Calculate the present value PV of an investment that will be worth $1,000 at the stated interest rate after the stated amount of time. HINT [See Quick Example 4.] (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) 15 years, at 3% per year, compounded annually
Answer:
$641.86
Explanation:
Future value = $1,000
Years = 15
Rate = 3%
The present value = FV*1/(1+i)^n
The present value = 1,000*1/(1+0.03)^15
The present value = 1,000*1/(1.03)^15
The present value = 1,000*1/1.5579674166
The present value = 1,000*0.6418619473970326
The present value = 641.8619473970326
The present value = $641.86
The present value of the investment is $641.86.
The present value of an investment is the value of the investment today. The present value can be determined by discounting the future value using the stated interest rate.
Present value = [tex]\frac{FV}{(1 + r)^{t} }[/tex]
FV = future value = $1000 r = interest rate = 3%t = time = 15[tex]\frac{1000}{(1.03)^{15} }[/tex] = $641.86

The demand for wooden pencils is very responsive to a change in price. That is, the demand for these pencils is highly elastic. Suppose that workers in this industry are successful in negotiating a higher wage from management. As a result:______
A. The price and quantity of pencils purchased will fall, and gross revenues will rise.
B. Price and quantity purchased will rise, and gross revenues will fall.
C. Price will fall, quantity purchased will rise, and gross revenues will rise.
D. Price will rise, quantity purchased will fall, and gross revenues will fall.
Answer:
D. Price will rise, quantity purchased will fall, and gross revenues will fall.
Explanation:
It will lead to a higher price of the good as the management has to take into consideration the amount to wages to be paid to the workers, thus increasing the price of the goods. This will result to a lower demand at a higher price because the price increases and competitions will take advantage of the situation and that will also reduce the revenue of the firm.

B. decreases GDP. C. doesn't change GDP because gambling is never included in GDP. D. doesn't change GDP because in either case his income is included.
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
In calculating GDP of a country, illegal activities like gambling, betting, proceeds of crime, buying and selling of drugs are nor counted in the computation of GDP.
GDP can be calculated as follows:

Assume the following capital structure: Preferred stock, 5%, $50 par value, 1,200 shares issued and outstanding with dividends in arrears for the three prior years. Common stock, $100 par value, 2,200 shares issued and outstanding. Total dividends declared and paid in current year were $52,000. How much of the current dividend will be paid to the preferred stockholders assuming the preferred stock is cumulative
Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
The computation of the preferred dividend in the case when the preferred stock is cumulative is given below:
= Dividend percentage × par value of each share × number of shares issued × number of years
= 5% × $50 × 1,200 shares × 4 years
= $12,000
Hence, the preferred dividend in the case when the preferred stock is cumulative is $12,000
ZeroSun Pictures is a Denver-based video production start-up agency. Imagine the founders are currently trying to decide between two cost structures, one that has a greater proportion of fixed costs (e.g., proprietary equipment), the other that is more heavily weighted to variable costs (e.g., leased equipment). Estimated revenue and cost data for each alternative is as follows:
Alternative #1 Alternative #2
Selling price per unit $100 $100
Variable cost per unit $85 $80
Fixed cost per year $40,000 $45,000
a. Under Alternative #1, what is the amount of revenues that would allow the company to breakeven?
b. What sales volume, in units, is needed for the total costs in each structure alternative to be the same?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Alternative #1 Alternative #2
Selling price per unit $100 $100
Variable cost per unit $85 $80
Fixed cost per year $40,000 $45,000
To calculate the break-even point in sales, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 40,000 / [(100 - 85) / 100]
Break-even point (dollars)= $266,666.67
Now, we can determine the sales volume for the two options:
Alternative 1:
Total cost= 40,000 + 85x
Alternative 2:
Total cost= 45,000 + 80x
x= number of units
40,000 + 85x = 45,000 + 80x
5x = 5,000
x= 1,000 units
The indifference point is 1,000 units.
Prove:
Total cost= 40,000 + 85*1,000= $125,000
Total cost= 45,000 + 80*1,000= $125,000
Let's examine the market for iPads. Assume iPads are a normal good, Microsoft Surfaces are a substitute, and Apple Pencils are a complement. If the price of silicon (a key component of iPads) increases, what would happen to Supply or Demand for iPads (all else held equal)?
Answer:
the supply curve for iPads would shift to the left, decreasing the quantity supplied at every price level. This shift would result in a price increase. Since the price of iPads increased, the demand will decrease, also decreasing the demand of Apple Pencils.
Since Microsoft Surface are substitutes, when the price of iPads increase, the demand for Surface tablets will increase.

