Answer: b) left; increases.
Explanation:
When there is public dissaving, the supply of loanable funds shifts to the left, and the real interest rate (r) increases.
Loanable funds are made available by people depositing their money for saving in the bank. If people therefore reduce their saving, the supply of loanable funds will reduce and the curve will therefore shift left.
As a result of this left shift/ reduction in supply, interest rates will have to increase to reflect the relative scarcity of the loanable funds.

A stock has had returns of 16 percent, 23 percent, 15 percent, −11 percent, 30 percent, and −5 percent over the last six years.What are the arithmetic and geometric returns for the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Arithmetic return % Geometric return %
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the arithmetic and geometric return for the stock is shown below:
Arithmetic return is
= (16% + 23% + 15% - 11% + 30% - 5%) ÷ 6
= 11.33%
And,
Geometric return is
= ((1 + 16%) × (1 + 23%) × (1 + 15%) × (1 - 11%) × (1 + 30%) × (1 - 5%))^(1 ÷ 6) - 1
= 10.33%

Knowledge Check 01 An unfavorable variance of $5,000 in cost of goods sold is determined by comparing the actual results (10,000 units) and the flexible budget (10,000 units). What type of variance is described?a. Activity variance b. Spending variance c. Revenue variance
Answer:
The correct option is b. Spending variance.
Explanation:
Spending variance can be described as the difference between the actual cost and budgeted cost at the actual activity level.
Since cost of goods sold (COGS) is the direct costs incurred to produce the goods that is sold by a firm, it therefore implies that the amount of variance in cost of goods sold can be determined by comparing the actual results and the flexible budget at the actual activity level or actual units.
Based on the explanation above, the correct option is b. Spending variance. That is, Spending variance is an unfavorable variance of $5,000 in cost of goods sold is determined by comparing the actual results (10,000 units) and the flexible budget (10,000 units).
(Preferred stock valuation) You are considering an investment in one of two preferred stocks, TCF Capital or TAYC Capital Trust. TCF Capital pays an annual dividend of $2.16, while TAYC Capital pays an annual dividend of $1.94. If your required return is 11percent, what value would you assign to the stocks?
The value of the TCF Capital preferred stock is $______ per share
Answer:
Price of TCF Capital = $19.6363 rounded off to $19.64
Price of TAYC Capital = $17.6363 rounded off to $17.64
Explanation:
The value of current price of a preferred stock can be calculated using the formula for perpetuity. A preferred stock qualifies as perpetuity because its dividend payments are of a constant amount, are paid after equal intervals of time and are for an indefinite time period. The formula for price of the stock is as follows,
P0 = Dividend / r
Where,
r is the required rate of return
Price of TCF Capital = 2.16 / 0.11
Price of TCF Capital = $19.6363 rounded off to $19.64
Price of TAYC Capital = 1.94 / 0.11
Price of TAYC Capital = $17.6363 rounded off to $17.64
If a one-year bond has a face value of $5,000 and is sold for $4,500, what is the interest rate on the bond?
Answer:
11.1%
Explanation:
The face value is $5000
It is sold for $4,500
Therefore the interest rate of this bond can be calculated as follows
$5000-$4500
= 500
500/4500 × 100
= 0.111 × 100
= 11.1%
Hence the interest rate is 11.1%

Assuming a 360 day year, the interest charged by the bank at the rate of 6%, on a 90 day discounted note payable of 100,000 is:_______.A. $6,000 B. $1,500 C. $ 500 D. $ 3,000
Answer:B. $1,500
Explanation:
Interest revenue is money earned when an entity or individual loans money to another. it can also be regarded as money accrued from investments. IT is calculated as
Interest Revenue = Principal x Rate x Time
= $100,000 x 6% x 90/360
= $100,000 x 0.06 x 0.25
= $1,500
Therefore the interest charge by the bank is $1500.

