Answer:
A
Explanation:
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.
Hourly wage costs and payments for production inputs are variable costs
Total fixed cost = 20,000 x 20 = 400,000
80,000 x 5 = 400,000
c is fixed cost
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
If a producer decides not to produce any output, there would be no need to hire labour and thus no need to pay hourly wages.
Variable cost is constant per unit produced. Thus A, is variable cost
Mixed cost is cost that combines fixed cost and variable cost
Everything else held constant, in the market for reserves, when the federal funds rate is 2%, lowering the interest rate paid on excess reserves rate from 1% to 0.5% has no effect on the federal funds rate. has an indeterminate effect on the federal funds rate. lowers the federal funds rate. raises the federal funds rate.
Answer: lowers the federal funds rate.
Explanation:
The federal funds rate is the rate at which banks lend money to their selves overnight to ensure that they meet lending and reserve requirements.
The interest rate paid on excess reserves rate is the amount of interest that the Fed pays banks to keep excess reserves. If this rate was to decrease, banks would have less incentive to keep excess reserves at the Fed and so would have more money to meet lending and reserve requirements such that they won't need to borrow from other banks as much which would then lead to the federal funds rate decreasing due to less demand.

Schnusenberg Corporation just paid a dividend of D0 = $0.75 per share, and that dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.50% per year in the future. The company's beta is 0.75, the required return on the market is 10.50%, and the risk-free rate is 4.50%. What is the company's current stock price? Do not round intermediate calculations. a. $27.80 b. $33.23 c. $31.63 d. $28.76 e. $31.95
Answer:
Option E is correct
Price of share = $31.95
Explanation:
The price of the share is the future dividend discounted at the required rate of return .
The required rate of return is the cost of equity . The cost of equity is computed as follows:
Cost of equity = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf= 4.50, Rm= 10.50, β= 0,75
Ke= 4.50% + 0.75×(10.50-4.50)
Ke= 9%
Price of share = Do×(1+g)/(Ke-g)
Price of the share = 0.75 × (1.065)/(0.09-0.065)
= 31.95
Price of share = $31.95

Suppose you are thinking of starting your own small business. Consider how your accounting profit is different than your economic profit.
1. Accounting profit is different than economic profit because:
a. economic profit is only important to economists and does not apply to the actual decision to launch a new business.
b. accounting profit includes all financial and opportunity costs of starting a business.
c. economic profit is what is reported on your tax return.
d. accounting profit ignores the opportunity cost of launching a new business
2. b. After doing your research, you are confident that you will make an accounting profit if you launch the business but feel it is very unlikely that you will make an economic profit. In this case, you__________ start the business.
Answer:
d
should
Explanation:
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Total revenue =price x quantity sold
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business.
They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
A company should still continue its operations if only economic profit would be earned. This is because in some industries, in the long run, economic profit cannot be earned. For example, in perfect competition
Selected financial information for ELX Corporation is reproduced below: 1. Net operating assets (NOA) turnover (average NOA equals ending NOA) is 4. 2. Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) margin is 6% 3. Leverage ratio (average net financial obligation to average common equity) is 2.5, and the spread is 7.3%. What is ELX's return on common equity
Answer:
the Return on common equity is 43.45%
Explanation:
The computation of the return on common equity is shown below;
As we know that
Return on common equity = Return on net operating assets + leverage × spread
= (4.2 × 6%) + 2.5 × 7.3%
= 25.2% + 18.25%
= 43.45%
Hence, the Return on common equity is 43.45%
The above formula should be applied for the same
Normally you will see US Labor Productivity Increasing at an annual rate of around 6%. In reading the book you should see that it must continue to increase for our country to continue to have the standard of living that we do. What seemed odd to me was that in the 3rd Quarter of 2009, while our country is in the midst of a very deep recession, this number went to 14.8%. In the 4th Quarter it dropped to 6.4% and in the 1st Quarter of this year it was at 2.5%. Why the Big Spike in the 3rd Quarter of 2009
Answer: c) Employees are fearful of losing their jobs, so they are working harder and complaining less.
Explanation:
Research has shown that during periods of recession, people tend to work harder than they do before the recession which has the effect of boosting productivity levels during that period.
The simply reason for this is, fear. In a recession, businesses come under a lot of pressure to reduce their workforce in order to save costs which leads to a rise in unemployment. Workers that are laid off are usually the unproductive ones so workers begin to put in more work during this time so that they do not get laid off.

