Answer: 1. B. The Fed did not want to be viewed as rewarding the poor business decisions of the bank's managers.
2. D. The Fed feared that assisting Lehman Brothers would increase the extent of moral hazard in the financial system.
3. B. The Fed intervened aggressively following the 2008 failure but remained largely inactive for several years following the 1930 failure.
Explanation:
1. In 1930 when the Great Depression was at it's early stages, the Central Bank could have done some things that would have reduced it's impact on the world but they remained passive and did little. One of the reasons was that there was a lack of cohesion between the Fed Districts and some of the directors subscribed to the "liquidationist" which meant that companies that engaged in adverse financial decisions be allowed to fail to as to prune the financial system and make it better. This contributed to the failure to help the Bank of the United States.
2. The Fed did not want to be seen as aiding Moral Hazard when they refused to bail out the Lehman Brothers in 2008. The Lehman Brothers had engaged in very risky transactions that brought it to ruin in 2008 and the Central Bank did not want to encourage the precedent of saving Banks that did so. Moral Hazard is when a risky action is engaged in by a company or person because they will not pay for the risk if things go awry. For example, a person with car insurance might drive more recklessly because they know that if the car crashes, the insurance will cover it. This is what the Fed did not want to encourage. A situation where Banks would engage in risky actions knowing that the Fed would back them up.
3. In the 1930s during the Great Depression, the Fed did not do enough to stem the depression because there was not coordination amongst the districts. They could not agree on a way forward and so did little. They even admitted their failure when in 2002, a member of the Board of Governors called Ben Bernanke said they could have done more.
In 2008 though, the Fed stepped in to help the economy get back on track. They reduced Interest rates and poured money into the economy through various ventures that helped the American public amongst others. Their actions ensured that the 2008 financial crises did not last as long as the Great Depression.
Grays Company has inventory of 16 units at a cost of $11 each on August 1. On August 3, it purchased 26 units at $10 each. 18 units are sold on August 6. Using the perpetual FIFO inventory method, what amount will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 18 units that were sold
Answer:
Cost of goods sold is $196
Explanation:
Using FIFO inventory sold are valued at the price of the most earliest stock in inventory.
The 16 units would be valued at $11 per one while the remaining 2 units would be valued at price of the purchase made on August 3 which cost $10 each
costs of goods sold=($11*16)+($10*2)
=$176+$20=$196
The costs of goods sold would be $196 if FIFO method of inventory valuation is used

Audreys free-throw percentage so far this season is .875. If she makes only 13 of her next 20 free throws, her percentage will drop to .860. How many free throws has Audrey made this season?
Answer:
245 free throws
Explanation:
x will be number of times Audreys makes a shot, and let y be total number of the shots.
x/y = .875
(x+13)/(y+20) = .860
Let solve for x in equation 1
x = .875y
We will plug the for x in the equation 2
(.875y+13)/(y+20)
= .860
.875y + 13
= .860y + 17.2
.015y = 4.2
y = 280
Audreys has taken 280 shots.
We will Plug that back into the equation 1 in order to find out how many Audreys made.
x/280 = .875
x = 245
Hence :
Audreys made 245 free throws

When using a pure chase strategy with hires and fires, calculate the number of employees needed to satisfy each period’s demand. Once you have established the number of employees needed, either hire or fire as required. Use the following data and the pure chase strategy to calculate the cost of satisfying demand in Periods 1 through 8: A B 4 Cost Data $12.505 Regular-time labor cost per hour $18.75 6 Overtime labor cost per hour $125.00 7 Subcontracting cost per unit (labor only) $25.00 8 Back-order cost per unit per period $10.00 9 Inventory holding cost per unit per period $800.00 10 Hiring cost per employee $500.00 11 Firing cost per employee1213 Capacity Data 14 Beginning workforce (employees) 15 Beginning inventory (units) 16 Production standard per unit (hours) 17 Regular-time available per period (hours) 18 Overtime available per period (hours) 19 20 Demand Data (units) 21 Period 1 192022 Period 2 2160 23 Period 3 144024 Period 4 1200 25 Period 5 204026 Period 6 240027 Period 7 174028 Period 8 150029 30 Total Number of Periods 8After evaluating the chase strategy, select all statements below which is are true. A. The total firing cost is larger than the total firing cost. B. The total hiring cost is $62,400.C. The total production cost is $1,548,900.D. The total hiring cost is larger than the total firing cost. E. Overtime labor cost is $200,000.F. The total regular-time labor cost is $1,440,000.
