Hittle Company is considering two mutually exclusive projects X and Y. The cost of capital for each project is 10%. The projects’ expected net cash flows are as follows: Year Project X Project Y 0 -$10,000 -$10,000 1 4,500 3,500 2 3,000 3,500 3 3,000 3500 4 3000 3500 5 3600 3500 What are the correct NPVs of projects X and Y, respectively?
Answer:
Project X:
NPV= $3108,55
Project Y
NPV= $3267,75
Explanation:
Giving the following information, we need to find the net present values of both projects:
Project X:
i=0,10
Cash flow=
0= -$10,000
1= 4,500
2= 3,000
3= 3,000
4= 3000
5= 3600
Project Y:
i= 0,10
Cash flow=
0 = -$10,000
1=3,500
2=3,500
3=3500
4=3500
5=3500
The NPV is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time.
The formula is:
n
NPV= ∑ [Rt/(1+i)^t]t-1
where:
R t =Net cash inflow-outflows during a single period t
i=Discount rate of return that could be earned in alternative investments
t=Number of timer periods
In this exercise:
Project X:
NPV= -10000 + (4500/1,10^1) + (3000/1,10^2) + (3000/1,10^3) + (3000/1,10^4) + (3600/1,10^5)= $3108,55
Project Y
NPV= $3267,75
Assume it is August of 2008. After much deliberation, TV (television) stations nationwide choose to stop broadcasting their programs in analog starting in June of 2009 and instead broadcast in pure digital television. Hence, there is less than one year left of analog broadcasting. This decision affects companies that produce TVs, but also affects people that own and wish to purchase TVs. Please shift the supply and demand curves appropriately as a result of this news in consideration of the long run (in this case, for example, the year 2010) for analog TV sets.
Answer:
Explanation:
The analog TV sets demand will be affected because consumers will no longer buy analog TV sets because of the new decision. If there are no consumers to buy this good the demand curve will shift to the left.
The analog TV sets producers will know that consumers are not longer interested in this good and they will reduce the quantities they produce because if they remain with the same production quantities it is possible that no one buys a portion of them.
Also, it is possible that the people that owns an analog TV set will sell them because they know that in the future TV stations will stop broadcasting their programs in analog. If we sum both effects, the total supply will be reduced but not in the same proportion, the shift magnitude will be less but still the supply will shift to the left.

Fullerton Waste Management purchased land and a warehouse for $610,000. In addition to the purchase price, Fullerton made the following expenditures related to the acquisition: broker’s commission, $31,000; title insurance, $3,500; miscellaneous closing costs, $6,500. An independent appraisal estimates the fair values of the land and warehouse at $497,000 and $213,000, respectively.
Determine the amounts Fullerton should capitalize as the cost of the land and the building.
Capitalized cost of land = $
Capitalized cost of building = $
Answer:
Capitalized cost of land = $455,700
Capitalized cost of building = $ 195,300
Explanation:
All the costs of purchasing the land and warehouse should be capitalized so we first have to sum all the costs
Cost of land and warehouse $610,000
+
Brokers comission $31,000
+
title insurance $3,500
+
miscellaneous closing costs $6,500
------------------
Total cost to be capitalized $651,000
Then you must devide into cost of land and cost of building
For this we will use the independent appraisal estimates
Land $497,000/($497,000+$213,000)=0,7
Building $213,00/($497,000+$213,000)=0,3
Then Capitalized cost of land would be $651,000*0,7=$455,700
Capitalized cost of building would be $651,000*0,3=$195,300
The capitalized cost for Fullerton Waste Management's land acquisition is $459,138 and for the building is $191,862, calculated based on their respective fair values and the total acquisition cost.
Explanation:The capitalized costs for the land and building can be calculated by allocating the total acquisition costs based on the proportionate fair values of both the land and the building. In this case, Fullerton Waste Management has a total acquisition cost of $651,000 ($610,000 purchase price + $31,000 broker's commission + $3,500 title insurance + $6,500 closing costs). The fair value of the land is $497,000 and the total fair value of both is $710,000 ($497,000 + $213,000). Therefore, the capitalized cost for the land will be $459,138 [($497,000/$710,000)*$651,000] and for the building, it will be $191,862 [($213,000/$710,000)*$651,000].

