2. The Fourth of July Company agreed to ship a quantity of fireworks to Behan. After Behan pays in full, he learns that state law prohibits this type of sale. Before the fireworks are sent, Behan calls to cancel this contract and to demand his money back. May he recover his money in court
Answer:
Behan will recover his amount.
Explanation:
The contract has not been formed as the contract is only enforceable if the contract is legally allowed which means that the selling of fireworks in this case scenario is not allowed and hence Behan and Fourth of July Company are both equally responsible for not committing to such type of agreements. So the company must payback the money as the contract is not enforceable in the jurisdiction.
T/F: Risk management, a formalized way of dealing with hazards, is the logical process of weighing the potential costs of risks against the possible benefits of allowing those risks to stand uncontrolled.
Answer:
True

Jamal just inherited some money from a distant cousin overseas. He would like to put some of it in a bond and is looking at two choices. Bond A has five years to maturity, a semiannual coupon of 6% and a face value of $1,000. Bond B has ten years to maturity, an annual coupon of 4% and a face value of $1,000. Jamal knows that the rate expected in the marketplace for investments similar to these is 5%.
1. What is the present value of the coupon stream on each bond?
2. What is the present value of the face value on each bond?
3. What is the total value of each bond?
4. If Jamal sees the two bonds in the Wall Street Journal and they are both priced at 99, which bond should he buy?
Answer:
i. = $262.56 , = $308.87
ii. = $781.198 , = $613.91
iii. Bond A = $1,043.76 , Bond B = $922.78
Explanation:
(i) Present Value of Coupon Payment
Bond A :- Semiannual Coupon Amount = $1,000 * 6% * 6 / 12 = $30
Total Semiannual Period = 5 * 2 = 10
Semiannual Interest = 5% / 2 = 2.5%
Present Value of Coupon Payment = $30 * PVAF (2.5% , 10)
= $30 * 8.752
= $262.56
Bond B :- Annual Coupon Amount = $1,000 * 4% = $40
Annual Periods = 10
Annual Interest = 5%
Present Value of Coupon Payment = $40 * PVAF ( 5% , 10)
= $40 * 7.72
= $308.87
(ii) Present Value of Face Value of Bond
Bond A = $1,000 * PVF (2.5% , 10 periods)
= $1,000 * 0.7812
= $781.198
Bond B = $1,000 * PVF (5% , 10)
= $1,000 * 0.6139
= $613.91
(iii) Total Value of Each Bond
Bond A = $262.56 + $781.198 = $1,043.76
Bond B = $308.87 + $613.91 = $922.78
(iv)If Jamal sees the two bonds in the Wall Street Journal and they are both priced at 99, he should consider:
If the Bond Current Price is lower than Bond Fair Price then he should Buy the Bond
If the Bond Current Price is higher than Bond Fair Price then he should not buy the bond
Market Price of Bond = $99
He should buy Bond A But not Bond B

Find the nominal annual rate of interest compounded monthly if $1200 accumulates to $1618.62 in five years.
Answer:
The nominal annual interest rate is 6%
Explanation:
The future value of a sum of money an be calculated as follows,
FV = PV (1+i)^n
Where,
PV is present value i is the interest raten is the number of compounding periodsAs we already know the FV, the PV and the number of compounding periods, we can calculate the value of i. The value of i here represents the nominal annual interest rate denominated in monthly terms.
Annual interest rate denominated in monthly terms = Annual i / 12
As the total period in years is 5 years, the total period in monthly terms will be 5 * 12 = 60. So n is 60.
Plugging in the available values, we get the following expression which should be solved to get the monthly i.
1618.62 = 1200 * (1+i)^60
1618.62 / 1200 = (1+i)^60
1.34885 = (1+i)^60
Taking the 60th root of both sides.
(1.34885)^1/60 = (1+i)^60/60
1.004999998 = 1 + i
1.00499998 - 1 = i
i = 0.00499998 rounded off to 0.005 or 0.5%
If the annual interest rate denominated in monthly terms is is 0.005 or 0.5%, then the annual interest rate is,
Annual interest rate = 0.005 * 12 = 0.06 or 6%

