Leaf Co. purchased from Oak Co. a $20,000, 8%, 5-year note that required five equal annual year-end payments of $5,009. The note was discounted to yield a 9% rate to Leaf. At the date of purchase, Leaf recorded the note at its present value of $19,485. What should be the total interest revenue earned by Leaf over the life of this note
Answer:
$5,560
Explanation:
Given the following:
Present value of note recorded by Leaf on purchase date = $19,485
Annual year end payments = $5,009
Number of payments required = 5
Therefore, total amount received by Leaf :
Annual year-end payment * number of payments
$5,009 * 5 = $25,045
Present value of note recorded at purchase =$19,485
Therefore, total interest revenue earned by Leaf over the life of this note:
Total amount received - present value of note recorded
$25,045 - $19,485
= $5,560

Bread Co. commenced operations during the year as a large importer and exporter of baked goods. The imports were all from one company in France. The export sales were conducted as drop shipments. Bread never took possession of the goods and they were merely transshipped at San Francisco. Bread Co. reported the following data:Purchases during the year$15.0 millionShipping costs from overseas$1.5 millionShipping costs to export customers$1.0 millionInventory at year end$3.0 millionWhat amount of shipping costs should be included in ABC Trading's year-end inventory valuation?a. $0b. $200,000c. $300,000d. $500,000
Answer: c. $300,000
Explanation:
Here, the shipping costs from overseas is part in inventory costs whereas the shipping costs to export are part of expense not inventory.
Given: Purchases during the year $15.0 million
Shipping costs from overseas$1.5 million
Shipping costs to export customers$1.0 million
Inventory at year end $3.0 million
Amount of shipping costs should be included in ABC Trading's year-end inventory valuation = (Inventory at year end)÷(Purchases during the year ) × (Shipping costs from overseas)
= ($3,000,000) ÷ ($15,000,000) × ($1,500,000)
= $300,000
Hence, the correct option is c. $300,000.

As Jack later failed to reach Harold, Harold requested that Andrea uphold the deal, as Jack sold the picture as her agent
Andrea is liable to uphold his deal with Harold, as Jack had obvious authority.
wants to use the capital retention approach to determine how much life insurance to purchase. Robert would like to provide $35,000 per year to his family, forever, if he dies.

Her U.S. tax liability was $23,000. What amount of foreign tax credit can she claim on her return
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Ginger has to choose between claiming a tax credit of a deduction for income taxes paid to foreign countries. She has already claimed a $5,000 foreign income exclusion (for taxes paid in Spain), and she has already made the deduction for the $1,000 paid in taxes to France.

In an open-market operation, the Fed buys $10 million of government bonds from individual investors. If the required reserve ratio is 10 percent, the largest possible increase in the money supply that could result is $________ million, and the smallest possible increase is $_________ million.
Answer:
$100 million ; $10 million
Explanation:
Required reserve ratio (r) = 10%
Worth of bond = $10,000,000
The smallest increase can be thought of as being the $10million generated from open market operation and could be held by the bank as reserve.
To calculate the largest increase in deposit:
Money multiplier * deposit (worth of bond)
Money multiplier = (1 / reserve ratio)
Money multiplier = (1 / 0.1) = 10
Increase in deposit = 10 * $10,000,000 = $100,000,000 ( $100 million)

Your answer
If the expected dividend growth rate is zero, then the cost of external equity capital raised by issuing new common stock (re) is equal to the cost of equity capital from retaining earnings (rs) divided by one minus the percentage flotation cost required to sell the new stock, (1 - F). If the expected growth rate is not zero, then the cost of external equity must be found using a different formula.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
a) true
Explanation:
[P₀ x (1 - F)] = [Div₀ x (1 + g)] / (Re - g)
if g = 0
[P₀ x (1 - F)] = Div₀ / Re
cost of internal equity ⇒ {Rie x [P₀ x (1 - F)]} / Div₀, but F = 0, so (Rie x P₀) / Div₀
cost of external equity ⇒ {Ree x [P₀ x (1 - F)]} / Div₀
we must equal them:
(Rie x P₀) / Div₀ = {Ree x [P₀ x (1 - F)]} / Div₀ ⇒ Div₀s are cancelled out
Rie x P₀ = {Ree x [P₀ x (1 - F)]} ⇒ P₀s are cancelled out
Rie = Ree x (1 - F)
Ree = Rie (1 - F)
cost of external equity = cost of internal equity / (1 - F)

If the expected return generated by a financial asset is greater than what is required for compensating the asset's risk, the demand for the financial asset will start rising exponentially such that the initial cost incurred to take a position in the financial asset (the price of the financial asset) will increase. This in turn will depress the expected returns generated by the financial asset. This process will continue till the excess return being generated by the asset ceases to exist and the asset's price becomes commensurate with the asset's risk-return profile. This entire process is known as arbitrage.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Arbitrage refers to buying and selling stocks, commodities, bonds, currencies, or any other type of security. This process is carried out simultaneously, and a profit is made when the purchase price is lower than the selling price. E.g. a trader that purchases gold from a European seller and immediately sells it to an Asian buyer at a slightly higher price.
As technology advances, arbitrage has become more difficult to carry out because information is available to everyone. Before, a company could purchase a good (e.g. beef) in Texas and sell it at a higher price to a buyer in New York.
The CPI was 172 in 2007, and the CPI was 46.5 in 1982. If your parents put aside $1,000 for you in 1982, then how much would you have needed in 2007 in order to buy what you could have bought with the $1,000 in 1982
Answer:
The amount needed in the year 2007=$3,698.92
Explanation:
This price index is the weighted average price of a basket of goods and services consumed by a typical consumer. It is used to measure the rate of inflation.
A rise in the price index implies inflation
Inflation is the increase in the general price level. Inflation erodes the value of money.
So we can determine the amount required today to buy goods worth $1000 in 1982 as follows:
CPI in the current year /CPI base year× Cost in base years
(CPI in 2007/CPI in 1982) × Cost in 1982
172/46.5× 1000 =$3,698.92
The amount needed in the year 2007=$3,698.92
