Answer:

A. your friend most likely should not be quite so excited because the extremely high cost of living in New York City means his real salary increase will be less than he imagined.

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question :

A. your friend most likely should not be quite so excited because the extremely high cost of living in New York City means his real salary increase will be less than he imagined.

B. your friend has no reason to be excited because higher pay implies more job responsibilities and more working hours.

C. your friend has every reason to be excited because he will be getting paid 120% of what he used to be paid.

D. your friend has reason to be excited because in a bigger city he will have more things to do and his higher salary will allow him to spend on those activities.

Cost of living in a big town is higher than living in a small town. Even though the nominal income of my friend has increased, the real income might not have increased due to the high cost of living in a big city.

Nominal income is the money income being earned. My friend's nominal income would increase from $50,000 to $60,000 if he takes the new job.

Real income is the purchasing power of income

Big Time Widgets has the following inventory data: December 1 Beginning inventory of 15 units at $6.00 per unit December 7 Purch
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold on a LIFO basis for December = $409.50

If periodic inventory system is followed then, there is no proper weekly record, proper record is missing and therefore, average method is followed, in that case usage of LIFO or FIFO is not suggested.

Explanation:

As per LIFO method, we have Last In First Out which means the item which is last added in inventory will be sold first.

In the given instance we have things as following:

1 December       opening      15 units         $6.00 per unit           $90.00

7 December      purchased   50 units       $6.60 per unit           $330.00

12 December     Sales           45 units        $6.60 per unit           $297.00

Balance after sales

15 units @ $6.00 per unit = $90.00

5 units @ $6.60 per unit = $33.00

20 December    Purchased  30 units      $7.50 per unit              $225

29 December    Sales          15 units        $7.50 per unit              $112.5

Balance

15 units @ $6.00 per unit = $90.00

5 units @ $6.60 per unit = $33.00

15 units @ $7.50 per unit = $112.50

As stated above, under LIFO we have Last In First Out

Cost of goods sold

12 December     Sales           45 units        $6.60 per unit           $297.00

29 December    Sales           15 units        $7.50 per unit              $112.5

Total cost of goods sold in December = $297 + $112.5 = $409.5

In case periodic inventory system had been used then,

no proper record is maintained, for cost at which the goods are acquired, and therefore average method is followed, since no proper cost record is maintained.

Final Answer

Cost of goods sold on a LIFO basis for December = $409.50

If periodic inventory system is followed then, there is no proper weekly record, proper record is missing and therefore, average method is followed, in that case usage of LIFO or FIFO is not suggested.

Tanner is choosing between two​ mutually-exclusive investment options. These options have absolutely no​ risk, and Tanner can al
Reika [66]

Answer:

D) Tanner should be indifferent between the two investments, since both are equivalent to the same amount of cash today.

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question:

A) $531.40 later today, since $1 today is worth more than $1 in one year.

B) $550 in one year, since it is $50 more than he invested rather than $31.40 more than he invested.

C) Neither - both investments have a negative NPV.

D) Tanner should be indifferent between the two investments, since both are equivalent to the same amount of cash today.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:

For the first option:

Cash flow in year 0 = $500

Cash flow in year 1 = $550

I = ​ 3.5%

NPV = $31.40

For the second option:

NPV = $631.40 - $600 = $31.40

The npv of both options are equal and postive. So, Tanner should be indifferent between the options.

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

Carter Corporation has some money to invest, and its treasurer is choosing between City of Chicago municipal bonds and U.S. Trea
padilas [110]

Answer:

If Chicago municipal bonds yield  is 10% then Carter's treasurer make indifferent between the two.

Explanation:

Because Treasury Bond is exempt from tax income and both have same maturity, and they are equally risky and liquid; we then have the equation as below

Treasury bonds yield = Chicago municipal bonds yield after tax

⇔ 6% = Chicago municipal bonds yield * (1 - tax rate 40%)

⇔ 6% = Chicago municipal bonds yield * 0.6

⇒ Chicago municipal bonds yield = 6%/  0.6 = 10%
