You are 20 years old and have completed your BBA and want to pursue further education but you don’t want to take money from your father. Your plan is to start working and earn enough money so that you can finance your degree on your own and get yourself enrolled in five years’ time. You estimate that the annual cost of doing an MBA 5 years from today will be PKR 400,000 and the program will be two years long. You will need the money at the beginning your program so that you are not worried about how to clear your dues during your studies. Luckily you go for a job interview and they hire you and you start working at a salary of PKR 25,000. So you decide that 50% you will deposit in a saving account at a 10% rate with monthly compounding for your further studies and the remaining amount you will use for your daily expenses.
1. Will you be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate?
2. What percentage of your salary should you save if you want to have exactly your university expenses amount?
3. How would your answer to part 1 change if the saving account rate changed to 5%?Comment on your answer.
4. If you are given an option to invest at the 10% saving rate with monthly compounding or 10.5% semiannual compounding, which would you chose? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Will you be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate?

yes, you will even have some spare money

annual cost of MBA = 400,000 x 2 years = 800,000

monthly salary = 25,000 and you will deposit 12,500

ordinary annuity, 0.8333%, 59 periods (5 years - 1 month) = 75.80535

the future value of your account = 12,500 x 75.80535 = 947,566.88 which is more than the cost of the MBA

2. What percentage of your salary should you save if you want to have exactly your university expenses amount?

42.2138%

800,000 / 75.80535 = 10,553.34

10,553.34 / 25,000 = 0.422138 = 42.2138%

3. How would your answer to part 1 change if the saving account rate changed to 5%?

actually you still have more money than what you need even if the interest rate falls to 5%, so you can still take your MBA

monthly salary = 25,000 and you will deposit 12,500

ordinary annuity, 0.41666%, 59 periods (5 years - 1 month) = 66.72805

the future value of your account = 12,500 x 66.72805 = 834,100.63 which is more than the cost of the MBA

4. If you are given an option to invest at the 10% saving rate with monthly compounding or 10.5% semiannual compounding, which would you chose?

I would choose the 10.5% semiannual compounding because the effective interest rate is higher.

the effective interest rate of investing at 10% compounded monthly = (1 + 10%/12)¹² - 1 = 10.47%

the effective interest rate of investing at 10.5% compounded semiannually = (1 + 10.5%/2)² - 1 = 10.77%

Closing balance of Equity = Opening Balance + Retained earnings

Retained earnings = Net Income - dividends

Formula above shows that equity changes as a result of Retained earnings which is the net of Net Income and Dividends.

Change in equity will be = Net Income - Dividends

= (100,000 - 89,500) - 24,000

Answers

Answer: B) guaranteeing product quality.

Explanation: After products might have been manufacturing and processing might have been fully completed, finished goods will have to be concealed in an enclosed brand in other to afford the product a certain level of protection, easy handling and convenience to carry around. However, product packaging often goes beyond giving product protection, it is used by manufacturers to appeal and seduce customers to a certain degree in to buying their product over its rivals. Hence, good packaging adds value to a product. However, it is worthy of noting that product packaging does not determine the quality or effectiveness of the product being sold as this depends on the type of material and effort put in during production.

The following transactions occurred during July: Received $970 cash for services provided to a customer during July. Received $3,400 cash investment from Bob Johnson, the owner of the business. Received $820 from a customer in partial payment of his account receivable which arose from sales in June. Provided services to a customer on credit, $445. Borrowed $6,700 from the bank by signing a promissory note. Received $1,320 cash from a customer for services to be performed next year. What was the amount of revenue for July

Answers

Answer: $1,415

Explanation:

Going by the Accrual principle in Accounting, the revenue to be recognized has to be for services rendered in the period of interest regardless of it is in cash or on account.

The revenue transactions for the month of July therefore will be for only services rendered in July.

Those include;

Received $970 cash for services provided to a customer during July.Provided services to a customer on credit, $445

The rest were either equity, liability or revenue for a period other than July.

Revenue for July is therefore;

= 970 + 445

= $1,415

Suppose the most you would be willing to pay to have a freshly washed car before going out on a date is $4.00. The smallest amount for which you would be willing to wash someone else's car is $2.50. You are going out this evening and your car is dirty. How much economic surplus would you receive from washing it

Answers

Answer:

Economic surplus is $1.5

Explanation:

Economic surplus considers two components. The consumer surplus and the producer surplus.

Consumer surplus is difference between what a consumer is willing to pay and the market price of a good.

Producer surplus is the difference between the market price of a good and the minimum amount seller is willing to recieve for the product.

