Answer:
Ford's weighted average cost of capital is 8.22 %
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the minimum return that the company expect from a project. It shows the risk of the company.
Calculation of WACC
WACC = Cost of equity + Cost of preferred stock + Cost of debt
Capital Source Market Values Weight Cost Total Cost
equity $ 7 billion 29.17% 13.6% 3.97 %
preferred stock $ 2 billion 8.33% 12% 1.00 %
debt $ 15 billion 62.50% 5.2 % 3.25%
Total $ 24 billion 8.22 %
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Risk Premium
= 4% + 1.2 × 8%
= 13.6%
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/Market Price
= $ 3/ $ 25 × 100
= 12%
Cost of debt = interest × (1- tax rate)
= 8% × (1-0.35)
= 5.2 %
Gomez Corp. uses the allowance method to account for uncollectibles. On January 31, it wrote off an $1,100 account of a customer, C. Green. On March 9, it receives a $600 payment from Green. 1. Prepare the journal entry for January 31 2. Prepare the journal entries for March 9; assume no additional money is expected from Green.
Answer:
1.
January 31
Dr. Allowance for uncollectible accounts $1,100
Cr. Account Receivable $1,100
2.
March 9
Dr. Cash $600
Cr. Account Receivable $600
Dr. Account Receivable $600
Cr. Allowance for uncollectible accounts $600
Explanation:
A receivable is written off on January, 31, it reduces the account receivable balance and record this amount in Allowance for uncollectible account to adjust the value in the expense for the period by making adjusting entry later on.
When the amount recovered from the written off receivable the entry reversed by passing through the receivable account to again settle that receivable amount in the Allowance for uncollectible account. It effect will be adjusted in the period end adjusting entries.
Molly decided to try and save money on her textbooks this semester. Instead of buying new books at the campus bookstore, Molly did the following: Molly and Pat signed a written contract that stated that "Pat will furnish the correct used business law book for use in Molly's business law class; and in return on January 15, 2017, Molly promises to pay Pat $50 for the book." Molly took the book and planned to pay Pat. Meanwhile, Pat properly assigned the contract to Jack because she owed him money. When Molly went to the first class session, however, she discovered that the book that she had received from Pat was no longer being used in that class. When Jack asked Molly for payment for the book, Molly refused to pay him. Molly told Jack that the book was useless to her and that she was not paying either him or Pat anything for it. Nor would she give him or Pat the book. Jack told Molly that he had an enforceable assignment in the form of a negotiable instrument and that he could collect regardless of whether the book was useless. Molly said she did not believe him, and ignored his requests for payment. Continuing with her attempt to save money on books, Molly agreed to buy Tim's U.S. history book for $40. She had an oral agreement with Tim that he would give her the book and that she would pay him in three days. This time Molly got the right book. Tim, in writing, properly assigned the right to the $40 payment to Richard. Three days later, Richard asked Molly for the money. Molly admitted she had agreed to pay Tim in three days, but told Richard that she was not going to pay him because he did not have a negotiable instrument. Nor did she pay Tim. Molly also purchased a communications book from Sam and in writing promised by the end of the week to give him a used DVD player she owned as payment. Two weeks have elapsed, and Molly still not given Sam the DVD player, even though he has made repeated requests. Does Jack have a negotiable instrument and can he collect from Molly? Why or why not? How about Richard? And Sam? Discuss and explain in detail the relevant law for each of the three scenarios set forth in this exam question.
Answer:
Does Jack have a negotiable instrument and can he collect from Molly? Why or why not?
Jack does not have a valid negotiable instrument and cannot collect from Molly because the book was not "correct" since it was no longer used in the business law class. Molly should return incorrect book to Pat though. In this contract, neither party performed.How about Richard?
Tim's oral agreement with Molly is valid since the amount is only $40 and Tim can assign it to Richard, but the assignment must be written. Without a written assignment of the debt, Richard cannot collect any money.And Sam?
Sam does have written agreement that can be legally enforceable. Although the costs and time of enforcing the contract are probably higher than the DVD (consideration).What performance criteria include a broad range of knowledge, skills, traits, and behaviors that are needed to perform a job successfully? A) credibilities B) competencies C) accomplishments D) future possibilities
Answer:
B). Competencies.