Which of the following statements is true? In market equilibrium:
a. There are uncomsummated wealth destroying transactions
b. There are unconsummated value creating transactions
c. None of these
d. There are no unconsummated wealth creating transactins
Answer: d. There are no unconsummated wealth creating transactions
Explanation:
In an equilibrium, a price has been reached that everyone is satisfied with. This is why there are no unconsummated wealth creating transactions.
The market has managed to bring together people who are want a certain good more than they will pay for it and sellers who value the good less than they will receive for it. The Equilibrium therefore sets a price that is fair on both these people which will mean that they will not be able to unfairly trade with one another. The person who values the good more than they can pay will be able to pay the person who values the goods less than they will receive. Equilibrium has brought them to a middle ground.
ABC Company keeps their accounting records on the cash basis. During the year, ABC received $260,000 from clients, and ABC paid $85,000 to cover operating expenses. Account balances as of the dates given are as follow:
January 1 December 31
Accounts Receivable $24,000 $52,000
Accrued Liabilities $56,000 $40,000
Unearned Service Revenue $35,000 $65,000
Prepaid Expenses $26,000 $28,000
In addition, depreciation expense for the current year is $16,000.
Accrual basis net income is:
a. $181,000
b. $145,000
c. $201,000
d. $165,000
Answer:
a. $181,000
Explanation:
The Income Statement consists of Revenue and Expenses recorded on Accrual Basis. The Accrual Basis of Accounting states that Revenue and Expenses must be recorded as and when they Occur or Incur not when cash is paid or received.
Calculation of Net Income will thus be as follows :
Revenue Received $260,000
Unearned Revenue($65,000-$35,000) $30,000
Total Revenue $290,000
Less Expenses :
Expenses ($85,000+$26,000-$28,000) $83,000
Depreciation $16,000
Net Income $181,000
In the context of the competitive environment of business, unlike leading-edge firms, bleeding-edge firms offer products just as the market becomes ready to embrace them. a. True b. False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Bleeding edge firms provide products that are untested and carry a high risk. Products are unreliable and lead adopters stand the risk of making big losses in event that the product is not well received in the market
Leading edge firms on the other hand deal in products that are well tested and accepted by the market.
So the statement that - unlike leading-edge firms, bleeding-edge firms offer products just as the market becomes ready to embrace them. Is not true
Products offered by bleeding edge firms are not embraced by the market as they are untested and risky
Mr. Grove's argument is to provide additional incentives to U.S. firms for domestic investment in more mass production. If implemented, this would have the largest impact on firms using which of the four integration-responsiveness strategies?A) Transnational strategy because such incentives help differentiation.B) Multi-domestic strategy because incentives would increase global responsiveness.C) Global-standardization strategy because incentives would lower domestic costs.D) International strategy because these incentives would reduce pressure for responsiveness globally.E) Global-standardization strategy because incentives align with the death-of-distance.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: Global-standarization strategy because incentives would lower domestic costs.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term of ''global-standarization strategy'' in the field of business is known because of being part of the group of the four integration-responsiveness strategies and is the one that focus in the standarization of the product in a globally way. Therefore that this type of strategy is the one that would be used in the case of looking for an investment in the mass production locally due to the fact that the firms will be producing goods in a standard way and therefore that they would use universal supplies in every production in order to increase the amount of the production to achieve a mass number.
The Prospect Company estimates that its overhead costs will amount to $602,000 and the company's manufacturing employees will work 86,000 direct labor hours during the current year. Overhead costs are allocated based on direct labor hours. If actual overhead costs for the year amounted to $619,000 and actual labor hours amounted to 87,000, then overhead cost would be:___________.
A- underapplied by $10,000.
B- overapplied by $4,000.
C- underapplied by $17,000.
D- overapplied by $10,000.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated:
Overhead= $602,000
Direct labor hours= 86,000
Actual:
Overhead= $619,000
Direct labor hours= 87,000
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 602,000/86,000= $7 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH=7*87,000= $609,000
Finally, we determine the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 619,000 - 609,000
Under/over applied overhead= 10,000 underallocated

