Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The resulting rise in unemployment is mostly a rise in __cyclical____ unemployment because it is related to the state of the economy.

Explanation:

Frictional unemployment occurs as a result of workers' search for or transition to new jobs.  It is brief and does not leave a mark on the economy.  Structural unemployment comes about when the skills of workers do not match the requirements of employers.  Therefore, workers require retraining and reskilling.  Cyclical unemployment relates to the macro-economic situation that is prevailing during periods of recession.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.  

When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.

Cash flow in year 0 = $-136,000

Cash flow in year 1 to 7 = $22,500

Cash flow in year 2 = $22,500 + 8,000

I = 8 %

NPV = $-2,378.47

sells subscriptions for for months. The company collects cash in advance and then subscribers have access to unlimited movies each month. Apply the revenue recognition principle to determine a. when should record revenue for this situation. b. the amount of revenue should record for months.

Answers

Answer:

First part of the question is:

Movies Online sells subscriptions for $36 for 18 months.

a. Apportion revenue to each month.

Going by the Revenue Recognition principle, revenue should only be recognized when the service has been delivered. Seeing as the service is monthly, the company should find out the total revenue for the 18 months and then apportion this to each of those 18 months and recognize a monthly revenue at the end of each month.

b. Amount of revenue for 8 months:

First find the revenue per month:

= Total revenue / 18 months

= 36 / 18

= $2 per month

Revenue for 8 months:

= 2 * 8

= $16

A company needs 550,000 items per year. It costs the company $330 to prepare a production run of these items and $5 to produce each item. If it also costs the company $0.75 per year for each item stored, find the number of items that should be produced in each run so that total costs of production and storage are minimized. items/run

Answers

Answer:

Company A

The number of items that should be produced in each run to minimize total costs of production and storage is:

= 22,000 units

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total annual demand = 550,000 units

Cost per production run = $330

Cost per unit = $5

Storage (holding) cost per item = $0.75

The number of items that should be produced in each run to minimize total costs of production and storage is given by Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) formula

= square root of (2 * 550,000 * $330)/$0.75

= square root of $363,000,000/$0.75

= square root of 484,000,000

= 22,000 units

Answers

Answer:

a, a movement along a demand curve

b. shift of the demand curve.

c. a movement along a demand curve

d. shift of the demand curve.

Explanation:

Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the demand curve of that good. Also, only a change in the price of the good would lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity demanded of that good.

Other factors other than the change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the demand curve. Some of those factors include :

1. a change in consumers' expectation

2. a change in the taste of consumers

3. a change in income

a. A discount would reduce the price of furniture, as a result the quantity demanded would increase. There would be a movement down along the demand curve.

b. As a result of the increase in grant, the income of students increase. this would lead to an increase in demand. the demand curve would shift outward

c. As a result of higher prices, the quantity demanded of detergents would reduce. This would lead to a movement up along the demand curve for detergents

d. An increase in demand for energy drinks is as a result of a change in taste. this would lead to an outward shift of the demand curve

A company enters a futures contract to sell 50,000 units of a commodity for 70 cents per unit. The initial margin is $4,000 and the maintenance margin is $3,000. What change in the futures price (per unit) would lead to a margin call?

Answers

Answer:

72 cents

Explanation:

There is going to be a margin call when greater than 1000 dollars has been lost from the margin. Then the balance in the account is going to be smaller than that of the maintenance margin. so 1 cent increase in the price would bring about a lossof

0.01 * 50000

= $500

if the increase in the future price is about 2 cents then there would be a margin call.

70+2 = 72cents, this is when there would be a margin call

Answer:

Executive opinions,

Delphi method,

Salesforce polling.

2) Using the 2 quantitative forecasting methods:-

The straight-line method,

The average approach.

Explanation:

1) Using the 3 qualitative forecasting methods

Executive opinions- In this method, he could seek subjective views from experts concerning his sales. this might be viewed on his purchasing, finance, and future sales. However, it's utilized in conjunction with other quantitative forecasting methods so as to realize the simplest forecasts.

Delphi method- He could question a gaggle of experts about their views individually. they are doing not meet to avoid manipulation in judgments. Forecasts during this case might be compiled and analyzed by an external observer and returned to the experts for further questioning.

Salesforce polling- he could use this approach whereby he reaches bent people that are in touch with the regular customers and who can correctly predict the trends of the customers' consumption so as to offer him insights on how and when to restock counting on demand. This method is sweet for future forecasting since it gives the expected consumption trends of the purchasers that would be employed by the owner to make a decision on the quantity of inventory to stock in the future.

2) Using the 2 quantitative forecasting methods:-

The straight-line method- This is the only method of calculating future sales supported past data. It involves the utilization of a straight-line equation this measures the expansion or future predictions in sort of percentages. Here, past data is collected and a few analysis is completed to work out the trend that customers might adopt in their subsequent purchases. once they're known, the forecast on increasing or decreasing the inventory is predicated on percentage increase or reduction respectively. for instance, once demand is forecasted to grow, the vendor will decide the share they might order to hide the rise in demand.

