The equilibrium price stays steady as demand rises. This statement is false. The right response in this case is option C.
Although it is not a given, it is conceivable for the equilibrium price to be steady even when demand rises. The price at which the amount of an item desired by customers and the quantity of a good provided by producers are equal is known as the equilibrium price.
The equilibrium price will generally rise if the demand for the commodities rises but the supply stays the same. This is because customers are ready to pay more for the item as a result of the rise in demand, and producers will be able to sell more of the commodity at a higher price.
The equilibrium price, however, can stay the same or even go down if the good's supply grows at the same time as the demand does. This is due to the fact that the greater supply enables companies to satisfy the rising demand without having to raise the price.

Which of the following is false regarding a section 83(b) election? Multiple Choice The election must be made within 30 days of the grant date. The election is an important tax-planning tool if the stock is expected to increase in value. The election freezes the value of the employee's compensation as of the grant date. If an employee leaves before the vesting date, any loss is limited to $3,000.
Answer:
D) If an employee leaves before the vesting date, any loss is limited to $3,000.
Explanation:
The 83(b) election can be regarded as
provision made under the Internal Revenue Code, which provide an option for an employee as well as startup founder to pay their taxes on the total fair market value of restricted stock within the granting time. 83(b) election can as well be applied to equity which is subjected to vesting, and Internal Revenue Service will be alerted so the body can tax the elector for the ownership at granting time instead of time of stock vesting.
It should be noted that in section 83(b) election
✓The election freezes the value of the employee's compensation as of the grant date.
✓The election must be made within 30 days of the grant date.
✓ The election is an important tax-planning tool if the stock is expected to increase in value.
Suppose you bought 1,100 shares of stock at an initial price of $46 per share. The stock paid a dividend of $.46 per share during the following year, and the share price at the end of the year was $41. a. Compute your total dollar return on this investment
Answer:
$-4994
Explanation:
Total dollar return = number of stocks bought x (dividend return + price return)
price return is the return on investment as a result of appreciation or depreciation of share price
Dividend return is the return on investment from dividend earned
price return = price at the end of the year - price at the beginning of the year
$41 - $46 = $-5
1100 x ($-5 + $0.46) = $-4994

Suppose you expect Longs Drug Stores to pay an annual dividend of $2 per share in the coming year and to trade $40 per share at the end of the year. If investments with equivalent risk to Longs' stock have an expected return of 6%, what is the most you would pay today for Longs' stock
Answer:
$39.62
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what is the most you would pay today for Longs' stock
Using this formula
P0=Div1+P1/1+rE
Let plug in the formula
P0=$2+$40/(1+.06)
P0=$42/1.06
P0=$39.62
Therefore the most you would pay today for Longs' stock is $39.62
Blossom Chemicals Company acquires a delivery truck at a cost of $32,800 on January 1, 2022. The truck is expected to have a salvage value of $4,200 at the end of its 4-year useful life. Assuming the declining-balance depreciation rate is double the straight-line rate, compute annual depreciation for the first and second years under the declining-balance method.
Answer:
$16400
$8200
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
Depreciation factor = 2/4 = 0.5
Depreciation expense in year 1 = 0.5 x $32,800 = $16,400
Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $32,800 - $16,400 = $16400
Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.5 x $16,400= $8200

