Monetary policy can be a useful tool for macroeconomic management. Using relevant diagram(s), show and discuss the possible impact of recent interest rate cuts on output, inflation and unemployment
Answer:
A cut in interest rates will cause the following effects:
Output: output will increase because an interest rate cut makes credit cheaper. Firms will now borrow more money at cheaper interest, and will invest those funds in producing more.Inflation: an interest cut is produced by an increase in the money supply. When the money supply increases, inflation goes up as well.Unemployment: unemployment will go down. Because there is more money in the economy, there is also cheaper credit, and as explained above, firms will make use of these cheap credits to invest more and produce more. To do so, they will need to hire more workers.
On January 1, 2012, Coronado Industries purchased for $762000, equipment having a useful life of ten years and an estimated salvage value of $45000. Coronado has recorded monthly depreciation of the equipment on the straight-line method. On December 31, 2020, the equipment was sold for $162500. As a result of this sale, Coronado should recognize a gain of
Answer:
$45,800
Explanation:
Coronado Industries
Cost of Equipment $762,00
Accumulated Depreciation
( $762,000 - 45,000 ) /10*9 years
=$717,000/10×9 years
=71,700×9 years
=$645,300
Therefore Dec 31,2012 book value of equipment will be:
= $762,000 - $645,300
= $116,700
Equipment sold $162,500
The gain to be recognize will be
= $162,500 - $116,700
= $45,800
1 January ,2012 to 31 December,2020 will give us 9 years
Answer:
$45,800
Explanation:
Given that: the cost of the equipment = $762000
We can determine the accumulated depreciation as follows:
Accumulated depreciation= ((cost of equipment - salvage value )/useful lifetime )×Depreciation from 2012 to 2020
[tex]\mathbf{Accumulated \ depreciation= \dfrac{762,000-45,000}{10}*9 years}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Accumulated \ depreciation= \dfrac{717,000}{10}*9 years}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Accumulated \ depreciation}=[/tex] $ 645,300
The Book value of equipment as on December 31,2020 = cost of equipment - accumulated depreciation
= $762,000 - $645,300
= $ 116,700
Also; the sale value = $162500
The gain to be recognize = $162,500 - $ 116,700 = $45,800

Tom is responsible for ordering hardware for a custom home his company is building. The contractor installing the hardware is scheduled to start in 5 working days, but the hardware is on backorder and will not arrive for another 9 working days. Fortunately, Tom has 10 days of slack; however, he shares this slack with the hardware installer. He will have to let the contactor know that the hardware will be ready 4 days later than expected and that the slack for the installer has been reduced by 4 days. Tom and the installer share 10 days of:_______
Answer:
Total slack
Explanation:
Total slack is defines as the time that tasks are delayed which will eventually affect the finishing date of a project.
Total slack can be either positive or negative. Positive slack is when delay in tasks do not affect project finish date, and negative slack are delays that affect project finish date.
Total slack is calculated as difference between smaller value of late finish and early finish.
Tom shares 4 days of his slack with the contractor.
So he has 10- 4 = 6 days slack
The total slack is 6 + 4= 10 days
In this scenario the difference between late start and early start is 9 - 5= 4 days
ahn Company uses a job-order costing system. Its plantwide predetermined overhead rate uses direct labor-hours as the allocation base. The company pays its direct laborers $15 per hour. During the year, the company started and completed only two jobs-Job Alpha, which used 54,500 direct labor-hours, and Job Omega. The job cost sheets for the these two jobs are shown below:

Direct materials ?
Direct labor ?
Manufacturing overhead applied ?
Total job cost 1,533,500
Job Omega
Direct materials 235,000
Direct labor 345,000
Manufacturing overhead applied 184,000
Total job cost 764,000
Required
1. Calculate the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
Plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
Answer:
$8 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
1. The computation of the plant wide overhead rate is shown below:
But before that first we have to find out the direct labor hours used which is
= Direct labor cost ÷ direct labors per hour
= $345,000 ÷ $15
= $23,000
Now the predetermined overhead rate is
= Manufacturing overhead applied ÷ direct labor hours
= $184,000 ÷ 23,000
= $8 per direct labor hour

A. Movement from full-time to part-time workers
B. Automation
C. Workers are not as productive as they were in the past
Answer:
1) c. the total setup cost should be allocated equally between the red and blue ink.
Setup costs depend on the number of production batches, since one production batch was made for each color of ink, then the costs should be allocated equally.
2. Which of the following is an activity-based cost driver?
A. Number of machine setups
Other examples include production orders, quality inspections, maintenance orders, etc.
3. What is the principal reason that direct labor hours is no longer an effective base for allocating indirect costs in many modern manufacturing companies?

