How much will be in the Prepaid Insurance account at the end of the year, after the adjusting entries have been prepared and posted
Answer: $8,400
Explanation:
The $9,600 is for 2 years in advance. This can be apportioned per month at a rate of;
= 9,600/24
= $400 per month.
October to the end of the year is 3 months so;
= 400 * 3
= $1,200 will be recorded for the year.
Prepaid Insurance will therefore reduce to;
= 9,600 - 1,200
= $8,400

Explain whether each of the following events shifts the short-run aggregate-supply curve, the aggregate-demand curve, both, and neither. Households decide to save a larger share of their income. Florida orange groves suffer a prolonged period of below-freezing temperatures. Increased job opportunities overseas cause many people to leave the country.
Answer:
1. Households decide to save a larger share of their income. - Aggregate-Demand Curve
If households in the economy started saving more of their money then this would leave less money for consumption which is one of the components of Aggregate Demand. When Consumption decreases so also will Aggregate Demand thereby shifting the Aggregate-Demand Curve to the left.
2. Florida orange groves suffer a prolonged period of below-freezing temperatures. - Short-run Aggregate Supply Curve
With the Florida Orange Groves suffering from below freezing temperatures, the oranges will not grow as much leading to a poor harvest. This will reduce the supply of oranges in the economy and shift the short-run Aggregate supply curve left.
3. Increased job opportunities overseas cause many people to leave the country. Both Aggregate-Demand Curve and Short-run Aggregate Supply Curve.
With less people in the Economy, there will be less people spending on goods and services which will cause the Aggregate Demand curve to shift to the left.
Also with people leaving the country, the labor force will decrease which will mean that less people are available to produce goods and services so the short-run Aggregate supply curve will shift left.
Tom and Lynda also inform you that the monthly individual membership fee is $100and that the monthly family membership fee is $160. Hercules offers a 10% discount if amember pays the entire year’s fee in a lump sum. About 180 individuals and 60 families takeadvantage of this offer – these numbers are spread evenly throughout the year. Herculespays for 60% of its purchases during the month of the purchase, and the remainder thenext month. Other variable costs (paid in cash) amount to $25 per month for each individualmembership and $45 per month for each family membership. Hercules also incurs$41,000 (which includes $12,500 in depreciation) toward fixed costs each month. Finally,Tom and Lynda inform you that they have to pay $20,000 toward the purchase of newequipment in September, and that they take out $15,000 each month as their profit. Finally,Hercules began September with a cash balance of $6,000.Required:What is Hercules’ cash budget for September?
Answer:
Net Cash $2,170
Explanation:
Cash Budget for September:
Beginning Balance $6,000
Individual membership fee revenue $1,350
Family membership fee revenue $720
Less:Variable Cost Individual ($25 * 15) $375
Less:Variable Cost Family ($25 * 5) $125
Less:Purchase of Machine $20,000
Less:Fixed cost $41,000
Net Cash $2,170
Individual membership fee revenue
$100 * 90% * 180 = 16,200 per year
16,200 / 12 = 1,350 per month.
Memberships per month = 180/12 = 15
Family membership fee revenue
$160 * 90% * 60 = 8,640 per year
8,640 / 12 = 720 per month.
Memberships per month = 60/12 = 5
Inefficient output and price, few choices for consumers, and rent seeking are all problems associated with
Answer: c. Monopolies.
Explanation:
Because Monopolies have no competition, the main incentive to be efficient is missing. This leads to a situation where Monopolies are not as efficient as they are to be in production as well as price because they will charge a price that does not match the optimal quantity associated with that price.
With no or few competition in the market, consumers will not have a lot of choices on entities to source the good from and there is a problem of Rent seeking with Monopolies as well. Rent seeking for monopolies occurs when they charge people above the price they are to charge if they were in a competitive market. They are therefore making more money than they should at the expense of customers.