Explanation:
These are skill, qualities, knowledge and behavioural traits that makes an applicant worthy of a job.
They are often used as benchmarks to rate and evaluate candidates during the recruitment process, especially when reviewing application forms and at interview.
During the recruitment process, you will likely be asked competency based questions, and the recruiter will use your answers to determine your suitability.
You should therefore identify the key competencies of any given role at the beginning of the application process, and match your skills and experience to them.
On January 1, Year 3, Wayfarer Co.'s assets were $365,000 and its stockholders' equity was $153,000. During the year, assets increased $21,500 and liabilities decreased $23,000. Required: Determine the amount of stockholders' equity at December 31, Year 3.
Final answer:
Stockholders' equity at December 31, Year 3 is determined to be $197,500. This is calculated by adding the initial equity to the net increase in assets and decrease in liabilities over the year.
Explanation:
The calculation of stockholders' equity at the end of Year 3 can be determined using the basic accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity. We know that at the start of the year, Wayfarer Co. had assets of $365,000 and stockholders' equity of $153,000. During the year, assets increased by $21,500 and liabilities decreased by $23,000.
To find the stockholders' equity at the end of the year, we adjust the initial equity balance by the change in assets and liabilities. The new value of assets at year-end is $365,000 (beginning assets) + $21,500 (increase in assets) = $386,500. Given that liabilities decreased, this change will directly increase stockholders' equity. So, the change in equity is the increase in assets of $21,500 plus the decrease in liabilities of $23,000, totaling $44,500.
The new stockholders' equity is $153,000 (initial equity) + $44,500 (change in equity) = $197,500 at December 31, Year 3.

If Quik Fix Auto feels that the parts shipped could suffice even if they do not meet the specifications, they can reach an agreement and keep the shipment. Therefore, the answer is (B) can reject it.
Sunland Company manufactures and sells high-priced motorcycles. The Engine Division produces and sells engines to other motorcycle companies and internally to the Production Division. It has been decided that the Engine Division will sell 26000 units to the Production Division at 1050 a unit. The Engine Division, currently operating at capacity, has a unit sales price of $3150 and unit variable costs and fixed costs of $1050 and $2100, respectively. The Production Division is currently paying $3000 per unit to an outside supplier. $90 per unit can be saved on internal sales from reduced selling expenses. What is the increase/decrease in overall company profits if this transfer takes place?
a. Decrease $1,200,000
b. Increase $2,520,000
c. Decrease $3,000,000
d. Increase $27,000,000
Final answer:
The transfer of engine units from the Engine Division to the Production Division results in a loss of $2100 per unit. With 26000 units, this equates to a $54,600,000 decrease in revenue for the Engine Division. After accounting for the Production Division's savings, the overall company profit decreases by $6,240,000; however, this result does not match any provided options.
Explanation:
To calculate the change in overall company profits resulting from the internal transfer of engine units, we must analyze the costs and savings associated with the transfer. The engine division sells externally at $3150 per unit. For internal sales, the transfer price is $1050. The production division currently buys externally at $3000 per unit. Then, we need to account for the saving on reduced selling expenses of $90 per unit for internal transactions.
First, we calculate the lost revenue for the Engine Division for each unit transferred to the Production Division: $3150 (external sale price) - $1050 (internal transfer price) = $2100 lost per unit. For 26000 units, that's a total loss of $54,600,000. However, this is not the final profit impact on the company, as we have to account for the savings made by the Production Division.
Next, we find the savings per unit for the Production Division: $3000 (external purchase price) - $1050 (internal transfer price) - $90 (savings on selling expenses) = $1860 savings per unit. For 26000 units, the Production Division saves $48,360,000.
Subtracting the loss from the Engine Division from the savings of the Production Division, we get the total change in company profit: $48,360,000 (savings) - $54,600,000 (loss) = decrease of $6,240,000. Hence, the overall company profits will decrease, but this is not one of the provided options, which highlights an inconsistency in the question or provided options.
