Locked-In Real Estate (LIRE) is preparing for their Initial Public Equity Offering (IPO). With its holdings consisting of rent controlled apartments, and no plans for expanding, LIRE plans to payout all of its earnings as dividends. These dividends amount to $7.50 per share, forever. If the expected rate of return is 12%, what is the stock price of LIRE
Answer: $62.50
Explanation:
The stock price of Locked-In Real Estate (LIRE) will be calculated thus:
Stock price = D /ke - g
where,
D = Dividend paid per share = $7.50
Ke = expected rate of return on equity = 12% = 0.12
g is growth rate of dividend = 0
Stock price = $7.50/0.12
Stock price = $62.5
Therefore, the stock price is $62.50
Springfield Bank holds $280 million in total deposits and $40.7 million in total reserves. With a required reserve ratio of 11.5 percent, how much in excess reserves is Springfield Bank holding?
a) $239.3 million
b) $247.8 million
c) $36 million
d) $32.2 million
e) $8.5 million
Answer:
e) $8.5 million
Explanation:
The computation of the excess reserve is shown below:
We know that
Excess reserve = total reserve - required reserve
where
Required reserve is
= Total deposits × required reserve ratio
= $280 × 11.5%
= $32.20
So, the excess reserve is
= $40.7 - $32.20
= $8.5 million
Becker and Murphy wrote their article before DVR systems and online streaming services became popular. Nowadays, ads on television are avoidable (to a degree), just like ads in a newspaper. What impact do you think technology has on the types of ads you see on TV?
Answer:
Currently, most people can simply decide to skip ads. When you hire streaming services like Netflix or Disney+, one of the advantages is that there are no ads. People now watch the ads that they like and want to see, unless you are stuck watching the Superbowl or some type of live event. This adds pressure to marketing campaigns since ads need to attract viewers.

As of Dec. 31, 2013, a company had current assets of $600,000 and current liabilities of $300,000. Sales of the company are expected to increase by 10 percent for each of the next two years. If all current assets and current liability accounts increase proportionately with sales, what would be the projected current ratio of the company on Dec. 31, 2015
Answer:
2.00
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what would be the projected current ratio of the company on Dec. 31, 2015
Using this formula
Current ratio =Current assets/ Current liabilities
Let plug in the formula
Current ratio =$600,000 /$300,000
Current ratio =2.00
Therefore the projected current ratio of the company on Dec. 31, 2015 is 2.00
The market price of a security is $46. Its expected rate of return is 10%. The risk-free rate is 4%, and the market risk premium is 9%. What will the market price of the security be if its beta doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)
Answer:
The new Market price =$28.75
Explanation:
According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM, we have that
Expected return= risk free rate+(beta X market risk premium)
10=4+ beta x 9
= 10- 4 = beta x 9
beta =6 /9 =0.666
IF beta doubles with other variables constant
Expected return= risk free rate+(betaXmarket risk premium)
Beta= 0.666 x2 =1.3333
Expected return = 4+ 1.333 x 9
Expected return 4+ 12=16%
Price = Perpertual Dividend /Expected return
where Current Share price =$46
Dividend = $46 x 10%=4.6
The new Market price = Perpetual dividend/New Required return
= 4.6/16% =$28.75
So the new Market price =$28.75
McBurger, Inc., wants to redesign its kitchens to improve productivity and quality. Three designs, called designs K1, K2, and K3, are under consideration. No matter which design is used, daily production of sandwiches at a typical McBurger restaurant is for 500 sandwiches. A sandwich costs $1.20 to produce. Non-defective sandwiches sell, on the average, for $2.50 per sandwich. Defective sandwiches cannot be sold and are scrapped.
The goal is to choose a design that maximizes the expected profit at a typical restaurant over a 300-day period. Designs K1, K2, and K3 cost $100,000, $130,000, and $150,000, respectively. Under design K1, there is a .80 chance that 90 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .20 chance that 70 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective. Under design K2, there is a .85 chance that 90 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .15 chance that 75 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective. Under design K3, there is a .90 chance that 95 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .10 chance that 80 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective.
The expected profit level of design K1 is $____.
The expected Profit leve of design K2 is___.The expected profit level of design k3 is___.
Answer:
McBurger, Inc.
The expected profit level of design K1 is $_42,500__.
The expected Profit level of design K2 is_19,063__.
The expected profit level of design k3 is_20,625__.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Daily production units at a typical McBurger restaurant = 500 sandwiches
Yearly production units =150,000 (500 * 300)
Unit production cost of a sandwich = $1.20
Selling price of non-defective sandwich = $2.50
Design K1 Design K2 Design K3
Calculation of non-defective units:
0.80 * 90/100 * 150,000 108,000
0.20 * 70/100 * 150,000 21,000
0.85 * 90/100 * 150,000 114,750
0.15 * 75/100 * 150,000 16,875
0.90 * 95/100 * 150,000 128,250
0.10 * 80/100 * 150,000 12,000
129,000 131,625 140,250
Sales Revenue $322,500 $329,063 $350,625
Production cost (180,000) (180,000) (180,000)
Cost of design (100,000) (130,000) (150,000)
Expected profit $42,500 $19,063 $20,625
Sales revenue = Non-defective sandwiches * $2.50
Product cost = Production units * $1.20
Expected profit = Sales Revenue - (Product cost + Design cost)

