Explanation:
An Adjustable Rate Mortgage is the opposite: it is a type of mortgage that has payments that vary throughout the period of loan. They vary according to some index, variable rate, or agreement between the loaner and the borrower.
Sally and Tom should seek a Fixed Rate Mortgage instead. That is a type of mortgage whose payments do not vary across the life of the loan. In other words, a Fixed Rate Mortgage is an annuity.
Binder Corporation agreed to build a warehouse for a client at an agreed contract price of $4,000,000. Expected (and actual) costs for the warehouse follow: 2017, $640,000; 2018, $1,600,000; and 2019, $800,000. The company completed the warehouse in 2019. Compute net income for each year 2017 through 2019 using the cost-to-cost method. a. 2017: $200,000 2018: $520,000 2019: $240,000 b. 2017: $640,000 2018: $1,600,000 2019: $800,000 c. 2017: $0 2018: $0 2019: $960,000 d. 2017: $320,000 2018: $320,000 2019: $320,000
Answer:
The correct option is a. 2017: $200,000 2018: $520,000 2019: $240,000.
Explanation:
The formula for cost to cost method is expected or actual cost incurred to date divided by the total cost of the project or contract.
Therefore, we have:
Total cost = Cost in 2017 + Cost in 2018 + Cost in 2019 = $640,000 + $1,600,000 + $800,000 = $3,040,000
Cost in 2017 contribution to total cost = Cost in 2017 / Total cost = $640,000 / $3,040,000 = 0.21
Cost in 2018 contribution to total cost = Cost in 2018 / Total cost = $1,600,000 / $3,040,000 = 0.53
Cost in 2019 contribution to total cost = Cost in 2019 / Total cost = $800,000 / $3,040,000 = 0.26
Revenue in 2017 = Cost in 2017 contribution to total cost * Contract price = 0.21 * $4,000,000 = $840,000
Revenue in 2018 = Cost in 2018 contribution to total cost * Contract price = 0.53 * $4,000,000 = $2,120,000
Revenue in 2019 = Cost in 2019 contribution to total cost * Contract price = 0.26 * $4,000,000 = $1,040,000
Therefore, net income for each year 2017 through 2019 using the cost-to-cost method can be computed as follows:
Net income for year 2017 = Revenue in 2017 - Cost in 2017 = $840,000 - $640,000 = $200,000
Net income for year 2018 = Revenue in 2018 - Cost in 2018 = $2,120,000 - $1,600,000 = $520,000
Net income for year 2019 = Revenue in 2019 - Cost in 2019 = $1,040,000 - $800,000 = $240,000
Therefore, the correct option is a. 2017: $200,000 2018: $520,000 2019: $240,000.

Eet
Explanation:
During Year 3, Rex Co. introduced a new product carrying a 2-year assurance-type warranty against defects. The estimated warranty costs related to dollar sales are 2% within 12 months following sale and 4% in the second 12 months following sale. Sales and actual warranty expenditures for year ended December 31, Year 3 and Year 4, are as follows:
Year Sales Actual Warranty Expenditures
2008 $250,000 $2,250
2009 250,000 7,500
Total $500,000 $9,750
What amount should Gum report as estimated warranty liability on its December 31, 2009 balance sheet?
Answer:
the amount that should reported as the estimated liability is $20,250
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should reported as the estimated liability is as follows:
= Total sales × total percentage - total actual warranty expenditure
= $500,000 × 6% - $9,750
= $30,000 - $9,750
= $20,250
Hence, the amount that should reported as the estimated liability is $20,250
An Argentinian economist pointed out that the inflation rate based on the PCE(personal consumption expenditures) deflator was higher than the inflation rate you calculated in part (b) based on the GDP deflator. Provide two possible explanations for this difference between the inflation rates calculated from the PCE deflatorversus the GDP deflator.
Answer:
Note: The complete question is attached as picture below
Year Nominal GDP Real GDP
2019 100 100
2020 105 99
a) %change in nominal GDP = [(105 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 5%
%change in real GDP = [(99 - 100) / 100] * 100 = -1%
b) GDP deflator is = [Nominal GDP / Real GDP]. %change in GDP deflator = [(106.06 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 6.06%
c) Inflation calculated from GDP deflator and PCE is different because
- GDP deflator does not includes price increase of imported goods while PCE does.
- PCE measures change in price of goods which are generally consumed by consumers while GDP deflator includes all goods produced in an economy.

