Answer: A) shift the short-run aggregate supply curve to the left.
Explanation:
The oil and natural gas refining capacity in the Gulf of Mexico was destroyed which means that facilities in the Gulf will be unable to supply natural gas, gasoline and heating oil.
These are all very important commodities in the market and drive a lot of production. With the supply of these commodities decreasing and the subsequent slow down of production in multiple industries as a result, the aggregate supply curve will shift to the left in the short run to reflect the reduction in supply of goods in the economy.

Your friend Brian just graduated from medical school. He is excited to begin his new career but is worried about how he will be able to pay back his nearly $150000 in student loans if he were to become disabled. You have recommended a long-term own-occupation disability policy. Approximately how much will Brian pay per month in premiums for this type of policy if the monthly benefit is $6800
Answer:
$204
Explanation:
Monthly benefit = $6800
Monthly premium = monthly benefit * 3%
= 6800 * 3% = $204
Brian just graduated from school.
and under own occupation disability policy ranges between 1% to 3%.
since Brian is worried about his ability to pay back his student loan if he gets disabled we will assume that Brian has a higher risk to injury therefore he will most likely contribute more to his premium which ≈ $204

A firm has an average loan outstanding of $75,000,000 on a $100,000,000 line of credit. There is a commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the line, and the interest rate on the borrowed funds is LIBOR 175 basis points. LIBOR is 3.0%. What is the effective annual borrowing rate on the line of credit
Answer:
2.44%
Explanation:
Average outstanding loan = $75,000,000
Total line of credit = $100,000,000
Unused portion = $25,000,000 ($100,000,000-$75,000,000)
Commitment fee = 0.25%
Interest rate = 3.175% (3+0.175%)
Commitment fee = Unused portion*Commitment fee rate
Commitment fee = $25,000,000*0.0025
Commitment fee = $62,500
Interest = Average outstanding balance*Interest rate
Interest = $75,000,000*0.03175
Interest = $2,381,250
Total borrowing cost = Commitment fee + Interest
Total borrowing cost = $62,500 + $2,381,250
Total borrowing cost = $2,443,750
Effective borrowing rate = Total borrowing cost / Credit limit
Effective borrowing rate = $2,443,750/$100,000,000
Effective borrowing rate = 0.0244375
Effective borrowing rate = 2.44%

Quastrar received the acceptance letter on January 20. On January 17, Quastrar sent a letter revoking the offer. Hylavian received this letter on January 21. A contract between Quastrar and Hylavian: A. was not formed because the revocation was effective before the acceptance was sent. B. was not formed because the revocation was effective before the acceptance was received. C. was formed on January 18. D. was formed on January 20
Answer:
C. was formed on January 18
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that On Jan 8, Quastrar sent the letter for selling the restaurant supplies to Hylian company for $10,000. On Jan 17, Quastrar sent the revoking letter offer and the same would be received by Hylian on Jan 21. On Jan 18, Hylian mailed the letter regarding the acceptance to Quastrar and the same would be received by Quastrar on Jan 20.
So, the contract between them would be created on Jan 18 as the acceptance is sent on Jan 18 i.e. prior the revocation letter
Suppose that you are considering purchasing an investment property for $30 million. The property is expected to have a year 1 net operating income of $1.8 million.

If the annual interest rate on the loan is 5% with monthly payments and monthly compounding, what will the year 1 before-tax cash flow be for the property
Answer:
b. $640,465.32
Explanation:
Options include "$1,800,000, $640,465, ($132,558), $614,846, $704,512"
I/Y = 0.42% [5%/12]
N = 360 [12*30]
PV = -$18,000,000 [-30000000*60%]
FV = $0
So, we calculate the PMT using financial calculator
Monthly payment (CPT) = PMT(I/Y. N, PV, FV)
Monthly payment (CPT) = PMT(0.42%. 360, 18000000, 0)
Monthly payment (CPT) = $96,627.89
Before-tax cash flow = Expected year 1 net operating income - 12*PMT
Before-tax cash flow = $1,800,000 - 12*$96,627.89
Before-tax cash flow = $1,800,000 - $1,159,534.68
Before-tax cash flow = $640,465.32

