The following information is available: Units in process, Dec. 1 (60 percent converted) 2,000 units Units in process, Dec. 31 (30 percent converted) 1,000 units Units started during the month 7,500 units Materials are added at the beginning of the process. How many equivalent units in process for conversion were there in December using the weighted average method? Group of answer choices
Answer:
the equivalent unit for conversion is 8,800 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent unit for conversion is shown below:
= Units transferred + ending units
= (2,000 + 7,500 - 1,000) × 100 units + 1,000 units ×30%
= 8,500 units + 300 units
= 8,800 units
Hence, the equivalent unit for conversion is 8,800 units
We simply used the above formula for determining the conversion units

What is the bond's yeuld to
Answer:
12%
Explanation:
The computation of the yield to maturity is shown below:
Given that
Coupon (pmt) = $ 25
Present Value of Bond (PV) = $598.55
Face Value (FV) = $1000
No of Semi annual Period (nper) = 10 × 2 = 20

Explain why the U.S. demand for Mexican pesos is downsloping and the supply of pesos to Americans is upsloping. Assuming a system of flexible exchange rates between Mexico and the United States, indicate whether each of the following would cause the Mexican peso to appreciate or depreciate, other things equal: LO3 a. The United States unilaterally reduces tariffs on Mexican products. b. Mexico encounters severe inflation. c. Deteriorating political relations reduce American tourism in Mexico. d. The U.S. economy moves into a severe recession. e. The United States engages in a high-interest-rate monetary policy. f. Mexican products become more fashionable to U.S. consumers. g. The Mexican government encourages U.S. firms to invest in Mexican oil fields. h. The rate of productivity growth in the United States diminishes sharply.
Answer:
A. Appreciate - Mexican goods cheaper, US demand increase
B. Depreciate - high inflation raises price Mexican goods and US demand falls. Supply increases due to cheaper US goods
C. Depreciate - reduction of tourism reduces demand for peso
D. Depreciation - recession reduces imports from ME and decreases demand
E. Depreciate - high interest rate attract ME investors. Increase demand for US dollar and supply peso
F. Appreciate - US purchase pesos to invest in ME. Demand increases
H. Appreciate - decline in productivity reduces US investment. Decrease supply of pesos
Explanation:
The U.S demand for Mexican pesos is downward sloping which implies negative relation between exchange rate (price of per unit mexican pesos in terms of dollars) and demand for mexican pesos. When this price increases (U.S currency depreciates) the import from Mexico becomes expensive by U.S residents, therefore they would import less and hence lower demand of mexican pesos. Similarly the import from Mexico increases this implies more demand of mexican pesos when price of mexican pesos falls (U.S currency appreciates).
The supply of Mexican pesos to Americans is upward sloping because of positive relationship between price of mexican pesos in terms of U.S dollars and supply of mexican peso. when this price increases (U.S currency depriciates) the mexican people would demand more of U.S goods, therefore export of U.S to Mexico increases that means more supply of mexican pesos to Americans. Similarly, when this price falls (U.S currency appreciates) the U.S goods to Mexico becomes more expensive, this causes fall in the export and therefore supply of...

5 years ago, Barton Industries issued 25-year noncallable, semiannual bonds with a $1,000 face value and a 9% coupon, semiannual payment ($45 payment every 6 months). The bonds currently sell for $896.87. If the firm's marginal tax rate is 25%, what is the firm's after-tax cost of debt? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer: 7.67%
Explanation:
To solve this, the financial calculator will be needed
Present value = -896.87
Future Value = 1,000
N = [(25 - 5years) × 2 = 40
PMT = $45
Given the above information, we will press the financial calculator as we'll press CPT after which we then press I/Y and we'll get 5.11%
Then, the the firm's after-tax cost of debt will be:
= (5.11% x 2 )(1 - 0.25)
= (0.0511 × 2) (0.75)
= 0.07665
= 7.665%
= 7.67%
Heidi is having trouble understanding the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and why her workplace sent out an email affirming the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion. This is probably because as a white woman from a small town with little exposure to diversity efforts, Heidi has not had much education about what BLM is trying to accomplish. She is wrestling with this new information about systemic racism and ultimately dismisses it as unfounded because it is contrary to her past experiences. This is an illustration of which of the following?
a. Stereotyping
b. An entrenched mental model
c. Leader-Member Exchange Theory
d. Ethnocentrism
e. Social Identity Theory
Answer:
e. Social Identity Theory
Explanation:
It is correct to state that the scenario in the question above refers to the theory of social identity, which is a theory that seeks to explain how the categorization of groups such as those based on culture, social class, race, age, directly impact the life of an individual and their perception of the world. Psychology seeks to analyze how important it is for an individual to belong to a group and to form an identity based on the collective of that group, that is, to form a society.
Therefore, the theory of social identity suggests that there is an inclination for individuals to overestimate the characteristics of the group to which they belong and to minimize the characteristics of other groups, which can generate prejudice, racism and apathy, which is what happened with Heidi, who considered information about systemic racism unfounded by the fact that they are contrary to their previous experiences.

