Answer:
$1.9
Explanation:
The computation of the earning per share is shown below:
Earning per share is
= Net income ÷ Weighted number of oustanding shares
= $380,000 ÷ 200,000 shares
= $1.9
By simply divide the net income from the Weighted number of oustanding shares, the earning per share could be determined
Hence, the earning per share is $1.9

Consider a simple example economy where there are two goods, coconuts and restaurant meals (coconut-based). There are two firms. A coconut producer collects and sells 10 million coconuts at $2.00 each. The firm pays $5 million in wages, $0.5 million in interest on an old loan, and $1.5 million in taxes to the government. We also know that 4 million coconuts are sold to the public for consumption, and 6 million coconuts are sold to the restaurant firm, which uses them to prepare meals. The restaurant sells $30 million in meals. The restaurant pays $4 million in wages and the government $3 million in taxes. The government supplies security and accounting services and employs only labor, and government workers are paid $5.5 million, collected in taxed by the government. Finally, consumers pay $1 million in taxes to the government in addition to the taxes paid by the two firms.
Required:
a. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the product approach.
b. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the expenditure approach.
c. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the income approach.
Answer:
1) GDP using product Approach ; Market value of all goods and services produced
= Coconut + Restaurant meal
= 10 million*$2 + ($30 million - $6 million*$2) as 6 million coconuts are sold to restaurant as raw materials so to avoid double counting.
= $20 million + $30 million - $12 million
= $38 million
2) Expenditure Approach : Consumption + Investment + Government Expenditure + Net Exports
= $4 million * $2 + $30 million + $5.5 million
= $8 million + $30 million + $5.5 million
= $43.5 million
3) Income Approach : Wages + Rent + Interest + Profit
= $5 million + $0.5 million + $1.5 million +$3 million + $4 million + $1 million
= $15 million

Gina made a down payment on a motorcycle. What incentive did she have for making a down payment?
O A tax break
O A higher loan rate
O A less secure loan
O A reduced time in debt
Because Gina made a down payment on a motorcycle, an incentive that she have for making such down payment is a reduced time in debt.
What do we mean by down payment?Basically, a down payment refers to the cash that the buyer pays upfront in a transaction and other large purchases. These payment are typically a percentage of the purchase price and can range from as little as 3% to as much as 20%
Here, she intends to purchase that motorbike on credit and by making a down-payment, she is reducing the amount she needs to borrow to buy the bike. So, a reduced loan amount means that Gina will require less to repay which implies that the interest to be paid will reduce.

what has the U.S customs created to force importing companies like wal-mart to provide more detailed information about
Answer: The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT)
Explanation:
The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) is a partnership program between the public and private sector created by the US Customs to improve border and cargo security.
When a firm like Wal-Mart becomes a member of the CTPAT, the likelihood of their goods being examined at a port of entry falls but this is because of the oversight requirements imposed on the firms such as ensuring the members provide detailed information about their suppliers and transportation companies.
CAM charges for retail leases in a shopping mall must be calculated. The retail mall consists of a total area of 2.8 million square feet, of which 800,000 square feet has been leased to anchor tenants that have agreed to pay $2 per rentable square foot in CAM charges. In-line tenants occupy 1.3 million square feet, and the remainder is a common area, which the landlord believeswill require $8 per square foot to maintain and operate each year. If the owner is to cover total CAM charges, how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot?
Answer:
$3.08 per square foot
Explanation:
Calculation for how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot
First step is to find the common area
Common area = 2,800,000−800,000−1,300,000 Common area= 700,000
Second step is to find Common area operating costs
Common area operating costs = 700,000×8
Common area operating costs= $5.6 million
Third step is to find the Operating costs charged to in-line tenants
Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 5,600,000−800,000×2
Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 4,000,000
Last step is to calculate the In-line CAM charges using this formula
In-line CAM charges=Operating costs charged to in-line tenants -In-line tenants square feet
Let plug in the formula
In-line CAM charges = 4,000,000 ÷ 1,300,000
In-line CAM charges= $3.08
Therefore the amount that in-line tenants have to pay per square foot will be $3.08 per square foot.

