Answer:
Initial value of building = $4,050,000
Initial value of land = $2,700,000
Initial value of equipment = $2,250,000
Explanation:
The fair value of an asset refers to a unbiased estimate of the likely market price of the asset.
The initial value of a fixed asset refers to the amount of money that spent to acquire or create the asset.
The initial value of each asset from a group of asset can be calculated using the following formula:
Initial value of an asset = Lump-sum price * (FVA / TFV) ............ (1)
Where, from the questio;
Lump-sum price = $9,000,000
FVA = Fair value of a particular asset. From the question, we have:
Building fair value = $4,500,000
Land fair value = $3,000,000
Land fair value = $2,500,000
TFV =Total fair value = Building fair value + Land fair value + Land fair value = $4,500,000 + $3,000,000 + $2,500,000 = $10,000,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we can determine the initial value of each asset as follows:
Initial value of building = $9,000,000 * ($4,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.45 = $4,050,000
Initial value of land = $9,000,000 * ($3,000,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.30 = $2,700,000
Initial value of equipment = $9,000,000 * ($2,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.25 = $2,250,000
A company with $70,000 in current assets and $50,000 in current liabilities pays a $1,000 current liability. As a result of this transaction, the current ratio and working capital will
The question is missing the options and is incomplete. The q=complete question is,
A company with $70,000 in current assets and $50,000 in current liabilities pays a $1,000 current liability. As a result of this transaction, the current ratio and working capital will:
a. both decrease
b. both increase
c. remain the same and decrease, respectively
d. increase and remain the same, respectively
Answer:
The correct answer is option D as the current ratio has increased while the working capital has remained the same.
Explanation:
The current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. The formula for current ratio is,
Current ratio = Current assets / current liabilities
The old current ratio was,
Current ratio = 70000 / 50000 = 1.4
After the transaction, the new current ratio is,
Current ratio = (70000 - 1000) / (50000 - 1000) = 1.408
Thus, as a result of the transaction, the current ratio has increased.
The working capital is the difference between the value of current assets and the value of current liabilities.
The formula to calculate the working capital is,
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
Old working capital = 70000 - 50000 = $20000
The new working capital = 69000 - 49000 = $20000
Thus, the working capital remain unchanged after the transaction.
Based on the following information, calculate the variable overhead rate variance. Actual variable overhead cost $15,500 Actual hours used 4,200 Standard hours allowed 4,000 Standard variable overhead rate $3.75 per hour
Answer:
Rate variance = $250 favorable
Explanation:
The variable overhead rate variance is the difference between the actual variable cost and the standard variable overhead cost the actual actual hours used.
We would compare the actual cost to the standard cost of the actual hours used . This is done below as follows:
$
4,200 hours should have cost (4200 × 3.75 ) 15,750
but did cost 15,500
Rate variance 250 Favorable
Note the actual hours of 4,200 cost $250 less than it should be have cost . Hence the variance is favorable
Rate variance = $250
What are the portfolio weights for a portfolio that has 156 shares of Stock A that sell for $45 per share and 130 shares of Stock B that sell for $30 per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)
Answer:
Total Stock price of Stock A = 156 x 45
Total Stock price of Stock A = $7,020
Total Stock price of Stock B = 130 x 30
Total Stock price of Stock B = $3,900
Hence, the total Stock price of Stock of A & B is $7,020 & $3,900 respectively.
Portfolio weight of Stock A = 7,020/ ( 7,020 + 3,900)
Portfolio weight of Stock A = 64%
Portfolio weight of Stock B = 3,900 / ( 7,020 + 3,900)
Portfolio weight of Stock B = 36%
Hence, the portfolio weight of stock A & B is 64% & 36% respectively.

Consider two projects. The first project pays benefits of $85 today and nothing else. The second project pays nothing today, nothing one year from now, but $104 two years from now. a. Which project would be preferred if the discount rate were 0%? b. What if the rate increased to 10%? c. Find the Internal Rate of Return.
