Morgan Company issues 10%, 20-year bonds with a par value of $760,000 that pay interest semiannually. The amount paid to the bondholders for each semiannual interest payment is.
Answer: $38,000
Explanation:
The company is supposed to pay bondholders an Interest of 10% per year according to the terms of the terms of the bond.
= 10% * 760,000

The problem with average-cost pricing regulation is that once it is in place, there is a tendency for the:________
a. ATC curve to shift upward.
b. MR curve to shift leftward.
c. D curve to shift leftward.
d. ATC curve to shift downward.
e. D curve to shift rightward.
Answer:
a. ATC curve to shift upward
Explanation:
Average cost pricing is a form of pricing that appears as one of the ways in which the government operates a monopoly market. The government, however, may utilize average cost pricing as a tool to oversee prices monopolists may charge.
In other words, this implies that Monopolists always incline to produce less than the optimal amount boosting the prices up.
Hence, the problem with average-cost pricing regulation is that once it is in place, there is a tendency for the: "Average Total Cost curve to shift upward." This can be a result of an increase in output and reduction price

What is the standard deviation of a portfolio's returns if the mean return is 15%, and the variance of returns is 184
Answer:
Standard deviation =13.6
Explanation:
Standard deviation is measure of the total risks of an investment. It measures the volatility in return of an investment as a result of both systematic and non-systematic risks.
Non-systematic risk includes risk that are unique to a company like poor management, legal suit against the company .
Standard deviation is the sum of the squared deviation of the individual return from the mean return under different scenarios .
Further more, it can be calculated as the square root of the variance of the portfolio.
Standard deviation = √ variance
DATA
Variance = 184
Standard deviation = √184 = 13.6
Standard deviation =13.6

Explanation:
If the current interest rate is 5% and your semi-annual coupon paying bond has a duration of 5.33 years, how much will the price of the bond change if the interest rate increases by 1 basis point?
Answer:
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * 0.00005
Explanation:
Percentage change in price = - modified duration * (Change in yield in BP/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * ((0.01/2)/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * (0.005/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * 0.00005
Cameroon Corp. manufactures and sells electric staplers for $15.30 each. If 10,000 units were sold in December, and management forecasts 3.3% growth in sales each month, the number of electric stapler sales budgeted for March should be:
Answer:
Electric stapler sales budgeted for March should be: 11,023 units.
Explanation:
Apply the growth of 3.30% to each month starting December as follows :
December Sales = 10,000 units
January Sales = 10,000 × (1.033)^1 = 10,330 units
February Sales = 10,000 × (1.033)^2 = 10,671 units
March Sales = 10,000 × (1.033)^3 = 11,023 units
the construction of a 1000 suit luxury hotel requires the installation of 12 outlets and 6 light fictures per suit . The companys standard productivity for a two electrician crew is 20 minutes per light fixture and 30 minutes per outlet. Using eighteen crews working at a 0.8 efficiency factor and a 10hr work day with a half an hour lunch break , the duration of this construction activity (days,hours) is most nearly how much
Answer:
Hours = 8000
Days = 46.78
Explanation:
The duration of this construction activity can be calculated as follows
DATA
No. of suits = 1000
Outlets to be installed = 12/suit
Standard productivity for outlet = 30mins
Fixtures to be installed = 6/suit
Standard productivity light fixture = 20mins
Working hours per day = 10 hours - 0.5 lunch break
Working hours per day = 9.5 hours
No. of crews = 18
Solution
Total time to fix = No.of suits x no. of installations x Standard time
Total time to fix = (1000 x 12 x 30mins ) + ( 1000 x 6 x 20mins)
Total time to fix = 480000 mins
Total time to fix = 480000/60mins = 8000 hours
Duration in days = Total time / (hrs per day x mo. of crews)
Duration in days = 8000 hours / (9.5 x 18)
Duration in days = 8000/171
Duration in days = 46.78 days
Sally Rubber Co. has an expected net operating profit after taxes, EBIT (1-T), of $1,700 million in the coming year. In addition, the firm is expected to have net capital expenditures of $255 million, and net operating working capital (NOWC) is expected to increase by $45 million. How much free cash flow (FCF) is Sally Rubber Co. expected to generate over the next year?
Answer:
$1,400 million
Explanation:
Calculation for free cash flow (FCF)
Using this formula
Free cash flow= Net income+ Non cash expenses-Net capital expenditures- Increase in Net operating working capital
Let plug in the formula
Free cash flow=$1,700 million + $0 million -$255 million -$45 million
Free cash flow =$1,400 million
Therefore the amount of free cash flow (FCF) that Sally Rubber Co. expected to generate over the next year will be $1,400 million
Last year Harrington Inc. had sales of $325,000 and a net income of $19,000, and its year-end assets were $250,000. The firm's total-debt-to-total-capital ratio was 15.0%. The firm finances using only debt and common equity and its total assets equal total invested capital. Based on the DuPont equation, what was the ROE
Answer:
8.94%
Explanation:
Firstly, we will need to find total equity and total debt of Harrington Inc inorder to apply the Dupont equation for getting ROE
Harrington's total debt = 15.00 % × $250,000
= $37,500
Harrington's total equity will be; applying accounting equation
Asset = Liabilities + Owner's equity
Owner's equity = Assets - Liabilities
= $250,000 - $37,500
= $212,500
Therefore, using the Dupont equation, we can calculate the ROE as;
(NI/Sales) × (Sales/Total assets) × (Total assets/Total common equity)
= 19,000/325,000 × 325,000 /250,000 × 250,000/212,500
= 8.94%