Bank Reconciliation Statement
Balance as per cash account adjusted $112,933
add uncredited deposits 11,317
less Outstanding checks -41,750
Balance as per bank statement $82,500
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cash account debit balance = $95,250
Bank statement balance = $82,500
Outstanding checks = $11,317
Credit memorandum $18,000
Collection fee $45
Check 1115 for Rent Expense of $1,350 transposed as $1,050 = $300 ($1,350 - $1050)
Uncredited deposits = $41,750
Interest earned = $28
Cash Account Adjustment:
Cash account debit balance $95,250
Debit:
Credit memorandum 18,000
Interest earned 28
Credit:
Collection fee -45
Rent Expense (understated) -300
Adjusted cash account balance $112,933
b) The bank reconciliation statement above was prepared after adjusting the cash account with items that were recorded by the bank but not recorded by Cole Co. and other misstatements. With the adjusted cash account balance, the bank reconciliation was then carried out with the items that were not recorded by the bank. The resulting figure should agree with the bank statement balance.
First National Bank of America has more than 75% of its assets in first residential fixed-rate mortgages that mature in more than 5 years. Suppose that a 12-month Gap Analysis predicts a decrease in 2021 interest income of $3 million if there is a sudden 1% drop in market interest rates. From your knowledge of the practical flaws in gap analysis, a realistic simulation analysis would predict that:_______.
1. Interest income will drop by more than $3 million for a sudden 1% drop in market interest rates
2. Interest income will drop by less than $3 million for a sudden 1% drop in market interest rates
Answer:
2. Interest income will drop by less than $3 million for a sudden 1% drop in market interest rates
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that there is decrease in 2021 interest income of $3 million in the case when there is a sudden decline of 1% in the rate of interest of the market this is due to the convexity of the curve as the GAP analysis and assume straight line
So the option 2 is correct

The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 15 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 6 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $2.90 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 8.40 percent
Answer:
$130.97
Explanation:
The value of the firm can be determined by finding the present value of the dividend payments using the two stage dividend growth model
In the 2 stage dividend growth model, dividend is characterised by a fast growth. After this stage , growth in dividend becomes stable
Present value in the first year = (2.90 x 1.15) / 1.084 = $3.08
Present value in the second year = (2.90 x 1.15²) / 1.084² = $3.26
Present value in the third year = (2.90 x 1.15³) / 1.084³ = $3.46
Present value in the fourth year = (2.90 x [tex]1.15^{4}[/tex]) / [tex]1.084^{4}[/tex] = $3.67
Present value in the second stage = ($3.67 x 1.06) / (0.084 - 0.06) = $162.24
$162.24 / [tex]1.084^{4}[/tex] = $117.50
The value of the stock = sum of present values in the first stage of growth + present value in the second stage of growth
$3.08 + $3.26 + $3.46 + $3.67 + $117.50 = $130.97

Variable costs for processing are $30 per case, and variable selling expenses are 25 percent of selling price. There are no variable administrative expenses. If the company desires a profit of $7,500,000, what is the selling price per case? Round answer to two decimal places.
$ 0 price per case
Answer: $72.50
Explanation:
Let the selling price per case be represented by x.
Based on the information you can in the question, we will have an equation as:
(80000 × x) = 12,000,000 + 7,500,000 + (800,000 × 30) + (0.25 × 800000x
800000x = 12,000,000 + 7,500,000
+ (800,000 × 30) + (0.25 × 800000x)
800000x = 43500000 + 200000x
Collect like terms
800000x - 200000x = 43,500,000
600,000x = 43500000
x = 43,500,000 / 600,000
x = 72.50
Selling price per case is $72.50

In an effort to reduce costs, many regional power companies want to lower their safety stock of electricity transformers. To support this desire, a large transformer OEM will store safety stock of transformers in a FedEx warehouse in Memphis, Tennessee in order to insure quick air delivery to any of these is power companies should the need arise. This collaboration will result in lower overall inventory across the supply chain, making it possible for all parties to lower their costs.
1. The OEM has signed up 14 power companies on this rapid replenishment program. On average, each of these power companies used to hold 38 transformers in their safety stock. In total, how many transformers would these companies hold?
2. To maintain the same service level after this transition, how many units (transformers) would the OEM need to hold (or pool) in the FedEx warehouse?
3. After making this change for these power companies and OEM, by how many units (transformers) will inventory go down?
4. By what percentage would their inventory decrease by consolidating their inventory from the dealerships into the warehouse?
Answer:
1. Total transformers held by power companies = 532
2. The total units of transformers that OEM needs to hold in the FedEx warehouse = 38
3. The inventory of transformers will go down by 494.
4. The percentage of the decrease = 93%.
Explanation:
Power companies signed up on the rapid replenishment program = 14
Average number of transformers held in safety stock by each power company = 38
Total number of transformers in safety stock = 532 (14 * 38)
Number of transformers needed in the FedEx warehouse = 38
Inventory will go down by 494 (532 - 38)
Percentage of inventory decrease = 93% (494/532 * 100)