In this instance economic surplus combines the benefits that a producer and supplier gets from the product.

Consumer surplus is $4 and the producer surplus is $2.50

So if one decides to wash the car the comic surplus will be 4 - 2.50 = $1.5

Answer: $1.50

Explanation:

The economic surplus is the benefit that a person receives over what they view as the cost of the transaction.

Here you believe the car wash is worth $4.00 yet you believe the cost would be $2.50 if you did it yourself.

The surplus you are gaining therefore is;

= 4 - 2.50

= $1.50

In January, Stripe, Inc. purchased 50 shares of its own $10 par value common stock for $20 per share. In March, Stripe sold 10 shares at $25 per share. The journal entry to record the sale of treasury stock using the cost method would include a (debit/credit) Blank 1 of 2 to Treasury Stock in the amount of $ Blank 2 of 2.

Answers

Answer: credit; $200

Explanation:

The journal entry to record the sale of treasury stock using the cost method would include a credit to Treasury Stock in the amount of $200.

Using the cost method, the journal entry should reflect the sale of the stock at the original price it was purchased at ( its cost). With the original cost of purchase being $20, the 10 shares that were sold will be recorded as;

= 10 shares * $20

= $200

This will be credited to the Treasury account and along with the additional amount made on the sale, debited to the cash account to reflect a cash increase.

Answers

Answer:

$44,320

Explanation:

The below will be used to calculate the ending long term debt.

Ending long-term debt = Beginning long-term debt + New long-term debt - Repaid a long-term loan

Multiple Choice 1.59 times 2.08 times 2.18 times 1.02 times .53 times

Answers

Answer:

1.59 times

Explanation:

Average total assets = Beginning total assets + Ending Total assets / 2

Average total assets = 6,470 + 6,705 / 2

Average total assets =  $6,587.5

Beginning Total equity = Common stock + Retained earnings

Beginning Total equity =  $3,240 + $3,080

Beginning Total equity = $6,320

Ending Total equity = Common stock + Retained earnings

Ending Total equity= $880 + $1,130  

Ending Total equity = $2,010

Average total equity = Beginning Total equity + Ending Total equity / 2

Average total equity = $6,320 + $2,010 / 2

Average total equity = $4,165

Equity multiplier for 2017 =  Average total assets / Average total equity

Equity multiplier for 2017 = $6,587.5 / $4,165  

Equity multiplier for 2017 =  1.581632653061224

Equity multiplier for 2017 =  1.5816 times

(2) Gross profit rate. 6. Payout ratio.
(3) Asset turnover. 7. Debt to assets ratio.
(4) Earnings per share.

Answers

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

1. Profit margin = Net profit / Net sales

2016 - Profit margin

=  (70,000 / 570,000) * 100

= 12.28%

2017 - Profit margin

= (95,000 / 700,000) * 100

= 13.57

2. Gross profit rate = Gross profit / Net sales

2016 - Gross profit rate

= (220,000 / 570,000) * 100

= 38.60%

2017 - Gross profit rate

= (275,000 / 700,000) * 100

= 39.29%

3. Asset turnover = Net sales / Average total assets

2016 - Asset turnover

= (570,000 / [(600,000 + 533,000) / 2 ]

= 570,000 / 566,500

= 1.01 times

2017 - Asset turnover

= (700,000 / [(725,000 + 600,000) / 2 ]

= 700,000 / 662,500

= 1.06 times

4. Earnings per share = Net income / Outstanding shares

2016 - Earnings per share

= 70,000 / (310,000/10)

= 70,000 / 31,000

= $2.26 per share

2017 - Earnings per share

= 95,000/ (320,000/10)

= 95,000 / 32,000

= $2.97 per share.

5. Price earnings ratio = Market value per share / EPS

2016 - price earnings ratio

= 7.50 /2.26

= 3.32 times

2017 - price earnings ratio

= 8.50/2.97

= 2.86 times

6. Payout ratio = Dividend per share / Net income or earnings per share × 100

2016 - payout ratio

=

The Kapalua Bay Hotel in Maui, Hawaii, has accumulated records of the total electrical costs of the hotel and the number of occupancy-days over the last year. An occupancy-day represents a room rented out for one day. The hotel's business is highly seasonal, with peaks occurring during the ski season and in the summer. Month Occupancy- Days Electrical Costs January 3,560 $ 6,573 February 3,420 $ 6,209 March 4,120 $ 7,022 April 1,990 $ 5,174 May 430 $ 1,118 June 1,750 $ 4,550 July 3,690 $ 6,687 August 3,970 $ 6,968 September 1,950 $ 5,070 October 1,450 $ 3,770 November 2,050 $ 5,330 December 2,300 $ 5,980 Required: 1. Using the high-low method, estimate the fixed cost of electricity per month and the variable cost of electricity per occupancy-day. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your Variable cost answer to 2 decimal places and Fixed cost element answer to nearest whole dollar amount) 2. What other factors other than occupancy-days are likely to affect the variation in electrical costs from month to month