Tenet Engineering, Inc. operates two user divisions as separate cost objects. To determine the costs of each division, the company allocates common costs to the divisions. During the past month, the following common costs were incurred: Computer services (85% fixed) $260,000 Building occupancy 600,000 Personnel costs 110,000 Total common costs $970,000 The following information is available concerning various activity measures and service usages by each of the divisions: Division A Division B Area occupied (square feet) 20,000 40,000 Payroll $380,000 $180,000 Computer time (hours) 200 220 Computer storage (megabytes) 4,050 -0- Equipment value $200,000 $250,000 Operating profit (pre-allocations) $555,000 $495,000 If common computer service costs are allocated using computer time as the allocation basis, what is the computer cost allocated to Division B
Answer:
$136,190
Explanation:
The computation of computer cost allocated to Division B is shown below:-
Computer cost allocated to Division B = Computer service cost × Computer time of Division B ÷ Total computer time.
= $260,000 × 220 ÷ (200 + 220)
= $260,000 × 220 ÷ 420
= $260,000 × 0.5238
= $136,190
Therefore for computing the computer cost allocated to Division B we simply applied the above formula.
Final answer:
The computer cost allocated to Division B, based on the use of computer time, amounts to approximately $136,190.48, which is derived by taking Division B's computer time as a proportion of the total computer time used by both divisions and applying it to the total computer service costs.
Explanation:
To determine the computer cost allocated to Division B using computer time as the allocation basis, we first need to consider the total computer service costs. The costs given for computer services are $260,000, of which 85% is fixed. However, since the allocation is based on computer time, the entire $260,000 should be considered, irrespective of whether it is fixed or variable.
Next, we have to calculate the total computer time used by both divisions:
Division A: 200 hours Division B: 220 hours
The total computer time used is 200 hours + 220 hours = 420 hours.
Now, we can determine the proportion of the total computer service costs attributable to Division B:
(Computer service costs) x (Division B computer time / Total computer time)
Which is:
($260,000) x (220 hours / 420 hours) = $260,000 x (0.52381)
Therefore, the cost of technology allocated to Division B for computer services is approximately $136,190.48.
Narchie sells a single product for $50. Variable costs are 60% of the selling price, and the company has fixed costs that amount to $400,000. Current sales total 16,000 units. Narchie: _ _ _ _A) will break-even by selling 20,000 units.B) will break-even by selling 13,333 units.C) will break-even by selling 8,000 units.D) will break-even by selling 1,000,000 units.E) cannot break-even because it loses money on every unit sold.
D) will break-even by selling 1,000,000 units.
E) cannot break-even because it loses money on every unit sold.
Explanation:
Two of the statements are applicable
Narchie:
Will break-even by selling 1,000,000 units.Cannot break-even because it loses money on every unit sold.The break-even point shall be calculated by dividing the gross fixed production costs by the product price per unit less the variable cost of production. Fixed costs are those that stay the same, irrespective of how many units are delivered.
Suppose government spending increases. True or False: The effect on aggregate demand would be larger if the Federal Reserve held the money supply constant in response than if the Fed were committed to maintaining a fixed interest rate.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
When the government increases spending, aggregate demand increases. This leads to increase in demand of money.
If federal reserve holds money supply constant in this case, interest rate will increase. This will lead to 'crowding out' of private investment; & the total effect of government investment increase on AD is lesser.
If government keeps the interest rate constant, the private investment 'crowding out' effect will not occur. No private investment crowding out effect, & the total effect of government investment increase on AD is lesser.
So; The effect on aggregate demand would be lesser if the Federal Reserve held the money supply constant in response than if the Fed were committed to maintaining a fixed interest rate.
Ideally, a company reaches a point where increases in operating efficiency mean that expenses as a percentage of sales revenue flatten or even decline. This is referred to as ________.
Answer:
Ideally, a company reaches a point where increases in operating efficiency mean that expenses as a percentage of sales revenue flatten or even decline. This is referred to as operating leverage.
Ideally, a company achieves a point called constant economies of scale, where operating efficiency improvements cause expenses as a percentage of sales revenue to flatten or decline, signaling significant operational efficiency.
Ideally, a company reaches a point where increases in operating efficiency mean that expenses as a percentage of sales revenue flatten or even decline. This is referred to as constant economies of scale. Constant economies of scale occur when a business that has achieved its least minimum efficient scale sees its long-run average cost remain about the same with continued increases in the size of its operation. Achieving constant economies of scale is significant as it indicates a level of operating efficiency where the business can sustain or even improve profitability with growing operations. It is crucial in competitive seller markets for survival, as it allows a firm to push market prices below the costs of smaller firms, thus leveraging economies of scale for competitive advantage.

