Information related to the financial transactions for a country is given as follows with values stated in billions of dollars. Gross domestic product (GDP) $4,000Transfer payments 500Corporate income taxes 50Social Security contributions 200Indirect business taxes 210Personal income taxes 250Undistributed corporate profits 25Depreciation 500Net income earned abroad for the country 0 Disposable income is:

$3,265. Disposable income is that income received by individuals which is available for consumption and saving (i.e., personal income minus personal income taxes). The example below demonstrates the calculation of disposable income: Gross domestic product (GDP) $4,000- Depreciation (500)= Net domestic product (NDP)(at mkt cost) $3,500- Indirect business taxes (210)= Net national income (NNI) (at factor cost) $3,290- Corporate income taxes ( 50)- Undistributed corporate profits ( 25)- Social Security contributions (200)+ Transfer payments 500 = PERSONAL INCOME $3,515- Personal income taxes (250)= DISPOSABLE INCOME $3,265

$3,515. Personal income is all income received by individuals whether earned or unearned and is computed before any deductions for personal income taxes. National income (NI) includes all income by American-used resources whether used/invested at home or abroad. Since all income earned is not received, we must adjust NI by deducting Social Security contributions, corporate income taxes and undistributed corporate taxes. Also, some income received is not earned and so we must add in transfer payments received by individuals, including such things as Social Security payments received, unemployment compensation, and welfare payments. Gross domestic product (GDP) $4,000- Depreciation (500)= Net domestic product (NDP)(at mkt cost) $3,500- Indirect business taxes (210)= Net national income (NNI) (at factor cost) $3,290- Corporate income taxes ( 50)- Undistributed corporate profits ( 25)- Social Security contributions (200)+ Transfer payments 500 = PERSONAL INCOME $3,515

In preparing the annual profit plan for the coming year, Wilkens Company wants to determine the cost behavior pattern of the maintenance costs. Wilkens has decided to use linear regression by employing the equation y = a + bx for maintenance costs. The prior year's data regarding maintenance hours and costs, and the results of the regression analysis are given here. Hours Maintenanceof Activity Costs Sum 4,480 $43,200Average 400 3,600 Average cost per hour = $9.00; a = 684.65; b = 7.2884; Standard error of a = 49.515; Standard error of b = .12126; Standard error of the estimate = 34.469; r2 = .99724. Based upon the data derived from the regression analysis, 420 maintenance hours in a month would mean the maintenance costs (rounded to the nearest dollar) would be budgeted at:

$3,746. In this problem, hours of activity is the independent variable (x) with maintenance costs (y) being dependent upon the level of activity achieved. Using the standard simple regression equation and the other information given: y = a + bxy = 684.65 + 7.2884x If maintenance activity (x) in a month is 420 hours, then maintenance costs for the month would be: y = 684.65 + 7.2884(420)= 684.65 + 3061.13= 3745.78= $3,746

A company wants to approximate the 12% annual interest rate based on a 365-day year it pays on its working capital loan. Which of the following terms should the company offer its customers?

1.00%, 15, net 45In order to approximate a 12% annual interest rate (based on a 365-day year), the company should offer its customers terms of 1.00%, 15, net 45.The effective interest rate is the rate that a borrower actually pays on a loan, not the rate stated on the loan document. The effective interest rate is a function of the number of times the debt is compounded during the year, the actual amount of interest paid, and the amount borrowed. The effective interest rate for offering customers a trade discount is computed as follows:365 × Percentage of Discount Total Credit Period − Discount Period 100% − Percentage of DiscountDiscount Part 1 Part 2 Rate 2.00%, 15, net 45 365 ÷ (45 - 15) = 12.17 2% ÷ 98% = 2.04% 24.8%1.00%, 15, net 45 365 ÷ (45 - 15) = 12.17 1% ÷ 99% = 1.01% 12.3%0.75%, 10, net 30 365 ÷ (30 - 10) = 18.25 0.75% ÷ 99.25% = 0.756% 13.8%0.50%, 10, net 30 365 ÷ (30 - 10) = 18.25 0.50% ÷ 99.50% = 0.503% 9.2%

A company is planning to market a new product. The original cost and profit calculations are as follows: Factory overhead (based on 40% direct labor) $120Gross profit (25% of sales) 220Direct materials 240Direct labor 300Total cost 660Selling price 880 When reviewing the final calculations, the controller found that direct labor should be 10% higher. Which of the following correctly calculates the selling price for the product?

