Explanation:
To start with, I will list the 3 primary functions of money, which are;
store of value,
unit of account, and
medium of exchange.
Going by the above, I would say that 2 of the 4 options presented before us are money, why so?
A $100 bill is definitely money, no much explanation is needed here, because it's used daily as a means of exchange between people
2. Euro is not a form of money in the US. While it is a form of money in many other places, it's not in the US because it doesn't satisfy the "medium of exchange" criteria of function of money. Euro can not be spent in a store or anywhere in the country, without it having been first exchanged into dollars
3. Mona Lisa painting, part of the functions of money is to store value, and I believe very much, a painting is a good store of money in that regard.
4. American Express credit card is not a form of money because unlike money
being used essentially, to pay for goods and services directly, a credit card is more or less, a store of wealth that is lent by the bank
Based on the following information, calculate the cost of goods sold and ending inventory using FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average assuming a perpetual inventory system is in place.
Beginning Balance - 90 units at $11
March 3 - Purchase 300 units for $15
April 4 - Sell 240 units for $28
June 30 - Purchase 250 units for $18
August 16 - Sell 180 units for $30
Answer:
Cost of Sales :
FIFO = $ 6,030
LIFO = $6,840
Weighted Average = $6,354.60
Ending Inventory :
FIFO = $4,176
LIFO = $3,150
Weighted Average = $3,636.60
Explanation:
FIFO
This method assumes that the first inventory purchased will be the first to be sold
Cost of Goods Sold :
90 units × $11 = $990
150 units × $15 = $2,250
150 units × $15 = $2,250
30 units × $18 = $540
Total = $ 6,030
Ending Inventory :
232 units × $18 = $4,176
LIFO
This method assumes that the last inventory purchased, will be the last to be sold
Cost of Sales :
240 units × $15 = $3,600
180 units × $18 = $3,240
Total = $6,840
Ending Inventory :
90 units × $11 = $ 990
60 units × $15 = $ 900
70 units × $18 = $ 1,260
Total = $3,150
Weighted Average
A new average cost per unit is calculated with every purchase made.
New Average Cost = (90 units × $11 + 300 units × $15) ÷ 390 units
= $14.08
Cost of Sale , April 4 = 240 units × $14.08
= $3,379.20
New Average Cost = (150 units × $14.08 + 250 units × $18.00) ÷ 400 units
= $16.53
Cost of Sale, Aug 16 = 180 units × $16.53
= $2,975.40
Total Cost of Sales = $3,379.20 + $2,975.40
= $6,354.60
Ending Inventory = 220 units × $16.53
= $3,636.60
During the taking of its physical inventory on December 31, Barry's Bike Shop incorrectly counted its inventory as $204,505 instead of the correct amount of $166,687. The effect on the balance sheet and income statement would be:___________.
a. assets overstated by $37,818 retained earnings understated by $37.818, and not income statement understated by $37.818
b. assets overstated by $204,505; retained earnings understated by $166,687, and no effect on the income statement
c. assets, retained earnings, and net income all overstated by $37.818
d. assets and retained earnings overstated by $166,687; and net income understated by $204,505
Answer:
c. assets, retained earnings, and net income all overstated by $37.818
Explanation:
Given that
Inventory correct amount is $166,687
And, the Inventory wrongly recorded is $204,505
So
inventory was overstated by
= $204,505 - $166,687
= $37,818
As the ending inventory is overstated so the net income is also overstated and if the net income is overstated then the retained earnings would be overstated
hence, the correct option is c.
Synovec Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 25 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 4 percent thereafter. If the required return is 10 percent, and the company just paid a dividend of $2.95, what is the current share price
Answer:
P0 = $86.52419 rounded off to $86.52
Explanation:
Using the two stage growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula to calculate the price of the stock today is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n + [(D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
g1 is the initial growth rateg2 is the constant growth rate r is the required rate of returnP0 = 2.95* (1+0.25) / (1+0.1) + 2.95 * (1+0.25)^2 / (1+0.1)^2 +
2.95 * (1+0.25)^3 / (1+0.1)^3 +
[(2.95 * (1+0.25)^3 * (1+0.04) / (0.1 - 0.04)) / (1+0.1)^3]
P0 = $86.52419 rounded off to $86.52

Watters Umbrella Corp. issued 15-year binds two years ago at a coupon rate of 6.2 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 98 percent of par value, what is the YTM?
Answer:
YTM = 6.42%
Explanation:
current market value = $1,000 x 98% = $980
n = (15 - 2) x 2 = 26
coupon = $1,000 x 6.2% x 1/2 = $31
face value = $1,000
YTM = [coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = [31 + [(1,000 - 980)/26]} / [(1,000 + 980)/2]
YTM = (31 + 0.77) / 990 = 31.77 / 990 = 0.03209 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.641818 = 6.42%

What was the firm's ROE?
a. 12.79%
b. 13.47%
c. 14.18%
d. 14.88%
e. 15.63%
Answer:
ROE = 0.14175 or 14.175%
Explanation:
The DuPont equation to calculate ROE or return on equity breaks the ROE into three components namely Net Income or Net Profit margin, Total assets turnover and equity multiplier. This is used to see what factor are affecting the Return on Equity generated by the business. ROE under DuPont can be calculated as follows,
ROE = NI Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier
ROE = 0.0525 * 1.5 * 1.8
ROE = 0.14175 or 14.175%

