Answer:
38 days
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the average daily credit sales
= 3,000,000× 0.9/360
= 2,700,000/360
= 7500
Therefore the average collection period can be calculated as follows
= 285,000/7500
= 38
Hence the average collection period is 38 days
During the previous year, Leveraged Inc. paid $100 million of interest expense, and its average rate of interest for the year was 8%. The company's ROE is 18.4%, and it pays no dividends. Estimate next year's interest expense assuming that interest rates will fall by 34% and the company keeps a constant equity multiplier, Calculate next year's estimated interest expense
Answer:
$67214400
Explanation:
Average rate of interest = 8% = 0.08
Amount paid by leveraged Inc ( previous year ) = $100 million
Growth rate retention = 1 ( since company pays no dividend )
ROE = 18.4% = 0.184
Determine next year's estimated interest expense
Given that Interest rates will fall by 34%
interest expenses = $100,000,000
estimated Interest rate = 0.34
First step : calculate total debt
= interest expense / interest rate
= 100,000,000 / 0.08 = $1,250,000,000
next determine the growth rate
= ROE * growth rate retention = 0.184 * 1 = 0.184
next determine next year's debt
= Total debt * ( 1 + 0.184 )
= 1,250,000,000 * 1.0184 = $1,273,000,000
next determine Interest rate for next year
= interest rate - ( Interest rate * estimated interest rate )
= 0.08 - ( 0.34 * 0.08 ) = 0.0528 = 5.28%
Finally determine next year's estimated interest expense
= 5.28% * $1,273,000,000
= 0.0528 * 1,273,000,000 = $67214400
Which of the following are potential problems with using the minimum wage as a poverty-fighting tool? Choose one or more: A. Lower-income workers will earn more. B. There will be more lower-skilled workers entering the labor force looking for work and more jobs for them. C. There will be a shortage of workers in low-wage jobs. D. Employers might shift to more capital-intensive production because labor is relatively more expensive. E. Fewer low-income workers will be employed.
Answer:
D. Employers might shift to more capital-intensive production because labor is relatively more expensive.
E. Fewer low-income workers will be employed
Explanation:
Minimum wage is the lowest amount by law that an employer can pay to its employees. This can be used as a tool to fight poverty.
However when there is a minimum wage set, the cost of labour will be higher for employers.
There will be a tendency for employers to move to a more capital intensive production in order to reduce the cost of wages.
Also since low income earners are the beneficiaries of minimum wage, employers will tend to hire less of them and more of the higher earning workers.
The job or low income earners can be mechanised.

Scholastic Tours is trying to decide which one of two tours it will introduce. The costs and revenues associated with each alternative are listed below: Eastern Tour Western Tour Projected revenue $ 15,000 $ 18,000 Variable costs 1,000 8,000 Fixed costs 5,000 5,000 Profit $ 9,000 $ 5,000 What are the incremental (differential) costs of the Western Tour
Answer:
$7,000
Explanation:
The computation of the incremental (differential) costs of the Western Tour is shown below:
Total cost for eastern tour
= variable cost + fixed cost
= $1,000 + $5,000
= $6,000
And, the total cost for western tour is
= variable cost + fixed cost
= $8,000 + $5,000
= $13,000
So, the different in the cost is
= $13,000 - $6,000
= $7,000
Betty (25 years old) studied music education in college and graduated a year ago. She currently works as a music teacher at a year-round private middle school. Her gross pay is $39600 a year, or $3300 a month. After taxes, health insurance, and other paycheck deductions, her net pay is $35900 a year. Based on recommended guidelines, how much money should Betty be saving each month
Answer:
Based on recommended guidelines, Betty should be saving at least $598.33 each month.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Gross pay per year = $39,600
Gross pay per month = $3,300 ($39,600/12)
Net pay per year after deductions = $35,900
Total deductions for taxes, health insurance, etc. = $3,700 ($39,600 - $35,900)
Net pay per month after deductions = $2,992 ($35,900/12)
b) Based on the 50-30-20 budgeting method of spending 50% income on essentials, saving 20%, and leaving 30% for discretionary purchases, Betty should be saving at least $598.33 per month ($2,992 * 20%).
Demand is said to be __________ when the quantity demanded is not very responsive to changes in price. Group of answer choices unit elastic independent inelastic elastic
Answer:
Inelastic
Explanation:
Inelastic is the correct answer because elasticity is the magnitude that exhibits the responsiveness of demand for the commodity when there is a change in price. For example, if the price changes by 100% and due to the change in price, the change in quantity is only 10%. Then it can be deduced that the elasticity is inelastic because the percentage is lower than the percentage in price.
The estimated beta for RDG is 0.74. The risk free rate of return is 4 percent and the Equity Risk Premium is 5 percent. What is the required rate of return for RDG using the CAPM
Answer:
7.7%
Explanation:
Given :
Risk free rate of return = 4%
Risk premium = 5%
Estimated beta = 0.7
Using the CAPM relation :
The expected return = Risk free rate + (Risk premium * Estimated Beta)
Expected Return = 4% + (5% * 0.74)
Expected Return = 4% + 3.7%
Expected Return = 7.7%

