In 2001, President George W. Bush and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan were both concerned about a sluggish U.S. economy. They also were concerned about the large U.S. trade balance deficit. To help stimulate the economy, President Bush proposed a tax cut. What are the effects of the proposed policy using the IS-LM model

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is given below.

Explanation:

The effect of this tax cut would be a resultant shift in the IS curve to the right, resulting in higher interest rates, currency appreciation, and bigger current account deficits. The tax cut would encourage consumers to spend more and, thereby increasing planned expenditure. The tax cut raises both income and the interest rate.

Each week your supervisor holds a meeting in which he invites you and all the other employees to give feedback regarding current projects. According to path-goal theory, which behavior best describes your supervisor?
1. Supportive
2. Directive
3. Participative
4. Achievement oriented

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the third option: Participative.

Explanation:

To begin with, the path-goal theory refers to leadership theory developed by Robert House in 1971 and whose main focus is on the behavior that a leader has among its followers and states that the behavior that he has will influece the satisfaction, motivation and performance of his followers.

Secondly, the theory states that there are four behaviors and one of them is the partcipative behavior whose characteristics are that the leader tends to consult with followers and ask for their suggestion before making a final decision and that is why the best behavior that describes correctly to the supervisor is the participative.

Answers

Answer:

Whelan, Inc.

The cash flow to stockholders for the year is $159,000, representing the cash dividends paid during 2019.

Explanation:

Cash flow to stockholders is the amount of cash that a company pays out to its shareholders, usually in the form of cash dividends.  Mainly, cash flows to stockholders in two major ways: dividends and stock price increases when shares are sold.  Dividends are cash flows to stockholders from the company.  These are usually determined by the board of directors.  Stock price increases are cash flows to stockholders from the stock exchange market.  They are determined by the company's performance and the sentiments of the investors in an open market with reference to the company's financial performance and position.

Depict the association and cardinality for the sales of cars at Elegant Limited based on REA mode

Answers

Answer:

Elegant Limited

a) Association for the sales of cars based on the REA model:

The association indicates the relationships that exist between economic agents in the sales of cars.  The relationships are between the seller (Elegant Limited) and the buyers or customers (private buyers and investors).  The association based on the REA model is that each economic agent exchanges some economic resources during an economic event.  Elegant Limited will give cars to customers in exchange for cash or initially and in some cases, a promise to pay cash later.  This is an economic event.  When the customer pays, another economic event takes place, and resources are also exchanged.

b) Cardinality of the sales of cars:  The cardinality defines the elements involved in the sales of cars based on the REA model.  The elements are the economic resources (cars and cash), the economic events or business transactions that take place (sales of cars and payment of cash), and the economic agents (Elegant Limited and customers) who make the events and the exchange of resources to happen.

Explanation:

The REA model is a framework for defining business processes.  It was originally proposed in 1982 by William E. McCarthy as a generalized accounting model, and contained the concepts of resources, events, and agents.  It proposed to replace accounting objects like assets and liabilities with real-life objects, including:

1) goods, services or money, or resources

2) business transactions or agreements that affect resources, events

3) people or other human agencies (other companies, etc.), agents.

Answer:

e. The average sales period = (average balance inventory / COGS) x 365 days =  {[($1,065,000 + $715,000)/2] / $3,995,000} x 365 days = 81.3 days

f. The operating cycle = average sales period + (average accounts receivable / total credit sales) x 365 days = 81.3 + {[($633,000 + $420,000)/2] / $5,600,000} x 365 days = 81.3 + 34.3 = 115.6 days

g. The total asset turnover = total sales / average assets = $5,600,000 / [($3,815,200 + $2,959,000)/2 = 1.66 times

h. The debt-to-equity ratio = total liabilities / total equity = $1,670,000 / $2,145,200 = 0.778 or 77.8%

i. The times interest earned ratio = EBIT / interest expense = $928,000 / $102,000 = 9.1

j. The equity multiplier = total assets / total equity = $3,815,200 / $2,145,200 = 1.78

Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 1-year at the end of the year = 6.11%

Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 2-year at the end of the year = ((1+6.1%)^3/(1+4.1%))^(1/2) - 1

Andrea Apple opened Apple Photography on January 1 of the current year. During January, the following transactions occurred and were recorded in the company's books:

1. Andrea invested $13,500 cash in the business.
2. Andrea contributed $20,000 of photography equipment to the business.
3. The company paid $2,100 cash for an insurance policy covering the next 24 months.
4. The company received $5,700 cash for services provided during January.
5. The company purchased $6,200 of office equipment on credit.
6. The company provided $2,750 of services to customers on account.
7. The company paid cash of $1,500 for monthly rent.
8. The company paid $3,100 on the office equipment purchased in transaction #5 above.
9. Paid $275 cash for January utilities.

