As we know that
Gross domestic product = Consumption + Investment + Government purchase + Net exports
where,
Net exports = Exports - imports
It is the finailzed value of all goods and services that are produced and consumed within the boundary
These are the 5 parts of the gross domestic product. by this we can easily calculate the gross domestic product
Based on the above, the classifications are as follows
Dmitri's employer upgrades all of its computer systems using U.S.-made parts. = Investment as it upgrades all the computer system
Frances gets a new refrigerator made in the United States. = Consumption. As the new refrigerator consume accrodinhg to the need
Dmitri buys a bottle of Italian wine. = Import and consumption. It is an import plus consumption first it is purchased and then after purchasing it is consumed
The state of Pennsylvania repaves highway PA 320, which goes through the center of Swarthmore. = Government purchase as it is for the benefit of the general public
Frances's father in Sweden orders a bottle of Vermont maple syrup from the producer's website. = export as it is for the third party so the same come under the export

The new car you just purchased cost $25,499. You have saved $3,240 for the down payment (made at the time of purchase) and will finance the rest through a fully amortized installment loan from the car dealer. This loan has an interest rate of 5.25% compounded monthly and required an equal monthly payment for the next 72 months. Which of the following best represents the payment on interest (145)and principal (P45) associated with the 45th monthly payment?
1(45) = $1.02, P(45) = $360.05
1(45) = $0.03, P(45) = $361.04
I(45) = $274.89, P(45) = $86.17
|(45) = $41.54, P(45) = $319.52
Answer:
The correct option is |(45) = $41.54, P(45) = $319.52
Explanation:
Loan amount = Price - Down payment = $25499 - $3240 = $22259
Monthly interest rate = i = 5.25%÷ 12 = 0.004375
Number of installments = n =72
Monthly installment=$22,259 × (A/P,0.004375,72)
Calculating the interest factor;
[tex]\small (A/P,i,n)=\frac{i}{1-\frac{1}{(1+i)^{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]\small (A/P,0.004375,72)[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.004375}{1-\frac{1}{(1+0.004375)^{72}}}[/tex] = 0.0162212
So,
Monthly installment=$22259 × 0.0162212= $361.0677
Now let us calculate the balance after 44th payment
B(44)= [$22,259 × (F/P,0.004375,44)] - [$361.0677 × (F/A,0.004375,44) ]
Calculating the interest factor;
(F/P,0.004375,44) = [tex](1+0.004375)^{44}[/tex] = 1.2117676
[tex]\small (F/A,i,n)[/tex] = [tex]\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1}{i}[/tex]
[tex]\small (F/A,0.004375,44)[/tex] = [tex]\frac{(1+0.004375)^{44}-1}{0.004375}[/tex] = 48.4040257
So,
B(44)= [$22,259 × 1.2117676] - [$361.0677 × 48.4040257] = $9495.6532
So, interest for 45th payment = I(45) = Balance due × Monthly interest rate
=9495.6532 ×0.004375
= $41.54
Principal associated with 45th payment=Monthly installment-Interest payment
=$361.0667 - $41.5435
= $319.5232
≅$319.52
In the current year, Norris, an individual, has $59,000 of ordinary income, a net short-term Capital loss (NSTCL) of $9,100 and a net long-term capital gain (NLTCG) of $3,700. From his capital gains and losses, Norris reports:
A. an offset against ordinary income of $9,800
B. an offset against ordinary income of $3,000 and a NSTCL carryforward of $6,900
C. an offset against ordinary income of $3,000 and a NSTCL carryforward of $3,900
D. an offset against ordinary income of $3,000 and a NSTCL carryforward of $6,800
E. an offset against ordinary income of $2,900 and a NSTCL carryforward of $6,900
Answer: an offset against ordinary income of $3,000 and a NSTCL carryforward of $2,400
Explanation:
Feom the question, we are told that in the current year, Norris, an individual, has $59,000 of ordinary income, a net short-term Capital loss (NSTCL) of $9,100 and a net long-term capital gain (NLTCG) of $3,700.
From his capital gains and losses, Norris reports an an offset against ordinary income of $3,000 and the a net short-term Capital loss (NSTCL) balance carryforward will be the difference between the net short-term Capital loss (NSTCL) of $9,100 and a net long-term capital gain (NLTCG) of $3,700 and the offset against ordinary income. This will be:
= ($9100 - $3700) - $3000
= $5400 - $3000
= $2400
operates department stores in numerous states. Suppose selected financial statement data (in millions) for 2020 are presented below. End of Year Beginning of Year Cash and cash equivalents $ 770 $ 69 Accounts receivable (net) 1,950 1,880 Inventory 810 860 Other current assets 590 331 Total current assets $4,120 $3,140 Total current liabilities $2,030 $1,640 For the year, net credit sales were $8,258 million, cost of goods sold was $5,328 million, and net cash provided by operating activities was $1,251 million. Compute the current ratio, accounts receivable turnover, average collection period, inventory turnover and days in inventory at the end of the current year. (Round current ratio to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.83 and all other answers to 1 decimal place, e.g. 1.8. Use 365 days for calculation.) Current ratio :1 Accounts receivable turnover times Average collection period days Inventory turnover times Days in inventory days
Answer and Explanation:
The formulas and calculations are shown below:
1. Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities
= $4,120 ÷ $2,030
= 2.03 times
2. Account receivable turnover
= Net credit sales ÷ Average accounts receivable
where,
Net credit sales is $8,258 million
And, the Average accounts receivable would be
= (Accounts receivable, beginning of year + Accounts receivable, end of year) ÷ 2
= ($1,880 + $1,950) ÷ 2
= $1,915
So, the accounts receivable turnover ratio would be
= $8,258 ÷ $1,915
= 4.3 times
3. Average collection period is
= Total number of days in a year ÷ account receivable turnover ratio
= 365 days ÷ 4.31 times
= 84.6 days
4. Inventory turnover ratio =
= Cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory
where,
Average inventory = (Opening balance of inventory + ending balance of inventory) ÷ 2
= ($860 + $810) ÷ 2
= $835 million
And, the cost of good sold is $5,328 million
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the answer would be equal to
= $5,328 million ÷ $835 million
= 6.4 times
5. Days in inventory
= Total number of days in a year ÷ inventory turnover ratio
= 365 days ÷ 6.38 times
= 57.2 days

