Answer: expensed immediately when incurred.
Explanation:
Under variable costing, only variable costs can be apportioned to the product as product costs. This means that fixed costs have to be expensed immediately they are incurred so that they do not feature in the product costs.
It is not a widely used principle as both U.S. GAAP and IFRS don't allow for its use in financial statements. They prefer absorption costing where fixed costs are apportioned to the products created.
Suppose you buy 30 of the September corn futures contracts at the last price of the day. One month from now, the futures price of this contract is 464.5, and you close out your position. Calculate your dollar profit on this investment
Full question attached
Answer and Explanation:
If you buy 30 of the September corn futures contract at the closing price of 472.00(refer to the chart in picture attached)
Your total buying value = 30×472.250=14167.5
Since one month from now the corn futures contract is 464.5
Total value of your corn futures now= 30×464.5= 13935
Profit/loss=13935-14167.5= -232.5
Therefore you make a loss of $232.5
Larry estimates that the costs of insurance, license, and depreciation to operate his car total $460 per month and that the gas, oil, and maintenance costs are 33 cents per mile. Larry also estimates that, on average, he drives his car 2,000 miles per month.
Required:
a. How much cost would Larry expect to incur during April if he drove the car 1,545 miles? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
b. Would it be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 2,000-mile month?
a. Yes
b. No
Answer and Explanation:
a The computation of the cost is
= $460 + 1,545 miles × 0.33
= $460 + $509.85
= $969.85
b. It should not be considered as the meaningful as the fixed cost would remains the fixed i.e. $460 also the 0.33 per mile should be considered as the variable cost that change with the change in the no of miles covered
Therefore the same should be considered

The risk free rate is 2.5%. This company can borrow debt at 5.2%. The firm has $5 billion in debt. It has 6 billion shares outstanding at $3 price/shr. The corporate tax rate (Tc) = 21% Question: What is the NPV of project B?a) $3,458
b) -$128
c) -$122
d) $2,158
Answer:
a) $3,458
Explanation:
The net present value is the present value of future cash flows discounted at the firm's weighted average cost of capital(which is the appropriate discount rate in this case) minus the initial investment outlay
cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(expected market return-risk free rate)
cost of equity=2.5%+1.5*(12%-2.5%)
cost of equity=16.75%
after-tax cost of debt=5.2%*(1-21%)
after-tax cost of debt=4.11%
WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)
weight of equity=value of equity/(value of equity+value of debt)
value of equity=6 billion*$3=$18 billion
value of debt=$5 billion
weight of equity=$18 billion/($18 billion+$5 billion)
weight of equity=78.26%
weight of debt=1-78.26%
weight of debt=21.74%
WACC=(78.26%*16.75%)+(21.74%*4.11%)
WACC=14.00%
present value of a future cash flow=future cash flow/(1+WACC)^n
n is the year in which the cash flow is expected, it is 1 for year 1 cash flow, 2 for year 2 cash flow ,and so on
NPV of project B=1000/(1+14%)^1+1000/(1+14%)^2++4000/(1+14%)^3+1000/(1+14%)^4+1000/(1+14%)^5-2000
NPV of project B=$ 3,458.00

Walters manufactures a specialty food product that can currently be sold for $21.50 per unit and has 19,500 units on hand. Alternatively, it can be further processed at a cost of $11,500 and converted into 11,500 units of Deluxe and 5,500 units of Super. The selling price of Deluxe and Super are $31.50 and $19.50, respectively. The incremental net income of processing further would be:
Answer:
the incremental net income of processing further is $38,750
Explanation:
The computation of the incremental net income of processing further is given below:
= (11,500 units × $31.50 + 5,500 units × $19.50 - $11,500) - ($19,500 × $21.50)
= ($362,250 + $107,250 - $11,500) - $419,250
= $38,750
Hence, the incremental net income of processing further is $38,750
If IBM has a beta of 1.2 when the risk-free rate is 6% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 18%, the expected return on IBM is:
Answer:
20.4%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the expected return on IBM is:
Using this formula
E(Ribm)=Risk-free rate+(Market portfolio -Risk-free rate) Beta
Let plug in the formula
E(Ribm) = 6% +(18%-6%)1.2
E(Ribm)=6%+12%(1.2)
E(Ribm)=6%+14.4%
E(Ribm)=20.4%
Therefore the expected return on IBM is:20.4%