Imagine that you are holding 5,100 shares of stock, currently selling at $30 per share. You are ready to sell the shares but would prefer to put off the sale until next year due to tax reasons. If you continue to hold the shares until January, however, you face the risk that the stock will drop in value before year-end. You decide to use a collar to limit downside risk without laying out a good deal of additional funds. January call options with a strike price of $35 are selling at $1, and January puts with a strike price of $25 are selling at $2. What will be the value of your portfolio in January (net of the proceeds from the options) if the stock price ends up at $21, $30, $41? What will the value of your portfolio be if you simply continued to hold the shares?
Answer:
If stock is continued to hold $107,100, $153,000, $209,100.
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the value of your portfolio if u simply continued to hold the shares.
The stock holding = 5100
the current price = 30
The value of the portfolio is = 5100 * 30 =$ 153,000
The strike price= $21
The portfolio value is = 5100 * $21 = $107,100
The stock price = 5100 * $41 = $209,100
Thus,
The value of the portfolio calculation (net option proceed)
The current price =$30
Value of portfolio = Holding value + received from call option + paid to buy option
=5100 * 30 + 5100 * 1-5100 * 2
= $147,900
The strike price = $21
The January stock price = $ 25
The profit of option selling = $25 -$21 = $4 * 5100 = $20, 400
Value of portfolio = Holding value + received from call option + paid to buy option
= 5100 * 21 + 5100 * 1-5100 *2 + $20,400
which is = $122,400
Then,
The strike price = $4
The selling option loss = $41-$35= $6 * 5100 = $30,600
Value of portfolio = Holding value + received from call option + paid to buy option
which is = 5100 * 41 + 5100 * 1-5100 * 2 + $30,600
= $173, 400
Therefore
Stock price $21 $30 $41
if collar used $122,400 $147,900 $173,400
If stock is continued to hold stocks$107,100 $153,000 $209,100
If a bond is currently trading at its face (par) value, then it must be the case that: A. the bond's yield to maturity is equal to its coupon rate. B. the bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.
Answer:
A) the bond's yield to maturity is equal to its coupon rate
Explanation:
If the bonds yield to maturity is equal to its coupon rate it means that the interest paid by the buyers on the face value of the bond is equal to the internal rate of return for the present value of future cash flow. Only in this scenario, a bond is traded at its face or par value.
Suppose a seven-year, $ 1 comma 000 bond with a 7.8 % coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading with a yield to maturity of 6.50 %.If the yield to maturity of the bond rises to 7.20 % (APR with semiannual compounding), what price will the bond trade for?
Answer:
The price of the bond is 1,072.19
Explanation:
The price at which the bond trades for can be computed using the pv formula in excel which tries to discount to present value all the cash inflows receivable from the bond into today's present worth.
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the yield to maturity of 6.50% divided by 2 since the bond pays interest semi-annually i.e 3.25%
nper is the number of coupon payments the bond would pay which is 7 years multiplied by 2 i.e 14
pmt is the semi-annual interest of the bond which is $1000*7.8%/2=$39
the fv is the face value of the bond of $1000
=-pv(6.5%/2,14,39,1000)=$1,072.19

The following is not a category of facts that provide verification of the level of control and independence in determining whether the person is an employee or an independent contractor for the managing broker.
a. Length of relationship
b. Type of relationship
c. Financial Behavioral
Final answer:
The question pertains to distinguishing an employee from an independent contractor using various factors. Option 'c' in the question, 'Financial Behavioral,' is incorrect as the recognized categories are Behavioral Control, Financial Control, and Type of Relationship, which includes consideration of the length of the relationship.
Explanation:
The question addresses the determination of employment status, specifically the criteria used to distinguish between an employee and an independent contractor in the context of property management or real estate business. According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and various employment laws, there are several factors to consider when determining whether a worker is an employee or independent contractor. These factors are generally categorized under three main headings:
Behavioral control (how much control the business has over the work done)Financial control (how the business aspects of the worker’s job are handled)Type of relationship (how the worker and business perceive their interaction)However, option 'c' in the given question mentions 'Financial Behavioral' which is not a recognized category. The correct categories are Behavioral Control, Financial Control, and Type of Relationship. The length of the relationship may also be considered, but it falls under the broader 'type of relationship' category.
