Answer:

B. more reserves, thus increasing the money multiplier and increasing the money supply.

In a fractional-reserve banking system, banks create money when they make loans. The more money they have available to make loans, the more money they create.

If the Fed reduces the reserve-requirements, banks will have more reserves available to loan out, increasing the money multiplier, and thus, the money supply.

A. rarely changes the reserve requirement and does not use the reserve requirement as a major monetary policy tool.

The Fed rarely uses this monetary policy tool because it is the most powerful one. Changing the reserve requirements effectively reduce or increase the money supply like no other monetary policy tool, therefore, the effects can be dramatic, and its use is a sign that all other tools have been exhausted (open-market operations, and discount window mainly).

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Techron I . According to the calculations, Techron I reports a better performance.

Explanation:

Techron I

Cost of Machine = $245,000

Useful Life = 3 years

Annual Depreciation = Cost of Machine / Useful Life

Annual Depreciation = $245,000 / 3

Annual Depreciation = $81,666.67

Salvage Value = $40,000

After-tax Salvage Value = $40,000 * (1 - 0.22)

After-tax Salvage Value = $31,200

Annual OCF = Pretax Operating Costs * (1 - tax) + tax * Depreciation

Annual OCF = -$63,000 * (1 - 0.22) + 0.22 * $81,666.67

Annual OCF = -$31,173.33

NPV = -$245,000 - $31,173.33 * PVIFA(10%, 3) + $31,200 * PVIF(10%, 3)

NPV = -$245,000 - $31,173.33 * 2.4869 + $31,200 * 0.7513

NPV = -$299,084.39

EAC = NPV / PVIFA(10%, 3)

EAC = -$299,084.39 / 2.4869

EAC = -$120,263.94

Techron II:

Cost of Machine = $420,000

Useful Life = 5 years

Annual Depreciation = Cost of Machine / Useful Life

Annual Depreciation = $420,000 / 5

Annual Depreciation = $84,000

Salvage Value = $40,000

After-tax Salvage Value = $40,000 * (1 - 0.22)

After-tax Salvage Value = $31,200

Annual OCF = Pretax Operating Costs * (1 - tax) + tax * Depreciation

Annual OCF = -$35,000 * (1 - 0.22) + 0.22 * $84,000

Annual OCF = -$8,820

NPV = -$420,000 - $8,820 * PVIFA(10%, 5) + $31,200 * PVIF(10%, 5)

NPV = -$420,000 - $8,820 * 3.7908 + $31,200 * 0.6209

NPV = -$434,062.78

EAC = NPV / PVIFA(10%, 5)

EAC = -$434,062.78 / 3.7908

EAC = -$114,504.27

Myriad Solutions, Inc. issued 10% bonds, dated January 1, with a face amount of $320 million on January 1, 2021, for $283,294,72

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The net amount of the liability Myriad would report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021 is $287,524,896

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the amount of discount on the bond at the time of issuance

Discount on Bond = Face value - Issuance value = $320,000,000 - $283,294,720 = $36,705,280

June 30, 2021

Now we will use the effective interest method to calculate the amortization of discount on the bond.

Amortization of Discount = ( Carrying Value x Market yield ) - ( Face value x Coupon rate ) = ( $283,294,720 x 12% ) - ( $320,000,000 x 10% ) = $33,995,366.4 - $32,000,000 = $1,995,366.4 = $1,995,366

Carrying value = $283,294,720 + $1,995,366 = $285,290,086

December 31, 2021

Now we will use the effective interest method to calculate the amortization of discount on the bond.

Amortization of Discount = ( Carrying Value x Market yield ) - ( Face value x Coupon rate ) = ( $285,290,086 x 12% ) - ( $320,000,000 x 10% ) = $34,234,810.32 - $32,000,000 = $2,234,810.32 = $2,234,810

Carrying value = $285,290,086 + $2,234,810 = $287,524,896

Precision Systems manufactures CD burners and currently sells 18,500 units annually to producers of laptop computers. Jay Wilson

hram777 [196]

Answer:

a. What increase in the selling price is necessary to cover the 15 percent increase in direct labor cost and still maintain the current contribution margin ratio of 40 percent?

estimated production costs per unit:

direct materials $10

direct labor $23

overhead $30

total $63

if we want contribution margin to remain at 40%, then selling price = $63 / (1 - 40%) = $105

to verify our answer, contribution margin = $105 - $63 = $42 / $105 = 40%

b. How many units must be sold to maintain the current operating income of $350,000 if the sales price remains at $100 and the 15 percent wage increase goes into effect?

if sales price doesn't change, then contribution margin = $37 (not $40)

units sold to keep profit at $350,000 = ($350,000 + $390,000) / $37 = 20,000 units per year

c. Wilson believes that an additional $700,000 of machinery (to be depreciated at 20 percent annually) will increase present capacity (20,000 units) by 25 percent. If all units produced can be sold at the present price of $100 per unit and the wage increase goes into effect, how would the estimated operating income before capacity is increased compare with the estimated operating income after capacity is increased? Prepare schedules of estimated operating income at full capacity before and after the expansion.

working at full capacity, sales price $100 (unchanged) and direct labor costs increasing by 15%

capacity 20,000 capacity 25,000

sales revenue $2,000,000 $2,500,000

direct labor $460,000 $575,000

direct materials $200,000 $250,000

overhead $600,000 $750,000

fixed costs $390,000 $670,000

operating revenue $350,000 $255,000

The expansion will result in lower operating profits ($95,000 less) so it should be discarded.

Answer:

$710,000

Explanation:

A flexible budget is a type of budget that changes in relative to the volume of output

Workings

Monthly Fixed manufacturing cost - $50,000

Variable cost /Ton - $12

Production in March -55000

Variable cost of production in March - $(12*55000) = $660,000

Total manufacturing cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

$660,000 + $50,000= $710,000
