Answer:
Due to historical differences, countries often differ in how quickly a change in actual inflation is incorporated into a change in expected inflation. In a country such as Japan, which has had very little inflation in recent memory, it will take longer for a change in the actual inflation rate to be reflected in a corresponding change in the expected inflation rate. In contrast, in a country such as Zimbabwe, which has recently had very high inflation, a change in the actual inflation rate will immediately be reflected in a corresponding change in the expected inflation rate.
What is the slope of Japan’s short-run Phillips curve?
Option B is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The slope of Japan’s short-run Phillips curve will be a flat downward slope because "it will take longer for a change in the actual inflation rate to be reflected in a corresponding change in the expected inflation rate".
Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
Wicker Rockers, Inc. is planning to offer a defined contribution plan for its employees. The company would like to incorporate a "cliff" vesting schedule for the employer contributions into the plan. What is the minimum vesting period the company can choose for a "cliff" vesting schedule
Answer:3 years
Explanation:
Cliff vesting is when an employee of a company becomes fully vested on a specified date rather than the employee becoming partially vested in increasing amounts over extended period. Cliff Vesting is a process whereby the employees are entitled to full benefits from their firm’s pension policies and qualified retirement plans on a given date.
Upon the completion of the cliff period, employees receive full benefits. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 deduced a three-year cliff vesting schedule for the designated defined-contribution plans which includes 401Ks.

Explanation:
Please note that In order to be fast, I make use of excel during the Calculation.
So, the first thing to do is to make sure that the observation is arranged in an increasing order.
Step one: Calculate the value for J1 and J3.
Know that J1 = J3. Where J3 = 3rd quartile.
Hence, J1 = 1st QUARTILE = QUARTILE. EXC (data, 1) = 18.
Also, J3 = QUARTILE. EXC(data, 3). = 29.5.
Therefore, the difference between the first quartile and the third QUARTILE = 29.5 - 18 = 11.5.
Step two: calculate the value for the higher fence and the lower fence respectively.
Thus, for the higher fence we have;
J3 + 1.5( 11.5).
= 29.5 + 1.5(11.5).
= 46.75.= (46.75 × 10) = 467.5).
Then, for the lower fence;
J1 - 1.5( 11.5).
= 18 - 1.5(11.5).
= 0.75 = (.75 × 10) = 7.5.

The 12/31/2018 balance sheet of Despot Inc. included the following: Common stock, 25 million shares at $20 par $ 500 million Paid-in capital—excess of par 3,000 million Retained earnings 980 million In January 2018, Despot recorded a transaction with this journal entry: Cash 150 million Common stock 100 million Paid-in capital—excess of par 50 million In February 2018, Despot declared cash dividends of $12 million to be paid in April of that year. What effect did the April transaction have on Despot's accounts? Decreased assets and liabilities. Increased liabilities and decreased shareholders' equity. Decreased assets and shareholders' equity. None of these answer choices are correct
Answer: Decreased assets and liabilities.
Explanation:
Both assets and Liabilities decrease as a result of the April transaction because first, Cash is used to pay the Dividend which reduces the cash account and Cash is an Asset.
Liabilities also decrease because when the dividends were declared in February, Despot Inc had to create a liability in their books to cater for the payment of the dividends. Now that the dividends have been paid, that figure will be removed therefore reducing Liabilities.

Calculate Caraway's stockholders' equity.
Answer:
A. $170,900
B. $20,300
C. $ 19,800
Explanation:
A. Accounting Equation ;
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
Therefore Equity = Assets - Liabilities
Total Assets - Caraway Seed Company
Current assets $ 48,800
Net fixed assets $ 248,800
Total Assets $ 297,600
Total Liabilities - Caraway Seed Company
current liabilities $ 28,500
long-term debt $ 98,200
Total $126,700
Equity = $ 297,600 - $126,700 = $170,900
B. Net working capital = Current Assets - Current liabilities
= $ 48,800 - $ 28,500
= $20,300
C. Net working capital = Current Assets - Current liabilities
= $ 48,800 - ( $18,500 + 10,500)

