Skis                      25               $300          $350

Ending inventory = (20 x $95) + (25 x $300) = $9,400

a) inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average inventory = $180,000 / [($55,000 + $45,000)/2] = $$180,000 / $50,000 = 3.6

Redesigned Computers has 6.5 percent coupon bonds outstanding with a current market price of $832. The yield to maturity is 16.28 percent and the face value is $1,000. Interest is paid semiannually. How many years is it until these bonds mature? A. 2.10 years B. 4.19 years C. 7.41 years D. 9.16 years E. 18.32 years

Answers

Answer:

A. 2.10 years

Explanation:

Use following formula to calculate the numbers of years to maturity of the bond.

Price of the bond  = [ Periodic Coupon payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + periodic yield to maturity )^-numbers of periods ) / Periodic yield to maturity ] + [ Face value / ( 1 + periodic yield to maturity )^numbers of periods

where

Price of the bond  = $832

Periodic Coupon payment = $1,000 x 6.5% x 6/12 = $32.5

Periodic yield to maturity = 16.28% x 6/12 = 8.14%

Face value = $1,000

Numbers of periods = ?

Placing values in the formula

$832  = [ $32.50 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 8.14% )^-numbers of periods ) / Periodic 8.14% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 8.14% )^numbers of periods ]

Numbers of periods = 4.20 period

Numbers of years = 4.20 x 12/6 = 2.10 years

Explanation:

This is indeed a connection to compulsory tax and government expense stabilizers which weren't at the discretion including its government. Throughout the event of a recession, expenses are cut, rising discretionary income to something like the extent that the economic depression is pacified. Unemployment insurance, as well as other social programs, are consequently expanded without the clear intervention of the government

You are saving money for a down payment on a new house. You intend to place $7,500 at the end of each year for three years into an account earning 5% per year. At the end of the fourth year, you will place $10,000 into this account. How much money will be in the account at the end of the fourth year?

Answers

Answer:

$37,848.9

Explanation:

We can use the interest rate formula to figure out how much is in the account after the first 3 years. The interest rate formula is show below:

[tex]A = P (1 + r)^t[/tex]

Let me delineate what each part of this equation means:

A = The total amount

P = The initial amount of money put into the account

R = the interest rate

T = Time

The equation gives us the following:

You place $7,500 each year for three years The interest rate is 5%At the end of the 4th year $10,000 will be placed in the account

First, let's calculate the P in the equation.

You put $7,500 each year for 3 years, so multiply 7,500 by 3.

[tex](7,500) * (3) = 22,500[/tex]

Next, let's start putting everything into the equation, like this:

[tex]A = 22,500(1 + .05)^3[/tex]

(When doing interest rate you have to move the decimal over twice)

Now that we have the equation, let's solve it!

[tex]A = 22,500(1.05)^3\\A = 22,500(1.15763)\\A = 26,046.6[/tex]

After 3 years $26,046.6 is in the account.

But, don't forget the last part of the question!

But you have a fourth year too!

Add the $10,000 onto the $26,046.6

That equals $36,046.6.

Lets plug this back into the equation for the final year

[tex]A = 36046.6(1.05)^1\\A = 37848.9[/tex]

Thus, the final answer will be $37,848.9

Hope this helps!

After saving the money for the four years and by adding $10,000 in the end of fourth year the money the amount that will be saved is $48,942.23.

What is Future Value?

The temporal value of money is based on the simple notion that one dollar today is worth more than one dollar in the future. This is because one can invest the dollar they have today and have it increase at a rate of return, or interest, over time.

The formula for future value is-

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{FV}&=\text{CF}\times\dfrac{(1+r)^n-1}{\text{r}}+\text{FV}\\&=\$7,500\times\dfrac{(1+0.05)^4-1}{0.05}+\$7,500\\&=\$48,942.23\end{aligned}[/tex]

Thus, the future value by the end of the fourth year is $48,942.23.

A company has three product lines, one of which reflects the following results:Sales 215,000Variable expenses 125,000Contribution margin 90,000Fixed expenses 140,000Net loss (50,000)If this product line is eliminated, 60% of the fixed expenses can be eliminated and the other 40% will be allocated to other product lines. If management decides to eliminate this product line, the company's net income will:__________. a. increase by $50,000 b. decrease by $90,000 c. decrease by $6,000 d. increase by $6,000

Answers

Answer:

c. decrease by $6,000

Explanation:

The computation of the company net income is shown below:

Sales $215,000

Less: Variable expenses ($125,000)

Contribution margin $90,000

Less: Fixed expenses(traceable) ($84,000)   ($140,000 × 0.60)

Net Income $ 6,000

And, the given net loss is $50,000

The fixed expense is $56,000 ($140,000 × 0.40)

So, the net income would decrease by $6,000

A toll on a congested road is in essence a. an interstate highway subsidy. b. a corrective tax. c. a hidden tax. d. a gasoline tax.

