Answer:
Those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance.
Explanation:
In Insurance, risk tolerance refers to the willingness of an individual or organization to take a risk in business transactions in order to get a potentially positive reward.
Simply stated, risk tolerance in insurance is the willingness of an insured individual to increase his or her Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs) or deductibles by the insurer. For instance, the high risk associated with investments such as stocks, high-yield bonds, is often perceived by investors to be worth the higher reward such investment brings.
Insurance companies facilitate the transfer of risk from those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance. The transfer of risk in insurance refers to the process whereby an individual or entity pay premiums to an insurer for the purpose of mitigating potential losses or liabilities.
Generally, insurance companies across the globe charge millions of their customers (insured) premiums every year. This gives them the privilege of having a pool of cash which can be used to cover the cost of losses and destruction to the asset of a small fraction or percentage of its customers.
This simply means that, since insurance companies collect premium from all of their customers for losses which may or may not occur, so they can easily use this cash to compensate or indemnify for losses incurred by those having high risk.

Abe and Bea each have some money to invest in a CD (Certificate of Deposit). Abe has $5,000 and Bea has $20,000. Both are interested in making a 6-month investment at Synchrony Bank. The CD rates for Synchrony Bank (as of July 8, 2015) are as listed below. With 0.41% interest, Abe would get $5,010 in six months. With 0.50% interest, Bea would get $20,050 at the end of six months. If they pool their funds, they will be able to purchase a $25,000 CD, which pays a higher interest rate. The 0.60% interest will return $25,075 at the end of six months. Obviously, Abe gets back his $5,000 principle, and Bea gets back her $20,000 principle. How should the $75 interest be divided between the two of them
Answer:
Abe = $17.5
Bae = $57.5
Explanation:
Abe's principle = $5,000
Bea's principle = $ 20,000
Abe individual investment yield at 0.41% = (5010-5000) = $10
Bae's individual investment yield at ) 0.50%= (20000-20050) $50
Combined investment yield at 6 % = (25,075 - (20,000+5000) = $75
Extra interest yield = (75-(50+10) = $15
The extra interest yield of $15 should be shared equally among Abe and Bae as a result of joint effort
= 15/2 - $7.5
Therefore , the $75 interest is shared as below
Abe = $10 (interest on individual principle)+$7.5 = $17.5
Bae = $50 (interest on individual principle)+$7.5 = $57.5
Consider a country where all money is currently held as cash and the money supply has a value of $2,200. A banking system is developed, and the residents of the country deposlt the $2,200 of cash into the banking system and decide they no longer want to hold any cash. If the reserve ratio is equal to 4%, then the banking system has the ability to create $_________ money supply in the economy will be equal to $__________
Answer: the banking system has the ability to create $52,800 of new money and the money supply in the economy will be equal to $55,000
Explanation:
To find out how much new money was created or rather how much can be created you can use the Money Multiplier. The money multiplier enables one to see how much money can be created in an economy given a certain reserve ratio.
The Money Multiplier is calculated by,
= 1/reserve requirement
Multiplying the Money Multiplier with the initial deposit in the bank gives the amount that that deposit can create.
With a Reserve Requirement of 4%, the Money Multiplier is,
= 1/4%
= 25
The Amount of money created in the economy is therefore,
= 25 * 2,200
= $55,000
The amount of New Money created will be the amount created less the initial deposit,
= 55,000 - 2,200
= $52,800

The 6.3 percent, semi-annual coupon bonds of PE Engineers mature in 13 years and have a price quote of 99.2. These bonds have a current yield of ________ percent, a yield to maturity of ________ percent, and an effective annual yield of ________ percent.
Answer:
Current yield is 6.35%
YTM is 6.40%
Effective annual yield is 6.50%
Explanation:
Current yield =coupon amount/price=6.3%*$1000/$1000*99.2%=6.35%
Yield to maturity can be computed using excel rate formula as below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of coupon payments of the bond which is 13*2
pmt is the annual coupon=6.3%*$1000=$63/2=$31.5
pv is the current price=99.2%*$1000=$992
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(13*2,31.5,-992,1000)=3.20%
Semiannual yield =3.20%
annual yield=3.20%*2=6.40%
effective annual yield=(1+YTM/2)^2-1
effective annual yield=(1+6.40%/2)^2-1=6.50%

