Explanation:

A capital lease is a type of lease in which the lesser financed only the asset and all other ownership rights would be transferred to the lessee

In the given situation, the 12-year capital lease is equivalent to the annual lease payment at minimum cost

This payment involves the interest and the reduction amount

Now in the year 10 the reduction made to the lease liability should be more than in the year 8

Answer:

a) The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing

Explanation:

The Feds fund rate is the rate at which banks borrow from each other usually overnight, while the discount rate is the interest rate charged by the Fed to commercial banks for borrowing directly from the Fed.

These borrowings help the commercial banks meet up their liquidity requirements.

The discount rate is higher than the Fed funds rate. This is to encourage banks to borrow from each other instead of borrowing directly from the Federal Reserve.

The Fed fund rate also tends to affect the prime lending rate (rate at which banks lend money to their clients).

So the statement - The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing. Is not correct

Answer:

Total Dollar Return -$1,116

Explanation:

Calculation for the total dollar return on this investment

First step is to find the Total Selling Price using this formula

Total Selling Price= Shares purchased *Price per share sold

Let plug in the

Total Selling Price= 300*4.80

Total Selling Price= $1,440

The next step is to calculate for the total dollar return the investment using this formula

Total Dollar Return = Selling Price +Annual Dividend - Purchase Price

Let plug in the formula

Total Dollar Return = $1,440 + (300 shares ×$0.10 per share) - (300 shares *$8.62 per share)

Total Dollar Return=$1,440+$30-$2,586

Total Dollar Return = -$1,116

Therefore the total dollar return on this investment will be -$1,116

Answer:

146,000 units

Explanation:

The computation of units must the company produce is shown below:-

As we know that

Units sold = opening inventory + units produced - Closing inventory

So,

Units Produced = Units sold - opening inventory + Closing inventory

= 140,000 - 34,000 + 40,000

= 146,000 units

Hence, the number of units produced by the company is 146,000 units

Answer:

9.68%

Explanation:

Percent Return on Investment is calculated as Net Profit / Cost of Investment x 100

Net Profit= $46,620 (1,000 x $46.62 per share) + $950 (1,000 x $.95 per share) - $43,370 (1,000 x $43.37 per share) = $4,200

Cost of Investment= $43,370 (1,000 x $43.37 per share)

Percent Return on Investment=  $4,200 / $43,370 x 100 = 9.68%

Answer:

Based on the results, Adviser A's choice of stocks yielded a greater excess return. Thus, he was a better stock picker.

Adviser A's excess return = 3%

Adviser B's excess return = 0.04%  

Explanation:

To compare the performance of the two stock advisers, we first need to determine the required or expected rate of return of both the portfolios.

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the expected rate of return for each portfolio.

The equation for CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

Adviser A

r = 0.05 + 1.5 * (0.13 - 0.05)

r = 0.17 or 17%

The required rate of return of Adviser A's portfolio was 17% while his portfolio yielded a return of 20% on average. The excess return on the portfolio was 20 - 17 = 3%

Adviser B

r = 0.05 + 1.2 * (0.13 - 0.05)

r = 0.146 or 14.6%

The required rate of return of Adviser B's portfolio was 14.6% while his portfolio yielded a return of 15% on average. The excess return on the portfolio was 15 - 14.6 = 0.04%

Based on the results, Adviser A's choice of stocks yielded a greater excess return. Thus, he was a better stock picker.

Answer:

Expected return on the portfolio = $3,879.00

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Stock   Number of Shares   Price per Share  Expected Return  Expected

                                                                                                       Value

F                   310                         $ 40                   13.32 %           $1,651.68

G                  315                         $ 26                   10.05 %            $823.09

H                 255                         $ 52                   10.59 %          $1,404.23

Total           880                                                                          $3,879.00

b) The expected return on the portfolio is the addition of the expected returns of each class of shares.  This is obtained by multiplying the number of shares in each class with the price and the expected return in percentage.  This gives a weighted value for the class of shares, which are then added to obtain the expected return on the portfolio.

Answer:

C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.

Explanation:

In the case noted in the question above, there is a situation that could be unpleasant if it were decided by some type of bias.

Therefore, the most appropriate alternative for the team to address this situation would be to create a rotating assignment for each team member to share the notes. This way it would not happen that a team member is always chosen to perform a task that causes dissatisfaction in the whole team. Creating a rotating assignment to carry out the task would guarantee the uniformity of the task assignment and avoid possible dissatisfactions, inequalities and interpersonal conflicts that could arise.

