A customer buys a new issue municipal bond with a dated date of January 1st, settling on February 1st. The first interest payment is due March 1st. How many days of accrued interest must the customer pay to the underwriter
Answer: 30 days
Explanation:
The accrued interest is to be paid for the period beginning from the date of issue till the date of settlement. However, the date of settlement is not included which means interest will not be paid for the 1st of February.
That leave the 31 days of January for payment. With Municipal Bonds however, accrued interest is calculated assuming only 30 days in a month so January will have 30 days in terms of accrued interest.
30 days is the number of days that accrued interest must be paid to the underwriter.

4. Suppose you hold a PUT option on Israeli shekels with a strike price of 3.4207s/$. If the spot rate on the final day of the option is 3.4329s/$, how much profit would you make trading $1,000,000? Should you do it?
Answer:
Profit $3,567
I would exercise my option by buying the shares before the expiration .
Explanation:
Calculation of how much profit would you make trading $1,000,000
First step is to multiply the spot rate on the final day by the trading amount
3.4329s*$1,000,000
=$3,432,900
Second step is to divide the spot rate option by the strike price
3,432,900/3.4207
=$1,003,567
Last Step is to find the profit
Profit =$1,003,567-$1,000,000
Profit=$3,567
Therefore the amount of PROFIT you would make trading $1,000,000 will be $3,567
Based on the above calculation I would exercise my option by buying the shares before the expiration .
If the capital stock is fixed and something happens to raise the marginal product of capital for any given quantity of capital, then the real rental price of capital will:
Answer: B) rise
Explanation:
The real rental price of capital refers to the cost of borrowing capital which is the interest payment on the capital less the capital gains made. As a result it is equal to the marginal product of capital which shows how much extra, a unit of capital enables the entity to produce.
Therefore, if marginal product of capital rises, as is the case in the question, so will the real rental price of capital.
To avoid having a voidable contract, all 'time is of the essence' deadlines set by the contract must be met:________
a. within 24 hours of the stated deadline.
b. within 48 hours of the stated deadline.
Answer:
None of the choices are needed
Explanation:
As we know that
The contract is an agreement between two parties who are eligible and enforceable by law
The voidable contract is an agreement that is not unenforceable by law due to various reasons like - party failure to complete the contract on time, fraud, misrepresentation, etc
So in the case of the voidable contract, no grace period is applicable neither 24 hours nor 48 hours as if there is a deadline so the same should be considered

The following information ($ in millions) comes from a recent annual report of Amazon.com, Inc.:Net sales $ 10,711Total assets 4,363End of year balance in cash 1,022Total stockholders' equity 431Gross profit (Sales-Cost of Sales) 2,456Net increase in cash for the year 9Operating expenses 2,067Net operating cash flow 702Other income (expense), net (12)a. Compute Amazon's balance in cash at the beginning of the year.b. Compute Amazon's total liabilities at the end of the year.c. Compute cost of goods sold for the year.
d. Compute the income before income tax for Amazon.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. Beginning cash balance is
= Ending cash balance - Increase in cash
= $1,022 - $9
= $1,013
2. As we know that
Assets = Total liabilities + Total Equity
$4,363 = Total liabilities + $431
= $4,363 - $431
= $3,932
3. Gross profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold
so,
Cost of goods sold = Net sales - Gross profit
= $10,711 - $2,456
= $8,255
4. Income before taxes is
= Revenue - expenses
= $10,711 - $2,456 - $2,067 -$12
= $6,176
Consider the production function
Y = (K)^1/2 (N)^1/2
where Y is output, K is capital, and N is the number of workers (abor)
When K = 46 and N = 82, output is ________ (Round your response to two decimal places.)
If both capital and labor double, given the production function, output will _________.
If output doubles when inputs double, the production function will be characterized by:_________.
A. constant returns to scale
B. decreasing returns to scale.
C. increasing returns to scale.
D. none of the above.
Answer:
Requirement 1: Production Output will be 61.42 Units.
Requirement 2: Production Output will be doubled.
Requirement 3: Constant Returns to Scale
Explanation:
Requirement 1:
The output at K=46 and N=82 is given as under:
Y = (46)^1/2 * (82)^1/2
Y = 61.42 Units
Requirement 2:
Now if we double "K" and "N" then:
Y' = (2K)^1/2 * (2N)^1/2
Y' = 2 [(K)^1/2 * (N)^1/2]
Y' = 2Y
This means that the output will be doubled.
Requirement 3:
Option A. Constant Returns to Scale
Constant returns to scale occurs when the increase in the input causes same proportional increase in the production output. Such same proportional increase in the production output is referred to as Constant Returns to Scale.
In the given scenario, as the production output doubles with the doubling of input which was seen in the requirement above. We can say that the production function is characterized by Constant Returns to Scale.

In 2019, Dan transferred 5-year property to Fleck Corp. in a tax-deferred Section 351 transaction. Fleck took Dan's adjusted basis in the property. Dan originally placed the depreciable property in service in 2017. What year of the depreciation schedule will Fleck use to depreciate the property
Answer:
The property will be depreciated using the remaining 3 years of its life after the tax-free incorporation transfer year. This is because Dan had already depreciated the property for 2 years before the transfer.

