Jason is faced with two choices: A BMW costing $40,000 gives him an additional 1005 units of utility, and a laser printer costing $1,000 gives him an additional 25 units of utility. Rational choice theory would predict that he would choose:
Answer:
either a BMW or a laser printer because they yield the same marginal printer
Explanation:
A rational consumer would choose the good that provides a higher utility
Marginal utility is the additional satisfaction received from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. Marginal utility is the additional utility derived from consuming one more unit of a good. the consumption decision is to consume more units of a good that gives the higher utility per good.
Marginal utility per good = marginal utility / price of the good
BMW = 1005 /40,000 = 0.025
Printer = 25 / $1000 = 0.025
How are investors taxed on stocks and mutual fund investments? Check all that apply.
Answer:
yes
Explanation:
Generally, yes, taxes must be paid on mutual fund earnings, also referred to as gains. Whenever you profit from the sale or exchange of mutual fund shares in a taxable investment account, you may be subject to capital gains tax on the transaction. You also may owe taxes if your mutual fund pays dividends. The amount of tax owed ultimately depends on the combined total of your gains and losses.
Merrill, its affiliates, and financial advisors do not provide legal, tax, or accounting advice. You should consult your legal and/or tax advisors before making any financial decisions.
"Realizing a capital gain from one mutual fund doesn't guarantee that you'll owe taxes on that gain. Each dollar of capital loss potentially can offset a dollar of capital gain."
— Mitchell Drossman, head of National Wealth Strategies in the Chief Investment Office (CIO) for Merrill and Bank of America Private Bank
A closer look at the capital gains tax
Short-term capital gains are gains from the sale of capital assets held for 12 months or less and are taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains are gains from the sale of capital assets held for more than 12 months and are currently subject to a federal long-term capital gains tax rate of up to 20%.
2021 Capital Gains Tax RatesFootnote 1
Short-term
Held for 12 months or less
Ordinary income tax rate
Long-term
Held for more than 12 months
0%, 15% or 20% depending on your taxable income
But a capital gain in one mutual fund doesn't guarantee that you'll owe taxes on that gain. Each dollar of capital loss potentially can offset a dollar of capital gain.
For example if, in the same tax year, you have $1,000 in long-term capital gains and $600 in long-term capital losses, you'll pay tax only on the net long-term capital gain of $400. If your capital losses exceed your capital gains for the tax year, you can use up to $3,000 of these excess capital losses to offset ordinary income in such tax year. You can carry over capital losses in excess of $3,000 to offset capital gains in future tax years (and, potentially, ordinary income of up to $3,000 per year).
An employee earned $1,000 in the first pay period of the current year. How much is the total employer and employee social security taxes on these earnings? (Use the simplified rate shown in illustrations.)
Answer: $120
Explanation:
The total employer and employee social security taxes is 6% fir the employee and 6% for the employee which then makes up 12%.
Since the employee earned $1,000 in the first pay period of the current year, then the total employer and employee social security taxes on these earnings will be:
= 12% × $1000
= 0.12 × $1000
= $120
Over the last two decades the reduced importance of certain institutions in the primary mortgage market has been largely offset by an expanded role for others. Which has diminished, and which has expanded
Answer:
Thrifts role have decreased whereas, mortgage and commercial banks roles have increased.
Explanation:
In simple words, Credit unions and cooperative savings banks are examples of thrifts that offer a multitude of deposits and lending services. Thrifts are different from conventional institutions in that organizations may draw money through the Federal Home Loan Bank Network, allowing them to charge greater interest to its members.
The ease of doing business and less documentation with commercial banks promoted their growth.
If the average annual rate of return for common stocks is 11.7 percent, and 4.0 percent for U.S. Treasury bills, what is the average market risk premium?
Answer:
7.7%
Explanation:
Risk premium is the return an investor would want for holding a risky bond. It is the excess return earned over holding a risk free bond
Risk premium = return on risky asset - return on U.S. Treasury bills
The U.S. Treasury bills is considered to be risk free because the US government cannot default
On the other hands, stocks are risky because companies can default on payment of dividends due to various reasons e.g. insolvency
11.7 - 4 = 7.7%

