When landlords wrongfully withhold security deposits, they can often be sued for three times the amount of the security deposit. Is this reasonable? Should a landlord have to pay $3000 for a $1000 debt? What if you fail to pay a rent on time? Should you have to pay three times the amount of your normal rent? If your answers to these two questions are different, why is that?
Answer:
yes it is reasonable
Explanation:
subsection 12 of chapter 4 of the articles of lease-rental agreement states that if a landlord wrongfully withhold security deposits the landlord must pay 3x the amount due to all legal actions and no we don't have to pay 3x rent if we miss a payment we only have to pay the late fee and any other listed fees listed on your lease
A firm expects to have net income of $5,000,000 during the next year. The company’s target capital structure is 35% debt and 65% equity. The company's director of capital budgeting has determined that the optimal capital budget for the coming year is $6,000,000. If SL Computer follows a residual distribution policy (with all distributions in the form of dividends) to determine the coming year’s dividend, then what is the firm’s expected dividend payments?
Answer:
$1,100,000
Explanation:
The firm expected to have 5,000,000 as net Income
Capital Structure; Debt=35% , Equity= 65%
$6,000,000 is determined to be the Optimal capital budget for the coming year
The firm’s expected dividend payments following a residual distribution policy is = Net Income – [Total Capital Budget x Equity Ratio]
Where Net Income =5,000,000 Total capital budget =6,000,000 Equity Ratio= 65%
Hence Total Dividend Payment = $5,000,000 – [$6,000,000 x 65%]
= $5,000,000 - $3,900,000
= $1,100,000
The firm’s expected dividend payments is = $1,100,000,

If the equilibrium interest rate in the money market is 5%, then at an interest rate of 2% sellers of interest-bearing financial assets _____ interest rates to find willing buyers. Sales of financial assets do not depend on the rate offered. must offer higher can offer 2% can offer lower
Answer: must offer higher
Explanation:
The financial world of investment is inter-correlated and products can sometimes be substitutes for one another. What this means is that if one financial product is not offering enough return on investment or is risky or for any other reason shakes their confidence in it, then investors tend to run to financial products that are perceived as better.
This is why when interest rates are stable and stocks are volatile, stock markets tend to lose value and bond markets sometimes gain value as investors leave the stock market and come to the bond market.
In the scenario described, the interest rate in the money market is 5%. If interest bearing financial assets are only at 2%, investors will leave/ not invest in those interest bearing bonds because the rate is lower. The sellers of such assets will therefore have to make them more attractive by increasing the the interest rates to find willing buyers.

You have a portfolio that is invested 14 percent in Stock R, 50 percent in Stock S, and the remainder in Stock T. The beta of Stock R is .81, and the beta of Stock S is 1.36. The beta of your portfolio is 1.30. What is the beta of the Stock T
Answer:
1.41 Approx
Explanation:
The computation of the beta for the stock T is shown below:
Beta of portfolio = Respective betas × Respective investment weights
1.30 = (0.14 × 0.81) + (0.5 × 1.36) + (0.36 × beta of the Stock T)
1.30 =0.7934 + (0.36 × beta of the Stock T)
beta of the Stock T = (1.3 - 0.7934) ÷ 0.36
= 1.41 Approx
We simply multiplied the beta of each stock with its investment weights order to calculate the beta of the stock T as portfolio beta is given

