Jeff is the Chief Financial Officer of a large publicly-traded corporation. He knows that his company will have to restate its earnings downward shortly, because of some accounting errors. He also knows that this will cause the stock price, which is now $20 a share, to decrease sharply. Before the public announcement of the restatement, Jeff sells most of his shares to outside investors, who pay the current $20 market price, unaware of the coming restatement. Jeff may be charged with Group of answer choices Conspiracy to commit securities fraud Embezzlement All of these Obstruction of justice Insider trading
Answer: Insider trading
Explanation:
Insider Trading refers to when a person trades on material non-public information. It is frowned upon because it gives an unfair advantage to people who know the internal affairs of a company such that they benefit at the expense of others.
Material non-public information refers to information that the public does not know about but can be reasonably expected to impart stock prices if the public knew.
Jeff knows information that is both material and non-public and acted on it thereby profiting at the expense of those who bought his shares as their stake will reduce and they will make losses when the stock price goes down.
Kuzio Corporation produces and sells a single product. Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling price $ 150 100 % Variable expenses 60 40 % Contribution margin $ 90 60 % The company is currently selling 7,000 units per month. Fixed expenses are $214,000 per month. The marketing manager believes that a $7,500 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 190 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change? rev: 03_09_2018_
Answer:
Effect on income= $9,600 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Unitary contribution margin= $90
The marketing manager believes that a $7,500 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 190 unit increase in monthly sales.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= increase in total contribution margin - increase in fixed costs
Effect on income= 190*90 - 7,500
Effect on income= 17,100 - 7,500
Effect on income= $9,600 increase
Consider the economies of Sporon and Gribinez, both of which produce agricultural products using only land and labor. The following tables show the supply of land, population size, and real GDP for these two economies from 2020 to 2023. Calculate real GDP per capita for the two economies, and complete the last column of the following two tables.

2021 20,000 1,000 $10,000 $
2022 20,000 1,500 $16,500 $
2023 20,000 2,000 $24,000 $
Rapid population growth tends to threaten economic growth in economies with land-to-labor ratios. Which of the following is a correct description of the effect of population growth on economic growth in Gribinez from 2020 to 2023?
a. *Real GDP per capita rose initially but eventually fell as population continued to expand.
b. *Real GDP per capita rose from 2011 to 2014 as population increased.
c. *Real GDP per capita fell in*Real GDP per capita fell from 2011 to 2014 as population increased.
Answer:
Sporon
2020 $15
2021 $14
2022 $12
2023 $10
Gribinez
2020 $9
2021 $10
2022 $11
2023 $12
Real GDP per capita rose from 2020 to 2023 as population increased.
Explanation:
Real Per capita GDP measures the standard of living of the people in a country. The higher the Real Per capita GDP, the higher the standard of living
Real Per capita GDP = Real GDP / population
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
Sporon
2020 : $15,000 / 1000 = $15
2021: $28,000 / 2000 = $14
2022 : $36,000 /3,000 = $12
2023: $40,000/4000 = $10
Gribinez
2020 : $4500 / 500= $9
2021 : $10,000 / 1000 = $10
2022 $16,500 / 1500= $11
2023: $24,000 / 2000 = $12
The real GDP per capita of Gribinez rose from 2011 to 2014 as population increased because the rate of increase of real GDP per capita was higher than the rate of increase in population
Rate of increase of population in 2022 = (1500 / 1000) - 1 = 0.5 = 50%
Rate of increase in Real GDP in 2022 = (16500 / 10,000) - 1 = 0.65 = 65%
Cagney and Lacey enter into a written contract to open "Tried and True," a store specializing in used guns recovered from murder scenes. The written contract is a 2-paragraph handwritten document, and states that each party will receive 50% of any net profits and that each will devote 30 hours a week to the business. Both parties regard the writing as a final expression of their deal. After being in business for a evide while, Cagney sues Lacey for breach because Lacey is only working 20 hours per week during the summer months. Lacy attempts to present on vacation from school. Will Lacey be able to present this evidence at trial?
1. No, under the parole evidence rule that shows just prior to signing the contract, Cagney orally agreed that Lacey could work 20 hours a week when her children were
2. Yes, under the parole evidence rule
3. No, due to unilateral mistake
4. Yes, under the statute of frauds
Answer:
3. No, due to unilateral mistake
Explanation:
Lacey and Cagney both had agreed to wok for 30 hours per week and the agreement is in written format since it is enforceable. Both of them are sharing 50% profits so both will have to share the duties equally. When Lacey makes an excuse and is working for 20 hours per week only Cagney can sues her and she is in a probability to win against her. Lacey should have informed Cagney about the vacation from school scenario before signing the contract.
Cabell Products is a division of a major corporation. Last year the division had total sales of $28,540,000, net operating income of $2,597,140, and average operating assets of $5,708,000. The company's minimum required rate of return is 10%. The division's margin is closest to: Multiple Choice 20.0% 45.5% 9.1% 91.0%
Answer:
9.1%
Explanation:
With regards to the above, margin is computed as;
Margin = (Net operating income ÷ Sales) × 100
Given that:
Net operating income = $2,597,140
Sales = $28,540,000
Margin = ($2,597,140 ÷ $28,540,000) × 100
Margin = 9.1%
The Holmes Company's currently outstanding bonds have a 10% coupon and a 10% yield to maturity. Holmes believes it could issue new bonds at par that would provide a similar yield to maturity. If its marginal tax rate is 25%, what is Holmes' after-tax cost of debt
Answer:
7.5%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what is Holmes' after-tax cost of debt
Using this formula
After-tax cost of debt=YTM (1-Taxes)
Where,
YTM = 10%
Tax Rate = 25%
Let plug in the formula
After-tax cost of debt= 10%(1-25%)
After-tax cost of debt=10%(75%)
After-tax cost of debt=0.075*100
After-tax cost of debt=7.5%
Therefore Holmes' after-tax cost of debt is 7.5%
Direct Materials Variances The following data relate to the direct materials cost for the production of 20,000 automobile tires: Actual: 80,000 lbs. at $2.65 $212,000 Standard: 86,000 lbs. at $2.50 $215,000 a. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance. Enter favorable variances as negative numbers. Enter unfavorable variances as positive numbers. Price variance $fill in the blank 1 Quantity variance fill in the blank 3 Total direct materials cost variance $fill in the blank 5 b. The direct materials price variance should normally be reported to the . The direct materials quantity variance due to a malfunction of equipment that had not been properly operated should be reported to the . The total materials cost variance should be reported to the .
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Direct material price variance
= 80,000 × ($2.65 - $2.5)
= $12,000 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance
= $2.5 × (80,000 - 86,000)
= -$15,000 favorable
ANd, the total direct material cost variance
= $12,000 unfavorable - $15,000 favorable
= -$3,000 favorable
2. The direct material price variance should be reported to the purchasing department while the direct material quantity variance should be reported to the production supervisor and the total material cost variance should be reported to the senior plant management