A deposit of $10,000 is made a year from now, a second deposit of $10,000 is made at the end of the year 5, and a deposit of $3000 is made at the end of year 8. The account earns 6% interest. You want to withdraw an equal amount, X at the end of each year for the next 10 years. What is the amount of X if the goal is to empty the account
Answer:
$4068.77
Explanation:
We calculate the Future value of all the three deposits at the end of year 8
FV = CF1 *(1+r)^8-1 + CF5*(1+r)^8-5 + CF8 * (1+r)^8-8
FV = 10000 *(1+0.06)^7 + 10000*(1+0.06)^3 + 3000 * (1+0.06)^0
FV = 15,036.30 + 11,910.16 + 3,000
FV= $29,946.46
We have to calculate the annuity payments that have a Present value = $29,946.46
PV = PMT * 1-(1+r)^-n / r
PV = 29,946.46, PMT= ?, r = 6%, n = 10
29,946.46 = PMT * 1-(1+0.06)^-10 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 1.06^-10 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 0.558395 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 0.441605 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 7.36008
PMT = 29,946.46/7.36008
PMT = 4068.768274257889
PMT = $4068.77
Thus, amount of X is $4068.77 if the goal is to empty the account.
Apply What You’ve Learned - Managing Credit Cards and ConsumerLoans
Scenario: You are 30 years old, married, have two children, and household income (take-home pay) of$3,500 per month. Your credit and consumer debt is as follows:_______.
• Car loan, 6% interest rate, $10,000 balance, $295 per month
• Department store card, 28% interest rate, $600 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
• Discover Card, 12% interest rate, $2,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• VISA Card, 13% interest rate, $3,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• MasterCard 1, 14% interest rate, $4,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• MasterCard 2, 14% interest rate, $0 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• Gasoline card, 21% interest rate, $300 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
Assume all credit cards will assess a $35 late fee and ongoing penalty interest of 8% above the currentrate if you miss a payment. Your recent VISA card statement came with a blank cash advance check(for up to $10,000) with terms of 23.99% APR and a fee of 3% if you use it. Your recent MasterCard 2statement came with a balance transfer oFer (up to $4,000) with no fee and 0% APR for 12 months,after which the normal interest rate applies. You recently found an incorrect amount charged on yourVISA card from a store you frequent often. You’d like to come up with a plan to eliminate all of yourcredit card debt.
In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
Yes, you can invest the money saved each month to earn interest.
No, it will cause your interest rate to go up.
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for manyyears.
Yes, this allows you more ±exibility in your cash budget.
Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, howmuch should you pay on each card?

Answer:
1) In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for many years.All you have to do is analyze the interest rates charged by the credit card companies and it is really difficult for any investment to match those interest rates.
2) Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, how much should you pay on each card?
I would start with the cards that charge the highest interest rates. I would pay the full balance of the department store card and the gasoline card = $600 + $300 = $900
Since I have $600 left, I would then pay the minimum payments for the cards that charge the least interest rates. I would pay $40 to Discover card and $60 to VISA.
The remaining $500 would be used to pay MasterCard 1 card and lower its balance.

Company XYZ closed at $ per share with a P/E ratio of . Answer the following questions. a. How much were earnings per share? b. Does the stock seem overpriced, underpriced, or about right given that the historical P/E ratio is 12-14?
Answer:
Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question
Company XYZ closed at $53.02 per share with a P/E ratio of 14.02 .
Answer :
A) $3.79
B) underpriced
Explanation:
Given data:
Closing price ( price per share ) = $53.02
P/E ratio = 14.02
A ) How much earnings per share
Earnings per share = price per share / (P/E) ratio
= 53.02 / 14.02 = $3.79
B) To check if the stock is overpriced, underpriced or about right
i) At P/E ratio = 12
Earnings per share = 53.02 / 12 = $4.43
Earning yield = ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= ( 4.43 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 8.33%
ii) At P/E ratio = 13
Earnings per share = 53.02 / 13 = $4.09
Earning Yield = ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= (4.09 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 7.69%
iii) At P/E ratio = 14
Earnings per share = 53.02 / 14 = $ 3.8
Earnings yield = ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= ( 3.8 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 7.14%
The average of the earning yield given P/E ratio is 12-14
= ( 8.33 + 7.69 + 7.14 ) % / 3 = 7.72%
while The earning yield given P/E ratio is 14.02
= ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= ( 3.79 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 7.12%
Therefore the stock is underpriced

