In Macroland autonomous consumption equals 100, the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.75, net taxes are fixed at 40, planned investment is fixed at 50, government purchases are fixed at 150, and net exports are fixed at 20. Planned aggregate expenditure equals:________a.1,000. b.1,160. c.1,280. d.1,440.

Answers

Answer:

b) $1,160

Explanation:

From the above information,

I=Investment = 50

G=Government expenditure = 150

X=Net export = 20

a=autonomous consumption = 100

b=Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75

Y=Equilibrium GDP

C = consumption ;

C = 100 + 0.75Y (Y income - 40 taxes)

Planned aggregate expenditure (PAE)

PAE = C + l +G +X

Substituting for C in the above equation,

PAE = 100 + 0.75 (Y - 40) + 50 + 150+ 20

= 100 + 0.75Y -30 + 50 + 150 + 20

= 290 + 0.75Y

Since short run exists when Y = PAE

Therefore,

Y = 290 + 0.75Y

Collect like terms

Y - 0.75Y = 290

0.25Y =290

Y = 290/0.25

Y = 1,160

Suppose you work for a company that makes a product line for a large hardware chain. The chain asks you for a price quote for 30,000 units that will require a $1,500,000 investment with marginal costs of $15 per unit. What is the lowest price you are willing to quote

Answers

Answer:

$1,950,000

Explanation:

Note the company has a margin per unit cost and investment cost, where

investment cost =  $1,500,000

+

margin per unit cost =  $450,000 (30,000 x $15)

Thus, total cost = $1,950,000. Since companies do not want to make loses, but may allow for break-even, the lowest price to quote  should not be lesser than the total cost of $1,950,000.

Answers

Answer:

James and Short LLC

Short's capital account on July 1, 20X1 should be recorded at the fair value of contributed property minus the mortgage liability, which the partnership assumed.

Explanation:

The fair value of contributed property is the current market value of the contributed property by Short.  It is the market value that will determine how the contributed property can be valued.  The market value assumes that the contributed property is being sold in pieces and not as a whole.  This is why the value is considered a fair basis for recognizing the capital contribution of Short into the partnership.

On November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 8% note payable, with a face value of $9,000. What is the maturity value (principal plus interest) of the note on March 1

Answers

Answer:

$9,240

Explanation:

Computation of Maturity Value of the note

First step is to find the interest amount using this formula

Interest amount=(Face value *Note payable)*Numbers of days to signed/Numbers of days in a year

Let plug in the formula

Interest Amount = ($9,000*8%)*120/365

Interest amount = $720 * 120 / 360

Interest amount=720*0.33333

$240

Next step is to calculate for the Maturity value using this formula

Maturity Value = Face value +Interest amount

Let plug in the formula

Maturity value =$9,000 + $240

Maturity value = $9,240

Therefore the maturity value of the note on March 1 will be $9,240

Nichols, Inc. has 1,000 shares of 4%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 75,000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31 of the current year and has declared a dividend for the year. What is the annual dividend that will be paid to the preferred stockholders

Answers

Answer: $20,000

Explanation:

The dividends due to preferred stock are fixed and quoted on the preference shares.

The above shares are to get 4% of their par value in dividends.

= (4% * 100) * 5,000 shares

= $20,000

A yearly dividend is a the price paid per share of funds by the firm to its stockholders.

The yearly dividend that will be paid to the elected stockholders will be $20,000

It can be determined by using the formula:

[tex]= \text{Monthly Shares} \times \text{Number of payments per year}[/tex]

The above shares are to get 4% of their par price in interests:

[tex]= (4\% \times 100) \times 5,000 \; \text{shares}[/tex]

= $20,000

Therefore, $20,000 will be paid to the stockholders.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided in the attached pdf file before answering the question. Please, see the attached file for the full question.

Also note that the "1. Option A 2. Option B 3. Option C" are not actually part of the question.

The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

Note: This is an example of annuity. An annuity can be described as a series of payments made or income received at equal intervals.

Therefore, the relevant table in the question is the second table, i.e. table for the present value of an annuity of $1 at compound interest.

To calculate the present value (PV), the following for formula is used:

PV = ACI * PVA10% ............................ (1)

PV = Present value = ?

ACI = Annual cash inflows = $6,000

PVA = Present value of annuity of $1 at 10% for 4 years = 3.170

Note that the PVA is obtained for year 4 at 10% from the second table as already explained above.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV = $6,000 * 3.170

PV = $19,020

Therefore, the correct option is option b. $19,020.

