Answer:
$87,975
15.30
Explanation:
The computation of unit cost and total cost is shown below:-
Managers' salary ($22,000 + $6,450) $28,450
Rent $18,000
Depreciation on equipment $2,000
Other fixed cost (3,000 × 1.1) 3,300
Total Fixed cost $51,750
Total Cost = $36,225 + $51,750
= $87,975
Unit Cost = 87,975 ÷ 5,750
= 15.30
A bank estimates that their average balance on demand deposit accounts is $3,500, net of float. Each account costs the bank $250 per year in processing costs. The bank collects an average of $10 per month on each account in service charges. Assume reserve requirements are 10%. What is the net cost of an average demand deposit
Answer:
4.1%
Explanation:
Net cost of average demand deposit is computed as;
Net cost = (Non interest expense - Non interest income) / [Average balance × (1-RR)]
Annual non interest income= 12 × $10 = $120
Non interest expense = $250
Average balance = $3,500
RR = 10%
Therefore,
Net cost = ($250 - $120) / [$3,500 × (1-0.10)]
Net cost = $130 / $3,150
Net cost = 4.1%

So here you need to fire the old employees who are less effective and hire new employees who are enthusiastic that ultimately benefits the company
Therefore option a is correct
and the same is to be considered
A company, which is currently operating at full capacity, has sales of $2,480, current assets of $820, current liabilities of $510, net fixed assets of $1,670, and a 5 percent profit margin. The company has no long-term debt and does not plan on acquiring any. The company does not pay any dividends. Sales are expected to increase by 10 percent next year. If all assets, short-term liabilities, and costs vary directly with sales, how much additional equity financing is required for next year
Answer:
$61.60
Explanation:
Equity funding need = Projected assets - Projected liabilities - Current equity - Projected increase in retained earnings
Equity funding need = $2,739 - $561 - $1,980 - $136.40
Equity funding need = $61.60
Workings
Projected assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) * 1.10 = 820+1,670 * 1.10 = $2,739
Projected liabilities = Current liabilities * 1.10 = 510 * 1.10 = $561
Current equity = Current assets + Fixed assets - Current liabilities = 820 + 1,670 - 510 = $1,980
Projected increase in retained earnings = Sales*5% * 1.10 = $2,480*5% * 1.10 = 124*1.10 = $136.40
It is estimated that the net cash flows to be received from the copyright will be $63,000, and its fair value is $59,850. The accumulated amortization at the end of 2021 was $15,435. Compute the amount of impairment, if any, to be recorded on December 31, 2021. (If there is a loss on impairment, then enter amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
Answer:
The amount of the impairment = $3,150.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net cash flows = $63,000
Fair value of copyright = $59,850
Accumulated amortization = $15,435
Impairment gain = $3,150 ($63,000 - $59,850)
b) There is an impairment gain of $3,150 since the net cash flows is higher than the fair value of the copyright. Copyright is an intangible asset and impairment assessment must be conducted yearly.

If Tonya purchased 200 decorative pillows at $12 each and sold 75 of the pillows for $20 each, what is the cost of goods sold
Answer:
the cost of goods sold is $1,500
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold is
= Opening inventory + purchase - ending inventory
= $0 + 200 × $12 - (200 × $12 - 75 × $20)
= $ + $2,400 - ($2,400 - $1,500)
= $2,400 - $900
= $1,500
hence, the cost of goods sold is $1,500
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

Select all that apply What is the difference between an adjusted trial balance and an unadjusted trial balance? (Check all that apply.) Multiple select question. The adjusted trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances after adjusting entries have been posted. The unadjusted trial balance is more up to date and should be used to prepare financial statements. The adjusted trial balance is used to prepare financial statements. The adjusted trial balance generally has more accounts listed than the unadjusted trial balance.
Answer:
The adjusted trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances after adjusting entries have been posted.The adjusted trial balance is used to prepare financial statements. The adjusted trial balance generally has more accounts listed than the unadjusted trial balance.Explanation:
The Adjusted Trial balance lists the accounts that the company has at their ending balances which means that adjusting entries have been posted.
As a result of the Adjusted Trial Balance having final account balances, it is used to prepare the financial statements for the company as only final balances should be used in such.
More often than not, the Adjusted trial balance will have more accounts than the unadjusted balance because in process of adjustment, more accounts may be created for transactions that were not posted properly. For instance, there might be liability accounts for expenses if the expenses were not paid in the current period.

