Answer:
1. The monthly payment is:
= $1,074.65
2. To solve this without a financial calculator, you will calculate the future value of the $150,000 at a discount rate of 0.5% (6%/12) for 240 months. Then the calculated Future Value is divided by 240 to obtain the monthly payment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mortgage = $150,000
Interest rate = 6% per year
Monthly payments = 240 (20 * 12)
Period of mortgage = 20 years
N (# of periods) 240
I/Y (Interest per year) 6
PV (Present Value) 150000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PMT = $1,074.65
Sum of all periodic payments = $257,915.18
Total Interest = $107,915.18
Without a financial calculator (using future value table):
Future value factor of 0.5% for 240 = 1.7194345
Future value of $150,000 = $257,915.18 ($150,000 * 1.7194345)
Monthly payment = $1,074.65 ($257,915/18/240)

10 percent decrease in consumer incomes leads to a 20 percent decrease in the quantity demanded of good D. Instructions: Round your answer to one decimal place. If you are entering a negative number be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of that number. The income elasticity of this good is: . This good can best be described as (Click to select) .
Answer:
Income elasticity = 2
Normal good
Explanation:
Below is the given values:
Percentage decrease in consumers income = 10%
Percentage decrease in quantity demanded = 20%
Use the below formula to find the income elasticity:
Income elasticity = % change in quantity demanded / % in income
Income elasticity = -20/-10
Income elasticity = 2
Since the elasticity is 2 that means good is normal good.
Suppose GDP consists of eggs and ham. In 2002, 100 dozen eggs are sold at $3 per dozen, and 50 pounds of ham are sold at $4 per pound. If in 2001, the base year, eggs sold at $1.50 per dozen and ham sold at $5 per pound, nominal 2002 GDP is
Answer:
Nominal GDP = $500
Explanation:
Given the price of eggs in 2002 = $3
Quantity of eggs = 100 dozens
Price of ham in 2002 = $4
Quantity of ham = 50 pounds
Nominal GDP = Current year price x current year quantity
Nominal GDP = 100 x 3 + 50 x 4
Nominal GDP = 300 + 200
Nominal GDP = $500

Manufacturing overhead allocated to jobs 33,800
Underallocated or overallocated Manufacturing overhead ?
Required:
Calculate the manufacturing overhead and indicate if the remainder is underallocated or overallocated for the year.
Answer:
Underapplied overhead= $1,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred $35,000
Manufacturing overhead allocated to jobs 33,800
To calculate the under/over allocation, we need to use the following formula:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 35,000 - 33,800
Underapplied overhead= $1,200
A convertible preferred stock is convertible at $10, pays a 4% annual dividend, is callable at $110, and is trading at a current market price of $116. Based on these details, what is the parity price of the common stock
Answer:
$11.60
Explanation:
In ascertaining the parity price of the common stock, we need to ascertain the conversion ratio which is the par price of the preferred stock divided by the convertible price
The par value of the preferred stock=$100(since call price is $110)
convertible price=$10
conversion ratio=$100/$10=10
The parity price is the current market price of the preferred stock divided by the conversion ratio
Parity price=$116/10
Parity price=$11.60

Dollars Percentage Beck Inc. $fill in the blank 3 fill in the blank 4 % Bryant Inc. $fill in the blank 5 fill in the blank 6 % c. The difference in the of operating income is due to the
Answer:
1. Operating leverage = Contribution margin / Net income
Beck Inc.
Operating leverage = $500,000 / $100,000
Operating leverage = 5
Bryant Inc.
Operating leverage = $750,000 / $300,000
Operating leverage = 2.5
2. Income from operations increase = Increase in sales * Degree of operating leverage
Dollar increase = Net income * Percentage
Beck Inc.
Percentage = 5*20 = 100% (Income from operations increase)
Dollar increase = $100,000 * 100% = $100,000

