A basic ARM is made for $120,000 at an initial interest rate of 3 percent for 30 years with an annual reset date. The borrower believes that the interest at the beginning of year 2 will increase to 4 percent (i.e., the interest rate will reset). Assume no negative amortization. Given that the interest rate will increase to 4 percent as predicted, what will be the balance at the end of year 2 or the beginning of year 3
Answer:
$115,302.71
Explanation:
During the first year, the monthly payments were $505.92, and at the end of the year, the principal's balance was $117,494.70.
Then the interest rate increases to 4%, and your monthly payment also increases to $570.72. At the end of year 2, the principal's balance is $115,305.96 (see amortization schedule).
you can determine the monthly payment by using an annuity formula:
original monthly payment = $120,000 / 237.18938 (PV annuity factor, 0.25%, 360 periods) = $505.9248437 ≈ $505.92
adjusted monthly payment (second year) = $117,494.70 / 205.86942 (PV annuity factor, 0.3333%, 348 periods) = $570.7243941 ≈ $570.72
Greystone Inc. plans to pay a $4.30 dividend during the upcoming year, and dividends are expected to grow at the rate of 8% per year. The risk free rate is 6% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 12%. The current price of the stock is $85. What is the estimated beta of Greystone, Inc.
Answer:
Beta = 1.18
Explanation:
The computation of the beta is shown below:
But before that we need to calculate the following calculations
Current stock price = D1 ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
$85 = $4.30 ÷ (Ke - 0.08)
(Ke - 0.08) = 0.0506
Ke = 0.1306
= 13.06%
Now
Expected rate of return(Ke) = Risk free rate + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk free rate of return)
13.06% = 6% + Beta × (12% - 6%)
13.06% = 6% + Beta × 6%
So, the Beta = 1.18
Regina Corp. is a property and casualty insurance company in its third year of operations and has a net loss of $100,000. Regina had taxable income of $10,000 and $30,000 in its first and second year of operations, respectively. Regina expects to be profitable within the next year. Regina is allowed to carry back the net operating loss to previous years. The enacted income tax rate is 40%. The income tax benefit from the NOL carryforward shown on Regina's income statement in the year of the loss is
Answer:
$24,000
Explanation:
Total Taxable income of first and second year = $10,000 + $30,000 = $40,000
Net loss in 3rd year = $100,000
Net Operating loss carry back = Regina Taxable income Total of first and second year of operations
Net Operating loss carry back = $40,000
Net Operating loss Carry forwards = Net loss - Net Operating loss carry back
Net Operating loss carry forward = $100,000 - $40,000
Net Operating loss carry forward = $60,000
Income tax rate = 40%
Income tax benefit from the Net Operating loss carry forward = Net Operating loss carry forward * Income tax rate
Income tax benefit from the Net Operating loss carry forward = $60,000 * 40%
Income tax benefit from the Net Operating loss carry forward = $24,000 .

When Apple introduced its iPhone 11 with Slofie (slow-
motion selfie) capability and a high price tag, it used_______ to avoid direct competition with Samsung,
Google, and others.
Answer:
trademark
Explanation:
When the announcement was made about the iPhone 11's new Slofie (slow- motion selfie) capability, Apple also said it had applied for a US trademark on Slofie.
Note, a trademark is a legally issued right for a symbol, phrase, or word to be used to denote a specific product or service, thus it gives a right of ownership to the trademark applicant. Therefore, it limits direct competition from others.
Answer:
Trademark
Explanation:
A trademark is an intellectual property which consists of a particular design aimed at identifying a product as being from a particular source.
Once a trademark is established on a product other companies will be unable to use that technology nor design without purchasing rights to use the trademark.
Apple first introduced Solfie which is a name coined for slow motion selfie on their iPhone 11.
In order to avoid competition with Samsung, Google, and others they trademarked Slofie thereby preventing competitors from using similar technology
The firm projected its proforma of financial statements using AFN method and finds that next year its AFN is $2 million. Its total asset this year is $40 million and its net sales this year is $50 million. The CFO has decided to finance its entire projected AFN through issuing common stock. What would you expect to happen in next year’s financial ratio based on AFN method if we expect its net income remains constant?
Answer:
Its earnings per share will decrease.
Its return on equity will go down.
Its equity multiplier will go down.
Explanation:
Since net income remains the same, earnings per share will decrease. This happens because there will be more stocks outstanding (the denominator in the EPS formula), so the result will be lower.
Return on equity will also decrease, since net income will remain the same while equity increases (same logic as EPS).
Unless this company is 100% financed through equity, it will have some debt (liabilities). The equity multiplier = total assets / total equity. E.g. total assets increase from $20 to $22 million, and total equity increases from $30 to $32 million.
Original equity multiplier = $40 / $30 = 1.333
Equity multiplier after issuing more stocks = $42 / $32 = 1.3125
C. Its equity multiplier will go down.
D. Its current ratio will go down.
E. Its quick ratio will go down.