The following data apply to the provision of psychological testing services: Sales price per unit (1 unit = 1 test plus feedback to client) $ 320 Fixed costs (per month): Selling and administration 22,000 Production overhead (e.g., rent of testing facilities) 15,000 Variable costs (per test): Labor for oversight and feedback 160 Outsourced test analysis 21 Materials used in testing 6 Production overhead 8 Selling and administration (e.g., scheduling and billing) 10 Number of tests per month 2,000 tests Required: Calculate the amount for each of the following (one unit = one test) if the number of tests is 2,000 per month. Also calculate if the number of tests decreases to 1,250 per month. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
2,000 test
Revenues 2,000*$320=$640,000
Variable costs 2000*$205 ($160+$21+$6+$8+$10)=$410,000
Fixed costs=$37,000 ($22,000+$15,000)
Income =$193,000
1,250 test
Revenues 1,250*$320=$400,000
Variable costs 1,250*$205 ($160+$21+$6+$8+$10)=$256,250
Fixed costs=$37,000 ($22,000+$15,000)
Income =$106,750
Explanation:
These calculations provide the financial performance of the psychological testing services for both 2,000 and 1,250 tests per month.
When the number of tests is 2,000 per month, the following amounts are calculated:
1. Total revenue: $640,000
2. Total variable costs: $406,000
3. Contribution margin: $234,000
4. Total costs: $376,000
5. Operating income: $264,000
When the number of tests decreases to 1,250 per month, the following amounts are calculated:
1. Total revenue: $400,000
2. Total variable costs: $253,750
3. Contribution margin: $146,250
4. Total costs: $351,250
5. Operating income: $48,750
First, we calculate the amounts for 2,000 tests per month:
1. Total revenue is calculated by multiplying the sales price per unit by the number of units sold:
Total revenue = $320 [tex]\times[/tex] 2,000 = $640,000
2. Total variable costs are calculated by summing the variable costs per test and then multiplying by the number of units sold:
Total variable costs = ($160 + $21 + $6 + $8 + $10) [tex]\times[/tex] 2,000 = $205 [tex]\times[/tex] 2,000 = $406,000
3. Contribution margin is the difference between total revenue and total variable costs:
Contribution margin = Total revenue - Total variable costs = $640,000 - $406,000 = $234,000
4. Total costs are the sum of fixed costs and total variable costs:
Total costs = Fixed costs (selling and administration + production overhead) + Total variable costs
Total costs = $22,000 + $15,000 + $406,000 = $376,000
5. Operating income is the difference between contribution margin and fixed costs:
Operating income = Contribution margin - Fixed costs = $234,000 - ($22,000 + $15,000) = $264,000
Next, we calculate the amounts for 1,250 tests per month,
1. Total revenue is calculated by multiplying the sales price per unit by the new number of units sold:
Total revenue = $320 [tex]\times[/tex] 1,250 = $400,000
2. Total variable costs are calculated by summing the variable costs per test and then multiplying by the new number of units sold:
Total variable costs = ($160 + $21 + $6 + $8 + $10) [tex]\times[/tex] 1,250 = $205 [tex]\times[/tex] 1,250 = $253,750
3. Contribution margin is the difference between total revenue and total variable costs:
Contribution margin = Total revenue - Total variable costs = $400,000 - $253,750 = $146,250
4. Total costs are the sum of fixed costs and total variable costs:
Total costs = Fixed costs (selling and administration + production overhead) + Total variable costs
Total costs = $22,000 + $15,000 + $253,750 = $351,250
5. Operating income is the difference between contribution margin and fixed costs:
Operating income = Contribution margin - Fixed costs = $146,250 - ($22,000 + $15,000) = $48,750
In the AD partnership, Allen's capital is $140,000 and Daniel's is $40,000 and they share income in a 3:1 ratio, respectively. They decide to admit David to the partnership. Each of the following questions is independent of the others.
Refer to the information provided above. Allen and Daniel agree that some of the inventory is obsolete. The inventory account is decreased before David is admitted. David invests $40,000 for a one-fifth interest. What are the capital balances of Allen and Daniel after David is admitted into the partnership?
Allen Daniel
A) 140000 40000
B) 125000 35000
C) 120000 36000
D) 137000 39000
A. Option A
B. Option B
C. Option C
D. Option D
Answer: Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Capital contribution by David = $40,000
Interest of David in partnership = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Total capital of the partnership after the admission of new partner:
= [tex]\frac{40,000}{\frac{1}{5} }[/tex]
= $200,000
Total capital of partnership before decreasing of obsolete inventory:
= $140,000 + $40,000 + $40,000
= $220,000
Therefore, value of decrease in inventory:
= Total capital before decrease - Total capital after decrease
= $220,000 - $200,000
= $20,000
The reduction in value of inventory will be distributed in old partners in ratio of 3:1
Hence,
Capital balance of Allen after admission of David:
= [tex]140,000 - 20,000\times\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
= $125,000
Capital balance of Daniel after admission of David:
= [tex]40,000 - 20,000\times\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
= $35,000