Total cost___________

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $123,525

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs: supervisor's salary $1,200; factory rent $2,900

Mixed costs: utilities $1,700+ $5.75 per unit

Variable costs per unit manufacturing labor wages $21.00; supplies used in production $9.00; packaging cost $2.75, warranty cost $4

We need to determine the total cost of 2,770 units:

Total variable cost= 5.75*2,770 + 21*2,770 + 9*2,770 + 2.75*2,770 + 4*2,770

Total variable cost= $117,725

Total fixed costs= 1,200 + 2,900 + 1,700= $5,800

Total cost= 117,725 + 5,800= $123,525

Answers

The question is incomplete as it is missing the figures. The complete question is,

Fremont Enterprises has an expected return of 15% and Laurelhurst News has an expected return of 20%.  If you put 70% of your portfolio in Laurelhurst and 30% in Fremont, what is the expected return of your portfolio?

Answer:

Portfolio return = 0.185 or 18.5%

Explanation:

The expected return of a portfolio is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks returns' that form up the portfolio. The expected return of a portfolio can be calculated using the following formula,

Portfolio return = wA * rA  +  wB * rB  +  ...  +  wN * rN

Where,

w represents weight of each stock in the portfolior represents the return of each stock in the portfolio

Portfolio return = 0.3 * 0.15  +  0.7 * 0.2

Portfolio return = 0.185 or 18.5%

A survey of entrepreneurs focused on their job characteristics, work habits, social activities, leisure time, etc. One question put to each entrepreneur was, "What make of car (U.S., Europe, or Japan) do you drive

Answers

Answer: Hello below is the complete question

A survey of entrepreneurs focused on their job characteristics, work habits, social activities, leisure time, etc. One question put to each entrepreneur was, "What make of car (U.S., Europe, or Japan) do you drive?" The responses (number in each category) for a sample of 100 entrepreneurs are summarized below. The goal of the analysis is to determine if the proportions of entrepreneurs who drive American, European, and Japanese cars differ.

U.S. Europe Japan

40 35 25

In order to determine whether the true proportions in each response category differ, a one-way chi-square analysis should be conducted. Suppose the p-value for the test was calculated to be p=0.1738 . What is the appropriate conclusion to make when testing at α = 0.10?

Answer : The conclusion to be drawn is that We cannot reject the Null hypothesis if we use a one-way chi square analysis because at α = 0.1 from the chi-square  tabulated p-value = 0.584 while the calculated /given p-value is = 0.1738

Explanation:

Data given:

p-value = 0.1738

α = 0.10

sample size = 100

U.S cars = 40,      Europe cars = 35,   Japan cars = 25

The conclusion to be drawn is that We cannot reject the Null hypothesis if we use a one-way chi square analysis because at α = 0.1 from the chi-square  tabulated p-value = 0.584 while the calculated /given p-value is = 0.1738

One of the problems with licensing as a method of achieving international business is that it is a much more difficult procedure to implement than the other methods.
a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

Licensing involves a company giving another company in another country/market permission to produce its products or use its likeness. The company that gets the license will then pay the parent company specified amounts for being able to do so.

This method of international business is cheap as the company licensing will see its brand spread to other countries without actually having to worry about set-up costs in the other country which can be very high. It is therefore one of the easiest methods of expanding to international markets there is.

You own a stock portfolio invested 30 percent in Stock Q, 25 percent in Stock R, 25 percent in Stock S, and 20 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are .95, 1.12, 1.13, and 1.30, respectively. What is the portfolio beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Portfolio beta = 1.1075

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks betas' that form up the portfolio. To calculate the portfolio beta, we use the following formula,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

w represents the weight of each stock in portfolio

Portfolio beta = 0.30 * 0.95  +  0.25 * 1.12  +  0.25 * 1.13  +  0.20 * 1.30

Portfolio beta = 1.1075

All of the following statements regarding convertible bonds are true except:_________.
A. Holders of convertible bonds can generally decide whether to convert to stock.
B. Holders of convertible bonds have the potential to profit from increases in stock price.
C. Holders of convertible bonds can choose when to convert to stock.
D. Holders of convertible bonds have the option to not convert and continue receiving bond interest payments and par value at maturity.
E. Holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion.

Answers

Answer: Holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion

Explanation:

A convertible bond is a debt security that yields the payment of interest, but can also be converted into equity shares or common stock that are predetermined.

The option that holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion is wrong. This is because the number I shares that will be eventually converted will already have been fixed.

Suppose the rate of inflation was 2 percent in India from 2008-2012 and, over that same period, the inflation rate in the United States was 2.7 percent. Based on these inflation trends, which of the following is true?

a. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has depreciated relative to the dollar.
b. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar

Answers

Answer:

b. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar

Explanation:

Remember, the inflation rate looks at how the prices of goods and services in a country increases over a period of time, and it's effects on the the purchasing value or power of money in the country.

As in this scenario, India had 2 percent inflation rate while United States had 2.7 which is a higher price increases not in a different period but the same one, meaning that the Purchasing power parity (PPP) condition of the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar from 2008-2012.

