In an economy with no government and no foreign sector, autonomous consumer spending is $250 billion, planned investment spending is $350 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 2/3. What is the income-expenditure equilibrium GDP (i.e. Y*)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $1800 billion.

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the consumption function will be given as:

= a + bY

= 250 + 2/3Y

Then, aggregate expenditure will be:

= 250 + 2/3Y + 350

= 600 + 2/3Y

Then, the income-expenditure equilibrium GDP (i.e. Y*) will be at the point that the real GDP is equal to the aggregate expenditure. This will be:

Y = 600 + 2/3Y

Y - 2/3Y = 600

1/3Y = 600

Y = 3 × 600

Y = 1800

Therefore, the income-expenditure equilibrium GDP is $1800 billion.

How much higher or lower will net operating income be if the underapplied or overapplied overhead is allocated to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold rather than being closed to Cost of Goods Sold?

Answers

Answer:

Answer:

1. Overhead over applied= $521,000

2. Factory Overhead   Dr.     $ 521,000

Cost Of Goods Sold Cr.    $ 521,000

3. Work in Process,  (ratio)   $521,000 *    7%=  36,470

Finished Goods,              $521,000   *     19%=  98,990

Cost of Goods Sold       $521,000    *    74%=  385,540

Total                        $521,000     100%

4. Difference between the two CGS= $ 136,060

Explanation:

Predetermined Overhead  Costs $1,152,000

Estimated activity level of 72,000 machine-hours

Overhead rate= $ 1152,000/ 72,000= $ 16 per hour

Manufacturing overhead cost $551,000

Actual hours = 67,000

Overhead applied to WIP = 67,000 * 16= $ 1072,000

Overhead over applied= $ 1072,000 - $551000= $521,000

Part 2:

Factory Overhead   Dr.     $ 521,000

Cost Of Goods Sold Cr.    $ 521,000

The Cost of Goods Sold is credited and Factory overhead is debited.

Part 3:

Suppose the overhead is applied in the following ratio

Work in Process,  (ratio)   $37,520          7%   (37520/536,00*100%)

Finished Goods,              $101,840         19%      (101840/536,00*100%)

Cost of Goods Sold       $396, 640        74%     (396,640/536,00*100%)

Total                        $536,000     100%

The  overhead over applied  would be allocated in the following way applying the same ratio as determined above.

Work in Process,  (ratio)   $521,000 *    7%=  36,470

Finished Goods,              $521,000   *     19%=  98,990

Cost of Goods Sold       $521,000    *    74%=  385,540

Total                        $521,000     100%

Part 4:

Cost of Goods Sold ( overhead applied of $396, 640) $1,472,600

Less    Overhead   overapplied      $ 521,000

CGS = $ 951,000

Cost of Goods Sold (overhead applied to WIP & FG) $1,472,600

Less   Overapplied Overhead $ 385,540

CGS=  $ 1087,060

Difference between the two CGS = $ 1087,060- $ 951,000= $ 136,060

What is credit sales?

Credit sales refer to a sale in which the amount owed will be paid at a later date. In other words, credit sales are purchases made by customers who do not render payment in full, in cash, at the time of purchase.

There are three main types of sales transactions: cash sales, credit sales, and advance payment sales. The difference between these sales transactions simply lies in the timing of when cash is received. 1. Cash sales: Cash is collected when the sale is made and the goods or services are delivered to the customer. 2. Credit sales: Customers are given a period of time after the sale is made to pay the seller.

3. Advance payment sales: Customers pay the seller in advance before the sale is made.

What profit can be anticipated with a demand of 3,400 copies?

With a demand of 3,400 copies, what is the access price per copy that the publisher must charge to break even?

Answer:

Eastman Publishing Company

a) A loss of $7,200 can be anticipated with a demand of 3,400.

b) The access price per copy with a demand of 3,400 copies should be $51.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fixed cost = $150,000

Variable costs per book = $7

Selling price of single-user access per book = $49

Demand = 3,400 copies

Profit based on a demand of 3,400 copies:

Income Statement:

Sales Revenue ($49 *3,400) $166,600

Variable costs ($7 * 3,400)       23,400

Contribution margin              $142,800

Fixed cost                                150,000

Net loss                                     $7,200

To break-even, the total sales revenue should be equal to the total costs.  Therefore, the access price should be:

Total costs:

Fixed cost  $150,000

Variable         23,400

Total costs $173,400

Sales unit        3,400

Access price = $51.00 ($173,400/3,400)

Answers

Answer:

$2.13

Explanation:

Computation what the basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019 be

Using this formula

Basic earnings per share = Net income - preferred dividends / Weighted average no of shares outstanding