The total manufacturing cost is the sum of the variable manufacturing cost and the fixed manufacturing cost.
Manufacturing cost = variable cost + Fixed cost
This can be represent using the formula below
Y = bx + a
Y -Manufacturing cost
b- Variable cost per unit
a- Fixed cost
X- number of units
Y = (45,000× 16) + 24,000 = $744000
Budgeted Manufacturing cost =$744,000

Jim and Kay Ross contributed to the support of their two children, Dale and Kim, and Jim's widowed parent, Grant. During the year, Dale, a 19-year-old full-time college student, earned $5,500 as a babysitter. Kim, a 23-year-old bank teller, earned $12,000. Grant received $5,000 in dividend income and $4,000 in nontaxable Social Security benefits (dividends, but not social security benefits, will be included in Grant's gross income). Kim and Grant currently reside with Jim and Kay. Dale's main place of residence is with Jim and Kay, and he is currently on a temporary absence to attend school. How many dependents can Jim and Kay claim on their joint income tax return?
Answer: 1 dependent
Explanation:
Only Dale can be claimed as a dependent as he is a qualifying child who is under 24 and is a full time student.
Kim cannot be claimed as a dependent as Kim is above the age of 19. To be a qualifying child for dependency, Kim would have to be less than 19 or less than 24 were Kim a full time student.
Grant also does not qualify as a dependent under the Qualifying relative designation as Grant's gross income of $5,000 exceeds the limit of $4,200 that Grant would have to be making less than in 2019 to be claimed as a qualifying relative.

And other consequence that may help the change of the strategy is the effort itself of managers to make the strategy better as ideas turn to came out.
An investor buys a total of 360 shares-year bond with a $1,000 face value for $800. The bond's coupon rate is 8% and interest payments are made semi-annually. Waht are the bond's yield to maturity and effective annual yield?
Answer:
YTM (Annual( = 10.13%
Effective Annual Yield =10.40%
Explanation:
In order to calculate Yield to maturity, we need to use yield to maturity formula.
Formula: Yield to maturity = [C +(F – P)/n]/(F + P)/2
Where,
C = Coupon amount
F = Face value
n = number of periods
P = Current price
Data
C = 1000 x 8 % = 80
C (6months) = 80 x 6/12 = 40
F = $1000
n = 30 years
P = $800
Solution
YTM = 40 + (1000 – 800/30)/(1000 + 800)/2
YTM = 40 + (200/30)/(1800/2 )
YTM = 40 +( 200/30)/900
YTM = 5.068 semiannual
YTM (Annual( = 10.13%
Effective Annual Yield = [tex](\frac{1+0.1014}{2})^{2-1}[/tex]
Effective Annual Yield =10.40%
A stock has a beta of 1.28, the expected return on the market is 12 percent, and the risk-free rate is 4.5 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Expected return on stock =14.1 0%
Explanation:
The Capital Asset pricing Model (CAPM) can be used to determined the expected return on the stock.
According to the Capital Asset pricing Model the expected return on stock is dependent on the level of reaction of the the stock to changes in the return on a market portfolio.
These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market, Ke-return on stock
Using this model, we can work out the return on stock as follows:
DATA
Ke-?
Rf- 4.5%
β-1.2 8
Rm- 12%
Ke = 4.5% + 1.28× (12-4.5)%=14.1 0%
Expected return on stock =14.1 0%

Steel Tariffs Appear to Have Backfired on Bush
President Bush set aside his free-trade principles last year and imposed heavy tariffs on imported steel to help out struggling mills in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Some economists say the tariffs may have cost more jobs than they saved, by driving up costs for automakers and other steel users.
Source: The Washington Post, September 19, 2003
Explain how a high tariff on steel imports can help domestic steel producers.
Explain how a high tariff on steel imports can harm steel users.
When a high tariff is placed on steel imports, U.S. steel producers produce______steel and they pay a ________price.
A. less; higher
B. more; lower
C. less; lower
D. more; higher
Answer:
Steel industry in the United States of America has had its up and down over the years. this is especially going by the fact that it is cheaper to import steel from outside America than to buy those produced in U.S. However, high tariff on steel import would enable the domestic steel producers to meet their obligation as well as recoup their investments in the steel industry in U.S.
For example, most construction based organisation would prefer to buy from domestic steel producer if the price and tariff of imported ones makes it extremely difficult to purchase.
On the other-hand, the high tariff placed on steel import could also harm steel users due to the fact that, the quality of steel which they buy from outside U.S would no longer be available to them.
Also, they would be forced to buy at whatever price from domestic producers whether they had need for the steel or not due to high tariff on imported ones.
When a high tariff is placed on steel imports, U.S. steel producers produce more steel and they pay a higher price.
Answer: D. more; higher

