You put money into an account that earns a 5 percent nominal interest rate. The inflation rate is 2 percent, and your marginal tax rate is 40 percent. What is your after-tax real rate of interest
Answer: 1%
Explanation:
The Nominal interest rate has not been adjusted for inflationary effects yet and as such is considered overstated.
The Real Interest rate has been adjusted for inflation and is believed to show the actual return one receives.
Tax is calculated on the Nominal rate.
After tax Nominal Rate = 5% * ( 1 - 40%)
= 3%
Then adjust for inflation to find real rate,
= 3% - 2%
= 1%
The After-tax real rate is 1%.
A clothing manufacturer produces clothing in five locations in the United States. In a move to vertical integration, the company is planning a new fabric production plant that will supply fabric to all five clothing plants. The clothing plants have been located on a coordinate system as follows: Location (X,Y) A 7,2 B 4,7 C 5,5 D 6,2 E 8,4 If the amount of fabric shipped to each plant are equal, what is the optimal location for the fabric plant?
Answer:
(6,4)
Explanation:
The computation of optimal location for the fabric plant is shown below:-
X Y
A 7 2
B 4 7
C 5 5
D 6 2
E 8 4
Total 30 20
[tex]\bar X = \frac{Total\ of\ X}{Total\ number\ of\ locations}[/tex]
[tex]\bar X = \frac{30}{5}[/tex]
= 6
[tex]\bar Y = \frac{Total\ of\ Y}{Total\ number\ of\ locations}[/tex]
[tex]\bar Y = \frac{20}{5}[/tex]
= 4
So, the optimal location for the fabric plant is (6,4)
Smiley Corporation wholesales repair products to equipment manufacturers. On April 1, Year 1, Smiley issued $1,400,000 of 5-year, 6% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 3%, receiving cash of $1,593,666. Interest is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1.
Required:
a. Journalize the entries to record the following.
1. Issuance of bonds on April 1, Year 1.
2. First interest payment on October 1, Year 1, and amortization of bond premium for six months, using the straight-line method. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
b. Explain why the company was able to issue the bonds for $22,282,220 rather than for the face amount of $21,300,000.
Answer:
a. Journalize the entries to record the following.
1. Issuance of bonds on April 1, Year 1.
Dr Cash 1,593,666
Cr Bonds payable 1,400,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 193,666
2. First interest payment on October 1, Year 1, and amortization of bond premium for six months, using the straight-line method. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
premium per coupon = $193,666 / 10 coupons = $19,366.60
Dr Interest expense 22,633.40
Dr Premium on bonds payable 19,366.60
Cr Cash 42,000
b. Explain why the company was able to issue the bonds for $1,593,666 (not $22,282,220) rather than for the face amount of $1,400,000 (not $21,300,000).
Since the bond's coupon rate was higher than the market rate, investors were willing to pay more for the bond (premium) than its face value. At $1,593,666, the actual returns will equal the returns of a $1,400,000 bond issued at market rate.

