Answer:
8.9%
Explanation:
From the question above
- The investment has 20% chance of earning 30% rate of return
= 20/100
Number or chances= 0.2
- The investment has a 50% chance of earning 10% rate of return
= 50/100
Number of chances = 0.5
- The investment has 30% chance of losing 7%
= 30/100
Number of chances= 0.3
Therefore, the expected return on investment can be calculated as follows
=0.2(30) + 0.5(10) + 0.3(-7)
=6 + 5 - 2.1
= 11-2.1
= 8.9%
Hence the expected return on investment is 8.9%
Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 5.4 pounds $ 3.00 per pound $ 16.20 Direct labor 0.4 hours $ 6.00 per hour $ 2.40 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded:
a. Ten thousand four hundred pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.90 per pound.
b. The company produced only 1,040 units, using 9,360 pounds of material. (The rest of the material purchased remained in raw materials inventory.)
c. Five hundred and sixteen hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $6,192.
Required: Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials 5.4 pounds $ 3.00 per pound.
10,400 pounds of material was purchased at a cost of $2.90 per pound.
The company produced only 1,040 units, using 9,360 pounds of material.
To calculate the direct material price and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (3 - 2.9)*10,400
Direct material price variance= $1,040 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 5.4*1,040= 5,616
Direct material quantity variance= (5,616 - 9,360)*3
Direct material quantity variance= $11,232 unfavorable
Suppose the U.S. economy is initially at long run equilibrium, when there is an unexpected large increase in the price of steel used by firms in production. How does this impact the U.S. economy? (write out either "inflationary" or "recessionary" In response to this what monetary policy would the Fed employ? (write one of the following: "raise taxes", "lower taxes", "raise money supply", or "lower money supply" What is the most likely way the Fed will accomplish this change in the monetary policy? (write one of the following: "buy securities", "sell securities", "raise discount rate", "lower discount rate", or "legislation" This action by the Fed will cause interest rates to _______. (Write out "increase" or "decrease" The end result of the monetary policy is a shift of which curve in which direction. (Write out one of the following: "AD right", "AD left" "AS left", "AS right"
Answer:
The price hike in the price of steel would cause an inflationary push in the U.S. economy, because steel is a input to the production processes of many firms.
In this scenario, the fed would lower the money supply in order to stop the inflationary push from continuing. To do so, the fed would sell government securities.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 20X9, the city of Moorhead constructed a new courthouse that was budgeted to cost $5,000,000. Moorhead used a capital projects fund to account for the construction activities. In July of 20X8, a bid was accepted from Diamond Construction to build the courthouse for $4,800,000. On June 15, 20X9, Diamond completed construction and submitted a bill to the city for $4,900,000. The city accepted the bill and paid Diamond the entire amount owed, except for a 10 percentage retainage. On the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance prepared for the capital projects fund for the year ended June 30, 20X9, expenditures should be reported at
Answer:
Expenditures should be reported at $4,900,000
Explanation:
According to the given data On June 15, 20X9, Diamond completed construction and submitted a bill to the city for $4,900,000.
As city already accepted the bill and identified the liability, which they have to pay in case construction meets all the agreed requirement. 10% is just retention to deduct only if work not as per agreed terms and requirement
Hence, The expenditure will be recorded at actual amount spent for construction irrrespective of budget or retention amount.
So, so expenditures will be $4,900,000
Lucy's Music Emporium opened its doors on January 1, 2015, and it was granted permission to use the same depreciation calculations for shareholder reporting and income tax purposes. The company planned to depreciate its fixed assets over 20 years, but in December 2015 management realized that the assets would last for only 15 years. The firm's accountants plan to report the 2015 financial statements based on this new information. How would the new depreciation assumption affect the company's financial statements
Answer: d. The firm's cash position in 2015 and 2016 would increase.
Explanation:
The financila statements had been calculated with the view that fixed assets would be depreciated over a 20 year period. However, it was discovered that the assest should be depreciated over 15 years instead. This reduction in the period would have the effect for increasing the depreciation payment.
For example, say the asset cost $20,000 and was originally to be depreciated over 20 years using Straight Line Depreciation. This means that the depreciation per year would be,
= [tex]\frac{20,000}{20}[/tex]
= $1,000 a year.
If it was however discovered that it was supposed to be 15 years that figure would go to,
= [tex]\frac{20,000}{15}[/tex]
= $1,333.33 a year
Notice how depreciation increased. Lucy's Music emporium will therefore see their depreciation cost rise. Depreciation is subtracted from revenue as it is tax deductible. When Lucy's Emporium deduct this new depreciation, they will have less profit. They will be taxed on this less profit and so pay a lower tax. This will thus increase their cash holdings because Depreciation is a non cash expense and does not actually require a cash payment.

