Answer:
(a) FIFO
cost of ending inventory = $442.00
cost of goods sold = $486.00
(b) LIFO
cost of ending inventory = $354.00
cost of goods sold = $566.00
(c) weighted average cost
cost of ending inventory = $391.00
cost of goods sold = $529.00
Explanation:
(a) FIFO
cost of ending inventory
cost of ending inventory = Number of Units left × Earliest Price
= 34 × $13.00
= $442.00
cost of goods sold (46 units sold during the year)
cost of goods sold : 20 units × $10 = $200
26 units × $11 = $286
Total = $486
(b) LIFO
cost of ending inventory
cost of ending inventory : 20 units × $10 = $200
14 units × $11 = $154
Total = $354
cost of goods sold (46 units sold during the year)
cost of goods sold : 30 units × $13 = $390
16 units × $11 = $176
Total = $566
(c) weighted average cost
cost of ending inventory
cost of ending inventory = Number of Units left × Average price
New Average Price = ((20 units × $10) + (30 units × $11)) / 50 units
= $10.60
New Average Price = ((50 units × $10.60) + (30 units × $13)) / 80 units
= $11.50
cost of ending inventory = 34 units × $11.50
= $391.00
cost of goods sold (46 units sold during the year)
cost of goods sold = Number of Units Sold × Average price
= 46 units × $11.50
= $529.00
c
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.
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.

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.

3. Under variable costing, closing inventory = 400 units x $0.50 (variable production costs per unit) = $200.
Under absorption costing, closing inventory = 400 units x $1 (production cost per unit) = $400
Since closing inventory is $200 higher under absorption costing, then net operating income during 2011 increases by $200.
4. a) Variable costing is more likely to result in inventory buildups. Since variable costing determines the value of closing inventory only using variable manufacturing costs, their value is much lower. E.g. in this case the value of closing inventory 2011 under variable costing is $200, while under absorption costing it is $400. This means that less costs are transferred from one year to another.
b) Cost of goods sold must include all production costs (both variable and fixed). This way COGS costs cannot be over estimated during one year and under estimated the next.
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

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.

Answer:
The correct answer is:
A coordinated deployment of a firm’s resources to achieve competitive advantage. (b)
Explanation:
The goal of every business is to maximize profit, hence, business strategy is paramount in achieving this, and it is a combination of all the decisions taken, and actions implemented to achieve business goals and to gain a competitive advantage in the market. From this definition, it is therefore noted that business strategies are effectively drawn up at the beginning of the business year, because it is like a roadmap for the business, and implemented throughout the period, although, it can also change depending on the condition of the business environment. Note also that business strategy is different from the business plan, while business plans sets the goals of the business, business strategy states how to achieve these goals.

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.
Before you begin to compose a message, you should conduct research to collect the necessary information. To avoid frustration and inaccurate messages, be sure to consider the receiver's position.
Which questions should you ask yourself before determining what and how to research?
A) Can I access information electronically to speed up the research process?
B) Is it really important to be writing to this person, or should I call him or her?
C) What strategies should I use when looking up information in the library database?
D) What does the receiver need to know about this topic?
Answer:
A) Can I access information electronically to speed up the research process?
C) What strategies should I use when looking up information in the library database?
D) What does the receiver need to know about this topic?
Explanation:
To determine what and how a research should be conducted, several factors ought to be considered. Some of the factors of consideration include these listed below.
Before setting out to to conduct a research, it is vital that the researcher understands the position of the receiver on the subject matter. This implies having an accurate understanding of what the receiver already knows about the subject matter. This would inform what further information needs to be added during the research. It is also important to have a good strategy for getting information in the library database as literary sources are segmented in libraries. Therefore, it would be unwise to obtain information randomly. Electronic platforms like the internet are also a good source of information which would be helpful if incorporated in the research process.Eagle Adventures, Inc. stock is quite cyclical. In a boom economy, the stock is expected to return 30%, 12% in a normal economy, and negative (20%) in a recessionary period. The probability of a recession is 15%. There is a 30% chance of a boom economy. The remainder of the time, the economy will be at normal levels. What is the overall expected value of the returns on Eagle Adventures, Inc. stock
Answer:
Expected Value of the return = 12.6%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return is the weighted average of all the possible returns associated with an investment decision. The returns are weighted using the probability associated with their outcomes.
Expected return = WaRa + Wb+Rb + Wn+Rn
W- weight of the outcome, R - return of the outcome
W- Probability of the expected outcome, R- expected return under a circumstance
The probability of having a normal economy
Note that the sum of the probability of different outcomes should equal to one. Hence, the probability of economy being normal is
= 100% -(15%+30%)= 55%.
Expected Value of the return
(0.3× 30%) + (0.55× 12%) + (0.15 × -20%) =0.126
=0.126 × 100
= 12.6 %
Expected Value of the return = 12.6%

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.

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
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
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
Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $70,000 or $200,000 with equal probabilities of .5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 6% per year.
Required:
a. If you require a risk premium of 8%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?
b. Suppose that the portfolio can be purchased for the amount you found in (a) What will be the expected rate of return on the portfolio?
c. Now suppose that you require a risk premium of 12%. What is the price that you will be willing to pay?
d. Comparing your answers to (a) and id. what do you conclude about the relationship between the required risk premium on a portfolio and the price at which the portfolio will sell?
Answer:
(a) $118,421 (b) $135,000 (c) $114,407 (d) The portfolio that has a risk higher will sell at a lower price rate. The discount additional value is regarded as a risk of consequence
Explanation:
Solution
(a) If you require a risk premium of 8%, the total return expected on the risky portfolio is given as follows:
E(r) =Risk premium + rf
= 8% + 6% = 14%
Thus
The portfolio is given as follows:
Probability Return
0.5 $70,000
0.5 $200,000
Hence the dollar return that is expected is computed as follows:
E(r) =∑p(s)r(s)
=Now, 0.5 x 70,000 + 0.5 x 200,000
=$135,000
Now,
we want 135,000 to be 14% of our initial investment, so, the portfolio present value is:
Present value = $135,000/1.14
=$118,421
(b)The expected rate of return on the portfolio, suppose that the portfolio can be bought or the amount 118,421
Then
The expected rate of return =[ E(r) ] = $118,421 * [ 1 + E(r)]
= $118,421 *(1+ 0.14) = $135,000
(c) The price that you are willing to pay when the premium is 12%, then the risk free rate is given by 6%
Thus,
E(r) =Risk premium + rf
=12% + 6% = 18%
The dollar expected return is stated as follows:
E(r) =∑p(s)r(s)
Now, 0.5 x 70,000 + 0.5 x 200,000
=$135,000
we want 135,000 to be 18% of our initial investment, so, the portfolio present value is:
Present value = $135,000/1.18
= $114,407
(d) The portfolio that has a risk higher will sell at a lower price rate. The discount additional value is regarded as a risk of consequence.
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

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.
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
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.
