Retained earnings for the year is:
= Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividends
Year 1
= 0 + 1,200 - 500
= $700
Year 2
= 700 + 1,700 - 500
= $1,900
Year 3
= 1,900 + 2,100 - 1,000
= $3,000
Year 4
= 3,000 + 3,200 - 1,000
= $5,200
Year 5
= 5,200 + 4,400 - 1,000
= $8,600
What is a companys obligation to contribute to the sustainability of natural resources
Answer:
Companies have a corporate social responsibility towards their environment.
Explanation:
Corporate social responsibility implies that companies are expected to engage in industrial practices that would not result in harm to their environment. For example, the amount of carbon being released into the environment must be controlled as excessive release of carbon can be detrimental to health. It is also not right for waste to be discharged into the oceans because the health of the sea animals, the ocean itself and those who swim in it are at risk.
To promote sustainability, companies avoid practices that would eventually harm their environment. Abiding by these practices might take a longer route, but is eventually cost effective and beneficial.

Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,350 per month interest, if they can get 7 % interest compounded monthly.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9 % and the term is twenty years.
Answer:
(a) The amount needed is $192,000.
(b) The monthly payment is $150.98.
Explanation:
Note: There are errors in this question. The correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.
This can be calculated using the following future value formula:
FV = P / i ........................... (1)
Where;
FV = Amount needed at maturity = ?
P = Monthly payment or amount to generate monthly = $1,200
i = monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 7.25% / 12 = 0.075 / 12 = 0.00625
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,200 / 0.00625 = $192,000
Therefore, the amount needed is $192,000.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.
This can be calculated using the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)
Where,
FV = Future value = $192,000
M = Monthly payment = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = 9.75% / 12 = 0.0975 / 12 = 0.008125
n = number of months = 25 years * Number of months in a year = 25 * 12 = 300
Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for M, we have:
$192,000 = M * (((1 + 0.008125)^300 - 1) / 0.008125)
$192,000 = M * 1271.65920375075
M = $192,000 / 1271.65920375075
M = $150.98
Therefore, the monthly payment is $150.98.
In a month, Carlos can produce a maximum of either 30 bushels of pears or 15 bushels of apples, or any linear combination in between. Similarly, Donna can produce a maximum of either 20 bushels of pears or 5 bushels of apples, or any linear combination in between.
a. What is the opportunity cost for Carlos to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
b. What is the opportunity cost for Donna to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
c. What would Donna and Carlos agree to as acceptable terms of trade?
Answer:
a. What is the opportunity cost for Carlos to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
opportunity cost to produce 1 more bushel of apples = 30 / 15 = 2 bushels of pears
b. What is the opportunity cost for Donna to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
opportunity cost to produce 1 more bushel of apples = 20 / 5 = 4 bushels of pears
c. What would Donna and Carlos agree to as acceptable terms of trade?
Donna has a comparative advantage in the production of pears, so she should produce pears and exchange them for apples produced by Carlos.
Any range between 1-2 pears (higher than 1, but lower than 2) exchanged for every apple would result in mutually beneficial trade.
Suppose two projects have the same expected business value. Project A has a very high estimated business value along with a high probability of failure. Project B has a much lower estimated business value along with a low probability of failure. If you could do only one of the projects, which one would you choose and under what conditions
Answer:
Project B has a much lower estimated business value along with a low probability of failure.
Explanation:
In order to do only one type of project that has the same business values. I would choose a project that has a low probability of failure. Though it has a low value but in the long run will lead to economic profit and shareholders value. For selection, we need to find out the benefits gained by the project.If a person could choose only one project he must select Project B as it has a much lower estimated business value along with a low probability of failure.
What are the selection criteria for the project?Project B would be a better option to choose as it is giving less risk to business as compared to Project B in terms of failure. However, the value of Project B is less but it has the potential to generate economic profits in the long run.
Therefore, by evaluating the cost and benefit from two projects shareholder's interest would be intact more through Project B.

Its price–earnings ratio for 2017 is 24. What is the market price per share of stock?
Answer:
$74,16
Explanation:
Note : I have attached the full question as images below !
Price Earning ratio = Price per share ÷ Earnings per share
= $24
Where,
Earnings per share = Earnings attributable to Common Stock holders ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Outstanding
therefore,
Earnings per share = $1,640 ÷ 530 = $3.09
so,
Market Price per share = Price Earning ratio x Earnings per share
Market Price per share = $24 x $3.09
= $74,16

