Answer:
The answer is 2.71 percent
Explanation:
The interest payment is annually.
N(Number of periods) = 12 years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?
PV(present value or market price) = $1,470
PMT( coupon payment) = $73.5 ( [7.35 percent x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 12; PV = -1470 ; PMT = 73.5; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 2.71
Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond annually is 2.71 percent
Which of the following reasons would cause a company to reject an offer to accept business at a special price?
a. The additional sales will increase differential income.
b. The additional sales will not increase fixed expenses
c. The additional sales will increase fixed expenses
d. The additional sale will not conflict with regular sales.

The additional sale will not conflict with regular sales.
Explanation:
Accept business at a special price if the additional sales conflict regular sales. That is, special price must maintain the status quo or improve it.
The profit-maximizing monopolist produces _____________ units and charges a price of _____________.
Answer: Q0; P3
Explanation:
The profit-maximizing monopolist produces Q0 units and charges a price of P3.
According to the exhibit graph, the monopolist will produce Q0 units. This is because a monopoly maximises profit at the point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost. Looking at the chart, the quantity of output where this happens is Q0.
The Monopolist will then charge a price of P3. After the profit-maximising output is realized, the way to find out the price the monopolist will sell at is the point where the output produced intersects with the Demand curve. At this point, the price listed is what people are willing to buy that amount of quantity for and so the Monopoly will sell at that price.
Dye Trucking raised $240 million in new debt and used this to buy back stock. After the recap, Dye's stock price is $7. If Dye had 55 million shares of stock before the recap, how many shares does it have after the recap
Answer: 20,714,286 shares
Explanation:
Find out the number of shares that was repurchased:
= Amount raised / stock price
= 240,000,000 / 7
= 34,285,714 shares
Number of shares after recap:
= Number of shares before recap - Shares repurchased
= 55,000,000 - 34,285,714
= 20,714,286 shares
If the economy is in an expansionary period, appropriate policies to pursue may include: Group of answer choices an income tax cut that shifts the AD curve to the right. consumer investment incentives that shift the AD curve to the right business investment incentives that shift the AD curve to the left. a reduction in government spending that shifts the AD curve to the left.
Answer:
curve to the right business investment incentives
True or False: A tax cut is less likely to change the composition of labor demand than a government spending increase.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
This is the case because tax cuts and government spending are instruments that could be used in expansionary fiscal policy.
Note that reduced taxes usually have a direct impact on the disposable income of a economy not the composition of labor demand. Tax cuts leads directly to consumption and savings increase, resulting from increase in disposable income in the economy.
The carrying value of Blossom’s net identifiable assets, including the goodwill, at year-end is $855,000. Prepare Cullumber’s journal entry, if necessary, to record impairment of goodwill.
Answer:
Goodwill Impairment (Debit)
Goodwill (Credit)
Explanation:
In case goodwill is impaired, then the entry to record this impairment will be Goodwill Impairment Debit and Goodwill Credit.
By crediting the Goodwill, the account will be reduced. This shows that the business is currently worth less than is accounted for. The Goodwill account is reduced to identify this difference.
The Impairment loss is an expense and must be reflected in the income statement. Therefore, while we reduce Goodwill amount from balance sheet. We record the expense on the income statement, which would mean that the current year profit amount will be reduced.

Your grandfather has great faith in bonds and has heard about some "high yield bonds" that are available. He has asked you for your opinion. What advice will you give him?
Answer: That they are risky
Explanation:
Bonds tend to give a low return compared to other investments such as stocks which is because they offer a constant payout. However even with bonds there will still be those that promise a higher return than the others and this is because they are riskier.
Bonds are debt instruments which means that the rate they pay is directly related to the risk attached. This is because the interest payment is meant to compensate you for the risk you are taking by getting that bond.
If the yield/return is high it would therefore follow that the risk Is high as well. Your Grandfather should therefore be aware of this risk before investing because riskier bonds might not pay back.

