If any portion of a long-term debt is to be paid in the next year, the entire debt should be classified as a current liability. A. True B. False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
The portion of a long term liability that is due within one year is called current portion of long-term debt (CPLTD). The name basically explains everything. E.g. you owe a note receivable worth $100,000 and every year you must pay an installment of $10,000 plus interest. The CPLTD (current liability) = $10,000, and the long term debt = $90,000.
The debt-to-equity ratios for Firm 1, Firm 2, Firm 3, and Firm 4 are 0.2, 0.3, 0.35, and 0.4, respectively. The earnings per share for Firm 1, Firm 2, Firm 3, and Firm 4 are $4, $3, $2.5, and $2, respectively. Everything else equal, which firm is placing more burdens on its borrowing?A. Firm 1.B. Firm 2.C. Firm 3.D. Firm 4.
Answer:
D. Firm 4.
Explanation:
To determine this, the debt-to-equity ratio is the relevant measure to use.
The debt-to-equity ratio can be described as a ratio that compares the total debt of company to its total equity.
The debt-to-equity ratio tells us the percentage of the financing of the firm that is obtained from borrowing from creditors and investors.
The debt-to-equity ratio is a ratio that gives an idea of the extent of burden that the company places on its borrowing and the ability of the company to repay its debt in future.
When a company has the highest debt-to-equity ratio compared to other companies, it implies that more financing of the company comes from creditors and bank loans than from the shareholders of the company.
From the question, Firm 4 has the highest debt-to-equity ratio which 0.4. Based on the explanation above, it therefore implies that Firm 4 is placing more burdens on its borrowing.

The Fremont Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company recorded 43,500 equivalent units for conversion costs for November in a particular department. There were 7,400 units in the ending work-in-process inventory on November 30, 80% complete with respect to conversion costs. The November 1 work-in-process inventory consisted of 9,400 units, 50% complete with respect to conversion costs. A total of 39,000 units were completed and transferred out of the department during the month. The number of units started during November in the department was:________
Answer:
37,000 units
Explanation:
Calculation for the number of units started during November in the department
Using this formula
Number of Units started = Units completed and transferred out + Units in ending work-in-process − Units in beginning work-in-process
Let plug in the formula
Number of Units started= 39,000 units+7,400 units − 9,400 units
Number of Units started= 37,000 units
Therefore number of units started during November in the department was 37,000 units
On May 1, 2017, Crane Company purchased the copyright to Blue Spruce Corp. for $112800. It is estimated that the copyright will have a useful life of 4 years. The amount of amortization expense recognized for the year 2017 would be:_______. a) $28200 b) $15040 c) $18800. d) $14100.
Answer:
$18,800
Explanation:
The amortization expense can be calculated by dividing the cost of copyright to purchase by the estimated useful life and then multiplied by the number of months covered until May 1, 2017.
Amortization expense = Cost to purchase / Estimated useful life) x 8/12 Amortization expense = ($112,800 / 4 years) * 8/12
Amortization expense = $18,800
As the copyright is purchased on may 1 it will cover 8 months till 31 december 2017
Suppose you invest $1,600 for six years at an annual percentage rate of 9 percent. a. What is the future value if interest is compounded annually? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the future value if interest is compounded semiannually? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What is the future value if interest is compounded monthly? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) d. What is the future value if interest is compounded continuously? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. Principal amount = $1,600
rate of interest = 9% compounded annually
Period = 6 years
Future value = P (1+r)^t
= $1,400 (1+0.09)^6
= $1,600 * 1.6771
= $2683.36
b. Principal amount = $1,600
rate of interest = 9% compounded semi annually, semi annual rate of interest = 9*6/12 = 4.5%
Time = 6 years, semiannual period = 6*2 =12
Future value = P (1+r)^t = $1,400 (1+0.045)^12
= $1,600 * 1.6959
= $2713.44
c. Principal amount = $1,600
Rate of interest = 9% compounded monthly, monthly rate of interest = 9/12 = 0.75%
Time = 6 years, monthly period = 6*12 =72
Future value = P (1+r)^t
= $1,600 (1+0.0075)^72
= $1,600 * 1.7125
= $2740
d. Principal amount = $1,400
Rate of interest = 9% compounded continuously
Period = 6 years
Future value = P * e^rt
= $1,600 (2.71828)^(0.09*6)
= $1,600 * 1.7160
= $2745.60

