Firms HD and LD are identical except for their level of debt and the interest rates they pay on debt—HD has more debt and pays a higher interest rate on that debt. Based on the data given below, what is the difference between the two firms' ROEs? Applicable to Both Firms Firm HD's Data Firm LD's Data Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30% EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10% Tax rate 35%
Answer:
2.41%
Explanation:
The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-
Particulars Firm HD Firm LD
Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30%
EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10%
Tax rate 35%
Debt $100 $60
Interest $12 $6
($100 × 12%) ($60 × 10%)
Taxable income $28 $36
($40- $12) ($40 - $6)
Net income $18.2 $22.1
$28 × (1 - 0.35) $36 × (1 - 0.35)
Equity $100 $140
($200 - $100) ($200 - $60)
ROE 18.2% 15.79%
($18.2 ÷ $100) ($22.1 ÷ $140)
Taxable income = EBIT - Interest
Net income = Income - Taxable income
Equity = Assets - Debt
ROE = Net income ÷ Equity
Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD
= 18.2% - 15.79%
= 2.41%
So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.
Lehi City has designated an internal service fund as the single fund to account for its self-insurance activities. Most of the insured activities such as the police department, fire department, and general government functions are accounted for in the General Fund. What is the maximum amount that can be charged to expenditure in the General Fund related to the self-insurance activities
Answer: c)The actuarially determined amount necessary to cover claims, expenditures, and catastrophic losses.
Explanation:
The Expenditure on the account related to self - insurance activities refers to the amounts that will be deducted from the fund for anything insurance related.
The insurance is meant to cover the claims and unlikely events of catastrophies. Therefore when those things do occur it will be deducted from the service fund to cover those things.
Those along with expenses incurred to maintain the fund will be considered expenses and that is the maximum amounts that can be deducted from the fund.
Data collected from the economy of Pokerville reveals that a 16% increase in income leads to the following changes:
• A 12% increase in the quantity of horses demanded.
• A 14% decrease in the quantity of clubs demanded.
• A 28% increase in the quantity of diamonds demanded.
Compute the income elasticity of demand for each good and use the dropdown menus to complete the first column in the following table.
Good Income Elasticity of Demand Normal or Inferior Good
Horses
Spades
Aces
Which of the following three goods is most likely to be classified as a luxury good?
a. Aces
b. Spades
c. Horses
Answer:
Horses - 0.75 - normal
Clubs- 0.875 - inferior
Diamonds - 1.75 - normal
Diamond is a luxury good
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income of the consumer.
Income elasticity of demand = percentage change in demand / percentage change in income
Income elascitiy for horses = 12% / 16% =
Income elasticity of demand for spades = 14% / 16% = 0.875
Income elasticity of demand for diamonds 28% / 16% = 1.75
A normal good is a whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls.
An inferior good is a good whose demand increases when income falls and whose demand falls when income increases.
Horses and diamonds are normal goods because the demand for the goods increases with income while clubs are inferior goods because the demand for the goods falls when income rises.
A luxury good is a good whose demand rises more than the rise in income. The demands for diamonds increase more than the increase in income, so diamonds are luxury goods.

Chen Company's account balances at December 31, 2017 for Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts are $800,000 debit and $1,500 credit. Sales during 2017 were $2,750,000. It is estimated that 1% of sales will be uncollectible. The adjusting entry would include a credit to the allowance account for:___________.
A) $29,000.
B) $27,500.
C) $26,000.
D) $8,000.
Answer:
B) $27,500.
Explanation:
The computation of the amount credited to the allowance account is shown below:
= Sales during the 2017 year × estimated uncollectible percentage
= $2,750,000 × 1%
= $27,500
By multiplying the sales with the estimated uncollectible percentage we can get the amount credited to the allowance account and the same is to be considered
Hence, the correct option is B
Niler Corporation reported the following after-tax information for its current fiscal year: $35,000 income from continuing operations, $8,400 income from operations of discontinued Line C, and $12,500 loss on disposal of Line C.
Starting with income from continuing operations, prepare a partial income statement for Niler for the current year. Ignore earnings per share.
Answer:
The net income for Niler Corporation for the current year is $30,900.