A construction manager just starting in private practice needs a van to carry crew and equipment. She can lease a used van for $3,510 per year, paid at the beginning of each year, in which case maintenance is provied. Alternatively, she can buy a used van for $5,185 and pay for maintenance herself. She expects to keep the van for three years at which time she could sell it for $1,330. What is the most she should pay for uniform annual maintenance to make it worthwhile to buy the van instead of leasing it, if her MARR is 20%
Answer:
$2,116
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Option 1 - Leasing
= 3510 + ( 3510 ÷ 1.2 ) + ( 3510 ÷ 1.2 ^ 2 )
= 8872.5
Now
Option 2 - Buying
Given that
Initial Cost - 5185
PV of salvage value = 1330 ÷ 1.2 ^ 3
= 769.68
So,
Cost = 5185 - 769.68
= 4457.176
Now the payment should be
= 4457.176 × 0.47473 (PV annuity factory for 20% at 3 years)
= $2,115.955
= $2,116
3. When Wassily Leontief tested the predictions of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory, he found that in 1947 the United States was exporting relatively labor-intensive goods and importing relatively capital-intensive goods. This finding: A. Contradicted the Heckscher-Ohlin theory as the United States was relatively capital-abundant. B. Contradicted the Heckscher-Ohlin theory as the United States was relatively labor-abundant. C. Was never duplicated by other studies and has thus been labeled a paradox. D. Fit the predictions of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory concerning the trading patterns of a capital-abundant country.
Answer:
A. Contradicted the Heckscher-Ohlin theory as the United States was relatively capital-abundant.
Explanation:
When Wassily Leontief tested the predictions of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory, he found that in 1947 the United States was exporting relatively labor-intensive goods and importing relatively capital-intensive goods. This finding: "Contradicted the Heckscher-Ohlin theory as the United States was relatively capital-abundant."
This is because Heckscher-Ohlin theory states that countries usually export commodities, and resources they have in excess, while in return, they import the commodities and resources they need.
However, given that the United States is a country that was relatively capital-abundant, Wassily Leontief's finding is considered to be a contradiction.
A monopolist that practices perfect price discrimination:_________.
A. charges each consumer the rnaximum price the consumer is willing to pay.
B. drives consumer surplus to zero
C. produces the perfectly competitive level of output.
D. All of the above are correct.
E. Only A and B are correct.
Answer:
D. All of the above are correct.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes. Any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market is generally referred to as a monopolist.
For example, a public power company is an example of a monopoly because they serve as the only source of power utility provider to the general public in a society.
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.
In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.
Price discrimination refers to the situation in which a business firm sells an identical product to different consumers at different selling price based on reasons that are not in any way associated or related with its manufacturing cost.
Hence, a monopolist that practices perfect price discrimination:
A. Charges each consumer the maximum price the consumer is willing to pay.
B. Drives consumer surplus to zero
C. Produces the perfectly competitive level of output.
Answer:
D. All of the above are correct.

The number of people employed in one country is 230 million, with a total number of unemployed people at 40 million. The total population for the country is 500 million. What is the unemployment rate? Group of answer choices
Answer:
Unemployment rate = 14.81 %
Explanation:
Unemployment is defined as the number of people that are willing and able to work in an economy but that are not able to get employment.
If is used as a measure of the level of economic growth of a country.

Janet and Megan are debating the use of student discounts by local stores near school. Janet argues, "When stores offer discounts to students with valid identification, it is price discrimination, because they are attempting to separate the market into two groups—each with different demands for that particular good." Megan responds with, "This is not a form of price discrimination, because there is no age restriction for students. Economists generally agree with :
a. Dina
b. Antonio
Answer:
Antonio
Explanation:
In simple words, Antonio has a lot of support among economists. Price discrimination occurs when a vendor is able to split clients into groupings or segregate a marketplace into two categories so that they may charge varying charges to that same two groups. It has hardly anything to deal with the customers' age.
Thus, Antonio is correct with his views.

What is depreciation?Depreciation is a term used in accounting to describe two different aspects of the same idea: first, the actual decline in an asset's fair value as it is used and worn, such as the annual decline in value of factory equipment, and second, the allocation in accounting statements of the asset's original cost to the periods in which the asset is used (depreciation with the matching principle).
Depreciation is the process of reallocating, or "writing down," the cost of a physical item (such as equipment) over the course of that asset's useful life. It also refers to the decline in asset value. Long-term assets are depreciated by businesses for accounting and tax reasons. A company's or entity's balance sheet is impacted by the asset's decline in value, and the income statement they report is impacted by the process of depreciation from an accounting standpoint.

However, the treasurer wants to know the money market yield on this instrument to make it comparable to the T-bills and CDs she has already bought. If the term of the instrument is 77 days, what are the bond equivalent and discount yields on this investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
Bond equivalent yield %
Discount yield %
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Given that,
EAR = 3.47%
1.0347 = (1+R ×77 ÷ 365)^365 ÷ 77
Now Take 365/77th root both sides
So,
1+R × 77 ÷ 365 = 1.00722
1+R × 0.2109 = 1.00722
R × 0.2109 =0.00722
R = 0.03423
Thus, Bond Equivalent Yield = 3.423%
Now
Discount Yield = (360 × 0.03423) ÷ (365+77 × 0.03423)
= 12.3244 ÷ 367.6361
= 0.03352
Thus, Discount Yield = 3.352%
The preferred stock of a company pays a $2.75 quarterly dividends. If the preferred stockholders' required return is 7.25% for these shares, what price should the preferred stock sell for?
82.35
151.72
92.31
114.29
167.74
Answer:
$151.72
Explanation:
Quarterly dividends of preferred stock = $2.75
Annual dividend of preferred stock = 4 * Quarterly dividend
Annual dividend of preferred stock = 4 * $2.75
Annual dividend of preferred stock = $11
Required return = 7.25% = 0.0725
Return = Dividend / Current price
0.0725 = $11 / Current price
Current price = $11 / 0.0725
Current price = 151.724138
Current price = $151.72
So, the preferred stock should sell for $151.72.