You want a seat on the board of directors of Red Cow, Inc. The company has 295,000 shares of stock outstanding and the stock sells for $64 per share. There are currently 3 seats up for election. The company uses straight voting. How much will it cost you to guarantee that you will be elected to the board?
Answer: $147,501
Explanation:
Since the company uses straight voting whereby each share gets only one vote per seat, the cost to guarantee that one will be elected to the board is;
Cost = Share price*( (shares outstanding/2) +1 )
= 64 * (( 295,000/2) + 1)
= 64 * 147,501
= $147,501
This is the cost of owning more than 50% of the shares and it will guarantee that you can vote yourself in for a seat as you will have the majority to do so.
King Company issued bonds with a face amount of $1,600,000 in 2015. As of January 1, 2020, the balance in Discount on Bonds Payable is $4,800. At that time, King redeemed the bonds at 102.Required:Assuming that no interest is payable, make the entry to record the redemption.
Answer:
January 1, 2020
Bonds Payable 1600000 Dr
Loss on Redemption of bonds 36800 Cr
Discount on Bonds Payable 4800 Cr
Cash 1632000 Cr
Explanation:
The redemption of bonds before the maturity usually requires a payment for redemption which is a certain percentage of its face value. It is usually higher than the face value. The above bonds are redeemed at 102 which means at 102% of the face value of the bonds. Thus, the cash paid to redeem the bonds is,
Cash = 1600000 * 102% = 1632000
The bonds have a carrying value, which is the face value less discount or add premium, of,
Carrying value = 1600000 - 4800 = $1595200
If they are redeemed for an amount in excess of the carrying value, they are redeemed at a loss.
The loss on redemption is,
Loss = 1595200 - 1632000 = $36800

Michael Company reports Total Assets of $254,000, Common Stock of $50,000, and Retained Earnings of $94,000. What are total liabilities at the end of the first year
Answer:
$110,000
Explanation:
Accounting equation : Assets - liabilities = Shareholder's equity
Liabilities = Assets - Shareholder's equity
Equity = $50,000 + $94,000 = $144,000
$254,000 - $144,000 = $110,000
The Berndt Corporation expects to have sales of $12 million. Costs other than depreciation are expected to be 75% of sales, and depreciation is expected to be $1.5 million. All sales revenues will be collected in cash, and costs other than depreciation must be paid for during the year. Berndt’s federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. Berndt has no debt. a. Set up an income statement. What is Berndt’s expected net income? Its expected net cash flow? b. Suppose Congress changed the tax laws so that Berndt’s depreciation expenses doubled. No changes in operations occurred. What would happen to reported profit and to net cash flow? c. Now suppose that Congress changed the tax laws such that, instead of doubling Berndt’s depreciation, it was reduced by 50%. How would profit and net cash flow be affected? d. If this were your company, would you prefer Congress to cause your depreciation expense to be doubled or halved? Why? Ehrhardt, Michael C.. Corporate Finance: A Focused Approach (p. 93). Cengage Learning. Kindle Edition.
Answer:
a) Berndt Corporation
Income Statement
Sales revenue $12,000,000
All cost other than depreciation ($9,000,000)
Depreciation expense ($1,500,000)
EBIT $1,500,000
Income taxes ($600,000)
Net income $900,000
net cash flow = $900,000 + $1,500,000 = $2,400,000
b) if depreciation doubles, net profit will decrease to $0, but net cash flows will increase to $3,000,000
c) if depreciation decreases by 50%, net profit will increase to $1,350,000, but net cash flows will decrease to $2,100,000
d) Once a company is operating, its value is generally calculated based on its cash flows, therefore, I would select the option that increases the company's net cash flows (Congress doubles depreciation expense).
The owner of a leased property conveys possession of the property to the tenant providing them with uninterrupted us of the property without interference from the owner. This is known as
Answer:
Quiet enjoyment
Explanation:
Quiet enjoyment is a clause in lease agreement that provides a guarantee that the tenant will occupy the property in peace without interference from any other claimants or the landlord.
For example this clause protects a tenant from being removed from a property by someone of higher rank or authority like an agent.
The law recognises quiet enjoyment even when it is not stated explicitly in a lease agreement. It is assumed that every tenant has a right to quiet enjoyment
Venture Capital Corporation loans Wally $15,000 to start a new business.Wally does not pay,but Venture fails to sue within the time prescribed by the applicable statute of limitations.Wally's promise to pay the debt even though recovery is barred:_________
A) needs new consideration.
B) needs no consideration.
C) is unenforceable regardless of any consideration.
D) needs legally sufficient and adequate consideration.
Answer:
B) needs no consideration.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Wally's promise to pay the debt even though recovery is barred needs no consideration. This is mainly due to the fact that the Corporation failed to sue within the statute of limitation that was set. Meaning they can no longer sue Wally in order to recover the loan that was given to him. If they were to try and sue Wally now the lawsuit would just be dismissed with no consideration given.
Which of the following does not represent an outflow of cash and therefore would not be reported on the statement of cash flows as a use of cash?
a. purchase of noncurrent assets
b. purchase of treasury stock
c. discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated.
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated is the correct answer. No exchange of cash was involved in this unlike the purchase of non current asset(which is a cash outflow under investing activities) and the purchase of treasury stock (which is a cash outflow under financing activities).
Discarding a fully depreciated asset only is a non cash transaction.