A prospective MBA student earns $55,000 per year in her current job and expects that amount to increase by 7% per year. She is considering leaving her job to attend business school for two years at a cost of $40,000 per year. She has been told that her starting salary after business school is likely to be $100,000 and that amount will increase by 10% per year. Consider a time horizon of 10 years, use a discount rate of 13%, and ignore all considerations not explicitly mentioned here.
Assume all cash flows occur at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now, two years from now,..., nine years from now). Also assume that the choice can be implemented immediately so that for the MBA alternative the current year is the first year of business school.
What is the net present value of the more attractive alternative?
Please round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
The net present value of the more attractive alternative is the MBA alternative which is = $ 495,894
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
An MBA student earns = $55,000 per year on her present job
The expected amount increase = 7%
She considers leaving her job to attend business school at cost of =$40,000
Starting salary after business school= $ 100,00
Per year increment of amount = 10%
Number of years = 10
Discount rate = 13%
Now,
The present Net value of the present Job alternative = $ 435,568.05
or 435,568
Thus,
The present Net value of the MBA alternative = $ 495,893.60

Saul Company purchased a tractor at a cost of $180,000. The tractor has an estimated salvage value of $20,000 and an estimated life of 8 years, or 12,000 hours of operation. The tractor was purchased on January 1, 2019 and was used 2,400 hours in 2019 and 2,200 hours in 2020. What amount will Saul Company report as depreciation expense over the 8-year life of the equipment using straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $20,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
cost= $180,000.
The tractor has an estimated salvage value of $20,000 and an estimated life of 8 years
Under the straight-line depreciation method, the depreciation expense remains constant during the useful life. We need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (180,000 - 20,000)/8
Annual depreciation= $20,000

