Answer:
45ohms
Explanation:
Total resistance in parallel can be calculated by the addition of both resistors
1/R= 1/R1 + 1/R2
The value given are
R1= 90 ohms , R2= 90 ohms
1/R = 1/90+1/90
Take the LCM of both denominators
1/R = 2/90
1/R = 1/45
Cross multiply both sides
R×1 = 45×1
R= 45 ohms
Thus, the total reistance is 45 ohms
Answer:
Total circuit resistance = 45ohms
Explanation:
Given that R1 = 90 and R2 = 90
Rt = total circuit resistance
Resistance in parallel:
Resistance in parallel is found by:
1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2
1/Rt = 1/90 + 1/90
Take the L. C. M and simply
1/Rt = (1 + 1) / 90
1/Rt = 2 / 90
1/Rt = 1/45
Rt = 45 ohms
Total circuit resistance = 45ohms

Many luxury sheets cost less than $200 to make but sell for more than $500 in retail stores. Some cost even more dash–consumers pay almost $3,000 for Frett'e "Tangeri Pizzo" king-size luxury linens. The creators of a new brand of luxury linens, called Boll & Branch, have entered this market. They want to price their sheets lower than most brands but still want to earn an adequate margin on sales. The sheets come in a luxurious box that can be reused to store lingerie, jewelry, or other keepsakes. The Boll & Branch brand touts fair trade practices when sourcing its high-grade long-staple organic cotton from India. The company calculated the price to consumers to be $350If the company decides to sell through retailers instead of directly to consumers online, to maintain the consumer price at $350,at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers? Assume wholesalers desire a 5percent margin and retailers get a 30percent margin, both based on their respective selling prices.
Answer:
at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers?
$232.75Explanation:
sales price to consumers = $350
retailers' margin = $350 x 30% = $105
price at which retailers purchase each unit = $350 - $105 = $245
sales price to retailers = $245
wholesaler's margin = $245 x 5% = $12.25
price at which wholesaler purchases each unit = $245 - $12.25 = $232.75
how to verify this:
($232.75 x 5/95) + $232.75 = $245
($245 x 30/70) + $245 = $350
Consider a low-wage labor market. Workers in this market are not presently covered by the minimum wage, but the government is considering implementing such legislation. If implemented, this law would require employers in the market to pay workers a $5 hourly wage. Suppose all workers in the market are equally productive, the current market clearing wage rate is $4 per hour, and that at this market clearing wage there are 600 employed workers. Further suppose that under the minimum wage legislation, only 500 workers would be employed and 300 workers would be unemployed. Finally, assume that the market demand and supply curves are linear and that the market reservation wage, the lowest wage at which any worker in the market would be willing to work, is $2. Compute the dollar value of the impact of the policy on employers, workers, and society as a whole.
Answer:
the total impact of minimum wage on employers, workers, and society as a whole is -$150
Explanation:
From the information given ;
As a result of the increase in the wage they must pay; employers will lose surplus that relates to the area of a trapezoid resulting from the reduction in the size of the surplus triangle according to the demand curve of labor; In short, since the trapezoid is a parallelogram ; it could be thought to be as a rectangle with sides equal to the wage increase of ( $5 - $4) = $1
Also; the new employment level is $500
The triangle with a height equal to the wage increase is $1 with a base equal to the reduction in the number of workers demanded (600 - 500 = 100)
Summing up all two areas together;we get:
= (1)(500) + (1) (100/2)
= 500 + 50
= $550
The worker who remain in the market each gain a surplus equal to the amount of $1 increase in the wage that they receive.
Therefore; the total increase in surplus = (1)(500) = $500
The 100 workers who lose their job will definitely lose surplus.
If these worker are evenly distributed along the market supply curve between the market reservation wage of $2 and market equilibrium wage of $4.
Their average loss of surplus can be computed as:
= 1/2($4 - $2)
=0.5($2)
= $1
Thus; the total loss of surplus is :
= $100× $1
= $100
Thus , the total impact of minimum wage on employers, workers, and society as a whole is :
= $550 -$ 100 - $550
= -$150
Asonia Co. will pay a dividend of $5.30, $9.40, $12.25, and $14.25 per share for each of the next four years, respectively. The company will then close its doors. If investors require a return of 9.8 percent on the company's stock, what is the stock price?
Answer:
$31.68
Explanation:
The computation of the stock price is shown below:
= Dividend for year 1 ÷ (1 + required return)^number of years + Dividend for year 2 ÷ (1 + required return)^ number of years + Dividend for year 3 ÷ (1 + required return)^ number of years + Dividend for year 4 ÷ (1 + required return)^ number of years
= $5.30 ÷ (1 + 9.8%) + $9.40 ÷ (1 + 9.8%)^2 + $12.25 ÷ (1 + 9.8%)^3 + $14.25 ÷ (1 + 9.8%)^4
= 4.82695810564663 + 7.79692170895252 + 9.25399090557962 + 9.80404969365523
= 31.681920413834

