n 2010, the country of Vesey exported goods worth $312 billion and services worth $198 billion. It imported goods worth $525 billion and services worth $255 billion. It sent $1.2 billion in famine relief to Africa, and received $3 billion to support its first democratic election efforts. What was the current account balance in Vesey for 2010 in US Dollars?

Answer:

option (A) 5

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total fixed cost = $40,000

Selling price = $250 per unit

Average variable cost = $150

Output = 500 units

Now,

Firm's degree of operating leverage

= {output × ( Selling price - Variable cost )} ÷ {output × ( Selling price - Variable cost )-Total fixed cost}

on substituting the respective values, we get

= [tex]\frac{500\times( 250 - 150 )}{500\times(250 - 150 ) - 40,000}[/tex]

= 50,000 ÷ [ 50,000 - 40,000 ]

= 50,000 ÷ 10,000

= 5

Hence,

The correct answer is option (A) 5

Answer: (D) Factors B, C, D & F

Explanation:

Factor B: An increase in the quantity of money in circulation implies inflation. This will definitely cause a rise in the price level of goods and services in the nation.

Factor C: An increase in the labour force participation rate implies an increase in the quantity supply of labour. This implies an increase (general increase, not per labourer) in the price paid for labour (wages and salaries) in the nation.

Factor D: A decrease in production taxes paid by firms will encourage more production. This increase in supply of goods and services produced will result in an increased price level. The LRAS curve still won't shift. It will remain constant but along the curve, price level and quantity level will have increased.

On the other hand - for individuals - a decrease in income tax implies higher purchasing power (higher income-after-tax). This will in turn raise the prices of the goods and services purchased by individuals.

Factor F: Increased long run economic growth means increased productivity (or Gross Domestic Product) in the economy. This usually has the effect of raising inflation rate which directly impacts price level in the economy/nation.

For the wrong answers, here is the reason why they are wrong:

Factor (A)

A rise in the value of domestic currency, relative to other world currencies, does the damage of (or has the effect of) reducing the quantity of goods imported from this country by other countries. This will in turn reduce the quantity of goods exported by this country and hence, quantity produced will reduce in this country. This, instead of increasing price level, will reduce it.

Factor (E)

A rise in real incomes in trade partner countries does not mean that the extra real incomes will be used to purchase products from this country or to engage on foreign trade with this country.

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Required reserve is $1,300

Excess reserve is $700

Explanation:

Excess reserve is the capital reserve that is held by the financial institutions or the banks in excess or more of what is needed by the creditors, internal controls or the regulators.

So, it is the reserves banks need to keep above the legal requirements.

The required reserve is computed as:

Required reserve = Reserve ratio × Deposits

= 13% × 10,000

= $1,300

Excess reserve is computed as:

Excess reserve = Reserves - Required reserve

= $2,000 - $1,300

= $ 700

Excess reserves are funds that banks hold over and above the legal requirement set by the Federal Reserve. Based on the 13% reserve ratio and the bank's balance sheet, the required reserves are $1,300 and the excess reserves are $700.

In response to your question, the excess reserves are reserves that banks hold in addition to the legal requirement. This means they surpass what's mandated by the Federal Reserve, and is not used for loans or investments. So, option A is correct in stating that excess reserves are the reserves banks keep above the legal requirement.

Looking at the bank's balance sheet with reserves of $2,000 and deposits of $10,000, you can calculate the required and excess reserves. Given that the required reserve ratio is 13%, the required reserves would be 13% of $10,000 which equals $1,300. Since the actual reserves are $2,000, the excess reserves would be $2,000 - $1,300 which equals $700.

So, the bank keeps required reserves of ​$1300 and excess reserves of ​$700.

Answer:

$184.67 each month

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Howard is saving for a long holiday. He deposits a fixed amount every month in a bank account with an EAR of 11.8​%. If this account pays interest every month then how much should he save from each monthly paycheck in order to have $ 15,000 in the account in five ​years' time?

We need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

n= 5*12= 60

i= 0.118/12= 0.00983

FV= 15,000

A=(15,000*0.00983)/[(1.00983^60)-1]= $184.67

Howard should save $184.67 from each monthly paycheck.

