Explanation:

Chaz is not to transfer the duties to a third party if Dolly got into the agreement with Chaz for any of the following;

Answer:

∣A−B∣ = 586.411

Explanation:

The effective interest rate is 0.05 so at the end of a year total amount will be 1.05 multiplied by principal

Liability = 6,000 ÷ 1.05^4 = Asset

Therefore

6,000 ÷ 1.05^4 = (A ÷ 1.05^2) + (B ÷ 1.05^6) (equation 1)

Multiply through by 1.05^6

6000(1.05^2) = A(1.05^4) + B

B = 6000(1.05^2) - A(1.05^4) (equation 2)

Finding differential from equation 1

4= 2((A ÷ 1.05^2) ÷ (6000 ÷ 1.05^4)) + 6(B ÷ 1.05^6) ÷ (6000 ÷ 1.05^4))

4(6000 ÷ 1.05^4) = 2(A ÷ 1.05^2) +6 (B ÷ 1.05^6)

Multiply through by 1.05^6

4(6000 ÷ 1.05^2) = 2(A ÷ 1.05^4) + 6B

Substitute value of B from equation 2

4(6000 ÷ 1.05^2) = 2(A ÷ 1.05^4) + 6 *6000(1.05^2) - 6*A(1.05^4)

A= 2721.0884

Substitute A in equation 2

B = 6000(1.05^2) - 2721.0884(1.05^4)

B= 3307.5

∣A−B∣ = |2721.0884 - 3307.5|

∣A−B∣ = 586.411

Answer: Request to use designated sales associate representation.

Explanation:

The options for the question are:

a. Single agent

b. Consent to transition

c. No brokerage relationship

d. Request to use designated sales associate representation

The type of disclosure must be signed by the buyer and the seller in a nonresidential transaction is the request to use designated sales associate representation.

In this disclosure, both the buyer and the seller must sign a disclosure which will state their assets and determine if the threshold is met.

Answer: Deficit; higher; a decrease

Explanation:

The term crowding-out effect refers to a situation in which a government deficit results in higher interest rates, causing a decrease in private spending on investment and consumer durables.

The Crowding-out effect is what happens when a Government increases its spending past its revenues and gets a budget deficit. In other to balance its books therefore it will borrow heavily.

If the Government is such a large one like the American Government or the British Government, the borrowing might be so large that it will have the effect of reducing the amount of loanable funds in the market thereby increasing the interest rates due to a reduced supply of loanable funds.

As there are now increased interest rates, it will be more expensive for companies to borrow to spend on investment or for consumers to spend on durables. It will have the effect of crowding out the private sector.

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 4,750 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

When Isaiah Company has fixed costs of $137,750 and the contribution margin is $29

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 137,750 / 29

Break-even point in units= 4,750 units

Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $688.8 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable overhead 0.3 hours $5.70 per hour

The company used 2,460 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $13,331.

To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Actual rate= 13,331/2,460= $5.42

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (5.7 - 5.42)*2,460

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $688.8 favorable

Answer: 4%

Explanation:

Abnormal returns are the excess actual returns received over the expected return.

The actual return can be calculated as;

= [tex]\frac{New Stock price + dividends - Old Stock Price}{Old stock price}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{12 - 10 + 1}{10}[/tex]

= 30%

The expected return according to CAPM;

Expected return = Risk free rate + beta( market return - risk free rate)

= 16% + 1 ( 26% - 16%)

= 26%

Abnormal return = 30% - 26%

= 4%

Answer:

B. The financial advisor is prohibited from acting as the underwriter

Explanation:

As per the rule of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, the financial advisor cannot be the underwriter.

The financial advisor for a  municipality is paying the advisory fee for assisting the structure of the municipality in order to the issuance of the new bond so that the less interest cost to be paid.

But in the case of the underwriter, it contains high rate of interest as it is very easiest way for selling

So through this, the conflict arises between these two parties

Therefore option B is correct

Answer:

shift demand and supply for loanable funds to the right (up), increasing interest rates.

Explanation:

According to the Fisher hypothesis when there is an increase in the expected inflation there is an equal increase in nominal interest rates.

As interest rates rise demand and supply for loanable funds will rise. This is illustrated in the attached diagram. Interest rate moves from i0 to i1.

Inflation is a reduction in the purchasing power of money. When inflation increases money regulation agencies reduce supply of money as a way to reduce price increase. This in turn reduces the amount of loanable funds commercial banks have to give out

Answer: Social media allows companies to have a short-term focus.

Explanation:

Social Media has made the world way more connected than it was before even with the advent of the Internet. As such, companies were able to leverage on this to improve their brand and popularity by being present on the various social media platforms.

With social media, companies have been able to marketers to establish a public voice and presence online, cost-effectively reinforce other communication activities, build online forums and communities as well as remain relevant in a fast changing world.

Companies having a short term focus as a result of social media is not a benefit of social media. A company should always think long term and even social media can help them achieve long term growth if long term marketing plans are integrated with social media marketing.

Answer:

Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month

Explanation:

The discounted payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes  the present value of net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost  

To work out the discounted payback period, we will compute present value of the cash inflow and then determine how long it will take for the sum to be equal to the initial cost. This is done as follows:

Year          Cash flow    DF             Present value                

0              900    ×          1        =     900                

1               500     ×      1.1^(-1)   =     454.55

2             500     ×      1.1^(-2)    =    413.22

2             500     ×      1.1^(-3)   =      375.66

Total PV for 2 years = 454.55  +  413.22 = 867.77

Balance of cash flow remaining to equal 900 = 900 -867.77  = 32.23

Discounted payback period = 32.23 /375.66 × 12 months

                                               = 2 years 1 month

Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month

Answer:

The correct answer is: Closed Shop.

