Answer:
a. We need more information to answer
Explanation:
In order to correctly answer his question we need more information. Economy is all about the margin, i.e. marginal revenue versus marginal cost. We are given the marginal revenue ($20/hr of tutoring services) but we are not given the marginal costs of tutoring. We only know that the cost of tutoring the first hour is $14, but what about the rest of the hours. Since you have 5 clients, you must be tutoring more than 1 hour per day. It is always easier to determine the marginal revenue since we determine it, while we cannot determine which costs we would like to incur.
Profits should be maximized when marginal revenue = marginal cost, but unless we know the marginal cost of tutoring the rest of the students we simply cannot answer this question.
Johnson Company has current year accounts payable of $25,000 and cost of goods sold of $100,000. Compute Johnson Company’s days’ payable outstanding.
Answer:
the days payable outstanding is 91.25 days
Explanation:
The computation of the days payable outstanding is shown below:
Days' payable outstanding is
= (Accounts Payable ÷ Cost of goods sold) × total number of days in a year
= ($25,000 ÷ $100,00) × 365 days
= 91.25 days
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
Hence, the days payable outstanding is 91.25 days
When agent Tom meets with his sellers to explain his advertising plan, he should make sure the owners understand that:__________.a) Advertising a similar property can and does create interest in their property.b) He can’t afford to continue advertising if the ads he places fail to generate interest.c) There are only so many advertising dollars to go around.d) Most of the advertising budget is earmarked for low-priced homes.
Answer:
Advertising a similar property can and does create interest in their property
Explanation:
In real estate agents need to effectively market properties in order to sell to consumers.
One way of doing this is by creating awareness in a given market about a particular property type.
When interest in a type of property is created it generates interest that will lead to more sales.
In the given scenario when Tom meets with his sellers to explain his advertising plan, he should make sure the owners understand that to capture a market they need to advertise even products that are similar.
As interest grows it will create a demand for that type of property
The correct option is a.
The following information should be considered:
For selling a property to consumers it should be effectively marketed.This can be done by providing a detailed information related to the property.This will increase the interest of the consumer and will lead to increase in sales. So, When agent Tom meets with his sellers to explain his advertising plan, he would make sure that the owners understand that to increase the sales we must advertise even the products that are similar.Learn more: brainly.com/question/17429689

Dartmouth Assessment Centre screens and trains employees for a computer assembly firm in Halifax. The progress of all trainees is tracked and those not showing the proper progress are moved to less demanding programs. By the tenth repetition, trainees must be able to complete the assembly task in 1 hour or less. Torri Olson-Alves has just spent 5 hours on the fourth unit and 4 hours completing her eighth unit, while another trainee, Julie Burgmeier, took 4 hours on the third and 3 hours on the sixth unit. Should you encourage either or both of the trainees to continue? Why?
Answer:
Discourage Torri from continuing. Encourage Julie to continue.
Explanation:
The progress of all trainees is tracked. Those not showing good progress are moved to less demanding programs. This means that there is hope of still doing/getting a job, if they don't pass this test.
REQUIREMENT: By the 10th time doing the test, trainees must be able to complete the task in a maximum of 1 hour.
1st Trainee: Torri Olson-Alves
5 hours on Unit 4; 4 hours on Unit 8
Should Torri be encouraged to continue? NO.
There are 10 units or repetitions in all. If Torri spends 5 hours on Unit 4 and spends 4 hours on Unit 8, then Torri is slow or isn't making much progress. After 4 repetitions, her marginal product only increased by an hour. She most likely won't make it to 1 hour by the 10th repetition.
2nd Trainee: Julie Burgmeier
4 hours on Unit 3; 3 hours on Unit 6
Should Julie be encouraged to continue? YES.
Julie makes a progress of 1 hour after 3 repetitions. We can predict that after another 3 repetitions (on Unit 9) progress would be made again and by Unit 10, she would have met the required benchmark.