Winston contracts to sell a plot of land called Blackacre to Paris for $500,000. Winston breaches the contract and Paris sues him. Blackacre's reasonable market value at the time of the breach was $525,000. Paris can recover: Group of answer choices only $25,000.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
C) only $25,000.
Explanation:
In the case between Blackacre and Paris over the piece of land, the value recoverable will be the difference between the original value of the land the the newest value of the land when the breach of contract occurs. Hence, the only amount recoverable by Paris would be $25, 000.
1. A research project began with the selection of women who had recently had abdominal surgery. The project matched those women with controls and continued with measurements of abdominal muscle strength for both groups every three months for a year. This project was: A. Prospective study B. Retrospective study C. Experimental study D. Cross sectional study
Answer:
Abdominal rectus diastasis is a condition where the abdominal muscles are separated by an abnormal distance due to widening of the linea alba causing the abdominal content to bulge. It is commonly acquired in pregnancies and with larger weight gains. Even though many patients suffer from the condition, treatment options are poorly investigated including the effect of physiotherapy and surgical treatment. The symptoms include pain and discomfort in the abdomen, musculoskeletal and urogynecological problems in addition to negative body image and impaired quality of life. The purpose of this review was to give an overview of treatment options for abdominal rectus diastasis.
Results: The first treatment step is physiotherapy. However, evidence is lacking on which regimen to use and success rates are not stated. The next step is surgery, either open or laparoscopic, and both surgical approaches have high success rates. The surgical approach includes different plication techniques. The recurrence and complication rates are low, complications are minor, and repair improves low back pain, urinary incontinence, and quality of life. Robotic assisted surgery might become a possibility in the near future, but data are still lacking.
Conclusions: Evidence on what conservatory treatment to use is sparse, and more research needs to be done. Both open and laparoscopic surgery have shown positive results. Innovative treatment by robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery has potential, however, more research needs to be done in this area as well. An international guideline for the treatment of rectus diastasis could be beneficial for patients and clinicians.
Keywords: rectus diastasis, treatment options, physiotherapy, surgery, abdominoplasty, laparoscopy, robot assisted surgery