Suppose the price of movie tickets changes. The price change leads to a 10 percent decrease in the quantity demanded of movie tickets. This causes the total revenue from movie tickets to increase by 5 percent. Is the demand for movie tickets elastic, inelastic, or unit-elastic
Answer:
inelastic
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Demand is inelastic because the change in total revenue is less than the change in price.
elasticity of demand = 5/10 = 0.5
Elasticity of demand is less than 1
Land was acquired in 2021 for a future building site at a cost of $40,800. The assessed valuation for tax purposes is $27,900, a qualified appraiser placed its value at $48,900, and a recent firm offer for the land was for a cash payment of $44,200. The land should be reported in the financial statements at:
Answer:
The land should be reported in the financial statement at $40,800
Explanation:
At the time the fixed asset is being recorded, it should be recorded at the purchase cost or historical price.
Since the land was purchased at $40,800 according to the question, also it is assessed for tax purpose at $27,900 and was valued at $48,900 by other appraisers including an offer of cash payment of $44,200.
But at the time of recording, the balance sheet would show at the price of $40,800
What are the benefits of training?
A manufacturer of tiling grout has supplied the following data: Kilograms produced and sold 480,000 Sales revenue $ 1,830,000 Variable manufacturing expense $ 942,000 Fixed manufacturing expense $ 230,000 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 358,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 196,000 Net operating income $ 104,000 The company's contribution margin ratio is closest to:
Answer:
$28.96%
Explanation:
Given the above information, we would calculate first the total variable cost
Total variable cost = Variable manufacturing selling expense + Variable selling and administrative expense
= $942,000 + $358,000
= $1,300,000
The next is to compute the contribution margin
Contribution margin = Sales - Total variable cost
= $1,830,000 - $1,300,000
= $530,000
Therefore,
Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin / Sales) × 100
= ($530,000 / $1,830,000) × 100
= 28.96%
Brooklyn Cabinets is a manufacturer of kitchen cabinets. The two cabinetry styles manufactured by Brooklyn are contemporary and farmhouse. Contemporary style cabinets sell for $90 and farmhouse style cabinets sell for $85. Each cabinet produced must go through carpentry, painting, and fiishing processes. The following table summarizes how much time in each process must be devoted to each style of cabinet.
Hours per process
Style Carpentry Painting Finishing
Contemporary 2.0 1.5 1.3
Farmhouse 2.5 1.0 1.2
Carpentry costs $15 per hour, painting costs $12 per hour, and fiishing costs $18 per hour, and the weekly number of hours available in the processes is 3000 in carpentry, 1500 in painting, and 1500 in fiishing. Brooklyn also has a contract that requires the company to supply one of its customers with 500 contemporary cabinets and 650 farmhouse style cabinets each week.
Let
x = the number of contemporary style cabinets produced each week
y = the number of farmhouse style cabinets produced each week
a. Develop the objective function, assuming that Brooklyn Cabinets wants to maximize the total weekly profit.
b. Show the mathematical expression for each of the constraints on the three processes.
Hours available in carpentry: x1 + y1 ≤
Hours available in painting: x2 + y2 ≤
Hours available in fiishing: x3 + y3 ≤
c. Show the mathematical expression for each of Brooklyn Cabinets' contractual agreements.
Answer:
a) Objective Function:
P = $18.6x + $13.9y
b)
1. 2x + 2.5y [tex]\leq[/tex] 3000 For Carpentry
2. 1.5x +1.0 y [tex]\leq[/tex] 1500 For Painting
3. 1.3x + 1.2y [tex]\leq[/tex] 1500 For Finishing
c)
x [tex]\geq[/tex] 500
y [tex]\geq[/tex] 650
Explanation:
Data Given:
Contemporary Style Cabinets Sells For = $90
Farmhouse Style Cabinets Sell For = $85
Hours per process:
For Contemporary:
Time for Carpentry = 2.0
Time for Painting = 1.5
Time for Finishing = 1.3
Similarly,
for Farmhouse Cabinet style:
Time for Carpentry = 2.5
Time for Painting = 1.0
Time for Finishing = 1.2
Costing for Processes:
Carpentry = $15/hr
Painting = $12/hr
Finishing = $18/hr
Availability of hours in the week:
Carpentry = 3000 hours
Painting = 1500 hours
Finishing = 1500 hours
Orders for Cabinets in the week:
Contemporary Cabinets = 500 units/week
Farmhouse Style = 650 units/week
Suppose,
x = number of contemporary style cabinets
y = number of Farmhouse cabinets
Step 1:
We need to calculate the total cost of the cabinets first.
Cost of Contemporary Style:
(2 x $15) + (1.5 x $12) + (1.3 x $18) = $71.4/cabinet
Similarly,
Cost of Farmhouse Style:
(2.5 x $15) + (1 x $12) + (1.2 x $18) = $71.1/cabinet
We know that the selling price of Contemporary and Farmhouse cabinets is $90 and $85 respectively. So, we can calculate the profit of both the cabinets.
For Contemporary Style:
Profit = ($90-$71.4) =$18.6
For Farmhouse Style:
Profit = ($85-$71.1)= $13.9
a) Objective Function for the maximization of the profit:
We know that x represents contemporary style and y represents farmhouse style. So, the profit is the basically the objective function. So.,
Objective Function:
P = $18.6x + $13.9y
b) Mathematical Expression for the constraints, which are:
1. 2x + 2.5y [tex]\leq[/tex] 3000 For Carpentry
2. 1.5x +1.0 y [tex]\leq[/tex] 1500 For Painting
3. 1.3x + 1.2y [tex]\leq[/tex] 1500 For Finishing
c) Mathematical Expression for Contracts:
x [tex]\geq[/tex] 500
y [tex]\geq[/tex] 650
Ben Collins plans to buy a house for $166,000. If the real estate in his area is expected to increase in value by 2 percent each year, what will its approximate value be five years from now?
Answer:
$183,264
Explanation:
The computation of the expected value for the five years from now is as followS:
As we know that
Future value = Present value × FV Value Factor
= $166,000 × 1.104
= $183,264
We simply multiplied the present value with the factor of the future value to determine the future value
Assume that you open a 100 share short position in Jiffy Inc. common stock at the bid-ask price of $32.00 - $32.50. When you close your position the bid-ask prices are $32.50 - $33.00. If you pay a commission rate of 0.5%, calculate your profit or loss on the investment position
Answer:
There is a net loss of $132.50
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the cash flows at the time of open the position and close the position.
Cash outflow
Cash flow from opening the position = Value of position + Commission
Where
Value of position = Numbers of shares - opening value per stock = 100 x 33 = $3,300
Commision = 100 x 33 x 0.5% = $16.50
Placing values in the formula
Cash flow from opening the position = $3,300 + $16.50 = $3,316.50
Cash inflow
Cash flow from Closing the position = Value of position - Commission
Where
Value of position = Numbers of shares - opening value per stock = 100 x 32 = $3,200
Commision = 100 x 32 x 0.5% = $16
Placing values in the formula
Cash flow from opening the position = $3,200 - $16 = $3,184
Now calculate the profit or loss on the position
Net profit / loss = Cashinflow - Cash outflow = $3,184 - $3,316.50
Net Loss = $132.50

