Answer: c) Both economies grew at the same rate
Explanation:
The faster growing economy would be the one that saw a greater increase in Real GDP than the other.
Real GDP growth = Nominal GDP growth - Inflation growth.
Hyperpolis Real GDP growth = 15% - 12%
Hyperpolis Real GDP growth = 3%
Superpolis Real GDP growth = 6% - 3%
Superpolis Real GDP growth = 3%
Both countries grew at the same rate of 3%.
Buster Evans is considering investing $20,000 in a project with the following annual cash revenues and expenses: Cash Cash Revenues Expenses Year 1 $ 8,000 $ 8,000 Year 2 $12,000 $ 8,000 Year 3 $15,000 $ 9,000 Year 4 $20,000 $10,000 Year 5 $20,000 $10,000 Depreciation will be $4,000 per year. What is the accounting rate of return on the investment
Answer:
Accounting rate of return= 20%
Explanation:
The accounting rate of return is the average annual income expressed as a percentage of the average investment.
The simple rate of return can be calculated using the two formula below:
Accounting rate of return
= Annual operating income/Average investment × 100
Average investment = (Initial cost + scrap value)/2
Average profit = Total profit over investment period / Number of years
Total revenue = 8000+12000+ 15000 + 20,000+ 20,000 = 75000
Total expenses= 8000 + 8000 + 9000 +10,000 + 10,000 = 45000
Cash profit = 75,000 - 45,000 = 30,000
Depreciation = 4000× 5 = 20,000
Accounting profit = Cash profit - Depreciation = 30,000- 20,000 = 10,000
Average profit = 10,000/5 = 2,000
Accounting rate of return = 2,000/20000× 100 = 20%
Accounting rate of return= 20%

Using this formula
Projected benefit obligation=Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation + Service costs +(Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation × Discount rate)- Pension benefit
Let plug in the formula
Projected benefit obligation= $72,000 + $28,000 + ($72,000 × .10) -$15,000
Projected benefit obligation=$72,000 + $28,000 + $7,200-$15,000
Projected benefit obligation= $107,200-$15,000
Projected benefit obligation=$92,200
Therefore Hopson's projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2015 will be $92,200

Group of answer choices track behavior across tablets and mobile devices utilize cookies to track mobile activity utilize GPS data to provide location-based offers track loyalty program participation add social value and entertainment to consumers' lives
Answer: Add social value and entertainment to consumers' lives
Explanation:
In this age of technology, companies have found that being able to offer their customers relevant products can be greatly helped by gathering information about them and offering it to them directly on their phones. A great way to do so is through the use of mobile apps.
With mobile apps a company can track behavior on the device as well as track mobile activity. They could even use the GPS capabilities of the phone through the app to offer relevant location based content.
However, as much as companies would like their customers to have enjoyable lives, this is not an aim with mobile apps. The apps are there to boost the companies sales not to add social value and entertainment to consumers' lives unless of course, that is the company's main business.

Beyer Company is considering the purchase of an asset for $190,000. It is expected to produce the following net cash flows. The cash flows occur evenly within each year.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Total
Net cash flows $50,000 $31,000 $60,000 $140,000 $30,000 $311,000
Compute the payback period for this investment.
Answer:
Pay back period =3 years 4 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the estimated length of time it takes cash inflow from a project to recoup the cash outflow.
The payback period uses cash flows and not profit.
The payback period can be determined by accumulation the cash inflow consecutively to ascertain the length of time it will take the sum to equate the initial cost.
This will be done as follows:
The sum of the cash in flows for the first three years would equal
50,000 + $31,000 + $60,000 = 141,000
The balance required to equate 190,000 would be
balance = 190,000 - 140,000 = 50,000
Pay back period = 3 years + (50,000/140,000)× 12 months
= 3 years 4 months
Pay back period =3 years 4 months

a. Days' sales uncollected
b. Days' sales in inventory
c. Accounts receivable turnover
d. Acid test rato
Answer:
1.1 The ratio from the list below which measures the efficiency of the operations of a company is D - Total Asset Turnover Ratio.
Explanation:
Total Asset Turn Over Ratio is calculated by dividing Net Sales by Average Total Assets.
For example, if company CDH is reporting a value of $499,650 as initial total assets and $387,656 as ending total assets. Within the same period, the company generated sales of $250,655, with sales returns of $17,000.
This means that, the asset turnover ratio for Company CDH is calculated as follows:
($250,655-$17,000)/(($387,656+$499,650)/2)
The answer is 0.52667
Thus, every dollar in total assets generates $0.52667 in sales.
Efficiency ratios are important for rating the operations of the business. They are also used by investors and lenders when conducting financial analysis of businesses to decide whether the companies are a good investment.
1.2 The component which summarises the components applicable in 1.1 is D Total Asset Turnover
2. Working capital is the variance between current assets and current liabilities.
. This is simply the capital that an organisation uses in its day-to-day business operations.
3. The short-term liquidity ratios which calculate how frequently a company collects its accounts are:
A) Days' sales Uncollected and
C) Accounts receivable turnover.
A) Days' sales Uncollected is calculated by
(Accounts receivable/Net annual credit sales) x 365
It is the number of days before receivables are collected.
The lower the ratio the more liquid the company is likely to be. High Days' Sales Uncollected Ratios are bad for business.
C) Accounts receivable turnover is the annual rate at which a business collects its average accounts receivable.