1.33 × (($420 × 1.1) + $240) Currently, the sales price of the new product is 1.33 ($880 ÷ $660) times the total costs of $660. Therefore, we know that needs to remain constant. Next, we need to determine what to apply the 10% labor increase to. We know that direct labor ($300) is up 10% and that factory overhead ($120) is a direct function of direct labor. Therefore, we need to increase direct labor (DL) and factory overhead (FOH) by 10% (1.1 × $420). Lastly, to verify that we recoup our costs, we need to account for direct materials of $240. If we include the $120, we will be double-counting it as we already accounted for FOH when applying the 10% increase. Study Hint: Try and narrow this to two answer choices right off the bat and then work through the remaining two choices. Looking at the information given, we can see that the current sales price is 1.33 ($880 ÷ $660) of total cost. Therefore, we can eliminate the 1.25 choices immediately.

Select Co. had the following current-year financial statement relationships: Asset turnover 5Profit margin on sales 0.02 What was Select's current-year percentage return on assets?

10.0% Consider the following relationships: Profit margin on Sales = Income ÷ Sales or Income = Profit margin on sales × Sales Asset turnover = Sales ÷ Assets or Assets = Sales ÷ Asset turnover Return on assets = Income ÷ Assets In expanded fashion: Return on assets = (Profit margin on sales × sales) ÷ (Sales ÷ Asset turnover) or (Profit margin on sales × Sales × Asset turnover) ÷ Sales Since Sales cancels out: Return on assets = Profit margin on sales × Asset turnover= .02 × 5= .10 or 10%

Following is the balance sheet for Lisa's, Inc.: Lisa's, Inc.Balance SheetDecember 31, 20X2(in thousands)

10.6%. Return on common equity is computed by dividing net income by average common stockholders' equity. When computing this rate of return, average stockholders' equity should be used, especially in a period during which significant changes, like the sale of additional stock or the retirement of stock, have taken place. Lisa, Inc.'s, return on common equity for 20X2 is computed as follows: Net income (less preferred stock dividend) $35,000 − $5,000 = $30,000 Common stockholders' equityBeginning of year $275,000End of year $290,000Average commonstockholders' equity = ($275,000 + $290,000) / 2 = $282,500Return on common equity = $30,000 / $282,500 = 10.6%

A company has a 10% cost of borrowing and incurs fixed costs of $500 for obtaining a loan. It has stable, predictable cash flows and the estimated total amount of net new cash needed for transactions for the year is $175,000. The company does not hold safety stocks of cash. If the average cash balance for the company during the year is $20,916.50, then the opportunity cost of holding cash for the year will be

2,091.65. The opportunity cost of holding cash balances for the year is calculated as the average cash balance multiplied by the opportunity cost percentage. In this case, the opportunity cost of holding cash balances is best indicated by the cost of borrowing money since this is the only interest rate given in the problem. Opportunity cost = Average cash balance × Opportunity cost percentage= 20,916.50 × .10 = 2,091.65

Proportion of debt financing: $2,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000 = 40% Proportion of equity financing: $3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000 = 60% WACC is equal to weighted debt cost plus weighted equity cost: [40% × (3.7% × (1 - 20%)] + (60% × 3.5%) = 3.284%

Raster Corporation's balance sheet showed long-term debt of $520,000 with an interest rate of 4.3%. Raster's preferred stock is trading at $9.50 per share, while its common stock is selling at $4.60 per share. The estimated cost of equity is 5.3% and the company's effective income tax rate is 20%. How much is the cost of debt to be used in calculating the company's cost of capital?

3.44% The cost of debt is based upon the required rate of return for debt holders and the marginal tax rate for the issuing company. The cost of debt is based on an after-tax amount because interest expense on debt reduces income and taxes as well. It is calculated by multiplying the before-tax cost of debt times (1 - tax rate): Cost of long-term debt = Before-tax cost of debt × (1 - 20%)= 4.3% × (1 - 20%) = 3.44%

The manager will appear to have performed better than the actual performance level.

Maxgo Company is considering replacing its current computer system. The new system would cost Maxgo $60,000 to have it installed and operational. It would have an expected useful life of four years and an estimated salvage value of $12,000. The system would be depreciated on a straight-line basis for financial statement reporting purposes and use the modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) depreciation method for income tax reporting purposes. Assume that the percentages of depreciation for MACRS are 25%, 40%, 20%, and 15% for the 4-year life of the new computer. Maxgo's current computer system has been fully depreciated for both financial statement and income tax reporting purposes. It could be used for four more years, but not as effectively as the new computer system. The old system currently has an estimated salvage value of $8,000 and will have an estimated salvage value o

The net present value of the new system would be lower, and the investment would be judged less desirable.

The price elasticity of demand for a good is 2.0, and the quantity demanded is 5,000 units. The price increases by 10%. What is the new quantity demanded? 4,000

The price elasticity of demand is a measure of the responsiveness of consumers to a change in a product's price; price elasticity is equal to the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. The law of demand states that there is an inverse relationship between the price and quantity demanded of a product. Therefore, given a 10% increase in price, there would be a 20% decrease in quantity demanded (2.0 = 20% ÷ 10%). The new quantity demanded would be 4,000 units [5,000 - (5,000 × 0.20)].