In August, one of the processing departments at Knepp Corporation had beginning work in process inventory of $17,000 and ending work in process inventory of $13,000. During the month, $178,000 of costs were added to production.In the department's cost reconciliation report for August, the cost of units transferred out of the department would be:
Ahngram Corp. has 1,000 defective units of a product that cost $2.70 per unit in direct costs and $6.20 per unit in indirect cost when produced last year. The units can be sold as scrap for $3.70 per unit or reworked at an additional cost of $2.20 and sold at full price of $11.10. The incremental net income (loss) from the choice of reworking the units would be: Multiple Choice $2,200. $0. $8,900. $3,700. ($2,200).
Answer:
the incremental net income from reworking the units would be $8,900
Explanation:
Consider the incremental costs and revenues arising on reworking the units
Note : Manufacturing costs already incurred on the defective units are sunk costs and are therefore irrelevant for this decision.
Sales (1,000×$11.10) $11,100
Less Costs to of reworking (1,000×$2.20) ($2,200)
Net Income $8,900
Therefore, the incremental net income from reworking the units would be $8,900
Stopher Incorporated makes a single product. The company has a standard cost system in which it applies overhead to this product based on machine-hours. Data for last year appear below: budgeted variable overhead $ 45,220 budgeted production 20,000 units standard machine-hours per unit 1.90 machine-hours actual production 21,000 units actual variable overhead $66,789 actual machine-hours 36,900 machine-hours The variable component of the predetermined overhead rate is closest to:
Answer:
$1.19 per machine-hour
Explanation:
Variable component of the predetermined overhead rate =
Budgeted variable overhead $ 45,220
÷
Budgeted production 20,000 units ×Standard machine-hours per unit 1.90 machine-hours =38,000
Hence:
$45,220/38,000 machine-hours
= $1.19 per machine-hour
Therefore the variable component of the predetermined overhead rate is closest to: $1.19 per machine-hour
You have $12,000 to invest and would like to create a portfolio with an expected return of 9.75 percent. You can invest in Stock K with an expected return of 8.05 percent and Stock L with an expected return of 11.7 percent. How much will you invest in Stock K?
$5,589.04
$7,452.05
$4,890.41
$5,876.71
$6,410.96
Answer:
Correct option is $6410.96
Explanation:
Let investment in K=$x
Hence investment in L=(12000-x)
Portfolio return=Respective return*Respective weights
9.75=(x/12000*8.05)+(12000-x)/12000*11.7
(9.75*12000)=8.05x+140400-11.7x
117000=8.05x+140400-11.7x
x=(140400-117000)/(11.7-8.05)
=$6410.96(Approx)=investment in K
Allison's is expected to have annual free cash flow of $62,000, $65,400, and $68,900 for the next three years, respectively. After that, the free cash flow is expected to increase at a constant rate of 2 percent per year. At a discount rate of 14.5 percent, what is the present value of this firm?
Answer:
Present value of the firm = $ 524,467.50
Explanation:
Using the free cash flow, the value of a firm is the the present value of the free cash discounted at the appropriate cost of capital.
Year PV
1 62,000× (1.145)^(-1) = 54,148.47162
2 65,400 × (1.145)^(-2) = 49,884.63225
3 68,900 × (1,145)^(-3) = 45, 898.95119
4 to infinity ( see working below) $374,535.44
Workings
Present value from Year 4 to infinity (this will be done in two steps)
Step 1
PV in year 3 = FCF × (1+g)/(WACC- g)
FCF -68,900, g =2%, WACC - 14.5%
= ( 68,900 × 1.02(/0.145-0.02)
= $562,224.00
Step 2
PV in year 0 = PV in year 3 × (1+r)^(-3)
= $562,224.00 × (1.145^(-3)
= $374,535.44
The present value of Allison =
54,148.47 + 49,884.63 +45,898.95 +374,535.44
= $ 524,467.50

An outside supplier has offered to supply the 50,000 units of RX5 for $18.00 per unit. Required: 1. Calculate the incremental costs of making and buying component RX5.