A corporate bond currently yields 8.5%. Municipal bonds with the same risk, maturity, and liquidity currently yield 5.5%. At what tax rate would investors be indifferent between the two bonds?
Answer: 35.29%
Explanation:
Municipal Bonds are attractive in that they give the tax benefit of being tax exempt whereas a corporate bond is liable for taxation. The tax rate that will therefore make an investor indifferent between the two bonds is the one that will equate the Corporate bond's yield net of tax to the yield on the Municipal bond.
5.5% = 8.5% * ( 1 - x)
5.5% = 8.5% - 0.085x
0.085x = 8.5% - 5.5%
0.085x = 3%
x = 35.29%
One of the least desirable and routine tasks members of your team must do is taking minutes (notes) at team meetings.

Which of the following would be the most effective way for the team to address this stuation?
A. Ask your manager to decide in order to minimize any personal bias among team members.
B. Randomly assign a person to bé the official note taker at the beginig of each meeting
C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.
D. Assign note taking to whichever person enters last at each
Answer:
C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.
Explanation:
In the case noted in the question above, there is a situation that could be unpleasant if it were decided by some type of bias.
Therefore, the most appropriate alternative for the team to address this situation would be to create a rotating assignment for each team member to share the notes. This way it would not happen that a team member is always chosen to perform a task that causes dissatisfaction in the whole team. Creating a rotating assignment to carry out the task would guarantee the uniformity of the task assignment and avoid possible dissatisfactions, inequalities and interpersonal conflicts that could arise.
After reading it write about whether or not you agree with the academic economic consensus that independent officials running the Federal Reserve are able to properly balance their dual mandate in a fair and balanced fashion with the needs of workers in one hand and the financial industry on the other. If you agree with the consensus view explain your reasons; or if you disagree and think that the officials are biased in favor of the financial industry explain your reasoning with some possible solutions to the problem. Write at least two paragraphs articulating your views.
Answer:
The Federal Reserve has been at times biased in favor of the financial industry, because they have often put inflation targeting above the need to reduce unemployment when executing monetary policy. Besides, the financial industry has often been rescued by massive loans from the Fed.
However, the Federal Reserve has also acted in favor of reducing unemployment, specially during recessions, by expanding the money supply through a policy known as quantitative easing.
In conclusion, we can say that the Fed tends to be biased in favor of the financial industry, but not at all times.

The variable factory overhead controllable variance is a.$75,397.52 unfavorable b.$75,397.52 favorable c.$27,284.90 unfavorable d.$27,284.90 favorable
Answer:
c.$27,284.90 unfavorable
Explanation:
Standard variable overhead rate =$27.00
Standard hours allowed per completed unit =4.3
Actual production unit =971
Actual variable overhead costs =$140,018
Variable factory overhead controllable variance = (Standard variable overhead rate * Standard hours allowed per completed unit * Actual production unit) - Actual variable overhead costs
Variable factory overhead controllable variance = ($27 * 4.3 * 971) - $140,018
Variable factory overhead controllable variance = $112,733.1 - $140,018
Variable factory overhead controllable variance = $27,284.9 (Unfavorable)

A 60-year old retiree is in a very low tax bracket. He has a low risk tolerance and wishes to make an investment that will provide income. Which is the BEST recommendation?
Group of answer choices.
A. Mid-cap common stock
B. Municipal bond
C. Bank CD
D. Treasure STRIPS
Answer:
C. Bank CD
Explanation:
In this scenario, a 60-year old retiree is in a very low tax bracket. He has a low risk tolerance and wishes to make an investment that will provide income. A Bank certificate of deposit (CD) is the best recommendation.
A bank certificate of deposit (CD) can be defined as a secured form of time-bound deposit and a special low-risk savings account, wherein money (lump-sum) are left with the bank for a specific period of time in exchange for an interest rate premium.
Generally, a certificate of deposit pays a higher interest rate to its holder than the regular savings account because the banks invest the money in a business.
Additionally, the bank certificate of deposit is protected and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000.
Schuepfer Inc. bases its selling and administrative expense budget on budgeted unit sales. The sales budget shows 2,600 units are planned to be sold in March. The variable selling and administrative expense is $3.10 per unit. The budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense is $35,760 per month, which includes depreciation of $4,100 per month. The remainder of the fixed selling and administrative expense represents current cash flows. The cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses on the March selling and administrative expense budget should be:________.a. $40,210.b. $44,410.c. $31,570.
Answer:
$39,720
Explanation:
Total fixed costs that represent current cash flows = $35,760 - $4,100
Total fixed costs that represent current cash flows = $31,660
Variable costs = 2,600 units * $3.10
Variable costs = $8,060
The cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses on the March selling and administrative expense budget will be
= $31,660 + $8,060
= $39,720
Juice Drinks has beginning inventory of $10,000, purchases in the amount of $150,000, and ending inventory of $8,000. Juice Drinks cost of goods sold is $ ____________.