$49.99 or a sale on controllers for $35. Since the controller was on sale, he
decides to buy it.
Answer:
Opportunity cost of call of duty = $14.99 (Negative effect)
Explanation:
Given:
Cost of call of duty = $49.99
Cost of controller = $35
Find:
Opportunity cost of call of duty
Computation:
Opportunity cost of call of duty = Cost of call of duty - Cost of controller

Suppose a tax of $5 per unit is imposed on a good, and the tax causes the equilibrium quantity of the good to decrease from 200 units to 100 units. The tax decreases consumer surplus by $450 and decreases producer surplus by $300. The deadweight loss from the tax is:_____
Answer:
$250
Explanation:
Deadweight loss from the tax = 1/2*Tax rate*(Quantity change)
Deadweight loss from the tax = 1/2* $5 * (200-100)
Deadweight loss from the tax = 1/2* $5 * 100
Deadweight loss from the tax = $250
Thus, the deadweight loss from the tax is $250
Company A provides corn to Company B to make into corn syrup. Company B sells its corn syrup to Company C, who makes ice cream for sale at Company D. Company D is a ___________ in the supply chain of ice cream.
A. tier 2 supplier
B. tier 1 supplier

B. Real-time mirroring
C. Cold site
D. Hot site
Answer:
The appropriate option for an organization, like an airline, that cannot tolerate any downtime or any loss of data is:
B. Real-time mirroring
Explanation:
Real-time mirroring copies data in real-time from one storage device to another storage device. This ensures that the copied data is an exact copy of the data from the original device. Where office space is needed because of a disaster, a cold site is appropriate. On the other hand, a hot site is a commercial disaster recovery service for continued computer and data processing operations.

CV buying power was $208,289.045 and for 40 years before the start of each year forty years ago.
In point b:
Power CV = $1.9 million
Future accumulated value:
[tex]= \$ \ 1,900,000 \times (1 + 4.00 \%) ^ {40}\\\\= \$ \ 1,900,000 \times 4.80102063\\\\= \$ \ 9,121,939.2[/tex]
The future accumulated value will be= $9,121,939.2.
Feeling "He who does the work of the King ought to be King," Pope Zacharias helped whom become King of the Franks in 751?
a. Charles Martel
b. Childeric
c. Pepin the Short
Answer:
(C) Pepin The Short
Explanation:
In 741AD, Pepin took over from his father as Mayor of the Palace. He ruled alongside his elder brother.
In 743AD, Pepin and his brother chose Childeric to be the apparent King of the Franks. Both brothers still wielded the functional power to the throne. Childeric was just to 'appear to be' the King (unknown to him though).
In 747AD, Pepin's brother stepped down (intentionally and on his own accord). Pepin then became the only ruler of the entire Frankish territory.
In 751AD, Pepin, without full support from his clan, lured Childeric into monastery in order to remove him as the 'face of Francia'.
Pope Zacharias helped Pepin to be proclaimed King of the Franks, against all opposition.
Favorable volume variances may be harmful when:
1) machine repairs cause work stoppages.
2) supervisors fail to maintain an even flow of work.
3) production in excess of normal capacity cannot be sold.
4) there are insufficient sales orders to keep the factory operating at normal capacity.
Answer: production in excess of normal capacity cannot be sold.
Explanation:
We say that there's a favorable volume variance in a situation whereby the production that's budgeted is less than the actual production.
Favorable volume variances may be harmful when production in excess of normal capacity cannot be sold. This is because since it can't be sold, this can bring about losses to the business.
Mesa Corp. allocates overhead to production on the basis of direct labor costs Mesa's total estimated overhead is $450,000 and estimated direct labor is $180,000. Determine the amount of overhead to allocated to finished goods inventory if there is $20,000 of total direct labor cost in the cost in the jobs in the finished goods inventory. A. $8,000 B. $20,000 C. $70,000 D. $50,000 E. $90,000
Answer:
The correct option is D. $50,000.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Overhead allocated to finished goods inventory = (Total direct labor cost in the cost in the jobs in the finished goods inventory / Estimated direct labor) * Total estimated overhead ................. (1)
Where;
Total direct labor cost in the cost in the jobs in the finished goods inventory = $20,000
Estimated direct labor = $180,000
Total estimated overhead = $450,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Overhead allocated to finished goods inventory = ($20,000 / $180,000) * $450,000 = 0.111111111111111 * $450,000 = $50,000
Therefore, the correct option is D. $50,000.
Amy is single. During 2020, she determined her adjusted gross income was $12,000. During the year, Amy also contributed $2,500 to a Roth IRA. What is the maximum saver's credit she may claim for the year
Answer:
$1,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the maximum saver's credit she may claim for the year
For us to know the maximum saver's credit amount that she may claim for the year we have to know the standard maximum contribution amount that is eligibe for the maximum saver's credit which is the amount of $2,000 and then we multiply the amount by the standard filing status and AGI percentage which is 50%
Hence:
Maximum saver's credit=$2,000*50%
Maximum saver's credit=$1,000
Therefore the maximum saver's credit she may claim for the year will be $1,000
(Cost of debt) Sincere Stationery Corporation needs to raise $500,000 to improve its manufacturing plant. It has decided to issue a $1,000 par value bond with a 14 percent annual coupon rate and a 10-year maturity. The investors require a 9 percent rate of return. a. Compute the market value of the bonds. b. What will the net price be if flotation costs are 10.5 percent of the market price?
Answer:
a. $1,320.88
b. $1,182.19
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. For market value of the bond
Given that
Rate = 9%
NPER = 10
PMT = $1,000 * 14% = $140
FV = $1,000
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the present value is $1,320.88 i.e. equivalent to the market value of the bonds
b. Now the net price be
= Market price × (1 - flotation cost)
= $1,320.88 × (1 - 0.105)
= $1,182.19
If we are given a periodic interest rate, say a monthly rate, we can find the nominal annual rate by multiplying the periodic rate by the number of periods per year. a. True b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
A periodic interest rate can be defined as an interest rate that is realizable on an investment such as securities (bonds) or charged on a loan over a specific period of time.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
[tex] Periodic \; interest \; rate = \frac {annual \; interest \; rate}{number \; of \; compounding \; periods} [/tex]
Hence, if we are given a periodic interest rate, say a monthly rate, we can find the nominal annual rate by multiplying the periodic rate by the number of periods per year.

