3. “The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are two institutions that have outlived their usefulness”. Do you agree?

Answers

Answer:

“The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank"

Have they outlived their usefulness?

No.

The IMF and the World Bank have not outlived their usefulness.  They remain very useful and relevant to our world today.  The problem they have experienced stem in part from the neglect of their purposes, because of the near-absence of the grassroot touch.  They can refocus on their purposes and reduce elitistism, and then they continue to be useful.

But, they cannot rediscover and concentrate on their purposes without the cooperation of member-countries.  Recalcitrancy does not allow any organized institutions without police power to function at their best.  Member-countries must learn to cooperate with these bodies to achieve their purposes.  There is still global poverty ravaging the world population, even among the rich and developed countries of the world.

In most developing countries, their national governments are traditionally entrenched as anti-developmental.  While they make long and meaningless speeches at world fora, back home they do not walk their talk and so often renege on their promises.  This is why it seems that the impact of these world bodies are not being felt.  National governments must be able to show responsibility to allow the effects of monetary policies and agreements to benefit the poor and the vulnerable.

Explanation:

The World Bank is an international body of the United Nations with about 189 member-countries.  It works with developing countries to reduce poverty, increase access to wealth, and promote global prosperity.  The IMF is responsible for ensuring that the international monetary system is operational and stable to ginger sustainable global economic growth.

During the year, Wright Company sells 500 remote-control airplanes for $110 each. The company has the following inventory purchase transactions for the year. Date Transaction
Number of Units Unit Cost Total Cost
Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 60 $66 $3,960
May. 5 Purchase 280 69 19,320
Nov. 3 Purchase 230 74 17,020
570 $40,300
Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold for the year, assuming the company uses FIFO.

Answers

Answer:

$5,180 and $35,120

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory is shown below:

There are 500 unit sold so according to that the cost of goods sold is

Jan 1        60 units         $66         $3,960

May 5      280 units       $69         $19,320

Nov 3       160 units      $74           $11,840

Cost of goods sold                        $35,120

Now the ending inventory is

Since there is a 70 ending inventory units i.e comes from

= 570 units - 500 units

= 70 units

So this should be at $74

i.e $5,180

a) the employees hired to help make the food.
b) the loaves of bread used to make sandwiches.
c) the cans of tomato sauce used to make soups.
d) the dining room where customers eat their meals

Answers

Answer:

d) the dining room where customers eat their meals

Explanation:

In the given situation, since it is mentioned there is a Sammy's fast food restaurant that generates the sandwiches, soups, and other items for customers

So based on the options given, the last option should be considered as a fixed input for the production function as the dining room is a fixed plus non-movable item so the same is to be considered

hence, the correct option is d.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

I would say D because you want to give a good impression on your customers so they want to come back and know that you will take good care of them.

The current price of a certain non-dividend-paying stock is $120.00. The future 2 pri ce is characterized by the following probability distribution:

If stock A does not pay dividend, it will attract capital appreciation which compensates for the unpaid dividends since the company has increased assets over liabilities.  When the assets grow more than the liabilities from the reinvestment of the profits, the net value of the business which is the equity increases.  This capital growth belongs to the stockholders and  is distributable to them in the form of the future price of the stock, which appreciates with the capital growth.

2. Assume that no additional notes payable are issued in 2015. What cash amount is paid to reduce the notes payable balance in 2015?

Answers

Answer:

1. $2,800

2. $40,000

Explanation:

1. The computation of cash dividends is paid during 2015 is shown below:-

                                      Retained earnings

Dividend paid               $2,800         Beginning balance   $8,400

($8,400 + $30,000

- $35,600)                                          Net income                $30,000

Total                              $2,800                                            $38,400

                                                          Ending balance         $35,600

Therefore cash dividends is paid during 2015 is 2,800

2. The computation of cash amount is paid to reduce the notes payable balance in 2015 is shown below:-

                                      Notes payable

Cash paid                        $40,000   Beginning balance   $69,000

Total                                 $40,000                                   $69,000

                                                         Ending balance       $29,000

Therefore cash amount is paid to reduce the notes payable balance

in 2015  is $40,000

The before-trade domestic price of tomatoes in the United States is $500 per ton. The world price of tomatoes is $400 per ton. The U.S. is a price-taker in the tomatoes market.
If trade in tomatoes is allowed, the United States:______
a) will experience increases in both consumer surplus and producer surplus.
b) may become either an importer or an exporter of tomatoes, but this cannot be determined.
c) will become an exporter of tomatoes.
d) will become an importer of tomatoes.

