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%

Common stocks typically have which of the following that bonds do NOT have?
I. Voting rights
II. Fixed cash flows
III. Set maturity date
IV. Tax deductibility of cash flows to investors
a) i only
b) i,ii and iv only
c) ii,iii and iv only
d) iv only
e) i, ii,iii and iv
Answer:
The correct option is A, i only
Explanation:
The voting right attached to common stock means that common stockholders being the original owners of the company have the right to attend the company annual general meetings and vote on issues concerning the efficient running of the company as well as election of board of directors.
Fixed cash flows of annual or semiannual coupon interest, set maturity date including the tax deductibility of cash flows to investors are all features of bonds.
When a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, the money supply rises by more than $1. The amount of extra money created when the central bank increases bank reserves by $1 is called the money multiplier.
a. The money multiplier is generally greater than 1 because:
1. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar bill is spent more than once (velocity is larger than 1), thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. in a 100 percent reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves supports exactly one hundred dollars of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by $100.
4. when a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, deposits are automatically increased by $1 as well, thereby increasing the money supply by $2.
The money multiplier is equal to 1 when:
1. reserves < deposits.
2. reserves > deposits.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. The initial money supply is $1,500, of which $700 is currency held by the public. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. Calculate the increase in the money supply associated with increases in bank reserves of $10. What is the money multiplier in this economy? Assume that individuals do not change their currency holdings.
c. A general rule for calculating the money multiplier is:
1. 1/(deposit ratio-desired reserve).
2. 1/deposit ratio.
3. 1/desired reserve.
4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. Suppose the Fed wanted to reduce the money multiplier, perhaps because it believes that change would give it more precise control over the money supply. In order to achieve its goal, the Fed would:
1. decrease the ratio of reserves to deposits.
2. increase reserve requirements.
3. increase the money supply.
4. decrease reserve requirements.
Answer: a. 2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. $900.
Multiplier is 10
c. 4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. 2. increase reserve requirements.
Explanation:
a. In fractional-reserve banking system, $1 of deposits can be used to create more than $1 in money supply as the money is continuously deposited into other bank accounts. This enables the money to keep increasing until it theoretically reaches a certain amount determined by the money Multiplier.
If the money Multiplier is equal to 1 which is a very rare occasion, this means that the amount required in reserves is equal to the deposits. $1 of deposits will yield a $1 in money supply increase.
b. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. For every $1, 0.1 goes to reserves.
If bank reserves have increased by $10 then that means that deposits are,
0.1x = 10
x = $100
Deposits not in reserve are,
= 0.9 * 100
= $90
The money Multiplier can be calculated with the formula,
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
= 1/0.1
= 10
Increase in money supply is therefore,
= $90 * 10
= $900
c. As earlier mentioned, option D is the general rule for calculating the money Multiplier.
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
d. If the Fed increases the reserve requirement, the effect would be a reduction in the money supply because the denominator is now higher.
For instance, reserve requirement of 0.1 vs 0.2.
At 0.1, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.1
= 10
At 0.2, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.2
= 5
The higher the reserve requirement, the lower the Multiplier.
