What would you prefer, a savings account that pays 10% interest compounded semiannually or one that pays 10% interest compounded daily? Explain.
Answer:
10% interest compounded daily will be preferable
Explanation:
In the first case, compounding occurs twice (semiannually)
In the second case, compounded occurs 365 days.
Note that compounding is earning interest on principal plus the already accumulated interest amount.
In the first case the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) would be:
= (1 + 10%/2)^2 - 1
= 0.1025
= 10.25%
In the second case the Annual Percentage Rate APR would be:
= (1 + 10%/365)^365 - 1
= 1.00027397^365 - 1
= 1.105154 - 1
= 0.105154
= 10.51%
So, 10% interest compounded daily will be preferable as it yield more.

Tex's Manufacturing Company can make 200 units of a necessary component part with the following costs: Direct Materials $240,000 Direct Labor 35,000 Variable Overhead 75,000 Fixed Overhead 40,000 If Tex's Manufacturing Company can purchase the component externally for $330,000 and only $15,000 of the fixed costs can be avoided, what is the correct make-or-buy decision
Answer:
Buy and save $35,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Particulars Make Buy
Direct Materials $240,000
Direct Labor $35,000
Variable Overhead $75,000
Fixed Overhead $15,000
Purchase cost $330,000
Total cost $365,000 $330,000
As we can see that the buying total cost is less than the total making cost so here we can buy the product as it saves the company by $35,000 ($365,000 - $330,000)

XYZ stock price and dividend history are as follows: Year Beginning-of-Year Price Dividend Paid at Year-End 2015 $ 134 $ 3 2016 150 3 2017 125 3 2018 130 3 An investor buys five shares of XYZ at the beginning of 2015, buys another two shares at the beginning of 2016, sells one share at the beginning of 2017, and sells all six remaining shares at the beginning of 2018. a. What are the arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor
Answer:
a. We have:
Arithmetic mean = 2.62%
Geometric mean = 1.82%
b. From the attached excel file, the total cash flow for each year are as follows:
January 1, 2015 Total Cash Flow = -$650
January 1, 2016 Total Cash Flow = -$273
January 1, 2017 Total Cash Flow = $141
January 1, 2018 Total Cash Flow = $768
Explanation:
Note: The requirement of this question is not complete. The complete requirement is therefore given before answering the question as follows:
a. What are the arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor.
b. Prepare a chart of cash flows for the four dates corresponding to the turns of the year for January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2018.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
The following sorted table is given in the question:
Year Beginning-of-Year Price Dividend Paid at Year-End
2015 $ 134 $ 3
2016 150 3
2017 125 3
2018 130 3
a. What are the arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor.
The arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor can be calculated as follows:
Arithmetic average return = Sum of returns/ number of years ………....….. (1)
Geometric average return = n * ((1+r1)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)…(1+rn)^(1/n) - 1 .……….. (2)
Where;
n = years 1, 2, 3….
r1, r2, r3… are the returns for year 1, 2, 3….
Return for each year = ((Current year Beginning-of-Year Price – Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price) + dividend) / Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price .................... (3)
Using equation (3), we have:
2016 Return = ((150 - 134) + 3) /134 = 0.141791044776119
2017 Return = ((125 - 150) + 3) /150 = -0.146666666666667
2018 Return = ((125 - 120) + 5) /120 = 0.0833333333333333
Using equation (1), we have:
Arithmetic mean = (2016 Return + 2017 Return + 2018 Return) / 3 = (0.1417910447761190 - 0.1466666666666670 + 0.0833333333333333) / 3 = 0.0262, or 2.62%
Using equation (2), we have:
Geometric mean = ((1 + 2016 Return) * (1 + 2017 Return) * (1 + 2018 Return))^(1/3) - 1 = ((1 + 0.141791044776119) * (1 - 0.146666666666667) * (1 + 0.0833333333333333))^(1/3) - 1 = 0.0182, or 1.82%
b. Prepare a chart of cash flows for the four dates corresponding to the turns of the year for January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2018.
Note: See the attached excel file for the chart of cash flows for the four dates corresponding to the turns of the year for January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2018.
In the attached excel file, Beginning-of-Year Price for January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016 are negative because the purchase of stock is a cash outflow.

When calculating the marginal revenue and marginal profit in this problem, use the approach given for the marginal cost and marginal revenue in the discussions in your textbook. a) If the fixed cost in producing the bicycles is $2800, find the total cost to produce 30 bicycles. Answer: $ 4718.9869 equation editorEquation Editor b) If the bikes are sold for $200 each, what is the profit (or loss) on the first 30 bikes
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
A manufacturer of mountain bikes has the following marginal cost function:
[tex]$C'(q)=\frac{700}{0.7q+8}$[/tex]
where q is the quantity of bicycles produced.
When calculating the marginal revenue and marginal profit in this problem, use the approach given for the marginal cost and marginal revenue in the discussions in your textbook.
a) If the fixed cost in producing the bicycles is $2800, find the total cost to produce 30 bicycles?
b) If the bikes are sold for $200 each, what is the profit (or loss) on the first 30 bikes?
Solution :
Given :
[tex]$C'(q)=\frac{700}{0.7q+8}$[/tex]
a). Fixed cost, FC = $ 2800
Total cost to produce 30 bicycles is :
[tex]$C = 2800 + \int_0^{30} C'(q) \ dq$[/tex]
[tex]$ = 2800 + \int_0^{30} \frac{700}{0.7q+8} \ dq$[/tex]
[tex]$= 2800+700\left[\frac{\ln (0.7q+8)}{0.7}\right]^{30}_0$[/tex]
[tex]$=2800+1000[\ln ((0.7 \times 30)+8)- \ln 8 ]$[/tex]
[tex]$= 2800 +1000 [\ln 29 - \ln 8]$[/tex]
= 2800 + 1287.85
= $ 4087.85
b). Total selling price = $ (200 x 30)
= $ 6000
Profit = 6000 - 4087.85