g The sticky-wage theory of the short-run aggregate supply curve says that when the price level rises more than expected, a. production is more profitable and employment rises. b. production is more profitable and employment falls. c. production is less profitable and employment rises. d. production is less profitable and employment falls.
Answer:
A. Production is more profitable and employment rises
Explanation:
Wages are sticky if market prices or wages don’t adjust quickly to changes in the economy. When prices are sticky, the Short Run Aggregate Supply curve slopes upward. It slopes upward because at least one price is fixed. The curve shows that a higher price level leads to more output
Therefore when the price level rises more than expected, production is more profitable and employment rises.
Perimeter, Inc. acquired 30 percent of South Co.’s (South) voting stock for $200,000 on January 1, 20X1. Perimeter’s 30 percent interest in South gave Perimeter the ability to exercise significant influence over South’s operating and financial policies. On that date, South reported assets of $500,000 and liabilities of $100,000. South had equipment with a book value of $60,000 that was actually worth $160,000. The equipment had a remaining useful life of five years. During 20X1, South reported net income of $80,000 and paid dividends of $50,000. What amount of income should Perimeter recognize in 20X1 as a result of this investment?
Answer:
$18,000
Explanation:
Required:
Find the amount of income Perimeter recognizes in 20X1 as a result of the investment.
Amount of income to be recognized should be calculated as:
Share of net income - Amortization of equipment in excess of book value
Where,
Share of net income = 30% of net income
= 30% × $80,000
= $24,000
Less: Amortization of equipment in excess of book value =
[tex] \frac{160,000 - 60,000}{5 yrs} * 0.30 [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{100,000}{5} * 0.30 [/tex]
[tex] = 6,000 [/tex]
Therefore, amount of income to be recognized =
$24,000 - $6,000
= $18,000
Amount of income Perimeter recognizes in 20X1 as a result of this investment is $18,000

The company is forecasting an increase of 25% for its after-tax income next year, but it also expects it will have to issue 1,500,000 new shares of stock (raising its shares outstanding from 5,500,000 to 7,000,000) If Cute Camel's forecast turns out to be correct and its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio does not change, what does the company's management expect its stock price to be one year from now? (Round any P/E ratio calculation to four decimal places).
A. $25.22 per share
B. $25.75 per share
C. $18.92 per share
D. $31.53 per share
One year later, Cute Camel's shares are trading at $49.60 per share, and the company reports the value of its total common equity as $35,308,000. Given this information, Cute Camel's market-to-book (M/B) ratio is ___________

A. No
B. Yes
Which of the following statements is true about market value ratios?
A. Companies with high research and development (R&D) expenses tend to have low P/E ratios
B. Companies with high research and development (R&D) expenses tend to have high P/E ratios.
The stock price one year from now will be A. $25.22 per share .
The market to book value after one year is 9.833.
A company's shares can exhibit a negative P/E ratio. This is true.
The true statement is that companies with high research and development (R&D) expenses tend to have high P/E ratios.
How to calculate the valueCurrent year price earning ratio = 25.75*5500000/8000000
17.7
current price earning = 17.70
next year earning = 8000000*(1+25%)
10000000
If PE ratio remains constant next year then share price next year is
10000000*17.70/7000000 = 25.22 per share
Market to book value after one year = (7000000*49.60)/35308000 = 9.833.
It should be noted that because of negative earing of the company negative PE ratio is possible. Hence PE ratio negative is possible

