Selling $8 million worth of bonds by the Fed results in a decrease in bank reserves and money supply, with a maximal possible decrease of $40 million in the money supply if the reserve requirement is 20%.
When the Fed sells bonds, it reduces the amount of reserves that banks hold. If the Fed sells $8 million worth of bonds, the bank reserves decrease by that same amount because banks exchange their reserve balances for the bonds. Consequently, as reserves decrease, the money supply also decreases. This is because banks have less money to loan out, which reduces the total amount of money in circulation.
If the required reserve ratio is 0.2 (or 20%), the maximum possible change in the money supply can be found using the money multiplier formula, which is the reciprocal of the reserve requirement. The maximum change in the money supply is 1/0.2 times the change in reserves, so in this case, it is 5 times $8 million, which equals $40 million.
When the Fed sells bonds, bank reserves and the money supply decrease. The maximum reduction in the money supply can be calculated using the required reserve ratio.
Bank reserves change by the same amount as the bonds sold by the Fed. When the Fed sells $8 million worth of bonds, bank reserves decrease by $8 million.
The money supply will decrease when the Fed sells bonds, as selling bonds reduces the money available in the economy.
The maximum possible change in the money supply, if the required reserve ratio is 0.2, can be calculated by dividing the change in reserves by the reserve ratio. In this case, if the Fed sells $8 million worth of bonds, the maximum reduction in the money supply would be $8 million ÷ 0.2 = $40 million.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. If an asset is sold for less than its book value at the end of a project's life, it will generate a loss for the firm, hence its terminal cash flow will be negative.
b. Only incremental cash flows are relevant in project analysis, the proper incremental cash flows are the reported accounting profits, and thus reported accounting income should be used as the basis for investor and managerial decisions.
c. Changes in net operating working capital refer to changes in current assets and current liabilities, not to changes in long-term assets and liabilities, hence they should not be considered in a capital budgeting analysis.
d. It is unrealistic to believe that any increases in net operating working capital required at the start of an expansion project can be recovered at the project's completion. Operating working capital like inventory is almost always used up in operations. Thus, cash flows associated with operating working capital should be included only at the start of a project's life.
e. If equipment is expected to be sold for more than its book value at the end of a project's life, this will result in a profit. In this case, despite taxes on the profit, the end-of-project cash flow will be greater than if the asset had been sold at book value, other things held constant.
Answer:
e. If equipment is expected to be sold for more than its book value at the end of a project's life, this will result in a profit. In this case, despite taxes on the profit, the end-of-project cash flow will be greater than if the asset had been sold at book value, other things held constant.
Explanation:
Answer to Question is Point E i.e. If equipment is expected to be sold for more than its book value at the end of a project's life, this will result in a profit. In this case, despite taxes on the profit, the end-of-project cash flow will be greater than if the asset had been sold at book value, other things held constant.
Because Book value is the Vaue of an assets recorded in the Balance sheet at the end of the Financial year. Book value is calculated by adjusting Original Cost for depreciation, amortization made for the asset. If the equipment is sold for a value more than its book value , it will result in profit. Despite the taxes on profit, the end of the cash flow will be greater.
As the Book value at the time of sale is calculated after giving effect of depreciation, amortisation.
Dream, Inc., has debt outstanding with a face value of $6 million. The value of the firm if it were entirely financed by equity would be $17.85 million. The company also has 350,000 shares of stock outstanding that sell at a price of $38 per share. The corporate tax rate is 35 percent. What is the decrease in the value of the company due to expected bankruptcy costs? (Assume that the market value of the debt is the same as the face value of the debt, because the debt has just been issued at today’s market interest rate, that the debt is perpetual, and that in this economy corporate taxes as well as financial distress costs exist.)
Answer:
$650,000
Explanation:
For computing the decrease in the expected bankruptcy costs, first we have to determine the total firm value in each case which is shown below:
Total firm value = Equity + Debt × corporate tax rate
= $17,850,000 + $6,000,000 × 0.35
= $17,850,000 + $2,100,000
= $19,950,000
Now the total firm value based on market share
= Equity + Debt
= 350,000 shares × $38 + $6,000,000
= $13,300,000 + $6,000,000
= $19,300,000
The difference would be
= $19,950,000 million - $19,300,000
= $650,000