Explanation:

To begin with, the name of "Closed Shop" refers to a type of practice well known as "pre-entry closed shop" too that unions favored with the only purpose to obligate the companies to contract workers who are already members of the union itself so in that situation both the company and the union tend to have an agreement of maintaining certain salary price for the workers so they are not in a continous fight. Moreover, this practice allow the workers to be employed by the company only if they are members of the union and as long as they are members of it.

Answer:

Intrinsic value=$73.77

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset.

According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.

Price = D/Kp

D- Dividend payable

Kp- cost of preferred stock

So will need to work out the cost of equity using CAPM

The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c  

This model is considered superior to DVM. Hence, we will use the CAPM

Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:  

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r) =? , Rf- 2.4%, Rm- 12.1% β- 1.01

E(r) = 2.4% + 1.23×(12.1- 2.4)%  = 12.20 %

Cost of preferred stock= 12.20 %

Using the dividend valuation model

Intrinsic value = 9/0.1220=73.77

Intrinsic value=$73.77

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Predatory pricing is when a company sets the price of its goods or services too low with the aim of eliminating the competition. Predatory pricing is illegal and it violates antitrust law.

Predatory pricing occurs when a firm colludes with one or more firms to fix prices or output. This is an example of collusion and they usually occur in an oligopoly

Answer: budget deficit

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the total spending for the federal government of Lilliput for the last fiscal year was $1.06 billion and that the country collected $1.05 billion in taxes during this same fiscal year.

Since the expenditure of $1.06 billion is more than the revenue of $1.05 billion, this show that there was a budget deficit.

Answer:

1,080,000 units

Explanation:

Given the below information;

Theoretical capacity per hour = 1,500 units per hour

Hours per shift = 8 hours

Number of shift in each day = 3

Number of days per month = 30

Theoretical capacity for the month

= Theoretical capacity per hour × number of shift per day × hours per shift/day × number of days in a month

= 1,500 × 3 × 8 × 30

= 1,080,000 units

Answer:

The LOWEST acceptable transfer price is $18 the Tire Division's variable cost per tire.

The HIGHEST acceptable transfer price is $75the Tire Division's market price.

Explanation:

Calculation for the lowest acceptable transfer price and the highest acceptable transfer price

Variable Cost per tire:

Direct Material $15

Conversion cost $3

=$18 per tire

The LOWEST acceptable transfer price is $18 Tire division variable cost per tire

Based on the information we were told that the market price per tire is $75 which means that the HIGHEST transfer price is $75 tire division market price.

Therefore If Graham Motors has a negotiated transfer price policy The LOWEST acceptable transfer price is $18 the Tire Division's variable cost per tire While The HIGHEST acceptable transfer price is $75 the Tire Division's market price.

Answer:

$31,430

Explanation:

A project will reduce costs by $38,500

The project will have an increased depreciation of $18,300

The tax rate is 35%

= 35/100

= 0.35

Therefore, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows

Operating cash flow= reduction in project cost×(1-tax rate)+(increase in the depreciation amount ×tax rate)

= $38,500×(1-0.35)+($18,300×0.35)

= $38,500×0.65+6,405

= $25,025+$6,405

= $31,430

Hence the operating cash flow is $31,430

Answer:

$18200

Explanation:

Sunk cost is cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. It should not be considered when making future decisions.

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.

Answer:

Some information was missing, so i looked it up:

State of               Prob. of the state          Sunglasses            Umbrella

the economy      of the economy             Company               Corporation

Sunny                          .50                              25%                          0%

Rainy                           .50                               0%                          25%

expected returns:

Sunglasses Company = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%

Umbrella Corporation = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%,

so the expected return of the portfolio = (12.5% x 0.50) + (12.5% x 0.50) = 12.5%

standard deviation:

Sunglasses Company = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%

Umbrella Corporation = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%

so the standard deviation of the portfolio = 12.5%

Answer:

r = 0.1352 or 13.52%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return or r is the average return that is expected from the stock. It is the expected rate of profit or loss that an investor can anticipate on an investment whose returns are known or anticipated.

The expected rate of return of can be calculated as follows,

r = pA * rA  +  pB * rB + ... + pN * rN

Where,

r = 0.21 * 0.19  +  0.7 * 0.14  +  0.09 * -0.03

The question is incomplete as it is missing the options. The complete question is,

A company factored $45,000 of its accounts receivable and was charged a 4% factoring fee. The journal entry to record this transaction would include a:

a. Debit to Cash of $45,000 and a Credit to Account Receivable of $45,000

b. Debit to Cash of $46,800 and a Credit to Account Receivable of $46,800

c. Debit to Cash of $45,000 and a Credit to Notes Payable of $45,000

d. Debit to Cash of $45,000, a Debit to Factoring Fee Expense of $1800, and Credit to Account Receivable of $43,200

e. Debit to Cash of $43,2000, a Debit to Factoring Fee Expense of $1,800, and Credit to Account Receivable of $45,000

Answer:

The correct answer is option e.

Explanation:

Factoring accounts receivables means selling the claims on accounts receivables to a third party in exchange of cash. Such factoring is done to receive payment for these accounts receivables instantly and selling the claims to some other company. The factoring company charges a certain portion of accounts receivable as fee and only provides cash after deducting this percentage. This fee is an expense for a company using factoring service and is debited.

So the general entry to record factoring would be,

Cash                                       43200 Dr

Factoring fee                         1800 Dr

       Accounts receivables                 45000    Cr

Cash = 0.96 * 45000 = 43200

Factoring fee = 45000 * 0.04 = 1800