Agreement and disagreement among economists
Suppose that Hubert, an economist from a university in Arizona, and Kate, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing over saving incentives. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Kate: Most people recognize that the budget deficit has been rising considerably over the last century. We need to find the best course of action to remedy this situation.
Hubert: I believe that a cut In income tax rates would boost economic growth and raise tax revenue enough to reduce budget deficits.
Kate: I actually feel that raising the top Income tax rate would reduce the budget deficit more effectively.
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to_____.
Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
A. Lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials.
B. Tariffs and Import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.
C. Minimum wage laws do more to harm low-skilled workers than help them.
Answer and Explanation:
The disagreement arise between this economist is due to the differences in the scientific judgements as they disagree due to the various scientific judgements. And, despite their differences, the proposition of two economists should be chosen at random as the tariff and import quotas normally decreased the economic welfare as it always result in deadweight loss and in this both economist should be agree for the same
Poole Co. acquired 100% of Mullen Inc. on January 3, 2021. During 2021, Poole sold goods to Mullen for $2,500,000 that cost Poole $1,850,000. Mullen still owned 30% of the goods at the end of the year. Cost of goods sold was $11,200,000 for Poole and $6,600,000 for Mullen. What was consolidated cost of goods sold?
a) $15,105,000.
b) $15,300,000.
c) $15,495,000.
d) $17,800,000.
Answer:
c) $15,495,000.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the consolidated cost of goods sold
First step is to calculate the Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred
Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred =($2,500,000 − $1,850,000)*30%
Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred =$650,000 × (30%)
Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred =$195,000
Now let calculate the Consolidated COGS
Using this formula
Consolidated COGS = Parent's COGS+Subsidiary's COGS -COGS in Intra-Entity Transfer+Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred
Let plug in the formula
Consolidated COGS=$11,200,000+ $6,600,000− $2,500,000+ $195,000
Consolidated COGS= $15,495,000
Therefore the consolidated cost of goods sold is
$15,495,000
Primare Corporation has provided the following data concerning last month’s manufacturing operations.
Purchases of raw materials $30,000

Direct labor $58,100
Manufacturing overhead applied to work in process $87,400
Underapplied overhead $4,190
Inventories Beginning Ending
Raw materials $11,300 $19,200
Work in process $54,700 $69,900
Finished goods $33,600 $43,600
Required:
a. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for the month.
b. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods sold for the month.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
Cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
Cost of goods manufactured= 54,700 + (11,300 + 30,000 - 19,200) + 58,100 + 87,400 - 69,900
Cost of goods manufactured= $152,400
Now, the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 33,600 + 152,400 - 43,600
COGS= $142,400

