You are a financial advisor helping a young family create a college fund to provide for their daughter Mary’s education. Mary just turned 5. Her parents expect that she will go to Harvard University, starting school on her 18th birthday. She will only take four years to complete her degree. Currently, tuition and housing costs total $65,000 per year, which are paid at the beginning of each school year. These expenses are expected to increase at the rate of inflation which will run 4% annually for the next 25 years. In each year until Mary enters Harvard University, Mary’s parents will make a deposit into the college fund to exactly provide for all of the costs of her education when she enters college (the first deposit will be made one year from today). Since her parents expect their income to grow at the rate of 2% annually, they would like the amount that they put each year into the fund to increase in nominal terms at the rate of 2% annually. Mary’s parents can earn a rate of 10% annually on their investments and they face a 30% tax rate.
A. What do you expect tuition and housing to cost during Mary’s first year at Harvard University?
B. How much must be in the savings account on Mary’s 18th birthday after the last deposit has been made but before the first payment to Harvard University?
C. What should be the amount of the first payment?
D. Alternatively, Mary’s parents could open a 529 account that allows college savings to grow tax-free. If they saved in this account rather than in a normal investment fund, and still earned the same pre-tax return, how much should be their first deposit?

American Fabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $990,000. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool and cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 450,000 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are: cutting (cost driver is machine hours) and design (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $360,000 and $630,000 is allocated to the design cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows.
Wool Cotton Total
Machine hours 100,000 100,000 200,000
Number of setups 1,000 500 1,500
Calculate the overhead rates for activity-based costing using the traditional approach. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. $12.25.)
Overhead rates for activity-based costing
Cutting $... per machine hour
Design $... per setup

Consider two markets: the market for cat food and the market for dog food. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $1.50 , and the equilibrium quantity is 21.0 . When the price is $8.75 , the quantity supplied of cat food is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of dog food is 107.0 . For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for dog food. Please round to two decimal places.

Contracts are typically private agreements in that they bind the two parties and no one else. Thus, parties not in privity of contract usually do not have rights to a contract. However, there are exceptions to the general rule. This activity outlines the importance of paying special attention to ramifications that result from assigning or delegating a contract, including the effects these actions have on assignees. Read the case and then answer the questions to create a strategy for how someone might determine the results of the scenario. Katerina owned property in Miami right on the beach that she leased to Scotty. Scotty used the property for business purposes, which was allowed under the lease. Three months into the lease, Scotty transferred his lease to a sports agent company for $5,000, which became the new tenant under the lease. Katerina became upset with Scotty's transferring of the lease because she thought that since she leased the property to Scotty, he should not be allowed to let anyone else lease the property. Furthermore, she had a strong aversion to sports agents after watching the movie Jerry Maguire, and she did not want any money-grubbing sports agents working on her property. Subsequently, Katerina wonders whether there is any way she can limit the ability of Scotty to transfer the lease. Walk through the different types of transferring of rights and duties. What type of transfer of rights or duties is described in this case

A free market is one where decisions regarding what and how much to produce are made by the market itself. This market is made up of buyers and sellers negotiating prices for goods and services. It is generally accepted that there are four degrees of competition within a free-market system. These include perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly. One benefit of the free market is that it allows open competition among companies. Businesses must provide customers with high-quality products at fair prices with good service. If they don't, they lose customers to businesses that do. Select the degree of competition that best describes each listed industry or business based on the description. 1. Automotive Industry: In this industry, there are a few sellers that tend to dominate the market.