Explanation:
When there is a discontinued operation, the income from the discontinued operation is added to the income from continuing operations while the loss on disposal of the same operation is added to obtain the net income for the company. This can be done as follows for this question:
Niler Corporation
Partial Income Statement
Details $
Income from continuing operations 35,000
income from operations of discontinued Line C 8,400
Loss on disposal of Line C (12,500)
Net income 30,900
Therefore, the net income for Niler Corporation for the current year is $30,900.
Analyzing Accounts Receivable Changes The comparative balance sheets of Sloan Company reveal that accounts receivable (before deducting allowances) increased by $15,000 in 2013. During the same time period, the allowance for uncollectible accounts increased by $2,100. If sales revenue was $120,000 in 2013 and bad debts expense was 2.5% of sales, how much cash was collected from customers during the year?
Answer:
Cash was collected from customers during the year was $ 104,100
Explanation:
Sales revenue = $120,000
Bad debt expense = 2.5% of sales
Therefore, Bad debt expense = $120,000 x 2.5% = $3,000
Thus, allowance for uncollectible accounts should have increased by $3,000. But it increased by $2,100.
Therefore, uncollectible accounts receivable of $900 ($3,000 - $2,100) were written off during that year.
Cash collected from customers = Sales revenue - Increase in accounts receivable - Uncollectible accounts written off
= $120,000 - $15,000 - $900
= $104,100
On average, 5% of credit sales has been uncollectible in the past. At year-end, before adjusting entries, the Accounts Receivable balance is $100,000 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is $500 (credit). Net credit sales during the year were $150,000. Using the percentage of credit sales method, the ending balance in the "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" is
Answer: $7500
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Accounts Receivable balance= $100,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $500
Net credit sales = $150,000.
Percentage-of-sales approach states that the amount of bad debt expense that is recognized by a company will be calculated as a percentage of the credit sales that are generated during the current accounting period.
Using the percentage of credit sales method, the ending balance in the "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" will be:
= Net credit sales × percentage of credit sales uncollected in the past
= $150,000 × 5%
= $150,000 × 0.05
= $7500
Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is pequals=140140minus−22q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $2020, which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer: $1800
Explanation:
Here is the correct question:
Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is p=140-2q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $20, which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer:
p = 140 - 2q
The profit-maximizing membership fee will be equal to total surplus
Therefore, the number of rounds that Joe played will be,
P = MC
20 = 140 - 2q
2q = 140 - 20
2q = 120
q = 120/2
q = 60
Total surplus = 1/2 × (vertical intercept of the demand curve - marginal cost) × the quantiy of rounds.
Total surplus = 1/2 × (140 - 20) × 60
= 1/2 × 120 × 60
= 3600
Therefore, the maximum membership fee will be = $3600.
If the firm charge Joe a single price , then the rounds provided will be such that MR = MC
Total revenue = price × quantity
TR = (140 - 2q) × q
TR = 140q - 2q²
MR = dTR/dQ = 140 - 4q
We then equate MR = MC
140 - 4q = 20
4q = 140 - 20
4q = 120
q = 120/4
q = 30
P = 140 - 2q
P = 140 - (2 × 30)
P = 140 - 60
P = 80
Therefore, the profit if a single price is charge will be:
= TR - TC = pq - MC×q = (P-MC)×Q
= (80-20) × 30
= $1800
Therefore, the increase in the profit by two-par pricing will be:
=Membership fee - Profit of single price charge
= $3600 - $1800
= $1800

Here is the complete question:
friend and fellow student shares her employment experience over the last 12-week summer break. It took her one full week to find a job. She started on the first day of week two and was able to keep her job for the remaining eleven weeks. Use this information to answer the following three questions, assuming the unemployment rate is not changing:
1. Calculate the rate of job finding (f) for the summer, using an average rate per week. Enter this value in the box below. Note that if f is the rate of job finding, then the average spell of unemployment is (1/f).
The value of f is:
2. Calculate the rate of job separation (s), using an average rate per week. Enter this value into the box below. Note that if s is the rate of job separation, then the average length of employment is (1/s).
The value of s is:
3. Calculate the natural rate of unemployment (U) using the above results and enter this value in the box below.
The natural rate of unemployment (in percent) is
1. From the question, we can see that it was said that took her one full week to get a job over the last 12 week summer break. The unemployment rate will be 12.