In the country of Marzipana, total consumption in Year 1 was $56,000 million and in Year 2 was $60,000 million. It has been observed that each time disposable income changes in this country by $100, consumption changes by $70. Using this information compute the change in disposable income from Year 1 to Year 2.
A. Disposable income increased by $2,800 million in Year 2.
B. Disposable income decreased by $2,000 million in Year 2.
C. Disposable income increased by $2,000 million in Year 2.
D. Disposable income increased by $4,500 million in Year 2.
E. Disposable income decreased by $2,600 million in Year 2.
Answer: A. Disposable income increased by $2,800 million in Year 2.
Explanation:
Disposable income is gotten when the personal current taxes has been deducted from the total personal income of an individual.
Total consumption in year 1 = $56,000 million
Total consumption in year 2 = $60,000 million.
The above shows that there was an increase in total consumption of:
= $60,000 million - $56,000 million
= $4,000 million
From the question, we can also deduce that there's a 0.7 (70/100) change in consumption as a result of a $1 change in disposable income.
Therefore, the increase in the disposable income in year 2 will be:
= $4,000 million × 0.7
= $2,800 million
Therefore, the correct option is A.
You decide to invest $20,500 in Bank of America and $14,500 in Twitter. What is the portfolioâs beta? Bank of America beta: 1.27 Twitter beta: 1.96
Answer:
Portfolio Beta = 1.555857143 rounded off to 1.56
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is the function of the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the beta of a portfolio containing two stock is as follows,
Portfolio Beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B
Where,
w is the weight of each stock
As the investment in Stock of Bank of America is 20500 and the investment in stock of Twitter is 14500, the total investment in the portfolio will be,
Total investment = 20500 + 14500 = 35000
Portfolio Beta = 20500 / 35000 * 1.27 + 14500 / 35000 * 1.96
Portfolio Beta = 1.555857143 rounded off to 1.56
Suppose that you buy a 1-year maturity bond with a coupon of 7.2% paid annually. If you buy the bond at its face value, what real rate of return will you earn if the inflation rate is 2%? 4%? 8.30%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer:
Explanation:
The Real rate of return would be calculated as:
= (1 + Coupon rate)/(1 + Inflation rate) - 1
a. When inflation rate = 2%
Coupon rate = 7.2%
= (1+7.2%) / (1+2%) -1
= (1 + 0.072) / (1 + 0.02) - 1
= 5.10%
b. When inflation rate = 4%
= (1+7.2%) / (1+4%) -1
= (1 + 0.072) / (1 + 0.04) - 1
= 3.08%
3) When inflation rate = 8.30%
= (1+7.2%) / (1+8.3%) -1
= (1 + 0.072) / (1 + 0.083) - 1
= -1.02%
Entity A supplies planed timber, paint, varnish, springs, upholstery, and cushioning to EntityB, which produces a ready to use furniture. Entity C is the marketing department of Entity B. In this context, ______.a. A is an upstream supply chain member, while C is the downstream chain memberb. C is an upstream supply chain member, while A is the downstream chain memberc. B is an upstream supply chain member, while A is the downstream chain memberd. C is an upstream supply chain member, while B is the downstream chain member
Answer:
a. A is an upstream supply chain member, while C is the downstream chain member
Explanation:
Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers. Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services to the consumers.
The key principle of supply chain management can be best summed up as collaboration between multiple firms. These multiple firms include a company that is saddled with the responsibility of manufacturing, a wholesaler, and a retailer who typically sells the products to the customers or consumers.
Basically, these three (3) firms or individuals are required to collaborate with each other so as to meet the needs of the customers in a timely manner or fashion and at a fair price too.
Entity A supplies planed timber, paint, varnish, springs, upholstery, and cushioning to Entity B, which produces a ready to use furniture. Entity C is the marketing department of Entity B.
In this context, Entity A is an upstream supply chain member, while Entity C is the downstream chain member.
The upstream supply chain member are the suppliers of raw materials to another organization for its production line while the downstream chain member are the intermediary between the manufacturer and the consumer.
Under certain conditions, the Coase theorem asserts that the property right to an activity will be acquired by the party that values it most. What are the two implications of the Coase theorem that are listed in the chapter? (Check only two.) A. Legal constraints will not affect the outcome. B. The outcome will result in the rights to an activity going to the party that deserves them the most C. The outcome will result in the largest possible economic pie for society to enjoy. D. Bargaining will be efficient since transactions costs are eliminated.
Answer:
The correct answers are the options:
B) The outcome will result in the rights to an activity going to the party that deserves them the most
D) Bargaining will be efficient since transactions costs are eliminated.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept that is name as "Coase Theorem" is famously known in the microeconomics theory as the statement that describes the economic efficiency of an outcome that involves externalities. Moreover, it indicates that if a trade between two private parties is possible and the transactions costs are low, then it all will end up in a Pareto efficiency situation in where the party that it deserves the most will be benefit himself from that. However the theorem is just that, a theorem, it is very difficult to be applicable for the real life economics due to the fact that in real life the transactions costs are rarely low enough.
Blue Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,307,500 and retained earnings of $5,383,000 at December 31, 2020. Blue later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $118,630 and $36,930, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold would be:
= $1307500 + $36930 - $118630
= $1225800
The corrected Retained earnings would be:
= $5,383,000 - $36,930
= $5,346,070

What is the beta of a portfolio comprised of the following securities? Stock Amount Invested Security Beta A $ 4,000 1.44 B $ 5,000 1.55 C $ 7,500 1.00
Answer: 1.27
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is a weighted average of the individual betas of the composite stocks.
Total amount invested = 4,000 + 5,000 + 7,500
= $16,500
Portfolio beta = (4,000/16,500 * 1.44) + (5,000/16,500 * 1.55) + (7,500/16,500 * 1.00)
= 0.3490909 + 0.469697 + 0.45454545
= 1.27333335
= 1.27
g A decline in the quantity of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve is a result of a(n):
Answer:
Increase in the price level.
Explanation:
A decline in the quantity of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve is a result of an increase in the price level.
This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.
According to the law of demand which states that, there exist a negative relationship between the quantity of goods demanded and the price of a good. This simply means that, when the prices of goods and services in the market increases or rises: there would be a significant decline or fall in the demand for this goods and services.

