Answer:
$54,639
Explanation:
the approximate amount of principal reduction when the second lease payment is made in Year 2 can be calculated by making the Lease amortization table as follows
DATA
Annual payments = 68,830
Implicit rate = 8%
Annuty factor for 4 years at 8% = 3.55710
Present value of lease payment =$246,212 (68830*3.57710 )
Year 1 Year 2
Opening balance - $177,382(w)
interest - $14,191(w)
payments $68,830 $68,830
principal payments $68,830 $54,639
closing balance $177,382(w) $122,743
Working
Closing balance = Present value of lease payment - Annual payment
Closing balance = $256,212 - $68,830
Closing balance = $177,382
Interest = closing balance x implicit rate
Interest = $177,382 x 8%
Interest = $14,190.56

Full question reads;
The issue of _____ concerns how often a particular project will be repeated and what its lifespan will be.
a. frequency
b. consumption
c. pressures
d. rules
Answer:
a. frequency
Explanation:
Indeed, no particular human project can last forever, so there is a need to ascertain the frequency of a project, detailing how often the project would be repeated so as to also determine what the project's lifespan will be.
For example, a road construction project may take into account how often the road would be used, which provides insight into the frequency of road repairs and the overall lifetime of the car.
The issue of _____ concerns how often a particular project will be repeated and what its lifespan will be.
Blossom Street Inc. makes unfinished bookcases that it sells for $57. Production costs are $37 variable and $10 fixed. Because it has unused capacity, Blossom Street is considering finishing the bookcases and selling them for $70. Variable finishing costs are expected to be $6 per unit with no increase in fixed costs. Prepare an analysis on a per unit basis showing whether Blossom Street should sell unfinished or finished bookcases. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
Answer and Explanation:
The Preparation of an analysis on a per unit basis is shown below:-

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 30 years. To do this, you will invest $900 a month in a stock account and $600 a month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 8 percent, and the bond account will pay 5 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with a return of 6 percent. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 15-year withdrawal period
Answer:
$15,533.69
Explanation:
the future value of your stock account = $900 x 1,490.48048 (FV annuity factor, 0.6667%, 360 periods) = $1,341,432.43
the future value of your bond account = $600 x 832.32019 (FV annuity factor, 0.4167%, 360 periods) = $499,392.11
after 30 years, the balance of your 2 accounts = $1,840,824.54
the monthly withdrawal = $1,840,824.54 / 118.50531 (PV annuity factor, 0.5%, 180 periods) = $15,533.69

Suppose an item sells for $125 in the United States and for 62,500 pesos in Chile. According to the law of one price, the nominal exchange rate (pesos/dollar) should be ________.
Answer:
$1 = 500 Pesos
1 Pesos = $0.002
Explanation:
$125 = 62,500 Pesos
$1 = 62,500 / 125

Chester currently has $17,624 (000) in cash and management has decided to issue stocks and bonds worth an additional $8,000 (000). Assuming that cash from operations will be the same for each of the following activities, which activity exposes this company to the most risk of being issued an emergency loan?
a) purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equiptment
b) liquidate the new inventory
c) retiring the oldest bond
d) a $5 dividend
Answer: a) purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equipment
Explanation:
Of the 4 options listed, liquidating the new inventory would lead to a cash inflow and so is not going to lead to an emergency loan.
Retiring the oldest bond is something that would probably have been budgeted for so it will be less probable to cause Chester to seek emergency funding.
The activity that poses the greatest threat to Chester in terms of loan solicitation would be the purchase of plant and equipment. This would have less chance of being budgeted for and is a significant amount to leave the company which is even larger than the company's current cash amount. It has a higher chance of causing Chester to seek emergency loan funding.

b. Which crew size works best?
Answer:
a. Labor productivity is calculated as: Labor productivity = Total Yards Installed / Total Crew Size
Hence, the labor productivity for each week is;
Week 1 = 97 / 4 = 24.25
Week 2 = 71 / 3 = 23.67
Week 3 = 98 / 4 = 24.5
Week 4 = 54 / 2 = 27
Week 5 = 63 / 3 = 21
Week 6 = 52 / 2 = 26
b. A crew of size 2 works the best as they generate the highest labor productivity of 27. The crew with highest number generate a labor productivity of 24.5