Factor Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs: Direct material $ 8.40 Direct labor 24.40 Overhead 42.00 Total costs per unit $ 74.80 An outside supplier offers to provide Factor with all the units it needs at $43.40 per unit. If Factor buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 70% of its overhead. Factor should choose to:
Answer: Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $46.45.
Explanation:
given data:
Direct material = $ 8.40
Direct labor = 24.40
Overhead = 42.00
Total costs per unit = $ 74.80
had to complete the question.
Multiple Choice
Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $63.85.
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $46.45.
Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $46.45.
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $33.40.
Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $33.40.
Solution:
Relevant cost to consider = Direct Material + Direct labor + (Overhead * 30%)
= $8.70 + $24.70 + ($43.50 * 30%)
= $46.45
Answer:
The units should purchased from the outside supplier.
Explanation:
production costs:
Direct material $8.40
Direct labor $24.40
Overhead $42.00
Total costs per unit $74.80
avoidable costs = $8.40 + $24.40 + (30% x $42) = $45.40
unavoidable costs = $74.80 - $45.40 = $29.40
costs of purchasing from outside vendor = $43.40 + $29.40 = $72.80
since the total costs of purchasing the unit from an outside vendor are lower than the total production costs, then they should buy them from the outside supplier.
McKerley Corp. has preferred stock outstanding that will pay an annual dividend of $3.70 per share with the first dividend exactly 14 years from today. If the required return is 3.6 percent, what is the current price of the stock?
Answer:
$64.89
Explanation:
Calculation for the current price of the stock
First step is to find the preference stock value at end of 13 years
Using this formula
P13= Annual dividend/Required return
Let plug in the formula
P13=$3.70/.036
P13= $102.78
The second step is to calculate for the current price of the stock
Using this formula
P0= P13/(1+Required return)^Dividend years
Let plug in the formula
P0= $102.78/(1 + .036)^13
P0=$102.78/(1.036)^13
P0=$102.78/1.5837
P0=$64.89
Therefore the current price of the stock will be $64.89
1. What are Regional Trading Blocs (RTBs)? Explain the 4 types of RTBs, making sure that the difference(s) between them is/are clearly stated as we move from one level to another. Discuss three (3) each of the advantages and disadvantages of the European Union to a named member country.
Answer:
Trading blocks are groups of countries who form trade agreements between themselves. Trading blocks can include
Free trade areas – elimination of tariffs between economies in the trading block
Customs union – free trade area + a common external tariff with non-members
Economic union/Single market – Customs union + common rules and regulations.
Different types of trading blocks
free-trade-customs-union
Trading blocks have become increasingly influential for world trade.
They have advantages in enabling free trade between geographically close countries. This can lead to lower prices, increased export potential, higher growth, economies of scale and greater competition.
However, it can lead to compromise as countries pool economic sovereignty. Also, the move to free trade tends to create winners and losers – with some domestic industries losing out to lower-cost imports.
Examples of Global trading blocks
Free_Trade_Areas
Free trade areas
European Union – The most integrated trading block. The EU27 have free trade and common regulations and are part of a customs union.
NAFTA – North Atlantic Free Trade Association. A free trade area between Canada, US and Mexico
ASEAN Free Trade Area Free trade area in South East Asia founded 1992. Includes: Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia.
SAFTA South Asia free trade area based around the Indian sub-continent. Includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Mercosur – a southern American trading block formed in 1991. Includes full members of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. With associate members including Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador. Developed from free trade area to become customs union.
African Union 55 countries of the continent of Africa. Created to forge closer political and economic ties. It has aspirations to become a free trade area.
Difference between free trade area and customs union
A customs union has a common external tariff on imports. This means that it doesn’t matter which country the imports enter – because all countries have the same import tariff. This means there doesn’t need to be internal checking on ‘Rules of origin‘. For example, if imports from Africa enter Spain then if goods travel across the border from Spain to France, there is no need to check whether goods are paying the correct import tariff – because the import tariffs are all the same.
A disadvantage of joining a customs union is that a country is not able to pursue its own independent trade deals. However, since trade deals are complicated and take several years, there is an advantage to negotiating trade deals as part of a regional trade block – rather than separate individual countries.
Advantages of trading blocks
Tariff removal leads to trade creation – lower prices for consumers and greater opportunity for exporters.
Increased trade enables increased specialisation – which gives benefits of economies of scale (lower average costs from increased output)
gravity-theory
Catch-up effects. Countries joining a rich trading block can benefit from inward investment and increased trade opportunities. Countries in Eastern Europe have made considerable progress in catching up with average income levels in Western Europe.
Gravity theory of trade suggests that trade with countries in close proximity is the most important due to lower transport and similar cultural and economic ties.
Gives small countries a greater say in global trade agreements
Increased competition. The removal of tariffs creates greater choice for consumers. Therefore domestic firms have a greater incentive to cut costs to remain competitive.
Disadvantages of trading blocks
Joining a customs union may lead to increased import tariffs – which leads to trade diversion. For example, when the UK joined the EEC customs union, it required higher import tariffs on imports from former Commonwealth countries. This led to switch in demand towards higher-cost European countries and caused loss of business for Commonwealth countries
Increased interdependence on economic performance in other countries in trading block. If Eurozone goes into recession, it will affect all countries in the Eurozone. However, this is almost inevitable even if countries are not formally in a trading block due to a close relationship between trade cycles in different countries.

Carter Company reported the following financial numbers for one of its divisions for the year; average total assets of $4,100,000; sales of $4,525,000; cost of goods sold of $2,550,000; and operating expenses of $1,372,000. Compute the division's return on investment:
