Answer:
a. Rate of return = 94.51%
b. Rate of return = 1.68%
Explanation:
a. A market value–weighted index
Total market value at time 0 = Market value of Stock A at time 0 + Market value of Stock B at time 0 + Market value of Stock C at time 0 = ($99 * 100) + ($59 * 200) + ($118 * 20) = $24,060
Total market value at time 1 = Market value of Stock A at time 1 + Market value of Stock B at time 1 + Market value of Stock C at time 1 = ($104 * 100) + ($54 * 200) + ($128 * 200) = $46,800
Rate of return = (Total market value at time 1 / Total market value at time 0) – 1 = ($46,800 / $24,060) - 1 = 0.9451, or 94.51%
b. An equally weighted index
Return on a Stock for the first period = (P1 / P0) - 1 …………. (1)
Therefore, we have:
Return on Stock A for the first period = ($104 / $99) - 1 = 0.0505, or 5.05%
Return on Stock B for the first period = ($54 / $59) - 1 = - 0.0847, or - 8.47%
Return on Stock C for the first period = ($128 / $118) - 1 = 0.0847, or 8.47%
Therefore, we have:
Return of return = (Return on Stock A for the first period + Return on Stock B for the first period + Return on Stock C for the first period) / 3 = (5.05% - 8.47% + 8.47%) / 3 = 1.68%
Suppose a newly elected president cuts taxes by 20 percent: i. Assuming that the money supply is held constant, what are the new equilibrium interest rate and income
Answer: hello your question has some missing information below is the missing information
An economy is initially described by the following equations:
C = 80 + 0.8(Y – T)
I = 120 –5r
M/P = Y – 25r
G = 100
T = 100
M = 2,700
P = 3
answer :
equilibrium interest rate ( r ) = 5.6%
equilibrium level of income = 1040
Explanation:
a) New equilibrium interest rate
T = 100 - 20/100 ( 100 ) = 80
Y = C + I + G
= 80 + 0.8( y - 80 ) + 120 - 5r + 100
= 236 + 0.8y - 5r
y = 1180 - 25r ------ ( 1 )
M/P = Y - 25r = 2700 / 3
y = 900 + 25r ------- ( 2 )
equate; equation ( 1 ) and equation ( 2 )
1180 - 25r = 900 + 25r
∴ r = 5.6%
b) Equilibrium level of Income
To determine Equilibrium level of income we will use equation2
Y = 900 + 25(5.6) = 1040
Mcdormand inc reported a 3400 unfavorable price variance for variable overhead and a $34,000 nfavorable price variance for fixed overhead. The flexible budget had variable overhead based on 36,100 direct labor-hours; only 34,100 hours were worked. Total actual overhead was $1,810,400. The number of estimated hours for computing the fixed overhead application rate totaled 37,500 hours.
Required:
a. Prepare a variable overhead analysis.
b. Prepare a fixed overhead analysis.
Answer:
A. Variable overhead price variance 3400 U
Variable overhead efficiency variance 60000 F
Variable overhead cost variance 56600 F
B. Fixed overhead price variance 34000 U
Production volume variance 28000 U
Fixed overhead cost variance 62000 U
Explanation:
a. Preparation of a variable overhead analysis.
Variable overhead price variance = 3400 U
Calculation for Variable overhead efficiency variance
First step is to calculate the Actual input at standard rate
Actual input at standard rate = (34100*30)
Actual input at standard rate= 1023000
Second step is to calculate the Standard rate
Standard rate = 1083000/36100
Standard rate=30
Now let calculate Variable overhead efficiency variance
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (1083000-1023000)
Variable overhead efficiency variance = 60000 F
Calculation for Variable overhead cost variance
Variable overhead cost variance = (60000-3400)
Variable overhead cost variance= 56600 F
Therefore the variable overhead analysis will be:
Variable overhead price variance 3400 U
Variable overhead efficiency variance 60000 F
Variable overhead cost variance 56600 F
b. Preparation of a fixed overhead analysis.