The value of f is: 12
2. From the question, the average length of the employment is 11/12 weeks. The rate of job separation will be: s = 12weeks ÷ 11 weeks
s = 1.090
The value of s is: 1.090
3. The natural rate of unemployment will be:
U = s/(s+f)
= 1.090/(1.090 + 12)
= 1.090/13.090
= 0.08327
On January 1, Year 1, Milton Manufacturing Company purchased equipment with a list price of $37,000. A total of $4,000 was paid for installation and testing. During the first year, Milton paid $6,000 for insurance on the equipment and another $700 for routine maintenance and repairs. Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units. What is the amount of depreciation for Year 1
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $4,620
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $37,000
Installation= $4,000
Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and the estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units.
First, we will determine the total cost consisting of the purchasing price and all costs to make the equipment operable.
Total cost= 37,000 + 4,000= $41,000
Now, to calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(41,000 - 8,000)/100,000]*14,000
Annual depreciation= $4,620
Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau conducts an income survey of about 60,000 American families carefully selected to represent the whole population. The data collected help to measure income inequality in the economy. Which of the following causes the census data to inaccurately measure income inequality?
a) Very few people move from one income quintile to another over the years.
b) Higher-income families tend to have more persons to support.
c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.
Answer:
c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.
Explanation:
In the given scenario the aim of the census is to measure income inequality in the population selected.
If however the amount of income earned by individuals is not estimated accurately the results of the study will be inaccurate.
In kind transfers are usually goods and services that a person gets for free of at a reduced rate. They are not considered to be income.
When in kind transfers are counted as income and do not actually add up to income, we cannot get a true picture of income of participants of the income survey.
People who have low income but high in kind transfers will be considered high income earners which is not true.

A short forward contract that was negotiated some time ago will expire in three months and has a delivery price of $40. The current forward price for three-month forward contract is $42. The three month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 8%. What is the value of the short forward contract?
Answer:
-$1.96 is the value.
Explanation:
The contract gives obligation to sell for $40 when a forward price negotiated today would give one obligation to sell for $42.
The value of contract is present value of
40 - 42= -$2
The rate is at 8%
8%= 0.08
3 months= 3/12= 0.25 years
The present value can be calculated as
Value of present contract= -2e^(0.08 x 0.25)
Value of present contract= -$1.96
An inexperienced accountant for Ayayai Corp. showed the following in the income statement: income before income taxes $250,000 and unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities (before taxes) $85,000. The unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities and income before income taxes are both subject to a 25% tax rate. Prepare a correct statement of comprehensive income.
Answer:
Ayayai Corp.
Statement of Comprehensive Income
For the Year Ended xxx, 202x
Net income $187,500
Other comprehensive income:
Unrealized gain on AFS securities $85,000
Comprehensive income $272,500
Explanation:
In order to prepare a statement of comprehensive income we first need to determine net income after taxes = $250,000 x (1 - 25%) = $187,500
Unrealized gains or losses are not taxed until they are actually realized (either make profit or lose money).
Kuzma Foods, Inc. has budgeted sales for June and July at $ 680 comma 000 and $ 765 comma 000, respectively. Sales are 85% credit, of which 70% is collected in the month of sale and 30% is collected in the following month. What is the budgeted Accounts Receivable balance on July 31?
Answer:
$195,075
Explanation:
The computation of the budgeted account receivable balance as on July 31 is shown below:
= July budgeted sales × credit sales percentage × following month percentage
= $765,000 × 85% × 30%
= $195,075
We simply multiplied the July budgeted sales with the credit sales percentage and the following month percentage so that the budgeted account receivable balance could come
A country produces melons and wheat. 1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw a representative PPC for this country. Label it 'PPC'. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is efficient. Label it 'A'. 3.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is attainable but not efficient. Label it 'BE'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.
Answer:
1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw a representative PPC for this country. Label it 'PPC'.
I have attached a picture below. It shows a simple possibilities frontier for a country that can produce up to 16 units of melons and wheat.