Answer:
B. The total hiring cost is $62,400
D. The total hiring cost is larger than the total firing cost.
E. Overtime labor cost is $200,000.
Explanation:
The hiring cost of the labor is greater than the firing cost because the company needs more workforce to meet the finished goods demand in the certain period. The hiring cost of the employees is $800 per labor and company needs 78 more labor to meet the demand. The total hiring cost will be $800 * 78 labors = $62,400.
[Book Sale] Yasmeen offered to sell Dylan a used business law book for $50. She told him that he could use it in his upcoming business law class the next semester. However, there was a problem with the book; it was several editions old. Dylan was not aware of that fact, and neither was Yasmeen. When Dylan took the book to class and realized the problem, he went back to Yasmeen requesting a refund. Yasmeen refused to return his money. She claimed that she did not commit fraud because subjectively she thought that the book was correct, and that a binding contract existed. The book, however, is outdated and cannot be appropriately used in the class. Which analysis of the effect of the discovery that Dylan has a book that is not appropriate for the class would be correct?
a. He was the offeror.
b. He was the offeree.
c. He was the offeree and the assertee.
d. He was the assentee.
e. He was the sssentor
Answer:
B. he was the offeree
Explanation:
Yasmeen offered to sell Dylan the book, this makes her the Offeror. the agreement consists of an offer made by one party which is Yasmeen to enter int a term of contract and also acceptance of the terms of the offer by the other party Dylan. dylan is the offeree.
the 50 dollar to be provided by dylan and the book to be provide by Yasmeen is known as consideration. Since the parties have a mutual misunderstanding, they did not come to a meeting of the minds hence no contract.
A garment manufacturing company makes 380,000 articles per year. Each article takes 95 minutes of direct labor at the rate of $9.00 per hour. The overhead costs are $7.50 per direct labor hour. The average price of the finished product is $80 per article. A new machine will reduce the direct labor hour by 15 minutes per article. What is the maximum amount the company should pay for the new machine if it wants to break even by the end of the first year
Answer:
The maximum amount the company should pay for the new machine is $1,567,500 if it wants to break even by the end of the first year
Explanation:
Number of article (N) = 380.000
Time for each articles (T) = 95 minutes = 1.583 hours
Direct Labour Cost (D1) = $9 per hour
Overhead Cost (O1)= $7.50 per direct labour hour
Total cost for labour(C)= D1 + O1= $16.50 per hour
Selling price of articles(S1) = $80 per article
- Cost of Production (P1)= N * T * C
= 380,000 * 1.583 * 16.50
=$9,925,410
-Total amount got by selling (S) = N * S1
=380,000 * 80
=$30,400,000
Profit in this process (R1) = S - P1
=30,400,000 - 9,925,410
=$20,474,590 per year
-Time for each article with new machines (T)= 95 - 15 = 80 minute = 1.333 hour
-Cost for production (P2)= N * T * C
=380,000 * 1.333 * 16.50
=$8,357,910
Profit in this Process(R2)= S-P2=
=30,400,000 - 8,357,910
=$22,042,090 per year
Net Profit gain by new machine = R2 - R1
=$22,042,090 - $20,474,590
=$1,567,500 per year
The maximum amount the company should pay for the new machine is $1,567,500 if it wants to break even by the end of the first year

Juanita makes $16 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $16 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling. Complete the following table by computing the opportunity cost of Juanita's time and the total cost of shopping at each location. opportunity costs of Time price of a dress total cost (Dollars) (Dollars per dress) (Dollars)Local Department Store 103Across Town 89Neighboring City 63Assume that Juanita takes opportunity costs and the price of the dress into consideration when she shops. Juanita will minimize the cost of the dress if she buys it from the _________ .
