Answer:
c
Explanation:
Reserve ratio is the percentage of deposits that is required of commercial banks to keep as reserves. The lower the ratio, the higher the increase in money supply
Money multiplier = 1 / reserve requirement
Money multiplier when reserve ratio is 10% = 1/10 = 0.1 = 10%
Money multiplier when reserve ratio is 20% =1/20 = 0.05 = 5%
there is a decrease of money multiplier from 5% to 10% when reserve ratio is increased from 10 percent to 20 percent
Costs of $5,000 were incurred to acquire goods and make them ready for sale. The goods were shipped to the buyer (FOB shipping point) for a cost of $200. Additional necessary costs of $400 were incurred to acquire the goods. No other incentives or discounts were available. What is the buyer's total cost of merchandise inventory?a. $5,000.b. $5,200.c. $5,400. d. $5,600.
Answer:
d. $5,600
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost of merchandise inventory is shown below:
Cost of goods purchased $5,000
Add: Shipping charges (FOB point) $200
Additional necessary costs to purchase the goods $400
Buyer’s total cost of merchandise inventory $5,600
Hence, the total cost of merchandise inventory is $5,600
Therefore the option d is correct
NFL players and owners are trying to negotiate a new labor contract. The owners are getting ready to send the contract over to the players who can then choose to accept the terms or keep bargaining. The owners are deciding whether to stipulate 16 games or 18 games as part of the contract. They would prefer 18 games, but they are worried that the players will not accept the contract and will keep bargaining if they put 18 games in the contract. The situation is described by the sequential game tree below: In the Nash equilibrium, the owners will choose ____________ and the players will respond by choosing to _________________.
Answer:
The answer is "16 games; accept the terms".
Explanation:
In this case, the players will decide the strategy first, followed by the owners.
Participants will choose the Keep Bargaining strategy to maximize its reward in the subgame of Owners' 18 games. "As a consequence, and here is the outcome:"
Players will choose the Accept Terms strategy to maximize the reward in the subgame Players on Owners' 16 games. (350M) and (250M) are the results.
To get a larger payout of $350M, the Owner would have to select a strategy among 16 games. Nash equilibrium is ($350M, $250M) in this case. It implies that the Owner's strategy in Nash equilibrium is to play 16 games, while the Players' strategy is to accept Terms.
On November 1, 2015, Lendem, Inc. loaned an employee $100,000 at 6% with both the interest and principal due in one year. The adjusting entry to record the interest earned but not received as of December 31, 2015 includes a: A. debit to Interest Receivable of $1,000 B. debit to Interest Revenue of $1,000 C. debit to Interest Payable of $6,000 D. debit to Cash of $5,000 E. debit to Interest Receivable of $6,000

To Interest Revenue $1,000.00
(being the interest earned but not received is recorded)
Here the interest receivable is debited as it increased the assets and credited the interest revenue as it also increased the revenue
When it comes to retaining employees, it is not enough to have a diverse organization, it must be inclusive too. A. True B. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Diversity involves having different demographical groups being represented in a company's labor force such as different races and genders. This gives the company an edge because they can draw upon the experiences of these workers to find out how best to appeal to a particular demographical group.
Diversity is not enough however because inclusion is important as well. Inclusion means that these various groups are able to contribute meaningfully to the company instead of just being hired for publicity purposes. They should have management positions and the like to show that they are indeed part of the company.

