a) true
b) false
Answer:
This practice may be a violation of U.S. law.
a) true
Explanation:
To protect local industries from unfair competition from other countries, the US enforces antidumping and countervailing laws. The laws seek to investigate, prevent, and impose adequate tariffs on imported goods that are priced lower in the U.S. market than in the exporting country's market or imported goods that are subsidized by the exporting country's government.
A firm is considering a project requiring an investment of $30,000. The project would generate an annual cash flow of $7,251 for the next six years. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation with no mid-year convention. Ignore income taxes. The approximate internal rate of return for the project is: __________
a.11%.
b.10%.
c.12%.
d.9%.
Answer:
c.12%
Explanation:
PVF of 12% for 6 years is 4.11
PVFof 11% for 6 years is 4.23
Present value of cash inflows, 12% = 7251*4.11
Present value of cash inflows, 12% = 29801.61
Present value of cash inflows, 11% = 7251*4.23
Present value of cash inflows, 11% = 30671.73
Internal rate of return = 11% + (30671.73 - 30000)/(30671.73-29801.61)
Internal rate of return = 11.7719969659%
Internal rate of return = 11.772%
First National Bank charges 11.4 percent compounded monthly on its business loans. First United Bank charges 11.6 percent compounded semiannually. Calculate the EAR for each bank.
Answer:
EAR = (1 + APR/m)^m - 1. Where m = compounding periods
First National Bank
11.4 percent compounded monthly on its business loans
EAR = (1+11.4%/12)^12 - 1
EAR = (1.0095)^12 - 1
EAR = 1.12014921627 - 1
EAR = 0.12014921627
EAR = 12.014921627%
EAR = 12.01%
First United Bank
11.6 percent compounded semiannually
EAR = (1+11.6%/2)^2 - 1
EAR = (1.058)^2 - 1
EAR = 1.119364 - 1
EAR = 0.119364
EAR = 11.9364%
EAR = 11.94%

The Devon Motor Company produces automobiles. On April 1st the company had no beginning inventories and it purchased 8,000 batteries at a cost of $80 per battery. It withdrew 7,600 batteries from the storeroom during the month. Of these, 100 were used to replace batteries in cars being used by the company’s traveling sales staff. The remaining 7,500 batteries withdrawn from the storeroom were placed in cars being produced by the company. Of the cars in production during April, 90 percent were completed and transferred from work in process to finished goods. Of the cars completed during the month, 30 percent were unsold at April 30th. Required: 1. Determine the cost of batteries that would appear in each of the following accounts on April 30th.
Question Completion:
a) raw materials
b) work in process
c) finished goods
d) cost of goods sold
e) selling expense
Answer:
The Devon Motor Company
The cost of batteries that would appear in each of the following accounts on April 30th:
a) raw materials = $32,000
b) work in process = $60,000
c) finished goods = $162,000
d) cost of goods sold = $378,000
e) selling expense = $8,000
Total cost of batteries purchased = $640,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning inventory = 0
Purchase of batteries = 8,000 at $80 = $640,000
Used batteries = 7,600
Ending inventory = 400 at $80 = $32,000 raw materials
Used batteries = 7,600:
Selling expenses = 100 * $80 = $8,000
Work in process = 7,500
Ending WIP = (7,500 - 6,750) * $80 = $60,000
Finished goods = 90% 6,750 * $80 = $540,000
Ending inventory 30% 2,025 * $80 = $162,000
Cost of goods sold 70% 4,725 * $80 = $378,000
Refer to the following information about the Finishing Department in the Gallagher Factory for the month of June. Gallagher Factory uses the FIFO method of inventory costing.