The Titan retires a $24.6 million bond issue when the carrying value of the bonds is $22.2 million, but the market value of the bonds is $28.3 million. The entry to record the retirement will include: Multiple Choice A credit to cash for $22.2 million. A credit of $6.1 million to a gain account. A debit of $6.1 million to a loss account. No gain or loss on retirement.
Answer:
A debit of $6.1 million to a loss account
Explanation:
The answer is A debit of $6.1 million to a loss account.
To calculate this:
the carrying value of the bonds $22.2 million is subtracted from the market value of the bonds $28.3 million.
Carrying value, $22.2 million, less cash paid to retire the bonds of $28.3 million
= $28.3 - $22.2
= $6.1 million to a loss account.
Heidee Corp. and Leaudy Corp. have identical assets, sales, interest rates paid on their debt, tax rates, and EBIT. However, Heidee uses more debt than Leaudy. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A) Heidee would have the higher net income as shown on the income statement.
B) Without more information, we cannot tell if Heidee or Leaudy would have a higher or lower net income.
C) Heidee would have the lower equity multiplier for use in the Du Pont equation.
D) Heidee would have to pay more in income taxes.
E) Heidee would have the lower net income as shown on the income statement.
Answer:
E) Heidee would have the lower net income as shown on the income statement.
Explanation:
Heidee and Leaudy have the same Earning Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT).
They both also have the same interest rate paid on debt.
So if Heidee uses more of their debt than Leaudy it means they will incur more interest payment on debt.
This will result in less income for the company.
On the other hand Leaudy uses less debt so their interest expense is low and income is higher.
Heidee would have the lower net income as shown on the income statement.
The curvilinear relationship of corporate performance and diversification indicates that: a. the less related the businesses acquired, the higher performing the organization. b. dominant-business corporate strategies tend to be higher performing than related constrained or unrelated business strategies. c. none of the strategies consistently outperforms the others. d. the highest performing business strategy is related constrained diversification.
Answer: d. the highest performing business strategy is related constrained diversification.
Explanation:
Multiple studies by strategic management experts have shown that business performance tends to relate in a curvelinear fashion with diversification and have shown that the companies who take advantage of this the most are companies using a related constrained diversification strategy.
This strategy involves expanding by acquiring companies or Businesses which have a similar business to the original company and then sharing resources, assets and knowledge amongst them.
In doing this they are applying the knowledge and resources as well as core competencies that made the original company successful to the acquired businesses so that they too can grow as the original company did.

A firm sells 1000 units per week. It charges $15 per unit, the average variable costs are $10, and the average costs are $25. In the long run, the firm should a. Shut-down because it is cost effective to pay off the remaining fixed costs b. Continue operating as the firm is covering all the variable costs and some of the fixed costs c. Shut-down as the firm is making a loss of $10,000 per week d. Shut-down as price is lower than average cost
Answer:
b. Continue operating as the firm is covering all the variable costs and some of the fixed costs
Explanation:
A firm should shutdown operations if its price is less than average variable cost.
The price the firm sells is $15
Average variable cost is $10.
Price is greater than average variable cost in excess of $5.
The $5 covers some of the average fixed cost.

