Answer:
Due to withdrawal of the $300 from saving account. Decrease in the required reserve = 300*10% = $30. So, Change in reserve = -$30
Decrease in loans as there is no excess reserve) = $300 - $30 = $270. So, the change in loans = -$270
Decrease in deposits since it is withdrawn = $300. So, the change in deposit = -$300
Balance Sheet
Assets Liabilities
Changes in required reserve = -$30 Change in deposit = -$300
Changes in loans = -$270
Total Change = -$300 Total Change = -$300

Assume a central bank follows a rule that requires it to take steps to keep the price level constant. If the long run price level fell because of a decrease in aggregate demand and a subsequent increase in short run aggregate supply that kept output unchanged, then Question 5 options: a) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would decrease output. b) the central bank would have to increase the money supply which would decrease output. c) the central bank would have to increase the money supply which would increase output. d) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would increase output.
Answer:
a) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would decrease output.
Explanation:
In the case when the long run price would fall due to the reduction in the aggregate demand and there is a rise of short run aggregate supply so the central bank would have to reduce the money supply due to this it automatically reduced the output as it shows the direct relation between the money supply and the output
Therefore the correct option is a.

You are thinking about the things that can go wrong on your trip home over the Thanksgiving break. You have booked a flight with US-Scareways. You know that in 38% of the cases the company has canceled the flight you were on. Should such a thing occur, there would be no other air travel option home for you. As a backup, your friend Walter has offered you a ride back. However, you know that Walter only has a seat in his car for you with 72% probability. What is the probability of you making it home for the holidays?
Answer:
The probability of you making it home for the holidays is:
= 45%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Probability of Scareways flights being canceled = 38%
Probability of successfully traveling with Scareways = 62% (100 - 38%)
Probability of getting a seat in Walter's car = 72%
Therefore, the probability of making it home for the holidays = the combined probabilities (either Scareways flight or Walter's car)
= 62% * 72%
= 0.62 * 0.72
= 0.4464
= 45%
Sunland Company received proceeds of $664000 on 10-year, 6% bonds issued on January 1, 2019. The bonds had a face value of $704000, pay interest annually on December 31, and have a call price of 105. Sunland uses the straight-line method of amortization. What is the amount of interest expense Sunland will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020
Answer:
$46,240
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of interest expense Sunland will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020
Interest expense=($704,000 × .06)+[($704000-$664000)/10]
Interest expense= $42,240+($40,000/10)
Interest expense=$42,240+$4,000
Interest expense=$46,240
Therefore the amount of interest expense Sunland will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020 is $46,240
A tenant occupying 20,000 square feet in your building has two years remaining on their lease. You have a good relationship with this tenant and you assess the probability that they will renew their lease at 75%. If your tenant renews the lease, they will pay $15/sf in rent. If the tenant vacates, you expect that a new tenant will pay $18/sf. What is the gross rental income you expect to receive for this space in the year after the lease expires
Answer: $315000
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the gross rental income that one will expect to receive for this space in the year after the lease expires goes thus:
= [(75% x 15) + (25% x 18)] x 20,000
= [(0.75 × 15) + (0.25 × 18)] × 20000
= (11.25 + 4.5) × 20000
= 15.75 × 20000
= 315,000
Therefore, the gross rental income is $315000
Medical clinic office: Medical case files of deceased patients. Which transfer method? explain your decision?
Answer: Perpetual
Explanation:
It is best to use the perpetual transfer method because the medical case files on deceased patient should be transferred immediately seeing as the patient is no longer alive.
Using a periodic transfer method would mean that files are only transferred at certain times even though the patient may have been deceased for some time.
Like all companies, McDonald's needs to continue identifying, developing, and introducing new products. One recent concept McDonald's identified is a vegan burger. After assessing the concept, McDonald's research and development kitchen developed a vegan burger that they felt would be appealing to the 13% of Americans that are vegetarian or vegan. Before rolling the vegan burger out, McDonald's wanted to examine the viability in the real world, but on a limited basis. McDonald's next step should be to ________ the vegan burger.
a. test market
b. concept test
c. field exam
d. commercialize
Answer:
a. test market
Explanation:
The test market consists of a strategy used by organizations to assess how consumers will be receptive to a new product or service launched. In this step, companies select a group of consumers or a specific region with a profile aligned with the new product, to feel the reaction of the market, and then be able to distribute the product on a large scale. After defining the target audience of the test market, the companies monitor the promotion and distribution strategies, carrying out a kind of test to verify the errors and successes of the marketing campaign and the possibilities of the insertion of the new product in the mass market to be successful .
This is an advantageous strategy for companies, due to the lower cost associated with a large-scale launch, the monitoring of high risks, and the possibility of feeling the market, making corrections and checking the demand for the product.
Two years ago, you purchased 100 shares of General Mills Corporation. Your purchase price was $53 a share, plus a total commission of $34 to purchase the stock. During the last two years, you have received the following dividend amounts: $1.90 per share for the first year and $2.03 per share the second year. Also, assume that at the end of two years, you sold your General Mills stock for $59 a share minus a total commission of $41 to sell the stock.
Required:
a. Calculate the dividend yield for your General Mills stock at the time you purchased it.
b. Calculate the dividend yield for your General Mills stock at the time you sold it.
c. Calculate the total return for your General Mills investment when you sold the stock at the end of two years.
d. Calculate the annualized holding period yield for your General Mills investment at the end of the two-year period.
Answer:
Purchase Price $53 * 100 = $5300
Commission = $53
Total Cost $5353
D1 = $1.90 * 100 = 190
D2 = $2.03 * 100 = 203
Sale value of shares $59*100 $5900
Less: Commission $41
Net sale value $5859
a. Dividend yield at the time of purchase:
= D1/P0
= $1.90/$53
= 3.59%
b. Dividend yield at the time of sale:
= D2/P1
= $2.03/$41
= 4.95%
c. Total Return for 2 years = $5859 + $190 + $203 - $5353
Total Return for 2 years = $899
d. Annualized holding period yield = ($899/$5353) * 1/2
Annualized holding period yield = 0.0839716
Annualized holding period yield = 8.40%
Josiah is training users to navigate Access forms. What is the best way to advance in the form to the next field?
Enter
Shift+Tab
Ctrl+Home
End
Answer: Enter
Explanation:
If one wants to move to the next field but still in the same form on Access, one simply needs to tap the Enter button and it will move on. This is the same thing that happens in Excel when Enter is tapped.
It is probably because the forms created in Access do not allow for paragraphs so the enter key will only move you to another field instead of creating a new paragraph.