% complete for materials 70%
% complete for conversion costs 25%
Materials cost from May 7350
Conversion costs from May 3125
Product started:
Physical units 44000
Ending Work in Process inventory:
Physical units 4000
% complete for materials 40%
% complete for conversion costs 10%
Manufacturing costs for June:
Materials 96975
Conversion costs 79470
Compute equivalent units for direct materials for June.
Answer:
the equivalent units for direct material is 43,100 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units for direct material is shown below:
= Ending work in process units + units started and completed + opening work in process units
= 40% of 4,000 units + (44,000 - 4,000) + 30% of 5,000
= 1,600 units + 40,000 units + 1,500 units
= 43,100 units
hence, the equivalent units for direct material is 43,100 units

Corporations differ from partnerships and other forms of business association in two ways. One of these is that:________.
a. they are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.
b. they are formed simply by an agreement entered into among their members.
c. they must be publicly registered or in some way officially acknowledged by the law.
d. their shareholders are entitled to their share of the company's profits as soon as they are ascertained or determined.
Answer: c. they must be publicly registered or in some way officially acknowledged by the law.
Explanation:
Corporations tend to have many shareholders who would get hurt if the company fails and for this reason they are regulated by the law. They must be publicly registered to allow people to purchase and sell shares and they must have the official acknowledgement of the law.
The formation of a corporation can be complicated and require a relatively high number of legal processes and corporations are not regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.
Also, even though shareholders are technically entitled to the company's profits, they don't get to collect it immediately because the company needs money to function and grow.
A monopolistically competitive firm is currently producing 20 units of output. At this level of output the firm is charging the highest price it can at $20, has marginal revenue equal to $12, has marginal cost equal to $12, and has average total cost equal to $18. From this information we can infer that a. firms are likely to leave this market in the long run. b. the firm is currently maximizing its profit. c. the firm is earning zero profit. d. the profits of the firm are negative.
Answer:
Option b (the firm is currently maximizing its profit) is the right approach.
Explanation:
Given values are:
[tex]P=20[/tex][tex]Q=20[/tex][tex]ATC=18[/tex]Now,
The profit will be:
= [tex]P\times Q-(ATC\times Q)[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
= [tex]20\times 20-18\times 20[/tex]
= [tex]400-360[/tex]
= [tex]40[/tex]
Thus, the above is the correct answer.

Explanation:
Song, Inc., uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior. The company observed that at 22,000 machine hours of activity, total maintenance costs averaged $33.40 per hour. When activity jumped to 25,000 machine hours, which was still within the relevant range, the average total cost per machine hour was $30.40.On the basis of this information, the variable cost per machine hour was:___________A. $8.40.B. $22.00.C. $25.00.D. $30.40.E. $33.40.
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $8.4
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total cost for each level of machine hours:
Low activity level:
Total cost= 22,000*33.4= $734,800
High activity level:
Total cost= 25,000*30.4= $760,000
Now, we can determine the variable and fixed costs:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (760,000 - 734,800) / (25,000 - 22,000)
Variable cost per unit= $8.4
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 760,000 - (8.4*25,000)
Fixed costs= $550,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 734,800 - (8.4*22,000)
Fixed costs= $550,000
What is the present discounted value of $10,000 that is to be received in 2 years if the market rate of interest is 4 percent?
a. 0 percent. b. 8 percent.c. 12 percent.
Answer:
PV = $9,245.56
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value (FV)= $10,000
Number of periods (n)= 2 years
Discount rate (i)= 4% = 0.04
To calculate the present value (PV), we need to use the following formula:
PV = FV / (1 + i)^n
PV = 10,000 / (1.04^2)
PV = $9,245.56
However, similar to bonds, preferred stockholders receive a fixed payment—their dividend—before the company’s residual earnings are paid out to its common stockholders and, as with common stock, preferred stockholders can benefit from an appreciation in the value of the firm’s stock securities. Consider the following case of Wellington Industries: Wellington Industries pays an annual dividend rate of 8.00% on its preferred stock that currently returns 10.72% and has a par value of $100.00 per share. What is the value of Wellington’s preferred stock?
Answer: $74.63
Explanation:
Preferred shares are treated like perpetuities which means that the value is:
= Annual dividend/required return
Annual dividend:
= Dividend rate * Par value
= 8% * 100
= $8.00
Value of share = 8 / 10.72%
= $74.6269
= $74.63
At year-end, Barr Co. had shipped $12,500 of merchandise FOB destination to Lee Co. Which company should include the $12,500 of merchandise in transit as part of its year-end inventory?
Answer: Barr Co.
Explanation:
Merchandise in transit refers to the merchandise which has already left the seller's shipping dock but hasn't gotten to the buyer's shipping dock.
In this case, since Barr Co. shipped the $12,500 of merchandise FOB destination to Lee Co and the goods have gotten to Lee Co, the company that they should include the $12,500 of merchandise in transit as part of its year-end inventory is Barr Co.
When Chernobyl melted down in the Soviet Union, the: a. price of U.S. basketballs increased. b. prices of assets reacted slowly to the information. c. price of U.S. potatoes increased. d. stock prices of U.S. nuclear plants increased.
Answer: d. stock prices of U.S. nuclear plants increased.
Explanation:
Chernobyl was a nuclear power plant in the former Soviet Union that was being used to produce electricity until it suffered a meltdown that effectively rendered the surrounding areas unlivable.
In response to this disaster, the stock prices of U.S. nuclear power plants went up because the Soviet meltdown not only reduced the supply of nuclear powered electricity but also showed that American engineering was superior and so people bought more American nuclear plant shares which took its price up.
A student borrows $95,000 for business school at 4.5% stated annual interest with monthly repayment over 9 years. Consider this as a loan with no payments or interest during school so that the problem structure is equivalent to a standard loan received one period before the first payment. Suppose that to better match expected student salary growth over time, the loan is structured as a growing annuity with each monthly payment growing by 0.3% compared to the previous monthly payment. How much is the first monthly payment
Answer:
$918.70 or $900
Explanation:
The computation of the first monthly payment is given below:
Interest rate per Month is
= Annual Rate ÷ 12
= 4.50% ÷ 12
= 0.375%
Now
Present Value of Growing Annuity = First payment × (1 - ((1 + Growth Rate) ÷ (1 + Interest Rate))^Periods) × 1 ÷ (Interest Rate - Growth Rate)
95000 = First payment × (1 - ((1 + 0.30%) ÷ (1 + 0.375%))^108) × 1 ÷ (0.375% - 0.30%)
95000 = First payment × (1 - 0.999252^108) × 1 ÷ (0.075%)
95000 = First payment × (1 - 0.92244) × 1 ÷ (0.075%)
95000 = First payment × 103.4067
First payment = $918.70 or $900