Flint Company began operations on January 1, 2015, and uses the average-cost method of pricing inventory. Management is contemplating a change in inventory methods for 2018. The following information is available for the years 2015–2017.
Net Income Computed Using
Average-Cost Method
FIFO Method
LIFO Method
2015 $16,080 $18,980 $11,940
2016 17,980 20,800 14,020
2017 19,920 24,890 17,050
(a) Prepare the journal entry necessary to record a change from the average cost method to the FIFO method in 2018. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

(c) Assume Flint Company used the LIFO method instead of the average cost method during the years 2015–2017. In 2018, Flint changed to the FIFO method. Prepare the journal entry necessary to record the change in principle. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
When using FIFO (First In First Out), a company sells it's earlier Stock first before it sells the latter one.
When using LIFO ( Last In First Out), a company sells it's latter Stock first before it sells the earlier one.
The Average Cost averages the both.
a) To record a change from the Average Cost method to the FIFO method, first take the difference between the total revenues from the two methods and then credit the difference to the Retained Earnings account if FIFO is higher to signify the increase in Retained Earnings as a result of the change. The corresponding entry should be to the Inventory account to show the rise in Inventory associated with the prices of goods rising and therefore later inventory being priced higher.
Total for Average Cost Method.
= 16,080 + 17,980 + 19,920
= $53,980
Total for FIFO
= 18,980 + 20,800 + 24,890
= $64,670
Difference is,
= $64,670 - $53,980
= $10,690
Journal Entry will be,
DR Inventory $10,690
CR Retained Earnings $10,690
( To record change of Accounting Method to FIFO)
b) The change has been from the Average Cost to the FIFO method. The question already gives the numbers related with calculating the Net Income using the FIFO method.
The answer is therefore,
FIFO
2015 - $18,980
2016 - $20,800
2017 - $24,890
c) Going by the same method as in A, you first take the difference between the totals of using LIFO and FIFO. The difference will be credited to the Retained Earnings account if FIFO is higher to signify the increase in Retained Earnings as a result of the change. The corresponding entry should be to the Inventory account to show the rise in Inventory associated with the prices of goods rising and therefore later inventory being priced higher.
FIFO Total
= 18,980 + 20,800 + 24,890
= $64,670
LIFO Total
= 11,940 + 14,020 + 17,050
= $43,010
Difference will be,
= 64,670 - 43,010
= $21,660
Journalizing it,
DR Inventory $21,660
CR Retained Earnings $21,660

Gritz-Charlston is a 300-unit luxury hotel. All rooms are occupied when the hotel charges $80 per day for a room. For every increase of x dollars in the daily room rate, there are x rooms vacant. Each occupied room costs $22 per day to service and maintain. What should the hotel charge per day in order to maximize profit?
Answer:
The hotel should charge $201 per day in order to maximize profit
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
The number of occupied rooms is 300-x, and x vacant rooms.
Hence, The revenue R(x) = (300-x) * ($80 + x), the number of occupiedrooms times the charge per room.
The cost C(x) = (300-x) * $22.
Therefore, The profit P(x) = R(x)-C(x) = (300-x) (58 + x) = 17400 + 242 x -x^2.
P'(x) = 242 - 2x.
Critical point: x= 121.
So Charge = $80 + x = $80 + $121 = $201
The hotel should charge $201 per day in order to maximize profit