A firm has total assets of $162,000, long-term debt of $46,000, stockholders' equity of $95,000, and current liabilities of $21,000. The dividend payout ratio is 60 percent and the profit margin is 8 percent. Assume all assets and current liabilities change spontaneously with sales and the firm is currently operating at full capacity. What is the external financing need if the current sales of $150,000 are projected to increase by 10 percent
Answer:
$8,820
Explanation:
The percentage of sales formula for computing the funding requirement is stated thus:
AFN = (A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - (PM x FS x retention ratio)
AFN=additional funds=unknown
A-current level of total assets=$162,000
S- current sales $150,000
=Δ Sales=Change in sales=increase in sales=$150,000*10%=$15000
L-spontaneous liabilities=current liabilities=$21,000
PM-profit margin =8%
retention ratio=1-dividend payout ratio=1-60%=40%
FS-forecast sales =$150,000+$15000=$165,000
AFN =($162,000/$150,000)*$15000))-($21,000/$150,000)*$15000-(8%*$165,000*40%)
AFN =$16,200-$2,100-$5280

Linda's AGI for the year is 30,000. Her residence sustained damage from hurricane Maria (a federally declared natural disaster) in the current year: Her adjusted basis in the house: $150,000 Fair market value immediately before Maria $200,000 Fair market value immediately after Maria $180,000 How much will be her deductible casualty loss for the year
Answer: $16900
Explanation:
Her deductible casualty loss for the year would be:
Fair market value = $200,000
Less: FMV after Maria = $180,000
Reduction in the FMV of house = $20,000
Less: 10% of AGI = 10% × $30,000 = 0.1 × $30,000 = $3,000
Remaining Value after deduction = $17,000
Less: $100 deduction = $17000 - $100 = $16900
Therefore, deductible casualty loss for the year is $16,900
a. On April 1, the company retained an attorney for a flat monthly fee of $3,500. Payment for April legal services was made by the company on May 12.
b. A $324,000 note payable requires 9.0% annual interest, or $2,430, to be paid at the 20th day of each month. The interest was last paid on April 20 and the next payment is due on May 20. As of April 30, $810 of interest expense has accrued.
c. Total weekly salaries expense for all employees is $14,000. This amount is paid at the end of the day on Friday of each five-day workweek. April 30 falls on a Tuesday, which means that the employees had worked two days since the last payday. The next payday is May 3.
Required:
The above three separate situations require adjusting journal entries to prepare financial statements as of April 30. For each situation, present both the April 30 adjusting entry and the subsequent entry during May to record the payment of the accrued expenses.
Answer:
Journal Entries for April and May
a. April 30:
Debit Legal Fee Expense $3,500
Credit Legal Fee Payable $3,500
To record the legal fee expense for April.
May 12:
Debit Legal Fee Payable $3,500
Credit Cash $3,500
To record the payment of April legal fee.
b. April 30:
Debit Interest Expense $2,430
Credit Cash $1,620
Credit Interest Expense Payable $810
To record accrued interest expense
May 20:
Debit Interest Expense Payable $810
Credit Cash $810
To record the payment of accrued interest.
c. April 30:
Debit Salary Expense $5,600
Credit Salary Expense Payable $5,600
To record the salary expense for 2 days accrued.
May 3:
Debit Salary Expense Payable $5,600
Debit Salary Expense $8,400
Credit Cash $14,000
To record the payment of salary for the week.
Explanation:
We have used the journal entries to adjust accrued expenses and also to record the actual payment when they occur. Journal entries help to record transactions as they occur and to make adjustments at the end of the accounting period so that accruals, prepayments, deferred revenue, and depreciation expense are properly recorded when they occur and not when payment is made.
Select the statements below that are correct. Choose one or more: A. Conditional factor demands give the profit-maximizing choices of inputs, given the price of output. B. An isocost curve represents all possible combinations of the inputs of production that yield the same cost. C. If the cost of producing y units of output is C dollars, the isoquant for the level of output y must be identical to the isocost for C dollars. D. The cost function measures the minimal cost of producing any level of output, given the costs of the factors of production. E. An isoquant represents all possible combinations of the inputs of production that yield the same level of output.
Answer: B. An isocost curve represents all possible combinations of the inputs of production that yield the same cost.
D. The cost function measures the minimal cost of producing any level of output, given the costs of the factors of production.
E. An isoquant represents all possible combinations of the inputs of production that yield the same level of output.
Explanation:
Option A is incorrect
The conditional factor demand doesn't give the profit maximizing level given the output choices.
Option B is correct
An isocost curve represents all possible combinations of the inputs of production that yield the same cost.
Option C is incorrect