Effect on net income = $52,500-$37,500
Effect on net income = $15,000 Increase
Therefore If Bluebird accepts this additional business , the effect on net income will be :$15,000 Increase
One year ago, you purchased $6,000 worth of a mutual fund at an offering price of $38.10 a share. Today, the fund distributed $0.20 in short-term gains and $1.04 in long-term gains. The current offering price is $41.80. The fund has a front-end load of 5 percent and total annual operating expenses of 1.25 percent. What is your rate of return on this investment?
a. 7.48 percent
b. 9.91 percent
c. 2.87 percent
d. 3.54 percent
e. 6.06 percent
Answer:
a. 7.48%
Explanation:
Number of shares = $ 6,000 / $ 38.10
Number of shares = 157.48
Rate of return = [Number of shares * (Short term gans + Long term gains + ((1 - Front end load) * (Current offering price)) - Purchase price] / Purchase price
Rate of return = [157.48 * ($0.20 + $1.04 + ((1 - 0.05 ) * $41.80)) - $6,000] / $6,000
Rate of return = [157.48 * ($0.20 + $1.04 + (0.95 * $41.80)) - $6,000] / $6,000
Rate of return = [157.48 * ($1.24 + $39.71) - $6,000] / $6,000
Rate of return = $448.806 / $6,000
Rate of return = 0.074801
Rate of return = 7.48%
Any effort by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to evaluate expected deceptive marketing practices would be seriously flawed because it would mean punishing business on the basis of what the FTC thinks might happen rather than on what actually does happen.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
This is true because the Federal Trade commission(FTC) analyze and investigate a seller or sellers who may be so cooperative as to make agreements that ensure large amounts of profit for them which is likely harmful and exploitative to consumers . FTC investigates business mergers which may be horizontal or vertical that are likely done for the purpose of increasing market share and fostering a sort of monopoly of the market. However, mergers and cooperation among businesses in the market do not always yield a monopoly and the FTC may be wrong(sometimes) to wave mergers that could increase the quality of goods or services in a market
