Explanation:
A tax is a compulsory sum levied on goods and services by the government. Taxes increases the price of goods
Tax = amount consumers pay - amount producers receive
$6 - $3 = $3
Tax paid by consumers = Price after tax - tax before tax
$6 - $5 = $1
Amount received by producers = tax - tax paid by consumers
$3 - $1 = $2

Consider two perfectly negatively correlated risky securities, A and B. Security A has an expected rate of return of 12% and a standard deviation of return of 17%. B has an expected rate of return of 9% and a standard deviation of return of 14%.
Required:
a. What are the weights of A and B in the global minimum variance portfolio respectively?
b. What is the rate of return on the risk-free portfolio that can be formed with the two securities ?
Answer:
A) Weight of Security A = 0.45
Weight of Security B = 0.55
B)Risk free rate = 10.35%
Explanation:
We are given;
A) Expected rate of return for Security A; ERR = 12%
Standard deviation of return for Security A; SD = 17%
Expected rate of return for Security B; ERR = 9%
Standard deviation of return for Security B; SD = 14%
Now, formula for weight of Security A is;
Weight of security A = SD of security B ÷ (SD of security B + SD of security A)
Weight of Security A = 14%/(14% + 17%)
Weight of Security A ≈ 0.45
Weight of Security B = 1 - weight of Security A
Weight of Security B = 1 - 0.45
Weight of Security B = 0.55
B) Formula for the risk free rate is;
Risk free rate = (weight of Security A × ERR of security A) + (weight of Security B × ERR of security B)
Risk free rate = (0.45 × 12%) + (0.55 × 9%)
Risk free rate = 10.35%

The Finishing Department had 6,800 incomplete units in its beginning Work-in-Process Inventory which were 100% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs. 18,600 units were received from the previous department. The ending Work-in-Process Inventory consisted of 3,800 units which were 50% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs. The Finishing Department uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing. How many units were started and completed during the period
Answer:
14,800 units
Explanation:
To understand units started and completed principle, ask yourself, "Out of the units Started during the year, how many units were Completed?"
Since we are using FIFO the units in Inventory will be worked on first followed by the units introduced in process during the year.
So this can be calculated out of units completed as follows :
Units started and completed = Units Started - Units in Ending Work in Process
therefore,
Units started and completed = 18,600 - 3,800 = 14,800 units
Conclusion :
Units started and completed during the period were 14,800 units.
A public good rev: 04_09_2018 Multiple Choice generally results in substantial negative externalities. can never be provided by a nongovernmental organization. costs essentially nothing to produce and is thus provided by the government at a zero price. cannot be provided to one person without making it available to others as well.
Answer:
cannot be provided to one person without making it available to others as well.
Explanation:
A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous. It cannot be provided to one person without making it available to others as well. If one person is using it, it does not stop other people from using it also. An example of a public good is roads.
Public goods contrasts with club goods and private goods
A club good is a type of public good. It is excludable but non-rivalrous. For example paid streaming services are an example of a club good. Those who do not subscribe are excluded from using the service. But all subscribers have equal assess to the service
A private good is a good that is excludable and rivalrous.e.g. a privately owned car
A purely domestic firm that sources and sells only domestically, Multiple Choice should never hedge since this could actually increase its currency exposure. faces no exchange rate risk and should never hedge since this could actually increase its currency exposure. faces no exchange rate risk. faces exchange rate risk to the extent that it has international competitors in the domestic market.
Answer:
faces exchange rate risk to the extent that it has international competitors in the domestic market.
Explanation:
Exchange rate risk is defined as the risk that exists when a company engaged in transactions that are denominated in a foreign currency rather than the domestic currency.
So if a purely domestic firm that sources and sells only domestically has international competitors in its local market, and the exchange rate is favouring the competitors there will be a risk for them.
For example if international competitors can source raw materials cheaper because of the exchange rate of a foreign country, it will be a disadvantage to local firms that cannot reduce their prices.