XYZ Co. reported the following results for October: Sales $ 32,000 Cost of goods sold (all variable) $ 6,000 Total variable selling expense $ 2,500 Total fixed selling expense $ 4,700 Total variable administrative expense $ 1,800 Total fixed administrative expense $ 3,000 The contribution margin for October is:
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the information above,
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable expenses
Sales = $32,000
Variable expenses = Total variable selling expenses + Total variable administrative expenses
= $2,500 + $1,800
= $4,300
Therefore,
Contribution margin = $32,000 - $4,300
Contribution margin = $27,700
Therefore, the contribution margin for October is $27,700

The Cullumber Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $65 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $7,000 per month
Utilities $1,000 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $1,508 per month
Maid service $13 per room
Other costs $26 per room
Required:
a. Determine the inn's break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
b. Determine the inn's break-even point in dollars.
Answer:
a. Breakeven point in number of rented rooms:
= Fixed costs / Contribution margin
Fixed cost = Salaries per month + Utilities + Depreciation + Maintenance
= 7,000 + 1,000 + 1,100 + 1,508
= $10,608
Contribution margin:
= Rent price - Maid service - Other costs
= 65 - 13 - 26
= $26
Breakeven point in rented rooms:
= 10,608 / 26
= 408 rooms
b. Breakeven point in dollars:
= Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
= 10,608 / (26 / 65)
= 10,608 / 40%
= $26,520
Croft Corporation has a target capital structure of 70 percent common stock and 30 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 16 percent, and the cost of debt is 8 percent. The relevant tax rate is 24 percent. What is the company's WACC
Answer:
13.02%
Explanation:
Debt = 30% and Common stock = 70%
Cost of equity is 16% and debt is 8%
Tax is 24%
WACC = Cost of equity*Weight of equity + After tax cost of debt*Weight of debt
WACC = (0.16*0.70) + (0.08*(1-0.24)*0.30)
WACC = 0.112 + 0.01824
WACC = 0.13024
WACC = 13.02%
So, the the company's WACC is 13.02%
A company issued 30 shares of $.50 par value common stock for $12,000. The credit to additional paid-in capital would be ________.
A. $1.985.
B. $12,000.
C. $15.
D. $10,150.
Answer: $11,985
Explanation:
The credit to the Additional paid-in capital is the excess over the pa value of the stock that was sold. The formula is therefore:
Additional paid-in capital = Cash stock was sold for - Par value of stock
Par value of stock = 30 shares * 0.50
= $15.00
Additional paid-in capital = 12,000 - 15
= $11,985

Sports Corp has 11.7 million shares of common stock outstanding, 6.7 million shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 2.7 million bonds. If the common shares are selling for $26.7 per share, the preferred share are selling for $14.2 per share, and the bonds are selling for 96.83 percent of par, what would be the weight used for common stock in the computation of Sports's WACC
Answer: 10.34%
Explanation:
First calculate the value of the company's total capital:
= Common stock + Preferred stock + Debt
= (11,700,000 * 26.70) + (6,700,000 * 14.20) + (2,700,000 * 96.83/100 * 1,000 par value)
= $3,021,940,000
The weight to be used for common stock is:
= Common stock value / Total capital value
= (11,700,000 * 26.70) / 3,021,940,000
= 312,390,000 / 3,021,940,000
= 10.34%

