Hurricane Katrina destroyed oil and natural gas refining capacity in the Gulf of Mexico. This subsequently drove up natural gas, gasoline, and heating oil prices. As a result, this should B) shift the short-run aggregate supply curve to the right. D) move the economy down along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. C) move the economy up along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. A) shift the short-run aggregate supply curve to the left.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A) shift the short-run aggregate supply curve to the left.

Explanation:

The oil and natural gas refining capacity in the Gulf of Mexico was destroyed which means that facilities in the Gulf will be unable to supply natural gas, gasoline and heating oil.

These are all very important commodities in the market and drive a lot of production. With the supply of these commodities decreasing and the subsequent slow down of production in multiple industries as a result, the aggregate supply curve will shift to the left in the short run to reflect the reduction in supply of goods in the economy.

Kevin purchases 1,000 shares of Bluebird Corporation stock on October 3, 2020, for $115,000. On December 12, 2020, Kevin purchases an additional 750 shares of Bluebird stock for $80,500. According to market quotations, Bluebird stock is selling for $115 per share on 12/31/20. Kevin sells 500 shares of Bluebird stock on March 1, 2021, for $64,400.

Required:
a. What is the adjusted basis of Kevin’s Bluebird stock on December 31, 2020?
b. What is Kevin’s recognized gain or loss from the’ sale of Bluebird stock on March 1, 2021, assuming dial the shares sold are from the shares purchased on December 12, 2020?
c. What is Kevin’s recognized gain or loss from the sale of Bluebird stock on March 1, 2021, assuming that Kevin cannot adequately identify the shares sold?

Answers

Answer:a)$195,500 b) $10,735 c)$6,900

Explanation

a)adjusted basis of Kevin’s Bluebird stock on December 31, 2020?

1,000 shares was bought for $115,000

Therefore it was bought at  $115 per share

Also

750 shares was bought at  $80,500 and therefore bought at 107.33 per share

So in total of 1750 shares, He  spent $195,500    ($115,000+ $80,500)

b.On December 12, 2020,he bought  shares at 107.33 per share  

500 shares would be  500 x $107.33=$53, 665    

Therefore,   Kevin’s recognized gain or loss from the’ sale of Bluebird stock on March 1, 2021 would be

$64,400- $53, 665 = $10,735

c.Assuming he cannot identify the shares sold, then we can say they are sold on a FIFO ( first in first out) basis. So we would consider the shares bought on October 3, 2020

so we have that

500 x $115=$57,500

$64,400 - $57,500 = $6,900

To test the market, the postal service recently priced a new souvenir sheet at $12.60 and sales increased to 114,000 units. Required: 1. What total contribution margin did the postal service earn when it sold 100,000 sheets at a price of $14.00 each

Answers

Answer:

Total contribution margin= $1,220,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $1.8

Selling price= $14

Number of untis= 100,000

First, we will determine the unitary contribution margin:

Unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost

Unitary contribution margin= 14 - 1.8

Unitary contribution margin= $12.2

Now, the total contribution margin:

Total contribution margin= 100,000*12.2

Total contribution margin= $1,220,000

Your friend Brian just graduated from medical school. He is excited to begin his new career but is worried about how he will be able to pay back his nearly $150000 in student loans if he were to become disabled. You have recommended a long-term own-occupation disability policy. Approximately how much will Brian pay per month in premiums for this type of policy if the monthly benefit is $6800

Answers

Answer:

$204

Explanation:

Monthly benefit = $6800

Monthly premium = monthly benefit * 3%

                             = 6800 * 3%  = $204  

Brian just graduated from school.

and under own occupation disability policy ranges between 1% to 3%.

since Brian is worried about his ability to pay back his student loan if he gets disabled we will assume that Brian has a higher risk to injury therefore he will most likely contribute more to his premium which ≈ $204

This would increase the loans account an

Answers

Answer:

A. Increase; Deposits

B. Initial Value 15; New Value 16

C. The aim of Capital requirement is to protect the interests of all depositors.

Explanation:

A. This would increase the loans account and INCREASE the DEPOSITS account since the double entry principle state that every Debit entry must have a corresponding Credit entry and every Credit entry must have a corresponding Debit entry, therefore based on the information given assuming the new customer adds the amount of $100 to his account at the Mutual Bank, which we were told that the owners of the bank then use to make $100 worth of new loans, in this case both the loans and deposits will be have to increase by the amount of $100.