Use the following information to answer the question: There are three firms in an economy: X, Y, and Z. Firm X buys $400 worth of goods from Firm Y, and $200 worth of goods from Firm Z to produce 250 units of output at $3 per unit. Firm Y buys $250 worth of goods from Firm X and $250 worth of goods from Firm Z to produce 250 units of output at $4 per unit. Firm Z buys $100 worth of goods from Firm X and $500 worth of goods from Firm Y to produce 500 units at $2 per unit. Given this information, using the Value Added approach to eliminating intermediate goods and services (in order to avoid double-counting), what is the economy's GDP
Answer:
$1,050
Explanation:
Value Added Approach to calculating the GDP avoids double counting by adding only the value addition of all firms in an economy to obtain the GDP. Value addition for each firm can be calculated by deducting the intermediate purchase of each firm from its intermediate sales as follows:
Firm X value addition = ($250 * 3) - $400 - $200 = $750 - $600 = $150
Firm Y value addition = ($250 * 4) - $250 - $250 = $1,000 - $500 = $500
Firm Z value addition = (500 * 2) - $100 - $500 = $1,000 - $600 = $400
Therefore, we have:
The economy's GDP = $150 + $500 + $400 = $1,050
Find the mean, median and mode for the above set of data
Answer:
a. Mean = 35.2 ≈ 35
b. Median = 35.6 ≈ 36
c. Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37
Step-by-step Explanation:
==>Given:
Class of ages in yrs
No. of cases of each class = f
Midpoint of each class = x
Product of midpoint and no. of cases of each class = fx
==>Required:
a. Mean
b. Median
c. Mode
==>SOLUTION:
a. Mean = (Σfx)/Σf
Σf = sum of no. of cases = 5+10+20+22+13+5 = 75
Σfx = 47.5+195+590+869+643.5+297.5 = 2,642.5
Mean = 2,642.5/75 = 35.2 ≈ 35
b. Median = Lm + [((Σf/2) - Cfb)/fm]Cw
Our median is between the 37th and the 38th term, which can be found in the class interval 35-44. This is our median class.
Lm = Lower class boundary of the median class = lower limit of the Medina class + upper limit of the class before the median class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5
Σf/2 = 75/2 = 37.5
Cfb = Cumulative frequency of class before the median class = 5+10+20 = 35
fm = frequency of the Medina class = 22
Cw = Class width = upper class boundary - lower class boundary = 44.5-34.5 = 10
Median = 34.5 + [(37.5-35)/22] × 10
= 34.5 + [2.5/22] × 10
= 34.5 + [25/22]
= 34.5 + 1.1
= 35.6 ≈ 36
c. Mode = Lm + [∆¹/(∆¹+∆²)]Cw
Modal class = (35-44) [i.e. the class with the highest frequency, which is where our mode falls in]
Lm = lower class boundary of the modal class = lower limit of the modal class + upper limit of the class before the modal class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5
∆¹ = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class before the modal class = 22 - 20 = 2
∆² = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class after the modal class = 22 - 13 = 9
Cw == Upper class boundary - Lower class boundary = 44.5 - 34.5 = 10
Mode = 34.5 + [2/(2+9)] × 10
= 34.5 + [2/11] × 10
= 34.5 + [20/11]
= 34.5 + 1.8
Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37
If Katerina were delivering an expository speech about strip mining, she would be presenting _______________________. a. an informative process speech b. an exposition of a theory, principle, or law c. an exposition of political, economic, social, religious, or ethical issues d. an exposition of historical events and forces
Answer:
a. an informative process speech
Explanation:
An expository speech is one that explains the processes involved in doing an activity. It is meant to inform the audience on processes involved in executing a task.
In this scenario strip mining is the process of removing the top layer of soil in order to gain access to a mineral. This process is opposed to digging of deep holes to access minerals. The method is commonly used in coal reserves.
An expository speech by Katerina on strip mining will be an informative process speech on this process of mining minerals
How can economies of scale benefit you as a customer and society as a whole? Can the taxicab industry, in large cities, be subject to significant economies of scale? Are ride-sharing services, such as Uber and Lyft, able to take advantage of economies of scale? How or why not?
Answer:
The answer to this question can be described as follows:
Explanation:
The economy scale with cost activity and total volumes of sales, which lowers the overall product prices as a result, and grows all economies of scale, because consumers purchase the stuff like those, who pay even less than the amount they expect to receive.
It is the transition, the same saved money it's spent on other commodities and the overall deficit as well as the actual boosting of financial social assistance that generates income as a whole. It also increases outlays and creates more jobs, and benefits people with higher median income levels and a decent standard of living, For example
Uber often encourages ride-sharing, in which the car is capable of serving 3-4 people simultaneously. This gives a win-win situation to all sides and generates economies of scale. Throughout the market like India, Uber already is introducing it and being extremely successful.