Based on this information, the balance in the A. Apple, Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity at the end of the month would be:

A. $31,400.
B. $39,200.
C. $31,150.
D. $40,175.
E. $30,875.

Answers

Answer: D. $40,175

Explanation:

The balance in the Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity will include the Capital contributions of Andrea Apple to the business as well as the Net income from operations also known as Retained Earnings.

The Net Income for the month will be revenue less expenses.

Revenue

$5,700 cash and $2,750 on account for services provided in January.

Revenue is therefore,

= 5,700 + 2,750

= $8,450

Expenses

Expenses include the rent paid of $1,500 and the $275 paid for January Utilities.

= 1,500 + 275

= $1,775

Net Income = Revenue - Expenses

Net Income = 8,450 - 1,775

Net Income = $6,675

The Capital that Mr. Apple brought into the business refers to anything he contributed to the business whether in cash or otherwise.

The Capital therefore is,

- The $13,500 cash and the $20,000 worth of equipment.

The Capital Mr. Apple brought into the business is therefore,

= 13,500 + 20,000

= $33,500

The balance on the capital account will therefore be,

= Capital + Net Income

= 33,500 + 6,675

= $40,175

Value of T-bills = value of debt = $178,723

Therefore, value of equity = $510,638

Number of common shares = 10,000

Price per share = Value of equity / Number of shares

Price per share = $510,638 / 10,000 = $51.064

Price per share prior to repurchase is the same as price per share after repurchase.

However, number of shares repurchased equals;

$178,723 / $51.064 = 3499.99 = 3500 shares

Number of shares left after repurchase :

Totals shares - shares repurchased

10,000 - 3500 = 6,500

You recently received a letter from Cut-to-the-Chase National Bank that offers you a new credit card that has no annual fee. It states that the annual percentage rate (APR) is 16 percent on outstanding balances. What is the effective annual interest rate?

Answers

Answer:

Effect Annual rate of return =17.22%

Explanation:

The Effective annual rate of return is the equivalent rate earned where compounding is done frequently at period or interval  less than a year.

EAR = (1+r/m)^n× m - 1

EAR - Equivalent annual rate of return, r- annul rate of return, n-number of years

r= 16/12 =1.333%, n= 1    m= 12 (note there are 12 months in a year)

EAR = (1+0.16/12)^(1×12) -   1

EAR = 1.0133^12 - 1 = 0.1722

EAR   0.1722  × 100 =  17.22%

Effect Annual rate of return =17.22%

Concord Corporation had a 1/1/20 balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $36500. During 2020, it wrote off $30500 of accounts and collected $8600 on accounts previously written off. The balance in Accounts Receivable was $780000 at 1/1 and $940000 at 12/31. At 12/31/20, Concord estimates that 5% of accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible. What should Concord report as its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at 12/31/20

Answers

Answer:

$32,400

Explanation:

According to the situation for computation of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at 12/31/20 first we need to find out the actual balance which is shown below:-

Actual balance = Beginning Balance of Allowance + Amount reinstated - Amount written off + Uncollectible account expenses

= $36,500 + $8,600 - $30,500

= $14,600

Ending balance of Allowance = Balance of accounts receivables × Accounts receivable percentage at 12/31 - Actual balance

= $940,000 × 5% - $14,600

= $47,000 - $14,600

= $32,400

Therefore for reaching the ending balance of allowance we simply applied the above formula.

Gena Manufacturing Company has a fixed cost of $259,000 for the production of tubes. Estimated sales are 153,400 units. A before tax profit of $126,034 is desired by the controller. If the tubes sell for $22 each, what unit contribution margin is required to attain the profit target?

