g Jill has a balance of $866,000 in her retirement savings account. She expects to retire in 8 years. She will not save any additional money until she retires, but what she has in savings now will earn 9% for the next 8 years. Bob has a balance of $482,000 in his retirement savings and he also wants to retire 8 years from now. He plans to save money every year for the next 8 years so that he will have exactly as much money as Jill does 8 years from now. If he earns the same rate on his savings as Jill, how much will he have to save each year for 8 years to catch up with Jill

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$69,378.96

Explanation:

The first step is to determine the future value of Jill's balance

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

$866,000(1.09)^8 = $1,725,559.25

the second step is to determine the future value of the balance in Bob's account

$482,000(1.09)^8 = $960,415.19

The difference between Jill and Bob's future value amount is 765,144.06. this has to be the future value of bob's yearly savings

yearly savings = 765,144.06.  / annuity factor

Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r

(1.09^8 - 1) / 0.09 = 11.028474

765,144.06.  /  11.028474 = $69,378.96

1. A company purchased the following units of an inventory during the year:
Beginning inventory 10 units at $55
First purchase 25 units at $60
Second purchase 30 units at $65
Third purchase 15 units at $70
They use the periodic inventory system. During the year, 50 units of the item were sold. Using FIFO, the value of ending inventory is which of the following?
a. $1,350.
b. $1,150.
c. $1,375.
d. $1,250.

Answers

Answer:

$2,025

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the ending inventory is shown below:

But before that first we have to calculate the ending inventory units which is

= Beginning inventory + first purchase units + second purchase units + third purchase units - sold units

= 10 units + 25 units + 30 units + 15 units - 50 units

= 30 units

Now the ending inventory is

= 15 units × $70 + 15 units × $65

= $1,050 + $975

= $2,025

John invested $10,000 into a money market account and took out $2,000 at the end of year 1. He found out at the end of 7 years that the rest of the money in the account grew to a sum of $29,860. What is the annual interest rate John earned in this investment

Answers

Answer: 20%

Explanation:

The annual interest rate that John earned in this investment will be calculated thus:

At the annual interest rate, the money that's invested will be equal to the money that's earned. Therefore,

10000 = 2000/[1+20%]¹ + 29860/[1+20%]^7

10000 = 2000/(1+0.2)¹ + 29860/(1+0.2)^7

10000 = 1666.67 + 8333.33

10000 = 10000

Therefore, the annual interest rate John earned in this investment is 20%.

Identify which statement is a characteristic of long-run for a firm.
A. Time period with at least one fixed element
B. Time period with the least control over constraints
C. Time period of determining quantity and cost that yields the greatest profit
D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable

Answers

Answer:

D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable

Explanation:

The long run period of a firm is when the factors of production such as land, labor , capital etc varies. In this period, a firm is flexible in its production decision due to the variability in the factors of production.

In the long run, a firm has time to build a bigger factory hence respond to changes in demand. Also, the price level(general), expectation, and contractual wages , all adjust to the prevailing economic condition in the long run period.

Answer:

D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable

Explanation:

The long run is a period of time in which all factors of production and costs are variable. In the long run, firms are able to adjust all costs, whereas in the short run firms are only able to influence prices through adjustments made to production levels.

The net differential income from the lease alternative is

Answers

Answer:

$11,080

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The net differential income from the lease alternative is

Using this formula

Equipment leased net differential income = Lease amount - Estimated expenses - Net sale of equipment

Let plug in the formula

Equipment leased net differential income= $47,000-$10,000-[$26,000-($26,000*8%)]

Equipment leased net differential income=$47,000-$10,000-($26,000-$2,080)

Equipment leased net differential income=$47,000-$12,000-$23,920

Equipment leased net differential income=$47,000-$35,920

Equipment leased net differential income=$11,080

Therefore The net differential income from the lease alternative is $11,080

Answer:

1- B. Expense will be $140,000 and liability will be $250,000

2- d. $250,000

3- d. $250,000

Explanation:

The expense will be $140,000 which is calculated by year 1 and year 2 percent filled. The calculation is as follows:

Year 2 liability : $1,000,000 * 25% = $250,000

Answers

Answer:

34,200

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How many pounds of foam does The Porch Cushion Company need to purchase in​ August

Does

First step is to calculate the Opening Inventory

Opening Inventory = (100%-15%)*(18,000*2)

Opening Inventory=85%*36,000

Opening Inventory=30600 pounds

Second step is to calculate the

Closing Inventory = 15%* (12,000*2)

Closing Inventory=15%*24,000

Closing Inventory=3600 pounds

Now let calculate the No of pounds required to purchase using this formula

No of pounds required to purchase = Opening inventory+Closing inventory

Let plug in the formula

No of pounds required to purchase=30,600+3,600

No of pounds required to purchase=34,200

Therefore the amount of pounds of foam that The Porch Cushion Company need to purchase in​ August is 34,200

The $1,000 face value ABC bond has a coupon rate of 10%, with interest paid annually, and matures in 3 years. If the bond is priced to yield 12%, what is the bond's value today

Answers

Answer:

Bond Price  = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96

Explanation:

To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, which is the present value of the bond, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is an annual bond, we will use the annual coupon payment,  annual number of periods and annual YTM. The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.  

Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 10% = $100

Total periods remaining (n) = 3

r or YTM = 12%  

 Bond Price = 100 * [( 1 - (1+0.12)^-3) / 0.12]  + 1000 / (1+0.12)^3

Bond Price  = $951.9633746 rounded off to $951.96

You have a $40,000 portfolio consisting of Intel, GE, and Con Edison. You put $23,200 in Intel, $8,000 in GE, and the rest in Con Edison. Intel, GE, and Con Edison have betas of 1.3, 1, and .8, respectively. What is your portfolio beta

Answers

Answer:

1.13

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What is your portfolio beta

Portfolio beta=(23200/40000)(1.3)+(8000/40000)(1)+[(40,000-23200+8000)/40000)*(0.8)]

Portfolio beta=(23200/40000)(1.3)+(8000/40000)(1)+(8800/40000)*(0.8)

Portfolio beta=0.754+0.2+0.176

Portfolio beta= 1.13

Therefore your portfolio beta is 1.13

Two​ countries, Alpha and​ Beta, have identical production possibilities frontiers. What is the outcome if Alpha produces at point A and Beta produces at point B​?

Answers

Answer:

C.) Alpha consumes more than Beta today, but it will grow slower than Beta.

When rival firms compete aggressively by trying to attract competitors' customers, this might be an indication of: a. increasing economies of scale. b. slow industry growth. c. an industry with low exit barriers. d. high switching costs.

Answers

Answer:

b. slow industry growth.

Explanation:

Competitive advantage can be defined as conditions, factors or circumstances that allow a business firm (organization) to manufacture finished goods or services better and perhaps cheaper than other (rival) firms in the same industry. Thus, it's responsible for putting a business firm in a superior or more favorable position than rival firms.

This ultimately implies that, a competitive advantage has a significant impact on a business because it increases its level of sales, revenue generation and profit margin when compared to rival firms in the same industry.

Generally, when rival business firms compete aggressively by trying to attract competitors' customers, this might be an indication of slow industry growth.

In conclusion, the various companies or business firms are experiencing a low level of sales of their goods and services. As a result, they engage in activities that would attract potential customers and by extension their competitors' customers.

One-period pricing. Recall that since stocks have really long lives, in the video we first imagined owning a stock for only one period. In this simple, yet powerful scenario, today's stock price is the PV of next year's dividend and next year's stock price). The stock of Alydar Oil, an all-equity firm, is currently trading at $30 per share, after just having paid a $2.40 per share dividend. The market expects a dividend of $3.10 per share to be paid one year from today. If the equity cost of capital (same as discount rate for equity) is 12% for this firm, the expected ex-dividend price (the stock price after the dividend is paid next year) in one year (t = 1) should be closest to:_____.
a. $31.20.
b. $31.05.
c. $30.50.
d. $33.60.

Answers

Answer:

c. $30.50

Explanation:

As rightly said, the current stock price is the present value of a dividend in one year and the expected price at the end of the year discounted at the equity cost of capital which is 12% in this case

current share price=D1+P1/(1+cost of equity)^n

current share price=$30

D1=$3.10(dividend expected in one year)

P1=unknown(price in one year)

cost of equity=12%

n=investmet time horizon=1 year

$30=$3.10+P1/(1+12%)^1

$30*(1+12%)=$3.10+P1

$33.60=$3.10+P1

P1=$33.60-$3.10

P1=$30.50

What are the benefits of division of labor?

The specialisation of duties and responsibilities within a production process is known as the division of labour. It has many advantages, including improved productivity and efficiency. Workers can become more skilled and proficient in their particular role by breaking down a complex task into smaller, more focused tasks, which leads to higher-quality output and quicker production times. Because mass production can reduce costs per unit, the division of labour also makes it easier to achieve economies of scale. Additionally, it enables more latitude in task distribution and workload modification. As workers concentrate on gaining expertise in their area of specialisation, it can also result in more innovation and specialisation. In general, the division of labour has led to significant advancements in modern industrial production.

Ed's opportunity cost of going to the ball game is: Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button. Answer choices $25. $100. $60. $50.

Answers

Answer: $100

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit that we forgo when another option is chosen thereby leaving out something else. Based on the information given, Ed's opportunity cost of going to the ball will be calculated as the addition of the income that's lost when he takes some time off from his work and the expenses that he incurs on the base ball game. This will be:

= ( 4 × $15) + $25 + $15

= $60 + $40

= $100

The opportunity cost is $100.

A change in the number of suppliers

a change in the price of substitute goods

A change in the price of factors used in the production process

government regulation

If price increases, there is a movement down along the demand curve  and if prices decreases, there is a movement up along the demand curve. This is in line with the law of demand.

According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

Other factors lead to a shift of the demand curve. they include :

change in taste of the consumerchange in consumer's income season change in the price of substitutes

g has 25,000 shares of $10 par common stock outstanding and 12,500 shares of $100 par, 6.00% cumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock outstanding. Dividends have not been paid for the past two years. This year, a $350,000 dividend will be paid. What are the dividends per share payable to preferred and common, respectively

Answers

Answer:

Preferred stock dividend in arrears = (12500 shares * $100 par * 6%) * 2 years

Preferred stock dividend in arrears = $150,000

Dividend paid this year = $350,000.

Dividend paid to Preferred stockholders = $150,000 in arrears + $75,000 current period = $225,000.

Dividend paid to Common Stockholders = $350,000 - $225,000 = $125,000.

Dividend per share of preferred stock = $225,000 / 12500 shares

Dividend per share of preferred stock = $18

Dividend per share of common stock = $125,000 / 25000 shares

Dividend per share of common stock = $5
