Answer:

Subprime or Alt-A mortgages

Explanation:

Generally, there are three types of mortgages: prime mortgage, subprime mortgage, and Alt-A mortgage.

Prime mortgages are mortgages that are usually given to people with excellent credit rating, who can meet all requirements and they are considered as high quality borrowers. Therefore, the interest rates they are offered usually relatively low.

Subprime mortgages are mortgages that are usually given to people with poor credit ratings or histories, who cannot meet all requirements to be given conventional mortgages and are considered as low quality borrowers.  Therefore, the interest rates they are offered usually relatively high because the mortgage is considered as the riskiest.

The full meaning of Alt-A mortgage is Alternative A Mortgages which is a type of mortgages for people whose credit ratings or risk profiles lie between prime and subprime. The holders can meet more requirements than the holders of subprime mortgage but not as much as the holders of a prime mortgage. This mortgage is riskier than the prime mortgage but less risky than subprime mortgage. Therefore, the interest rates it offered are therefore higher than what the holder of prime mortgage get but it lower than the interest rates offered to the holders of subprime mortgage.

Best of luck.

Juanita makes $30 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her dress, so each hour away from work costs her $3
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Juanita should purchase the suit at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest.

Explanation:

three options:

  1. local store 15 minutes away and a price of $114
  2. across town 30 minutes away and a price of $86
  3. neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $60

Juanita makes $30 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:

total economic cost:

  • local store = $114 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $144
  • across town = $86 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $131
  • neighboring city = $60 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $135

Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest ($131)

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.

Jose goes to an all-you-can-eat buffet at a Chinese restaurant and consumes three plates of food. He does not go back for a four
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The marginal utility of the fourth plate is zero or below zero

Explanation:

The reason is that the law of diminishing marginal utility says that the marginal utility of a product declines upon continuous consumption of that item. This means that the utility before the consumption of first buffet was high and when the second buffet was consumed by the same person the utility was further reduced and so on. This means that the utility must be positive which if is higher enough then the customer is will to pay and eat the buffet again. If it is zero or below zero the customer is not willing to pay for the buffet. This is the reason the person doesn't ordered the item again.

You can not eat the same buffet for all the 365 days. This means the taste of a tasty food fades away after some time or I would say that the utility is gone. Same is the case when you will keep using cellphone for a period and then sell it or dispose it because the item doesn't entertains you or in other words the utility has significantly fallen and is almost zero or below zero.

On November 30, 2013, Piani Incorporated purchased for cash of $25 per share all 400,000 shares of the outstanding common stock
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

b. 800,000

Explanation:

Step 1; Calcualate Excess Valuation of Surge in Piani's Consolidated Balance Sheet

Surge's balance sheet as at November 30, 2013 showed a book value of $8,000,000

However, Piani Purchased 400,000 Shares of Surge's  Outstanding Common Stock at $25 each. The total Cost therefore to Piani is

$25× 400,000= $10,000,000

The difference between Surge's book value and Piani's valuation of Surge is

Surge's value in Piani- Surge's book value

$10,000,000-$8,000,000= $2,000,000

Step 2: Calculate the Difference between the Excess Property Fair Value and the Step One Total to arrive at the Goodwill

Out of the $2,000,000; $1,200,000 represents the excess of the fair value of Surge's  Property, Plant and Equipment on November 30, 2013.

The Goodwill Value Therefore is

The difference in Surge's Stock Valuation- Excess Fair Value of Surge's Property, Plant and Equipment

= $2,000,000-$1, 200,000

=$800,000

During the year, Hamlet Inc. paid $22,000 to have bond certificates printed and engraved, paid $170,000 in legal fees, paid $9,0
xenn [34]

Answer:

$481,000

Explanation:

Bond issue costs are either direct or indirect costs:

  • direct costs include underwriting fees, listing fees, professional fees, compliance costs and other costs related to the IPO or APO (secondary issues), e.g printing costs
  • indirect costs include underpricing costs (IPO pricing is too low) and loss of proprietary information

Total bond issue costs = $22,000 + $170,000 + $9,000 + $280,000 = $481,000

Becker Bikes manufactures tricycles. The company expects to sell 520 units in May and 650 units in June. Beginning and ending fi
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The budgeted variable overhead for May is $5,335

The budgeted variable overhead for June is $7,260

The budgeted fixed overhead for both May and June is $11,500 per month

Explanation:

First we have to determine how many tricycles does Becker Bikes expects to manufacture during May and June:

May:

beginning inventory May           180

expected sales May                   520

ending inventory May                 145

Becker is planning to manufacture 485 tricycles (= 520 + 145 -180)

June:

beginning inventory May           145

expected sales May                   650

ending inventory May                 155

Becker is planning to manufacture 660 tricycles (= 650 + 155 -145)

The budgeted variable overhead for May = 485 tricycles x $11 per tricycle = $5,335

The budgeted variable overhead for June = 660 tricycles x $11 per tricycle = $7,260

The fixed overhead for both May and June is $11,500 per month
