Answer: Demand will fall, Interest rates will fall
Explanation:
The investment tax credit would have encouraged more companies to seek loanable funds in order to embark on investment opportunities because they would be taxed less. This increase in demand in the market for loanable funds would have led to rates rising to keep up with demand. 
If Congress were to end this credit, the incentive to invest and avoid tax would be gone. Companies would therefore demand less loanable funds and with this drop in demand there will be a drop in interest rates as well to entice people to borrow at the lower rates. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: D.  The company reissues the treasury stock it holds.
Explanation:
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Net Income by the weighted average number of shares that a company has outstanding. If the company reissues treasury stock, this would increase the number of average stock outstanding thereby increasing the denominator of the EPS equation which would have the effect of reducing the Earnings per share. 
For instance, if a company had net income of $50 and common equity outstanding of $40, the EPS would be;
= 50/40
= $1.25
If the company reissues treasury stock of $30, the EPS would change to;
= 50/ (40 +30)
= $0.71
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
c. $33.33 per housekeeping hour
Explanation:
The housekeeping department's activity rate is how much each housekeeping hour costs.
This question can be solved by a simple rule of three.
27000 hours cost $900000. How much does 1 hour cost?
27,000 hours - $900,000.
1 hour - $x.



So the correct answer is:
c. $33.33 per housekeeping hour
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
1 Line item description                Cost                Retail
2	Beginning inventory                 40000            360000
3	Purchases                                  1000000        10000000
4	Transportation in                       50000
5	Purchase returns                      -20000          -196000    
6	Net purchases(3+4+5)             1030000        9804000	
7	Net additional markups                                    800000    
8	Cost to retail ratio                     1070000       10964000
   component(2+6+7)
9	Net markdowns                                                -500000    
10	Sales                                                                  -9800000    
11	Ending inventory,retail(8+9+10)                       664000
Setup calculation:
Cost to retail ratio = Cost to retail ratio component at cost/Cost to retail ratio component at retail
= 1070000/10964000
= 0.097592
= 9.76%
Ending inventory,cost = Ending inventory,retail*Cost to retail ratio
= 664000*9.76%
= $64806
Cost of goods sold = Sales*Cost to retail ratio
= 9800000*9.76%
= $956480
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
E) if the firm evaluates these projects and all other projects at the new overall corporate wacc, it will probably become riskier over time.
Explanation:
Before the merger, Audaco would have rejected any project with an IRR of less than 12% (more risky investments) while Careco only required a 10% IRR (less risky projects). But after the merger the combined WACC will be lower than Audaco's, but higher than Careco's. Therefore, the new merged company will start accepting more risky projects and that tendency will continue over time. Eventually, the company's WACC will have to adjust and increase, and the cycle will continue.