Answer:

a. True.

Explanation:

In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.

In Financial accounting, Horizontal analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially. Hence, it is also referred to as the trend analysis.

Under the horizontal analysis of financial statement, we use the financial statements of two or more periods; earliest and latter periods.

Generally, the earliest is chosen as the base period while all other items on the statement for a latter period will be compared with the items on the statement of the base period.

Explanation:

Retained earnings is what is left of net income after a company has paid out dividends to its shareholders.

Answer: A. Sales-type lease

Explanation:

A Sales type lease is one where the present value of all the lease payments of the Asset being leased is more than the cost/ carrying amount of the Asset.

The present value of the lease Payments is the Fair Value of the asset and as seen from the question, the fair value of the asset is more than the cost of the Asset. The lease will therefore be accounted for as a Sales type lease by the lessor.

It is worthy of note that this entry affects only the lessor.

Answer:

a) the holding period return (HPR) for the first 4 months = ($106 - $100) / $100 = 6%

b) the holding period return (HPR) for the next 5 months = ($107 - $106) / $106 = 0.94%

c) the holding period return (HPR) for the 9 months period = ($107 - $100) / $100 = 7%

The holding period return measures the total return on an investment over a certain period of time. It does not necessarily calculate annual returns, since the holding period can be more or less than 1 year.  

Answer:

C. nonstructured

Explanation:

-Recurring decision refers to a decision that has to be made regularly.

-Ad hoc decision refers to a decision made for a specific situation.

-Structured decision is when you make a decision using a process that has been established to manage a specific situation.

According to this, the answer is that in a(n) nonstructured decision, there may be several "right" answers, and there is no precise way to get a right answer.

Answer:

$140,000

Explanation:

Sam corporation purchased a plot of land for $100,000

The cost to raze a building on the property is $50,000

Sam received $10,000 from the sale of scrap materials

$800,000 was spent by Sam to build a new plant in the site

The excavation costs was $30,000

Therefore, the amount that Samm should capitalize in its land account can be calculated as follows

= cost of land+ cost to raze a building on the property - sale of scrape materials

= $100,000 + $50,000 - $10,000

= $150,000-$10,000

= $140,000

Hence Samm should capitalize $140,000 in its land account.

Answer:

After tax cost of debt = 0.049 or 4.9%

Explanation:

The after tax cost of debt is the rate of debt after deducting the benefit from tax savings due to interest payments required by the debt which are deductible before calculating tax. The after tax cost of debt is somewhat an effective cost of debt. It is calculated using the following formula,

After tax cost of debt = Cost of debt * (1 - tax rate)

After tax cost of debt = 0.07 * (1 - 0.3)

After tax cost of debt = 0.049 or 4.9%

Answer:

150000

Explanation:

The question says that Harry received a fair market value = 450000 dollars

Meanwhile he transferred 650000 dollars of assets

Fair value of assets = 650000 - 200000 = 450000

Harry's adjusted basis = 350000

Therefore the share received will be:

350,000 - 200,000

= 150,000 dollars.

Harry's basis in the stock received from the corporation is $150,000.

Answer:

the bond's real return for the year is 6.18 %.

Explanation:

First find the nominal return of the bond then the real return as follows :

PV = - $946.02

Pmt = $1,000 × 5.10% = $51

P/yr = 1

FV = $979.58

n = 1

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the nominal return of the bond, r is 8.9385 %.

Real Return = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate) -1

                   =  (1 + 0.089395) / (1 + 0.026) - 1

                   = 0.0618 or 6.18 %

Answer:

neither sticky wage theory nor sticky price theory

Explanation:

People had been expecting the price level to be 140 but it turns out to be 138. Johnson Family Restaurants increases the number of workers it employs. Sticky wage theory nor sticky price theory could explain this.

Sticky wages are a result of a number of factors, including the minimum wage, employee contracts, labor unions, the efficiency wage theory, and the expense of hiring and terminating employees. It is challenging to exit a recession when wages and prices are stuck, creating a vicious cycle.

A theoretical market condition known as "stickiness" occurs when a certain nominal price resists change. Stickiness, also known as price stickiness, is a term that is frequently used to describe market prices even though it frequently refers to wages.

Many economists think that prices are "sticky" and that they change gradually. According to them, this stickiness indicates that changes in the money supply have an effect on the real economy, causing changes in investment, employment, output, and consumption. Policymakers can take advantage of this effect.