Sec. 351 allows a tax-free incorporation transfer if certain requirements are met, including that the property must be transferred to Fleck Corporation by Dan in exchange for stock in Fleck Corporation, and, immediately after the exchange, the Fleck Corporation is in control.
Suppose you know a company's stock currently sells for $70 per share and the required return on the stock is 14 percent. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield. If it's the company's policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share?
Answer: $4.58
Explanation:
The required return is said to be evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield.
That means that Dividend Yield = 7%
Capital gains yield = 7%
The Dividend Yield is based on the next dividend and given the expected return the dividend is;
Expected Return = Dividend Yield + Capital gains yield
Expected Return = Dividend(1 + g)/stock price + Capital gains yield
0.14 = Dividend ( 1 + 0.07)/70 + 0.07
70 * (0.14 - 0.07 ) = Dividend ( 1.07)
4.9 = Dividend ( 1.07)
Dividend = 4.9/1.07
Dividend = $4.58
On January 1, a company issued 5%, 15-year bonds with a face amount of $80 million for $59,249,660 to yield 8%. Interest is paid semiannually. What was the interest expense at the effective interest rate on the December 31 annual income statement
Answer:
$3,565,174.18
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to calculate discount on the bond
Discount = $80,000,000 - $59,249,660
= $20,750,340
Since interest is paid semi-annually,
= 15 × 2
= 30 periods
Finding the amortized discount per period, we have;
= $20,750,340 ÷ 30
= $691,678
Therefore, interest expense on June 31;
Interest expense = Interest paid + discount amortized per period
= $80,000,000 × 0.05 × 6/22 + $691,678
= $1,090,909.09 + $691,678
= $1,782,587.09
Interest expense on December 31;
= $80,000 × 0.05 × 6/12 + $691,678
= $1,090,909.09 + $691,678
=$1,782,587.09
Total expense on December 31 = Interest expense on June 30 + Interest expense on December 31
= $1,782,587.09 + $1,782,587.09
= $3,565,174.18
Swan Textiles Inc. produces and sells a decorative pillow for $98.00 per unit. In the first month of operation, 2,200 units were produced and 1,800 units were sold.

Other information for the month includes: Variable manufacturing costs $24.00 per unit Variable marketing costs $5.00 per unit Fixed manufacturing costs $13.00 per unit Administrative expenses, all fixed $21.00 per unit Ending inventories: Direct materials −0− WIP −0− Finished goods 400 units What is the operating income using variable costing?
Answer:
Net operating profit= 57,800
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $98
Units sold= 1,800
Variable manufacturing costs $24.00 per unit
Variable marketing costs $5.00 per unit
Fixed manufacturing costs $13.00 per unit
Administrative expenses, all fixed $21.00 per unit
First, we need to calculate the total fixed costs:
Total fixed manufacturing cost= 13*2,200= 28,600
Total administrative cost= 21*1,800= 37,800
Variable costing income statement:
Sales= 98*1,800= 176,400
Total variable cost= 1,800*(24 + 5)= (52,200)
Contribution margin= 124,200
Total fixed manufacturing cost= (28,600)
Total administrative cost= (37,800)
Net operating profit= 57,800

If the budget deficit increases then a. saving and the interest rate rise. b. saving rises and the interest rate falls. c. saving falls and the interest rate rises. d. saving and the interest rate fall.
Answer:
c. saving falls and the interest rate rises.
Explanation:
If Country A runs a budget deficit, it forces the government to issue bonds at reduced prices in order to raise funds to shore up the decreased government revenue. When bonds are issued, the government is mopping up the savings, thus reducing the available savings. With this increased budget deficit, interest rates will rise as the cost of funding increases to match the inflationary effect of the deficit. And the vicious circle starts.

marginal cost is calculated by dividing the incremental cost ($30) by the incremental output (21) = $30 / 21 = $1.4286 ≈ $1.43
A customer sells short 1,000 shares of ABC stock at $4 in a margin account. The customer must deposit:________.
A. $2,000
B. $2,500
C. $4,000
D. $5,000
Answer: $4000
Explanation:
A margin account is typically offered by a brokerage firms so that investors can borrow money in order to purchase securities.
A customer sells short 1,000 shares of ABC stock at $4 in a margin account. The customer must deposit:
= $4 × 1000
= $4000
The unfavorable volume variance may be due to all of the following factors except:_______
a. failure to maintain an even flow of work
b. machine breakdowns
c. failure to obtain enough sales orders
d. unexpected increases in the cost of utilities
Answer:
d. unexpected increases in the cost of utilities
Explanation:
there are several volume variances:
direct materials volume variancedirect labor volume variancemanufacturing overhead volume variance sales volume varianceUtilities are part of manufacturing overhead, but volume variances using the standard rates, so an unexpected increase in the cost of utilities will not affect the overhead volume variance.
The unfavorable volume variance can not be due because of unexpected Increases in the cost of utilities
Unfavorable volume variance means that the amount of applied fixed manufacturing overhead costs is less than the budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs
The machine breakdowns will affect production levels, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variance.
The failure to maintain even flow of work will impact the production quantities, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variances
The failure to obtain enough sales order will limit production quantities, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variances.
Thus, the Option D is correct because unfavorable volume variance can not be due because of unexpected Increases in the cost of utilities
