You need a 25-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $240,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at an APR of 5.35 percent for this 300-month loan. However, you can afford monthly payments of only $800, so you offer to pay off any remaining loan balance at the end of the loan in the form of a single balloon payment. How large will this balloon payment have to be for you to keep your monthly payments at $800

Answers

Answer:

409,461.10

Explanation:

Present value = Annuity value * [1 - (1/(1+r)^r)] / r

Present value = 800 * [1 - (1/(1+0.0535/12)^25*12)}/0.0535/12

Present value = 132196.0205

Remaining balance = Total loan - Present value of monthly payments = 240,000 - 132196.0205 = 107803.9795

Future value = Cash flow * [1 + Interest rate/Number of months)^Time period

Future value = 107803.9795*[1+0.0535/12]^360

Future value = 409,461.10

Note: Balloon payment mean final payment made by the borrower after the end of partial amortization over the time period of the mortgage

The market for corporate control

leads to less diversification
leads to higher firm profits
limits unprofitable acquisitions by managers
leads to higher managerial compensation
none of the above

Answers

Answer:

The market for corporate control

limits unprofitable acquisitions by managers

Explanation:

Some managers engage in the indiscriminate acquisition of other companies because they are interested in increasing their prestige.  Prestige and power are increased by managing a bigger entity.  In this way, the market for corporate control has been known to limit managerial discretion.  Managerial discretion refers to the freedom that managers exercise in the pursuit of their own objectives (pay, power, status, and prestige) rather than shareholders' interests.  It also creates room for the shareholders to replace inefficient management.  It enables the management team to  pursue shareholders' interests, at least in the interim.

Gambino Construction adds materials at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost uniformly throughout manufacturing. Consider the data that follow.

Units
Beginning work in process 20,000
Started in August 60,000
Production completed 55,000
Ending work in process,40% complete 25,000

Conversion cost in the beginning work-in-process inventory totaled $120,000, and August conversion cost totaled $270,000. Assuming use of the weighted-average method, which of the following choices correctly depicts the number of equivalent units for conversion cost and the conversion cost per equivalent unit?

Equivalent Units Materials Conversion Cost Per Equivalent Unit
a. 69,800 $4.31
b. 80,560 $4.28
c. 80,560 $5.40
d. 96,700 $4.28
e. 96,700 $5.40

Answers

Answer:

Gambino Construction

1. The number of equivalent units for conversion cost = 65,000 units

2. The conversion cost per equivalent unit = $6.00 per unit.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning work in process 20,000 units

Started in August 60,000 units

Production completed 55,000 units

Ending work in process,40% complete 25,000 units

Conversion cost:

Beginning work in process = $120,000

August conversion cost = $270,000

Total conversion costs = $390,000

Method = Weighted-average

Equivalent unit of Conversion:

Started and completed = 55,000 units    100% complete = 55,000

Ending inventory =           25,000 units     40% complete =  10,000

Total equivalent units during August = 65,000 units

Cost per equivalent unit = $390,000/65,000 = $6.00

b) Under the weighted-average method, the equivalent units do not include the beginning unit of work-in-process, but the total cost that determines the costs of the units started and completed and the ending work-in-process includes the cost of the beginning work-in-process.

One of the technical evaluators on a multi-million dollar source selection just told you that her husband was just offered a job with one of the competing contractors. the job offer was unsolicited, tripled his current salary, and was contingent on the company getting the contract award. which administrative remedy should you pursue against this contractor?

Answers

Answer:

The correct administrative remedy against such a contractor is to have them suspended.

Explanation:

The role of a technical evaluator is sensitive as it means that he or she would be privy to almost if not all information that has to do with the contract.

In the information provided, the technical evaluator's husband was offered a job at a company competing or bidding for a multi-million dollar contract she was also evaluating.

Their husband didn't ask for the job. They offered it so that they might gain information to their advantage.

The action of this contractor can be classified as fraudulent. One of the administrative actions that can be taken against such is to have them suspended with a threat to have their license permanently revoked if they should make a similar attempt again.

Suppose that one were to observe an economy in which fluctuations in output and fluctuations in employment are positively correlated. Based upon your answers to parts e and f, can you unambiguously choose either fluctuations in total factor productivity or in consumption utility weight as the source of the fluctuations in output and employment?

Answers

Answer:

I can unambiguously choose fluctuations in total factor productivity as the source of the fluctuations in output and employment.

Explanation:

Total factor productivity refers to the measure of economic efficiency based on the ratio of total outputs to total inputs used in the production of goods and services.  The total factor productivity is obtained by dividing output by the weighted average of labor and capital input, with the standard weights of 0.7 assigned to labor and 0.3 assigned capital.  Increasing total factor productivity in an economy yields higher output with the same resources, and therefore drive economic growth, leading to high levels of employment.  Therefore, total factor productivity is contrasted to consumption utility weight, which measures consumers' satisfaction with goods and satisfaction.

