Explanation:
A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is, loosely speaking, like a credit card for your home. You can borrow money by drawing down on the line of credit. But, because the borrowed money is for the purpose of your home, the interest is tax-deductible meaning that you can deduct the interest paid on this money from your income to reduce your taxes. If the current annual interest rate on a HELOC is 3.85\%3.85% and your tax rate is 32\2%, what is the after-tax interest rate you will pay on any borrowings under the HELOC
Answer:
2.618%
Explanation:
Current annual interest rate on a HELOC = 3.85%
Tax rate = 32%
After-tax interest rate = Before tax interest rate * (1 - Tax rate)
After-tax interest rate = 3.85% * (1 - 0.32)
After-tax interest rate = 0.0385 * 0.68
After-tax interest rate = 0.02618
After-tax interest rate = 2.618%
So, the after-tax interest rate you will pay on any borrowings under the HELOC is 2.618%.

One day, Barry the Barber, Inc., collects $400 for haircuts. Over this day, his equipment depreciates in value by $50. Of the remaining $350, Barry sends $30 to the government in sales taxes, takes home $220 in wages, and retains $100 in his business to add new equipment in the future. From the $220 that Barry takes home, he pays $70 in income taxes.
a. gross domestic product
b. net national product
c. national income
d. personal income
e. disposable personal income
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. gross domestic product
The GDP is $400 which is the money that Barry collects for haircut.
b. net national product
Net National Product:
= GDP – Depriciation
= $400 - $50
= $350
c. national income
The national income is the total income that the residents of the country earns and this will be same as Net National Product which is $350
d. personal income
Personal income:
= National income – Retained earnings
= $350 - $100 - $30
= $220
e. disposable personal income
Disposable personal income:
= Personal income – Personal tax
= $220 - $70
= $150

Two of Interpret Inc's products, QI and VH, emerge from a joint process. Product QI has been allocated $15,300 of the total joint costs of $36,000. A total of 2,200 units of product QI are produced from the joint process. Product QI can be sold at the split-off point for $10 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $10,200 and then sold for $12 per unit. If product QI is processed further and sold, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company compared with sale in its unprocessed form directly after the split-off point
Answer:
($5,800)
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company
Product QI
Sales value after further processing $26,400
($12 × 2,200)
Less Costs of further processing ($10,200)
Benefit of further processing $16,200

Therefore what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company is ($5,800)
To increase productive capacity, a company is considering a proposed new plant. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. When estimating the project's operating cash flows, it is important to include both opportunity costs and sunk costs, but the firm should ignore the cash flow effects of externalities since they are accounted for in the discounting process. b. Since depreciation is a non-cash expense, the firm does not need to deal with depreciation when calculating the operating cash flows. c. The cost of capital used to discount cash flows in a capital budgeting analysis should be calculated on a before-tax basis. d. Capital budgeting decisions should be based on before-tax cash flows. e. In calculating the project's operating cash flows, the firm should not deduct financing costs such as interest expense, because financing costs are accounted for by discounting at the cost of capital. If interest were deducted when estimating cash flows, this would, in effect, "double count" it.
Answer:
e. In calculating the project's operating cash flows, the firm should not deduct financing costs such as interest expense, because financing costs are accounted for by discounting at the cost of capital. If interest were deducted when estimating cash flows, this would, in effect, "double count" it.
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is a calculation that takes into consideration all cost associated with capital obtained to finance a company.
This also includes cost such as interest expense.
In the given scenario when calculating the project's operating cash flow it is important to exclude such financing costs since they have been considered in the WACC calculation.
It will be a double deduction if it is considered again in operating cash flow calculation.