Answer:
It is cheaper to buy the product than producing it.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 50,000 units of RX5 follows. Direct materials $ 5.00 Direct labor 8.00 Overhead 9.00 Total costs per unit $ 22.00 Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. The Overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 50,000 units of RX5 for $18.00 per unit.
First, we need to calculate the total cost of making the product:
The total cost of producing 50,000 units:
Direct material= 50,000*5= 250,000
Direct labor= 50,000*8= 400,000
Total overhead= 50,000*9= 450,000
Total cost= 1,100,000
Total cost of purchasing:
Buying= 50,000*18= 900,000
Unavoidable overhead= 50,000*(9*0.2)= 90,000
Total cost= 990,000
It is cheaper to buy the product than producing it.
Henry Quincy wants to withdraw $30,000 each year for 10 years from a fund that earns 8% interest. How much must he invest today if the first withdrawal is at year-end? How much must he invest today if the first withdrawal takes place immediately?
Answer:
Amount invested today when first withdrawal end year $201302
Amount invested today when first withdrawal immediately $217407
Explanation:
given data
Annuity = $30,000
Rate r = 8% = 0.08
time Period NPER = 10 years
solution
we get here first present value of ordinary annuity that is
Annuity(PV, NPER, r)
= $30,000 (PV,10,8%)
= 6.71008
Present value = $30,000 × 6.71008
Present value = $201302.44
and
when he invest today if the first withdrawal takes place immediately is
Present value = $30,000 × 6.71008 × 1.08
Present value = $217406.64
Final answer:
Henry Quincy must invest approximately $196,114.32 if the first withdrawal from an annuity earning 8% interest is at year-end, or $211,803.47 if the first withdrawal is immediate. The difference is due to the nature of the annuity, with the immediate withdrawal requiring a higher initial investment.
Explanation:
To determine how much Henry Quincy must invest today to withdraw $30,000 each year for 10 years from a fund that earns 8% interest, we need to calculate the present value of an annuity. The calculation differs depending on whether the first withdrawal is at year-end (ordinary annuity) or immediately (annuity due).
Ordinary Annuity (First Withdrawal at Year-End)
The formula for the present value of an ordinary annuity is PVA = PMT \\times [1 - [tex](1 + r)^{-n}[/tex]] / r, where PMT is the annual payment ($30,000), r is the interest rate (0.08), and n is the number of years (10). After computing, Henry Quincy's initial investment should be approximately $196,114.32.
Annuity Due (First Withdrawal Takes Place Immediately)
For an annuity due, the calculation is slightly different since payments are made at the beginning of each period. The present value is calculated using the same formula as an ordinary annuity but then multiplying the result by (1 + r). Thus, the initial investment for an annuity due would be approximately $211,803.47.
These calculations allow Henry to understand how much to invest today to achieve his financial goals, whether the withdrawal is immediate or deferred to the end of the year.

The payment date reflects the date a cash dividend is paid to stockholders.
Answer:
A large stock dividend is a distribution of more than 25% of previously outstanding shares.
The account Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value is always credited when a large stock dividend is declared.
Explanation:
A dividend is considering parsing or separating out profit sharing. A dividend has also, tax rate. For example, there is sometimes in the world situation where we get to see increasing of values of stock and in that time, shareholder can choose what he will do. He can sell the stock and if he does that, he will have to play a tax on capital gains.
So, if someone is sharing a dividend stock, he will be paid an amount of money that the company will earn in the meantime. Companies can device when and how will they pay their dividends.
Large stock dividends, the use of dividends as signals of corporate health, and the significance of the payment date in cash dividends are all correctly described statements. However, it's not always the case that the account Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value is credited when a large stock dividend is declared.
Explanation:The following statements are true:
A large stock dividend is indeed defined as a distribution of more than 25% of previously outstanding shares. The company issues additional shares to stockholders relative to the shares those stockholders already own. A stock dividend can indicate management's confidence in the company's well-being. It's a way of returning profits back to shareholders, which is often seen as a positive signal of the company's financial health. The payment date does reflect the day a cash dividend is paid to stockholders. It's the date on which the company actually dispatches the dividend to the shareholders.However, the statement that the account Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value is always credited when a large stock dividend is declared is not necessarily true. This account represents the amount received from the issue of stock that is above its par value, but whether it is credited or not depends on the specific accounting practices of the company.