Bell Hill Mfg. is considering a rights offer. The company has determined that the ex-rights price would be $78. The current price is $100 per share, and there are 25 million shares outstanding. The rights offer would raise a total of $50 million. What is the subscription price?
Answer:
6.5
Explanation:
We can calculate Ex-Rights using following formula:
Ex-Rights = (Current Shares * Shares outstanding + Amount Raised) / (Current Shares + Amount Raised / Subscription Price)
Here
Market Value is $100
Shares Outstanding are 25 million
Amount Raised is $50 million
Ex-Rights price is $78
By putting values, we have:
$78 = (($100 * 25m) + $50m) / (25m + (50m/Subscription price))
$78 = ($2550) / (25m + ($50m/Subscription Price))
$78 / ($2550m) = 1 / (25m + ($50m/Subscription Price))
0.0000030588 = 1 / (25m + ($50m/Subscription Price))
Taking reciprocal, we have:
1 / 0.0000030588 = (25m + ($50m/Subscription Price))
$32.6923m = $25m + $50m / Subscription Price
$32.6923m - $25m = $50m / Subscription Price
$7.6923m = $50m / Subscription Price
$7.6923m / $50m = 1 / Subscription Price
0.153846 = 1 / Subscription Price
Taking Reciprocal, we have:
Subscription Price = 6.5
Too Young, Inc., has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 7 percent and semiannual payments. The bond currently sells for $951 and matures in 23 years. The par value is $1,000. What is the company's pretax cost of debt?
Answer:
The company's pretax cost of debt is 7.45 %.
Explanation:
When it comes to bonds, the cost of debt is the required return on the bond known as the Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the bond.
The Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the bond can be determined as follows :
N = 23 × 2 = 46
PV = $951
Pmt = ($1,000 × 7 %) ÷ 2 = - $35
P/YR = 2
FV = - $1,000
YTM = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the bond is 7.4484 or 7.45 %
Therefore,
The company's pretax cost of debt is 7.45 %.
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.
Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return Pete Corp. 1.80 .190 Repete Co. 1.49 .163 a. Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the expected return on the market? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the risk-free rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. 12.03%
b. 3.32%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + [Beta × Risk premium]
Let us assume Risk free rate of return be x and Risk premium be y
Now the equations are as follows
For Pete Corp
19 = x + 1.80y ...................... (1)
For Repete Corp
16.3 = x + 1.49y .....................(2)
Now Solving (1) and (2)
After solving we get
y = 8.70967741935
x = 3.3225806452
i.e Risk free rate = x = 3.32%
And, the Risk premium = 8.70967741935%
So,
Expected return on market = Risk free rate + Risk premium
= 3.3225806452 + 8.70967741935
= 12.03%
The following standards for variable manufacturing overhead have been established for a company that makes only one product: Standard hours per unit of output 5.2 hours Standard variable overhead rate $11.60 per hour The following data pertain to operations for the last month: Actual hours 2,500 hours Actual total variable manufacturing overhead cost $29,590 Actual output 150 units What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?
Answer:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $19,952 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard hours per unit of output 5.2 hours
Standard variable overhead rate $11.60 per hour
Actual hours 2,500 hours
Actual output of 150 units
To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
Standard quantity= 5.2*150= 780
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (780 - 2,500)*11.6

The following data were taken from the financial statements of Gates Inc. for the current fiscal year. Property, plant, and equipment (net) $971,600 Liabilities: Current liabilities $140,000 Note payable, 6%, due in 15 years 694,000 Total liabilities $834,000 Stockholders' equity: Preferred $4 stock, $100 par (no change during year) $834,000 Common stock, $10 par (no change during year) 834,000 Retained earnings: Balance, beginning of year $890,000 Net income 386,000 $1,276,000 Preferred dividends $33,360 Common dividends 130,640 164,000 Balance, end of year 1,112,000 Total stockholders' equity $2,780,000 Sales $21,141,000 Interest expense $41,640 Assuming that total assets were $3,433,000 at the beginning of the current fiscal year, determine the following. When required, round to one decimal place.
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%
Duff Inc. paid a 2.34 dollar dividend today. If the dividend is expected to grow at a constant 1 percent rate and the required rate of return is 11 percent, what would you expect Duff's stock price to be 4 years from now?
Answer:
$24.60
Explanation:
The computation of the price for 4 years from now is shown below:
Price = Dividend ÷(Required rate of return - growth rate)
where,
Dividend is
= Dividend × (1 + growth rate)^number of years
= $2.34 × (1 + 0.01)^5
= $2.46
All the other items would remain the same
So, the price is
= $2.46 ÷ (11% - 1%)
= $24.60
