: Focus exclusively on whether production of the wood increases GDP directly, and ignore the effect of production of the new house on GDP.) An accountant starts a client's 2020 tax return on April 14, 2021, finishing it just before midnight on April 15, 2021.
Answer:

An accountant starts a client's 2020 tax return on April 14, 2021, finishing it just before midnight on April 15, 2021. - excluded
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :
spending on durables - e.g. laptop
spending on nondurables - e.g. clothes, food
spending on services - e.g. payment of hospital bill
the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods
Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services
the airplane purchased by the airline would be used to provide services for airline customers. Also, the packing boxes bought by Amazon would be used in delivering goods to customers
Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment. The purchase of a new limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
The wood sold is an intermediate good and would not be included in the GDP
The tax returns would be included in 2021s GDP and not in 2020
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) accept or reject the project?
Answer:
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC)
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) should reject the project. The basis for rejecting Division H's project is that its return (12%) is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division (14%).
Explanation:
a) Data:
Division L's weighted-average cost of capital = 8%
Division H's weighted-average cost of capital = 14%
Weight of Division L = 50%
Weight of Division H = 50%
Company composite weighted average cost of capital = 11% (8% * 50%) + (14% * 50%)
Expected return from a proposed project for Division H = 12%
The Purple Lion Beverage Company expects the following cash flows from its manufacturing plant in Palau over the next six years: Annual Cash Flows Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 $250,000$37,500$180,000$300,000$750,000$725,000 The CFO of the company believes that an appropriate annual interest rate on this investment is 6.5%. What is the present value of this uneven cash flow stream, rounded to the nearest whole dollar
Answer: $1,694,292
Explanation:
The present value is simply the sum of the discounted value of the various cash flows.
[tex]= \frac{250000}{1 + 0.065} + \frac{37500}{1.065^{2} } + \frac{180000}{1.065^{3}} + \frac{300000}{1.065^{4}} + \frac{750000}{1.065^{5}} + \frac{725000}{1.065^{6}}[/tex]
= $1,694,291.63
= $1,694,292
What is the IRR of a project that costs $74,361.78 and provides cash-inflows of $25,000 annually for four years
Answer:
13%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-74,361.78
Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = 25,000
IRR = 13%
Nouvelle-Aquitaine Railroad is comparing two separate capital structures. The first structure consists of 405,000 shares of stock and no debt. The second structure consists of 252397 shares of stock and $1.82 million of debt. What is the price per share of equity?
a. $75.56.
b. $88.76.
c. $82.42.
d. $72.12.
e. $93.20.
Answer:
$11.93
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the price per share of equity
Using this formula
Price per share of equity = Debt under Plan II / (Number of shares under Plan I - Number of shares under Plan II)
Let plug in the formula
Price per share of equity= $1,820,000 / (405,000 - 252,397)
Price per share = $1,820,000 / 152,603
Price per share = $11.93
Therefore the price per share of equity is $11.93
Payne Company provided the following information relevant to its inventory sales and purchases for December 2013 and the first quarter of 2014:
Dec. 2013 Jan. 2014 Feb. 2014 Mar. 2014
(Actual) (Budgeted) (Budgeted) (Budgeted)
Cost of goods sold $80,000 $140,000 $180,000 $120,000
Desired ending inventory levels are 25% of the following month's projected cost of goods sold. The company purchases all inventory on account. January Year 2 budgeted purchases are $180,000. The normal schedule for inventory payments is 60% payment in month of purchase and 40% payment in month following purchase.
Budgeted cash payments for inventory in February 2014 would be: __________
Answer:
$171,000
Explanation:
Purchases in February = ($120,000 * 25%) + ($180,000 -$180,000*25%)
Purchases in February = $30,000 + $135,000
Purchases in February = $165,000
Payment in February = ($180,000 * 40%) + ($165,000 * 60%)
Payment in February = $72,000 + $99,000
Payment in February = $171,000
So, the bdgeted cash payments for inventory in February 2014 will be $171,000.