30. Oriole, Inc. leased equipment from Tower Company under a 4-year lease requiring equal annual payments of $254,152, with the first payment due at lease inception. The lease does not transfer ownership, nor is there a bargain purchase option. The equipment has a 4 year useful life and no salvage value. Oriole, Inc.’s incremental borrowing rate is 11% and the rate implicit in the lease (which is known by Oriole, Inc.) is 9%. Assuming that this lease is properly classified as a finance lease, what is the amount of Lease Liability reduction recorded in first year after the lease inception?
Answer:
$897,484.
Explanation:
Given:
Annual Payment = $254,152
The following company's average loan rate seems to be 11 per cent as well as the implied cost of the contract recognized by the company is 9 per cent.
Thus, the price implied in the contract that is recognized to the company would be 9 per cent although the contract doesn't often shift possession unless there is a negotiating opportunity to buy.
Let the lease year to Y = 4, and I = 9%
So, current value of the annuity is Y=4, I = 9% i.e., 3.53129
So, the cost documented for the contracted asset at the beginning of the contract [tex]=254,152\times3.53129=897,484[/tex]
Amount documented at the beginning of the contract for such contracted asset = $897,484
CSUSM is a zero growth company. It currently has zero debt and its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are $85,000. CSUSM 's current cost of equity is 11%, and its tax rate is 21%. The firm has 15,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Assume that CSUSM is considering changing from its original capital structure to a new capital structure with 39% debt and 61% equity. This results in a weighted average cost of capital equal to 8.7% and a new value of operations of $576,345. Assume CSUSM raises $165,000 in new debt and purchases T-bills to hold until it makes the stock repurchase. What is the stock price per share immediately after issuing the debt but prior to the repurchase?
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
Calculation of CSUSM 's New value of Operation :
For the purpose of Calculation of New Value of Operation we need to first calculate new WACC
Given :
Debt value ( Wd) = 30% or 0.30
Equity Value ( We)= 70% or 0.70
Cost of Debt ( Kd) =8%
New cost of equity (Ke) =12%
WACC =Kd(1-T) * Wd + Ke* We
WACC =[8%(1-0.40) * 0.30] + [12% * 0.70]
= [4.80% * 0.30 ] + [8.4 %]
= 1.44% + 8.4%
= 9.84 %
Given EBIT = $ 80,000
Tax rate = 40%
Currently the company has no growth. Therefore growth rate is 0 %
Value of New Operation =FCF / WACC
=EBIT (1-T) / WACC
=$80,000 (1-0.40)/ 9.84%
= $ 487,804.88

The Brenmar Sales Company had a gross profit margin (gross profitsdivided bysales) of 26 percent and sales of $ 8.3 million last year. 78 percent of the firm's sales are on credit, and the remainder are cash sales. Brenmar's current assets equal $ 1.9 million, its current liabilities equal $ 298 comma 900, and it has $ 108 comma 800 in cash plus marketable securities. a. If Brenmar's accounts receivable equal $ 562 comma 300, what is its average collection period? b. If Brenmar reduces its average collection period to 15 days, what will be its new level of accounts receivable? c. Brenmar's inventory turnover ratio is 9.2 times. What is the level of Brenmar's inventories?
Answer:
a. 31.70 days
b. $266,054.79
c. $667,608.70
Explanation:
a. If Brenmar's accounts receivable equal $ 562 comma 300, what is its average collection period?
Credit sales = $8,300,000 * 78% = $6,474,000
Average collection period = (Accounts receivable / Credit sales) * 365 = ($562,300 / $6,474,000) * 365 = 31.70 days
b. If Brenmar reduces its average collection period to 15 days, what will be its new level of accounts receivable?
Average Collection Period=365*Account Receivables/Credit Sales
New Account Receivables =Average Collection Period * (Credit Sales / 365) = 15 * ($6,474,000 / 365) = $266,054.79
c. Brenmar's inventory turnover ratio is 9.2 times. What is the level of Brenmar's inventories?
Gross Profit = Sales * Gross Profit Margin = $8,300,000 * 26% = $2,158,000
Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross Profit = $8,300,000 - 2,158,000 = $6,142,000
Inventory = Cost of goods sold / Inventory Turnover Ratio = $6,142,000 / 9.2 = $667,608.70

