Answer:
Patton Company should debit its Debt Investments account for the Scott Company bonds by $2,571 and credit its Interest Revenue account by $155,283
Explanation:
On July 1 2021, Patton Company should increase its Debt Investments account for the Scott Company bonds by =
Amount of discount amortized = Interest revenue - Interest received
= ($1,410,375 × 11% × 6/12) - ($1,500,000 × 10% × 6/12)
= $77,571 - $75,000
= $2,571
Interest revenue on 31 December 2021 = ($1,410,375 + $2,571) × 11% × 6/12
= $77,712
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Patton Company should report interest revenue from the Scott Company bonds of = $77,571 + $77,712 = $155,283

A company issues a callable (at par) ten-year, 6% coupon bond with annual coupon payments. The bond can be called at par in one year after release or any time after that on a coupon payment date. On release, it has a price of $104 per $100 of face value. What is the yield to worst of this bond when it is released
Answer:
6.32%
Explanation:
This can be calculate using the YTC using the following equation:
YTC = (C + (CP - P) / t) / ((CP + P) / 2) .......................... (1)
Where:
YTC = YTW = yield to call or yield to worst = ?
C = annual coupon interest payment = bond interest rate * Bond price = 6% * $100 = $6
CP = call price of the bond = $104
P = price of the bond = $100
t = time in years remaining until the call date = 10 - 1 = 9 years
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTC = ($6 + ($104 - $100) / 9) / (($104 + $100) / 2) = 0.0632, or 6.32%

The risk-free rate of interest, kRF, is 6 percent. The overall stock market has an expected return of 12 percent. Nutshell, Inc. has a beta of 1.2. What is the required return of Nutshell, Inc. stock? *
Answer:required return of Nutshell, Inc. stock = 13.2%
Explanation:The Required return also called Hurdle rate is the minimum return in percentage which an investor should receive from doing business or investing in a business to compensate for the risks associated with the business. The more risky the investment, the more high returns and the less risky investment, the lower the returns.
Required Rate of Return = Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Whole Market Return – Risk Free Rate)
given
risk-free rate = 6%
market return= 12 %
beta = 1.2
Required Rate of Return = Risk Free Rate + Beta * (Whole Market Return – Risk Free Rate
= 6% + 1.2 x (12% - 6%) = 6% + 1.2 x 6% = 0.06 + 1.2x 0.06= 0.06 + 0.072=0.132 x 100 = 13.2%
A manufacturer produces 1,000 basketballs each day, which it sells to customers for $30 each. All costs associated with production and sales total $10,000; however, if the manufacturer were to produce one additional basketball per day, total costs would increase to $10,100. From these amounts, we can tell that:________
a. the firm has negative profit.
b. marginal cost equals $100.
c. marginal cost equals $150.
d. marginal cost equals marginal revenue.
Answer:
b. marginal cost equals $100.
Explanation:
Marginal Cost is the cost of one extra unit produced.
Marginal Cost = $10,100 - $10,000 = $100
Marginal revenue is revenue earned per extra j
Unit sold. Marginal revenue equals price. $30
Marginal cost is greater than marginal revenue
Profit = Total revenue - Total cost = (1,000 × $30) - $10,000 = $20,000
Profit is positive