Required :
Determine the total amount of:
(a) Manufacturing overhead
(b) Product costs
(c) Period costs
Answer:
(a) Manufacturing overhead = $176,700
(b) Product costs = $390,400
(c) Period costs = $72,390
Explanation:
a. The computation of the manufacturing overhead is shown below:
= Factory utilities + Depreciation on factory equipment + Property taxes on factory building + Indirect factory labor + Indirect materials + Factory repairs+ Factory manager salary
= $17,000 + $13,950 + $2,600 + $49,900 + $82,600 + $2,350 + $8,300
= $176,700
b. The computation of the product cost is shown below:
= Direct materials used + Direct labor + manufacturing overhead
= $141,700 + $72,000+ $176,700
= $390,400
c. The computation of the period cost is shown below:
= Sales salaries + Depreciation on delivery trucks + Repairs to office equipment + Advertising + Office supplies used
= $47,500 + $4,700 + $1,900 + $15,500 + $2,790
= $72,390
The manufacturing overhead is $86,450, the product costs amount to $299,750, and the period costs are $75,390.
Explanation:(a) To calculate the manufacturing overhead, we need to add up all the costs and expenses that are indirectly related to the manufacturing process. These would include factory utilities, indirect factory labor, depreciation on factory equipment, property taxes on factory building, and factory repairs. Adding up these costs will give us the total manufacturing overhead which in this case is $86,450.
(b) Product costs consist of the direct materials used, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. So, to find the product costs, we can add up these three costs which gives us a total of $299,750.
(c) Period costs include all the costs that are not directly related to the manufacturing of products. These would include sales salaries, repairs to office equipment, advertising, factory manager's salary, and office supplies used. Adding up these costs will give us the total period costs which in this case is $75,390.

Shelton Co. purchased a parcel of land six years ago for $877,500. At that time, the firm invested $149,000 in grading the site so that it would be usable. Since the firm wasn't ready to use the site itself at that time, it decided to lease the land for $56,000 a year. The company is now considering building a warehouse on the site as the rental lease is expiring. The current value of the land is $929,000. What value should be included in the initial cost of the warehouse project for the use of this land?
Answer:
The company should recognise $929,000 as the cost the land as this the fair value as at the date when management considers to build the warehouse.
Explanation:
Cost at date of purchase of land
The inital cost of the land is $1,026,500 (cost + grading cost); and since it was leased out, it will be accounted for in line with IAS 40 (Investment Property) to earn investment income (i.e. lease income).
Measurement of Investment property
An investment property can be measured at cost or fair value. The question didn't say that the land was depreciated, hence its assumed that it was measured at fair vale.
Measurement at date of commencement of constructing the warehouse
IAS 40 permits transferring investment property (e.g the land) to owner occupied property (i.e. the warehouse). Hence in determining the value of the land at this date we have measure the value in line with IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement).
Since we know the current market value of the asset at this date as $929,000. This would be recognised as the cost of the land.
Exercise 9-5 Sandhill Co. purchased a new machine on October 1, 2017, at a cost of $80,010. The company estimated that the machine has a salvage value of $7,280. The machine is expected to be used for 72,400 working hours during its 7-year life. Compute the depreciation expense under the straight-line method for 2017 and 2018, assuming a December 31 year-end. (
Answer:
2017 = $2,598 and 2018 = $10,390
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the second year is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($80,010 - $7,280) ÷ (7 years)
= ($72,730) ÷ (7 years)
= $10,390
In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
For 2017, the depreciation expense would be
= $10,390 × 3 months ÷ 12 months
= $2,598
The three months is calculated from the October 1, 2017, to December 31, 2017
And, in 2018 it would be $10,390