Answer:
1.$20 per hour
2. Processing accounts $4 per account
Issuing statements $2 per statement
Processing transactions $1 per transaction
Answering inquiries $3 per inquiry
$40,000
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the capacity cost rate for the checking account process
Using this formula
Capacity cost rate= Total resources / Total checking processing hours
Let plug in the formula
Capacity cost rate= $400,000 / 20,000
Capacity cost rate= $20 per hour
Therefore the capacity cost rate for the checking account process is $20 per hour
2. Calculation to determine the activity rates for the four activities.
Processing accounts= 0.20 × $20
Processing accounts= $4 per account
Issuing statements= 0.10 × $20
Issuing statements= $2 per statement
Processing transactions= 0.05 × $20
Processing transactions= $1 per transaction
Answering inquiries= 0.15 × $20
Answering inquiries= $3 per inquiry
Therefore the activity rates for the four activities are:
Processing accounts $4 per account
Issuing statements $2 per statement
Processing transactions $1 per transaction
Answering inquiries $3 per inquiry
Calculation to determine the cost of the issuing statements activity If the total of issuing statement was 20,000
Using this formula
Cost of the issuing statements activity= Issuing statements*Total of issuing statement
Cost of the issuing statements activity
Let plug in the formula
Cost of the issuing statements activity= 20,000 × $2
Cost of the issuing statements activity= $40,000
Therefore the cost of the issuing statements activity is $40,000

how personality affect on performance of company
Personality affects all aspects of a person's performance, even how he reacts to situations on the job. This can lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction, helping your business function more efficiently.
Answer:
Personality affects all aspects of a person's performance, even how he reacts to situations on the job. Not every personality is suited for every job position, so it's important to recognize personality traits and pair employees with the duties that fit their personalities the best. This can lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction, helping your organization to function more efficiently. Personality can be seen as the motor which drives behavior. It's consistent over time and across situations, and has been proven to predict our success at work over the course of 50 or more years. The most widely accepted model of personality-the 'Big Five' model-uses five distinct scales to describe personality: conscientiousness (the extent to which one is dependable and persistent), emotional stability(one's calmness and self-control), extraversion (a measure of sociability, ambition and narcissism), agreeableness (the extent to which one is cooperative and altruistic), and openness to experience (a measure of creativity and novelty-seeking) Personality Personality is so widely studied concept by the psychologists that "personality psychology" is taken as a separate discipline of psychology.
A firm has the following account balances for this year. Sales for the year are $500,000. Projected sales for next year are $545,000. The percentage of sales approach is used for pro forma purposes. All balance sheet accounts, except long-term debt and common stock, change according to that approach. The firm plans to decrease the long-term debt balance by $5,000 next year. Retained earnings is expected to increase by $3,500 next year. What is the projected external financing need?
a) $10,520
b) $14,720
c) $18,520
d) $20,720
e) $25,620
Answer:
b) $14,720
Explanation:
Note: The missing words are attached below for understanding
Determining the increase in the sales:
Percentage increase in sales = (New sales - Old sales) / Old sales
= ($545,000 - $500,000) / $500,000
= 9%
Determining the new balances of assets and liabilities:
Current assets = $48,000*109% = $52,320
Fixed assets = 158000*109% = $172,220
Total assets = $52,320 + $172,220 = $224,540
Financed by:
The current liabilities = $48000*109% = $52,320
Long-term debt = $83,000 - $5,000 = $78,000
Common stock = $36,000
Retained earnings = $40,000 + $3,500 = $43,500
Total liabilities & the equity = $52,320 + $78,000 + $36,000 + $43,500 = $209,820
External financing needed = Total assets - Total liabilities and equity
External financing needed = $224,540 - $209,820
External financing needed = $14,720

Answer:
Direct material price variance= $520 favorable
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2 - 1.9)*5,200
Direct material price variance= $520 favorable
Actual price= 9,880 / 5,200= $1.9