Minor Company installs a machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $135,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 300,000 units of product, with a $15,000 salvage value. During its first year, the machine produces 64,500 units of product. Determine the machines' first year depreciation under the units-of-production method.
Answer:
$25,800
Explanation:
The units-of-production deprecation method depreciates an asset based on the total units produced each year.
Unit of production depreciation expense = (units produced / total expected units of production) × (cost of asset - salvage value)
(64,500 / 300,000) x ($135,000 - $15,000)
0.215 x $120,000 = $25,800

Hutter Corporation declared a $0.50 per share cash dividend on its common shares. The company has 35,000 shares authorized, 18,000 shares issued, and 14,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The journal entry to record the dividend declaration is:
Answer:
Journal Entry
Dr. Dividend $7,000
Cr. Dividend Payable $7,000
Explanation:
Dividend are only paid to the outstanding share. Outstanding shares re those share is in held by the stockholders of the company at a specific time period.
Authorised share are those shares which a company can issue in the market legally.
Issued shares are those share which have been issued by the company.
Dividend Declared = Outstanding shares x dividend per share.
Dividend Declared = 14,000 shares x $0.5 = $7,000

= $50000/(1+8%)+ $50000/(1+8%)^2+......+$50000/(1+8%)^20
= $50,000 * Annuity Factor ( 1-20 years) of 8%
=$50000*9.818
= $490,907
To have $490,907 (FV) in account after 30 years (tenor), now you have save an amount each year (PMT) calculated as below:
$490,907 = PMT*(1+8%)^30+....PMT*(1+8%)^2 + PMT*(1+8%)
= PMT * Discount Factor ( 1-30 years) of 8%
$490,907 = PMT * 122.346
-> PMT = $490,907/ 122.346
= $4,012.45
As a toy company produces more toys the average total cost of each toy produced decreases. This is because: total fixed costs are decreasing as more toys are produced. average variable cost is decreasing as more toys are produced. total variable cost is decreasing as more toys are produced. None of the above.
Answer:
total fixed costs are decreasing as more toys are produced.
Explanation:
Costs are classified as variable or fixed based on their relationship with the level of activity.
At any given level of activity, variable unit costs are constant. However, the unit fixed costs decrease as more units are produced.
Juanita is deciding whether to buy a skirt that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same skirt, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get to some stores than others. For example, she can go to her local store, located 15 minutes away from where she works, and pay a marked-up price of $103 for the skirt:

Assume that Juanita takes opportunity costs and the price of the skirt into consideration when she shops. Juanita will minimize the cost of the skirt if she buys it from the:_________.
Answer:
Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest.
Explanation:
three options:
local store 15 minutes away and a price of $103across town 30 minutes away and a price of $89neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $63Juanita makes $16 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:
total economic cost:
local store = $103 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $111across town = $89 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $105neighboring city = $63 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $95Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest ($105)
Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.
Orange Corporation acquired new office furniture on August 15, 2018, for $130,000. Orange does not elect immediate expensing under § 179. Orange claims any available additional first-year depreciation. If required, round your answer to the nearest dollar.
a. Determine Orange's cost recovery for 2018
The office furniture is classified as a seven-year class of property for MACRS. If bonus depreciation is elected, Orange's deduction is
b. Determine Orange's cost recovery for 2018 if Orange decided to only use $52,000 of bonus depreciation and normal MACRS on the balance of the acquisition cost.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) The asset is purchased in 2018.
In 2018, bonus depreciation % has been increased from 50% to 100%. If bonus depreciation is elected Orange Corporation can deduct 100% of Purchase cost of $130,000.