Answers

Answer:

d) will become an importer of tomatoes.

Explanation:

Consumer surplus would increase because the price at which they buy tomatoes would reduce while producer surplus would reduce because the price of tomatoes would reduce as a result of international trade.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.Because the price of tomatoes in the US is greater than the price of tomatoes in the world, when the US begins international trade, it would import tomatoes because it is inefficient in the production of tomatoes.  

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product

Scenario                Probability    Stocks     Bonds      Return of Return

Recession                  0.20         -5 %           14 %

= 0.20((-5% x 60%) + (14% x 40%)) = 0.0052 =               0.5%

Normal economy      0.60         15                8

= 0.60((15% x 60%) + (8% x 40%)) =  0.0732 =                7.3%              

Boom                         0.20        25               4

Lewis Company’s standard labor cost of producing one unit of Product DD is 3.20 hours at the rate of $12.50 per hour. During August, 42,600 hours of labor are incurred at a cost of $12.65 per hour to produce 13,200 units of Product DD.
A. Compute the total labor variance.
B. Compute the labor price and quantity variances.
C. Compute the labor price and quantity variances, assuming the standard is 3.5 hours of direct labor at $12.85 per hour.

Answers

Answer:

a. $10,890 Favorable

b. The labor price variance and quantity variance are $6,300 Favorable and $4,500 Favorable respectively.

c. The labor price and quantity variance is $8,520 Unfavorable and $46,260 Unfavorable respectively.

Explanation:

a. The computation of Total labor variance

= (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Standard hours × Standard rate)

= (42,600 × $12.65) - ( 13,200 units × 3.2 × $12.5)

= $538,890 - $528,000

= $10,890F

b. The computation of the Labor price variance

= Actual hours × ( Actual rate - Standard rate)

= 42,600 × ( $12.65 - $12.5)

= 42,000 × $0.15

= $6,300 F

The computation of Labor quantity variance

= Standard rate × ( Actual hours - Standard hours)

= $12.5 per hour × ( 42,600 hours - 42,240 hours )

= $12.5 per hour × 360 hours

= $4,500 F

c. The computation of Labor price variance

= Actual hours × ( Actual rate - Standard rate)

= 42,600 × ( $12.65 - $12.85 )

= 42,600 × - $0.2

= $8,520 Unfavorable

The computation of Labor quantity variance

= Standard rate × ( Actual hours - Standard hours)

= $12.85 per unit × ( 42,600 hours - 46,200 hours)

= $12.85 per unit × - $3,600

= $46,260 Unfavorable.

Liam had an extension built onto his home. He financed it for 48 months with a loan at ​% APR. His monthly payments were . How much was the loan amount for this​ extension?

Answers

Answer:

The loan is $31,694.73

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows;

Liam had an extension built onto his home. He financed it for 48 months with a loan at 5.75.7​% APR. His monthly payments were $740. How much was the loan amount for this​ extension?

solution

We proceed as follows;

From the question, we have the following terms:

Rate = 5.7%

The monthly rate is thus;

Monthly rate = 5.7% / 12 = 0.475%

Mathematically;

Loan = Annuity * [1 - 1 / (1 + r)^n] / r

Loan = 740 * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.00475)^48] / 0.00475

Loan = 740 * [1 - 0.796554] / 0.00475

Loan = 740 * 42.830712

Loan = $31,694.73

Explanation:

In such a scenario, the manager would normally be considered the agent of the building's owner. This is because the manager acts on behalf of the building owner since all of the tasks that they are responsible for have been specified by the owner and benefit the owner. Also, the manager deals with the building's tenants on behalf of the owner so that he does not have to take time out of his day to do so.

Builtrite has calculated the average cash flow to be $16,000 with a standard deviation of $4000. What is the probability of a cash flow being less than $9000? (Assume a normal distribution.)

Answers

Answer:

4%

Explanation:

For Builtrite, we can find the probability of cash flows by using the following formula:

Z = (X - C) / S

Average Cash Flow is $16000 which denoted by "C"

Standard Deviation is $4000 and is denoted by "S"

And

For cash flows that are less than $9000 which is denoted by X in the equation, "Z" can be calculated as under:

Z = (X - C) / S = ($9,000 - $16,000) / $4,000 = -1.75

As Z is less than -1.75, now we can see that the probability from the Z-table is 4% for -1.75.