Answer:
She buys it from the "Neighboring city". The further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
The cost of opportunity while shopping from Local dept. store:
= [tex](15\times 2+30)\times 16[/tex]
= [tex](30+30)\times 16[/tex]
= [tex]1 \ hour\times 16[/tex]
= [tex]16[/tex]
The cost of opportunity while shopping from across town:
= [tex](30\times 2+30)\times 16[/tex]
= [tex](60+30)\times 16[/tex]
= [tex]1.5 \ hours\times 16[/tex]
= [tex]24[/tex]
The cost of opportunity while shopping from neighboring class:
= [tex](60\times 2+30)\times 16[/tex]
= [tex](120+30)\times 16[/tex]
= [tex]2.5 \ hours\times 16[/tex]
= [tex]40[/tex]
Now,
Store Opp. Cost Price Total cost
Local dept. store 16 103 119
Across town 24 89 109

Therefore, a Neighboring city would be the right answer.
On January 1, 2018, Westside Sales issued $ 20 comma 000 in bonds for $ 21 comma 800. These are eightminusyear bonds with a stated interest rate of 10% that pay semiannual interest. Westside Sales uses the straightminusline method to amortize the bond premium. After the first interest payment on June 30, 2018, what is the bond carrying amount? (Round your intermediate answers to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$21,687.5
Explanation:
Premium on bonds payable = $21,800 - $20,000 = $1,800
Interest payments = 8 years X 2 semiannual interest payments per year = 16 payments
Premium ammortisation = $1,800 / 16 = $112.5
Carrying value of the bond = $21,800 - $112.5 = $21,687.5
"Angela borrowed $5,000 for five years at an APR of 6.2 percent. The loan calls for equal, annual principal payments. Interest will also be paid annually. What will be her loan payment in Year 2?"
Answer:
Find below multiple choices
A: $1,248
B: $1,310
C: $1,016
D: $1,274
E: $1,157
The correct option is A,$1,248
Explanation:
The principal payment each year is the total loan amount divided 5 i.e $5,000/5=$1,000
In year one interest=$5,000*6.2%=$310
Total principal and interest in year one=$310+$1,000=$1,310
principal outstanding in year two=$5,000-$1,000=$4,000
year two interest payment=$4,000*6.2%=$248
Year principal interest and principal=$1,000+$248=$1,248
The total repayment in year 2 is $1,248,which is option A
On June 30, 2021, Blondie Fixtures was considering alternatives to bolster its cash position. Option One called for transferring $500,000 in accounts receivable to Dogwood Finance Company without recourse for a 5% fee. Option Two calls for Blondie to transfer the $500,000 in receivables to Dogwood with recourse. Dogwood's charges a 4% fee for receivables factored with recourse. Option Two meets the conditions to be considered a sale, but Blondie estimates a $4,000 recourse liability. Under either option, Dogwood will immediately remit 90% of the factored receivables to Blondie, and retain 10%. When Dogwood collects the remaining receivables, it remits the amount, less the fee, to Blondie, Blondie estimates that the fair value of the final 15% of the receivables is $24,500 (ignoring the factoring fee).
Required:
1. Prepare any necessary journal entry or entries if receivables are factored under Option One.
2. Prepare any necessary journal entry or entries if receivables are factored under Option.
Answer:
1. Prepare any necessary journal entry or entries if receivables are factored under Option One.
Dr Cash 450,000 (=90% × $500,000)
Dr Loss on sale of receivables 50,000
Cr Accounts receivable 500,000
Since the fair value of the remaining receivables ($24,500 ≤ $25,000) is less than the factoring fees, then the company should not expect to receive any more money and should record the loss immediately.
2. Prepare any necessary journal entry or entries if receivables are factored under Option (two)
Dr Cash 450,000
Dr Receivable from factor 4,500 (= fair value $24,500 - $20,000)
Dr Loss on sale of receivables 49,500
Cr Accounts receivable 500,000
Cr Recourse liability 4,000
Since the fair value of the remaining receivables is higher than the factoring fees ($24,500 ≥ $20,000), then you must report a factoring receivable. Any recourse liability increases the company's losses.
