Answer:
Secondary
Explanation:
Secondary research is the process of summarising and collating existing research. Original or primary research involves collection of data and analysis to make a conclusion on the subject of study.
Secondary research uses information from primary research.
In this instance Jennifer looked at industry-related publications, Hoover's Online, and ABI-Inform, which is a database that provides access to articles covering a wide-variety of business and industry related issues.
The data she is using are from primary research sources.
Data related to the inventories of Kimzey Medical Supply are presented below: Surgical Equipment $ 260 170 Surgical Supplies $ 120 Selling price Cost Replacement cost Costs to sell Normal gross profit ratio 90 Rehab Equipment $ 340 250 235 25 30 % Rehab Supplies $ 165 162 158 240 80 30 30% 10 30 % 20 % In applying the lower of cost or market rule, the inventory of surgical equipment would be valued at:_________
A) $170.
B) $152.
C) $230.
D) $240.
Answer: A) $170
Explanation:
In applying the Lower of Cost or Market Value, inventory is valued at the amount that is lower between the current market value or the cost of the inventory and recorded in the balance sheet.
Market Value can be calculated as the current value minus the cost to sell.
From the above question, the value of the Surgical Equipment is $260 and the cost to sell is $30.
That means that the Market Value is,
= 260 - 30
= $230
This figure is larger than the cost of the Surgical Equipment which is $170 so to record the inventory according to the Lower of cost or market rule, the $170 is picked as it is lower.

Protab Selling Price = 100000 units × $720 = $72,000,000
Selling price of option to purchase probook = 100000 units × 20% utilisation * $150 = $3000000
Selling price of option to purchase extended warranty = ($70 -$70)×100000 units * 40% = $0
Total = $75,000,000
Percentage of Protab selling price of Total Selling Price = $72,000,000 /$75,000,000 = 96%
Percentage of Option to purchase Probook of Total Selling Price = $3,000,000 /$75,000,000 = 4%
Percentage of Option to purchase extended warranty of Total Selling Price = 0 .00%
Total Transaction Price = 100000 units × $740 = $74,000,000
Allocation of Total Transaction price to Protab = $74,000,000 * 96% = $71040000

The following data were provided by Rider, Inc, which produces a single product:
Units in beginning inventory 0
Units produced 5,000
Units sold 4,500
Variable costs per unit:
Manufacturing $10
Selling and administrative $4
Fixed costs in total:
Manufacturing $15,000
Selling and administrative $10,000
a. lower than the net operating income under variable costing.b. higher than the net operating income under variable costing.c. the relation between absorption costing and variable costing net operating incomes cannot be determined.d. the same as the net operating income under variable costing.
Answer:
The correct option is B, higher than the net operating income under variable costing
Explanation:
In calculating the net operating profit under variable costing, the fixed manufacturing cost of $15,000 is deducted as a whole in arriving at net profit.
However, under absorption costing method, only the goods sold are charged with their own portion of fixed manufacturing cost totaling $15,000
Fixed under variable costing method=$15,000
fixed cost under absorption costing method=$15,000/5,000*4500=$13500
Since fixed cost is lower under absorption costing method, net profit tends to be higher.

