Answer:
The full question is "The following three defense stocks are to be combined into a stock index in January 2013 (perhaps a portfolio manager believes these stocks are an appropriate benchmark for his or her performance): Price Shares (millions) 1/1/13 1/1/14 1/1/15 Douglas McDonnell 355 $ 86 $ 91 $ 103 Dynamics General 455 55 52 66 International Rockwell 270 84 73 87 a. Calculate the initial value of the index if a price-weighting scheme is used. (Index value) b. What is the rate of return on this index for the year ending December 31, 2013? For the year ending December 31, 2014?"
a. Initial value for Index = Sum of prices / Number of stocks
Initial value for Index = ($86+$55+$84)/3
Initial value for Index = $225/3
Initial value for Index = $75
b. For the year ending December 31, 2013
Index value at the end of 2013 = ($91+$52+$73)/3
Index value at the end of 2013 = $216/3
Index value at the end of 2013 = 72
Rate of Return = (Ending price - Beginning price) / Beginning price
Rate of Return = (72-75)/75
Rate of Return = -3/75
Rate of Return = -0.04
Rate of Return = -4%
For the year ending December 31, 2014
Index value at the end of 2014 = ($103+$66+$87)/3
Index value at the end of 2014 = $256/3
Index value at the end of 2014 = $85.33
Rate of Return = (Ending price - Beginning price) / Beginning price
Rate of Return = (85.33-72)/72
Rate of Return = 13.33/72
Rate of Return = 0.1851
Rate of Return = 18.51%
Suppose you are the agent for a baseball pitcher. Suppose he is offered the following contract by the New York Yankees: a signing bonus of $3,000,000 (to be received immediately), a first year’s salary of $6,000,000 (to be received one year from today), a second year’s salary of $7,000,000 (to be received two years from today), and a third year’s salary of $8,000,000 (to be received three years from today). Suppose he is offered the following contracts by the San Francisco Giants: a signing bonus of $6,000,000, a first year’s salary of $5,500,000, a second year’s salary of $6,000,000, and a third year’s salary of $6,000,000.
If you believe the interest rate is 10%, which offer would you advise the pitcher to accept?
Would your advice change if you believed the interest rate were 5%?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
New York Yankees:
Signing bonus= $3,000,000
Cf1= $6,000,000
Cf2= $7,000,000
Cf3= $8,000,000
San Francisco Giants:
Signing bonus= $6,000,000
Cf1= $5,500,000
Cf2= $6,000,000
Cf3= $6,000,000
The best option is the one with the higher Present Value.
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= Cf/(1+i)^n
a) New York Yankees:
Cf0=3,000,000
Cf1= 6,000,000/1.1= 5,454,545.45
Cf2= 7,000,000/1.1^2= 5,785,123.97
Cf3= 8,000,000/1.1^3= 6,010,518.41
Total PV= $20,250,187.83
San Francisco Giants:
Cf0= 6,000,000
Cf1= 5,500,000/1.1= 5,000,000
Cf2= 6,000,000/1.1^2= 4,958,677.69
Cf3= 6,000,000/1.1^3= 4,507,888.81
Total PV= $20,466,566.5
At an interest rate of 10%, the contract of San Francisco Giants is the more profitable.
b) i= 5%
New York Yankees:
Cf0=3,000,000
Cf1= 6,000,000/1.05= 5,714,285.71
Cf2= 7,000,000/1.05^2= 6,349,206.35
Cf3= 8,000,000/1.05^3= 6,910,700.79
Total PV= $21,974,192.85
San Francisco Giants:
Cf0= 6,000,000
Cf1= 5,500,000/1.05= 5,238,095.24
Cf2= 6,000,000/1.05^2= 5,442,176.87
Cf3= 6,000,000/1.05^3= 5,183,025.59
Total PV= $21,863,297.7
At an interest rate of 5%, the contract of New York Yankees is the more profitable.
For each of the following incidents, determine whether the individuals will be motivated to behave as desired.
Frank Edwards is head basketball coach at a small regional state university, a campus of the state’s main university system. He has just had a visit with Walter Johnson, a local high school athlete who is clearly one of the state’s blue chip basketball prospects. Frank desperately needs a player of Walter’s potential to turn his mediocre team around, but he realizes that it won’t be easy to sign him. He is confident that he made it clear to Walter that there is a scholarship available for Walter if he wants it. He also knows that Walter needs a scholarship to be able to go to college. However, an article in the Sunday Sports section reports that two of the major state university coaches (larger schools upstate, with nationally known basketball programs) also intend to actively recruit Walter. Coach Edwards should take which of the following actions?
