= 4.67 years.
All of the following actions by a custodian in an account opened under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act are permitted except:_______.
A. donating funds to the account to make additional investments
B. withdrawing funds from the account for the custodian's use
C. managing the investments in the account with the objective of generating enough income for college tuition
D. selling securities in the account to generate proceeds for other investments
Answer: B. withdrawing funds from the account for the custodian's use
Explanation:
Under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, the Custodian's duty is to manage the account for the minor and allocate the assets within in such a way that it will bring about the best returns for the minor.
Custodians should not abuse this power for their own benefit or gain which is why the custodian withdrawing funds from the account for their own use is a violation of the act.
Homestead Crafts, a distributor of handmade gifts, operates out of owner Emma Finn’s house. At the end of the current period, Emma looks over her inventory and finds that she has 800 units (products) in her basement, 25 of which were damaged by water and cannot be sold. 180 units in her van, ready to deliver per a customer order, terms FOB destination. 200 units out on consignment to a friend who owns a retail store. How many units should Emma include in her company’s period-end inventory?
Answer: 1155
Explanation:
The solution guess thus to calculate the units in Ending Inventory:
Units of product on hand: 800 units
Add: Units in transit 180
Add: Units on consignment 200
Less: Damaged units 25
The number of units that Emma should include in her company’s period-end inventory will be:
= (800+180+200) - 25
= 1180 - 25
= 1155
Assume MIX Inc. has sales volume of $1,198,000 for two products with May sales and contribution margin ratios as follows:
Product A: Sales $466,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 30%
Product B: Sales $732,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 60%
Required: Assume MIX's fixed expenses are $302,000. Calculate the May total contribution margin, operating income, average contribution margin ratio, and breakeven sales volume. (Round "Average contribution margin ratio" answer to 2 decimal places. Round up "Breakeven sales volume" answer to nearest whole dollar.)
Total contribution margin
Operating income
Average contribution margin ratio
Breakeven sales volume
Answer:
total contribution margin = $579,000
operating income = $277,000
average contribution margin ratio = 48.33%
break even sales volume = $624,870.68
Explanation:
Product A: Sales $466,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 30%
Product B: Sales $732,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 60%
Mix's fixed expenses are $302,000
total contribution margin = ($466,000 x 30%) + ($732,000 x 60%) = $139,800 + $439,200 = $579,000
weighted contribution margin = (466/1198 x 30%) + (732/1198 x 60%) = 11.67% + 36.66% = 48.33%
break even sales volume = $302,000 / 48.33% = $624,870.68
operating income = $579,000 - $302,000 = $277,000

Explanation:
A customer who has routinely traded securities through your firm has placed an order to buy a security that is only listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange. To effect the transaction, your firm must use a correspondent broker-dealer located in Malaysia that charges large special handling fees to cover Malaysian securities transfer taxes. Which statement is TRUE
Answer:
the broker-dealer must notify the customer of the additional charges prior to executing the transaction
Explanation:
In such a scenario, the statement that would be completely true is that the broker-dealer must notify the customer of the additional charges prior to executing the transaction. Since the broker is acting on behalf of the customer, then the customer needs to be notified beforehand in order for him/her to be able to analyze and decide whether or not they still want to go ahead with the transaction.
what is reductionasim
Answer:
Thus, the ideas that physical bodies are collections of atoms or that a given mental state (e.g., one person's belief that snow is white) is identical to a particular physical state (the firing of certain neurons in that person's brain) are examples of reductionism.
Explanation:
Mortgage insurance rates vary with the perceived riskiness of the loan.Which of the following scenarios would result in a higher mortgage insurance premium?
A) Lower loan-to-value ratio
B) Shorter loan term
C) Stronger credit record of the borrower
D) A "cash-out" refinancing loan
Answer: D) A "cash-out" refinancing loan
Explanation:
A "cash-out" refinancing loan refers to when a person replaces the mortgage that they have on a house with a newer, larger mortgage than the balance of the previous mortgage on the house.
The difference between this new mortgage and the old one can then be withdrawn in cash.
This would attract a higher mortgage insurance premium because the value of debt has now increased because as earlier mentioned, the new mortgage will be larger than the previous one so to cater for this, the insurance premiums will rise.

