Answer:
$9,583.33
Explanation:
The computation of the amount invested in the stock K is shown below
Let us assume the amount invested in stock K be Y
So according to this, following formula should be used
The Expected return of portfolio × Amount invested = Expected return of K × Amount invested in K + Expected return of L × Amount invested in L
0.101 × $ 15,000 = 0.088 × Y + 0.124 × ( $ 15,000 - Y )
$1,515 = 0.088Y + $ 1,860 - 0.124Y
0.036Y = $ 345
Y = $ 345 ÷ 0.036
= $9,583.33
An insurance company is thinking about offering discounts on its life insurance policies to nonsmokers. As part of its analysis, it selects 200 men who are 50 years old and asks them if they smoke at least one pack of cigarettes per day, and if they have ever suffered from heart disease. The results indicate that 20 out of 80 smokers and 15 out of 120 nonsmokers suffer from heart disease. At 5% level of significance the conclusion is:
Answer:
Test statistic
|Z| = 2.996 > 1.96 at 5% level of significance
Null hypothesis is accepted
There is difference between smokers and non-smokers
Explanation:
Step(i):-
Given size of the sample = 200
First Sample proportion
[tex]p^{-} _{1} = \frac{20}{80} = 0.25[/tex]
Second sample proportion
[tex]p^{-} _{2} = \frac{15}{120} = 0.125[/tex]
Null Hypothesis : p₁ = p₂
Alternative Hypothesis : p₁≠p₂
Step(ii):-
Test statistic
[tex]Z = \frac{p^{-} _{1}-p^{-} _{2} }{\sqrt{PQ(\frac{1}{n_{1} } +\frac{1}{n_{2} } )} }[/tex]
Where
[tex]P = \frac{n_{1} p_{1} + n_{2} p_{2} }{n_{1}+n_{2} }[/tex]
[tex]P = \frac{200X 0.25+ 200 X 0.125 }{400 } = 0.185[/tex]
Q = 1-P = 0.8125
[tex]Z = \frac{0.25-0.125 }{\sqrt{0.185X0.8125(\frac{1}{200} +\frac{1}{200 } )} }[/tex]
Z = -2.996
The calculated value |Z| = 2.996 > 1.96 at 5% level of significance
Null hypothesis is accepted
There is difference between smokers and non-smokers
Company A decided to expand its office space and purchased 20 new desks and chairs from a supplier on July 1st. The desks and chairs were purchased on credit, and the company had 60 days to pay for them. Company A paid for the desks and chairs on August 15th. How would the transaction on August 15th impact the accounting equation of Company A
Answer:
The July 1st purchase increased assets (furniture) and liabilities (accounts payable).
The August 15th payment decreases assets (cash) and decreases liabilities (accounts payable is gone)
Explanation:
The important thing about a balance sheet or the accounting equation is that they must balance. If the total numbers on both sides are not the same, then you did something wrong. If assets increase, liabilities or equity must increase also, and vice versa.

Book value dilution has real impact on individual shareholders.
Answer:
B. Market value dilution occurs when the net present value of a project is negative.
Explanation:
In the case when the net present value is negative that represent the firm would lose its investment made that automatically reduce the valuation of the business in near future so the market again determine the current stock price also there would be decrease in the market value of the stock so here the dilution would be taken place
Therefore the option B is correct
A physical count of supplies on hand at the end of May for Masters, Inc. indicated $1,253 of supplies on hand. The general ledger balance before any adjustment is $2,130. What is the adjusting entry for office supplies that should be recorded on May 31
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry is as follows;
Supplies expense Dr ($2,130 - $1,253) $877
To Supplies $877
(being the supplies expense is recorded)
Here the supplies expense is debited as it increased the expenses while on the other hand the supplies is credited as it decreased the assets. Also both the accounts contains normal debit balance
94. Averaging the deviations from the mean for a portfolio of securities will: A. compute the standard deviation. B. compute the variance. C. equal zero. D. equal the number of securities in the portfolio.
Answer: C. equal zero
Explanation:
The mean is average of the portfolio which means that some securities will be more than the mean and some will be less.
Some deviations will be positive, others will be negative.
When these deviations are added together, the negative deviations will cancel out the positive deviations which will lead to the average deviations being 0.
Crane Company incurs the following costs to produce 8500 units of a subcomponent: Direct materials $7140 Direct labor 9605 Variable overhead 10710 Fixed overhead 16200 An outside supplier has offered to sell Crane the subcomponent for $2.85 a unit. If Crane could avoid $3000 of fixed overhead by accepting the offer, net income would increase (decrease) by $230. $(740). $(5465). $6230.
Answer: Net income would increase by $6,230
Explanation:
Cost if offer is not accepted and Crane produces inhouse;
= 7,140 + 9,605 + 10,710 + 16,200
= $43,655
Cost if Crane accepts offer;
Crane could avoid $3,000 of fixed overhead = 16,200 - 3,000 = $13,200
Purchase price = 2.85 * 8,500 units = $24,225
Total cost = 24,225 + 13,200
= $37,425
Difference = 43,655 - 37,425
= $6,230
Income would increase by $6,230.
The following amounts were taken from the financial statements of Crane Company: 2017 2016 Total assets $790000 $900000 Net sales 680000 600000 Gross profit 300000 260000 Net income 54400 110000 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 50000 50000 Market price of common stock $40 $36 The profit margin ratio for 2017 is
Answer: 8%
Explanation:
Profit Margin = Net income / Net sales
2017 Net income ⇒ $54,400
2017 Net Sales ⇒ $680,000
Profit Margin₂₀₁₇ = 54,400/680,000
= 0.08
= 8%

