When the government subsidizes investment, such as with an investment tax credit, the subsidy often applies to only some types of investment. This question asks you to consider the effect of such a change. Suppose there are two types of investment in the economy: business investment and residential investment. The interest rate adjusts to equilibrate national saving and total investment, which is the sum of business investment and residential investment. Now suppose that the government institutes an investment tax credit only for business investment. a. How does this policy affect the demand curve for business investment
Answer:
The demand curve for business investment will shift upwards to the right, signaling an increased demand for business investment.
Investors will be attracted to invest more in business investment than they will invest in residential apartments. This is how it has worked.
Explanation:
An economy's business investment includes the investments in the machines, tools, and equipment that business entities need for the production of goods and services. On the other hand, its residential investment refers to the expenditure made for constructing or buying new houses or dwelling apartments for the purpose of living or renting out to others. If the government grants some tax credit to business investment, it will make business more attractive to the investing public.

Suppose that Boeing Corporation exported a Boeing 747 to Lufthansa and billed €10 million payable in one year. The money market interest rates and foreign exchange rates are given as follows: Picture Assume that Boeing sells a currency forward contract of €10 million for delivery in one year, in exchange for a predetermined amount of U.S. dollar. Which of the following is (or are) true? On the maturity date of the contract Boeing will: (i) have to deliver €10 million to the bank (the counterparty of the forward contract) (ii) take delivery of $14.6 million (iii) have a zero net euro exposure (iv) have a profit, or a loss, depending on the future changes in the dollar-euro exchange rate, from this German (euro currency zone) sale Group of answer choices (i) and (iv) (ii) and (iv) (ii), (iii), and (iv) (i), (ii), and (iii)
Answer:
All Choices (i) (ii) and (iii) except (iv) are correct.
Explanation:
Solution:
Choices (i) (ii) and (iii) are correct in this question.
As we know that, it is a forward contract at the time of maturity so, Boeing 747 will have to deliver 10 million euros to the bank as per the forward contract obligation (fulfills the choice (i)). Furthermore, with forward currency, after selling 10 million euro worth of contract, Boeing 747 will take delivery at 14.6 million dollars which is in US dollars as currency exchange (fulfills the choice (ii)). Hence, after maturity it will not have any exposure to euro (fulfills the choice (iii)).
Hence, All Choices (i) (ii) and (iii) except (iv) are correct.
Calculate the ROA from the following chart. Show all formulas and work.
(dollar figures in millions)
Total Deposits 10,219,681
Net Income 106,354
Equity Capital 1,497,533
Total Loans 7,161,815
Total Assets 13,544,967
Answer:
0.79%
Explanation:
ROA is the return on assets. The formula for calculating ROA is as below.
ROA = Net Income / Total Assets or Net income / average total assets.
Net income = Net Income 106,354
Net Assets = Total Assets 13,544,967
ROA = 106,354/13,544,967
ROA = 0.00785192
ROA = 0.79%

A company that manufactures air-operated drain valve assemblies currently has $100,000 available to pay for plastic components over a 5-year period. If the company spent only $52,000 in year 1, what uniform annual amount can the company spend in each of the next 4 years to deplete the entire budget
Answer:
$18,297.31
Explanation:
The computation of the uniform amount that could be spend is shown below"
Here we determine the PMT
Given that
We assume the RATE = 10%
NPER = 5 - 1 = 4
PV = $100,000 × 1.1 - $52,000
= $110,000 - $52,000
= $58,000
FV = $0
The formula is given below:
= PMT(RATE,NPER,PV,FV,0)
The present value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the uniform annual amount is $18,297.31
If XYZ invested $5,800 today in an account that is expected to earn 3.2 percent per year, and she expects to make another investment in the same account in 3 years from today, then how much money does XYZ expect to invest in 3 years if she expects to have $15,000 in her account in 4 years from today
Answer:
The answer is "$8,160.08".

On January 1, 2021, Jasperse Corporation leased equipment under a finance lease designed to earn the lessor a 12% rate of return for providing long-term financing. The lease agreement specified ten annual payments of $75,000 beginning January 1, and each December 31 thereafter through 2029. A 10-year service agreement was scheduled to provide maintenance of the equipment as required for a fee of $5,000 per year. Insurance premiums of $4,000 annually are related to the equipment. Both amounts were to be paid by the lessor and lease payments reflect both expenditures. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) At what amount will Jasperse record a right-of-use asset
Answer:
$442,977.5
Explanation:
Calculation for what amount will Jasperse record a right-of-use asset
Right of use asset = ($75,000 -$5,000) x PVAD, 12%, 10
Right of use asset =$70,000*6.32825
Right of use asset =$442,977.5