If service for $137 had been performed but not billed, the adjusting entry to record this would include a:
Answer:
Explanation:
The adjusting entry is shown below:
Accounts receivable A/c Dr $137
To Service revenue $137
(Being service is performed)
When service is performed but not billed yet, we debit the accounts receivable account and credit the service revenue account as the amount is not yet received from the client so we do not debit the service revenue account.
Final answer:
The adjusting entry for services performed but not billed would include a debit to Accounts Receivable for $137 and a credit to Service Revenue for $137, which reflects earned revenue that is yet to be paid.
Explanation:
The student's question pertains to how to record an adjusting entry in Windsor, Inc.'s accounting records for services that have been performed but not yet billed by the end of the accounting period. An adjusting entry is made to ensure that the revenues and expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred, following the accrual basis of accounting. Since the service was performed but not billed, we need to recognize this revenue.
To record this adjusting entry, we would debit (increase) Accounts Receivable and credit (increase) Service Revenue. This reflects that the company has earned revenue but has not yet received the payment, thus increasing the amount owed by customers. The adjusting entry would be:
Debit Accounts Receivable: $137
Credit Service Revenue: $137

Answer:
1. $28,000
2. $20,000
3. $18,000
4. $1,000
Explanation:
(1) Provided catering services for cash $28,000
It affects the cash balance negatively while affecting the retained earning balance positively.
(2) Purchase of land for cash $20,000
It affects the cash balance negatively while affecting the land balance positively.
(3) Payment of expenses $18,000
It affects the cash balance negatively while affecting the retained earning balance positively.
(4) Payment of cash dividends $1,000
It affects the cash balance negatively while affecting the retained earning balance positively.
Final answer:
The financial transactions are identified through changes in the balance sheet, resulting in $28,000 for catering services provided, $20,000 for purchase of land, $18,000 for payment of expenses, and $1,000 for cash dividends paid.
Explanation:
The student's question is asking for the amounts for each financial transaction which affected Cheryl Alder's catering service balance sheet for March. To analyze these transactions, we begin with the original balance of assets, liabilities, and equity and apply each transaction to derive the new balance.
Provided catering services for cash: This amount is equal to the increase in cash due to services provided. Since cash increased by $28,000 and there are no other effects on liabilities or stock, the full amount of $28,000 was for catering services.
Purchase of land for cash: This is seen as a decrease in cash and an increase in land by the same amount, thus the purchase of land for cash is $20,000.
Payment of expenses: The payment of expenses reduced cash by $18,000. This transaction reflects an expense that reduces retained earnings, thereby affecting net income which is seen in the balance of retained earnings.
Payment of cash dividends: Cash dividends resulted in a reduction of cash and retained earnings by $1,000, indicating that the cash dividend paid was $1,000.
You have a biased coin that lands heads 10% of the time. You win $1000 every time the coin lands head and lose 50 every time the coin lands tails. You start with $0 it is possible to have ne ative balance 1 you throw the coin 100 times, what is: The maximum balance you could finish with? 2. The minimum balance you could finish with? 3. Your expected end balance? 100,000
Answer:
1. Maximum balance = $100,000
2. Minimum balance = $(-5,000)
3. Expected balance = $55
Explanation:
Data:
PW = Probability Win = 10% = 0.10
PL = Probability Lose = 100% - 10% = 90% = 0.90
WA = Winning Amount = $1,000
LA = Losing Amount = ($50)
L = Launchs = 100
Calculations:
1. Maximum balance = L x WA = 100 x $1,000 = $100,000
2. Minimum balance = L x LA = 100 x $(-50) = $(-5,000)
3. Expected balance = (PW x WA) + (PLxLA) = (0.10 x $1,000) + (0.90 x $(-50)) = $100 - $45 = $55