2.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is efficient. Label it 'A'
Producition points that are efficient are any points on the curve. Producing 16 melons and 0 wheat is efficient because all economic resources are being used to produce the maximum amount of a good that is possible. Producing 8 melons, and 8 units of wheat is also efficient for the same reason.
3.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is attainable but not efficient.
Any point inside the curve would be inefficient because resouces would be used to produce less than the maximum amount possible. For example, if 15 units of wheat are produced, but less than one unit of melon is produced, then, there is inefficiency, because 1 unit of melon should be produced in that case.

A cost center
A) only incurs costs and does not directly generate revenues.
B) incurs costs and generates revenues.
C) is a responsibility center of a company which incurs losses.
D) is a responsibility center which generates profits and evaluates the investment cost of earning the profit.
Answer: A---incurs costs and does not directly generate revenue.
Explanation:
A cost center is a department or unit in an organization which incurs cost on the organisation for its operation but does not directly add profit or directly generate revenue to the company.
Examples of a cost centre in a company include, The IT department., Research and Development Department.
For example the way in which an IT department, a cost centre in a company can indirectly generate revenue by operating efficiently and for the Research and Development Department is to develop a new promising product.
n the kinked demand curve model, competitors: A. ignore any price change by a rival firm. B. ignore any price increase and match any price decrease by a rival firm. C. match any price increase and ignore any price decrease by a rival firm. D. follow any price change by a rival firm.
Answer:
B. ignore any price increase and match any price decrease by a rival firm.
Explanation:
The kinked demand curve model is used by economists to provide information about the monopolistic and oligopolistic market.
Under oligopoly, the kinked demand curve shows that price aren't flexible for a long period of time. The kindred demand curve is associated with a demand curve that isn't a straight line but has varying elasticity for both lower and higher prices in the economic market.
Hence, organizations operating in an oligopolistic market ensure their market shares are maintained and well protected. Thus, an oligopolist would lower it's selling price if its competitors in the market lower their selling price. However, he or she ignores any price increase by his or her competitors.
The kinked demand curve model helps them to understand how to protect and expand their market share.
During the year, Lillie rented her vacation home for three months and spend one month there. Gross rental income from the property was $5,000. Lillie incurred the following expenses: mortgage interest, $3,000; real estate taxes $1,500; utilities, $800; and depreciation, $4,000. Compute Lillie's allowable deductions for the vacation home.
Answer:
$8,100
Explanation:
The home was rented for more than 14 days, you must pay taxes for the rental income
Since Lille used the house for more than 15 days herself, limits her deduction. The home cannot be treated as rental home nor personal use vacation home.
total days used = (30 x 3) + 30 = 120 days
rental days = 90/120 = 75% (this doesn't apply to mortgage interest nor real estate taxes, they are still 100% deductible)
mortgage interest and real estate taxes still qualify as personal expenses = $3,000 + $1,500 = $4,500
utilities and depreciation will be deducted only 75% = ($800 + $4,000) x 75% = $3,600
total deductions = $4,500 + $3,600 = $8,100

Explanation:
Accounting profit profit doesn't consider opportunity cost. So the value for opportunity cost will be left out. It is Economic profit that considers opportunity cost.
Accounting profit = revenue - cost(explicit cost which is all cost involved in directly running the business e.g cost of sales, electricity cost, wage etc.)
Revenue = $64,000
Explicit cost = $17,000
Therefore, Accounting profit is
$64,000 - $17,000
=$47,000
Botswana Electronics Company (BEC), is contemplating a research and development program encompassing eight major projects. The company is constrained from embarking on all of the projects by the number of available scientists (40) and the budget available for the projects ($300,000). What are the resource requirements and the estimated profit for each project?
Explanation:
Note that we are told that Botswana Electronics Company (BEC) is constrained because of the number of available scientists (40) and the budget available for the projects ($300,000). Since this is an Electronics production company much of the needed resources includes metals, cables, power, as well as specialised workforce.
Using conservative estimates for the eight project, the profit for each project should be $37,500 b($300,000/8)

required:
compute the number and total cost of unit available for sale in the year 2020?