Hence the probability of cash flow below $9,000 is 4%.

A) $180,000.
B) $120,000.
C) $126,000.
D) $110,000.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Segment A Segment B Segment C

Sales $500,000 $300,000 $200,000

Traceable operating expenses 250,000 120,000 90,000

Profit= 250,000  180,000  110,000  = 540,000

Allocable costs for the year was $180,000.

First, we need to allocate costs to Segment B:

Segment B= 180,000/540,000= 0.33

Allocate= 0.33*180,000= 60,000

Now, we can calculate the profit:

Segment B profit= 180,000 - 60,000= 120,000

Why do we need to deduct gain on sale of plant assets from net income to arrive at net cash flow from operating activities

Answers

Answer:

The money received from the sale of assets is included in the net cash flows from investing activities, that is why you must adjust net income by eliminating any gain or loss resulting from these transactions.  

Explanation:

E.g. net income = $50,000, and it includes a gain of $5,000 resulting from the sale of a truck. The truck had a book value of $15,000, but was sold at $20,000.

Net cash flows from operating activities:

Net income $50,000

Adjustments to net income:

- Gain on sale of asset ($5,000)

Net cash flow provided by operating activities $45,000

Net cash flows from investing activities:

Sale of truck $20,000

Net cash flow provided by investing activities $20,000

In the past, Taylor Industries has used a fixed−time period inventory system that involved taking a complete inventory count of all items each month. However, increasing labor costs are forcing Taylor Industries to examine alternative ways to reduce the amount of labor involved in inventory stockrooms, yet without increasing other costs, such as shortage costs. Here is a random sample of 20 of Taylor's items.
ITEM NUMBER ANNUAL USAGE ITEM NUMBER ANNUAL USAGE
1 $ 1,500 11 $ 13,000
2 12,000 12 600
3 2,200 13 42,000
4 50,000 14 9,900
5 9,600 15 1,200
6 750 16 10,200
7 2,000 17 4,000
8 11,000 18 61,000
9 800 19 3,500
10 15,000 20 2,900
a. What would you recommend Taylor do to cut back its labor cost? (Illustrate using an ABC plan.)
b. Item 15 is critical to continued operations. How would you recommend it beclassified?

Answers

Answer:

a) Taylor Industries can successfully cut back its labor cost in inventory stockrooms by counting only high-value items.  These items are determined by reference to their Annual Usage values.  The items' annual usage values should be used as the activity cost pool for accumulating and allocating labor cost in inventory stockrooms.  Taylor Industries can establish a benchmark or cutoff point so that only the items meeting this benchmark are counted.  For example, the items with annual usage value above $5,000 should be included in the items to be counted.  This strategy will reduce the number of items to be counted and therefore the labor cost.

b) Since item 15 is critical to Taylor Industries' continued operations, it should be classified as a direct materials cost and not an overhead cost.

Suppose purchasing power parity holds. If the price level in the United States is 100 dollars per good and the price level in Japan is 250 yen per good, then the nominal exchange rate is ________ yen per dollar.

Answers

Answer: 2.5 Yen

Explanation;

The Economic theory of Purchasing Power Parity when held, believes that prices of goods in different countries are the same if their exchange rates are taken into account.

For the above therefore it means that the price of the good is the same in both the US and Japan barring exchange rates.

Exchange rate is;

$100 = ¥250

$1 = 250/100

$1 = ¥2.5

Exchange rate is 2.5 yen per dollar.

The Digby company will continue to train their existing workforce at their current level to help reduce turnover and improve productivity next year. Employee training costs have increased to $30 per hour. How much would their training costs per employee be to the nearest dollar

Answers

Answer:

$1,200

Explanation:

Data provided

Number of training hours = 40

Per unit cost = $30 per hour

According to the given situation, the computation of training costs per employee is shown below:-

Total cost = Number of hours × Per unit cost

= 40 × $30

= $1,200

Therefore for computing the training costs per employee we simply applied the above formula.

Answer:

$1200

Explanation:

The training cost per hour is $30 and if we see below in the Human Resources Summary, we can see that Digby Training Hours are 40 Hours.