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
Discount rate is 0%
NPV of first project = 85
NPV of second project = 0 + 0 + 104 = 104
second project is preferrable .
b )
if discount rate is 10%
NPV of first project = 85
NPV of second project = 104 / 1.1²
= 85.95
Their NPV is almost the same so anyone can be preferred .
c ) IRR can not be calculated unless the cost of project or cash outflow is given .
Hannah Co. has 10,000 shares of $10 par common stock outstanding. A 10% stock dividend is declared when the market price is $50 per share.Following the stock dividend, a cash dividend of $4 per share is declared and paid to Hannah Cos' shareholders. The debit to Retained Earnings will be:
Answer:
Hannah Co.
The debit to Retained Earnings will be:
$44,000
Explanation:
Common Stock outstanding = 10,000 shares of $10 par
With a 10% stock dividend, the outstanding shares increase to 11,000 (10,000 x 1.1).
The cash dividend per share = $4
Total cash dividend equals $44,000 ($4 x 11,000).
So the Retained Earnings will be debited to the sum of $44,000 following the cash dividend to reduce the Retained Earnings account by $44,000.
Despite the theoretical elegance of this hypothesis, empirical studies have come to the opposite conclusion. Despite the favorable effect of international diversification of cash flows, bankruptcy risk was only about the same for MNEs as for domestic firms. However, MNEs faced higher costs for each of the following EXCEPT:
A) agency costs.
B) political risk.
C) asymmetric information.
D) In fact, each of these costs were higher for the MNE than for the domestic firm.
Answer:
D) In fact, each of these costs were higher for the MNE than for the domestic firm.
Explanation:
It has been concluded through empirical studies, that Multinational Enterprises, MNEs encounters various factors leading to lower debt ratios and a higher cost of long-term debt, such as greater agency costs, political risk, asymmetric information, and foreign exchange risk,
Hence, given the question above, the right answer is option D "In fact, each of these costs was higher for the MNE than for the domestic firm."
Suppose that Mexico experienced a very severe period of inflation in 1972. As prices in Mexico rose, the demand in the foreign exchange market for Mexican pesos:
Answer:
demand for pesos would fall and supply would rise. their value would decrease as a result
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in general price level.
When there is high inflation in a country, the demand for the currency would fall because the value of the currency is low. this fall in demand coupled with the excess supply of the currency would lead to a fall in the value of the currency.
Which of the following is not a recommended guideline for designing and administering a compensation and reward system that will truly motivate organization members, inspire their best efforts, and sustain high levels of productivity?
A. Make the performance payoff a major, not minor, piece of the total compensation package
B. Keep the time between achieving the target performance outcome and the payment of the reward as short as possible
C. Maintain a 50-50 balance between monetary and non-monetary rewards and a 50-50 balance between positive and negative incentives
D. Make sure that the performance targets that each individual or team is expected to achieve involve outcomes that the individual or team can personally affect
E. Absolutely avoid skirting the system to find ways to reward effort rather than results
Answer: C. Maintain a 50-50 balance between monetary and non-monetary rewards and a 50-50 balance between positive and negative incentives.
Explanation:
Employees generally prefer to be paid for their hardwork and so would prefer that their rewards are more monetary in nature than not. As good as non-monetary rewards are, they should not be on equal footing with monetary rewards. If they are, it could demotivate employees who will feel they are not getting paid their fair share.
Negative incentives get the job done but more often than not fail to positively motivate employees in such a way that they will bring out their best efforts. Negative incentives are more like punishments or the threat of them and so if they are on equal footing with positive investments, organization members will not be as motivated.

The infant industry argument says that Question 7 options: tariffs should be imposed to allow a new industry in a country to get established. imports should target new products from other countries to take advantage of the transmission of new ideas. dumping should be allowed in order to establish a presence of an industry that has previously not had a presence in another country. countries should produce and trade goods according to their comparative advantage.
Answer:
The infant industry argument says that Question 7 options:
tariffs should be imposed to allow a new industry in a country to get established.
