Explanation:
A consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay and what they are able to pay for a particular good or service. It is simply the extra benefit gained by the consumer for paying lesser for a good or service than what they actually intended to pay. Based on this, it is noticed that consumer surplus tends to increase as the market price of goods/services fall, and reduce as their price increases. It is represented mathematically as:
Consumer surplus = (Price willing to pay) - (Actual price paid)
In this example, the consumer surplus is calculated thus:
price willing to pay for third bottle = $4
Price paid = $3
Consumer surplus = 4 - 3 = $1
Christine and Doug are married. In 2014, Christine earns a salary of $250,000 and Doug earns a salary of $50,000. They have no other income and work for the same employers for all of 2014. How much Medicare surtax for high-income taxpayers will Christine and Doug have to pay with their 2014 income tax return?
A. $450 B. $900 C. $2,700 D. None
Answer:
A. $450
Explanation:
In 2014, the Medicare surtax for high-income taxpayers started when married couples filing jointly earned over $250,000. in this case, Christine and Doug made $300,000, so the surtax = ($300,000 - $250,000) x 0.9% = $450
The Medicare surtax income threshold has not been adjusted to inflation and remains at the same level for 2020.
Total medicare contributions for high income taxpayers = 1.45% + 0.9% = 2.35%

which fiscal policy would most likely result in the largest budget deficit
Answer:
If the question asks for the largest SURPLUS the answer will be
High Taxation and Low Spending
Explanation:
There are two different questions make sure you read it correctly!!!!
The fiscal policy that would most likely result in the largest budget deficit is expansionary fiscal policy.
What is fiscal policy?Fiscal policy refers to the use of the government budget to affect the economy. This includes government spending and levied taxes. The policy is said to be expansionary when the government spends more on budget items such as infrastructure or when taxes are lowered.
Such policies are typically used to boost productivity and the economy. Conversely, the policy is contractionary when government spending decreases or taxes rise. Contractionary policies might be used to combat rising inflation. Generally, expansionary policy leads to higher budget deficits, and contractionary policy reduces deficits. Expansionary Policy is when governments can spend beyond their tax-based budgetary constraints by borrowing money from the private sector. The U.S. government issues Treasury Bonds to raise funds, for example.
To meet its future obligations as a debtor, the government must eventually increase tax receipts, cut spending, borrow additional funds or print more dollars.

decrease by $15,000.
decrease by $31,875.
Sales 3,000 Units
Sales Price $70
Variable Cost $50
Fixed Cost $25,000
Answer: decrease by $31,875
Explanation:
Net Operating income;
= Sales - variable cost - fixed cost
= (70 * 3,000) - ( 50 * 3,000) - 25,000
= $35,000
Sales volume decreases by 25%;
= 3,000 * ( 1 - 25%)
= 2,250 units
Variable cost per unit increases by 15%;
= 50 * ( 1 + 15%)
= $57.50
New Net Operating income;
= (70 * 2,250) - (57.50 * 2,250) - 25,000
= $3,125
Net Operating income change;
= 3,125 - 35,000

