A series of five constant-dollar (or real-dollar) uniform payment of $897.63 is made begining at the end of first year. Assume that the general inflation rate is 18.3% and the market interest rate is 18.3% during this inflationary period.
The equivalent present worth of the series is:_________.
Answer:
The equivalent present worth of the series is $4,182.21
Explanation:
Fix periodic payments for a specific period of time are annuity payment and the payments made at the start of each period is known as advance annuity.
As per given data
Inflation per year = 18.3% / 5 = 3.66%
numbers of period = 5 years
Payment per period = $897.63
Use following formula to calculate the present value of annuity payments
PV of annuity = P x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n / r
Where
P = Payment per period = $897.63
r = rate in of interest = 3.66%
n = numbers of periods = 5 years
Placing values in the formula
Equivalent present worth of the series = $897.63 + $897.63 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 3.66% )^-(5-1) / 3.66% )
Equivalent present worth of the series = $4,182.21
Suppose that the world price of oil is $70 per barrel and that the United States can buy all the oil it wants at this price. Suppose also that the demand and supply schedules for oil in the United States are as follows:Price ($ Per Barrel) U.S. Quantity Demanded) U.S. Quantity Supplied68 16 470 15 672 14 874 13 1076 12 12a) Draw the supply and demand curve for the United Statesb) With free trade in oil, what price will Americans pay for their oil? What quantity will Americans buy? How much of this will be supplied by American producers? How much will be imported?
Answer:
The supply and demand curves for the United States are shown in the graphs attached.
Explanation:
Free trade in oil implies that a country in the international oil market can import as much oil as it wants and export as much oil as it wants.
The costs of demand and the revenues obtained in each case are given below:
QD1 cost = 68 × 70 = $4,760
QS1 revenue = 16 × 70 = $1,120
QD2 cost = 470 × 70 = $32,900
QS2 revenue = 15 × 70 = $1,050
QD3 cost = 672 × 70 = $47,040
QS3 revenue = 14 × 70 = $980
QD4 cost = 874 × 70 = $61,180
QS4 revenue = 13 × 70 = $910
QD5 cost = 1076 × 70 = $75,320
QS5 revenue = 12 × 70 = $840

Determine the overhead allocated to Job XZ3275 which has 150 pieces, requires 200 miles of driving, and 0.75 hours of logistics.
Answer:
Total allocation= $318.25
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Loading and unloading: Number of pieces - $85,785 - 90,300
Travel: Miles driven - $468,000 - 585,000
Logistics: Hours - $65,520 - 3,120
Determine the overhead allocated to Job XZ3275 which has 150 pieces, requires 200 miles of driving, and 0.75 hours of logistics.
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for each activity:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Loading and unloading= 85,785/90,300= $0.95 per piece
Travel= 468,000/585,000= $0.8 per mile
Logistics= 65,520/3,120= $21 per hour
Finally, we can allocate overhead to Job XZ3275:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Loading and unloading= 0.95*150= $142.5
Travel= 0.8*200= $160
Logistics= 21*0.75= $15.75
Total allocation= $318.25

The data she is using are from primary research sources.
Elasticity and Demand for Food
A. Consider the information on real-world price elasticities for ten countries. Why do you think the price elasticity of demand for food is higher in Tanzania than in the U.S.? What does this imply about food purchases in the U.S. and Tanzania?
B. The government wants to maximize its tax revenue. Revenue is equal to the amount of the tax times the quantity of goods sold (i.e., revenue Tax . Q). Which will provide more tax gasoline or a tax on restaurant meals? Why?
Answer:
Why do you think the price elasticity of demand for food is higher in Tanzania than in the U.S.?
The price elasticity of demand for food is higher in Tanzania than in the U.S. because Tanzania is a much poorer country than the U.S., and a rise in food prices leads immediately to a large drop in demand, since most people will simply not have enough income to meet demand.
What does this imply about food purchases in the U.S. and Tanzania?
This implies that people in Tanzania spend less money on food, but also spend a larger share of their income on it.
Which will provide more tax gasoline or a tax on restaurant meals? Why?
The tax on gasoline will provide more funds because gasoline is a good that is way more inelastic than restaurant meals.
If restaurant meals become more expensive because of the tax, people will simply stop eating-out, and prepare home meals instead.
Gasoline, on the other hand, is very inelastic, and even if the price goes up a lot because of a very high tax, car owners will still have to purchase it, raising government revenue.
Sarah has a toothache. She believes it may be due to her not having regular dental checkups in the past. She now wants to find a dentist, but does not have one that she has used in the past. Because dentistry has __________ properties, Sarah plans to ask her friends for a recommendation for a dentist they like to be sure that she finds a good one.
Answer:
Credence properties
Explanation:
Dentistry has a Credence property because it is a Service provided by medical specialized professionals. medical diagnoses and legal services have credence properties, or characteristics. A consumer may find a service with Credence property impossible to evaluate even after purchase and consumption. To reduce this uncertainty, service consumer like Sarah turns to personal sources of information like her friends during the purchase decision process
A Deloitte employment survey asked a sample of human resource executives how their company planned to change its workforce over the next months. A categorical response variable showed three options: The company plans to hire and add to the number of employees, the company plans no change in the number of employees, or the company plans to lay off and reduce the number of employees.