A NOW account requires a minimum balance of $750 for interest to be earned at an annual rate of 4 percent. An account holder has maintained an average balance of $500 for the first six months and $1,000 for the remaining six months. The account holder writes an average of 60 checks per month and pays $0.02 per check, although it costs the bank $0.05 to clear a check.
Required:
a. What average return does the account holder earn on the account?
b. What is the average return if the bank lowers the minimum balance to $400?
c. What is the average return if the bank pays interest only on the amount in excess of $400? Assume that the minimum required balance is $400.
d. How much should the bank increase its check fee to the account holder to ensure that the average interest it pays on this account is 5 percent? Assume that the minimum required balance is $750.
Answer:
a. Average return = 5.55%
b. Average return = 6.88%
c. Average return = 4.75%
d. Bank increase per check fees = $.0257
Explanation:
a.)
Interest earned on first $500 = $500×0×6 / 12 = $0
Interest earned on next $1000 = $1000×0.04×6 / 12= $20
Now,
Fees earned on checks = ($.05 - $.02)×60×12 = $21.6
So,
Total interest earned = $20 + $21.6 = $41.6
Given,
Average balance maintained = $750
So,
Average return = $41.6 / $750 = 5.55%
b.)
Interest earned on first $500 = $500×0.04×6 / 12 = $10
Interest earned on next $1000 = $1000×0.04×6 / 12 = $20
Now,
Fees earned on checks = ($.05 - $.02)×60×12 = $21.6
So,
Total interest earned = $10 + $20 + $21.6 = $51.6
Given that,
Average balance maintained = $750
So,
Average return = $51.6 / $750 = 6.88%
c.)
Interest earned on first $100 = $100×0.04×6 / 12 = $2
Interest earned on next $600 = $600×0.04×6 / 12 = $12
Now,
Fees earned on checks = ($.05 - $.02)×60×12 = $21.6
So,
Total interest earned = $2 + $12 + $21.6 = $35.6
Given that,
Average balance maintained = $750
So,
Average return = $35.6 / $750 = 4.75%
d.)
Total interest earned = $750×0.05 = $37.5
So,
fees earned on checks = $37.5 - $20 = $17.5
Subsidiary per check = $17.5 / 60×12 = $.0243
So,
Bank increase per check fees = $.05 – $.0243 = $.0257

Problem 11-5 Next week, Super Discount Airlines has a flight from New York to Los Angeles that will be booked to capacity. The airline knows from past history that an average of 40 customers (with a standard deviation of 26) cancel their reservation or do not show for the flight. Revenue from a ticket on the flight is $140. If the flight is overbooked, the airline has a policy of getting the customer on the next available flight and giving the person a free round-trip ticket on a future flight. The cost of this free round-trip ticket averages $270. Super Discount considers the cost of flying the plane from New York to Los Angeles a sunk cost. By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Overbooked by passengers
Answer:
29 Seats
Explanation:
Calculation to determine By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight
First step is to calculate the Critical ratio using this formula
Critical ratio=Cu/Cu +Co
Where,
Cu represent cost of underestimating the demand =$140
Co represent the cost of overestimating the demand =$270
Let plug in the formula
Critical ratio=$140/$140+$270
Critical ratio=$140/$410
Critical ratio=0.34146
Second step is to use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find thez-score that yields a p-value of 0.34146 which gives us -0.40848
Now let determine By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight
Numbers of seats to overbook the flight= 40 + (-0.40848 x 26)
Numbers of seats to overbook the flight=40 - 10.62048=
Numbers of seats to overbook the flight=29.37952
Numbers of seats to overbook the flight=29.4 seats (Approximately)
Numbers of seats to overbook the flight=29 seats (Rounded to the nearest whole number)
Therefore By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight is 29 seats
On January 1, 2010, Desert Company purchased a machine for $820,000. At the time, management estimated the useful life to be 20 years with a salvage value of $80,000 and will use straight-line depreciation. On January 1, 2020, the company reviewed the asset for impairment and determined that its future net cash flows totaled $420,000 and its fair value was $360,000. Desert has decided to continue to use the machine. What is the amount of depreciation expense Desert will record for this machine in 2020 after accounting for any potential impairment?
Answer:
$42,000
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation charges a fixed amount of depreciation for the period the asset is used in the business.
Depreciation Expense = Cost - Salvage Value ÷ Estimated Useful Life
January 1, 2020
Carrying Amount
Cost - Accumulated depreciation = $450,000
Recoverable Amount :
Higher of Fair Value and Future Cash Flows
Recoverable Amount = $420,000
Impairment loss incurs when Carrying Amount > Recoverable Amount
therefore,
Impairment loss = $30,000
December 31 , 2020
Depreciation expense = New Depreciable Amount ÷ Remaining useful life
= $420,000 ÷ 10
= $42,000
Bond prices depend on the market rate of interest, stated rate of interest, and time. Determine whether the following bonds payable will be issued at face value, at a premium, or at a discount:a. The market interest rate is 4%. Denton issues bonds payable with a stated rate of 4%.b. Starkville issued 8% bonds payable when the market interest rate was 8.25%.
Answer:
a. Par value
b. Discount
Explanation:
a. As the market interest rate is 4% and the stated rate is also 4% so that means the bond would be issued at face value because both the rates are same
b. The bond rate is 8% and the market interest rate is 8.25%
so the stated interest rate is lower than the market interest rate, that means the bond would be issued at discount
hence, the same would be considered
Smith Company makes jars of homemade strawberry jam. Each jar is priced at $6.00 per unit. The costs of the ingredients to make each jar are $2.00. The containing jar itself costs $1.00. The company has monthly expenses of $2,000 for rent and insurance, $300 for heat and electricity, and $5,000 in monthly salary expenses. Last month the company sold 3,000 jars. What is the UNIT VARIABLE COST per jar
Answer:
Total variable cost= $1.97
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The cost of the ingredients to make each jar is $2.00.
The containing jar itself costs $1.00.
$300 for heat and electricity
$5,000 in monthly salary expenses.
Generally, the salary expense and electricity are mixed costs (fixed and variable components). In this case, we will treat them as a full variable cost.
Unitary Electricity= 300 / 3,000= $0.1
Unitary direct labor= 5,000 / 3,000= $1.67
Now, the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= 2 + 1 + 0.1 + 1.67
Total variable cost= $1.97

Additionally, as the price level rises, the impact on the domestic interest rate will cause the real value of the dollar torise in foreign exchange markets. The number of domestic products purchased by foreigners (exports) will thereforefall , and the number of foreign products purchased by domestic consumers and firms (imports) willrise . Net exports will thereforefall , causing the quantity of domestic output demanded tofall . This phenomenon is known as theexchange rate effect
Answer:
rise, fall, rise, fall, fall, exchange rate
Explanation:
When there is a change in the level of price it will cause the real value to change as well. This is due to the fact that real value is basically relative price i.e., nominal value adjusted by inflation.
This rise in price effects the demand for exports, which in return falls due to higher goods rates. And the effect is opposite for imports which would now rise. The combination effect of imports and exports results in the change in the net exports which would also fall due to rise in imports and fall in the exports. Overall, this effect is known as the exchange rate effect.