Explanation:
American Corporation has the following financial information. Year 1 Year 2 Cash $ 202.95 $ 245.90 A/R 398.02 485.34 Inventory 785.12 648.54 If Year 1 is the base year, what is the percentage increase/decrease of each current asset amount
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Since Year 1 has been given as the base year, the percentage change will be:
(Year 2 - Year 1)/Year 1 × 100
Cash:
= (245.90 - 202.95)/202.95 × 100
= 42.95/202.95 × 100
= 0.21 × 100
= 21% Increase
A/R:
= (485.34 - 398.02)/398.02 × 100
= 87.32/398.02 × 100
= 0.22 × 100
= 22% Increase
Inventory:
= (648.54 - 785.12)/785.12 × 100
= -136.58/785.12 × 100
= -0.17 × 100
= 17% decrease
Rapid Enterprises applies manufacturing overhead to its cost objects on the basis of 75% of direct material cost. If Job 17X had $84,000 of manufacturing overhead applied to it during May, the direct materials assigned to Job 17X was:
a. $63,000.
b. $84,000.
c. $112,000.
d. $147,00
Answer:
Direct material cost = $112,000
Explanation:
Pre-determined overhead absorption rate rate = Estimated overhead for the period / estimated direct material cost
Pre-determined overhead absorption rate rate (OAR= 75% of direct material cost
Applied overhead = OAR × direct material cost
Applied overhead = 75% × direct material cost
Let direct material cost be represented by y
84,000= 75% × y
y = 84,000/75%= 112000
Direct material cost = $112,000
Jones, CPA, is auditing the financial statements of XYZ Retailing, Inc. What assurance does Jones provide that direct effect noncompliance that is material to XYZ’s financial statements and noncompliance that has a material but indirect effect on the financial statements will be detected?
A. Direct effect noncompliance: Reasonable; indirect effect noncompliance: none.
B. Direct effect noncompliance: Reasonable; indirect effect noncompliance: reasonable.
C. Direct effect noncompliance: Limited; indirect effect noncompliance: none.
D. Direct effect noncompliance: Limited; indirect effect noncompliance: reasonable.
Answer:
Direct effect noncompliance: Reasonable; indirect effect noncompliance: none.
Explanation:
Direct-effect noncompliance is a noncompiance that has a direct and material effects on financial statement amounts. Examples of direct-effect noncompliance include the violations of tax laws.
Indirect-effect noncompliance is a violation of laws that do not have direct relationships with the financial statements. Example of indirect-effect noncompliance include violations that have to do with environmental protection, occupational health and safety, etc.
Reasonable assurance can be described as a high level of assurance that is not an absolute one but it is however related to material misstatements.
Therefore, an assurance that Jones provide that direct effect noncompliance that is material to XYZ’s financial statements and noncompliance that has a material but indirect effect on the financial statements will be detected is direct effect noncompliance: Reasonable; indirect effect noncompliance: none.

a. How much is the 754 adjustment?
b. What is the amount of Adele's basis in the acquired interest?
c. Which partner receives deductions related to the step-up?
Answer: a. $5000 b. $35000 c. Adele
Explanation:
The balance sheet is a report which summarizes all of an entity's assets, the liabilities, and the equity at a given point in time.
Based on the balance sheet in the question, the following can be calculated:
a. The 754 adjustment will be the difference in the sale of interest and Susan's capital balance. This will be:
= Sale of interest - Dusan's capital balance
= $35,000 - $30,000
= $5000
b. Adele's basis in the acquired interest will be the value at which she acquired the interest. This will be = $35,000
c. Adele is the partner who receives deductions related to the step-up
g For a period during which the quantity of inventory at the end was smaller than that at the beginning, income from operations reported under variable costing will be smaller than income from operations reported under absorption costing. Group of answer choices False True
Answer: True
Explanation:
Variable costing is a method which is used to assign the variable costs to the inventory. In this approach, all the overhead costs will be charged to expense during the period that they were incurred, while the direct materials and the variable overhead costs will be assigned to the inventory.
In this scenario, for a period whereby the quantity of inventory at the end was smaller than the quantity of inventory at the beginning, the income from operations that is reported under the variable costing will be smaller than the income from the operations that is reported under absorption costing. This is because the beginning inventory inventory has been released at a rate that is higher at than the ending inventory thereby making the income under the absorption costing to be smaller.

You want to buy a house and will need to borrow $255,000. The interest rate on your loan is 5.89 percent compounded monthly and the loan is for 25 years. What are your monthly mortgage payments
Answer: $1,626
Explanation:
A Mortgage payment is a type of annuity so the Present Value of an Annuity formula can be used to calculate this.
The Period is 12 months so adjustments need to be made to the interest rate and the period.
Period.
= 25 years * 12 months
= 300
Interest Rate
= 5.89/12
= 0.4908%
Present Value of the Annuity is the mortgage amount of $255,000
Present Value of Annuity is,
P = PMT ( 1 - ( 1 + r)^-n) / r
Where,
P = Present Value
PMT = payment per period
r = Interest rate
n= no. of periods
255,000 = PMT ( 1 - (1+0.4908%)^-³⁰⁰) / 0.4908%
255,000 = 156.8456 PMT
PMT = 255,000/156.8456
= $1,625.80
= $1,626

Which type of investment offers both capital gains and interest income
Answer:
Stocks is the type of investments that offers both capital gains and interest income.
Question:
Compare the capital gains from investing in the three stocks with the interest income on a one-year CD. Which would have been a more profitable investment—the stocks or a one-year CD? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
The one-year CD rate during the past year ranged from 1 percent to 1.3 percent. This rate of return is much lower than the returns on the J C Penney and Apple stocks. Therefore, these two stocks would have been better investment options than a one-year CD. However, the CD would be a better investment than the Ford Motor Company stock, which gave a negative return over the past year.

