Black Oil Company considered building a service station in a new location. The owners and their accountants decided that this was the profitable thing to do. However, soon after they made this decision, both the interest rate and the cost of building the station changed. In which case do these changes both make it less likely that they will now build the station?
Answer: An increase in the Interest rates and the cost of building the station
Explanation:
Before setting out to do business, most companies and investors calculate the cost of setting up the business and what they stand to gain when the business does well and when it doesn't. Most of these analysis are done when the business is being put into consideration. When there is a change in cost of any of the items put into consideration, the business would either be carried out or cancelled. What could discourage the Black oil company would be either an increase in interest rates or cost of building the station.
When the price level falls, the number of dollars needed to buy a representative basket of goods Group of answer choices decreases, so the value of money rises. increases, so the value of money rises. increases, so the value of money falls. decreases, so the value of money falls.
Answer:
decreases, so the value of money rises
Explanation:
Let us assume the starting price level is $100 so here the amount that need to pay is $100 now the price level falls to $50 so again the amount that should be paid is $50 so as we can see that if there is any fall in the price level so the number of dollar would be decreased therefore the value of the money would be increased
When the price level is 50 so the consumer purchased two things
Hence, the first option is correct
The Argentine peso was fixed through a currency board at Ps1.00/$ throughout the 1990s. In January 2002 the Argentine peso was floated. On January 29, 2003 it was trading at Ps3.20/$. During that one year period Argentina's inflation rate was 20% on an annualized basis. Inflation in the United States during that same period was 2.2% annualized.
Required:
a. What should have been the exchange rate in January 2003 if PPP held?
b. By what percentage was the Argentine peso undervalued on an annualized basis?
c. What were the probable causes of undervaluation?
Answer:
1. 1.17416 peso/$
2. -63.30%
Explanation:
1. The exchange rate in January if PPP is held
1.00 = exchange rate
20 % = inflation in Argentina
0.22% = us inflation
1.00(1+0.20)/(1+0.022)
= 1.00x1.20/1.022
= 1.17416 pesos/$
B. Percentage by which pesos was devalued
(PPP/actual exchange rate)-1
= 1.17416/3.20 -1
= 0.366925-1
= -0.6330
= -63.30%
C. At 20 % we can see that inflation is really high in Argentina which is probably the reason for the undervaluation. But the truth is inflation alone cannot be held responsible. Severe crisis in Argentinas balance of payment is partly responsible

Gartner Manufacturing Inc. purchases a component from a Malaysian supplier. The demand for that component is exactly 70 units each day. The company is open for business 250 days each year. When the company reorders the product, the lead time from the supplier is exactly 10 days. The product costs $14.00. The company determined that its inventory carrying cost is 20%. The company's order cost is $30.00. How many orders per year will be made, when using the EOQ
Answer:
Number of orders= 28.59 = 29 orders
Explanation:
Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the ideal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize inventory costs such as holding costs, shortage costs, and order costs.
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
D= 70*250= 17,500
S= $30
H= 14*0.2= $2.8
Now, using the formula:
EOQ= √[(2*17,500*30) / 2.8]
EOQ= √375,000
EOQ= 612.37 = 612
Finally, the number of orders:
Number of orders= total demand / EOQ
Number of orders= 17,500 / 612
Number of orders= 28.59 = 29 orders

Your retirement fund consists of a $7,500 investment in each of 20 different common stocks. The portfolio's beta is 0.65. Suppose you sell one of the stocks with a beta of 1.0 for $7,500 and use the proceeds to buy another stock whose beta is 2.25. Calculate your portfolio's new beta. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
0.7125
Explanation:
Calculation to determine your portfolio's new beta.
First step is to calculate the Increase in beta as a result of net sales
Increase in beta as a result of net sales=2.25-1
Increase in beta as a result of net sales=1.25
Hence:
increase/stock=1.25/20=0.0625
Now let calculate the new beta
New beta=0.65+0.0625
New beta=0.7125
Therefore your portfolio's new beta will be 0.7125
Albert purchased a tract of land for $140,000 in 2017 when he heard that a new highway was going to be constructed through the property and that the land would soon be worth $200,000. Highway engineers surveyed the property and indicated that he would probably get $180,000. The highway project was abandoned in 2020 and the value of the land fell to $100,000. What is the amount of loss Albert can claim in 2020
Answer:
The amount of loss that Albert can claim in 2020 is limited to:
= $3,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
2017 Purchase cost of the tract of land = $140,000
Speculated price of the land = $200,000
Highway engineers-determined value = $180,000
2020 Value of the land after the project was abandoned = $100,000
The total amount of capital loss = $40,000 ($140,000 - $100,000)
The total amount of capital loss that Albert can claim in any tax year is limited to $3,000. The remaining amount of the capitalloss that he incurred in 2020 will be carried forward.
For the U.S. soft drink market, of the 300 million people in the U.S., 80% of the population is the maximum number of consuming units. The average soft drink consumer buys 365 soft drinks a year at an average price of $0.98 per drink. What is the annual market potential of soft drink in dollar value
Answer:
Annual market potential = $85,848 millions
Explanation:
The annual market potential is the expected sales value for the soft drink product for a year should the maximum number of potential consumers purchase the product at the average price.
Annual market potential = Average price × No of consuming unit × consumption rate per annum
Maximum number of consuming unit = 80%× 300 million =240 million
Consumption rate per buyer per annum = 365
Average price = $0.98
Annual market potential ($) = 0.98× 240× 365 =$85,848 millions
Annual market potential = $85,848 millions

