Answer: c. 100%
Explanation:
When contributing to Traditional Individual Investment Accounts (IRAs), you are allowed to deduct these contributions either fully or partially from your taxable income which means that you get to pay less taxes.
When you retire however, and the retirement distributions begin to come in, those distributions will be subject to taxes because you didn't pay taxes on them when you were contributing to the IRA. If you fully deducted the contributions, that means your IRA distributions would have to be fully taxable as well.

Gamble Corporation had beginning inventory $100,000, cost of goods purchased $700,000, and ending inventory $140,000. What was Gamble's inventory turnover? Group of answer choices 5 times. 5.5 times. 5.83 times. 6.6 times.
Answer:
5.83 times
Explanation:
The computation of the Gamble's inventory turnover is given below:
As we know that
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ (ending inventory + opening inventory) ÷ 2
= $700,000 ÷ ($140,000 + $100,000) ÷ 2
= $700,000 ÷ $120,000
= 5.83 times
An investor prefers to invest in companies that have high operating leverage. How can this be accomplished if the investor also requires a portfolio beta of 1.0?
A. Invest 50% in cyclical stocks and 50% in firms with high operating leverage
B. Invest 50% in a market index fund and 50% in firms with high operating leverage
C. Finance part of the portfolio with borrowing
D. Invest a portion of the portfolio in U.S. Treasury securities
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Systemic risk are risk that are inherent in the economy. They cannot be diversified away. They are also known as market risk. examples of this risk include recession, inflation, and high interest rates. Investors should seek compensation for systemic risk. Systemic risk is measured by beta. The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
Market index fund is riskless and would have a beta of 1
by investing half in a riskless and half in a risky asset. beta would be equal to 1
Hot and Cold has annual sales of $950,000, annual depreciation of $125,000, and net working capital of $243,000. The tax rate is 40 percent and the profit margin is 8 percent. The firm has no interest expense. What is the amount of the operating cash flow?
Answer:
$201,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of the operating cash flow
Using this formula
OCF=(Annual sales*Profit margin )+Annual depreciation
Let plug in the formula
OCF = ($950,000*.08)+ $125,000
OCF=$76,000+$125,000
OCF=$201,000
Therefore the amount of the operating cash flow is $201,000
You have just deposited $9,000 into an account that promises to pay you an annual interest rate of 6.1 percent each year for the next 7 years. You will leave the money invested in the account and 15 years from today, you need to have $25,650 in the account. What annual interest rate must you earn over the last 8 years to accomplish this goal
Answer:
Annual interest rate = 8.23%
Explanation:
The annual interest rate i must have earn over the last 8 years to accomplish this goal is:
= ((25650/(9000*(1+6.1%)^7))^(1/8))-1
= ((25650/(9000*1.513588))^(1/8)) - 1
= ((25650/13622.29)^(1/8) - 1
= 1.882943323038931^(1/8) - 1
= 1.08231743862 - 1
= 0.08231743862
= 8.231743862%
= 8.23%

Suppose a commercial banking system has $40,000 of outstanding checkable deposits and actual reserves of $4,500. If the reserve ratio is 10 percent, the banking system can expand the supply of money by the maximum amount of
Answer: $50000
Explanation:
Based on the information that's been given in the question, firstly we need to calculate the excess reserves which will be:
= $4500 - (10% × $40000)
= $4500 - $4000
= $500
Then, the money supply that's expanded will be:
= Excess reserve / Reserve ratio
= $5000 / 10%
= $5000 / 0.1
= $50000
Therefore, the answer is $50,000.
Classify each of the following items as a final good or service or an intermediate good or service, and identify which is a component of consumption expenditure, investment, or government expenditure on goods and services. A. Upper A new limousine for the president B. New airplanes bought by United Airlines C. Upper A textbook bought by a student D. Packing boxes bought by Amazon
Answer:
final good government expenditure
final goods investment
final good ; consumption expenditure
intermediate good ; investment
Explanation:
A final good is a good that is consumed directly by consumers e.g. the textbooks bought by a student does not need to go through further production before it is suitable for use by the student.
An intermediate good is a good that is used in the production of the final good. e.g. the packing boxes bought by amazon will be used in packaging the final good demanded by consumers.
Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :
spending on durables - e.g. laptop
spending on nondurables - e.g. clothes, food
spending on services - e.g. payment of hospital bill
the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods
Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services
the airplane purchased by the airline would be used to provide services for airline customers. Also, the packing boxes bought by Amazon would be used in delivering goods to customers
Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment. The purchase of a new limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure

D) All of the above.
Answer:
A. Without changing her total expenditure, she could increase her utility by consuming more jam and less juice.
B. Straight line Indifference curve has negative slope.
D. All of the above.
Explanation:
Isobel can increase her total utility by consuming more of jam and less of juice. Her total expenditure will not change and therefore price of jam is 10 cents while price of juice is 5 cents. She can have more jam because marginal utility for jam is double than juice.
Consider the case of a good with external benefits. If you plant trees in front of your house, the neighborhood is more attractive, and trees create shade, provide oxygen, and a home for birds and squirrels. Thus, the benefits to society are greater than the benefits to you. If the planting of trees is a private choice, you will plant too few trees relative to the socially optimal quantity, because the private value to you is less than the social value.
1. Which of the following would not help to correct this problem?
a. Subsidize consumer purchases of trees to plant.
b. Tax homeowners who plant trees.
c. Subsidize nurseries that sell trees for planting.
d. Have the government provide trees to homeowners.
e. All of the above would help to correct the problem.
2. If the government pays for a program to increase the planting of trees, who will win and lose from the program?
Answer:
1. b. Tax homeowners who plant trees.
2. Win - society and consumer
Loose - tax payers and producers.
Explanation:
1. a). If the good creates a positive externalities, then the [tex]\text{private benefits from the good are less than the social benefits}[/tex] from the good.
In the context, the following would not help to correct the problem :
Taxing the homeowners who plant the trees.
If the government taxes or takes some money form the people or the house owners who plant trees in their neighborhood will discourage the people to plant the trees and would not help in correcting the problem.
2. If the government pays for the program that helps to increase the planting the trees, then,
the one who will win from this program is : society and the consumers
the one who will loose : tax payers and the producers as the government would impose more tax in order to fuel the project.

Anna works on an assembly line where it takes her 20 minutes to produce 150 units of a product needed to fill a container. It takes her an additional 5 minutes to transport the container to Josh, who works at the next station. The company uses a safety stock of 20%. The current assembly line uses 5 kanbans between Anna’s and Josh’s stations. What is the demand for the product? Calculate the answer in units per minute. Calculate in Excel and round down to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
Hence the demand for the product D = 25 units per min.
Explanation:
Units produced (C) = 150
Time for production = 20 min
Time for transport = 5 min
Total time (T) = 20 + 5 = 25 min
Safety stock (S) = 20%
Number of Kanban (y) = 5
Demand unit per min = D
[tex]y = D*T*(1+x)/C\\5 = D*25*(1+0.2)/150\\30 = D*1.2\\D = 30/12*10[/tex]
D= 25 units per min.
Bengal Co. provides the following sales forecast for the next three months: JulyAugustSeptember Sales units 8,500 9,200 5,950 The company wants to end each month with ending finished goods inventory equal to 20% of the next month's sales. Finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,700 units. The budgeted production units for August are:
Answer:
Production= 8,550
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales units 8,500 9,200 5,950
Desired ending inventory= 20% of the next month's sales.
To calculate the production for August, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 9,200 + (5,950*0.2) - (9,200*0.2)
Production= 9,200 + 1,190 - 1,840
Production= 8,550

