Group of answer choices.
a. an increase in consumer incomes
b. an increase in the price of natural gas
c. a decrease in the price of heating oil
d. a decrease in the price of natural gas
Answer:
a. an increase in consumer incomes
Explanation:
A market demand curve is used to graphically represent the quantity of goods demanded by all the buyers or consumers at different price points.
This ultimately implies that, a market demand curve can be determined by the horizontal summation of the various quantities for which, each buyer or consumer in a market is willing to pay for at different prices.
Thus, the market demand curve is downward sloping due to the fact that as the price of a product increases, the quantity demanded by the consumer decreases.
Generally, the demand for a good or service increases when consumer income increases and it decreases when the income earned by consumers fall. Thus, the demand for goods or services is directly proportional to consumer income.
Hence, a factor which would cause an increase in the demand for natural gas is an increase in consumer incomes.

Explanation:
If an asset costs $16,000, has an expected useful life of 8 years, is expected to have a $2,000 salvage value and generates net annual cash inflows of $2,000 a year, the cash payback period is:________
Answer:
It will take 7.5 years to cover the initial investment. If the company take into account the tax shield of the depreciation expense, the payback period will be lower.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $16,000
Useful life= 8 years
Salvage value= $2,000
Cash inflows= $2,000
The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment.
Year 1= 2,000 - 16,000= -14,000
Year 2= 2,000 - 14,000= -12,000
Year 3= 2,000 - 12,000= -10,000
Year 4= 2,000 - 10,000= -8,000
Year 5= 2,000 - 8,000= -6,000
Year 6= 2,000 - 8,000= -4,000
Year 7= 2,000 - 4,000= -2,000
Year 8= 4,000 - 2,000= 2,000 (Assuming the asset is sold for its salvage value)
To be more accurate:
(2,000/4,000)= 0.5
It will take 7.5 years to cover the initial investment. If the company take into account the tax shield of the depreciation expense, the payback period will be lower.
Assume that Guardian Company uses a periodic inventory system and has these account balances: Purchases $500,000; Purchase Returns and Allowances $14,000; Purchase Discounts $9,000; and Freight-in $15,000. Determine net purchases and cost of goods purchased.
Answer:
Net purchases:
= Purchases - Purchase Returns and Allowances - Purchase Discount
= 500,000 - 14,000 - 9,000
= $477,000
Cost of goods sold:
= Net purchase + Freight-in
= 477,000 + 15,000
= $492,000

A company's perpetual preferred stock currently trades at $87.50 per share, and it pays an $8.00 annual dividend. If the company were to sell a new preferred issue, it would incur a flotation cost of 5.00% of the issue price. What is the firm's cost of preferred stock?
a. 8.25%
b. 9.14%
c. 8.69%
d. 9.62%
Answer:
9.62%
Explanation:
The firm cost of preferred stock can be calculated as follows
Dividend= $8
Price= $87.50
Floation cost= 5%
= 5/100
= 0.05
= 8/87.50(1-0.05)
= 8/87.50(0.95)
= 8/83.125
= 0.0962×100
= 9.62%
Hence the firm cost of preferred stock is 9.62%
Consider the future value of $1 in 10 periods when the interest rate is 5%. When the interest rate doubles to 10%, the future value: Increases but by less than double Exactly doubles Increases by more than double Cannot be determined a
Answer: Increases but by less than double
Explanation:
The formula for future value will be calculated as:
FV = PV (1 + r )^n
When interest rate = 5%, then the future value will be:
= 1 × (1 + 5%)^10
= 1 × (1 + 0.05)^10
= 1 × (1.05)^10
= 1.63
When Interest rate is 10%, then the future value will be:
= 1 × (1 + 10%)^10
= 1 × (1 + 0.10)^10
= 1 × (1.10)^10
= 2.59
Therefore, the answer is "Increases but by less than double"
Ana is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. While Ana usually practices swimming for two hours per day, she decides to continue for an additional hour because the pool is less crowded than usual today allowing her practice time to be more productive. Which basic principle of individual choice does Valerie's plan illustrate that her husband's advice does not?
a. Resources are scarce.
b. All decisions involve opportunity costs.
c. Decisions are made at the margin.
d. People usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off.
Answer:
c. Decisions are made at the margin.
Explanation:
It is better to make a trade-off when someone compares the costs with that of the benefits of doing something. The [tex]\text{decisions about whether one must do a bit more or a bit less of an activity}[/tex] are called marginal decisions. Making the [tex]\text{trade-offs at the margin}[/tex] means comparing its costs as well as its benefits of an activity by doing it a little bit more versus doing a little bit less.
In the context, Ana is making decision at the margin when she decides to practice one hour extra and improve her swimming performance as the event of triathlon is approaching.

