Answer:

The statement is true

Explanation:

Tightening monetary policy or curbing money supply in an economy is a move by Federal Reserve to control inflation or bring down over-heated economic growth.

Money supply is curbed by increasing short-term interest rates, thereby increasing cost of borrowing and making borrowing less attractive to public. This increase in short-term rates, also called Federal fund rates are usually greater than long-term interest rates prevailing in the market.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

WACC 13.85600%

Explanation:

First we calculate Eastern Pizza CAPM:

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.08

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.04

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 2

Ke= 0.08 + 2 (0.04)

Ke 0.16000

Then we solve for WACC

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

Ke 0.16000

Equity weight 0.8

Kd 0.08

Debt Weight 0.2

t 0.34

WACC = 0.16(0.8) + 0.08(1-0.34)(0.2)

WACC 13.85600%

The company will use the data on eastern Pizza to evualuate project presented to it. Also, it will  consider the new tax rate to determinate the tax shield.

Total fixed costs for Taylor Incorporated are​ $260,000. Total​ costs, including both fixed and​ variable, are​ $500,000 if​ 156
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The variable cost per unit is $1.54

Explanation:

Variable costs are those cost which vary with the change in production of units means higher the production higher cost and lower production will result in lower cost e.g Material cost, labor cost etc.

On the other hand fixed cost the cost which does not vary with the production of units. It is fixed no matter what is the level of production.

According to given data:

Total Cost = $500,000

Fixed Cost = $260,000

Variable cost = Total cost - fixed cost

Variable cost = $500,000  $260,000

Variable cost = $240,000

Number of units = 156,000

Variable cost per unit = $240,000 / 156,000 = $1.54 per unit

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

36.83 years

16.85 years

$63,710.88

$ 71,490.43  

Explanation:

We can use the nper  formula in excel  to compute the doubling time for the capital real GDP of both countries

=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)

FV is the future real GDP which $28,900*2=$57,800 for France while that of Korea is $25,400 ($12,700*2)

PV is the present real GDP

rate is the economic growth rate of 4.2% in Korea and 1.9% in France

France=nper(1.9%,0,-28900,57800)= 36.83  

Korea=nper(4.2%,0,-12700,25400)= 16.85  

In 2045 ,which is 42 years from now the real GDP are shown thus:

=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(1.9%,42,0,-28900)=$63,710.88  

=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(4.2%,42,0,-12700)=$ 71,490.43

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The Accounting Equation states that;

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Equity as at 2016 = Assets - Liabilities

= 50 - 13

= $37 million

Equity as at 2017 = Assets - Liabilities

= 77 - 18

= $59 million

1. Timmy issued $13 million of stock and declared no dividends.

<em>The Net Income ( loss) will be the figure that gives the Statement of Equity a figure of $59 million.</em>

Net Income = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  - Issuance of stock

= 59 - 37 - 13

= $9 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 13

Net income  ......................................................................9

Less: Dividends declared......................................................0

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

2. Timmy issued no stock but declared dividends of $17 million.

Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  + Dividends Declared

= 59 - 37 + 17

= $39 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 0

Net income  ......................................................................39

Less: Dividends declared......................................................(17)

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

3. Timmy issued $20 million of stock and declared dividends of $27 million.

Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  + Dividends Declared -  Issuance of stock

= 59 - 37 + 27 - 20

= $29 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 20

Net income  ......................................................................29

Less: Dividends declared......................................................(27)

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59