A. Send Walter a written and notarized offer of the scholarship.B. Write Walter's parents, stressing that the scholarship will cover all of his tuition, room and board, and book expenses.C. Write a letter to Walter stressing to him the value of a college education.D. Talk to Walter again, stressing the likelihood that he would make the starting five in his freshman year.E. Do nothing. Walter will probably sign with him anyway.
Answer:
C). Write a letter to Walter stressing to him the value of a college education.
Explanation:
The most ethical and moral action that Coach Edward should take in the given situation would be to 'write a letter to Walter stressing to him the value/significance of college education.' It would not only educate Walter regarding the crucial role that college education plays in defining the success and personality of an individual but also emphasize the benefits of joining the college team which would be vital to his overall career and give a direction to his skills. Thus, this would serve Coach Edwards' purpose ethically by making Walter understand the idea logically and convince him. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

On January 1, 2021, NFB Visual Aids issued $720,000 of its 20-year, 8% bonds. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. NFB Visual Aids records interest expense at the effective rate and elected the option to report these bonds at their fair value. On December 31, 2021, the fair value of the bonds was $600,000 as determined by their market value in the over-the-counter market. General (risk-free) interest rates did not change during 2021. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required:
1-a. Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2021.
1-b to 4. Prepare the necessary Journal entries.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of price of the bonds is shown below:-
Interest on Bond = Bond Face Value × Interest rate × 6 ÷ 12 months
= $720,000 × 8% × 6 ÷ 12
= $28,800
Present Value of interest payments = Interest on bond × PVAF(i%, n)
i = semi annual discounting rate = 10% × 6 ÷ 12
= 5%
n = number of semi annual periods
= 20 years × 2 periods
= 40 periods
Present Value of interest payments = $28,800 × PVAF(5%, 40)
= $28,800 × 17.15909
= $494,182
Present Value of Redemption Value = Redemption Value × PVF(5%, 40)
= $720,000 × 0.142046
= $102,273
Price of Bonds = $494,182 + $102,273
= $596,455
1-b The Journal entries are shown below:-
a. Cash Dr, 596,455
Discount on Bonds Payable Dr, $123,545
To Bonds Payable $720,000
(Being the issuance of bonds is recorded)
b. Interest Expense Dr, $29,823 (596,455 × 10% × 6 ÷ 12)
To Discount on Bonds Payable $1,023
To Cash $28,800 ($720,000 × 8% × 6 ÷ 12)
(Being the first interest payment is recorded)
c. Interest Expense Dr, $29,874 (($596,455 + $1,023) × 10% × 6 ÷ 12)
To Discount on Bonds Payable $1,074
To Cash Dr, $28,800
($720,000 × 8% × 6 ÷ 12)
(To record the second interest payment)
d. Unrealized Holding Loss Dr, 1,448
To Fair Value Adjustment $1,448
(Being adjust the bonds to their fair value is recorded)
Working Notes:
1) Bonds Payable Value after adjusting Discount
= $596,455+$1,023+$1,074
= $598,552
Fair Value of Bonds as on Dec 31 = $600,000
Fair Value adjustment amount is
= $600,000 - $598,552
= $1,448

Complement goods are goods that can be used together. If the price of one Dvd payers falls, the demand for DVDs would increase. This would lead to a rightward shift of the demand curve. Equilibrium price and quantity would increase
b. As a result of the report, the demand for chocolate candy bars increases. This would lead to a rightward shift of the demand curve. Equilibrium price and quantity would increase
c. As a result of the policies, the demand for cigarettes would fall. This would lead to a leftward shift of the demand curve. Equilibrium price and quantity would fall.
d. As a result of the automation, there would be less need for unskilled labour. As a result, the demand for unskilled labour would fall. This would lead to a leftward shift of the demand curve. Equilibrium price and quantity would fall.
e. increase in interest rate increases the demand for bonds. This would lead to a rightward shift of the demand curve. Equilibrium price and quantity would increase
f. as a result of the flooding, there would be a reduction in supply. The supply curve would shift leftward. Equilibrium price would rise and equilibrium quantity would fall
Recording and Reporting Accrued Liabilities and Deferred Revenue with Discussion of Accrual Versus Cash Accounting
During its first year of operations, Walnut Company completed the following two transactions. The annual accounting period ends December 31.