If an investor's aversion to risk increased, would the risk premium on a high beta stock increase by more or less than that of a low-beta stock? Explain.
Answer:
risk premium increases by more of the low - beta stock
A risk averse investor is an investor that avoids risk. if risk aversion increases, it means that the investor is more wary of risky investment.
Beta measures the volatility of a portfolio. the higher the volatility, the more risky the portfolio is.
risk premium measures the rate of return in excess of the risk free rate.
According to CAPM :
risk free rate + (beta x stock risk premium)
Beta is a multiplier of stock risk premium, so the higher the beta, the more there would be an increase in the stock risk premium
If a risk averse investor invests in a high beta stock, he would want extra or higher compensation for holding such a volatile stock. this extra compensation would be in the form of a higher risk premium.

The development manager is required to choose between two projects. Project A has an IRR of 25% and project B has an IRR of 30%. Which of the following statements is correct? A. If she can invest only in one project, the manager will choose project B B. None of the statements above is correct C. If she can invest only in one project, the manager will choose project A D. If she can invest in both projects, the manager will choose both projects A and B
Answer:
A
D
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
Because the IRR of both projects are positive, both projects are acceptable.
If the manager can only choose one project, she should choose the one with the higher IRR because it would be more profitable.
Assume Division 1 of the XYZ Company had the following results last year. Sales $5,000,000 Operating income 1,000,000 Total assets (average) 10,000,000 Current liabilities 500,000 Management's required rate of return is 8% and the weighted average cost of capital is 6%. Its effective tax rate is 30%. What is the division's economic value added?
Answer:
Economic Value was $130,000
Explanation:
As we know that:
Economic Value Added = Net Operating Income after tax - (WACC * Capital Employed)
Here
Operating Income After Tax is $700,000 (Step1)
WACC is 6%
Capital Employed is $9,500,000 (Step2)
By putting values, we have:
EVA = $700,000 - 9,500,000 * 6%
EVA = $700,000 - $570,000
EVA = $130,000
Step1: Operating Income After Tax
Simply deduct the 30% tax share from the operating income to arise at Net Operating Income After Tax.
Mathematically,
Net Operating Income After Taxes = Operating Income *(1 - Tax Rate)
Here
Operating Income is $1,000,000
Tax Rate is 30%
By putting values, we have:
Net Operating Income After Taxes = $1,000,000 * (1 - 30%)
Net Operating Income After Taxes = $700,000
Step2: Capital Employed
Capital Employed = Total Assets - Current Liabilities
Capital Employed = $10,000,000 - $500,000
Capital Employed = $9,500,000
Additional short-term borrowings $ 20,000
Purchase of short-term investments 5,000
Cash dividends paid 16,000
Interest paid 8,000

Leslie works as customer service representative for Lighthouse Point Lanterns. Her job is to fulfill customer orders and answer any questions that the customer may have. In order to ensure the best service possible, Lighthouse Point Lanterns makes test phone calls to their customer service representatives and rates their ability to correctly answer customer calls. If Leslie properly handles 80% of the test calls, she will receive a 20% bonus in her next pay check. This is an example of:_________.
Answer:
a performance reward.
Explanation:
A performance reward is a type of employee reward system. Companies generally reward employees in an attempt to motivate them to work more, harder or more efficiently. E.g. a company may reward salespeople that close 100 sales per week, regardless of the type of sales made. This type of reward is based on the gross amount of work carried out by the employee.
In Leslie's case, she is being rewarded for being an efficient employee. The parameter for measuring her efficiency is that 80% of the test calls that she makes are handed properly. She is not rewarded on the number of test calls, but instead on how she handled them.
This is an example of a performance reward if Leslie is going to be rewarded with a 20% bonus for handling 80% of the test calls.
A performance reward is a reward that a customer receives in an organization which is based on how well they have performed in the business.
The reward system here has stated that if Leslie is able to meet up with the target that the business has placed for her to reach she would be rewarded with a bonus of 20% when she receives her next salary.

On January 1, a company issued and sold a $300,000, 5%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $293,000. Interest is payable each June 30 and December 31. The company uses the straight-line method to amortize the discount. The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is:
Answer: $293,350
Explanation:
The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment will be the addition of the received proceed and the ammortized discount. This will be:
= $293,000 + $350
= $293,350
Note that the ammortized discount was calculated as:
= ($300000 - $293000)/20
= $7000/20