Link Co. purchased machinery that cost $3,000,000 on January 4, 2016. The entire cost was recorded as an expense. The machinery has a nine-year life and a $200,000 residual value. The error was discovered on December 20, 2018. Ignore income tax considerations. Before the correction was made, and before the books were closed on December 31, 2018, retained earnings was understated by:_________.a. $3,000,000.
b. $2,066,667.
c. $2,377,778
d. $2,333,333.
Answer:
c. $2,377,778
Explanation:
Recording the entire cost as expense would have understated Retained Earnings by $3,000,000
Annual Depreciation on machine = Purchase cost - Residual value / Useful life
= ($3,000,000 - $200,000) / 9
= $311,111
Depreciation would have been recorded for $622222 for 2 years had machinery been correctly recorded ($311,111 * 2) = $622,222
On December 20, 2018, the net understatement of Retained Earnings = $3,000,000 - $622,222
= $2,377,778
JG Asset Services is recommending that you invest $1,275 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures
Answer:
The amount that will be received when CD matures is $1514.30
Explanation:
To calculate the amount that will be received at the maturity of the CD, we simply need to calculate the future value of the invested amount using annual compounding. The formula for the future value that we will use is,
Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the rate of interestt is the time in yearsFuture value = 1275 * (1+0.035)^5
Future value = $1514.30
Deployment Specialists pays a current (annual) dividend of $1.00 and is expected to grow at 20% for 2 years and then at 4% thereafter. If the required return for Deployment Specialists is 8.5%, what is the intrinsic value of its stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$30.80
Explanation:
Intrinsic value
V0=D1/1+k +D2/(1+k)^2 +DH+PH/(1 +k)^H
Let plug in the formula
First step
V0=$1 × 1.2/(1+0.085) +($1 × 1.2)^2/(1+0.085)^2 +($1 × 1.2)^2*1.04/(0.085-0.04)*(1+0.085)^2
Second step
V0=1.2/1.085+1.44/1.007225+1.44*1.04/0.045*1.177225
Third step
V0=1.2/1.085+1.44/1.007225+1.4976/0.052975
Fourth step
V0=1.10599+1.42967+28.26993
V0=$30.80
Therefore the intrinsic value of its stock will be $30.80

of a portfolio. The beta of four stocksG, H, I, and Jare , , , and , respectively. What is the beta of a portfolio with the following weights in each asset: LOADING...? What is the beta of portfolio 1?
Answer: 1.02
Explanation:
The Portfolio Beta will be the weighted average of the betas of the individual stocks in Portfolio 1.
Portfolio Beta = (weight in G * beta of G) + (weight in H * beta of H) + (weight in I * beta of I) + (weight in J * beta of J)
= (0.25 * 0.45) + ( 0.25 * 0.82) + ( 0.25 * 1.14) + ( 0.25 * 1.66)
= 0.1125 + 0.205 + 0.285 + 0.415

Ideally, in effective marketing planning, goals should be _____ in terms of what is to be accomplished and when.
Answer:
The answer is quantified and measurable.
Explanation:
Goals need to be quantified and measurable in effective marketing planning. To determine what needs to be accomplished and when, we must put figures to it. This makes performance measurement easier where variances at the end can be analysed.
For example, one of the marketing goals for bank A might be to onboard 100 new customers every month for a year after the launching of its new mobile app.
This example is quantified and can be measured every month.
the price of envelopes was $3 a box, and Julie was willing to buy 10 boxes. Today, the price has gone up to $3.75 a box, and Julie is now willing to buy 8 boxes. Is Julie's demand for envelopes elastic or inelastic? What is Julie's elasticity of demand?
Answer:
Her elasticity of demand is the absolute value of -0.8, or 0.8. Julie's elasticity of demand is inelastic, since it is less than 1.
Explanation:
% Change in Quantity = (8 - 10)/(10) = -0.20 = -20%
% Change in Price = (3.75 - 3.00)/(3.00) = 0.25 = 25%
Elasticity = |(-20%)/(25%)| = |-0.8| = 0.8