A. Paid and recorded wages of $140,000 during Year 1; however, at the end of Year 1, three days' wages are unpaid and have not yet been recorded because the weekly payroll will not be paid to employees until January 6 of Year 2. Wages for the three days are $4,900.
B. Collected rent revenue of $4,800 on December 12 of Year 1 for office space that Walnut rented to another company. The rent collected was for 30 days from December 12 of Year 1 to January 10 of Year 2. Record the collection of rent on December 12.
Required:
1. With respect to wages, provide the adjusting entry required at the end of year 1 and the journal entry required on January 6 of year 2.
2. With respect to rent revenue, provide the journal entry for the collection of rent on December 10 and the adjusting entry required on December 31.
Answer:
Walnut Company
1. Adjusting Journal Entry:
December 31, Year 1:
Debit Wages Expense $4,900
Credit Wages Payable $4,900
To accrue unpaid wages at the end of the year.
General Journal Entry:
January 6, Year 2:
Debit Wages Payable $4,900
Credit Cash Account $4,900
To record the payment of accrued wages.
2. General Journal Entry:
December 12, Year 1:
Debit Cash Account $4,800
Credit Deferred Rent Revenue $4,800
To record the receipt of rent in advance.
Adjusting Journal Entry:
December 31, Year 1:
Debit Deferred Rent Revenue $3,200
Credit Rent Revenue $3,200
To adjust for rent revenue earned for 20 days.
Explanation:
The rent revenue of $4,800 according to the question is for 30 days. December 12 to December 31 has 20 days while January 1 to January 10 has 10 days. So the rent revenue for Year 1 is computed as $4,800 * 20/30 = $3,200 while the remaining balance will be for rent revenue in Year 1 ($4,800 * 10/30).

Oriole Products manufactures two component parts: AJ40 and AJ60. AJ40 components are being introduced currently, and AJ60 parts have been in production for several years. For the upcoming period, 1,500 units of each product are planned for manufacturing. Assume that the only relevant overhead cost is for engineering change orders (any requested changes in product design or the manufacturing process). AJ40 components are expected to require 4 change orders and AJ60 only 2. Each AJ40 requires 1 machine hour, and each AJ60 requires 1.5 machine hours. The cost of a change order is $420.
Required:
Estimate the cost of engineering change orders for AJ40 and AJ60 components if Blue uses a traditional costing method and machine hours as the allocation base.
Answer:
Total allocated cost for AJ40 $189,000
Total allocated cost for AJ60 $283,500
Total $472,500
Explanation:
Calculation to Estimate the cost of engineering change orders for AJ40 and AJ60
First step is to calculate for the Total number of change orders
AJ40 AJ60
Units planned 1,500 1,500
÷No. of change orders 4 2
=Total number of change orders 375 +750=1,125
Second step is to for the Total cost of change order
AJ40 AJ60
Units planned 1,500 1,500
×Machine hours per unit 1 1.5
=Total machine hours required 1,500 + 2,250 =3,750
Third step is to find the Total cost of change order
AJ40 AJ60
Total number of change orders 375 750
× Cost of a change order $420 $420
=Total cost of change order $157,500 $315,00
Total cost of change order=$157,500 +$315,000
=Total cost of change order = $472,500
Now let Estimate the cost of engineering change orders for AJ40 and AJ60 using Traditional system
TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
Total allocated cost for AJ40 $189,000 (472,500*1,500/3,750)
Total allocated cost for AJ60 $283,500 (472,500*2,250/3,750)
Hence,
Total allocated cost for AJ40 $189,000+Total allocated cost for AJ60 $283,500
=$472,500
A project has annual depreciation of $25,500, costs of $101,900, and sales of $150,500. The applicable tax rate is 34 percent. What is the operating cash flow
Answer:
$48,600
Explanation:
Operating Cash flow is the cash generated from operating/trading activities of a firm. It is very important to include only the cash transactions and ignore any non -cash items.
