Answer:
False
Explanation:
An assumption in the economic production lot size model is that there is storage capacity to hold the entire production lot. The statement is False.
What is the lot size model?The traditional economic production lot size (EPL) model makes the assumption that the production rate will always be consistent, rigidly regulated, and of perfect excellence.
On the basis of the requirements and preferences for the order and delivery of products and services, you utilize lot size planning to designate which demand amounts are to be made accessible in which buckets.
The economic order quantity model is generalized to account for the fact that demand for goods changes over time by using the lot-size model in inventory theory.
Therefore, the statement is False.

if you put up $50,000 today in exchange for a 6.75 percent, 14 year annuity, what will the annual cash flow be?
Answer:
The annual cash flow is $5631.832765 rounded off to $5631.83
Explanation:
An annuity is a series of cash flows which are of constant amount, occur after equal intervals of time and are for a limited of defined period of time. The present value of an annuity can be calculated using the following formula,
PV = Cash flow * [ (1 - (1+r)^-n) / r ]
Where,
Cash flow is the constant annuity payment per periodr is the required rate of returnn is the number of periodsAs the annuity is taken in exchange of $50000 today, we can say that the present value of annuity is $50000. Thus, to calculate the cash flow or annuity payment per period, we can input the available values of all the variables in the formula above.
Let the annual annuity payment or cash flow be x.
50000 = x * [ (1 - (1+0.0675)^-14) / 0.0675 ]
50000 / [ (1 - (1+0.0675)^-14) / 0.0675 ] = x
x = $5631.832765 rounded off to $5631.83

Answer:
Prepaid expenses result in deferred tax assets (DTAs) which means that they will be used to lower the company's future tax liabilities.
Accrued revenues can also lead to DTAs, e.g. the company recognizes revenue before they are paid. But if the company instead defers the recognition of revenue, it will result in a deferred tax liability (DTL). E.g. some companies recognize revenue only after they have been paid.
Return on Assets is a valuable financial measurement because it indicates how profit margin, asset turnover, and the equity multiplier affect a companies return.True or False?
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Return on assets (ROA) is she valuable measure in assessing the effectiveness of company management in utilizing company capital. It is calculated
ROA=
Total Assets/
Net Income

A medical clinic dispenses vaccines at a steady rate of 520 doses per month. Each order placed to the vaccine manufacturer incurs a fixed cost of $140. Each vaccine dose held in inventory incurs a holding cost of $3 per year.Required:a. Using the EOQ model, calculate the optimal order quantity, images , and the optimal average cost per year, images.b. Suppose that the fixed cost K increases. Will images increase, decrease, or stay the same? Briefly explain
Answer:
a) EOQ = 763 vaccines
annual total cost = $2,289.45
b) if order cost increase, then the EOQ will also increase since the total number of orders placed should decrease in order to keep total costs as low as possible.
Explanation:
EOQ = √(2SD / H)
s = order cost = 140
h= holding cost per unit = 3
d = annual demand = 520 x 12 = 6,240
EOQ = √[(2 x 140 x 6,240) / 3] = 763.15 ≈ 763
annual total cost = [(6,240 / 763) x $140] + [(763 / 2) x $3] = $1,144.95 + $1,144.50 = $2,289.45
if K (I believe K = S) increases to lets says $200:
EOQ = √[(2 x 200 x 6,240) / 3] = 912 units
annual total cost = [(6,240 / 912) x $200] + [(912 / 2) x $3] = $1,368.42 + $1,368 = $2,736.42
if we used EOQ = 763, then:
annual total cost = [(6,240 / 763) x $200] + [(763 / 2) x $3] = $1,635.65 + $1,144.50 = $2,780.15
After a papercut, activated platelets release chemical signals to activate more platelets. In this example, the chemical signal is the of a feedback loop.
a. Set point
b. Effector
c. Receptor
d. Metabolism
Answer:
a. Set point
Explanation:
Homeostasis is the maintenance of internal body environment within a given range.
The set point is the range around which normal body environment should be. For example the set point for body temperature is 37°C. The body works to maintain temperatures around this value.
When a stimulus happens the sensory organs sends the final to the control center.
The control centre ascertains if condition is around the set point.
It then sends signals to the effector to restore balance.
So when platelets release chemical signals to activate more platelets, it is a set point feedback loop trying to restore normal conditions.