The net income reported on the income statement of Cutler Co. was $2,460,000. There were 50,000 shares of $18 par common stock and 20,000 shares of $5 preferred stock outstanding throughout the current year. The income statement included a gain on discontinued operations of $300,000 after applicable income tax.
a. Determine the per-share figure for common stock for income before discontinued operations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ per share
b. Determine the per-share figure for common stock for net income. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ per share
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The earning per share is
= (PAT - income tax discontinued operations - Preference dividend) ÷ number of common stock
= ($2,460,000 - $300,000 - (20,000 × $5)) ÷ (50,000 shares)
= $41.2 per share
b. The earning per share is
= (PAT - Preference dividend) ÷ number of common stock
= ($2,460,000 - (20,000 × $5)) ÷ (50,000 shares)
= $47.2 per share
Which set of items appears on the loan estimate
You’ve borrowed $21,518 on margin to buy shares in Ixnay, which is now selling at $40.6 per share. You invest 1,060 shares. Your account starts at the initial margin requirement of 50%. The maintenance margin is 35%. Two days later, the stock price changes to $38 per share. a. Will you receive a margin call?
Answer:
a. No, you will NOT receive a margin call.
b. The price at which you will receive the margin call is $31.23 per share.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as the part b of the requirement is omitted. To complete the question, the omitted part b is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
b. At what price will you receive the margin call?
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
a. Will you receive a margin call?
Margin loan = $21,518
Total amount invested = Number shares purchased * Selling price per share when purchased = 1,060 * $40.60 = $43,036
Initial equity = Total amount invested - Margin loan = $43,036 - $21,518 = $21,518
Market value of the stock two days later = Number shares purchased * Selling price per share two days later = 1,060 * $38 = $40,280
New equity = Market value of the stock two days later - Margin loan = $40,280 - $21,518 = $18,762
Percentage margin = New equity / Market value of the stock two days later = $18,762 / $40,280 = 0.4658, or 46.58%
Since your percentage margin of 46.58% is lower than the new required maintenance margin of 35%, you will NOT receive a margin call.
b. At what price will you receive the margin call?
Price to receive the margin call = (Margin loan / (100% - Maintenance margin after two days)) / Number of shares purchased = ($21,518 / (100% - 35%)) / 1,060 = $31.23
Therefore, the price at which you will receive the margin call is $31.23 per share.
Equipment acquired on January 8 at a cost of $168,000 has an estimated useful life of 18 years,
has an estimated residual value of $15,000, and is depreciated by the straight-line method.
A. What was the book value of the equipment at December 31 the end of the fourth year?
B. Assuming that the equipment was sold on April 1 of the fifth year for $125,000, journalize
the entries to record (1) depreciation for the three months until the sale date, and (2) the
sale of the equipment.
Answer:
A. $134,000
B1. Dr Depreciation expense $2,125
Cr Accumulated depreciation- equipment $2,125
B2. Dr Cash $125,000
Dr Loss on sale of equipment $6,875
Dr Accumulated depreciation- equipment $36,125
Cr Equipment $168,000
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine What was the book value of the equipment at December 31 the end of the fourth year
First step is to calculate the Annual depreciation using this formula
Annual depreciation = (Cost of machinery-Residual value)/ useful life
Let plug in the formula
Annual depreciation= (168,000-15,000)/18
Annual depreciation= $8,500
Second step is to calculate the Accumulated depreciation for 4 years using this formula
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years = Annual depreciation x 4
Let plug in the formula
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years= 8,500 x 4
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years= $34,000
Now let determine the Book value of equipment at December 31 at the end of year
Using this formula
Book value of equipment at December 31 at the end of year 4 = Cost of equipment - Accumulated depreciation for 4 years
Let plug in the formula
Book value of equipment at December 31 at the end of year = 168,000-34,000
Book value of equipment at December 31 at the end of year = $134,000
Therefore the book value of the equipment at December 31 the end of the fourth year is $134,000
B1. Preparation of the journal entries to record (1) depreciation for the three months until the sale date
Year 5, April 1
Dr Depreciation expense $2,125
Cr Accumulated depreciation- equipment $2,125
( To record depreciation expense)
Calculation for Depreciation for 3 months of year 5 using this formula
Depreciation for 3 months of year 5 = Annual depreciation x 3/12
Let plug in the formula
Depreciation for 3 months of year 5 == 8,500 x 3/12
Depreciation for 3 months of year 5 = $2,125
B2.Preparation of the journal entries to record (2) the sale of the equipment.
Year 5, April 1
Dr Cash $125,000
Dr Loss on sale of equipment $6,875
Dr Accumulated depreciation- equipment $36,125
Cr Equipment $168,000
( To record sale of the equipment)
Calculation for Accumulated depreciation at April 1, year 5 using this formula
Accumulated depreciation at April 1, year 5 = Accumulated depreciation for 4 years + Depreciation for 3 months of year 5
Let plug in the formula
Accumulated depreciation at April 1, year 5= 34,000+2,125
Accumulated depreciation at April 1, year 5= $36,125
Calculation for Book value of equipment at April 1, year 5 using this formula
Book value of equipment at April 1, year 5 = Cost of equipment - Accumulated depreciation at April 1, year 5
Let plug in the formula
Book value of equipment at April 1, year 5 = $168,000-$36,125
Book value of equipment at April 1, year 5 = $131,875
Calculation for Loss on sale of equipment using this formula
Loss on sale of equipment = Book value - Sale of equipment
Let plug in the formula
Loss on sale of equipment=$ 131,875-$125,000
Loss on sale of equipment= $6,875