The plant manager has asked you to do a cost analysis to determine when currently owned equipment should be replaced. The manager stated that under no circumstances will the existing equipment be retained longer than two more years and that once it is replaced, a contractor will provide the same service from then on at a cost of $97,000 per year. The salvage value of the currently owned equipment is estimated to be $37,000 now, $30,000 in 1 year, and $19,000 two years from now. The operating cost is expected to be $85,000 per year. Using an interest rate of 10% per year, determine when the defending equipment should be retired. Annual Worth of Defender, Year 1
Answer:
Year 1 Annual Worth of Defender -$95,700
Explanation:
Calculation to determine when the defending equipment should be retired
Year 1 Total Annual worth=-$37,000(AP 10%,1)-$85,000+($30,000 (AP 10%,1)
Year 1 Total Annual worth=-$37,000(1.10)-$85,000+$30,000(1.000)
Year 1 Total Annual worth= -$95,700
Therefore Total Annual worth of currently owned equipment for year 1 is -$95,700
Year 2 Total Annual worth=-$37,000(AP 10%,2)-$85,000+($30,000 (AP 10%,2)

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Bundle A contract = $469
Tablet standalone selling price = $230 (Total = $23,000 ($230 * 100)
Cost of tablet = $157 (Total costs of 100 tablets = $15,700)
Internet access service standalone selling price = $292 (Total = $29,200)
Total standalone selling price per bundle = $522 (Total = $52,200)
Contracts signed = 100
Revenue received = $46,900
Revenue from Tablet = $23,000/$52,200 * $46,900 = $20,665
Revenue from Internet Access = $29,200/$52,200 * $46,900 = $26,235
Annual interest access = $8,745 ($26,235/3)
Bundle B contract = $574
Tablet standalone selling price = $230 (Total = $50,640 ($230 * 220)
Cost of tablet = $157 (Total costs = $34,540 ($257 * 220)
3-year Tablet Service Plan standalone selling price = $145 (Total = $31,900 ($145 * 220)
Internet access service standalone selling price = $292 (Total = $64,240 ($292 * 220)
Total standalone selling price per bundle = $667 (Total = $146,740 ($667 * 220)
Contracts signed = 220
Revenue received = $126,200
Revenue from Tablet = $50,600/$146,740 * $126,280 = $43,545
Revenue from 3-year Tablet Service Plan = $31,900/$146,740 * $126,280 = $27,452
Annual revenue = $9,151 ($27,452/3)
Revenue from Internet Access = $64,240/$146,740 * $126,280 = $55,283

At year-end, Chief Company has a balance of $10,000 in accounts receivable of which $1,000 is more than 30 days overdue. Chief has a credit balance of $100 in the allowance for doubtful accounts before any year-end adjustments. Using the aging of accounts receivable method, Chief estimates that 1% of current accounts and 10% of accounts over thirty days are uncollectible. What is the amount of bad debt expense
Answer:
$90
Explanation:
Total accounts receivable = $10,000
Overdue accounts (30 days) = $1,000
Current account = Total accounts receivable - Overdue accounts (30 days) = $10,000 - $1,000 = $9,000
Bad debt expense = Accounts receivable x Percentage estimated as uncollectible - Existing credit balance in accounts receivable
Bad debt expense = ($9,000 * 1%) + ($1,000 * 10%) - $100
Bad debt expense = $90 + $100 - $100
Bad debt expense = $90