Levine, Inc., has an ROA of 8.6 percent and a payout ratio of 33 percent.
What is its internal growth rate?
Answer:
Explanation:
Workings
Internal growth rate is the highest possible growth attained by a business without obtaining outside funding but with its retained earning.
Given information
ROA = 8.6%
Percentage Payout ratio = 33%
Internal growth rate = (ROA * Retention ratio) / 1 - (ROA * Retention ratio)
Retention ratio is the percentage earning that is no paid out in dividends
To calculate the retention ratio , we use the formula
Retention ratio = (1-percentage pay out ratio)
= 1 - 0.33 = 0.67
Substituting retention ratio for 0.67 in the inter growth rate formula
Therefore
Internal growth rate = (0.086*0.67)/1-(0.086*0.67)
0.05762/(1-0.05762) = 0.05762/0.94238
=0.0611
= 6.11%
One advantage of the direct organizational plan is that it:________.
A. Results in more formal messages.
B. Positions the major news first.
C. Presents key topic sentences before subsequent ideas.
D. Arranges supporting details in order of priority.
E. Gives reasons up front to prepare the reader for negative news.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
One advantage of the direct organizational plan is that it positions the major news first.
The major news receives the most attention because of it importance,hence it is given proper analysis which in turn brings attention.
When the direct approachis used, the main idea (such as a recommendation, conclusion, or request) comes in as the top on the priority list of the document, followed by the evidence. This is a deductive argument. This approach is used when your audience will be neutral or positive about your message.
Masters Corp. issues two bonds with 20-year maturities. Both bonds are callable at $1,050. The first bond is issued at a deep discount with a coupon rate of 4% and a price of $580 to yield 8.4%. The second bond is issued at par value with a coupon rate of 8.75%.
a. What is the yield to maturity of the par bond? Why is it higher than the yield of the discount bond?
b. If you expect rates to fall substantially in the next two years, which bond has the higher expected rate of return?
c. In what sense does the discount bond offer "implicit call protection"?
Answer:
Explanation:
a)
The YTM of the bond at par value is equals to its coupon rate, 8.75%. Other things being equal, this 4% coupon rate bond will be more eye-catching as the coupon rate is lower than the current market yields, and its price is far below the call price. So, if yields drop, capital gains on the bond will not be restricted by the call price.
b)
If an investor foresees that yields will fall considerably, the 4% bond proposes a better expected return.
c)
Implicit call protection is offered in the sense that any likely fall in yields would not be nearly enough to make the firm consider calling the bond. In this sense, the call feature is almost irrelevant
Bilbo Baggins wants to save money to meet three objectives. First, he would like to be able to retire 30 years from now with retirement income of $28,000 per month for 25 years, with the first payment received 30 years and 1 month from now. Second, he would like to purchase a cabin in Rivendell in 10 years at an estimated cost of $380,000. Third, after he passes on at the end of the 25 years of withdrawals, he would like to leave an inheritance of $1,700,000 to his nephew Frodo. He can afford to save $3,300 per month for the next 10 years. If he can earn an EAR of 10 percent before he retires and an EAR of 7 percent after he retires, how much will he have to save each month in years 11 through 30?
Answer:
He would have to save each month in years 11 through 30 the amount of $2,279.60
Explanation:
Because the cash flows occur monthly, we must get the effective monthly rate. One way to do this is to find the APR based on monthly compounding, and then divide by 12. So, the pre-retirement APR is:
EAR = .11 = [1 + (APR/12)] 12- 1;
APR = 12[(1.11) 1/12- 1] = .1048 or 10.48%
And the post-retirement APR is:
EAR = .08 = [1 + (APR/12)] 12 -1
APR = 12[(1.08) 1/12 -1] = .0772 or 7.72%
First, we will calculate how much he needs at retirement. The amount needed at retirement is the PV of the monthly spending plus the PV of the inheritance. The PV of these two cash flows is:
PVA = $24500{1 -[1/(1 + .0772/12) 12(25) ]}/(.0772/12) = $3,252,096.21
PV = $1525,000/[1 + (.0772/12)] 300 = $222,723.58
So, at retirement, he needs:
$3,252,096.21+ $222,723.58= $3474819.79
He will be saving $2,600 per month for the next 10 years until he purchases the cabin. The value of his savings after 10 years will be:
FVA = $2,600[{[1 + (.1048/12)] 12(10) -1}/(.1048/12)] = $547,487.10
After he purchases the cabin, the amount he will have left is:
$547,487.10 -345,000 = $202487.10
He still has 20 years until retirement. When he is ready to retire, this amount will have grown to:
FV = $202487.10[1 + (.1048/12)] 12(20) = $1632023.27
So, when he is ready to retire, based on his current savings, he will be short:
$3474819.79-1632023.27 = $1842796.52
This amount is the FV of the monthly savings he must make between years 10 and 30. So, finding the annuity payment using the FVA equation, we find his monthly savings will need to be:
FVA = $1842796.52 = C [{[ 1 + (.1048/12)] 12(20) -1}/(.1048/12)]
C = $2,279.60
He would have to save each month in years 11 through 30 the amount of $2,279.60
Fast-food restaurants like McDonald's are replacing cashiers with touch-screen ordering kiosks. Currently the MPL for an additional cashier is 48 customers served per hour and the MPK for an additional kiosk is 32 customers served per hour. A cashier can be hired for wage of $15; a kiosk rents for $12.
(a) Is Whataburger using the optimal cost-minimizing mix of cashiers and kiosks? Explain.
(b) What can Whataburger do to improve its mix of inputs – hire more cashiers or fewer? Rent more kiosks or fewer?
Answer:
a. Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. Whataburger should hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost
Explanation:
a. According to the given data we have the following:
Let "C" is a cashier.
"K" is a kiosk
MPC = 48 (Marginal Product of Cashier)
MPK = 32 (Marginal Product of Kiosk)
PC = $15 (cashier can be hired for a wage of $15)
PK = $12 (Kiosk rents for $12)
At optimal cost minimization point, (MPC / MPK) = (PC / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (MPK / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (48 / 15) = 3.2
(MPK / PK) = (32 / 12) = 2.67
Since the (MPC / PC) and (MPK / PK) is not equal. It implies Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. We have to use the following:
(MPC / PC) > (MPK / PK)
i.e., 3.2 > 2.67
It means Whataburger hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost.
Sam was injured in an accident, and the insurance company has offered him the choice of $25,000 per year for 15 years, with the first payment being made today, or a lump sum. If a fair return is 7.5%, how large must the lump sum be to leave him as well off financially as with the annuity
Answer:
The lump sum be of $237,228.84
Explanation:
In order to calculate how large must the lump sum be we would have to use and calculate the formula of Present value of annuity due as follows:
Present value of annuity due=(1+interest rate)*Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
Present value of annuity due=(1+0.075)*$25,000[1-(1.075)^-15]/0.075
Present value of annuity due=$25,000*9.489153726
Present value of annuity due=$237,228.84(Approx)
The lump sum be of $237,228.84
In the short-run aggregate demand and supply model, one important difference between monetary and fiscal policy is that monetary policy:_______.
a. influences aggregate supply but fiscal policy influences aggregate demand.
b. has shorter lags than fiscal policy, so monetary policy may impact the economy more quickly than fiscal policy.
c. influences aggregate demand but fiscal policy influences aggregate supply.
d. has longer lags than fiscal policy, so fiscal policy may impact the economy more quickly than monetary policy.
Answer:
a. influences aggregate supply but fiscal policy influences aggregate demand.
Explanation:
Remember, when the term monetary policy is used it refers to policies that are focused on the interest rates as well as the inflation rate, which certainly affects the money supply specifically. However, the fiscal policy is usually channelled towards aggregate demand of the economy.
Thus, it is right to say that one important difference between monetary and fiscal policy is that monetary policy affects aggregate supply but fiscal policy influences aggregate demand.
Ida Sidha Karya Company is a family-owned company located in the village of Gianyar on the island of Bali in Indonesia. The company produces a handcrafted Balinese musical instrument called a gamelan that is similar to a xylophone. The gamelans are sold for $880. Selected data for the company’s operations last year follow:Units in beginning inventory 0Units produced 280Units sold 240Units in ending inventory 40Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 115 Direct labor $ 335 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 35 Variable selling and administrative $ 25 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 63,000 Fixed selling and administrative $ 23,000 The absorption costing income statement prepared by the company’s accountant for last year appears below:Sales $ 211,200Cost of goods sold 170,400Gross margin 40,800Selling and administrative expense 29,000Net operating income $ 11,800Required:Determine how much of the ending inventory consists of fixed manufacturing overhead cost deferred in inventory to the next period.
Answer:
Fixed manufacturing cost allocated to inventory= $9,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units in beginning inventory 0
Units produced 280
Units sold 240
Units in ending inventory 40
Fixed manufacturing overhead $63,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable.
First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed manufacturing cost:
unitary fixed manufacturing cost= 63,000/280= $225
Fixed manufacturing cost allocated to inventory= 40*225=$9,000
Billy owns one share of Disney stock. He purchased the share 3 years ago for $15. Disney stock is currently trading for $30 per share. The stock has paid the following dividends over the past three years: year 1, $1.00; year 2, $2.00; year 3, $3.00. What is the compounded rate of return (IRR) that Billy has earned on his investment
Answer:
35.8%
Explanation:
purchase price 3 years ago $15, so CF₀ = -15
CF₁ = $1
CF₂ = $2
CF₃ = $3 + $30 = $33
using an excel spreadsheet (or you can also a financial calculator), you must determine the internal rate of return (IRR) = 35.8%
the IRR is the interest rate where NPV = 0, or the future cash flows equal the investment amount