McCoy's Fish House purchases a tract of land and an existing building for $930,000. The company plans to remove the old building and construct a new restaurant on the site. In addition to the purchase price, McCoy pays closing costs, including title insurance of $2,300. The company also pays $12,600 in property taxes, which includes $8,300 of back taxes (unpaid taxes from previous years) paid by McCoy on behalf of the seller and $4,300 due for the current fiscal year after the purchase date. Shortly after closing, the company pays a contractor $46,500 to tear down the old building and remove it from the site. McCoy is able to sell salvaged materials from the old building for $3,600 and pays an additional $10,300 to level the land.
Required:
Determine the amount McCoy’s Fish House should record as the cost of the land.
Answer:
The amount McCoy’s Fish House should record as the cost of the land is $993,800.
Explanation:
The amount McCoy’s Fish House should record as the cost of the land can be determined as follows:
Total cost of the land = Purchase price + Title insurance + Property taxes which are back taxes + Cost of removing the building – Salvage value + Additional cost of leveling the land = $930,000 + $2,300 + $8,300 + $46,500 - $3,600 + $10,300 = $993,800
Therefore, the amount McCoy’s Fish House should record as the cost of the land is $993,800.

e. Profits will be shared in the proportion specified in the partnership agreement.
Answer:
e. Profits will be shared in the proportion specified in the partnership agreement.
Explanation:
Partnership agreement is the governing document of an partnership. The agreement consist of how profit will be shared and has been agreed right before the partnership contract become become binding. Thus, the fact that Juan does 70% of the work and Carl does 30% of work does not specifies nor idicate profit sharing. Also, the fact that Carl invested 60% of the money required to start the business does not specify profit sharing as well. The profit sharing agreement is in the partnership agreement.
Due to better internet job searching websites, the job finding rate increases in the recent years. In a survey studying the job finding rate in Jan 2019, 420 out of 10,000 unemployed workers report that they found jobs. In the same period of time, a similar survey studying employment status reports that 29 out of 10,000 employed workers left their jobs. What is the steady unemployment rate
Answer:
6.46%
Explanation:
Job finding rate (F) = Rate at which the unemployed people get job
Job Separation rate (S) = Rate at which the employed people loose their job
Steady state level of unemployment = Ratio of Unemployed people to the Total labor (i.e U/L)
Formulae used to calculate the steady state level of unemployment is: U/L = S / S + F
Where F = (420/10,000)*100 = 4.2%
Where S = (29/10,000)*100 = 0.29%
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / (0.29 + 4.2)
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / 4.49
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.0646
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 6.46%

The Jenkins Corporation has purchased an executive jet. The company has agreed to pay $200,000 per year for the next 10 years and an additional $1,000,000 at the end of the 10th year. The seller of the jet is charging 6% annual interest. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Determine the liability that would be recorded by Jenkins.'
Answer:
Present value of liability = $2,030,412.1871 rounded off to $2,030,412.19
Explanation:
To calculate the amount that would be recorded as a liability, we need to find the present value of the jet. The present value can be calculated by discounting the cash flows provided in the question. The 200000 cash flows that will be payable every year are in the form of an ordinary annuity and their present value will be calculated using the attached formula. The present value of 1000000 that is payable at the end of the 10th year will be calculated as follows,
Present Value of Cash flow = Cash Flow / (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the discount rate t is the time periodPresent value of liability = 200000 * [(1 - (1+0.06)^-10) / 0.06] +
1000000 / (1+0.06)^10
Present value of liability = $2,030,412.1871 rounded off to $2,030,412.19

b. Certainly, Turnover and Warner Bros. are more profitable businesses than Home Box Office in terms of total contribution margin (dollars) and contribution margin ratio.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Segment Revenues
(in millions)
Turner (cable networks and digital media) $21,700
Home Box Office (pay television) 22,200
Warner Bros. (films, television, and videos) 80,600
Assume that the variable costs as a percent of sales for each segment are as follows:
Turner 22%

1. Calculate the first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting, and the first year's net earnings under the accrual basis of accounting. 2. Which basis of accounting (cash or accrual) provides more useful information for decision-makers?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. Calculate the first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting, and the first year's net earnings under the accrual basis of accounting.
The first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting will be:
Service revenue = $23400
Less: Expenses = $14310
Net income = $9090
The first year's net earnings under the accrual basis of accounting will be:
Service revenue = $29500
Less: Expenses = $15500
Net income = $14000
2. Which basis of accounting (cash or accrual) provides more useful information for decision-makers?
It should be noted that the accrual basis of accounting gives decision makers more useful information. This is due to the fact that the decision makers will probably want to know the revenue and the expenses that were incurred for a particular period and every other necessary details.