The manager of an ice-cream parlor decides to introduce a new ice-cream flavor in his Dallas, TX based restaurants to compare the sales of these restaurants to the ones with no new flavors. She decides to run a difference in difference approach. Which of the following is true?
(A) The first difference would be the difference in the sales of the Dallas stores before and after the introduction
(B) The second difference would be the difference in the sales in other stores before and after the Dallas stores introduced the new flavor
(C) The second difference would be the difference between the post introduction sales in the Dallas stores and the control group
(D) Only A&B
Answer:
(D) Only A&B
Explanation:
As with the introduction of new flavors, there will be an impact on sales, it might increase or it might decrease.
The impact would not only affect the store itself but would also impact on nearby stores.
Therefore, there will be difference in the sales count in value as well as units in current and previous months.
There will also be difference in between, the sales of stores nearby in previous month and current month after the launch of new flavor.
Final answer:
The correct answer to the question is that the first difference is the change in sales in the Dallas stores before and after the new ice-cream flavor introduction, and the second difference is between the post-introduction sales of the Dallas stores and a control group that did not introduce the flavor.
Explanation:
When the manager of an ice-cream parlor in Dallas, TX decides to use a difference in difference approach to compare sales, there are two key differences they will analyze:
The first difference would be the change in the sales of the Dallas stores before and after the introduction of the new flavor. This is captured by option (A).
The second difference, contrary to option (B), would actually be the difference in sales between the Dallas stores post-introduction of the new flavor and a comparison group/control group that did not introduce the new flavor, as stated in option (C).
Therefore, the correct answer would include options (A) and (C), as they describe the two steps in the difference in differences approach.
There are four steps in the manufacturing process of a stuffed toy: cutting, stuffing, sealing, and packaging. There are two employees each for cutting and stuffing but one each for sealing and packaging. The processing times of cutting, stuffing, sealing, and packaging are 8, 5, 3, and 2 seconds per toy. What is the capacity in toys per minute at the resource "stuffing"?
Answer:
The capacity of the resource "stuffing" is 24 toys/minute
Explanation:
We can define the capacity of any of thes process as
Capacity = (Number of workers)/(Processing time)
In the case of the resource “stuffing”, we have two workers and a processing time of 5 seconds.
The capacity is then :
Capacity = (Number of workers)/(Processing time)
Capacity = (2)/(5 s) = 0.4 toys/second = 24 toys/minute
An organization estimated that in a particular year the population of a country spent $10.4 trillion in personal consumption. The major categories of these expenditures are durable goods ($1.7 trillion; for example, cars, furniture, recreational equipment), nondurable goods ($2.4 trillion; for example, food, clothing, fuel), and services ($6.2 trillion; for example, health care, education, transportation). What is the approximate annual per capita spending for personal consumption? Assume a population of 310 million.
The approximate annual per capita spending for personal consumption is approximately $33,548.39. Spending per capita at constant prices accounts for both population growth and inflation.
Given,
Total personal consumption spending = $10.4 trillion
Population = 310 million
Required to calculate the approximate annual per capita spending for personal consumption =?
Per Capita Spending = Total Spending / Population
Per Capita Spending = $10.4 trillion / 310 million
Per Capita Spending = $10.4 trillion / 310 million

Final answer:
The approximate annual per capita spending for personal consumption is $33,548.39, calculated by dividing the total personal consumption expenditures of $10.4 trillion by the population of 310 million people.
Explanation:
To determine the approximate annual per capita spending for personal consumption, we divide the total personal consumption expenditures by the population. The total expenditure is $10.4 trillion, which includes spending on durable goods ($1.7 trillion), nondurable goods ($2.4 trillion), and services ($6.2 trillion). With a population of 310 million people:
Per capita spending = Total spending / Population = $10.4 trillion / 310 million = $33,548.39 per person, approximately.
This figure indicates how much each person, on average, would have spent on goods and services in that year.

