Answer: $4180
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that Chris purchases a living room furniture set for $4,345 and has a one-year, no interest, no money down, deferred payment plan. We are further told that She he made a $15 monthly payment for the first 11 months.
The total amount paid for the first 11 months will be:
= $15 × 11
= $165
Since he has to pay the total amount for 12 months, the amount that Chris will pay in the last month of this plan will be:
= $4345 - $165
= $4180
Comparing with unemployment rate with employment rate, which of the following is NOT correct? a. Unemployment rate takes the group of "out of labor force" into account. b. Compared with unemployment rate, employment rate is better because it concerns the hidden unemployment in the out of labor force group. c. Compared with employment rate, unemployment rate in a labor market usually has a larger variation. d. It has limitation because some policy shocks unrelated to unemployment or labor market situation such changes in fertility and school enrollment rates, will affect the number of the employment rate as well.
Answer:
b. Compared with unemployment rate, employment rate is better because it concerns the hidden unemployment in the out of labor force group.
Explanation:
Remember, the employment rate is used to determine the degree to which the labor force (people willing to work) in a particular economy are able to find work.
Hence, it does not concern itself or takes into account the hidden unemployment in the out of the labor force group, but only those people willing to work are considered.

Answer:
$1,164
Explanation:
Calculation for the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense
Bad Debt Expense= (10,000 * 0.07) + (1,600 * 0.15) + (1,300 * 0.48) =
Bad Debt Expense=700+240+624
Bad Debt Expense=1,564 -400
Bad Debt Expense=$1,164
Therefore the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense will be $1,164
If the price elasticity of demand for used cars priced between $4,000 and $6,000 is -0.9 (using the mid-point method), what will be the percent change in quantity demanded when the price of a used car falls from $6,000 to $4,000
Answer: 36% increase in quantity demanded.
Explanation:
Price Elasticity shows the change in quantity demanded when there is a change in price.
Change in Quantity demanded = Price elasticity * Change in price.
Change in price using midpoint formula;
[tex]= \frac{New price - Old Price}{\frac{New Price + Old Price }{2} } \\\\= \frac{4,000 - 6,000}{\frac{4,000 + 6,000 }{2} } \\\\= \frac{-2,000}{5,000} \\\\= -0.4[/tex]
Change in Quantity demanded = -0.9 * -0.4
= 0.36
= 36% increase
When the price of THE used car falls from $6,000 to $4,000, the percent change in quantity demanded will be 36% increase.
Explanation:
Price Elasticity basically shows the change in quantity demanded when there is a change in price.
The formula for Change in Quantity demanded = Price elasticity * Change in price.
Change in price using midpoint formula = New price - Old price / (New price - Old price / 2)
Change in price using midpoint formula = 4000 - 6000 / (4000 - 6000/ 2)
Change in price using midpoint formula = -0.4
Change in Quantity demanded = -0.9 * -0.4
Change in Quantity demanded = 0.36
Change in Quantity demanded = 36% increase
In conclusion, the percent change in quantity demanded will be 36% increase.

a. $24,477.81
b. $24,948.54
c. $23,536.36
d. $24,007.09
Answer:
1. a. 4.081%
2. c. $23,536.36
Explanation:
1. Periodic rate=(4.4%/4) = 1.1%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
= (1+0.044/4)^4-1
= 1.011^4 - 1
= 1.04473133864 - 1
= 0.04473133864
= 4.47%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
=(1+0.04/365)^365-1
= (1+0.00010958904)^365 - 1
= 1.00010958904^365 - 1
= 1.04080849272 - 1
= 0.04080849272
= 4.081%
2. A=P(1+r/365)^365*n
where A=future value, P=present value, r=rate of interest, n=time period.
= 22000*(1+9%/365)^(9/12*365)
= $23,536.36

