Answer:

future liabilities:

$1,000 in 6 months

$1,000 in 1 year

Present value of bond I (due in 6 months):

PV = $1,000 / (1 + 3%) = $970.87

Present value of bond II (due in 1 year):

PV = $1,000 / (1 + 3.5%)² = $933.51

The price of the bonds is determined by the annual yield rate (YTM), not the coupon rate. Joe will pay $970.87 for bond I and $933.51 for bond II.

Answer:

b. central tendency error

Explanation:

Central tendency error is the error in which the rater propensity could place the most items on the middle side of the rating scale. In this the employer puts the employees based on the performance i.e it varies from 4 to 7, 8 to 10, 1 to 3, etc

Therefore in the given situation, when the rate of assessors determined the rate for all workers as an average so the central tendency occurs

Hence, the correct option is b.

Answer:

her long-run average cost of selling each Italian ice decreases.

Explanation:

Economies of scale is when a firm produces more units of goods or services on a much larger scale, with very little input cost(average cost). Invariably, this implies that the production units of a firm increases as it grows while having a decreased input costs.

A firm will experience economies of scale in the long run if it's average total costs(cost per unit required for production which remains the same irrespective of output) decreases as it increases its scale of production.

Answer:

Selling price= $2.65

Explanation:

Because it is a special offer, and there is unused capacity, we will take into account only the incremental fixed costs.

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= 90,000/50,000= $1.8

Now, we can determine the total unitary cost and the selling price per unit:

Total unitary cost= (4,250/5,000) + 1.8= $2.65

Selling price= $2.65

Answer:

Prentice net sales for the period is ;

e. $172,550

Explanation:

The data below were extracted from the information above;

Cash sales = $94,275

Credit sales = $83,450

Sales returns and allowances = $1,700

Sales discount = $3,475

Therefore, Prentice's net sales for the period

= Cash sales + Credit sales - Sales returns and allowances - discounts

= $94,275 + $83,450 - $1700 - $3,475

= $172,550

Answer:

$15.66 per carton

Explanation:

118,000 cartons of machine screws

equipment cost $785,000

depreciation per year = $785,000 / 5 = $157,000

fixed manufacturing costs $415,000 per year

variable costs per carton = $10.05 x 118,000 = $1,185,900

initial investment in net working capital $68,000

tax rate 24%

discount rate 12%

price per carton?

initial investment = -$853,000

CF₁ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₂ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₃ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₄ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₅ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 + $68,000 = 0.76R + $1,110,320

$853,000 = (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12 + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12² + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12³ + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12⁴ + (0.76R + $1,110,320 ) / 1.12⁵ = 0.6786R - $1,052,071.43 + 0.6059R - $939,349.49 + 0.541R - $838,704.90 + 0.483R - $748,943.66 + 0.4312R + $630,025.39

$853,000 = 2.7397R - $4,209,094.87

$5,062,094.87 = 2.7397R

R = $5,062,094.87 / 2.7397 = $1,847,682.18

total revenue = $1,847,682.18

Answer:

a. to indicate where changes in technology and machinery need to be made.

Explanation:

Standard cost in business management refers to the amount of money a product is supposed to cost in manufacturing it. It is a management tool that can be used to measure efficiency in the level of output or production of goods and services at a specific period of time.

In Financial accounting, the difference between the actual cost of each unit of a product and its standard cost is referred to as variance. In order to determine the standard cost of a product, the expected quantity of the product is multiplied by an expected price.

Standard costs are used in companies for a variety of reasons such as;

1. Standard costs are used to estimate the cost of inventory.

2. Standard costs are used to plan direct materials, direct labor, and variable factory overhead.

3. Standard costs are used to control costs.

However, standard costs cannot be used to indicate where changes in technology and machinery need to be made rather an actual cost should be used.

Additionally, the standard cost of each unit of a product manufactured in a business firm is categorized into two (2) and these are;

1. Price standard.

2. Quantity standard.

Answer:

Liquidity of an asset refers to how easily convertible the asset is to cash or so called liquid money.

Most Liquid - A $5 bill

This is already cash so it is the most liquid there is.

Second-Most Liquid  - The funds in a money market account

Funds in a money market account are the second most liquid because most often they can simply be withdrawn from the fund. There might be limits on the number of withdrawals allowed though within a period.

Third-Most Liquid  -  A share in a publicly traded company

A share in a publicly trade company ranks here because to realize the cash, one would need to sell the share first.

Least Liquid - Your house

Your house will be the most difficult of these to liquidate as it will involve a much longer process to eventually get it sold and realize cash. The process will include but will not be limited to, advertising, hiring realtors, inspection etc.

Explanation:

Answer: $66,150

Explanation:

The leadoff event is priced at $23 out of the $78 and the rest of the 5 events will be priced equally.

This means that after the first event, the other 5 will cumulatively be valued at;

= (78 - 23)/5

= $11

The other events are priced at $11 each.