George Hansen is General Manager for the Marigold Inn in Augusta, Georgia. Sharon Coombs is Restaurant and Food Services manager for the Inn. She reports to George. Two years ago, Sharon noticed a decline in room service business, the highest margin potion of her operation. This decline coincided with an increase in the national sales of pizza delivery and carryout firms as well as an increase in the number of empty pizza boxes from these firms being left in guest rooms in the Inn. Her immediate response was to install a pizza oven in the kitchen and offer room service pizza to guests. The effort met with modest success, though it was well below her expectations. Questionnaires completed by departing guests revealed a problem of product quality.
Focusing on this problem, Sharon improved the Inn’s pizza until blind tests judged it at least equal in quality to the products of the two major pizza delivery competitors in Augusta. Sales did not improve, convincing Sharon that the problem was a perceived mismatch between the hotel’s image and guests’ expectations of pizza makers. Guests simply did not seem to believe that the traditional steak and seafood restaurant at the Inn could make a high-quality, authentic pizza.
Based on this conclusion, Sharon presented the following proposal to George:
"Sales of room service pizza are stagnant due to guests’ misperception that our product is lower in quality than that of competitors. This misperception is based on the belief that until we disassociate our pizza from the Marigold Inn name. Therefore, to capture more room service pizza business, we should create a ‘Napoli Pizza’ image for our guest room delivery service by:
Preparing ‘Napoli Pizza’ brochures for each guest room, complete with a phone number with a prefix different from that of Marigold Inn. The number will reach a special phone in room service, which will be answered, ‘Napoli Pizza, authentic Italian pizza from old, family recipes.’
Using special ‘Napoli Pizza’ boxes for delivering room service pizza to guests.
Issuing ‘Napoli Pizza’ hats and jackets to room service personnel for use in pizza delivery. Room service waiters and waitresses will wear these garments to deliver pizza. They will change to their regular uniforms for other deliveries.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
1. Preparing ‘Napoli Pizza’ brochures for each guest room, complete with a phone number with a prefix different from that of Marigold Inn. The number will reach a special phone in room service, which will be answered,
Explanation:
This is the best logical suggestion to George because, the guests already had the impression that, the inn cannot be able to produce a very high quality and tasty pizza. Preparing "Napoli Pizza" with different information from the Inn is best alternative. the guest would believe that, the pizza is coming from another quality pizza making company.

Answer:
Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities = fixed assets / long term liabilities = $971,600 / $694,000 = 1.4
Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity = total liabilities / stockholders' equity = $834,000 / $2,780,000 = 0.3
Asset turnover = net sales / average total assets = $21,141,000 / [($3,614,000 + $3,433,000)/2] = 6
Return on total assets = (net income + interest expense) / average total assets = ($386,000 + $41,640) / [($3,614,000 + $3,433,000)/2] = 12.14%
Return on stockholders’ equity = net income / average stockholders' equity = $386,000 / [($2,780,000 + $2,558,000) = 14.46%
Return on common stockholders' equity = net income / average common stockholders' equity = $386,000 / [($1,946,000 + $1,724,000) = 21.04%
All of the following securities can be sold by both an individual holding a Series 7 General Securities License and an individual holding a Series 6 Investment Companies / Variable Annuities registered representative's license EXCEPT:
a. Unit Investment Trusts
b. Mutual Funds
c. Initial Public Offerings of
d. losed End Funds
e. Real Estate Investment Trusts
Answer:
e. Real Estate Investment Trusts
Explanation:
An individual that holds Series 6 Investment Companies / Variable Annuities initially is allowed only to sell mutilate bonds, initial public entry of closed end bonds of which which these cannot be traded by the person unless series 7 is passed generally that is unit investment trust and variable annuities. to sell securities like real estate investment trust, the broader or wider Series 7 General Securities License is needed.
Real estate investment trust (REITs) usually gives or issue shares of beneficial interest which trade like other stocks, either on stock exchanges or over-the-counter. These securities are not redeemable.
The following data relate to factory overhead cost for the production of 10,000 computers: Actual: Variable factory overhead $262,000 Fixed factory overhead 90,000 Standard: 14,000 hrs. at $25 350,000 If productive capacity of 100% was 15,000 hours and the total factory overhead cost budgeted at the level of 14,000 standard hours was $356,000, determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance. The fixed factory overhead rate was $6.00 per hour. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer:
Calculation of variable overhead controllable variance
Standard hours allowed for 10,000 computers = 14,000 hours
Budgeted variable expense = Standard hours allowed * variable overhead rate
= 14,000 * ($25 - $6)
= $266,000
Variable overhead controllable variance = Actual variable overhead expense - Budgeted variable overhead expense
= $262,000 - $266,000
=$4,000 (Unfavorable)
Calculation of fixed overhead volume variance:
Applied overhead = Number of computers produced * Fixed overhead rate
= 10,000 * $6.00
= $60,000
Budgeted fixed overhead = $90,000
Fixed overhead volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Applied fixed overhead
= $90,000 - $60,000
= $30,000 (Favorable)
Calculation of Total factory overhead volume variance:
Total factory overhead cost variance = Variable overhead controllable variance + Fixed overhead volume variance
= - $4,000 + $30,000
= $26,000 (Favorable)
The involvement by a company in more than one of the activities in the entire value chain from development through production, distribution, sales, and after-sales service is called ________. opportunity cost vertical integration relevant cost avoidable cost
Answer: vertical integration
Explanation: The integrating (to include as a constituent part or functionality) of successive stages in the production and marketing process under the ownership or control of a single management organization is known as vertical integration. As such, such a firm is usually involved in various activities in the entire value chain. This helps it reduce costs, ensure tighter quality control, as well as ensuring a better flow and control of information across the value chain.