If you seek to unlevered your position; how many shares of Lara's stock will you continue to own, if you can loan out funds at 5 percent interest? Ignore taxes in your deliberations. Kindly show all workings. (15 marks)
Answer:
The answer is 17556 shares.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Now
In this example of Home made leverage.
It suggests that if taxes are not available and no other costs are there, an investor can create capital structure similar to Firm.
Here, firm is proposing to borrow 825000.
The all equity firm value is given as:
= 450000 x 15 = 6750000
As taxes are not present, the value of firm will not alter, total value will remain at 6750000
So
After issue of debt, the debt ratio will be given as :
= 825000/6750000 = 12.2222%
This is the important point.
Thus
To create same capital structure, you have to sell 12.2222% of your shares and the amount received from sale of shares, purchase debt
So you have to sell = 12.2222% x 20000 = 2444.44 shares
and continue to hold = 20000 - 2444.44 = 17555.56 share
17555.56 = 17556
Therefore, the amount of share you will continue own is 17556 share.
leutian Company uses the multiple production department factory overhead rate method. The Fabrication Department uses machine hours as an allocation base, and the Assembly Department uses direct labor hours. The Assembly Department's factory overhead rate is
Answer:
$5.28 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
The computation of the assembly department factory overhead rate is shown below:
The Assembly Department's factory overhead rate = Estimated total factory overhead ÷ Total Direct Labor hours
where,
Estimated total factory overhead for Assembly Department = $71,800.
And,
Total Direct Labor hours is
= [910 units × 6 hours per unit] + [2,710 × 3 hours per unit]
= 5,460 hours + 8,130 hours
= 13,590 direct labor hour
So, the assembly department factory overhead rate is
= $71,800 ÷ 13,590 direct labor hour
= $5.28 per direct labor hour

(a) Compute basic earnings per share for 2015.
(b) Compute diluted earnings per share for 2015.
Answer:
a. $1.38
b. anti-dilutive.
Explanation:
Basic Earnings Per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :
Net income for the year $1,160,000
Less Bond Interest after tax ($2,010,000 × 7% × 80%) ($112,560)
Less Preference Stock dividend ($4,080,000 × 6%) ($244,800)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $802,640
Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders Calculation :
Common Stock (5,800,000 / $10) 580,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders 580,000
Basic Earnings Per Share = $802,640 / 580,000
= $1.38
Diluted Earnings Per Share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders
Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $802,640
Add Back Bond Interest after tax ($2,010,000 × 7% × 80%) $112,560
Add Back Preference Stock dividend ($4,080,000 × 6%) $244,800
Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $1,160,000
Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders Calculation
Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders 580,000
Add Convertible Bonds ($2,010,000 / $1,000 × 30) 60,000
Add Convertible Preference Shares ($4,080,000/$100 ×3) 122,400
Less Common Stock Options (82,100)
Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders 680,300
Diluted Earnings Per Share = $1,160,000 / 680,300
= $ 1.70
Conclusion : Convertible Bonds, Convertible Preference Shares and Common Stock Options are anti-dilutive.
"The S&H Construction Company expects to have total sales next year totaling $ 14 comma 700 comma 000. In addition, the firm pays taxes at 35 percent and will owe $ 290 comma 000 in interest expense. Based on last year's operations the firm's management predicts that its cost of goods sold will be 63 percent of sales and operating expenses will total 30 percent. What is your estimate of the firm's net income (after taxes) for the coming year?"
Answer: $480,350
Explanation:
Income is calculated by deducting expenses from the sales which includes the Cost of Goods sold.
The Cost of Goods sold is given to be 63% of the Sales Next year and the Operating Expenses are given to be 30% of the sales.
That means a total of,
= 63 + 30
= 93%
93% of the sales will be deducted from the sales as expenses.
$290,000 will also be owed as interest so needs to be removed from the sales as well.
Calculating that will give,
= 14,700,000 - 14,700,000(0.93) - 290,000
= 14,700,000 - 13,671,000 - 290,000
= $739,000
This is the income after interest and expenses.
Now the tax has to be accounted for.
With a tax rate of 35%, the income minus tax will be,
= 739,000 ( 1 - 0.35)
= 739,000 * 0.65
= $480,350
$480,350 is the after-tax estimate if income for the following year.
Andrews Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Polishing Department:
Equivalent units of production—direct materials 124,000 EUP
Equivalent units of production—conversion 107,200 EUP
Costs in beginning Work in Process—direct materials $67,800
Costs in beginning Work in Process—conversion $ 49,800
Costs incurred in February—direct materials $ 572,900
Costs incurred in February—conversion $ 719,500The cost per equivalent unit of production for conversion is:___________.
a. $12.06
b. $6.71
c. $7.18
d. $6.20
e. $5.98
Answer:
The correct option is C,$7.18
Explanation:
The cost per equivalent unit of production for conversion is the costs in beginning work in process—conversion plus costs incurred in February—conversion, divided by the equivalent unit of production-conversion
the costs in beginning work in process—conversion is $49,800
costs incurred in February—conversion is $719,500
equivalent units of production-conversion is 107,200
The cost per equivalent unit of production for conversion = ($49,800+$719,500)/107,200=$7.18

