Answer:
The balance of the account on July 1, 2037 will be $677,846.38.
Explanation:
Since the withdrawals are made the beginning of each month, the relevant formula to use is the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Annuity Due is employed as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) * (1 + r) ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value or the balance of the account on July 1, 2037 =?
M = Monthly withdrawal = $300
r = Monthly interest rate = nominal interest rate / 12 = 10% / 12 = 0.10 / 12 = 0.00833333333333333
n = Number of months from August 1, 2007 to July 1, 2037 = 359
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $300 * (((1 + 0.00833333333333333)^359 - 1) / 0.00833333333333333) * (1 + 0.00833333333333333)
FV = $300 * 2,240.81447087212 * 1.00833333333333333
FV = $677,846.38
Therefore, the balance of the account on July 1, 2037 will be $677,846.38.

1. Friedman distinguishes between the two concepts that (a) businesses really do act in ways to maximize profit and (b) businesses have a moral responsibility (or, as he puts it, a social responsibility) to act to maximize profit. How does he defend the latter position? (See both the Friedman and Sandbu readings)
Explanation:
Friedman defends the position that companies have a social responsibility to act to maximize profit, in the sense that, the primary function of companies is to generate profit. The author goes against the growing opinions in society that companies must have social responsibility, that is, they need to create a positive and sensitive corporate image to please political and society interests and counter or even soften the words and actions its central purpose, which is profit generation. For him, social responsibility cannot be politicized in order to be an obligation of companies, as it limits freedom and interests arising from the business.
The town clerk receives the mail for the Town of Charity, every day. Included in the mail are utility payments, both in cash and check form. The amount of money taken in by the Utility Department is lower than it should be. The Utility Department also takes in checks and cash on a daily basis. No customer has complained that they are not credited for payment of their bill. Different people make the ledger entries in the Utility Department Office. Different people make the bank deposits. How did she commit the fraud
Unclear question. However, I answered based on the case above.
Answer:
by stealing from the utility cash payments
Explanation:
Recall we are told that the utility payments are received in both cash and check form.
Hence, it is possible for the clerk to steal from the cash utility payment rather than the checks because it can easily go unnoticed by customers, or differences may be overlooked by some, and so she was able to commit this fraud.
Vito is the sole shareholder of Vito, Inc. He is also employed by the corporation. On June 30, 2020, Vito borrowed $8,000 from Vito, Inc., and on July 1, 2021, he borrowed an additional $10,000. Both loans were due on demand. No interest was charged on the loans, and the Federal rate was 4% for all relevant dates. Vito used the money to purchase a boat, and he had $2,500 of investment income. Determine the tax consequences to Vito and Vito, Inc., in each of the following situations.
Answer:
The first loan for $8,000 could fall under the exemption of employer-employee loan. But then after the second is taken, that exemption would no longer apply. A minimum interest of $18,000 x 4% x 6/12 = $360 should be charged.
If the loan is considered a corporation-shareholder loan, then it doesn't qualify for any type of exemption, resulting in interests = ($8,000 x 4% x 6/12) = $160 for 2020
for 2021, interest applied = [($8,000 + $160) x 4%] + ($10,000 x 4% x 6/12) = $326.40 + $360 = $686.40

Binder Corporation agreed to build a warehouse for a client at an agreed contract price of $4,000,000. Expected (and actual) costs for the warehouse follow: 2017, $640,000; 2018, $1,600,000; and 2019, $800,000. The company completed the warehouse in 2019. Compute net income for each year 2017 through 2019 using the cost-to-cost method. a. 2017: $200,000 2018: $520,000 2019: $240,000 b. 2017: $640,000 2018: $1,600,000 2019: $800,000 c. 2017: $0 2018: $0 2019: $960,000 d. 2017: $320,000 2018: $320,000 2019: $320,000
Answer:
The correct option is a. 2017: $200,000 2018: $520,000 2019: $240,000.
Explanation:
The formula for cost to cost method is expected or actual cost incurred to date divided by the total cost of the project or contract.
Therefore, we have:
Total cost = Cost in 2017 + Cost in 2018 + Cost in 2019 = $640,000 + $1,600,000 + $800,000 = $3,040,000
Cost in 2017 contribution to total cost = Cost in 2017 / Total cost = $640,000 / $3,040,000 = 0.21
Cost in 2018 contribution to total cost = Cost in 2018 / Total cost = $1,600,000 / $3,040,000 = 0.53
Cost in 2019 contribution to total cost = Cost in 2019 / Total cost = $800,000 / $3,040,000 = 0.26
Revenue in 2017 = Cost in 2017 contribution to total cost * Contract price = 0.21 * $4,000,000 = $840,000
Revenue in 2018 = Cost in 2018 contribution to total cost * Contract price = 0.53 * $4,000,000 = $2,120,000
Revenue in 2019 = Cost in 2019 contribution to total cost * Contract price = 0.26 * $4,000,000 = $1,040,000
Therefore, net income for each year 2017 through 2019 using the cost-to-cost method can be computed as follows:
Net income for year 2017 = Revenue in 2017 - Cost in 2017 = $840,000 - $640,000 = $200,000
Net income for year 2018 = Revenue in 2018 - Cost in 2018 = $2,120,000 - $1,600,000 = $520,000
Net income for year 2019 = Revenue in 2019 - Cost in 2019 = $1,040,000 - $800,000 = $240,000
Therefore, the correct option is a. 2017: $200,000 2018: $520,000 2019: $240,000.