Muscat Sayarati Co. uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on labor-hours . The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $525,000, variable manufacturing overhead of $6.00 per labor -hour, and 35,000 abor-hours. The job sheet of Job G828 shows that the number of units in this job order is 45 units which incurred total of 90 labor-hours. This job consumed \$14/unit of direct materials cost and \$64/unit of direct labor costs. What would be the ?total cost for Job G828 approximately
Answer:
$810
Explanation:
Calculation to determine cost for Job G828
Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost = $525,000 + ($6.00× 35,000) = 315,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $315,000 ÷ 35,000 = $9
Overhead applied to a particular job = $9×90 = $810.
Madison Corporation's production cycle starts in the Processing Department. The following information is available for April: Units Work-in-process, April 1 (25% complete) 50,000 Total units in process during April 290,000 Work-in-process, April 30 (60% complete) 30,000 Materials are added at the beginning of the process in the Processing Department. What are the equivalent units of production for the month of April, assuming Madison uses the weighted-average method
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 278,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total units in process during April 290,000
Work-in-process, April 30 (60% complete) 30,000
The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.
To calculate the equivalent units, we need to use the following formula:
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= (290,000 - 30,000) + 30,000*0.6
Equivalent units of production= 278,000
Cora purchased a hotel building on May 17, 2020, for $3,000,000. Determine the cost recovery deduction for 2021. a.$76,920 b.$69,000 c.$48,150 d.$59,520
Answer: $76920
Explanation:
Firstly, we should note that the hotel building is simply non residential and then qualifies to be part of 39 year property.
Then, the cost of recovery will be:
= 1/39 × Cost of the hotel
= 1/39 × $3,000,000
= $76,920
Therefore, the cost recovery deduction for 2021 is $76,920
Canoe Company's manufacturing accounting system uses direct labor costs to apply overhead to goods in process and finished goods inventories. Canoe Company's manufacturing costs for the year were: direct labor, $30,000; direct materials, $50,000; and factory overhead applied, $6,000. The plant-wide overhead application rate was:
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $0.2 per direct labor dollar
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor, $30,000
Factory overhead applied $6,000.
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
6,000= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*30,000
6,000 / 30,000 = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $0.2 per direct labor dollar
Large Stock Dividend and Forward Stock Split Low Corporation has 50,000 shares of $40 par value common stock outstanding and retained earnings of $1,500,000. The company declares a 100 percent stock dividend. The market price at the declaration date is $40 per share. a. Prepare the journal entries for (1) the declaration of the dividend and (2) the issuance of the dividend.
Answer:
Part 1
Debit : Dividends $50,000
Credit : Shareholders for dividends $50,000
Part 2
Debit : Shareholders for dividends $50,000
Credit : Cash $50,000
Explanation:
When dividends are declared and not paid, raise a Liability - Shareholders for Dividends to depict the Company`s Present obligation to its shareholders.
When dividends are issued, derecognize the liability - Shareholders for Dividends and recognize a Cash outflow to depict the outflow of cash resources as a result of the distribution.
Dividends Calculation :
Dividends = 50,000 shares x 100% = $50,000
Suppose a stock had an initial price of $85 per share, paid a dividend of $1.50 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $99. a. Compute the percentage total return. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What was the dividend yield
Answer:
18.23%
1.76%
Explanation:
The total return of a stock = price return + dividend yield
Price return calculates the change in price of a stock
Price return = (change in price / initial stock price ) x 100
change in price = $99 - $85 = $14
($14 / $85) x 100 = 16.47%
Dividend yield = (dividend paid / initial price of the stock ) x 100
($1.5 / $85) x 100 = 1.76%
Total return = 16.47% + 1.76% = 18.23%
Suppose Dr. Chu decided to open a donuts shop call Dr. Donuts. Dr. Chu is able to source flours at $2 per pound (making 40 donuts), sugars at $5 per pound (making 100 donuts), and butter at $1 per pound (making 100 donuts) While the donuts are not very tasty, Dr. Chu believes he can sell a lot of them by pricing them at $0.36 per donuts. Assuming his rent is $1800 per month, corporate tax of $100 per month, and draws a salary of $200 a day (use 30 days in a month), how many donuts must Dr. Chu sell in a month to break-even.