Thad Morgan, a motorcycle enthusiast, has been exploring the possibility of relaunching the Western Hombre brand of cycle that was popular in the 1930s. The retro-look cycle would be sold for $15,000 and at that price, Thad estimates 300 units would be sold each year. The variable cost to produce and sell the cycles would be $11,250 per unit. The annual fixed
cost would be $1,012,500.
What is the break-even in unit sales?
What is the margin of safety in dollars (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Answer:
Instructions are listed below
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Price= $15000
Q=300
The variable cost to produce and sell the cycles would be $11,250 per unit.
The annual fixed cost would be $1,012,500.
A)break-even point in units=fixed costs/contribution margin= 1012500/(15000-11250)= 270 units
B) margin of safety= budgeted sales - break-even sales
Margin of safety= 4500000-4050000= $450000
Thad Morgan's break-even point in unit sales for Western Hombre brand of cycle is 270 units. The margin of safety in dollars is $450,000.
Explanation:First, let's determine the break-even point in unit sales. The break-even point is reached when total cost equals total revenue. To calculate the break-even point, we need to divide the fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit. The contribution margin per unit is calculated as the selling price per unit minus the variable cost per unit. In this case, the selling price per unit is $15,000 and the variable cost per unit is $11,250. Thus, the contribution margin per unit is $15,000 - $11,250 = $3,750. The fixed costs are $1,012,500. So, the break-even point in unit sales is $1,012,500 / $3,750 = 270 units.
Second, let's calculate the margin of safety in dollars. The margin of safety measures the difference between the actual or projected sales and the sales at the break-even point. In this case, Thad estimates 300 units would be sold each year. Therefore, the projected sales in dollars are 300 units * $15,000/unit = $4,500,000. The sales at the break-even point would be 270 units * $15,000/unit = $4,050,000. Thus, the margin of safety in dollars is $4,500,000 - $4,050,000 = $450,000.

Assume that you are the manager of a firm. You are concerned about a potential increase in interestrates because it would reduce the demand for your products. Currently, economic growth is high, butannual inflation has increased from 3 percent to 5 percent within the last six months. The unemployment rate is very low and cannot go higher. The Federal Reserve (Fed) is meeting next week to assess economic conditions and set monetary policy.
(a) Given the current economic situation, should the Fed adjust or not adjust economic policy? If so, how? If not, why?
(b) Recently, the Fed has allowed the money supply to expand beyond its long-term target range. Does this affect your expectation of what the Fed will decide at its upcoming meeting?
(A) Concern about rising interest rates makes perfect sense, as the economy described is in a situation of overheating: high inflation, low unemployment and high economic growth. Rising inflation is a risk that requires the Fed to act to cool economic activity. This should be done through restrictive monetary policy instruments: raising interest rates and decreasing the monetary base, through the sale of government bonds and / or by increasing the banks' compulsory deposit with the Fed.
(B) This affects the credibility of the Fed, which is very bad. Economic agents base their expectations on Fed signals. If the money supply is higher than expected, real inflation will be higher than projected inflation. So expectations anchored in Fed forecasts will be dashed. This makes economic agents distrust future Fed projections.