To calculate how much Howard should save from each monthly paycheck, we need to use the formula for future value of an ordinary annuity:

FV = P * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r

Where FV is the future value, P is the monthly deposit, r is the monthly interest rate (which is 11.8% divided by 12), and n is the number of months (which is 5 years times 12 months). Rearranging the formula to solve for P, we get:

P = FV * r / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Plugging in the values, the calculation is:

P = $15000 * (0.118 / 12) / ((1 + (0.118 / 12))^(5 * 12) - 1) = $184.67

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is shown below:

On January 1, 2017 to May 1, 2017

= 141,600 shares × 4 months ÷ 12 months

= 47,200 shares

On May 1, 2017 to July 1, 2017

= 141,600 shares + 68,400 shares  × 2 months ÷ 12 months

= 35,000 shares

On July 1, 2017 to October 1, 2017

= 141,600 shares + 68,400 shares - 10,320 shares   × 3 months ÷ 12 months

= 49,920 shares

On October 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017

= 141,600 shares + 68,400 shares - 10,320 shares + 10,320 shares  × 3 months ÷ 12 months

= 52,500 shares

So, the Weighted-average number of shares outstanding would be

Answer:

The interest expense of $2,765.94 is recorded in the annual income statement.

Explanation:

As the interest is paid semiannually, so the first interest will be in June, it is computed by using the method of effective interest rate :

Interest expense = Amount × Rate / 2

=$69,058 × 0.04 / 2

= $1,381.16

Now, Computing the amount of the above interest expense that amortizes the bond discount as:

= Face value × issued at 3% / 2

= 80,000× 0.03 / 2

= $1,200

= $1,381.16 - $1,200

= $181.16

The difference is added to the carrying value of the bond which is:

= Difference amount + Carrying amount

= $181.16+ $69,058

= $69,239.16

The interest for 6 months ending on December 31 is computed as:

= $69,239.16 ×0.04 / 2

= $1,384.78

Total interest expense at 12/31/12 would be:

= June 30 expense + December 31 expense

= $1,381.16 + $1,384.78

= $2,765.94

The interest expense Lyle's Limeade would record in the December 31, 2021, annual income statement, based on its bond issued at discount, would be $2,789.94.

Lle's Limeyade issued a 3% bond whose face value is $80,000. However, this bond was sold for less than its face value at $69,058, meaning that the bond was issued at a discount. This happens when the market interest rate (4% in this case) is higher than the bond's coupon interest rate (3%). Interest expense for a bond issued at a discount is calculated using the market interest rate at the time the bond was issued multiplied by the bond's book value at the beginning of the year.

Since the interest is paid semiannually, you would use 2% (4%/2) as the rate for each 6-month period. Therefore, if this bond was issued on January 1, 2021, the interest expense recorded in the December 31, 2021, annual income statement would be the sum of the interest expenses of the two 6-month periods in 2021.

The interest for the first six months would be $69,058 (book value at beginning of 2021) * 2% = $1,381.16. Then, the book value at the beginning of the second period would be $69,058 (initial book value) + $1,381.16 (first period interest) = $70,439.16. So, the interest expense for the second six months is $70,439.16 * 2% = $1,408.78.

So, the total interest expense that would be recorded in the December 31, 2021, annual income statement would be $1,381.16 (first six months interest) + $1,408.78 (second six months interest) = $2,789.94.

Final answer:

Jack's adjusted gross income (AGI) would be calculated by adding his salary ($167,500) and partnership income ($8,800) to get $176,300, then subtracting deductible alimony payments ($28,300) to arrive at an AGI of $148,000.

Explanation:

To calculate Jack's adjusted gross income (AGI), we must consider all sources of income and allowable deductions. First, we sum up all income sources:

This gives us a total income of $167,500 + $8,800 = $176,300.

Next, we subtract the deductions for AGI Jack is eligible to claim:

However, the moving expenses and interest on loans for qualified tuition costs are not deductible for AGI, as these types of deductions have been suspended or changed in recent tax reforms (unless the moving expenses are for certain members of the Armed Forces). As a result, we do not subtract the $4,300 moving expenses or the $5,000 interest for tuition costs from total income.

Finally, we calculate Jack's AGI:

Total income: $176,300
Minus deductible alimony: $28,300
Adjusted Gross Income (AGI): $148,000

Jack's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is calculated by adding his salary and partnership income, and then subtracting allowable deductions like interest on student loans, moving expenses, and alimony. The resulting AGI is $138,700.

Calculation of Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for Jack

To calculate Jack's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), we need to consider his total income and then subtract allowable deductions.

Total Income: Jack received a salary of $167,500 and reported an additional $8,800 from a half share of profits from a partnership.