Emilio’s accountant told him that if he continues to pay $50 a month on his credit card, it will take him 42 years to pay off his current balance (assuming the interest rate doesn’t change and assuming he doesn’t charge anything else on that card). His credit card interest rate is 18.99%. What is his balance?
Answer:
$3,158.40
Explanation:
The current balance on his credit card is the present value of $50 payable per month over 42-year period as shown below:
PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
PV=the unknown
montly paymet=$50
r=monthly interest rate= 18.99%/12=0.015825
n=number of monthly payments=42*12=504
PV=$50*(1-(1+0.015825)^-504/0.015825
PV=$50*(1-(1.015825)^-504/0.015825
PV=$50*(1-0.000365827)/0.015825
PV=$50*0.999634173/0.015825
PV=$3,158.40

1. Friedman distinguishes between the two concepts that (a) businesses really do act in ways to maximize profit and (b) businesses have a moral responsibility (or, as he puts it, a social responsibility) to act to maximize profit. How does he defend the latter position? (See both the Friedman and Sandbu readings)
Explanation:
Friedman defends the position that companies have a social responsibility to act to maximize profit, in the sense that, the primary function of companies is to generate profit. The author goes against the growing opinions in society that companies must have social responsibility, that is, they need to create a positive and sensitive corporate image to please political and society interests and counter or even soften the words and actions its central purpose, which is profit generation. For him, social responsibility cannot be politicized in order to be an obligation of companies, as it limits freedom and interests arising from the business.
What happens to your employer-sponsored retirement plan if you decide to change employers?
Answer:
Most 401 (k) or IRA accounts allow employees to roll-over their accounts from the old employer to the new employer. Depending on the account and how much time you have been making contributions, you could also cash your retirement account, but that would mean starting from zero with the new employer.
Answer:
a). You may roll your money over to a new plan through your new employer.
b) You can withdraw the money from your plan in one lump sum and pay income taxes and likely a penalty as well.
c) You can leave the money in the plan with your former employer.
answer is correct

Eve Cosmetics Company consists of two departments, Blending and Filling. The Filling Department received 41,400 ounces from the Blending Department. During the period, the Filling Department completed 46,800 ounces, including 7,500 ounces of work in process at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process inventory was 2,100 ounces. How many ounces were started and completed during the period?
Answer:
39,300 ounces
Explanation:
Calculation for How many ounces were started and completed during the period
Using this formula
Numbers of ounces started and completed during the period= Filling Department completed ounces during the period - Work in process at the beginning of the period
Let plug in the formula
Numbers of ounces started and completed during the period=46,800 ounces -7,500 ounces
Numbers of ounces started and completed during the period=39,300 ounces
Therefore How many ounces were started and completed during the period is 39,300 ounces
Leon, age 14, is a dependent of his parents. In 2020 he earned $6,500 from a part-time job and $7,500 of interest income on bonds given him by his grandparents, resulting in taxable income of $7,150. Under kiddie tax rules, calculation of tax requires dividing taxable income between net unearned income and other taxable income taxed at his own rate. Leon's taxable income will be divided as follows A) net unearned income -$1,850 and earned taxable income -$5,300. B) net unearned income -$7,150 and earned taxable income -$0. C) net unearned income -$0 and earned taxable income -$7,150. D) net unearned income -$5,300 and earned taxable income -$1,850
Answer:
Leon's taxable income will be divided as follows
B) net unearned income -$7,150 and earned taxable income -$0.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Earnings from part-time job = $6,500
Interest income from grandparents' bonds = $7,500
Taxable income on the interest income = $7,150
b) For 2020, Leon, age 14, can earn up to $12,200 without paying income tax. This implies that he cannot pay income tax on the $6,500 which he earns from a part-time job. But he is expected to pay tax on the interest income from bonds given him by his grandparents. Under the kiddie tax rules, his income is separated between net unearned income and other taxable income taxed at his own rate.
Vito is the sole shareholder of Vito, Inc. He is also employed by the corporation. On June 30, 2020, Vito borrowed $8,000 from Vito, Inc., and on July 1, 2021, he borrowed an additional $10,000. Both loans were due on demand. No interest was charged on the loans, and the Federal rate was 4% for all relevant dates. Vito used the money to purchase a boat, and he had $2,500 of investment income. Determine the tax consequences to Vito and Vito, Inc., in each of the following situations.
Answer:
The first loan for $8,000 could fall under the exemption of employer-employee loan. But then after the second is taken, that exemption would no longer apply. A minimum interest of $18,000 x 4% x 6/12 = $360 should be charged.
If the loan is considered a corporation-shareholder loan, then it doesn't qualify for any type of exemption, resulting in interests = ($8,000 x 4% x 6/12) = $160 for 2020
for 2021, interest applied = [($8,000 + $160) x 4%] + ($10,000 x 4% x 6/12) = $326.40 + $360 = $686.40