Thus,
Operating Cash flow = $150,500 - $101,900
= $48,600

What is the growth rate of nominal GDP? Y0 real GDP= $1200 (in millions) Y1 real GDP= $1400 (in millions) Y0 price level= 125 Y1 price level= 140
Answer:
12%
Explanation:
The computation of the growth rate of nominal GDP is shown below:
As we know that
Nominal GDP = Real GDP × (Price level ÷ 100)
For
Nominal GDP, Y0
= $1,200 × (125 ÷ 100)
= $1,500
And,
Nominal GDP, Y1 is
= $1,200 × (140 ÷ 100)
= $1,680
Now the growth rate of nominal GDP is
= ($1,680 ÷ $1,500) - 1
= 12%
In a Las Vegas casino, an employee discovered a flaw in the accounting system. The accounts payable clerk discovered that he was able to change the names of vendors in the computer system to his name. As a result, the employee could create false invoices and then cut a check for the false invoice. The name on the check would be changed to the name of the employee. After the check was printed, the name in the system could then be changed back to the appropriate vendor. The check register would show only the name of the vendor. The fraudulent employee had authorization to sign checks under $1,000. By writing small checks, the employee was able to defraud the company of $10,000. This fraud was caught by accident then the employee of another department was looking through the vendor list on her computer after the fraudulent employee had changed the vendor name to his name. A few entries later, the vendor name changed again. She wondered how this could occur and asked her supervisor. Soon after, the fraudulent employee was caught.
1. What kind of fraud is being committed?2. What percent of frauds are of this type?3. How could this fraud have been prevented?
Answer:
- This type of fraud is check tampering
- It amounts to 20.1% of fraud cases in small businesses, and 8.4% of fraud in large businesses
- This type of fraud can be prevented by rotating employees that handle check issuance to vendors, review of budget versus actual expenditure, monitoring of audit trail to see if beneficiary was changed, daily statement download for reconciliation, and restriction of functions for example a employee that issues checks should not also reconcile bank statement.
Explanation:
Check tampering is a very common fraud that involves changing the beneficiary of a valid check so that funds can be diverted.
In the given scenario the accounts payable clerk was able to change checks to his name in order to divert $10,000. This was only discovered by chance when an employee noticed the change in name.
Various internal control measures can be taken to prevent this and they are listed above

For August 2014, Dunn had the following standards for one of its products, a wicker chair:The following data were compiled regarding actual performance: actual output units (chairs) produced, 2,000; square yards of input purchased and used, 3,700; price per square yard, $5.10; direct manufacturing labor costs, $8,820; actual hours of input, 900; labor price per hour, $9.80.Required:1. Show computations of price and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Give a plausible explanation of why each variance occurred.2. Suppose 6,000 square yards of materials were purchased (at $5.10 per square yard), even though only 3,700 square yards were used. Suppose further that variances are identified at their most timely control point; accordingly, direct materials price variances are isolated and traced at the time of purchase to the purchasing department rather than to the production department. Compute the price and efficiency variances under this approach.
Answer:
Please see answers below
Explanation:
1. Material price variance = AQ [ AP - SP]
= [ $5.10 - $5.0] × 3,700
= $370 (U)
Material efficiency variance = [AQ - SQ] × SP
= [3,700 - 2,000*2] × $5.0
= - $1,500 (F)
Flexible variance budget variance = Material price variance + Material efficiency variance
= $370(U) + -$1,500(F)
= -$1,130(F)
Reasons for unfavorable price variance
• When the purchase manager is not too skillful at buying materials needed for production
• When there is an unexpected increase in price of materials
Reasons for favorable efficiency variance
• Usage of high quality material
• Skilled labourers use less materials than budgeted
Direct labor rate variance = [AR - SR] × AH
= [$9.80 - $10] × 900
= -$180 (F)
Direct labor efficiency variance = [AH - SH] × SR
= [900 - 2,000*0.5] × $10
= -$1,000(F)
Flexible budget variance = Direct labor rate variance + Direct labor efficiency variance
= -$180(F) + -$1,000(F)
= -$1,180
Reasons for favorable rate variance
• When there is reduction in labor rate due to recession in an economy
• When more of semi skilled or unskilled labor are employed.
Reasons for favorable efficiency variance
• Usage of high quality raw materials
• When plant facilities are restructured, it means that labor would be more effective.
2. Material price variance = [$AP - SP] × AQ
= [$5.10 - $5.0] × 6,000
= $600(F)
Material efficiency variance = [AQ - SQ] × SP
= [6,000 - 2,000 × 0.5] × $5.0
= $25,000(F)
Toil & Oil processes crude oil to jointly produce gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. One batch produces 3,415 gallons of gasoline, 2,732 gallons of diesel, and 1,366 gallons of kerosene at a joint cost of $12,000. After the split-off point, all products are processed further, but the estimated market price for each product at the split-off point is as follows:
Gasoline $2 per gallon
Diesel 1 per gallon
Kerosene 3 per gallon
Using the market value at split-off method, allocate the $12,000 joint cost of production to each product.