ChemKing uses a standard costing system in the manufacture of its single product. The 35,000 units of raw material in inventory were purchased for $105,000, and two units of raw material are required to produce one unit of final product. In November, the company produced 12,000 units of product. The standard allowed for material was $60,000, and there was an unfavorable quantity variance of $2,500. The units of material used to produce November output totaled:

The units of material used totaled 25,000, calculated as follows: Standard price for Standard cost Units of one unit of material = Dollars allowed / material allowed (1) = $60,000 / (12,000 x 2) = $60,000 / 24,000 = $2.50 1 Total units allowed = Units raw material allowed per finished unit × Finished units produced Material variance Quantity Standard price in units = variance / for material = $2,500 / $2.50 = 1,000 units of material Actual units Units of Unfavorable of material used = material allowed + material variance(in units) = (12,000 x 2) + 1,000 = 24,000 + 1,000 = 25,000 units

a decrease in investment growth rates. "A decrease in investment growth rates" is not an effect of opening markets to foreign investment. The additional investment from foreign investors will increase investment in the market, thus increasing, not decreasing, the investment growth rate. The other answer choices are effects of opening markets to foreign investment: Opening a market to foreign investment will result in that market being subject to the same market forces that affect other markets, increasing the correlation of the market with other markets. Opening a market for foreign investment will change prices in the emerging stock market, resulting in a change to its volatility.

An automobile and personal property insurer has decentralized its information processing to the extent that headquarters had less processing capacity than any of its regional processing centers. These centers are responsible for initiating policies, communicating with policyholders, and adjusting claims. The company uses leased lines from a national telecommunications company. Initially, the company thought there would be little need for inter-region communication, but that has not been the case. The company underestimated the number of customers that would move between regions and the number of customers with claims arising from accidents outside their regions. The company has a regional center in an earthquake-prone area and is planning how to continue processing if that center, or any other single center, were unable to perform its processing.

Carol and Jane were sitting in the local coffee shop discussing Jane's possible strategies for constructing her investment portfolio. Carol suggested that Jane spend time reviewing the financial information for stocks she might consider purchasing and do some ratio analysis once she had obtained the information, but at the same time, it probably wouldn't be a good idea for Jane to attempt to predict the future movements of the markets. Jane said that she would think about these suggestions, but that she had come to believe the best approach would be for her to do her analysis using charts based on the historic market data using price and trading volume to predict the future movement of stock prices. Someone overhearing this conversation would believe that Jane wanted to use ________ and did not believe in the ________.

Amount in PesetasImports of goods 20,300Exports of goods 15,760Domestic purchases of assets in foreigncountries 6,300Foreign purchases of assets in the country 1,400Net investment income (3,700)Gifts received from abroad (net transfers) 1,240 When calculating the current account balance for this economy:

the current account has a deficit of Pta 7,000. 15760-20300-3700+1240=-7,000 Ptas The balance of trade is calculated by subtracting merchandise imports from merchandise exports (15,760 Ptas. - 20,300 Ptas.) which shows a balance of trade deficit of 4,540 Ptas. The negative net investment income (3,700 Ptas.) is added to this balance, and it would be reduced by the positive inflow of transfers (1,240 Ptas.) leaving a current account deficit balance of 7,000 Ptas. The two accounts dealing with the purchase of assets are part of the capital account and therefore are not relevant for this calculation. If there were any exports or imports or services, they would have been included in the calculation.

Sago Co. uses regression analysis to develop a model for predicting overhead costs. Two different cost drivers (machine hours and direct materials weight) are under consideration as the independent variable. Relevant data were run on a computer using one of the standard regression programs, with the following results: Machine Direct Materials Hours Weight Y intercept coefficient 2,500 4,600B coefficient 5.0 2.6R2 0.70 0.50 Which regression equation should be used?

y = 2,500 + 5.0x Coefficient of determination is a measure of the extent to which the independent variable accounts for the variation of the dependent variable (i.e., the amount of variation in y that is explained by x). It is the measure of how well the regression line fits the actual data points. The symbol for the correlation coefficient is R and the coefficient of determination is r squared (R2). Values of R range between -1 and 1. The closer the value is to 1, the greater the association (correlation) between the two variables. Since the coefficient of determination (R2) is greater for machine hours than for direct materials weight (0.7 instead of 0.5), there is a stronger relationship between machine hours (the independent variable) and the resulting cost than there is between the resulting cost and direct materials weight. Thus, the resulting cost can be best estimated by substituting machine hours for x in the equation y = 2,500 + 5.0x.
