Answer: b. income from continuing operations
Explanation:
The Sustainable income of a firm refers to the income that it derives from its operations in order to be able to fund the company. The best measure of such would therefore be income from continuing operations.
Income from Continuing Operations are so named because they come from the operations that the firm still operates and have not shutdown or sold off. The income that these operations make is what will keep the company sustained in future as they are still in operation.

The historical returns for the past three years for Stock B and the stock market portfolio are Stock B: 24 percent, 0 percent, 24 percent; market portfolio: 10 percent, 12 percent, 20 percent. Calculate the beta for Stock B.
Answer:
stock B's beta = 0.125
Explanation:
a stock's beta = covariance / variance
covariance = how the stock performs relative to the portfolio
variance = how the stock performs relative to its mean
using an excel spreadsheet, the covariance between stock B and the market portfolio = 0.0016 (=COVARIANCE.P function)
again using excel, the variance of stock B = 0.0128 (=VAR.P function)
stock B's beta = 0.0016 / 0.0128 = 0.125
You plan to purchase a $330,000 house using either a 30-year mortgage obtained from your local savings bank with a rate of 8.00 percent, or a 20-year mortgage with a rate of 7.00 percent. You will make a down payment of 20 percent of the purchase price. a. Calculate the amount of interest and, separately, principal paid on each mortgage. What is the difference in interest paid
Answer:
30 year mortgage
down payment = $330,000 x 20% = $66,000
debt = $330,000 - $66,000 = $264,000
monthly payment = $264,000 / 136.2834 (PV annuity factor, 360 periods, 0.667%) = $1,937.14
total payments = $1,937.14 x 360 = $697,370.40
total interest paid = $697,370.40 - $264,000 = $433,370.40
20 year mortgage
down payment = $330,000 x 20% = $66,000
debt = $330,000 - $66,000 = $264,000
monthly payment = $264,000 / 128.9825 (PV annuity factor, 240 periods, 0.583%) = $2,046.79
total payments = $2,046.79 x 240 = $491,229.60
total interest paid = $491,229.60 - $264,000 = $227,229.60
the 20 year mortgage charges $433,370.40 - $227,229.60 = $206,140.80 less interest
A state imposes a minimum wage of $10 per hour when the equilibrium price is $7. The resulting labor surplus is greater in the long run than in the short run: long-run unemployment (LR) is greater than short-run unemployment (SR). Why does this occur
Answer:
With a minimum wage that is higher than the equilibrium price, firms, in the short-run, would still have to hire many workers in order to meet their production obligations and customer demand.
However, because hiring has now become more expensive than it should be, firms will start to invest more in capital, and to look for ways to replace workers with capital investments, for example, machinery.
This will in turn reduce the demand for labor even more in the long-run, leading to a higher labor supply surplus in the long-run than in the short-run.
A manufacturer has one hundred memory chips in stock, 4% of which are likely to be defective. A random sample of 20 chips is selected and shipped to a factory that assembles laptops. Let X denote the number of computers that are receive faulty memory chips. Find E(X).

E(x) = 0.8
Explanation:
Given:
Selected chips = 20
Defective rate = 4%
Number of fault chips computer = x
Find:
Number of fault chips computer
Computation:
Number of fault chips computer (x) = Selected chips x Defective rate
Number of fault chips computer (x) = 20 x 4%
Number of fault chips computer (x) = 0.8
E(x) = 0.8

