Answer:
1. With Bilateral Clearing, where the company posts variation margin, but no initial margin:
The company has to provide collateral to Banks A, B, and C of $0 million, $15 million, and $25 million respectively.
Therefore, the total collateral required is $40 million.
2. With Central Clearing through the CCP, where the CCP usually requires an initial margin of $10 million:
The derivatives are netted against each other, and the company’s total variation margin is $20 million (–$20 + $15 + $25) in total.
The total margin required (including the initial margin) is, therefore, $30 million ($20 + $10 million).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Worth of derivative with Bank A = +$20 million
Worth of derivative with Bank B = -$15 million
Worth of derivative with Bank C = -$25 million
b) In a bilateral clearing, the company and each bank (called market participants) enter into an agreement with each other to cover all outstanding derivative transactions between the two parties. On the other hand, in central clearing, a central clearing party (CCP) stands between the two sides of an OTC derivative transaction in much the same way that the exchange clearing house does for exchange-traded contracts.
Murphy Company, a cash-basis, calendar-year taxpayer, received a call on December 28, year 1, from a client stating that a check for $9,000 as payment in full for their services can be picked up at their offices, two blocks away, any weekday between 1:00 and 6:00 P.M. Murphy does not pick up the check until January 3, year 2. In which year does Murphy recognize the income?
Answer:
Murphy Company
The year in which Murphy recognizes the income is year 2.
Explanation:
As a cash basis taxpayer, Murphy Company reports income and deductions in the year that they are actually paid or received. Similarly, as a cash basis taxpayer, Murphy Company deducts expenses in the year the expenses are paid off, which is not necessarily the year they were incurred. The income for services of $9,000 rendered to a customer, for which payment was received on January 3, year 2, will be recognized in year 2 and not in year 1 when the services were performed.
Assume that the company uses departmental predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the allocation base in both production departments. Further assume that the company uses a markup of 50% on manufacturing cost to establish selling prices. The calculated selling price for Job M is closest to:
Answer:
Selling Price for Job M = $49,005
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. But I have found similar question on the internet and will be using its data to solve this question for the sake of understanding and concept.
Data Missing:
Estimated Total Machine Hours for Molding = 9000
Estimated Total Machine Hours for Customizing = 3600
Total = 9000 + 3600 = 12,600
Estimated Total Fixed manufacturing overhead cost for Molding = 36000
Estimated Total Fixed manufacturing overhead cost for Customizing = 13,320
Total = 36000 + 13320 = 49320
Estimated variable Manufacturing overhead cost per MH for Molding = 2.50
Estimated variable Manufacturing overhead cost per MH for Customization = 3.00
Data For JOB M:
Direct materials = $9,900
Direct labor Cost = $10,300
Molding Machine-hours = 1300
Customizing Machine Hours = 600
Required:
We are asked to calculate the selling price for Job M:
Solution:
Direct materials = $9,900
Direct labor Cost = $10,300
Variable manufacturing overhead For Molding:
(Estimated variable Manufacturing overhead cost per MH for Molding 2.50 x Molding Machine-hours = 1300)
Molding = 2.50 x 1300
Molding = 3,250
Similarly,
Variable manufacturing overhead For Customizing:
(Estimated variable Manufacturing overhead cost per MH for Customization = 3.00 x Customizing Machine Hours = 600)
Customizing = 3.00 x 600
Customizing = 1800
Now, we need to find Fixed manufacturing overhead for both molding and customizing:
For Molding:
First we need to find the cost per machine hour for molding:
Molding Cost per machine hour = (Estimated Total Fixed manufacturing overhead cost for Molding = 36000 / Estimated Total Machine Hours for Molding = 9000)'
Molding Cost per machine hour = 36000/9000
Molding Cost per machine hour = $4 per machine hour
So,
Fixed manufacturing overhead for Molding:
Molding = Molding Cost per machine hour x Molding Machine-hours = 1300
Molding = 4 x 1300
Molding = 5200
Similarly,
For Customizing:
Customizing Cost per machine hour = 13320/3600
Customizing Cost per machine hour = $3.70 per machine hour
Fixed manufacturing overhead for Customizing:
Customizing = Customizing Cost per machine hour x Customizing Machine Hours
Customizing = $3.70 x 600
Customizing = 2220
Now, we need to find the total cost for Job M:
Total Cost = Direct materials + Direct labor Cost + Variable manufacturing overhead For Molding + Variable manufacturing overhead For Customizing + Fixed manufacturing overhead for Molding + Fixed manufacturing overhead for Customizing
Total Cost = $9,900 + $10,300 + 3,250 + 1800 + 5200 + 2220
Total Cost = $32,670
Now, we need to find the Selling price for Job M, for which we need to add the markup into the total cost.
Markup percentage = 50%
So,
Markup = Markup% x Total Cost
Markup = 0.50 x 32,670
Markup = $16,335
Selling Price = Markup + Total Cost
Selling Price for Job M = $16,335 + $32,670
Hence,
Selling Price for Job M = $49,005

Your friend remarks that longer movies are a better deal than shorter movies because the ticket price is the same in both cases. Therefore, the longer movie provides more benefit for the same cost as a shorter movie. Which of the following is the best argument against your friend's claim that longer movies provide more benefit than shorter movies?
Based on the:
a. opportunity cost principle, the length of the movie does not matter as long as watching a movie is the best way to spend your time compared to other alternatives.
b. cost-benefit principle, the benefits of a longer movie exceed the costs when compared to a shorter movie.
c. marginal principle, you should only continue to watch an additional movie if it is shorter than the first movie.
d. interdependence principle, longer movies are affected by the market for shorter movies.
Answer:
a. opportunity cost principle, the length of the movie does not matter as long as watching a movie is the best way to spend your time compared to other alternatives.
Explanation:
In the given case since it is mentioned that longer movies would be more better as compared with the shorter movies also the price for the both would be the same so here the opportunity cost principle is applied i.e. the movie length is not relevant here as it is considered to spend your time by watching a movie
So the first option is correct