a. Consumption schedule The variable on the vertical (y) axis is (Click to select) and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is (Click to select) . These variables are (Click to select) related. b. Saving schedule The variable on the vertical (y) axis is (Click to select) and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is (Click to select) . These variables are (Click to select) related. c. What is the fundamental reason that the levels of consumption and saving in the United States are each higher today than they were a decade ago
Answer:
a. Consumption schedule
The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Consumption and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .
These variables are directly related.
On the Consumption schedule, the variables on the y axis are the different levels of consumption whilst the variables on the x are amounts of disposable income.
Consumption and disposable income are directly related because when the amount of disposable income increases, the amount that consumers can spend will increase as well as it comes from the disposable income that a consumer has.
b. Saving schedule
The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Saving and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .
These variables are directly related.
On the Saving schedule the x axis which is for the independent variable is the Disposable income whilst the dependent variable on the y axis is for Savings.
Savings and Disposable income are directly relate because when a person has more money after taxes (disposable income), they will be able to save more money.
c. Real GDP and disposable income are higher.
The Real GDP of the United States as well as disposable income have increased over the past decade which means that people are able to both consume and save more s shown above.
ACE Co. stock is not paying a dividend today, but has announced it will start paying a dividend in year 4 of $2.00 per share, and that will increase 5% per year forever. What is an estimate of the price of the stock today if r
Answer:
$77.22
Explanation:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar question and found that Re = 9%
Div₀ = 0
Div₁ = 0
Div₂ = 0
Div₃ = 0
Div₄ = $2
the terminal value at year 3 = Div₄ / (Re - g) = $4 / (9% - 5%) = $100
in order to determine the current stock price we must discount $100 by 9% for 3 periods = $100 / 1.09³ = $77.22
Social Media, Inc. (SMI) has two services for users. Toot!, which connects tutors with students who are looking for tutoring services, and TiX, which can be used to buy, sell, or exchange event tickets. For the following year, SMI expects the following results. Toot! TiX Total Users 17,900 24,100 42,000 Revenues $ 2,200,000 $ 2,400,000 $ 4,600,000 Engineering hours 11,500 9,500 21,000 Engineering cost $ 1,096,250 $ 1,213,750 $ 2,310,000 Administrative costs $ 1,848,000 Required: a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate used to apply administrative costs to the two services assuming SMI uses the number of users to allocate administrative costs. b. Based on the rates computed in requirement (a), what is the profit for each service
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Toot! TiX Total
Users 17,900 24,100 42,000
Administrative costs $ 1,848,000
We need to allocate administrative costs to each product. First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,848,000/42,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $44 per user
Now, we allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Toot!= 44*17,900= 787,600
TiX= 44*24,100= 1,060,400
Finally, the gross profit for each service:
Toot!:
Revenue= 2,200,000
Engineering cost= (1,096,250)
Administrative cost= (787,600)
Profit= $316,150
TiX:
Revenues= 2,400,000
Engineering cost= (1,213,750)
Administrative cost= (1,060,400)
Profit= $125,850

Suppose you won a $77,000 after-tax cash prize in the lottery. You want to start a new business that you think will lose money for a while, after which it will be up and running and bringing in big bucks. You plan to invest the funds immediately in securities that are expected to earn 8% per year. Suppose you would need only $19,000 per year during the start-up period. How long could you operate before you would require cash from the new business, i.e., how long could you receive payments of $19,000 per year? The first withdrawal will be made a year from today, and your answer will contain a fraction of a year.
Answer:
The right solution is "5.09 years".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Lottery amount
= $77,000
Withdrawal
= $19,000
Rate
= 8%
The number of withdrawal will be:
⇒ [tex]NPER(Rate,-withdrawal,lottery \ amount)[/tex]
On putting the values, we get
⇒ [tex]NPER(8 \ percent,-19000,77000)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]5.09 \ years[/tex]
In order to accurately assess the capital structure of a firm, it is necessary to convert its balance sheet figures to a market value basis. KJM Corporation's balance sheet as of today is as follows: Long-term debt (bonds, at par) $10,000,000 Preferred stock 2,000,000 Common stock ($10 par) 10,000,000 Retained earnings 4,000,000 Total debt and equity $26,000,000 The bonds have a 4.0% coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature exactly 10 years from today. The yield to maturity is 12%, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the current market value of the firm's debt
Answer:
$5,412,000
Explanation:
The semi annual interest = $20
Periods (n) till maturity are 10*2 = 20
Discounting rate is 12%/2 = 6%
Principal amount is $1,000
Market Value = 20 * PVIFA (20,6%) + 1,000 * PVIF (20,6%)
Market Value = 20 * 11.4699 + 1,000 * 0.3118
Market Value = 229.398 + 311.8
Market Value = 541.198
Market value = $541.20
Number of bonds = 10,000,000/1,000
Number of bonds = 10,000
Current market value = Number of bonds * Market value
Current market value = 10,000 * 541.20
Current market value = $5,412,000

