Answer:
D. charging more for electricity on hot days.
Explanation:
This is a strategy that helps service providers in billing their customers when their in traffic on the usage of a particular service. This is charging higher of a certain service when their are a lot of users trying to be benefit or trying to use it at the same time. This can easily be seen in the case of utility usage amongst countries where this forms of billings are performed. That is why in the scenario above, the charging more for electricity on a hot day falls in place as the perfect option of peakminus loading price.
Answer:
D. charging more for electricity on hot days
Explanation:
Peak load pricing is charging more for a good or service when the demand for the good is higher.
During the hot weather, people would want to use fans and air conditioners, thus, the demand for electricity would be higher as people would need electricity to power these items. So increasing the price in the hurt weather is an example of peak load pricing.

Laser World reports net income of $620,000. Depreciation expense is $47,000, accounts receivable increases $11,000, and accounts payable decreases $27,000. Calculate net cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. (List cash outflows and any decrease in cash as negative amounts.)
Answer:
$629,000
Explanation:
The net cash flow from operating activities is the net income plus depreciation, minus the increase in accounts receivable as well as the decrease in accounts payable.
Net income is $620,000
depreciaton expense $47,000
Increase in accounts receivable ($11,000)
decrease in accounts payable ($27,000)
Net cash flow from operations $629,000
The increase in accounts receivable denies the business of additional cash,hence it is deducted ,the same applies to increase in accounts payable
Portman Industries just paid a dividend of $1.68 per share. The company expects the coming year to be very profitable, and its dividend is expected to grow by 20.00% over the next year. After the next year, though, Portman's dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.00% per year The risk-free rate (Rr) is 5.00%, the market risk premium (RPM) is 6.00%, and Portman's beta is 0.90 Term Value Dividends one year from now (Di Horizon value (P1) Intrinsic value of Portman's stock Assuming that the market is in equilibrium, use the information just given to complete the table What is the expected dividend yield for Portman's stock today? a. 6.15% b. 5.12% c. 6.79% d. 6.40% Now let's apply the results of your calculations to the following situation: Portman has 500,000 shares outstanding, and Judy Davis, an investor, holds 7,500 shares at the current price (computed above). Suppose Portman is considering issuing 62,500 new shares at a price of $26.78 per share. If the new shares are sold to outside investors, by how much will Judy's investment in Portman Industries be diluted on a per-share basis? a. $0.52 per share b. $0.44 per share c. $0.64 per share d. $1.09 per share Thus, Judy's investment will be diluted, and Judy will experience a total:_____.
Answer:
What is the expected dividend yield for Portman's stock today?
d. 6.40%
Suppose Portman is considering issuing 62,500 new shares at a price of $26.78 per share. If the new shares are sold to outside investors, by how much will Judy's investment in Portman Industries be diluted on a per-share basis?
a. $0.52 per share
Thus, Judy's investment will be diluted, and Judy will experience a total loss of $0.52 x 7,500 = $3,900
Explanation:
cost of equity = Re = risk free rate of return + (Beta × market premium) = 5% + (0.90 x 6%) = 10.4%
dividend in one year = $1.68 x 120% = $2.016
intrinsic stock price = $2.016 / (10.4% - 4%) = $31.50
expected dividend yield = dividend / stock price = $2.016 / $31.50 = 6.4%
Judy's loss per share = ($31.50 - $26.78) x (62,500 / 562,500) = $0.5244
At a lump-sum cost of $72000, Sunland Company recently purchased the following items for resale: Item No. of Items Purchased Resale Price Per Unit M 4600 $4.05 N 2300 12.60 O 6600 6.60 The appropriate cost per unit of inventory is: M N O $3.63 $11.28 $5.91 $3.20 $9.95 $5.21 $5.33 $5.33 $5.33 $4.05 $12.60 $6.60
Answer:
M = $3.20
N = $9.95
O = $5.21
I believe it is the second option.
Explanation:
Item No. of Items Purchased Resale Price Per Unit
M 4,600 $4.05
N 2,300 $12.60
O 6,600 $6.60
total resale price:
M = 4,600 x $4.05 = $18,630N = 2,300 x $12.60 = $28,980O = 6,600 x $6.60 = $43,560total = $91,170markup % = ($91,170 - $72,000) / $72,000 = 26.625%
purchase cost per unit:
M = $4.05 / ( 1 + 26.625%) = $3.20N = $12.60 / ( 1 + 26.625%) = $9.95O = $6.60 / ( 1 + 26.625%) = $5.21The price of a European call option on a stock with a strike price of $50 is $6. The stock price is $51, the continuously compounded risk-free rate (all maturities) is 6% and the time to maturity is one year. A dividend of $1 is expected in six months. What is the price of a one-year European put option on the stock with a strike price of $50?
Answer:
$3.06
Explanation:
The put call parity shows the relationship between the price of European put options and European call options of the same strike price and expiry date.
Given that:
Strike price (K) = $50
Price (C) = $6
rate (r) = 6% = 0.06
Stock price (SO) = $51
Time (T) = 1 year
Dividend (D) = $1
The period of dividend (t) = 6 months = 0.5 years
The put call parity (P) is given by the equation:
[tex]P+SO=C+Ke^{-rT}\\P=C+Ke^{-rT}-SO[/tex]
The dividend present value = [tex]De^{-rt}=1e^{-0.06*0.5}=\$0.97[/tex]
[tex]P=C+Ke^{-rT}-SO\\P=6+50e^{-0.06*1}-(51-0.97)\\P=6+47.088-50.03\\P=\$3.06[/tex]

