Answer:
behavioral finance
Explanation:
Behavioral finance focuses on how psychological factors influence markets, and how important they are. E.g. expectations can sometimes be more important than actual results. Stock prices are not necessarily determined using scientific methods, that is why each analyst has his/her own expected future price. No one can know for sure which price is correct, since each analyst will factor certain variables depending on his/her expectations about the future of the company, the stock market, the country's economy and even the world's economy.
Most people would agree that Warren Buffet is generally right when pricing stocks or adjusting stock prices, but even he is not 100% right all the time. Even personal issues affect how investors value stocks. E.g. if the market has been rising and the economy is strong, most investors will be confident and might decide to take higher risks. On the other hand, if the market is not doing so well, investors might be afraid, and they will seek risk free investments. That is the reason why US securities sometimes yield negative returns. It is simply illogical to invest money knowing that you will lose, just leave the money in the bank. But sometimes desperation leads to mistakes.
When all of a firm's inputs are doubled, input prices do not change, and this results in the firm's level of production more than doubling, a firm is operating:
Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.
Explanation:
The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.
This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.
In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.
What will be the nominal rate of return on a perpetual preferred stock with a $100 par value, a stated dividend of 8% of par, and a current market price of (a) $62, (b) $81, (c) $97, and (d) $136
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the risk premium is shown below:-
Rate of return = Dividend ÷ Current market price of preferred stock
The dividend should be
= $100 × 8%
= $8
a Rate of return = $8 ÷ $62
= 12.90%
b. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $81
= 9.88%
c. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $97
= 8.25%
d. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $136
= 5.88%
Lemon Corporation generated $324,600 of income from ordinary business operations. It also sold several assets during the year. Compute Lemon’s taxable income under each of the following alternative assumptions about the tax consequences of the asset sales.
a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.
b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.
c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.
d.Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.
Answer:
a. Lemon’s taxable income = $322,700
b. Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600
c. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,200
d. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,400
Explanation:
Before the questions are answered, the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules are quoted as follows:
- If you have a net section 1231 loss, it is an ordinary loss.
- If you have a net section 1231 gain, it is ordinary income up to the amount of your unrecaptured section 1231 losses from previous years. The rest, if any, is a long-term capital gain.
Therefore, net section 1231 loss which is an ordinary loss is deducted from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.
Also, we describe the following:
Taxable income can be described as the amount of income that is employed to calculated the amount of tax that is payable to the government by an individual or a company in a particular tax year. It is obtained after making all required additions and allowable deductions.
Capital gain can be described as an increase in the value of a capital asset which is realized when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital gain is added to the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.
Capital loss can be described as a decrease in the value of a capital asset which is recognised when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital loss is deducted from the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.
We therefore proceed as follows:
a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.
From the question, we have the following:
Income from ordinary business operations = $324,600
Capital gain recognised = $5,500
Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $7,400
Based on the explanation provided above, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:
Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Capital gain recognised - Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $324,600 + $5,500 - $7,400 = $322,700
b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.
From the question, there is nothing related past five years stated and it is therefore assumed that there is no net section 1231 loss in the past five years.
As result, the total of $4,700 net Section 1231 gain is regarded as a capital gain and it is set-off against the $6,500 capital loss as follows to obtain the non-deductible expense as follows:
Non-deductible expense = $6,500 - $4,700 = $1,800
Since there is nothing deductible again, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore equal to the income from ordinary business operations of $324,600. That is,
Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600
c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.
Since no net section 1231 loss in the past five years is indicated here, the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain will be treated as a long-term capital gain.
Based on the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above, non-deductible expense is calculated by deducting the $3,900 capital loss to the extent of the $2,500 capital gain as follows:
Non-deductible expense = $3,900 - $2,500 = $1,400
Since the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain has to be treated as a long-term capital gain, the $1,400 will be deducted from it obtain the net capital gain as follows:
Net capital gain = $3000 - $1400 = $1600
Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated by adding the $1,600 net capital gain to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations as follows:
Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600 + $1600 = $326,200
d. Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.
We have the following:
Section 1231 loss = $4,200
Section 1231 gain = $2,000
Therefore, we have:
Net section 1231 loss = Section 1231 loss - Section 1231 gain = $4,200 - 2,000 = $2,200
This net section 1231 loss of $2,200 is therefore treated as ordinary loss as already stated in the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above and deducted from the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.
In addition, the depreciation recapture of $4,000 will be treated as ordinary income and it will be added to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.
Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:
Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Depreciation recapture - Net section 1231 loss = $324,600 + $4,000 - $2,200 = $326,400