The steps in the accounting cycle are:
a) Analyzing each transaction from source documents, e.g. from Sales Invoice. This shows the accounts affected and even the effect of the transaction on the accounting equation.
b) Journal Entries: This involves using the doubt entry system of accounting to record transactions in the general journal. This is the first accounting record. It shows the accounts to be debited and the ones to be credited in the General Ledger.
c) General Ledger: Each transaction is posted to their respective accounts in the ledger, depending on journal entries. Usually, two accounts are affected by each transaction, just like in the journal.
d) The fourth step is the extraction of a Trial Balance. This is an accounting tool for checking that the first three steps have been completely and correctly followed.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Campbell Soup Company's marketing?
Answer:
For one - their social media presance for a large corporation is really lacking. A company as well known as Campbell should be current in social media, they have not posted to in over a month.
They rely to heavily on the fact that they are the oldest name in the soup business and I feel like they are a little lazy when it comes to their marketing with other compitors on their heels.

Jackson has the choice to invest in city of Mitchell bonds or Sundial, Inc. corporate bonds that pay 5.6 percent interest. Jackson is a single taxpayer who earns $47,500 annually. Assume that the city of Mitchell bonds and the Sundial, Inc. bonds have similar risk. What interest rate would the city of Mitchell have to pay in order to make Jackson indifferent between investing in the city of Mitchell and the Sundial, Inc. bonds for 2019
Answer: 4.37%
Explanation:
As interest is tax deductible, the Sundial Interest needs to be adjusted for tax to find out the true return.
Jackson as a single tax payer earning $47,500 in 2019 has a tax rate of 22% according to the IRS Tax bracket for that year.
That means that the interest that true interest that Sundial is offering him is,
= 5.6 * ( 1 - tax rate)
= 5.6 * ( 1 - 0.22)
= 5.6 * 0.78
= 0.04368
= 4.37%
To make Jackson indifferent with the same amount of risk, the city of Mitchell would have to offer him the same interest that Sundial is offering net of tax which is 4.37%.

Precious Metal Mining has $17 million in sales, its ROE is 13%, and its total assets turnover is 4x. Common equity on the firm’s balance sheet is 55% of its total assets. What is its net income? Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate steps.
Answer:
net income = $303,875
Explanation:
total sales $17 million
return on equity (ROE) = 13% = net income / stockholders' equity
asset turnover = 4 = total sales / average total assets
common equity = 55% of assets
first we must determine average total assets:
average total assets = total sales / 4 = $17 million / 4 = $4.25 million
common equity = 55% x total assets = 55% x $4.25 million = $2,337,500
ROE = 13% = net income / $2,337,500
net income = 13% x $2,337,500 = $303,875

