Answer:
A. You would choose Bank A because its EAR is higher.
C) If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the compounding period (1 year for Bank A and 1 day for Bank B), and you think there is a high probability that you will make a withdrawal during the year, then Bank B might be preferable.
Explanation:
Effective interest rate(EFF%) or EAR=[ (1+r/n)^n -1]
r= nominal interest rate
n= number of compounding period per year.
For bank A we have 8%
%FF%)=[(1+0.08/1)^1 -1]
= 1.08-1
= 0.08×100
= 8%
For bank B we have 7%
EFF%)=[(1+0.07/365)^365 -1]
= 1.0725-1
= 0.0725×100
= 7.25%
You would choose Bank A because its EAR is higher. i.e bank A has 8% and bank B
7.25 respectively.
.Could your choice of banks be influenced by the fact that you might want to withdraw your funds during the year as opposed to at the end of the year?
Yes, it will , because bank B will bring interest every day, so it will be preferable, in the case that the funds is withdrawable during the year and that no interest will be generated.
because for bank A to earn interest you will need to leave the fund there for the whole year incase the fund will remain as deposit for the compounding period for interest sake.
Use demand and supply diagrams (with proper labels and arrows) to show the effect of
a) a reduction in price of DVD Players on market for DVDs.
b) reports that eating chocolate adds to your life expectancy (!!) on the market for chocolate candy bars.
c) an additional $1 a pack sales tax on cigarettes along with a ban on advertising cigarettes.
d) automation in fast food industry on market for unskilled fast food workers.
e) an increase in interest rate on the stock market.
f) flooding in the southeast on market for fruits and vegetables.
Answer:
Please check the attached images for the graphs
Explanation:
a.DVD players and DVDs are complements
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
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
You predict that interest rates are about to fall. Which bond will give you the highest capital gain
Answer: d. Zero coupon, long maturity
Explanation:
It is generally held that when interest rates decrease in the market, the price of bonds will increase because people will seek bonds as they offer a steady rate of return.
A longer maturity bond will enable you to take advantage of this decrease in interest rates over a longer period because you get to discount the bond at a lower rate over a longer period so it is better.
A zero coupon long maturity bond is the best because when it is discounted at this lower rate, it will bring back a higher price than the rest of the bonds
A local taxi company advertises being able to make cabs available to riders within 5 minutes. They have recruited several cab drivers to ensure that they meet this promise. Which dimension of the customer utility function they are appealing to
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Timing
Explanation:
The utility function measures the level of satisfaction or the welfare of a consumer, as a function of the consumption of real goods or services. The dimensions of consumer utility function include; Fit, Timing, Location, performance, and price.
Fit: This has to do with the design of a product, satisfying a context-specific problem. That is the product "fits" the need of the consumer
Timing: This covers the length of time between when the consumer places an order to when the order arrives. A short timing is satisfying to the consumer. In this example, the timing of 5 minutes or comparatively ideal for cabs being available to riders.
Location: The location entails the extent of coverage within a country or region that the product can be accessed. Particularly in rural settings.
Performance: performance has to do with the efficiency of the product/service in the process of it being used
Price: price is the amount at which the product is made available to the consumers.

Explanation:
Your father is 50 years old and will retire in 10 years. He expects to live for 25 years after he retires until he is 85. He wants a fixed retirement income that has the same purchasing power at the time he retires as $45,000 has today. (The real value of his retirement income will decline annually after he retires.) His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, at which time he will receive 24 additional annual payments. Annual inflation is expected to be 5.5%. He currently has $100,000 saved, and he expects to earn 9% annually on his savings. How much must he save during each of the next 10 years (end-of-year deposits) to meet his retirement goal?

Explanation:.
Task C has two immediate predecessors, Tasks A and B. Task C also has two immediate followers, Tasks D and E. Task A has an early finish time of 3 days, and Task B has an early finish time of 5 days. Task D has a late start time of 10 days and Task E has a late start time of 8 days. Task C is 2 days long. What is the early finish time of Task C
Answer:
7 days
Explanation:
Calculation for the early finish time of Task C
First step is to find the Early Start of task C
Using this formula
Early Start of task C = MAX (Early Finish of task A, Early Finish of task B)
Let plug in the formula
Early Start of task C= MAX(3,5)
Early Start of task C = 5
Now let calculate the Early Finish time of Task C
Using this formula
Earliest Finish = Earliest Start + Activity Duration
Let plug in the formula
Earliest Finish of task C = 5 + 2
Earliest Finish of task C = 7 days
Therefore the early finish time of Task C will be 7 days
The early finish time of task C is the sum of the early start time and the activity duration of the task. Hence, the early finish time of task C is 7 days.
Given the Parameters :
Activity time of task C = 2 days Early finish, Task A = 3 days Early finish, Task B = 5 daysThe early finish time of task C :
Early start time possible + Activity time of task C
Maximum value of the finish time of the preceeding task :
Early start time of task C = maximum(3, 5)
Early start time of task C = 5 days
Early finish time of C = 5 days + Activity time
Early finish time of task C = 5 days + 2 days = 7 days
Therefore, the early finish time of task C is 7 days

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.

