On August 10, a credit card account had a balance of $325. A purchase of $56 was made on August 15, and $157 was charged on August 27. A payment of $79 was made on August 15. The interest on the average daily balance is 1.35% per month. Find the finance charge on the September 10 bill. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The finance charge on the September 10 bill is $5.08.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the sum of total amount owed each day (in bold red color).
From the attached excel file, we have:
Sum of total amount owed each day = $11,675
Average daily balance = Sum of total amount owed each day / Number of days in the billing period = $11,675 / 31 = $376.61
Finance charge = Average daily balance * Interest rate per month = $376.61 * 1.35% = $5.08
Therefore, the finance charge on the September 10 bill is $5.08.

13) Storico Co. just paid a dividend of $3.15 per share. The company will increase its dividend by 20 percent next year and then reduce its dividend growth rate by 5 percentage points per year until it reaches the industry average of 5 percent dividend growth, after which the company will keep a constant growth rate forever. If the required return on the company’s stock is 12 percent, what will a share of stock sell for today? (4 pts)
Answer:
$61.29
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what will a share of stock sell for today
First step is to calculate the price in Year 3
P3= $3.15(1.20)(1.15)(1.10)(1.05) / (.12 – .05)
P3= $5.020785/0.07
P3=$71.72
Now Let Calculate the price of stock today using the Present Value (PV) of the first three dividends in addition with the Present Value (PV) of the stock price in Year 3:
P0= $3.15(1.20)/(1.12) + $3.15(1.20)(1.15)/1.12^²+ $3.15(1.20)(1.15)(1.10)/1.12^³+ $71.72/1.12^³
P0=$3.78/1.12+$4.347/1.2544+$4.7817/1.404928+$71.72/1.404928
P0=$3.375+3.465+3.4035+$51.048
P0= $61.29
Therefore what will a share of stock sell for today is $61.29

= 37.33%
c. Under variable cost
= Desired profit ÷ variable cost
= $28 ÷ $58

Simon lost $7,100 gambling this year on a trip to Las Vegas. In addition, he paid $2,730 to his broker for managing his $273,000 portfolio and $500 to his accountant for preparing his tax return. In addition, Simon incurred $3,390 in transportation costs commuting back and forth from his home to his employer's office, which were not reimbursed. Calculate the amount of these expenses that Simon is able to deduct (assuming he itemizes his deductions).
Answer:
The Deductible amount = $0
Explanation:
The Deductible amount = $0
Reason -
Gambling losses are deductible to extent of winnings. As there is no winning, loss of $7,100 is not deductible.
Simon paid $2,730 to his broker for managing his portfolio and $500 to his accountant for preparing his tax return.
Both investment fees and tax preparation fees were in the past (before 2018) allowed under miscellaneous itemized deductions to the extent the total miscellaneous itemized deductions exceeded 2 percent of taxpayer's adjusted gross income.
However, in 2018 miscellaneous itemized deductions are no longer available.
Hence for 2018 investment fees and tax preparation fees are not deductible.
Transportation Cost of $3,390 for commuting back and forth from home to employer's office is not deductible.
As per IRS commuting expenses are personal expense.
As such:
Deductible amount = $0

Answer:
Max will have to use his savings and borrow some money to start his business
Explanation:
Max will be able to employ the franchise's offered business plan.A marketing concept that can be used by an organization as a strategy for business expansion is franchising. Hence option B is correct .
What was Franchise ?Where applicable, a franchisor grants a franchisee a license to use all or part of its operational methods, intellectual property, business model, brand, and rights to market and sell its branded goods and services. In exchange, the franchisee agrees to pay certain fees and adhere to specific requirements, usually outlined in a franchise agreement.
The word "franchise" is Anglo-French in origin, deriving from the French verb "francer," which means "to be free." Instead than expanding through acquisition, the franchisor's utilization of a franchise system is an alternate corporate growth approach.
Chains of stores controlled by corporations. For the selling and distribution of goods and services, a franchise system business growth plan reduces the franchisor's capital investment and liability risk.

You and your family visit Orlando for a week. While there, you decide to go to Universal Studios. When you arrive, you notice that each family member can buy a day pass for $115 or a two-day pass for $150. If you want a three-day pass, the price is $170. Suppose your benefit, measured in utility, is equal to $120 in value the first day you go to the park, $50 more if you go a second day, and $15 more for the third day. What ticket, if any, should you buy
Answer:
the second day ticket
Explanation:
We would purchase the ticket with the highest net benefit
Net benefit = Benefit - cost of ticket
First day
Net benefit = $120 - $115 = $5
Second day
Net benefit = ($120 + $50) - $150 = $20
Third day
Net benefit = ($170 + $15) - $170 = $15
The second day yields the highest net benefit

Frida makes bread every day and due to demand she is thinking of increasing her bread production. In order to make this decision, she would calculate her marginal costs of bread production (increased number of employees, equipment, etc.) and her marginal benefits (number of loaves sold, price paid, new customers, etc.) and continue to produce where Select the correct answer below:
a. MB
b. MB>MC or until they are equal.
c. total benefits equal total costs.
d. the price of bread equals exactly the marginal benefit of each loaf.
Answer: b. MB > MC or until they are equal.
Explanation:
It is best that Frieda produces bread at the level where Marginal benefits exceeds marginal costs. The difference will keep giving her more profit.
She should keep increasing her production so long as the Marginal benefit exceeds marginal cost but should stop at the level where the Marginal benefit and marginal cost become equal because producing past this point would mean that she would incur a marginal loss on each unit.
Dess Inc., a manufacturing company, has provided the following data for the month of August. The balance in the Work in Process inventory account was $10,000 at the beginning of the month and $22,000 at the end of the month. During the month, the used direct material cost was $63,000, and direct labor cost was $39,000. The manufacturing overhead cost was $43,000.
1. The manufacturing costs for August was:
A. $59,000
B. $67,000
C. $145,000
D. $133,000
2. The cost of goods manufactured for August was:
A. $133,000
B. $142,000
C. $145,000
D. $130,000
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. Manufacturing cost. This is computed as
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $63,000 + $39,000 + $43,000
= $145,000
2. Cost of goods manufactured. This is computed as;
= Beginning WIP + Direct materials + Direct labor + Allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
= $10,000 + $63,000 + $39,000 + $43,000 - $22,000
= $133,000

Accumulated depreciation through 2018 165,000
During 2019, the following expenditures were incurred for the equipment:
Major overhaul of the equipment on January 1, 2019, that improved efficiency $42,000
Routine maintenance and repairs on the equipment 5,000
The equipment is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of eight years with a $20,000 estimated residual value. The annual accounting period ends on December 31.
Required:
Record the adjusting entry for depreciation on the equipment during 2018.

= $41250
Debit: Depreciation = $41250
Credit: Accumulated depreciation = $41250

Suppose that Federal Reserve policy leads to higher interest rates in the U.S.
If the U.S. is a closed economy in the short run, real GDP will _________ increase stay the same decrease .
If the U.S. is an open economy real GDP will _______ increase stay the same decrease by ________ more than in a closed economy the same amount as in a closed economy less than in a closed economy .
Answer:
If the U.S. is an open economy real GDP will decrease by more than in a closed economy.
Explanation:
Federal fund rate is the rate of depository fund which banks pay overnight. The rise in fed will cause the banks to pay more interest on the mandated reserve. If the interest rates are increased the real GDP will decrease because there will be reduced investments, less spending and consumption which leads to declined net exports. These all factors lead to decline in the Real GDP of U.S.