A company used straight-line depreciation for an item of equipment that cost $16,950, had a salvage value of $4,200, and had a five-year useful life. After depreciating the asset for three complete years, the salvage value was reduced to $1,860 and its total useful life was increased from 5 years to 6 years. Determine the amount of depreciation to be charged against the machine during each of the remaining years of its useful life:
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $2,480
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total Purchase price= $16,950
Useful life= 5 years
Residual value= $4,200
First, we need to calculate the accumulated depreciation at the end of year 3.
Annual depreciation= (Total Purchase price - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (16,950 - 4,200) / 5
Annual depreciation= $2,550
Accumulated depreciation= 2,550*3= $7,650
Now, we can calculate the new depreciation expense:
Depreciable value= 16,950 - 7,650= $9,300
Useful life= 3 years
Salvage value= $1,860
Annual depreciation= (9,300 - 1,860) / 3
Annual depreciation= $2,480

July 1 Beginning Inventory 30 units at $16 $480 7 Purchases 80 units at $22 1760 22 Purchases 20 units at $18 360 $2600 A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 31 reveals that there are 35 units on hand. Using the average-cost method, the value of ending inventory is
Answer:
$640
Explanation:
Calculation for the value of ending inventory using average-cost method
Value of ending inventory=[(2,600÷30 units+80 units+20 units)*35]
Value of ending inventory=[($2600 ÷ 130) × 35]
Value of ending inventory=$20×35
Value of ending inventory=$640
Therefore Using the average-cost method, the value of ending inventory is $640

Explain the tax implications of compensation in the form of salary and wages from the perspectives of the employee and employer.
Answer:
The overview including its situation becomes discussed below.
Explanation:
Representatives provide Form W-4 continue providing recruitment information to another boss. Staff may use the W-4 to track retention mostly during the period as persistence becomes handled as if it has been maintained similarly mostly during the period again for benefits of the imposed fee. Employer's post-tax benefit of wages seems to be the benefit of employment minus the charitable donation of compensation. Throughout the case of open marketplace collaborations, the task presumption towards anti-performance compensation charged to something like the CEO as well as the 3 although the most deeply compensated officials, except the CFO, increases limited to $1,000,000 per individual annually.bear a coupon of 6 percent, payable semiannually. The bond matures in 20 years and has a $1,000 face value. Currently, the bond sells at $955. The yield to maturity (YTM) is
Answer:
6.4022%
Explanation:
The computation of the yield to maturity is as follows;
Here we applied the RATE formula
Given that
NPER = 20 × 2 = 40
PMT = $1,000 × 6% ÷ 2 = $30
PV = $955
FV = $1,000
The formula is shown below
= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
The present value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is
= 3.2011% × 2
= 6.4022%

You need to turn $13,593 dollars into $18,359 dollars in 8 years. Assuming you make no extra deposits, what interest rate would you need from a bank in order to accomplish this
Answer: 3.83%
Explanation:
$13,593 has to accrue to $18,359.
13,593 * ( 1 + r)⁸ = 18,359
( 1 + r)⁸ = 18,359/ 13,593
(1 + r)⁸ = 1.35062
1 + r = ⁸√1.35062
1 + r = 1.0383
r = 1.0383 - 1
r = 3.83%

Mr. West wishes to purchase a condominium for $240,000 in cash upon his retirement 10 years from now. How much should he deposit at the end of each month into an annuity paying 2.7% interest compounded monthly in order to accumulate the required amount
Answer:
He should deposit $1,744.37 at the end of each month.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value or the of condominium = $240,000
M = Monthly payment = ?
r = monthly interest rate = 2.7% / 12 = 0.027 / 12 = 0.00225
n = number of months = 10 years * 12 months = 120
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:
$240,000 = M * (((1 + 0.00225)^120 - 1) / 0.00225)
$240,000 = M * 137.585424499073
M = $240,000 / 137.585424499073
M = $1,744.37
Therefore, he should deposit $1,744.37 at the end of each month.