Skysong, Inc.'s net income for the current year was $394000. Depreciation was $51000. Accounts receivable and inventories decreased by $16000 and $26000, respectively. Prepaid expenses and salaries payable increased, respectively, by $2000 and $13000. Equipment was sold at a gain of $7400. How much cash was provided by operating activities
Answer:
Skysong, Inc.
Cash provided by operating activities =
$502,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net income = $394,000
Depreciation 51,000
operating cash $445,000
Net working capital:
Accounts receivable $16,000
Inventory 26,000
Prepaid expenses 2,000
Salaries payable 13,000 57,000
Net cash from operating $502,000
b) The operating activities section of Skysong's cash flows statement depicts the ability of the company to generate cash from its main business activities. The net cash from operating activities is determined by adjusting its net income with non-cash flows (e.g. depreciation expenses) and working capital changes. A decrease in the current assets represents a source of operating cash, just as an increase in the current liabilities also represents a source of operating cash.
Beachballs, Inc., expects abnormally high earnings for the next three years due to the forecast of unusually hot summers. After the 3-year period, their growth will level off to its normal rate of 6%. Dividends and earnings are expected to grow at 20% for years 1 and 2 and 15% in year 3. The last dividend paid was $1.00. If an investor requires a 10% return on Beachballs, the price she is willing to pay for the stock is closest to:
Answer: $36.50
Explanation:
The price she will be willing to be paid according to the Dividend Discount model is calculated by finding the present value of the future dividends and the terminal value.
Dividend year 1 = 1 * (1 + 20%) = $1.20
Dividend year 2 = 1.20 * (1 + 20%) = $1.44
Dividend year 3 = 1.44 * (1 + 15%) = $1.656
Terminal value = Dividend in year 4 / (required return - growth rate)
= (1.656 * (1 + 6%)) / ( 10% - 6%)
= $43.884
[tex]Price = \frac{1.2}{(1 + 0.10)} + \frac{1.44}{(1 + 0.10)^{2} } + \frac{1.656}{(1 + 0.10)^{3} } + \frac{43.884}{(1 + 0.10)^{3} }\\\\= 36.4959\\\\= 36.50[/tex]
= $36.50
A company purchased a new delivery van at a cost of $46,000 on July 1. The delivery van is estimated to have a useful life of 4 years and a salvage value of $3,400. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. How much depreciation expense will be recorded for the van during the first year ended December 31?
Answer:
The amount of depreciation expense that will be recorded for the van during the first year ended December 31 is $5,325.
Explanation:
Since the company uses the straight-line method of depreciation, the annual depreciation expenses can first be calculated using the following formula:
Annual depreciation expense = (Cost of the asset - Salvage value) / Useful life ............ (1)
Where;
Cost of the asset = $46,000
Salvage value = $3,400
Useful life = 4
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Annual depreciation expense = ($46,000 - $3,400) / 4
Annual depreciation expense = $10,650
Since July 1 to December 31 is just half of the year, the amount of depreciation expense that will be recorded for the van during the first year ended December 31 is the halve of the annual depreciation expense that can be calculated as follows:
Depreciation expense to be recorded = Annual depreciation expense / 2 = $10,650 / 2 = $5,325

The €/$ spot exchange rate is €1.50/$ and the 120 day forward exchange rate is €1.45/$. The forward premium (discount) is Group of answer choices the dollar is trading at an 8% premium to the euro for delivery in 120 days. the dollar is trading at a 5% premium to the Swiss franc for delivery in 120 days. the dollar is trading at a 10% discount to the euro for delivery in 120 days. the dollar is trading at a 5% discount to the euro for delivery in 120 days.
Answer:
The forward premium (discount) is:
the dollar is trading at a 10% discount to the euro for delivery in 120 days.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Spot exchange rate = €1.50/$
120 day forward exchange rate = €1.45/$
When the forward rate is less than the spot rate, the means that the currency is trading at a discount in the forward market.
The formula for calculating the forward premium or discount is:
= (Forward Rate Minus Spot Rate)/Forward Rate * 360/120
= (€1.45 - €1.50)/€1.45 * 360/120
= €-0.05/€1.45 * 3
= €-0.03448 * 3 = -10.3%
b) The forward premium occurs when the forward exchange rate is higher than the spot exchange rate. The forward discount occurs when the forward exchange rate is lower than the spot exchange rate. Forward premium or discount is normally expressed as the annualized percentage of the difference, using 360 days.