From the standpoint of the issuing company, a disadvantage of using bonds as a means of long-term financing is that Group of answer choices bond interest is deductible for tax purposes. interest must be paid on a periodic basis regardless of earnings. income to stockholders may increase as a result of trading on the equity. the bondholders do not have voting rights.
Answer:
interest must be paid on a periodic basis regardless of earnings.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.
The disadvantages of bonds are listed below as;
1. Bonds can decrease a person's return on equity.
2. Bonds require a payment of the principal amount.
3. Bonds typically require a payment of periodic interest.
Generally, most bonds with shorter maturity time respond less dramatically to changes in interest rates when compared to bonds having longer maturity. Thus, the risk associated with short bonds isn't really significant because their interest rates are less likely to change substantially within that short period of time unlike bonds with longer maturity.
Hence, regardless of the earnings by bondholders, interest must be paid on a periodic basis on a long-term bond.
Pick the false statement from below. Multiple Choice Expectations of lower inflation rates in the future tend to lower the slope of the term structure of interest rates. The term structure of interest rates includes both an inflation premium and an interest rate risk premium. The term structure of interest rates and the time to maturity are always directly related. The real rate of return has minimal, if any, effect on the slope of the term structure of interest rates. The interest rate risk premium increases as the time to maturity increases.
Answer: The term structure of interest rates and the time to maturity are always directly related.
Explanation:
The term structure of interest rates shows the relationship between interest rates and the different maturity periods of bonds. Normally, these move in the same direction i.e., the higher the maturity period, the higher the interest rate.
This however is not a given. It might be expected for instance that interest rates might drop in future. In such a situation, the interest might reduce with a longer maturity period which would depict an inverse relationship instead of a direct one.
Develop a production plan and calculate the annual cost for a firm whose demand forecast is fall, 10,000; winter, 8,000; spring, 7,000; summer, 12,000. Inventory at the beginning of fall is 500 units.
Answer: Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question
answer :
production plan ( attached below )
Total annual cost = $416,600
Explanation:
Given data of the question:
Demand forecast
Fall = 10,000 , winter = 8,000 , spring = 7,000, summer = 12,000 .
Number of workers = 30, Cost of hiring = $100,
The beginning inventory = 500, Laying cost = $200,
Inventory holding cost = $5/unit, backorder cost = $10/unit, Straight time cost = $5/hr , Overtime cost = $8/hour, productivity = 0.5 unit/worker hours
season days = 6
number of units produced by a(1) worker in 1 season = 0.5 * 8 * 60 = 240unit
∴ number of units produced by 30 workers = 240 * 6 = 7200 units
use the given data to develop a production plan using excel worksheet.
Production plan of firm ( attached below )
Total Annual cost =SUM( G12:G17 ) = ( 2000 + 4000 + 2000 + 23000 + 336,000 + 49600 ) = $416,600

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Why do you think demand analysis is essential for businesses?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Demand analysis is the process of understanding the customer demand for a product or service in a target market. Companies use demand analysis techniques to determine if they can successfully enter a market and generate expected profits to expand their business operations. It also gives a better understanding of the high-demand markets for the company’s offerings, using which businesses can determine the viability of investing in each of these markets. The importance of demand analysis in the business decision is that it helps firms design their pricing policy. The Firm can choose either to lower or raise a product’s price by observing the trend of consumer demand for that product. Producers can’t fix the price for their products without first understanding the market demand for them. These are reasons why I think demand analysis is essential for businesses

In the Shaping Department of Jenkins Company the unit materials cost is $3.00 and the unit conversion cost is $1.80. The department transferred out 8,000 units and had 2,000 units in ending work in process 20% complete. If all materials are added at the beginning of the process, the total cost to be assigned to the ending work in process is?
Answer:
$6,720
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the total cost to be assigned to the ending work in process is
First step
Materials cost=2000 units * 100%
Materials cost=2,000
Conversion costs=2000 units *20%
Conversion costs= 400
Now let determine the ending work in process
Ending work in process=(2000 units *$3.00 per unit)+(400 units *$1.80 per unit)
Ending work in process= $6,000+$720
Ending work in process=$6,720
Therefore the total cost to be assigned to the ending work in process is $6,720
Summer 20 Corp estimates overhead based on direct labor hours and has given you the following information:
Estimated Manufacturing Overhead Costs 2020 $405,000
Estimated Direct Labor Hours for 2020 220,000
Actual Direct Labor Hours for 2020 202,000
Manufacturing Overhead Account Debit Entries total $380,000
1. Determine the predetermined overhead allocation rate stated with cents.
2. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead that was allocated.
3. Calculate the amount Summer 20 Corp is over or under allocated during the year.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 405,000 / 220,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.841 per DLH
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.841*202,000
Allocated MOH= $371,882
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 380,000 - 371,882
Underapplied overhead= $8,118