A University is offering a charitable gift program. A former student who is now 50 years old is consider the following offer: The student can invest $8,900.00 today and then will be paid a 9.00% APR return starting on his 65th birthday (i.e For a $10,000 investment, a 9% rate would mean $900 per year). The program will pay the cash flow for this investment while you are still alive. You anticipate living 21.00 more years after your 65th birthday. The former student wants a return of 6.00% on his investments, but would like to consider this opportunity.
Required:
Using the student's desired return, what is the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday?
Answer:
The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.
Explanation:
Since the student's desired return of 6% will also start to be paid starting on his 65th birthday, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can be calculated by first calculating the value of the investment on the 65th birthday.
We therefore proceed with the following two steps:
Step 1: Calculation of the value of the investment on the 65th birthday
The value of the investment on the 65th birthday can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday =?
P = Annuity payment = Invested amount * Student's desired return = $8,900 * 6% = $534
r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of more years anticipate to live after 65th birthday = 21
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV at 65 = $534 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^21) / 0.06)
PV at 65 = $534 * 11.764076621288
PV at 65 = $6,282.02
Therefore, the value of the investment on the 65th birthday is $6,282.02.
Step 2: Calculation of the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday
The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can therefore be calculated using the simple present value for as follows:
PV at 50 = PV at 65 / (1 + r)^N …………………………….. (2)
Where;
PV at 50 = the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday = ?
PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday = $6,282.02
r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06
N = number of years from 50th birthday to 65th birthday = 65 - 50 = 15
Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:
PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / (1 + 0.06)^15
PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / 2.39655819309969
PV at 50 = $2,621.27
Therefore, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.
Please discuss the following two scenarios: Both scenarios consist of a loan of $1000 on Jan.1 - to be paid back on Dec. 31. A is the lender and B is the debtor.
Scenario 1: On Nov. 7th, A calls B to see how he is doing. B says he is not doing well. A asks if B will be able to pay the $1000 on Dec. 31. B says probably not. A asks how much B will have and B says about $700. A tells B to pay him $700 on Dec. 31 and that he will not owe him the additional $300. A puts it in writing. On Dec. 31, B pays the agreed upon $700. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants the additional $300.
Scenario 2: Same situation, but on the Nov. 7th phone call, A tells B to pay him the $700 now and then he will not owe him the additional $300. It is put in writing. B pays $700 on Nov. 7th. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants to additional $300. In which scenario can A get the additional $300.
In which scenario can A get the additional $300? It could be in both scenarios, neither or one of them. What do you think?
Answer:
Neither
Explanation:
When A creates a deal of B paying only $700 now or on 31st December with a written commitment that he will not owe $300, it means A has decided to write off the $300. Had A not created any written document and just asked B to pay $700 now and then later on reminded and demanded $300 it would have been fine. A would still be legally right in maintaining that B still owes the balance $300.
However, giving a written commitment of waving off the $300 on payment of $700 now or by 31st Dec which B accepts and also adheres to by paying means that B has fulfilled the new agreement. As A has only floated the new agreement, he cannot go back from his own statements.

Interest Rate on 2-Year Loan
Interest Rate on 5-Year Loan
Answer:
Interest Rate on 2-Year Loan...$435.6
Interest Rate on 5-Year Loan...$1,452
Explanation:
The formula for calculating simple interest is as follows.
I = P x R x T,
where I = interest
P= Principal
R= interest rate
T= time
For the loan at 4.5 percent for 2 years, the interest will be
= $4,840 x 4.5/100 x 2
= $4,840 x 0.045 x 2
= $435.6
Total cost of the loan will principal plus interest
=$435.6 + $4,840
=$5,275.6
Monthly loan cost
= $5,275.6/24
=$219.81
Total loan cost..$5,275.6
Monthly loan cost ...$219.81
For the Loan at 6 percent for 5 years, the interest will be
= $4,840 x 6/100 x 5
= $4,840 x 0.06 x 5
=$1,452
Total cost of the loan will be principal plus interest
=$ 4,840 + $1,452
=$6,292
Monthly costs will be
=$6,292/60
=$104.87
Total loan cost... $6,292
Monthly loan costs... $104.87