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).

Explanation:
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
A 50-kilowatt gas turbine has an investment cost of $40,000. It costs another $14,000 for shipping, insurance, site preparation, fuel lines, and fuel storage tanks. The operation and maintenance expense for this turbine is $450 per year. Additionally, the hourly fuel expense for running the turbine is $7.50 per hour, and the turbine is expected to operate 3,000 hours each year. The cost of dismantling and disposing of the turbine at the end of its 8-year life is $8,000.
Required:
a. If the MARR is 15% per year, what is the annual equivalent life-cycle cost of the gas turbine?
b. What percent of annual life-cycle cost is related to fuel?
Answer:
The annual equivalent life-cycle cost (AW) of gas turbine = -$35,569.8
The percentage fuel cost = 63.25%
Explanation:
From the given information:
Let's start with the initial investment cost, which can be expressed by using the formula:
Initial investment cost = Investment cost of turbine + cost including shipping, insurance, site preparation, fuel lines, and fuel storage tanks.)
Initial investment cost = $40,000 + $14000
Initial investment cost = $54000
However, The annual fuel expense = hourly fuel expense for running turbine × total number of operating hour per year
The annual fuel expense = $7.50 × 3000
The annual fuel expense = $22,500
Therefore, the total operating cost per year = operating & maintenance cost per year + fuel expenses per year
the total operating cost per year = $(450 + 22500)
the total operating cost per year = $22,950
If the minimum acceptable rate of return MARR is 15%, then the number of years is 8 years
Therefore, the annual equivalent life-cycle cost (AC) of the gas turbine can be computed as follows:
AC(15%) = -54000 (A/P, 15%, 8) - $22950-$8000(A/F,15%,8)
where;
(A/P,15%,8) = annual worth factor of a present worth
(A/F,15%,8) = annual worth factor of future worth for 8 years and 15% interest rate.
If we use the discrete compounding table when i = 15%;
Value of (A/P,15%,8) = 0.229
Value of (A/F,15%,8) = 0.0729
∴
AC(15%) = -$54,000(0.2229) - $22,950 -$8000(0.0729)
AC(15%) = -$12,036.6 -$22950 -$583.2
AC(15%) = -$35,569.8
Therefore, the annual equivalent life-cycle cost (AW) of gas turbine = -$35,569.8
b.
The percentage of the annual life-cycle cost related to the fuel can be calculated by using the formula :
[tex]\mathbf{\% \ fuel \ cost = \dfrac{fuel \ cost \ per \ year}{total \ annual \ life \ cycle \ cost }\times 100\%}[/tex]
Replacing our values from above, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{\% \ fuel \ cost = \dfrac{\$22500}{\$35,569.8}\times 100\%}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\% \ fuel \ cost = 0.6325\times 100\%}[/tex]
∴
The percentage fuel cost = 63.25%
Based on the given information, the annual equivalent life-cycle cost of the gas turbine is "$35,569.80," while the percent of the annual life-cycle cost is related to fuel is "65.87%."
This is based on the calculation below:
Given that: Initial investment cost => Investment cost of turbine + cost including shipping, insurance, site preparation, fuel lines, and fuel storage tanks.
Hence, we have the following:
Initial investment cost = $40,000 + $14,000;
=> Initial investment cost = $54,000.
On the other hand, The annual fuel expense = hourly fuel expense for running turbine × total number of operating hour per year;
Thus, we have the following:
The annual fuel expense = $7.50 × 3,000;
The annual fuel expense = $22,500.
Also, since, the total operating cost per year = operating & maintenance cost per year + fuel expenses per year;
We have the following:
the total operating cost per year = $(450 + 22,500);
the total operating cost per year = $22,950.
Therefore, given that the minimum acceptable rate of return MARR is 15%, then the number of years is 8 years.
Then, the annual equivalent life-cycle cost (AC) of the gas turbine is measured as:
AC (15%) = -54,000 (A/P, 15%, 8) - $22,950 - $8,000 (A/F,15%,8);
Here, we have the following details;
(A/P,15%,8) = annual worth factor of a present worth;
(A/F,15%,8) = annual worth factor of future worth for 8 years and 15% interest rate.
This, given that we use the discrete compounding table when i = 15%;
We have the following:
Value of (A/P,15%,8) = 0.229;
Value of (A/F,15%,8) = 0.0729.
AC (15%) = -$54,000 (0.2229) - $22,950 -$8,000 (0.0729);
AC(15%) = -$12,036.60 -$22,950 -$583.20;
AC(15%) = -$35,569.80.
Hence, the annual equivalent life-cycle cost (AW) of gas turbine = $35,569.80.
Similarly, the percent of the annual life-cycle cost is related to fuel is measured as = ($35,569.8 ÷ $54,000) × 100
=> 65.87%.
Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the lifecycle cost is essential when measuring the productivity of a project.

Materials and manufacturing labor variances, standard costsDunn, Inc., is a privately held furniture manufacturer. 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)

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

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.
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.
