Chapter 1 5. Using the present and future value tables in Appendix A, the appropriate calculations on the Garman/Forguecompanion website, or a financial calculator, calculate the following: (a)The amount a person would need to deposit today to be able to withdraw $6,000 each year for ten years from an account earning 6 percent. (b)A person is offered a gift of $5,000 now or $8,000 five years from now. If such funds could be ex-pected to earn 8 percent over the next five years, which is the better choice

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Present value = PV(-PMT, N, I/Y)

Present value = PV(-6000, 10, 6)

Present value = $44,160.52

So, the amount to deposit today = $44,160.52

B: Present Value of choice 1 = $5,000

Choice 2: Present value = PV(FV, N, I/Y)

Present value = PV(8000, 5, 8)

Present value = $5,444.67

Hence, Choice 2 is the better choice since it has higher present value ($5,444.67 > $5,000)

Sandhill uses the conventional retail method to determine its ending inventory at cost. Assume the beginning inventory at cost (retail) were $386000 ($590000), purchases during the current year at cost (retail) were $1975000 ($3220000), freight-in on these purchases totaled $125000, sales during the current year totaled $2920000, and net markups (markdowns) were $68000 ($104000). What is the ending inventory value at cost

Answers

Answer:

$567,056

Explanation:

Cost :

Merchanidize available for sale

= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Freight in

= $386,000 + $1,975,000 + $125,000

= $2,486,000

Retails:

Merchandize available for sale:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Markups

= $590,000 + $3,220,000 + $68,000

= $3,878,000

Ending inventory at retail = Retail total -markdowns - Net sales

= $3,878,000 - $104,000 - $2,920,000

= $854,000

Cost to retail ratio = $2,486,000 ÷ ($2,920,000 + $854,000)

= $2,486,000 ÷ $3,744,000

= 66.40%

Ending inventory at retail = $854,000

And

Cost to retail ratio = 66.40%

Therefore,

Ending inventory at cost = $854,000 × 66.40% = $567,056

A Saudi Arabian government-run hospital hired American Scott Nelson to be an engineer. The parties signed the employment agreement in the United States. On the job, Nelson reported that the hospital had significant safety defects. For this, he was arrested, jailed, and tortured for 39 days. Upon his release to the United States, Nelson sued the Saudi government for personal injury. Can Nelson sue Saudi Arabia

Answers

Answer:

No, Nelson cannot sue. The US Supreme Court ruled that regardless of the monstrous activities carried out by the Saudi government and the fact that they tend to solve commercial disputes by putting people in jail and torturing them, the events happened in Saudi Arabia. And they were not related to the contract signed by Nelson, the police and the hospital are considered sperate entities by the US laws.

The court recognized that Saudi behavior was really bad, but they had jurisdiction over it. This is a strictly police matter. Saudi Arabia and most Arab states are known for these type of activities, but people continue to go to work there because they offer high salaries. They forget that a golden cage is still a prison.

Determine Danielson's postretirement benefit expense for the current year.

Answers

Answer: $‭207,00‬

Explanation:

Postretirement benefit for the year is:

= Service cost + Interest cost + Amortization of prior service cost - Return on plant assets - Amortization of net gain

Interest cost = Discount rate *  Actual Projected benefit obligation (APBO)

= 8% * 800,000

= $64,000

Return on plant assets = Return on plan assets (actual and expected)* Plan assets

= 10% * 80,000

= $8,000

Postretirement benefit = 150,000 + 64,000 + 2,000 - 8,000 - 1,000

= $‭207,000‬

For example, what would be some of the effective and ineffective individual and leadership behaviors regarding team environmental, design, process, and effectiveness practices

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the team effectiveness model (Exhibit 7.2). You did not a link or picture of it.

However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following model.

We are going to use the Katzenbach and Smith Team Model.

This team effectiveness model has three important components at the base of the pyramid: collective work product, commitment, and personal growth.

From there, the next level indicates the specific goals of the team, the ground rules, the common approach, and the meaningful purpose of the team.

Going up the pyramid we have the Skills and Accountability.

In the Skills, the authors include interpersonal skills, technical skills, and problem-solving abilities. Regarding Accountability, the authors include mutual and personal accountability.

At the very top of the pyramid, we have the performance results.

This model helps to establish the foundation of the role individual team members and leaders play in ensuring team success.

For this to happen, leaders have to set the example of the n¿behavior they like to observe on team members. On the other hand, setting that example, team members are expected to follow through with the goals and expectations, following high standards of performance to accomplish goals.