A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month and incurred the following costs: Production costs (5,000 units): Direct materials $70,000 Direct labor 20,000 Variable factory overhead 10,000 Fixed factory overhead 2,000 $102,000 Operating expenses: Variable operating expenses $17,000 Fixed operating expenses 1,000 18,000 If 1,000 units remain unsold at the end of the month and sales total $150,000 for the month, the amount of operating income reported on the absorption costing income statement would be
Answer:
Net operating income= $50,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production costs (5,000 units):
Direct materials $70,000
Direct labor 20,000
Variable factory overhead 10,000
Fixed factory overhead 2,000
Total= 102,000
Operating expenses:
Variable operating expenses $17,000
Fixed operating expenses 1,000
Sales= 4,000 units
Sales revenue= $150,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary product cost= 102,000/5,000= $20.4
Income statement:
Sales= 150,000
COGS= 20.4*4,000= (81,600)
Gross profit= 68,400
Variable operating expenses= (17,000)
Fixed operating expenses= (1,000)
Net operating income= 50,400
The four conditions (mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption and circular wait) are necessary for a resource deadlock to occur. Give an example to show that these conditions are not sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur. When are these conditions sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur
Explanation:
The conditions sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur is when a deadlock will prevail for process A, B, and C when two resources R and S; if only one instance of each resources is allowed.
Solution
Deadlock conditions
A deadlock is a situation where two or more processes request for same critical resource at the same time.
The mutual exclusion applies a restriction to a resource when the resource is used by any process, it should become unavailable for the other resources
The hold and wait allocations explains that any process which is allocate resources must hold them; till all needed resources are nor sure.
In the meantime, if any other processes need a resource which is held by another process, then the latter will release the resource to prevent deadlock.
No pre-emption states that the operating system can grant access to resources to another process while it is in use by another process; depending on the priority , to prevent deadlock.
Circular wait should not be implemented so that resources being requested by process are allocated when they get free.
Now,
Three processes A, B, and C functions on a system, having two distinct resources R and S.
The resource R has one instant active while resource S has two instances available.
The instance of R is allocated to a process A after request. first instance of resource S is allocated to process B, and second instance of resource S is allocated to process C.
When a request is placed by process B for resource R, then the resource is not available for execution. the process A request for resource S which is used by both C and B.
All the four conditions prevail in this situation; yet deadlock does not occur.
The resource S is released by process C and is allocated to process A. when process A finishes, it releases resources and resources R is allocate d to process B.
Hence all three processes end without a deadlock.
However, the deadlock will prevail for process A, B, and C when two resources R and S; if only one instance of each resources is allowed.

You are given the following information concerning a noncallable, sinking fund debenture: Principal: $1,000 Coupon rate of interest: 7 percent Term to maturity: 15 years Sinking fund: 5 percent of outstanding bonds retired annually; the balance at maturity If you buy the bond today at its face amount and interest rates rise to 12 percent after three years have passed, what is your capital gain or loss
Answer:
Explanation:
A) If you buy the bond today at its face amount and interest rates rise to 12% after three years have passed what is your capital gain or loss?
B) If you hold the bond 15 years what do you recive at maturity?
C) What is the bond current yield as of right now?
D) Given your price in a, what is the yield of maturity
E) Is there any reason to believe that the bond will be called after three years have elapsed if interest rates decline
F) what proportion of the total debt issue is retired by the sinking fund
G) What assets secure this bond?
h) If the final payment to retire this bond is $1,000,000 how much must the firm invest to accumulate this sum if the firm is able to earn 7% on the invest funds.
A) If the interest rates rise to 12%, the price of the bond assuming semi-annual interest payments, will be
1000*pvif(6,24) + 35*pvifa(6,24)
= 1000*0.2470 +35*12.5504
= 247 + 439.26 = $686.26
The capital gain would be 1000 - 686.26 = $313.74.
B) Bond face value is $1000 and coupon rate is 7%. Half yearly interest = 1000*7%/2 = $35.
Maturity value of $1000, plus half yearly interest of $35.
C) The bonds current yield = 7%, assuming the price of the bond is $1000 today.
D) The yield to maturity is 12%.
E) No, the bonds are not callable.
F) 5% of the bonds are retired every year. So 14 years * 5 = 70%. Balance 30% is paid full at EOY 15.
5%*14 = 70%.
G) Debentures are not secured by any specific asset.
H) It is not specified as to how the money would be invested; whether its a
lump sum invested on day 0 or equal amounts invested at each year end
If it a lump sum to be invested now, the amount should be 1000000/107^15 = $362,446
If it in equal amounts to be invested each year end the annual investments is given by 1,000,000/fvifa(7,15)
= 1000000/25.1290
= $3979.

