Answer: the banking system has the ability to create $52,800 of new money and the money supply in the economy will be equal to $55,000
Explanation:
To find out how much new money was created or rather how much can be created you can use the Money Multiplier. The money multiplier enables one to see how much money can be created in an economy given a certain reserve ratio.
The Money Multiplier is calculated by,
= 1/reserve requirement
Multiplying the Money Multiplier with the initial deposit in the bank gives the amount that that deposit can create.
With a Reserve Requirement of 4%, the Money Multiplier is,
= 1/4%
= 25
The Amount of money created in the economy is therefore,
= 25 * 2,200
= $55,000
The amount of New Money created will be the amount created less the initial deposit,
= 55,000 - 2,200
= $52,800
Outline the steps that you would take to ensure a successful conversion from the existing call center system to the new EHR-compatible system. Defend your response. Who should be involved in the conversion planning and implementation
Answer:
I. The steps to be taken are:
Scoping the project: Every project must have a scope. That is a scope of what needs to be achieved. Engaging a conversion expert: One must look out for someone experienced and whose prices are affordable. It's best to seek out references before engaging a conversation specialist and if possible, background checks done as he or she will be handling very sensitive data.Execution of the Project: Usually, the first version of the project will have some bugs which will necessitate upgrades and updates. These updates and upgrades are part of the process.Collaborating with the Conversion Specialist: During projects of this nature, one will need to work with other professionals outside of ones normal workforce. This human to human interaction may look simple but is critical as the specialist cannot do his or her job if they are not guided by someone internal who knows the process very well.Testing, Validating, and IteratingAfter the old records have been installed onto the new EHR system, it will be time to see if it really works. At this stage, debugging is very frequent. What works will be noted and what doesn't is fixed. Then the system is tested all over again.
6. Ensure that Import and Extraction work as planned.
Extraction and Importation are key features of an efficient EHR system. Data needs to be imported into the database, and reports/ information need to be extracted at one point or the other.
7. Tidying up Work Flow
The EHR is built to ease the administration of patients. If there are any errors or inadequacies, it will be highlighted at this stage. The conversion specialist will be available to ensure that any correction in this regard is effected.
8. Launch: This simply means going live with the new system.
II Those who will be responsible for the conversion planning and implementation are:
1. Internal Staff. Depending on the organisation, Heads of teams and key members of staff whose opinions are valued and who understand the system and the big picture (in terms of what the strategic objective of the new system) will be on the conversion, planning and implementation team.
2. Conversion Specialist will also be required. This person most likely will be a third party and is very crucial to the project.

Hence:
$80,000 * 4% * 6/12
=$80,000×0.04×0.5
= $1,600
Perry accrued interest on December 31st is $1,600
An example of accrued receivable is recording interest revenue before it is been received.
A corporate CEO wished to relay good news about the prospect of a new technology being created, but was reluctant to do so. Instead, the CEO announces that the firm has decided to increase its dividend. This story is illustrative of what view of dividend relevancy
Answer:
Information signaling
Explanation:
Information signalling is defined as the various actions a firm takes that communicates it's financial outlook. For example if a firm releases a dividend policy it communicates the value of the firm's stock.
In this scenario the CEO announced increase in the firm's dividend. This will convey to investors that the company has a competitive advantage which will result in additional income, so dividends are being raised.
It is an indirect way of announcing good news about the prospect of a new technology being created.

. Eric has another get-rich-quick idea, but needs funding to support it. He chooses an all-debt funding scenario. He will borrow $1 comma 823 from Wendy, who will charge him 4% on the loan. He will also borrow $1 comma 533 from Bebe, who will charge him 6% on the loan, and $644 from Shelly, who will charge him 12% on the loan. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Eric? What is the weighted average cost of capital for Eric?
Answer:
6.04%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) can be described as the average rate that is expected that a business will pay to finance its assets to all holders of its security.
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) can be estimated as the summation of the products of the weight of each loan in the total loan and their interest rate for this question as follows:
Total loan amount = $1,823 + $1,533 + $644 = 4,000
Weight of loan from Wendy = $1,823 / $4,000 = 0.46, or 46%
Weight of loan from Bebe = $1,533 / $4,000 = 0.38, or 38%
Weight of loan from Shelly = $644 / $4,000 = 0.16, or 16%
Weighted average cost of capital = (46% * 4%) + (38% * 6%) + (16% * 12%) = 6.04%.
Therefore, the weighted average cost of capital for Eric is 6.04%.
n the kinked demand curve model, competitors: A. ignore any price change by a rival firm. B. ignore any price increase and match any price decrease by a rival firm. C. match any price increase and ignore any price decrease by a rival firm. D. follow any price change by a rival firm.
Answer:
B. ignore any price increase and match any price decrease by a rival firm.
Explanation:
The kinked demand curve model is used by economists to provide information about the monopolistic and oligopolistic market.
Under oligopoly, the kinked demand curve shows that price aren't flexible for a long period of time. The kindred demand curve is associated with a demand curve that isn't a straight line but has varying elasticity for both lower and higher prices in the economic market.
Hence, organizations operating in an oligopolistic market ensure their market shares are maintained and well protected. Thus, an oligopolist would lower it's selling price if its competitors in the market lower their selling price. However, he or she ignores any price increase by his or her competitors.
The kinked demand curve model helps them to understand how to protect and expand their market share.

