Vault cash is equal to $1 million, deposits by depository institutions at the central bank are $1 million, the monetary base is $15 million, and bank deposits are $30 million. The total currency in circulation is:__________.
Answer:
The total currency in circulation is $13 million.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Total currency in circulation = Monetary base - Vault cash - Deposits by Depository institutions at the central bank ................ (1)
Where;
Total currency in circulation = ?
Monetary base = $15 million
Vault cash = $1 million
Deposits by depository institutions at the central bank = $1 million
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Total currency in circulation = $15 million - $1 million - $1 million = $13 million
Therefore, the total currency in circulation is $13 million.

Assume Peng requires a 10% return on its investments. Compute the net present value of this investment. Assume the company uses straight-line depreciation.
Answer:
1. Park Co. is considering an investment that requires immediate payment of $31,500 and provides expected cash inflows of $12,000 annually for four years. What is the investment's payback period?
payback period = $31,500 / $12,000 = 2.625 years
2. Park Co. is considering an investment that requires immediate payment of $21,530 and provides expected cash inflows of $6,500 annually for four years. If Park Co. requires a 7% return on its investments. What is the internal rate of return?
using a financial calculator, the IRR = 8%
the IRR is the discount rate that makes a project's NPV = 0
3. Peng Company is considering an investment expected to generate an average net income after taxes of $3,400 for three years. The investment costs $50,400 and has an estimated $10,200 salvage value. Assume Peng requires a 10% return on its investments. Compute the net present value of this investment. Assume the company uses straight-line depreciation.
depreciation per year = ($50,400 - $10,200) / 3 = $13,400
net cash flows:
year 0 = -$50,400cash flow year 1 = $3,400 + $13,400 = $16,800cash flow year 2 = $3,400 + $13,400 = $16,800cash flow year 3 = $3,400 + $13,400 + $10,200 = $27,000NPV = -$50,400 + $16,800/1.1 + $16,800/1.1² + $27,000/1.1³ = -$50,400 + $49,442.52 = -$957.48

Explain how the circular flow of income operates making reference to the injections and withdrawals and physical and monetary flows.
Answer:
It shows flows of goods and services and factors of production between firms and households
The circular flow shows how national income or Gross Domestic Product is calculated
Businesses produce goods and services and in the process of doing so, incomes are generated for factors of production (land, labour, capital and enterprise) – for example wages and salaries going to people in work.
Leakages (withdrawals) from the circular flow
Not all income will flow from households to businesses directly. The circular flow shows that some part of household income will be:
1.Put aside for future spending, i.e. savings (S) in banks accounts and other types of deposit
2.Paid to the government in taxation (T) e.g. income tax and national insurance
3.Spent on foreign-made goods and services, i.e. imports (M) which flow into the economy
Withdrawals are increases in savings, taxes or imports so reducing the circular flow of income and leading to a multiplied contraction of production (output)
Injections into the circular flow are additions to investment, government spending or exports so boosting the circular flow of income leading to a multiplied expansion of output.
Capital spending by firms, i.e. investment expenditure (I) e.g. on new technology
The government, i.e. government expenditure (G) e.g. on the NHS or defence
Overseas consumers buying UK goods and service, i.e. UK export expenditure (X)
An economy is in equilibrium when the rate of injections = the rate of withdrawals from the circular flow.

Building up the model
In this next series of images we build up the circular flow model from just having a domestic sector and then adding in an external sector (exports and imports) before including the financial sector which channels savings and hopefully provides the finance available to fund investment.
The Domestic Circular Flow of Income and Spending
The external sector involves businesses exporting goods and services overseas (X) and consumers and business buying imported products from other countries (M)

When leakage equals injections, the nation's economic cycle is said to be in balance.
What is economic cycle?The term "economic cycle," usually referred to as a "business cycle," describes the swings in the economy's growth and decline.
The present stage of the economic cycle can be determined using variables like gross domestic product (GDP), interest rates, total employment, and consumer expenditure.
Since the economic cycle directly affects stocks, bonds, profits, and corporate earnings, understanding it can help investors and businesses decide whether to invest and when to withdraw their funds.
An economy travels in a circular motion from expansion to recession and back again, which is referred to as an economic cycle. Growth is a sign of an expanding economy.

Zoom, Inc. makes a sale for $600. The company is required to collect sales taxes amounting to 7%. The journal entry to record the sale will include a: ___________.
a. credit to Cash for $642.
b. credit to Sales Revenue for $600.
c. debit to Cash for $600.
d. credit to Sales Revenue for $642.
e. debit to Sales Tax Payable for $42.
Answer:
b. credit to Sales Revenue for $600.
Explanation:
The sales tax is 7% of the sales price which is $600
Sales tax=7%*$600=$42
The journal entries for this transaction would have a debit of $642(sales price plus sales tax i.e $600+$42=$642) in the cash account and not credit as shown by option a.
Also, sales revenue would be credited with sales price of $600 while sales tax payable is credited with the amount of sales tax which is $42( not a debit as shown by option e)
Marginal revenue: A) is the slope of the average revenue curve. B) equals the market price in perfect competition. C) is the change in quantity divided by the change in total revenue.
Answer:
B) equals the market price in perfect competition.
Explanation:
Marginal revenue can be defined as the amount of money (revenue) generated from the sales of an additional unit of a product.
In a perfectly competitive market in long-run equilibrium, a long-run equilibrium avails firms the opportunity to adjust all inputs and all fixed costs are maximized. Also, it's characterized by free entry and exit, as such there isn't a fixed number of firms. This simply means that, since the number of firms in a long-run equilibrium can change, a firm must exit the market as a result of losses i.e when the firm is unable to cover its fixed costs in the long-run while new firms are allowed entry into the market when it anticipates potential profits or gains.
Hence, marginal revenue equals the market price in perfect competition.

