Answer:

Option D is the correct answer

Explanation:

Investors are typically expected to part with their funds today in expectation for a future amount,hence the funds so invested are invested for speculative reasons.

Owners are given the option of future payments at redemption of the investments while some investments can be divested before maturity.

Future payments are naturally risky because investment is like two sides of a coin, it either has a positive or negative outcome such loss of the entire invested sum.

Not all investments pay positive rate of interest, the US bank deposit interest was negative during the global meltdown in 2009.

Explanation:

The slope coefficient is change in probability when all other independent variables are held constant. The output is 93.3 which is due to the variation in labor hours. These variations are due to large number of furniture moved in cubic feet.

Brut [27]

Answer:

b. the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

Poaching can be defined as an illegal or illegitimate procurement (purchase) of protected wildlife living organisms such as elephants, fish, trees, gaming, etc.

In an attempt to reduce poaching of elephant tusks for ivory, officials in Kenya burned illegally gathered ivory. Economists tend to point out that the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching in accordance with the law of supply.

This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.

Xie Company identified the following activities, costs, and activity drivers for this year. The company manufactures two types o

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the plantwide predetermine manufacturing overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

total estimated overhead costs for the period= (625,000 + 900,000 + 105,000 + 175,000 + 300,000 + 75,000)

total estimated overhead costs for the period= $2,180,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,180,000 / 125,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $17.44 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Deluxe:

Allocated MOH= 17.44*2,500

Allocated MOH= $43,600

Basic:

Allocated MOH= 17.44*6,000

Allocated MOH= $104,640

Universal Laser, Inc., just paid a dividend of $3.10 on its stock. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be a constant 6 p

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Ans. The current price of the stock is $56.82

Explanation:

Hi, well, the problem here is that we have different discount rates, in other words the required rate of return for the stock changes several times, therefore we are going to break this problem in 3 parts, or bring to present value all the cash flows in 3 steps. Let´s start with the value of the dividends.

We have to use the following formula.

$Dn=D_{(n-1)} *(1+g)$

Where, D(n-1) is last dividend and Dn is the dividend that we are looking for, for example, D1 = 3.10*(1+0.06)=3.29, D2=3.29*(1+0.06)=3.48, and so forth. The amount to pay on dividends per share is,

D1=3.29; D2=3.48; D3=3.69; D4=3.91; D5=4.15; D6=4.40; D(7)=4.66

Since the first 3 years are to be discounted at a 15%, this is how the formula should look like.

$PV(1)=\frac{D1}{(1+r(1))^{1} } +\frac{D2}{(1+r(1))^{2} } +\frac{D3}{(1+r(1))^{3} }$

$PV(1)=\frac{3.29}{(1+0.15)^{1} } +\frac{3.48}{(1+0.15)^{2} } +\frac{3.69}{(1+0.15)^{3} }=7.92$

Now, for the second part, we have to bring all cash flows to year 3 at r(2)=13% and then bring it to present value at r(1)=15%. This is because we have 2 different discount rates, this is as follows.

$PV(2)=(\frac{D4}{(1+r(2))^{1} } +\frac{D5}{(1+r(2))^{2} } +\frac{D6}{(1+r(2))^{3} })*\frac{1}{((1+r(1)^{3} }$

$PV(2)=(\frac{3.91}{(1+0.13)^{1} } +\frac{4.15}{(1+0.13)^{2} } +\frac{4.40}{(1+0.13)^{3} })*\frac{1}{(1+0.15)^{3} } =6.42$

Finally, we need to bring all the future cash flows from year 7 and beyond, notice that we need to use the return rate r(3) to bring everything to year 6, then we have to bring it to year 3 and then to present value, everything as follows.

$PV(3)=(\frac{D7}{(r(3)-g)} )*(\frac{1}{(1+r(2))^{3} } )*(\frac{1}{(1+r(1))^{3} } )$

$PV(3)=(\frac{4.66}{(0.11-0.06)} )*(\frac{1}{(1+0.13)^{3} } )*(\frac{1}{(1+0.15)^{3} } )=42.48$

So, the price of the stock is PV(1) + PV(2) + PV(3), or:

$Price=7.92+6.42+42.48=56.82$

Price= $56.82/share

Best of luck.

Answer:

(C) Debit Cash, credit Unearned Revenue.

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $2,000,000

To Unearned revenue A/c $2,000,000

(Being the receipt of cash is recorded)

Since the cash is received so we debited the cash account as it increases the current assets and credited the unearned revenue account as it is a current liability account so the same is to be credited