If the cost of producing y units of output is C dollars, it doesn't imply that the isoquant for the level of output y must be identical to the isocost for C dollars.
Option D is correct
The cost function measures the minimal cost of producing any level of output, given the costs of the factors of production.
Option E is correct
An isoquant represents all possible combinations of the inputs of production that yield the same level of output.
Therefore, the correct options are B, D, and E.
Webber Technologies is an emerging manufacturer of 3.5 inch diagonal touch screens for mobile communication devices/media players. 2011 industry sales were reported at 17.50 million units. This number represents an 17.7 % increase over 2010 industry sales. Webber Technologies had a 2010 market share of 5.9 %, compared with a 2011 market share of 4.2%. What was the change in unit sales for Webber Technologies, from 2010 to 2011, attributable to the change in industry sales
Answer:
Industry Sales (2011) = 17,500,000
Industry Sales (2010) = Sales of 2011/1+growth = 17,500,000/1+17.7% = 17,500,000/1.177 = $14868309.26083263 = $14,868,309.26
Company Sales (2011) = 17,500,000 * 4.2% = $735,000
Company Sales (2010) = 14,868,309.26 * 5.9% = $877,230.25
Change in units = Company sales in 2011 - Company Sales in 2010 = $735,000 - $877,230.25 = $142,230.25
Change due to change in Industry growth = Company Sales in 2010 * 17.7% = $877,230.25 * 17.7% = 155,269.75
So, there is net increase of 155,269.75 units of sales due to industry growth.
g Your financial advisor offers you two different investment options. Plan A offers a $17,000 annual payment, in perpetuity. Plan B offers $30,000 annual payments for 18 years. Both plans will make their first payment one year from today. What discount rate would make you indifferent to these two plans
Answer:
4.76%
Explanation:
The requirement in this question is determining the discount rate which gives the same present value in both cases since discount rates discount future cash flows to present value terms.
PV of a pertuity=annual cash flow/discount rate
PV of a pertuity=$17,000/r
PV of ordinary annuity=annual cash flow*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
PV of ordinary annuity=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r
$17,000/r=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r
multiply boths side by r
17000=30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18
divide both sides by 30000
17000/30000=1-(1+r)^-18
0.566666667=1-(1+r)^-18
by rearraging the equation we have the below
(1+r)^-18=1-0.566666667
(1+r)^-18=0.433333333
divide indices on both sides by -18
1+r=(0.433333333)^(1/-18)
1+r=1.047554315
r=1.047554315-1
r=4.76%
6. Classify each of the following statements as positive or normative. Explain. a. Society faces a short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment. b. A reduction in the rate of money growth will reduce the rate of inflation. c. The Federal Reserve should reduce the rate of money growth. d. Society ought to require welfare recipients to look for jobs. e. Lower tax rates encourage more work and more saving.
Answer:
Positive
b. Positive
c. Normative
d. Normative
e. Positive
Explanation:
Positive Economics is objective and statements are usually based on facts and economic theory. They can be tested.
For example, there is a theory known as Phillips curve. It is when society faces a short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment. Also it is known that lower tax increases disposable income which increases savings or consumption.
Normative economics is based value judgements, opinions and perspectives. For example, the statement - The Federal Reserve should reduce the rate of money growth is an opinion
Perot Corporation is developing a new CPU chip based on a new type of technology. Its new chip, the Patay2 chip, will take two years to develop. However, because other chip manufacturers will be able to copy the technology, it will have a market life of two years after it is introduced. Perot expects to be able to price the chip higher in the first year, and it anticipates a significant production cost reduction after the first year as well. The relevant information for developing and selling the Patay2 is given as follows: PATAY2 CHIP PRODUCT ESTIMATES Development cost $ 20,000,000 Pilot testing $ 5,000,000 Debug $ 3,200,000 Ramp-up cost $ 3,000,000 Advance marketing $ 5,400,000 Marketing and support cost $ 1,000,000 per year Unit production cost year 1 $ 655.00 Unit production cost year 2 $ 545.00 Unit price year 1 $ 820.00 Unit price year 2 $ 650.00 Sales and production volume year 1 250,000 Sales and production volume year 2 150,000 Interest rate 10 %

Net present value of this project = Present value of year 1 revenue + Present value of year 2 revenue - Year 0 total cost - Present value of Year 1 total cost - Present value of Year 2 total cost = $149,090,909.09 + $53,719,008.26 - $36,600,000.00 - $120,000,000.00 - $45,867,768.60 = $342,148.76
Rounding to the nearest thousand, we have:
Net present value of this project = $342,000
A company issued 5%, 20-year bonds with a face amount of $80 million. The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 6%. Interest is paid semiannually. At what price did the bonds sell?

