Answer: D. I, II, and III.
Explanation:
The demand for investment funds determines the demand for loanable funds and when this is higher than the supply, the rate increases. The reverse it true. It therefore affects real interest rates.
The savings of households and business firms are the source of loanable funds so if these are high relative to demand, the rate will decrease. The reverse is true.
Government demand for funds will increase interest rates as the supply will decrease when the government borrows massively. The reverse is true.
All three therefore impart real interest rates.

4. Problems and Applications Q4 Many observers believe that the levels of pollution in our society are too high. True or False: If society wishes to reduce overall pollution by a certain amount, it is efficient to have firms with lower costs reduce greater amounts of pollution than those with higher costs.
Answer: True
Explanation:
Firms with lower costs would also incur a lower cost when they try to reduce pollution so they should reduce more pollution because of this reduced cost that they will incur.
Firms with higher costs would then reduce less pollution because this would ensure that they do not spend too much on pollution reduction and incur even more costs.
Elm Corporation is a merchandising company. The year began with inventory of $21,000, Purchases for the year were $46,000, and the Ending Inventory was $8,000. What is the Cost of Goods Sold that would be reported on the income statement
Answer:

Cochran's Furniture Outlet is issuing 25-year, 9 percent callable bonds. These bonds are callable in 4 years with a call premium of $45. The bonds are being issued at par and pay interest semi-annually. What is the yield to call
Answer:
a. Nper = 30
Explanation:
PMT = 45
FV = `1000
Price Pv = -1180
Rate (YTM) = ?
Using the MsExcel Rate function to derive YTM
Nominal annual yield to maturity = Rate(Nper, Pmt, -Pv, Fv) * 2
Nominal annual yield to maturity = Rate(30, 45, -1180, 1000) * 2
Nominal annual yield to maturity = 7.04%
b. Nper = 10
PMT = 45
Call Price = 1090
Price Pv = -1180
Rate (YTC) = ?
Using the MsExcel Rate function to derive YTM
Nominal annual yield to call = Rate(Nper, Pmt, -Pv, Fv) * 2
Nominal annual yield to call = Rate(10, 45, -1180, 1090) * 2
Nominal annual yield to call = 6.31%
C. Yes, the bond issue should call because the YTC is less than the YTM.
A company's ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity decreased from 0.6 to 0.4 during the year. This is a.an improvement in the margin of safety for creditors. b.an indication that the company's level of debt is increasing. c.a negative change in the company's financial position. d.an improvement in the company's net income.
Answer:
A)an improvement in the margin of safety for creditors.
Explanation:
Margin of safety can be regarded as a principle of investing whereby an investor only make purchases of securities during the time when the market price is below their intrinsic value significantly. In a case whereby
the market price of a security falls below ones estimation of its intrinsic value significantly, then the difference that exist there is regarded as margin of safety. Margin of safety can as well be regarded as financial ratio which gives measurement of the amount of sales which exceed the break-even point. Most times investors may create a margin of safety with regards to their own risk preferences, purchasing of securities in a time that there is a difference give room for an investment to be made with minimal downside risk.
For instance, company's ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity decreased from 0.6 to 0.4 during the year.
If the reserve ratio is 8 percent, then an additional $1,000 of reserves can increase the money supply by as much as
a. $6,400.
b. $8,000.
c. $20,000.
d. $12,500.
Answer:
d. $12,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what an additional reserves can increase the money supply by
Using this formula
Increase in Money supply=1/Reserve ratio*Additional Reserves
Let plug in the formula
Increase in Money supply=1/.08* 1,000
Increase in Money supply=$12,500
Therefore an additional reserves can increase the money supply by $12,500
During its first month of operations, Purrfect Pets purchased 5,100 bags of dog food at a cost of $7 a bag and sold all 5,100 bags of dog food on account with payment terms of 1/10, n/30 for $11 each. A total of 2,100 of these bags were sold to customers who paid within the discount period; the other customers paid after the discount period had ended. Sales allowances totaling $220 were granted to customers whose dogs did not like the dog food. Required: Calculate the gross profit for the month. Calculate the gross profit percentage for the month.
Answer:
Purrfect Pets
The gross profit for the month is:
= $20,180.
The gross profit percentage for the month is:
= 36.11%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Quantity of dog food purchased = 5,100 bags
Cost per bag = $7
Quantity of dog food sold = 5,100 bags
Sales price per bag = $11
Sales revenue $56,100 ($5,100 * $11)
Less Sales allowances 220
Net Sales $55,880
Cost of goods (dog food) sold 35,700 (5,100 *$7)
Gross profit $20,180
Discounts (2,100 * $11 * 1%) 231
Net operating income $19,949
Gross profit percentage = Gross profit/Net Sales * 100
= $20,180/$55,880 * 100
= 36.11%
41 had investments in stock funds 91 had investments in bond funds 60 had investments in money market funds 47 had investments in stock funds and bond funds 36 had investments in stock funds and money market funds 36 had investments in bond funds and money market funds 22 had investments in all three funds a. How many employees had no fund investments
Answer:
The answer is "22 and 80"
Explanation:
The important part is to understand how the Venn diagram can assist you with your numbers.
You cannot draw this one, and you can create one as follows:
the 3 sorts of funding, then make your way back thru the list
this is the figure in the center - "22 had all 3 funds"
where the four dimensions meet. In the next three statements, you'll be able to:
Work out where 2 circles connect (remember all 22 of those circles are connected).
That's because the numerals have been already placed throughout the center zone.