RKI Instruments borrowed $4,100,000 from a private equity firm for expansion of its facility for manufacturing carbon monoxide monitors. The company repaid the loan after 1 year with a single payment of $5,325,000. What was the interest rate on the loan
Answer:
29.88%(30% when rounded to the nearest whole percentage)
Explanation:
The amount borrowed was the present value of the loan while the amount repaid was the future value of the loan, hence, considering the relationship between the present value and the future value, we can determine the interest rate on the loan as shown thus:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
FV=future value=the repayment=$5,325,000
PV=present value=loan amount= $4,100,000
r=rate of interest=the unknown
n=the duration of the loan=1 year
$5,325,000= $4,100,000*(1+r)^1
$5,325,000/$4,100,000=1+r
r=($5,325,000/$4,100,000)-1
r=1.298780488 -1
r=29.88%
The opportunity cost of an action is always equal to: multiple choice the things you could have done instead of the action you chose to undertake. the time you give up to undertake the action. the money you give up to undertake the action. the next-best alternative for the resources used to undertake the action.
Answer:
the next-best alternative for the resources used to undertake the action.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.
Simply stated, it is the cost of not enjoying the benefits, profits or value associated with the alternative forgone or best alternative choice available.
For instance, if you decide to invest resources such as money in a food business (restaurant), your opportunity cost would be the profits you could have earned if you had invest the same amount of resources in a salon business or any other business as the case may be.
Hence, the opportunity cost of an action is always equal to the next-best alternative for the resources used to undertake the action.
g The Nelson Company has $1,312,500 in current assets and $525,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $385,000, and it will raise funds as additional notes payable and use them to increase inventory. How much can Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) increase without pushing its current ratio below 2.0
Answer:
$262,500
Explanation:
Current ratio = Current asset/Current liabilities
In line with the current ratio formula, to calculate the amount of short term debt increase, with the amount of current assets and current liabilities, we must add an amount such that the result 2.0
(1,312,500 + x) / (525,000 + x) = 2.0
Cross multiply
(1,312,500 + x) = 2.0 × (525,000 + x)
Open the brackets
1,312,500 + x = 1,050,000 + 2x
Collect like terms
1,312,500 - 1,050,000 = 2x - x
262,500 = x
It therefore means that the maximum that should be borrowed to buy inventory is $262,500

Three years ago, Charles purchased a health policy from the QRS Company; he has purchased two additional contracts from the same insurer since. Each contract contains the Other Insurance With This Insurer Provision. What happens if Charles has a claim
Answer: a. Only one policy will pay, the premiums for the other contracts will be returned.
Explanation:
When there are multiple insurance contracts from the same insurer and these contracts have a ''Other Insurance With This Insurer'' provision, it means that in cases where the insured wants to claim, they can choose whichever of the policies they want and that one will pay out but they cannot pick them all.
The premiums paid on the other contracts/s will be returned to the insured because it represents excess coverage.
State if each of the following statements is true or false. Justify your answer. Decision trees can help identify and describe real options. The option to expand increases PV. High abandonment value decreases PV.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The first statement is true as the technique of the decision tree would be represented as a tree-shaped for the possible outcomes also it would help to understand the risk attached with the projects plus it would also provide the options
b. The second statement is true as the present value is the value of the today it would be discounted with the cash flows in order to calculate the present value. If the company has more capital so it would increase in the cash flows so that the investment would be covered up
c. The third statement is false as the abandonment value is the sales value that would be sold immediately. It is not related with the present value also if there is high abandonment value so it would not decrease the present value