This implies that:

Total Training Cost = 40 Hours * $30 per hour = $1200

Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $250,000. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7:
Year 1 $390,000
2 400,000
3 411,000
4 426,000
5 434,000
6 435,000
7 436,000
The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $400,000. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $100,000 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%.
Instructions
Use the net present value method to determine whether Hillsong should purchase the new machine to replace the existing machine, and state the reason for your conclus

Answers

Answer:

NPV = 37,599 Negative

Explanation:

We can calculate the NPV of the new sewing machine by deducting the Present value of future cash inflows by Investment

Initial investment = Machine cost + Training cost - Salvage value

Initial investment = 2,450,000 + 85,000 - 250,000

Initial investment = 2,285,000

Year                                      DF(9%)   Present Value

1  Cash inflow     390,000  x 0.917      $357,798

2 Cash inflow     400,000  x 0.842    $336,672

3 Cash inflow     411,000   x  0.772     $317,367

4 Cash inflow     426,000  x 0.708     $301,789

5 Cash inflow     334,100  x 0.650     $217,077       (434,100 - 100,000)

6 Cash inflow     435,000  x 0.596    $259,376

7 Cash inflow     436,000 x 0.547     $238,507

7 Salvage value 400,000 x 0.547     $218,814  

     

Present Value of cash inflow             $2,247,401

Initial investment                                $2,285,000

NPV ($2,247,401 - $2,285,000)          (37,599)    

Conclusion: Hillsong should not purchase the new machine as the NPV of the machine is negative      

What is the yield to maturity of a bond that pays a 6% coupon rate with semiannual coupon payments, has a par value of $1,000, matures in 15 years, and is currently selling for $803

Answers

Answer:

Yield to Maturity = 8.11 %  

Explanation:

The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows 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- annual coupon

F- Face Value

P- Current Price

n- years to maturity

YTM-?, C- 6%× 1000 =60, Face Value - 1,000, P-803, n- 15

YTM = (60 + (1000-803)/15) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 803) )

YTM = 0.0811  × 100 = 8.11 %

Yield to Maturity = 8.11 %

Answers

Answer:

Wilcox’s average collection period is 9 days.

Explanation:

The average collection period can be described as how long it takes a company to get paid by the amount of money its clients are owing it in terms of accounts receivable (AR).

Average collection period can be calculated using the following formula:

ACP = (Accounts receivable / Net sales) * 365 days .............. (1)

Where, for this question;

ACP = Average collection period = ?

Accounts receivable = $70

Net sales = $2,870

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

ACP = ($70 / $2,870) * 365 days

ACP = 0.024390243902439 * 365 days

ACP = 8.90 days, or approximately 9 days

Therefore, Wilcox’s average collection period is 9 days.

A firm has a total market value of $10 million while its debt has a market value of $4 million. What is the after-tax weighted average cost of capital if the before-tax cost of debt is 10%, the cost of equity is 15%, and the tax rate is 35%

Answers

Answer:

11.6%

Explanation:

A firm total market value is $10 million

Its debt has a market value of $4 million

The before-tax cost of debt is 10%

= 10/100

= 0.1

The cost of equity is 15%

= 15/100

= 0.15

The tax rate is 35%

= 35/100

= 0.35

Therefore, the after-tax weighted average cost of capital can be calculated as follows

WACC= 0.4(0.10)(1-0.35) + 0.6(0.15)

= 0.04(0.65) + 0.09

= 0.026 + 0.09

= 0.116×100

= 11.6%

Hence the after-tax weighted average cost of capital is 11.6%

The risk-free rate is 5% and the tangency portfolio has 20% expected return and 40% return standard deviation. A risk-loving investor has $1000 of wealth and she seeks to attain 27.5% expected return. How much money does she need to borrow from the bank? A. 250 B. 500 C. 1500 D. 1000

Answers

Answer:

B. 500

Explanation:

Portfolio return =  Weighted average return

Let the amount invested in portfolio is x and amount invested in risk free = 1000 - x

27.5% = 20%*x + 5%*(1000-x)

27.5% * 1,000 = 20%x + 50 – 5%x

0.275 * 1,000 = 15%x + 50

275 - 50 = 15%x

225 = 15%x

x = 225 / 0.15

x  =  $1,500

Hence, the amount of money borrowed = $1,500 - $1000

= $500