Lochmere Corporation is evaluating a taxable bond at 7% and a municipal bond at 5.75%. What is the break-even tax rate?
Answer:
18%
Explanation:
Lochemere is evaluating a taxable bond at 7%
= 7/100
= 0.07
The municipal bond is 5.75%
= 5.75/100
= 0.0575
Therefore the break even tax rate can be calculated as follows
Municipal bond = taxable bond × (1-tax rate)
0.0575= 0.07 × (1-t)
0.0575= 0.07(1-t)
1-t= 0.0575/0.07
1-t = 0.82
t= 1-0.82
t= 0.18×100
t= 18%
Hence the break-even tax rate is 18%
You deposited $5,000 from a late uncle on your 9th birthday.
A) If you earned 10.5% interest each year, how much would you have when you turn 65?
B) If you earned 10.5% interest compounded monthly each year, how much would you have when you turn 65?
C) If you wanted to have $2 million when you turn 65, what rate of interest would you need to earn assuming annual compounding?
Answer:
A) If you earned 10.5% interest each year, how much would you have when you turn 65?
assuming annual compounding:
future value = $5,000 x (1 + 10.5%)⁵⁶ = $1,340,471.47
B) If you earned 10.5% interest compounded monthly each year, how much would you have when you turn 65?
monthly compounding = 10.5% / 12 = 0.875% per month
future value = $5,000 x (1 + 0.875%)⁶⁷² = $1,743,869.89
C) If you wanted to have $2 million when you turn 65, what rate of interest would you need to earn assuming annual compounding?
$2,000,000 = $5,000 x (1 + r)⁵⁶
(1 + r)⁵⁶ = $2,000,000 / $5,000 = 400
(1 + r)⁵⁶ = 400
⁵⁶√(1 + r)⁵⁶ = ⁵⁶√400
1 + r = 1.1129
r = 1.1129 - 1 = 11.29%
g If you borrow $12,000 with an interest rate of 4 percent, to be repaid in five equal yearly payments at the end of the next five years, what would be the amount of each payment? Use Exhibit 1-D. (Round time value factor to 3 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.) g
Answer:
The instalment amount is 2695.53
Explanation:
The present value of money or borrowed amount (PV)= $12000
Interest rate (i) = 4 percent.
Time period (n )= 5 years
Annuity = A
We have to find the instalment amount that the person repay. Below is the following calculation.
P V= A x ((1 – (1 / (1 + r) ^ -n)) / r)
A = PV / ((1 – (1 / (1 + r) ^ -n)) / r)
A = 12000 / (( 1 – (1 / (1+ 4%)^-5))/ 4%
A = 2,695.53
A loan is offered with monthly payments and a 15.5 percent APR. What is the loan's effective annual rate (EAR)

I. All else equal, the farther out a cash flow is the lower its present value.
II. all else equal, for the cash flows received at the same time in the future, the lower the discount rate, the lower the present vale.
A. Only I is False.
B. Only II is False.
C. Both are False.
D. Both are True.
Answer:
False Statement:
B. Only II is False.
Explanation:
If the cash flow from a project is farther out, the present value will be lower, all else being equal. This is because of the time value of money. This concept states that the money you receive today is higher in value than the same amount received in the future. And if the future is father out, then the value of the money will continue to reduce in relative value based on this time value of money concept.
On January 1, Lumia Company’s liabilities are $60,000 and its equity is $40,000. On January 3, Lumia purchases and installs solar panel assets costing $10,000. For the panels, Lumia pays $4,000 cash and promises to pay the remaining $6,000 in six months. What is the total of Lumia’s assets after the solar panel purchase?
Answer:
$106,000
Explanation:
The formula for Asset is stated below.
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Beginning $100,000 = $60,000 + $40,000
Change $6,000 = $6,000 +
$0
Ending $106,000 = $66,000 + $40,000
Therefore, the total of Lumia's assets after the solar panel purchase is $106,000
The total assets available in the statements of the Lumia Company after the purchase of solar panel will be $106,000. as the remaining $6000 were added in the bills payable side of the liabilities in the balance sheet.
The calculation of the balance sheet is based on simple equation that the assets of the company are a summation of liabilities along with the equities of the company as on that date.
The formula for calculation of Assets is known to us as,[tex]\rm Assets= Liabilities\ + Equities[/tex]
It is given to us that the liabilities of the Lumia Co. are $60000 and the equities of the company stand at $40000 so by putting the values in the formula above we get,[tex]\rm Assets\ Before\ Purchase\ of\ Solar\ Panel = 40000+60000[/tex]
So, the assets before the purchase of solar panel were $100,000. We know that the solar panel was purchased for $10000 for which $4000 was paid in cash and the remaining stood as bills payable.
The equation to solve this would be that in the assets side solar panel heads will show a positive balance of $10000 and a negative $4000 in cash in hand. Total assets will amount to $106,000. Whereas on the liabilities side bills payable will have a positive balance of $6000 which would make the total liabilities of the company as $66,000. Now, putting the values in the formula again we get,[tex]106000=66000+40000[/tex]
Assets match the summation of liabilities and the equities of the company and the balance sheet has tallied.Hence, the total assets of Lumia Co. after the purchase of Solar panel will be $106,000.

a. Target the quantity of reserves.
b. Set targets for both interest rates and the quantity of reserves.
c. Not target the interest rates.
d. Let the quantity of reserves fluctuate.
Answer:
d. Let the quantity of reserves fluctuate.
Explanation:
Volatility in reserve demand is offset by the central bank allowing the quantity of reserves to fluctuate in line with demand. By manipulating and adjusting the reserve levels, a central bank can prevent volatile fluctuations in currency. It does this by affecting the exchange rate and increasing the demand for and value of the country's own currency. By varying the reserve requirements, the liquidity position of the banks and hence their ability to lend are affected as an anti-inflationary measure with reduction of potential credit expansion.

What investments could Trafigura make to maximise its market position while maintaining a responsible risk profile
Answer:
By applying a process of natural hedging, with integrated operational management, logistics and infrastructural investments, Trafigura can diversify its activities and investments so that risks are flattened out. For instance, its investments in storage and shipping capabilities ensure that if the demand for storage is low, the demand for shipping will increase and vice versa.
Furthermore, when Trafigura is not trading actively in the physical commodity, it can use its asset management, logistics, and distribution capabilities and globalized network of subsidiaries and activities to offset the low revenue from trading. These diversified investments and assets, therefore, enhance and complement its various activities so that its risk profile is constantly being managed in a balanced manner without incurring so much risk costs.
