Question Completion:
a. You are interested in looking at the impact of higher prices of imported oil in the overall cost of living.
b. The government is interested in whether increases in defense spending are affecting the price level.
c. An economic consulting firm is investigating the impact on the aggregate price level of more computers and electronic technology used in production.
Answer:
The GDP Deflator and the CPI
a. The CPI is used here, as its measure is not restricted to domestically produced goods and services.
b. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate here. Defense spending is not related to consumer goods and services but to government spending, which is a component of the GDP.
c. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate with this investigation. Computers and electronic technology used in production relate to business Investments, which are a component of the GDP and are not part of consumer goods and services or a component of the CPI.
Explanation:
The GDP deflator is exclusively used to measure the prices of all goods and services produced domestically in an economy and is based on the nominal or real GDP. On the other hand, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) is used to measure the weighted average prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, whether produced domestically or imported.

The €/$ spot exchange rate is €1.50/$ and the 120 day forward exchange rate is €1.45/$. The forward premium (discount) is Group of answer choices the dollar is trading at an 8% premium to the euro for delivery in 120 days. the dollar is trading at a 5% premium to the Swiss franc for delivery in 120 days. the dollar is trading at a 10% discount to the euro for delivery in 120 days. the dollar is trading at a 5% discount to the euro for delivery in 120 days.
Answer:
The forward premium (discount) is:
the dollar is trading at a 10% discount to the euro for delivery in 120 days.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Spot exchange rate = €1.50/$
120 day forward exchange rate = €1.45/$
When the forward rate is less than the spot rate, the means that the currency is trading at a discount in the forward market.
The formula for calculating the forward premium or discount is:
= (Forward Rate Minus Spot Rate)/Forward Rate * 360/120
= (€1.45 - €1.50)/€1.45 * 360/120
= €-0.05/€1.45 * 3
= €-0.03448 * 3 = -10.3%
b) The forward premium occurs when the forward exchange rate is higher than the spot exchange rate. The forward discount occurs when the forward exchange rate is lower than the spot exchange rate. Forward premium or discount is normally expressed as the annualized percentage of the difference, using 360 days.

Prepare appropriate adjusting entries at December 31, 2021. 2. What amount would be reported in the income statement at December 31, 2021, as a result of the adjusting entry
Answer and Explanation:
1. The adjusting entry is
Net unrealised holding gain or loss $45,000 ($85,000 - $40,000)
To Fair value adjustment $45,000
(being net unrealized holding gain or loss is recorded)