Piper Rose Boutique has been approached by the community college to make special polo shirts for the faculty and staff. The college is willing to buy 4,000 polos with its own design for $6.00 each. The company normally sells its shirts for $12.00 each. The company has enough excess capacity to make this order. A breakdown of the costs is as follows:
Direct materials $2.00
Direct labor 0.50
Variable factory overhead 1.50
Fixed factory overhead 2.50
Total cost per unit $6.50
Should Piper Rose Boutique accept the special order made by the college?
Answer:
Piper Rose Boutique should accept the special order made by the college
Explanation:
Price per unit the college is willing to pay = $6
Total variable cost per unit to be incurred by Piper Rose Boutique = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable factory overhead = $2.00 + $0.50 + $1.50 = $4,00
Since the price per unit of $6 that the college is willing to pay is greater than the total variable cost per unit of $4 to be incurred by Piper Rose Boutique, Piper Rose Boutique should accept the special order made by the college.
Note: the Fixed factory overhead is not relevant in taking the decision. Only the variable costs are relevant.

The expense recognition principle is an accounting principle which is typically used on accrual basis accounts and it states that expenses incurred by an individual or business entity should be recognized and matched in the same period with respect to the revenues they are related to.
Additionally, the expense recognition principle helps business owners to calculate their taxes and profits or losses properly.
The use of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets represents a consumption of benefits, or service potentials, inherent in the assets.
Generally, the cost associated with these service potentials or inherent consumption benefits should be considered or recognized by the business firm as expenses over the specific period they are used to generate revenue for the business.

Q 9.20: City Mission is a not-for-profit organization that provides hot meals, living quarters, and showers for homeless people. Based on their yearly budget, they expect to spend $450,000 on food expenses, $350,000 on housing expenses, $280,000 on staff salaries, $90,000 on utilities, and $118,000 on other expenses. How much will City Mission need to raise in donations
Answer:
at least $1,288,000 in donation
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, we would add up all the expenses to arrive at how much donation that need City Mission needs to raise.
= Expenses on food + Housing expenses + Staff salaries + Utilities + Other expenses
= $450,000 + $350,000 + $280,000 + $90,000 + $118,000
= $1,288,000
The above is a large sum of money to raise only from donations, and by right a level or various levels of government should help pay for these expenses as no one go homeless either that or provide low cost homes for the homeless.

A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing. For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is _____________ and ___________. Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good.
Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $2,040. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 420 students, asking each of them their willingness-to-pay for the beautification project. The average willingness-to-pay, as revealed by the survey, is $12.
The benefit of the beatification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is $ __________ Because the estimated benefit is ____________ than the
cost, the college administrators ______________ undertake the beautification in initiative.
The calculation of the benefit of the beatification initiative relied on the ability of the administrators to accurately capture the true willingness-to-pay of each student.
Which of the following scenarios would cause the survey used by the college administrators to yield misleading willingness-to-pay data? Check all that apply.
a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.
b. An equal number of male and female students were surveyed.
Answer:
non rival, non excludable
$5040
greater
will
a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.
Explanation:
A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous.
Because a student is enjoying the visual appearance of the campus, another student is not prevented from enjoying the visual appearance of the campus. This means that the beautification initiative is non rivalrous
There is no way to prevent any student from viewing the initiative. This means it is non excludable
Benefit can be calculated using the willingness to pay of student
the price a student is willing to pay would be dependent on the amount of benefit she expects to derive from the project
benefit = 420 x $12 = $5040
The beautification initiative generates a positive externality
A good or initiative has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost
Because the good generates positive externality, the initiative should be carried out
If . Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere, they would quote a lower willingess to pay
A sporting goods manufacturer budgets production of 59,000 pairs of ski boots in the first quarter and 50,000 pairs in the second quarter of the upcoming year. Each pair of boots requires 2 kilograms (kg) of a key raw material. The company aims to end each quarter with ending raw materials inventory equal to 20% of the following quarter's material needs. Beginning inventory for this material is 23,600 kg and the cost per kg is $8. What is the budgeted materials purchases cost for the first quarter?
Answer:
Purchases= 114,400 kg
Total purchase cost= $915,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 23,600 kg
Cost per kg= $8
Production= 59,000 pairs
Desired ending inventory= (50,000*0.2)*2= 20,000 kg
To calculate the purchases, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 59,000*2 + 20,000 - 23,600
Purchases= 114,400 kg
Total purchase cost= 114,400*8= $915,200

Leandro Corp. manufactures wooden desks. Production consists of three processes: cutting, assembly, and finishing. The following costs are given for April: Cutting Assembly Finishing direct materials $7,000 $10,000 $3,000 direct labor 3,000 14,000 2,000 applied overhead 4,000 5,000 6,000 There were no work in process inventories and 1,000 podiums were produced. What is the cost transferred out of the assembly department. a.$29,000 b.$43,000 c.$54,000 d.$14,000 e.None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
a. $29,000
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the cost transferred out of the assembly department is computed as;
We would sum up all the cost associated with the Assembly department.
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Overhead
Direct materials = $10,000
Direct labor = $14,000
Overhead = $5,000
Therefore, cost transfered out of the assembly department is
= $10,000 + $14,000 + $5,000
= $29,000