Samantha and Adam own a gardening business together. They each pull weeds from flower beds and rake up leaves for their neighbors. If each decides to specialize in what they are best at, Samantha will
a.weed and Adam will rake because these are the goods each has a comparative advantage in.
b.rake and Adam will weed because these are the goods each has a comparative advantage in.
c.weed and Adam will rake because these are the goods each has an absolute advantage in.
d.rake and Adam will weed because these are the goods each has an absolute advantage in.
Answer:
The correct option is A, Samantha weed and Adam will rake because these are the goods each has a comparative advantage in.
Explanation:
The opportunity formula comes handy in this case, which is given below:
opportunity cost formula=what one sacrifices/what one gains
If Samantha were to weed flower beds, opportunity cost is computed thus:
Opportunity cost of Samantha weeding flower beds=8/4= 2 bags of leaves raked
The opportunity of Adam weeding flower beds=25/5 =5 bags of leaves raked.
In a nutshell ,if Samantha weeds flowers they would lose 2 bags of leaves raked while if Adam were to do so same, they would lose 5 bags of leaves raked, conclusively Samantha should weed flower beds since she has lower opportunity, higher comparative advantage
Howard Company has two support departments (S1 and S2) and two producing departments (P1 and P2). Department S1 costs are allocated on the basis of number of employees, and Department S2 costs are allocated on the basis of space occupied expressed in square feet.
Data on direct department costs, number of employees, and space occupied are as follows:
S1
S2

