Answer:
$498.94
Explanation:
1 year interest rate = 5%
11 year interest rate = 7%
10 year spot interest rate at end of 1 year = [{(1+0.07)^11 / (1+0.05)}^(0.1) - 1]
10 year spot interest rate at end of 1 year = [(2.104852/1.05)^0.1] - 1
10 year spot interest rate at end of 1 year = 1.07202083615 - 1
10 year spot interest rate at end of 1 year = 0.072021
10 year spot interest rate at end of 1 year = 7.202%
Face value = $1,000
Forward Price of contract = $1000/(1+0.0720)^10
Forward Price of contract = $1000/2.00423136
Forward Price of contract = 498.944392915
Forward Price of contract = $498.94
January 400 $ 31,000 February 800 $ 37,000 March 1,600 $ 49,000 April 2,400 $ 61,000 Using the high-low method, the estimated total fixed cost is
Answer:
$25,000
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated total fixed cost is shown below:
But before that the variable cost per unit is
= ($61,000 - $31,000) ÷ (2,400 - 400)
= $30,000 ÷ 2,000
= $15
Now the estimated fixed cost is
= $61,000 - $15 × 2,400
= $61,000 - $36,000
= $25,000

Worldwide Manufacturing produces a unique valve and has the capacity to produce 50,000 valves annually. Currently Worldwide produces 40,000 valves and is thinking about increasing production to 45,000 valves next year. What is the most likely behavior of total manufacturing costs and unit manufacturing costs, given this change
Answer:
c) Total manufacturing costs will increase and unit manufacturing costs will also decrease.
Explanation:
Based on the information given the most likely behavior of total manufacturing costs and unit manufacturing costs, given this change is that TOTAL MANUFACTURING COSTS WILL INCREASE AND UNIT MANUFACTURING COSTS WILL DECREASE since Manufacturing cost consists of DIRECT MATERIALS, DIRECT LABOR, VARIABLE MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD and FIXED MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD in which direct materials, direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead are Variable expense which means that if the production increases from $40,000 to $45,000 the total manufacturing cost will as well INCREASE but due to the FIXED MANUFACTURING COST involved , the unit manufacturing cost will have to decrease.
g if you deposit $2,000 into an account and it earns 6% interest, how much will you have in 11 years
Answer:
Amount earned = $3320
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Principal, P = $2,000
Interest rate, R = 6%
Time, T = 11 years
To find the simple interest;
S.I = PRT/100
S.I = (2000*6*11)/100
S.I = 20*6*11
S.I = $1320
Amount earned = Principal + S.I
Amount earned = 2000 + 1320
Amount earned = $3320

Explanation:
Assume that you have been hired by a large international bank that is looking to develop a smartphone app to help college students with their finances, credit scores, and investments. The new product development process for the app is just beginning, and you are looking at ways that social media usage can be improved during each step of the process. Whatever new product type a firm plans to develop, it will likely follow a formal new-product development (NPD) process. Organizations increasingly use social media to evaluate potential new products. Social media are especially valuable for small businesses and nonprofit organizations, which typically have less money to spend on the NPD process. Match each social media marketing action with the appropriate step of the new-product development process.
Answer:
Determining that smartphone apps and social media aps are important parts of a bank's future plans to reach young consumers. ⇒ New Product Strategy.
Tweeting out the availability of a new smartphone app that helps young professionals manage their financial lives better. ⇒ Product launch.
Inviting younger "fans" of the bank's social media sites to have a free trial of the new smartphone app. ⇒ Test marketing.
Having a Faceb-ook discussion with consumers on what they would ideally like to have from a bank smartphone app. ⇒ Idea generation.
Creating a prototype of the smartphone app. ⇒ Product development.
Using Tw-itter to ask followers what they are willing to pay for smartphone apps. ⇒ Business analysis.
Developing a social media site that allows college students to review and provide feedback on new product ideas. ⇒ Idea screening.
