Answer:
consumer income
Explanation:
The last of these factors that need to be considered is consumer income. This is a fairly simple one since, whether or not an individual customer/consumer can buy the product that you are offering, depends on whether or not they can afford it. This is all determined by their income. If the consumer population's average income increases then there will be more individuals with extra money that they can go and spend on such products like the one that you are selling. But the opposite can also happen where consumer average income decreases and there is less money for such purchases which means less demand.

A firm has a debt-to-equity ratio of 1/4. The WACC is 18.6%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9.4%. What is the cost of common equity if the tax rate is 21%?
Answer:
The cost of common equity is 22.32%.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) formula as follows:
WACC = (WS * CE) + (WD * CD * (1 - T)) ……………… (1)
Where;
WACC = Weighted average cost of capital = 18.6%, or 0.186
WS = Weight of Market value of common shares outstanding = 1 - WD = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75
WD = Weight of debt = Debt-to-equity ratio = 1/4 = 0.25
CE = cost of common equity = ?
CD = Pretax cost of debt = 9.4%, or 0.094
T = Tax rate = 21%, or 0.21
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for CE, we have:
0.186 = (0.75 * CE) + (0.25 * 0.094 * (1 - 0.21))
0.186 = (0.75 * CE) + 0.018565
0.75 * CE = 0.186 - 0.018565
0.75 * CE = 0.167435
CE = 0.167435 / 0.75
CE = 0.223246666666667, or 22.3246666666667%
Rounding to two decimal places, we have:
CE = 22.32%
Therefore, the cost of common equity is 22.32%.

A company completes 21,000 units this month and has ending goods in process inventory of 3,000 units which are estimated to be 40% complete. Total production costs are $666,000. The cost of ending Goods in Process Inventory is:______.
Answer: $36,000
Explanation:
First calculate the Equivalent Units of Production;
= 21,000 + (3,000 * 40%)
= 21,000 + 1,200
= 22,200 units
Then find the cost of each units.
= Total production cost/ Equivalent units of production
= 666,000/22,200
= $30 per unit
Then the cost of ending Goods in Process Inventory is:
= Equivalent ending process inventory units * cost per unit
= 1,200 * 30
= $36,000
Maxim Corp. has provided the following information about one of its products:
Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit
1/1 Beginning Inventory 200 $140
6/5 Purchase 400 $160
11/10 Purchase 100 $200
During the year, Maxim sold 400 units. What is cost of goods sold using the average cost method?
a. $50,000.
b. $64,000.
c. $62,000.
d. $48,000.
Answer:
d. $48,000
Explanation:
The calculation of ending inventory using average cost method is as seen below;
Total units = 200 + 400 + 100
Total units = 700
Total cost = (200 × $140) + (400 × $160) + (100 × $200)
Total cost = $28,000 + $64,000 + $20,000
Total cost = $112,000
Average cost per unit = Total cost ÷ Total unit
Average cost per unit = $112,000 ÷ 700
Average cost per unit = $160
Ending inventory = Total units - Units sold
Ending inventory = 700 - 400
Ending inventory = 300
Therefore, cost of ending inventory
= Ending inventory × Average cost per unit
= 300 × $160
= $48,000

Explanation:
This can be determined using the following 5 steps:
Step 1. Calculation of today's of $28,000 per year for the first 4 years
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV28,000 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV28000 = Present value or today's value of of $28,000 per year for the first 4 years = ?
P = Annual payment = $28,000
r = Annual discount return rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV28,000 = $28,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.12))^4) / 0.12)
PV28,000 = $85,045.78
Step 2. Calculation of today's of $43,000 per year for the next 12 years
Present value at year 4 can first be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV after 4 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (2)
Where;
PV at 4 = Present value at year 4 = ?
P = Annual payment = $43,000
r = Annual discount return rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 12
Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:
PV at 4 = $43,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.12))^12) / 0.12)
PV at 4 = $266,358.09
Therefore, we have:
PV43000 = PV at 4 / (1 + r)^n .............................. (3)
Where;
PV43000 = Present value or today's value of of $43,000 per year for the first 12 years = ?
PV at 4 = $266,358.09
r = Annual discount return rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (3) to have:
PV43000 = $266,358.09 / (1 + 0.12)^4
PV43000 = $169,275.38
Step 3. Calculation of today's of $69,000 per year for the next 16 years
Present value at year 12 can first be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV after 12 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (4)
Where;
PV at 12 = Present value at year 12 = ?
P = Annual payment = $69,000
r = Annual discount return rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 16
Substitute the values into equation (4) to have:
PV at 12 = $69,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.12))^16) / 0.12)
PV at 12 = $481,205.04
Therefore, we have:
PV69000 = PV at 12 / (1 + r)^n .............................. (5)
Where;
PV69000 = Present value or today's value of of $69,000 per year for the first 16 years = ?
PV at 12 = $481,205.04
r = Annual discount return rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 12
Substitute the values into equation (5) to have:
PV69000 = $481,205.04 / (1 + 0.12)^12
PV69000 = $123,513.35
Step 4. Calculation of today's of $61,000 per year for the next 13 years
Present value at year 16 can first be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV after 16 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (6)
Where;
PV at 16 = Present value at year 16 = ?
P = Annual payment = $61,000
r = Annual discount return rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 13
Substitute the values into equation (6) to have:
PV at 16 = $61,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.12))^13) / 0.12)
PV at 16 = $391,836.45
Therefore, we have:
PV61000 = PV at 16 / (1 + r)^n .............................. (7)
Where;
PV61000 = Present value or today's value of of $61,000 per year for the first 13 years = ?
PV at 16 = $391,836.45
r = Annual discount return rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 16
Substitute the values into equation (7) to have:
PV69000 = $391,836.45 / (1 + 0.12)^16
PV69000 = $63,917.01
Step 5. Calculation of the value of the investment to you today
This can be calculated by adding the values above:
PV = PV28,000 + PV43000 + PV69000 + PV69000 = $85,045.78 + $169,275.38 + $123,513.35 + $63,917.01 = $441,751.52
Therefore, the value of the investment to you today is $441,751.52.

a. $28.89
b. $25.73
c. $33.49
d. $30.98
e. $35.93
Answer: $30.98
Explanation:
Year 1 dividend = $3.55
Year 2 dividend = $2.62
Other years dividend ie. Year 3.... = $2.62(1 + 3.7%) = $2.62(1 + 0.037) = 2.71694
Stock price today will then be:
= 3.55/(1 + 0.121) + 2.62/(1+0.121)^2 + 2.71694/(1 + 0.121)^2(0.121 - 0.037)
= 3.166815 + 2.08492 + 25.73887
= $30.98 approximately

Stock X has a standard deviation of return of 10%. Stock Y has a standard deviation of return of 20%. The correlation coefficient between stocks is 0.5. If you invest 60% of the funds in stock X and 40% in stock Y, what is the standard deviation of the portfolio?A. 10%B. 20%C. 1.48%D. 12.20%
Answer:
D. 12.20%
Explanation:
Stock X Weight = 0.60
Stock Y Weight = 0.40
sdX = 10%
sdY = 20%
Portfolio Variance = w2X*sd2(X) + w2X*sd2(Y) + 2*(wX)*(wY)*Cov(X, Y)
Where: wX and wY are portfolio weights, sd2(X) and sd2(Y) are variances and
Cov(X, Y) is the covariance
Correlation = 0.5
Cov(X, Y) = Correlation * sd(X) * sd(Y)
= 0.50 * 0.10 * 0.20
= 0.01
Portfolio Variance = 0.60^2 * 0.10^2 + 0.40^2 * 0.20^2 + 2 * 0.60 * 0.40 * 0.01
Portfolio Variance = 0.0036 + 0.0064 + 0.0048
Portfolio Variance = 0.0148
sd(P) = √Variance = 0.121655 = 12.20%
The correct option is D.
The standard deviation of the portfolio is 12.20%.
The calculation is as follows:SD of Portfolio = Sqrt of (Wx^2 × SDx^2 + Wy^2 × SDy^2 + 2 × Wx × Wy ×SDx × SDy × correlation)
= Sqrt of (0.60^2 × 0.10^2 + 0.40^2 × 0.20^2 + 2 × 0.60 × 0.40 × 0.10 × 0.20 × 0.50)
= Sqrt of (0.0036 + 0.0064 + 0.0048)
= Sqrt of (0.0148)
= 12.2%

Keynes argued that: Group of answer choices the distinction between the short run and the long run is irrelevant. the long run is a more important policy concern than the short run. the short run is a more important policy concern than the long run. both the short run and the long run are equally important.
Answer:
C. the short run is a more important policy concern than the long run.
Explanation:
John Maynard Keynes was a British economist born on the 5th of June, 1883 in Cambridge, England. He was famous for his brilliant ideas on government economic policy and macroeconomics which is known as the Keynesian theory. He later died on the 23rd of April, 1946 in Sussex, England.
According to the Keynesian Transmission Mechanism, the link between the money market and the goods and services market is indirect; because at first, short-term interest rates are lowered by an increase in the supply of reserves and then with time both the bond and bank loan rates falls. Consequently, this would make investments and aggregate demand (AD curve shifts rightward) to rise or increase as a result of the low cost of capital for investors and by extension it boost the level of production or quantity of output (real gross domestic product or Real GDP). This ultimately implies that, the interest rates affects the real and costs of capital (monetary changes).
Hence, Keynes argued that the short run is a more important policy concern than the long run and he was quoted as saying, in the long-run we're all dead.