Assume ABC Corp. pays the dividend of $4.55 this year. For the next 30 years, the firm's dividend will grow by 5.4%, then will grow by 4.7% each year afterwards. The required rate of return for the firm's industry is 10.8%. What is the present value of the firm's stock under the Dividend Discount Model?
Answer:
$86.42
Explanation:
Div₀ = $4.55
using an excel spreadsheet I determined the next 29 dividends:
Div₁ = $4.80
Div₂ = $5.05
Div₃ = $5.33
Div₄ = $5.62
Div₅ = $5.92
Div₆ = $6.24
Div₇ = $6.57
Div₈ = $6.93
Div₉ = $7.30
Div₁₀ = $7.70
Div₁₁ = $8.11
Div₁₂ = $8.55
Div₁₃ = $9.01
Div₁₄ = $9.50
Div₁₅ = $10.01
Div₁₆ = $10.56
Div₁₇ = $11.13
Div₁₈ = $11.73
Div₁₉ = $12.36
Div₂₀ = $13.03
Div₂₁ = $13.73
Div₂₂ = $14.47
Div₂₃ = $15.25
Div₂₄ = $16.08
Div₂₅ = $16.94
Div₂₆ = $17.86
Div₂₇ = $18.82
Div₂₈ = $19.84
Div₂₉ = $20.91
Div₃₀ = $4.55 x (1 + 5.4%)³⁰ = $22.0409
Div₃₁ = $22.0409 x 1.047 = $23.08
first we must determine the terminal value at year 30 = $23.08 / (10.8% - 4.7%) = $378.36
again I used an excel spreadsheet to discount the 30 future dividends using a 10.8% discount rate = $68.97 + $378.36/1.108³⁰ = $86.42
Sheffield Corp. had revenues of $344000, expenses of $184000, and dividends of $45000. When Income Summary is closed to Retained Earnings, the amount of the debit or credit to Retained Earnings is a
Answer: CREDIT of $160,000.
Explanation:
Income summary being closed to the Retained earnings account means that the income for the year is sent to the Retained earnings account.
Inventory is paid from the Retained earnings so will not feature in the amount sent from the Income statement.
Income = Revenues - expenses
= 344,000 - 184,000
= $160,000
As the Retained earnings will increase, this is a CREDIT of $160,000.
osina purchased a 15-year bond at par value when it was initially issued. The bond has a coupon rate of 7 percent and matures 13 years from now. If the current market rate for this type and quality of bond is 7.5 percent, then Rosina should expect:
Answer:
the current market price of the bond is:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7.5%)¹³ = $390.56
PV of coupon payments = $70 x 8.12584 (PV annuity factor, 7.5%, 13 periods) = $568.81
market value = $959.37
Since the coupon rate is lower than the market rate, the bond will sell at a discount. Therefore, Osina should expect to lose money if she decides to sell her bond, it would classify as a long term capital loss.
g you have just taken out a 5 year car loan. The amount of the loan is $20,000 and the interest rate on the loan is 6% per year. What will be the amount of your monthly car loan payments
Answer:
Amount to be paid monthly for the period of 5 years is $446
Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the amount to pay on the loan per year.
This is a case of a loan amount compounded yearly;
Loan amount = P( 1 + r)^t
r = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06
P is the amount borrowed = $20,000
t is the number of years = 5
So we have ;
A = 20,000( 1 + 0.06)^5
A = 20,000(1.06)^5
A = 26,764.5 which is approximately $26,765
This is the total amount to pay back
The number of months in 5 years is 5 * 12 = 60 months (12 months in a year)
So the amount to payback per month will be;
$26,765/60 = $446.083 which is approximately $446
Rather than charging a single price to all customers, a firm charges a higher price to men and a lower price to women. This ______.
Answer:
D) is attempting to convert consumer surplus into producer surplus.
Explanation:
These are the options for the question
A) is trying to reduce its costs and therefore increase its profit.
B) is engaging in an illegal activity that is prohibited by the Sherman Antitrust Act.
C) is attempting to convert producer surplus into consumer surplus.
D) is attempting to convert consumer surplus into producer surplus.
E) Both A and C are correct.
From the question, we are told that Rather than charging a single price to all customers, a firm charges a higher price to men and a lower price to women. In this case, By engaging in the above practice, the firm is attempting to convert consumer surplus into producer surplus.
consumer surplus in finance is regarded as the difference in the amount paid by the consumer for a particular goods/service and the price they are willing to pay for the goods/services. producer surplus on the other hand is the difference between price the seller is willing to give out the goods/service and the price they can take for giving the product out at market price. Therefore as the firm charges a higher price to men and a lower price to women, they are trying to convert consumer surplus into producer surplus.