A company's overhead rate is 60% of direct labor cost. Using the following incomplete accounts, determine the cost of direct materials used. Work in Process Inventory Beginning WIP 116,900 Direct materials ? Direct labor ? Applied overhead ? To finished goods ? Ending WIP 152,000 Factory Overhead 116,900 105,210 Finished Goods Inventory Beginning FG 137,100 376,700 349,100
Answer:
The cost of direct materials used is $124,090
Explanation:
Ending Finished Goods = $349,100 - $376,700 = $137,100 - ($27,600)
Ending Finished Goods = $109,500
Calculation of Direct labor
Here, the company's overhead cost is 60% of direct labor cost
Ending factory overhead cost = 60% * Direct labor cost
$109,500 = 60% * Direct labor cost
Direct labor cost = $109,500 / 60%
Direct labor cost = $182,500
Calculation of direct materials cost
Particular Amount
Beginning finished goods inventory $376,700
Add: Ending WIP $152,000
Less: Beginning WIP $116,900
Less: Direct labor $182,500
Less: Ending Factory overhead $105,210
Direct Material Cost $124,090
Hence, the cost of direct materials used is $124,090.
Which of the following best defines rational behavior? Group of answer choices A. Analyzing the total gains from a decision. B. Improving net gain by pursuing decisions as long as the marginal benefits exceed the marginal costs. C. Seeking to gain by choosing to undertake actions as long as the marginal costs exceed the associated marginal benefits. D. Seeking to maximize total gain regardless of cost.
Answer:
B. Improving net gain by pursuing decisions as long as the marginal benefits exceed the marginal costs.
Explanation:
A rational consumer continues consumption as long as marginal benefit derived from consumption exceeds marginal cost.
Marginal benefit is the increase in benefit as a result of consuming an extra unit of a product.
Marginal cost is the increase in cost as a result of consuming one more unit of a product
For example, the marginal benefit from consuming a 5th bottle of a drink is $5. The cost of the bottle is $4. The rational consumer can increase benefit by consuming one extra bottle of the drink. If the cost of the drink were $7, a rational consumer would not consume the 5th bottle because marginal cost exceeds marginal benefit
Treasury Bonds are issued by the U.S. Government in:_______.I. bearer form.
II. book entry form.
III. minimum denominations of $100.
IV. minimum denominations of $10,000.
Answer:

Explanation:
These bonds are issued by the United States government in minimum denomination of a 100 dollars.
These bonds have their maturity periods to be greater than 20 years. Before they get to their period of maturity, these kind of bonds earn interest at certain periods. The owner of such a bond would earn an amount that is the same as the principal.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the rate on three-year Treasury securities is 1.22 percent and the rate on four-year Treasury securities is 1.4 percent. The one-year interest rate expected in three years, E(4r1), is 1.8 percent. According to the liquidity premium hypotheses, what is the liquidity premium on the four-year Treasury security, L4? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Answer:
0.142%
Explanation:
We are required to find the liquidity premium on the four-year Treasury security (L4)
1R4 = 1.4%
1R3 = 1.22%
E(4r1) = 1.8%
1 + 1R4 = [{(1+1R3)^3} * (1+E(4R1) + L4)]^1/4
1 + 0.014 = [{(1 + 0.0122)^3) * (1+0.018 + L4)]^1/4
1.014^4 = [{(1 + 0.0122)^3) * (1+0.018 + L4)]
1.057187 = (1.0370483) * (1.018 + L4)
1.057187/1.0370483 = 1.018 + L4
1.0194192 = 1.018 + L4
L4 = 1.0194192 - 1.018
L4 = 0.00142
L4 = 0.142%
Hence, liquidity premium on the four-year Treasury security(L4) = 0.142%
On January 1, 2005, Marcy Company purchased 1,000 shares of its own common stock for $22,000. On February 1, 2005, they sold 600 of these shares for $25 per share, and on March 1, 2005, they sold the remaining 400 shares for $15 per share. The journal entry required on March 1 will include: A) credit Contributed Capital, Treasury Stock, $1,800 B) debit Retained Earnings for $1,800 C) debit Retained Earnings for $2,800 D) debit Contributed Capital, Treasury Stock, $2,800 E) debit Contributed Capital, Treasury Stock, $1,800
Answer: E) debit Contributed Capital, Treasury Stock, $1,800
Explanation:
Treasury stock was bought at price of;
= 22,000/1,000
= $22
Sold 600 for $25 so they made a profit of;
= (25 - 22) * 600
= $1,800
This gain was sent to Contributed Capital, Treasury Stock.
Now that stock is to be sold on March 1, it is sold at $15. Loss from initial purchase is;
= ( 22 - 15) * 400
= $2,800
Debit Contributed Capital, Treasury Stock of the maximum amount it can be debited of to reflect this loss which would be $1,800 which was gained in the February purchase. The rest of the loss will go to Retained earnings.