Douglas owns rental property that he bought several years ago for $250,000. He has taken depreciation on the house in the amount of $35,000 since buying it. He sells it in 2020 for $290,000. His selling expenses are $12,000 for the year. What was Bob's realized gain on the sale?
a. $77,000.
b. $63,000.
c. $18,000.
d. $53,000.
Answer:
Gain= $63,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the book value:
Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation
Book value= 250,000 - 35,000
Book value= 215,000
Now, the gain or loss from the sale:
Gain/loss= selling price - book value - selling expense
Gain/loss= 290,000 - 215,000 - 12,000
Gain= $63,000
Airline Accessories has the following current assets: cash, $93 million; receivables, $85 million; inventory, $173 million; and other current assets, $9 million. Airline Accessories has the following liabilities: accounts payable, $80 million; current portion of long-term debt, $26 million; and long-term debt, $14 million. Based on these amounts, calculate the current ratio and the acid-test ratio for Airline Accessories. (Enter your answers in millions, not in dollars. For example, $5,500,000 should be entered as 5.5.)
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. The current ratio is the sum of current assets divided by current liabilities. It used to measure the ability of the airlines accessories to meet its short term obligation due within a year
Current ratio = $93 million + $85 million + $9 million / $80 million + $26 million
Current ratio = $187 million / $106 million
Current ratio = 1.76:1
Current ratio = 1.76 times
2. Acid test ratio. This measure liquidity but with adjustment for risky current assets i.e Inventory
Acid test ratio = Current assets - Inventories / Current liabilities
Acid test ratio = ($187 million - $173 million) / $106 million
Acid test ratio = $14 million / $106 million
Acid test ratio = 0.13:1
Acid test ratio = 0.13 times
Which of the following statements is most correct concerning a project with normal cash flows (i.e., a cash outflow in Year 0 followed by cash inflows in all subsequent years)?
a) If the NPV of a project is positive then the payback period rule will always accept the project.
b) If the NPV of a project is negative, then the profitability index of the project will always be greater than one.
c) If the profitability index of a project is greater than one, then the IRR will always be less than the project’s cost of capital.
d) If the NPV of a project is zero, then the IRR of the project will be equal to the discount rate for the project.
e) If the discount rate of a project is zero, then the project will always be accepted.
Answer: D. If the NPV of a project is zero, then the IRR of the project will be equal to the discount rate for the project.
Explanation:
Net present value (NPV) refers to the difference that exist between the present value of the cash inflows and that of the cash outflows for a particular period of time.
The net present value is used in capital budgeting to determine if a projected investment or project will be profitable or not. For a project with normal cash flows, if the NPV of a project is zero, then the IRR of the project will be equal to the discount rate for the project.
Therefore, the correct option is D.

The option that contributes to making the Federal Reserve an independent policymaking body is that members of the Board of Governors are appointed for 14-year terms.
ACS Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $6.2 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.8 million a year for five years. The firm uses the subjective approach to assign discount rates to projects. For this project, the subjective adjustment is 2%. The firm has a pre-tax cost of debt of 6.7% and a cost of equity of 9.4%. The debt-equity ratio is 0.6 and the tax rate is 35%. What is the net present value of the project
Answer:
$0.710 million
Explanation:
The net present value of the project is the present value of future cash inflows discounted at the appropriate project discount rate minus the initial investment outlay.
The weighted average cost of capital of the firm is computed using the formula below:
WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)
debt-equity ratio=debt/equity= 0.6(which means debt is 0.6 while equity is 1 since 0.6/1=0.6)
weight of equity=equity/(equity+debt)
weight of equity=1/(1+0.6)=62.50%
weight of debt=debt/(equity+debt)
weight of debt=0.6/(1+0.6)=37.50%
cost of equity=9.4%
after-tax cost of debt=pre-tax cost of debt*(1-tax rate)
pre-tax cost of debt=6.7%
tax rate=35%
after-tax cost of debt=6.7%*(1-35%)=4.36%
WACC=(62.50%*9.4%)+(37.50%*4.36%)
WACC=7.51%
The WACC would be adjusted upward by 2% to reflect the higher level of risk of the new project
project's discount rate=7.51%+2%=9.51%
present value of a future cash flow=future cash flow/(1+discount rate)^n
n is the year in which the future cash flow is expected, it is 1 for year 1 cash flow ,2 for year 2 cash flow, and so on.
NPV=$0.710 million($710,000)
A disadvantage of the line structure is that it
Answer:
Disadvantages of a Line Organization
A line organization can suffer from a lack of specialization. This is because each department manager is concerned only with the activities of his own department. Therefore, employees are skilled in tasks pertaining to their departments alone.
These organizations can overburden a keyman or a few key-men to the extent of their breaking point. Also, in the absence of a staff aid, if a strong man seizes the organization, he can run it arbitrarily. Such arbitrary power can lead to a considerable damage to the organization.
Such organizations usually suffer from a lack of expert advice. If the line manager has trouble making a decision, there is no expert staff that he can turn to.
A line organization is usually rigid and inflexible. In fact, such organizations maintain discipline so rigorously that they can rarely change.
These organizations are based on the autocratic system of management.
The division of work is not based on any scientific plan but on the whims of the manager.
It might stop progress and prevent the unit to work effectively.
Such organizations might also encourage nepotism or favoritism based on relationship or friendship.
I hope this is helpful information.
The risk-free rate is 3%. The beta is 1.4, the alpha is 0.6 and the average return is 12%. What is the market return? How is it calculated?
Answer:
9.00%
Explanation:
In a bid to determine the market return, we make use of the formula for average return provided below whereby the formula is rearranged in order to market return the subject of the formula as shown thus:
Average return = Alpha + rf + β * (rm - rf)
Average return=12%
Alpha=0.6%
rf=risk-free rate=3%
β=Beta=1.4
rm=market return=the unknown
12%=0.6%+3%+1.4*(rm-3%)
12%=0.6%+3%+1.4rm-4.20%
12%=3.6%+1.4rm-4.20%
12%-3.6%+4.20%=1.4rm
12.60%=1.4rm
rm=12.60%/1.4
rm=9.00%
A developing nation decides to make a law preventing foreigners from owning businesses or land. How will this policy affect economic growth
Answer:
It will decrease economic growth, because flow of funds across the border is essential to maximizing investment.Explanation:
Less companies will come into the country to invest because foreign companies want to be able to own businesses so that they will be able to make money from them. They will invest funds in opening these businesses and they would take some of it out as profit.
If they are unable to open these businesses, money will not flow into the country to open them and so there will be less funds needed to fund investment which drives economic growth so economic growth will be less.
Crane Corporation's computation of cost of goods sold is:
Beginning inventory $34800
Add: Cost of goods purchased 470000
Cost of goods available for sale 504800
Less: Ending inventory 72000
Cost of goods sold $432800
The average days to sell inventory for Fry are:________
Answer:
16.64 days
Explanation:
Given the above information, we will calculate the average days to sell inventories with the formula below;
Average days to sell inventories = [Ending inventory / Cost of goods sold] × 100
Ending inventory = $72,000
Cost of goods sold = $432,800
Then, Average days to sell inventories
= [$72,000 / $432,800] × 100
= 16.64 days
Therefore, the average days to sell inventory for Fry are 16.64 days