Suppose that the current one-year rate (one-year spot rate) and expected one-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: 1R1 = 0.3%, E(2r 1) = 1.3%, E(3r1) = 9.4%, E(4r1) = 9.75%. Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year maturity Treasury securities. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places. (e.g., 32.161))
Answer:
Year 1 long term rate is the same as first year 1 year rate = 0.3%
Year 2
= √[(1 + year 1 rate%) * (1 + year 2 rate%)] - 1
= √[(1 + 0.3%) * (1 + 1.3%)] - 1
= 0.799%
Year 3
= ³√[(1 + year 1 rate%) * (1 + year 2 rate%) * (1 + year 3 rate%)] - 1
= ³√[(1 + 0.3%) * (1 + 1.3%) * (1 * 9.4)] - 1
= 3.588%
Year 4
= ⁴√[(1 + year 1 rate%) * (1 + year 2 rate%) * (1 + year 3 rate%) * (1 + 4 year rate)] - 1
= ⁴√[(1 + 0.3%) * (1 + 1.3%) * (1 * 9.4) * (1 + 9.75%)] - 1
= 5.095%
The market for the fast car with so much horsepower that handling becomes an issue is decreasing. People are more interested in buying SUVs and pickups. As a result, General Motors is stopping production of its Camaro, a car that has had limited sales recently. Since the Camaro can no longer generate enough cash to sustain its manufacture, the BCG portfolio would classify it as a:
Answer:
Dog.
Explanation:
In 1970, Bruce D. Henderson developed and created a growth-share matrix for the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) growth-share matrix is a tool used for analyzing and planning product lines in a business unit. It makes use of a graphical representation of a company's product line and services to analyze and make long-term strategic plans on which to invest more on or sell off.
Generally, products are divided into four (4) main categories in the BCG growth-share matrix;
1. Dogs.
2. Stars.
3. Question marks.
4. Cash cows.
A dog refers to a product or business unit that has a very low growth rate or market share and as such generates insufficient amount of revenues.
In this scenario, Camaro isn't able to generate sufficient (enough) cash to sustain its manufacturing or production process, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) portfolio would classify it as a dog.

Waterway Industries is planning to sell 800 buckets and produce 1080 buckets during March. Each bucket requires 200 grams of plastic and one-half hour of direct labor. Plastic costs $10 per 200 grams and employees of the company are paid $15 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Waterway has 300 kilos of plastic in beginning inventory and wants to have 500 kilos in ending inventory. How much is the total amount of budgeted direct labor for March?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
From the above,
One bucket requires;
200 grams of plastic and one half of direct labor
The plastic costs $10 per 200 grams and the employees are paid $15 per hour.
Therefore, one bucket costs (material and labor) :
= $10 + $15 × (1/2)hour = $17.5 per plus 1.10 × $7.50 = $25.75
For 1,080 buckets
$25.75 × 1,080 = $27,810
Therefore, the total amount of budgeted direct material for March is $27,810
Select the correct revenue recognition principle for each of the following. Clear All Recognize revenue over the passage of time. Recognize revenue when the customer takes possession of the product. Recognize revenue when cash is collected. Recognize revenue when service is performed.
Answer:
Recognize revenue when service is performed.
Explanation:
Revenue recognition principle is an accounting principle which states that revenue should only be recognized when it is earned(when service has been rendered or completed) and not when cash is being collected.
What the above means is that revenue can only be earned when services are completed or rendered and not necessarily when payment is made. The reason is that payment may not be made for several weeks even after service has been rendered hence the principle or concept is incorporated into the accrual basis of accounting.