Explanation:
Lucas Diving Supplies Company, in its first year of business, had labor costs of $57,000, overhead costs of $88,000, materials purchases of $25,000, and ending Materials and Work-in-Process Inventories of $3,000 and $5,000, respectively. What is the amount of cost of goods manufactured in the first year of operations
Answer:
$162,000
Explanation:
The amount of cost of goods manufactured is computed as
= Labor cost + Direct materials purchased + overhead costs - ending balance of materials - ending balance of work in process
= $57,000 + $25,000 + $88,000 - $3,000 - $5,000
= $162,000
Hence, the cost of goods manufactured is $162,000
You purchased a 5-year, 6% annual-coupon bond with $1,000 par value. The yield to maturity at the time of purchase was 4%. You sold the bond after one year, right after receiving the first coupon payment. The bond's yield to maturity was 3.4% when you sold it. What is your holding period return on the bond
Answer:
6.12%
Explanation:
the market value of the bond when you purchased it was:
PV of face value = $1,000 / 1.04⁵ = $821.93
PV of coupon payments = $60 x 4.4518 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 5 periods) = $267.11
initial investment = $1,089.04
after 1 year, you receive $60 +
PV of face value = $1,000 / 1.034⁴ = $874.82
PV of coupon payments = $60 x 3.6818 (PV annuity factor, 3.4%, 4 periods) = $220.91
market price = $1,095.73
total holding return = ($1,095.73 + $60 - $1,089.04) / $1,089.04 = 6.12%

For example, your mortgage would be considered a expense, because . Conversely, grocery bills would be considered , because the actual amount is
Answer:
1. The correct category for each of the following items:
Cash In/Income:
Personal income
Business Income
Cash Out/Expense:
Cost of business trip = variable
State tax liability = fixed
Clothing purchases = variable
2. For example, your mortgage would be considered a fixed expense, because the total amount does not vary. Conversely, grocery bills would be considered variable, because the actual amount is not fixed but varies.
Explanation:
Variable cost or expense has a fixed cost per unit, with the total amount varying, depending on the units or quantities consumed. Fixed cost does have a fixed total amount within the relevant range, but the cost per unit varies.
During Year 3, Rex Co. introduced a new product carrying a 2-year assurance-type warranty against defects. The estimated warranty costs related to dollar sales are 2% within 12 months following sale and 4% in the second 12 months following sale. Sales and actual warranty expenditures for year ended December 31, Year 3 and Year 4, are as follows:
Year Sales Actual Warranty Expenditures
2008 $250,000 $2,250
2009 250,000 7,500
Total $500,000 $9,750
What amount should Gum report as estimated warranty liability on its December 31, 2009 balance sheet?
Answer:
the amount that should reported as the estimated liability is $20,250
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should reported as the estimated liability is as follows:
= Total sales × total percentage - total actual warranty expenditure
= $500,000 × 6% - $9,750
= $30,000 - $9,750
= $20,250
Hence, the amount that should reported as the estimated liability is $20,250