B. Calculation to determine the leverage ratio from its initial value to a new value

Calculation for Leverage Ratio using this formula

Leverage Ratio = Reserves+Loans+Securities/Capital

Let plug in the formula

Leverage Ratio = $150+$600+$750/$100

Leverage Ratio = $1,500/$100

Leverage Ratio =15

Calculation for New Leverage Ratio

Using this formula

New Leverage Ratio=Reserves+(Loans+increase in loans)+Securities/Capital

Let plug in the formula

New Leverage Ratio=$150+($600+$100)+$750/$100

New Leverage Ratio=$150+$700+$750/$100

New Leverage Ratio=$1,600/$100

New Leverage Ratio=16

Therefore This would also bring the leverage ratio from its INITIAL VALUE of 15 to a NEW VALUE of 16

What is the nature of the recognized gain or loss from this transaction?

Answers

Answer:

The nature of recognized gain or loss from this transaction is known as capital gain or loss and its important for the computation of individual income taxes

Explanation:

Given the above information, the gain or loss on sale of real estate is computed as;

Original cost

$1,840,000

Less:

Depreciation

($644,000)

Current value of property

$1,196,000

Less:

Sales value

($1,012,000)

Loss on sale

$184,000

Here, there is loss on sale because sales is less than the present value of the property taken into consideration, hence a capital loss is recognized.

After the issuance of its year 1 financial statements, Serenity Inc. discovered a computational error of $150,000 in the calculation of December 31, year 1 inventory.

b. $500,000 debit
c. $150,000 credit
d. $650,000 credit

Answers

Answer: C. $150,000 credit

Explanation:

In the financial statements for year 2, it should be noted that the year 1 retained earnings balance, should be adjusted by $150,000 credit.

The corrections of errors should be treated as the period adjustments before. In this case, the $150,000 overstatement for the cost of goods that was sold in the previous year, will then be credited to the beginning balance of the retained earnings.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Earnings this year will be $3 per share, and investors expect a 12% rate of return on stocks facing the same risks as Web Cites. a. What is the sustainable growth rate

Answers

Answer:

6%

Explanation:

Sustainable growth rate is the rate of growth a company can afford in the long term

Sustainable growth rate (g)  = b x ROE

b = retention rate. It is the portion of earnings that is not paid out as dividends = 30%

ROE = return on equity = 20%

Return on equity is an example of a profitability ratio.

Profitability ratios measure the ability of a firm to generate profits from its asset

g = 0.3 x 0.2 = 0.06 = 6%

Based on the information given  the sustainable growth rate is 6%.

Using this formula

Sustainable growth rate= ROE × Plowback ratio

Where:

ROE=20%

Plowback ratio=30%

Let plug in the formula

Sustainable growth rate = 0.20 × 0.30

Sustainable growth rate=0.06×100

Sustainable growth rate= 6.00%

There is a commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the line, and the interest rate on the borrowed funds is LIBOR 175 basis points. LIBOR is 3.0%. What is the effective annual borrowing rate on the line of credit

Answers

Answer:

2.44%

Explanation:

Average outstanding loan = $75,000,000

Total line of credit = $100,000,000

Unused portion = $25,000,000 ($100,000,000-$75,000,000)

Commitment fee = 0.25%

Interest rate = 3.175% (3+0.175%)

Commitment fee = Unused portion*Commitment fee rate

Commitment fee = $25,000,000*0.0025

Commitment fee = $62,500

Interest = Average outstanding balance*Interest rate

Interest = $75,000,000*0.03175

Interest = $2,381,250

Total borrowing cost = Commitment fee + Interest

Total borrowing cost = $62,500 + $2,381,250

Total borrowing cost = $2,443,750

Effective borrowing rate = Total borrowing cost / Credit limit

Effective borrowing rate = $2,443,750/$100,000,000

Effective borrowing rate = 0.0244375

Effective borrowing rate = 2.44%

You are considering buying one of two types of health insurance, both with the same premium. You guess that in the next year there is a 1 percent chance of serious illness that will cost you $67,500 in health care, a 9 percent chance of a moderate illness that will cost you $2,500, and a 90 percent chance of regular health care needs that will cost you $500. One type of health insurance is emergency-only coverage; it will cover your expenses for serious illness but not moderate illness or regular care. The other type covers moderate illness and regular expenses, but its payout is capped, so it will not cover the cost of a serious illness.