Answer: $10
Explanation:
The market supply curve is an upward sloping curve that depict the positive relationship that exists between the price and quantity supplied. It is derived by summing the quantity that the suppliers are willing to produce when the goods can be sold for a given price.
Suppose the market supply curve is p=5Q at a price of 10 , the producer surplus will be:
Producer surplus= (base × height)/2
Producer surplus = (2 × 10)/2
= 20/2
= $10
Given a supply curve of p = 5q, the producer surplus is equal to $10
From this question we have been given the price to be = p = 10
The formula says p = 5Q
10 = 5Q
Therefore Q= 10/5
Q = 2
Using the formula of area of a triangle,
1/2 * Base * height
We have the base = 2
While the height = 10
1/2*10*2
0.5*20
= 10
Therefore given a supply curve of p = 5q, the producer surplus is equal to $10

Pollution Busters Inc. is considering a purchase of 10 additional carbon sequesters for $120,000 apiece. The sequesters last for only 1 year before becoming saturated. Then the carbon is sold to the government. a. Suppose the government guarantees the price of carbon. At this price, the payoff after 1 year is $140,400 for sure. How would you determine the opportunity cost of capital for this investment? b-1. Suppose instead that the sequestered carbon has to be sold on the London Carbon Exchange. Carbon prices have been extremely volatile, but Pollution Busters’ CFO learns that average rates of return from investments on that exchange have been about 22%. She thinks this is a reasonable forecast for the future. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case? b-2. If the expected return on the investment is still 17%, but instead depends on the price of carbon (so that it is no longer risk-free), then is the purchase of additional sequesters an attractive investment for the firm?
Answer:
(a) 17% (b) the purchase of additional sequesters an attractive investment for the firm is worthwhile investment if no other similar project offers a higher return of over 17%, which in this case here is 17%.
Explanation:
Solution:
(a) Calculate the opportunity cost of capital
Opportunity cost of capital = pay off at one year/Current investment
= $140,400-$120,000/$120,000
=20,400/120,000 = 0.17 or 17%
What it means is that, the project offers a guarantee of 17% return. it should be accepted unless another project offers a higher return of over 17%
(b) The opportunity cost of capital, if the sequestered carbon has to be sold on the London Carbon Exchange which is simply the average rate of return of investment.
Therefore the opportunity cost per capital in this case is 22%
The purchase of additional sequesters an attractive investment for the firm is worthwhile investment if no other similar project offers a higher return of over 17%, which in this case here is 17%.
You are given the following information about 2 accounts: Account 1 Time Account Value before transactions Deposit Withdrawal 0 100 0.25 110 X 0.75 120 3X 1 82 Account 2 Time Account Value before transactions Deposit Withdrawal 0 100 0.5 120 2X 1 140 You are also told that the dollar weighted return over the year on account 1 is i. If the time weighted return over the year on account 2 is also i, what are X and i
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
For account 1:
Dollar weighted investment = 100 for entire year + X for three fourth of the year - 3X for one fourth of the year = 100 + 3X/4 - 3X/4 = 100
Dollar return = Closing balance - opening balance - (Total deposit - total withdrawal) = 82 - 100 - (X - 3X) = 2X - 18
Hence, dollar weighted return = i = Dollar return / Dollar weighted investment = (2X - 18) / 100
Or, 100i = 2X - 18 Or, 50i = X - 9
For account 2:
Time weighted return: It has two components:
100 growing to 120 in 0.5 year
Immediately after deposit of 2X, the capital becomes 120 + 2X that grows to become 140 in the next 0.5 year
Hence time weighted return = 1 + i = 120 / 100 x 140 / (120 + 2X) = 168 / (120 + 2X) = 84 / (60 + X)
From the first equation, i = (X - 9) / 50
Hence, from second equation, 1 + i = 1 + (X - 9) / 50 = (41 + X) / 50 = 84 / (60 + X)
Hence, (60 + X).(41 + X) = 50 x 84
Hence, X2 + 101X + 2,460 = 4,200
Or, X2 + 101X - 1,740 = 0
It's a quadratic equation that can be factorized as:
(X - 15).(X + 116) = 0
Hence, X = 15
Hence, i = (X - 9) / 50 = (15 - 9) / 50 = 0.12 = 12%