If a good or service is scarce, consumers will usually be?
Answer:
B) willing to pay money to get it.
Multiple-choice options for the question
A) unwilling to buy it.
B) willing to pay money to get it.
C) uninterested in owning it.
D) able to get as much of as they want.
B) willing to pay money to get it.
Explanation:
A good or service is said to be scarce if its demand outweighs the supply. Consequently, not every customer willing to buy the product will find it in the market. Scarcity will lead to a 'scramble' for the products every time buyers locate it. The 'scramble' will make customers who greatly desire the products offer higher prices to the sellers. Scarcity makes prices go up as suppliers take advantage of making higher profits.
oriole corporation has two products in its ending inventory, each accounted for at the lower of cost or market. a profit margin of 30% on selling price is considered normal for each product. specific data with respect to each product follows:In pricing its ending inventory using the lower-of-cost-or-market, what unit values, rounded to the nearest dollar, should Oriole use for products
Answer:
Product 1 = $20Product 2 = $32.50Explanation:
Using the lower-of-cost-or market means that the market value or the historical cost is used to record the inventory depending on which is lower.
Product 1Market Value = Net realizable value - Profit margin
= (Estimated selling price - Estimated cost to dispose) - ( Estimated selling price * Profit margin)
= (40 - 5) - (40 * 30%)
= 35 - 12
= $23
Historical cost = $20
Lower value is Historical cost so $20 would be used by Oriole
Product 2= (Estimated selling price - Estimated cost to dispose) - ( Estimated selling price * Profit margin)
= (65 - 13) - (65 * 30%)
= 52 - 19.5
= $32.50
Historical Cost = $35
Lower cost is Market value so ending inventory is $32.50

Marry will start to save in equal annual installments of $4,000 each year in 4 years (she will make her first savings payment 4 years from today). If she continues to save and earns interest of 4.7% and continues to make $4,000 savings contributions each year, how much will she have saved in 9 years from today after making her final contribution
Answer:
the amount saved is $27,003.07
Explanation:
The computation of the amount saved is shown below:
= Annual Payment × [{(1 + rate)^number of years - 1} ÷ rate]
= $4000 × [{(1 + 0.047)^6 - 1} ÷ 0.047]
= $4000 × [0.3173 ÷ 0.047]
= $4000 × 6.7508
= $27,003.07
hence, the amount saved is $27,003.07
We simply applied the above formula
And, the same is to be considered
Whipple Corp. just issued 255,000 bonds with a coupon rate of 5.87 percent paid semiannually that mature in 20 years. The bonds have a YTM of 6.31 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How much money was raised from the sale of the bonds
Answer:
Amount Raised = $484,702,949.4 or 484.703 million
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of money raised from the sale of bonds, we must first calculate the price at which bonds were sold.
To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 2000 * 0.0587 * 6/12 = $58.7
Total periods (n) = 20 * 2 = 40
r or YTM = 0.0631 * 6/12 = 0.03155 or 3.155%
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 58.7 * [( 1 - (1+0.03155)^-40) / 0.03155] + 2000 / (1+0.03155)^40
Bond Price = $1900.79588 rounded off to $1900.80
The amount of money raised from the sale of 255000 bonds is,
Amount Raised = 255000 * 1900.79588
Amount Raised = $484,702,949.4 or 484.703 million
Raymond Co. has $1.4 million of debt, $3 million of preferred stock, and $1.2 million of common equity. What would be its weight on common equity
Answer:
the Weight of common Equity is 0.21
Explanation:
The computation of the weight on common equity is shown below:
But before that first we have to determine the total firm value
= Debt + Preferred stock + common Equity
= $1.4 million + $3 million + $1.2 million
= $5.6 million
Now the weight on common stock is
Weight of common Equity = Common Equity ÷Total Shareholders Fund
= $1.2 million ÷ $5.6 million
= 0.21
hence, the Weight of common Equity is 0.21