In no case can "market" in the lower-of-cost-or-market rule be more than:_______.
a. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business.
b. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal, an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin, and an adequate reserve for possible future losses.
c. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal.
d. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal and an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin.
Answer:
b. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal, an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin, and an adequate reserve for possible future losses.
Explanation:
Note that the lower of cost market rule is explicitly encouraging businesses to record the lowest cost of inventory; for example using the original cost or its current market price, whichever is favourable.
Thus, the "market" must not be more than the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, with an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin, and an adequate reserve for possible future losses.
Torino Company has 1,300 shares of $50 par value, 6.0% cumulative and nonparticipating preferred stock and 13,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. The company paid total cash dividends of $3,500 in its first year of operation. The cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is:
Answer:
The answer is $4,300
Explanation:
Solution
We recall that:
Torino company has 1,200 shares of = $50 per value
The cumulative and nonparticipating preferred stock of = 6.0%
They also have 13,00 shares
Common stock outstanding = $10 per value
Total dividends = $3,500
Now,
The first year amount of dividend that was paid in the first year of working is stated as follows:
6% * 1300 * 50 = $3900
The paid dividend = $3,500
The amount amount payable during the second year to the common stakeholders is
=$3900 + 400 = $4,300
Note: preferred shares are cumulative, for this the amount paid to the stakeholders was $4,300
A firm expects to have net income of $5,000,000 during the next year. The company’s target capital structure is 35% debt and 65% equity. The company's director of capital budgeting has determined that the optimal capital budget for the coming year is $6,000,000. If SL Computer follows a residual distribution policy (with all distributions in the form of dividends) to determine the coming year’s dividend, then what is the firm’s expected dividend payments?
Answer:
$1,100,000
Explanation:
The firm expected to have 5,000,000 as net Income
Capital Structure; Debt=35% , Equity= 65%
$6,000,000 is determined to be the Optimal capital budget for the coming year
The firm’s expected dividend payments following a residual distribution policy is = Net Income – [Total Capital Budget x Equity Ratio]
Where Net Income =5,000,000 Total capital budget =6,000,000 Equity Ratio= 65%
Hence Total Dividend Payment = $5,000,000 – [$6,000,000 x 65%]
= $5,000,000 - $3,900,000
= $1,100,000
The firm’s expected dividend payments is = $1,100,000,
Suppose a stock had an initial price of $92 per share, paid a dividend of $2.30 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $75.50. a. Compute the percentage total return. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What was the dividend yield
Answer:
(a) Percentage return = -$14.20 ÷ $92 = -15.43%
(b) Dividend Yield = $2.30 ÷ $92 = 2.50%
Explanation:
Initial price per share= $92.00
Ending share price = $75.50
Capital loss = $75.50 - $92.00 = -$16.50
Dividend = $2.30
Net return = -$16.50 + $2.30 = -$14.20
(a) Percentage return = (-$14.20 ÷ $92) × 100% = -15.43%
(b) Dividend Yield = ($2.30 ÷ $92) × 100% = 2.50%
When a project has a "hard gate," like being ready on time, how does that affect normal success criteria? Is it fair to judge a project with a critical completion date by normal project success standards? Why or why not?
Explanation:
The issue that determines the success of a project is usually attributed to managing the scope of the project. Therefore, in some projects, the deadline for completion is not necessarily the most fundamental criterion that will incur your success.
Every project has a defined deadline for the beginning and the end, so the project management must be planned so that the time is sufficient for the execution of its tasks that will lead to the achievement of the objectives and goals.
Therefore, it is not fair to judge a project with a critical completion date, due to the fact that the project was developed and controlled so that success was related to other more important variables for such a project, not only time, but also its effectiveness , cost-benefit, quality, costs, etc.
A metal-cutting operation has a target value of 20 and consistently averages 19.8 with a standard deviation of 0.5. The design engineers have established an upper specification limit of 22 and a lower specification limit of 18. What is the process capability index? A) 1.20 B) 1.33 C) 1.46 D) 1.66 12. Following Q11, what is the process capability ratio? A) 1.33 B) 1.50 C) 1.66 D) 2.00
Answer:
process capability index = Cpl ( lower ) = 1.20 ( A )
The process capability ratio = 1.33
Explanation:
Target value = 20
mean = 19.8
standard deviation = 0.5
upper specification limit = 22
lower specification limit = 18
The process capability index =
Cpu = [tex]\frac{22- 18}{6(0.5)}[/tex] = 4 / 3 = 1.33
Cpk ( upper ) = (22 - mean ) / 3 * std
= ( 22 - 19.8 ) / ( 3 * 0.5 ) = 2.2 / 1.5 = 1.47
Cpl ( lower ) = ( mean - 18 ) / ( 3 * 0.5 ) = ( 19.8 - 18 ) / 1.5
= 1.8 / 1.5 = 1.2
hence the process capability index is Capability index with the minimum value which is Cpl ( lower ) = 1.20 ( A )
The process capability ratio = 1.33 refer to Cpu equation
An increase in savings by consumers is seen as a(n):_________.
a. decrease in investment spending in the economy increase in government spending in the economy.
b. decrease in exports in the economy.
c. increase in imports in the economy.
d. leakage in spending in the economy.