Decrease by $31,875
The market price of a security is $50. Its expected rate of return is 13%. The risk-free rate is 4% and the market risk premium is 6%. What will be the market price of the security if its beta doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity.
Answer: New Market price =$29.55
Explanation:
Using the CAPM,Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM formule , The expected return on stock is given as
Er = Rf +β( Mr)
which means
Expected return = Risk free rate + beta (market risk premium)
13%= 4% +beta (6%)
beta= 13%-4%/6%=0.13-0.04 /0.06
beta= 1.5
The dividend expected to be paid is given as
Expected dividend, D = Price of security X Expected return
= 50 X 13%
= $6.5
Now, if beta doubles, Expected return becomes
Er = Rf + 2β( Mr)
Er= 4% + 2 x 1.5( 6%)
=4%+ 3.0( 6%)
0.04 + 0.18
Er = 0.22 = 22%
New Market price
Expected dividend, D = Price of security X Expected return
Price = Expected dividend, D/Expected return
= $6.5/0.22
=$29.55
A series of monthly cash flows is deposited into an account that earns 12% nominal interest compounded monthly. Each monthly deposit is equal to $2,100. The first monthly deposit occurred on June 1, 2008 and the last monthly deposit will be on January 1, 2015. The account also has equivalent quarterly withdrawals from it. The first quarterly withdrawal is equal to $5,000 and occurred on October 1, 2008. The last $5,000 withdrawal will occur on January 1, 2015. How much remains in the account after the last withdrawal?
Answer:
The amount left in the account after last withdrawal is $61,945
Explanation:
The first monthly deposit occurred on June 1, 2008 and the last monthly deposit will be on January 1, 2015 = 80 deposit
Monthly deposit = 2,100
Interest rate = 12% / 1% per month
Firstly, we calculate the future worth of the monthly deposit
FW = A(F/A, i, n)
A = 2,100, i = 1%, n= 80
FW = $2100*[(1+0.01)^80 - 1 / 0.01]
FW = $2100*[2.216715 - 1 / 0.01]
FW = $2100*(121.671)
FW = $255,509.10
We calculate the effective interest rate
i(effective) = (1 + i nominal monthly interest rate)^n - 1
i `%, n = 3(no of months in quarter)
i (effective) = (1+0.01)^3 - 1
i (effective) = (1.01)^3 - 1
i (effective) = 1.030301 - 1
i (effective) = 0.030301
i (effective) = 3.0301%
The effective quarterly interest rate is 3.0301%
We calculate the future worth of the quarterly drawings
FW = A[(1+i)^n - 1 / i]
A = 5,000(drawing), i = 3.0301%, n = 26(number of drawings)
FW = 5,000*[(1+0.030301)^26 - 1 / 0.030301]
FW = 5,000*[2.17303717 - 1 / 0.030301]
FW = 5,000*(38.71282)
FW = $193,564.10
The future worth of the quarterly withdrawal is $193,564.10
We calculate the amount left in the account after last withdrawal
Amount left in account = FW(monthly deposits) - FW(quarterly drawings)
Amount left in account = $255,509.10 - $193,564.10
Amount left in account = $61,945
Thus, the amount left in the account after last withdrawal is $61,945

a. $600.
b. $900.
c. $1,000.
d. $1,200.
Answer:

Explanation:
Calculation for What amount of child and dependent care credit can both Sean and Jenny receive
Child and dependent care credit=($500 * 9 months *20 %
Child and dependent care credit=$900
Note that $500 is the standard amount while the 20% is the tax credit
Therefore the amount of child and dependent care credit can both Sean and Jenny receive will be $900
Accurate Metal Company sold 39,000 units of its product at a price of $390 per unit. Total variable cost per unit is $196, consisting of $187 in variable production cost and $9 in variable selling and administrative cost. Compute the manufacturing margin for the company under variable costing.
Answer:
Manufacturing margin = 7566000
Explanation:
given data
sold = 39,000 units
price = $390 per unit
Total variable cost = $196 per unit
variable production = $187
variable selling and administrative cost = $9
solution
first we get here the sales revenue that will be
sales revenue = 39000 × 390
sales revenue = 15210000
and
Cogs = 39000 × 196 = 7644000
so here Manufacturing margin will be
Manufacturing margin = 15210000 - 7644000
Manufacturing margin = 7566000
Choi Home Repair needs to accumulate $22,000 in 6 years to purchase new equipment. What sinking fund payment (in $) would they need to make at the end of each three months, at 4% interest compounded quarterly?
Answer: $815.62
Explanation:
This is an annuity because it is to be a specific payment per period.
As it is in 6 years, it is a Future Value calculation.
Number of periods = 6 years * 4 quarters = 24 quarters
Interest = 4%/ 4 quarters = 1%
Future Value = Annuity * Future Value interest factor of Annuity, 24 periods, 1%
22,000 = Annuity * 26.9735
Annuity = 22,000/26.9735
Annuity = $815.62
how long will it take 13,000 to grow to 18,000 if the investment earns at the interest rate of 3% compunded monthly
Answer:
130 months
Explanation:
The computation of the time period is shown below:
Given that
Present value = $13,000
Future value = $18,000
PMT = $0
RATE = 3% ÷ 12 = 0.25%
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(RATE;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
The present value comes in positive
After applying the above formula, the time period is 130 months
Therefore the time that should be needed is 130 months
Last year, Brian bought a bond for $10,000 that promises to pay him $800 per year. This year, he can buy a bond for $10,000 that promises to pay $900 per year. If Brian wants to sell his old bond, what is its price likely to be?
Answer:
the price likely to be $8,889
Explanation:
The computation of the price likely to be is shown below:
The rate of interest in the last year
= $800 ÷ $10,000
= 8%
Now this year the rate of interest it would be
= $900 ÷ $10,000
= 9%
Now the price likely to be is
= $800 ÷ 9%
= $8,889
hence, the price likely to be $8,889
hence, the same is to be considered
A company currently using an inspection process in its material receiving department is trying to install an overall cost reduction program. One possible reduction is the elimination of one inspection position. This position tests items for which the probability of a material defect averages 0.01. By inspecting all items, the inspector is able to remove all defects. The inspector can inspect 50 units per hour. The hourly rate including fringe benefits for this position is $10. If the inspection position is eliminated, defects will go into product assembly and will have to be replaced later at a cost of $11 each when they are detected in final product testing.
Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the inspection rate) if the inspection operation was eliminated.
a-1. If the inspector position is eliminated, what will the hourly cost of defects be? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Cost per hour $
a-2. Should this inspection position be eliminated based on costs alone?
Yes
No
b. What is the cost to inspect each unit? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Cost per unit $
c. Is there benefit (or loss) from the current inspection process? How much? (Input all amounts as positive values. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Hourly Per unit
(Click to select)LossBenefit $ $
Answer:
a-1. If the inspector position is eliminated, the defects will not be detected. These cost the company $11 to replace.
Defects per hour = 50 * 0.01 = 0.5 units
Cost per hour = 0.5 * 11 = $5.50
a-2. Based on costs alone, the inspection position should be eliminated. This is because the cost of having the Inspection position is $10 but it would only cost the company $5.50 if the position was not there so the cost of the inspection position is more than the cost incurred if it wasn't there.
b. = Inspection fees/ Units inspected per hour
= 10/50
= $0.50 per unit
c. Cost without Inspection is $5.50. With Inspection is $10.
Hourly Loss = 5.50 - 10
= -$4.50
Per unit loss = -4.50/50
= -$0.09