CompuGlobal is an American firm producing computers. CompuGlobal imports computer components from Taiwan and assembles them domestically. Suppose that in the United States, a computer sells for $800 and that 60% of the computer’s value comes from the value of the imported components. The United States imposes a 50% tariff on computers and a 10% tariff on the computer’s components. Assume that costs of producing components are the same in the United States and Taiwan and that transit costs are nonexistent. Based on the information provided, the effective rate of protection that CompuGlobal receives from the tariff is
Answer: 110%
Explanation:
The effective rate of protection is used in measuring the final tariff in a particular sector and it's expressed as:
g = (t -ai,ti) / (1 - ai)
where,
g = effective protection rate
ai = nominal tariff rate = 0.6
t = cost of intermediate input = 0.5
ti = nominal tariff on intermediate input = 0.1
The computer price here is $800 while the input price is 60% of $800 which will be:
= 60% × $800 = $480
nominal tariff rate = 480/800 = 0.6
Nominal tariff on final goods, t = 50% = 0.5
Tariff on imported input, ti = 10% = 0.1
Using the formula:
g = (t -ai,ti) / (1 - ai)
g = [0.5 - (0.6×0.1)] / (1 - 0.6)
g = (0.5 - 0.06) / 0.4
g = 0.44/.0.4
g = 1.10
g = 110%
The effective rate of protection is 110%
The AD Curve ________.
a. all of the choices are correct.
b. is downward sloping, because with higher inflation comes higher interest rates and lower spending, so equilibrium aggregate output declines
c. indicates the level of aggregate output corresponding to different goods-market-clearing levels of the interest rate
d. explains how inflation affects output in the long run
Answer:
a. all of the choices are correct.
Explanation:
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
Demand can be defined as the total amount of goods or services that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a given price.
The Law of Demand states that quantity of goods or services demanded varies inversely with their price, other things constant or being equal. Thus, the smaller the quantity of goods or services demanded, the higher the price and vice-versa.
Aggregate demand (AD) can be defined as the total quantity of output (final goods and services) that is demanded by consumers at all possible price levels in an economy at a particular time.
An aggregate demand (AD) curve gives a negative relationship between the aggregate price level for goods or services and the quantity of aggregate output demanded in an economy at a specific period of time.
In conclusion, all of the aforementioned statements best describes an aggregate demand (AD) curve.
Machinery was purchased for $340,000. Freight charges amounted to $14,000 and there was a cost of $40,000 for building a foundation and installing the machinery. It is estimated that the machinery will have a $60,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. Annual depreciation expense using the straight-line method will be a. $78,800. b. $57,200. c. $66,800. d. $56,000.
Answer:
$66,800
Explanation:
Depreciation is used in expensing the cost of an asset
Depreciation reduces the value of an asset
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
Cost = $340,000. + $14,000 + $40,000 = $394,000
($394,000 - $60,000) / 5 = $66,800

You discover that many consumers want easy access to pens in their cars, so you decide to produce a steering wheel that has a pen tucked inside that can conveniently pop out whenever someone needs it. The steering wheels become very popular with car companies. Developing this product is an example of what
Answer: c. Allocative efficiency
Explanation:
When an economy is experiencing allocative efficiency, it means that goods in the economy are being produced according to consumer preferences. This means that if consumers want a certain good in a certain quantity, the economy will produce that good in that quantity.
This is the case here. You saw that consumers wanted a good and you went ahead and produced it therefore giving consumers what they wanted.
Find the price a purchaser should be willing to pay for the given bond. Assume that the coupon interest is paid twice a year. $30,000 bond with coupon rate 4.4% that matures in 7 years; current interest rate is 6.8%.
Answer:
Bond Price= $26,042.12
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Coupon= (0.044/2)*30,000= $660
YTM= 0.068/2= 0.034
Time to maturity= 7*2= 14 semesters
Face value= $30,000
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 660*{[1 - (1.034^-14)] / 0.034} + [30,000 /(1.034^14)]
Bond Price= 7,256.14 + 18,785.98
Bond Price= $26,042.12
On December 31, 2018, a company had assets of $34 billion and stockholders' equity of $28 billion. That same company had assets of $50 billion and stockholders' equity of $12 billion as of December 31, 2019.

Year 4 = $100,000 ($150,000 - $50,000)
Year 5 = $50,000
Payback period:
Year 1 = $250,000
Year 2 = $450,000 ($250,000 + $200,000)
Year 3 = $600,000 ($450,000 + $150,000)
pls help me with in this i just want the 3 and 4th one...
Answer:
3. The special concept reminded by the phrase "Exchanging Butter Cake for Dates" is:
Trade by barter.
4. The need fulfilled by this business is people's demand for Cake.
The want fulfilled by this business is the organization's supply of dates for its production of cake.
Explanation:
A trade by barter involves the exchange of one good or service by one trading party for another good or service from the coincidental trading party without the use of money or monetary mediums. Trade by barter enables people without money to fulfill their needs. The major problem with trade by barter is that there must be coincidence of wants by the two trading partners. This is not always feasible.