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
Spring is here, and Frances and her brother would like to go fishing for the weekend in Washington. Frances could either go to the river in town where anyone can fish without a permit, or she could drive up to a stream located on her family's property in the countryside to fish. Assume that, no matter where people fish, all of the fish that are caught would be kept (that is, there is no "catch and release" policy).
The fish in the private stream are considered (rival in consumption / nonrival in consumption) and (excludable / nonexcludable) whereas the fish in the river are (rival in consumption / nonrival in consumption) and (excludable / nonexcludable). In other words, the fish in the private stream are an example of (Private good, public good, club good, common resource), and the fish in the river are an example of (private good, public good, club good, common resource)
Fishing in the river will likely lead to (adverse selection, natural monopoly, tragedy of the commons) because of which of the following reasons?
1. Nobody will enjoy fishing because of the lack of private contributions to the maintenance of the river.
2. All fishermen will choose to fish in the stream believing that there are more fish there.
3. All fishermen will choose to fish in the river because of the limited access to the stream.
4. Anyone can fish in the river, and one person's fishing activity decreases the ability of someone else to fish with success.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
A. The fish in the private stream are considered rival in consumption and excludable whereas the fish in the river are rival in consumption and nonexcludable.
When a good is said to be Rival in Consumption, it means that consumption of the good reduces the chances that others have of consuming the same good. Every Fish that Frances catches regardless of whether it is in the Private or the Non-Private stream, means one more fish that no one else will.be able to catch and consume.
Excludable goods are goods that one can refuse people access to if they have not paid or reached some sort of agreement with the owner of the good.
Non-Excludable Goods are goods that cannot be refused people access to. People can use them without having to pay a fee.
B. In other words, the fish in the private stream are an example of Private good, and the fish in the river are an example of a public good.
A Private Good is one that is Excludable and under the ownership of a person or entity who derives benefits from it and can choose whether or not to allow others the chance to get a benefit from the good as well. The Stream is private and so it is up to Frances's family as to who they want to use it.
Public goods are more often than not, Non-Excludable and open to use for the public. Anyone can use the river to fish without a permit thereby making the fish a Public good.
C. Fishing in the river will likely lead to tragedy of the commons because of which of the following reasons?
4. Anyone can fish in the river, and one person's fishing activity decreases the ability of someone else to fish with success.
The Tragedy of the Commons is refers to a situation described in Economics where because of a lack of restrictions on the use of a good, individual members of the public use the good in such a way that it is not sustainable which will lead to the depletion of the good.
Because anyone can fish in the river, one person fishing can reduce the ability of another person to get fish because the fish will keep going down if caught faster than they can reproduce.
6. On 3/1/19, Kepple Inc. borrowed funds on a 12%, two-year note, to finance the construction of a new warehouse which qualifies for interest capitalization. Construction on the project began on 4/1/19 and was completed on 11/1/19. Kepple has a calendar year-end. Rounded to the nearest whole month, over how many total months in 2019 should interest be capitalized under the current interest capitalization rules?
Answer:
The interest would be capitalized for 7 months time and must be calculated at 12% of the actual amount used for the construction of the new warehouse.
Explanation:
The interest can only be capitalized for the period the loan amount was used to make the asset ready for use. Also note that the part of loan amount used will only be used to calculate the interest which would be capitalized which means if the company borrowed $1.2 million at 12% and used only $0.6 million of the total loan for construction of the building then the amount used will be $0.6 to compute the interest that will be capitalized.
The time period will be the corresponding time of commencement of construction and amount borrowed to the date the construction of the asset has been completed. So here, the time period for which the interest would be capitalized would be for 7 months (4/1/19 - 11/1/19) because the construction was completed within 7 months.