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

Agatha's Inc. is about to introduce a new product in the market, but is not sure as to how it should price the product. The company is facing intense competition from five other companies. In such a situation, what should be Agatha’s Inc. pricing objective
Answer and Explanation:
There are two main pricing objective and strategy i.e competitive pricing and penetrative pricing which are explained below:
1. Competitive pricing :
In this Agatha's Inc, all five rivals should evaluate pricing models for a related kind of product. If your product has a little more value added than your collegaues, then you can establish a target price target that is higher than the competitors.
Now to do that, it's necessary to send the customer a message that they're purchasing value for a price.
2. Penetrative pricing :
When the target price is set on the basis of the competitive pricing model , it is important to obtain the product favourably from the consumer and to do so you can start selling a little lower than the target price and sell the goods as a discount or promotional deal.
If the initial sales are strong and buyers like the product then return the product to target pricing and do intensive marketing to sell the message that the product 's cost is a bargain for the value provided by the company.
The mixture of the above two pricing strategies would ensure a better positioning of Agatha's Inc product with better profitability.
An advance payment of $1,000 for services was received on December 1 and was recorded as a liability. By the end of the year, $400 has been earned. What is the correct adjusting entry that should be include?
Answer:
The answer is "$400"
Explanation:
Given:
advance payment = $ 1,000
by the end of year he earned= $ 400
So, the total eared value is $ 400 because it is the Debit unearned income.
Answer:
Debit unearned revenues for $400
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are journal entries made to record revenues and expenses accounts. These entries are made at the end of an accounting cycle.
Payment received for services on December 1 that was recorded as a liability = $1,000
Amount earned by the end of the year = $400
Therefore,
adjusting entry: Debit unearned revenues for $400 so that expenses matched to the accounting period in which the revenue paying for them is earned.
The common stock and debt of Northern Sludge are valued at $62 million and $38 million, respectively. Investors currently require a 16.8% return on the common stock and a/an 7.2% return on the debt. If Northern Sludge issues an additional $21 million of common stock and uses this money to retire debt, what happens to the expected return on the stock? Assume that the change in capital structure does not affect the interest rate on Northern’s debt and that there are no taxes.
Answer:
the expected return on the stock will decrease
Explanation:
total firm's value $100 million
equity $68 milliondebt $32 millionrequired rate of return:
cost of equity 16.8%cost of debt 7.2%if the firm issues new stock and retires debt:
equity $89 milliondebt $11 millionThe return on equity (ROE) measures how much money a company earns per dollar invested, ROE formula = net income / total equity
now let's suppose that the firm's net income is $10 million:
under the old capital structure ROE = $10 / $68 = 14.7%
now under the new capital structure net income will increase by the amount of interests saved = $21 x 7.2% = 1.512
new net income = $11.512
new ROE = $11.512 / $89 = 12.9%
following this example, the new ROE will be 12.2% lower than before because the cost of debt was much lower than the cost of equity.
as the weight of equity increases, the company's WACC will increase also:
old WACC = (68/100 x 16.8%) + (32/100 x 7.2%) = 11.424 + 2.304 = 13.728%old WACC = (89/100 x 16.8%) + (11/100 x 7.2%) = 14.952 + 0.792 = 15.744%Identify the financial statement (or statements) that each account would appear on.

Peterson Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,500,000 for indirect labor and $870,000 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. If 92,000 machine hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The company's plantwide overhead rate is $47.5

A company has invested $60,000 in machinery with a 5-year useful life. The machinery will have no salvage value, as the cost to remove it will equal its scrap value. The annual benefits from the machinery are $15,000. The firm has a tax rate of 45% and will use the sum-of-years.. digits depreciation, compute the after-tax rate of return. The company uses a MARR of 7%.
Answer:
19.7%
Explanation:
initial cost $60,000
depreciation expense:
5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15
Year 1: 5/15 = 33% = $19,800
Year 2: 4/15 = 27% = $16,200
Year 3: 3/15 = 20% = $12,000
Year 4: 2/15 = 13% = $7,800
Year 5: 1/15 = 7% = $4,200
yearly benefits:
Year 1 = ($15,000 - $19,800) x 45% tax credit = $2,160 deferred tax benefit
Year 2 = ($15,000 - $16,200) x 45% tax credit = $540 deferred tax benefit
Year 3 = $15,000 - $12,000 = $3,000 ⇒ $1,350 in taxes are offset by the previous deferred tax benefits x 45% tax = $2,160 - $1,350 = $810 remaining tax benefits
Year 4 = $15,000 - $7,800 = $7,200 - $3,240 in taxes + $810 in deferred tax benefits = $4,770
Year 5 = ($15,000 - $4,200) x (1 - 45%) = $5,940
this investment yields 3 positive benefits during years 3-5, if we discount them to find the present value = $3,000/1.07 + $4,770/1.07² + $5,940/1.07³ = $2,803.74 + $4,166.30 + $4,848.81 = $11,818.85
after-tax rate of return = $11,818.85 / $60,000 = 19.7%

