Answer:
deficits are incurred during recessions and surpluses during inflations
Explanation:
Discretionary fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise.
Discretionary fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary
Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes. These policies are carried out in a recession when the government wants to increase total spending
Contractionary fiscal policies is when the government reduces the money supply in the economy either by reducing spending or increasing taxes . These policies are carried out in periods of inflation when the government wants to reduce money supply in the economy
Western Electric has 28,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $71 and a rate of return of 13.40 percent. The firm has 6,900 shares of 7.00 percent preferred stock outstanding at a price of $91.00 per share. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. The outstanding debt has a total face value of $380,000 and currently sells for 107 percent of face. The yield to maturity on the debt is 7.84 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 39 percent
Answer: 11.05%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital is calculated as follows:
= (Weight of debt * after tax cost of debt) + (weight of equity * cost of equity) + (weight of preferred stock * cost of preferred stock)
Total equity = 28,000 * 71 = $1,988,000
Total preferred stock = 6,900 * 91 = $627,900
Total debt = 380,000 * 107 = $406,600
Total = 1,988,000 + 627,900 + 406,600
= $3,022,500
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend / Current price = 7 / 91 = 7.69%
After tax cost of debt = 7.84% * (1 - 39%) = 4.78%
WACC = (406,000 / 3,022,500 * 4.78%) + (1,988,000 / 3,022,500 * 13.40%) + (627,900 / 3,022,500 * 7.69%)
= 11.05%

Determine if the research is deductive or inductive: - If because of analysis of data collected, one infers that the problem of turnover can be minimized by three important factors: (i) flexible work hours; (ii) recognition of superior performance of workers through suitable merit pay raises; and (iii) enriching certain types of jobs. If a manager observes that people residing at distances beyond 50 miles from the workplace remain absent more frequently than those he knows to reside close by, and infers thereby that distance is a factor in absenteeism. Fares spent some time reviewing the literature on child behavior and focused particularly on theoretical explanations for gender differences he might expect to find in his upcoming study of children.
Answer:
1. Deductive
2. Inductive
3. Deductive
Explanation:
Deductive research is a form of reasoning that stems from existing theories that can be tested. Data is collected to test a theory and the results are analyzed. The first and third scenarios are deductive research works because there are existing theories or data that can be worked on. In the first instance, data on issues of turnover already exist. In the third scenario, there were theories to explain gender differences.
Inductive research proposes a theory after observation. This is applicable in the second instance where the manager proposes the theory that relates distance to absenteeism after close observation.

The Baldwin Company has just purchased $40,900,000 of plant and equipment that has an estimated useful life of 15 years. The expected salvage value at the end of 15 years is $4,090,000. What will the book value of this purchase (exclude all other plant and equipment) be after its third year of use
Answer:
$38,448,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What will the book value of this purchase
First step
Depreciation = (cost - salvage)/useful life
Depreciation= (40,900,000 - 4,090,000 )/15
Depreciation=36810000/15
Depreciation=2454000
Now let determine the
Book value=Cost -Depreciation
Book value=$40,900,000-$2,454,000
Book value=$38,448,000
Therefore the book value of this purchase is$38,448,000

Molly sells bracelets to Jean's Place, a boutique store. Molly is scheduled to deliver 100 bracelets on July 1. On June 15, Jean, the owner of Jean's Place calls Molly and says "I might not be able to pay for your bracelets." Molly does not deliver the bracelets on July 1. Jean can probably recover from Molly for breach of contract. Group of answer choices True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
The contract is such that Molly agreed to bring bracelets if Jean would pay for said bracelets.
The terms of the contract therefore are that Jean would pay and Molly would deliver. Jean then calls Molly and says that they will be unable to pay which means that they are not going to be able to hold up their responsibilities in the contract.
Molly has the right to then cancel the contract because the other party will not be able to perform their obligations and face no repercussion for it.
Jamar Co. sold its headquarters building at a gain, and simultaneously leased back the building. The lease was reported as a finance lease. At the time of the sale, the gain should be reported as
Answer:
a deferred gain
Explanation:
Deferred gain occurs when the recipient of the proceeds or profits from a transaction do not collect it all upfront. Some of the gain is not collected now but deferred to some future time.
It is referred to as unrealised revenue and is represented on the balance sheet as a liability.
In the given scenario Jamar Co. sold its headquarters building at a gain, and simultaneously leased back the building. This means not all the gains from the sale are received now.
So this is a deferred gain.
The following refers to units processed by a breakfast cereal maker in August. Compute the total equivalent units of production with respect to conversion for August using the weighted-average inventory method.
Tons of Product Percent of Conversion Added
Beginning Work in Process 230,000 60%
Goods started 570,000 100%
Goods completed 620,000 100
Ending Work in Process 180,000 70%
a. 758,000
b. 800,000
c. 620,000
d. 746,000
Answer:
Total equivalent units= 746,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning Work in Process 230,000 60%
Goods started 570,000 100%
Goods completed 620,000 100
Ending Work in Process 180,000 70%
The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production:
Units completed in the period= 620,000
quivalent units in ending inventory WIP= (180,000*0.7)= 126,000
Total equivalent units= 746,000
Hilda owes a significant amount of debt to a doctor's office, and they hired a collection agency to take up those claims. The collection agency calls frequently, sometimes as late as 1 a.m. or 2 a.m. on weekdays. In this case, the collection agency ____________________.
Answer: c. is violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Explanation:
A person being in debt does not mean that they will lose their rights. They are still citizens and certain rights will be protected and these are shown in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
One of the requirements of this Act is that debt collectors do not call between the hours 9pm and 8am as these hours are unreasonable to disturb people at. In calling Hilda at 1 am or 2 am therefore, this collection agency is in violation of the Act and can be sanctioned.
Product quality is ultimately reflected in the __________ and the price that customers are willing to pay. Group of answer choices market share development capability development time development cost
Answer: Market share
Explanation:
When a product is of high quality, more people will want to buy it because humans are drawn to things of superior quality. The quality item will therefore have a higher market share than its competitors.
The price will also reflect this as it would be higher than competing products to show that it is more sought after.
Take the iPhone for example. There are many more smartphones in the market but because of the quality of iPhones, they have such a high market share in the United States.

