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.
Schwartzkopf Co. purchased for $2,088,000 property that included both land and a building to be used in operations. The seller's book value was $294,000 for the land and $986,000 for the building. By appraisal, the fair value was estimated to be $826,355 for the land and $2,023,145 for the building. At what amount should Schwartzkopf report the land and the building at the end of the year?
Answer:
Cost allocated to land=$605,520
Cost allocated to building=$1,482,480
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Schwartzkopf should report the land and the building at the end of the year
A. Calculation for Cost allocated to land
Using this formula
Cost allocated to land=Fair value of land/
Fair value of building and land×Cost
Let plug in the formula
Cost allocated to land=$826,355/($2,023,145+$826,355)×$2,088,000
Cost allocated to land=$826,355/$2,849,500×$2,088,000
Cost allocated to land=0.29×$2,088,000
Cost allocated to land=$605,520
Therefore the Cost allocated to land will be $605,520
B. Calculation for Cost allocated to building
Using this formula
Cost allocated to building=Fair value of land/
Fair value of building and land×Cost
Let plug in the formula
Cost allocated to building=$2,023,145/$2,023,145+$826,355)×$2,088,000
Cost allocated to building=$2,023,145/$2,849,500×$2,088,000
Cost allocated to building=0.71×$2,088,000
Cost allocated to building=$1,482,480
Therefore Cost allocated to building will be $1,482,480
Suppose we have the following information for 2008: Potential output: $17 trillion Actual output: $16 trillion Actual Deficit: $ 500 billion Tax Rate: 15% What is the structural deficit in 2008
Answer:
The structural budget in 2008 is $350 billion
Explanation:
Actual deficit = Government spending - Tax Revenue Collection
i.e Actual deficit = G-T
T = (Tax rate) (Actual output)
$500 billion = G - (0.15)($16 trillion)
$500 billion = G - 2400 billion
G = $500 billion + 2400 billion
G = $2900 billion
Thus, Government spending is $2900 billion
Structural deficit = G - T'
T' = (Tax rate)(Potential output)
T' = (0.15)(17000 billion)
T' = $2550 billion
Structural deficit = G - T'
Structural deficit = $2900 billion - $2550 billion
Structural deficit = $350 billion
Thus, the structural budget in 2008 is $350 billion

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
Owen expects to receive at the end of next year from a trust fund. If a bank loans money at an interest rate of , how much money can he borrow from the bank on the basis of this information?
Answer: a) $18,605
Explanation:
The amount he can borrow today will be an amount that when grown at a rate of 7.5% per year will equal $20,000 in a year.
20,000 = Amount + ( Amount * rate * time)
20,000 = Amount + (7.5% * Amount)
2,000,000 = 1.075 * Amount
Amount = $18,605
Concord Corporation had 2020 net income of $809,000. During 2020, Concord paid a dividend of $2 per share on 60,500 shares of preferred stock. During 2020, Concord had outstanding 215,000 shares of common stock.
Required:
Compute Concord's 2020 earnings per share.
Answer:
$3.2 per share
Explanation:
Earnings per share = Net income - (preferred stock shares × dividend paid] ÷ Outstanding shares of common stock
= [($809,000 - ( 60,500 × $2 per share)] ÷ 215,000
= [$809,000 - ( $121,000)] ÷ 215,000
= $809,000 - $121,000 ÷ 215,000
= $688,000 ÷ 215,000
= $3.2 per share

b. cannot place the order because the order size exceeds the ADTV.
c. should inform the client that the firm may not be able to borrow the stock.
d. sholud inform the client that the order can only be executed on an up-bid.
Answer:
c. should inform the client that the firm may not be able to borrow the stock.

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.
Unemployment numbers drop as more jobless Americans find positions in local businesses. Which determinant of aggregate demand causes the change
Answer: Consumer Spending
Explanation:
As more Americans find jobs, they will be able to earn an income. As they do so they will be able to spend more on goods and services in the economy thereby increasing Consumption spending which is the largest determinant of Aggregate Demand.
As a result of this increase in Consumption, Aggregate demand will change by increasing as well.
Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return A 1.16 .1137 B .92 .0984 Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the return on the market
Answer: 10.35%
Explanation:
The Capital Asset Pricing Model is used to calculate the expected return of a security with the expression
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta ( Market return - risk free rate)
( Market return - risk free rate) is also known as the market premium and can be calculated by;
= [tex]\frac{Expected return on A - Expected return on B}{Beta for A - Beta for B}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.1137 - 0.0934}{1.16 - 0.92}[/tex]
= 0.0153/0.24
= 6.375%
= 6.38%
Expected return A = Risk free rate + Beta A ( Market return - risk free rate)
0.1137 = Risk free rate + 1.16 (6.38%)
Risk free rate = 0.1137 - 1.16(6.38%)
Risk free rate = 3.97%
Market Expected return = Market Risk Premium + risk free rate
= 6.38% + 3.97%
= 10.35%
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.