In a job order cost system, direct labor and factory overhead applied are debited to individual jobs. How are these items treated in a process cost system and why?
Answer:
The way the costs of direct labor and factory overhead applied are treated in a process costing system is different from their treatment in a job costing system. In process costing system, they are debited to the Work in Process account.
The reason for this is that in process costing, costs are not directly attributable to individual jobs. Instead, costs are accumulated in Work in Process before they are assigned to individual production units.
Explanation:
Job order costing system accumulates costs for individual jobs while a process costing system accumulates costs in the Work in Process account and then allocates the costs to individuals units of production. The difference depends on the nature of the two systems and how possible it is to identify the costs and attribute them to individual jobs or units.

Andrew sold IBM stock to his sister Susan for $6,000. Andrew purchased the stock two years ago for $8,000. Susan sold the stock through her broker for $7,300. How much gain or loss did Susan recognize on the sale?
a. $700 loss
b. No gain or loss
c. $1,300 gain
Answer:
c. $1,300 gain
Explanation:
In this scenario, Susan recognized a $1,300 gain on this sale. This is because Susan originally purchased the stock for a total price of $6,000. When she sold the stock, she sold it for a higher price than what she originally paid for it therefore recognizing a gain.

Since it is assumed in the question that all customers paid the net-of-discount amount on January 6, 2022, that means they all paid within 10 days and enjoyed 1% discount. The anticipated discount allowed is calculated as follows:
Anticipated discount allowed = 1% * ($25,000 * 10) = 1% * $250,000 = $2,500
Since the sales was made on December 28, 2021, the anticipated discount allowed will reduce the 2021 income before tax by $2,500.
This is based on the Matching Concept which states that revenues and their related expenses must be recognized in the accounting period.
Therefore, the income before tax will be affected by discounts in 2021.

Suppose your foreign government, threatened with bankruptcy, decided to tax the interest income on its own bonds as part of an effort to rectify serious budgetary woes. What would you expect to see happen to the yields on these bonds?
a. You would expect the yields to rise due to increased default risk.
b. You would expect the yields to fell due to decreased default risk.
c. You would expect the yields to rise to compensate investors for the loss of the tax-exempt status.
d. You would expect the yields to fell due to increased default risk.
Answer:
a. You would expect the yields to rise due to increased default risk.
c. You would expect the yields to rise to compensate investors for the loss of the tax-exempt status.
Explanation:
The foreign government is threatened with bankruptcy which means that the government might be unable to pay their bond obligations. This means that the risk of default has now increased and so yields will rise as a result of this.
Tax exempt bonds like Municipal bonds generally have lower yields because of their tax savings. If the Government was to impose taxes on previously tax exempt bonds, people would be getting less and so would have to be compensated for this loss by increased yields.
Mr. Roy is a sincere and hardworking person who does his job quietly and does not like to argue much. He prefers to write notes and send written messages instead of face-to-face interaction. He is being given the responsibility of leading a team to handle a prestigious project. But before that he has to get the project approved by the board of directors. Can you suggest what style of communication he should use to make it a success?
Answer:
Assertive Communication Style
Explanation:
The best communication style for Mr. Roy in this scenario would be an Assertive Communication Style. This style would allow Roy to properly and efficiently explain to the board of directors the various details and benefits of the project in order for it to get approved. Since Mr. Roy does not like face-to-face interactions this would be the best style since, when written, this style is displayed as professional and to the point as opposed to other styles such as an aggressive or manipulative style which comes off as angry or demanding and can jeopardize the presentation.
In each succeeding payment on an installment note:
a. The amount that goes to interest expense increases.
b. The amount that goes to interest expense decreases.
c. The amount that goes to interest expense is unchanged.
d. The amounts paid for both interest and principal increase proportionately.
Answer:
In each succeeding payment on an installment note:
b. The amount that goes to interest expense decreases.
Explanation:
With each installment settled, the principal amount will continue to reduce and as a result, the amount that will be recognized as interest expense will also decrease. This is because the interest expense is calculated based on the principal amount, which is decreasing with each installment. The interest expense for a previous period will not be the same for the future period.