Joe was trying to sell his home. He went out drinking with some buddies on Friday night and got really drunk. Saturday morning his realtor came by with a contract for the sale of his home. Joe looked over the contract, asked the realtor some questions about the date of the closing, asked the realtor what he thought about the contract, then signed the contract and went back to bed. When he woke up on Saturday afternoon he saw a copy of the contract and had a change of heart. The contract was for $10,000 less then what he originally wanted for the house.
1. Joe wants to disaffirm, claiming he was drunk when he signed. Can he?
Answer:
Yes. Joe can disaffirm the contract as he was drunk when he signed it.
Explanation:

You made an investment of $12,000 into an account that paid you an annual interest rate of 3.5 percent for the first 5 years and 7.9 percent for the next 15 years. What was your annual rate of return over the entire 20 years
Answer:
interest rate r = 6.78 %
Explanation:
given data
investment = $12,000
interest rate = 3.5 percent = 0.035
time = 5 year
interest rate = 7.9 percent = 0.079
time = next 15 year
to find out
What was your annual rate of return over the entire 20 years
solution
we get here interest rate as
interest rate r = [tex][(1+r)^{t1} * (1+r)^{t2}]^{\frac{1}{t1+t2}} - 1[/tex] ...................1
here t1 is time period for first 5 year and t2 is time i.e next 15 year and r1 and r2 is rate
now put here value we get
interest rate r = [tex][(1+)^{t1} * (1+r)^{t2}]^{\frac{1}{t1+t2}} - 1[/tex]
interest rate r = [tex][(1+0.035)^{5} * (1+0.079)^{15}]^{\frac{1}{5+15}} - 1[/tex]
interest rate r = 1.0678 - 1
interest rate r = 0.0678
interest rate r = 6.78 %
A manufacturing company has a beginning finished goods inventory of $28,800, cost of goods manufactured of $59,000, and an ending finished goods inventory of $28,100. The cost of goods sold for this company is
Answer:
The cost of goods sold for this company is $59,700
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold = Beginning finished goods inventory + Cost of goods manufactured - Ending finished goods inventory
In the company:
Beginning finished goods inventory: $28,800
Cost of goods manufactured: $59,000
Ending finished goods inventory: $28,100
Therefore,
Cost of goods sold = $28,800 + $59,000 - $28,100 = $59,700
On January 1, 2015, Stronger Industries issued $480,000 of 9%, five-year bonds that pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. They are issued at $499,483 and their market rate is 8% at the issue date. After recording the entry for the issuance of the bonds, Bonds Payable had a balance of $480,000 and Premium on Bonds Payable had a balance of $19,483.

Complete the necessary journal entry for the interest payment date of June 30, 2015 by selecting the account names an dollar amounts from the drop-down menus.
Final answer:
The journal entry for the interest payment date of June 30, 2015, involves the accounts: Interest Expense, Premium on Bonds Payable, and Cash. A portion of the interest payment is allocated to the reduction of the premium on Bonds Payable.
Explanation:
The journal entry for the interest payment date of June 30, 2015, will involve the following accounts: Interest Expense, Premium on Bonds Payable, and Cash. Since the bonds were issued at a premium, a portion of the interest payment will be allocated to the reduction of the premium. The specific amounts for each account can be calculated as follows:
Interest Expense: $480,000 (Bonds Payable) * 9% (interest rate) * 6/12 (6 months) = $21,600
Premium on Bonds Payable: $19,483 (balance) - $21,600 (interest expense) = -$2,117
Cash: $21,600 (interest payment)

Answer:
The answer is. Q is 82,000 units ,the company will make a loss of $ -10000 if the company changes to Hi speed, if the company stays with clunker it will make a profit of $1,000
Explanation:
a) Clunker. Hi speed
Fixed cost. $44,000. $85,000
Variable cost. 1.75. 1.25
Q (output in indifference point / cross over point) = FC of Hi speed - FC of Clunker/VC of Clunker - VC of Hi speed
FC of Clunker + VC of Clunker = FC of Hi speed + VC of Hi speed
44,000 + 1.75Q = 85,000 + 1.25Q
Collect like terms
1.75Q - 1.25Q = 85,000 - 44,000

