Darrin Brown bought a pub. The purchase price was $695,000. An appraiser provided the following appraisal values: land, $320,000; building, $370,000; and equipment, $60,000. What cost should be allocated to the building
Answer:
$342,867
Explanation:
Use the appraisal values to apportion the purchase price to the cost of the Building.
Calculation of the Cost of Building :
Total Appraisal Value = $320,000 + $370,000 + $60,000
= $750,000
Cost of Building = $370,000 / $750,000 × $695,000
= $342,867
Troll Island is a small island nation that recently experienced an autonomous change in aggregate expenditures (AE). AE increased by 5 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume on Troll Island is equal to 0.73 . What is the change in Troll Island's real GDP after the increase in AE
Answer:
18.52
Explanation:
The computation of the change in Troll island real GDO after rise in AE is shown below:
Given that
Rise in accumulated depreciation by 5 billion
Marginal propensity to consume is 0.73
Based on the above information,
We know that
MPS = 1 - MPC
= 1 - 0.73
And, the multiplier is
= 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)
= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.73)
= 1 ÷ 0.27
= 3.70
Now the change is
= 5 billion × 3.70
= 18.52
Assume there is a bond with the yield to maturity (YTM) of 11%, coupon rate of 10%. Further assume that the current inflation rate is 3%. What is the bond’s real interest rate?
Answer:
7.77%
Explanation:
The Real Interest Rate is the interest rate that has been adjusted with the effects of Inflation. Effect of inflation is to reduce the value of money over time.
Real Interest Rate = (1 + Nominal Return) / (1 + Inflation Rate) - 1
Therefore,
Real Interest Rate = (1 + 0.11) / (1 + 0.03) - 1
= 0.0777
= 7.77%
Conclusion
The bond’s real interest rate is 7.77%

what is the present value of an annuity that pays $1 at the end of each year for the next 15 years with an annual effective interest rate 6.5% g
Answer:
PV= $9.40
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual payment= $1
Interest rate= 6.5%
Number of periods= 15 years
First, we need to calculate the future value using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual payment
FV= {1*[(1.065^15) - 1]} / 0.065
FV= $24.18
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 24.18 / 1.065^15
PV= $9.40

Parkway Void Co. issued 17-year bonds two years ago at a coupon rate of 8.6 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 110 percent of par value, what is the YTM
Answer:
7.48 %
Explanation:
Lets first assume that the par value on this Bond is $100.
Then, we would calculate the Yield to Maturity as
PV = $100 × 110% = - $110
N = 15 × 2 = 30
P/yr = 2
Pmt = ($100 × 8.6 %) ÷ 2 = $4.30
FV = $100
YTM = ?
Using a financial calculator to input the values as above, the Yield to Maturity of this Bond will be 7.48 %

1. Avoidable interest on construction loan = $6,000,000 * 12% = $672,000
Calculation of weighted average interest rate on general loan
Loan Amount Interest rate Interest (Amount*rate)
Short term loan 3,920,000 10% 392,000
Long term loan 2,800,000 11% 308,000
Total 6,720,000 700,000
Weighted average interest rate = 700,000 / 6,720,000
Weighted average interest rate =0.10416667
Weighted average interest rate = 10.42%
Avoidable interest on remaining expenditure = ($10,080,000 - $5,600,000) * 10.42%
Avoidable interest on remaining expenditure = $4480000 * 10.42%
Avoidable interest on remaining expenditure = $466,816
Total avoidable interest = $672,000 + $466,816
Total avoidable interest = $1,138,816
2. Total cost of building capitalized = $14,560,000 + $$1,138,816
Total cost of building capitalized = $15,698,816
Depreciation expenses = Cost - Salvage value / Useful life
Depreciation expenses = $15,698,816 - $840,000 / 30 years