Answer:
Interest= $90
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $3,000
i= 3%
Number of periods= 1
First, we need to calculate the future value, using the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 3,000*1.03= $3,090
Now, the interest earned:
Interest= 3,090 - 3,000
Interest= $90
When a mentally challenged candidate is overlooked by a recruiter even though he possesses skills that are perfect for the job, which perceptual distortion is likely to be experienced by the recruiter?
a. Halo effect
b. Selective perception
c. Ability stereotypes
d. Projection
e. Self-fulfilling prophecy
The correct answer is C. Ability stereotypes
Explanation:
Ability stereotypes imply incorrect or inaccurate perceptions about people with different abilities including people with intellectual or cognitive disabilities or mentally challenged people. This often means people consider mentally challenged people unable to perform tasks, understand certain information, among others.
This type of stereotyping occurs in the situation presented because the recruiter is not considering a specific candidate because he/she is mentally challenged. However, this condition does not imply the candidate does not have the skills or qualities to be in this job. Indeed, this candidate can be more suitable than an individual with regular intellectual abilities.
Corporation A has the following returns for the past three years: 7 percent, 13 percent, and 10 percent. Assume each year return had the same probability (weights of 1/3 each). Calculate the expected return
Answer:
10.00%
Explanation:
The expected return is the weighted average of all the returns recorded thus far wherein the probability of each return occurring is used as the weight of each return as shown below:
Expected return=sum of (weight* value of return)
Expected return=(7%*1/3)+(13%*1/3)+(10%*1/3)
Expected return=0.023333333 +0.043333333 +0.033333333
Expected return=10.00%

stock that has a current price of $25.00, a beta of 1.25, and a dividend yield of 6%. If the Treasury bill yield is 5% and the market portfolio is expected to return 14%, what should MUSS’s stock sell for at the end of an investor's two year investment horizon?
Answer:
$30.2067
Explanation:
From the given question, using the dividend discount model
[tex]V_0 = \dfrac{D_1}{r - g}[/tex]
where:
r is the Expected return on stock and be calculated as:
Expected return on stock = Risk free rate + Beta × (Expected Market Return - Risk free rate)
Expected return on stock = 5% + 1.25 × (14% - 5%) = 16.25%
However, the current price in this process will b used as the dividend price for all future expenses.
Dividend Yield = Current Dividend/The Share Price
Current dividend D0 = 6% × $25.00 = $1.50
D₁ = D₀ × (1 + g)
D₁ = 1.5 × (1 + g)
Thus, we can now employ the use of the growth dividend model (constant) to determine the value of g as follows:
[tex]25 = \dfrac{1.5 \times (1 + g)}{0.1625 - g}[/tex]
By cross multiply, we have:
4.0625 - 25g = 1.5 + 1.5g
collect like terms, we have:
4.0625 - 1.5 = 1.5g + 25g
2.5625 = 26.5g
Divide both sides by 26.5, we have:
2.5625/26.5 = 26.5g/26.5
g = 9.67%
Similarly, suppose the value for the second year-end to be Y₂;
Then the constant growth dividend model can be computed as:
[tex]Y_2 = \dfrac{D_3}{r - g}[/tex]
where;
D₃ = D₂ × (1 + g)
D₂ × (1 + g) = D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g)
D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g)
D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × 3
D₃ = 1.5 × (1 + 9.67%) × 3
D₃ = $1.9876
Finally:
[tex]Y_2 = \dfrac{D_3}{r - g}[/tex]
[tex]Y_2 = \dfrac{1.9876}{0.1625 - 0.0967}[/tex]
Y₂ = $30.2067

Explanation:
The Cash buffer is also the margin of the total value of the stock.
= Initial margin * Investment value
= 70% * (125 * 100)
= 70% * 12,500
= $8,750

The following U.S. Treasury bond is listed in the The Wall Street Journal: Rate Mo/Yr Bid Asked 9.50 Oct 38 135:30 136:04 This $1,000 par value bond has 18 years to maturity and makes semi-annual coupon interest payments. If you purchased this bond, what would be the bond's yield to maturity
Answer:
6.35%
Explanation:
If you purchase this bond you will need to pay $1,000 x 136.04% = $1,360.40
the coupon rate is 9.5% / 2 = 4.75% or $47.50 every six months
the bond matures in 18 years or 36 semiannual periods
yield to maturity = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = {47.5 + [(1,000 - 1,360.4)/36]} / [(1,000 + 1,360.4)/2]
YTM = 37.49 / 1,180.2 = 0.031766 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.06353 = 6.35%