A profit-maximizing entrepreneur rents an apple orchard for a day. He is a price taker in both the market for labor and the market for apples. Assume that a bushel of apples sells for $10. Laborers are hired by the day (the variable input) to pick apples (the product). The production function (the relationship between the number of laborers hired and the number of bushels of apples picked) looks like this:

How many laborers would the entrepreneur employ if the government raised the minimum wage to $75 per day?

a. 4
b. 8
c. 5
d. 7

Answers

Answer:

c. 5

Explanation:

L       Q     MPL (ΔinQ/ΔinL)    VMPL

4      52  

5      60              8                       80

6      66              6                       60

7      70               4                       40

8 72               2                       20

Note: Labour hired per day = L, Total product = Q, Marginal Product of labor=MPL, VMPL =Price*MPL

A firm will maximize the profit by increasing the number of labor as long as VMPL is higher than or equal to the wage rate. In this case, we observe that VMPL ($80)>wage rate ($75) for L=5 but VMPL ($60)<wage rate ($75) for L=6. So, the optimal number of labor to be hired is 5.

A) Going-concern concept
B) Stable monetary unit concept
C) Entity concept
D) None of the above

Answers

Explanation:

Based on the information given the concepts or principles of accounting that was being violated is called STABLE MONETARY UNIT CONCEPT reason been that this type of accounting principle believe that the dollar purchasing power should often be stable or fixed regardless of the increase or rise in market price which is inflation which is why an accountant will often ignore the impact of inflation on goods and services based on the assumption of the principle of STABLE MONETARY UNIT CONCEPT.

Therefore Tate corporation has violated the accounting principle of STABLE MONETARY UNIT CONCEPT by adjusting the building amount that was purchase in 1970 in the Accounting record from the amount of $30,000 to the amount of $75,000 due to the effect of inflation.

Manufacturing overhead applied $600

An additional 4 hours of labor was incurred in November to complete this job. Considering the additional work in November, how much should Juanita have transferred to finished goods inventory in November when this job was completed?

a. $1,330
b. $1,730
c. $1,000
d. $1,630
e. $1,230

Answers

Answer:

Juanita Corporation

Considering the additional work in November, Juanita should have transferred $1,980 to finished goods inventory in November when this job was completed

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Direct materials $480

Direct labor      $150

Manufacturing overhead applied $600

Initial labor hours = $600/$150 = 4 hours

Additional labor hours = 4 hours

Total labor hours = 8 hours

Direct labor rate = $150/4 = $37.50

New Total costs:

Direct materials $480

Direct labor         300 ($37.50 * 8)

Overhead         1,200 ($150 * 8)

Total cost =    $1,980

b) Note that there is additional direct labor cost of $150 for 4 hours and additional manufacturing overhead of $600 for the additional 4 direct labor hours.  When these are factored in, the total cost that should be transferred to finished goods inventory in November rises to $1,980.

Answers

Answer:

$4,320

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount to be recorded as depreciation expense at December 31, 2022

Using this formula

Depreciation expense at December 31, 2022=[(Factory equipment - Salvage value) ÷ 10]× 9/12

Let plug in the formula

Depreciation expense at December 31, 2022=[($69,600 - $12,000) ÷ 10] × 9/12

Depreciation expense at December 31, 2022=$5,760×9/12

Depreciation expense at December 31, 2022=$4,320

Note that 1 April 2022 to 31st December 2022 will give us 9months

Therefore Using the straight-line method of depreciation, the amount to be recorded as depreciation expense at December 31, 2022 is:$4,320

You sell short 600 shares of Microsoft that are currently selling at $25 per share. You post the 40% margin required on the short sale. If you earn no interest on the funds in your margin account, what will be your rate of return after 1 year if Microsoft is selling at $24? (Ignore any dividends.) Multiple Choice 10.00% 7.50% 17.50% 5.00%

Answers

Answer:

10.00%

Explanation:

Calculation for what will be your rate of return after 1 year if Microsoft is selling at $24

Using this formula

Rate of return = (Current price - Initial price ) /Current price *margin

Let plug in the formula

Rate of return=($25 per share-$24)/$25 per share*0.40

Rate of return=$1/10

Rate of return=0.1*100

Rate of return=10.00%

Therefore what will be your rate of return after 1 year if Microsoft is selling at $24 is 10.00%

Based on your focus group, you ask your product research team to propose different formulas for turmeric meal replacement shakes. Keeping in mind that all In Fine Fettle's products use ingredients that are of higher quality than the competition's, your food scientists offer you three different formulations. Choose the formula that would be most attractive to the target market.
A. Has the highest turmeric content and anti—inflammatory properties
Made with quality ingredients
Taste rated as 5/10
B. Has the second-highest turmeric content and anti—inflammatory properties
Made with superior quality ingredients
Taste rated as 7/10
C. Has the lowest turmeric content and anti—inflammatory properties
Made with quality ingredients
Taste rated as 9/10

Answers

Answer: B. Has the second-highest turmeric content and anti-inflammatory properties

Made with superior quality ingredients

Taste rated as 7/10

Explanation:

The formula in B would be the most attractive because it is a compromise between the first and the second more 'extreme' formulas.

The first one for instance has the highest turmeric content but is lacking in taste. The third has the lowest content and is sweet. Consumers would most probably go for a compromise and pick the formula with the second highest content and not to bad taste wise whilst still being made of superior ingredients.