Answer:
$4,355.26
Explanation:
The net present value is the present value of future cash flows expected from the project minus the initial investment outlay
initial investment outlay=working capital investment = -$10,000
Years 1-5 cash inflow=$2,000
Year 6 cash inflow=normal cash inflows+release of working capital
Year 6 cash inflow=$2,000+$10,000=$12,000
the present value of a future cash flow=cash flow/(1+r)^n
n is 1 for year cash inflow 2 for year 2 cash inflow, 3 for year 3 cash inflow and so on
NPV=-$10,000+$2,000/(1+10%)^1+$2,000/(1+10%)^2+$2,000/(1+10%)^3+$2,000/(1+10%)^4+$2,000/(1+10%)^5+$12,000/(1+10%)^6
NPV=$4,355.26

Cash In/Income:
Personal income
Business Income
Cash Out/Expense:
Cost of business trip = variable
State tax liability = fixed
Clothing purchases = variable
2. For example, your mortgage would be considered a fixed expense, because the total amount does not vary. Conversely, grocery bills would be considered variable, because the actual amount is not fixed but varies.
Explanation:
Variable cost or expense has a fixed cost per unit, with the total amount varying, depending on the units or quantities consumed. Fixed cost does have a fixed total amount within the relevant range, but the cost per unit varies.

2017 $168,000
Required:
Compute what income before taxes for 2015, 2016, and 2017 should have been after correcting for the errors.
Answer:
Corrected Income before taxes are $115,000 (2015), $315,000 (2016) and $185,000 (2017)
Explanation:
in the calculation of a company's income before tax, the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is done using the basic formulae by Adding Opening year inventory with Purchases and subtracting Ending year Inventory. In the case where Ending year inventory has been overstated, the COGS that has been calculated is understated which implies that the Income before tax has been overstated.
In the vice versa scenario, where Ending year inventory has been understated, the COGS that has been calculated is overstated which implies that the Income before tax has been understated. The calculation of the same is done below:
Year 2015
Income Before Tax (Previous) - Ending year Inventory = Income before Tax (Corrected)
138,000 - 23,000 = $115,000
Year 2016
Income Before Tax (Previous) + Ending year Inventory = Income before Tax (Corrected)
254,000 + 61,000 = $315,000
Year 2017
Income Before Tax (Previous) + Ending year Inventory = Income before Tax (Corrected)
168,000 + 17,000 = $185,000

Assume that the educational savings account will return a constant 9%. The parents deposit $2400 on their daughter's first birthday and plan to increase the size of their deposits by 7% each year. Assuming that the parents have already made the deposit for their daughter's 18th birthday, then the amount available for the daughter's college expenses on her 18th birthday is closest to ________.
Answer:
the amount available is $160,463
Explanation:
The computation of the amount available for the daughter's college expenses on her 18th birthday is shown below:
= First deposit × ((1 + rate of interest)^number of years - (1 + growth rate)^number of years) ÷ (rate of interest - growth rate)
= $2,400 × ((1 + 0.09)^18 - (1 + 0.07)^18) ÷ (0.09 - 0.07)
= $160,463
hence, the amount available is $160,463
You purchased a 5-year, 6% annual-coupon bond with $1,000 par value. The yield to maturity at the time of purchase was 4%. You sold the bond after one year, right after receiving the first coupon payment. The bond's yield to maturity was 3.4% when you sold it. What is your holding period return on the bond
Answer:
6.12%
Explanation:
the market value of the bond when you purchased it was:
PV of face value = $1,000 / 1.04⁵ = $821.93
PV of coupon payments = $60 x 4.4518 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 5 periods) = $267.11
initial investment = $1,089.04
after 1 year, you receive $60 +
PV of face value = $1,000 / 1.034⁴ = $874.82
PV of coupon payments = $60 x 3.6818 (PV annuity factor, 3.4%, 4 periods) = $220.91
market price = $1,095.73
total holding return = ($1,095.73 + $60 - $1,089.04) / $1,089.04 = 6.12%

The contribution margin for July is: Group of answer choices $534,600 $699,300 $359,900 $1,453,400
Answer:
$534,600
Explanation:
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable Costs
where :
Sales = 2,700 units x $664 = $1,792,800
Variable Costs = Costs of Goods Sold + Variable Selling Costs + Variable Administrative Cots
= 2,700 units x $405 + 2,700 units x $48 + 2,700 units x $13
= $1,258,200
therefore,
Contribution margin = $1,792,800 - $1,258,200 = $534,600

Along with raw material, variable costs such as transportation, manpower, electricity etc. will also increase both in input (bringing raw material and producing final product) and output (export of the final product)
In nut shell, both the input and output price will increase.