D(p) = D = 200,000 - 10,000p .................................................................... (1)
Substituting p = 12 into equation (1) to find the value of D, we have:
D = 200,000 – (10,000 * 12) = 200,000 - 120,000 = 80,000
Differentiating equation (1) with respect to p, we have:
dD/dp = -10,000
To calculate elasticity of demand, we use the formula for calculating the elasticity of demand as follows:
E = Elasticity of demand = (p / D) * (dD/dp) ................... (2)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have:
E = (12 / 80,000) * (-10,000) = 0.00015 * (-10,000) = -1.50
Therefore, the price elasticity of demand for tickets -1.50.
Note: Since the absolute value of E i.e. |-1.50| is greater one, it therefore implies that the demand for tickets is elastic.
b. Draw the demand curve.
Note: See the attached pdf file for the demand curve
To draw the demand curve, we need to obtain the new price and the new quantity demanded as follows:
We start by assuming that the price of tickets decreases from 12 birr to 11 birr. Therefore, the percentage change in price is obtained as follows:
Percentage change in price = ((New price – Old price) / Old price) * 100 = ((11 - 12) / 12) * 100 = -8.33%
To calculate the percentage change in demand for tickets, we use the following formula for calculating the elasticity of demand:
E = Percentage change in demand / Percentage change in price ............. (3)
Since from part a above, E = -1.50
And, as calculated here, Percentage change in price = -8.33%, or 0.0833
Substituting the values into equation (3) and solve for Percentage change in demand, we have:
-1.50 = Percentage change in quantity demanded / -0.0833
Percentage change in quantity demanded = (-0.0833) * (-1.50) = 0.12495, or 12.495%
Approximating to 2 decimal places, we have:
Percentage change in quantity demanded = 12.50%
Since the answer is positive, this implies that the demand for tickets D increases by 12.50% when price for tickets decreases by 8.33%. This confirms that the demand for tickets is truly elastic as the percentage change in demand for ticket of 12.50% is greater than the percentage change in price of -8.33%.
The new D can therefore be calculated as follows:
New D = D + (D * Percentage change in demand demanded) = 80,000 + (80,000 * 12.50%) = 90,000
From the calculations above, we have:
Initial price = 12 birr
New price = 11 birr
Initial quantity = D = 80,000
New quantity = New D = 90,000
The values above are then used to draw the demand curve in the attached pdf file.
Since there is a negative relationship between price and quantity demanded in economics, the curve in the attached excel file shows the effect of a decrease in the price of tickets from 12 birr to 11birr (as shown by the arrow) on the quantity demanded for tickets that increases from 80,000 to 90,000 (as shown by the arrow).
Since the demand for tickets is elastic as obtained in part a above, it implies that the percentage change in the quantity demanded for ticket is greater than the percentage change in the price of tickets. This makes the demand curve to be flatter as shown in the attached pdf file
From the demand curve in the attached pdf file; the demand curve for tickets is flatter, and the gap between the initial quantity demanded 80,000 and the new quantity demanded 90,000 is wider than the gap between the initial price 12 birr and the new price 11 birr. This indicated that the percentage change in the quantity demanded of 12.50% which is an increase from 80,000 to 90,000 is higher than the percentage n the price for tickets of 8.33% which is a decrease from 12 birr to 11 birr.
What would be most likely to happen if the discount rate were raised?
A. Depositors would make a run on a bank.
thing
B. Banks would make fewer loans.
C. Creditors would refuse to pay back loans.
D. Banks would stop opening savings accounts.
Answer:
B. Banks would make fewer loans
Explanation:
The discount rate is the interest rate that commercial banks pay to the Federal Reserve for loans received. Banks usually borrow to cater to their short-term cash-flow requirements. The discount rate is higher than the inter bank rate or the fed funds rate(the rate that banks charge each other for loans).
An increase in the discount rate causes the inter bank rate to rise (the Fed controls both rates). It means commercial banks are borrowing money from the Fed and each other at a higher interest rate. Consequently, commercial banks charge a higher interest rate for loans advanced to customers. An increase in interest rates at the banks discourages customers from borrowing.