If the company stays with clunker, it will make a profit of $1,000
Final answer:
The crossover point for the new Hi-Speed shredder and Clunker is at 82,000 units. Using the Hi-Speed shredder and selling 60,000 bags results in a loss of $10,000 per month, while continuing with Clunker results in a profit of $1,000 per month.
Explanation:
To calculate the crossover point where the total costs of both the new Hi-Speed shredder and the old machine Clunker are the same, we set up the following equation:
Total cost of Hi-Speed = Total cost of Clunker
Fixed cost of Hi-Speed + (Variable cost of Hi-Speed * Number of units) = Fixed cost of Clunker + (Variable cost of Clunker * Number of units)
85000 + 1.25x = 44000 + 1.75x
Solving for x gives us the crossover point:
85000 - 44000 = 1.75x - 1.25x
41000 = 0.5x
x = 82000 bags
To calculate the monthly profit or loss for selling 60,000 bags per month with the Hi-Speed shredder, we use the formula:
Profit = (Selling price per bag * Number of bags sold) - (Fixed cost + Variable cost per bag * Number of bags sold)
Profit = (2.50 * 60000) - (85000 + 1.25 * 60000)
Profit = $150000 - $160000 = -$10000
For the Clunker:
Profit = (2.50 * 60000) - (44000 + 1.75 * 60000)
Profit = $150000 - $149000 = $1000
The monthly profit or loss with the Hi-Speed shredder for selling 60,000 bags per month is -$10,000, and staying with Clunker would result in a $1000 profit.
The First Bank of Flagstaff has issued perpetual preferred stock with a $100 par value. The bank pays a quarterly dividend of $1.65 on this stock. What is the current price of this preferred stock given a required rate of return of 11.6 percent?
Final answer:
The current price of the First Bank of Flagstaff's perpetual preferred stock, with quarterly dividends of $1.65 and a required return of 11.6%, is calculated using the formula for perpetual cash flows and is $56.90.
Explanation:
The current price of the perpetual preferred stock issued by the First Bank of Flagstaff, which pays a quarterly dividend of $1.65 and has a $100 par value, can be estimated using the present discounted value (PDV).
The required rate of return is an annual rate of 11.6%, but since dividends are paid quarterly, we need to divide this by 4 to get the quarterly rate, which is 2.9%. The price of the stock is the present value of the perpetual stream of quarterly dividends, calculated as the dividend amount divided by the quarterly rate of return.
To find the current price of the stock:
Price = Dividend per quarter / Quarterly rate of return
Price = $1.65 / (0.116/4) = $1.65 / 0.029 = $56.90
This formula represents the price of a stock based on its expected future dividends and the required rate of return.
Your Way, Inc. Eric buys companies that are small or companies in financial trouble. He helps these companies turn around and develop a competitive advantage. The company that he recently purchased is called Your Way, Inc. The company sells men's clothing and accessories. Your Way keeps the sewing machines for clothes manufacturing at a separate production facility so that the store location space can be reserved for display and selling. After looking over the different products available, Eric realized that the company's previous owner was not aware of the product life cycle because the company kept items that were obviously too old and out of date. Also, because of the high turnover, employees did not have good knowledge of the different product lines and did not know the difference between a product line and a product mix. To move the company forward, Eric thought of the following two measures: first, developing a new product to incorporate into the product mix; and second, eliminating the out-of-date products. Refer to Your Way, Inc. If Eric wanted to develop a new product, he would begin with(A) concept testing.(B) screening.(C) product analysis.(D) idea generation.(E) marketing analysis.

Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $ 320 comma 000 the first year, $ 280 comma 000 the second year, and $ 240 comma 000 each year thereafter for eight years. Compute the payback period. Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
5.4 years
Explanation:
In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:
In year 0 = $1,418,000
In year 1 = $320,000
In year 2 = $280,000
In year 3 = $240,000
In year 4 = $240,000
In year 5 = $240,000
In year 6 = $240,000
In year 7 = $240,000
In year 8 = $240,000
In year 9 = $240,000
In year 10 = $240,000
If we sum the first 5 year cash inflows than it would be $1,320,000
Now we deduct the $1,320,000 from the $1,418,000 , so the amount would be $98,000 as if we added the six year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it
And, the next year cash inflow is $240,000
So, the payback period equal to
= 5 years + $98,000 ÷ $240,000
= 5.4 years
In 5.4 yeas, the invested amount is recovered.

Most markets are not monopolies in the real world because
A. supply curves slope upward.
B. firms usually face downward-sloping demand curves.
C. firms usually equate price with marginal cost.
D. there are reasonable substitutes for most goods.
Answer:
D. there are reasonable substitutes for most goods.
Explanation:
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in the industry. There are also no subsituites for goods and services produced by the monopoly. The monopoly sets the price for his product and earns economic profit in the long and short run.
There aren't a lot of monopolies in the real world because most goods have substitutes. Therefore, consumers can substitute the monopoly product for another product and there isn't just one firm operating in the industry.
Most markets are not monopolies in the real world because there are reasonable substitutes for most goods, which allows consumers to choose similar products from different firms. The demand for a monopolist's product constrains its price, and a monopolist cannot require consumers to purchase its product.
Explanation:In the real world, most markets are not monopolies because there are reasonable substitutes for most goods. This means that consumers have options and can choose to purchase similar products from different firms if one firm raises its prices. While a monopolist can charge any price for its product, the demand for the firm's product constrains the price. No monopolist, even one that is thoroughly protected by high barriers to entry, can require consumers to purchase its product. Because the monopolist is the only firm in the market, its demand curve is the same as the market demand curve, which is downward-sloping.

A7X Corp. just paid a dividend of $2.30 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at 15 percent for the next eight years and then level off to a growth rate of 6 percent indefinitely. If the required return is 14 percent, what is the price of the stock today?
The price of a stock is calculated by discounting the value of all future dividends to the present using the required rate of return. In this case, the dividends for the next eight years grow at a rate of 15 percent and then level off at a 6 percent growth rate indefinitely. The discounted dividends are then summed to get the present value of the stock.
Explanation:To calculate the price of a stock today, you can use the Dividend Discount Model (DDM). The DDM is based on the expectation that the price of a stock is equivalent to the present value of all its future dividends. Dividends for the next eight years can be calculated individually considering the 15 percent dividend growth. This should be followed by calculating dividend value from year 9 onward, considering the indefinite 6 percent growth from then on. The cost of each future dividend should then be discounted to the present by the required 14 percent rate of return, and all these discounted dividends should be summed up to get the present stock value.
Here is a short example of how you can find the first two future dividends. The dividend in the next year (D1) would be the current dividend multiplied by 1.15 (15 percent growth), i.e., $2.30 * 1.15 = $2.645. The dividend in the second year (D2) would be the first year's dividend multiplied by 1.15 i.e., $2.645 * 1.15 = $3.04175. Then you would discount these by the required return and calculate the present value of each dividends.