Hiring one more worker for a station ___ design capacity and ___ utilization. (Hint: Relate to the problem set.)A. may increase or decrease, always increasesB. always increases, may increase or decreaseC. always increases, always increasesD. may increase or decrease, may increase or decrease
Answer:
B. always increases, may increase or decrease
Explanation:
Each worker being added is going to complete some job or assemble some units hence the design capacity after addition of worker will always be greater than the design capacity before addition. But utilization = actual output * 100 / theoretical design capacity.
Hence, if actual output after addition of worker increases more in proportion than that of proportional increase in number of worker, then the utilization of workstation will increase else it is likely to decrease. If both proportion are equal then the utilization is likely to remain same.
Stenson, Inc., imposes a payback cutoff of three years for its international investment projects. Assume the company has the following two projects available. Year Cash Flow A Cash Flow B 0 –$ 64,000 –$ 109,000 1 26,500 28,500 2 34,400 33,500 3 28,500 25,500 4 14,500 231,000 What is the payback period for each project?
Answer:
Stenson, Inc.
The payback period for each project is:
Project A = 3 years
Project B = 4 years
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Year Cash Flow A Cash Flow B
0 –$ 64,000 –$ 109,000
1 26,500 28,500
2 34,400 33,500
3 28,500 25,500
4 14,500 231,000
Total inflow $103,900 $318,500
b) The payback period is the time when the cash outflow is recouped. For project A, the payback period occurs in year 3. For project B, the payback period occurs in year 4. Based on the company's cutoff of three years, Project B may not be accepted even with its large cash inflow in year 4. Therefore, the best decision will be to discount the cash inflows with a suitable rate of interest. This will help Stenson, Inc. to decide between accepting Project A or Project B.
Feeling "He who does the work of the King ought to be King," Pope Zacharias helped whom become King of the Franks in 751?
a. Charles Martel
b. Childeric
c. Pepin the Short
Answer:
(C) Pepin The Short
Explanation:
In 741AD, Pepin took over from his father as Mayor of the Palace. He ruled alongside his elder brother.
In 743AD, Pepin and his brother chose Childeric to be the apparent King of the Franks. Both brothers still wielded the functional power to the throne. Childeric was just to 'appear to be' the King (unknown to him though).
In 747AD, Pepin's brother stepped down (intentionally and on his own accord). Pepin then became the only ruler of the entire Frankish territory.
In 751AD, Pepin, without full support from his clan, lured Childeric into monastery in order to remove him as the 'face of Francia'.
Pope Zacharias helped Pepin to be proclaimed King of the Franks, against all opposition.

When evaluating an investment, the MNC should consider the ____________ cash flows generated by the project.
a. total
b. variable
c. incremental
d. fixed
Answer: c. Incremental
Explanation:
Simply put incremental cashflow is the additional cashflow that accrues to a company when it takes on a new project. The Multinational company should therefore consider this when they are accepting a project.
If the new project has a positive incremental cashflow, it will add to the cashflows of the company and so should be initiated as opposed to those with negative incremental cashflows.
A stock has the following returns over three consecutive years: 85%, 58%, and 128%. What is the arithmetic average?
Answer:
The stock's arithmetic average is:
90.33%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Returns over three consecutive years:
Year 1 = 85%
Year 2 = 58%
Year 3 = 128%
Total returns = 271%
Average = Total returns divided by number of years
= 271/3
= 90.333
=90.33%
b) The arithmetic average is the total returns divided by the number of years involved. This implies that we find the average or the mean by adding up some pieces of data together and dividing by the number of the pieces of data.

Four years ago your firm issued a $1,000 par bond with a 4% semi-annual coupon and 20 years to maturity. The bond is now priced at $860. What is the current yield to maturity of the bond?
Answer:
the current yield to maturity of the bond is 5.31%
Explanation:
The computation of the yield to maturity is shown below:
Given that
Future value = $1,000
Present value = $860
NPER = (20 - 4) × 2 = 16
PMT = $1,000 × 4% ÷ 2 = $20
The formula is shown below:
= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
The present values comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is
= 2.6548% × 2
= 5.31%
Hence, the current yield to maturity of the bond is 5.31%
Samuelson's has a debt–equity ratio of 43 percent, sales of $10,000, net income of $1,700, and total debt of $8,700. What is the return on equity?
Answer:
8.40%
Explanation:
Calculation for the return on equity
First step is to calculate the equity using this formula
Equity=Total debt/Debt–equity ratio
Let plug in the formula
Equity=$8,700/43%
Equity=$20,233
Last step is to calculate the return on equity
Using this formula
Return on Equity=Net income/Equity
Let plug in the formula
Return on Equity=$1,700/$20,233
Return on Equity=8.40%
Therefore the return on equity will be 8.40%