Another differing viewpoint is offered by Vivek Wadhwa. Mr. Wadhwa agreed with Mr. Grove that a bigger focus on creating U.S. jobs would be a good thing. But he disagreed with Mr. Grove's proposed solution. What was Mr. Wadhwa's main concern about Andy Grove's proposal to create incentives for large-scale projects
Answer:
He stated that most United states companies that are blue-chip will be the first to suffer the effects from a trade war.
Explanation:
Solution
Mr. Wadhwa came in terms with Andy Grove not fully as he did not find the protectionist trade war as acceptable.
He stated that it will greatly affects those firms who got their sales majorly from abroad. although, he favored need of more job creation in the United States.
Mr. Wadhwa’s main issue was that going for protectionist trade, where products which are produced off-shore and then transported to United States will be forced to pay more taxes, this will have a negative effect over existing large Blue chip organizations or firms.
Hence, he suggested to focus more over mid-career entrepreneurship.

McKerley Corp. has preferred stock outstanding that will pay an annual dividend of $5.65 per share with the first dividend exactly 15 years from today. If the required return is 3.99 percent, what is the current price of the stock?
Answer:
$81.88
Explanation:
We need to first calculate the terminal value which is the value in perpetuity for this preferred stock as shown below:
terminal value of the dividend =dividend/required rate of return
dividend is $5.65
required rate of return is 3.99%
terminal value of dividend=$5.65/3.99%=$ 141.60
The preferred stock price is the present value of the dividend's terminal value value
Present value=terminal value/(1+r)^n
r is the rate of return of 3.99%
n is the of years involved which is 14,15 years from today means the end of the 14th year
present value=$141.60/(1+3.99%)^14=$81.88
The production budget for Manner Company shows units to be produced as follows: July, 650; August, 710; and September, 570. Each unit produced requires one hour of direct labor. The direct labor rate is currently $16 per hour but is predicted to be $16.75 per hour in September. Prepare a direct labor budget for the months July, August, and September.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
July= 650 units
August= 710 units
September= 570 units
Each unit produced requires one hour of direct labor.
he direct labor rate is currently $16 per hour but is predicted to be $16.75 per hour in September.

In the story of New England Wire and Cable, the company was in an unusual situation of being worth more dead than alive. What economic principle was violated when Larry Garfield tried to get control of the firm, break it up, sell the assets, and make a profit
Answer: The Law of One Price
Explanation:
In the movie, Other People's Money, Danny DeVito plays Lawrence “Larry the Liquidator” Garfield who wanted to buy New England Wire and Cable because it was in such a good position financially and sell it for more than it was worth at the time to make profit.
This move would violate the Law of One Price because the law states that a good should be sold at the same price regardless of location or status.
If the company sells at a higher price when it is dead as opposed to when still operational, that means that it is selling at different prices. For it not to violate the Law of One Price it needs to be worth the same alive and operational as it is dead and to be sold off.
The economic principle violated by Larry Garfield in his attempt to gain control of the New England Wire and Cable, breaking it up to sell the assets and make a profit is e. The law of one price.
If arbitrage opportunities are eliminated from the transaction, Larry would not be able to make a profit by breaking up the assets of the company because they would fetch the same price when the company is sold as a whole.
Answer Choices:
a. Diminishing marginal return
b. Diminishing marginal utility of wealth
c. Non-positive marginal utility of wealth
d. Externalities
e. The law of one price
Thus, the economic principle violated with Larry Garfield's attempt was e. The law of one price.
