A researcher wants to test the order of integration of some time series data. He decides to use the DF test. He estimates a regression of the form
delta yt = mu + si yt-1 + mut
and obtains the estimate ˆ? = -0.02 with standard error = 0.31.
(a) What are the null and alternative hypotheses for this test?
(b) Given the data, and a critical value of -2.88, perform the test.
(c) What is the conclusion from this test and what should be the next step?
(d) Why is it not valid to compare the estimated test statistic with the corresponding critical value from a t-distribution, even though the test statistic takes the form of the usual t-ratio?
Answer:
a) H0: u = presence of a unit root
HA: u ≠ presence of a unit root ( i.e. stationary series )
b) t stat = -0.064
c) We will reject the Null hypothesis and the next step will be to accept the alternative hypothesis
d) It is not valid to compare the estimated t stat with the corresponding critical value because a random walk is non-stationary while the difference is stationary because it is white noise
Explanation:
a) stating the null and alternative hypothesis
H0: u = presence of a unit root
HA: u ≠ presence of a unit root ( i.e. stationary series )
b) performing the test
critical value = -2.88
T stat = coefficient / std error
= -0.02 / 0.31 = -0.064
c) From the test, the value of T stat > critical value we will reject the Null hypothesis hence the next step will be to accept the alternative hypothesis
d) It is not valid to compare the estimated t stat with the corresponding critical value because a random walk is non-stationary while the difference is stationary because it is white noise
You want to borrow $85,000 from your local bank to buy a new sailboat. You can afford to make monthly payments of $1,450, but no more. Assuming monthly compounding, what is the highest rate you can afford on a 72-month APR loan? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
7.02% per annum
Explanation:
The computation of the highest rate is shown below;
Given that
Present value be $85,000
PMT is $1,450
NPER is 72
Future value be $0
The formula is
=RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the rate should be 0.59% per month
Annually, it should be
= 0.59% × 12 months
= 7.02% per annum

The estimated factory overhead cost for a Co. is $1750000 for the year. Direct labor hours are estimated to be 500000. Determine: SHOW ALL WORK a. Predetermined factory overhead rate. $ b. Determine the factory overhead applied assume the actual direct labor hours for Job 50 was. 20000 and for J0b 51 was 24000 . c. Determine the balance in the factory overhead account assuming that the actual cost incurred was $153000. d. Over or under-applied
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,750,000 / 500,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $3.5 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to Job 50 and 51:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Job 50:
Allocated MOH= 3.5*20,000
Allocated MOH= $70,000
Job 51:
Allocated MOH= 3.5*24,000
Allocated MOH= $84,000
Finally, the under/over applied overhead:
(We weren't provided with enough information)
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
A university schedules summer school courses based on anticipated enrollment. The cost for faculty compensation, laboratories, student services, and allocated overhead for a computer class is $8500. If students pay $420 to enroll in the course, how large would enrollment have to be for the university to break even
Answer:
20 student
Explanation:
Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution
Break even point = $8,500 / $420
Break even point = 20.23809523809524
Break even point = 20 student
So, the enrollment will have to be for 20 student for the university to break even.
Green Thumb Nursery has 53,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $63.57 per share. The earnings per share are $3.57. The firm has total assets of $362,000 and total liabilities of $207,000. Today, the firm announced a share repurchase for $117,000 of its stock. What is the earnings per share after the repurchase
Answer: $3.70
Explanation:
Earnings per share = Net income / Number of shares
Net income = Earnings per share * Number of shares
= 3.57 * 53,000
= $189,210
The number of shares that Green Thumb bought back is:
= Stock repurchase amount / Market price of shares
= 117,000 / 63.57
= 1,840 shares
After the repurchase the number of shares is:
= 53,000 original shares - 1,840
= 51,160 shares
New EPS = 189,210 / 51,160
= $3.70
The cost of debt is equal to one minus the marginal tax rate multiplied by the average coupon rate on all outstanding debt. True False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
False, The given information is false because coupon rate is not required while calculating the cost of the debt. Only interest rate which is also called Yield to maturity and the marginal tax rate is needed to calculate the cost of debt.
Below is the formula:

Equal pay for equal work
Answer:
Wage bill (2016/2017)Which process plays an important role in advanced manufacturing processes?
Answer:
Innovative technology is used in advanced manufacturing to enhance products or processes, describing these technologies as "advanced," "innovative," or "cutting edges.
'Advanced manufacturing' increasingly incorporates in products and processes new, innovative technologies.
Explanation:
Selection of an appropriate production process often involves taking into account the complex combination of design, material, and process characteristics.
Although a common set of properties can clearly describe most materials, allowing for a certain design to be selected only based on these properties, the same is true only in part in the selection of processes.
Processes are often the most discriminating features of the class of process.
Supplies are assets until they are used. When they are used up, their costs are reported as expenses. The costs of unused supplies are recorded in a Supplies asset account. Supplies are often grouped by purpose—for example, office supplies and store supplies. Office supplies include paper, toner, and pens. Store supplies include packaging and cleaning materials.
Question Completion:
Describe the accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses.
Answer:
Supplies Expenses are debited while the Supplies account is credited with the supplies expenses.
Explanation:
This accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses reduces the balance of the Supplies account by the amount of supplies used during the period. Thus, what is left in the Supplies account is the cost of the unused supplies at the end of the accounting period. The treatment also accords with the accrual concept, which requires that expenses are matched to the revenues that they generate in the period.
What is the catch‑up effect concerning developed and developing countries? Developing countries never can catch up to developed countries. may grow faster than developed countries because they lack the most basic tools and capital investment leads to higher productivity growth. have greater productivity per unit of capital because they are better at developing new technologies. Developing countries have lower productivity per unit of capital because they are better at developing new technology.
Answer:
Developing countries may grow faster than developed countries because they lack the most basic tools and capital investment leads to higher productivity growth.
Explanation:
The catch‑up effect concerning developed and developing countries is that "Developing countries may grow faster than developed countries because they lack the most basic tools and capital investment leads to higher productivity growth."
This is based on the theory that the law of diminishing marginal returns will at some point occurred to the rate or level of investment at the national level, thereby leading to a slow-down effect on growth rates as the economy of a country matures.
Calculate the net present value in US$ of an investment in the health spa only, assuming that the 1,500-square-foot unit is purchased and then resold at the end of 12 years. (Hint: Before making your present value calculations, multiply all amounts expressed in CI$ by $1.25 to convert into US$.)
Answer: Hello I was able to find the Major part of the question online as attached below
answer :
Net present value ( NPV ) = $153353.91
Explanation:
NPV = ( Present value of Cash Inflow) - ( Present value of Cash outflow) -- ( 1 )
present value of cash inflow
i) cosmetic products = ( 5500 * 1.25 * 12) * ( 6.8137) (cost of capital )) = 562130.25
ii) land sale = ( 1500 * 300 * 1.25 ) * ( 0.8186 ) ( cost of capital )) = 179212.5
∑ present value of cash inflow = 741342.75
Present value of cash outflow ( other expenses )
∑ present value of cash outflow = 587,988.84
NPV = 741,342.75 - 587,988.84 = $153,353.91

1. Deirdre has one hour this afternoon in which she can either practice the piano for the upcoming school concert, work at
the library for $7 per hour, or babysit her neighbor's son for $10 per hour. Deirdre chooses to practice the piano, but
if she hadn't chosen to practice the piano, she would have chosen to babysit over working at the library. What is the
opportunity cost of Deirdre's decisions
A. The value gained from practicing the piano for an hour.
B. The value of babysitting her neighbor's son for an hour.
C. The value of working at the library for an hour.
D. The value of babysitting her neighbor's son and working at the library for an hour.
Answer:
The correct answer is B) The value of taking care of her neighbours son for 60 minutes.
Explanation:
Opportunity Cost belongs more in the parlance of microeconomics and is used to describe the idea that one cannot have everything all the time. There are alternative ends competing for limited means. In order words, when we decide to take a course of action, in the hope of achieving a thing or getting a reward, there is always another benefit forgone.
So knowing that there is an opportunity that was foregone helps the microeconomist to think carefully about what they want to achieve using the limited resources at their disposal.
Further simplified, if I have $5 dollars to spend, and that amount can purchase either a cupcake or a cup of ice cream, the one I chose to buy becomes the opportunity taken, whilst the alternative forgone is the opportunity cost.
Therefore, the cost of an item is not just the amount of money for which it was purchased, but all other alternatives with which the same amount could have been purchased.
In the question above, Deidre would have chosen to babysit her neighbor's son. That to her is the next best use of her time, and therefore the opportunity cost. According to the question, she wouldn't have worked in the library even if she had nothing else to do. Hence, that does not pass as opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost must be an alternative choice and is very subjective.

Matthewo wns an insurance policy (face amount of $1,630,000) on the life of Emily with Uma listed as the designated beneficiary. Of Emily dies first and the $1,630,000 is paid to Uma, how much is included in the following gross estates?
a. Matthew's gross estate?
b. Emily's gross estate?
Answer:
a. $0b. $0Explanation:
Matthew owns an insurance policy that has designated Uma as the beneficiary. If Emily dies, the money will go to Uma and not to Matthew so Matthew will not include any amount in his estate.
If Emily dies, no amount goes to her estate either because Emily was not the beneficiary, Uma was. Emily dying will simply lead to Uma's estate getting the money and not Emily's.

Using a value at risk (VaR) model based on historical data to forecast future expected losses works well:_______
a. all the time.
b. during times of normal market conditions.
c. during times of increased market volatility.
Answer:
b. during times of normal market conditions.
Explanation:
Using a value at risk (VaR) model based on historical data to forecast future expected losses works well: "during times of normal market conditions."
The above statement is true because VaR regardless of the models does not measure the drastic or uncertain situation. Also given that it is used based on historical data, then it is believed to work better on the assumption of normal circumstances.
Carroll Corporation has two products, Q and P. During June, the company's net operating income was $26,500, and the common fixed expenses were $57,000. The contribution margin ratio for Product Q was 40%, its sales were $142,000, and its segment margin was $49,000. If the contribution margin for Product P was $47,000, the segment margin for Product P was:_______.
Answer:
$34,500
Explanation:
Segment margin for Product P = Company`s Net Operating Income + Common Fixed Cost - Product Q Segment Margin
Therefore
Segment margin for Product P = $26,500 + $57,000 - $49,000
= $34,500

Porter Corporation has fixed costs of $660,000, variable costs of $24 per unit, and a contribution
margin ratio of 40 percent.
Compute the following:
a. Unit sales price and unit contribution margin for the above product.
b. The sales volume in units required for Porter Corporation to earn an operating income of
$300,000.
c. The dollar sales volume required for Porter Corporation to earn an operating income of
$300,000
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The unit sale price is
But before that the variable cost ratio is
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Now the unit sale price i
= $24 × 100% ÷ 60%
= $40
Now the contribution margin per unit is
= $40 - $24
= $16
b. the sales volume in units is
= Fixed cost + operating income ÷ contribution margin per unit
= ($660,000 + $300,000) ÷ $16
= 60,000 units
c. Sales volume in dollars is
= Fixed cost + operating income ÷ contribution margin ratio
= ($660,000 + $300,000) ÷ 40%
= $2,400,000

1. Given the following demand and supply functions Qd = 500 - 3P Qs = 100 + 5P Calculate; i. The equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity ii. The consumer surplus iii. The producer surplus)R
Given:
The demand and supply functions are:
[tex]Q_d=500-3P[/tex]
[tex]Q_s=100+5P[/tex]
To find:
i. The equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity.
ii. The consumer surplus .
iii. The producer surplus.
Explanation:
(i) At equilibrium, the demand and supply are equal. So, equating both functions, we get
[tex]500-3P=100+5P[/tex]
[tex]500-100=3P+5P[/tex]
[tex]400=8P[/tex]
Divide both sides by 8, we get
[tex]\dfrac{400}{8}=P[/tex]
[tex]50=P[/tex]
Putting [tex]P=50[/tex] in the demand function, we get
[tex]Q_d=500-3(50)[/tex]
[tex]Q_d=500-150[/tex]
[tex]Q_d=350[/tex]
Therefore, the equilibrium price is 50 and the equilibrium quantity is 350.
(ii)
The area under the demand curve and above the equilibrium price is known as consumer surplus. It is represent by the green area in the below figure.
The area of a triangle is:
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base \times height[/tex]
So, the area of consumer surplus is:
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 50 \times (500-350)[/tex]
[tex]A=25 \times 150[/tex]
[tex]A=3750[/tex]
Therefore, the consumer surplus is 3750.
(iii)
The area above the supply curve and below the equilibrium price is known as producer surplus. It is represent by the purple area in the below figure.
So, the area of producer surplus is:
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 50 \times (350-100)[/tex]
[tex]A=25 \times 250[/tex]
[tex]A=6250[/tex]
Therefore, the producer surplus is 6250.
Perpetual Life Corp. has issued consol bonds with coupon payments of $50. (Consols pay interest forever and never mature. They are perpetuities.)a. If the required rate of return on these bonds at the time they were issued was 5.0%, at what price were they sold to the public
Answer: $1,000
Explanation:
The price of a perpetual bond is calculated like a perpetuity and this is calculated by dividing the coupon payment of the bond by the prevailing required rate of return.
Price of this bond is:
= Coupon payment / Required return
= 50 / 5%
= $1,000
Carter Containers sold marketable securities, land, and common stock for $37.0 million, $13.0 million, and $35.0 million, respectively. Carter also purchased treasury stock, equipment, and a patent for $23.0 million, $23.0 million, and $10.2 million, respectively.
What amount should Carter report as net cash from investing activities? (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.5).)
Answer:
$16.8 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What amount should Carter report as net cash from investing activities
($ in millions)
Cash Flows from Investing Activities:
Proceeds from sale of marketable securities $37
Proceeds from sale of land $13
Less Purchase of equipment for cash ($23)
Less Purchase of patent for cash($10.2)
Net cash inflows (outflows) from investing activities $16.8
Therefore the amount that Carter should report as net cash from investing activities is $16.8 million