Answers

Answer:

b. a corrective tax.

Explanation:

Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.

There are three (3) types of taxation used by the government, these are;

1. Progressive taxation: it involves charging individuals having higher incomes a higher percentage of their total income.

For instance, Citizen X pays 30% on $70,000 and Citizen B pays 10% on $45.000.

2. Proportional taxation: it involves charging both lower and higher income earners equally in proportion to their income.

For instance, Citizen A pays 20% on $50,000 and Citizen B pays 20% on $36,000.

3. Regressive taxation: it involves charging individuals with low incomes a higher percentage of their total income and vice-versa.

For instance, Citizen A pays 15% on $50,000 and Citizen B pays 20% on $36,000.

A corrective tax can be defined as a type of taxation imposed by the government on its citizens to correct negative externalities such as facilities, services or amenities that have socially harmful effects or capable of causing damages to the people.

Hence, a toll on a congested road is in essence a corrective tax.

A toll on a congested road is considered a corrective tax as it aims to correct market inefficiencies by discouraging excessive use and reducing congestion, while also generating revenue for infrastructure maintenance and improvements. Therefore, option a is correct.

A toll on a congested road is considered a corrective tax. It is implemented to correct market inefficiencies by discouraging excessive use of the road and reducing congestion.

By charging a toll, the aim is to internalize the negative externalities associated with congestion and encourage more efficient use of the road network.

Additionally, the revenue generated from the toll can be used for infrastructure maintenance and improvements. Thus, a toll on a congested road serves as a corrective measure to address congestion issues while also generating revenue.

May 139,000
Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes represent $35,000 of the estimated monthly expenses. The annual insurance premium was paid on February 28, and property taxes for the year will be paid in June. 73% of the remainder of the expenses are expected to be paid in the month in which they are incurred, with the balance to be paid in the following month.
Prepare a schedule of cash payments for selling and administrative expenses for March, April, and May.

Answers

Answer:

Total Cash Payments are as follows:

For March = $91,834

For April = $119,960

For May = $107,726

Explanation:

Note: See the attached Excel file for the schedule of cash payments

The expenses paid in each month are estimated as follows:

a. March Expenses

Paid in March = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for March - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for March) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($160,800 - $35,000) * 73% = $91,834

Paid in April = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for March - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for March) * Percentage of balance paid = ($160,800 - $35,000) * (100% - 73%) = $33,966

b. April Expenses

Paid in April = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for April - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for April) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($152,800 - $35,000) * 73% = $85,994

Paid in May = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for April - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for April) * Percentage of balance paid = ($152,800 - $35,000) * (100% - 73%) = $31,806

c. May Expenses

Paid in May = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for May - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for May) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($139,000 - $35,000) * 73% = $75,920

M and M, Inc. produces a product that has a variable cost of $3.40 per unit. The company's fixed costs are $41,600.

(Do not round intermediate calculations.) A. $305,200 B. $96,000 C. $150,600 D. $126,000

Answers

Answer:

D. $126,000

Explanation:

We will calculate the amount of sales to earn desired profit as;

= (Desired profit + Fixed costs) / Contribution margin %

Given that;

Desired profit = $13,000

Fixed costs = $41,600

We can calculate contribution margin % using the formula;

= (Sales price per unit - Variable cost per unit) / Sales price per unit

= ($6 - $3.4) / $6

= $2.6 / $6

= 0.4333333

= 43.33333% rounded off

We can now calculate ;

Amount of sales = (Desired profit + Fixed costs) / Contribution margin %

= ($13,000 + $41,600) / 43.33333%

= $54,600 / 43.33333%

= $126,000

Therefore, the amount of sales that will be necessary to earn the desired profit is $126,000

A $10,000 bond with 18%/year, compounded semi-annually (interest is paid every six month) is available in the market. The bond matures in 10 years. The closest PW of this bond if the purchaser can earn 12%/year, compounded quarterly is:_____.