Suppose that Italy and Germany both produce beer and cheese. Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 5 barrels of beer while Germany's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 10 barrels of beer. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese and has a comparative advantage in the production of beer. Suppose that Italy and Germany consider trading cheese and beer with each other. Italy can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of beer for each pound of cheese it exports to Germany. Similarly, Germany can gain from trade as long as it receives more than of cheese for each barrel of beer it exports to Italy. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of cheese in terms of beer) would allow both Germany and Italy to gain from trade? Check all that apply. 8 barrels of beer per pound of cheese 3 barrels of beer per pound of cheese 9 barrels of beer per pound of cheese 1 barrel of beer per pound of cheese
Explanation:
Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is
= 5 barrels of beer
Germany's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is
= 10 barrels of beer
Italy's opportunity cost of producing a barrel of beer is
= [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
= 0.2
Germany's opportunity cost of producing a barrel of beer is
= [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
= 0.1
A country is said to be having a comparative advantage in producing a good if it can produce it at a lower opportunity cost.
Here, Italy has a lower opportunity cost of producing cheese. So we can say that it has a comparative advantage in making cheese.
Germany has a lower opportunity cost in producing beer so it has a comparative advantage in making beer.
Italy gains from trade as long as it earns more than 5 barrels of beer for each pound of cheese, which is its opportunity cost, from trade.
Germany gains from trade as long as it gains more than 0.1 pounds of cheese for each barrel of beer.
Trade prices will be 8 barrels of beer per pound of cheese and 9 barrels of beer per pound of cheese. Since Italy will want more than 5 barrels of beer, the other two options will not be accepted.

Gasoline prices typically rise during the summer, a time of heavy tourist traffic. A "street talk" feature on a radio station sought tourist reaction to higher gasoline prices. Here was one response: "I don’t like ‘em [the higher prices] much. I think the gas companies just use any excuse to jack up prices, and they’re doing it again now." How does this tourist’s perspective differ from that of economists who use the model of demand and supply?
The tourist views higher gasoline prices as unfair manipulation by gas companies. However, economists see it as a natural outcome of increased demand during the tourist season based on the principle of supply and demand.
Explanation:The tourist's perspective is more intuitive and emotional, based on their personal experience and judgement. They believe that gas companies are taking advantage of a situation to increase prices unfairly. However, economists using the model of supply and demand would look at this situation differently. They would argue that during the summer, the demand for gasoline increases due to increased travel. As demand increases and supply remains somewhat steady, prices naturally rise to balance the two. This reflects the basic principle of supply and demand, and is not inherently about companies intentionally raising prices.

If Dominion Bank also pays 3.25% annual interest, compounded daily. If you had the following deposits and withdrawals, calculate the amount of interst you would have earned at Dominoin bank during the month of March. (March has 31 days)DATE ACCOUNT ACTIVITY BALANCEMarch 1 beginning balance $6,500March 16 withdraw $1,500 ????March 28 deposit $700 ????
Answer:
It would have earned 15.91 dollars of interest
Explanation:
We will calcualte for compounding at each moment:
First, we will calculate for $6,500 for March 1st to March 15th:
Then, from March 16th to march 27th we calculate for $5,000 + accrued interest of the peri
and from March 28th to 31th we calcualte $5,700 + accrued interest
[tex]Principal (1 + \frac{r}{m} )^{n \times m} = Amount[/tex]
n = 15/365 days
m = 365
r = 0.0325
[tex]6,500 (1 + \frac{0.0325}{365} )^{15/365 \times 365} = Amount[/tex]
6508.69
Then we withdraw 1,500
And we calcualte for hte period marchth to March 27th for the currnet value: 5,008.69
[tex]5,008.69 (1 + \frac{0.0325}{365} )^{11/365 \times 365} = Amount[/tex]
Amount: 5,013.60
Then we deposit 700 and calcualte the rest of the month:
[tex]5,713.60 (1 + \frac{0.0325}{365} )^{11/365 \times 365} = Amount[/tex]
Amount: 5,715.64
We can now calcualtethe interest earned:
6,508.96 - 6,500 = 8.96
5,013.60 - 5,008.69 = 4.91
5,715.64 - 5,713.60 = 2.04
total interest = 15.91
Final answer:
To calculate the interest earned at Dominion Bank with a 3.25% annual interest compounded daily for various account balances in March, use the formula for daily compounding interest separately for each period: initial 15 days, following 12 days after a withdrawal, and final 3 days after a deposit.
Explanation:
The question asks to calculate the interest earned in the month of March at Dominion Bank, which pays 3.25% annual interest compounded daily, with several account activities involved. The balance changes due to withdrawals and deposits within the month, making it a situation where daily compounding interest needs to be calculated for different balance amounts over varying periods within a single month.
Calculating daily compounded interest, the formula to use is P(t) = P(0) * (1 + r/365)365t, where P(t) is the future balance, P(0) is the initial balance, r is the annual interest rate, and t is the time in years. For parts of a year, t is a fraction.
For March 1-15, the balance is $6,500 for 15 days.
After the withdrawal on March 16, the new balance is $5,000 ($6,500 - $1,500), held for 12 days until the deposit on March 28.
The final balance, after the deposit on March 28, is $5,700 ($5,000 + $700) for the remaining 3 days of March.