Answer:
b. the investment accelerator
Explanation:
An investment accelerator can be defined as a positive effect that an increase in income or demand has on investment expenditures. Thus, an increase in the level of gross domestic product will cause a significant increase in the level of an investment.
Hence, when an increase in government purchases causes firms to purchase additional plant and equipment, we have seen a demonstration of the investment accelerator.

Using the following year-end information for Bauman, LLC, calculate the current ratio and acid-test ratio:_______. Cash $70,200 Short-term investments 12,800 Accounts receivable 49,500 Inventory 242,000 Prepaid expenses 18,000 Accounts payable 100,500 Other current payables 28,000a. 3.05 and 1.03. b. 2.91 and .97. c. 1.17 and 3.91. d. .97 and 3.05.
Answer:
a. 3.05 and 1.03
Explanation:
The formula for current ratio is
= Current assets/Current liabilities
= (Cash + Short term investment + Accounts receivable + Inventory + Prepaid expenses) / (Accounts payable + Other current payables)
= (70,200 + 12,800 + 49,500 + 242,000 + 18,000) / (100,500 + 28,000)
= 392,500 / 128,500
= 3.05
The formula for Acid test ratio is
= Quick Assets / Current liabilities
= (Cash + Short term investment + Accounts receivable) / (Accounts payable + Other current payables)
= (70,200 + 12,800 + 49,500) / (100,500 + 28,000)
= 132,500 / 128,500
= 1.03
Assume the bondâs quoted ("clean") price is $1,044.56, the bond has the coupon rate of 8.1% and that the coupons are paid semiannually. Further assume that the bond has the face value of $1,000. What is the bondâs invoice ("dirty") price if the last coupon payment took place four months ago?
Answer:
$1,071.56
Explanation:
Calculation for the
Clean price is the bond's invoice ("dirty") price
Using this formula
Dirty price= Clean price + ( Face value × Coupon rate × No. of months ÷ Total number of months in a year)
Let plug in the formula
Dirty price=$1,044.56 +($1,000 × 8.1% × 4 ÷ 12)
Dirty price= $1,044.56 + $27
Dirty price= $1,071.56
Therefore the bond's invoice ("dirty") price will be $1,071.56

She has read a number of newspaper articles about a huge IPO being carried out by a leading technology company. She wants to purchase as many shares in the IPO as possible and would even be willing to buy the shares in the open market immediately after the issue. What advice do you have for her?
Answer:
Explanation:
I believe the best advice that can be given is to do thorough research into the company before investing and do not invest more than you are willing to lose. Initial Public Offerings (IPO) can be incredibly risky investments because they can be complete scams or can be legit startup companies but make one mistake and quickly go bankrupt causing the shares to be worthless and you lose all of your money. But with great risk comes great reward, If they do manage to take you off you can make a lot of money. Therefore, research and invest only what you can live without is the best advice.
Ace Industries has current assets equal to $5 million. The company's current ratio is 2.0, and its quick ratio is 1.6. What is the firm's level of current liabilities? What is the firm's level of inventories?
Answer:
=1.25
Explanation:
Current ratio= current asset/ current liabilities
Current ratio= $5 million./ Current Liabilities
Cross multiply we have
But current ratio is 2.0
2= 5/ current liabilities
current liabilities= 5/2
=2.5million
Quick ratio= current Asset- inventory/current liabilities
1.5=( 5- inventory)/2.5
Cross multiply we have
1.5×2.5= ( 5- inventory)
3.75= ( 5- inventory)
inventory= 5-3.75
=1.25
Therefore, the firm's level of inventories is 1.25