A semiannual coupon bond with face value of $1,000 has a coupon rate of 6% and matures in 16 years. The market-determined discount rate on this bond is 14%. What is the price of the bond?
Answer:
$1,125.30
Explanation:
The Price of the Bond is its Current/Trading price also known as the Present Value (PV). This is determined as follows :
Fv = $1,000
Pmt = $1,000 × 6% = $160
P/yr = 1
n = 16
i = 14%
PV = ?
Using the Financial calculator to enter the values as above, the Pv is $1,125.30.
Thus, the price of the bond is $1,125.30.
If there was a 24% chance of having a contract signed to purchase a home in any one month and there were 55 homes on the market, what would be the probability that exactly 15 of them would have a contract signed during this month?
a. 10.3%
b. 24.0%
c. 66.7%
d. 23.0%
Answer:
a. 10.3%
Explanation:
P∝F of Binomial distribution is given as Pr.(x=x) = nCxP^x(1-p)^(n-x)
P = 0.24, n= 55, x =15 Note: C = Combination
Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)(55-15)
Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)^40
Pr.(x = 15) = 0.1026
Pr.(x = 15) = 10.26%
Pr.(x = 15) = 10.3%
You and your best friend watch the same television commercial together. You think that thespokesperson in the ad is quite humorous. Your friend thinks that the spokesperson is just plain stupid. This is an example of:
Answer:
the creation of different meanings based on social and cultural context.
Explanation:
In our daily interactions with others, we tend to come across people whose values are different from ours. The difference can be attributed to different cultural and social backgrounds. Culture is a people's way of life. This embraces their beliefs, values, religion.
When people have different values, they tend to see things differently. That can account for the reason why a friend would view an ad as humorous, while another would view it as plain stupid.
A customer buys 1 XYZ Dec 30 call at 7 and sells 1 XYZ Dec 40 call at 1. Two months later, if the customer closes the positions when the spread is trading at 9 points, the customer has
Answer:
Gain of $300
Explanation:

Lake Sales had $2,200,000 in sales last month. The contribution margin ratio was 30% and operating profits were $180,000. What is Lake's break-even sales volume
Answer:
$1,600,000
Explanation:
Sales
$2,200,000
Contribution margin ratio
30%
$660,000
Sales $2,200,000
Contribution margin $660,000
Operating profit $180,000
Fixed cost = Contribution margin - Operating profit
= $660,000 - $180,000
= $480,000
Break even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
= $480,000 / 30%
= $1,600,000
Therefore, Lake's break even sales volume is $1,600,000