Andy contracts with Susan to feed his dog while he is Europe during the month of July. Andy calls and revokes on July 1st after Susan has gone out and purchased the necessary products to perform but has not yet feed the dog once. A court will likely:
Answer: D. Enforce the contract.
Explanation:
This falls under the doctrine of Promissory estoppel. This posits that when a party to a contract has invested their money into procuring the necessary tools to fulfil their part of the contract, the other party may not cancel the contract unless they pay the former party what they would have made from the contract.
This is because the party that used their money to procure tools (Susan in this case) would not have done so if the other party (Andy) had not made a promise to them in the contract that they would fulfil their part of the bargain.
The Courts would therefore enforce the contract.
Jason is faced with two choices: A BMW costing $40,000 gives him an additional 1005 units of utility, and a laser printer costing $1,000 gives him an additional 25 units of utility. Rational choice theory would predict that he would choose:
Answer:
either a BMW or a laser printer because they yield the same marginal printer
Explanation:
A rational consumer would choose the good that provides a higher utility
Marginal utility is the additional satisfaction received from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. Marginal utility is the additional utility derived from consuming one more unit of a good. the consumption decision is to consume more units of a good that gives the higher utility per good.
Marginal utility per good = marginal utility / price of the good
BMW = 1005 /40,000 = 0.025
Printer = 25 / $1000 = 0.025
The following monthly data are available for Waterway Industries. which produces only one product: Selling price per unit, $54; Unit variable expenses, $14; Total fixed expenses, $42000; Actual sales for the month of June, 2000 units. How much is the margin of safety for the company for June
Answer:
Margin of safety= 950 units
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 42,000 / (54 - 14)
Break-even point in units= 1,050
Now, the margin of safety in units:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= 2,000 - 1,050
Margin of safety= 950 units
Sandhill, Inc. has a unit selling price of $920, variable cost per unit of $510, and total fixed costs of $280,850. Compute the break-even sales units and sales dollars.
Answer:
(A) 685 UNITS
(B) 630,200 DOLLARS
Explanation:
Variable cost + Fixed cost = Total Cost
The break-even sales units would be the number of units Sandhill Inc. will sell in order to break even; that is, in order for their total cost to equal their total revenue.
If break-even point is the point where TR = TC then it is the same point at which PROFIT = 0
Recall that profit is the positive difference between total revenue and total cost. The negative difference (that is when TR < TC) is called loss.
Let X be = the break-even quantity or number of units, then we have
920x = 510x + 280850
Remember that VC varies or increases with the number of units produced, and so it has the x attached to it in this equation. FC on the other hand remains the same, regardless of the number of units produced.
So the left hand side of the equation has the total revenue, while the right hand side of the equation has the total cost.
Solving algebraically.
920x - 510x = 280850
410x = 280850
x = 280850 ÷ 410 = 685
ANSWER 1
The break-even sales units is 685 units.
The second computation is Sales in Dollars; at break-even sales units.
This revenue or sales is derived thus: Price per unit x Number of units
$920 x 685units = $630,200
ANSWER 2
The break-even total sales or total revenue is $630,200