Virginia owns 100% of Goshawk Company. In the current year, Goshawk Company sells a capital asset (held for three years) at a loss of $40,000. In addition, Goshawk has a short-term capital gain of $18,000 and net operating income of $90,000 during the year. Virginia has no recognized capital gain (or loss) before considering her ownership in Goshawk. How much of the capital loss may be deducted for the year, and how much is carried back or forward if Goshawk is (a) a proprietorship and (b) a C corporation
Answer:
a. IF Goshawk Company is a sole proprietorship, it will deduct a total of $21,000 ($18,000 offset against the capital gain and $3,000 deducted from net operating income) of the $40,000 capital loss and carry forward the remaining $19,000 to subsequent years.
b. IF Goshawk Company is a C corporation, it will carry back and forward the remaining $22,000 to be deducted from its net operating income for previous or future years, after offsetting $18,000 from the $18,000 short-term capital gain.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Long-term capital loss = $40,000
Short-term capital gain = $18,000
Capital loss remaining = $22,000 ($40,000 - $18,000)
Net operating income = $90,000
The security market line (SML) is:__________
a) the line that represents the expected return-beta relationship.
b) All of the options.
c) also called the capital allocation line.
d) the line that describes the expected return-beta relationship for well-diversified portfolios only.
e) the line that is tangent to the efficient frontier of all risky assets.
Answer: a) the line that represents the expected return-beta relationship
Explanation:
The security market line simply refers to a line that is drawn on a chart and it is simply a representation of capital asset pricing model as it shows the expected return-beta relationship.
The graphical representation depicts the risk of the securities, against their expected return. Therefore, the correct option is A.
Your farm encompasses 900 acres, and you are planning to grow soybeans, corn, and wheat in the coming planting season. Fertilizer costs per acre are: $5 for soybeans, $2 for corn, and $1 for wheat. You estimate that each acre of soybeans will require an average of 5 hours of labor per week, while tending to corn and wheat will each require an average of 2 hours per week. Based on past yields and current market prices, you estimate a profit of $9,000 for each acre of soybeans, $6,000 for each acre of corn, and $3,000 for each acre of wheat. You can afford to spend no more than $5,400 on fertilizer, and your farm laborers can supply 5,400 hours per week. How many acres of each crop should you plant to maximize total profits
Answer:
Using solver, the optimal solution = 900 acres of soybean resulting in $8,100,000 profit
Explanation:
you need to maximize 9000S + 6000C + 3000W
where:
S = acres of soybean
C = acres of corn
W = acres of wheat
constraints:
S + C + W ≤ 900
5S + 2C + 1W ≤ 5400
5S + 2C + 2W ≤ 5400
S, C, W ≥ 0
S, C, W are whole numbers
Using solver, the optimal solution = 900 acres of soybean resulting in $8,100,000 profit
A company purchased $10,000 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 3/10, n/45, and FOB shipping point. The freight charge, $500, was added to the invoice amount. On June 20, it returned $800 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it is entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals:
Answer:
the cash paid as on June 24 is $9,424
Explanation:
The computation of the cash paid as on June 24 is as follows:
= Merchandise cost + Freight charge - Purchase returns - Discount Eligible at 3%
= $10,000 + $500 - $800 - [($10,000 - $800) × 0.03]
= $10,000 + $500 - $800 - $276
= $9,424
Hence, the cash paid as on June 24 is $9,424
Manufacturing overhead for the month was overapplied by $3,600. The Corporation allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the manufacturing overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The work in process inventory at the end of March after allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is closest to: (Round intermediate percentage computations to the nearest whole percent.)
Answer: $19,648
Explanation:
This question is missing details that I could not find so I will answer with a similar question. You can use it to answer yours.
Work in process inventory at the end of March= Work in Process - Overapplied Manufacturing overhead overhead allocated to WIP
Percentage of overhead that went towards WIP:
= Manufacturing overhead applied to WIP/ Total overhead
= 5,830 / 51,920
= 11% (nearest whole percent)
Overapplied Overhead going allocated to WIP:
= Percentage of overhead to WIP * Overapplied overhead for the month
= 11% * $4,200
= $462
Work in process inventory at end of March = 20,110 - 462
= $19,648
The year-end financial statements of Calloway Company contained the following elements and corresponding amounts: Assets = $32,000, Liabilities = ?
Common Stock = $6,200:
Revenue = $13,400,
Dividends = $1,350,
Beginning Retained Earnings = $4,350
Ending Retained Earnings - $8,200
The amount of liabilities reported on the end-of-period balance sheet was:_________
a) $10.550
b) $17.600
c) $21.450
d) $12.550
Answer:
b) $17.600
Explanation:
The computation of the liabilities is shown below:
As we know that
Total assets = Total liabilities + total equity
$32,000 = Total liabilities + $8,200 + $6,200
So, the total liabilities is
= $32,000 - $8,200 - $6,200
= $17,600
hence, the option b is correct
A company issues a callable (at par) five-year, 7% coupon bond with annual coupon payments. The bond can be called at par in one year after release or any time after that on a coupon payment date. On release, it has a price of $110 per $100 of face value. What is the yield to worst of this bond in percentage when it is released
Answer:
the worse case scenario is that the bond yields -2.73%
Explanation:
the worst case scenario is that the bonds are called one year after they are issued.
you invest $110 today
in one year, you will receive $100 + $7 = $107
your holding period return = ($107 - $110) / $110 = -0.02727 ≈ -2.73%
generally callable bonds are sold at lower prices than regular bonds, so a situation like this is very unlikely since the issue price should probably be lower.
Milton Friedman argued that: appropriate antitrust policy can prevent businesses from causing inflation. inflation is a phenomenon of capitalist economies. prices need to be regulated and set by the government to prevent inflation. general price level increases result from the government printing too much money.
Answer:
Prices need to be regulated and set by the government to prevent inflation.
Explanation:
Milton Friedman was a monetarist. Monetarists believe in the quantity theory of money which states that inflation is a direct result of the growth of the amount of money in an economy. One of the most famous quotes by Friedman is "Inflation is always, and everywhere, a monetary phenomenon".
Under this reasoning, Friedman proposed that the government should control the money supply in order to address and maintain a stable price level, in other words, low inflation.
Friedman policies were implemented in the U.S. since the late 1970s, and emulated in most other countries in the world. Ever since, the monetary policy of most countries in the world has been aimed at controlling inflation and keeping it low.
One problem with using market values to measure GDP is that A. some useful goods and services are not sold in markets. B. you cannot compare completely heterogeneous goods by using their dollar values. C. prices for some goods change every year. D. market values of exported goods are usually priced in foreign currencies.
Answer:
C. prices for some goods change every year.
Explanation:
The reason why the real GDP (GDP adjusted to inflation) is a much better economic index than nominal GDP is that prices change over time, even if the quantities produced do not. It is actually possible for nominal GDP to increase even if total production output decreases due solely to high inflation rates.
A supply curve is upward-sloping because At higher prices sellers have a greater incentive to produce more, ceteris paribus. The law of supply states that as price rises, the quantity supplied increases. At lower prices sellers may not be covering their costs of production and are therefore willing to supply less. All of the answers are correct.
Answer:
All of the answers are correct.
Explanation:
The law of supply states that in a production process when the price of. Commodity increases the suppliers are more willing to supply more goods, while when price falls suppliers tend to supply less goods.
This is as a result of lower motivation to sell at a lower price where profit margins are low. The higher the price the more the profit made so they are more motivated.
Also when prices are too low the suppliers may barely cover their cost of production so they tend to supply less.
Attached is a diagram of the supply curve