b. What raw materials cost would be included in the company's flexible budget for March?
c. What is the materials price variance for March?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials: 5 pounds at $8.00 per pound $40.00
The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 25,000 units.
a)
The material cost included in the planning budget is the standard cost multiplied for the budgeted production.
Direct material requiered= 25,000*5= 100,000 pounds
Standard cost per pound= $5
Direct material budget= 100,000*5= $500,000
b)
The raw material's flexible budget adapts to the actual production level.
Direct material flexible budget= standard cost*actual material used in production
Direct material flexible budget= 5*160,000
Direct material flexible budget= $800,000
c)
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (5 - 7.5)*160,000
Direct material price variance= $400,000 unfavorable

A manufacturing company applies factory overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that factory overhead costs would be $341,900 and direct labor hours would be 48,900. Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred were $307,800, and actual direct labor hours were 52,800. What is the predetermined overhead rate per direct labor hour
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the predetermined overhead rate is computed below.
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated factory overhead cost / Estimated direct labor hours
Given that;
Estimated factory overhead cost = $341,900
Estimated direct labor hours = 48,900
Therefore,
Predetermined overhead rate per direct labor hour
= $341,000 / 48,900
= $6.97 per direct labor hour

As of year end, Beta had resold only 60 percent of these intra-entity purchases. Alpha sells inventory to Beta at the same markup it uses for all of its customers. What is the total for consolidated inventory
Answer:
$173,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total consolidated inventory is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
Percentage profits that Alpha charge to other customers is
= ($800,000 - $600,000) ÷ $800,000
= 25% of sales
Stock held at year end is
= $100,000 × 40%
= $40,000
Profit involved in stock is
= $40,000 × 25%
= $10,000
Now the stock of beta is
= $88,000 - $10,000
= $78,000
And finally, the Total for consolidated inventory is
= $95,000 + $78,000
= $173,000

Bank of the Atlantic has liabilities of $4 million with an average maturity of two years paying interest rates of 4.0 percent annually. It has assets of $5 million with an average maturity of 5 years earning interest rates of 6.0 percent annually. What is the bank's net interest income for the current year
Answer:
the bank net interest income for the current year is $140,000
Explanation:
The computation of the bank net interest income for the current year is shown below:
= (Interest earning assets × Interest rate earned)-(Interest bearing liabilities × Interest rate rate)
= $5,000,000 × 6% - $4,000,000 × 4%
=$300,000 - $160,000
= $140,000
Hence, the bank net interest income for the current year is $140,000
Excess reserves A. are loans made at above market interest rates. B. are the deposits that banks do not use to make loans. C. are reserves banks keep to meet the reserve requirement. D. are reserves banks keep above the legal requirement. Suppose the required reserve ratio is % and a bank has the following balance sheet: Assets Liabilities Reserves $ Deposits $ Loans $ This bank keeps required reserves of $ nothing and excess reserves of $ nothing. (Enter your responses as integers.)
Answer and Explanation:
The excess reserves are the reserves banks that maintain more the legal requirement. It shows the difference between the required reserve and the actual reserve
Hence, the last option is correct
Now the required reserve is
= ($11,000 × 11%)
= $1,210
And, the excess reserve is
= $2,200 - $1,210
= $990
Hence, the same would be relevant

Explanation:
A portfolio is composed of two stocks, A and B. Stock A has a standard deviation of return of 23%, while stock B has a standard deviation of return of 29%. Stock A comprises 70% of the portfolio, while stock B comprises 30% of the portfolio. If the variance of return on the portfolio is 0.042, the correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is _________. Multiple Choice 0.088 0.304 0.213 0.091
Answer:
0.304
Explanation:
The calculation has been done step by step in order to understand the final result. Note that (p) in the below working refers to the correlation coefficient between Stock A and B.
0.042 = (0.70^2)(0.23^2) + (0.30^2)(0.29^2) + 2(0.70)(0.30)(0.23)(0.29)p
0.042 = 0.0259 + 0.0076 + 0.028p
0.042 = 0.0335 + 0.028p
0.042 - 0.0335 = 0.028p
0.0085 = 0.028p
p = 0.0085 / 0.028
p = 0.304