Understanding that unemployment benefits give workers the incentive to not look for work until their benefits run out, suppose an economist suggested that instead of giving workers up to 26 weeks of unemployment benefits that end once the person finds work, a person who loses his or her job would just get a single big check for 26 weeks of benefits, regardless of how long the worker is unemployed. Which of the following are true?
1. It is likely to reduce unemployment by increasing the incentives to look for work earlier.
2. It would be costly.
3. It would reduce the incentive to work.
4. It would have to be combined with skill training.
Answer:
1. It is likely to reduce unemployment by increasing the incentives to look for work earlier.
2. It would be costly.
Explanation:
A worker who had received the benefits of unemployment has now added incentive for looking in to work earlier. But the cost will increase since the incentive provided for the entire period of the 52 weeks which is not limited to the period of how long the person took to get employment again.
So it is most likely to decrease the unemployment by an increase in the incentive to look for work again. And it this would also increased the cost.
Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium Suppose Lorenzo and Neha are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Lorenzo chooses Right and Neha chooses Right, Lorenzo will receive a payoff of 6 and Neha will receive a payoff of 5
Neha
Left Right
Lorenzo Left 8,4 4,5
Right 5,4 6,5
1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for (Neha/Lorenzo) to choose (Right/Left)
2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses (Right/Left) and Neha chooses (Right/Left) .
Answer:
1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for Neha to choose Right.
2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses Right and Neha chooses Right.
Explanation:
A dominant strategy is a strategy that results in a player being better off no matter the choice his or her opponent in a game.
For this game, when Lorenzo plays Left, Neha will choose Right because 5 > 4. Also, when Lorenzo plays Right, Neha will still choose Right because 5 > 4. This shows that Neha will always play Right no matter what Lorenzo plays. This implies the dominant strategy for Neha is Right.
On the other hand, when Neha plays Left, Lorenzo will also play Left because 8 > 5. But when Neha plays Right, Lorenzo will choose will also play Right because 6 > 4. This shows that Lorenzo does not have any particular strategy that make him better off. Therefore, Lorenzo does not have a dominant strategy.
Therefore, we have:
1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for (Neha/Lorenzo) to choose (Right/Left)
Based on the analysis above, the only dominant strategy in this game is for Neha to choose Right.
This is because the dominant strategy for Neha is Right, but Lorenzo does not have a dominant strategy.
2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses (Right/Left) and Neha chooses (Right/Left) .
Based on the analysis above, the outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses Right and Neha chooses Right.
The reason is that Neha will always play Right and Lorenzo will be better of by also playing Right because 6 > 4.
In October, Pine Company reports 18,200 actual direct labor hours, and it incurs $217,000 of manufacturing overhead costs. Standard hours allowed for the work done is 21,700 hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $10.15 per direct labor hour. In addition, the flexible manufacturing overhead budget shows that budgeted costs are $8.45 variable per direct labor hour and $43,100 fixed.
Required:
Compute the overhead controllable variance.
Answer:
$7,295 ( favourable)
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Actual direct labor hours = 18,200
Manufacturing OH cost = $217,000
Standard hours allowed = 21,700
Budgeted cost = $8.45
Budgeted fixed cost = $43,100
So, we can calculate overhead controllable variance by using following formula,
Overhead controllable variance = Budgeted OH (actual ) - Actual manufacturing Overhead
Where, Budgeted OH (actual ) = (21,700 × $8.35) + $43,100 = $224,295
By putting the value in the formula, we get
Overhead controllable variance = $224,295 - $217,000
= $7,295 ( favourable)

At the beginning of 2020, Concord Company acquired a mine for $3,251,600. Of this amount, $124,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 12,100,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Concord incurred $210,800 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $49,600. During 2020, 2,634,000 units of ore were extracted and 1,894,000 of these units were sold.
Required:
a. Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
b. Compute the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.
Answer:
A. $737,520
B. $530,320
Explanation:
a. Computation for the total amount of depletion for 2020.
First step is to calculate the Depletion Rate
Depletion Rate = ($3,251,600 - $124,000 + $49,600 + $210,800)/12,100,000
Depletion Rate= $3,388,000/ 12,100,000
Depletion Rate= 0.28
Now let calculate the total amount of depletion for 2020.
2020 Total amount of depletion= 0.28 × $2,634,000
2020 Total amount of depletion= $737,520
Therefore the total amount of depletion for 2020 is $737,520
B. Computation for the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.
Expense amount charged= ($737,520/$2,634,000)* 1,894,000
Expense amount charged=0.28 *1,894,000
Expense amount charged=$530,320
Therefore the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020 is $530,320

Average monthly production units = 45,000 (540,000/12)
Manufacturing costs per unit:
Direct materials $ 14
Direct labor 15
Variable manufacturing overhead 16
Fixed manufacturing overhead 3
Total yearly fixed overhead = $1,620,000 (540,000 * $3)
Monthly fixed overhead = $135,000 ($1,620,000/12)
b) A flexible budget has varying activity levels from one period to the next. One interesting feature of the flexible budget is that the variable costs are fixed per unit, but their totals vary with the volume levels. On the other hand, the fixed costs remain static in totals but vary per unit.