Let plug in the formula

Basic earnings per share = $143,100 - (9,000*4.65%*100) / (36,000*12/12)+(18,000*8/12) - (4,300*1/12)

Basic earnings per share = $143,100 - 41,850 / 36,000+12,000 - 358

Basic earnings per share = 101,250 / 47,642

Basic earnings per share =$2.13

Therefore the basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019 be $2.13

Despite the complications inherent in any extension of the CAPM with a labor component, labor is an important consideration in explaining the systematic risk of financial securities.

b. False

Explanation:

Instead of being an important component of the systematic risk, labor is a component of the unsystematic risk of a financial security or investment.  Therefore, the risk arising from the labor component is a type of unsystematic risk.  Unsystematic risks are peculiar to a firm or an industry.  They are internal to the business environment of a firm or an industry.  Systematic risks are market-driven risks.  These latter risks include market, interest rate, and purchasing power (inflation) risks.

A mining company is evaluating when to open a gold mine. The mine has 100,000 ounces of gold left that can be mined and mining operations will produce 10,000 ounces per year. The price of gold from the mine will be guaranteed for the remaining life of the mine through the gold futures contracts. If the mine is opened today, each ounce of gold will generate an after-tax cash flow (= total or net cash flow) of $1,300 per ounce. If the company waits one year, there is a 70 percent probability that the contract price will generate an after-tax cash flow of $1,550 per ounce and a 30 percent probability that the after-tax cash flow will be $1,200 per ounce. The required return on the gold mine is 15 percent and it will cost $30,000,000 to open the mine regardless of whether the mine is open today or in one year. Compute the value of the option to wait today.

Answers

Answer:

The value of the option to wait today = $2,500,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Quantity of gold left in the mine = 100,000 ounces

Quantity of gold to be produced yearly = 10,000 ounces

Estimated life of mine = 10 years (100,000/10,000)

After-tax cash flow if mine is opened today = $1,300 per ounce

After-tax cash flow if mine is opened a year later:

Expected value = ($1,550 * 70%) + ($1,200 * 30%) = $1,325 per ounce

Comparison of the values of opening options:

                                                  Mine opened       Mine opened

                                                        today                 a year later

After-tax cash flow per ounce       $1,300                   $1,325

Quantity of gold in the mine       100,000                 100,000

Total after-tax cash flows  $130,000,000       $132,500,000

Cost of opening mine           30,000,000           30,000,000

Required return (15%)             4,500,000              4,500,000

Actual returns from mine $100,000,000        $102,500,000

Therefore, the value of option to wait:

Returns from mine opened next year = $102,500,000

Returns from mine opened today =          100,000,000

Value of the option to wait today =            $2,500,000

Lo-crete produces quick setting concrete mix. Production of 200,000 tons was started in April, 190,000 tons were completed. Material costs were $3,152,000 for the month while conversion costs were $591,000. There was no beginning work-in-process; the ending work-in-process was 70% complete. What is the cost of the product that was completed and transferred to finished goods

Answers

Answer:

$3,564,400

Explanation:

Equivalent units of Production

Materials = 190,000 + 10,000 = 200,000

Conversion cost = 190,000 + 10,000 x 70% = 197,000

Cost per equivalent units

Materials = $3,152,000 / 200,000 =$15.76

Conversion Cost = $591,000 / 197,000 =$3.00

Total cost per unit = $18.76

Therefore,

the cost of the product that was completed and transferred to finished goods is $3,564,400 ( 190,000 x $18.76)

In 2013, Chirac Enterprises issued, at par, 75 $1,060, 8% bonds, each convertible into 200 shares of common stock. Chirac had revenues of $19,100 and expenses other than interest and taxes of $8,860 for 2014. (Assume that the tax rate is 40%.)

(Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.55.)

Answers

Answer:

Chirac Enterprises

a) Diluted EPS = $0. 35

b) Diluted EPS = $0. 35

c) Diluted EPS = $0. 35

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Issued at par 75 $1,060, 8% bonds = $70,000 Bonds Premium $9,500

Each of the 75 bonds are convertible into 200 shares = 15,000 (75 * 200) shares

2014 Revenue     $19,100

2014 expenses      8,860

Pre-tax income  $10,240

Tax (40%)              4,096

Net income         $6,144

Ordinary EPS = $2.43 per share ($6,144/2,530)

Common shares = 2,530

Convertible bonds shares = 15,000

Total shares = 17,530

Diluted EPS = $0. 35 ($6,144/17,530) per share

b) The basic assumption for computing diluted earnings per share is that  Chirac's earnings are expressed per share (EPS) as if all convertible securities were exercised.  This implies that whether the bonds had been converted or not, the number of the shares used for calculating diluted earnings per share will remain the same in these scenarios.

