Answer:
1. A
2. C
Explanation:
For part (1), any type of financial crisis can lead to a recession (Like the one in 2008 as well) and cause the wealth and income to fall, reducing the purchasing and spending power of the people and ultimately leading to an increase in unemployment. This is because businesses will cutoff their employees and this will cause unemployment and the people who would be lucky enough to still get a job will be hired on a very low income which will ultimately reduce spending as well.
Th opposite will happen in the other case (2), as there will be expansion if there in increase in wealth, investiture, consumption, production output and employment.
Hope this Helps.
Answer 1:
The correct answer is A)
Recessions are mostly caused by a lack of circulation of money in the economy.
Explanation:
In economic parlance, this shortage is captured as:
Shortage in government spending thus translating to low circulation of money as businesses that depend on the government experience low transactions. Please note that in many cases, the Government is the largest spender.
Shortage of Investment leading to low employment which ultimately reduces disposable income.
Answer 2
The correct answer here is C
An increase in investment goes hand in hand with an increase in consumption, output, and employment.
If for instance, the government makes capital available through the banks a very low-interest rate, this will encourage businesses to leverage off the cheap capital to expand, acquire new technologies, and employ more hands to become more competitive and more dominant in the market.
So a new invention will translate to expansion if
businesses are willing to invest in it;consumers are willing to buy it;the invention translates into increased output and lastly, if through the invest, businesses are willing to employ more labor to cater to the expansion in demandCheers!
You are considering investing $1,000 in a complete portfolio. The complete portfolio is composed of treasury bills that pay 5% and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with 2 risky securities X and Y. The optimal weights of X and Y in P are 60% and 40% respectively. X has an expected rate of return of 14% and Y has an expected rate of return of 12%. To form a complete portfolio with an expected rate of return of 11%, you should invest __________ of your complete portfolio in treasury bills. 19% 26.8% 36% 50%
Answer:
You should invest 26.8% of your complete portfolio in treasury bills to earn an expected rate of return of 11% on a complete portfolio.
Explanation:
To begin with, first we have to calculate the return of P portfolio consisting of X and Y securities.
Expected Return (ER) = (Weight of X*Return of X) + ( Weight of Y*Return of Y)
ER = (0.6*0.14) + (0.4*0.12)
ER = 0.084 + 0.048
ER = 0.132 or 13.2%
Now, we have to compute the weight of treasury bills in complete portfolio:
ER = (Weight of TB*Return of TB) + (Weight of P*Return of P)
ER = (wTB * rTB) + (wP * rP)
ER= (wTB * rTB) + rP * (1-wTB)
0.11 = (wTB * 0.05) + 0.132*(1-wTB)
0.11= 0.05wTB + 0.132 - 0.132wTB
0.11 = -0.082wTB + 0.132
Let's make the Weight of Treasury Bills subject:
0.082wTB = 0.132 - 0.11
0.082wTB = 0.022
wTB = 0.022/0.082
Weight of Treasury Bills = 0.268 or 26.8%
Your study partner argues that the distinction between the government’s budget deficit and debt is similar to the distinction between consumer savings and wealth. He also argues that if you have large budget deficits, you must have a large debt. In what ways is your study partner correct and in what ways is he incorrect?
Answer:
Your study partner is correct that the distinction between government’s budget deficit and debt is similar to the distinction between consumer savings and wealth.
Savings and deficits are actions that take place over time, they dont happen overnight . When any government is spending more than it receives in tax revenue in a particular time period, this governmemt will be running a budget deficit. On the other hand, when consumers spend less than their disposable income in a particular time period, they are saving.
However, both debt and wealth are measured at one point in time. When the government runs a budget deficit, the deficit is almost always financed by borrowing, which adds to its debt. This is also Similar to consumers who accumulate wealth by saving.
We can also say that your study partner is wrong in that the government can run a large budget deficit and have a small debt if it hasn’t run large deficits in the past.

Magic Milling Company has 9% annual coupon bonds that are callable and have 18 years left until maturity. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, and their current market price is $1,100.35. However, Magic Milling may call the bonds in eight years at a call price of $1,060. What are the YTM and the yield to call (YTC) on Magic Milling’s bonds?
Final answer:
The Yield to Maturity (YTM) and Yield to Call (YTC) on Magic Milling's Bonds are approximately 9.66% and 6.08% respectively.