B. Loss of earnings from employment
C. Payment of taxes on profits
D. Risk of business failure
ANSWER:
b) Explain why this answer is correct?
Answer: B. Loss of earnings from employment
Explanation:
The opportunity cost of choosing a course of action is the returns that you would have earned from choosing the next best action.
David was employed and yet decided to quit that job and start a business. The next best thing he could have been doing was working which means that the opportunity cost was the returns from working which was his salary.
In deciding to open up his own businesses, he had to forego the opportunity costs which meant that he lost the earnings from that his employment.
Two alternatives for a construction project are being considered. Both projects have a 5-year life. Alternative A's initial cost is $2,260 and yields $355 annually for 5 years. Alternative B initially costs $5500 and yields $1,250 annually for 5 years. The rate of return on the difference between the alternatives is approximately
Answer:
The rate of return on the difference between the alternatives is approximately 38.12%.
Explanation:
Alternative A's initial cost = $2,260
Alternative A's total yields for 5 years = $355 * 5 = $1,775
Alternative B's initial cost = $5,500
Alternative B's total yields for 5 years = $1,250 * 5 = $6,250
Difference between initial costs of A and B = Alternative B's initial cost - Alternative B's initial cost = $5,500 - $2,260 = $3,240
Difference between total yields for 5 years of A and B = Alternative B's total yields for 5 years - Alternative A's total yields for 5 years = $6,250 - $1,775 = $4,475
Rate of return on the difference between the alternatives = (Difference between total yields for 5 years of A and B - Difference between initial costs of A and B) / Difference between initial costs of A and B = ($4,475 - $3,240) / $3,240 = 0.3812, or 38.12%
Therefore, the rate of return on the difference between the alternatives is approximately 38.12%.
Consumer protection is NOT a modern idea, McKay states. Which ancient legal document talked about this concept?
Answer:
Hammurabi's Code
Explanation:
Hammurabi's Code was a Babylonian legal document that was written between 1755 - 1750 BC.
Its main focus is fairness in regards to the rule of law. Responsibilities were allocated to different parties in a legal relationship so a producer will be deterred from engaging in unfair practices when dealing with a consumer.
Hammurabi's Code is an old document that still remains relevant to modern legal practitioners.

A. 7000.
B. 9200.
C. 9000.
D. 13000.
E. 8800.
Answer:
The correct option is B. 9200.
Explanation:
This can simply be answered as follows:
[tex]F_{6} =(D_{5}*W_{5})+(D_{4}*W_{4})+(D_{3}*W_{3})[/tex] .................. (1)
Where:
[tex]F_{6}[/tex] = Weighted moving average forecast (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) for Week 6 = ?
[tex]D_{5}[/tex] = Week 5 demand = 11,000
[tex]D_{4}[/tex] = Week 4 demand = 9,000
[tex]D_{3}[/tex] = Week 3 demand = 7,000
The (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) implies that:
[tex]W_{5}[/tex] = Weight of Week 5 demand = 0.4
[tex]W_{4}[/tex] = Weight of Week 4 demand = 0.3
[tex]W_{3}[/tex] = Weight of Week 3 demand = 0.3
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
[tex]F_{6}[/tex] = (11,000 * 0.40) + (9,000 * 0.30) + (7,000 * 0.30) = 9,200
Therefore, the correct option is B. 9200.
The weighted moving average forecast for week 6 is 9,200.
The calculation for determining the weighted moving average forecast for week 6 is= (Week 5 × 0.4) + (Week 4 × 0.3) + (Week 3 × 0.3)
= (11000 × 0.4) + (9000 × 0.3) + (7000 × 0.3)
= 9200
Therefore we can conclude that the weighted moving average forecast for week 6 is 9,200.

Bunkhouse Electronics is a recently incorporated firm that makes electronic entertainment systems. Its earnings and dividends have been growing at a rate of 36.0%, and the current dividend yield is 8.00%. Its beta is 1.32, the market risk premium is 14.00%, and the risk-free rate is 2.80%.
Required:
a. Use the CAPM to estimate the firm’s cost of equity. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. Now use the constant growth model to estimate the cost of equity. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a whole percent.)
c. Which of the two estimates is more reasonable?
Answer:
a. Calculation of the firm's cost of equity using CAPM
Required rate of return (Cost of equity) = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium
Cost of equity = 2.80% + 1.32*14%
Cost of equity = 2.80% + 18.38%
Cost of equity = 21.28%
b) Calculation of the cost of equity using constant growth model:
Cost of equity = Dividend yield + Growth rate(Capital gain yield)
Cost of equity = 8.00% + 36.00%
Cost of equity = 44.00%