The manager of a fashionable restaurant open Wednesday through Saturday says that the restaurant does about 26 percent of its business on Friday night, 34 percent on Saturday night, and 24 percent on Thursday night. What seasonal relatives would describe this situation?
Answer: See Explanation
Explanation:
The work done for each day is written below:
Thursday night = 24%
Friday night = 26%
Saturday night = 34%
Wednesday night = 100% - (24% + 26% + 34%) = 100% - 84% = 16%
Let's assume that sales in a week is represented by x. Therefore average sales in week if x = 1 will be 1/4 = 0.25.
Seasonal relative will be:
= Sales in a day /Average sales in a week
Wednesday = 16% / 0.25 = 0.16 / 0.25 = 0.64
Thursday = 24% / 0.25 = 0.96
Friday = 26% / 0.25 = 1.04
Saturday = 34% / .25 = 1.36

Answer: 19.93
Explanation:
The constant growth stock is $19.16. P = D/(r-g), where P is the current price, D is the next dividend to be paid, g is the expected dividend growth rate, and r is the required rate of return for the company.
What is a Constant growth rate?
A constant growth rate is defined as the average rate of return on investment over the time period required to achieve the total growth percentage that an investor seeks.
Given
Rate (r) = 10%
Growth (g) = 4%
Dividend (D) = $1.15
Required to calculate growth stock =?
growth stock P = D/(r-g)
growth stock = 1.15 / (10 - 4) = $19.16

Firm A issued a $1,000,000 bond with a 20-year term at a discount. If the remaining amount of the discount on bonds payable is $100,000 after 10 years and firm A retires the bond at this point at 110 (or for cash of $1,100,000), then what is the loss/gain on this bond retirement?
Answer:
Loss of $200,000
Explanation:
Carrying value of bond = $1,000,000 - $100,000
Carrying value of bond = $900,000
Cash paid on bonds = $1,100,000
Loss on bond = Cash paid on bonds - Carrying value of bond
Loss on bond = $1,100,000 - $900,000

If a company increases its prices from $2 to $2.20, and its sales fall from 5 million units to 4.5 million units, using the midpoint method, what is the price elasticity of demand for this market?
a. 1
b. 1.5
c. 2
d. 0.5
Answer:
-1.10526
Explanation:
The computation of the price elasticity of demand is shown below:
Price elasticity of demand is
= (Change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (Change in price ÷ average of price)
where,
q1 = 5
q2 = 4.5
p1 = $2
p2 = $2.2
So,
= {(4.5 - 5) ÷ (4.5 + 5) ÷ 2} ÷ {(2.2 - 2) ÷ (2.2 + 2) ÷ 2 }
= {-0.5 ÷ 4.75 } ÷ {0.2 ÷ 2.1 }
= -0.10526 ÷ 0.0952
= -1.10526
Allison Corp. has just issued nonconvertible preferred stock (cumulative) with a par value of $20 and an annual dividend rate of 4.25%. The preferred stock is currently selling for $18.75 per share. What is the annual yield or return (r) on this preferred stock
Answer:
4.5%
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual yield or return (r) on this preferred stock
Using this formula
PVper = PMT / r
Where,
PVper =$18.75
PMT =(4.25%*$20)=0.85
Let plug in the formula
$18.75 = 0.85 / r
r = 0.045*100
r= 4.5%
Therefore the annual yield or return (r) on this preferred stock will be 4.5%

Answer:
PI=103.67%
Explanation:
Calculation for PI
To calculate PI (PROFITABILITY INDEX) the first step is to calculate the NPV ( Net present value) using Financial calculator by following the below step
CF0= -$5,000
C01=$900
FO1=3years
CO2= $1,400
FO2=3 years
NPV=?
I=8%
The next step is to enter the down arrow Cpt
Hence,
NPV = $183.48
Since we have know the NPV Now let calculate the PI using this formula
PI=(NPV+Potential project)/Potential project
Let plug in the formula
PI= ($183.48+$5,000)/$5,000
PI=$5,183.48/$5,000
PI= 1.03669*100
PI=103.67%

A Reuter's article on March 14, 2012 reported that Somali pirates had decided to cut their ransom demands so as to avoid costly hostage maintenance and increase flow rate. The article says that on average the pirates were holding 30 ships hostage, and each ship was held for 150 days.How many ships on average are the pirates capturing each month? (Assume a month is 30 days)- 10 ships per month- 30 ships per month- 6 ships per month- 1/5 ships per month
Answer:
6 ships per month
Explanation:
30 ships are held for 150 days
[tex]30\ \text{ships}=150\ \text{days}[/tex]
[tex]1\ \text{day}=\dfrac{30}{150}\ \text{ships}[/tex]
[tex]1\ \text{day}=\dfrac{1}{5}\ \text{ships}[/tex]
[tex]30\ \text{days}=30\times \dfrac{1}{5}\ \text{ships}[/tex]
[tex]30\ \text{days}=6\ \text{ships}[/tex]
So, in a month 6 ships are captured.