A perfectly elastic supply curve is: Group of answer choices upward sloping to the right. vertical. horizontal. downward sloping to the left.
Answer:
vertical
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

The seaport town of New Monopoly has become extremely popular with shipping companies due to its superior location. The port has become so congested that ships must wait hours every day just to dock. The mayor of New Monopoly realizes that the congestion at the port costs the shipping companies and his town money. This is an example of marginal analysis. a private good. market failure. a recession.
Answer:
Market failure.
Explanation:
In this scenario, the port became so congested such that ships now have to wait hours queing every day just to dock. The mayor of New Monopoly realizes that the congestion at the port costs the shipping companies and his town money. This is an example of market failure.
A market failure can be defined as a situation in which the market fails to produce an efficient level of productivity or output that is required to meet demand.
This ultimately implies that, a market failure arises when there is inefficiency in the distribution or allocation of goods and services in a free market. Thus, the demand of the consumer of these goods and services are not being met with the level of supply (output) required i.e the forces of demand and supply are not efficient in producing the level of output required by the economy.
Some of the causes of market failure are imperfect information, monopoly, oligopoly, externalities etc.

A man wants to help provide a college education for his young daughter. He can afford to invest $1500/yr for the next 5 years, beginning on the girl 's 5th birthday. He wishes to give his daughter $10,000 on her 18th, 19th , 20th, and 21 st birthdays, for a total of $40,000. Assuming 6% interest, what uniform annual investment will he have to make on the girl's 9th through 17th birthdays?
Answer:
$1,919.69
Explanation:
when the daughter is 9 years old, total savings = $1,500 x 5.6371 (FVIFA, 6%, 5 periods) = $8,455.65
first 5 payments:
birthdays = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
the present value of the $40,000 that he needs for her daughter's college = $10,000 x 3.4651 (PVIFA, 6%, 4 periods) = $34,651
the FV until the 17th birthday = $8,455.65 x 1.06⁸ = $15,650.82
he needs to save = $34,651 - $15,650.82 = $19,000.18
value of annual deposits = $19,000.18 / 9.8975 (FVIFA, 6%, 8 peridos) = $1,919.69

Gore organized on January 2, 2021, had pretax accounting income of $7,100,000 and taxable income of $10,160,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The 2021 tax rate was 25%. The only difference between book and taxable income is estimated warranty costs. Expected payments and scheduled enacted tax rates are as follows:
2022 $1,020,000 30%
2023 510,000 30%
2024 510,000 30%
2025 1,020,000 35%
Required:
Prepare one compound journal entry to record Gore's provision for taxes for the year 2021.
Answer:
Date Account title Debit Credit
12/31/2021 Income tax expense $3,060,000
Deferred tax asset $ 969,000
Income tax payable $4,029,000
Explanation:
2021 Income tax expense from warranty costs:
= Taxable income - Pretax accounting income
= 10,160,000 - 7,100,000
= $3,060,000
Tax on the warranty payments will be treated as deferred tax assets so the total is:
= (1,020,000 * 30%) + (510,000 * 30%) + (510,000 * 30%) + (1,020,000 * 35%)
= $969,000
You are reviewing a company's general ledger. It shows consecutive balances of $52,111 and $60,564 for the Accounts Receivable account. Without looking at the transaction column, what was the transaction
Answer:
Accounts Receivable $8453 (debit)
Sales $8453( credit)
Explanation:
The consecutive balances are $52,111 and $60,564 which means that the Accounts Receivable has increased from $52,111 to $60,564.
Increase in Accounts Receivable= $60,564 - $52,111
=$8453
The Accounts Receivable balance increases when sales are made on accounts with certain given terms etc.
So the transaction would be
Accounts Receivable $8453 (debit)
Sales $8453( credit)
The debit in accounts receivable shows that the balance has increased . Also the credit in Sales accounts show that the sales have increased.