Hence, all other options are incorrect
What is the present value of the following cash-flow stream if the interest rate is 5%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Year Cash Flow
1 $250
2 450
3 350
Answer:
Total PV= $948.6
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Year Cash Flow
1 $250
2 450
3 350
Interest rate= 5%
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV = Cf/(1+i)^n
PV1= 250/1.05= 238.1
PV2= 450/1.05^2= 408.16
PV3= 350/1.05^3= 302.34
Total PV= $948.6
Bean Brewers, Inc., a manufacturer of coffee makers, had the following activities, allocated costs, and allocation bases: Activities Allocated Costs Allocation Base Account inquiry (hours) hours Account billing (lines) lines Account verification (accounts) accounts Correspondence (letters) letters The above activities are carried out at two of its regional offices. Activities Northeast Office Midwest Office Account inquiry (hours) hours hours Account billing (lines) lines lines Account verification (accounts) accounts accounts Correspondence (letters) letters letters How much of the correspondence cost will be assigned to the Northeast Office? (Round any intermediate calculations to the nearest cent and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer: B. $438
Explanation:
Correspondence Cost = Number of letters * Predetermined cost of correspondence
Predetermined cost of correspondence = Allocated cost/ Allocated base
= 14,000/1,600 letters
= $8.75 per letter
Northeast Office used 50 letters for correspondence.
Cost = 8.75 * 50
= $437.50
= $438
Business-process outsourcing (BPO) is a type of outsourcing that consists of contracting operations and responsibilities of a specific business process to a third-party service provider. Such outsourcing generally began with manufacturing firms outsourcing their supply chain but has grown into a much wider range of processes, including marketing, finance, sales, and accounting. According to a recent Forbes article, the revenue of the global outsourced services industry rose from $45 billion in 2000 to nearly $100 billion in 2012. An article in BusinessWeek suggested that BPO can save end users anywhere from 15 to 85 percent. International BPO service providers are particularly attractive since offshore labor offers an additional 25 to 30 percent cost savings. Furthermore, approximately 25 percent of the cost savings results from BPO firms’ proprietary products. The remaining 10 to 30 percent in cost reduction accrues from consolidated operations. Suppose you are the manager of a U.S.-based company and must decide whether to outsource your human resources department. Based on the above information and your study, please outline arguments supporting and opposing a decision to outsource this function of your business. Please explain from a purely business standpoint, any issues that might arise from contracting with an international-based versus U.S.-based BPO service firm? (Chapter 6, page 199)
Answer:
From a purely business perspective, outsourcing is likely to be right choice for the company, because as the statistics shown in the question prove, outsourcing offers great reduction in costs for American businesses.
However, there are some issues that could arise. The human capital in the foreign target country may not be as high as in the US, for example, and an outsourcing process could result in costs reduction, but also in a loss of quality in the company's operations.
There is also the human issue: outsourcing would require the firing of those employees whose jobs will be replaced by the outsourcing.

Doreen has preferences represented by the utility function U(x, y) = 10x + 5y. She consumes 10 units of good x and 9 units of good y. If her consumption of good x is lowered to 1, how many units of y must she have in order to be exactly as well off as before?
Answer:
she must consume 11 units of good Y
Explanation:
Doreen's current utility = (10 x 10) + (5 x 9) = 145 utils
if she consumes only 9 goods of X, her utility will be:
90 + 5Y
the amount of good Y that makes both equations equal is:
90 + 5Y = 145
5Y = 55
Y = 55 / 5 = 11 units
You are thinking of opening a Broadway play, I Love You, You’re Mediocre, Now Get Better! It will cost $5 million to develop the show. There are 8 shows per week, and you project the show will run for 100 weeks. It costs $1000 to open the theater each night. Tickets sell for $50.00, and you earn an average of $1.50 profit per ticket holder from concessions. The theater holds 800, and you expect 80% of the seats to be full. a. Given your other assumptions, how many weeks will the play have to run for you to earn a 100%
Answer:
39 weeks
Explanation:
initial investment = $5 million
Your goal is to a better person and get rich by doubling your development costs. You want to earn $10 million in profits, so you will need to sell a lot of seats.
8 shows per week x 100 weeks = 800 shows
revenue per ticket = $50 + $1.50 = $51.50
tickets sold per show = 800 x 80% = 640
total revenue per show = 640 x $51.50 = $32,960
variable cost per show (assuming 7 nights per week) = $7,000 / 8 = $875
contribution margin per show = $32,960 - $875 = $32,085
number of shows needed to earn $10 million in profits = $10,000,000 / $32,085 = 311.67 shows
number of weeks = 311.67 / 8 = 38.96 ≈ 39 weeks
Bob has been investing $4,000 in stock at the end of every year for the past 8 years. If the account is currently worth $45,000, what was his annual return on this investment?a. 10.61%b. 10.91%c. 8.81%d. 9.55%e. 9.07%
Answer:
d. 9.55%
Explanation:
we can use the future value of an annuity formula to calculate Bob's annual return:
future value = annual contribution x FV annuity factor
future value = $45,000
annual contribution = $4,000
FV annuity factor = ?
FV annuity factor = future value / annual contribution = $45,000 / $4,000 = 11.25
FV annuity factor = [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1] / i
11.25 = [(1 + i)⁸ - 1] / i
11.25i = (1 + i)⁸ - 1
solving this problem is really complicated, but there is a much simple way to do it:
e) 11.25 x 0.0907 = (1 + 0.0907)⁸ - 1
1.020375 ≠ 1.0028
d) 11.25 x 0.0955 = (1 + 0.0955)⁸ - 1
1.0744 = 1.0744 ⇒ this option is correct