Answers

Answer:

1) variable electrical cost per occupancy day = $1.60

monthly fixed electrical cost = $430

2) Whether it is too hot (and theoretically if it was too cold also, but its Hawaii). If its too hot, more people will use air conditioners to cool the rooms.

Explanation:

Month Occupancy- Days Electrical Costs

January 3,560 $ 6,573

February 3,420 $ 6,209

March 4,120 $ 7,022  (highest level)

April 1,990 $ 5,174

May 430 $ 1,118  (lowest level)

June 1,750 $ 4,550

July 3,690 $ 6,687

August 3,970 $ 6,968

September 1,950 $ 5,070

October 1,450 $ 3,770

November 2,050 $ 5,330

December 2,300 $ 5,980

variable costs = ($7,022 - $1,118) / (4,120 - 430) = $5,904 / 3,690 = $1.60

fixed cost = $7,022 - (4,120 x $1.60) = $430

Alice, Amber, and Andi make and sell pottery. Alice is willing to sell a 5 inch pot for $25 , Amber is willing to sell a 5 inch pot for $28 , and Andi is willing to sell a 5 inch pot for $52 . If each of the ladies is able to sell one 5 inch pot for $55 , what is their combined producer surplus

Answers

Answer: $60

Explanation:

Producer surplus is simply the difference between the price a producer or seller is willing to accept for a particular good or service and how much the seller eventually sells the product at the market price.

In this scenario, the combined producer surplus will be the addition of the producer surplus of Alice, Amber and Andi. This will be:

= (55 - 25) + (55 - 28) + (55 - 52)

= 30 + 27 + 3

= $ 60

The percent change in multifactor productivity if Fok can reduce the energy bill by ​$1,000 per day without cutting production or changing any other inputs​

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "2.45%".

Explanation:

The answer of option c:

Reduce power by 950 dollars:

In this question it will need to once again take the latest energy cost for analytical hierarchical productivity.  

→ Total Input  [tex]= 400 \times 12+21000 \times 1 +(5000-950)+10000[/tex]

                     [tex]= 4800 +21000 + (4050)+10000 \\\\ = 25800+4050+10000 \\\\ = 39850\\[/tex]

Consumer rates  [tex]= \frac{1,000}{39,850}[/tex]

                            [tex]=0.0250[/tex]

Initial efficiency multi-factor= 0.0245

[tex]\to \text{percentage changes} = \frac{\text{New Multi Factor Productivity - Previous Multi-Factor Productivity}}{\text{Originbal Multi-Factor Productivity}}[/tex]  

                                   [tex]= \frac{(0.02450.0251)}{0.0245}\\\\ = 2.45 \ \ \%[/tex]

9.20% is the percent change in multifactor productivity if Fok can reduce the electricity bill by ​$1,000 per day without cut down production or changing any other inputs​.

Computation of percentage change:

According to the question,

Reduce power by $950,

For analytical hierarchical productivity, we need to calculate the latest energy.

Total New Input(TNI):

Summation of all the inputs:

[tex]\text{TNI}= 400\times12+\$21,000\times1+(\$5,000-950)+\$10,000\\\\\text{TNI}=\$4,800+\$21,000+\$4,050+\$10.000.\\\\\text{TNI}=\$25,800+\$4,050+\$10,000.\\\\\text{TNI}=\$39,850.[/tex]

[tex]\text{Consumer Rates}=\dfrac{\text{Energy bill per day}}{\text{TNI} }.\\\\\text{Consumer Rates}=\dfrac{1,000}{39,850}.\\\\\text{Consumer Rates}=0.0250.[/tex]

Initial efficiency factor: 0.0245 (as per question)

[tex]\text{Percentage changes}=\dfrac{\text{New multifactor productivity-Previous multifactor productivity}}{\text{Original multifactor productivity}}\\\\\text{Percentage changes}=\dfrac{0.2450-0.0194}{2.45}.\\\\\text{Percentage changes}=9.20\%.[/tex]

Hence, 9.20% is the percent change.