Mary runs over a deer with her car. The ACV of her vehicle is $7,250. To repair the damages caused in the accident, it will cost $4,375. What will the insurer likely pay Mary for this claim, assuming that her COLLISION deductible is $500, and her OTHER THAN COLLISION deductible is $200
Answer: $4175
Explanation:
The Other Than Collision coverage is the payment to repair a vehicle when the damage caused isn't when one collides with another vehicle.
In this case, since Mary runs over a deer with her car, we'll deduct the other than collision deductible from her cost of the repair and this will be:
= $4375 - $200
= $4175
The insurer will pay Mary $4175

Answer:
$3,739.20 million
Explanation:
Calculating the company's market capitalization
- 65.6 million shares outstanding
- If BrandCo's shares are trading at $57 per share
Company's market capitalization = Shares outstanding * Current price
Company's market capitalization = 65.6 million shares * $57
Company's market capitalization = $3,739.20 million

A rectangle has length xcm and width (x-1)cm. If the perimeter is 14cm,
Find the value of x.
Answer:
x = 4 cm
Explanation:
Given that,
Length of a rectangle = x cm
Width = (x-1) cm
The perimeter of the rectangle = 14 cm
We need to find the value of x.
We know that,
Perimeter = sum of all sides
14 = 2(x+x-1)
7 = 2x-1
8 = 2x
x = 4
So, the value of x is equal to 4 cm.

Debt in this case is represented by Bonds. The yield to maturity of a bond is the cost of debt. Yield to maturity is the interest rate used to determine Present Value of Coupons and Principle amount.
Most bond prices are expressed per $1,000. Therefore we will use this as the Face Value.
Pretax cost of debt calculation :
FV = $1,000
PV = $1,000 x 106 % = - $1,060
PMT = ($1,000 x 7 %) ÷ 2 = $35
N = 15 x 2 = 30
P/YR = 2
I/YR = ??
Using a financial calculator, the yield to maturity of the bond and hence the pretax cost of debt (i/yr) is 6.37 %
You are an adviser to the Indian government. Until now, government policy in India has been to severely limit imports into India, resulting also in a low level of Indian exports. The government is considering a policy shift toward much freer trade. What are the three strongest arguments that you can offer to the Indian government about why the policy shift to freer trade is desirable for India
Answer:
1. The size of the economy as a whole grows as a result of free trade.
2. Consumers benefit from free trade.
3. Free trade can reduce cost of trading:
Explanation:
The three strongest arguments that you can offer to the Indian government about why the policy shift to freer trade is desirable for India are as follows:
1. The size of the economy as a whole grows as a result of free trade: It provides for more efficient production of goods and services. This is because it encourages goods and services to be created in areas with the finest natural resources, infrastructure, or skills and experience. It boosts productivity, which can lead to greater long-term wages. There is universal consensus that growing global trade has boosted economic growth in recent decades.
2. Consumers benefit from free trade: By removing barriers and promoting competition, it lowers prices. Quality and choice are likely to improve as a result of increased competition.
3. Free trade can reduce cost of trading: Non-tariff barriers can be reduced, resulting in less red tape and lower trading costs. Companies that deal in multiple nations might reduce their compliance expenses by working with a single set of laws. In principle, this will lower the cost of goods and services.
Last year Christine worked as a consultant. She hired an administrative assistant for $15,000 per year and rented office space (utilities included) for $3,000 per month. Her total revenue for the year was $100,000. If Christine hadn't worked as a consultant, she would have worked at a real estate firm earning $40,000 a year. Last year, Christine's explicit costs were ______, and her implicit costs were ______.
Answer:
Explicit costs - $51,000
Explicit costs are those for which a person incurs in actual spending of money. In this case, Christine had to pay $15,000 in wages, and $36,000 in rent ($3,000 x 12). These are expenses that she had to pay money for, and that had to be accounted for in the accounting books, and in the financial statements. These are in other words, explicit costs.
Implicit costs - $40,000
Implicit costs are simply the opportunity costs. An opportunity cost is the cost of the next more valuable alternative when faced with two or more options. No money is paid for this costs. The implicit costs for Christine were the $40,000 that she not receive as wages if she had continued working at a real state firm.