Answers

Answer:

present value = 13313.50

Explanation:

given data

bond = $10,000

interest = 18% per year = 9% per semi annual period

bond matures = 10 years = 20 semi annual period

purchaser can earn =  12% per year compounded quarterly = 3% per quater

so efftive semi annual rate is

efftive semi annual rate = (1+3%)² - 1  

efftive semi annual rate = 6.09%

and

we get here coupon paymnet that is

coupon payment = 9% × $10,000  

coupon payment = $900

so present value is

present value = 900 (P/A,6.09%,20) + 10000 (P/F,6.09%,20)

present value = 900 × 11.3865  +  10000 × 0.3065

Suppose you buy a 7 percent coupon, 20-year bond today when it’s first issued. If interest rates suddenly rise to 15 percent, what happens to the value of your bond?
a. the price of the bond will fall
b. the price of the bond will raise

Answers

Answer: a. the price of the bond will fall.

Explanation:

If one buys a 7% coupon, 20-year bond today when it’s first issued and the interest rates suddenly rise to 15%, the value of the bond will decrease.

This is because there's an inverse relationship between price and interest rates, that is, the increase in one variable will lead to the decrease in the other variable. When there is a rise in the inters rate, it should be noted that the payments on fixed coupon are worth less.

Therefore, the price of the bond will fall.

What is the amount of gross profit earned by Abbey Co. on the above transactions?
A- $10,500
B- $30,772
C- $7,972
D- $ 31,400

Answers

Answer:

Gross profit earned = $7,972

Explanation:

Net sales = $35,000 - 3,600

Net sales  = $31,400

Merchandise cost = $24,500 - 1,700

Merchandise cost = 22,800

Discount allowed = [$31,400]2%

Discount allowed = 628

If a 7% increase in the price of cheese causes a 7% reduction in the total revenue received by cheese farmers, the demand for cheese is:A.Inelastic.B.Elastic.C.Unit elastic.D.Infinite

Answers

Answer:

C.Unit elastic

Explanation:

Unit elastic demand is the term that describes a scenario where a change in price causes a proportionate change in demand. It is one of the types of elastic demand. A good or service is said to have elastic demand if a small change in price causes a considerable change in the quantity demanded.

In the unit elastic demand, if a product price changes by a certain percentage, the demand will change by an equal percentage. In this scenario, a 7 percent price increase results in a 7 percent decrease in demand.

If an investor has a fixed investment horizon, what type of security can be used to minimize both the price risk and the reinvestment risk?

Answers

Answer:

A zero coupon treasury bond

Explanation:

A zero coupon treasury bond having a maturity period matching the investment horizon of an investor can minimize both price risk and reinvestment risk.  Reinvestment risk in case of a bond refers to reinvestment of the cash flows from the bond at a return close to current investment rate of return. As a zero coupon treasury bond do not pay any coupon payment, it won't carry any reinvestment risk.  

The bond holder in case of a zero coupon treasury bond, receives a guaranteed payment at maturity of the bond. This payment is equal to face value or par value of the bond. Price risk (increase or decrease in a bond value due to interest rates) matters if a bond is sold before maturity.. However, on selling a bond at its maturity, price risk won't matter as the payment will be equal to face or par value.

PART A:
Current Price: $____________.
PART B:
Price in Three Years: $____________.
PART C:
Price in Fifteen Years: $____________.

Answers

Answer:

P0 = $20.6

P3 = $22.5101762 rounded off to $22.51

P15 = $32.09412 rounded off to $32.09

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,

D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period /year g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return or cost of equity

Current Price

P0 = 1.8 * (1+0.03)  /  (0.12 - 0.03)

P0 = $20.6

Price in three years

To calculate the current price of P0 we use the dividend for Year 1 or D1. Similarly, to calculate the price in three years or P3, we will use D4.

P3 = 1.8 * (1+0.03)^4  /  (0.12 - 0.03)

P3 = $22.5101762 rounded off to $22.51

Price in fifteen years

We will use D16.

P15 = 1.8 * (1+0.03)^16 / (0.12 - 0.03)

P15 = $32.09412 rounded off to $32.09

The just meaningful difference (JMD) refers to: A. The process by which consumers give humanlike characteristics to inanimate objects. B. The smallest amount of change in a stimulus that would influence consumer consumption and choice. C. A situation where a stimulus is sufficiently stronger than another so that someone can actually notice that the two are not the same. D. The way in which consumers interpret information in ways that are biased by their previously held beliefs. E. The process of screening out certain stimuli and purposely exposing oneself to other stimuli.

Answers

Answer:

B. The smallest amount of change in a stimulus that would influence consumer consumption and choice.

Explanation:

The just meaningful difference (JMD) refers to the smallest amount of change in a stimulus that would influence consumer consumption and choice.

For instance, when the price of a particular product rises from $5.0 to $6.5, consumers wouldn't be motivated to buy such a product again and may choose to go for its close substitutes.

Hence, in marketing it is important to introduce a stimulus plan that will significantly increase consumer consumption and choice in order to increase sales and make profit.