If the market price of an orange increases from $0.80 to $1.05, then consumer surplus. Name First orange Second orange Third orange Allison $2 $1.5 $0.75 Bob $1.5 $1 $0.6 Charisse $0.75 $0.25 $0 Group of answer choices increases by $0.75 decreases by $0.95. decreases by $0.75 decreases by $1.00
Answer:
decreases by $0.95.
Explanation:
Here is the full question :
For each of three potential buyers of oranges, the table displays the willingness to pay for the first three oranges of the day. Assume Allison, Bob, and Charisse are the only three buyers of oranges, and only three oranges can be supplied per day.
First OrangeSecond OrangeThird OrangeAllison$2.00$1.50$0.75Bob$1.50$1.00$0.60Charisse$0.75$0.25$0
Refer to Table above. If the market price of an orange increases from $0.80 to $1.05, then consumer surplus
Group of answer choices increases by $0.75 decreases by $0.95. decreases by $0.75 decreases by $1.00
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Change in consumer surplus = $1.85 - $2.8 = $-0.95
Please check the attached images for an explanation on how the answer was derived.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer: decreases by $0.95.
Explanation:
Allison $2 $1.5 $0.75
Bob $1.5 $1 $0.6
Charisse $0.75 $0.25 $0
so consumer surplus = willingness to pay - market price
market price before = $0.80
consumer surplus before = Allison + Bob + Charisse
consumer surplus before = (1.2 + 0.7 + 0) + ( 0.7 + 0.2 + 0) + ( 0 + 0 + 0)
consumer surplus before = 2.8
market price after = $1.05
consumer surplus after = Allison + Bob + Charisse
consumer surplus after = (0.95 + 0.45 + 0) + ( 0.45 + 0 + 0) + ( 0 + 0 + 0)
consumer surplus after = 1.85
NOW
consumer surplus before - consumer surplus after
2.8 - 1.85 = 0.95
therefore consumer surplus decreases by $0.95
On the grant date, January 1st, 2015, the stock was quoted on the stock exchange at $63 per share. The fair value of the options on the grant date was estimated at $15 per option. The amounts of compensation expense ABC should recognize with respect to the options during 2015, 2016, and 2017 are:
Answer:
2015 $31,500
2016 $31,500
2017 $31,500
Explanation:
Number of Options in total × Fair Value of the Stock per option
Where
Number of Options in total = 63
Fair Value of the Stock per option =15
Hence:
(63*100) ×$15
=$6,300 ×$15
= $ 94,500
Compensation expense will be:
2015, 2016, and 2017 will give us 3 years
= $94,500/3
= $31,500 for 2015, 2016, and 2017
Fair value of the options is said to be evaluated on grant date and expenditure is been recognised in 3 years because the employee will be working for 3 years which is from year 2015 to 2017
Which of the following is a macro factor underlying the trend toward greater globalization?A. increase in diversity in consumer tastes and preferencesB. increase in nationalization of private organizationsC. dramatic developments in information processing and other technologiesD. rise of communism across the globeE. increase in trade regulations across the globe
Answer:
The correct answer is Option C (dramatic developments in information processing and other technologies)
Explanation:
Globalization caused by several factors, example are improved markets, transportation, policies and cultures, improved technology, can be explained as the process by which different parts of the world are connected due to the spread of ideas, people, technology, goods. Types of globalization are: Economic globalization, political globalization, and cultural globalization.
Factors underlying the trend toward greater globalization are micro level (individual) and macro level (society). Macro factors include, barriers to distribution of good and services among countries, and technological change, which is very important as it greatly affects globalization.

In contrast to a differentiator, a cost-leader will:
a. focus its research and development on process technologies to improve efficiency.
b. charge a premium price for its products and services.
c. avoid an organizational structure that relies on strict budget controls.
d. build an organizational culture where creativity and customer responsiveness thrive.
Answer: a. focus its research and development on process technologies to improve efficiency.
Explanation:
A Cost Leadership strategy entails reducing the costs associated with production to the point that you are the most efficient producer in the industry. By reducing cost, the company is able to see higher profitability margins and could be able to lower sales prices thereby capturing greater market share.
The Cost Leader will therefore focus on coming up with ways with which it can keep costs at a minimum because it is important to their mode of operations.
A Differentiator on the other hand aims to increase market share by creating a product that people will see as different and will buy due to the added value. They will focus more on supporting creativity to make better products as well as customer responsiveness to see what it is that the customers like so that they can offer it.