Answers

Answer:

$2.51

Explanation:

Gena Manufacturing Company calculation for contribution margin unit

Using this formula

Fixed cost + Tax profit/Estimated sales units

Let plug in the formula

Where:

Fixed cost =$259,000

Tax profit=$126,034

Estimated sales units=153,400

Hence:

(259,000 + 126,034) / 153,400

=$385,034/153,400

= $2.51

Therefore the contribution margin that is required to attain the profit target will be $2.51

The Solow model predicts that, over time, real GDP in developing economies could potentially converge to the same level of real GDP as developed economies. Which of the following is not consistent with convergence?

a. Investors seeking to build new factories would likely build those factories in developing economies that have some political stability.
b. Developing nations should converge because they can take advantage of technological discoveries made by developed economies.
c. Over time, developing economies become richer, and developed economies become poorer, until they reach the same level of wealth.
d. Because investment in developing nations yields relatively greater returns, capital will flow into developing economies, leading to relatively greater economic gro

Answers

Answer: c. Over time, developing economies become richer, and developed economies become poorer, until they reach the same level of wealth.

Explanation:

The Solow model which is a neoclassical framework focuses on long term Economics and does indeed speak to the convergence of the Real GDPs of Developed Countries with that of Developing countries.

However, of all the options listed, Option C goes against the model because convergence cannot happen if the Developed Countries keep getting richer while Developing countries keep getting poorer. Should that happen, they will never get to the same level of wealth and indeed might end up on opposite sides of the wealth spectrum with Developed Countries being extremely wealthy and Developing countries being extremely poor.

For convergence to happen, the conditions in A, B and D are preferable as they can indeed bring about the said convergence.

The W.C. Pruett Corp. has $200,000 of interest-bearing debt outstanding, and it pays an annual interest rate of 11%. In addition, it has $700,000 of common stock on its balance sheet. It finances with only debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock. Its annual sales are $1 million, its average tax rate is 35%, and its profit margin is 8%. What are its TIE ratio and its return on invested capital (ROIC)? Round your answers to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

a. Times Interest Earned (TIE) Ratio = 6.59 times

b. Return on invested capital (ROIC) = 10.48%

Explanation:

To estimate these, we have to first calculate the following:

Interest expenses = $200,000 * 11% = $22,000

Net income = Profit margin * Annual sales = 8% * $1,000,000 = $80,000

Income before tax  = Net income / (1 - Average tax rate) = $80,000 / (1 - 35%) = 123,076.92  

Tax = Income before tax * Tax rate = $123,076.92 * 35% = $43,076.92

Earning before interest and tax (EBIT) = Net income + Interest expenses + Tax = $80,000 + $22,000 + $43,076.92 = $145,076.92

Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) = EBIT * (1 - Average tax rate) = $145,076.92 * (1 - 35%) = $94,300

Invested capital = Common stock + Interest-bearing debt outstanding = $200,000 + $700,000 = $900,000

a. What are its TIE ratio?

Times Interest Earned (TIE) Ratio = EBIT / Interest expenses = $145,076.92 / $22,000 = 6.59 times

This indicates that the income of the W.C. Pruett Corp. is 6.59 times greater than its annual interest expense.

b. What are its return on invested capital (ROIC)?

ROIC = NOPAT / Invested capital = $94,300 / $900,000 = 0.1048, or 10.48%

The City Transit Authority (CTA) is trying to decide between railcars manufactured by French Corp and Japan Rail Car. The French Corp cars cost more to buy initially, but they are expected to last for 10 years. The Japan Rail Car cars are cheaper initially, but they will wear out in 6 years. The cash flows related to each of the choices are presented below. If the CTA’s cost of capital is 8 percent, which type of car should the CTA buy? Support your answer.

Answers

Answer: The Japan Rail Car should be purchased

Explanation:

To find the answer we can use the Net Present Cost. By calculating the total net present value of the total costs involved in both projects, the cheaper alternative can then be chosen.

The cash-flows for both projects are constant so an annuity can be used to calculate them.

Please refer to the annuity table attached.