Fixed overhead price variance = 34000 U
Calculation for Production volume variances
First step is to calculate Actual input at standard rate
Actual input at standard rate= 34100*30
Actual input at standard rate= 1023000
Second step is to calculate Fixed overhead actual
Fixed overhead actual= 1810400-(1023000+3400)
Fixed overhead actual= 784000
Third step is to calculate Budgeted fixed overhead
Budgeted fixed overhead = (784000-34000)
Budgeted fixed overhead = 750000
Fourth step is to calculate Fixed overhead applied
Fixed overhead applied= (750000/37500)*36100
Fixed overhead applied= 722000
Now let calculate Production volume variance
Production volume variance = (750000-722000) Production volume variance= 28000 U
Calculation to determine Fixed overhead cost variance
Fixed overhead cost variance = (28000+34000) Fixed overhead cost variance= 62000 U
Therefore fixed overhead analysis will be:
Fixed overhead price variance 34000 U
Production volume variance 28000 U
Fixed overhead cost variance 62000 U
Lemon Corporation purchased a truck at the beginning of 2017 for $109,200. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $4,200 and a useful life of 120,000 miles. It was driven 21,000 miles in 2017 and 29,000 miles in 2018. What is the depreciation expense for 2017
Answer:
the depreciation expense for 2017 is $18,375
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 is shown below:
= (Truck cost - salvage value) ÷ useful life in miles × driven miles in year 2017
= ($109,200 - $4,200) ÷ 120,000 miles × 21,000 miles
= $18,375
Hence, the depreciation expense for 2017 is $18,375
Therefore the above formula should be applied for the same
The race to the bottom scenario of global environmental degradation is explained roughly like this: a. Companies seek to reduce their costs of operations on plant and equipment design and this results in higher levels of pollution. b. Companies seek the lowest market prices on products in order to gain market share, resulting in inferior goods and increased waste and pollution. c. Profit-seeking multinational companies shift their production from countries with strong environmental standards to countries with weak standards, thus reducing their costs and increasing their profits. d. Companies seek to influence environmental legislation standards are set to the lowest possible standards in the USA in order to maximize profits.
Answer:
The answer is "Option c".
Explanation:
When there is racing to a bottom scenario, this should be stated that the multinationals looking for profit are shifting production from such countries with strict environmental regulations to minimize the order, thus generating revenue, that's why the profit-based corporations relocate their manufacturing from strong environmental regulations to low standard countries and thereby lower their costs and increase profits.
The following data relate to Lebeaux Corporation for the year just ended: Sales revenue $ 750,000 Cost of goods sold: Variable portion 370,000 Fixed portion 110,000 Variable selling and administrative costs 50,000 Fixed selling and administrative cost 75,000 Which of the following statements is correct?
A) Lebeaux's variable-costing income statement would show a gross margin of $270,000.
B) Lebeaux's variable costing income statement would show a contribution margin of $330,000.
C) Lebeaux's absorption-costing income statement would show a contribution margin of $330,000.
D) Lebeaux's absorption costing income statement would show a gross margin of $330,000.
E) Lebeaux's absorption-costing income statement would show a gross margin of $145,000.
Answer:
B) Lebeaux's variable costing income statement would show a contribution margin of $330,000.
Explanation:
See below the Statements that are produced under Absorption and Variable Costing methods.
Absorption Costing
Sales revenue $750,000
Less Cost of goods sold :
Variable portion $370,000
Fixed portion $110,000 ($480,000)
Gross Profit $270,000
Variable Costing
Sales revenue $750,000
Less Variable Costs :
Variable portion - Cost of Sales $370,000
Variable selling and administrative costs $50,000 ($420,000)
Contribution $330,000
therefore,
The only correct statement is : Lebeaux's variable costing income statement would show a contribution margin of $330,000
Best Brands Appliance Mart is getting ready for its annual Labor Day sale. There are two Best Brands stores, one in midtown Manhattan and another in Amityville. Merchandise is stored in two warehouses, one in Brooklyn and one in Baldwin. From experience in past years, the owners know the big mover during the sale is tablets. The Manhattan store needs 500, while the Amityville store will require 400. Each warehouse has 600 tablets in stock. It costs $1 and $2 to ship a tablet from Brooklyn to Manhattan and to Amityville, and $2 and $4 to ship one from Baldwin to Manhattan and Amityville. What is the best shipping strategy for getting the tablets from the warehouses into the stores to minimize the shipping cost?
Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information:
Assuming we represent x to be the tablets sent from Brooklyn to Manhattan
Thus, (500 - x) to be the tablets sent from Baldwin to Manhattan
Also, suppose we represent y to be the tablets sent from Brooklyn to Amityville
It implies that (400 - x) to be the tablets sent from Baldwin to Amityville
∴
x ≥ 0 ; y ≥ 0
⇒ 500 - x ≥ 0 & 400 - y ≥ 0
The Shipping cost Z = 1(x) + 2(500-x) + 2(y) + 4(400-y)
Z = x + 1000 - 2x + 2y + 1600 - 4y
Z = x -2y + 2600
To minimize the shipping cost:
[tex]\left \{ 500-x \geq 0 \ \implies \ x\leq 500}} \atop {400-y \geq 0 \ \implies \ y\leq 400}} \right.[/tex]
Thus, by replacing the coordinate values (x,y) into Z, we have:
Point Coordinates(x,y) Value of Z (shipping cost)
0 (0,0) 0
A (0,400) 1800
B (500,400) 1300
C (500,0) 2100
Hence, the minimum cost is 1300.