It is observed that if consumers have a rise in their wages, they tend to benefit and this helps the economic situation of the said country or nation as seen in some economies of the world lately. Also alteration in interest rates can have different consumer effects which ranges from spending habits depending on a number of factors to other habits that may end up boosting the economy also current rate levels, expected future rate changes, confidence of the consumer, and the overall health of the economy.
This year, Napa Corporation received the following dividends: KLP Inc (a taxable Delaware corporation in which Napa holds an 8% stock interest) - $55,000 Gamma Inc (a taxable Florida corporation in which Napa holds a 90% stock interest) - $120,000 Napa and Gamma do not file a consolidated tax return. Compute Napa's dividends-received deduction. Please show complete calculation.
Answer:
$147,500
Explanation:
Computation of Napa's dividends-received deduction
Napa is said to holds less than 20% stock interest in KLP Inc which means that the dividends received deduction in the case of dividends received from KLP would be 50%.
And in case of dividends received from Gamma, the dividends received deduction would be 100% reason been that KLP holds more than 80% of the stock interest in Gamma.
Hence:
Napa’s dividends-received deduction will be:
= ($55,000 x 50%) + $120,000
=$27,500 +$120,000
= $147,500
Therefore Napa's dividends-received deduction will be $147,500

Answer: Apple's need to continually innovate
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
may seem surprising that the CEO selected to replace Steve Jobs was hired from within the firm. When considering who to appoint as CEO, the board had to consider many factors. What condition existed at Apple that would have suggested a preference to hire from outside?
a. Apple's need to reverse recent poor performance
b. Appreciation of Apple's culture and core values
c. Apple's need to continually innovate

Answer:
In 2011, after the resignation of Steve Jobs resigned as the Chief Executive Officer of Apples, Tim Cook became the chairman of the board, and was named as the new chief executive officer of Apple Inc.
Steve Cook was already working with Apple and he knew the culture and core values and it'll be easier to develop be ones as he knew the firm's core competencies.
The condition that existed at Apple which would have suggested a preference for them to hire from outside will be the need to continually innovate.
The company's culture focuses on
the maintenance of a high level of innovation which involves creativity coupled with a mindset which challenges standards and conventions. In line with the innovation value, hiring from outside might have been preferable.

The Bloomington Bicycle Bearing company wishes to use a level output plan to plan for the rest of the year. Here is the forecasted demand for all bearing types: Month Demand May 800 Jun 650 July 720 August 690 Sept 530 Oct 610 Nov 630 Dec 610 If the beginning inventory is 300 units and the desired ending inventory at the end of December is 500 units, how many units will be in inventory at the end of August
Answer:
August ending Inventory 160 units
Explanation:
It wishes a level output AKAK same production over the rest of the year
total demand:
we add up the demand of the moths and our desired ending inventory
then we subtract the beginning and divide over the eight months
800 + 650 + 720 + 690 + 530 + 610 + 630 + 610 + 500 desired ending - 300 beginning = 5,440
We divide by 8 = 680 per month
Now we can do the budget up to August to solve for the ending inventory

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Explanation:
Betterton Corporation uses an activity based costing system to assign overhead costs to products. In the first stage, two overhead costs—equipment depreciation and supervisory expense-are allocated to three activity cost pools—Machining, Order Filling, and Other—based on resource consumption. Data to perform these allocations appear below:
Overhead costs:
Equipment depreciation $ 49,000
Supervisory expense $ 3,000
Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools:
Activity Cost Pools
Machining Order Filling Other
Equipment depreciation 0.50 0.30 0.20
Supervisory expense 0.10 0.40 0.50
In the second stage, Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company's two products follow:
Activity: Activity:
MHs (Machining) Orders (Order Filling)
Product A8 3,000 500
Product K2 17,000 1,500
Total 20,000 2,000
What is the overhead cost assigned to Product A8 under activity-based costing?
Answer:
$7,695
Explanation:
The computation of overhead cost assigned to Product A8 under activity-based costing is shown below:-
Overhead Amount Machining Amount Order Amount Other Amount
Filling
Equipment
Depreciation $49,000 0.5 $24,500 0.3 $14,700 0.2 $9,800
Supervisory
Expense $3,000 0.1 $300 0.4 $1,200 0.5 $1,500
Total $52,000 $24,800 $15,900 $11,300
Cost per Activity pool unit
Particulars Machining Order Filling Allocated Cost a $24,800 $15,900
Activity b 20,000 hours 2,000 order Fillings Cost per Activity pool unit 1.24 7.95
c = a ÷ b per machine Hour per order fillings
Here, in reference to Product A8
Machine Hours 3,000
Cost per Activity pool unit 1.24 per Machine Hour
Total Cost 3,720
To reach total cost we simply multiply the machine hours with cost per activity pool unit
Order Filling 500
Cost per Activity pool unit 7.95 per order fillings
Total Cost 3,975
To reach total cost we simply multiply the order filling with cost per activity pool unit
Total Overhead cost assigned to Product A8 = Total cost of machine hours + Total cost of order filling
= $3,720 + $3,975
= $7,695