The French Corp Car

It will cost $275,000 originally and then $10,000 every year after that. The cost of capital is 8%. The goal is to find the present value of all the cost. That can be done by,

=  (275,000) + PV of Annuity of $10,000 for 10 year and cost of capital 8% p.a. (look at the table for the intersection of 10 years and 8%)

= 275,000 + 10,000 (6.710)

= 275,000 + 67,100

= $342,100

The Japan Rail Car

It will cost $195,000 originally and then $15,000 every year after that. The cost of capital is 8%. Using the same method,

=  (195,000) + PV of Annuity of $15,000 for 6 year and cost of capital 8% p.a. (look at the table for the intersection of 6 years and 8%)

= 195,000 + 15,000(4.623)

=195,000 + 69,345

= $264,345

The Japan Rail Car costs less in terms of total cost over its period of operation and so should be the one purchased by the CTA.  

Tedd E. Bear has an annual salary of $48,000 with no other loans outstanding. Using the 25% guideline from class and with a 20% down payment, how expensive of a home can Tedd purchase using a 4%, 30 year mortgage

Answers

Answer:

The total loan value would be of $261,825

Explanation:

In order to calculate how expensive of a home can Tedd purchase using a 4%, 30 year mortgage we would have to calculate first the amount of annual payments as follows:

amount of annual payments = $48,000*0.25 = $12,000

PMT = 12,000/12 = 1000

FV = 0

rate = 4%/12

N = 30*12

Hence, use FV function in Excel  amount after down payment = $209,461.24

this represents 80% of the loan , so total loan value = $209,461.24/0.8 = $261,825

The total loan value would be of $261,825

The total loan amount is $261,825.

The calculation is as follows:

Amount of annual payments = 25% of $48,000 = $12,000

PMT = 12,000 ÷ 12 = $1,000

FV = $0

Rate = 4% ÷ 12 = 0.333%

N = 30 × 12 = 360

Here we have to apply the FV function in the excel.

So,  

Amount after downpayment = 209,461.24

The above amount  represents 80% of the loan

Now  

Total loan value is

= $209,461.24 ÷ 0.8

= $261,825

You are upgrading to better production equipment for your​ firm's only product. The new equipment will allow you to make more of your product in the same amount of time.​ Thus, you forecast that total sales will increase next year by 16 % over the current amount of 102 comma 000 units. If your sales price is $ 19 per​ unit, what are the incremental revenues next year from the​ upgrade?

Answers

Answer:

$310,080

Explanation:

Incremental revenue refers to the additional revenue generated by a certain project or activity. In this case, your sales should increase by 16% from 102,000 units to 118,320 units. Total revenue will increase from $1,938,000 (= 102,000 x $19) to $2,248,080 (= 118,320 x $19).

The incremental revenue = $2,248,080 - $1,938,000 = $310,080

On June 30, 2011, Cole Inc., exchanged 3,000 shares of Stone Corp. $30 par value common stock for a patent owned by Gore Co. The Stone stock was acquired in 2009 at a cost of $80,000. At the exchange date, Stone common stock had a fair value of $45 per share, and the patent had a net carrying value of $160,000 on Gore's books. Cole should record the patent at:

Answers

Answer:

$135000

Explanation:

Cole should record the patent at $135000. The intangible asset is recorded at the price at which it was purchased. Net carrying value of $160000 in the books of seller is not useful.

At the time of purchase of intangible asset, the fair value of stone stock exchanged was $45.

So the patent cost is =

3000 shares × $45 per share = $135000.

Cole should record the patent at this value.

A firm's average cost increases as it increases its output by expanding its plant and hiring additional workers (its only inputs to production). The firm's owner blames the increase in per-unit costs on the law of diminishing marginal productivity. The owner's reasoning is: A. correct because some inputs are fixed in the long run. B. incorrect because economies of scale are present. C. correct because marginal productivity must decrease in the short run. D. incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example.

Answers

Answer: D. incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example.

Explanation: While marginal productivity describes the extra output, or return, or profit gotten per unit by benefits from the production inputs of a company, the law of diminishing marginal productivity is one that recognizes that the quantity of all inputs of production cannot be changed at one time. The owner's reasoning of attributing the increase in per-unit costs on the law of diminishing marginal productivity is  incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example. Marginal productivity eventually declines because some inputs are fixed, but however, in the long run where no inputs are fixed, the law does not apply.