Answer:
31,600 donuts
Explanation:
Break even point is the level of activity where a company makes neither a profit nor a loss.
Break even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Contribution per unit = Sales per unit - Variable Costs per unit
Step 1 : Sales per donut
Sales per donut = $0.36
Step 2 : Variable Cost per Donut
Variable Cost per Donut :
Flours ($2 ÷ 40) $0.05
Sugars ($5 ÷ 100) $0.05
Butter ($1 ÷ 100) $0.01
Total $0.11
Step 3 : Fixed cost per month
Rent $1,800
corporate tax $100
Salary ($200 x 30) $6,000
Total $7,900
therefore,
Break even point = $7,900 ÷ ($0.36 - $0.11)
= 31,600 donuts
Conclusion :
Dr. Chu sell 31,600 donuts in a month to break-even.

December 31, 2019 Ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO=$96,154* $1
December 31, 2019 Ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO= $96,154
Therefore the ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO at December 31, 2019 will be $96,154
Your retirement fund consists of a $7,500 investment in each of 20 different common stocks. The portfolio's beta is 0.65. Suppose you sell one of the stocks with a beta of 1.0 for $7,500 and use the proceeds to buy another stock whose beta is 2.25. Calculate your portfolio's new beta. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
0.7125
Explanation:
Calculation to determine your portfolio's new beta.
First step is to calculate the Increase in beta as a result of net sales
Increase in beta as a result of net sales=2.25-1
Increase in beta as a result of net sales=1.25
Hence:
increase/stock=1.25/20=0.0625
Now let calculate the new beta
New beta=0.65+0.0625
New beta=0.7125
Therefore your portfolio's new beta will be 0.7125

1. Evaluate the situation that Mason and Shepherd find themselves in with respect to their existing employers. What are the legal and ethical issues raised
Answer:
The answer is provided in two separate headings for Mason and Shepherd with regard to the issues faced by them and how to handle them.
Explanation:
Mason
Mason's goal is start a venture by utilising the information received from the company she has worked for. This could lead to the violation of the agreement with her employer with regard to Non-competition, Non-disclosure and Development provisions.
So to tackle this situation she needs to first of all prove that the business is not a competitor of ATS. Moreover, she must refrain from coming into contact of the current customers of ATS. Finally, data kept in her office computer on the details of the new venture is currently under the ownership of ATS. Therefore, she should removed that data. Other than that she could negotiate with ATS with the help of a legal consultant.
Shepherd
Shepherd has signed an agreement with NOVA, where he is being bound to disclose all the inventions he has worked on so far. This problem is more likely on the intellectual property law.
To resolve this issue he could own his inventions by way of patent the translate engines as early as possible. While the process may take some years, it will be protected from NOVA as it would in pending status.
How can life expectancy and literacy rates affect the quality of labor in the economy?
Explanation:
Life expectancy and literacy rates can affect the quality of labor in the economy because if citizens are literate, they are educated and likely have white-collar jobs. Citizens who are illiterate likely have more manual labor jobs.A nation with lower fertility rates will usually have less people, and scarce resources will take longer to run out
Suppose that a worker in Radioland can produce either 5 radios or 1 television per year, and a worker in Teeveeland can produce either 1 radios or 5 televisions per year. Each nation has 100 workers. Also, suppose that each country completely specializes in producing the good in which it has a comparative advantage. If Radioland trades 50 radios to Teeveeland in exchange for 50 televisions each year, then each country's maximum consumption of new radios and televisions per year will be
Answer:
450 radios 50 televisions in radioland and 50 radios 450 televisions in Teeveeland.
Explanation:
In radioland 5 radios are equivalent to one television. Then 1 radio will be equivalent to 0.2 of television. The opportunity cost for each radio is 0.2. In teeveeland the cost of 1 radio is 5 televisions. Hence radioland has comparative advantage in producing radios and Teeveeland has comparative advantage is producing televisions.