Explanation:
The Yield to Maturity (YTM) and Yield to Call (YTC) on Magic Milling's Bonds
The yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return expected on a bond if it is held until maturity. To calculate the YTM, we need to use the current market price, the coupon rate, and the time left until maturity. In this case, the YTM would be approximately 9.66%.
The yield to call (YTC) is the total return expected on a bond if the bond is called before maturity. To calculate the YTC, we need to use the current market price, the call price, the coupon rate, and the time left until the call date. In this case, the YTC would be approximately 6.08%.

Explanation:
On November 1, Wright Co. borrowed $20,000 cash from Third Bank by signing a 90-day, 6% interest-bearing note.
On December 31, Wright recorded an adjusting entry to interest expense of $200.
On January 30, the due date of the note, Wright will record the payment with a debit to Interest Expense in the amount of $ _______.
On January 30, the due date of the note, Wright will record the payment with a debit to Interest Expense in the amount of $100.
Explanation:
On November 1, Wright Co. borrowed $20,000 cash from the Third Bank by signing a 90-day, and 6% of interest-bearing note.On December 31, it was recorded an adjusting entry to interest expense of $200.On January 30, which is the due date of the note, Wright will record the payment with a debit to Interest Expense in the amount of $100.Interest expense is an expense which is known as a non-operating expense which is shown on the income statement. It also represents interest payable amount when it is borrowed. For Example, bonds,convertible debt, loans or lines of creditThe main difference between the interest expense and the interest paid is that the discount amount and this difference changes the net amount of bond liability. Interest expense is an amount determined by the interest rate on an account.Arthur is a 30 percent partner in the CAR Partnership. At the beginning of the tax year, Arthur's basis in the partnership interest was $60,000, including his share of partnership liabilities. During the current year, CAR reported net ordinary income of $40,000. In addition, CAR distributed $5,000 to each of the partners ($15,000 total). At the end of the year, Arthur's share of partnership liabilities increased by $20,000. Arthur's basis in the partnership interest at the end of the year is:a. $60,000.b. $120,000.c. $87,000.d. $75,000.e. None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
c. $87,000
Explanation:
The computation of the Arthur's basis in the partnership interest at the end of the year is shown below:
= His share of partnership liabilities + net operating income share + increased share in liabilities - distributed amount
= $60,000 + $12,000 + $20,000 - $5,000
= $87,000
Net operating income share is
= $40,000 × 30%
= $12,000
We simply applied the above formula
High Middle Ages agriculture included all of these features EXCEPT Select one: a. increased output by increasing the amount of land used for farming. b. use of slave labor. c. extensive swamp draining and land clearance. d. application of the three-field system. be. improved methods through the use of iron tools.
Answer:
B) use of slave labor.
Explanation:
During the high middle ages most slaves in Europe were due to religious wars. E.g. if Christian crusaders won territory they would take Muslim slaves and when Muslims won territory they would also take Christian slaves.
During the early middle ages slaves were used for agricultural activities but that almost ceased in the high middle ages. The Catholic church promoted the change from being a slave into being a feudal serf. By the late 10th century (end of early middle ages) most slaves were turned into serfs. Even though the life of a serf was very complicated and difficult, it was better than being a slave.
But that didn't apply to religious prisoners until the end of the high middle ages when the Pope prohibited Muslim slaves (but that didn't stop it from happening).
A kidnapper takes a hostage and demands that the hostage pay ransom. They then play the following game in extensive form. The hostage may pay the ransom or not. Following that, the kidnapper may kill the hostage or release him. If the hostage is released, he may report the kidnapping to the police or not report it. The kidnapper has utility +5 for getting paid, -2 for having the kidnapping reported, and -1 for killing the hostage. These utilities are additive (for instance, getting paid but also reported is worth 5-2 = 3). Utilities for the hostage are -10 for getting killed, -2 for paying, +1 for reporting, and these are also additive.
Draw the game tree for this game, labeling choosers, choices and payoffs. Find the natural outcome of the game. [It should be the second worst outcome for both players.)
Suppose the hostage could make a convincing threat or promise. What should it be? What is the new outcome? Who benefits?
Suppose that after the hostage makes the convincing threat or promise in c), the kidnapper can make a threat or promise. What should it be? What is the new outcome? Who benefits?
If the hostage is not able to make a convincing threat or promise, but the kidnapper can, what should it be and what is the result?