"Explain how the development of money over time has helped to improve the way in which monetary transactions are conducted" 6 MARK QUESTION
Explanation:
First money ever made was just coins and it differed in worth compared to today. In the present, money is not only a physical object but it also an imaginary value on our bank accounts and cards. Having in mind that monetary transactions are all-in-all deposits, withdrawals and exchanges, its way easier to conduct those with not having to give and recieve money in physical form, but being, able to do it all while just transfering the numbers from one to another account. Bankers have less responsibility due to not having to stock all the money in safes and secure boxes, but just checking if all the numbers are adding up. So, shall we say, the development of money over time has improved the way in which monetary transactions are conducted because this way, it's safer, faster and much more trustworthy.
YCD, Inc., has sales of $5,783, total assets of $2,604, and a debt-equity ratio of 0.75. If its return on equity is 11 percent, what is its net income?
Answer:Net income=$164
Explanation:
Equity multiplier = 1 + Debt-equity ratio
Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.75
Equity multiplier = 1.75
And the total asset turnover is:
Total asset turnover = Sales / Total assets
Total asset turnover = $5,783 / $2,604
Total asset turnover = 2.22 times
ROE = (Profit margin)(Total asset turnover)(Equity multiplier)
0.11 = (Profit margin)(2.22)(1.75)
Profit margin = 0.14/3.885 =0.0283
Rearranging we can find the net income as
Profit margin = Net income / Sales
Net income = profit margin x Sales
Net income =0.0283 x $5,783,= $163.6589 = $164
The charter of a corporation provides for the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock. Assume that 60,000 shares were originally issued and 10,000 were subsequently reacquired.

Outstanding number of shares 50,000
Dividends per share declared $2
Total dividends declares $100,000 (50,000 shares * $2)
Knowledge Check 01 An unfavorable variance of $5,000 in cost of goods sold is determined by comparing the actual results (10,000 units) and the flexible budget (10,000 units). What type of variance is described?a. Activity variance b. Spending variance c. Revenue variance
Answer:
The correct option is b. Spending variance.
Explanation:
Spending variance can be described as the difference between the actual cost and budgeted cost at the actual activity level.
Since cost of goods sold (COGS) is the direct costs incurred to produce the goods that is sold by a firm, it therefore implies that the amount of variance in cost of goods sold can be determined by comparing the actual results and the flexible budget at the actual activity level or actual units.
Based on the explanation above, the correct option is b. Spending variance. That is, Spending variance is an unfavorable variance of $5,000 in cost of goods sold is determined by comparing the actual results (10,000 units) and the flexible budget (10,000 units).
Keynes revolutionized economic theory by changing the explanation for what causes economic growth from aggregate _______ to aggregate _______.
a. demand; supply
b. supply; demand
c. cost; inflation
d. GDP; income
Answer:
b. supply; demand
Explanation:
Before Keynes, classical economists thought that aggregate supply was more important than aggregate demand in determining the overall economic level of a country. This was mainly because of the belief in say's law: the law stated that every offer creates its own deamand.
Keynes changed economics because he stated that demand and supply do not always reach equilibrium, and that demand is often insufficient, and it is the government job to stimulate demand through expansionary monetary and fiscal policy, like lowering interest rates and cutting taxes.
Tinker's cost of goods sold in the year of sale (2019) was $750,000 and 2018 cost of goods sold was $770,000. The inventory at the end of 2019 was $188,000 and at the end of 2018 the inventory was $208,000. Tinker's average number of days to sell its inventory during 2019 is closest to: (Use 365 days a year.)
Answer:
96.3 days
Explanation:
Inventory turnover is calculated as;
= ( Average inventory / cost of goods sold ) × 365
Where,
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2
Average inventory = ($208,000 + $188,000) / 2
Average inventory = $198,000
Therefore,
Inventory turnover = ($198,000 / $750,000) × 365
Inventory turnover = 96.3 days
The average number of days for Tinker to sell it's inventory during 2019 is closest to 96.3 days
Suppose you have the following three zero-coupon bond (ZCB) available: a 1-year ZCB that costs $97, a 2-year ZCB that costs $95, and a 3-year ZCB that costs $92. Assume that the par values are $100.
a. What must the price of a 3-year coupon bond with at 8% coupon rate?
b. How would you make an arbitrage profit if the coupon bond was trading at $100?
c. How much arbitrage profit would you make per $100 of the 3-year coupon bond trade?
Answer:
Bond price = Par value / (1 + 1 year spot rate)1
$97 = $100 / (1 + 1 year spot rate)^1
(1 + 1 year spot rate)^1 = $100 / $97
(1 + 1 year spot rate) = 1.030928
1 year spot rate = 3.0928%
Bond price = Par value / (1 + 2 year spot rate)^2
$95 = $100 / (1 + 2 year spot rate)^2
(1 + 2 year spot rate)^2 = $100 / $95
(1 + 2 year spot rate)^2 = 1.052632
(1 + 2 year spot rate) = (1.052632)(1 / 2)
(1 + 2 year spot rate) = 1.025978
2 year spot rate = 2.5978%
Bond price = Par value / (1 + 3 year spot rate)^3
$92 = $100 / (1 + 3 year spot rate)^3
(1 + 3 year spot rate)^3 = $100 / $92
(1 + 3 year spot rate)^3 = 1.086957
(1 + 3 year spot rate) = (1.086957)(1 / 3)
(1 + 3 year spot rate) = 1.028184
3 year spot rate = 2.8184%
Coupon per period = (Coupon rate / No of coupon payments per year) * Par value
Coupon per period = (8% / 1) * $100
Coupon per period = $8
a) Bond price = Coupon / (1 + 1 year spot rate)^1 + Coupon / (1 + 2 year spot rate)^2 + (Coupon + Par value) / (1 + 3 year spot rate)^3
Bond price = $8 / (1 + 3.0928%)^1 + $8 / (1 + 2.5978%)^2 + ($8 + $100) / (1 + 2.8184%)^3
Bond price based on spot rates = $114.7199
b. Bond price based on spot rates is greater than traded bond price to exploit this arbitrage the following strategy must be implemented
The 3 year 8% coupon bond should be bought at $100.
Portfolio = -$100
1 year zero coupon bond with face value $8 must be sold
Portfolio = (Price of 1 year zero coupon bond / Face value) * Amount of Face value to be Sold
Portfolio = ($97 / $100) * $8
Portfolio = $7.76
2 year zero coupon bond with face value $8 must be sold
Portfolio = Price of 2 year zero coupon bond / Face value) * Amount of Face value to be Sold
Portfolio = ($95 / $100) * $8
Portfolio = $7.6
3 year zero coupon bond with face value $108 must be sold
Portfolio = Price of 3 year zero coupon bond / Face value) * Amount of Face value to be Sold
Portfolio = ($92 / $100) * $108
Portfolio = $99.36
Arbitrage profit = -$100 + $7.76 + $7.6 + $99.36
Arbitrage profit = $14.72
c) Arbitrage profit = Bond price based on spot rates - Traded Bond price
Arbitrage profit = $114.72 - $100
Arbitrage profit = $14.72
Arbitrage profit would you make per $100 = $14.72