Answer:
The correct option is c. 25; $7.
That is, a monopolistic competitive firm that seeks to maximize profits will sell 25 units and charge a price of $7.
Explanation:
Note: This the data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:
In economics, a monopolistic competitive firm maximizes profit at a point where its Marginal Cost (MC) equals its Marginal Revenue (MR), i.e. where MC = MR.
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the Marginal Cost (MC) equals its Marginal Revenue (MR).
In the attached excel file, we use the following formula:
Total revenue = Price * Quantity
Marginal cost = Current total cost - Previous total cost
Marginal revenue = Current total revenue - Previous total revenue
In the attached excel file, Marginal Cost (MC) equals Marginal Revenue (MR) equals $15 (i.e. MC = MR = $15) at the point where Price is $7 and Quantity is 25 (This is indicated in bold red color)
Therefore, the correct option is c. 25; $7. That is, a monopolistic competitive firm that seeks to maximize profits will sell 25 units and charge a price of $7.
3) Suppose the household earns 40% of their income by selling a cash crop, spends nothing on inputs, and consumes none of the cash crop. Rest of the 60% of their income received by selling their family labor. If the price of the cash crop rises by 20 percent and wage rate increases by 15%, calculate: a. Net rice sales as fraction of total consumption expenditure
Answer:
8 / 69
Explanation:
Fraction = Net rice sales / Total consumption expenditure
Fraction = 8 / 69
Working
Total Income = 100 ( In which he saves 40 % and spend 60 % which is left )
Net Rice sales = New - Old
Net Rice sales = (40*1120%) - 40
Net Rice sales = 48 - 40
Net rice sales = 8
Total consumption expenditure = New + Old
Total consumption expenditure = (60 x 15%) + 60
Total consumption expenditure = 9 + 60
Total consumption expenditure = 69

Asset turnover = 2.4 approximated.
A time standard was set as 0.20 hour per unit based on the 100th unit produced. Assume the task has a 70 percent learning curve. Refer to Exhibit 6.4. What would be the expected time of the 200th, 400th, and 800th units
Answer:
200th unit = 0.70028hrs
400th unit = 0.4902hr
800th unit = 0.343hr
Explanation:
Learning rate = 70% = 0.7 (r)
From the learning curve equation
T(n)= T₁(n)^b
b= ln(r)/ln(2)= ln(0.7)/ln(2)= -0.5146
T(100)= T₁(100)^-0.5146
But T(100)=1
1= T₁×(0.0935)
T₁= 1/(0.0935)
T₁= 10.7
For 200th
T(200)= 10.7(200)^-0.5146= 0.70028hr
For 400th
T(400)= 10.7(400)^-0.5146= 0.4902hrs
800th units
T(800)= 10.7(800)^-0.5146= 0.343hrs

During regular economic times in the United States, the maximum length of time a worker can collect unemployment insurance is 26 weeks. During recessions, however, Congress often increases the length of time in which workers can collect benefits. During the recent financial crisis, workers could collect benefits for up to 99 weeks in some states. This system will:
Answer:
the options are missing:
a) encourage people to search longer for a job.
b) provide workers with an adequate safety net.
c) prolong the amount of time a person stays out of work.
d) increase the number of workers looking for work.
e) allow more people to start businesses.
The answer is:
b) provide workers with an adequate safety net. c) prolong the amount of time a person stays out of work.This type of actions can be considered humane and necessary due to certain special circumstances, but it has two effects, one good and one bad:
The good effect is that it provides workers' families with an adequate safety net. I.e. it allows a lot families in need to cover some of their basic necessities which helps them avoid a lot of suffering.
The bad effect is that it encourages people to not search jobs or only accept certain type of jobs (high paying jobs), which increases the amount of time someone is unemployed. If you are in desperate need for a job you will take any job available, but if you can afford to wait, then you will wait until you get a good job.
