Answer:
The future amount after 5 years is equal to $8,036.04.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the future value (FV) formula as follows:
FV after 1 year = Invested amount * (100% + Year 1 interest rate)^Number of year = $5,000 * (100% + 9%)^1 = $5,450.00
FV after 2 years = FV after 1 year * (100% + Year 2 interest rate)^Number of year = $5,450 * (100% + 8%)^1 = $5,886.00
FV after 3 years = FV after 2 years * (100% + Year 3 interest rate)^Number of year = $5,886 * (100% + 12%)^1 = $6,592.32
FV after 4 years = FV after 3 years * (100% + Year 4 interest rate)^Number of year = $6,592.32 * (100% + 6%)^1 = $6,987.86
FV after 5 years = FV after 4 years * (100% + Year 5 interest rate)^Number of year = $6,987.86 * (100% + 15%)^1 = $8,036.04
Therefore, the future amount after 5 years is equal to $8,036.04.
Note: The number of year used in each of the calculation above is 1 because the interest was changing after one year.
When your father was born 48 years ago, his grandparents deposited $250 in an account for him. Today, that account is worth $36,500. What was the annual rate of return on this account
Answer:
10.94%
Explanation:
Your father was born 48 years ago
His grandfather deposited $250 in an account for him
Today the money is worth $36,500
The annual rate of his return can be calculated as follows
= 36500/250 ×1/48= (1+r/100)
= 146^0.020833= (1+r/100)
= 1.1094-1
= 0.10940×100
= 10.94%

The Acme Company is a perfect competitor in its input markets and its output market. Its average product of labor is at its maximum and equals 30. The marginal revenue product of labor is $300. The price of its output is $
Answer:
$10
Explanation:
The computation of the price of the output is given below;
As per the given data
At the time when the average product is maximum, so the average product is equivalent to the marginal product
Therefore, AP = MP= 30
MRP = 300
Now
MRP = MP × MR
300= 30 × MR
MR= 300 ÷ 30
= 10
So,
P= MR= 10
Tradable permits are likely to result in less inefficiency, relative to a pollution tax, when ... a. the marginal costs of damages are steep and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are relatively stable. b. the marginal costs of damages are steep and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are steep. c. the marginal costs of damages are relatively stable and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are relatively stable. d. the marginal costs of damages are relatively stable and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are steep. e. the marginal costs of damage are elastic and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are also elastic.
Answer:
a. the marginal costs of damages are steep and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are relatively stable.
Explanation:
Pollution can be defined as the physical degradation or contamination of the environment through an emission of harmful, poisonous and toxic chemical substances.
Offset trading refers to a type of trading system that is typically designed for the realization of more efficient pollution control.
This ultimately implies that, an offset trading is a strategic program that allows emerging business firms to pay existing business firms in order to significantly reduce their emissions or pollutants below a specific standard.
Free market in tradable pollution permits simply means giving manufacturing companies and individuals the legal right to pollution of the environment. For example, XYZ company is purchasing the permit of 500 units of carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution annually, this simply means it is permitted to pollute the environment by 500 units of CO2 annually.
Additionally, a free market in tradable pollution permits has some sort of benefits as companies can resell their unused permits or devise a cheaper means of reducing pollution. It also compensate companies that significantly reduces its pollution of the environment.
A pollution tax can be defined as a type of tax imposed on business firms that causes pollution and damages to the environment. It is also referred to as Pigovian tax which is a tax on goods with negative externality.
Hence, tradable permits when compared with pollution tax are likely to result in less inefficiency, when the marginal costs of damages are steep and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are relatively stable.

A security with only diversifiable risk has an expected return that exceeds the riskfree rate of return
State whether the following is inconsistent with an efficient capital market, the CAPM, or both:
Security with only diversifiable risk has an expected return that exceeds the riskfree rate of return
Answer:
This statement is inconsistent with both.
Explanation:
The statement made in the question is inconsistent with both the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and an efficient capital market because both models state that the cost of capital depends only on systematic risk or non-diversifiable risk. Thus the statement contradicts the models of the CAPM and Efficient Capital Market.
Under FINRA rules, if a member suspects that a senior citizen is being financially exploited: A a freeze can be placed on all disbursements from the account for up to 10 business days B a freeze can be placed for up to 10 business days on suspicious disbursements from the account, but not on other non-suspicious disbursements C a freeze can be placed on all disbursements from the account for up to 15 business days D a freeze can be placed for up to 15 business days on suspicious disbursements from the account, but not on other non-suspicious disbursements Review
Answer: D. a freeze can be placed for up to 15 business days on suspicious disbursements from the account, but not on other non-suspicious disbursements
Explanation:
Under FINRA rules, if a member suspects that a senior citizen is financially exploited, the following can occur:
• a freeze can for up to 15 business days can be placed on the suspicious disbursement.
• Another 10 days can be added in case if the review of a member is supported.
• The disbursements will be from the account, but not on the other non-suspicious disbursements.
Therefore, based on the above, the correct option is D.
g If the price elasticity of demand is 4, a 5 percent decrease in price will increase quantity demanded by
Answer: 20%
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand shows the increase in quantity demanded as a result of a decrease in price and vice versa.
It is calculated by the formula:
Price elasticity of demand = Change in quantity demanded / Change in price
The formula can therefore be used to find the increase in quantity. Price elasticities are usually denoted in negatives even if not shown so:
-4 = x / -5%
x = -4 * -5%
x = 20%
On January 1, 2021, Tennessee Harvester Corporation issued debenture bonds that pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31.