x = 500 units and y = 400 units
In 2008, 1 Swiss franc cost .56 British pounds and in 2010 it cost .51 British pounds in 2010. How much would 1 British pound purchase in Swiss francs in 2008 and 2010
Answer:
1.78 Swiss franc
1.96 Swiss franc
Explanation:
Below is the calculation:
In the year 2008, 1 Swiss franc cost = 0.56 British pounds
In the year 2010, 1 Swiss franc cost = 0.51 British pounds
Now calculate the Swiss frac purchase by 1 bristish pound.
In the year 2008, 1 British pound will purchase = 1 / 0.56 = 1.78 Swiss franc
In the year 2010, 1 British pound will purchase = 1 / 0.51 = 1.96 Swiss franc

Non-executive directors.
Explanation:
The non-executive directors of a company's board of directors are board members without management responsibilities. They are also referred to as independent or external directors since they are not involved in the daily running of the entity. They are different from executive directors in so many ways. Given their unique positions, they bring broader insight and perspective to the board of directors, helping the entity to set strategic directions. They also play independent roles in board sub-committees, especially remuneration, audit, risk, and performance monitoring.
You are a delivery manager introducing a new product from your unit to the market. What steps should you take to mitigate any IP risks in your product?
Answer:
Explanation:
There are various steps that you should take to make sure that your product does not violate any IPs. First, you should make sure that those involved with the product sign an NDA. This document prevents these individuals from talking about the product with others, which prevents it's details from leaking and allowing competitors to beat you to market by releasing their own version of your product first. The other step that you should take would be to patent the design and trademark the name of the product. Doing so will make sure that the product is unique and that it does not interfere with already existant IP's, as well as preventing others from infringing on your product.

Instead of investing a lump of sum of $25000,Brittany Royer decides to svae the money in a vault for 2years. Assuming the inflation being 2.5%per year,how much will her purchasing power decline in 2years
Answer:
$1265.63
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels
Types of inflation
1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise
2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect
Loss in purchasing value = future value of the amount saved - amount saved
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
$25000 (1.025)² = $26.265.625
Amount lost = $26.265.625 - $25,000 = $1265.63
g What is the after-tax yield on a one-year corporate bond with a 7 percent yield if your marginal federal income tax rate is 40% 2.8% 4.2% 5% 5.3% 6.2%
Answer: 4.2%
Explanation:
Bonds are debt instruments which means that the interest paid on bonds is tax deductible. After the tax is deducted, the after tax yield shows the actual yield being paid on the bond given the tax rate.
The after tax yield on a bond is calculated by the formula:
= Before tax yield * ( 1 - Tax rate)
= 7% * ( 1 - 40%)
= 4.2%
XYZ Company uses a weighted-average process costing system. All materials at XYZ are added at the end of the production process. Equivalent units for materials at XYZ would be equal to:
Answer:
Equivalent units for materials at XYZ would be equal to the addition of units in beginning work in process and the units started.
Explanation:
A weighted-average process costing system refers to a process costing system in which expenses are averaged out and applied evenly to both units transferred out and units in ending work in process.
An equivalent unit of production is a measurement of the amount of work done by a manufacturer on partially completed units of output at the end of a fiscal period. In general, fully completed units and partially completed units are expressed as fully completed units.
When a weighted-average process costing system is being used, the equivalent units is obtained as the addition of units in beginning work in process and the units started.
Therefore, equivalent units for materials at XYZ would be equal to the addition of units in beginning work in process and the units started.

SOX requires the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and which corporate officer to certify the accuracy of the financial statements?
Answer:
SOX requires the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to certify the accuracy of the financial statements.
Explanation:
This requirement ensures the public accountability of the top chief executive officers of publicly-traded companies. The CEO is at the helm of affairs of the company, while the CFO has responsibility for the financial records, which produced the financial statements. This is the reason that the two top managers are required to sign off the financial statements, thus, vouching their accuracy.
In the interest formulas, a simple interest can be used in any of the single payment formulas as long as the 'n values correspond to the interest period?
A) True
B) False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Apart from simple interest, compound interest can be used for single payments
the formula for compound interest is : future value - present value
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
The formula for simple interest : amount x time x interest rate
Assume that 1000 is to be received in 2 years at the interest rate of 10%
Simple interest = 1000 x 2 x 0.1 = 200
Compound interest
1000 x (1.1)^2 = 1210
1210 = 1000 = 210
