Answer:

1) decreases

2) decreases

3) increase

4)  decrease

5) decreases

Explanation:

1. When the Fed sells bonds in open-market operations, it decreases the money supply.

If the Fed sells bonds, it decreases the money supply by removing cash from the economy in exchange for bonds.

2. If the Fed raises the reserve requirement, the money supply decreases.

By increasing the reserve requirement, the Federal Reserve is essentially taking money out of the money supply and increasing the cost of credit.

3. When the Fed decreases the interest rate it pays on reserves, the money supply will increase.

When the Fed decreases the interest rate paid on reserves, it: decreases the reserve-deposit ratio (rr) thereby increasing the money supply.

4) When the FOMC increases its target for the federal funds rate, the money supply will decrease.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is the monetary policy-making body of the Federal Reserve System. While the FOMC can't mandate a particular federal funds rate, they can adjust the money supply so that interest rates will move toward the target rate. Therefore, by increasing the amount of money in the system it can cause interest rates to fall; by decreasing the money supply it can make interest rates rise.

5) When Citibank repays a loan it had previously taken from the Fed, it decreases the money supply.

The money supply reduces gradually by the amount of the principal when bank loans are repaid. So if Citibank repays a loan it had previously taken from the Fed, it will decrease the money supply.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

1. $28

2. $278,040

3. $7,560 under-applied

4. $8.8536

Explanation:

The computation is shown below

1. Predetermined overhead rate = (Total Budgeted: Overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $285,600 ÷ 10,200 hours

= $28

2. The applied overhead would be

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 9,930 hours × $28

= $278,040

3. The over applied or under applied would be

= Actual manufacturing overhead - applied overhead

= $285,600 - $278,040

= $7,560 under-applied

4. Total cost per unit would be

= (Prime Cost + Applied Overhead) ÷ (Number of units)

= ($1,050,000 + $278,040) ÷ (150,000 units

= $1,328,040  ÷ 150,000 units

= $8.8536

The Horizon Company will invest $60,000 in a temporary project that will generate the following cash inflows for the next three
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

$ -3,163.04

No

Explanation:

The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

The NPV can be found using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = -$60,000

Cash flow in year 1- $ 15,000

Cash flow in year 2- $25,000

Cash flow in year  3- $40,000 - $10,000 = $30,000

I = 10%

NPV = $-3,163.04

The project should not be embarked upon because the cost of the project is greater than the present value of the after tax cash flows. The NPV is negative.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Bluegill Company sells 7,500 units at $320 per unit. Fixed costs are $120,000 and income from operations is $1,560,000. Determin
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a) $96 per unit

b) $224 per unit

c) 70%

Explanation:

We will have to compute variable cost and contribution margin

Sales $2,400,000

7,500 × 320

Less; Variable cost $720,000

Contribution margin $1,680,000

Less : Fixed cost $120,000

Operating income. $1,560,000

a) Variable cost per unit

= Total variable cost ÷ Total number of units

= $720,000 ÷ 7,500 units

= $96 per unit

b) Unit contribution margin

= Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $320 - $96

= $224

c) Contribution margin ratio

= (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ÷ Selling price per unit × 100

= ($320 - $96) ÷ $320 × 100

= $224 ÷ 320 × 100

= 70%

At what amount is a short-term notes receivable recorded on the issue date?
laiz [17]

Answer:

At face value

Explanation:

Short term notes are always recorded at face value, and that applies to both interest and non-interest bearing short term notes.

Non-interest bearing long term notes must be recorded at their discounted value, i.e. you must discount the long term note' face value by the discount rate used by the company.

Eric receives a portion of his income from his holdings of interest-bearing U.S. government bonds. The bonds offer a real intere
MArishka [77]

Solution :

Given :

The bonds offer a \text{real interest rate} of 4.5% per year

Tax rate = 10% = 0.10

Inflation rate = 2

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = 2 + 4.5

                                   = 6.5

\text{After tax nominal rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate})$

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = $6.5 \times (1-0.10)$

                                                  $=6.5 \times 0.90$

                                                 = 5.85

After tax real interest rate = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 5.85 - 2.0

                                            = 3.85

\text{Inflation rate} = 7.0

\text{Real interest rate = 4.5}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

                                   = 7 + 4.5

                                  = 11.5

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate })$

                                                  $=11.5 \times (1 - 0.10)$

                                                  $=11.5 \times 0.90$

                                                = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)

                                          = 11.5 x 0.90

                                         = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 10.35 - 7.0

                                          = 3.35

Putting all the value in table :

\text{Inflation rate}    Real interest  Nominal interest  After tax nominal  After tax  

                                  rate                rate               interest rate       interest rate

2.0                             4.5                  6.5                        5.85                   3.85

7.0                              4.5                11.5                         10.35                3.35

Comparing with the \text{higher inflation rate}, a \text{lower inflation rate} will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.