Break-Even Sales Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $370, the unit variable cost is $300, and the total fixed costs are $1,001,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $410. a. Compute the current break-even sales (units). units b. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant. units
Answer:
a. 14,300 units
b. 9,100 units
Explanation:
a. For computation of current break-even sales (units) first we will find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost
= $370 - $300
= $70
Current break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $1,001,000 ÷ $70
= 14,300 units
b. For computation of anticipated break-even sales (units) first we will find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost
= $410 - $300
= $110
Anticipated break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $1,001,000 ÷ $110
= 9,100 units
So, we have applied the above formula.
According to Keynesian business cycle theory, A. inflation is procyclical and leading. B. the procyclical movement of investment is well explained when shocks to durable goods are themselves a main source of the cycle (so-called "animal spirits"), but not when cycles are caused by fluctuations in the LM curve. C. beneficial aggregate demand shocks, regardless of whether they shift the IS curve or the LM curve, will increase both output and the real interest rate. D. the procyclical behavior of labor productivity occurs due to firms' labor hoarding practices.
Answer: D. the procyclical behavior of labor productivity occurs due to firms' labor hoarding practices.
Explanation:
Keynesian Economists argue that firms practice labor hoarding which is the practice of keeping workers when they should not such as when there is a Recession. They should not keep these workers because demand has slowed so keeping them means that they will not be producing to meet the demand.
The procyclical behavior of labor productivity means that labor productivity goes by the Business Cycle in that it is high when the Economy is booming and low when it is in a Recession.
Productivity is calculated by dividing goods produced by the number of labor producing them.
By refusing to fire workers during a Recession, there will be too many workers producing too few goods which will decrease labor productivity which is why according to Keynesian Economists, the productivity is low in Recessions.
A company reports the following beginning inventory and two purchases for the month of January. On January 26, the company sells 350 units. Ending inventory at January 31 totals 150 units. Units Unit Cost Beginning inventory on January 1 320 $ 3.00 Purchase on January 9 80 3.20 Purchase on January 25 100 3.34 Required: Assume the periodic inventory system is used. Determine the costs assigned to ending inventory when costs are assigned based on the FIFO method.
Answer:
494.00
Explanation:
The computation of the cost assigned to ending inventory using the FIFO method is shown below:
Particulars Units Unit Cost Amount
Purchase on January 9 50 3.20 160.00
Purchase on January 25 100 3.34 334.00
Cost of Ending Inventory 150.00 494.00
Since there are 150 units in the ending inventory so we take 50 units at $3.20 and the rest 100 units at 3.34 so that the cost assigned to the ending inventory could come
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
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.
After successfully completing your corporate finance class, you feel the next challenge ahead is to serve on the board of directors of Schenkel Enterprises. Unfortunately, you will be the only person voting for you. The company has 430,000 shares outstanding, and the stock currently sells for $51, If there are four seats in the current election, how much will it cost you to buy a seat
Answer:
$4,386,051
Explanation:
For computation of cost to buy a seat first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Step 1 :
Number of seats available for election = 4
So, the percentage of stock needed = 1 ÷ (4 + 1)
= 20%
Step 2
Number of Stock needed = (Outstanding shares × Percentage of stock) + 1
= (430,000 × 20%) + 1
= 86,000 + 1
= 86,001
and finally
Total cost required to buy a seat = Number of Stock × Stock Currently Sold
= 86,001 × $51
= $4,386,051
So, we have applied the above formula.

At the current year-end, Simply Company found that its overhead was underapplied by $2,500, and this amount was not considered material. Based on this information, Simply should: Multiple Choice Close the $2,500 to Cost of Goods Sold. Close the $2,500 to Finished Goods Inventory. Do nothing about the $2,500, since it is not material, and it is likely that overhead will be overapplied by the same amount next year. Carry the $2,500 to the income statement as "Other Expense". Carry the $2,500 to the next period.
Answer:
Close the $2,500 to Cost of Goods Sold

g The law of supply states that, other things equal, an increase in a. price causes quantity supplied to increase. b. price causes quantity supplied to decrease. c. quantity supplied causes price to increase. d. quantity supplied causes price to decrease.
Answer:
a. price causes quantity supplied to increase.
Explanation:
The law of supply states that, other things equal, an increase in price causes quantity supplied to increase. An increase in price causes the supply curve to slope upward, thus, giving producers of goods and service providers, an incentive to supply more quantity of their products and vice-versa.
Also, the demand for goods and services has an effect on the quantity of goods and services provided by the producers or suppliers. Hence, an increase in the demand for a product would result in an increase in price, thereby causing the producers to supply more quantity in order to maximize profits.
For instance, an electronic gadget company will manufacture more television sets if the price of those television increases.