Joint Product Allocation
Gasoline $
Diesel
Kerosene
Totals $
Answer: See attachment
Explanation:
Allocation rate was calculated as:
Gasoline: 6830/13660 × 100 = 50%
Diesel: 2732/13660 × 100 = 20%
Kerosene: 1366/13660 × 100 = 30%
Cost to be allocated:
Gasoline = 50% × $12000 = $6000
Diesel: 20% × $12000 = $2400
Kerosene: 30% × $12000 = $3600

Gilbert is considering purchasing the Side Steamer 3000, a higher-end steamer, which costs $12,000, and has an estimated useful life of 6 years with an estimated salvage value of $1,200. This steamer falls into the MACRS 5-years class, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. The new steamer is faster and would allow for an output expansion, so sales would rise by $2,000 per year; even so, the new machine's much greater efficiency would reduce operating expenses by $1,400 per year. To support the greater sales, the new machine would require that inventories increase by $2,900, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $700. Gilbert's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%, and its WACC is 12%.
a. Should it replace the old steamer?b. NPV of replace = $2,083.51
SHOW WORK HOW TO GET THIS ANSWER
Answer:
Explanation:
initial outlay $12,000 + ($2,900 - $700) = $14,200
depreciable value = $10,800
depreciation per year:
$2,160$3,456$2,073.60$1,244.16$1,244.16$622.08incremental revenues = $2,000 + $1,400 = $3,400
CF year 0 = -$14,200
CF year 1 = [($3,400 - $2,160) x 0.6] + $2,160 = $2,904
CF year 2 = [($3,400 - $3,456) x 0.6] + $3,456 = $3,422.40
CF year 3 = [($3,400 - $2,073.60) x 0.6] + $2,073.60 = $2,869.44
CF year 4 = [($3,400 - $1,244.16) x 0.6] + $1,244.16 = $2,537.66
CF year 5 = [($3,400 - $1,244.16) x 0.6] + $1,244.16 = $2,537.66
CF year 6 = [($3,400 - $622.08) x 0.6] + $622.08 + $1,200 + $2,200 = $5,688.83
WACC = 12%
a) the steamer should not be replaced, since the NPV is negative.
b) Using a financial calculator, NPV = -$14,200 + $13,298.29 = -$901.71

Answer:
no
Explanation:
In recent years, a number of cities have passed taxes on carbonated sodas to help reduce obesity and to raise tax revenues. An article in the New York Times observes that: "With that public momentum, a soda tax may be coming to a city near you. Source: Anahad O'Connor and Margot Sanger-Katznov, "As Soda Taxes Gain Wider Acceptance, Your Bottle May Be Next," New York Times, November 26, 2016 If this forecast is correct, is the demand for premium bottled water Ekely to increase or decrease? Briefly explain
A. Decrease, because premium bottled water and carbonated sodas are complements.
B· Increase, because premium bottled water and carbonated sodas are substitutes.
C. Increase, because premium bottled water and carbonated sodas are complements.
D. Decrease, because premium bottled water and carbonated sodas are substitutes.
Answer:
Option B. Increase, because premium bottled water and carbonated sodas are substitutes.
Explanation:
The compliments are used together no apart. The example includes Tennis Balls and Rackets, automobile and petrol, etc. It means that they are compulsory for each other and their existence is dependent on the other. No one will buy tennis rackets if they don't have access to tennis ball.
On the other hand, substitute means that you have an alternative thing which will fulfill you needs. If the weather is hot and you don't have access to cold drinks then you can drink juice or cold water. Substitute fulfills our desires if we can't access the desired items.
Now coming back to question, the tax on carbonated water will increase the price of Soda which means its demand will decrease and people try substitutes. The substitute is either water or juice. If the coffee is 5 times expensive than tea then you will choose tea not coffee. Hence the demand of bottled water and juices will go up.
Hence the option B is correct here.
A commodity’s demand causes its price to go up.

Explanation:
The US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can be measured using the expenditure approach: Y = C + I + G + (X – M). This expenditure approach calculates GDP by evaluating the sum of all final goods and services purchased in the US economy. The components of the US GDP identified as “Y” in equation form include Consumption (C), Investment (I), Government Spending (G), and Net Exports (X – M) with X as exports and M as imports.