Suggest some real-life ways that any or all of the above threats and promises might be made credible.

A firm just paid a dividend of $6 per share. Next year the dividend is expected to grow 8 percent, thereafter 10 percent forever. The present share price is $36. Calculate the required rate of return on the firm's equity. Express the response in decimal format
Answer:
26%
Explanation:
MV=Do(1+g)/(Ke-g)
Where MV is market value=$36
Do is current dividend per share=$6
g is growth rate=8%
Ke=?
By putting above values we get;
36=6(1+.08)/(Ke-.08)
36Ke-2.88=6+.48
36Ke=2.88+6+.48
Ke=9.36/36
Ke=26%
Bonnie and Clyde each own one-third of a fast-food restaurant, and their 13-year-old daughter owns the other shares. Both parents work full-time in the restaurant, but the daughter works infrequently. Neither Bonnie nor Clyde receives a salary during the year, when the ordinary income of the S corporation is $180,000. An IRS agent estimates that reasonable salaries for Bonnie, Clyde, and the daughter are $30,000, $35,000, and $10,000, respectively. What adjustments would you expect the IRS to impose upon these taxpayers?
Answer:
Net income = $180,000
- salaries = ($30,000 + $35,000 + $10,000 = $75,000)
adjusted net income = $105,000
the adjusted net income must now be divided equally between the 3 partners:
Bonnie: $35,000Clyde: $35,000daughter: $35,000Their yearly gross income:
Bonnie: $35,000 + $30,000 = $65,000Clyde: $35,000 + $35,000 = $70,000daughter: $35,000 + $10,000 = $45,000total taxable income = $65,000 + $70,000 + $45,000 = $180,000
Final answer:
The IRS may adjust Bonnie and Clyde's salaries based on reasonable compensation guidelines, potentially reducing the S corporation's taxable income. They may also face penalties and interest if their salaries are deemed unreasonably low.
Explanation:
The IRS may adjust the taxpayers' salaries based on reasonable compensation guidelines. In this case, Bonnie and Clyde's salaries may be increased to match the estimated reasonable salaries of $30,000 and $35,000 respectively. If their salaries are adjusted, it would reduce the ordinary income of the S corporation, resulting in lower taxable income.
In addition, the IRS may also impose penalties and interest if they determine that the salaries were unreasonably low or not in line with industry standards. This is to prevent taxpayers from manipulating their income by taking a low salary and receiving a larger share of the profits as distributions.
It's important for Bonnie and Clyde to ensure that their salaries are set at a reasonable level to avoid any potential issues with the IRS.
In 2009, 1 U.S. dollar purchased 1600 Korean won and in 2013 it purchased 800 Korean won. How much did 1000 Korean won cost in U.S. dollars in 2009 and 2013? Group of answer choices 2009: .84 dollars, 2013: 1.09 dollars 2009: .62 dollars, 2013: 1.25 dollar 2009: .83 dollars, 2013: 1.12 dollars 2009: .71 dollars, 2013: 1.11 dollars PreviousNext
Answer: 2009: .62 dollars, 2013: 1.25 dollar
Explanation:
In 2009, the US Dollar Exchanged against the Korean Won was something like,
= $1 : 1,600 Won
That means that to get how much USD that 1,000 Won can buy we,
= 1,000/1,600
= $0.62
In 2013, the US Dollar Exchanged against the Korean Won was something like,
= $1 : 800 Won
This shows that the Won became stronger so we can expect to buy more dollars,
Calculating the amount of USD that 1,000 Won can buy we do the following,
= 1,000/800
= $1.25
So the correct option is $0.62 in 2009 and $1.25 in 2013.

Suppose India has a per capita GDP that is .074 times the United States GDP. It has a capital-per-person ratio that is .035 times that of the United States. Compared to the United States, the implied value of total factor productivity for India is approximately a. .30. b. .07. c. .12.d. .23.
Final answer:
To find the implied value of total factor productivity for India, we can use the formula: Total factor productivity = Per capita GDP / Capital per person ratio. Given the values provided, the implied value of total factor productivity for India is approximately 2.114.
Explanation:
To find the implied value of total factor productivity for India, we can use the formula:
Total factor productivity = Per capita GDP / Capital per person ratio
Given that India's per capita GDP is 0.074 times the United States GDP and its capital-per-person ratio is 0.035 times that of the United States, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Total factor productivity = 0.074 / 0.035 = 2.114
Therefore, the implied value of total factor productivity for India is approximately 2.114.