Mark is creating Nu2U, a Web site through which he will enter into contracts over the Internet. In his standard online contract, he includes a provision which states "Any disputes under this contract will be resolved under the laws of the State of Texas." This is an example of a
Answer: Choice of Law Clause
Explanation:
The Choice of Law Clause allows parties in a contract to pick a territory's laws as the laws that the contract between them will be applicable to.
This way uncertainty can be avoided when any of the parties seeks legal redress for any perceived breach of contract.
It is worthy of note that parties do not even need to be from the Territory whose laws have been chosen and this is why some parties look for Territories who have laws that will be favourable to them. This is why most big Corporations pick Delaware law because their laws are perceived to be pro big business.
Under a partnership agreement, Sherry is to receive 25% of the partnership income, but not less than $10,000. The partnership has net income of $30,000 for Year 1 before any allocation. Calculate Sherry’s guaranteed payment from the partnership for Year 1.
Answer:
$2,500
Explanation:
since Sherry will receive at least $10,000 or 25% of the partnership's net income, then the guaranteed payment = $10,000 - ($30,000 x 25%) = $10,000 - $7,500 = $2,500
When partnerships include guaranteed minimum payments, he/she will receive that amount even if the partnership's net income is not high enough. If the partnership's net income would have been $40,000 or more, then there would be no guaranteed payment (= $40,000 x 25% = $10,000).

Bandar Industries Berhad of Malaysia manufactures sporting equipment. One of the company’s products, a football helmet for the North American market, requires a special plastic. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 3,100 helmets, using 2,077 kilograms of plastic. The plastic cost the company $13,708. According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.62 kilograms of plastic, at a cost of $7.00 per kilogram.
Required:
1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,100 helmets?
2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,100 helmets?
3. What is the materials spending variance?
4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
1. 1,922
2. $13,454
3. $254 Unfavorable
4. 831 Favorable
$1,085 Unfavorable
Explanation:
1. The computation of standard quantity of kilograms of plastic is shown below:-
Standard quantity of kilograms allowed = Helmets manufactured × Required kilograms of plastic
= 3,100 × 0.62
= 1,922
2. The computation of standard materials cost allowed is shown below:-
Standard cost allowed for actual output = Standard quantity of kilograms allowed × Cost per kilogram
= 1,922 × $7
= $13,454
3. The computation of materials spending variance is shown below:-
Materials spending variance = Plastic cost - Standard cost allowed for actual output
= $13,708 - $13,454
= $254 Unfavorable
4. The computation of materials price variance and the materials quantity variance is shown below:-
Materials price variance = Plastic cost - (Plastic in kilograms × Cost per kilograms)
= $13,708 - (2,077 × $7)
= 831 Favorable
Materials quantity variance = Cost per kilograms × (Plastic in kilograms - Standard quantity of kilograms allowed)
= $7 × (2,077 - 1,922)
= $1,085 Unfavorable
So, we have applied the above formulas.
Variable costs as a percentage of sales for Lemon Inc. are 62%, current sales are $563,000, and fixed costs are $189,000. How much will operating income change if sales increase by $39,200
Answer:
Effect on income= $14,896 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs= 62% of sales
Current sales are $563,000
Fixed costs are $189,000.
Sales increase by $39,200.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= sales increase*contribution margin ratio
Effect on income= 39,200*(1 - 0.62)
Effect on income= $14,896 increase
Prove:
Actual income= 563,200*0.38 - 189,000= 25,016
New income= 602,400*0.38 - 189,000= 39,912
Difference= $14,896 increase

If Fat Fox Smelters has 250,000 shares of common stock outstanding, can Cold Goose file a single income tax return that reports the incomes and expenses of both companies? No, because Cold Goose Metal Works’s ownership stake in Fat Fox Smelters is less than or equal to 49%, whereas 50% or more is required by the U.S. Tax Code. Yes, because Cold Goose Metal Works’s ownership stake in Fat Fox Smelters is greater than or equal to 60%, as required by the U.S. Tax Code. Yes, because Cold Goose Metal Works’s ownership stake in Fat Fox Smelters is greater than or equal to 80%, as required by the U.S. Tax Code.
Answer:
Cold Goose Metal Works and Fat Fox Smelting Corp.
Yes, because Cold Goose Metal Works’s ownership stake in Fat Fox Smelters is greater than or equal to 80%, as required by the U.S. Tax Code.
Explanation:
The total percentage of shares owned by Cold Goose Metal Works is 83% (207,500/250,000 x 100). This is more than 80% required.
The relevant section supporting the above is
"Section (2) 80-per cent voting and value test: The ownership of stock of any corporation meets the requirements of this paragraph if it—
(A)possesses at least 80 per cent of the total voting power of the stock of such corporation, and
(B)has a value equal to at least 80 per cent of the total value of the stock of such corporation."

