You have just applied for a 30-year $100,000 mortgage at a rate of 10%. What must the annual payment be? *Make sure to input all currency answers without any currency symbols or commas, and use two decimal places of precision.
Answer: $10,607.92
Explanation:
The annual payment will be constant which means that it is an annuity.
The mortgage value is therefore the present value of the annuity.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - (1 + rate) ^ -number of years) / rate
100,000 = Annuity * ( 1 - (1 + 10%) ^ -30) / 10%
100,000 = Annuity * 9.4269144669883
Annuity = 100,000 / 9.4269144669883
= $10,607.92

Budgeted production for product ZZZ during the month is a.416,000 units b.412,600 units c.599,800 units d.431,100 units
Answer:
The correct option is b.412,600 units.
Explanation:
Given:
Product XXX Product ZZZ
Estimated beginning inventory 29,000 units 18,500 units
Desired ending inventory 34,800 units 15,100 units
Region I, anticipated sales 344,000 units 273,000 units
Region II, anticipated sales 192,000 units 143,000 units
Therefore, we have:
Estimated beginning inventory for product ZZZ = 18,500 Units
Desired ending inventory for product ZZZ = 15,100 Units
Total anticipated sale at regions I and II= Region I, anticipated sales + Region II, anticipated sales = 273,000 + 143,000 = 416,000 units
Budgeted production for product ZZZ during the month = Total anticipated sale at regions I and II + Desired ending inventory for product ZZZ - Estimated beginning inventory for product ZZZ = 416,000 + 15,100 - 18,500 = 412,600 units
Therefore, the correct option is b.412,600 units.

Assume that, on January 1, 2021, Sosa Enterprises paid $2,140,000 for its investment in 33,000 shares of Orioles Co. Further, assume that Orioles has 110,000 total shares of stock issued and estimates an eight-year remaining useful life and straight-line depreciation with no residual value for its depreciable assets. At January 1, 2021, the book value of Orioles' identifiable net assets was $7,160,000, and the fair value of Orioles was $10,000,000. The difference between Orioles' fair value and the book value of its identifiable net assets is attributable to $1,900,000 of land and the remainder to depreciable assets. Goodwill was not part of this transaction. The following information pertains to Orioles during 2021: Net Income $ 400,000 Dividends declared and paid $ 240,000 Market price of common stock on 12/31/2021 $ 80 /share What amount would Sosa Enterprises report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet for its investment in Orioles Co.
Answer:
$2,152,750
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What amount would Sosa Enterprises report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet for its investment in Orioles Co.
Acquisition price for 30% share $2,140,000
($33,000 / $110,000 * 100=30%)
Add: Net income $120,000
($ 400,000 * 30%)
Less: Dividend ($72,000)
($240,000 * 30%)
Less: Excess depreciation ($35,250)
($940,000 / 8 yrs*30%)
[$10,000,000-$7,160,000-$1,900,000)=$940,000]
Investment reported in Balance $2,152,750
Therefore the amount that Sosa Enterprises would report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet for its investment in Orioles Co is $2,152,750
Blue Manufacturing produces lathes at an inventory cost of $25,000 each that sell for $32,000 each. For credit-approved customers, Blue leases the lathes for $8,500 per year for five years. The lathes are guaranteed to last four years and generally have a six-year life. Collection is predictable and reasonably assured. Additionally, the lessor is aware of all costs to be incurred under the lease that will not be reimbursed by the lessor. What is the financing profit of Blue Manufacturing on a leased lathe

Let plug in the formula
Basic earnings per share=$276,915/(57,000 + (27,000 × 9/12))
Basic earnings per share=$276,915/(57,000+20,250)
Basic earnings per share=$276,915/77,250
Basic earnings per share= $3.58
(April 1 to December 31 =9 months)
Therefore Basic earnings per share is $3.58
Consider the following account starting balances and transactions involving these accounts. Use T-accounts to record the starting balances and the offsetting entries for the transactions. The starting balance of Cash is $9,100 The starting balance of Inventory is $4,800 The starting balance of Retained Earnings is $24,700 1. Sell product for $30 in cash with historical cost of $24 2. Sell, deliver, and receive payment of $40 for service 3. Consume good or service and pay expense of $2 What is the final amount in Retained Earnings

Sale price per unit = $11 per unit
Order size = (Desired profit + Machine cost) / Contribution margin per unit
Order size = ($1,075 + $625) / ($11 - $9)
Order size = $1,700 / $2
Order size = 850 units
So therefore, if Minor wishes to earn $1,075 on the special order, the size of the order would need to be 850 units.

Price ceilings will likely result in the development of black markets. increase production as producers respond to higher consumer demand at the low ceiling price. increase the volume of transactions as we move along the demand curve. result in the accumulation of surpluses.
Answer: result in the development of black markets.
Explanation:
Price ceilings are limits on the price that can be charged for a good or service. This means that suppliers will be unable to charge a certain price regardless of the cost incurred to produce that good.
Supplier usually respond to this by producing less goods and services which would leave a shortage in the market. This shortage will result in a black market where the prices the good will then be sold at will be higher than the price ceiling as people try to get the now relatively scarce goods and services.