At the beginning of 2023, the Mackinac Company purchased a machine for $510,000 (salvage value of $60,000) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation, but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the depreciation base. Depreciation has been recorded through 2025. The errors were discovered on 1/10/26; the 2025 books are still open. Correcting journal entries would include what entry to 1/1/25 Retained Earnings?
Answer:
$10,000 credited
Explanation:
DATA
Machine cost = 510,000
Salvage value = $60,000
Useful life = 6 years
Depreciation = $60,000/6years
Depreciation = $10,000
It means that we have overstated depreciation expense for the year with the amount of $10,000.
Retained earnings will be credited by $10,000 As the depreciation expense was overstated mistakenly by $10,000
E Corporation produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 44,000 units per month is as follows:
Per Unit
Direct materials $44.60
Direct labor $8.50
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.50
Fixed manufacturing overhead $18.10
Variable selling & administrative expense $2.60
Fixed selling & administrative expense $12.00
The normal selling price of the product is $94.10 per unit. An order has been received from an overseas customer for 2,400 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $1.60 less per unit on this order than on normal sales.
Suppose there is ample idle capacity to produce the units required by the overseas customer and the special discounted price on the special order is $80.40 per unit. The monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:_______
Answer:
financial advantage for accepting special order = $59,520
Explanation:
relevant production costs for special order (2,400 units):
direct materials $44.60
direct labor $8.50
variable manufacturing overhead $1.50
variable selling & administrative expense $1
total costs per unit = $55.60
total revenue from special order = 2,400 x $80.40 = $192,960
relevant costs associated to special order = 2,400 x $55.60 = ($133,440)
financial advantage for accepting special order = $59,520
Given money demand, by how much would the Moola central bank need to change the money supply to close the output gap?
Answer:
A. 5%
B. $20
C.-$20
D. $100 increase
E.$2
Explanation:
a. Calculation for the equilibrium interest rate in Moola
When we look at the table we would actually see that Money supply amount of $500 equal the Money demand amount of $500 which means that the equilibrium interest rate will be 5 percent.
b. The level of investment at the equilibrium interest rate.
Since we have 5% as the equilibrium interest rate which means that the investment at the equilibrium interest rate will be $20.
c. If we look at table we are going to see that the potential GDP of the amount of $330 and the actual GDP of the amount of $350 are beside the interest rate of 5 percent and we could as well see that actual GDP is lower than potential GDP which means that there is negative recessionary GDP gap.
Hence,
Recessionary GDP gap= Actual GDP - Potential GDP
Recessional GDP gap=Actual GDP $330- Potential GDP=-$20
Therefore-$20 will be the recessionary GDP gap.
d. In order for us to eliminate the recessionary gap, so that actual GDP amount can equal potential GDP , this means we have to increase the money supply to the amount of $600 which will inturn lead to an increase of $100
e. Calculation for the expenditure multiplier,
Expenditure multiplier=(Potential GDP $350-Actual GDP $330)/($20-$10)
Expenditure multiplier=$20/10
Expenditure multiplier=$2
Therefore the Expenditure multiplier will be $2
The question is incomplete as the table is not given.
In economics, demand and supply are the most important factors for any business to analyze the market. There is an inverse relationship between demand and supply. If the demand is high and supply is low then there will be higher prices of the goods.
The Moola central bank needs to change the supply of money by increasing $100 to close the output gap.
Reason:
In order to make the actual GDP amount to be equal to the potential GDP, that means by increasing the money supply of $600 will give the effect of $100 for covering the gap.