You bought one of Great White Shark Repellant Co.’s 6.6 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $1,056. These bonds make annual payments and mature 11 years from now. Suppose you decide to sell your bonds today, when the required return on the bonds is 4.5 percent. The bonds have a par value of $1,000. If the inflation rate was 3.2 percent over the past year, what was your total real return on investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

14.25%

Explanation:

For computing the total real return first we have to find out the present value and the required return which is shown below:

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 4.5%

NPER = 11 years

PMT = $1,000 × 6.6% = $66

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula the present value is $1,179.11

Now the required return is

= ($1,179.11 + $66) ÷ ($1,056) -1

= 17.91%

And finally,

total real return

= ($1.1791 ÷ 1.032) - 1

= 14.25%

As assistant to the CFO of Boulder Inc., you must estimate the Year 1 cash flow for a project with the following data:

Sales revenues $13,000
Depreciation $4,000
Other operating costs $6,000
Tax rate 35.0%

What is the Year 1 cash flow?
a. $6,962
b. $5,950
c. $7,438
d. $5,177
e. $7,378

Answers

Answer:

$5,950

Explanation:

Boulder incorporation reported the following data for year 1

Sales revenue= $13,000

Depreciation= $4,000

Other operating costs= $6,000

Tax rate= 35%

The first step is to calculate the EBIT

= sales revenue-operating costs-depreciation

= $13,000-$6,000-$4,000

= $3,000

Therefore, the cash flow for year 1 can be calculated as follows

= 3,000×35/100

= 3,000×0.35

= 1,050

= 3,000-1,050

= 1,950

Cash flow= 4,000+1,950

= $5,950

Hence the cash flow for year 1 is $5,950

Rahman stock just paid a dividend of $3.00 per share. Future dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% per year. What is the value of the stock if the required return is 12%

Answers

Answer:value of stock for the required return of 12 % =  $53

Explanation:

Given

current dividend just paid = $3.00

dividend to grow at constant rate of 6%

required rate of return =12%

to calculate the value of stock for the requitred return of 12 % , we use the dividend growth model which is  

Current price = dividend ( 1 + growth rate )/ (required rate -growth rate )

                        = 3 x (1+6%) / 12-6 = 3 x 1.06 /6% =3.18/0.06=  $53

Therefore  value of stock for the requitred return of 12 % ,=  $53

For the following investments, identify whether they are: Trading debt securities. Available-for-sale debt securities. Held-to-maturity debt securities. None of the above. Each case is independent of the other.
(a) A bond that will mature in 4 years was bought 1 month ago when the price dropped. As soon as the value increases, which is expected next month, it will be sold.
(b) 10% of the outstanding stock of Farm-Co was purchased. The company is planning on eventually getting a total of 30% of its outstanding stock.
(c) Bonds were purchased in December of this year. The bonds are expected to be sold in January of next year.
(d) Bonds that will mature in 5 years are purchased. The company would like to hold them until they mature, but money has been tight recently and they may need to be sold.
(e) Preferred stock was purchased for its constant dividend. The company is planning to hold the preferred stock for a long time.
(f) A bond that matures in 10 years was purchased. The company is investing money set aside for an expansion project planned 10 years from now.

Answers

Answer:

(a) A bond that will mature in 4 years was bought 1 month ago when the price dropped. As soon as the value increases, which is expected next month, it will be sold.  - Trading Debt Securities

Trading debt securities such as these are held only for a short time before they are sold with the goal being short term profit.

(b) 10% of the outstanding stock of Farm-Co was purchased. The company is planning on eventually getting a total of 30% of its outstanding stock.  - None of the Above

This is an Equity Investment.

(c) Bonds were purchased in December of this year. The bonds are expected to be sold in January of next year.  - Trading Debt Securities

Like the bond in (a), this is being held for a short while only and then it will be sold so it is a Trading debt security.

(d) Bonds that will mature in 5 years are purchased. The company would like to hold them until they mature, but money has been tight recently and they may need to be sold.  - Available-for-sale debt securities

Available for sale debt securities are to be sold before maturity and therefore have no certain selling time. The bond above has no selling time as it might be sold at any point so it is an Available-for-sale debt security.

(e) Preferred stock was purchased for its constant dividend. The company is planning to hold the preferred stock for a long time.  - None of the above.

This is an Equity investment as well.

(f) A bond that matures in 10 years was purchased. The company is investing money set aside for an expansion project planned 10 years from now. - Held-to-maturity debt securities.

Held to Maturity bonds are bought with no intention of selling and the company hopes to hold them till they mature like this bond which will be held for 10 years.

Torque corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $1 in the upcoming year. dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 6% per year. the risk free rate of return is 5% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. the stock of torque corporation has a beta of 1.2. what is the return you should require on torque stock?a) 12%,
b) 14.6%,
c) 15.6%,
d) 20%

Answers

Answer:

The required rate of return on stock is 14.6% and option b is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.

The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market

r = 0.05 + 1.2 * (0.13 - 0.05)

r = 0.146 or 14.6%