Westville, a small developed country, is experiencing a very high rate of inflation. Roma Anderson, a market research analyst, thinks that the high level of inflation is due to an acute shortage of goods available in the economy. According to her, the government should use expansionary fiscal policies to boost the economy. Meanwhile, Robert Simpson, a member of the finance ministry, is of the opinion that the high level of inflation is the result of excessive household spending. He suggests that the government should increase personal income tax rates to curb consumption demand. Which of the following, if true, will strengthen Robert's claim that high consumer spending is the cause of high inflation? OA· The number of discouraged workers in Westville has increased this year. OB. One of Westville's leading trading partners was recently hit by a severe recession. Oc、 The gender wage gap in westville has increased substantially in the last few years. OD. Leading firms producing consumer durables have reported a decline in profits in recent times. OE. There is consensus among leading economists and industry experts that the output gap in Westville is currently negatuve
Answer:
There is consensus among leading economists and industry experts that the output gap in Westville is currently negative.
Explanation:
There are two different people who have two different views for the increasing inflation. Robert's claim that the reason behind high inflation is the high consumer spending will be strengthened if there is a consensus among leading economists and the industry experts that the output gap in Westville is negative. This means that the actual output is less than the potential output and so, the consumer spending will increase, leading to the inflation.
Robert's claim that high consumer spending is causing inflation in Westville could be strengthened by the evidence that leading consumer product firms are seeing declining profits, suggesting that demand is outstripping supply and hence driving up prices. However, a holistic approach is required to fully understand complex economic issues such as inflation.
Explanation:The debate revolving around the cause of high inflation in Westville can be strengthened by examining which claim aligns more closely with the symptoms observed in the economy. Inflation can be succinctly summarized as 'too many dollars chasing too few goods'. Bearing this definition in mind, Robert's argument that excessive household spending is at the root of the inflation problem would be reinforced if there is evident high demand meeting a lack of supply.
Going through the options provided, the one that would most strongly support Robert's claim would be if leading firms notably producing consumer durables have reported a decline in profits. A decline in corporate profits in consumer industries may indicate excessive spending. If people are buying more than these companies can produce, it would artificially inflate prices, contributing to a high inflation rate.
However, it's essential to note that economic indicators should not be evaluated in isolation and understanding economic trends generally requires a comprehensive view of various interrelated factors.

The price lists from suppliers indicate the current replacement cost of the item to be $171 each. What would be the amount reported as Merchandise Inventory on the balance sheet?
A. $2,394
B. $336
C. $4,704
D. $2,310
Answer:
D. $2,310
Explanation:
Ending inventory or Merchandise Inventory is the value of goods available for sale at the end of the accounting period valued at the lowest of total purchase cost or total replacement cost.
In this problem, total purchase cost (P) is:
[tex]P= \$165*14 = \$2,310[/tex]
Total replacement cost (R) is:
[tex]R= \$171*14 = \$2,394[/tex]
Since purchase cost is lower than replacement cost, the amount reported as Merchandise Inventory on the balance sheet should be $2,310

A company has a beginning inventory of $ 20 comma 000 and purchases during the year of $ 130 comma 000. The beginning inventory consisted of 3 comma 000 units and 6 comma 000 units were purchased during the year. The company has 5000 units left at yearminusend. Under averageminuscost, what is Cost of Goods Sold? (Round any intermediary calculations to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$66,680
Explanation:
The computation of the cost pf goods sold is shown below:
= Number of units sold × average cost per unit
where,
Number of units sold equals to
= Beginning inventory units + purchased units - ending inventory units units
= 3,000 units + 6,000 units - 5,000 units
= 4,000 units
Now the average cost per unit would be
= (Beginning inventory + purchases) ÷ (Beginning inventory units + purchased units)
= ($20,000 + $130,000) ÷ (3,000 units + 6,000 units)
= $16.67
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= $4,000 units × $16.67
= $66,680
An airline has the following data about an airplane:
Annual lease cost $8,000,000
Lease term: 8 years
Useful life of airplane: 35 years
Fair market value of leased asset: $83 million
Present value of lease payments: $78 million
Bargain purchase option: None
Transfer to lessor at end of lease? Yes
Is this a capital or operating lease? Why?
A.
This is a capital lease because the leased asset cost exceeds $5 million.
B.
This is a capital lease because the substance of the transaction is a capital lease.
C.
This is a capital lease because it meets at least one of the four capital lease criteria.
D.
This is an operating lease. It fails all of the capital lease criteria.
Answer:
Option C). This is a capital lease because it meets at least one of the four capital lease criteria.
Explanation:
In the following situations, the lease transactions are called Finance Lease.
i) The lessee will get the ownership of leased asset at the end of the lease term.
ii) The lessee has an option to buy the leased asset at the end of lease term at price, which is lower than its expected fair value at the date on which option will be excercised.
iii) The lease term covers the major part of the life of asset.
iv) At the beginning of lease term, Present value of minimum lease rental covers substantially the initial fair value of the leased asset.
In the given question, Present value of minimum lease rental amounting to $ 78 million covers substantially 94 % portion of the initial fair value of leased asset. Accordingly, last condition / last situation mentioned above to treat lease as finance lease is satisfied in the given question. In other words, out of four capital lease criteria mentioned above, fourth criteria / fourth condition (At the beginning of lease term, Present value of minimum lease rental covers substantially the initial fair value of the leased asset) is satisfied in this given question.
Present value of minimum lease rental as a percentage of initial fair value of leased asset :-
= (78 Million / 83 Million ) * 100
= 0.94 * 100
= 94 % (approx).
Lease in given question is capital lease because it meets at least one of the four capital lease criteria.
The correct answer is D. This is an operating lease. It fails all of the capital lease criteria.
To determine whether the lease is a capital lease or an operating lease, we can use the criteria outlined by accounting standards. A capital lease is a lease that meets any one of the following four criteria:
The lease transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee at the end of the lease term.The lease contains a bargain purchase option.The lease term is equal to or greater than 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased property.The present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the leased property.In this case:
There is no bargain purchase option.The lease transfers the asset back to the lessor at the end of the term.The lease term (8 years) is less than 75% of the useful life of the airplane (35 years).The present value of the lease payments ($78 million) is less than 90% of the fair market value of the asset ($83 million).An economist discussing trade policy in the New Republic wrote: "One of the benefits of the United States removing its trade restrictions [is] the gain to U.S. industries that produce goods for export.