The government spends $45 million on heart disease research and gains in reducing death from heart disease are significant. If the law of diminishing returns holds, what would additional increases in expenditure on heart disease research likely do to reduce death from heart disease
Answer:
They would cause relatively smaller reductions in death from heart disease.
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that the government incurred $45 million for research on the heart disease and gain that decreased the death occured from the heart disease. Now if the law of diminishing retuns hold, so the extra rise in expenditure on heart disease result in relatively small decline as it decreases the returns

After a tragic event in which an armed intruder storms into a mall and fatally shoots several people, the city of Belmonte institutes a law that prohibits any form of weapon in public retail establishments. This reaction would be an example of following which school of risprudential toucht? a. Sociological b. Historical c. Irrational Forces d. Natural Law e. Legal Realism
Answer: c. Irrational Forces
Explanation:
The Irrational Forces school of Jurisprudential thought explains that sometimes laws are passed due to some stimuli in the society that draws such a reaction from the society that the law makers pass a law under pressure
The law therefore does not have to be rational or based on reason. The law makers of Belmonte passing this law against firearms in public areas did this because of the public shooting. It therefore falls under this school of thought.
Opportunity Cost is the measurement
of sacrifice. Opportunity Cost exists
because of what?
A. the production of two goods in an economy
B. the PPF Model of economics
C. the scarcity of resources available in an economy
Answer:
C. the scarcity of resources available in an economy
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the cost of the option foregone when one alternative is choose over other alternatives.
It is usually assumed that humans wants are limitless and the resources available to satisfy these needs are limited. So, as more quantity of a good is being produced, there would be less resources available to produce another good.
It is due to opportunity costs that the PPF curve is bowed outward because as more of one good is being produced, less of the other good would be produced
Answer: C. the scarcity of resources available in an economy
Explanation:
Opportunity Cost is indeed a measurement of sacrifice as it is the cost of the next best alternative foregone in other to be able to make the current decision.
The reason Opportunity costs exist is because of a scarcity of resources. This means that we have to manage our resources by applying them to one alternative at a time so that they do not finish. Had resources been infinite, all alternatives could be embarked on.
Dake Corporation's relevant range of activity is 5,200 units to 6,000 units. When it produces and sells 5,600 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 6.55 Direct labor $ 3.80 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 2.15 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 3.50 Fixed selling expense $ 1.05 Fixed administrative expense $ 0.75 Sales commissions $ 0.85 Variable administrative expense $ 0.75 If 5,400 units are produced, the total amount of direct manufacturing cost incurred is closest to:
Answer:
Total direct manufacturing cost= $55,890
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
5,600 units:
Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 6.55
Direct labor $ 3.80
The manufacturing overhead is an indirect cost. It is allocated based on a predetermined rate. We will take into account only the direct materials and direct labor.
For 5,400 units:
Total direct manufacturing cost= 5,400*(6.55 + 3.8)
Total direct manufacturing cost= $55,890
On July 1, 20X4, Pillow Corp. obtained significant influence over Sleep Co. through the purchase of 3,000 shares of Sleep's 10,000 outstanding shares of common stock for $20 per share. On December 15, 20X4, Sleep paid $40,000 in dividends to its common stockholders. Sleep's net income for the year ended December 31, 20X4, was $120,000, earned evenly throughout the year. In its 20X4 income statement, what amount of income from this investment should Pillow report
Answer: $18,000
Explanation:
Income from investment is the percentage of the acquired company's income that the company that acquired it will report as their own based on their percentage of ownership.
By purchasing 3,000 shares out of 10,000, Pillow Corp owns;
= 3,000 / 10,000
= 30% of Sleep Co.
These shares were bough on July 1 so the relevant period will be half a year.
At the end of the year, Pillow Corp will report 30% of half of Sleep Co. income as income from investment for the year.
= 30% * 120,000 * 0.5
= $18,000
Diseconomies of scale arise primarily because: of the difficulties involved in managing and coordinating a large business enterprise. the short-run average total cost curve rises when marginal product is increasing. beyond some point marginal product declines as additional units of a variable resource (labor) are added to a fixed resource (capital). firms must be large both absolutely and relative to the market to employ the most efficient productive techniques available.
Answer: of the difficulties involved in managing and coordinating a large business enterprise

Management finds the variation in quarterly unit product costs to be confusing. It has been suggested that the problem lies with manufacturing overhead because it is the largest element of total manufacturing cost. Accordingly, you have been asked to find a more appropriate way of assigning manufacturing overhead cost to units of product. Required: 1. Assuming the estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit is $0.60, what must be the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost per quarter? 2. Assuming the assumptions about cost behavior from the first three quarters hold constant, what is the estimated unit product cost for the fourth quarter? 3. What is causing the estimated unit product cost to fluctuate from one quarter to the next? 4. Assuming the company computes one predetermined overhead rate for the year rather than computing quarterly overhead rates, calculate the unit product cost for all units produced during the year.
Question Completion:
Company A makes a single product that is subject to wide seasonal variations in demand. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes predetermined overhead rates on a quarterly basis, using the number of units to be produced as the allocation base. Its estimated costs, by quarter, for the coming year are given below:
