Answer:
$3,707.22
Explanation:
the nominal interest rate that this person wants = real interest rate + inflation rate = 8% + 6% = 14%
this means that his/her account needs to earn 14% per year in order to gain an 8% real interest rate with a 6% inflation rate:
future value = present value x (1 + r)ⁿ
present value = $1,000r =14%n = 10future value = $1,000 x (1 + 14%)¹⁰ = $3,707.22
Suppose the demand for roses increases from 500 to 600 stems when income rises from $10,000 to $20,000. Income elasticity for roses is:__________
Answer:
Demand Income % Δ in Demand % Δ in Income Elasticity
500 10000
600 20000 18.18% 66.67% 0.2727
The formula for midpoint elasticity = ((600-500)/((600+500)/2))/((20000-10000)/((20000+10000)/2)) = 0.2727
As the elasticity value is 0.2727 is less than 1, the good is slightly elastic and the good is normal good as the demand increases with the increase in income.
A monopoly that attempts to charge the socially desirable price will invariably reduce their economic profit because:_______
a. price and marginal cost is higher than marginal revenue.
b. marginal cost is equal to zero.
c. price is lower than marginal cost.
d. average cost and marginal cost are equal.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A monopoly that attempts to charge the socially desirable price will invariably reduce their economic profit because average cost and marginal cost are equal.
Answer:
The correct choice is - Price is equal to the Marginal Cost.
Explanation:
Socially desirable price refers to the point on the graph where the demand (D) stands equal to or intersects the marginal cost (MC). That is MC = D.
The challenge with setting prices like this is that the business in arriving at the price of its product(s) and or service(s) has not taken into consideration the fixed cost to the business. To breakeven, the owner of a business must know its Average Total Cost (which takes into consideration both marginal and fixed costs) and set its prices equal to same. To make a profit however the business must set its prices above the Average Total Cost.
Recall that ATC = MC + F/Q where
ATC = Average Total Cost
MC = Marginal Cost
F = Fixed Cost
Q = Quantity of goods produced
D = Quantity of goods demanded

Jillian has just started her first job with a $45,000 salary at a company with a 401(k) plan that has a 100% match up to 3% gross salary. She figures she can afford to save $3,000/yr out of her income for her retirement. What should Jillian ideally do?
a. Contribute 1650 in a Roth IRA, and 1350 In her company’s 401(k) plan
b. Contribute 3,000 in her company’s 401 (k) plan
c. Contribute 2,00 in a Roth IRA
d. Contribute 1350 in a Roth IRA, and 1650 In her company’s 401(k) plan
Answer:
Jillian
What Jillian should ideally do is:
a. Contribute 1650 in a Roth IRA, and 1350 In her company’s 401(k) plan.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Salary = $45,000
401(k) = 3% of $45,000 = $1,350
Employer's match to the 401(k) = $1,350 (100%)
Savings affordable = $3,000
b) Jillian can contribute to Roth IRA and her company 401(k) which her company will also match 100%. Her contributions to both funds are within the allowed limits. In 2020, the allowed limit of 401(k) plan is $19,500 while that of Roth IRA is $6,000.
Stock R has a beta of 1.2, Stock S has a beta of 0.75, the required return on an average stock is 13%, and the risk-free rate of return is 7%. By how much does the required return on the riskier stock exceed the required return on the less risky stock
Answer:
The required return on the riskier stock (R) exceed the required return on
the less risky stock (S) by = 2.7%
Explanation:
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.
The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate
rM is the market return or return on average stock
r of stock R = 0.07 + 1.2 * (0.13 - 0.07)
r of stock R = 14.2%
r of stock S = 0.07 + 0.75 * (0.13 - 0.07)
r of stock S = 11.5%
R is the riskier stock because it has a higher beta than S which is the less riskier stock.
The required return on the riskier stock (R) exceed the required return on
the less risky stock (S) by = 14.2 - 11.5 = 2.7%
Early in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, San Antonio Outfitters finalized plans to expand operations. The first stage was
completed on March 28 with the purchase of a tract of land on the outskirts of the city. The land and existing building were purchased by
paying $370,000 immediately and signing a noninterest-bearing note requiring the company to pay $770,000 on March 28, 2023. An
interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement. Tide search, insurance, and other closing
costs totaling $37.000 were paid at closing
At the end of April, the old building was demolished at a cost of $87,000, and an additional $67.000 was paid to clear and grade the
land. Construction of a new building began on May 1 and was completed on October 29. Construction expenditures were as follows
(FV of $1. PV of $1. EVA of $1. PVA of $1. EVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

San Antonio borrowed $6,100,000 at 8% on May 1 to help finance construction. This loan, plus interest, will be paid in 2022. The
company also had a $6,950,000, 8% long-term note payable outstanding throughout 2021
In November, the company purchased 10 identical pieces of equipment and office furniture and fortures for a lump-sum price of
$770 000. The fair values of the equipment and the fumiture and fixtures were $522,000 and $348,000, respectively. In December, San
Antonio paid a contractor $370,000 for the construction of parking lots and for landscaping.
Required:
1. Determine the initial values of the various assets that San Antonio acquired or constructed during 2021. The company uses the
specific interest method to determine the amount of interest capitalized on the building construction. (Hint: Expenditures on March 28
and April 30 to acquire land on which to construct the building are included as part of accumulated expenditures for determining the
amount of interest capitalized on the building. This means the interest capitalization period begins on March 28.)

Determine the initial values of the variou assets that San Antonio acquired or constructed during 2021. The company uses
the specific interest method to determine the amount of interest capitalized on the building construction. (Hint: Expenditures
on March 28 and April 30 to acquire land on which to construct the building are included as part of accumulated expenditures
for determining the amount of interest capitalized on the building. This means the interest capitalization period begins on
March 28.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
1) assets basis:
land = $1,221,151
equipment = $462,000
furniture and fixtures = $308,000
parking lots and landscaping = $370,000
building = $11,241,600
2) interest expense:
interest on notes payable issued to buy land = $52,812
interest expense on other notes payable = $479,733
total = $532,545
Explanation:
the basis of the land (not depreciable):
$370,000 paid in cashPV of notes payable = $770,000 / 1.08² = $660,151closing costs = $37,000demolition of existing structures = $87,000land clearing and grading = $67,000total = $1,221,151Demolition costs as well as land grading and clearing add to the basis of the land, they are not included as part of construction costs. Therefore, they cannot be capitalized and added to the building's basis. The land is one asset and the building is a separate one, you cannot mix them. Only construction costs incurred when building the building (I don't know how else to say it) can be considered as accumulated expenditures for interest capitalization. The same applies to land improvements, they cannot be included in the construction's accumulated expenditures, they are separate assets.
interest expense on notes payable = $660,151 x 8% = $52,812
basis of equipment, furniture and fixtures (depreciable assets):
equipment = ($522 / $870) x $770,000 = $462,000furniture and fixtures = ($348 / $870) x $770,000 = $308,000parking lots and landscaping (depreciable land improvements):
$370,000total building construction expense during 2021:
May 1 : $3,750,000 July 30: $2,350.000 September 1: $1,920,000 October 1 : $2,820.000total = $10,840,000weighted construction expenditures 2021:
May 1 : $3,750,000 x 8/12 = $2,500,000July 30: $2,350.000 x 6/12 = $1,175,000September 1: $1,920,000 x 4/12 = $640,000October 1 : $2,820.000 x 3/12 = $705,000total = $5,020,000capitalized interests = $5,020,000 x 8% = $401,600
basis of building:
total construction expenses = $10,840,000capitalized interests = $401,600total = $11,241,600interest expense on other notes payable = ($6,100,000 x 8% x 8/12) + ($6,950,000 x 8%) - $401,600 = $479,733.33 ≈ $479,733

A callable bond pays annual interest of $60, has a par value of $1,000, matures in 20 years but is callable in 10 years at a price of $1,100, and has a value today of $1055.84.The yield to call on this bond is __________.A) 6.00%B) 6.58%C) 7.20%D) 8.00%
According to the condition, the yield to call on this bond is 6.00%. Thus, the correct option is (A).
The phrase "yield to call" refers to the return received by a bondholder if the security is kept until the call date, which is prior to the maturity date.
Yield to call is used for callable bonds, which are securities that allow bond investors to redeem the bonds (or the bond issuer to repurchase them) at the call price before the maturity date.
The yield to call is the amount paid if the issuer of a callable bond chooses to pay it off early.
Here,
Number of periods = 10
payment (PMT) = 60.00
Present value (PV)= -1,055.84
Future value (FV) = 1,100.00
Calculate the Yield to call as follows:
Yield to call = (nper,pmt,pv,fv)
= (10, 60, -1055.84, 1100)
= 6%
Therefore, the correct option is "A".

The profit function for sales of two models of television sets at a chain discount store is given by where x is the number of sales per week of model A, and y is the number of sales per week of model B. Find and interpret the result.
Answer:
The correct option is B) Px(10, 15) = 80
At a sales level of 10 units of model A and 15 units of model B, increasing sales of model A by one unit and holding sales of model B at 15 units will increase profit by approximately $80.
Explanation:
Note: This question is note complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
The profit function for sales of two models of television sets at a chain discount store is given by P(x, y) = 140x + 160y - 6x^2 + 4xy - 8y^2 - 500, where x is the number of sales per week of model A, and y is the number of sales per week of model B. Find Px(10, 15) and interpret the result.
A) Px(10, 15) = 120
At a sales level of 10 units of model A and 15 units of model B, increasing sales of model A by
one unit and holding sales of model B at 15 units will increase profit by approximately $120
B) Px(10, 15) = 80
At a sales level of 10 units of model A and 15 units of model B, increasing sales of model A by one unit and holding sales of model B at 15 units will increase profit by approximately $80.
C) Px(10, 15) = 140
At a sales level of 10 units of model A and 15 units of model B, increasing sales of model A by one unit and holding sales of model B at 15 units will increase profit by approximately $140
D) Px(10, 15) = 60
At a sales level of 10 units of model A and 15 units of model B, increasing sales of model A by one unit and holding sales of model B at 15 units will increase profit by approximately $60
The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:
Given;
P(x, y) = 140x + 160y - 6x^2 + 4xy - 8y^2 - 500 ........................ (1)
Taking partial differentiation of equation (1) with respect to x, we have:
Px(x, y) = 140 - 12x + 4y ...................... (2)
Since we are given Px(10, 15), it implies we substitutes for x = 10 and y = 15 into equation (2) and estimate as follows:
Px(10, 15) = 140 - (12 * 10) + (4 * 15)
Px(10, 15) = 140 - 120 + 60
Px(10, 15) = 80
Therefore, the correct option is B) Px(10, 15) = 80
At a sales level of 10 units of model A and 15 units of model B, increasing sales of model A by one unit and holding sales of model B at 15 units will increase profit by approximately $80.
Suppose that the risk-free rate is 3% and that the market risk premium is 5%. Round your answers to one decimal place. What is the required return on the market?
Answer:
The required return on the market is 8%
Explanation:
Market required rate is the sum of the risk free rate and market risk premium.
Risk free rate is a rate on a treasury stock or government bond because these securities have very low risk or no risk at all as these are backed by government entities.
Market risk premium is the premium paid against the risk to invest in a specific market which is additional to the risk free rate. Different markets have different risk levels. The markets having higher rism will pay higher premium and markets with lower will pay lower risk premium.
The required rreturn on the market can be calculated as follow
Market required return = Risk free rate + Market risk premium
Placing values in the formula
Market required return = 3% + 5%
Market required return = 8%

Explanation:
Project management can be defined as the process of designing, planning, developing, leading and execution of a project plan or activities using a set of skills, tools, knowledge, techniques and experience to achieve the set goals and objectives of creating a unique product or service. Generally, projects are considered to be temporary because they usually have a start-time and an end-time to complete, execute or implement the project plan.
Generally, the fundamentals or basics of project management are essentially considered universal across most professions, careers and businesses.
The fundamentals of project management includes;
1. Project initiation
2. Project planning
3. Project execution
4. Monitoring and controlling of the project
5. Adapting and closure of project.
During project initiation, priorities and procedures are often most important, but as the project proceeds, especially during the middle and latter stages of the project, schedule issues become the predominant source of conflict because project managers are saddled with the responsibility of delivering or executing the project within the time frame cited.
Hence, it is very important and essential that project managers in various organizations, businesses and professions adopt the aforementioned fundamentals in order to successfully achieve their aim, objectives and goals set for a project.