Use the information presented in Northeastern Mutual Bank's balance sheet to answer the following questions. Bank's Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities and Owners' Equity Reserves $150 Deposits $1,200 Loans $600 Debt $200 Securities $750 Capital (owners' equity) $100 Suppose a new customer adds $100 to his account at Northeastern Mutual Bank, which the owners of the bank then use to make $100 worth of new loans. This would increase the loans account an
Answer:
A. Increase; Deposits
B. Initial Value 15; New Value 16
C. The aim of Capital requirement is to protect the interests of all depositors.
Explanation:
A. This would increase the loans account and INCREASE the DEPOSITS account since the double entry principle state that every Debit entry must have a corresponding Credit entry and every Credit entry must have a corresponding Debit entry, therefore based on the information given assuming the new customer adds the amount of $100 to his account at the Mutual Bank, which we were told that the owners of the bank then use to make $100 worth of new loans, in this case both the loans and deposits will be have to increase by the amount of $100.
B. Calculation to determine the leverage ratio from its initial value to a new value
Calculation for Leverage Ratio using this formula
Leverage Ratio = Reserves+Loans+Securities/Capital
Let plug in the formula
Leverage Ratio = $150+$600+$750/$100
Leverage Ratio = $1,500/$100
Leverage Ratio =15
Calculation for New Leverage Ratio
Using this formula
New Leverage Ratio=Reserves+(Loans+increase in loans)+Securities/Capital
Let plug in the formula
New Leverage Ratio=$150+($600+$100)+$750/$100
New Leverage Ratio=$150+$700+$750/$100
New Leverage Ratio=$1,600/$100
New Leverage Ratio=16
Therefore This would also bring the leverage ratio from its INITIAL VALUE of 15 to a NEW VALUE of 16
C.The aim of CAPITAL REQUIREMENT is to protect the interests of all depositors.
Kevin purchases 1,000 shares of Bluebird Corporation stock on October 3, 2020, for $115,000. On December 12, 2020, Kevin purchases an additional 750 shares of Bluebird stock for $80,500. According to market quotations, Bluebird stock is selling for $115 per share on 12/31/20. Kevin sells 500 shares of Bluebird stock on March 1, 2021, for $64,400.
Required:
a. What is the adjusted basis of Kevin’s Bluebird stock on December 31, 2020?
b. What is Kevin’s recognized gain or loss from the’ sale of Bluebird stock on March 1, 2021, assuming dial the shares sold are from the shares purchased on December 12, 2020?
c. What is Kevin’s recognized gain or loss from the sale of Bluebird stock on March 1, 2021, assuming that Kevin cannot adequately identify the shares sold?
Answer:a)$195,500 b) $10,735 c)$6,900
Explanation
a)adjusted basis of Kevin’s Bluebird stock on December 31, 2020?
1,000 shares was bought for $115,000
Therefore it was bought at $115 per share
Also
750 shares was bought at $80,500 and therefore bought at 107.33 per share
So in total of 1750 shares, He spent $195,500 ($115,000+ $80,500)
b.On December 12, 2020,he bought shares at 107.33 per share
500 shares would be 500 x $107.33=$53, 665
Therefore, Kevin’s recognized gain or loss from the’ sale of Bluebird stock on March 1, 2021 would be
$64,400- $53, 665 = $10,735
c.Assuming he cannot identify the shares sold, then we can say they are sold on a FIFO ( first in first out) basis. So we would consider the shares bought on October 3, 2020
so we have that
500 x $115=$57,500
$64,400 - $57,500 = $6,900

You are considering buying one of two types of health insurance, both with the same premium. You guess that in the next year there is a 1 percent chance of serious illness that will cost you $67,500 in health care, a 9 percent chance of a moderate illness that will cost you $2,500, and a 90 percent chance of regular health care needs that will cost you $500. One type of health insurance is emergency-only coverage; it will cover your expenses for serious illness but not moderate illness or regular care. The other type covers moderate illness and regular expenses, but its payout is capped, so it will not cover the cost of a serious illness.
Required:
a. What is the expected value of payouts from the emergency-only insurance? $.
b. What is the expected value of payouts from the capped-coverage insurance? $.
c. Which is the more risk-averse option?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The expected value of payout arise from emergency is
= 0.01 × $67,500
= $675
b. The expected value of payout arise from capped coverage insuance is
= (0.9 × $500) + (0.09 × $2,500)
= $675
c. The risk averse shows the minimum exposure with respect to the swings of the income or there would be the loss in the income. Since the payout amount is same in both the cases so here we considered option B

Earnings this year will be $3 per share, and investors expect a 12% rate of return on stocks facing the same risks as Web Cites. a. What is the sustainable growth rate
Answer:
6%
Explanation:
Sustainable growth rate is the rate of growth a company can afford in the long term
Sustainable growth rate (g) = b x ROE
b = retention rate. It is the portion of earnings that is not paid out as dividends = 30%
ROE = return on equity = 20%
Return on equity is an example of a profitability ratio.
Profitability ratios measure the ability of a firm to generate profits from its asset
g = 0.3 x 0.2 = 0.06 = 6%

Cusic Music Company is considering the sale of a new sound board used in recording studios. The new board would sell for $24,700, and the company expects to sell 1,640 per year. The company currently sells 1,990 units of its existing model per year. If the new model is introduced, sales of the existing model will fall to 1,660 units per year. The old board retails for $23,100. Variable costs are 53 percent of sales, depreciation on the equipment to produce the new board will be $1,035,000 per year, and fixed costs are $3,250,000 per year. If the tax rate is 24 percent, what is the annual OCF for the project
Answer: $9,524,922
Explanation:
The annual OCF of the project will be calculated as
= EBIT + Depreciation - taxes
First, we have to calculate the EBIT which will be:
= [ $24,700 x 1,640 - ( 1,990-1,660 x $23,100 ]
= $40,508,000 - (330 × $23100)
= $40,508,000 - $7,623,000
= $ 32,885,000
Variable cost will then be:
= $32,885,000 × 53%
= $32,885,000 x 0.53
= $ 17,429,050
Therefore, EBIT will be:
= $32,885,000 - $ 17,429,050 - Fixed cost - depreciation
= $32,885,000 - $ 17,429,050 - $3,250,000 - $1,035,000
= $11,170,950
Then, we calculate the value of tax which will be:
= $11,170,950 x 0.24
= $2,681,028
Therefore, OCF will be:
= EBIT + Depreciation - taxes
= $11,170,950 + $1,035,000 - $2,681,028
= $9,524,922

Jasmine owned rental real estate that she sold to her tenant in an installment sale. Jasmine acquired the property in 2008 for $1,840,000; took $644,000 of depreciation on it; and sold it for $1,012,000, receiving $101,200 immediately and the balance (plus interest at a market rate) in equal payments of $91,080 for 10 years. What is the nature of the recognized gain or loss from this transaction?
Answer:
The nature of recognized gain or loss from this transaction is known as capital gain or loss and its important for the computation of individual income taxes
Explanation:
Given the above information, the gain or loss on sale of real estate is computed as;
Original cost
$1,840,000
Less:
Depreciation
($644,000)
Current value of property
$1,196,000
Less:
Sales value
($1,012,000)
Loss on sale
$184,000
Here, there is loss on sale because sales is less than the present value of the property taken into consideration, hence a capital loss is recognized.