Because this market is a monopolistically competitive market, you can tell that it is in long-run equilibrium by the fact that at the optimal quantity for each firm. Furthermore, the quantity the firm produces in long-run equilibrium is the efficient scale. True or False: This indicates that there is a markup on marginal cost in the market for jackets. True False Monopolistic competition may also be socially inefficient because there are too many or too few firms in the market. The presence of the externality implies that there is too little entry of new firms in the market.
Monopolistically competitive market in a long run detailed description is given below.
Explanation:
The difference between the short‐run and the long‐run in a monopolistically competitive market is that in the long‐run new firms can enter the market, which is especially likely if firms are earning positive economic profits in the short‐run. New firms will be attracted to these profit opportunities and will choose to enter the market in the long‐run. In contrast to a monopolistic market, no barriers to entry exist in a monopolistically competitive market; hence, it is quite easy for new firms to enter the market in the long‐run.The entry of new firms leads to an increase in the supply of differentiated products, which causes the firm's market demand curve to shift to the left. As entry into the market increases, the firm's demand curve will continue shifting to the left until it is just tangent to the average total cost curve at the profit maximizing level of output, At this point, the firm's economic profits are zero, and there is no longer any incentive for new firms to enter the market. Thus, in the long‐run, the competition brought about by the entry of new firms will cause each firm in a monopolistically competitive market to earn normal profits, just like a perfectly competitive firm.
Excess capacity. a monopolistically competitive firm ends up choosing a level of output that is below its minimum efficient scale,When the firm produces below its minimum efficient scale, it is under‐utilizing its available resources. In this situation, the firm is said to have excess capacity because it can easily accommodate an increase in production. This excess capacity is the major social cost of a monopolistically competitive market structure.
Monopolistic competition has exclusive control over the means of production and prices. The frequency arises from the govt support.
In the long run, the monopolistically competition will make the market for the good where the long-run curve intersects the marginal revenue. This will lead to breakeven in in the longer run. Hence the option is true. The monopolistic competition may also create social inefficiencies as there too many firms.Learn more about the market as a monopolistically competitive market.

Rockville Corporation is going to borrow $250,000 from its bank at an APR of 8.5 percent. The bank requires its customers to maintain a 10 percent compensating balance. What is the effective interest rate on this bank loan? Round to 4 decimal places and enter percentages as a decimal
Answer: 0.0944 ( 4 dp)
Explanation:
To calculate the effective interest rate we will go in stages.
First we calculate the compensated balance deposit of 10%,
= 250,000*10%
= $,25,000
Subtracting it from the loan amount will give us the effective borrowing.
Effective borrowing = 250,000-25,000
= $225,000
Then we find out the interest expense on the original amount which is,
Interest expense = Amount borrowed * Interest rate
= 250,000*8.5%
= $21,250
The reason we calculated the above is because we need that figure in the effective interest rate formula which goes like,
Effective interest rate = Interest expense / Effective borrowing amount
= 21,250/225,000
= 0.094444444
= 0.0944
Effective interest rate is 0.0944 ( 4 dp)
Answer:
9.4%
Explanation:
Compensating balance amount = $250,000 * 10% = $25,000
Interest expenses = $250,000 * 8.5% = 21,250
Effective interest rate = $21,250/($250,000 - $25,000) = 0.0944, or 9.4%
Therefor, the effective interest rate is 9.4%.
Note: The effective interest rate of 9.4% is higher than the APR of 8.5% because of the compensating balance.
A manufacturer has budgeted sales for the first quarter of the next year to be 35 comma 000 units. The inventory in hand at the beginning of quarter is 3 comma 000 units. The desired ending inventory is 5 comma 000 units. Calculate the budgeted production for the quarter.
Answer:
Production= 37,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Budgeted sales= 35,000 units
Beginning invnetory= 3,000
Desired ending inventory= 5,000
To calculate the required production, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 35,000 + 5,000 - 3,000
Production= 37,000 units