Depreciation expenses = $495,293.87
Because of the housing bubble, many houses are now selling for much less than their selling price just two to three years ago. There is evidence that homeowners with virtually identical houses tend to ask for more if they paid more for the house. What fallacy are they making and why?
Answer:
Sunk cost fallacy
Explanation:
Sunk cost is mostly related to the sunk cost fallacy. This happens when a person or company refuses to change a decision simply due to the fact that they have already put the money down for it even though continuing with such is not the best decision. Such a fallacy has the ability of affecting even the smallest financial decision.
Here people believe they can recover money which they have spent and this is not actually true as sunk costs are not recoverable.
Calculate the total cost per hour to own the track dozer:
Purchase price: $550,000
Estimated salvage value $50,000
Useful life: 5 years
Annual usage: 2000 hours per year
Assume interest, insurance, and risk as 10%
Answer:
$68.45
Explanation:
initial outlay = $550,000
cash flow year 5 = $50,000
NPV = -$550,000 + $50,000/1.1⁵ = -$518,954
equivalent annual cost = NPV / PV annuity factor
PV annuity factor, 10%, 5 periods = 3.7908
equivalent annual cost = $518,954 / 3.7908 = $136,898.26
cost per hour = $136,898.26/2,000 hours = $68.45
How much will net operating income increase (decrease) per month if the monthly advertising budget increases by $9,600, the monthly sales volume increases by 100 units, and the total monthly sales increase by $6,000
Answer:
I could not find the exact missing details for your question so I will use a similar one that you can reference. See attached.
Fixed expenses will remain the same and only advertising and sales increased so;
Increase (decrease) in Net Operating income = Increase in sales * Contribution margin ratio - increase in expenses (advertising)
= 16,000 * 40% - 8,200
= 6,400 - 8,200
= -$1,800
Decrease of $1,800
If demand is perfectly inelastic and supply is upward sloping, then a $1 tax per unit placed on producers will:
Answer:
If demand is perfectly inelastic, this means that no matter how much the price of a good rises, demand will stay the same.
If supply is upward sloping, this means that the higher the price, the higher the supply, because the more revenue producers obtain.
However, in this case, the producers would raise the price of the good, by the amount of the tax: $1, and consumers would buy the same amount. However, the extra revenue from the higher price would go to the governmet in the form of tax revenue, and not to the producers.

Frasier Cabinets wants to maintain a growth rate of 5 percent without incurring any additional equity financing. The firm maintains a constant debt-equity ratio of .55, a total asset turnover ratio of 1.30, and a profit margin of 9 percent. What must the dividend payout ratio be?
Answer:
73.74 %
Explanation:
Calculation for dividend payout ratio
First step is to calculate Return on equity
Return on equity = 0.09 ×1.30 ×(1 + 0.55)
Return on equity= 0.18135
Second step is to calculate Sustainable growth
Sustainable growth = [0.18135 ×b]/[1 - (0.18135 ×b)]
0.05 = (0.18135 x b)/ ( 1- (0.18135 x b))
b = 0.2626
Last step is to calculate the Dividend Payout ratio
Dividend Payout ratio = 1 - 0.2626
Dividend Payout ratio=0.7374*100
Dividend Payout ratio = 73.74 %
Therefore Dividend Payout ratio will be 73.74 %

A potential buyer should avoid starting negotiations with automobile sales staff by establishing ______.
Answer: their affordable monthly payment
Explanation:
A potential buyer should avoid starting negotiations with automobile sales staff by establishing their affordable monthly payment.
When someone is talking with a car salesman, the person should avoid discussing the payment that he or she can afford. When one discloses their affordable monthly payment at first, this could end up having a negative effect on them as the salesperson could take advantage of the monthly payment offered if it's higher than what the sales person wanted to offer.
A person has a $350 monthly car payment, which is based on 12% annual interest, compounded monthly. Determine the amount of car bought if it was financed for 60 months and no down payment was paid.
Answer: $15,734
Explanation:
The monthly interest is;
= 12%/12
= 1% per month
The Present value of the monthly payments is the cost of the car and since this is a specified periodic payment, the present value of an annuity can calculate it;
= 350 * [tex]\frac{1 - (1 + 0.01)^{-60} }{0.01}[/tex]
= 350 * 44.9550384

If the price were $8, a
a. surplus of 25 units would exist and price would tend to fall.
b. surplus of 10 units would exist and price would tend to fall.
c. shortage of 25 units would exist and price would tend to rise.
d. surplus of 50 units would exist and price would tend to fall.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is $6. At this price quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. Above equilibrium price, there would be excess supply. Below equilibrium price, there would be excess demand.
$8 is above equilibrium price, so there would be a surplus.
the surplus : 45 - 20 = 25
As a result of the surplus, prices would fall until equilibrium is restored
A 3.125 percent TIPS has an original reference CPI of 185.1. If the current CPI is 210.4, what is the par value and current interest payment of the TIPS? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places.) Interest rate Reference CPI Current CPI 3.125% 185.1 210.4 Complete the following analysis. Do not hard code values in your calculations. Par value Interest payment.
Answer:
Par value $1,136.68
Interest payment $17.76
Explanation:
Par value or Face value is the values written on the face of security. The par value of the TIPS is directly proportional to the CPI, as CPI increases the face value of the TIPS is also increasead and vice versa.
First we need to list the available data
Original reference CPI = 185.1
Current CPI = 210.4
Standard Par value = $1,000
Use following Formula to calculate the related par value
Par Value = Standard Par value x Current CPI / Original reference CPI
Placing values in the formula
Par Value = $1,000 x 210.4 / 185.1
Par Value = $1,136.68
Now calculate the semiannual interest payment
Interest payment = Par value x Interest rate x Semiannual fraction
Placing values in the formula
Interest payment = $1,136.68 x 3.125% x 6/12
Interest payment = $17.76