Overhead Variance (Over- or Underapplied), Closing to Cost of Goods Sold At the end of the year, Estes Company provided the following actual information: Overhead $412,600 Direct labor cost 532,000 Estes uses normal costing and applies overhead at the rate of 75% of direct labor cost. At the end of the year, Cost of Goods Sold (before adjusting for any overhead variance) was $1,670,000.Required:
1. Calculate the overhead variance for the year. $2. Dispose of the overhead variance by adjusting Cost of Goods Sold.
Answer:
1.
$13,600 unfavorable
2.
$1,683,600
Explanation:
Overhead variance is difference between the budgeted and actual values of the overhead incurred by a company.
Applied Overhead is the overhead value calculated by multiplying the actual activity and budgeted applied rate.
Applied Overheads = $532,000 x 75% = $399,000
Actual Overheads = $412,600
Overheads Variance = Applied Overheads - Actual Overheads
Overheads Variance = $399,000 - $412,600 = -$13,600
As actual overheads are incurred more than the applied overhead, so the variance is unfavorable.
$13,600 unfavorable
2.
As the overhead is under-applied and it need to be adjusted and added in the cost of goods sold.
Cost of Goods sold = $1,670,000
Adjusted cost of goods sold = $1,670,000 + $13,600
Adjusted cost of goods sold = $1,683,600
Process Costing using First-in-First Out (FIFO) Crone Corporation uses the FIFO method in its processing costing system. The following data concern the company's Assembly Department for the month of October.
Cost in beginning work in process inventory $1,920
Units started and completed this month 3,130
Materials Conversion:
Cost per equivalent unit $9.50 $20.40
Equivalent units required to complete the units in
beginning work in process inventory 360 140
Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory 330 264
Required:
a. Determine the cost of ending work in process inventory
b. Determine the cost of units transferred out of the department during October.
Answer:
Cost of ending inventory= $8,520.6
Total cost of units transferred out=$99,863
Explanation:
Cost of ending inventory
Cost of items of inventory = cost per equivalent unit × No of units
Cost of items of inventory = ($9.50×330) + ($20.40 × 264)= $8,520.6
Total cost of units transferred out
The FIFO method of valuation of working in progress separates the units transferred out into opening inventory and fully worked.
The fully worked represents the units of inventory started and completed in the sames period.
The cost of units transferred out is the sum of h opening inventory and he fully worked. This done below:
Opening inventory = ($9.50 × 360) + ($20.40×140)= 6276
Transferred of fully worked = $(9.50 +$20.40) × 3,130= 93,587
Total cost of units transferred out = (6276 +93587)= $99,863
Allyson Gomez invests $8,000 today in an investment that earns 6 percent per year (compounded annually) for 25 years. The average inflation rate is expected to be 1.8 percent per year. She will have much more than $8,000 in 25 years BUT what would this future amount be if expressed in today’s dollars? a. $34,335 b. $21,981 c. $52,306 d. $12,496 e. $21,839
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The first thing to do here is to calculate what the amount of money invested would be in 25 years given the interest rate.
Mathematically, that can be written as;
V = P(1 + r)^n
Where V is the future value
P is the present value which is $8,000
r is interest rate which is 6% (6/100 = 0.06)
n is the number of years which is 25 years
Now plugging these values into the equation, we have
V = 8,000(1 + 0.06)^25
V = 8,000(1.06)^25
V = $34,334.97 which is approximately $34,335
We can now proceed to get what this future value would be today if we take the inflation rate into consideration
Mathematically, this can work as follows
P = V(1 + i)^n
Where P is the present value of the money when the inflation is taken into consideration
V is the future value of the money which was calculated from above as $34,335
i is the inflation rate which is 1.8% per annum = (1.8/100 = 0.018)
n is the number of years which is 25
Substituting these values, we have;
P = 34,335/(1 + 0.018)^25
P = 34,335/(1.018)^25
P = 21,980.75
Which is approximately P = $21,981