Twinte Cars, a California corporation, has internal corporate requirements that stipulate a three-year payroll document retention period. It enters into a contract with an international company that mandates a six-year payroll document retention requirement. How should Twinte Cars balance these requirements
Answer:
-The period for retention could be up to 8 years depending upon the circumstances.
-The benefits and records may be called to evidence
Explanation:
In this scenario Twinte cars needs to balance internal requirement of 3 year payroll document retention period and the contract if 6 year payroll retention with the international company. Usually foreign companies have a higher retention requirement.
A way out of this predicament will be to get a new retention period of 8 years. This will satisfy requirements of the international company.
Also Twinte cars can provide benefits and records from their internal 3 year payroll retention to the international company

Chen Company's account balances at December 31, 2017 for Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts are $800,000 debit and $1,500 credit. Sales during 2017 were $2,750,000. It is estimated that 1% of sales will be uncollectible. The adjusting entry would include a credit to the allowance account for:___________.
A) $29,000.
B) $27,500.
C) $26,000.
D) $8,000.
Answer:
B) $27,500.
Explanation:
The computation of the amount credited to the allowance account is shown below:
= Sales during the 2017 year × estimated uncollectible percentage
= $2,750,000 × 1%
= $27,500
By multiplying the sales with the estimated uncollectible percentage we can get the amount credited to the allowance account and the same is to be considered
Hence, the correct option is B
Accounts Receivable Analysis A company reports the following: Sales $1,182,600 Average accounts receivable (net) 43,800 Determine (a) the accounts receivable turnover and (b) the number of days' sales in receivables. Round interim calculations to the nearest dollar and final answers to one decimal place. Assume a 365-day year. a. Accounts receivable turnover b. Number of days' sales in receivables days
Answer:
a. The account Receivable Turnover is 27 times
b. 13.52 days approximately
Explanation:
1. Account Receivable Turnover = Net sales / Average Account Receivables
Account Receivable Turnover = $1,182,600 / $43,800
Account Receivable Turnover = 27 times
The account Receivable Turnover is 27 times
2. Number of days' sales in receivables days = (Average Account Receivables * 365 days) / Net sales
=(43,800 * 365) / 1,182,600
=13.5185
=13.52 days approximately
When a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, the money supply rises by more than $1. The amount of extra money created when the central bank increases bank reserves by $1 is called the money multiplier.
a. The money multiplier is generally greater than 1 because:
1. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar bill is spent more than once (velocity is larger than 1), thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. in a 100 percent reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves supports exactly one hundred dollars of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by $100.
4. when a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, deposits are automatically increased by $1 as well, thereby increasing the money supply by $2.
The money multiplier is equal to 1 when:
1. reserves < deposits.
2. reserves > deposits.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. The initial money supply is $1,500, of which $700 is currency held by the public. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. Calculate the increase in the money supply associated with increases in bank reserves of $10. What is the money multiplier in this economy? Assume that individuals do not change their currency holdings.
c. A general rule for calculating the money multiplier is:
1. 1/(deposit ratio-desired reserve).
2. 1/deposit ratio.
3. 1/desired reserve.
4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. Suppose the Fed wanted to reduce the money multiplier, perhaps because it believes that change would give it more precise control over the money supply. In order to achieve its goal, the Fed would:
1. decrease the ratio of reserves to deposits.
2. increase reserve requirements.
3. increase the money supply.
4. decrease reserve requirements.
Answer: a. 2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. $900.
Multiplier is 10
c. 4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. 2. increase reserve requirements.
Explanation:
a. In fractional-reserve banking system, $1 of deposits can be used to create more than $1 in money supply as the money is continuously deposited into other bank accounts. This enables the money to keep increasing until it theoretically reaches a certain amount determined by the money Multiplier.
If the money Multiplier is equal to 1 which is a very rare occasion, this means that the amount required in reserves is equal to the deposits. $1 of deposits will yield a $1 in money supply increase.
b. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. For every $1, 0.1 goes to reserves.
If bank reserves have increased by $10 then that means that deposits are,
0.1x = 10
x = $100
Deposits not in reserve are,
= 0.9 * 100
= $90
The money Multiplier can be calculated with the formula,
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
= 1/0.1
= 10
Increase in money supply is therefore,
= $90 * 10
= $900
c. As earlier mentioned, option D is the general rule for calculating the money Multiplier.
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
d. If the Fed increases the reserve requirement, the effect would be a reduction in the money supply because the denominator is now higher.
For instance, reserve requirement of 0.1 vs 0.2.
At 0.1, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.1
= 10
At 0.2, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.2
= 5
The higher the reserve requirement, the lower the Multiplier.
Todd can afford to pay $375 per month for the next 7 years in order to purchase a new car. The interest rate is 6.5 percent compounded monthly. What is the most he can afford to pay for a new car today
Answer:
The most he can afford to pay = $25,260.07
Explanation:
The most he can afford to pay is the present value of the $375 per month discounted at the interest rate of return of 6.5% p.a
PV = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
PV = ?, A- 375, r- 6.5/12= 0.541% n= 12×7 = 84
PV = 375× (1- (1.00541)^(-84) )/0.00541= 25260.071
The most he can afford to pay = $25,260.07
Note: the monthly interest rate needed to be computed by dividing 6.5% by 12 and the number of months in 7 years is 7 × 12 = 84