The standard cost of product 5252 includes 1.90 hours of direct labor at $14.30 per hour. The predetermined overhead rate is $22.00 per direct labor hour. During July, the company incurred 4,000 hours of direct labor at an average rate of $14.60 per hour and $80,100 of manufacturing overhead costs. It produced 2,000 units.
(a) Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for labor.
(b) Compute the total overhead variance.
Answer:
a) The total, price, and quantity variances for labor is $4,060 totally, $0.3 per direct labour, and 200 hours respectively
b) The total overhead variance is $36,100
Explanation:
The variance is the difference between actual figures and standard figures.
The actual hour taken for 1 unit in July is 2.0 hour, so the quantity variance for labor in per unit is 0.1 hour = 2.0 – 1.9; then the total quantity variance for 2,000 units produced in July is 200 hours = 0.1 x 2,000
The price variance for labor is $0.3 = $14.60 - $14.30
The total standard cost for labor in July is $54,340 = $14.3 x 1.9 hours x 2,000 units
The total actual cost for labor in July is $58,400 = $14.6 x 2.0 hours x 2,000 units
So the variance in total labor cost of July is $4,060 = $58,400 - $54,340
The standard overhead cost for 2,000 units is $44,000, while the actual overhead cost in July is $80,100. So the total overhead variance is $36,100
New Gadgets is growing at a very fast pace. As a result, the company expects to pay annual dividends of $0.55, 0.80, and $1.10 per share over the next three years, respectively. After that, the dividend is projected to increase by 5 percent annually. The last annual dividend the firm paid was $0.40 a share. What is the current value of this stock if the required return is 16 percent?
Answer:
= $8.50
Explanation:
First, calculate the dividend per year;
D1 = 0.55
D2= 0.80
D3= 1.10
D4= D3(1+g); 1.10(1.05)= 1.155
Next, find the PV of each dividend given a rate of 18%
PV (D1) =0.55 / (1.16) = 0.4741
PV (D2) = 0.80 / (1.16^2) = 0.5945
PV (D3) = 1.10 / (1.16^3) = 0.7047
PV(D4 onwards) = [tex]\frac{\frac{1.155}{0.16-0.05} }{1.16^{3} }[/tex] = 6.7269
Next, sum up the PVs to calculate the price;
=0.4741 + 0.5945 + 0.7047 + 6.7269
= 8.50
Therefore, the current value of this stock is $8.50