Identifying costs of inflation
Kyoko owns and operates a store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. In order to prevent the value of money in her cash register from falling too quickly, Kyoko sends an employee to the bank four times per day to make deposits in an interest-bearing account that protects the store's revenues from the effects of inflation. This is an example of the_______of inflation.
Answer:
Shoe-leather Costs.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Kyoko owns and operates a store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. In order to prevent the value of money in her cash register from falling too quickly, Kyoko sends an employee to the bank four times per day to make deposits in an interest-bearing account that protects the store's revenues from the effects of inflation. This is an example of the shoe-leather costs of inflation.
Inflation can be defined as the persistent rise in the price of goods and services in an economy. Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.
A Shoe-leather costs can be defined as the costs associated with time, energy and effort people expend to mitigate the effect of high inflation on the depreciative purchasing power of money by frequently visiting the bank in order to minimize inflation tax they pay on holding cash.
Figuratively speaking, in order to protect the value of money or assets, some people wear out the sole of their shoes by going to financial institutions more frequently to make deposits.
Hence, Kyoko is practicing a shoe-leather cost of inflation so as to protect the store's revenues from the effects of inflation.
g An increase in taxes when the economy is above full employment ______ aggregate demand and real GDP, and the price level ______.
Answer:
C. decreases; falls
Explanation:
As we know that
The rise in taxes results in low disposable income for individuals that lowered the spending of the consumer also the consumer spending is an element of the aggregate demand so ultimately it declines that result the curve to shift leftward or downward
Due to this, the real GDP also falls, and the price level too
Hence, the correct option is c.

You purchased a stock at a price of $48.98. The stock paid a dividend of $1.63 per share and the stock price at the end of the year was $54.12. What was the total return for the year? Multiple Choice 13.82% 10.49% 13.17% 12.51% 3.33%
Answer:
13.82%
Explanation:
The computation of total return for the year is shown below:-
Total return = (End value - Beginning value + Dividend) ÷ Beginning value
= ($54.12 - $48.98 + $1.63) ÷ $48.98
= 6.77 ÷ $48.98
= 0.13821
or
= 13.82%
Therefore for computing the total return we simply applied the above formula by considering all the information given in the question
A common stock pays an annual dividend per share of $1.80. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the risk premium for this stock is 4%. If the annual dividend is expected to remain at $1.80 per share, what is the value of the stock
Answer:
The value of the stock today is $20
Explanation:
Using the CAPM equation, we first calculate the required rate of retunr on the stock.
The equation for CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketBeta * rpM is the risk premium on stockr = 0.05 + 0.04
r = 0.09 or 9%
The value of the stock can be calculated using the zero growth model of DDM. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. As the dividend from the stock is expected to remain constant through out to an indefinite period, the value of the stock today is,
P0 = Dividend / r
P0 = 1.8 / 0.09
P0 = $20
All of the following statements regarding convertible bonds are true except:_________.
A. Holders of convertible bonds can generally decide whether to convert to stock.
B. Holders of convertible bonds have the potential to profit from increases in stock price.
C. Holders of convertible bonds can choose when to convert to stock.
D. Holders of convertible bonds have the option to not convert and continue receiving bond interest payments and par value at maturity.
E. Holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion.
Answer: Holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion
Explanation:
A convertible bond is a debt security that yields the payment of interest, but can also be converted into equity shares or common stock that are predetermined.
The option that holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion is wrong. This is because the number I shares that will be eventually converted will already have been fixed.
For a certain item, the cost-minimizing order quantity obtained with the basic EOQ model is 200 units, and the total annual inventory (carrying and setup) cost is $400. What is the inventory carrying cost per unit per year for this item? $2.00 $3.00 $150.00 $1.00 not enough data to determine
Answer:
$2 per unit per year
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory carrying cost per unit per year is shown below:
Inventory Carrying cost per unit per year is
= Total Annual Inventory cost ÷ Economic order quantity
= $400 ÷ 200 units
= $2 per unit per year
By dividing the total annual inventory cost from the economic order quantity, the inventory carrying cost could come and the same is to be applied
Hence, the first option is correct
In a transaction for a good valued at $550 by a buyer and $500 by a seller, what percentage sales tax (assume tax on $500) would result in an unconsummated transaction
Answer:
A percentage sales tax that is more than 10% will result in an unconsummated transaction, because the buyer is not willing to pay more than $550 for the good.
Explanation:
A sales tax of 10% will make the good to cost $550 ($500 x 1.1). This is the maximum value placed on the good by the buyer. If the rate of the sales tax exceeds this rate, the buyer will likely not buy the good unless it is an essential good that she cannot do without. So, in levying sales taxes, it is important to understand the demand elasticity of the good. A good whose demand is inelastic is more likely to favor high sales tax rates than a similar good with elastic demand. This elasticity of demand tries to explain the response that demand will generate based on an increase or a decrease in price of a good.
On July 1, Shady Creek Resort borrowed $400,000 cash by signing a 10-year, 9% installment note requiring equal payments each June 30 of $62,328. What is the journal entry to record the first annual payment
Answer:
Journal Entry
Debit Credit
Interest Expense $36,000
Notes Payable $26,328
Cash $62,328
Workings
Interest portion for one year = 400,000 * 9% = $36,000
Total installment paid = $62,328
So, principal portion repaid = $62,328 - $36,000
= $26,328