Universal Containers is rolling out a new customer service process. Customer service managers will need to edit cases for their subordinates, but not cases for other groups. Managers and users should be able to view all cases. What is the recommended solution to configure this
Answer:
I. Create standard role hierarchies.
II. Set organization-wide sharing defaults to public read/only.
Explanation:
Workflow management systems can be defined as a strategic software application or program designed to avail companies the infrastructure to setup, define, create and manage the performance or execution of series of sequential tasks, as well as respond to workflow participants. Some examples of workflow management systems used around the world; YAWL, Windows Workflow Foundation, Apache ODE, Collective Knowledge, Workflow Gen, PRPC, Salesforce.com, jBPM, Bonita BPM etc.
In this scenario, Universal Containers is rolling out a new customer service process. Customer service managers will need to edit cases for their subordinates, but not cases for other groups. Managers and users should be able to view all cases. Therefore, the recommended solution to configure this are;
I. Create standard role hierarchies: this is to represent the various end users such as managers and their subordinates.
II. Set organization-wide sharing defaults to public read/only: this settings or feature would make it impossible for any user outside of the group (owner) to edit the cases. They will only be able to view but not modify.
the federal government has Group of answer choices separate capital and operating budgets only a capital budget an operating budget only a single budget that includes both operating expenses and capital spending
Answer:
A single budget that includes both operating expenses and capital spending.
Explanation:
A budget can be defined as a financial plan used for the estimation of revenue and expenditures of an individual, organization or government for a specified period of time, often one year. Budgets are usually compiled, analyzed and re-evaluated on periodic basis.
In the preparation of a budget, a list of each type of income and expense with respect to the budget is generally considered to be the first step. Also, the final step is making necessary adjustments to the budget by the top executive.
The federal government has a single budget that includes both operating expenses and capital spending on a cash basis.
Additionally, the benefits of having a budget is that it aids in setting goals, earmarking revenues and resources, measuring outcomes and planning against contingencies.
Henry is a manager in an operations department in a computer manufacturing company. He thoroughly studied the production process and calculated how long it takes to get the job done.

A project has been assigned a discount rate of 12 percent. If the project starts immediately, it will have an initial cost of $480 and cash inflows of $350 a year for three years. If the start is delayed one year, the initial cost will rise to $520 and the cash flows will increase to $385 a year for three years. What is the value of the option to wait
Answer: $0.70
Explanation:
The value of the option to wait would be calculated thus:
Year Cash flow PVF at 12% PV
0 $-480 1.000 $(480.00)
1 $350 0.893 $312.50
2 $350 0.797 $279.02
3 $350 0.712 $249.12
Then, the Net present value will be:
= 312.50 + 279.02 + 249.12 - 480.00
= $360.64
Year Cash flow PVF at 12%. PV