Suppose a bank offers to lend you $10,000 for 1 year on a loan contract that calls for you to make interest payments of $250.00 at the end of each quarter and then pay off the principal amount at the end of the year. What is the effective annual rate on the loan
Answer:
10.38%
Explanation:
From the question above a bank offers to lend an amount of $10,000 for a period of 1 year
The bank expects an interest of $250 to be paid every 4 months
= $250×4
= $1,000
Total amount of interest= $1,000
The first step is to calculate the nominal interest
= (1000/10,000)×100
= 0.1×100
= 10%
Therefore, the effective annual rate on the loan can be calculated as follows
= (1+r/m)^m-1
r = 10% , m = 4
= [1+(10/100)/4]^-1
=[ (1+0.1/4)^4]-1
= (1+0.025^4)-1
= (1.025^4)-1
= 1.1038-1
= 0.1038×100
= 10.38%
Hence the effective annual rate in the loan is 10.38%

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
or $495,894
So,
The present Net value of the MBA alternative is more than that of the current job alternative.
Hence, the net present value of the more attractive alternative = MBA alternative = $ 495,894

During May 2020, a company spend $14,000 on ordinary maintenance of its delivery trucks. 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.
Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. Assume that in 2015, an auction house sold a statute at auction for a price of $10,332,500.

Bakker Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the most recent year, the company based its predetermined overhead rate on total estimated overhead of $100,000 and 2,500 estimated direct labor-hours. Actual manufacturing overhead for the year amounted to $102,000 and actual direct labor-hours were 2,400. The predetermined overhead rate was:
Answer:
$40
Explanation:
The formula and the computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead ÷ Estimated direct labor hours
= $100,000 ÷ 2,500 direct labor hours
= $40
By dividing the estimated overhead from the estimated direct labor hours we can get the predetermined overhead rate and the same is to be considered
It recognized only estimated values and activity drivers
Relative to Kenya, Japan has relatively higher economies of large-scale production, an abundance of resources, higher labor costs, and more research and development. The Heckscher-Ohlin theory explains Japan’s comparative advantage over Kenya as the result of differences in countries'
a. relative costs of labor
b. economies of large-scale production
c. research and development
d. relative abundance of various resources.
Answer:
a. relative costs of labor
Explanation:
The Heckscher-Ohlin theory explains Japan’s comparative advantage over Kenya as the result of differences in countries' relative costs of labor.
The Heckscher-Ohlin theory of comparative advantage predicts patterns of commerce and production based on the factors that a particular trading region's (country, state etc.) is endowed with or has in plentiful amount. The model is particular about the export of goods requiring factors of production that are plentiful in a particular region.
The four factors of production are land, labor, entrepreneur and capital. Of all the factors compared between Kenya and Japan, their relative labour cost is the only direct factor of production compared between them.

Hill Industries had sales in 2019 of $7,600,000 and gross profit of $1,199,000. Management is considering two alternative budget plans to increase its gross profit in 2020. Plan A would increase the selling price per unit from $8.00 to $8.40. Sales volume would decrease by 10% from its 2019 level. Plan B would decrease the selling price per unit by $0.50. The marketing department expects that the sales volume would increase by 107,000 units. At the end of 2019, Hill has 48,000 units of inventory on hand. If Plan A is accepted, the 2020 ending inventory should be equal to 5% of the 2020 sales. If Plan B is accepted, the ending inventory should be equal to 64,000 units. Each unit produced will cost $1.80 in direct labor, $1.40 in direct materials, and $1.20 in variable overhead. The fixed overhead for 2020 should be $1,767,480.
Prepare a sales budget for 2020 under each plan.
Answer:
Plan A:
Sales in units= 855,000
Sales revenue= $7,182,000
Plan B:
Sales in units= 1,057,000
Sales revenue= $7,927,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Hill Industries had sales in 2019 of $7,600,000
Plan A:
Selling price= $8.4
Sales= 10% lower
Plan B:
Selling price= $7.5
Sales= 107,000 units higher
First, we need to determine the number of units sold in 2019:
Units sold= 7,600,000/8= 950,000 units
Plan A:
Sales in units= 950,000*0.9= 855,000
Sales revenue= 855,000*8.4= $7,182,000
Plan B:
Sales in units= 950,000 + 107,000= 1,057,000
Sales revenue= 1,057,000*7.5= $7,927,500