Here is the forecasted demand for all bearing types: Month Demand May 800 Jun 650 July 720 August 690 Sept 530 Oct 610 Nov 630 Dec 610 If the beginning inventory is 300 units and the desired ending inventory at the end of December is 500 units, how many units will be in inventory at the end of August
Answer:
August ending Inventory 160 units
Explanation:
It wishes a level output AKAK same production over the rest of the year
total demand:
we add up the demand of the moths and our desired ending inventory
then we subtract the beginning and divide over the eight months
800 + 650 + 720 + 690 + 530 + 610 + 630 + 610 + 500 desired ending - 300 beginning = 5,440
We divide by 8 = 680 per month
Now we can do the budget up to August to solve for the ending inventory

Big data analytics programs (which analyze massive data sets to make decisions) use gigantic computing power to quantify trends that would be beyond the grasp of human observers. As the use of this quantitative analysis increases, do you think it may decrease the "humanity of production" in organizations?
Answer:
The correct answer is: No, it may not decrease the humanity of production in organizations.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term known as ''humanity of production'' refers to that human element that gives to the company its capability of leadership and other human abilities. Moreover, when it comes to the big data analytics those programs would not decrease the humanity of production because in order to create all those programs and in order to read all the information that those programs give and to use it and implement there will be a need of using human capital to complete the whole objective. So therefore that human will be as need as machines.

Monroe invests $92,000 in cash and equipment that has a market value of $67,000. For the partnership, the amounts recorded for the building and for Fontaine's Capital account are:
Answer:
Building= $334,000
Fontaine's capital account= $217,000
Explanation:
From the question above
Fountain company and Monroe company come together to form a partnership.
Fontaine invests a building that has a market value of $334,000
The partnership takes charge for a $117,000 note secured by a mortgage on the building
Monroe invests $92,000 on cash and equipments
The cash and equipments has a market value of $67,000
Therefore the amount recorded for the building is $334,000
The amount recorded for Fontaine's capital account is
= $334,000-$117,000
= $217,000
Hence for the partnership the amounts recorded for the building and fontaine's capital account is $334,000 and $217,000 respectively.

(B)...
Reserves: $300 (Commercial Banking liabilities)
Based mostly on reserve requirements, banks would then deposit funds to Federal Reserve. All of the lenders will carry through.
(C)...
Treasury Deposits or bills = -$300
Certain bills would go down by $300 as either a result of Federal Reserve purchases.
(D)...
Bookings or Reserves: + $300
This would be growing by $300 because of the sale of treasury bills. It won't bring any changes to the aspect of liability.
If researchers add financial treasury obligations with reserves as well as circulating documents, so it becomes a financial basis. Such that the answer given is indeed the appropriate one.

Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $1,061 and matures in 25 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a coupon rate of 6.1 percent. The par value is $1,000. If the company's tax rate is 39 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt
Answer:
3.44%
Explanation:
For computing the after tax cost of debt we need to apply the RATE formula i.e shown in the attachment below:
Provided that,
Present value = $1,061
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 6.1% ÷ 2 = $30.5
NPER = 25 years × 2 = 50 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 2.82% × 2 = 5.64%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 5.64% × ( 1 - 0.39)
= 3.44%

If the Apple corporation sells a bond it is a. selling shares of ownership directly to the public. b. borrowing indirectly from the public. c. borrowing directly from the public. d. selling shares of ownership indirectly to the public.
Answer:
c. borrowing directly from the public.
Explanation:
If the Apple corporation sells a bond it is borrowing directly from the public. That is because corporate bonds are exactly that, they are bonds issued by a corporation in which the individual buying them is basically loaning money to the corporation which they will receive back the full amount that they loaned out as soon as the bond matures. Therefore by buying a corporate bond you are directly loaning that corporation money to finance their operations.
If Apple Corporation sells a bond, it is borrowing indirectly from the public. Therefore, the correct option is b.
A bond is a debt instrument issued by a corporation or government entity to raise funds. When Apple sells a bond, it is essentially borrowing money from investors or the public. In return, Apple promises to repay the principal amount of the bond along with periodic interest payments. Bonds do not involve selling shares of ownership in the company, as in the case of issuing stocks. Instead, bonds represent a form of debt financing for the issuer.
Thus, the ideal selection is option b.