present value of annual savings=$20,000/(1+12%)^1+$16,000/(1+12%)^2+$12,000/(1+12%)^3=$39,153.61
-$1800= $39,153.61 -initial investment
initial investment=$ 39,153.61+$1800=$40953.61
The correct option is the option C,$40,956 which is closest to $40953.61 ,the difference arose from rounding errors when the discount factors were rounded to to three decimal places instead of using the exact figures
Assume that on October 1st Lee Corporation purchases all of the assets of Kay Corporation for $510,000. All of the identifiable assets of Kay Corporation have a fair market value of $420,000, including the patent, which has a fair market value of $36,000. Also, a covenant not to compete for 3 years costing $72,000 is included in the purchase agreement.
Required:
a. If lee Corporation purchases the patent for $36,000, how much amortization expense may Lee Corporation deduct in the current year?
b. Assume that Lee Corporation purchases all of the assets of Kay Corporation for $510,000. All of the identifiable assets of Kay Corporation have a fair market value of $420,000, including the patent, which has a fair market value of $36,000. Also, a covenant not to compete for 3 years costing $72,000 is included in the purchase agreement. How much amortization expense may Lee Corporation deduct in the current year?
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
a) Assume Remaining life = 10 years
Corporation purchases the patent = $36,000
Current Amortization Value (October to December)
= (Purchase Value of Patent ÷ Remaining Life) × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year
= ($36,000 ÷ 10) × 3 months ÷ 12 months
= $3,600 × 3 months ÷ 12 months
= $900
Lee Corporation deducted $900 amortization expenses in the current year.
b).Goodwill
= Assets Purchasing Value of Kay Corporation - Assets Purchasing Fair Market Value of Kay Corporation
= $510,000 - $420,000
= $90,000
Assume amortization period is = 15 years as it is for trade or business
Current Amortization Value (October to December)
= (Goodwill + Fair Market Value of Patent + Costing of 3 Years ÷ Amortization Period) × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year
= ($90,000 + $36,000 + $72,000 ÷ 15) × 3 months ÷ 12 months
= $13,200 × 3 months ÷ 12 months
= $3,300
Lee Corporation deducted $3,300 amortization expenses in the current year.

These maintenance costs should have been recorded as debits to ‘Maintenance Expense’ but the company mistakenly capitalized these costs instead. Which of the following is true?
A. Total Assets are overstated as of May 31, 2020 and May 2020 Net Income is overstated.
B. Total Assets are overstated as of May 31, 2020 and May 2020 Net Income is properly stated.
C. Total Assets are understated as of May 31, 2020 and May 2020 Net Income is understated.
D. Both Total Assets as of May 31, 2020 and May 2020 Net Income are properly stated.
Answer: A. Total Assets are overstated as of May 31, 2020 and May 2020 Net Income is overstated
Explanation:
Capitalizing the costs of the maintenance means that the $14,000 was taken to the Machinery Account which is an asset when in fact it should have been taken to the Maintenance Expense account which is an expense. This will increase the Asset account for May by $14,000 when it should not have meaning that the Asset account is now Overstated.
Net Income is acquired by deducting expenses from Sales/Revenue. The $14,000 which should never have been recorded as an Asset but instead as an expense, will mean that this Expense will not be deducted from the Net Income because it is being recognized as an Asset. This will mean that the Net Income for May will be Overstated by $14,000 which was supposed to be removed from it.