Explanation:
acquired: Firm A has a margin of 11%, sales of $610,000, and ROI of 17%. Calculate the firm's average total assets. Firm B has net income of $72,000, turnover of 1.40, and average total assets of $920,000. Calculate the firm's sales, margin, and ROI. Firm C has net income of $136,000, turnover of 2.01, and ROI of 23.40%. Calculate the firm's margin, sales, and average total assets.
Answer:
1. Firm's average total assets = Net Income/ROI = $610,000*0.11 / 0.17 = $394,705.88
2. Sales = Assets turnover ratio * Average total assets = 1.40*920,000 = $1,288,000
Margin = Net Income / Sales = $72,000/$1,288,000 = 0.06
ROI = Net Income / Average Total Assets = $72,000/920,000 = 0.078
3. Average Total Assets = Net Income / ROI = $136,000/23.40% = 136,000/0.2340 = $581,196.58
Sales = Assets turnover ratio * Average total assets= 2.01*$581,196.58 = $1,168,205.12
Margin = Net Income / Sales = $136,000/$1,168,205.12 = 0.1164
Based on past experience, Maas Corp. (a U.S.-based company) expects to purchase raw materials from a foreign supplier at a cost of 1,000,000 francs on March 15, 2021. To hedge this forecasted transaction, on December 15, 2020, the company acquires a call option to purchase 1,000,000 francs in three months. Maas selects a strike price of $0.58 per franc when the spot rate is $0.58 and pays a premium of $0.005 per franc. The spot rate increases to $0.584 at December 31, 2020, causing the fair value of the option to increase to $7,500. By March 15, 2021, when the raw materials are purchased, the spot rate has climbed to $0.59, resulting in a fair value for the option of $10,000. The raw materials are used in assembling finished products, which are sold by December 31, 2021, when Maas prepares its annual financial statements. Prepare all journal entries for the option hedge of a forecasted transaction and for the purchase of raw materials. What is the overall impact on net income over the two accounting periods

East Bay Semiconductor, Inc., currently a small private company, plans to go public via an initial public offering (IPO) and will issue 10 million shares of stock. It is hoping to sell the shares for an offer price of $25. It hires an investment bank, which suggests that the offer price for the stock should be $20 per share to ensure that all the shares can be easily sold. 5. What is the advantage of following the advice of the investment bankers? What is the disadvantage? Is the investment bank’s incentive to sell the shares aligned with the incentives of East Bay Semi? What trade-off does East Bay Semi face in this decision regarding the issue price? Briefly explain
Answer:
What is the advantage of following the advice of the investment bankers? What is the disadvantage?
Whenever a small company decides to carry out an IPO, the risk of not selling all the stocks exists and it has happened many times before. East Bay's executives probably believe that their company is the next Apple or Microsoft, or any other super huge high tech corporation. But the reality is that it is not. If the IPO goes on and not all the stocks are sold, the stock price will plummet by the end of the trading day.
On the other hand, maybe East Bay in a couple of years will be worth more than Tesla, Amazon or any other top corporation, and pricing their stocks too low will only result in losing money.
Actually, no two analysts in the world ever agree on the exact intrinsic price of stocks. Even though math should be the same and they all use the same formulas, several factors are considered differently.
What is currency in economics
Answer:
Currency, in industrialized nations, portion of the national money supply, consisting of bank notes and government-issued paper money and coins, that does not require endorsement in serving as a medium of exchange; among less developed societies, currency encompasses a wide diversity of items (e.g., livestock, stone carvings, tobacco) used as exchange media as well as signs of value or wealth. In the developed nations, where checks drawn on demand deposits are an important means of transaction, currency may actually account for only a small portion of the total money supply
Explanation:
Since the abandonment of the gold standard in the 1930s, governments have not been obligated to repay the holders of currency in any form of precious metal. Consequently the volume of currency is determined by the actions of the government or central bank and not by the supply of precious metals.

The Retained earnings account has a credit balance of $39,000 before closing entries are made. Total revenues for the period are $57,200, total expenses are $40,800, and dividends are $9800. What is the correct closing entry for the expense accounts?
Answer:
Debit income summary $40,800
Credit expense accounts $40,800
Explanation:
The correct closing entry for expense account would be to debit the income summary for $40,800 and then credit the expense accounts for $40,800.
Here, other items such as revenue, retained earnings and dividends would all be ignored because we were specifically asked to get the correct closing entry for expense account, hence; only expense value would be considered.