The correct answer option is D. Compared to the United States, the implied value of total factor productivity for India is approximately 23.
To find the implied value of total factor productivity (TFP) for India compared to the United States, we can use the Solow-Swan growth model, which relates output (GDP) to capital and labor inputs. The equation for GDP in this model is Y = A * (K^α) * (L^(1-α)), where Y is GDP, A is TFP, K is capital, L is labor, and α is the output elasticity of capital.
Given that India's per capita GDP is 0.074 times that of the United States and its capital-per-person ratio is 0.035 times that of the United States, we can set up the ratio:
India's GDP per capita / US GDP per capita = (India's TFP * India's capital per person ^ α * 1) / (US TFP * US capital per person ^ α * 1)
Substituting the given values and solving for A (TFP) yields approximately 0.23. So, the correct answer is d. .23.
Which firm is likely to see its profits reduced the most in a recession: an automobile producer, a manufacturer of boots and shoes, or a janitorial service? Which is likely to see its profits reduced the least? Explain.
Automobile producer would see profit reduced the most and janitorial services would be least affected.
Explanation:
Recession is one of the phases of the trade cycle. In this phase of the trade cycle, there is downfall in the production, consumption, investment and saving in the economy. The growth rate of the economy sees a downfall in this phase.
Among the examples given here, automobile producer is the firm which would be one of the most affected company during the time of recession because it is not something essential but luxury.
An automobile producer is most likely to see reduced profits during a recession, while a manufacturer of boots and shoes is the least likely. The janitorial service may experience a moderate impact. Recessions cause cyclical unemployment, whereas industry changes or relocations lead to structural unemployment.
Explanation:The firm likely to see its profits reduced the most in a recession is the automobile producer, since automobiles are expensive, durable goods that consumers often delay purchasing during economic downturns. On the contrary, a manufacturer of boots and shoes is likely to see the least reduction in profits as these items are essential and need to be replaced periodically irrespective of the economic climate. Lastly, a janitorial service may experience a moderate impact since cleanliness is essential for health and safety, yet businesses might reduce the frequency of services to cut costs.
Recessions lead to job losses, creating cyclical unemployment. For example, landscapers laid off due to a drop in new housing construction during a recession is a classic instance of this type of unemployment. Coal miners laid off due to new EPA regulations represent structural unemployment, as the industry changes in response to new legislation. The financial analyst moving to Arizona is an example of frictional unemployment, arising from normal labor turnover and job-seeking activities. Printers and factory workers who lose their jobs due to changing industry conditions or relocation of production are also examples of structural unemployment.

AIE Industries plans to purchase a new delivery truck for $250,000. The company has been quoted an annual rate of 6.5 percent with discount interest and a compensating balance of 2 percent.
a. How much will AIE have to borrow?
b. What is the effective rate on this loan?
c. If AIE can convince the bank to remove the compensating balance requirement, what is the effective rate?
Answer:
a. AIE will have to borrow $25,5102.04
b. The Effective Rate on this Loan is 6.63%
c. If AIE can convince the bank to remove the compensating balance requirement the effective rate is 6.50%
Explanation:
In order to calculate how much will AIE have to borrow we would have to use the following formula:
Amount to be borrowed = Cost of Truck / (1 - Compensating balance)
Amount to be borrowed = $250000 / (1 - 0.02)
a. Amount to be borrowed = $25,5102.04
In order to calculate the effective rate on this loan we calculate the following:
Effective Rate on this Loan = Interest / Amount received
Effective Rate on this Loan = 16581.63 / 250000
b. Effective Rate on this Loan = 6.63%
c. If AIE can convince the bank to remove the compensating balance requirement the Effective rate = annual rate, hence the effective rate is 6.50%
AIE will need to borrow approximately $255,102 at an effective interest rate of 6.63%. If the compensating balance requirement is removed, the effective rate will be 6.5%.
Explanation:a. AIE will need to borrow the amount of the truck ($250,000) divided by 1 minus the compensating balance rate (2%). So, the company will have to borrow $250,000 / (1 - 0.02) = $255,102.
b. The effective interest rate is the discount interest divided by (1 - compensating balance), which is 6.5% / (1 - 0.02). The effective rate is thus approximately 6.63%.
c. If the compensating balance requirement is removed, the effective rate will be the same as the quoted rate, which is 6.5%%.