The average approach- Here, the owner of a business conducts a mean of the past sales they need to be made to customers over a selected period. the most assumption is that the longer-term forecast is that the average of the past data. Since the owner has been making overstocking and understocking methods, it's assumed that the type of the orders is adequate to the longer-term forecast. for instance, if the owner decided within the past to order 100 units of a specific product and therefore the customers demanded quite 100 units maybe 150 units, there's an understocking decision. The owner might plan to increase subsequent stock to 200 units and at this point, the purchasers only demand 175 units making him to possess more stock than it had been required. On learning this concerning the market, the owner then decides to conduct a mean and order 150 units to require care of the overstocking and under-stocking problems.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: Demand analysis is the process of understanding the customer demand for a product or service in a target market. Companies use demand analysis techniques to determine if they can successfully enter a market and generate expected profits to expand their business operations. It also gives a better understanding of the high-demand markets for the company’s offerings, using which businesses can determine the viability of investing in each of these markets. The importance of demand analysis in the business decision is that it helps firms design their pricing policy. The Firm can choose either to lower or raise a product’s price by observing the trend of consumer demand for that product. Producers can’t fix the price for their products without first understanding the market demand for them. These are reasons why I think demand analysis is essential for businesses

If Job A-500 consists of 70 units, what is the unit product cost for this job? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

1.

Total hours for job A - 500

= Direct labor ÷direct labor wage rate

= $150 ÷ $15

= 10

Total over head cost = overhead cost per labor hours × no. of labor hours

= $20 × 10

= $200

total manufacturing cost = Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Total over head cost

= $280 + $150 + $200

= $630

2.  

Cost assigned to each unit

= total manufacturing cost ÷  number of units

= $630 ÷ 70

The Selling price of the order  is $5

The Variable cost of manufacturing is $3

The Contribution per unit is $2

The Number of units is 1500

now  

Total contribution

= 1500 × $2

Answers

Answer:

a. Price 1 year later = $810

b. Annual rate of return on the bond = -24.53%

c. Since -24.79% is lower than -24.53% obtained part b, this implies that annual rate of return is slightly less than our part b answer.

d. Annual real rate of return on the bond = -26.73%

Explanation:

a. If the bond has a yield to maturity of 10.7% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to nearest whole number.)

This can be calculated as follows:

Price 1 year later = Coupon rate * Par value / Yield to maturity * (1 - 1 / (100% + Yield to maturity)^Years to maturity) + Par value / (100% + Yield to maturity)^Years to maturity = 7.3% * 1000 / 10.7% * (1 - 1 / (100% + 10.7%)^9) + 1000 / (100% + 10.7%)^9 = $810

b. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

This can be calculated as follows:

Annual rate of return on the bond = (Price 1 year later + Coupon rate * Par value) / Price now - 1 = (810 + 7.3% * 1000) / 1170 - 1 = -24.53%

c. Now assume that interest is paid semiannually. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond?Slightly greater than your part b answer Slightly less than your part b answer

This can be determined as follows:

Price 1 year later = (Coupon rate / 2) * Par value / (Yield to maturity / 2) * (1 - 1 / (100% + (Yield to maturity / 2))^(Years to maturity * 2)) + Par value / (100% + (Yield to maturity / 2))^(Years to maturity * 2) = (7.3% / 2) * 1000 / (10.7% / 2) * (1 - 1 / (100% + (10.7% / 2))^(9 * 2)) + 1000 / (100% + (10.7% / 2))^(9 * 2) = $807

Annual rate of return on the bond = (Price 1 year later + Coupon rate * Par value) / Price now - 1 = (807 + (7.3% / 2) * 1000) / 1170 - 1 = -24.79%

Since -24.79% is lower than -24.53% obtained part b, this implies that annual rate of return is slightly less than our part b answer.

d. If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the annual real rate of return on the bond? (Assume annual interest payments.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

This can be calculated as follows:

Annual real rate of return on the bond = (1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation)-1 = (1 - 24.53%) / (1 +3 %) - 1 = -26.73%

Chris and Jane have recently financed the purchase of a new home. They have signed a mortgage note in the amount of $250,000 with a fixed interest rate of 6.25% over 30 years. What would have been the difference, if any, in their monthly payment if they had signed this same note for only a 15-year period

Answers

Answer:

Chris and Jane

The difference in their monthly payment if they had signed this same note for only a 15-year period is:

= $8,346.57.

Explanation:

Mortgage Note Payable = $250,000

Fixed interest rate = 6.25%

Period of the note = 30 years or 15 years

Difference in monthly payment:

30-year period = $9,022.96

15-year period = $17,369.53

Difference =        $8,346.57

b) The computations show that Chris and Jane pay more per month on a 15-year period mortgage than on a 30-year period mortgage.  However, the total interest is more with a 30-year period than with a 15-year period.  This shows that interest expense increases more with longer periods of debt.

From an online financial calculator:

N (# of periods)  30

I/Y (Interest per year)  6.25

PV (Present Value)  250000

FV (Future Value)  0

 

Results

PMT = $9,022.96

Sum of all periodic payments = $270,688.83

Total Interest = $20,688.83

N (# of periods)  15

I/Y (Interest per year)  6.25

PV (Present Value)  250000

FV (Future Value)  0

Results

PMT = $17,369.53

Sum of all periodic payments = $260,542.92

Total Interest = $10,542.92

Your grandparents put $10,200 into an account so that you would have spending money in college. You put the money into an account that will earn an APR of 4.19 percent compounded monthly. If you expect that you will be in college for 4 years, how much can you withdraw each month?

Answers

Answer:

Monthly withdrawal = $ 231.17 per month

Explanation:

Below is the calculation:

Deposit amount in the bank = $10200

Interest rate earned by the deposit = 4.19%

Monthly interest rate = 4.19% / 12 = 0.34917%

Number of periods = 4 years x 12 = 48

Amount in the account = Monthly withdrawal x (P/A, 0.34917%, 48)

10200 = Monthly withdrawal x 44.12246

Monthly withdrawal = 10200/44.12246

Monthly withdrawal = $ 231.17 per month