To calculate the fixed costs, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,400 - 2,960) / (2,620 - 1,650)
Variable cost per unit= $1.484536
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 4,400 - (1.484536*2,620)
Fixed costs= $510
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,960 - (1.484536*1,650)
Fixed costs= 510

Total Expenses $91,000
Net Income $44,000
Explanation:
In calculating the net income for the year, only revenue and expenses (income statement) items are taken into account. They are also called temporary or period accounts which are closed to the income statement for the period, because they are not permanent accounts. Permanent accounts are taken to the balance sheet and carried over to the next accounting period.
A company has a net income of $190,000, a profit margin of 9.40 percent, and an accounts receivable balance of $106,351. Assuming 72 percent of sales are on credit, what is the company's days' sales in receivables?
Answer:
The company's days' sales in receivables is 22 days
Explanation:
In order to calculate the company's days' sales in receivables we would have to calculate first the total sales with the following formula:
Total Sales = Net Income / Profit Margin
= $190,000/9.4%=$2,021,276
Hence, Credit Sales = $2,021,276*0.85= $1,718,085
Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Credit sales / Accounts Receivable
= $1,718,085 /$106,351
= 16.15485
Therefore, Days sales in receivables = 365/16.15485= 22.59 days
The company's days' sales in receivables is 22 days
Suppose you are an analyst in the oil refinery industry and are responsible for estimating the equilibrium price and quantity of home heating oil. To do so, you must consider factors that can affect the supply of and demand for heating oil.
Determinants of the demand for heating oil include household income, the price of an oil furnace (a complement to heating oil) and the price of natural gas (a substitute for heating oil). Determinants of the supply of heating oil include the cost of crude oil and the cost of refining crude oil into home heating oil.
1. Suppose that all of the determinants of the supply and demand for heating oil are equal to their initital values. The equilibrium quantity in this market is ___ barrels of heating oil per day,
A. 60,000
B. 50,000
C. 70,000
D. 80,000
E. 40,000
2. and the equilibrium price is ____ per barrel.
A. $40
B. $70
C. $60
D. $50

Assuming no employees are subject to ceilings for their earnings, Harris Company has the following information for the pay period of January 15 - 31.
Gross payroll $19,676
Federal income tax withheld $3,438
Social security rate 6%
Federal unemployment tax rate 0.8%
Medicare rate 1.5%
State unemployment tax rate 5.4%
Salaries Payable would be recorded in the amount of
a) $15,018.09
b) $13,542.39
c) $14,762.30
d) $19,676.00
Answer:
The correct answer is B. Salaries Payable would be recorded in the amount of 13,542.39.
Explanation:
Given that the company's gross payroll is $19,676, and that a discount of $3,438 must be applied by the Federal Income Tax, a 6% social security rate, a 0.8% federal unemployment rate, a 1.5% rate Medicare and 5.4% state unemployment rate, the following gross discounts must be made to gross payroll to determine wages to be paid after taxes:
3,438 (Federal Income Tax)
19,676 x 0.06 = 1,180.56 (social security rate)
19,676 x 0.008 = 157.408 (federal unemployment rate)
19,676 x 0.015 = 295.14 (Medicare rate)
19,676 x 0.054 = 1,062.5 (state unemployment rate)
Therefore, those discounts should be subtracted from the gross payroll in order to get the Salaries Payable:
19,676 - 3,438 - 1,180.56 - 157.4 - 295.14 - 1,062.5 = 13,542.39.