Eve Cosmetics Company consists of two departments, Blending and Filling. The Filling Department received 41,400 ounces from the Blending Department. During the period, the Filling Department completed 46,800 ounces, including 7,500 ounces of work in process at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process inventory was 2,100 ounces. How many ounces were started and completed during the period?
Answer:
39,300 ounces
Explanation:
Calculation for How many ounces were started and completed during the period
Using this formula
Numbers of ounces started and completed during the period= Filling Department completed ounces during the period - Work in process at the beginning of the period
Let plug in the formula
Numbers of ounces started and completed during the period=46,800 ounces -7,500 ounces
Numbers of ounces started and completed during the period=39,300 ounces
Therefore How many ounces were started and completed during the period is 39,300 ounces
Searls Corporation, a merchandising company, reported the following results for July: Number of units sold 2,700 units Selling price per unit $664 per unit Unit cost of goods sold $405 per unit Variable selling expense per unit $48 per unit Total fixed selling expense $56,500 Variable administrative expense per unit $13 per unit Total fixed administrative expense $118,200 Cost of goods sold is a variable cost in this company. The contribution margin for July is: Group of answer choices $534,600 $699,300 $359,900 $1,453,400
Answer:
$534,600
Explanation:
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable Costs
where :
Sales = 2,700 units x $664 = $1,792,800
Variable Costs = Costs of Goods Sold + Variable Selling Costs + Variable Administrative Cots
= 2,700 units x $405 + 2,700 units x $48 + 2,700 units x $13
= $1,258,200
therefore,
Contribution margin = $1,792,800 - $1,258,200 = $534,600

Parks Corporation is considering an investment proposal in which a working capital investment of $10,000 would be required. The investment would provide cash inflows of $2,000 per year for six years. The working capital would be released for use elsewhere when the project is completed. If the company's discount rate is 10%, the investment's net present value is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided.
Answer:
$4,355.26
Explanation:
The net present value is the present value of future cash flows expected from the project minus the initial investment outlay
initial investment outlay=working capital investment = -$10,000
Years 1-5 cash inflow=$2,000
Year 6 cash inflow=normal cash inflows+release of working capital
Year 6 cash inflow=$2,000+$10,000=$12,000
the present value of a future cash flow=cash flow/(1+r)^n
n is 1 for year cash inflow 2 for year 2 cash inflow, 3 for year 3 cash inflow and so on
NPV=-$10,000+$2,000/(1+10%)^1+$2,000/(1+10%)^2+$2,000/(1+10%)^3+$2,000/(1+10%)^4+$2,000/(1+10%)^5+$12,000/(1+10%)^6
NPV=$4,355.26
Dell is undergoing a major expansion. The expansion will be financed by issuing new 15-year, $1,000 par, 9% annual coupon bonds. The market price of the bonds is $1,070 each. Dell's flotation expense on the new bonds will be $50 per bond. Dell's marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the pre-tax cost of debt for the newly-issued bonds
Answer:
8.76%
Explanation:
The computation of the pre-tax cost of debt is as follows:
Market price of the bond is
= $1,070 - $50
= $1,020
Coupon payment = Face value × Annual coupon rate
= $1,000 × 9%
= $90
Now YTM would be
Given that
NPER = 15
PMT = $90
PV = $1,020
FV = $1,000
The formula is given below:
=RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is 8.76%
Marge owns land and a building (held for investment) with an adjusted basis of $75,000 and a fair market value of $250,000. The property is subject to a mortgage of $400,000. Because Marge is in arrears on the mortgage payments, the creditor is willing to accept the property in return for canceling the amount of the mortgage.
a. How can the adjusted basis of the property be less than the amount of the mortgage?
b. If the creditor's offer is accepted, what are the effects on the amount realized, the adjusted basis, and the realized gain or loss for Marge?
c. Does it matter in (b) if the mortgage is recourse or nonrecourse?