Cash dividends paid $35,600
Interest paid 17,800
Required:
Compute cash flows from financing activities using the above company information.
Answer: $8,400
Explanation:
Financing cashflow relates to transactions concerning debt and equity as these are the capital vehicles for a company. Dividends concern Equity and so are included as a Cash outflow. Interest however, is classified an operating activity.
Cashflow from financing activities;
= Additional short-term borrowings - Cash dividends paid
= 44,000 - 35,600
= $8,400

Left ventricular mass (LVM), determined from echocardiograms, is an important risk factor for subsequent cardiovascular disease. The researchers are interested in assessing whether LVM changes in children over a 4-year period. To help plan the main study, a pilot study is conducted where echocardiograms are obtained from 10 random children from the Bogalusa Heart Study at baseline and after 4 years of follow-up. The sample mean of LVM change over the 4-year study period is 18.9 g and the sample standard deviation is 26.4 g. For answering the questions (a) and (b) below, assume that the sample variance of LVM change in this pilot study is the true variance of LVM change in the population.(a). If the expected increase in LVM is 10 g, what is the power of such a study if a two-sided test is to be used with α = 0.05? (b). Since this is a pilot study, the main question of interest is how many subjects would be needed to detect an increase of 10 g in mean LVM over 4 years using a two-sided test with α = 0.05 and power = 80%? Suppose the researchers also want to get an idea of the true population variance σ 2 of LVM change in children over a 4-year period based on the pilot data. (c). Perform a hypothesis test to assess whether σ 2 is significantly different from 300. Use both critical-value and p-value methods. (d). Find a 95% confidence interval (CI) of σ 2 . Is the result consistent with that of (c)? Justify your answer.

A restaurant Soup4u uses 60 bags of tomatoes each month. The tomatoes are purchased from a supplier for a price of $80 per bag and an ordering cost of $20 per order. Soup4u's annual inventory holding cost percentage is 40%. Soup4u always uses economic order quantity for deciding how many tomato bags it should order. Which of the following will reduce their inventory to 1/3 of its current value without increasing their cost?
a) Reduction in ordering cost to 1/9 of it current value
b) Increasing holding cost to 9 times its current value
c) Reduction in ordering cost to 1/3 of it current value
d) Increasing holding cost to 3 times its current value
Answer:
a) Reduction in ordering cost to 1/9 of it current value
Explanation:
EOQ = √(2SD/H)
S = ordering cost = $20D = annual demand = 60 x 12 = 720 bagsH = annual holding cost = $80 x 40% = $32EOQ = √[(2 x $20 x 720) / $32] = 30
if you want to reduce inventory to 1/3 of its current value, then the order quantity should be 30 x 1/3 = 10 units per order
a) Reduction in ordering cost to 1/9 of it current value
EOQ = √[(2 x $20/9 x 720) / $32] = 10 ✓
inventory is decreased to 1/3 of current level
Effective December 15th, 2018, the operating leases will be recorded: A) as an asset and liability on the balance sheet of the lessee with a value equal to the estimated residual value of the leased asset. B) in the footnotes rather than on the balance sheet of the lessee. C) on the balance sheet of the lessee with value equal to the present value of future lease payments. D) only on the balance sheet and income statement of the lessor. E) only on the income statement of the lessee as each lease payment is expensed.
Answer: C) on the balance sheet of the lessee with value equal to the present value of future lease payments.
Explanation:
According to IFRS 16 and US GAAP ASC 842 which commenced Jan 1, 2019 and Dec 15, 2018 respectively, Lease payments are to be recognized on the balance sheet of the Lessee at the present value of the future payments on the lease.
The discount rate to be used will be implicitly stated in the lease agreement if both parties were able to determine it.
If a borrower can afford to make monthly principal and interest payments of 1000 and the lender will make a 30 year loan at 5 1/2%, or a 20 year loan at 4 1/2% what is the largest loan this buyer can afford
Answer:
The the largest loan this buyer can afford is 14,533.75.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
Step 1: Calculations of the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 30 year loan at 5 1/2%
PV30 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV30 = Present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 30 year loan at 5 1/2% =?
P = monthly payment = 1000
r = interest rate = 5 1/2% = 5.50% = 0.055
n = number of years = 30
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV30 = 1000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.055))^30) / 0.055)
PV30 = 1000 * 14.5337451711221
PV30 = 14,533.75
Step 2: Calculation of the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 20 year loan at 4 1/2%
PV20 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (2)
Where;
PV30 = Present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 20 year loan at 4 1/2% =?
P = monthly payment = 1000
r = interest rate = 4 1/2% = 4.50% = 0.045
n = number of years = 20
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV20 = 1000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.045))^20) / 0.045)
PV20 = 1000 * 13.0079364514537
PV20 = 13,007.94
Conclusion
Since 14,533.75 which is the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 30 year loan at 5 1/2% is greater than the 13,007.94 which is the present value or the loan the buyer can afford for a 20 year loan at 4 1/2%, it therefore implies that the the largest loan this buyer can afford is 14,533.75.