Explanation:
The argument for the infant industry protectionism suggests that the imposition of tariffs on imports gives a new industry in the country the required breathing space it requires to develop, grow, and be established before it can face competitive forces from outside, which imports imply. Since newly formed industries often do not command the economies of scale and learning experience that their competitors from other countries may have, therefore, they need to be singularly shaded from external competition until they have achieved similar economies of scale and learning curve. But, can they attain any competitive edge without learning from competitors?
Barney Corporation reported the following figures for their year ending December 31, 2019: Gross profit: 538,000 Cost of goods sold: 453,000 Net income: 230,000 Using the data above, calculate Barney Corp's 2019 Gross Profit Margin.
Answer:
Barney Corp.'s gross profit margin for 2019 = 54.29%
Explanation:
gross profit margin = (net sales - cost of goods sold) / net sales
net sales - cost of goods sold = gross profit = $538,000net sales = gross profit + cost of goods sold = $538,000 + $453,000 = $991,000gross profit margin = $538,000 / $991,000 = 0.5429 = 54.29%
EHealth Corporation has $1,000 par value bonds with 4 years to maturity. The bonds pay an 8% coupon rate with semi-annual coupon interest payments. The bond's closing price is quoted at 103.75. Suppose you purchase the bond for the closing price. What is the bond's yield to maturity?
Answer:
Yield to Maturity(YTM) = 3.47%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity is the required rate of return (discount rate) that would equate the price of the bond and cash outflow expected from the bond. The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:
YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YTM-Yield to maturity-
C- coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
DATA
Coupon = coupon rate × Nominal value = 1,000 × 8%× 1/2=40(note we divide by 2 because interest is paid semi-annually)
n= 4×2 = 8 (note there 2 half months in a year)
Face Value = 1000
YM-?, C-40, Face Value - 1,000, P-103.75/100× 1000 = 1037.5
YM = (40 + (1000-1037)/8) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 1037.5 ) ) =0.0347
YM = 0.0347 × 100 = 3.47%
Yield to Maturity = 3.47%
An investor has a 25% chance of making $1000 if the stock market is good, and a 50% chance of making $600 if the market is average. The investor expects to lose $800 if the market is bad. The expected monetary value is:
Answer: $350
Explanation:
The expected monetary value is the weighted average of the outcomes.
25% - Stock Market is good
50% - Stock Market is average
25% - Stock market is bad
Expected Monetary Value = ( 0.25 * 1,000) + (0.5* 600) + ( 0.25 * -800)
= 250 + 300 - 200
= $350
A product selling in France has a price to the channel of EUR 10.00, fixed costs of EUR 33 million, and variable costs of EUR 4.50. How many units does the company have to sell to break even
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 6,000,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $10
Unitary variable cost= $4.5
Fixed costs= 33,000,000
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 33,000,000 / (10 - 4.5)
Break-even point in units= 6,000,000
Kenneth Arrow discussed two important situations in which profit maximization can be socially inefficient. One of these occurs when
Answer:
Explanation:
One of these occurs when costs are not paid for, as in pollution, the other is when there is an imbalance of knowledge between buyer and seller. Pollution can be a consequence that cannot be solved with money and can also be socially irresponsible for a company. On the other hand, an imbalance of knowledge can prevent a company from profit maximization if the seller does not understand the product or services that the buyer is selling.

Explain whether each of the following events shifts the short-run aggregate-supply curve, the aggregate-demand curve, both, and neither. Households decide to save a larger share of their income. Florida orange groves suffer a prolonged period of below-freezing temperatures. Increased job opportunities overseas cause many people to leave the country.
Answer:
1. Households decide to save a larger share of their income. - Aggregate-Demand Curve
If households in the economy started saving more of their money then this would leave less money for consumption which is one of the components of Aggregate Demand. When Consumption decreases so also will Aggregate Demand thereby shifting the Aggregate-Demand Curve to the left.
2. Florida orange groves suffer a prolonged period of below-freezing temperatures. - Short-run Aggregate Supply Curve
With the Florida Orange Groves suffering from below freezing temperatures, the oranges will not grow as much leading to a poor harvest. This will reduce the supply of oranges in the economy and shift the short-run Aggregate supply curve left.