Whether the producers of substitutes have ample budgets for new product R
Answer: c. Whether attractively priced substitutes are readily available and the ease with which buyers can switch to substitutes
Explanation:
Substitute products are the product that can be used in place of another identical product e.g butter and margarine.
Just how strong the competitive pressures are from substitute products depends on whether attractively priced substitutes are readily available and the ease with which buyers can switch to substitutes.
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
Pattison Corporation is a service company that measures its output by the number of customers served. The company has provided the following fixed and variable cost estimates that it uses for budgeting purposes. Fixed Element per Month Variable Element per Customer Served Revenue $5,500 Employee salaries and wages $46,300 $1,000 Travel expenses $ 500 Other expenses $32,500 When the company prepared its planning budget at the beginning of May, it assumed that 20 customers would have been served. However, 17 customers were actually served during May. The activity variance for "Travel expenses" for May would have been closest to:
Answer:
Pattison Corporation
Activity Variance for "Travel expenses" for May would have been closest to:
$1,500 Favorable
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Fixed Element Variable Element per
per Month Customer Served
Revenue $5,500
Employee salaries
and wages $46,300 $1,000
Travel expenses $ 500
Other expenses $32,500
The Travel Expenses Activity Variance = Actual cost minus budgeted cost
= $8,500 - $10,000
= $1,500 Favorable
Actual travel expenses = ($500 x 17)
= $8,500
Budgeted travel expenses = ($500 x 20)
= $10,000
Pattison Corporation's activity variance for Travel Expenses for the month of May is the difference between the actual travel expenses and the budgeted travel expenses. The budgeted expenses are based on budgeted number of customers served in May while the actual expenses are based on actual number of customers served in May.
Say the marginal tax rate is 30 percent and that government expenditures do not change with output. Say also that the economy is at potential output and that the deficit is $200 billion.Required:a. What is the size of the cyclical deficit?b. What is the size of the structural deficit?c. How would your answers to a and b change if the deficit was still $200 billion but output was $200 billion below potential?d. How would your answers to a and b change if the deficit was still $200 billion but output was $100 billion above potential?
Answer:
a. The Cyclical deficit refers to the deficit arising from the difference between the potential output and the actual output.
The question assumes that the economy is producing at potential which means actual output equals potential output.
Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)
Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * 0
Cyclical Deficit = $0
b. Structural deficit occurs even when the economy is at potential because it refers to Government deficits that happen when the economy is experiencing normal activity.
Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit
Structural Deficit = 200 billion - 0
Structural Deficit = $200 billion
c. Output is $200 billion below potential
Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)
Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * 200
Cyclical Deficit = $60 billion
Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit
Structural Deficit = 200 billion - 60
Structural Deficit = $140 billion
d. Output is $100 billion above potential
Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)
Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * -100 as actual is above potential
Cyclical Deficit = -$30 billion
Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit
Structural Deficit = 200 billion - (-30)
Structural Deficit = $230 billion

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.
Margaret’s car loan statement said that she would pay $7,683.20 in interest for a 5-year loan at an interest rate of 9.8%. Assuming this is an example of simple interest, how much did Margaret borrow to buy the car?
Answer: $15680
Explanation:
Principal = Unknown
Time = 5 years
Rate = 9.8%
Simple interest = $7683.20
Simple interest= PRT/100
7683.20 = (P × 9.8 × 5)/100
7683.20 = 49P/100
Cross multiply
768320 = 49P
P = 768320/49
Principal = $15680
Margaret borrowed $15680 to buy the car.

The firm has a target debt-equity (D/E) ratio of 0.76. Its cost of equity is 15.3 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 9 percent. What is the WACC given a tax rate of 21 percent
Answer:
11.76%
Explanation:
The computation of the Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is shown below:
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)+ (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= (0.76 ÷ 1.76 × 9%) × ( 1 - 21%) + (1 ÷ 1.76 × 15.3%)
= 3.07% + 8.69%
= 11.76%
Hence, the WACC is 11.76%
We simply multiplied the weight of capital stucture with its cost

Explanation:
he 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.

Moe has entered into a contract with Larry. Subsequently, Moe assigns his rights in that contract to Curly. Which of the following would not prevent that assignment? Multiple Choice The assignment would violate public policy matters. The contract contains an anti-assignment clause. Larry protests the assignment and demands that Moe not make the assignment. The assignment would materially alter Larry's duties and cause an increased burden or risk to Larry.
Answer:
Larry protests the assignment and demands that Moe not make the assignment.
Explanation:
An assignment is defined as the transfer of the responsibility of performing a task or contract to another person.
In this instance Moe is trying to assign the contract he has with Larry to Curly.
Curly will now take responsibility for the execution of the contract.
Assignment is allowed if performance of the task is assured, and the other party has no grounds to object if performance will not be affected.
The situation where the assignment will not be prevented is when Larry protests the assignment and demands that Moe not make the assignment.
However the assignment can be prevented if there is an anti-assignment clause, violate public policy, or materially alter Larry's duties and cause an increased burden or risk to Larry.

Using the constant-growth DDM, the value of the stock is _________. A. $150 B. $50 C. $100 D. $200
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Caribou Gold Mining Corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $6 in the upcoming year. Dividends are expected to decline at the rate of 3% per year. The risk-free rate of return is 5%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. The stock of Caribou Gold Mining Corporation has a beta of .5. Using the constant-growth DDM, the intrinsic value of the stock is _________. A. $150 B. $50 C. $100 D. $200
Answer:
$50
Explanation:
Caribou Gold mining corporation is expected to make a dividend payment of $6 next year
Dividend are expected to decline at a rate of 3%
= 3/100
= 0.03
The risk free rate of return is 5%
= 5/100
= 0.05
The expected return on the market portfolio is 13%
= 13/100
= 0.13
The beta is 0.5
The first step is to calculate the expected rate of return
= 0.05+0.5(0.13-0.05)
= 0.05+0.5(0.08)
= 0.05+0.04
= 0.09
Therefore, the intrinsic value of the stock using the constant growth DDM model can be calculated as follows
Vo= 6/(0.09+0.03)
Vo= 6/0.12
Vo= $50
Hence the intrinsic value of the stock is $50