Your grandmother asks for your help in choosing a certificate of deposit (CD) from a bank with a one-year maturity and a fixed interest rate. The first certificate of deposit, CD #1, pays 1.95 percent APR compounded monthly, while the second certificate of deposit, CD #2, pays 2.00 percent APR compounded weekly. What is the effective annual rate (the EAR) of each CD, and which CD do you recommend to your grandmother?
Answer:
1.97% and 2.01%
Explanation:
The computation of the effective annual rate is shown below:-
Effective annual rate = (1 + Annual percentage rate ÷ n)^n -1
For CD 1
= (1 + 0.0195 ÷ 12)^12 - 1
= (1 + 0.001625 )^12 - 1
= (1.001625 )^12 - 1
= 1.97%
For CD 2
= (1 + 0.02 ÷ 2)^2 - 1
= (1 + 0.01 )^2 - 1
= (1.01)^2 - 1
= 2.01%
CD 2 will recommend to the grandmother
If the price of chocolate-covered peanuts decreases from $1.15 to $0.90, the quantity demanded does not change, and other things are unchanged, the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand, using the midpoint method, is:
Answer:
price-elasticity = 0
Explanation:
The formula for mid-point elasticity will be as follows:
[tex]\frac{q_1-q_2}{\frac{q_1+q_2}{2}} \div\frac{p_1-p_2}{\frac{p_1+p_2}{2}}[/tex]
Now, as quantity did not change we get:
q1 = q2
thus q1 + q2 = 2q1
and q1 - q2 = 0
[tex]\frac{0}{\frac{2q_1}{2}} \div\frac{1.15-0.90}{\frac{1.15+0.90}{2}}[/tex]
As we are getting a zero the end result will be zero which makes complete sense as there was no change in quantity the demand is completely inelastic.

A local government awards a landscaping company a contract worth $1.5 million per year for five years for maintaining public parks. The landscaping company will need to buy some new machinery before they can take on the contract. If the cost of capital is 6%, what is the most that this equipment could cost if the contract is to be worthwhile for the landscaping company
Answer:
The equipment should not cost more than $6,318,545.68
Explanation:
The most that the land scrapping equipment could cost is the present of the 1.5 million annuity discounted at 6% p.a.
Present Value of Annuity = A × ( 1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- 1,500,000, n- 5, r- 6%
=1, 500,000 × ((1.06)^(-5))/0.06
= $6,318,545.68
The equipment should not cost more than $6,318,545.68
The following information is available for Marigold Corp.: Allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2019 $23000 Credit sales during 2020 1250000 Accounts receivable deemed worthless and written off during 2020 26800 As a result of a review and aging of accounts receivable in early January 2021, it has been determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $16700 is needed at December 31, 2020. What amount should Marigold record as "bad debt expense" for the year ended December 31, 2020?
Answer: $20500
Explanation:
Bad debt is the amount of money that a credit owes the company and is not willing to be paid hence may not be collected.
The amount that Marigold should record as "bad debt expense" for the year ended December 31, 2020 goes thus:
Bad debt allowance balance needed =
$16700
Add: Bad debt that are written off = $26800
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts = $23000
Bad debt expense will now be:
= $16700 + $26800 - $23,000
= $43500 - $23000
= $20500