$
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the amount invested in:
Automobile loans be Xa,
Furniture Loans be Xf,
Other Secured Loans be Xo,
Signature loans be Xs, &;
Risk-free loans be Xr
In reference on the Annual returns rate given;
Total annual returns = 8%×Xa + 10%×Xf + 11%×Xo + 12%×Xs + 9%×Xr
The various constraints given can be written as follows:
Xa + Xf + Xo + Xs + Xr = 1,600,000-----Constraint for amount available for investment
Xr = 30%*1,600,000 ----- Constraint for maximum risk free investment
Xs = 10%*(Xa + Xf + Xo + Xs) ----- Constraint for maximum amount in signature loans
Xf + Xo = Xa ------- Constraint for Furniture and other secured loans
Xo + Xs = Xr ------ Constraint for other secured loans and signature loans
Using the Excel Formula for solving this;
we have the following result.
Automobile Loans $ 504,000
Furniture Loans $ 136,000
Other Secured Loans $ 368,000
Signature Loans $ 112,000
Risk-Free Loans $ 480,000
The projected total annual return = $ 151,040

Barbara owns a manufacturing plant with four facilities (North, South, East, and West) in the state of Indiana. The workers at one of those facilities, North, have just decided to join a union. The union negotiates with Barbara and receives average wages that are 5% higher than the workers at the South, East, and West facilities. This wage differential is a likely example of:
Answer:
Union power
Explanation:
The difference in wages is as a result of Union power because the North now belongs to a labor union that protects their interest. A labor union is an organization that plays the role of an intermediary between their members and their employers. The workers in the North through the union are able to negotiate for better wages. Through collective bargaining, the union gives workers In the North the power to request for better work pay than workers in the east, West and South facilities.
Betty contributed land with a $6,000 basis and a $10,000 FMV to the ABC Partnership in Year 1. In Year 2, the land was distributed to Sally, another partner in the partnership. At the time of the distribution, the land had a $12,000 fair market value, and Sally had a $30,000 basis for her partnership interest. What gain is recognized by Betty on the distribution? What is Sally’s basis for the distributed land?
Answer:
a. Gain recognized by Betty on the distribution is $4,000.
b. Sally’s basis for the distributed land is therefore $10,000.
Explanation:
a. What gain is recognized by Betty on the distribution?
When an asset contributed by a partner to a partnership is distributed, the gain or loss to be recognized by the partner that contributed the asset is the difference between the fair market value (FMV) and the basis of the asset. Therefore, we have:
Gain recognized by Betty = FMV of the land - Basis of the land = $10,000 - $6,000 = $4,000
b. What is Sally’s basis for the distributed land?
When an asset of partnership is distributed to another partner in a partnership, the partner's basis for the distributed asset is the FMV of the distributed asset.
Since the FMV of the land contributed by Bettt but now distributed to Sally is $10,000, Sally’s basis for the distributed land is therefore $10,000.

Federal Semiconductors issued 11% bonds, dated January 1, with a face amount of $830 million on January 1, 2021. The bonds sold for $767,557,868 and mature on December 31, 2040 (20 years). For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield was 12%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Federal determines interest at the effective rate. Federal elected the option to report these bonds at their fair value. On December 31, 2021, the fair value of the bonds was $750 million as determined by their market value in the over-the-counter market. Assume the fair value of the bonds on December 31, 2022 had risen to $756 million.Required: Complete the below table to record the following journal entries. 1. & 2. Prepare the journal entry to adjust the bonds to their fair value for presentation in the December 31, 2018, balance sheet, and adjust the bonds to their fair value for presentation in the December 31, 2019, balance sheet. Federal determined that one-half of the increase in fair value was due to a decline in general interest rates.