Bethany needs to borrow $10,000. She can borrow the money at 6% simple interest for 5 yr or she can borrow at 5% with interest compounded continuously for 5 yr.
a. How much total interest would Bethany pay at 6% simple interest?
b. How much total interest would Bethany pay at 5% interest compounded continuously?
c. Which option results in less total interest?
Answer:
a. $3000
b. 2840.25
c. compounded continuously
Explanation:
a. principal amount, p = $10000
Interest rate in the case of simple interest = 6%
Time, t = 5 years
Interest amount = Prt
Interest amount = 10000 x 6% x 5 = $3000
b. principal amount, p = $10000
Interest rate, r = 5%
Time, t = 5 years
Interest amount = Pe^(rt) - P
Interest amount = 10000 (2.71)^(5% x 5) - 10000
Interest amount = 2840.25
c. Compounded continuously has a lower interest amount.
Bonita Industries constructed a building at a cost of $14400000. Weighted-average accumulated expenditures were $5620000, actual interest was $566000, and avoidable interest was $272000. If the salvage value is $1120000, and the useful life is 40 years, depreciation expense for the first full year using the straight-line method is
Answer:
$338,800
Explanation:
Cost of the building = $14400000
Average accumulated expenditures = $5620000
Actual interest = $566000
Avoidable interest = $272000
Salvage value = $1120000
Useful life = 40 years
Depreciation expense for the first full year:
= ((Cost of the building + Avoidable interest) - Salvage value) / Useful life
= (($14400000 + $272000) - $1120000) / 40
= ($14672000 - $1120000) / 40
= $13552000 / 40
= $338,800

Vaughn Manufacturing has beginning work in process inventory of $158000 and total manufacturing costs of $377000. If cost of goods manufactured is $380000, what is the cost of the ending work in process inventory
Answer:
Ending WIP= $155,000
Explanation:
To calculate the ending work in process, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
380,000= 158,000 + 377,000 - Ending WIP
Ending WIP= 158,000 + 377,000 - 380,000
Ending WIP= $155,000

Frank and Daniel both agreed to volunteer for a company project cleaning and organizing the district warehouse. There were to be 50 volunteers. Upon arrival, they discovered volunteer turnout was low. They were assigned to the northwest corner of the warehouse where they were to meet Trixie, who would give them their assignment. When they arrived, Trixie was nowhere to be found but they did find two push-brooms leaning against the wall. Frank took a seat on a box to wait for Trixie and his assignment. Daniel grabbed one of the push-brooms and began sweeping. While he was sweeping, Daniel thought, "This is why my desk looks so tidy, while Frank’s desk looks like a disaster." Which of the following statements is likely true of this scenario? Multiple Choice I
a. n this weak situation, Frank’s laziness trait is activated. In this strong situation, Daniel’s neurotic trait is activated.
b. In this weak situation, Daniel’s introversion trait is activated. In this strong situation Frank’s conscientiousness trait is activated.
c. In this weak situation, Daniel’s extraversion trait is activated.
Answer:
a. In this weak situation, Frank’s laziness trait is activated. In this strong situation, Daniel’s neurotic trait is activated.
Explanation:
A trait can be defined as the characteristics of a person that describes his nature and his behavior. It is the result of one's genes or are influence from surrounding or nature.
A neurotic trait of a person helps the person to deal with the stress. It is a tendency towards shyness, anxiety, etc.
In the context, it is given that both Frank and Daniel volunteered themselves for cleaning a district warehouse. They were assigned the northwest corner of the warehouse to clean. Daniel found a push-broom and started sweeping and cleaning the floor, while Frank waited for Trixie to arrive who will assigned them their job.
In this situation, it shows the laziness trait of Frank who felt too lazy to start his work before someone assigning them to him while Daniel is active and it shows his neurotic trait because of which Daniel started his job and did not waited for Trixie to come.
Thus the correct option is (a).