Based on Easton Corporation's analysis, the project has a net present value of $57,625.
1. Refer to Rhodes Corporation. What discount rate did the company use to compute the net present value? Present value tables or a financial calculator are required.
a. 10 %
b. 11 %
c. 12 %
d. 13 %
2. Refer to Rhodes Corporation. What is the project's profitability index?
a. 1.058

3. Refer to Rhodes Corporation. What is the project's internal rate of return? Present value tables or a financial calculator are required.
a. between 12.5 and 13.0 percent
b. between 11.0 and 11.5 percent
c. between 11.5 and 12.0 percent
d. between 13.0 and 13.5 percent
Answer and Explanation:
1. The discount rate is
If we go through the options
like we assume 10%
So, the net present value is
= ($250,000 × 4.3553) - $1,000,000
= $1,088,825 - $1,000,000
= $88,825
Now if the discount rate is 11%
So, the net present value os
= ($250,000 × 4.2305) - $1,000,000
= $1,057,625 - $1,000,000
= $57,625
So the net present value is $57,625
2. The profitability index is
= ($1,000,000 + $57,625) ÷ ($1,000,000)
= 1.058
3. The internal rate of return is
It is 12.98% that lies between 12.5% and 13%

An appliance store sells 500 units of a particular type of dishwasher each year. The demand for this product is essentially constant throughout the year. The store orders its products from a regional supplier, and it typically takes two weeks for the dishwashers to arrive after an order has been placed. Each time an order is placed, an ordering cost of $1,000 is incurred. Each dishwasher costs the hardware store $300 and retails for $550. The store's annual cost of capital is estimated to be 7% per year.
Using the economic order quantity (EOQ) formula, determine the optimal order quantity
Answer:
161 units
Explanation:
Economic order quantity = √[(2 x annual demand x orderign cost) / annual holding cost per unit]
annual demand = 500 units
ordering cost = $1,000
holding cost = $550 x 7% = $38.50
EOQ = √[(2 x 500 x $1,000) / $38.50] = 161.16 units ≈ 161 units
You work for a mature company with a long history in the industry and have been given stock options. Which of the following are you most likely wanting to see happen with top line (revenue) and bottom line (net profit) growth rates?

B. Top line growing faster than bottom line.
C. Bottom line growing faster than top line.
D. Both top and bottom line growing at the same rate.
Answer: D. Both top and bottom line growing at the same rate.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the most likely thing will be for the top and bottom line growing at the same rate. This implies that both the revenue and the net profit grow at same rate.
It's vital for them to grow at a steady rate in order to ensure stability. The top line growing faster than bottom line or the bottom line growing faster than top line isn't good for the stock options.

Your child is planning attend summer camp for 3 months, starting 12 months from now. The cost for camp is $2,676 per month, each month, for the 3 months she will attend. If your investments earn 2.3% APR (compounded monthly), how much must you invest each month, starting next month, for 3 months such that your investment will grow to just cover the cost of the camp
Answer:
Monthly deposit= $2,625.16
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total cost= 2,676*3= $8,028
Monthly interest rate0 0.023/12= 0.00192
First, we need to calculate the nominal value required at the end of the third month:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
FV= 8,028
i= 0.00192
n= 9 months
PV= 8,028 / (1.00192^9)
PV= $7,890.6
Now, the monthly investment to reach $7,890.6:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (7,890.6*0.00192) / [(1.00192^3) - 1]
A= $2,625.16

Firms HL and LL are identical except for their leverage ratios and the interest rates they pay on debt. Each has $25 million in invested capital, has $5 million of EBIT, and is in the 40% federal-plus-state tax bracket. Firm HL, however, has a debt-to-capital ratio of 55% and pays 11% interest on its debt, whereas LL has a 20% debt-to-capital ratio and pays only 10% interest on its debt. Neither firm uses preferred stock in its capital structure.
1. Calculate the return on invested capital (ROIC) for each firm. Round your answers to two decimal places.
ROIC for firm LL is %
ROIC for firm HL is %
2. Calculate the rate of return on equity (ROE) for each firm. Round your answers to two decimal places.
ROE for firm LL is %
ROE for firm HL is %
3. Observing that HL has a higher ROE, LL's treasurer is thinking of raising the debt-to-capital ratio from 20% to 60%, even though that would increase LL's interest rate on all debt to 15%. Calculate the new ROE for LL. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
A. ROIC for firm LL 12%
ROIC for firm HL 12%
B. ROE for firm LL 13.5%
ROE for firm HL 18.6%
C. New ROE for firm LL 16.5%
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the return on invested capital (ROIC) for each firm
Using this formula
ROIC=EBIT(1-T)/Total Invested Capital
Let plug in the formula
ROIC=$5 million(1-.40)/$25 million
ROIC=$5 million*.60/$25 million
ROIC=$3 million/$25 million
ROIC=0.12*100
ROIC=12% for both firms
Therefore the return on invested capital (ROIC) for each firm is:
ROIC for firm LL is 12%
ROIC for firm HL is 12%