January 1, $200,000September 30, $300,000December 31, $300,000Answer:
$20,435.50
Explanation:
the weighted average method for calculating interest expense calculates weighted interest rates based on the interest expense of more than one outstanding debt:
$782,000 x 10% = $78,200$4,660,000 x 7% = $326,200total interest expense = $404,400weighted interest rate = $404,400 / ($782,000 + $4,660,000) = 7.4311%
average accumulated expenditure:
January 1: $200,000 x 12/12 = $200,000
September 30: $300,000 x 3/12 = $75,000
December 31: $300,000 x 0/12 = $0
total = $275,000
interest expense = $275,000 x 7.4311% = $20,435.50
Henry Ford invented mass production. In doing so, he perfected the assembly line concept in which each worker does only one job or a handful of jobs and is given little other responsibility. This worked well for 70 years; however, it became apparent in the 1990s that an increasing number of U.S. companies could not produce a high-quality product by sticking to the assembly line model. What has changed?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options provided or another reference, we can say that what has changed from that old conception to produce goods is the customization of products and attention to detail to differentiate the product from the competition and the more efficient production line with the use of robots and modern technology. That is what is making the difference today, in a competitive market full of companies that try to capture the loyalty of the consumer.
No more production line in the old way. Today, companies are asking consumers what they want and how they want it and are making every single effort possible to provide the exact product.
During the planning process, if there is a gap between future desired sales and projected sales, corporate management will need to develop or acquire new businesses to fill it. Identify and describe the three strategies that can be used to fill the strategic gap.
Answer:
They are:
1) Intensive growth
2) Integrative growth
3) Diversification growth
Explanation:
1. Intensive growth:
This involves identifying further growth opportunities that are available within existing businesses. It identifies new customer groups for growth within current businesses, develop additional distribution channels or selling in new markets such as those in other countries. If this is insufficient the company may look into Integrative growth.
2. Integrative growth:
The second involves involves backward, forward, or horizontal integration. Horizontal integration involves buying smaller competitors.
Backward integration reaches into value chain to get suppliers. Forward involves buying distribution channels in the value chain closest to the customer. Integrative growth identifies opportunities to acquire businesses that are in relation to current businesses.
3. Diversification:
Diversification growth is to identify opportunities so as to add attractive unrelated businesses

A 5% coupon, 18-year annual bond has a yield to maturity of 6.2%. Assuming the par value is $1,000 and the YTM does not change over the next year, what will the price of the bond be today
Answer:
Price of Bond=$871.997
Explanation:
The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.
Price of Bond = PV of interest payment + PV of redemption value
PV of interest payment
interest payment = 5%× 1,000 = $50
PV = A × (1- 1+r)^(-n)/r
r- 6.2%, n- 18, A- 50
PV = 50 × (1 -1.062^(-18))/0.062=533.341
PV of redemption
PV = FV × (1+r)^(-n)
PV = 1,000 × 1.062^(-18)= 338.655
Price of the stock = 533.3419 + 338.655
Price of Bond=$871.997
In which step of the planning process to managers identify the priorities and trade-offs among goals and plans
Answer:
Selection of goals and plans
Explanation:
When engaging in a project, the different stages involved can be broadly categorized into four. These include; the selection of goals and plans, the monitoring of these goals and plans, the implementation and evaluation of them.
The selection of the goals and plans is the first stage of the project planning. At this stage, goals as well as problems to be solved are identified. Trade-offs measure the quality of the project, while factoring in time and cost. Having an idea of the final quality would help in making changes possible along the course of the project.
This stage is then followed by the build up stage where goals are monitored and means to achieve them are initiated. The implementation and evaluation of these goals then follow.

A dealer buys 10,000 shares of ABC common at $20 for its inventory. One week later the stock is quoted at $22 - $23, and a customer sells 100 shares to the dealer at a net price of $21. Under the FINRA 5% Policy, a fair and reasonable mark-down is based upon which price?
Answer:
$22
Explanation:
According to the FINRA 5% Policy the mark-down if the customer sell must always be calculated from the inside bid price which is here $22 and if the customer is a buyer then the mark-up must be calculated using the inside ask price which is here $23. As the customer here is seller, hence the inside bid price $22 was appropriate here according to the FINRA 5% policy.
FINRA 5% policy says that the broker can not charge commissions, or markups or markdowns which is more than 5% on standard trades.
So the commission of $2 ($23-$21) is not allowed under this rule hence the appropriate price for the stock must be $22 not $21.
Which of the following statements is true regarding the Unrealized Loss on Investments account
A) It is contra to the Allowance to Adjust Short Term Investments to Market Value
B) It is reported on the income statement when it pertains to short term investments
C) It is debited when securities are sold for less than their purchase price
D) It is not reported on the financial statements; only realized gains and losses are reported
Answer:
B) It is reported on the income statement when it pertains to short term investments
Explanation:
Unrealised loss is defined as a reduction in the value of an asset that is held by an investor rather than selling it and realising a loss.
Unrealised loss is also called paper loss. This loss is not realised until the asset is sold.
Unrealised losses are not usually recorded on the income statement unless they intend to be sold in a short time.
When a security is to be sold in the short run it is called a trading security. Trading securities are represented in the income statement as they can increase or reduce income