The Molding Department of Boswell Company has the following production data: beginning work process 40,000 units (60% complete), started into production 730,000 units, completed and transferred out 690,000 units, and ending work in process 80,000 units (40% complete). Assuming conversion costs are incurred uniformly during the process, the equivalent units for conversion costs are:
Answer: 770,000 units
Explanation:
The Equivalent units for Conversion cost is calculated as:
= Total units completed and transferred out + Equivalent units of closing work in process
As the conversion costs were incurred uniformly during the process, the entire closing work in process would have already incurred conversion cost. Conversion cost closing equivalent units are therefore 80,000 units.
Equivalent units for Conversion cost = 690,000 + 80,000
= 770,000 units
Laurel, Inc., and Hardy Corp. both have 7.3 percent coupon bonds outstanding, with semiannual interest payments, and both are currently priced at the par value of $1,000. The Laurel, Inc., bond has 4 years to maturity, whereas the Hardy Corp. bond has 23 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds
Answer:
Use a financial calculator to find out the price of both bonds after the drop in interest rate.
Laurel Bond
When a bond is trading at par, it means that the interest rate is equal to the coupon rate.
Semiannual Coupon = (7.3% * 1,000) / 2 = $36.50
Terms till maturity = 4 * 2 = 8 semi annual periods
Interest rate = (7.3% + 2%) / 2 = 4.65%
Future value = $1,000 par value
Price will come out as $993.20
Percentage change = (993.20 - 1,000) / 1,000 * 100%
= -0.68%
Hardy Bond
Semiannual Coupon = (7.3% * 1,000) / 2 = $36.50
Terms till maturity = 23 * 2 = 46 semi annual periods
Interest rate = (7.3% + 2%) / 2 = 4.65%
Future value = $1,000 par value
Price = $811.53
Percentage change = (811.53 - 1,000) / 1,000
= -18.85%
The viewpoint that business should be privately controlled and not controlled by the government is a perspective of a ________ economy.
Answer:
The viewpoint that business should be privately controlled and not controlled by the government is a perspective of a ____capitalist____ economy.
Explanation:
For example, the US economy provides a good example of a capitalist economy. A capitalist or market economy is also known as capitalism. It is an economic system whereby private individuals or businesses own capital goods or means of production. Therefore, the production of goods and services is based on the market forces of supply and demand. Since individuals and firms fix prices of and decide what goods and services to produce, rather than through central planning by the government, it is also known as a market economy. The opposite is called a command economy, characterized by central government planning.
A large manufacturing firm has been selling on a 3/10, net 30 basis. The firm changes its credit terms to 2/20, net 90. What change might be expected on the balance sheets of its customers?
A. Decreased receivables and increased bank loans
B. Increased receivables and increased bank loans
C. Increased payables and decreased bank loans
D. Increased payables and increased bank loan
Answer: Increased payables and decreased bank loans
Explanation:
It should be noted that 3/10, net 30 simply means when customer pays in 10 days, such person will get a 3% discount, if not the person will have to pay in full within the 30 days.
On the other hand, 2/20, net 90 means that when customer pays in 20 days, such person will get a 2% discount, if not the person will have to pay in full within the 90 days.
Therefore, the change that this will lead to on the balance sheets of its customers will be an increased payables as there'll be more time to make payment for the goods and decreased bank loans.
An increase in the price of rubber coincides with an advance in the technology of tire production. As a result of these two events,a. the demand for tires decreases and the supply of tires increases.b. the demand for tires is unaffected and the supply of tires decreases.c. the demand for tires is unaffected and the supply of tires increases.d. None of the above is necessarily correct. What should be the demand and supply?
Answer:
d
the demand for tires is unaffected and effect on the supply of tires could increase, decrease, or stay the same.
Explanation:
An increase in the price of rubber would lead to an increase in the cost of producing tires. Rubber is an input required in the production of tires.