Answer:
25,500 units
Cost of goods available for sale is $215,625.00
Explanation:
The available for sale units in the year is the sum of opening stock of inventory and purchases made in the course of the year as spelt below:
Quantity Price per unit $ total value $
Opening stock 6,500 8.25 53,625.00
Purchases(Jan7) 9,000 8.00 72,000.00
Purchases(Jan 21) 10,000 9.00 90,000.00
Total 25,500 215,625.00
The total number of goods available for sale is 25,500 units
The total cost of goods available for sale is $215,625
The cost of goods sold would then be the costs of goods available for sale less the value of closing stock of inventory
The common stock of Sweet Treats is selling for $45.65 per share. The company is expected to have an annual dividend increase of 2.6 percent indefinitely and pay a dividend of $3.30 in one year. What is the total return on this stock
Answer:
9.83%
Explanation:
The computation of the total return on the stock is shown below:
As we know that
Share price = Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
$45.65 = $3.30 ÷ (Required rate of return - 2.6%)
Let us assume the required rate of return be X
So,
$45.65 × X - 1.1869 = $3.30
$45.65 × X = $3.30 + $1.1869
So, the X is 9.83%
Hence, the total return on the stock is 9.83%
Arizona Crystal is a distributor of feldspar, amethyst and other mystically powerful types of crystals. The owner of Arizona Crystal, Geri Moonbeam, is proud to be a part of the movement that is contributing to the higher spirituality of the world. Geri buys crystals from local collectors and then ships them out to wholesalers throughout the country. Geri pays cash for the crystals, but she extends credit to the wholesalers. As the business has grown, problems have arisen. When Geri buys more crystals than she can sell, inventory increases and cash flow problems arise. When Geri doesn’t buy enough crystals, then she can’t fill orders and that creates problems with her customers. She needs to base her buying decisions on accurate forecasts of the demand for crystals so she can avoid these problems. After consulting her tarot cards, Geri visits a friend from El Paso, Texas, who channels for a Wall Street tycoon who didn’t survive the crash of 1929. He recommends that, since she only has twelve months of data, she should try using a moving average or exponential smoothing forecasting model. So Geri contacts you. She provides you with data on the number of crystals (in thousands) ordered during each of the past twelve months and asks you to help her develop a forecasting model. 8. Use a five period moving average model to forecast the demand in January of 1993. Also calculate the RMSE for this model. Use the table below to carry out your calculations. How does this model compare with the three period model? Month Demand (A) Demand (F) (A-F)2 Jan-92 25.6 Feb-92 24.7 Mar-92 21.3 Apr-92 13.9 May-92 12.6 Jun-92 18.0 Jul-92 21.5 Aug-92 22.3 Sep-92 30.7 Oct-92 15.0 Nov-92 13.8 Dec-92 22.6
Answer:
Explanation:
Month Demand (A) Demand (F) (A-F)²
Jan-92 25.6 - 0
Feb-92 24.7 - 0
Mar-92 21.3 - 0
Apr-92 13.9 - 0
May-92 12.6 19.62 49.28
Jun-92 18.0 18.1 0.01
Jul-92 21.5 17.46 16.32
Aug-92 22.3 17.66 21.53
Sep-92 30.7 21.02 93.7

Nov-92 13.8 20.66 47.06
Dec-92 22.6 20.88 29.58
The demand for january of 1993 is 20.88
RMSE² = 49.28+0.01+16.32+21.53+93.7+42.25+47.06+29.58
=299.73
[tex]=\frac{299.73}{12} \\\\= 24.98[/tex]
RMSE = √24.98
=4.99
The model has higher values of demand and RMSE than that of three month moving average model
an investment that in today's dollars returns 12% of your investment in year 1, 18% in year 2, 11% in year 3, and the remainder in year 4. Rounded to two places, what is the Duration of this investment
Answer:
3.17 years
Explanation:
We can calculate the duration of Investment by duration formula,
Duration= Sum of (PV of each cashflow x year)
PV of each cash flow can be understood as Dolar return % given in the Question.
Year1 Year2 Year3 Year4
Duration= (12% x 1) + (18% x 2) + (11% x 3) + (59% x 4)
Duration= 0.12 + 0.36 + 0.33 + 2.36
Duration= 3.17 years
Note: (100%-12%-18%-11%)59% can be calculated as the remainder of 100% after deducting each year's %.