Which most accurately characterizes the method used to calculate inflation? Bureaucrats evaluate changes in the price of a nation's currency in terms of other prominent world currencies. Economists measure change in the prices of three goods (gasoline, gold, and wheat) thought to be important determinants of the health of the economy. Analysts measure the cost of a bundle of goods representative of overall spending at two points in time and compare the difference in cost. Government workers poll households to find out how much change there is in the prices that they are paying. Researchers observe the interest rate at two points in time and infer the rate of inflation from the difference.
Answer:
Analysts measure the cost of a bundle of goods representative of overall spending at two points in time and compare the difference in cost.
Explanation:
Inflation refers to a situation in which there is a rise in the price level of the goods in an economy at a particular point of time.
For determining inflation, we need to compare the cost of buying certain baskets of goods in the current year and the cost of buying same basket of goods in the previous year. So that we are able to find the exact rise in the price level of the goods.
We need to analyse the cost of the same basket of goods for the two different periods. Hence, we will get the most appropriate values of the inflation.
Final answer:
Inflation is typically measured using the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which compares the cost of a representative bundle of goods and services at different points in time. The CPI is considered the standard measure of inflation, although it is important to acknowledge some of its limitations and biases.
Explanation:
Measuring Inflation
The method that most accurately characterizes the calculation of inflation is where analysts measure the cost of a bundle of goods representative of overall spending at two points in time and compare the difference in cost. This approach is embodied in the calculation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is the most commonly cited measure of inflation. The CPI is crafted by statisticians at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and uses a basket of goods and services that reflects the purchases of an average family. Despite the prominence of the CPI, it's important to consider the distinction between the cost of living and the CPI, as well as addressing biases such as the substitution bias and the quality/new goods bias. Additionally, other measures like the GDP deflator and the Core Inflation Index provide alternative views on price changes in the economy.

The D.J. Masson Corporation needs to raise $400,000 for 1 year to supply working capital to a new store. Masson buys from its suppliers on terms of 3/10, net 75, and it currently pays on the 10th day and takes discounts. However, it could forgo the discounts, pay on the 75th day, and thereby obtain the needed $400,000 in the form of costly trade credit. What is the effective annual interest rate of this trade credit
Answer:
67.44%
Explanation:
The computation of Annualized rate is shown below:-
Annualized rate = (Discount percentage ÷ 100 - Discount percentage) × 365 ÷ (credit period - discount period)
(3% ÷ (100% - 75) × (365 ÷ (75 - 10))
= (3% ÷ 25) × (365 ÷ (75 - 10))
= 12% × 5.62
= 67.44%
Therefore for computing the annualized rate we simply applied the above formula.
The Masson Corporation is using trade credit as a form of financing by foregoing discounts from its suppliers. The effective annual interest rate of this trade credit is approximately 17.0769%, calculated by dividing the 3% discount by the period it covers (65 days), then extrapolating to a full year.
Explanation:The Masson Corporation is considering foregoing the discount of its suppliers to raise money for working capital. By taking this action, they are effectively using trade credit as a form of financing. To calculate the effective annual interest rate of this trade credit, we need to consider the cost of giving up the discount.
The discount offered is 3%, which is forgone if paid on the 75th day, rather than on the 10th day. The discount period is 65 days (75-10), and the trade credit is extended for 310 days (365 - 65).
The interest for the period of the trade credit could be viewed as being the 3% discount that is being given up. Therefore, the interest paid for the period of trade credit (65 days) is 3%. The annual interest rate can then be calculated by dividing the total discount by the discount period, and then extrapolate this figure to cover a year (365 days).
Therefore, the effective annual interest rate is 3/(65/365) = 17.0769%,approximately.

New tire retreading equipment, acquired at a cost of $110,000 on September 1 at the beginning of a fiscal year, has an estimated useful life of four years and an estimated residual value of $7,500. The manager requested information regarding the effect of alternative methods on the amount of depreciation expense each year. On the basis of the data presented to the manager, the double-declining-balance method was selected. In the first week of the fourth year, on September 6, the equipment was sold for $18,000. Required: 1. Determine the annual depreciation expense for each of the estimated four years of use, the accumulated depreciation at the end of each year, and the book value of the equipment at the end of each year by (a) the straight-line method and (b) the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
See explanation section.