(Round interim calculations to the nearest cent.) The direct labor rate variance is a.$21,730.60 favorable b.$6,199.13 unfavorable c.$21,730.60 unfavorable d.$6,199.13 favorable
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $6,199.13 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Labor:
Standard hourly labor rate $14.92 per hour
Actual labor hours worked 4,661
Actual total labor costs $75,741
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 75,741/4,661= $16.25
Direct labor rate variance= (14.92 - 16.25)*4,661
Direct labor rate variance= $6,199.13 unfavorable
eally Great Corporation manufactures industrial−sized landscaping trailers and uses budgeted machine−hours to allocate variable manufacturing overhead. The following information pertains to the company's manufacturing overhead data: Budgeted output units 51,000 units Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600 Actual output units produced 35,750 units Actual machine−hours used 14,300 hours Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs $328,900 What is the budgeted variable overhead cost rate per output unit?
Answer:
$7.60 per unit of output
Explanation:
Budgeted output units 51,000 units
Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours
Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600
budgeted variable overhead cost per unit of output = $387,600 / 51,000 units = $7.60 per unit of output
In this case, the applied variable overhead rate = 35,750 units x $7.60 = $271,700, which would have been under-applied since the actual variable overhead costs were much higher, $328,900.

The ratio of sales to invested assets, which is also a factor in the DuPont formula for determining the rate of return on investment, is called
Answer:
Investment turnover
Explanation:
Investment turnover is used to compare the revenue earned by a business to the invested assets (equity or debt). It measures how effectively the business is using investment to generate profit.
The number of times investment is converted to revenue is calculated using this method (that is the turnover).
This metric is used in the Dupont formula.
Dupont formula is a financial ratio that evaluates a company's ability to increase return on equity.

The Basketball Equipment Division can purchase a similar heavy-duty net from an outside vendor for $15.
Required:
a. Determine the negotiable range for the transfer price.
b. What is the minimum transfer price the Netting Division should consider if operating at capacity?
c. What is the maximum transfer price the Basketball Equipment Division should consider?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The negotiable range for the transfer price is lies between the $6 and $18 as the netting division is suffering from losses if the selling price is less than the variable cost per unit but at the same time the maximum price for transferring the product is equivalent to the selling price i.e $18
b. The minimum transfer price is $18 in the case when operating at capacity if it is below than the minimum transfer price is $6
c. The maximum transfer price should be equivalent to the purchase price that is purchased from the outside vendor i.e $15
Bronn tells Jaime, "I really like your armor." Jaime responds, "I will sell it to you for $800." Bronn states, "Sure, and throw in your sword too." Jaime then writes out the contract, detailing only that he will sell Bronn his armor and the sword. He also lists the delivery date for next Wednesday. The next week on the day of performance, Jaime fails to deliver the armor and sword. Bronn sues him for breach of contract, but Jaime claims the contract is not enforceable because it was missing the price. When Bronn filed his lawsuit, which of the following needed to be included in the written contract for enforceability?
a. signature of both parties
b. price subject
c. matter
d. delivery
e. performance
Answer:
B. price subject
Explanation:
For this contract to be enforceable, it must include price, matter and delivery date. These aspects are all best essential and should be included in the contract. From the question when Jaime wrote the contract he failed to detail the price they agreed upon. Even though the rest were included. Therefore this contract cannot be enforced since it is missing this important aspect. Option b is the answer to the question