Yes, value exists. Their price is lower and therefore more competition and benefit are higher. Its value is reduced. Further competition among producers leads to higher production and lower prices. Further good product feedback will increase profitability after their use by consumers. Based on buyers' requirements, drugs can also be added. The drawback is that the output and performance depend more on the producer. Initially, the gain can be very low due to lower prices. Because they are typically replicas of premium products, a distinctive identity becomes difficult to have. Besides, customers get less trust and this problem is worse from the outset.

Pratt is ready to graduate and leave College Park. His future employer (Ferndale Corp.) offers the following four compensation packages from which Pratt may choose. Pratt will start working for Ferndale on January 1, year 1. Benefit Description Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 Salary $ 60,000 $ 50,000 $ 45,000 $ 45,000 Health insurance No coverage $ 5,000 $ 5,000 $ 5,000 Restricted stock 0 0 1,000 shares 0 NQO's 0 0 0 100 options Assume that the restricted stock is 1,000 shares that trade at $5 per share on the grant date (January 1, year 1); shares are expected to be worth $10 per share on the vesting date at the end of year 1; and no 83(b) election is made. Assume that the NQOs (100 options) each allows the employee to purchase 10 shares at $5 exercise price. The stock trades at $5 per share on the grant date (January 1, year 1) and is expected to be worth $10 per share on the vesting date at the end of year 1, and the options are exercised and sold at the end of the year. Also assume that Pratt spends on average $3,000 on health-related costs that will be covered by insurance if he had coverage or is an after-tax expense if he isn't covered by insurance (treat this as a cash outflow). Assume that Pratt’s marginal tax rate is 35 percent. (Ignore FICA taxes and time value of money considerations). What is the after-tax value of each compensation package for year 1? If Pratt’s sole consideration is maximizing after-tax value for year 1, which scheme should he select?

Joey realizes that he has charged too much on his credit card and has racked up $5,100 in debt. If he can pay $125 each month and the card charges 18 percent APR (compounded monthly), how long will it take him to pay off the debt
Answer:
It will take Joey 63.59 months to pay off the debt.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value or debt amount = $5,100
P = Monthly payment = $125
r = annual percentage rate (APR) / 12 = 18% / 12 = 0.18 / 12 = 0.015
n = number of months it will take Joey to pay off the debt = ?
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:
5100 = 125 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.015))^n) / 0.015)
5100 / 125 = (1 - (1 / 1.015)^n) / 0.015
40.80 * 0.015 = 1 - 0.985221674876847^n
0.985221674876847^n = 1 - 0.612
0.985221674876847^n = 0.388
loglinearize both sides, we have:
nlog0.985221674876847 = log0.388
n = log0.388 / log0.985221674876847
n = -0.411168274405793 / -0.00646604224923186
n = 63.59
Therefore, it will take Joey 63.59 months to pay off the debt.
Suppose that the reserve requirement for checking deposits is 20 percent and that banks do not hold any excess reserves. If the Fed sells $3 million of government bonds, the economy's reservesdecrease by $ million, and the money supply will by $ million. Now suppose the Fed lowers the reserve requirement to 15 percent, but banks choose to hold another 5 percent of deposits as excess reserves. True or False: The money multiplier will remain unchanged. True False True or False: As a result, the overall change in the money supply will remain unchanged. True False
Answer:
1. decrease, $ 3 million, decrease, $ 15 million
2. TRUE
3. TRUE
Explanation:
1. The reverse requirement is given as r = 0.2
The money multiplier is [tex]$\frac{1}{r}=\frac{1}{0.2}=5$[/tex]
Now when the monetary base is changed by $3 million, then the total money supply will change by [tex]$\frac{3}{0.2}= \$ 15 \ mn$[/tex].
Of the $ 15 mn, the reverse will change by $ 15 mn x 0.2 = $ 3 mn.
If Fed sells the government bond of $ 3 million, then the money supply will reduce and the economy's reverses will decrease by $ 3 million and the money supply will decrease by $ 15 million.
2. TRUE
Now if the bank reduces the reserve ratio but he bank maintains excess reserves, then the money multiplier = [tex]$\frac{1}{(r+e)}=\frac{1}{0.15+0.05}=5$[/tex]
Therefore, the money multiplier will remain same, it will remain unchanged.
3. TRUE.
Since the money multiplier remains constant, the overall change in money supply will not increase. It remains the same.
