Explanation:
Here is the complete question :
If the reserve requirement was 13% and a bank customer makes a deposit of $440 at the Springfield Bank, the initial result would be:
O a $57.2 increase in excess reserves and a $382.8 increase in required reserves.
O a $382.8 increase in excess reserves and a $57.2 increase in required reserves.
O a $57.2 increase in required reserves and a $2,944.6 increase in excess reserves.
O a $440 increase in required reserves and a $2.944.6 increase in excess reserves.
Reserves is the total amount of a bank's deposit that is not given out as loans
There are two types of reserves
Required reserveExcess reserveRequired reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits
0.13 x $440 = $57.20
Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves
$440 - $57.20 = $382.80

The CFO of the company believes that an appropriate annual interest rate on this investment is 9%. What is the present value of this uneven cash flow
Answer:
$1,685,335
Explanation:
Hi, your question is incomplete, I have searched for the full question online and I have uploaded it as an image below.
Uneven cash flows are cash flows that are received in uneven amounts and possibly uneven periods as well.
We can simply use the CFj function of a financial calculator to determine the present value of uneven cash flows as follows :
$0 CF 0
$250,000 CF 1
$20,000 CF 2
$330,000 CF 3
$450,000 CF 4
$550,000 CF 5
$375, 000 CF 6
i/yr = 4 %
Shift NPV gives $1,685,335
Therefore,
The present value of this uneven cash flow is $1,685,335

Carla Vista Company purchases Sandhill Company for $2470000 cash on January 1, 2021. The book value of Sandhill Company’s net assets, as reflected on its December 31, 2020 balance sheet is $1923000. An analysis by Carla Vista on December 31, 2020 indicates that the fair value of Sandhill’s tangible assets exceeded the book value by $190500, and the fair value of identifiable intangible assets exceeded book value by $142500. How much goodwill should be recognized by Carla Vista Company when recording the purchase of Sandhill Company?
Answer: $214000
Explanation:
The amount of goodwill that should be recognized by Carla Vista Company when recording the purchase of Sandhill Company will go thus:
Book value of net assets = $1923000
Add: Excess fair value of tangible asset = $190500
Add: Excess fair value of intangible assets = $142500
Fair value of net assets = $1923000 + $190500 + $142500 = $2256000
Therefore, Goodwill will be:
=Cash paid for purchase - Fair value of net assets
= $2470000 - $2256000
= $214000

A bank currently has $100,000 in checkable deposits and $15,000 in actual reserves. If the reserve ratio is 20 percent, the bank has ________ in money-creating potential. If the reserve ratio is 14 percent, the bank has ________ in money-creating potential. multiple choice
Answer:
A bank currently has $100,000 in checkable deposits and $15,000 in actual reserves. If the reserve ratio is 20 percent, the bank has __$80,000__ in money-creating potential. If the reserve ratio is 14 percent, the bank has ___$86,000__ in money-creating potential.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Checkable deposits = $100,000
Actual reserves = $15,000
Required reserves = $20,000 ($100,000 * 20%)
Excess reserves = -$5,000 ($15,000 - $20,000)
Money-creating potential = $80,000 ($100,000 - $20,000)
Total amount of money the bank can create = $500,000 ($100,000/20%)
b) Checkable deposits = $100,000
Actual reserves = $15,000
Required reserves = $14,000 ($100,000 * 14%)
Excess reserves = $1,000 ($15,000 - $14,000)
Money-creating potential = $86,000 ($100,000 - $14,000)
Total amount of money the bank can create = $714,286 ($100,000/14%)
The stock in Pal-Maine Foods has a beta of .85. The expected return on the market is 11.50 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.85 percent. What is the required return on the company's stock?
Answer:
the required rate of return is 10.20%
Explanation:
The computation of the required rate of return is shown below;
We know that
= risk free rate of return + beta × (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
= 2.85% + 0.85 × (11.50% - 2.85%)
= 2.85% + 7.3525%
= 10.20%
hence, the required rate of return is 10.20%

Todd Silver is the purchasing agent for Moore Co. One of his suppliers, Gem Co. offers Todd a free vacation to France if he buys at least 75% of Moore's supplies from Gem Co. Todd, who was angry because Moore Co. has not given him a raise in over a year, is considering the offer. Write your recommendation to Todd.
Answer:
Ethically the offer made by Gem Co. is not suitable because Todd will buy 75% of the Moore Co. supplies from Gem Co. which could be of low quality and or expensive because if Todd accepts the offer Gem Co. would know that Todd will purchase 75% of supplies from Gem Co. and not from any other supplier so the quality and cost can be varied easily and no complaint will be made by Todd, but this can cause Todd to lose his job at Moore Co. and ethically breaching his duties of professional behavior and due care.