The company is considering hiring its own sales staff to replace the network of agents. It will pay its salespeople a commission of 8% and incur additional fixed costs of $7,500,000.
Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation
Answer: $56,040,000
Explanation:
Here is the question:
1.Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation's break-even point in sales dollars for the year.
Sales = $75,000,000
Less: variable cost = $75,000,000 + ($75,000,000 × 8%) = $31,500,000 + $6,000,000 = $37,500,000
Contribution margin = $37,500,000
Fixed cost = 10,260,000 + 10,260,000 + 7,500,000 = $28,020,000
Operating income = $11,130,000
Contribution margin = 0.5
Break even point in sales will now be:
= Fixed cost/contribution margin ratio
= $28,020,000/0.5
= $56,040,000

Bristo Corporation has sales of 1,750 units at $40 per unit. Variable expenses are 30% of the selling price. If total fixed expenses are $39,000, the degree of operating leverage is:
Answer:
1,750=$40=1,750×40=70-30÷100×39,000=58,3
Explanation:
is total cost of production can be fixed cost +variable cost
Answer:
degree of operating leverage= 4.9
Explanation:
To calculate the degree of operating leverage, we need to use the following formula:
degree of operating leverage= Total contribution margin / operating income
Total Contribution margin= 1,750*(40*0.7)= $49,000
Operating income= 49,000 - 39,000= $10,000
degree of operating leverage= 49,000/10,000
degree of operating leverage= 4.9
Pham can work as many or as few hours as she wants at the college bookstore for $12 per hour. But due to her hectic schedule, she has just 15 hours per week that she can spend working at either the bookstore or other potential jobs. One potential job, at a café, will pay her $15 per hour for up to 6 hours per week. She has another job offer at a garage that will pay her $13 an hour for up to 5 hours per week. And she has a potential job at a daycare center that will pay her $11.50 per hour for as many hours as she can work.
If her goal is to maximize the amount of money she can make each week, how many hours will she work at the bookstore?
Answer:
4 hours
Explanation:
For Pham to maximize her income, she must consider the jobs with the highest per-hour earnings first. She has 15 hours to work. Her priorities should be as below.
Work at the cafe for 6 hours for $15 per hourWork at the garage for 5 hours for $13 per hourWork at the books store for 4 hours for $12 per hourA total of 15 hours. Pham can work at the book store for 4 hours per week to maximize her income.
Pham will have to work 4 hour per week at the bookstore to maximize her pay.
Given data
Total number of hours available per week = 15 hours
Cafe will pay her $15 per hour up to 6 hoursGarage offers $13 per hour up to 5 hoursDycare Centre offers $11.50 per hours for as long as she can workOut of the potential job, only the cafe and garage centre pay is more than the pay of bookstore
Hence, in order to maximize the amount of money, Pham have to devote 6 hours at the cafe, 5 hours at the garage centre and remaining 4 hours at bookstore,
In this way, the amount of money she will receives will be at maximum.
Working at Cafe she will make $15 * 6 = $90 Working at Garage centre she will make $13 * 5 = $65Working at Bookstore she will make $12*4 = $48Total amount she will earn = $90 + $65 + $48
Total amount she will earn = $203
Therefore, Pham will have to work 4 hour per week at the bookstore to maximize her pay.

Mathias Corporation manufactures and sells wire rakes. The rakes sell for $20 each. Information about the company's costs is as follows.
Variable manufacturing cost per unit $6
Variable selling and administrative cost per unit 2
Fixed manufacturing overhead per month $300,000
Fixed selling and administrative cost per month 600,000
Required:
a. Determine the company's monthly break-even point in units.
b. Determine the sales volume (in dollars) required for a monthly operating income of $1,200,000.
c. Compute the company’s margin of safety if its current monthly sales level is $2,500,000.
d. Estimate the amount by which monthly operating income will increase if the company anticipates a $100,000 increase in monthly sales volume.
Answer:
a. 75,000 units
b. $1,700,000
c. 0.40 or 40 %
d. $60,000
Explanation:
Break-even point is the level of activity where a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Break-even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
Where,
Contribution per unit = Unit Selling Price less Variable Costs per unit
= $20 - $6 - $2
= $12.00
Therefore,
Break-even point (units) = ($300,000 + $600,000) ÷ $12.00
= 75,000 units
Sales (dollars) to reach target profit = (Fixed Costs + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
Where,
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales
= $12.00 ÷ $20.00
= 0.60
Therefore,
Sales (dollars) to reach target profit = ($300,000 + $600,000 + 1,200,000) ÷ 0.60
= $1,700,000
Margin of Safety = (Sales level - Break-even Sales level) ÷ Sales level
= ($2,500,000 - $1,500,000) ÷ $2,500,000
= 0.40 or 40 %