The office furniture is classified as seven year class of property for MACRs. If bonus depreciation is elected Orange's deduction is $130,000
= $130,000
b) if Orange decides to use only $52,000 of bonus depreciation, it can claim depreciation (MACRS) on balance amount of acquisition cost.
Cost Recovery for 2018:
Bonus depreciation = $52,000
MACRS Depreciation [($130,000 - $52,000) * 14.29%]= $11,146.20
Hence, Cost Recovery for 2018 = Bonus depreciation + MACRS Depreciation
= $52,000 + $11,146.20
= $63,146 (rounded off to nearest dollar)

Answer:
$14.9217.1%3.6%4.7$67Explanation:
1. Earnings per share = net income / average shares outstanding = $193,900 / 13,000 stocks = $14.92
2. Dividend payout ratio = total dividends / net income = ($2.55 x 13,000) / $193,900 = $33,150 / $193,900 = 17.1%
3. Dividend yield ratio = dividend per share / market price per share = $2.55 / $70 = 3.6%
4. Price-earnings ratio = price per share / earnings per share = $70 / $14.92 = 4.7
5. Book value per share = (stockholders' equity - preferred stocks) / total number of stocks outstanding = $871,000 / 13,000 = $67
Suppose that there is a French shipbuilder that imports American made aluminum for parts in its ships. The French shipbuilder needs to purchase aluminum from the American producer for $100,000. Question: At the equilibrium exchange rate, how much does it cost to purchase $100,000 worth of aluminum from the American producer
Answer:
€67,000
Explanation:
The computation o the cost is shown below:
But before that first we have to determine the exchange rate at which the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplies
As we can see that from the table $1.5 per euro exchange rate, the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplied
That means € 1 = $ 1.5
So,
$1 = € 1 ÷ 1.5
So,
Euro exchange rate = €0.67 per dollar
Now
Worth of exchange is
= $100,000 × € 0.67 per dollar
= €67,000
Tim, who is subject to a 35 percent marginal gift tax rate, made a gift of a painting to Ben, valuing the property at $7,000. The IRS later valued the gift at $15,000. Compute the applicable undervaluation penalty.
Answer:
The undervaluation penalty is $560
Explanation:
Solution
Under valuation penalty applied when a person valued assets understated to save tax.
The undervaluation reduces the tax and hence comes with accuracy related penalty.
From the example, Tim undervalued the gift of $7,000 which is valued at $15,000 by IRS.
The deduction is undervalued for more than 150% and hence penalty is assessed. this is so because the income tax valuation is lower than 40%, so the penalty rate is 20%
Thus,
The calculation of overvaluation penalty is given below:
Undervaluation = $8000
Tax rate = 35%
Tax amount = $2,800
Penalty rate = 20%
Penalty on undervaluation is =$560
Therefore, the undervaluation penalty is $560

Travel expenses $600 $19,000
Other expenses $36,000 $34,500
When preparing its planning budget, the company estimated that it would serve 30 customers per month; however, during May the company actually served 35 customers.
Required:
1. What amount of revenue would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May?
2. What amount of employee salaries and wages would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May?
3. What amount of travel expenses would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May?
4. What amount of other expenses would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May?
5. What net operating income would appear in Adger's flexible budget for May?
Answer:

Explanation:
Given
Adger Corporation
Fixed Element Variable Element Actual Total
per Month per Customer Served for May
Revenue $5,000 $160,000
Employee Salaries
& wages $50,000 $1,100 $88,000
Travel expenses $600 $19,000
Other expenses $36,000 $34,500
There were 35 customers.
Revenue = $5000 per customer
We can easily calculate as we have been given the number of customers and the variable element of expense per customer.