If a Treasury note has a bid price of $975, the quoted bid price in the Wall Street Journal would be
Answer:
the quoted bid price would be 97:16
Explanation:
the quoted ask price will be 97:50
The quoted bid price is the price at which buyers are willing to purchase a security, while the quoted ask is the price at which sellers are willing to sell their securities. There is always a difference between both of them, and it is called the spread.
Broca Corporation has a current ratio of 2.5. Which of the following transactions will increase Broca's current ratio? Select one: a. the purchase of inventory for cash. b. the collection of an account receivable. c. the payment of an account payable. d. none of the above.
Answer:
b. the collection of an account receivable
Explanation:
The formula to compute the current ratio is shown below:
As we know that
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
If the current ratio is 2.5 that means the current assets is higher than the current ratio
As per the given options, the option b is correct and hence the same is to be considered
The transaction that will increase Broca's current ratio is d. none of the above.
The current ratio is not increased by the purchase of inventory for cash because this transaction has no effect on the current assets. The collection of an account receivable is not going to increase the current ratio for the same reason above (no effect on the current assets).
The payment of an account payable reduces the current assets and current liabilities by the same amount and will not affect the current ratio.
Thus, the transaction that will increase the current ratio is d.

Adelberg Corporation makes two products: Product A and Product B. Annual production and sales are 1,500 units of Product A and 1,500 units of Product B. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.2 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $87,630. The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows:
Expected Activity
Activity Cost Pool Estimated Overhead Costs Product A Product B Total
Activity 1 $ 41,400 1,000 500 1,500
Activity 2 15,720 800 400 1,200
General Factory 30,510 600 300 900
Total $ 87,630
(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)
The overhead cost per unit of Product B under the activity-based costing system is closest to:_________
a. $42.90
b. $9.10
c. $21.30
d. $63.92
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 41,400/1,500= $27.6 per unit of activity
Activity 2= 15,720/1,200= $13.1 per unit of activity
General Factory= 30,510/900= $33.9 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to product B:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 27.6*500= $13,800
Activity 2= 13.1*400= $5,240
General Factory= 33.9*300= $10,170
Total allocated overhead= $29,210
Unitary allocated overhead= 29,210/1,500= $19.47

It is important that marketers be able to identify which strategy a competitor is using so that they better understand how to position their own products and services. You will see a list of recent or potential strategic decisions made by large firms, and your job is to identify which type of strategy was used in each example.
While there are a variety of strategies across industries, most fall under four basic categories.
1. Market penetration strategies emphasize selling more existing products and services to existing customers.
2. Product development strategies involve creating new goods or services for existing markets.
3. Market development strategies focus on selling existing products or services to new customers. The targeted new customers could be a different gender, age group, or international market.
4. Finally, diversification strategies involve offering new products that are unrelated to the existing products produced by the organization.

Alice and Bob entered into a forward contract some time ago. Alice has the long position, while Bob has the short position. The forward contract will mature in three months and has a delivery price of $40. The current forward price for the contract is $42. The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 8%. What is the value Bob's position?
Answer:
$ - 1.96
Explanation:
After three months, Alice (long the contract) can buy the underlying by paying the delivery price of $40 which is $2 less than $42 the long position would have to pay if the contract was entered today.
DATA
Delivery price = $40
The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) =8%.
The current forward price = $42
Solution
So based on the present situation, Alice would be in $2 profit at the end of 3 months and Bob would be in $2 loss
Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = 2\times e^{-0.08\times 0.25}
Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = $1.96
The value of Bob's position is $ - 1.96

The following inventory valuation errors have been discovered for Knox Corporation:
The 2015 year-end inventory was overstated by $23,000
The 2016 year-end inventory was understated by $61,000
The 2017 year-end inventory was understated by $17,000
The reported income before taxes for Knox was:
Year: Income before Taxes:
2015 $138,000
2016 $254,000
2017 $168,000
Required:
Compute what income before taxes for 2015, 2016, and 2017 should have been after correcting for the errors.
Answer:
Income +/- inventory adjustment
2015: 138,000 - 23,000 = 115,000
2016: 254,000 + 61,000 = 315,000
2017: 168,000 + 17,000 = 185,000
Explanation:
Inventory Identity:
Beginning + Purchases = Ending + COGS
As the mistake is on the right side it compensates by the other component which is COGS
When the inventory is overstated this means COGS is understated.
We didn't record the cost of good sold thefore our gross profit is higher making the net income higher.
When the inventory is understated this means COGS is overstated.
We record more cost of goods sold thefore our gross profit is lower making the net income fewer as well.
If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of $250 a month, the on-campus housing market is
Answer: B. inefficient; the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented
Explanation:
If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of $250 a month, the on-campus housing market is inefficient because the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented.
An efficient market will see equilibrium supply meting equilibrium demand and this is not the case in this market because the supply seems to stay the same regardless of the demand.
This market is inefficient because supply does not react to the rent paid and is always the same. This is why a rent ceiling of $250 had no effect on the market in terms of supply. Efficient markets should see both supply and demand reacting to price so that a mutually beneficial equilibrium can be reached.