A. $2.34 $3.50
B. $1.78 $3.50
C. $1.78 $1.75
D. $2.34 $1.75
Answer:
C. $1.78 $1.75
Explanation:
Calculation for What amounts should Strauch report as earnings per share in its 2025 and 2024 comparative income statements issued early in 2026
Calculation for What amounts should Strauch report as earnings per share in its 2025
First step is to calculate the Weighted average shares for year 2025
Weighted average shares 2025 = [100,000 + 20,000(9/12)]÷2
Weighted average shares 2025=(100,000+15,000)*2
Weighted average shares 2025=115,000*2
Weighted average shares 2025= 230,000
Now let calculate the Earnings per share for year 2025
2025 Earnings per share for year= $410,000/230,000
2025 Earnings per share for year= $1.78
Therefore the 2025 Earnings per share for year will be $1.78
Calculation for What amounts should Strauch report as earnings per share in its 2024
First step is to calculate the Weighted average shares for year 2024
Weighted average shares 2024= 100,000(2)
Weighted average shares 2024= 200,000
Now let calculate the Earnings per share for year 2024
2024 Earnings per share = $350,000/200,000 2024 Earnings per share= $1.75
Therefore the Earnings per share for year 2024 will be $1.75
Joe wants to open a restaurant and feels his best chance of being successful would be to purchase the rights to a well-known restaurant concept. This form of restaurant ownership is known as which of the following?
Food service corporation
Food service franchise
Independent food service operation
Food service chain
Answer:
Food-service franchise
Explanation:
A food-service franchise is a business arrangement where an established and successful restaurant allows the opening of an independent branch under its brand name. The new branch will be similar to the other existing branches in terms of appearance, products and services, operations, and pricing.
For an entrepreneur to open a food service franchise, they need to purchase a license from the franchisor. The franchise license increases the chances of success as customers are already familiar with the brand.
Emilio’s accountant told him that if he continues to pay $50 a month on his credit card, it will take him 42 years to pay off his current balance (assuming the interest rate doesn’t change and assuming he doesn’t charge anything else on that card). His credit card interest rate is 18.99%. What is his balance?
Answer:
$3,158.40
Explanation:
The current balance on his credit card is the present value of $50 payable per month over 42-year period as shown below:
PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
PV=the unknown
montly paymet=$50
r=monthly interest rate= 18.99%/12=0.015825
n=number of monthly payments=42*12=504
PV=$50*(1-(1+0.015825)^-504/0.015825
PV=$50*(1-(1.015825)^-504/0.015825
PV=$50*(1-0.000365827)/0.015825
PV=$50*0.999634173/0.015825
PV=$3,158.40
Assume the smart watch industry is a perfectly competitive industry that uses a specialized input. If this industry experiences an increase in demand, we might expect that in the long run: Multiple Choice neither input nor output prices will increase. both input and output prices will increase. only input prices will increase. only output prices will increase.
Answer:
Option B, both input and output prices will increase
Explanation:
Since the demand far smart watches is increasing, the price of watches will escalate to cater the opportunity cost. With the rising demand for smart watch, the demand for specialized input will also increase. Considering the growth in demand for specialized input, its cost shall also escalate to take the benefit of opportunity. Along with raw material, variable costs such as transportation, manpower, electricity etc. will also increase both in input (bringing raw material and producing final product) and output (export of the final product)
In nut shell, both the input and output price will increase.
Fran Bowen created the following budget: Budget Food $ 364 Clothing $ 164 Transportation 408 Personal expenses and recreation 307 Housing 994 She actually spent $331 for food, $416 for transportation, $1,046 for housing, $161 for clothing, and $259 for personal expenses and recreation. Calculate the variance for each of these categories, and indicate whether it was a deficit or surplus.
Answer:
Fran Bowen
Budget Vs Actual, Variance and Status:
Budget Actual Variance Status
Food $ 364 $331 $33 Surplus
Clothing 164 161 3 Surplus
Transportation 408 416 -8 Deficit
Personal expenses and recreation 307 259 48 Surplus
Housing 994 1,046 -52 Deficit
Total $2,237 $2,213 $24 Surplus
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Budget Actual Variance Status
Food $ 364 $331 $33 Surplus
Clothing 164 161 3 Surplus
Transportation 408 416 -8 Deficit
Personal expenses and recreation 307 259 48 Surplus
Housing 994 1,046 -52 Deficit
Total $2,237 $2,213 $24 Surplus
b) The difference between the estimated budget cost and the actual cost spent on each item gives rise to either surplus or deficit. This surplus or deficit is described as the variance. It is surplus when the budgeted cost is greater than the actual cost spent. It is deficit when the budgeted cost is less than the actual cost spent.
An Argentinian economist pointed out that the inflation rate based on the PCE(personal consumption expenditures) deflator was higher than the inflation rate you calculated in part (b) based on the GDP deflator. Provide two possible explanations for this difference between the inflation rates calculated from the PCE deflatorversus the GDP deflator.
Answer:
Note: The complete question is attached as picture below
Year Nominal GDP Real GDP
2019 100 100
2020 105 99
a) %change in nominal GDP = [(105 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 5%
%change in real GDP = [(99 - 100) / 100] * 100 = -1%
b) GDP deflator is = [Nominal GDP / Real GDP]. %change in GDP deflator = [(106.06 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 6.06%
c) Inflation calculated from GDP deflator and PCE is different because
- GDP deflator does not includes price increase of imported goods while PCE does.
- PCE measures change in price of goods which are generally consumed by consumers while GDP deflator includes all goods produced in an economy.