Atkinson Construction assembles residential houses. It uses a job-costing system with two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct labor) and one indirect-cost pool (assembly support). Direct labor-hours is the allocation base for assembly support costs. In December 2016, Atkinson budgets 2017 assembly-support costs to be $8,800,000 and 2017 direct labor-hours to be 220,000.At the end of 2017, Atkinson is comparing the costs of several jobs that were started and completed in 2017.Laguna Model Mission ModelConstruction period Feb-June 2017 May-0ct 2017Direct material costs $106,550 $127,450Direct labor costs $ 36,250 $41,130Direct labor-hours 970 1,000Direct materials and direct labor are paid for on a contract basis. The costs of each are known when direct materials are used or when direct labor-hours are worked. The 2017 actual assembly-support costs were $8,400,000, and the actual direct labor-hours were 200,000.Required:1. Compute the (a) budgeted indirect-cost rate and (b) actual indirect-cost rate. Why do they differ?2. What are the job costs of the Laguna Model and the Mission Model using (a) normal costing and (b) actual costing?3. Why might Atkinson Construction prefer normal costing over actual costing?
Answer:
1. Compute the
(a) budgeted indirect-cost rate
$40 per labor hour
and (b) actual indirect-cost rate.
$42 per labor hour
Why do they differ?
Because total assembly support costs and labor hours were different.They both were actually lower than expected, but the labor hours were 9% lower while the costs were around 5% lower. That is why the actual rate increased (denominator decreased more than numerator).
2. What are the job costs of the Laguna Model and the Mission Model using (a) normal costing
Laguna Model Mission Model
assembly-support cost $38,800 $40,000
and (b) actual costing?
Laguna Model Mission Model
assembly-support cost $40,7400 $42,000
3. Why might Atkinson Construction prefer normal costing over actual costing?
The problem with actual costing is that they cannot be budgeted, you can only budget normal costing. Any business has to prepare budgets in order to control how their operations are being carried out and then they need to adjust them to the actual costs incurred.

Journalize the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts as of July 31. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank. July 31
Answer:
bad debt expense 97,866 debit
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 97,866 credit
Explanation:
We are given the table for the aging method from which we extract the
Total for Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 106,106
Now, as currently the allwoance for doubtful accounts has a balance of 8,240 we need to adjust to make up the difference
106,106 adjusted balance - 8,240 current balance = 97,866 adjustment
we will credit the allowance and recognzie this amount of bad debt expense
This way we are matching our net account receivables with our estimation of what we expect to collect
On February 18, 2021, Union Corporation purchased 600 IBM bonds as a long-term investment at their face value for a total of $600,000. Union will hold the bonds indefinitely, and may sell them if their price increases sufficiently. On December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, the market value of the bonds was $580,000 and $610,000, respectively.Required:2. & 3. Prepare the adjusting entry for December 31, 2021 and 2022. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Answer:
Dr unrealized holding gains and losses—OCI $20,000
Cr investment in bonds fair value adjustment $20,000
Dr investment in bonds fair value adjustment $30,000
Cr unrealized holding gains and losses—OCI $30,000
Explanation:
On 31st December 2021 the adjustment required is the difference between the cost of bond investment of $600,000 and the market value of the bonds which was $580,000, in a nutshell a unrealized loss of $20,000 is recorded.
The excess of fair value of market value of $610,000 over the previous year market value would be debited to fair value adjustment while it is also credited to unrealized holding gains and losses-OCI

The total value (debt plus equity) of Wilson Dover Inc. is $500 million and the face value of its 1-year coupon debt is $200 million. The volatility (σ) of Wilson Dover's total value is 0.60, and the risk-free rate is 5%. Assume that N(d1) = 0.9720 and N(d2) = 0.9050. Refer to the data for Wilson Dover Inc. What is the yield on Wilson Dover's debt?
Answer:
The yield on Wilson Dover's debt is 7.42%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the yield on Wilson Dover's debt we would have to calculate first the value of debt as follows:
value of debt=Total value*N(d1)-Debt*e∧-r fx period*N(d2)
value of debt=$500 million*0.9720-$200 million*2.7183∧-0.05*1*0.9050
value of debt=$486 million-$200 million*0.951229*0.9050
value of debt=$486 million-$172.1724 million
value of debt=$313.8276 million
=Total Value-Value of debt
=$186.17 million
The value of debt is $186.17 million
So, to calculate the yield we have to use the following formula:
Yield=(Face Value/current value)∧1/period-1
Yield=($200 million/$186.17 million)∧1-1
Yield=1.074286942-1
Yield=7.42%
The yield on Wilson Dover's debt is 7.42%