Therefore the face amount of the bonds is $7,100,000
2. Based on the information given the INITIAL SELLING PRICE of the bonds will be the beginning Outstanding balance of $5,694,713
Therefore Initial Selling Price of the bonds is $5,694,713
3. Calculation to determine the term to maturity in years
Term to maturity=40 years/2 (Semi annually)
Term to maturity=20 years
Therefore the term to maturity in years is 40 years
4. Interest is determined by EFFECTIVE INTEREST METHOD approach
5. Calculation to determine the stated annual interest rate
Annual interest rate=$213,000/$7,100,000*2
Annual interest rate=6%
Therefore the stated annual interest rate is 6%
6. Calculation to determine effective annual interest rate
Effective Annual interest rate=$227,789/$5,694,713*2
Effective Annual interest rate=8%
Therefore effective annual interest rate is 8%
7. Calculation to determine the total cash interest paid over the term to maturity
Total cash interest paid=$213,000*40
Total cash interest paid=$8,520,000
Therefore the total cash interest paid over the term to maturity is $8,520,000
8. Calculation to determine the total effective interest expense recorded over the term to maturity
Effective interest expense=$8,520,000+($7,100,000-$5,694,713)
Effective interest expense=$8,520,000+$1,405,287
Effective interest expense=$9,925,287
Therefore the total effective interest expense recorded over the term to maturity is $9,925,287

Zhao Co. has fixed costs of $354,000. Its single product sells for $175 per unit, and variable costs are $116 per unit. If the company expects sales of 10,000 units, compute its margin of safety in dollars and as a percent of expected sales.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units and sales dollars:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 354,000 / (175 - 116)
Break-even point in units= 6,000
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 354,000 / (59 / 175)
Break-even point (dollars)= $1,050,000
Now, the margin of safety and margin of safety rate:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= (10,000*175) - 1,050,000
Margin of safety= $700,000
Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level
Margin of safety ratio= 700,000 / 1,750,000
Margin of safety ratio= 0.4= 40%

Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
Hi, your question is incomplete, I tried to look for it online but I could not find it. Here is an explanation on the steps to solve the problem.
Step 1 : Determine the Total Materials Cost
Total Materials Cost
Opening WIP cost $310,000
Costs added during the period $40500
Total $350,500
Step 2 : Total Equivalent units for materials
Equivalent units for materials = Completed units + Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory.
Step 3 : Unit equivalent cost for materials
Unit equivalent cost = Total Cost ÷ Total equivalent units
Step 4 : ending work in process inventory cost
Ending work in process inventory = Unit equivalent cost x equivalent units in ending work in process with respect to materials
On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 4 years and a salvage value of $20000 was purchased for $84000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Annual depreciation (2nd year)= $16,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $84,000
Salvage value= $20,000
Useful life= 4 years
To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (Purchase price - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (84,000 - 20,000) / 4
Annual depreciation= $16,000
a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $616,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $180,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $40,000.
b. b. A machine costs $440,000, has a $32,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $90,000 per year after straight-line depreciation. Assume the company requires a 12% rate of return on its investments.
Required:
Compute the net present value of each potential investment.
Answer:
a. Net present value = $539,013.67
b. Net present value = $273,361.47
Explanation:
a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $616,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $180,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $40,000.
Annual depreciation = (Expected machine cost – Predicted salvage value) / Number of useful life = ($616,000 - $40,000) / 6 = $96,000
Annual cash inflows = Annual incremental after-tax income + annual depreciation = $180,000 + $96,000 = $276,000
Present value of the annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * ((1 - [1 / (1 + required rate of return)]^Number of years) / required rate of return) = $276,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^6) / 0.12) = $276,000 * 4.11140732352233 = $1,134,748.42
Present value of predicted salvage value = Predicted salvage value / (1 + required rate of return)^Number of years = $40,000 / (1 + 0.12)^6 = $20,265.24
Net present value = Present value of the annual cash inflow + Present value of predicted salvage value - Expected machine cost) = $1,134,748.42 + $20,265.24 - $616,000 = $539,013.67
b. A machine costs $440,000, has a $32,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $90,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Annual depreciation = (Machine cost – Salvage value) / Number of useful life = ($440,000 - $32,000) / 8 = $51,000
Annual cash inflows = Annual incremental after-tax income + annual depreciation = $90,000 + $51,000 = $141,000
Present value of the annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * ((1 - [1 / (1 + required rate of return)]^Number of years) / required rate of return) = $141,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^8) / 0.12) = $141,000 * 4.96763976683859 = $700,437.21
Present value of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + required rate of return)^Number of years = $32,000 / (1 + 0.12)^8 = $12,924.26
Net present value = Present value of the annual cash inflow + Present value of salvage value - Machine cost) = $700,437.21 + $12,924.26 - $440,000 = $273,361.47
The competitive industry of children's pajamas is in long-run equilibrium when a new government safety regulation raises the average cost of children's pajamas by $2 per pair. If this is a constant cost industry, then what happens to the price of children's pajamas in the long run?
Answer:
Long-run profits will remain the same.
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