A. True B. False
10. Retained earnings is the total amount of cash and other assets paid in to the corporation by stockholders in exchange for capital stock.
A. True B. False
Explanation:
1) Corporation management means that experts can be hired as managers. On the other hand, the managers may not act in the best interest of the owners, even though, they are legally required to do so.
2) Limited liability of stockholders, government regulations, and additional taxes are the major disadvantages of a corporation. Limited liability of stockholders may be a disadvantage to non-stockholders, but it is an advantage for stockholders, who will not be required to contribute more money to offset liabilities of the corporation in the event of liquidation. Since corporations are distinct persons in law, they also need to be regulated and taxed as separate persons. So, this is not a disadvantage. It is only a consequence of being separate entity, like all individuals.
3) Organization costs include legal payments, state and federal registration, and incorporation fees, promotions, and charges associated with the underwriting of stocks and bonds. Organization costs can be classified as assets on the company's balance sheet.
4) A share in a company's stock accords some rights on the holder as itemized above.
5) The number of issued shares may be equal to or less than the authorized shares. Some companies do not issue all the shares that they are authorized to issue at the same time.
6) Authorization of capital stock does not require a journal entry. A memorandum record of the authorization is instead maintained to show the number of authorized capital shares and the par value.
7) There is no question 7.
8) Initial public offerings are made directly to investors. The stock exchange market caters for the exchange of shares among investors. The company is not involved and does not take any financial record, except the register of shareholders.
9) The market price of shares may be more or less than the par value. The market price is determined by investors, who exchange shares at arm's length in the stock exchange market. The par value is determined by those authorizing the issue of shares.
10) Retained Earnings are the income generated by the corporation which have not been distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends.
The new growth theory states that A. technological advances are the responsibility of the government. B. the subsistence level income leads to technological advances. C. technological advances are the result of discoveries and choices. D. it is impossible to replicate production activities. E. technological advances are the result of random chance.
Answer:
C. technological advances are the result of discoveries and choices.
Explanation:
The new growth theory was developed by a man named med Paul Romer. This new growth theory stresses the role which is determined by human choices.
The new growth theory states that technological advances are the result of discoveries and choices, rather than random choices. It explains the fact that new innovations and technological advancement are not the result of random chance, but they occur as a result of humans and their desire for new innovations.
Therefore option C is correct
Which of the following statements about pricing is true? Small changes in price can have big effects on company profit but not on the number of units sold. Small changes in price can have big effects on the number of units sold but not on company profit. Small changes in price can have big effects on the number of units sold and also on company profit. Compared to the other 4P’s, pricing is important because once an item has been priced, changing its price can be quite difficult.
Answer:
Small changes in price can have big effects on the number of units sold and also on company profit
Explanation:
Small change in price will definitely have an effect on the amount of units sold due to a corresponding change in demand that will follow this change, and also will affect the amount of profit that the company generates. This changes can either be positive or negative to the company. Example is the increase in price of coca-cola might trigger customers into switching to pepsi-cola, resulting in a reduced demanded quantity which means less units are produced. The overall effect of these will leave the company with less profit.

Answer: a. 31.304. b. 1525. c. 1589.17
Explanation:
Lead time = 5 weeks
Standard deviation of weekly demand = 14 pints
a. ✓L × Standard deviation Weekly
= ✓5 × 14
= 2.236 × 14
= 31.304
b. Average demand during the 5-week lead time will be:
= Leadtime × weekly demand
= 5 × 305
= 1525
c. Note that the Z value at 96% service level is 2.05
R=dL+z*sd*sqrt(L)= (305 × 5)+ (2.05 × 14 × ✓5)
= 1525 + 64.17
= 1589.17
If the Fed carries out an open market operation and sells U.S. government securities, as long as the federal funds interest rate remains within the corridor the federal funds rate ________ and the quantity of reserves ________. Group of answer choices rises; decreases falls; increases falls; decreases rises; increases
Answer:
rises; decreases
Explanation:
When the Fed sells US securities, it is engaging in a contractionary monetary policy. This means that they are trying to cool down the economy and lower inflation rate by reducing the money supply. This will lead to an increase in the federal funds rate and the whole economy's interest rates.
Since the Fed absorbs money from the banks and other investors, the quantity of banks' reserves decreases, which leads to less loans and higher interest rates charged.