The Net Income for the year is usually credited to the Capital Account on the last day of the year as Retained Earnings for the year.
The only amount credited to the capital account in the above question is the $15,000 that came in on the 12th of December so it must be the Net Income for the period.
Problem 15-12 Below is a list of prices for zero-coupon bonds of various maturities. Maturity (Years) Price of $1,000 Par Bond (Zero-Coupon) 1 $ 974.85 2 882.39 3 847.70 a. A 5.6% coupon $1,000 par bond pays an annual coupon and will mature in 3 years. What should the yield to maturity on the bond be? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. If at the end of the first year the yield curve flattens out at 6.5%, what will be the 1-year holding-period return on the coupon bond? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. 5.63%
b. 5.72%
Explanation:
to calculate YTM of zero coupon bonds:
YTM = [(face value / market value)¹/ⁿ] - 1
YTM₁ = [(1,000 / 974.85)¹/ⁿ] - 1 = 2.58%YTM₂ = [(1,000 / 882.39)¹/ⁿ] - 1 = 6.46%YTM₃ = [(1,000 / 847.70)¹/ⁿ] - 1 = 5.66%a. A 5.6% coupon $1,000 par bond pays an annual coupon and will mature in 3 years. What should the yield to maturity on the bond be?
the bond's current market price:
$1,000 / 1.0566³ = $847.75$56/1.0258 + 56/1.0646² + 56/1.0566³ = $54.59 + $49.41 + $47.47 = $151.47current market price = $999.22YTM = [C + (FV - PV)/n] / [(FV + PV)/2] = [56 + (1,000 - 999.22)/3] / [(1,000 + 999.22)/2] = (56 + 0.26) / 999.61 = 5.63%
b. If at the end of the first year the yield curve flattens out at 6.5%, what will be the 1-year holding-period return on the coupon bond?
the bond's current market price:
$1,000 / 1.065³ = $827.85$56/1.0258 + 56/1.065² + 56/1.065³ = $54.59 + $49.37 + $46.36 = $150.32current market price = $978.17you invest $978.17 in purchasing the bond and you receive a coupon of $56, holding period return = $56 / $978.17 = 5.72%
A steel company manufactures heavy-duty brackets for the shelving industry. The company has budgeted for the production and sale of 1,000,000 brackets and has no beginning or ending inventory. Relevant operational, revenue, and cost data is as follows: Unit selling price of a bracket $22.50 Direct material required per unit 4 pounds Direct labor required per unit 0.15 hours Cost of material per pound $1.75 Direct labor cost per hour $9.00 Total variable selling costs $2,250,000 Total fixed costs $1,500,000 Based on the data provided, what is the unit contribution margin per bracket
Answer:
Contribution margin per unit = $11.90
Explanation:
Given:
Total unit sale = 1,000,000
Unit selling price of a bracket = $22.50
Direct material required = 4 pounds per unit
Direct labor required = 0.15 hours per unit
Cost of material per pound = $1.75
Direct labor cost per hour = $9.00
Total variable selling cost = $2,250,000
Find:
Contribution margin per unit = ?
Computation:
Direct material per unit = 4 pounds per unit × $1.75
Direct material per unit = $7
Direct labor per unit = 0.15 hours per unit × $9.00
Direct labor per unit = $1.35
Variable selling cost per unit = Total variable selling cost / Total unit sale
Variable selling cost per unit = $2,250,000 / 1,000,000
Variable selling cost per unit = $2.25
Contribution margin per unit = Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution margin per unit = Sales per unit - [Direct material per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable selling cost per unit]
Contribution margin per unit = $22.50 - [$7 - $1.35 - $2.25]
Contribution margin per unit = $22.50 - [$10.6]
Contribution margin per unit = $11.90
Levine, Inc., has an ROA of 8.6 percent and a payout ratio of 33 percent.
What is its internal growth rate?
Answer:
Explanation:
Workings
Internal growth rate is the highest possible growth attained by a business without obtaining outside funding but with its retained earning.
Given information
ROA = 8.6%
Percentage Payout ratio = 33%
Internal growth rate = (ROA * Retention ratio) / 1 - (ROA * Retention ratio)
Retention ratio is the percentage earning that is no paid out in dividends
To calculate the retention ratio , we use the formula
Retention ratio = (1-percentage pay out ratio)
= 1 - 0.33 = 0.67
Substituting retention ratio for 0.67 in the inter growth rate formula
Therefore
Internal growth rate = (0.086*0.67)/1-(0.086*0.67)
0.05762/(1-0.05762) = 0.05762/0.94238
=0.0611
= 6.11%

Your grandparents would like to establish a trust fund that will pay you and your heirs $130,000 per year forever with the first payment one year from today. If the trust fund earns an annual return of 2.5 percent, how much must your grandparents deposit today
Answer:
My grandparents deposit $5200000 today.
Explanation:
The annual return earned by trust fund = $2.5 percent
It is given that the trust will pay annually a certain amount for infinite period so annual pay = $130000 per year.
Now we have to calculate the invested or deposited amount by grandparents today.
The present value of future constant annual payment over infinite period = (P/A, i%, n = infinity) or 1 / i%
The amount that should be deposited today :
[tex]= 130000 \times \frac{1}{2.5 \ percent} \\= 5200000[/tex]