1. Total Revenue in May = 5000 * 35= $ 175,000
Variable Salaries & wages = $ 1100 per customer
Total Variable Salaries & wages = $ 1100 *35= $ 38500
2. Total Salaries & wages For May = Variable + Fixed
= $ 38500 + $50,000= $ 88500
Travel expenses = $600per customer
3. Total Travel Expenses for May = $ 600 *35= $21,000
4. Other Expense = Fixed Expenses = $ 36,000 ( there are no variable expenses)
5. Operating Income= Revenue - Employee Salaries - Travel Expenses
= $ 175,000- $ 88500 - $ 21,000= $ 65,500
Other expenses are included in the net income statement not operating income statement.
Pablo Management has seven employees, each of whom earns $210 per day. They are paid on Fridays for work completed Monday through Friday of the same week. Near year-end, the seven employees worked Monday, December 31, and Wednesday through Friday, of the same week.

a.To record accrued and current wages.Wages expense = 7 workers × 3 days × $210 = $4,410.
b. To record accrued wages four days Cash = 7 workers × 4 days × $210 = $5,880. For one day (7 workers × $210) = $1,470.
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 25 million bottles of wine were sold every month at a price of $6 per bottle. After the tax, 20 million bottles of wine are sold every month; consumers pay $8 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $5 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is_____________ $ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is_________ $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $___________ per bottle.?
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that before the tax, 25 million wine bottles were sold at price of $6 per bottle and that after the tax, 20 million bottles of wine are sold every month and the consumers pay $8 per bottle which include the tax and producers receive $5 per bottle.
The amount of tax on wine will be the difference between the price consumers pay after the tax and the price producers receive. This will be:
= $8 - $5
= $3 per bottle
The tax burden that falls on the consumers will be difference between price paid after tax and the price which is paid before the tax.
= $8 - $6
= $2 per bottle
The tax burden on the producers will be difference between price received before the tax and price received after the tax.
= $6 - $5
= $1 per bottle
On January 1, 20X1, Draper Inc. signed a five-year noncancelable lease with Thornhill Company for custom-made equipment. The lease calls for five payments of $161,364.70 to be made at the beginning of each year. The leased asset has a fair value of $900,000 on January 1, 20X1. There is no bargain purchase option, and ownership of the leased asset reverts to Thornhill at the lease end. The leased asset has an expected useful life of six years, and Draper uses straight-line depreciation for financial reporting purposes. Its incremental borrowing rate is 8%. Draper uses a calendar year for financial reporting purposes.
Required:
1. Under U.S GAAP would Draper classify this lease as a capital lease or as an operating lease? Explain.
2. Under IFRS would Draper classify this lease as a capital lease or as an operating lease? Explain.
Answer:
1. Under U.S GAAP the lease will be capital lease
2. Under IFRS it is leased under capital lease method.
Explanation:
1. In order to determine Under U.S GAAP if Draper classify this lease as a capital lease or as an operating lease we would to calculate the lease payable as follows:
lease payable=(Annual Payment*present value after interest and tax)/Fair value
lease payable=($161,364.70*800)/$900,000
lease payable=77.3%
Under U.S GAAP the lease will be capital lease because the lease term is for 5 years was more than 75% of economic life
2. Under IFRS the assets are mostly considered by its economic value, so it is leased under capital lease method.
Annual production and sales level of Product A is 34,300 units, and the annual production and sales level of Product B is 69,550 units. What is the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing?
Answer:
$3.00
Explanation:
Calaculation of the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing:
The first step is to calculate for the Activity 1 allocated to Product A line which is :
$87,000 × 3,000/5,800
=$261,000,000/5,800
=$45,000
The second step is to calaculate for Activity 2 allocated to Product A line which is :
$62,000 × 4,500/10,000
$279,000,000/10,000
=$27,900
The third step is to calculate for Activity 3 allocated to Product A line which is :
$93,000 × 2,500/7,750
=$232,500,000/7,750
=$30,000
The total overhead allocated to Product A
$45,000+$30,000+$27,900
= $102,900
Overhead per unit of Product A: $102,900/Annual production of 34,300 units
= $3.00
Therefore the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing will be $3.00