1. How much would you pay for a share of stock paying a dividend(cash payout C) of $4 to be paid in one year, a known selling price in one year (P) of $50, and expected return (R) of similar assets of 2%?2. Compute the price of a share of stock that pays a$1.50 per year dividend and that you expect to be able to sell in one year for $20, assuming you require a 10% return.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The willing to pay is
= (Current year price) ÷ (1 + rate) + (current year dividend) ÷ (1 + rate)\
= ($50) ÷ (1 + 0.02) + ($4) ÷ (1 + 0.02)
= $52.94
b. The price of a share is
= (Current year price) ÷ (1 + rate) + (current year dividend) ÷ (1 + rate)\
= ($20) ÷ (1 + 0.10) + ($1.50) ÷ (1 + 0.10)
= $19.55
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

You want to invest $50,000 in a portfolio with a beta of no more than 1.4 and an expected return of 12.4%. Bay Corp. has a beta of 1.2 and an expected return of 11.2%, and City Inc. has a beta of 1.8 and an expected return of 14.8%. The risk-free rate is 4%. You can invest in Bay Corp. and City Inc. How much will you invest in each?
Answer:
Assume the weight to be invested in Bay Corp is x. That means (1 - x) will be the weight for City Inc. The expression for the expected return will be;
(x * 11.2%) + ( (1 - x) * 14.8%) = 12.4%
0.112x + 0.148 - 0.148x = 0.124
-0.036x = -0.024
x = 0.67
Portfolio beta is;
= 0.67 * 1.2 + ( 1 - 0.67) * 1.8
= 1.398 so beta condition is satisfied.
Amount in Bay Corp.;
= 0.67 * 50,000
= $33,500
Amount in City Inc.;
= 50,000 - 33,500
= $16,500
The amounts that will be invested in Bay Corp. and City Inc. will be $33500 and $16500.
Let the weight invested in Bay Corp be x.Therefore the weight invested in City Inc. will be 1 - x.
Therefore, the equation to solve the question will be:
( x × 11.2%) + [(1 - x) × 14.8%)] = 12.4%
Open the brackets
0.112x + 0.148 - 0.148x = 0.124
Collect like terms
-0.036x = -0.024
x = -0.024 / 0.036
x = 0.67
The portfolio beta will be:
= 0.67 * 1.2 + ( 1 - 0.67) × 1.8
= 1.398 .
Therefore, the amount invested in Bay Corp will be:
= 0.67 × $50,000
= $33,500
Therefore, the amount in City Inc. will be:
= $50,000 - $33,500
= $16,500