If Howard used the reciprocal method, the algebraic equation expressing the total costs allocated from S1 is
Select one:
a. S1 = $7,500 + 0.10S2.
b. S1 = $7,500 + 0.20S2.
c. S1 = $10,000 + 0.20S2.
d. S1 = $10,000 + 0.10S2.
Answer: S1 = $ 7500 + 0.20 S2
Explanation:
From the question, Howard Company has two support departments which are (S1 and S2) and two producing departments which are (P1 and P2). The department S1 costs are allocated on the basis of number of employees, and the department S2 costs are allocated on basis of space occupied expressed in square feet.
The algebraic equation expressing the total costs allocated from S1 is calculated as follow:
S1 Direct Cost = $ 7500
The cost of S2 will be allocated to S1 based on the space occupied and the total space that is occupied is:
= 1000 + 1500 + 2500
= 5000 sq ft
Space occupied by S1 = 1000
S2’s cost allocated to S1 will be:
= (1000 / 5000) of S2 cost
= 0.20 S2
Therefore the correct option is:
S1 = $ 7500 + 0.20 S2

b. Safety, comfort, half-price Tuesday
c. Sparkling water, evening wine tasting, four-star hotel restaurant
d. Business messages typically follow either a direct strategy or an indirect strategy. The direct strategy, or frontloading, places the main idea at the beginning of a message.
e. Using a direct opening strategy .
f. An indirect strategy places the main idea after an explanation or reason.
Answer:
c. Sparkling water, evening wine tasting, four-star hotel restaurant
Explanation:
The scratch list in general includes a series of services that are provided by a Hotel (the Boston Hotel). Because of the items included in the list, it seems that the Hotel is quite fancy.
Numeral c would be a good addition to the scratch list, because it lists items that would fall in place for the type of Hotel being described: sparking water, evening wine tasting, and a the mention of a four-star hotel restaurant.

A company has a fiscal year-end of December 31:_______.
(1) on October 1, $18,000 was paid for a one-year fire insurance policy; (2) on June 30 the company advanced its chief financial officer $16,000; principal and interest at 6% on the note are due in one year; and (3) equipment costing $66,000 was purchased at the beginning of the year for cash. Depreciation on the equipment is $13,200 per year. If the adjusting entries were not recorded, would net income be higher or lower and by how much?
Answer:
Net income would be higher by $17,220 if the adjusting entries were left unrecorded
Explanation:
The adjusting entries for insurance prepaid would be to recognize three months of insurance cost as insurance expense i.e $18,000*3/12=$4,500
The adjusting entries for the advance of $16,000 is to recognize interest revenue for six months (from July to December) in the books i.e$16,000*6%*6/12=$480
The depreciation charge would increase expenses by $13,200
The impact of profit is shown below:
insurance expense ($4,500)
interest revenue $480
depreciation ( $13,200)
total impact (17220)
Terrel Gifts produces logo platters and cups bearing the name of the city in which the items will be sold to tourists. Indirect logo printing costs are allocated to platters and cups based on the amount of time spent on the logo machine. The company has budgeted logo costs of $4,224 per month and expects to spend 4,800 hours on the printing logos each month. Each platter uses 24 minutes and each cup spends 6 minutes on the logo machine. How much of the logo printing costs will be allocated to each platter?
Answer:
$0.3528
Explanation:
So, we are given the following data or parameters or information in the question above as:
=> " The company has budgeted logo costs = $4,224 per month."
=> "Time that is being expected to be spent = 4,800 hours on the printing logos each month. "
=> " Each platter uses 24 minutes and each cup spends 6 minutes on the logo machine."
The amount of money the logo printing costs will be allocated to each platter;
Thus, 0.0147 × 24 = 0.3528.
Kindly note that the value; 0.0147 comes from the division of 4800 hours by 60 per each hour

Lang Warehouses borrowed $287,610 from a bank and signed a note requiring 15 annual payments of $27,709 beginning one year from the date of the agreement. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: Determine the interest rate implicit in this agreement
Answer:
The interest rate implicit in this agreement is 5%
Explanation:
A fix periodic payment made for a specific of time is known as annuity.
The 15 annual loan payment of $27,709 is an annuity payment and we will use the following formula to calculate the interest rate.
PV of annuity = P x annuity factor
Where
P = annual payments = $27,709
Placing values in the formula
$287,610 = $27,709 x annuity factor
Annuity factor = $287,610 / $27,709
Annuity factor = 10.37966
The annuity factor of 10.37966 for 15 years is for 5% interest rate.