Market $53 $18
Book $14 $8

Answer:
Firm X and Firm Y
Post-merger Balance Sheet for Firm X
Net assets $886,000
Goodwill 90,000
Total assets $976,000
Common stock $742,000
Long-term debt 234,000
Total liabilities and
equity $976,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Firm X Firm Y
Total earnings $96,000 $22,500
Shares outstanding 53,000 18,000
Per-share values:
Market $53 $18
Book $14 $8
Net assets $742,000 $144,000
= (53,000*$14) (18,000*$8)
Net assets = Common Stock for each company
Merger premium on Firm Y $5
Goodwill on acquisition = $90,000 (18,000 * $5)
Investment in Firm Y = $234,000 (18,000 * ($8 + $5)
Long-term debt issued = $234,000
Net assets
Firm X net assets before acquisition = $742,000
Firm Y net assets before acquisition = 144,000
Net value of combined assets = $886,000

Ramirez Company installs a computerized manufacturing machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $48,400. The machine's useful life is estimated at 10 years, or 394,000 units of product, with a $9,000 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 33,400 units of product.
Required:
Determine the machine's second-year depreciation using the units-of-production method.
Answer:
$3,340
Explanation:
Step 1 : Determine the Depreciation rate
Depreciation rate = Cost - Salvage Value ÷ Estimated Units
Depreciation rate = $0.10
Step 2 : Depreciation Expense
Depreciation Expense = Depreciation rate x units produced
Depreciation Expense = $3,340
Therefore,
the machine's second-year depreciation using the units-of-production method is $3,340

b. At the end of the period, bad debt expense is estimated to be $9,600.
Answer:
Note: See the attached excel for the Indication of the effects of the two transactions.
Explanation:
From the attached excel file, we have:
a. During the period, customer balances are written off in the amount of $11,600.
Assets increase as the Allowance for doubtful accounts increases by $11,600; but Assets also decreases at the same as Accounts receivable decreases by $11,600.
b. At the end of the period, bad debt expense is estimated to be $9,600.
Assets decrease as the Allowance for doubtful accounts decreases by $9,600; and Stockholders' Equity also decreases as Bad debt expense increases by $9,600.
Allocating Liquidation Between Common Stockholders and Preferred Stockholders The Arcadia Company is liquidating. After paying off all of its creditors, the company has $2 million to distribute between its preferred stockholders and its common stockholders. The aggregate par value of the preferred stock is $1.8 million and the aggregate par value of its common stock is $4 million. How much of the remaining $2 million assets should be distributed to the preferred stockholders and how much should be distributed to the common stockholders
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The amount that should be distributed to the preferred stockholder would be equivalent to the aggregate par value of the preferred stock i.e. $1.8 million and the remaining value would be distributed to the common stockholders i.e.
= $2 million - $1.8 million
= $0.2 million
Hence, the same would be considered
On January 1, Year 1, Canseco Plumbing Fixtures purchased equipment for $52,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated four-year service life is expected to be $4,000. The company uses the straight-line method. For how much would each item below be reported at the end of Year 2?
Answer:
Reported for Year 2 will be :
Depreciation Expense = $12,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $24,000
Book Value = $28,000
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation for the period that the asset is in use in the business.
Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life
therefore,
Depreciation Charge = ($52,000 - $4,000) ÷ 4
= $12,000
we know that,
Accumulated depreciation = Sum of all depreciation to date
and
Book Value is the Costs less Accumulated depreciation
thus,
Balances for the Next 2 years will be as follows
Year 1
Depreciation Expense = $12,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $12,000
Book Value = $40,000
Year 2
Depreciation Expense = $12,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $24,000
Book Value = $28,000