other comprehensive income 4.739.000 debit
discount on bonds payable 4.739.000 credit
--to adjust Bonds at 12/31/2022 market value --
Explanation:
We solve for the book value at year-end using effective rate
First year:
First payment
830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000
767,557,868 x 6.0% = 46,053,472.08
Amortization 403,472.08
Second Payment
830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000
(767,557,868 + 403,472.08) x 6.0% = 46,077,680.4
Amortization 427680.4
Carrying value at year-end
767,557,868 + 403,472.08 + 427,680.40 = 768,389,020.48
We need to recognize a deferred gain for the difference between these and the 750,000,000 market value at December 31th
which is $ 18,383,020.48 as these as not been realized it will be part of other comprehensive income
We will increase the discount to adjust the bonds payable account net balance.
Second year:
We repeat the process
First Payment:
830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000
Interest expense 750,000,000 x 6% = 45,000,000
Amortization 650000
Carrying value 750,000,000 + 650,000 = 750,650,000
Second Payment:
830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000
750,650,000 x 6% = 45,039,000
Amortization 611000
Carrying Value 750,650,000 + 611,000 = 751,261,000
Wer now compare this with the 756,000,000
as now the debt of the company has increased we are going to decrease the discounttand recognize a deferred loss through other comprehensive income as it wasn't realized
756,000,000 - 751,261,000 = 4.739.000
The Work in Process Inventory account of a manufacturing company has a $7,728 debit balance. The company applies overhead using direct labor cost. The cost sheet of the only job still in process shows direct material cost of $2,800 and direct labor cost of $1,600. Therefore, the company's predetermined overhead rate is:
Answer:
The company's predetermined overhead rate is 208%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the company's predetermined overhead rate we would have to calculate first the Overhead applied as follows:
o verhead applied=Work in process balance-Direct Material-Direct Labor
o verhead applied=$7,728-$2,800-$1,600
o verhead applied=$3,328
Therefore, Overhead application rate = $3,328/$1,600= 217%
Overhead application rate =208%
The company's predetermined overhead rate is 208%
Answer:
208%
Explanation:
Work In Progress= Direct materials + Direct labor+ Over Head
$7,728 = $2,800 + $1,600 + OH
$7,728=$4,400
$7,728-$4,400
OH=$3,328
OH rate = $3,328/$1,600
= 208%

$2Growth rates
5 %Rates of return
12% Return on Investment
Formular for the calculation of current price of the stock = D1/(r-g)
Where:
D1=2%
r=12%
g=6%
Hence:
2/ (0.12-0.05)= $ 33.33
=2/0.07
=$28.57
Therefore the amount I should be prepared to pay for the stock today will be $28.57

A building is acquired on January 1, at a cost of $960,000 with an estimated useful life of 10 years and salvage value of $86,400. Compute depreciation expense for the first three years using the double-declining-balance method. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Year 1 - $192,000
Year 2 - = $153,600
Year 3 - $122,880
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 x (1/10) = 0.2
Depreciation expense in the first year = 0.2 x $960,000 = $192,000
Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $960,000 - $192,000 = $768,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.2 x $768,000 = $153,600
Book value in year 3 = $768,000 - $153,600 = $614,400
Depreciation expense in year 3 = 0.2 x $614,400 = $122,880

In contrast to a differentiator, a cost-leader will:
a. focus its research and development on process technologies to improve efficiency.
b. charge a premium price for its products and services.
c. avoid an organizational structure that relies on strict budget controls.
d. build an organizational culture where creativity and customer responsiveness thrive.
Answer: a. focus its research and development on process technologies to improve efficiency.
Explanation:
A Cost Leadership strategy entails reducing the costs associated with production to the point that you are the most efficient producer in the industry. By reducing cost, the company is able to see higher profitability margins and could be able to lower sales prices thereby capturing greater market share.
The Cost Leader will therefore focus on coming up with ways with which it can keep costs at a minimum because it is important to their mode of operations.
A Differentiator on the other hand aims to increase market share by creating a product that people will see as different and will buy due to the added value. They will focus more on supporting creativity to make better products as well as customer responsiveness to see what it is that the customers like so that they can offer it.

With ordinary rate, the less statutory deduction is = 1050
The taxable income that is subject to his parent's rate = 2400
The tax with ordinary rate = (1050 * 10%) =105
The Tax with parent's rate is = (2400 * 12%) = 288
Hence,
The tax on Stan's income would be = 105 + 288 = $393