If average household income increases by 20%, from $50,000 to $60,000 per year, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Triple Sevens from rooms per night to rooms per night. Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is , meaning that hotel rooms at the Triple Sevens are
Answer:
Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is 0.83, meaning that hotel rooms at the Triple Sevens are normal goods and necessities.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as some data in it are missing. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
If average household income increases by 20%, from $50,000 to $60,000 per year, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Triple Sevens rises from 300 rooms per night to 350 rooms per night. Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is __________, meaning that hotel rooms at the Triple Sevens are__________.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Percentage change in income = 20%
Percentage change in quantity of rooms demanded = ((350 - 300) / 300) * 100 = 16.67%
Income elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity of rooms demanded / Percentage change in income = 16.67% / 20% = 0.83
Since the income elasticity of demand is positive but less than one, this implies that hotel rooms at the Triple Sevens are normal goods and necessities.
Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is 0.83, meaning that hotel rooms at the Triple Sevens are normal goods and necessities.
Suppose a country has government expenditures of $3,500, taxes of $2,200, consumption of $9,000, exports of $2,500, imports of $2,700, transfer payments of $750, capital depreciation of $800 and investment of $3,000. GDP equals:_______.A. $24,450B. $11,550C. $15,300D. $20,700
Answer:
C. $15,300
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what GDP equals:
Using this formula
GDP = Consumption + Investment spending + Government Spending + Net Export
Where,
Net Export = Export - Import
Let plug in the formula
GDP=$9,000 + $3,000 + $3,500 + ($2500 - $2700)
GDP= $15,300
Therefore GDP equals:$15,300

Uruguay = 36000 x 0.03526 = 1269.36
Mexico = 29000 / 18.8709 = 1536.75
Dollars left at time return to U.S. = $10000 - 2167.44 - 1269.36 - 1536.75
Dollars left at time return to U.S. = 5026.45
Option D = 5026.44
If a firm has invested in corporate bonds, it may engage in a financial futures contract in order to protect itself from :___________
a. declining interest rates.
b. rising interest rates.
c. inflation.
d. changes in hedging activities.
Answer:
b. rising interest rates.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (creditor or investor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time.
Generally, the bond issuer is expected to return the principal at maturity with an agreed upon interest to the bondholder, which is payable at fixed intervals.
The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid. Thus, a bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.
In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium.
Generally, if a business firm has invested in corporate bonds, it may engage in a financial futures contract in order to protect itself from rising interest rates.
Suppose that a firm currently produces 100 units using 10 units of K and 14 units of labor per day. The wage rate is $100 and the rental rate is $150 per day. The cost to produce this output is
Answer: $2,900

Oliver's long-term care policy covers only services in a nursing facility and pays nothing for services provided at home or in the community. What kind of LTC policy does Oliver own?
Question options:
a. facility-challenged
b. substandard
c. tier 1
d. noncomprehensive
Answer:
d. noncomprehensive
Explanation:
Oliver has a noncomprehensive long term care(LTC). A non comprehensive long term care is policy that restricts services to the ones provided at a nursing facility, and so Oliver pays for the benefits of only the services of a nursing facility . It is different from a comprehensive long term care where services cover and can be provided at an adult day care, home, assisted living facilities, or at nursing facilities.
Oliver's policy which does not cover nursing facilities provided at home or in the community is known as a Non-comprehensive health insurance policy. So, the correct option is D.
A non-comprehensive policy is a type of policy that covers only expenses related to the health of the customer that are provided in the hospital in-house premises only.
It is to be noted that there are no nursing facility expenses reimbursed or paid to the policy holder in case of health issues faced, if any. There are several other types of policies which reimburse such expenses.In a non-comprehensive policy, the policy holder is entitled to receive health benefits of only core hospitalization and any other expenses like bedding, medications, out-house nursing facilities, etc.The premium to be paid on the non-comprehensive policy is less compared to a comprehensive policy as the benefits to be availed are also less and so the drill.Hence, the correct option is D that the non-comprehensive policy does not cover nursing facilities taken in-house or at the community.