which of the following is false? when a cboe call option on ibm is exercised, ibm issues more stock. an american option can be exercised at any time during its life. a put option will always be exercised at maturity if the strike price is greater than the underlying asset price
Answer:
The false statement is:
when a CBOE call option on IBM is exercised, IBM issues more stock.
Explanation:
CBOE = Chicago Board Options Exchange. CBOE pioneered the options trading in 1973. It has remained the largest U.S. options market operator. It supports options trading on thousands of publicly listed stocks and exchange-traded products. Exercising a call option on the exchange platform does not affect the outstanding IBM stock and will never force IBM Corporation to issue more stock.

Answer:
Planning.
Explanation:
A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.
Planning can be defined as the process of developing organizational objectives and translating them into action plans or courses of action.
This ultimately implies that, planning is a strategic technique used by organizations to make an aggregate plan for its manufacturing (production) process typically ahead of time, in order to have an idea of the level of goods that are to be produced and what resources are required so as to reduce the total cost of production to its barest minimum.
When managers identify a market trend that suggests a new opportunity and then devise a strategy to go after this new opportunity, they are involved in the function of planning.

You have been asked to analyze First Union Bank. You have only the following information on the bank at year-end 2021: Net income is $440,000, total debt is $2.0 million, and the bank’s debt ratio is 50 percent. What is First Union Bank’s ROE for 2021? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Answer:
22%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine First Union Bank’s ROE for 2021
First step
Debt ratio = 0.50 = $2.0m / Total assets
Second step
Total assets = $2.0m / 0.50
Total assets = $4.000m
Third step
Total equity = $4.000m - $2.0m
Total equity = 2.000m
Now let determine the ROE
ROE = $440000 / $2.000m
ROE=22.00%
Therefore First Union Bank’s ROE for 2021 is 22.00%
A loan processing operation that processes an average of 7 loans per day. The operation has a design capacity of 10 loans per day and an effective capacity of 8 loans per day. A furnace repair team that services an average of 3 furnaces a day if the design capacity is 9 furnaces a day and the effective capacity is 8 furnaces a day.
a. Utilization ____________ %
b. Efficiency ____________ %
Would you say that systems that have higher efficiency ratios than other systems will always have higher utilization ratios than those other systems?
Answer:
Efficiency = Actual Output / Effective Capacity * 100%
Utilization = Actual Output / Design Capacity * 100%
Loan processing operation
Actual output = 9 loans per day
Design capacity = 10 loans per day
Effective capacity = 8 loans per day
Utilization = 9/10 * 100
Utilization = 90.0%
Efficiency = 9/8 x 100
Efficiency = 112.5%
Furnace repair team
Actual output = 3 furnaces per day
Design capacity = 9 furnaces per day
Effective capacity = 8 furnaces per day
Utilization = 3/9 * 100
Utilization = 33.3%
Efficiency = 3/8 * 100
Efficiency = 37.5 %