The Pierce Co. just issued a dividend of $2.35 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 5 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $44 a share, what is the company's cost of equity? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Cost of equity__________ %
Answer:
r = 0.106079 or 10.6079% rounded off to 10.61%
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 is the dividend paid recently
D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period /year
g is the growth rate
r is the required rate of return or cost of equity
To calculate the cost of equity (r), we will plug in the values for P0, D0 and g in the formula,
44 = 2.35 * (1+0.05) / (r - 0.05)
44 * (r - 0.05) = 2.4675
44r - 2.2 = 2.4675
44r = 2.4675 + 2.2
r = 4.6675 / 44
r = 0.106079 or 10.6079% rounded off to 10.61%
The company's cost of equity is 10.61%.
The formula that can be used to determine the cost of equity is:
r = [tex]\frac{D_{1} }{P}[/tex] - g
Where:
[tex]D_{1}[/tex] = dividend next year = $2.35 x (1.05) = $2.47g = growth rate P = value of the stock = $44r = [tex]\frac{2.47}{44} + 0.05[/tex] = 10.61%

Describe how the IRR is calculated, and describe the information this measure provides about a sequence of cash fl ows. What is the IRR criterion decision rule?
Answer:
The Internal Rate of Return is the discount rate that discounts a series of cashflows such that the Net Present Value becomes zero.
It is calculated in the same way the NPV is calculated which is to subtract the discounted cash outflows from the discounted cash inflows but this time it will be the subject of the equation which will be equated to zero.
Formula therefore is;
[tex]\frac{Cf_{1} }{(1 + IRR_{1} )} + \frac{Cf_{2}}{(1 + IRR_{2} )^{2} } + \frac{Cf_{n} }{(1 + IRR_{n} )^{n} } - Cf_{0} = 0[/tex]
Excel worksheets, financial calculators and solving the equation can all be used to find IRR.
The higher the IRR, the better for a project because it means that the project has high cash inflows that would take a higher rate to discount to zero.
The decision rule is the pick a project that has a higher IRR than the firm's Required rate of return because it means that the NPV will be more than zero.

The Dell Corporation borrowed â$ at â% interest perâ year, which must be repaid in equal EOY amountsâ (including both interest andâ principal) over the next years. How much must Dell repay at the end of eachâ year? How much of the total amount repaid isâ interest?
Answer:
A. $2,098,000 per year
B. $2,588,000
Explanation:
A. Calculation for How much must Dell repay at the end of each year
First step is to calculate (A/P, 7%, 6 )which will give us (0.2098)
Now let Calculate the amount to repay
Amount to repay= $10,000,000 (A/P, 7%, 6)
Amount to repay= $10,000,000 (0.2098)
Amount to repay = $2,098,000 per year
Therefore the amount that Dell will repay at the end of each year will be $2,098,000 per year
2. Calculation for How much of the total amount repaid is interest
Total interest repaid = ($2,098,000*6 years)− $10,000,000
Total interest repaid=$12,588,000-$10,000,000
Total interest repaid= $2,588,000
Therefore the total amount repaid interest will be $2,588,000
Company X has 100 shares outstanding. It earns $1,000 per year and announces that it will use all $1,000 to repurchase its shares in the open market instead of paying dividends. Calculate the number of shares outstanding at the end of year 1, after the first share repurchase, if the required rate of return is 10 percent.a) 110.0
b) 100.0
c) 90.91
d) 89.0
Answer:
d) 89.0
Explanation:
The value of the company today is the present value of its cash flows in perpetuity which is the cash flows divided by the required rate of return.
value of the firm=$1000/10%=$10,000
share price=value of the firm/shares outstanding
share price=$10,000/100=$100
number of shares to be repurchased=$1000/$100=10
number of shares after repurchase=100-10=90
note that when 90.91 is rounded to a whole, it turns out to be 92 while 89 is rounded to 90