City Auto Parts recently traded in store fixtures. The exchange had commercial substance. The old fixtures had a cost of $48,000 and accumulated depreciation of $14,000. City paid $101,000 for the new store fixtures. These new fixtures had a market value of $117,000. There is a loss of $18,000 on this exchange.True or False
Answer:
The correct option is true
Explanation:
The book value of the old fixtures at the date of exchange which is the cost less accumulated depreciation till date is computed thus:
Book value of old fixtures=$48,000-$14,000=$34000
Expected cash payable by the company for the new fixtures is the market value of the new fixtures minus the carrying value of the old fixtures.
Expected cash=$117,000-$34,000=$83,000.00
Loss on the exchange =cash paid -expected cash payable=$101,000-$83,000=$18000
SCC Co. reported the following for the current year:
Net sales $ 59,000
Cost of goods sold $ 48,800
Beginning balance in inventory $ 3,100
Ending balance in inventory $ 9,100
Compute (a) inventory turnover and (b) days’ sales in inventory.
Hint: Recall that inventory turnover uses average inventory, and days’ sales in inventory uses the ending balance in inventory."
Answer:
a. The inventory turnover is 8.00 times
b. The days’ sales in inventory is 68 days
Explanation:
a. In order to calculate the inventory turnover we would have to use the following formula:
inventory turnover=cost of goods sold/average inventory
inventory turnover=$ 48,800/($3,100+$ 9,100)/2
inventory turnover=8.00 times
b. In order to calculate thedays’ sales in inventory we would have to use the following formula:
days’ sales in inventory=(Ending invenory/cost of goods sold)*365
days’ sales in inventory=($9,100/$48,800)*365
days’ sales in inventory=68 days
During the year, direct labor costs of $30,000 were incurred, manufacturing overhead totaled $42,000, materials purchased were $27,000, and selling and administrative costs were $22,000. Champagne sold 25,000 units of product during the year at a sales price of $5.00 per unit. What were the total manufacturing costs for the year assuming $2 comma 080 of indirect materials were used during the period?
Answer:
Using the models for total manufacturing cost that includes just direct labour costs, direct materials cost and overhead costs, total manufacturing cost = $99,000
Using the model that includes selling and administrative costs & indirect materials cost, total manufacturing cost = $123,080
Explanation:
Total manufacturing cost is a sum of the amount of cost incurred by a business to produce goods in a reporting period.
It usually consists of direct labour costs, direct materials cost and overhead costs.
In some models, the selling and administrative costs & cost of indirect materials are included.
Direct labour cost = $30,000
Manufacturing overhead costs = $42,000
Direct materials cost = $27,000
Total manufacturing cost = 30000 + 42000 + 27000 = $99,000
Selling and Administrative costs = $22,000
Indirect materials cost = $2,080
Total materials cost including selling and administrative costs & indirect materials cost = 99000 + 22000 + 2080 = $123,080