Starfish Enterprises management has obtained data on the material costs for a selected job which used 300 feet of materials, while estimates for the job required only 260 feet of materials. The materials price per unit was the same. Which is not a reason for the difference in material usage? A new employee worked on the job. The material used was of poor quality. The cutting tools were in need of repair. The cost of materials increased from the time of the estimate.
Answer:
Starfish Enterprises
The reason that is not the cause of the difference in material usage is:
The cost of materials increased from the time of the estimate.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Units of materials used for the job = 300 feet
Standard units of materials for similar job = 260 feet
Unit variance = 40 Unfavorable (300 - 260)
b) Material usage variance does not concern with the cost of materials. Since it is stated that the materials price per unit remained the same in both instances, the cost of materials increasing is certainly not a factor for the material usage variance. The variance is caused by the other factors.
You currently have $150,000 in an IRA designated for retirement. If you save an additional $100 at the end of every month and expect to earn an annual return of 12 percent, how much do you expect to have in the IRA in 10 years?
Answer:
$518,061.90
Explanation:
The value of the retirement savings at retirement date is the future value of both its current balance of $150,000 and future value of $100 per month for 10 years compounded at the monthly rate of return
FV=PV*(1+r)^n+ monthly savings*(1+r)^n-1/r
PV=$150,000
r=monthly rate of return=12%/12=1%=0.01
monthly savings=$100
n=number of monthly savings in 10 years=10*12=120
FV=$150000*(1+0.01)^120+$100*(1+0.01)^120-1/0.01
FV=$150000*(1.01)^120+$100*(1.01)^120-1/0.01
FV=$150000*3.30038689+$100*(3.30038689-1)/0.01
FV=$150000*3.30038689+$100*2.30038689/0.01
FV=$495,058.03+$ 23,003.87
FV=$518,061.90
Find the payment that should be used for the annuity due whose future value is given. Assume that the compounding period is the same as the payment period. $120,000; monthly payments for 7 years; interest rate 7%. g
Answer:
$1,104.68
Explanation:
The payment applicable to the future value of the annuity due can be determined using the future value formula for the annuity due provided below by rearranging the formula such payment is made the subject:
FV=monthly payment*(1+r)^n-1/r*(1+r)
FV=future value=$120,000
monthly payment=unknown(let us assume it is MP)
r=monthly interest rate=7%/12=0.005833333
n=number of monthly payments in 7 years=7*12=84
$120,000=MP*(1+0.005833333)^84-1/0.005833333*(1+0.005833333)
$120,000=MP*(1.005833333)^84-1/0.005833333*(1.005833333)
$120,000=MP*(1.629994009 -1)/0.005833333*1.005833333
$120,000=MP*0.629994009 /0.005833333*1.005833333
$120,000=MP*108.628973152
MP=$120,000/108.628973152
MP=$1,104.68

The only way to decrease your lifestyle budget is by completely eliminating an item.
True
False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
A budget is a financial plan used for the estimation of revenue and expenditures of an individual, organization or government for a specified period of time, often one year. Budgets are usually compiled, analyzed and re-evaluated on periodic basis.
The first step of the budgeting process is to prepare a list of each type of income and expense that will be part of the budget.
A lifestyle can be defined as the way and manner an individual chooses to live his or her life. Similarly, a lifestyle budget comprises the cost of goods and services an individual has chosen to spend his or her money on.
Basically, completely eliminating an item isn't the only way to decrease a lifestyle budget because there could be similar items that even cost way more than the eliminated item.
Some of the benefits of having a budget is that it aids in setting goals, earmarking revenues and resources, measuring outcomes and planning against contingencies.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The only way to decrease your lifestyle budget is by completely eliminating an item.

Maxim manufactures a hamster food product called Green Health. Maxim currently has 15,500 bags of Green Health on hand. The variable production costs per bag are $2.90 and total fixed costs are $21,000. The hamster food can be sold as it is for $10.00 per bag or be processed further into Premium Green and Green Deluxe at an additional cost. The additional processing will yield 15,500 bags of Premium Green and 4,100 bags of Green Deluxe, which can be sold for $9 and $7 per bag, respectively. The incremental revenue of processing Green Health further into Premium Green and Green Deluxe would be:_________.
a. $163,200.
b. $13,200.
c. $8,200.
d. $5,000.
e. $168,200.
Answer:
b. $13,200.
Explanation:
Revenue from the sale of Green Health bags = Number of bags * Selling price
Revenue from the sale of Green Health bags = 15,500 bags * $10
Revenue from the sale of Green Health bags = $155,000
Revenue from Premium Green = Number of bags * Selling price
Revenue from Premium Green = 15,500 bags * $9
Revenue from Premium Green = $139,500
Revenue from Green Deluxe = Number of bags * Selling price
Revenue from Green Deluxe = 4,100 bags * $7
Revenue from Green Deluxe = $28,700
Incremental revenue = Revenue from Premium Green + Revenue from Green Deluxe - Revenue from Green Health\
Incremental revenue = $139,500 + $28,700 - $155,000
Incremental revenue = $13,200
So, the incremental revenue of processing Green Health further into Premium Green and Green Deluxe would be $13,200.
If the actual output of a piece of equipment during an hour is 500 units and its best operating level is at a rate of 400 units per hour, which of the following is the capacity utilization rate?
a. 1.33
b. 1.00
c. 0.75
d. 1.25
Answer:
d. 1.25
Explanation:
In a business context, the capacity utilization rate is a value that allows the company know how well they are performing compared to what the recorded optimal levels are. In order to calculate this value we simply divide the current operating level for a specific time-period by the optimal level of that same time period, which in this case would be 1 hour. Therefore, in this case we would divide 500 by 400 which would give us 1.25.
The following estimates have been prepared for a project:Fixed costs: $27,000Depreciation: $18,000Sales price per unit: $4Accounting break-even: 50,000 unitsWhat must be the variable cost per unit
Answer: $3.10
Explanation:
Accounting breakeven = Fixed costs / Contribution margin
Fixed costs = Fixed costs + Depreciation = 27,000 + 18,000 = $45,000
50,000 units = 45,000 / Contribution margin
Contribution * 50,000 = 45,000
Contribution = 45,000 / 50,000
Contribution margin = 0.9
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost
0.9 = 4 - Variable cost
Variable cost = 4 - 0.9
= $3.10
Andrews Company currently has the following balances in their liability and equity accounts: Total Liabilities: $52,319,000 Common Stock: $8,808,000 Retained Earnings: $45,066,000 Next year the Andrews Company generates $11,500,000 in Net Profit, pays $5,000,000 in dividends, and total liabilities and common stock remain unchanged. What will their total assets be next year
Answer: $112,693,000
Explanation:
Total assets = Equity + Liabilities
Liabilities will not change in the new year.
Retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividends
= 45,066,000 + 11,500,000 - 5,000,000
= $51,566,000
Assets = (8,808,000 + 51,566,000) + 52,319,000
= $112,693,000
Note: Equity is the sum of common stock and retained earnings