Bernie and Phil's Great American Surplus store placed an ad in the Sunday Times stating, "Next Saturday at 8:00 A.M. sharp 3 brand new mink coats worth $5,000 each will be sold for $500 each! First come, First served." Marsha LufMin was first in line when the store opened and went directly to the coat department, but the coats identified in the ad were not available for sale. She identified herself to the manager and pointed out that she was first in line in conformity with the store's advertised offer and that she was ready to pay the $500 price set forth in the store's offer. The manager responded that a newspaper ad is just an invitation to negotiate and that the store decided to withdraw "the mink coat promotion." Review the text on unilateral contracts in Section 12(b) of Chapter 12. Decide.
Answer:
This technique is called "bait and switch", it is illegal and is considered false advertising. A seller cannot falsely advertise a product and then simply say that they do not have it on stock. It is a type of sales fraud and it is prohibited by the Lanham Act.
In order for this situation to be considered legal, the seller must have advertised and sold a certain amount of coats, but it didn't sell any. I.e. the seller runs out of stock because it already sold the 3 coats.

20. The consumer price index was 120 in 2013 and 126 in 2014. The nominal interest rate during this period was 8 percent. What was the real interest rate during this period? A) 3 percent B) 2 percent C) 3.3 percent D) 5.2 percent E) 12.8 percent
Answer: 3%
Explanation:
To calculate the real interest rate, it should be noted that the inflation rate is needed and this can be calculated using the consumer price index as:
= [(126-120)/120] × 100
= 6/120 × 100
= 5%
Real interest rate will now be:
= Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate
= 8% - 5%
= 3%
Carmel Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine costing $38,000 with a 4-year useful life and no salvage value. Carmel uses straight-line depreciation and assumes that the annual cash inflow from the machine will be received uniformly throughout each year. In calculating the accounting rate of return, what is Carmel's average investment?
Answer:
$19,000
Explanation
Calculation for Carmel's average investment
Using this formula
Average investment=Investment/2
Let plug in the formula
Average investment=($38,000 + $0)/2
Average investment=$19,000
Therefore Carmel's average investment will be $19,000
In both the United States and France, the demand for haircuts is given by QD=300−10P . However, in the United States, the supply is given by QS=−300+20P , while in France, the supply is given by QS=−33.33+6.67P .
Required:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
b. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
Answer:
a. P = 20 and Q = 100 in the United States; and also P = 20 and Q = 100 in France.
b. P = 23.33 and Q = 166.70 in the United States; and P = 26 and Q = 140 in France.
Explanation:
Note: The part b of the requirement is not complete. The entire question is therefore represented with the complete pat b before answering the question as follows:
In both the United States and France, the demand for haircuts is given by QD=300−10P . However, in the United States, the supply is given by QS=−300+20P , while in France, the supply is given by QS=−33.33+6.67P .
Required:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
b. Suppose that the demand for haircuts in both countries increases by 100 units at each price, so that the new demand is QD = 400 - 10P. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
The explanation to the answers is now provided as follows:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
In economics, an equilibrium occurs at point where the quantities demanded is equal to the quantities supplied.
Let Q denotes equilibrium quantity and P denotes equilibrium price, the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries can therefore be calculated as follows:
In the United States
QD =300 − 10P
QS= −300 + 20P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
300 - 10P = −300 + 20P
300 + 300 = 20P + 10P
600 = 30P
P = 600 / 30
P = 20
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 300 – 10(20)
Q = 300 – 200
Q = 100
Therefore, P = 20 and Q = 100 in the United States.
In France
QD = 300 − 10P
QS= −33.33 + 6.67P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
300 - 10P = −33.33 + 6.67P
300 + 33.33 = 6.67P + 10P
333.33 = 16.67P
P = 333.33 / 16.67
P = 20
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 300 – 10(20)
Q = 300 – 200
Q = 100
Therefore, P = 20 and Q = 100 also in France.
b. Suppose that the demand for haircuts in both countries increases by 100 units at each price, so that the new demand is QD = 400 - 10P. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
In the United States
QD = 400 − 10P
QS= −300 + 20P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
400 - 10P = −300 + 20P