The standard deviation from investing in the asset is: (Round to the nearest hundredth percent. Answer in the percent format. Do not include % sign in your answer (i.e. If your answer is 4.33%, type 4.33 without a % sign at the end.))
Answer:
standard deviation from investing in the asset is: 2.76
Explanation:
From the information given above; the main task to do is to calculate for the standard deviation from investing in the asset ,but in order to do that; we must first determine the expected return value and the variance.
The expected return can either be the profit or loss the investor predict to get after investing on an instrument. It can be determined by multiplying the potential outcomes by the chances of them occurring and then totaling these results.
Here;
the potential outcome = Probability of the States
chances of them occurring = Percentage Returns
∴
Expected return = (0.25 × 5%) + (0.55 × 10%) + (0.20 × 13%)
Expected return = (1.25 + 5.5 + 2.6)%
Expected return = 9.35%
Variance = 0.25 × (5% - 9.35%)² + 0.55 × (10% - 9.35%)² + 0.20 × (13% - 9.35%)²
Variance = 0.25 ( -4.35%)² + 0.55 (0.3575%)² + 0.20 (3.65%)²
Variance = 0.0473 + 0.0023 + 0.0266
Variance = 0.0763
Finally; the standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{variance}[/tex]
standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt {0.0763[/tex]
standard deviation = 0.276
To the nearest hundredth percent and by answering in the percent format without including the % sign ; we have
standard deviation = 2.76
A supermarket uses a periodic review system to manage inventory of gallons of drinking water. Average demand is 152 gallons of water per day with standard deviation of 33 gallons per day. It costs $57 to order water from the supplier, and orders are delivered after 4 days. The holding cost for a gallon of water is $0.11 per year. The supermarket is open 360 days per year. If the supermarket aims for a 94.5% service level for gallons of drinking water (z = 1.6), what value should be used for T, the target inventory position at the time of ordering?
The target inventory position is T= ______ gallons.
Answer:
The target inventory position is T= 713.6 gallons.
Explanation:
Given:
Average demand =per day = D = 152 Gallons
Standard deviation of demand = σ = 33 Gallons per day
Lead time for delivery = L = 4 days
Z value for 94.5% service level = 1.6
The target inventory position = (Average demand x Lead time) + Safety stock
= (D × L) + (Z× σ × [tex]\sqrt{L}[/tex])
= (152 × 4) + (1.6 × 33 × [tex]\sqrt{4}[/tex])
= (152 × 4) + (1.6 × 33 × 2)
= 608 + 105.6
= 713.6
The value of the target inventory position will be 713.6 gallons.
The following can be illustrated from the information given:
Average demand per day, D = 152Standard deviation of demand, σ = 33Lead time for delivery, L = 4Z value for 94.5% service level = 1.6Therefore, the target inventory position will be:
= (Average demand x Lead time) + Safety stock
= (D × L) + (Z× σ × ✓L )
= (152 × 4) + (1.6 × 33 × ✓4 )
= (152 × 4) + (1.6 × 33 × 2)
= 608 + 105.6
= 713.6
Therefore, the target inventory position will be 713.6 gallons.

Sally makes deposits into a retirement account every year from the age of 30 until she retires at age 65. a) If Sally deposits $ 1100$1100 per year and the account earns interest at a rate of 9 %9% per year, compounded annually, how much does she have in the account when she retires? b) How much of that total amount is from Sally's deposits? How much is interest?
Answer:
a)
Balance of account at retirement = $237,281.83
b)
Total Deposited amount = $38,500
Interest Amount = $198,781.83
Explanation:
A fix periodic payments for the specific period of time is the annuity payment. Deposit of $1,100 per year in retirement account is annuity payment.
a)
We can calculate the balance of account on retirement by using following formula
Future Value of Annuity = P x ( 1 + r )^n - 1 / r
Where
P = Periodic payments = $1,100
r = 9%
n = 65 years - 30 years = 35 years
Placing values in the formula
Balance of account at retirement = $1,100 X ( 1 + 9% )^35 - 1 / 9%
Balance of account at retirement = $237,281.83
b)
Total Deposited amount = $1,100 x 35 = $38,500
Interest Amount = Balance of account at retirement - Total Deposited amount = $237,281.83 - $38,500 = $198,781.83