A company would like to evaluate two incentive schemes that take effect once the worker exceeds standard performance. In the first case the benefits are split 30% to the worker and 70% to the company up to 120% performance. If the worker exceeds 120% performance, all of the earnings go to the worker. In the second case, all earnings beyond standard performance are split 50/50 between the worker and the company.
a. Plot the earnings for each scheme.
b. Derive the equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme
c. Find the point at which the two plans break even.
d. Which do you think would the company prefer?
Answer:
B) plan 1 : worker earning y = x - 0.14 , unit labor = [tex]\frac{x-(0.14)}{x}[/tex]
plan 2 : worker earning y = 0.5x + 0.5, unit labor = (0.5x + 0.5) / x
C) At 128%
D ) plan D IS PREFERABLE
Explanation:
In the first case Benefits are split : 30% to worker , 70% to company ( up to 120% ) performance
In the second case benefits 50% go to the worker and 50% go the company
B) The equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme
Plan 1 :
y ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1
unit labor cost = Y / 1
y = 0 - 30
unit labor = 0.3 / x
y = x - 0.14 therefore unit labor = [tex]\frac{x-(0.14)}{x}[/tex]
plan 2 :
y ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1, y = 0.5x + 0.5
unit labor cost : Y / 1 = (0.5x + 0.5) / x
C ) The point at which the two plans break even
0.5x + 0.5 = x - 0.14
0.5 + 0.14 = x - 0.5x
0.64 = x(1 - 0.5 )
x = 0.64 / 0.5 = 1.28 = 128%
D) The company would prefer plan 1

If WiseGuy Inc. uses payback period rule to choose projects, which of the projects (Project A or Project B) will rank highest?
a) Project A
b) Project B
c) Project A and B have the same ranking
d) Cannot calculate a payback period without a discount rate
Answer: b) Project B
Explanation:
Payback period works by checking how long it will take a project to pay back the initial amount invested in it. Project A.
Project A
Payback Period = Year before Payback happens + Amount left till payback/Cash inflow in year of payback
= Time 1 + Time 2
= 4,000 + 3,000
= $7,000
This amount is not enough to cover the investment of $10,000 so the investment will be paid in Time 3 and remains $3,000.
= 2 + 3,000/10,000
= 2.3 Times
Project B
= Time 1 + Time 2
= 3,000 + 2,000
= $5,000
At the end of Time 2, Project B has paid off its initial investment of $5,000. Its Payback period is 2 Times. This is lower than Project A so this project will rank higher.

a. $91,561
b. $47,773
c. $43,673
d. $84,788
Answer:
The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 10% × 81000 × 1/2 = 4050
Semi-annual yield = 8%/2= 4 % per six months
Total period to maturity (in months)
= (2 × 8) = 16 periods (Note the bond term is 8 yeras)
PV of interest = 4050 × (1-1.04^(-16))/0.04 = 47,191.79
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
Assuming a redemption value equals to the nominal value =
PV of RV = 81,000 × 1.04^-16 = 43,246.56
Step 3 :Total Present Value
Total prent value = 43,246.56 + 47,191.79721 = 90,438.36
The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36
Barb bought a house with 20% down and the rest financed by a 30-year mortgage with monthly payments calculated at a nominal annual rate of interest 8.4% compounded monthly. She notices that one-third of the way through the mortgage she will still owe 200,000. Determine the purchase price of the house.
Answer:
$282,706
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the purchase price of the house
First step
In order for us to determine the purchase price of the house we would be using TVM Calculation to find the PMT
Hence,
PMT =
PV = 200,000
FV = 0
N = 240
I = 0.084/12
Thus,PMT = $1,723.01
The Second step will be to Calculate the Loan Amount Using TVM Calculation,
PV =
FV = 0
PMT = -1,723.01
N = 360
I = 0.084/12
Thus, PV = $226,164.98
Last step is to Determine the purchase price of the house
Using this formula
Purchase price=PV/(100%-20% down)
Let plug in the formula
Purchase price =226,164.98/(0.80)
Purchase price = $282,706
Therefore the purchase price of the house will be $282,706