One year ago, Deltona Motor Parts deposited $17,500 in an investment account for the purpose of buying new equipment three years from today. Today, it is adding another $21,000 to this account. The company plans on making a final deposit of $13,000 to the account one year from today. How much will be available when it is ready to buy the equipment, assuming the account pays 5.5 interest
Answer:
$58,445.13
Explanation:
Calculation for How much will be available when it is ready to buy the equipment, assuming the account pays 5.5 interest
Using this formula
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
Let plug in the formula
First deposit= 17,500*(1.055^4)
First deposit= $19,316.73
Second deposit=21 ,000*(1.055^3)
Second deposit= $24,659.07
Third deposit= 13,000*(1.055^2)=
Third deposit=$14,469.33
Total= $58,445.13
Therefore How much will be available when it is ready to buy the equipment, assuming the account pays 5.5 interest is $58,445.13
Your boss approaches you in mid-December and requests that you pay certain employees their gross pay amount as if there were no deductions as their year-end bonuses. None of the employees have reached the Social Security wage base for the year. Required: What is the gross-up amount for each of the following employees
Answer:
The gross up amount for each employee is $4,500.
Explanation:
Social security wage base is a amount of tax on the salary which is used as a social security at the old age. The amount is determined based on a person's salary. The employees will have no deduction from their salary as they do are not eligible for social security wage base. The year end bonus will be the gross which is paid to the employees.
Compute darryl's total social security and Medicare taxes for the third quarter, if she is self-employed and earns $1,020.00 on a weekly basis.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the total security and medicare tax is shown below:
Here we assume the social security and medicare tax is 12.4% and 2.9% respectively
So, first we compute the total earnings which is

Answer both parts of the following question. a. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the toll on the Golden Gate Bridge was raised from $2 to $3. Following the toll increase, traffic fell by 5 percent. Based on this information, calculate the arc price elasticity of demand. Is demand elastic or inelastic
Answer:
The answer is "0.1".
Explanation:
Formula:
[tex]\text{Elasticity}= \frac{\% \text{volume changes in demand}}{ \% \text{price rise}}[/tex]
Calculating the value of price percent:
[tex]= \frac{(3-2)}{2} \times 100 \\\\= \frac{1}{2} \times 100 \\\\= \frac{100}{2} \\\\=50 \%[/tex]
Calculating the value of quantity change: [tex]= -5 \%[/tex]
Calculating the value of elasticity:
[tex]= \frac{-5}{50} \\\\ = \frac{-1}{10} \\\\= -0.1[/tex]
Through this convention, the environmental signal is decreased and elasticity =0.1 is achieved until conductivity. Whose comparatively in elasticity is not as high as 1.
The market price of a security is $74. Its expected rate of return is 20.2%. The risk-free rate is 3% and the market risk premium is 6.5%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)
Answer:
The market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged) will be $44.10.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
The market price of a security is $74. Its expected rate of return is 20.2%. The risk-free rate is 3% and the market risk premium is 6.5%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)
Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity.
Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Since the correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged), it implies that beta and also the risk premium will also double.
From the question, we can obtain:
Current risk premium = Expected rate of return - Market risk premium = 20.2% - 6.5% = 13.70%
As the current risk premium will double, we have:
New risk premium = Current risk premium * 2 = 13.70% * 2 = 27.40%
Also, we have:
New discount rate = New risk premium + Market risk premium = 27.40% + 6.5% = 33.90%
Since it is assumed that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity, the dividend can therefore e calculated as follows:
Dividend = Current market price * Current expected rate of return = $74 * 20.2% = $14.95
The new market price of the security can now be calculated as follows:
New market price of the security = Dividend / New discount rate = $14.95 / 33.90% = $44.10
Therefore, the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged) will be $44.10.

A merchant plans to sell two models of home computers at costs of $250 and $400, respectively. The $250 model yields a profit of $45 and the $400 model yields a profit of $50. The merchant estimates that the total monthly demand will not exceed 250 units. Find the number of units of each model that should be stocked in order to maximize profit. Assume that the merchant does not want to invest more than $70,000 in computer inventory. (See Exercise 21 in Section 9.2.)
Answer:
That is there is maximum profit when 250 units of $250 model computer and 50 units of $400 model computer is stocked.
Explanation:
Let x represent the number of $250 model and let y represent the number of $400 model. Since the total monthly demand will not exceed 250 units, hence:
x + y < 250 (1)
Also the merchant does not want to invest more than $70,000, hence:
250x + 400y < 70000 (2)
x, y ≥ 0
Plotting the equations using geogebra online graphing tool. The solution to the problem is at (0,0), (200, 50), (250,0), (0, 175).
The profit equation is:
Profit = 45x + 50y
At (0,0); Profit = 45(0) + 50(0) = 0
At (250,0); Profit = 45(250) + 50(0) = $11250
At (0,175); Profit = 45(0) + 50(175) = 8750
At (200,50); Profit = 45(200) + 50(50) = $11500
Therefore the maximum profit is at (200, 50). That is there is maximum profit when 250 units of $250 model computer and 50 units of $400 model computer is stocked.