For the first 3 events therefore;

First event = $23 and the other 2 events are $11 each;

= 23 + 11 + 11

= $45

Tickets sold are 1,470;

Revenue from first 3 = 45 * 1,470

= $66,150

Answer:

a. Harry will recognize $0.

b. Sally will also recognize $0.

c. By selling the equipment to an unrelated party and by contributing $150,000 to the partnership instead.

d. Harry's tax basis in his partnership interest is $130,000.

e. Sally's tax basis in her partnership interest is $200,000

f. Evergreen's tax basis in its assets is $330,000

g. Total assets = Total Capital = $330,000

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together and they are first sorted before answering the questions as follows:

Harry:                                                      Basis             Fair Market Value

Cash                                                     $30,000                   $30,000

Land                                                      100,000                  120,000  

Totals                                                  $130,000                $150,000

Sally:

Equipment used in a business           200,000                    150,000

Totals                                                $200,000                  $150,000

The explanations to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. How much gain or loss will Harry recognize on the contribution?

Harry will recognize $0 because he did not have any debt relief.

The reason is that gain on property contributed by a partner to a partnership will be recognized only when the debt relief they seemed to have received is greater than their basis in the partnership before the distribution.

Since Harry did not have any debt relief, he will therefore recognize $0.

b. How much gain or loss will Sally recognize on the contribution?

Sally will also recognize $0.

It is possible that when partners contributes property to a partnership, loss may not be recognized even if they have debt relief. Therefore, it not in all cases that loss are recognized.

c. How could the transaction be structured a different way to get a better result for Sally?

This transaction could be structured differently if Sally decides to sell the equipment to an unrelated party and then make a cash contribution of $150,000 to the partnership instead of contributing the equipment. As a result of this, it will be possible for Sally to recognize the built-in loss on the equipment by selling it.

d. What is Harry's tax basis in his partnership interest?

The basis of Harry in his partnership interest can be obtained by adding his contribution of cash and land to the partnership as follows:

Harry's tax basis = $30,000 + $100,000 = $130,000.

Therefore, Harry's tax basis in his partnership interest is $130,000.

e. What is Sally's tax basis in her partnership interest?

This is simply the amount of her contribution of $200,000 basis in the equipment.

Therefore, Sally's tax basis in her partnership interest is $200,000.

f. What is Evergreen's tax basis in its assets?

This can be calculated by adding the Harry's basis in cash and land of $30,000 and $100,000 respectively together with Sally's basis in equipment of $200,000 as follows:

Evergreen's tax basis in its assets = $30,000 + $100,000 + $200,000 = $330,000

Therefore, Evergreen's tax basis in its assets is $330,000.

e. Prepare a tax basis balance sheet for the Evergreen partnership showing the tax basis capital accounts for the partners.

This can be prepared as follows:

Evergreen partnership

Answer:

Liabilities at the end of the year were: $15,000.

Explanation:

Using the Accounting Equation : Assets = Equity + Liability

Then we know that,

Liability = Assets - Equity

Opening Balance of Liabilities ( $30,000 - $20,000)               = $10,000

Adjustment during the year ($20,000 - ($45,000 - $30,000)) = $5,000

Answer:

Use goal seek to answer this question. All else equals, to have a net income of 20,000, the COGS margin percentage must be 40%, and the gross profit must be $17,250.

Explanation:

The income statement is missing, so I looked it up and the information given was:

Since COGS are$40,000 and total sales are $100,000, the COGS margin percentage = 40,000 / 100,000 = 40%

Since earnings before taxes are $23,000 and taxes are 25%, then net income = $23,000 x (1 - 25%) = $23,000 x 75% = $17,250

Answer:

When the Fed raises the federal funds rate, the inflation rate decreases about two years later.

Explanation:

When trying to stimulate the economy either by increasing or decreasing, policymakers have to take into consideration how it would effect interest rate, amount of money available in the economy, loans that would be acquired by banks and the behavior of interest rate.

Interest rate can be impacted quickly even though the period of time it would take for such action to have a reflection on what quantity of money is available in the economy. Then also a period of 2 years would be taken for this action to take effect on inflation.

Therefore

When the Fed raises the federal funds rate, the inflation rate decreases about two years later.

Answer: 1.90

Explanation:

The Government Purchases Multiplier given the variables is given by the expression;

Government Purchases Multiplier = [tex]\frac{1}{1 -(MPC ( 1 -T) - MPI)}[/tex]

Where MPC is the Marginal Propensity to Consume,

T is tax rate and,

MPI is the Marginal Propensity to Import

Government Purchases Multiplier = [tex]\frac{1}{1 -(MPC ( 1 -T) - MPI)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{1 -(0.9 ( 1 -0.25) - 0.2)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{ 1 - 0.475}[/tex]

= 1.90