Add these amounts to get the Total Income:

Salary: $167,500

Partnership Income: $8,800

Total Income: $167,500 + $8,800 = $176,300

Deductions:

Interest on qualified student loans: $5,000

Moving expenses: $4,300

Alimony paid (deductible if the divorce occurred before 2019, such as in Jack's case): $28,300

The total deductions are calculated as:

$5,000 + $4,300 + $28,300 = $37,600

Finally, subtract the total deductions from the total income to get the AGI:

AGI = $176,300 - $37,600 = $138,700

Therefore, Jack will report an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $138,700 in his married-joint return

Final answer:

The correct statement regarding costs within a relevant range is that a variable cost is variable in total and decreases per unit as the number of units increases. Fixed costs remain constant in total, while variable costs such as labor and raw materials vary directly with the level of output.

Explanation:

When discussing costs within a relevant range, it is important to understand how different types of costs behave in relation to production levels. Answer choice (a) states that a fixed cost is fixed in total and decreases per unit as the number of units increases. This is correct, as fixed costs, such as rent or salaries, do not change with the level of output; therefore, when more units are produced, the cost allocated to each unit of product becomes less.

Answer choices (b) and (d) incorrectly describe variable costs. Variable costs change in total depending on the level of production, but they do not decrease per unit as the number of units increases, nor do they increase per unit as the output increases. Instead, as indicated in choice (c), a variable cost is variable in total and decreases per unit as the volume of production increases, due to economies of scale and the spreading of fixed costs over more units. Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer.

Labor and raw materials are examples of variable costs because they vary directly with the level of output. The more goods or services produced, the more labor and raw materials are generally required, thus increasing the variable costs.

Final answer:

The flexible budget performance for July can be analyzed by calculating the revenue and spending variances as well as the activity variances. The revenue variance is -$3,050 and the spending variance is $180. The net operating income activity variance is -$2,852.

Explanation:

The flexible budget performance for July can be calculated by analyzing the revenue and spending variances as well as the activity variances.

(a) Revenue and Spending Variances:

The revenue variance can be calculated by finding the difference between the actual revenue and the flexible budget revenue. In this case, the revenue variance is $16,200 - $19,250 = -$3,050. The spending variances can be calculated by finding the difference between the actual expenses and the flexible budget expenses for each category. The total spending variance is $13,835 - $13,655 = $180.

(b) Activity Variances:

The activity variances can be calculated by finding the difference between the actual results and the planning budget results. The net operating income activity variance is $2,365 - $5,217 = -$2,852.

Answer:

d) $48.36

Explanation:

For computing the intrinsic value, first we have to compute the cost of equity by using CAPM Model which is shown below:

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 7% + 1.4 × (12.5% - 7%)

= 7% + 1.4 × 5.5%

= 7% + 7.7%

= 14.70%

Now the intrinsic value would be

In this question, we apply the Gordon model which is shown below:

= Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,  

Current year dividend

= $3 + $3 × 8%

= $3 + 0.24

= $3.24

The other items rate would remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= 3.24 ÷ (14.70% - 8%)

= $48.36

The intrinsic value of Hampton Corporation's common stock as per the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is calculated to be $48.36.

To calculate the intrinsic value of Hampton Corporation's common stock using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), we first need to determine the required rate of return. We use the formula: Risk-free rate + Beta*(Market rate of return - Risk-free rate), in this case is 7% + 1.4*(12.5% - 7%) = 14.3%.

Next, we calculate the expected dividend in the next year, which would be the recent dividend paid grown by the growth rate. That gives us $3.00 * 1.08 = $3.24.

The intrinsic value is calculated using the Gordon Growth Model which is the expected dividends divided by required rate of return minus the growth rate. Hence, the intrinsic value will be $3.24 / (14.3% - 8%) = $48.36.

Therefore, the option d) $48.36 is the correct answer.

D. Re-order point = 26 days

Explanation:

Given,

Annual Demand, D = 2,080 units

Number of working days = 320 days

Lead time = 4 days

We know,

Re-order point = (Annual demand/Number of working days)*Lead Time

Re-order point = (Annual demand/Number of working days)*Lead Time

Re-order point = (2,080/320)*4

Re-order point = (6.5*4)

Re-order point = 26 days

Therefore, the answer choice is D.

As there is no maximum and average lead time and no replenishment stock, I exclude the safety stock from the re-order point calculation.

= $20,000,000 - $3,000,000 - $4,000,000 - $800,000 - $210,000

= $11,990,000