400 + 300 = 20P + 10P
700 = 30P
P = 700 / 30
P = 23.33
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 400 – 10(23.33)
Q = 400 – 233.30
Q = 166.70
Therefore, P = 23.33 and Q = 166.70 in the United States.
In France
QD = 400 − 10P
QS= −33.33 + 6.67P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
400 - 10P = −33.33 + 6.67P
400 + 33.33 = 6.67P + 10P
433.33 = 16.67P
P = 433.33 / 16.67
P = 25.99 = 26
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 400 – 10(26)
Q = 400 – 260
Q = 140
Therefore, P = 26 and Q = 140 in France.
Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for 20 years and have four children who qualify as their dependents (Damarcus, Janine, Michael, and Candice). The couple received salary income of $100,000 and qualified business income of $10,000 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $200,000 and they sold it for $250,000. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $16,500 of itemized deductions, and they had $3,550 withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for each of their children. However, because Candice is 18 years of age, the Jacksons may only claim the child tax credit for other qualifying dependents for Candice. (Use the tax rate schedules.)
Comprehensive Problem 4-55 Parts-c through f
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?
Answer:
a. Taxable income = $80,000
b. Taxable income = $77,600
c. Taxable income = $80,600
Explanation:
Taxable income refers to the amount of income that is used to determine the amount of tax that will be paid to the government by an individual or firm in given year. The taxable income is arrived at after all the relevant addition and allowable deductions have been made.
The requirements are therefore answered as follows:
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
Note: See part a of the attached excel file see the effect on taxable income.
The itemized deductions total of $28,000 instead of $16,500 makes the taxable income to be $80,000.
In the attached excel file, the following calculations is used:
Qualified business income deduction = Qualified business income * Parentage of deduction allowed = $10,000 * 20% = $2,000
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.
This makes the taxable income to be equal to $77,600.
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?
Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.
The loss of loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets incurred by the Jacksons is capital loss.
For tax purposes, capital loss of can be deducted as a loss on tax return by tax payers with a maximum of $3,000 to be deducted per year.
Therefore, the Jacksons will deduct $3,000 as a capital loss from their tax return, and the effect of this is to reduce the taxable income by $3,000.
This makes the taxable income to be equal to $80,600.
One of the disadvantages of the sole proprietorship is related to the fact that the amount of equity capital that can be raised to finance the business is limited to the owner's personal wealth. ____________ is about determining how the firm should finance or pay for assets. The risk manager monitors and manages the firm's risk exposure in financial and commodity markets and the firm's relationships with insurance providers. Privately held, or closely held, corporations are typically owned by a small number of investors, and their shares are not traded publicly.
Answer:
The missing word is: Financial Risk
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Financial Risk" is used in the field of business and finances in order to explain that the companies, and also the government, have to find a way to determine how the firm will finance itself so that they could pay for all the assets they own. Moreover, this financial term implicates the loss of the money that can happen when the company needs to invest in assets and the operations may not go right. So that is why that it is a concept used to understand the danger that the organization has when it comes to acquire the assets and pay for them.

To protect consumers from unfair credit practices, credit laws were established
-true
-false
Answer:
true
Explanation:
"It started with the Consumer Credit Protection Act of 1968, when Congress moved to shield consumers and their financial records from abuse. In the years following, other laws refined consumer rights, spelling out how the government can access bank customers’ information, how banks treat borrowers and the way banks handle customer deposits.
It all came to a head after the Great Recession in 2008, and out of that, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was formed, a new government agency dedicated to protecting consumers.
Today, there are countless laws, acts and regulations designed to protect consumers. The sheer number of laws can be overwhelming, but it is important that consumers understand their basic rights, so they can identify when those rights have been violated."