If during the year the portfolio manager sells all of the holdings of stock D and replaces it with 200,000 shares of stock E at $50 per share and 200,000 shares of stock F at $25 per share, what is the portfolio turnover rate?The composition of the Fingroup fund portfolio is as follows:Stock shares PriceA 200,000 $35B 300,000 40C 400,000 20D 600,000 25 The fund has not borrowed any funds but its accrued management fee with the portfolio manager currently totals 30,000. there are 4 million funds outstanding ? What is the net asset value of the fund?
Answer:
$10.49
Explanation:
The computation of the net asset value of the fund is shown below:
= (Market value of the assets - market value of the liabilities) ÷ number of oustanding shares
where,
Market value of assets is
= (200,000 × $35) + (300,000 × $40) + (400,000 × 20) + (600,000 × 25)
= $42,000,000
So, the net asset value of the fund is
= ($42,000,000 - $30,000) ÷ (4,000,000)
= $10.49

Larkspur, Inc. reports net income of $91,800 in 2022. However, ending inventory was understated $7,800. What is the correct net income for 2022?
Answer:
$99,600
Explanation:
If the ending inventory was understated that means that they have less of the inventory than they had originally expected, this means that they sold more than they have calculated and therefore have not included the $7,800 in the net income. Therefore, we would need to add this amount to the actual reported net income to get the correct net income for 2022...
$91,800 + $7,800 = $99,600
The correct net income for 2022 is $99,600

The truth in advertising corresponds to organizational transparency in promoting products and services consistent with what they offer in terms of price, quality, benefits, etc.
A company that complies with such ethical standards is much better positioned in the market and has a higher level of reliability by investors and consumers.
Answer: C. Social responsibility, fair pricing and truth in advertising.
Explanation:
Mohave Corp. is considering outsourcing production of the umbrella tote bag included with some of its products. The company has received a bid from a supplier in Vietnam to produce 9,000 units per year for $8.00 each. Mohave has the following information about the cost of producing tote bags:
Direct materials $5.00
Direct labor 1.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead 2.00
Total cost per unit $9.00
Mohave has determined that all variable costs could be eliminated by outsourcing the tote bags, while 70 percent of the fixed overhead cost is unavoidable. At this time, Mohave has no specific use in mind for the space currently dedicated to producing the tote bags.
Required:
a. Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the umbrella tote bag.
b. Based strictly on the incremental analysis, should Mohave buy the tote bags or continue to make them?
Answer:
Please see below
Explanation:
1. The level of production for the subject analysis is 9,000 units per year
Options for outsourcing
Variable unit costs = $8.00
Unavoidable unit fixed costs = 70% × $2 = $1.4
Total : $8 + $1.4 = $9.4 per unit
In house option:
Direct materials = $5
Direct labor = $1
Variable manufacturing overhead = $1
Fixed manufacturing overhead = $2
Total : $9
The cost of buying the umbrella outside is $9.4 , which is $0.4 higher than making it in-company.
2. Mohave should continue to make the tote bags instead of buying them.
Gomez runs a small pottery firm. He hires one helper at $14,500 per year, pays annual rent of $7,500 for his shop, and spends $18,000 per year on materials. He has $40,000 of his own funds invested in equipment (pottery wheels, kilns, and so forth) that could earn him $5,000 per year if alternatively invested. He has been offered $23,000 per year to work as a potter for a competitor. He estimates he could use his talents to earn an additional $6,000 per year in consulting fees if he were working full time as a potter. Total annual revenue from pottery sales is $86,000.

Answer:
Gomez
Accounting Vs. Economic Profit
Accounting profit:
Sales revenue $86,000
Business cost 40,000
Profit $46,000
Economic profit:
Accounting profit $46,000
Opportunity cost 34,000
Profit $ 12,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual Wages for helper = $14,500
Annual Rent = $7,500
Annual Direct materials = $18,000
Business cost = $40,000
Funds investment = $40,000
Opportunity cost (alternative option)
Interest on funds = $5,000
Wages 23,000
Consulting fees 6,000
Total opportunity costs = $34,000
Total annual sales revenue = $86,000
b) Gomez's economic profit equals the accounting profit minus the expenses incurred for lost opportunities (alternative uses) of resources. This means that the economic profit is always less than the accounting profit, which does not consider opportunity costs.