All of the following are weaknesses of the payback period: _________
a. it uses cash flows, not income,
b. it is easy to use.
c. it ignores all cash flows after the payback period.
d. it ignores the time value of money.
Answer:
c. it ignores all cash flows after the payback period.
d. it ignores the time value of money.
Explanation:
As the name suggest, the payback period is the period that shows the time period in which the investment money could be paid back
Like we can take an example
Year 0 -$50,000
Year 1 $10,000
Year 2 $10,000
Year 3 $10,000
Year 4 $10,000
Year 5 $10,000
In this, the $50,000 would be paid back in 5 years
Now the weakness is this that it would ignored the cash flows and the times value of money
Consider the following financial statement information for the Hop Corporation:
Item
Beginning Ending Inventory $11,100 $12,100
Accounts receivable 6,100 6,400
Accounts payable 8,300 8,700
Net sales $91,000
Cost of goods sold 71,000
Calculate the operating and cash cycles
Answer: Operating cycle = 84.70 days
Cash cycle = 41 days
Explanation:
Beginning inventory = $11,100
Ending Inventory = $12,100
Average inventory = ($11100 + $12100)/2 = 11600
Average Accounts receivable = (6,100 + 6,400)/2 = 6250
Average Accounts payable = (8,300 + 8,700)/2 = 8500
Day sales in inventory = Average inventory × 365 / Cost of goods sold
= 11600 × 365 / 71000 = 59.63 days
Average collection period = Average receivable × 365 / Credit sales
= 6250 × 365 /91000 = 25.07 days
Average payment period = 43.70 days
Therefore, operating cycle will be:
= Day sales in inventory + Average collection period
= 59.63 days + 25.07 days
= 84.70 days
Cash cycle = Operating cycle - Average payment period
= 84.70 - 43.70
= 41 days
systems play a key role in helping organizations achieve goals, which are set forth in a(n) statement. Computers can be used by people at all levels of an organization. Workers use information systems to produce and manipulate information. Managers depend on information systems to supply data that is essential for long-term planning and short-term tactical planning. Transaction systems provide an organization with a way to collect, display, modify, or cancel transactions. These systems encompass activities such as general accounting, inventory tracking, and ecommerce. information systems typically build on the data collected by a TPS to produce reports that managers use to make the business decisions needed to solve routine, structured problems. A decision system helps workers and managers make non-routine decisions by constructing decision models that include data collected from internal and external sources. A(n) system is designed to analyze data and produce a recommendation or decision based on a set of facts and rules called a(n) base. These facts and rules can be written using an expert system shell or a programming language. A(n) engine evaluates the facts and rules to produce answers to questions posed to the system. Using a technique called logic, these systems can deal with imprecise data and problems that have more than one solution.

Explanation:
Advanced Company reports the following information for the current year. All beginning inventory amounts equaled $0 this year.
Units produced this year 35,000 units
Units sold this year 21,000 units
Direct materials $19 per unit
Direct labor $21 per unit
Variable overhead $3 per unit
Fixed overhead $175,000 in total
Given Advanced Company's data, and the knowledge that the product is sold for $71 per unit and operating expenses are $300,000. Compute the net income under absorption costing.
Answer:
$183,000
Explanation:
Advanced Company
Income Statement for the year - absorption costing
Sales ($71 x 21,000 units) $1,491,000
Less Cost of Sales ($1,008,000)
Gross Profit $483,000
Less Expenses
Operating expenses ($300,000)
Net Income $183,000
where,
Cost of Sales = Units Sold x Product Cost
= 21,000 x $48
= $1,008,000
Product Cost = all manufacturing costs (absorption costing)
= $19 + $21 + $3 + ($175,000 ÷ 35,000)
= $48
Suppose during 2022 that Cypress Semiconductor Corporation reported net cash provided by operating activities of $96,447,240, cash used in investing of $46,576,080, and cash used in financing of $7,957,440. In addition, cash spent for fixed assets during the period was $27,888,840. No dividends were paid. Calculate free cash flow. (Show a negative free cash flow with either a - sign e.g. -15,000 or in parenthesis e.g. (15,000).)
Answer:
Free cash flow = $68,558,400
Explanation:
Free cash flow represents the amount that is left to all the providers of capital after the payment of all all operating expenses, working capital and investment in fixed asset expenditures.
It is computed as cash flow made from operation less capital expenditures
Free cash flow = net cashflow from operating activities - fixed assets
= $96,447,240 - $27,888,840
= $68,558,400
Free cash flow = $68,558,400