The Buck Store is considering a project that will require additional inventory of $216,000 and will increase accounts payable by $181,000. Accounts receivable are currently $525,000 and are expected to increase by 9 percent if this project is accepted. What is the project's initial cash flow for net working capital
Answer:
$607,250 outflow
Explanation:
Net Working Capital is the amount of money needed to maintain operations on a day to day basis.
Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
where,
Current Assets are calculated as :
Inventory $216,000
Accounts Receivable ($525,000 x 1.09) $575,250
Total $788,250
and
Current Liabilities = $181,000
therefore,
Net Working Capital = $788,250 - $181,000 = $607,250
Conclusion
The project's initial cash flow for net working capital is $607,250 outflow.
On January 1, Year 1, Canseco Plumbing Fixtures purchased equipment for $52,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated four-year service life is expected to be $4,000. The company uses the straight-line method. For how much would each item below be reported at the end of Year 2?
Answer:
Reported for Year 2 will be :
Depreciation Expense = $12,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $24,000
Book Value = $28,000
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation for the period that the asset is in use in the business.
Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life
therefore,
Depreciation Charge = ($52,000 - $4,000) ÷ 4
= $12,000
we know that,
Accumulated depreciation = Sum of all depreciation to date
and
Book Value is the Costs less Accumulated depreciation
thus,
Balances for the Next 2 years will be as follows
Year 1
Depreciation Expense = $12,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $12,000
Book Value = $40,000
Year 2
Depreciation Expense = $12,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $24,000
Book Value = $28,000

National Dog Week is a dog food manufacturing factory. Suppose the theoretical capacity for the factory is 25,000 pounds/month. A consultant was brought in to determine their average monthly resource utilization. After extensive analysis, the effective capacity averages 20,000 pounds/month. Therefore, the average safety capacity of the factory is _______ pounds/month.
Answer:
National Dog Week
herefore, the average safety capacity of the factory is __5,000__ pounds/month.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculation:
Theoretical capacity for the factory = 25,000
Effective capacity for the factory = 20,000
Safety capacity for the factory = 5,000
b) The safety capacity of National Dog Week describes the factory's capacity that is not being put to use currently but can be called to use when demand requires it. It is the difference between the factory total usable capacity and the effective currently being used capacity.
The campaign manager for a doomed candidate is considering which states to visit during the last frenzied campaign week leading up to the nationwide election. Pennsylvania (P), Wisconsin (W), Florida (F), New York (Y), and North Carolina (C) are all aching for one last visit, but the candidate has only 80 hours and $250 million left in her campaign fund. A visit to Pennsylvania takes 10 hours and costs $15 million but earns 1% of the electorate. A visit to Wisconsin takes 15 hours and costs $20 million and earns 1.5%; a visit to Florida is only $8 million but takes 16 hours and earns 2%, and a visit to New York costs $25 million, requires 2 hours and earns 2% of the electorate. North Carolina requires 18 hours and $22 million per trip but earns 3% of the electorate. What is the objective function if the campaign manager wants to earn the highest electorate
Answer: maximize P + 1.5W + 2F + 2Y + 3C
Explanation:
The objective function refers to an equation that is used in describing the target of production output which maximizes profits.
The objective function is used to determine the profitability of a business as profits are maximized while losses are minimized.
The objective function if the campaign manager wants to earn the highest electorate will be to maximize P + 1.5W + 2F + 2Y + 3C
g You are looking for a dividend security to provide yourself with additional steady income. You have found a company with an expected dividend next year of $1.20. You have done an analysis on the company's past dividends and the dividend amount has increased at a constant rate of 3.4 percent for the last eight years and you have no expectation of a change in growth rate. If you require a 9 percent rate of return on your investments, what should you be willing to pay today for the stock
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Expected dividend, D1 = $1.20
Required rate of return, r = 9%
Growth rate = 3.4%
Then, the formula to get the price will be:
= D1/(r-g)
= 1.2/(9%-3.4%)
= 1.2/5.6%
= $21.4
The amount to pay due the stock is less than $24.00