Required:
a. What is the expected value of payouts from the emergency-only insurance? $.
b. What is the expected value of payouts from the capped-coverage insurance? $.
c. Which is the more risk-averse option?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The expected value of payout arise from emergency is

= 0.01 × $67,500

= $675

b. The expected value of payout arise from capped coverage insuance is

= (0.9 × $500) + (0.09 × $2,500)

= $675

c. The risk averse shows the minimum exposure with respect to the swings of the income or there would be the loss in the income. Since the payout amount is same in both the cases so here we considered option B

Answer:

increase the money supply, but prices would forever be higher.

Explanation:

In this scenario, an economy starts in a long-run equilibrium, however a natural disaster such as drought kills crops and dramatically increases the price of food in the market. Thus, if the Federal Reserve wanted to stabilize the economy and return it back to full employment, it would increase the money supply, but prices would forever be higher.

Answers

Answer:

b. $21,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what January purchases budget is

PURCHASES BUDGET

Requirements for January $20,000

($50,000 x 0.40)

Add Desired January 31 inventory 6,000

($60,000 x 0.25 x 0.40)

Total requirements $26,000

($20,000+$6,000)

Less beginning inventory ($5,000)

January purchases budget $21,000

($26,000-$5,000)

Therefore January purchases budget is $21,000

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the cash outflow for merchandise is shown below:

Cost of Goods Sold $120,000

Less: Decrease in Inventory -$9,000

Purchases $111,000

Less: Increase in Accounts Payable -$10,000

Cash paid for Merchandise Inventory $121000

Hence, the  cash outflow for merchandise is $121,000

The above format should be applied

Suppose that you are considering purchasing an investment property for $30 million. The property is expected to have a year 1 net operating income of $1.8 million. You expect to finance the purchase of the property with a 30-year loan for 60% of the purchase price. If the annual interest rate on the loan is 5% with monthly payments and monthly compounding, what will the year 1 before-tax cash flow be for the property

Answers

Answer:

b. $640,465.32

Explanation:

Options include "$1,800,000, $640,465, ($132,558), $614,846, $704,512"

I/Y = 0.42% [5%/12]

N = 360 [12*30]

PV = -$18,000,000 [-30000000*60%]

FV = $0

So, we calculate the PMT using financial calculator

Monthly payment (CPT)  = PMT(I/Y. N, PV, FV)

Monthly payment (CPT)  = PMT(0.42%. 360, 18000000, 0)

Monthly payment (CPT)  = $96,627.89

Before-tax cash flow = Expected year 1 net operating income - 12*PMT

Before-tax cash flow = $1,800,000 - 12*$96,627.89

Before-tax cash flow = $1,800,000 - $1,159,534.68

Before-tax cash flow = $640,465.32

Cusic Music Company is considering the sale of a new sound board used in recording studios. The new board would sell for $24,700, and the company expects to sell 1,640 per year. The company currently sells 1,990 units of its existing model per year. If the new model is introduced, sales of the existing model will fall to 1,660 units per year. The old board retails for $23,100. Variable costs are 53 percent of sales, depreciation on the equipment to produce the new board will be $1,035,000 per year, and fixed costs are $3,250,000 per year. If the tax rate is 24 percent, what is the annual OCF for the project

Answers

Answer: $9,524,922

Explanation:

The annual OCF of the project will be calculated as

= EBIT + Depreciation - taxes

First, we have to calculate the EBIT which will be:

= [ $24,700 x 1,640 - ( 1,990-1,660 x $23,100 ]

= $40,508,000 - (330 × $23100)

= $40,508,000 - $7,623,000

= $ 32,885,000

Variable cost will then be:

= $32,885,000 × 53%

= $32,885,000 x 0.53

= $ 17,429,050

Therefore, EBIT will be:

= $32,885,000 - $ 17,429,050 - Fixed cost - depreciation

= $32,885,000 - $ 17,429,050 - $3,250,000 - $1,035,000

= $11,170,950

Then, we calculate the value of tax which will be:

= $11,170,950 x 0.24

= $2,681,028

Therefore, OCF will be:

= EBIT + Depreciation - taxes

= $11,170,950 + $1,035,000 - $2,681,028

= $9,524,922