Suppose that the total expenditures for a typical household in 2000 equaled $5,500 per month, while the cost of purchasing exactly the same items in 2005 was $6,875. If 2000 is the base year, the CPI for the year 2005 equals:
A. 0.80
B. 1.00
C. 1.20
D. 1.25
Answer:
d. 1.25
Explanation:
The consumer price index is a ratio that expresses the increase or decrease of the price of a good or service. Is obtained by the division of the most recent year. between the base year.
Household 2000 --> 5.500
Household 2005 ---> 6.875
CPI = 6875/5500 = 1.25
Final answer:
The CPI for the year 2005, using 2000 as the base year, is calculated as 125, reflecting a 25% increase in price levels over this time period.
Explanation:
The question concerns the calculation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the year 2005 using 2000 as the base year. The formula to find the CPI in a given year is the current cost of the basket of goods and services divided by the base-period cost of that same basket. In this case, the base-period (year 2000) cost is $5,500 and the year 2005 cost is $6,875. Applying this to the formula gives us:
CPI for 2005 = ($6,875 / $5,500) × 100 = 1.25 × 100 = 125.
Therefore, the CPI for the year 2005 is 125 when using 2000 as the base year, which indicates a 25% increase in the price level since the base year. The correct answer is option D: 1.25.
Kline Construction is an all-equity firm that has projected perpetual EBIT of $376,000. The current cost of equity is 13.7 percent and the tax rate is 40 percent. The company is in the process of issuing $992,000 worth of perpetual bonds with an annual coupon rate of 5.5 percent at par. What is the value of the levered firm?
Answer:
$2,043,515.33
Explanation:
EBIT = $376,000
Current cost of equity = 13.7%
Tax rate = 40%
Worth of stocks issued = $992,000
Coupon rate = 5.5%
Thus,
Amount of tax = 0.40 × EBIT
or
The amount of tax = $150,400
Therefore,
EAT = EBIT - tax
or
EAT = $376,000 - $150,400
or
EAT = $225,600
Now,
Value of unlevered firm = [tex]\frac{\textup{EAT}}{\textup{Current cost of equity}}[/tex]
or
Value of unlevered firm = [tex]\frac{\textup{225600}}{\textup{0.137}}[/tex]
or
Value of unlevered firm = $1,646,715.33
Therefore, the value of levered firm = $1,646,715 + ( $992,000 × 40% )
or
The value of levered firm = $1,646,715.33 + ( $992,000 × 40% )
or
The value of levered firm = $2,043,515.33

The indirect method starts with net income and adjusts it to net cash provided by (used for) operating activities. C. The direct and indirect methods include different types of cash flows in the investing activities section. D. The indirect method includes all non-cash activities, whereas the direct method includes only the cash activities
Answer:
B. The indirect method starts with net income and adjusts it to net cash provided by (used for) operating activities.
Explanation:
The cash flow statement shows the entire cash flow for the period in consideration, generally a financial year.
This statement is divided in three parts: Operating, Investing and Financing.
There are two methods to prepare the cash flow statement: Direct Method and Indirect Method.
There is no difference in reporting investing and financing activity, whereas the operating activities are reported in different manners.
Under indirect method, the net income is adjusted to calculate the operating cash flow, all the transactions which are non cash or do not relate to operating activities.
Thus, statement B is correct.