As a result of the increase in the cost of rubber, the supply of rubber would decrease. This would lead to a leftward shift of the supply curve. Equilibrium price would increase and quantity would decrease
As a result of the advance in technology, there would be an increase in the supply of tires. As a result, the supply curve shifts outward. Equilibrium price would decrease and quantity would increase
Taking these wo effects together, the demand for tires is unaffected and effect on the supply of tire is indeterminate
Equilibrium in financial markets occurs at an interest rate where the quantity of loanable funds demanded is
Answer: c. equal to the quantity of loanable funds supplied.
Explanation:
Equilibrium in any market occurs when the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied and the loanable funds market are no different except that the quantity that is demanded and supplied in this market is the loanable funds and the price is the interest rate.
When the interest rate being offered by the financial institutions lending money is the same as the one being demanded by the people and companies who want loanable funds, the market is said to be in equilibrium.
Assume that the price of the sub sandwiches is $4 and the price of tacos is $2. When Harry's income is $14 he buys two Italian sub sandwiches and three tacos. The last column lists the values of the marginal utility per dollar for tacos when the price of tacos decreases to $1. Complete this statement: As a result of the change in price, the marginal utility of each taco Harry consumes increases and:__________
a. the substitution effect of the price change will cause Harry to buy more tacos if they are a normal good, and fewer tacos if they are an inferior good.
b. the substitution effect will cause Harry to buy another sub because his purchasing power has increased.
c. the substitution effect of the price change will cause Harry to buy more tacos and fewer subs.
d. the substitution effect will cause Harry to buy fewer tacos.
Answer:
c. the substitution effect of the price change will cause Harry to buy more tacos and fewer subs.
Explanation:
Since the price of tacos decreased, subs became relatively more expensive. The substitution effect occurs when a consumer (Harry in this case) changes his consumption habits because the price of the goods changes. In this case, tacos become cheaper, and therefore, Harry will obtain more utils per dollar.
Bloom Corporation purchased $1,450,000 of Taylor Company 5% bonds, at their face amount, with the intent and ability to hold the bonds until they matured in 2025, so Bloom classifies its investment as AFS.

Blart Corp. recently paid a dividend of $5.00 per share. Analysts forecast future dividends will increase by 2% forever. The required rate of return that investors demand to hold Blart Corp.'s stock is 8% What is its estimated price per share today
Answer: $85.0
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the estimated price per share today will be:
Po = Do (1 + g) / (r - g)
Where,
Po = Current price
Do = Current dividend = 5.00
g = Dividend growth = 2% = 0.02
r = Required rate of return = 8% = 0.08
Therefore, the estimated price per share today will be:
= 5.00(1 + 0.02) / (0.08 - 0.02)
= 5.00(1.02) / 0.06
= 5.10 / 0.06
= 85.00
Therefore, the answer is $85

Transaction Price When to recognize revenue
a. $908,000 Delivery Time
b. $797,000 30 days' time
c. $462,200 18 months and 24 months' time
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
a. $908,000 Delivery Time
b. $797,000 30 days' time
c. $462,200 18 months and 24 months' time
b) For the goods sold on installment sales, the payments are also deferred. Therefore, the seller does not recognize any gain until installments are received. Since installment sales encompass much longer time periods compared to credit sales, there are no discounts offered for early payments. The seller in an installment sales maintains an ownership interest in the goods sold until the buyer pays the balance due in full.
In the Month of March, Digby received orders of 123 units at a price of $15.00 for their product Deal. Digby uses the accrual method of accounting and offers 30 day credit terms. Digby delivers 123 units in April. They received payment for 62 units in March, and 62 units in April. In the March income statement, how much revenue is recognized on the March income statement from this order
Answer:
The amount of revenue is recognized on the March income statement from this order is $1,845.00.
Explanation:
Accrual accounting can be described as a method of accounting in which revenue or expenses are recorded at the time of the transaction rather than when payment is received or made.
Since this transaction occurred in March, the total revenue of orders of 123 units received in the month of March will be recognized on the March income statement from this order. That is:
Amount of revenue to recognized in March = 123 * $15.00 = $1,845.00
Therefore, the amount of revenue is recognized on the March income statement from this order is $1,845.00.