You want to have $1.5 million in real dollars in a retirement account when you retire in 40 years. The inflation rate is 2.7% and the nominal rate of return on your investment is 10%. What real amount must you deposit each year in the account to achieve your goal?
Answer:
Annual deposit= $6,952.82
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You want to have $1.5 million in real dollars in a retirement account when you retire in 40 years.
Inflation rate= 2.7%
Interest rate= 10%
First, we need to deduct from the interest rate the inflation rate.
Real interest rate= 0.10 - 0.027= 0.073
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the annual deposit:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (1,500,000*0.073) / [(1.073^40)-1]
A= $6,952.82
On May 31 of the current year, the assets and liabilities of Riser, Inc. are as follows: Cash $16,800; Accounts Receivable, $7,050; Supplies, $700; Equipment, $11,750; Accounts Payable, $9,000. What is the amount of owner's equity as of May 31 of the current year?
Answer:
$27,300
Explanation:
Riser Inc. had the following liabilities and assets on May 31 of the current year
Cash= $16,800
Account receivables= $7,050
Supplies= $700
Equipment= $11,750
Account payable= $9,000
Since Assets = Liabilities+ stockholder's equity
The stockholder's equity can be calculated as follows
Cash+Account receivables+Supplies+Equipment= Account payable+stockholder's equity
$16,800+$7,050+$700+$11,750=$9,000+stockholder's equity
$36,300=$9,000+stockholder's equity
Stockholder's equity= $36,300-$9,000
Stockholder's equity= $27,300
Hence the amount of owner's equity as of May 31 of the current year is $27,300

g On January 1, 2020, Marigold Company issued 10-year, $1,890,000 face value, 6% bonds, at par. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 16 shares of Marigold common stock. Marigold’s net income in 2020 was $470,000, and its tax rate was 20%. The company had 94,000 shares of common stock outstanding throughout 2020. None of the bonds were converted in 2020. (a) Compute diluted earnings per share for 2020.
Answer:
$3.78
Explanation:
The First step is to calculate basic earning per share then making the adjustments to the basic earning per share to arrive to a diluted earning per share.
Basic Earning per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders.
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :
Net Income $470,000
Less Bond Interest ($1,890,000×6%×80%) ($90,720)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $379,280
Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders Calculation :
Outstanding Common Shares 94,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders 94,000
Basic Earning per Share = $379,280 / 94,000 = $4.03
Diluted Earnings per Share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders.
Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $379,280
Add Back Bond Interest ($1,890,000×6%×80%) $90,720
Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $470,000
Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders.
Outstanding Common Shares 94,000
Add Convertible Bonds ($1,890,000/$1,000×16) 30,240
Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders 124,240
Diluted Earnings per Share = $470,000 / 124,240 = $3.78

