Many investment advisors argue that after stocks have declined in value for 2 consecutive years, people should invest heavily because the market rarely declines 3 years in a row. a) Since the stock market began in 1872, there have been two consecutive losing years eight times. In six of those cases, the market rose during the following year. Does this confirm the advice

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Yes it does

Explanation:

The investment advisors say that the market rarely declines three years in a row.

Since 1872, it has declined two years in a row 8 times and three years in a row, only twice.

This means out of 8 times, it declined twice. Percentage of times it declined was:

= 2 / 8 * 100%

= 25%

25% while not rare, is a good enough percentage to trust the advice of the investment advisors.

AudioCables, Inc., is currently manufacturing an adapter that has a variable cost of $0.60 per unit and a selling price of $1.20 per unit. Fixed costs are $14,000. Current sales volume is 30,000 units. The firm can substantially improve the product quality by adding a new piece of equipment at an additional fixed cost of $6,000. Variable costs would increase to $0.75, but sales volume should jump to 50,000 units due to a higher-quality product. a. What is the current profit and proposed profit of the sales of AudioCables

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "$4,000 and $2,500"

Explanation:

Formula:  

[tex]\text{Profit = Sales - Total cost}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{\text{Selling price}}{unit} \times \text{volume of Sale} - ( \text{Fixed cost} + \frac{\text{Variable cost}}{unit} \times \text{volume of Sale})[/tex]

[tex]= 1.20 \times 30000 - ( 14,000 + 0.6 \times 30,000)\\\\= 36,000 -( 14,000 + 18,000)\\\\= 36,000 - 14,000 - 18,000 \\\\= 36,000 - 32,000 \\\\= \$ 4,000[/tex]

 The scenario was revised by installing new audio connection equipment:

The volume of revised sales[tex]= 50,000[/tex]

Fixed cost updated [tex]= \$ 41,000 + \$ 6,000 = \$ 20,000[/tex]

Cost of the updated component  [tex]= \frac{\$ 0.75}{unit}[/tex]

Unchanged purchase price/unit [tex]= \frac{\$ 1.2}{unit}[/tex]

[tex]= 1.2 \times 50,000 -(20,000 + 0.75 \times 50,000)\\\\= 60,000 -(20,000 + 37,500)\\\\= 60,000 -(57,500)\\\\= 60,000 -57,500 \\\\ =2,500[/tex]

Sue views hot dogs (H) and hot dog buns (B) as perfect complements in her consumption, and the corners of her indifference curves follow the 45-degree line: H-B. Suppose the price of hot dogs is $5 per package (8 hot dogs), the price of buns is $3 per package (8 hot dog buns), and Sue's budget is $48 per month. What is her optimal choice under this scenario?
A. 6 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns.
B. 6 packages of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.
C. 8 packages of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.
D. 8 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns.

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

a budget constraint is the total amount of goods and services an individual can buy given the price of the products and the income of the consumer.

Sue is constrained by her income. Thus, she must spend within $48

The equation for this is :

$5H + $3B = $48

where  

H = hot dogs

B = Hot dog buns

(5 x 6 ) + (3 x 6 ) = $48

Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning of 2018.

Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who together produced an average of 100 carts per hour. Workers receive $11 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $12 per hour, while output increased by 4 carts per hour. a. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

B. Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour

Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

Explanation:

A. Computation of labor productivity under each system

Labor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/6 workers

Labor productivity Before=16 cart per workers-hour

Labor productivity After=(100 carts per hour+4 carts per hour)/4 workers

Labor productivity After=(104carts per hour /4 workers

Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour

B. Computation of the multifactor productivity under each system.

Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/(6 workers*$11 per hour)+$40 per hour

Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/($66 per hour+$40 per hour)

Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/$106 per hour

Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour

Multifactor productivity before=(100carts per hour + 4carts per hour)/(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)

Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)

Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /($66 per hour+$52 per hour)

Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /118per hour

Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

Beth, an employer, wants to hire someone for a strenuous job that requires a great deal of training, which will take place over the course of several years. The applicant who appears most qualified is 58 years old; however, Beth is concerned that the applicant will not be able to handle the physical demands of the position in the long run. Further, she is concerned that the applicant will only continue working for several more years before she retires. Does Beth hire the applicant anyway

Answers

Answer:

Beth should not hire the applicant.

Explanation:

Based on common hiring practices, Beth should not hire the applicant. Mainly due to the applicant's age. It costs a company a large amount of money to properly train an employee in order to have them be as efficient as possible when working for the company. This is regardless of their current experience, therefore if a candidate is as old as this particular candidate and is already thinking of retiring then it will be a waste of company resources to hire the individual candidate. Instead, Beth should go for someone with the same experience/skills but will instead be with the company for the long term.

B) Suppose that regular raises at your job allow you to increase your annual payment by 5% each year. For simplicity, assume this is a nominal rate, and your payment amount increases continuously. How long will it take to pay off the mortgage

Answers

Answer:

Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years            

Explanation:

Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. But I have found that necessary data on the internet, which I have written down and solved the question accordingly.

Data Missing:

Buying Cost of House = $320000

Interest rate = 7%

Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8

Now, we are required to calculate the time period required to pay off the mortgage.

Solution:

Data Given:

Increase in annual payment percentage = 5%

So,

Formula:

P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] +  C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] +   C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex]  + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]

Where,

P = Buying Cost of House = $320000

i = interest rate = 7% = 0.07

A = Increase in annual payment percentage = 5% = 0.05

C = Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8

P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] +  C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] +   C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex]  + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]

In this formula, we have all the required things expect the value of n, which we have to calculate.

n = Time period required to pay the mortgage.