Explanation:
Todd has a $100,000 25-year mortgage with a 12% nominal interest rate convertible monthly. The first payment is due one month after the mortgage is taken out. Twelve years after taking out the mortgage (after making his 144th payment), he refinances with a new nominal interest rate of 8%, again convertible monthly. The new mortgage will be paid off on the same date as the original one. Calculate the difference in the monthly mortgage payment after refinancing.
Answer:
The right solution is "$178.86".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Interest rate,
= 10%
New nominal interest rate,
= 8%
Years,

As per the question,
On the original loan, the annul installments will be:
= [tex]100000\times 0.01\times 1.01^{\frac{300}{1.01^{300-1}}}[/tex]
= [tex]1053.22[/tex] ($)
As we know,
The remaining 156 instalments are charged throughout the PV after the 144th deposit,
= [tex]1053.22\times \frac{(1.01^{156-1})}{(0.01\times 1.01^{156}})[/tex]
= [tex]83,017.90[/tex] ($)
On the refinanced loan, the annul installments will be:
= [tex]83017.90\times 0.01\times \frac{1.01^{300}}{(1.01^{300-1})}[/tex]
= [tex]874.36[/tex] ($)
hence,
After refinancing, the difference in mortgage will be:
= [tex]Annual \ installment \ on \ original \ loan-Annual \ installment \ on \ refinanced \ loan[/tex]
= [tex]1053.22-874.36[/tex]
= [tex]178.86[/tex] ($)
Chavez S.A., a Venezuelan company, wishes to borrow $8,000,000 for eight weeks (maturity). A rate of 6.250% per year is quoted by potential lenders in Great Britain, and Switzerland. British, and the Swiss-Euro bond definitions of interest (day count conventions) are 56 days and 60 days, respectively. Numbers of days in a financial year are 360. From which source should Chavez borrow?
Answer:
Chavez should borrow from the British market.
Explanation:
We need to compare the interest payment of both markets to make the decision
First, calculate the Interest payment in case, if borrowed from the British market
Interest Payment ( British ) = Principal Value x Interest rate x Time fraction
Interest Payment ( British ) = $8,000,000 x 6.250% x 56/360
Interest Payment ( British ) = $77,777.78
First, calculate the Interest payment in case if borrowed from Swiss market
Interest Payment ( Swiss ) = Principal Value x Interest rate x Time fraction
Interest Payment ( Swiss ) = $8,000,000 x 6.250% x 60/360
Interest Payment ( Swiss ) = $83,333.33
As the British market offers a lower rate, Chavez should borrow from the British market.

Larry estimates that the costs of insurance, license, and depreciation to operate his car total $320 per month and that the gas, oil, and maintenance costs are 14 cents per mile. Larry also estimates that, on average, he drives his car 1,400 miles per month. Required: a. How much cost would Larry expect to incur during April if he drove the car 1,529 miles
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The question above is incomplete. The concluding part is
b. Would it be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 1,400 mile month. Yes or No
Given the above information,
a. Total number of miles driven = 1.529 miles
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost × Number of miles driven
= $320 + $0.14 × 1,529
= $320 + $214.06
= $534.06
b. Since $320 per month is the fixed, the fixed cost per mile will decrease with the increase in number of miles driven . It means that if he drives less than 1,400 miles , the actual cost will be more than the cost based on predetermined overhead rate of the cost.
No. It would not be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 1,400 mile month.

The air pollution could be reduced if the company spent $10,000 on upgraded ventilators. The company agrees to install the ventilators if the affected families contribute the $10,000. However, because individuals will benefit from the reduction in air pollution whether they contribute or not, most people will not contribute and the firm will not install the ventilators. This outcome is an example of the
Answer:
free rider problem
Explanation:
The air pollution constitutes a negative externality
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Free rider is when some people benefit from the solution proffered but do not pay to enjoy these benefits