Explanation:
See the image.
This detailed answer calculates the annual depreciation expense using both the straight-line and double-declining-balance methods for a tire retreading equipment costing $110,000 over four years. Both methods are explained step-by-step with examples. The final gain on sale of the equipment is also calculated.
To determine the annual depreciation expense using the straight-line method:
Calculate the annual depreciation expense: (Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life = ($110,000 - $7,500) / 4 = $25,625 per year.
Create a table to show each year's depreciation, accumulated depreciation, and book value:
Year 1: Depreciation: $25,625; Accumulated: $25,625; Book Value: $84,375Year 2: Depreciation: $25,625; Accumulated: $51,250; Book Value: $58,750Year 3: Depreciation: $25,625; Accumulated: $76,875; Book Value: $33,125Year 4: Depreciation: $25,625; Accumulated: $102,500; Book Value: $7,500For the double-declining-balance method:
Calculate the annual depreciation rate: (2 / Useful Life) = 50%.
Apply the rate to the book value at the beginning of each year:
Year 1: Depreciation: $110,000 * 50% = $55,000; Accumulated: $55,000; Book Value: $55,000Year 2: Depreciation: $55,000 * 50% = $27,500; Accumulated: $82,500; Book Value: $27,500Year 3: Depreciation: $27,500 * 50% = $13,750; Accumulated: $96,250; Book Value: $13,750Year 4: Depreciation: ($13,750 - $7,500) = $6,250; Accumulated: $102,500; Book Value: $7,500The equipment sold in the fourth year for $18,000 results in a gain of $10,500 because the book value was $7,500.

Antoine transfers property with a tax basis of $505 and a fair market value of $635 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $610 in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $25 on the property transferred. What is Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange
Answer: $480
Explanation:
As Antoine transferred a property with a tax base of $505 for the stock, this is the new tax base the stock.
However, because the corporation assumed a liability of $25 on the property transferred, that $25 must be accounted for in the tax basis as a result of the transfer.
It is accounted for by simply deducting it from the Tax base,
= 505 - 25
= $480.
Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange is $480.
Yzer Inc. asked for volunteers from its employees to help with yard work on its premises prior to a grand reopening. Barton Rodr, a salaried programmer who received no additional pay, suffered a heart attack while doing the lawn work. He sought workers' compensation benefits, but Yzer denied he was working as an employee at the time of the injury, claiming that it had not occurred during the course and scope of his employment. Should Rodr recover workers' compensation benefits
Answer: Yes he should.
Explanation:
Barton Rodr was a salaried programmee who was working for Yzer at the time of the accident.
He decided to volunteer to help his company with yard work for it's grand reopening.
Whilst helping, he sustained an injury and notified his employers of his intention to seek workers compensation benefits. In doing so, he has satisfied one of the requirements for claiming such.
His employer then refused to grant him workers compensation as it says that he was not working at the time.
This is untrue as Barton Rodr was working at the time of the incident. Even though he was volunteering for the company, it does not mean that he was a volunteer because he was not an ordinary person but rather an employee of the firm.
According to the law, workers compensation arises in the line of duty to the employer. The only deviation is where the employee is doing something purely personal or for another entity. Barton Rodr in this instance was still serving his employer even though it was outside the office.
It is important to note that what Mr. Rodr was doing was in the interest of his employer and he was still an employee when the incident happened.
These 2 facts alone entitle him to workers compensation benefits.
Nelson Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in cash flow of $107,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $214,000 and have a 3 year life. If the salvage value of the equipment is estimated to be $82,000, what is the payback period? Ignore income taxes.
Answer:
2 years
Explanation:
The computation of the payback period is shown below:
Payback period = Initial cost of equipment ÷ Annual increase in cash flow
= $214,000 ÷ $107,000
= 2 years
By dividing the initial cost of equipment from the annual increase in cash flow we can get the payback period and the same is shown above i,e in the computation part. and we ignored the salvage value for the same
Which of these is NOT one of the items that can provide useful assistance to a project team to define the activities of a project? a. the major milestones from the Project Charter b. schedules from similar, previous projects c. issue logs d. templates or checklists for projects of the same type
Option C
issue logs is one of the items that can provide useful assistance to a project team to define the activities of a project
Explanation:Activities in a project are the process to recognize and document the exercises that are available to produce the project deliverables. The essential advantage of this method is that it crumbles work units into program activities that present a source for evaluating, cataloging, completing, monitoring, and managing the project work.