Calculate the required rate of return for Mudd Enterprises assuming that investors expect a 5.0% rate of inflation in the future. The real risk-free rate is 1.5%, and the market risk premium is 5.0%. Mudd has a beta of 1.5, and its realized rate of return has averaged 13.5% over the past 5 years. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

r of Mudd = 14.00%

Explanation:

The required rate of return for Mudd Enterprises can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The equation is as follows,

r = rRF + Beta  *  rpM

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterpM is the market risk premium

We know the beta for Mudd and we also know the market risk premium. We will need to calculate the risk free rate.

Risk free rate =  Real risk free rate  +  expected inflation rate

Risk free rate = 1.5%  +  5%

Risk free rate = 6.5%

r of Mudd = 6.5%  +  1.5  *  5%

r of Mudd = 14.00%

Management at the Flagstaff Company currently sells its products for $250 per unit and is contemplating a 40% increase in the selling price for the next year. Variable costs are currently 30% of sales revenue and are not expected to change in dollar amount on a per unit basis next year (the company will still pay the same variable cost per unit). Fixed expenses are $120,000 per year. If fixed costs were to decrease 10% during the current year and the new selling price goes into effect, how many units will need to be sold to breakeven

Answers

Answer:

393 units will need to be sold to breakeven

Explanation:

Break even point is the point where a Company makes neither makes a profit nor a loss.

Step 1 : Calculate new variables

New Sales = $250 x 1.40 = $350

Variable Costs = $250 x 30 % = $75

New Fixed Costs = $120,000 x 90 % = $108,000

Step 2 : Break even (units)

Break even (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

                               = $108,000 ÷ ($350 - $75)

                               = 393 units

Thus, 393 units will need to be sold to breakeven

First step is to calculate the Contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource

Selling price per unit $ 1,190

Less Variable cost per unit ($850)

Contribution margin per unit (a) $ 340

Upholstery shop time required to produce one unit (b) 4hours

Contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource (a) ÷ (b) $85 per hour

($340/4 hours )

Now let calculate The additional contribution margin per hour earned by hiring the nearby company

Additional contribution margin per hour earned= $85 – $44

Additional contribution margin per hour earned= $41 per hour

Therefore The additional contribution margin per hour earned by hiring the nearby company will be $41 per hour

3. Yes . Portsmouth should hire the nearby upholstering company reason been that Portsmouth will earn an additional contribution margin of $41 per hour by hiring the nearby company

Uptown Bank provides lockbox services. They estimate that you can reduce your average mail time by 2.2 days and your combined clearing and processing time by .75 days by implementing their system. Your firm receives 65 checks a day with an average value of $298 each. The current T-Bill rate is .01 percent per day. Assume a 365-day year. The bank will charge your firm $.15 per check. What is the annual net savings from installing this system?

Answers

Answer: $1473.067

Explanation:

First, we calculate the total time that's saved by the firm when it installs the lockbox services. This will be:

= 2.2 days + 0.75 days

= 2.95 days

Then, the gross amount that the firm will save will be:

= 65 × 2.95 × 298 × 0.01%

= $5.7142 per day

Since the bank charges the firm $0.15 per check and the firm receives 65 checks per day, the total cost to the firm will then be:

= 65 × $0.15

= $9.75 per day

The net loss will then be calculated as:

= $9.75 - $5.7142

= $4.0358 per day

Then, to get that for annual, we multiply the above value by 365. This will be:

= $4.0358 × 365

= $1473.067 per annum.

Multi-Level-Marketing is a quickly growing industry in the United States. Many men and women are deciding to work from home, selling various goods to their friends and family due to the convenience and possible salary that can be made. Multi-Level-Marketing consists of a hierarchy of workers and customers and is sometimes referred to as a pyramid scheme

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Multilevel marketing is a strategy that consists of creating a hierarchy of workers for product distribution, being very common companies of beauty products, essential oils, and other products that are easy to sell. The strategy works like this: the distributors buy the products of the companies to sell to the final customer, and thus they receive a percentage for the sale of the products. But there is a criticism about this strategy, which can be a pyramid scheme, when there is a greater intention of the company to recruit new distributors than to actually sell its products, because in a pyramid scheme the intention is always to profit to benefit those who are on the top. Generally, companies that operate in an illegal pyramid scheme have strong marketing aimed at recruiting people to purchase products for sale with promises of quick enrichment.

Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon US Treasury note with four years to maturity has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note: $746,617.36 $634,624.76 $470,368.94 $895,940.83

Answers

Answer:

Asset Price= $746,617.36

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Face value= $1,000,000

Coupon= 0.03/2= 0.015*1,000,000= $15,000

Number of periods= 2*4= 8 semesters

YTM= 0.11/2= 0.055

To calculate the price of the asset, we need to use the following formula:

Asset Price​= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]

Asset Price= 15,000*{[1 - (1.055^-8) / 0.055} + [1,000,000 / (1.055^8)]

Asset Price= 95,018.49 + 651,598.87

Asset Price= $746,617.36

Answers

Answer:

6.71 years

Explanation:

we need to determine the PVIFA for 8% and 10 periods:

PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + i)n ] / i

PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.08)¹⁰ ] / 0.08 = 0.5368 / 0.08 = 6.71

The ending balance of the Work in Process Inventory account for the Fabricating Department is:

Answers

Answer: $18,280

Explanation:

Ending inventory for fabricating department = Beginning Work in Process + Direct materials + Direct labor + Factory overhead - Inventory transferred out of department

= 11,600 + 77,600 + 25,600 + (80% * 25,600) - 117,000

= 11,600 + 77,600 + 25,600 + 20,480 - 117,000

High owns 60% of Low. In 2019, Low sold inventory (cost $70,000) to High for $100,000. 40% of this inventory was not sold to third parties by High until 2020. In 2020, Low sold inventory (cost $72,000) to High for $120,000. Of this inventory, $50,000 was not sold to third parties by High until 2021. In 2020, Low reports $70,000 of net income. What is the noncontrolling interest in 2020 income of Low. $24,800 $31,200 $37,200 $46,800

Answers

Answer: $24800

Explanation:

To calculate the noncontrolling interest in 2020 income of Low goes thus:

Profit reported by Low in 2020 = $70000

Add: Profit in opening stock that isn't sold to third party = ($100,000 × 40%) × 30% = $12,000

Less Profit in Opening stock that's not sold to third party = $50000 ×40% =$20000

The Total Profit will be:

= $70000 + $12000 - $20000

= $62000

Then, the noncontrolling interest in 2020 income of Low will be:

= $62000 × 40%

= $62000 × 0.4

= $24800

You manage an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 10% and an expected standard deviation of 15%. The rate on Treasury bills (risk-free rate) is 5%. Your client chooses to invest $60,000 of her portfolio in your equity fund and $40,000 in a T-bill money market fund. The expected return and standard deviation of your client's overall portfolio is:__________ a. 11.0% and 9.0% b. 10.0% and 8.4% c. 15.0% and 9.0% d. 5.0% and 15.0%

Answers

Answer:

Portfolio Mean return = 11%

Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%

Option a is the correct answer

Explanation:

The mean return of a portfolio consisting of two securities can be calculated by multiplying the weight of each security in the portfolio by the mean return of that security and adding the products for each security. The formula for two asset or security portfolio return (mean) can be written as follows,

Portfolio Mean = wA * rA  +  wB  *  rB

Where,

w represents the weight of each security r represents the mean return of each security

The return on the equity fund = risk free rate + risk premium

The return on the equity fund = 5% + 10% = 15%

Portfolio Mean return = 60% * 15%  +  40% * 5%

Portfolio Mean return = 11%

The standard deviation is a measure of the total risk. The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of two securities, one of which is a risk free security and has zero standard deviation, can be calculated as follows,

Portfolio Stdev = Weight of risky security * Standard deviation of risky security

Portfolio Stdev = 0.6 * 0.15

Portfolio Stdev = 0.09 or 9%

Some scientists seek answers in the depths of the sea. When Georg Steinhauser wanted answers, he looked within himself. Well, he looked within his bellybutton to be exact. The Austrian chemist spent three years researching the contents of his navel and the navels of others. He has solved one of life's greatest mysteries. We now know exactly what bellybutton lint contains!Steinhauser presented his findings in the online version of the journal Medical Hypotheses. The Vienna University scientist analyzed over 500 samples to determine the exact makeup of the lint. As suspected, most of the lint was made up of cotton from clothing. The fabric pieces are not alone, though. Steinhauser found that the average bellybutton also contained pieces of dead skin, sweat, dust, and fat.Steinhauser's notes also explained how lint accumulates. Stomach hairs tend to grow in a circular pattern around the bellybutton. The hairs act like small hooks, capturing and holding contents within. Shaving stomach hair can lead to a lint-free bellybutton, but don't act too hastily. Although the contents of your navel may be a nuisance, research suggests that lint has a purpose. It is nature's way of protecting your bellybutton from germs and unwanted objects. divide 4 questions WILL MARK BRANLIEST How were the twelve tribes of Israel formed? kaylee Bryant purchased taz software that regularly sells for 74.95 but is on sale for 59.95 why is it necessary to have usernames and passwords if one is working on a network? how can I be a good person The radius of the earth is 6370 km what is the approximate circumference of the earth?