During the taking of its physical inventory on December 31, Barry's Bike Shop incorrectly counted its inventory as $222,138.00 instead of the correct amount of $184,409.00. The effect on the balance sheet and income statement would be:______.
a. assets overstated by $52,094.00; retained earnings understated by $52,094.00; and net income statement understated by $52,094.00.
b. assets overstated by $223,182.00; retained earnings understated by $171,088.00; and no effect on the income statement.
c. assets, retained earnings, and net income all overstated by $52,094.00.
d. assets and retained earnings overstated by $171,088.00; and net income understated by $223,182.00.
Answer:
c. assets, retained earnings, and net income all overstated by $37,729.
Explanation:
since the ending inventory was overstated by $222,138 - $184,409 = $37,729, it means that cost of goods sold was understated by that same amount. Since COGS were less, that resulted in higher operating income and net income.
Merchandise inventory will be overstated by $37,729 (current asset), while retained earnings will also be overstated by $37,729 since net income increases retained earnings.
Mary's team is located in different countries. Because of the time zone differences, it is difficult for the team to meet all together so their meetings are conducted ________.
Answer:
Asynchronously
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the meeting would be conducted asynchronously due to the different time zone in each team member's country. What this means that the meeting will not be taken place at the same time or in a real time due to the differences in time zones.

If a company invests in production improvement option D that will boost labor productivity by 50%, while its annual depreciation costs will rise by an amount equal to 10% of the investment costs associated with installing option D, it is accurate to say that its labor costs per pair produced will decline
Answer: from $8.00 per pair to $5.33 for a production facility in North America that currently has labor productivity of 5000 pairs per worker and total regular compensation (which does not include overtime pay) of $40,000 annually.
Explanation:
Since we have been informed that the labor productivity be boosted by 50%, since the production facility in North America currently has labor productivity of 5000, then the new labor productivity will be:
= 5000 (1 + 50%)
= 5000 (1 + 0.5)
= 5000 (1.5)
= 7500
Also, since total regular compensation was given s $40,000 annually, the labor cost will then be:
= 40,000 / 7500
= $5.33

If you are falling behind on your student loan payments, which of the following steps should you take to avoid default?
Answer:
These are the answer choices for the question:
A. Transfer your balance to a credit card
B. File for bankruptcy
C. Contact your lender
D. You cannot default on student loans
And this is the correct answer:
C. Contact your lender
Explanation:
If you are about to default on your student loans, the best alternative you have is to contact your lender in order to renegotiate the terms of the loan. This is because you cannot default on student's loan, so filing for bankruptcy is not an option, and transferring the debt to a credit card is not a good idea because credit card debt usually has higher interest.
Rentarama is considering a 4:1 stock split. The stock current trades as $150 a share. Using the pre-split number of shares outstanding, the CFO has estimated the total dividend for the next year will be $6.40 per share. Assuming the stock split is implemented immediately, shareholders should expect the quarterly dividend to be closest to:__________.
A) $0.40
B) $1.60
C) $6.40
Answer:
A) $0.40
Explanation:
Stock split implies that a single share is divided into multiples which means that 4:1 stock split means that after the stock a single share prior to the stock split is divided into 4.
Total dividend per share expected next year=$6.40
Now that a single share now commands 4
Revised dividend per share expected next year=$6.40*1/4=$1.60(annual dividend)
quarterly revised per share dividend expected in the coming year=$1.60/4=$0.40

You sold one corn future contract at $2.29 per bushel. What would be your profit (loss) at maturity if the corn spot price at that time were $2.10 per bushel? Assume the contract size is 5,000 bushels and there are no transactions costs.
A) $950 profit.
B) $95 profit.
C) $950 loss.
D) $95 loss.
E) None of the options are correct.
Answer:
A) $950 profit.
Explanation:
the spot price is $2.10, but you are selling at $2.29. This means that you are making a $2.29 - $2.10 = $0.19 profit per bushel. Since the contract is for 5,000 bushels, then your total profit = 5,000 bushels x $0.19 per bushel = $950
on the other hand, if you had purchased the futures contract, you would have lost the $950.
On January 2, 2017, Hannah Company sold a machine for $1,000 that it had used for several years. The machine cost $12,000, and had accumulated depreciation of $8,000 at the time of sale. What gain or loss will be reported on the income statement for the sale of the machine?
Answer:
Loss= -$3,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $1,000
Purchase price= $12,000
Accumulated depreciation= $8,000
First, we need to calculate the book value:
Book value= 12,000 - 8,000= $4,000
If the book value is higher than the selling price, the company loses from the sale:
Gain/loss= selling price - book value
Gain/loss= 1,000 - 4,000
Loss= -$3,000