The current margin position is 48.84%.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Margin loan = Number of shares purchased * Cost per share * (1 - Initial margin requirement) = 1,300 * $54.10 * (1 - 60%) = $28,132
Current value of stock = Number of shares purchased * Current price per share = 1,300 * $42.30 = $54,990
Current equity = Current value of stock - Margin loan = $54,990 - $28,132 = $26,858
Current margin position = Current equity / Current value of stock = $26,858 / $54,990 = 0.488416075650118, or 48.8416075650118%
Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
Current margin position = 48.84%
Therefore, the current margin position is 48.84%.
A small business owner visits his bank to ask for a loan. The owner states that he can repay a loan at $2,000 per month for the next three years and then $1,000 per month for two years after that. If the bank is charging customers 9.75 percent APR, how much would it be willing to lend the business owner
Answer:
$78,443.29
Explanation:
we need to use the present value of an annuity formula:
the formula used to determine the present value factor of an annuity is:
present value annuity factor = [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ ] / i
we must divide this into 2 parts:
the first part will deal with the $2,000 monthly payment
the second part deals with the $1,000 monthly payment
i = 9.75% / 12 = 0.8125%
n (first part) = 36
n (second part) = 24
the PV annuity factor for first part = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.8125%)³⁶ ] / 0.8125% = 31.1043
the PV annuity factor for first part = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.8125%)²⁴ ] / 0.8125% = 21.7251
loan = ($2,000 x 31.1043) + ($1,000 x 21.7251)//(1 + 0.8125%)³⁶ = $62,208.60 + $16,234.69 = $78,443.29
= [1 - 1/(1 + 0.0069942)240 ] / 0.0069942 = 116.135183

Housing 994 1,046 -52 Deficit
Total $2,237 $2,213 $24 Surplus
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Budget Actual Variance Status
Food $ 364 $331 $33 Surplus
Clothing 164 161 3 Surplus
Transportation 408 416 -8 Deficit
Personal expenses and recreation 307 259 48 Surplus
Housing 994 1,046 -52 Deficit
Total $2,237 $2,213 $24 Surplus
b) The difference between the estimated budget cost and the actual cost spent on each item gives rise to either surplus or deficit. This surplus or deficit is described as the variance. It is surplus when the budgeted cost is greater than the actual cost spent. It is deficit when the budgeted cost is less than the actual cost spent.

Which of the following statements best reflects a price-taking firm? a The firm has an incentive to charge less than the market price to earn higher revenue b If the firm were to charge more than the going price, it would sell none of its goods c The firm can sell only a limited amount of output at the market price befo
Answer:
b
Explanation:
A price taking firm is a firm that must sell at the price determined by the forces of demand and supply. This is typical of firms that in industries that sell identical products.
If the firm charges a price higher than equilibrium price, customers would go to other suppliers and the firm would sell known of its product.
There would be no incentive for a firm to sell below equilibrium price because it would be earning losses.
An example of an industry characterised by price taking firms are perfectly competitive industries.
For example, a farmer selling oranges is an example of a price taking firm
The following units of an inventory item were available for sale during the year. Use this information to answer the following questions.
Beginning inventory 10 units at $55
First purchase 25 units at $60
Second purchase 30 units at $65
Third purchase 15 units at $70
The firm uses the periodic inventory system. During the year, 60 units of the item were sold.
The value of ending inventory using FIFO is:________
a. $1,350
b. $1,150
c. $1,375
d. $1,250
Answer:
The value of ending inventory using FIFO is $1,375
Explanation:
Under FIFO the items of inventory purchases earlier will be sold first and the items purchased later will be sold at last.
First, we need to calculate the total available inventory units
Numbers of units available to sale = Beginning Inventory + First purchase + Second purchase + Third purchase = 10 units + 25 units + 30 units + 15 units = 80 units
Now 60 units out of 80 are sold the remaining 20 units ( 80 units - 60 units ) will be in the ending inventory.
As per FIFO 20 units will be values as per the last 20 units purchases which will be as follow
Ending Invetory = ( 15 units x $70 ) + ( (20-15) units x $65 ) = $1,375
Suppose that Harry drinks one cup of coffee with his preferred three packs of creamer every day for seven days. What is his utility for that week
Answer:
21
Explanation:
The computation of the utility for that week is as follows:
Given that
There are three packs
Also it is for seven days
u(x,y) = min(3x,y)
C = 1
x = 1
y = 3
So,
u = min(3,3)
= 3
For 7 days it would be
= 7 × 3
= 21
Hence, the utility for that week is 21
The cash account shows a balance of $85,000 before reconciliation. The bank statement does not include a deposit of $4,600 made on the last day of the month. The bank statement shows a collection by the bank of $1,880 and a customer's check for $640 was returned because it was NSF. A customer's check for $900 was recorded on the books as $1,080, and a check written for $158 was recorded as $194. The correct balance in the cash account was
Answer:
$86,024
Explanation:
The computation of the corrected balance in the cash account is as follows:
Unadjusted cash balance $85,000

• Who will produce it?
• For whom will it be produced?
In which type of economy are these decisions made solely by the
government?
A. Mixed
B. Free
C. Command
D. Traditional
Answer:
C. Command
Explanation:
In a command economy, the government owns and controls all the factors of production. All the factors of production are owned and controlled by the government. The government does all the productions through its agencies.
The government prepares central economic plans that guide the country's economic activities. The central plans indicate what goods and services will be produced, their quantities, and prices. The plans also dictate how distributions will be done in the country.