Enviro Company issues 8%, 10-year bonds with a par value of $300,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 10%, which implies a selling price of 87 1/2. The straight-line method is used to allocate interest expense. 1. Using the implied selling price of 87 ½, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds? 2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds? 3. What is the amount of bond interest expense recorded on the first interest payment date?
Answer:
1. Issuer's cash is $262,500
2. Total amount of bond interest is $277,500
3. The amount of bond interest expense is $13,875.
Explanation:
1. Issuer's cash = Face Value × Selling Price
Issuer's cash = $300,000 × 87.50%
Issuer's cash = $262,500
2. Discount on bond = $300,000 × 12.5% = $37,500
Interest on bond = $300,000 × 8% = $24,000
Period of bonds= 10 years
Total amount of bond interest = Discount on Bond + (Interest on Bond × period)
Total amount of bond interest = $37,500 + ($24,000 × 10)
Total amount of bond interest = $277,500
3. Discount on bond = $300,000 × 12.5% = $37,500
Interest on bond = $300,000 × 8% = $24,000
Period = 0.5 years
The amount of bond interest expense = (Discount of Bond ÷ 20) + Interest
The amount of bond interest expense = ($37,500 ÷ 20) + ($24,000 × 0.5)
The amount of bond interest expense = $1,875 + $12,000
The amount of bond interest expense = $13,875.

The formula is
= (Building cost of warehouse + bonus) × probability percentage
Date Calculation Amount
July 31, 2018 ($950,000+$50,000) × 0.65 $650,000
August 7, 2018 ($950,000+$40,000) × 0.25 $247,500
August 14, 2018 ($950,000+$30,000) × 0.05 $49,000
August 21, 2018 ($950,000+$20,000) × 0.05 $48,500
Total $995,000
Since the bonus is reduced $10,000 each week so $10,000 is deducted for every delayed week

A company can sell all the units it can produce of either Product A or Product B but not both. Product A has a unit contribution margin of $16 and takes two machine hours to make and Product B has a unit contribution margin of $30 and takes three machine hours to make. If there are 5,000 machine hours available to manufacture a product, income will be:
a. $10,000 more if Product A is made.
b. $10,000 less if Product B is made.
c. $10,000 less if Product A is made.
d. the same if either product is made.
Answer:
Product B has a net income of $10,000 superior to Product A.
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product A:
Unitary contribution margin= $16
Machine-hours required= 2
Product B:
Unitary contribution margin= $30
Machine-hours required= 3
First, we will calculate the total income of both products.
Product A= 16*(5,000/2)= $40,000
Product B= 30*(5,000/3)= $50,000
Product B has a net income of $10,000 superior to Product A.
The predetermined overhead rate for Zane Company is $5, comprised of a variable overhead rate of $3 and a fixed rate of $2. The amount of budgeted overhead costs at normal capacity of $150000 was divided by normal capacity of 30000 direct labor hours, to arrive at the predetermined overhead rate of $5. Actual overhead for June was $9500 variable and $6050 fixed, and standard hours allowed for the product produced in June was 3000 hours. The total overhead variance is
Answer:
Total Overhead Variance= $500 unfavorable
Explanation:
The total overhead variance is the difference between actual overhead and the applied overhead.
Actual Overhead = Variable + Fixed= $9500 + $6050= $ 15,550
Budgeted Overhead for 30000 direct labor hours = $ 150,000
Applied Overhead for 3000 hours = 3000 *$5= $15000
Total Overhead Variance= Actual Overhead Less Applied Overhead
= $15,500- $ 15000= $500 unfavorable
As actual is greater than applied it is unfavorable.
Answer:
$550 unfavorable.
Explanation:
Total actual overhead = $9,500 + $6,050 = $15,550
Total predetermined overhead = Predetermined overhead rate * Standard hours = $5 * 3,000 = $15,000
Total overhead variance = $15,550 - $15,000 = $550 unfavorable.
Note: It is unfavorable because total actual is greater than total predetermined overhead.

Giving the following information:
Nicholas Health Systems recently reported an EBITDA of $25.0 million and a net income of $15.8 million. It had $2.0 million of interest expense, and its federal tax rate was 21%
We need to reverse engineer the net income calculation to determine the depreciation and amortization:
EBT= net income/(1-t)
EBT= 15,800,000/(1 - 0.21)
EBT= 20,000,000
EBIT= EBT + Interest
EBIT= 20,000,000 + 2,000,000
EBIT= 22,000,000
Now, we can determine D and A:
D and A= EBITDA - EBIT
DA= 25,000,000 - 22,000,000
DA= 3,000,000