Answers

Answer:

The most likely outcome would be that Lois will still have to sell Stew the house

Explanation:

The most likely outcome would be that Lois will still have to sell Stew the house. This is mainly because Lois accepted Stew's offer of $100,000 and Stew already fulfilled part of the agreement. By simply paying the $10,000 that he left Stew he has already fulfilled part of his side of the agreement which solidifies the agreement and makes it legally binding. Therefore, he would most likely win a court case if Lois decides to back out of the agreement.

The monthly payment on a three-year lease of a hybrid is $499 compared to $399 per month on a conventional, equivalent traditional gasoline car that gets 25 miles per gallon. Both vehicles require a one-time $1,500 payment for taxes, license, and dealer charges. Both vehicles have identical lease terms for the residual value, maximum number of miles allowed without penalty, and so forth.

Required:
a. Calculate how many miles the consumer must drive per year to make the hybrid the economical choice over the conventional gasoline-only vehicle.
b. How does your answer to part (a) change if the price of gasoline is $4.00per gallon?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The number of miles driven  per year is

Let us assume the mileage be M

Now

$499 + M ($3 ÷ 50) = $399 + M ($3 ÷ 25)

$100 = M(0.12 - 0.06)

M = $100 ÷ 0.06

= 1,666.66 miles per month

For year, it is

= 1,666.66 × 12

= 20,000 miles per year

c. Now in the case when the gasoline price is $4 per gallon

$499 + M ($4 ÷ 50) = $399 + M ($4 ÷ 25)

$100 = M(0.16 - 0.08)

M = $100 ÷ 0.08

= 1,250 miles per month

For year, it is

= 1,250 × 12

= 15,000 miles per year

The primary difference between a change in supply and a change in the quantity supplied is: Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a both a change in quantity supplied and a change in supply are shifts in the supply curve, only in different directions. b both a change in quantity supplied and a change in supply are movements along the supply curve, only in different directions. c a change in supply is caused by a change in the price of the good itself, and a change in quantity supplied is caused by a change in a non-price determinant of supply. d a change in quantity supplied is caused by a change in the price of the good itself, and a change in supply is caused by a change in a non-price determinant of supply.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A change in quantity supplied is as a result of a change in the price of the good. This change in the price leads to a movement along the supply curve. If price increases, there is an upward movement up along the supply curve and if there is a decrease in price, there is a movement down the demand curve.

A change in supply is caused by other factors other than price. Some of these factors include :

A change in the number of suppliersThe cost in the price of raw materials needed in the production of the good.

A change in supply leads to a movement outward or inward

A firm's current profits are $1,400,000. These profits are expected to grow indefinitely at a constant annual rate of 4 percent. If the firm's opportunity cost of funds is 7 percent, determine the value of the firm:

Answers

Answer:

$ 48,533,333.33

Explanation:

The value of the firm now is the present value of its profits using the constant growth rate model formula as provided below:

PV of profits(value of the firm)=expected profits/(opportunity cost of funds-constant growth rate)

expected profits=current profits*(1+constant growth rate)

current profits =$1,400,000

constant growth rate=4%

expected profits=$1,400,000*(1+4%)

expected profits=$1,456,000

the opportunity cost of funds=7%

PV of profits(value of the firm)=$1,456,000/(7%-4%)

PV of profits(value of the firm)=$1,456,000/3%

PV of profits(value of the firm)=$ 48,533,333.33  

A firm produces truffles by using labor and capital. The price of labor is $10 per unit, and the price of capital is $20 per unit. At current output level, the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the marginal product of capital is 60 truffles. To reduce the total cost of producing the current quantity of truffles, how should the firm change its spending on labor and capital

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

With the information given in the question, the firm should change its spending on labor and capital by increasing its labor and at thesame time, also reducing capital.

This is because since the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the price of labor is $10 per unit, it means that 4 truffles/dollar is being spent on labor, while for capital, 3 truffles/dollar is being spent.

A couple of generations ago, a relative of Sophia wanted to share his wealth with family members and decided to open a special bank account. The purpose of such financial instrument was to pay out an annuity forever, which would be shared among all family members. Given that the initial deposit was 478,694 dollars and the prevailing interest rate at that time was 5 %, compounded annually, find the value of the annuity this family collects every year.

Answers

Answer:

$23,934.70

Explanation:

Perpetuity (P) Present Value = Deposit = $478,694

Perpetuity annuity value = Deposit * Interest rate

Perpetuity annuity value = $478,694 * 5%

Perpetuity annuity value = $23,934.70