The issue log, seldom also identified as an issue register, is a project document where all issues that are negatively altering the project are documented and tracked. This will not be beneficial compensation in defining activities of the project.
The item that does not provide assistance to a project team in defining the activities of a project is the issue logs. While they are important for risk management, they do not directly aid in outlining project tasks or deliverables.
Explanation:When defining the activities of a project, there are certain items that are useful resources specific to project management. These include things like major milestones from the Project Charter, schedules from similar, previous projects, and templates or checklists for projects of the same type. These provide structured, specific frameworks that can guide the project team in planning and executing the project.
However, issue logs do not necessarily provide assistance to a project team when defining activities. While they provide valuable context and shed light on potential problems that may arise during the course of a project, they do not directly serve the purpose of detailing project tasks or deliverables. Instead, they are a tool for risk management.

On September 30, 2022, the company sold old equipment for $124,200. The equipment was purchased on January 1, 2020, for $259,200 and was estimated to have a $43,200 salvage value at the end of its 5-year life. Depreciation on the equipment has been recorded through December 31, 2021.
Answer:
Dr. Cash $124,200
Dr. Accumulated Depreciation $118,800
Dr. Loss on Disposal $16,200
Cr. Equipment $259,200
Explanation:
Depreciation is the recording of asset expense due to its use. It is due to use of fair value of the asset after use. The expense value reduces the asset value over useful life period.
As per given data
Cost of Asset = $259,200
Useful life= 5 years
Salvage Value = $43,200
Asset is purchased on January 1, 2020 and on September 30, 2022 depreciation of only 2 years and 9 months has charged.
Depreciation per year = (Cost of Asset - Salvage Value) / Useful life = ($259,200 - $43,200) / 5 = $43,200
Accumulated Depreciation as on September 30, 2022 = ($43,200 x 2) + $43,200 x 9/12 = $118,800
Book value of the asset is the net of accumulated depreciation of the asset. The accumulated depreciation on September 30, 2022, is as follow:
Net Book value of Asset = 259,200 - $118,800 = $140,400

Required: Calculate the cost of goods sold for the Askew Company for the year ending June 30, 2021.
Answer:
Cost of Goods Sold: $245,000
Explanation:
Cost of Goods Sold refers to the direct costs that are incurred when producing the goods sold by a particular company. It includes many costs such as beginning inventory, purchases, purchase returns, discounts on purchases, freight inwards and ending inventory. COGS is also referred to as cost of sales.
Freight inwards are any transportation costs that are incurred when bringing in purchases, hence this is added to purchases. Purchase returns are deducted since they are being returned and hence not a cost. Purchase discounts are also deducted. Ending inventory is the amount of inventory which is remaining and has not been used, thus, this too is deducted.
The calculation for COGS is provided below step-by-step:
1. Beginning inventory : $33200
2. Purchases : $252000
3. Purchase returns : ($11200)
4. Purchase discounts : ($7200)
5. Freight inwards : $19400
6. Ending inventory : ($41200)
Cost of Goods Sold = $245,000
The cost of goods sold for the Askew Company for the year ending June 30, 2021 is $245,000.
Calculation of the cost of goods sold:
Since
Beginning inventory : $33200
Add: Purchases : $252000
Less: Purchase returns : ($11200)
Less: Purchase discounts : ($7200)
Add: Freight inwards : $19400
Less: Ending inventory : ($41200)
Cost of Goods Sold = $245,000

Efficiency Variance = (Actual Quantity / Standard Quantity) times Standard Cost C. Efficiency Variance = (Actual Quantity minus Standard Quantity) times Standard Cost D. Efficiency Variance = (Actual Quantity + Standard Quantity) minus Standard Cost
The correct formula for measuring an efficiency variance is (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) * Standard Cost. It compares the actual quantity of inputs used with the standard quantity and multiplies the difference by the standard cost.
Explanation:The correct formula for measuring an efficiency variance is:
Efficiency Variance = (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) * Standard Cost
The efficiency variance compares the actual quantity of inputs used with the standard quantity of inputs that should have been used, and then multiplies the difference by the standard cost of the inputs.
For example, if the actual quantity of materials used is higher than the standard quantity, the efficiency variance would be negative, indicating that more materials were used than expected.