On May 1, Cobb and Mott formed a partnership and agreed to share profits and losses in the ratio of 3:7, respectively. Cobb contributed a parcel of land that cost him $10,000. Mott contributed $40,000 cash. The land was sold for $18,000 on that same date, immediately after formation of the partnership. What amount should be recorded in Cobb's capital account on formation of the partnership
Answer: $18000
Explanation:
We should note that the value of the contributed assets would be based on the fair values.
With regards to the question, we are already informed that the land was sold for $18,000 which in this case is the fair value of the asset.
Therefore, the amount that should be recorded in Cobb's capital account on formation of the partnership would be $18000.

Chelsea verbally agrees to pay $1,000 to Annie for her hair services within thirteen months. Must this agreement be in writing under the statute of frauds? Yes. The one-year rule requires all contracts that cannot be performed within one year to be in writing. No. This scenario is not subject to the statute of frauds. No. This contract would be enforceable, since it is possible Chelsea could pay earlier than a year. None of the above.
Answer:
Yes. The one-year rule requires all contracts that cannot be performed within one year to be in writing.
Explanation:
Indeed, under the 'statute of frauds' concept, contracts involving the sale of land that over $500 and lasts for more than a year must be put in writing.
In other words, according to the 'statute of frauds' legal concept, the contractual agreement made by Chelsea and Annie extends above 1 year and is above $500, and so must be put down in writing.
The Cinci Company issues $100,000, 10% bonds at 103 on April 1, 2020. The bonds are dated January 1, 2020 and mature eight years from that date. Straight-line amortization is used. Interest is paid annually each December 31. Compute the bond carrying value as of December 31, 2023.
Answer:
$101,593.75
Explanation:
Total amortization period = 8 Years = 8 x 12 = 96 months
Number of months of Amortization = 9 months in 2020 + (3*12 months) till 2023 = 9 months + 36 months = 45 months
Premium on bonds payable = Issue Price - Face Value
Premium on bonds payable = ($100,000*103%) - $100,000
Premium on bonds payable = $103,000 - $100,000
Premium on bonds payable = $3,000
Unamortized premium = Premium on bonds payable - Amortized premium
Unamortized premium = $3,000 - $3,000*45/96
Unamortized premium = $3,000 - $1,406.25
Unamortized premium = $1,593.75
Carrying value on December 31,2023 = $100,000 + $1,593.75
Carrying value on December 31,2023 = $101,593.75
among the major drawbacks of highly centralized organizational structure is that it allows for tight control from the top that makes it easy to fix accountability when things do not go well. allows top executives to retain authority for most strategic and operating decisions. can lengthen response times by those closest to the market conditions because they must seek approval for their actions. relies on the assumption that most company personnel have neither the time nor the inclination to direct and properly control the work they are performing and, further, that they lack the knowledge and judgment to make wise decisions about how best to do their work. is based on strict enforcement of detailed procedures backed by rigorous managerial oversight as the most reliable way to keep the daily execution of strategy on track.
Answer: can lengthen response times by those closest to the market conditions because they must seek approval for their actions
Explanation:
Centralization simply refers to a form of organizational scenario where there is one person at the top that usually makes the major decisions for the company. The powers are usually held by those at the top and messages are passed to the lower level to be implemented.
One major drawback is that it can lengthen the response times by those closest to the market conditions because they must seek approval for their actions.

A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who together produced an average of 100 carts per hour. Workers receive $11 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $12 per hour, while output increased by 4 carts per hour. a. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
A. Labor productivity before=16 cart per workers-hour
Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour
B. Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour
Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour
Explanation:
A. Computation of labor productivity under each system
Labor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/6 workers
Labor productivity Before=16 cart per workers-hour
Labor productivity After=(100 carts per hour+4 carts per hour)/4 workers
Labor productivity After=(104carts per hour /4 workers
Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour
B. Computation of the multifactor productivity under each system.
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/(6 workers*$11 per hour)+$40 per hour
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/($66 per hour+$40 per hour)
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/$106 per hour
Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour
Multifactor productivity before=(100carts per hour + 4carts per hour)/(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /($66 per hour+$52 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /118per hour
Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

Consider the following yields to maturity on various one-year zero-coupon securities: Security: Treasury AAA Corporate BBB Corporate B Corporate Yield (%): 4.6 4.8 5.6 6.2 The price (expressed as a percentage of the face value) of a one-year, zero-coupon, corporate bond with a BBB rating is closest to:
Answer:
94.70%
Explanation:
The computation of the price expressed as a percentage of the face value is given below:
= Price ÷ Face value × 100
= (Face value ÷ (1 + YTM)) ÷ Face value × 100
= ($1,000 ÷ (1 + 5.6%)) ÷ ($1,000) × 100
= $946.97 ÷ $1,000 × 100
= 94.70%
Hence, the price expressed as a percentage of the face value is 94.70%
Here we assume the face value be $1,000