The company has net sales revenue of $3.6 million during 2018. The company's records also included the following information: Assets 12/31/17 12/31/18 Property, plant and equipment $ 2.3 million $ 2.5 million Licensing agreements $ 0.5 million $ 0.4 million Goodwill $ 0.3 million $ 0.3 million Investments $ 0.4 million $ 0.5 million What is the company's fixed asset turnover ratio for 2018
Answer:
1.5
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the company's fixed asset turnover ratio for 2018
Average Net Fixed Assets=3,600,000/ [(2,300,000 + 2,500,000)/2]
Average Net Fixed Assets=3,600,000/(4,800,000/2)
Average Net Fixed Assets=3,600,000/2,400,000
Average Net Fixed Assets = 1.5
Therefore the company's fixed asset turnover ratio for 2018 is 1.5
Department M had 2,000 units 56% completed in process at the beginning of June, 13,500 units completed during June, and 1,000 units 28% completed at the end of June. What was the number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for June if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories? a.14,780 units b.13,780 units c.12,660 units d.11,500 units
Answer:
c.12,660 units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What was the number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for June if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories
Using this formula
EUP (FIFO) = Completed Units + Ending units - Beginning units
Let plug in the formula
EUP (FIFO)=13,500 +( 1,000 x 28%)- (2,000 x 56%)
EUP (FIFO)= 13,500+280-$1120
EUP (FIFO)=12,660 units
Therefore the number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for June if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories is 12,660 units

You are the curator of a museum. The museum is running short of funds, so you decide to increase revenue. What should you do to increase revenue if the price elasticity of demand is 0.45? Lower the admission price Nothing, revenue is maximized at current admission price Raise the admission price
Answer:
The answer is "Raise the admission price ".
Explanation:
Users are indeed the museum's curator. The gallery is short of funds, so you decide to improve their revenue. Increase admittance price because demand in this situation is inelastic and higher pricing will lead to larger revenues which generate revenue when the online listing is 0.45.
It won't affect the level that is required. The revenue will increase due to the increase in the price as well as a price inelastic toll on the museum admission, therefore not adversely affected the market.
Lennon, Inc. is considering a five-year project that has an initial outlay or cost of $80,000. The respective future cash inflows from its project for years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are: $15,000, $25,000, $35,000, $45,000, and $55,000. Lennon uses the internal rate of return method to evaluate projects. What is Lennon's IRR

Sheridan Company has the following inventory data: July 1 Beginning inventory 36 units at $19 $684 7 Purchases 126 units at $20 2520 22 Purchases 18 units at $22 396 $3600 A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 60 units on hand. Using the LIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is
Answer:
$2436
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
total goods sold = (total inventory purchased + beginning inventory) - 60
(36 + 126 + 18) - 60
180 - 60
= 120
the 120 units sold would be taken from the inventory purchased on the 22nd and 7
(18 x 22) + [(120 - 18) x 20]
396 + 2040 = 2436

Coffee from Colombia last year was supplied at $9 per 10 pounds. This year the demand has decreased and that same supply of Colombia coffee is priced at $6 per 10 pounds. What will happen to supply of Colombian coffee this year
Answer:
There's a decrease in the quantity supplied
Explanation:
since there is a decrease in the price so it would impact the quantity supplied but not the supply as per the law of supply in the case when price reduced the quantity supplied so it should be reduced and vice versa
Since price reduced from $9 for 10 pounds to $6 for 10 poinds
So there is a decrease in the quantity supplied