Consider a country where all money is currently held as cash and the money supply has a value of $2,200. A banking system is developed, and the residents of the country deposlt the $2,200 of cash into the banking system and decide they no longer want to hold any cash. If the reserve ratio is equal to 4%, then the banking system has the ability to create $_________ money supply in the economy will be equal to $__________
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
Suppose a relative has promised to give you $1,000 as a wedding gift the day you get engaged. Assuming a constant interest rate of 7%, consider the present and future values of this gift, depending on when you become engaged.
Complete the first row of the table by determining the value of the gift in one and two years if you become engaged today.
Present Value Value in One Year Value in Two Years
Date Received (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars)
Today 1,000.00 ? ?
In 1 year ? 1,000.00
In 2 years ? 1,000.00
Complete the first column of the table by computing the present value of the gift if you get engaged in one year or two years.
The present value of the gift is __________ if you get engaged in two years than it is if you get engaged in one year.
Answer:
a.
Future Value in One Year = $1,070.00
Future Value in Two Years = $1,144.90
b.
Present Value of amount received in 1 year = $934.58
Present Value of amount received in 2 years = $873.44
The present value of the gift is less/lower if you get engaged in two years than it is if you get engaged in one year.
Explanation:
These can be done as follows:
Present Value Value in One Year Value in Two Years
Date Received (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars)
Today 1,000.00 1,070.00 1,144.90
In 1 year 934.58 1,000.00
In 2 years 873.44 1,000.00
a. Complete the first row of the table by determining the value of the gift in one and two years if you become engaged today.
To do this, we use future value (FV) formula as follows:
Future Value = A * (1 + r)^n ........................................ (1)
Where;
A = Amount received to day = $1,000.00
r = interest rate = 7%, or 0.07
n = number of years
Using equation (1), we therefore have:
Future Value in One Year = 1,000.00 * (1 + 0.07)^1 = $1,070.00
Future Value in Two Years = 1,000.00 * (1 + 0.07)^2 = $1,144.90
b. Complete the first column of the table by computing the present value of the gift if you get engaged in one year or two years.
To do this, we use present value (PV) formula as follows:
Present Value = A / (1 + r)^n ........................................ (2)
Where;
A = Amount received in specified year = $1,000.00
r = interest rate = 7%, or 0.07
n = number of years
Using equation (2), we therefore have:
Present Value of amount received in 1 year = 1,000.00 / (1 + 0.07)^1 = $934.58
Present Value of amount received in 2 years = 1,000.00 / (1 + 0.07)^2 = $873.44
Since $873.44 is less/lower than $934.58, we therefore have:
The present value of the gift is less/lower if you get engaged in two years than it is if you get engaged in one year.
The correct statement will be that the present value of the wedding gift is $873.43 if you get engaged in two years, then it is $934.57 if you get engaged in one year when the future value is $1000.
The future value of wedding gifts will be $1070.00 and $1144.9 at the end of first and second year respectively. The computation for the values can be done by applying values to the formula.
Calculation of future value and present valueThe present value of the gift can be calculated as using the formula below, [tex]\rm Present\ Value= \dfrac{Future\ Value}{1+ Fixed\ Interest\ Rate}\\\\\\\\\rm Present\ Value= \dfrac{\$1000}{1.07}\\\\\\\rm Present\ Value= \$ 934.57[/tex]The present value for one year is 934.57 USD. Now for two years, [tex]\rm Present\ Value= \dfrac{\$934.57}{1.07}\\\\\rm Present\ Value= \$873.43[/tex]Now to calculate the future value when the present value is considered to be as $1000. We will use the formula below, [tex]\rm Future\ Value\ for\ One\ Year=Present\ Value\ +\ \dfrac{Present\ Value\ x\ Time\ x\ Interest\ Rate}{100}\\\\\\\rm Future\ Value\ for\ One\ Year= 1000\ +\ \dfrac{1000\ \rm x\ 1\ \rm x\ 7}{100}\\\\\\\rm Future\ Value= \$1070[/tex]For the end of two years, the future value will be, [tex]\rm Future\ Value= Present\ Value\ (1+\dfrac{Interest}{no.\ of\ Compoundings})^n^t\\\\\\\rm Future\ Value= 1000\ (1+\dfrac{0.07}{1})^1^ x\ ^2\\\\\rm Future\ Value= \$1144.9[/tex]Hence, the value of the gifts can be ascertained as per the calculations above.

A firm's bonds have a maturity of 14 years with a $1,000 face value, have an 8% semiannual coupon, are callable in 7 years at $1,073.00, and currently sell at a price of $1,135.93. What are their nominal yield to maturity and their nominal yield to call? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
YTM = 6.51%
YTC = 6.40%
Explanation:
We need to solve using excel goal seek or bond formulas to generate the yield (interest rate) which matches the future couponb and maturity payment with the current selling price of the bond:

PV 408.06
PV c $727.8688
PV m $408.0612
Total $1,135.9300
As this is a semiannual rate we multiply it by 2
0.032529972 x 2 = 0.065059944 = 6.51%
We repeat the procedure with changing the time and end-value to adjust for the callabe conditions:

g You currently hold an inflation-indexed bond, which pays out real coupons of 10% per year, starting one year from now. The bond has a real face value of $600, and will mature three years from today. If inflation over the next year will be 2% per year for the next three years, what will be the total nominal payment you will receive at the date of maturity
Answer:
$618 dollars
Explanation:
The beginning face value will be our starting position: $600
Then, we have a 2 percent increase over the next three years
this makes for a principal at maturity of:
600 x (1 + 2% x 3 years ) = $618
This makes each coupon return in coins to also increase over time as, they are calcualted based on the adjusted face vale. This method iguarantee the 10% return on the bond regardless of inflation during the period.