3. Increased job opportunities overseas cause many people to leave the country. Both Aggregate-Demand Curve and Short-run Aggregate Supply Curve.
With less people in the Economy, there will be less people spending on goods and services which will cause the Aggregate Demand curve to shift to the left.
Also with people leaving the country, the labor force will decrease which will mean that less people are available to produce goods and services so the short-run Aggregate supply curve will shift left.
g Founder of Vanguard, Jack Bogle, believes that all investors should buy stock indices. Group of answer choices He believes in strong form market efficiency. He believes in semi-strong form market efficiency. He believes in weak form market efficiency. He believes markets are not efficient.
Answer:
The answer is B. He believes in semi-strong form market efficiency.
Explanation:
Whether Jack Bogle believed in the efficient market hypothesis was controversial. One of his famous saying on the issue: "Whatever the consensus on the Efficient Market Hypothesis, I know of no serious academic, professional money manager, trained security analyst, or intelligent individual investor who would disagree with the thrust of EMH: The stock market itself is a demanding taskmaster. It sets a high hurdle that few investors can leap.” He obviously believed although someone still doubts on the truth of the hypothesis, the market usually reflects the right value at the end.

Aggregate income in an economy in 2017 is $100 billion. Saving is $30 billion and imports are $35 billion. What is aggregate expenditure in the economy in 2017?
Answer: $100 billion
Explanation:
In Economics, Aggregate Income is assumed to be the same as Aggregate Expenditure. The assumption behind this is that every dollar spent is a dollar in income from someone else so every income is just a dollar that will be spent.
With that logic in a country that has Aggregate income of $100 billion, the Aggregate Expenditure will be $100 billion as well.
The firm receives an average of $20,000 in checks per day. The weighted average delay in clearing the checks received is 3 days. Meanwhile, the firm writes an average of $17,000 in checks to pay its suppliers per day. The usual clearing time for the checks the firm wrote is 2 days. The current interest rate is 0.015 percent per day. What is the most the firm should be willing to pay today (in a lump sum today) to eliminate its float entirely? A) 3000 B) 26000 C) 34000 D) 37000 E) 60000
Answer:
$26000
Explanation:
from the question;
check per day; 20000
delay: 3 days
checks to pay suppliers; 17000
clearing time 2 days
we first calculate collection flaot:
collection flaot = average amount of check x outstanding days
= 20000 x 3
= 60000
now we have to calculate disbursements float:
average amount of check x days to clear
= 17000 x 2
= 34000
with these two values we can get the net float
= collection flaot - disbursements float
= 60000 - 34000
= $26000
A stock has an expected return of 13.5 percent, its beta is 1.40, and the expected return on the market is 11.5 percent. What must the risk-free rate be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
The risk free rate is 6.50%
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market
As we know the figures for r, Beta and rM, we will input these figures in the equation to calculate risk free rate.
Let risk free rate be x.
0.135 = x + 1.4 * (0.115 - x)
0.135 = x + 0.161 - 1.4x
0.135 - 0.161 = x - 1.4x
-0.026 = -0.4x
-0.026 / -0.4 = x
x = 0.065 or 6.50%
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

If WiseGuy Inc. uses payback period rule to choose projects, which of the projects (Project A or Project B) will rank highest?
a) Project A
b) Project B
c) Project A and B have the same ranking
d) Cannot calculate a payback period without a discount rate
Answer: b) Project B
Explanation:
Payback period works by checking how long it will take a project to pay back the initial amount invested in it. Project A.
Project A
Payback Period = Year before Payback happens + Amount left till payback/Cash inflow in year of payback
= Time 1 + Time 2
= 4,000 + 3,000
= $7,000
This amount is not enough to cover the investment of $10,000 so the investment will be paid in Time 3 and remains $3,000.
= 2 + 3,000/10,000
= 2.3 Times
Project B
= Time 1 + Time 2
= 3,000 + 2,000
= $5,000
At the end of Time 2, Project B has paid off its initial investment of $5,000. Its Payback period is 2 Times. This is lower than Project A so this project will rank higher.