Prior to June 30, a company has never had any treasury stock transactions. A company repurchased 100 shares of its $1 par common stock on June 30 for $40 per share. On July 20, it reissued 50 of these shares at $46 per share. On August 1, it reissued 20 of the shares at $38 per share. What is the journal entry necessary to record the repurchase of stock on June 30?A. Debit Common Stock $2,300; credit Cash $2,300.
B. Debit Common Stock $20; debit Treasury Stock $2,290; credit Cash $2,300.
C. Debit Common Stock $2,300; credit Treasury Stock $2,000; credit Paid-In Capital, Treasury Stock $300.
D. Debit Cash $2,300; credit Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock $300; credit Treasury Stock $2,000.
E. Debit Cash $2,300; credit Treasury Stock $2,300.
Answer:
When shares are repurchased, they are recorded at the cost price in the books which means that they will be recorded at:
= 100 * 40
= $4,000
Cash will then be credited because assets are credited when they reduce.
Treasury stock will be debited to show that Equity is reducing.

An investment offers $2,374 per year for 13 years, with the first payment occurring 1 year from now. If the required return is 8 percent, what is the value of the investment
Answer:
PV= $18,763.56
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual payment (A)= $2,374
Number of payments= 13
Discount rate (i)= 8%
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
PV= 2,374*{(1/0.08) - 1 / [(0.08*(1.08^13)}}
PV= $18,763.56
A trial balance is a(n) (list/balance/chart)
of accounts and their balances at a point in time and is used to confirm that the sum of debit account balances equals the sum of
account balances. Use one word for each blank.
Answer:
- List; credit
"A trial balance is a(n) list of accounts and their balances at a point in time and is used to confirm that the sum of debit account balances equals the sum of credit account balances."
Explanation:
'Trial Balance' is described as the 'statement of the balances of all nominal accounts in a double-entry ledger.' It is primarily made with the aim to examine the equality in the debit, as well as, credit balances. As per the accounting rules, the total value of the debits must be equal to the total of credit values. Any difference or discrepancy in the balance signals that an error has been made in the calculation or making the entries and certain transactions are missed out. Thus, the correct words would be 'list and credit.'
A truck that cost $72,000 and on which $60,000 of accumulated depreciation has been recorded was disposed of for $18,000 cash. The entry to record this event would include a

Therefore The entry to record this event would include a gain of $6,000
On June 15, Oakley Inc. sells inventory on account to Sunglass Hut (SH) for $4,500, terms 4/10, n/30. On June 20, SH returns to Oakley inventory that SH had purchased for $1,000. On June 24, SH completely fulfills its obligation to Oakley by making a cash payment. What is the amount of cash paid by SH to Oakley
Answer: $3360
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the amount of cash paid by SH to Oakley will be calculated as thus:
SH will be entitled to a discount of 4% since the payment was made within the discount period, therefore, the discount that is applicable will be:
= $4500 - $1000
= $3,500
Therefore, the amount of cash payment that is made by SH to Oakley will be:
= $3,500 - (4% × $3,500)
= $3500 - (0.04 × $3500)
= $3500 - $140
= $3360
Therefore, the amount of cash paid by SH to Oakley is $3360.

Fuente, Inc., has identified an investment project with the following cash flows. Year Cash Flow 1 $ 1,070 2 1,300 3 1,520 4 2,260 a. If the discount rate is 8 percent, what is the future value of these cash flows in Year 4
Answer:
Total FV= $6,765.82
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Year Cash Flow 1 $ 1,070 2 1,300 3 1,520 4 2,260
Discount rate= 8%
To calculate the total future value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
FV= Cf*(1 + i)^n
FV1= 1,070*(1.08^3)= 1,347.9
FV2= 1,300*(1.08^2)= 1,516.32
FV3= 1,520*1.08= 1,641.6
FV4= 2,260
Total FV= $6,765.82

Travis and Andrea were divorced in 2017. Their only marital property consisted of a personal residence (fair market value of $400,000, cost of $200,000), and publicly traded stocks (fair market value of $800,000, cost basis of $500,000). Under the terms of the divorce agreement, Andrea received the personal residence and Travis received the stocks. In addition, Andrea was to receive $50,000 for eight years. I. If the $50,000 annual payments are to be made to Andrea or her estate (if she dies before the end of the eight years), the payments will qualify as alimony. II. Andrea has a taxable gain from an exchange of her one-half interest in the stocks for Travis' one-half interest in the house and cash. III. If Travis sells the stocks for $900,000, he must recognize a $400,000 gain. a.I, II, and III are true. b.Only III is true. c.Only I and II are true. d.Only I and III are true.
Answer: B. b.Only III is true.
Explanation:
It should be noted that in order to qualify as an alimony, then the cash payments have to stop when the payer dies.
It should be noted that the $50,000 annual payments that are to be made to Andrea or her estate if she dies before the end of the eight years doesn't qualify as alimony.
Therefore, the correct option will be that If Travis sells the stocks for $900,000, he must recognize a $400,000 gain.
Therefore, only III is correct.