Charles is a stay-at-home parent who lives in New York City and teaches tennis lessons for extra cash. At a wage of $25 per hour, he is willing to teach 6 hours per week. At $35 per hour, he is willing to teach 16 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Teresa’s labor supply between the wages of $25 and $35 per hour is approximately _________ , which means that Teresa’s supply of labor over this wage range is _________
Answer:
2.75, elastic.
Explanation:
Measure labor supply elasticity of Individual T's as follows :
[tex]\bf Elasticity=\frac{Percent \;change\;in\;labour\;hr}{\frac{Average\;labour\;hour}{\frac{Percent\;change\;in\;wage\;price}{Average\;wage\;price} } }[/tex]
[tex]\bf =\frac{16-6}{\frac{16+6}{\frac{2}{\frac{35-25}{\frac{35+25}{2} } } } }[/tex]
[tex]\bf=\frac{10}{\frac{11}{\frac{10}{30} } }[/tex]
[tex]\bf=\frac{0.91}{0.33}[/tex]
[tex]=2.75[/tex]
Therefore, the elasticity of the labour supply of Individual T's is approx. of earnings per hour. 2.75, meaning that the work supply of Person T's is elastic across this wage range
Consider the business Dave’s Doughnuts. Which of the following is a sunk cost of this business? Group of answer choices The monthly rent Dave must pay to use a building downtown The wages Dave pays to his workers who make the doughnuts The expenses that went into research and development of a new doughnut flavor The salary that Dave could be earning elsewhere if he didn’t own the business None of the above
Answer:
The expenses that went into research and development of a new doughnut flavor
Explanation:
A sunk cost is a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. It is money that has already been spent. Sunk costs are bygone and are not to be considered when deciding whether to continue an investment project.
The expenses that went into research and development of a new doughnut flavor is a sunk cost since the cost has been incurred already and cannot be recovered because it is not a relevant cost.

Cash decreases by $100,000 2. Liabilities decrease by $300,000 3. Paid-In Capital does not change 4. Dividends paid of $300,000 What is the value for Other Assets on March 31, 2020?
Answer:
The value for Other Assets on March 31, 2020 $29,000,000
Explanation:
Hopewell Corporation Balance Sheet As of December 31, 2019
Cash = $21,000,000
Other Assets = $26,000,000
Total Assets = $47,000,000
Liabilities = $20,000,000
Equity = $27,000,000
Total Liabilities & Equity = $47,000,000
Hopewell Corporation Income Statement January 1 to March 31, 2020
Revenue = $5,500,000
Expenses = $2,600,000
Net Income = $2,900,000
Between January 1 and March 31, 2020:
1. Cash decreases by $100,000
2. Liabilities decrease by $300,000
3. Paid-In Capital does not change
4. Dividends paid of $300,000
Assets
Cash = $21,000,000 - $100,000 = $20,000,000
Liabilities = $20,000,000 - $300,000 = $19,700,000
Equity = $27,000,000 + $2,600,000 - $300,000 = $29,300,000
Total Liabilities & Equity = $19,700,000 + $29,300,000 = $ 49,000,000
Other assets = $49,000,000 - $20,000,000 = $29,000,000
In a situation of neither input nor output fixed, the proper economic criterion is to _________________. A. Maximize the output B. Minimize the inputs C. Minimize (inputs - outputs) D. Maximize (outputs - inputs)
Answer:
D. Maximize (outputs - inputs)
Explanation:
The input is the raw material, labor, the efforts that is used in making the product while the output is the product or the result arising from the input
The profit arises when output and the input varies from each other
i.e
Profit = Output - input
In the case where there is neither an input nor output fixed, so we have to maximize the profit i.e (output - input) but the condition is that they are different from each other
Hence, the correct option is D.