If 11 workers can produce a total of 54 units of a product and a 12th worker has a marginal product of 6 units, then the average product of 12 workers is:
Answer:
the average product of 12 workers is 5
Explanation:
The computation of the average product of 12 workers is shown below:
= (Number of units of a product in the case of 11th workers + marginal product of units in 12th worker) ÷ number of workers
= (54 + 6) ÷ 12
= 5
Hence, the average product of 12 workers is 5

Suppose an economy starts the year with $100 million in capital, and during the course of a year, it adds $20 million of gross investment. Economists estimate that the depreciation rate for this economy is 9% per year.
Required:
a. Calculate depreciation and net investment for this economy.
b. Calculate the value of net exports.
Answer:
Correct word for question b. "Now calculate the amount of next year's beginning capital stock for this economy"
a. Begins the year with $100 million in capital. Depreciation rate is 9% per year
Depreciation = 9% * $100 million
Depreciation = 0.09 * $100 million\
Depreciation = $9 million
Gross investment = $20 million
Net investment = Gross investment - Depreciation
Net investment = $20 million - $9 million
Net investment = $11 million
b. Next year begining capital stock = Capital stock at the begining of previous year + Net investment
Next year begining capital stock = $100 million + $11 million
Next year begining capital stock = $111 million
On June 1, 20--, a depreciable asset was acquired for $5,460. The asset has an estimated useful life of five years (60 months) and no salvage value. Using the straight-line depreciation method, calculate the book value as of December 31, 20--. If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
$4823
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
5460 / 5 = 1092
7/12 X 1092 = 637
5460 - 637 = 4823
Capital gains may be preferred by investors over dividends even if dividends and capital gains are taxed at the same rate because
a. taxes on dividends are withheld immediately
b. taxes on capital gains are paid annually
c. taxes on capital gains can be timed
d. after-tax dividends are less certain than capital gains
Answer: c. taxes on capital gains can be timed
Explanation:
Capital gains represent an appreciation in the value of a security therefore they bring in profit to the owners of that security. Capital gains are not taxed until the owner sells the security which means that these taxes can be timed by the owner who can decide to sell at specific times to reduce their tax bill.
This is different from dividends that are taxed as soon as the company declares them. The investors have no say as to the tax timing so they will prefer capital gains where they have some form of control.

April 1 April 30 Raw materials inventory $10,500 $13,500 Work in process inventory 5,350 3,770 Materials purchased in April $98,100 Direct labor in April 80,300 Manufacturing overhead in April 160,000 Prepare the cost of goods manufactured schedule for the month of April
Answer:
cost of goods manufactured= $336,980
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the direct material used:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 10,500 + 98,100 - 13,500
Direct material used= $95,100
Now, the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 5,350 + 95,100 + 80,300 + 160,000 - 3,770
cost of goods manufactured= $336,980