Assume that you invest 5 percent of your salary and receive the full 5 percent match from East Coast Yachts. What EAR do you earn from the match
Answer:
The EAR you earn from the match is 100%.
Explanation:
Since a full 5 percent match will be received if 5 percent of your salary is invested, this implies that 100% will be earned by you from the match up to 5%.
For example, if 5 percent of your salary that you put in is $200, the East Coast Yachts will match the $200. This indicates that effective annual return (EAR) earned by you from the match is 100%.
Therefore, the EAR you earn from the match is 100%.
Micro, Inc., started the year with net fixed assets of $74,675. At the end of the year, there was $95,825 in the same account, and the company's income statement showed depreciation expense of $12,795 for the year. What was the company's net capital spending for the year

Bramble Company purchased a new van for floral deliveries on January 1, 2018. The van cost $66000 with an estimated life of 5 years and $13500 salvage value at the end of its useful life. The double-declining-balance method of depreciation will be used. What is the balance of the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of 2019
Answer:
$42,240
Explanation:
The computation of the balance of the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of 2019 is as follows;
But before that the depreciation rate is
= 1 ÷ 5 × 2
= 40%
For the first year, the depreciation expense is
= $66,000 × 40%
= $26,400
Now for the 2019, the depreciation expense is
= ($66,000 - $26,400) × 40%
= $15,840
Now the accumulated depreciation is
= $26,400 + $15,840
= $42,240
Tamarisk, Inc. purchased a delivery truck for $29,200 on January 1, 2020. The truck has an expected salvage value of $2,200, and is expected to be driven 100,000 miles over its estimated useful life of 8 years. Actual miles driven were 16,100 in 2020 and 12,800 in 2021.
Required:
Compute depreciation expense for 2020 and 2021 using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the units-of-activity method, and (3) the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
1. $3375
$3375
2. $4347
$3456
3 $7300
$5475
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $29,200 - $2,200,) / 8 = $3375
depreciation expense each year is $3375
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/8 = 0.25
2020 = 0.25 x 29200 = 7300
2021 = 0.25x( 29200 - 7300)
Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
Downtown Stores can issue equity at a flotation cost of 8.76 percent and debt at 5.93 percent. The firm currently has a debt-equity ratio of .37 but prefers a ratio of .35. What should this firm use as their weighted average flotation cost
Answer:
8.03%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
We know that
Total capital = Debt + Equity
= 0.35 + 1
= 1.35
Now
Weight of debt(Wd) = Value of debt ÷ Total capital
= 0.35 ÷ 1.35
Weight of equity(We) = 1 ÷ 1.35
Now Weighted average flotation cost is:
= Flotation cost of equity × weight of equity + Flotation cost of debt × Weight of debt
= (8.76% × 1 ÷ 1.35) + (5.93% × 0.35 ÷ 1.35)
= 8.03%

In 1 to 2 paragraphs, analyze how a person's ethics or values might affect his performance on the job
Answer:
In simple words, Individual workers' ethical convictions have an impact on team and department productivity as well as individual achievement. Being an ethical worker allows you to be a stronger team participant constantly contributing positively in group situations and just never impeding collective success.
Even though all individuals are important in and of themselves, ethical individuals can be more monetarily useful to their companies as well as more respected by their colleagues and competitors. Reflecting on workplace ethics may help you become a better employee, and it's a good thing to begin if you want to do the right thing all of the time.
Answer:
How can poor ethics devalue you as an asset on the team? Well, if you have poor moral standards and beliefs and what not, people can somewhat easily identify your personality as a negative trait. However if you're a good person with good values and spot on ethics, people will quickly realize that you're a good asset to have on the team.
Your energy, work ethic, and values also determine how good or bad your work ethic is.

You have $20,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 14.3 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 8.1 percent. Your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.5 percent. All money must be invested. How much will you invest in Stock X
Answer:
$14,194
Explanation:
Wy + Wx = 1
Wy*Ry + Wx*Rx = 12.5%
So, let input the values
Wy*8.1% + (1-Wy)*14.3% = 12.5%
Wy*8.1% + 14.3%-14.3%*Wy = 12.5%
14.3%*Wy - Wy*8.1% = 1.8%
Wy*6.2% = 1.8%
Wy = 0.2903
Weight of X in portfolio = 1 - 0.2903
Weight of X in portfolio = 0.7097
Money invested in stock X = $20,000*0.7097
Money invested in stock X = $14,194