So,

$320000 = 25525.8 [tex]e^{0.05 - 0.07}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{2(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{3(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + ..... + 25525.8 [tex]e^{n(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex]

Taking 25525.8 common,

320000 = 25525.8  ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] +  [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex]  + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )

320000/25525.8  = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] +  [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex]  + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )

12.536 = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] +  [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex]  + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )

Taking e common:

12.536 = [tex]e^{-0.02 -0.04 - 0.06 + .... -0.02n}[/tex]

Taking Ln to solve for n, we get:

n = 17.89

n ≈ 18

n = 18 years

Hence, Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years

Lincoln Company purchased merchandise from Grandville Corp. on September 30, 2021. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400 on each September 30, beginning on September 30, 2024. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.) Required: Calculate the amount at which Lincoln should record the note payable and corresponding purchases on September 30, 2021, assuming that an interest rate of 9% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.

Answers

Answer: $16,613

Explanation:

As the noninterest-bearing note required Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400, this is an annuity because it is a constant figure.

The amount that should be recorded is the present value of this amount.

Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -no. of periods) / rate

= 4,400 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9%)⁻⁶) / 9%

= $19,738

This present value is for September 30, 2023. It needs to be discounted further to September 30, 2021.

= 19,738 / (1 + 9%)²

= $16,613

Answers

Answer:

(a) The amount needed is $192,000.

(b) The monthly payment is $150.98.

Explanation:

Note: There are errors in this question. The correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.

This can be calculated using the following future value formula:

FV = P / i ........................... (1)

Where;

FV = Amount needed at maturity = ?

P = Monthly payment or amount to generate monthly = $1,200

i = monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 7.25% / 12 = 0.075 / 12 = 0.00625

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $1,200 / 0.00625 = $192,000

Therefore, the amount needed is $192,000.

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.

This can be calculated using the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)

Where,

FV = Future value = $192,000

M = Monthly payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = 9.75% / 12 = 0.0975 / 12 = 0.008125

n = number of months = 25 years * Number of months in a year = 25 * 12 = 300

Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for M, we have:

$192,000 = M * (((1 + 0.008125)^300 - 1) / 0.008125)

$192,000 = M * 1271.65920375075

M = $192,000 / 1271.65920375075

M = $150.98

Therefore, the monthly payment is $150.98.

Answers

Answer:

(a) Straight-line

depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800

depreciation expense per year = $100,800 / 7 = $14,400

depreciation expense 2020 = $14,400

depreciation expense 2021 = $14,400

(b) Units-of-output

depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800

depreciation expense per unit = $100,800 / 630,000 = $0.16

depreciation expense 2020 = $0.16 x 59,400 = $9,504

depreciation expense 2021 = $0.16 x 51,800 = $8,288

(c) Working hours

depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800

depreciation expense per working hour = $100,800 / 50,400 = $2

depreciation expense 2020 = $2 x 6,480 = $12,960

depreciation expense 2021 = $2 x 5,940 = $11,880

(d) Sum-of-the-years' digits

depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800

depreciation expense 2020 = $100,800 x 7/28 = $25,200

depreciation expense 2021 = $100,800 x 6/28 = $21,600

(e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate)

depreciation expense 2020 = $100,800 x 2/7 = $28,800

depreciation expense 2021 = $72,000 x 2/7 = $20,571

Explanation:

An economic model is a caricature of reality. It allows users to observe, understand and predict economic phenomena. Economic models don't capture every detail of the real world

Examples of economic models include :

the production possibility frontierthe Keynesian IS/LM modelthe Mundell-Fleming model.

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.

False

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.

Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.

Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of trademarks, copyright and patents.

In this scenario, Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company.

Since Gidgit is patented it cannot be sold to the government because it is a registered intellectual property that cannot be used or sold without the approval or consent of the owner.

Mohawk Machining, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400 Units started and completed during the period: 6,500 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
A- 80%.
B- 70%.
C- 60%. - 40%.
D- some other percentage not listed above.

Answers

Answer:

C. 60%

Explanation:

Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00      

Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00      

Units started and completed = 6,500.00

Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).

Let % Completion be x      

X% of 1500 = 900      

X = 900*100/1500      

X = 60%.

Imprudential, Inc., has an unfunded pension liability of $573 million that must be paid in 20 years. To assess the value of the firm’s stock, financial analysts want to discount this liability back to the present. If the relevant discount rate is 6.6 percent, what is the present value of this liability?

Answers

Answer:

$159.59  million

Explanation:

The present value of the liability is the future value of the obligation which in this case is $573 million discounted at the 6.6% appropriate discount chosen by the analyst as shown below:

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV=the present value of the obligation=the unknown

FV=$573 million

r=discount rate=6.6%

n=number of years before the liability becomes due=20

PV=$573 million/(1+6.6%)^20

PV=$573 million/1.066^20

PV=$573 million/3.590410405

PV=$159.59  million

Dr Bad debt expense $34,970

Cr Allowance for uncollectible account $34,970

3. $28,300

4. $28,300

Explanation:

1. Calculation for What was the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020

Balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020=$10,000/ 10%

Balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020 = $100,000

Therefore the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020 will be $100,000

2. Preparation of the journal entry that Johnson should record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021

2021

Dr Bad debt expense $34,970

Cr Allowance for uncollectible account $34,970

(10%*$166,700 + $18,300)

3. Calculation to Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021

2021 Accounts receivable written off = $10,000 - (-$18,300)

2021 Accounts receivable written off= $28,300

Therefore the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021 will be $28,300

4. In a situation where Johnson used the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021 will be $28,300 calculated as : [$10,000 - (-$18,300) ]

=$28,300

Therefore the Bad debt expense under direct write off method will be $28,300