Explain how mixed costs are related to both fixed and variable costs. A. Mixed costs have a fixed portion that is a cost per unit of cost driver activity. Mixed costs also have a variable portion that is usually a cost per time period. B. Mixed costs are the sum of the fixed and variable costs that are related to equipment costs. These mixed costs are a form of committed costs during the production phase. C. A mixed cost is the sum of fixed costs and the portion of variable costs that are related to salaries and wages. These mixed costs are discretionary costs that easily fluctuate and must therefore be kept separate during a production phase. D. A mixed cost has a fixed portion that is usually a cost per time period. A mixed cost also has a variable portion that is a cost per unit of cost driver activity.
Answer:
D. A mixed cost has a fixed portion that is usually a cost per time period. A mixed cost also has a variable portion that is a cost per unit of cost driver activity.
Explanation:
As we know that
The variable cost is the cost that can change when the level of production increase or decrease
The fixed cost is the cost that remains fixed whether the production level increased or not
ANd, the mixed cost includes some part of the variable cost and some part of the fixed cost
So as per the given options, the option D is correct as the mixed cost involved the fixed portion that could be cost per the time. And, it involved the variable portion i.e cost per unit with respect to the cost driver activity

More Hits Company manufactures aluminum baseball bats that it sells to university athletic departments. It has developed the following per unit standard costs for 2019 for each baseball bat:
Direct Materials Direct Labor Manufacturing Overhead
Standard Quantity 2 Pounds (Aluminum) 1/2 hour 1/2 hour
Standard Price $4.00 $10.00 $6.00
Unit Standard Cost $8.00 $5.00 $3.00
In 2019, the company planned to produce 120,000 baseball bats at a level of 60,000 hours of direct labor. Actual results for 2019 are presented below:
1. Direct materials purchases were 246,000 pounds of aluminum which cost $1,020,900.
2. Direct materials used were 220,000 pounds of aluminum.
3. Direct labor costs were $575,260 for 58,700 direct labor hours actually worked.
4. Total manufacturing overhead was $352,000.
5. Actual production was 114,000 baseball bats.
Compute the following variances and identify whether the variance is favorable or unfavorable:
1. Direct Materials Price
2. Direct Materials Quantity
3. Direct Labor Price
4. Direct Labor Quantity
5. Total Overhead Variances
Prepare the journal entries to record the transactions and events in 2019.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
AP = 4.15
SP = 4.0
SQ = 114000 × 2 = 228000
1. Direct Materials Price
= (AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)
= (246000 × 4.15) - (246000 × 4.0)
= 1020900 - 984000
= 369000 U
2. Direct Materials Quantity
= (AQ × SP) - (SQ × SP)
where SQ = 114000 × 2 = 228000
= (220000 × 4.0) - (228000 × 4.0)
= 880000 - 912000
= 32000 F
3. Direct Labor Price
= (AH × AR) - (AH × SR)
= (58700 × 9.8) - (58700 × 10)
= 575260 - 587000
= 11740
4. Direct Labor Quantity
= (AH × SR) - (SH × SR)
where, SH = 114000 × ½ = 57000
= (58700 × 10) - (57000 × 10)
= 587000 - 570000
= 17000 U
5. Total Overhead Variances
= 352000 - (57000 × 6)
= 352000 - 342000
= 10000 Unfavorable

There are two reasons that an industry prefers self-regulation to government regulation: cost and flexibility. True False
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
In general, the vast majority of industrial entrepreneurs prefer self-regulation over government regulation. This is so due to two fundamental factors: on the one hand, the maintenance costs of the government regulatory system are paid for through taxes, which means that the higher the regulations, the higher the taxes that each company must pay, while the self-regulation should not spend. more money than that of the control systems, without allocating sums of money to the government; and on the other, flexibility, that is, the possibility of adapting the processes, systems and needs of each company to the necessary regulations, being able to optimize costs and processes.