Discuss three major factors that contribute to an employee's decision to join a union. Discuss the five reasons that have contributed to the trend of decline in unionization g
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Three major factors that contribute to an employee's decision to join a union.
1. Greater Bargaining Power
As an individual employee, it can be difficult to negotiate for wage increase or better working condition generally. However, being a member Union, together the group can negotiate and demand for what they feel is right for their members. In a rare occasion, the threat of a strike by a Union is a great tool to bargain well with the employer.
2. Minimize Discrimination
As a Union, it is easier to demand for equality in terms of wage, working condition, promotion, leave etc. Unlike individual employee, who may be facing discrimination from his or her supervisor as to employee related issue. Union can ensure the management used the right policies that seek for equality among all its employees without favoritism or discrimination.
3. Sense of Security
An employee may join the Union on the basis that, Union can save them against abrupt dismissal or other types of work insecurities including accident, injury, illness etc.
Also, Union can help secure retirement benefits and ensure the management improve on the employees' welfare generally.
Five reasons that have contributed to the trend of decline in unionization
1. Irrelevance appearance of the Union:
Many workers believe that Union is not necessary because in the time of economic boom, getting wage increase and other working benefits can be gotten be individual employee and not necessarily through a Union, and at the same time, during economic downturn, unions often times don't have the capacity to protect their members from layoffs, wage and benefit reductions and tougher working conditions.
2. Poor Image of the Union:
Many employers and employees tend to view union with negativity, in the sense that, often times, their demands can be unreasonable, and are characterized by issue of labor racketeering, mob influence and embezzlement.
3. Unions are Seen as Political:
For some employees, they believe that Union tend to use their money or Union dues to support a political candidate. This in turn has made some employees who are neutral, not wanting to join the Union.
4. Reliance on goverment:
Many employees now believe that, government, not Union gives better form of security and voice to air their opinions. These includes pensions, healthcare, protection.
5. Global competition and deregulation in Unionized industries:
Since most of the companies or industries that have union has been deregulated, this has increased its competition, there by, making the need for union not really necessary, because with or without Union, one may still faces sack.
In its most recent annual report, Appalachian Beverages reported current assets of $70,300 and a current ratio of 1.90. Assume that the following transactions were completed:_________.
(1) purchased merchandise for $6,700 on account and (2) purchased a delivery truck for $10,000, paying $2,000 cash and signing a two-year promissory note for the balance.
Compute the updated current ratio (round answers to 2 decimal places)Transaction (1) ________________Transaction (2) ________________I am not sure how to do this problem, I understand how to general compute the current ration:________.Current raion= currenct assets/current liabilitiesbut how do you do compute an update?If someone could show me how to do this correctly, I will award them lifesaver.
Answer:
Appalachian Beverages
With reported current assets of $70,300 and a current ratio of 1.90, one can work out the current liabilities from these two. The current liabilities are equal to $70,300/1.90 - $37,000. To work back, one can state that current ratio equals $70,300/$37,000 = 1.90.
Having ascertained the value of the former current liabilities, one can use the information to update the two parameters for calculating the current ratio as follows:
Current liabilities increased by $6,700 from purchase of merchandise on account and of a delivery truck by $8,000. So, the updated current liabilities equal to $37,000 + 6,700 + 8,000 = $51,700. Similarly, the current assets decreased by $2,000 for the part-payment for the delivery truck. Thus, current assets are now equal to $68,300 ($70,300 - 2,000).
Having updated the two parameters, one can then compute the updated current ratio as follows:
Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities = $68,300/$51,700 = 1.32.
Explanation:
Appalachian Beverages' current ratio shows the relationship between current assets and current liabilities and the ability of the entity to settle current liabilities with current assets.

Your auto dealer gives you the choice to pay $15,500 cash now, or make three payments: $8,200 now, $4,200 in one year and $3,200 in two years. If your cost of money (discount rate) is 7.25%, what is the PV of the installment plan?
Answer:
The answer is $14,898.07
Explanation:
Assume that the cost of money (discount rate) of 7.25% is on annual basis.
Present value (PV) of the installment plan is:
PV = Down payment + PV(first installment) + PV(second installment)
= $8,200 + $4,200 / (1 + 7.25%) + $3,200 / (1 + 7.25%)^2 = $14,898.07
Obviously, the three payments option is more lucrative than the 100% down payment one.