Bond A sells at $975. Bond B sells at $1010. Both bonds have a coupon rate of 4%. All else equal, which bond has more interest rate risk?
Answer:
Bond A
Explanation:
Interest rate risk is the likelihood of loss to bondholders emanating from an increase in a bond's market interest rate which is also the yield to maturity.
However, a bond is issued at a premium when its market interest rate is lower than the coupon rate and at a discount when the reverse is the case.
In this instance, bond A was issued at a discount while B was issued at a premium, hence, the market interest rate of Bond A is higher and it has a higher interest rate risk due to its yield to maturity which made it trade at a discount to the face value of $1000 per bond

Suppose that interest rates rise by 2 percent on both RSAs and RSLs. The expected annual change in net interest income of the bank is:______
Answer: $300,000
Explanation:
One year Rate Sensitive Assets (RSA) = Short term consumer loans (one year maturity) + Three month treasury bills + Six month treasury notes + 30 year floating rate mortgages ( rate adjusted every nine months)
= 150 + 130 + 135 + 140
= $555 million
One Year Rate Sensitive liabilities (RSL) = Three month CDs + Three month bankers acceptances + Six month commercial paper + One year time deposits
= 140 + 120 + 160 + 120
= $540 million
RSA - RSL = 555 - 540 = $15 million
Change in interest income = Difference between RSA and RSL * change in interest rates
= 15,000,000 * 2%
= $300,000
A produce distributor uses 776 packing crates a month, which it purchases at a cost of $9 each. The manager has assigned an annual carrying cost of 36 percent of the purchase price per crate. Ordering costs are $31. Currently the manager orders once a month. How much could the firm save annually in ordering and carrying costs by using the EOQ? (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) Savings $_________ per year
Answer:
$261.42
Explanation:
economic order quantity (EOQ) = √(2SD/H)
S = cost per order = $31
D = annual demand = 776 x 12 = 9,312
H = holding cost = $9 x 36% = $3.24
EOQ = √[(2 x $31 x 9,312) / $3.24] = √178,192.59 = 422.13 ≈ 422
total ordering and holding costs considering EOQ:
ordering costs = (9,312 / 422) x $31 = $684.06
holding costs = $3.24 x (422/2) = $683.64
total = $1,367.70
current costs:
ordering costs = $31 x 12 = $372
holding costs = $3.24 x (776/2) = $1,257.12
total = $1,629.12
annual savings = $1,629.12 - $1,367.70 = $261.42