a. Calculate the current ratio
b. Calculate the average collection period.
c. Calculate the debt ratio.
d. Calculate the total asset turnover ratio.
e. Calculate the operating profit margin
f. Calculate the inventory turnover ratio
Answer:
a. current ratio = 1.98
b. average collection period = 32.85 days
c. debt ratio = 35,56%
d. total asset turnover ratio = 1.11 times
e. operating profit margin = 47,50%
f. inventory turnover ratio = 2 times
Explanation:
a. current ratio
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
= 3,075,000 / 1,550,000
= 1.98
b. average collection period.
Average collection period = Accounts Receivable / (Sales / 365)
= 900,000 / (10,000,000 / 365)
= 32.85 days
c. debt ratio.
Debt ratio = Interest bearing debt / Total Assets × 100
= (700,000+2,500,000)/ 9,000,000 × 100
= 35,56%
d. total asset turnover ratio.
Total asset turnover ratio = Sales / Total Assets
= 10,000,000 / 9,000,000
= 1.11 times
e. operating profit margin
Operating profit margin = Operating Profit / Sales × 100
= (4,550,000+200,000) / 10,000,000 × 100
= 47,50%
f. inventory turnover ratio
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of Sales / Inventory
= 3,000,000 / 1,500,000
= 2 times
Find the account balance at the end of the second period for $3,000.00 invested at 9% compounded quarterly.
Answer:
A = $3136.51875
Explanation:
Given that :
The principal = $3,000.00
Rate = 9%
Time = 6 months
Since the amount is compounded quarterly;
r = 9/4 = 2.25 %
t = 6 months = 2 quarter
Using the formula:
A = P(1+r/100)^t
A = 3000.00(1+ 2.25/100)^2
A = 3000.00( 1+ 0.0225)^2
A = 3000.00 (1.0225)^2
A = 3000.00 (1.04550625)
A = $3136.51875

Karen White is saving to buy a house in five years. She plans to put 20 percent down at that time, and she believes that she will need $29,000 for the down payment. If Karen can invest in a fund that pays 9.40 percent annual interest, compounded quarterly, how much will she have to invest today to have enough money for the down payment
Answer:
$ 7,196.59
Explanation:
To determine the the amount that should be invested today, we will workout a sum that will be invested today at 9.40% that would amount to 29,000 five(5 ) years time.
FV = PV ×(1+r/)^n/m
r = 9.40/4= 2.35 per quarter
29,000= PV × (1.0235)^(5×12)
29,000 =PV × 4.029682413
= 29,000/4.029682413
PV = 7,196.59
The amount that should be invested today to have enough money
$ 7,196.59
Suppose you have $200,000 in a bank term account. You earn 5% interest per
annum from this account.
You anticipate that the inflation rate will be 4% during the year. However, the
actual inflation rate for the year is 6%.
Calculate the impact of inflation on the bank term deposit you have and
examine the effects of inflation in your city of residence with attention to food
and accommodation expenses.
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Account balance or principal = $200,000
Interest rate per annum = 5% = 0.05
Actual inflation rate for the year = 6% = 0.06
Period = 1 year
Amount at the end of one year:
Principal × ( period + interest rate)
$200,000 × ( 1 + 0.05)
$200,000 × (1.05) = $210,000
With anticipated inflation rate of 4% :
$200,000 × ( 1 + 0.04)
$200,000 × (1.04) = $208,000
Purchasing power = $208,000
At this rate of inflation, $208,000 will buy us what $200,000 can buy today.
Excess amount = $210,000 - $208,000 = $2000
$2000 will be earned if the principal is placed in bank.
With actual inflation rate of 6% :
$200,000 × ( 1 + 0.06)
$200,000 × (1.06) = $212,000
Purchasing power = $212,000
With inflation rate of 6%, $200,000 today will be equivalent to $212,000 after one year and as such will be required to purchase the same items $200,000 can today.
Deficit amount = $210,000 - $212,000 = $(2000) deficit