With locations around the country, each center consists of a manager and several tutor and counselors. The counselors and tutor have a great deal of flexibility to design programs specifically for individual students. In fact, these first-line employees are considered to be the key people in the organization, and the manager's main function is to assist these employees in matters such as scheduling and securing necessary materials. This type of arrangement suggests that School Days is an inverted organization.A. TrueB. False
Answer:
1. False
2. False
3. d. centralizing its decision making to better control its total quality management program
4. a.
5. True
Explanation:
1. Remember, a skimming strategy does the opposite–where a company chooses the highest possible price not the lowest price for their product when entering the market.
2. Indeed, this has impacted on production techniques in recent years. For example, from labour intensive car factories in the past we now have fully automated car factories that require very few workforce.
3. Remember, centralization results when there are fewer people in the line of authority. Therefore, if Brights Electronics decision to reorganize and significantly trim its middle management would result in centralized decision making and a better control its total quality management program.
4. Note that the promotional mix involves target based marketing, therefore each target market may have unique characteristics. And to attract each target market would involve establishing a promotional strategy that can reach multiple targets rather than developing a separate promotion mix for each target group.
5. An inverted organization is one that has a reversal from the normal line of authority found in most organization. Instead of top to bottom it now bottom to top. This implies that the manager who normally would play major role in deciding strategies to be taken doesn't, but the bottom line employees performs that responsibility. Thus, School Days Center can be rightly called an inverted organization.

Assume that the economy has three types of people. 20% are fad followers, 75% are passive investors and 5% are informed traders. The portfolio consisting of all informed traders has a beta of 1.4 and an expected return of 12.4%. The market has an expected return of 10% and the risk-free rate is 4%. The expected return for the fad follower's portfolio is closest to:__________.
a. 11.5%
b. 13.6%
c. 16%
d. 12.4%
Answer: a. 11.5%
Explanation:
Fad followers are those investors who follow a trend when it emerges and as such their betas will be less than that of informed traders because the informed traders would have acted first.
Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate expected return.
Er = Rf + b( Rm - Rf)
Er = Expected return
Rf = Risk Free Rate
b = Beta
Rm = Market Return.
The Expected Return for the Informed Investors is,
= 4% + 1.4 ( 10% - 4%)
= 4% + 1.4 ( 6%)
= 12.4%
With the Fad followed expected to have a lower beta and therefore a lower expected return than the Informed Investors, the only suitable option is the 11.5%.
Insurance companies facilitate the transfer of risk from Multiple Choice those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance. insurance policyholders to the government. those who have a high-risk tolerance to those with low risk-tolerance. the insurance companies' owners to the insurance policyholders.
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.
Hahn Flooring Company uses a perpetual inventory system.
A. Sales returns of $97,650 and merchandise returns of $48,100 are estimated for the current year's sales.
B. The inventory account has a balance of $673,400, while physical inventory indicates that $663,800 of merchandise is on hand.
Journalize the December 31 adjusting entries based on the above transactions. Assume that the inventory shrinkage is a normal amount. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles.
Answer and Explanation:
The adjusting journal entries are as follows
1. Sales $97,650
To Customer refunds payable $97,650
(Being the sales return is recorded)
For recording this we debited the sales as it reduced the sales and credited the customer refund payable as it increased the liabilities
2. Estimated Returns inventory $48,100
To Cost of goods sold $48,100
(Being the merchandise return is recorded)
For recording this we debited the estimated returns inventory and credited the cost of goods sold
3. Cost of goods sold $9,600
To Inventory $9,600
(Being the inventory shrinkage is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cost of goods sold as it increased the expenses and credited the inventory as it reduced the assets
The computation is shown below:
= Balance of inventory account - physical inventory merchandise on hand
= $673,400 - $663,800
= $9,600
Henry Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the company estimated the machine-hours for the upcoming year at 20,000 machine-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $9 per machine-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $600,000. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:__________
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $39 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated machine-hours= 20,000
The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $9 per machine-hour.
The estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $600,000.
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (600,000/20,000) + 9
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $39 per machine hour
Which of the following comes closest to the value at the end of year 6 of investing $600 today (year 0) and then investing another $600 at the end of year 5 if the interest rate is 3%?
a. $ 1,434
b. $ 1,334
c. $ 1,542
d. $ 1,383
e. $ 1,487
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Investment= $600 today and $600 at the end of year 5
Interest rate= 3%
To calculate the final value, we need to apply the following formula on each investment:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 600*(1.03^6)= $716.43
FV= 600*(1.03^1)= $618
Total FV= $1,334.43
Martin wants to provide money in his will for an annual bequest to whichever of his living relatives is oldest. That bequest will provide $ 9 comma 000 in the first year, and will grow by 7 % per year, forever. If the interest rate is 10 %, how much must Martin provide to fund this bequest?
Answer:
$300,00
Explanation:
In a situation where the interest rate is said to be 10% the amount that Martin must provide in order to fund this bequest will therefore be:
Bequest first year $9,000/(Interest rate 10%-
Increase of 7 % per year)
Hence:
$9,000/0.03
=$300,000
Therefore $300,00 will be provided to fund the bequest