Evaluate the following investment options by comparing their risk and liquidity: buying a franchise real estate (buying property) mutual fund Which of the three investment alternatives is the best for you? Explain the reasons for your choice.
Answer:
Buying a franchise: For me, this is the riskiest investment, because the success of the business depends on the product or service it sells. If there is no demand for the product or service, the business will go under. This investment is also highly illiquid—in addition, finding someone willing to buy a business is difficult.
Mutual fund: This is the least risky of the three investment options. It is highly liquid compared to buying a franchise or real estate. Mutual fund investors can easily cash in their investments by selling the units they hold in a fund at the current market price.
Real estate: Real estate is a risky investment. First, property prices can fall in a depressed housing market. Second, real estate properties are illiquid. They can’t be sold quickly for a good price, especially in times of recession in the housing market or in the overall economy.
A mutual fund is the best of the three investment options for me, for the following reasons:
I can invest small amounts of money regularly and get higher returns on the investment than I would from a savings account. Also, this is a highly liquid investment. In case of a financial emergency, I can quickly sell my mutual fund units at their current market price.
Real estate is currently both a risky and illiquid investment, because of poor market conditions.
Buying a franchise is not a good option for me, because I don’t plan to go into business. In any case, I don’t have the money to make this investment.

4. After making a visual inspection, buyer bought property from seller and proceeded to build a home. When the possibility of soil slippage soon became apparent, construction was halted. Buyer sued seller to rescind the sale. Soil expert testified that the property was not suitable for the construction of a residence. Seller was unaware of the stability hazard of the soil when the sale was transacted. Could buyer rescind
Answer:
The buyer could not rescind the contract.
Since there was no deceit on the part of the seller, the buyer should have taken reasonable care, according to the doctrine of caveat emptor, before concluding the contract. This would have forced him to undertake a soil test to determine its suitability.
Some questions to ask the buyer are: did he communicate with the seller about the suitability of the property for a residential house?
Can the buyer prove that he was reasonably induced to make the contract because it was difficult to discover the unsuitability? This is not the case.
Was the buyer induced by the seller's assurances of no defects? The seller was not aware of the stability hazard of the soil, so he could not have assured the buyer of no defects.
Did the buyer discover the defects within a reasonable time? This was not likely.
Explanation:
Under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, for a buyer to revoke or rescind, "he must show (1) the goods failed to conform to the contract and (2) it substantially impaired the value of the goods (this is a question of fact). "
The buyer can rescind the contract if he can show he accepted the property knowing that the seller would cure it and this did not happen.

Which of the following is correct with respect to Debt Service Funds?
A. Debt service funds report the balance of governmental debts except debt of proprietary and fiduciary funds.
B. Debt service funds account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for principle and interest for all governmental long-term debt.
C. Debt service funds account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for principle and interest for governmental debts except debt of proprietary and fiduciary funds who account for their own interest and principle payments.
D. Debt service funds must accrue interest on long-term debt at year end.
Answer:
C. Debt service funds account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for principle and interest for governmental debts except debt of proprietary and fiduciary funds who account for their own interest and principle payments.
Explanation:
Debt service funds are used to pay for principal and interest on certain types of debts. This reduced the risk of debt security that investors face and also reduces the effective rate at which the offering can be sold.
However debt service funds cannot be used for proprietary funds like 400 and 500.
Instead we use Enterprise funds for 400. That is operations similar to corporate enterprise. For example water and sewage utilities.
Internal service funds for 500 used by other funds or departments bin a government in a cost reimbursement basis. For example a food supplier that takes orders and is reimbursed for each order.
Answer:
C. Debt service funds account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for principle and interest for governmental debts except debt of proprietary and fiduciary funds who account for their own interest and principle payments.
Explanation:
Under the Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB); Code 200 states that debt service funds are to be used to service terms and bond reserves, guaranty, warrants, note, capital leases, or sinking funds.
Debt service funds is a cash reserve that is used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for principle and interest for governmental debts except debt of proprietary and fiduciary funds who account for their own interest and principle payments.
The purpose of using a debt service fund is to reduce the risk of a debt security for investors, thereby making it more attractive and appealing to them. Also, the debt service fund helps to mitigate the effective interest rate needed by the government to sell the offering.
The other types of governmental funds are namely;
- Capital projects funds.
- Permanent funds.
- General funds.
- Special revenue funds.

Answer and Explanation:
The formula and the computation is shown below:
a. Total Assets = Total Liabilities and Owners’ Equity
Total Assets = $55,650
b. Total Assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Land
$55,650 = Cash + $8,600 + $16,500
Cash = $55,650 - $8,600 - $16,500
= $30,550
c. Increase in Owners’ Equity = Rob Elliot Capital on 31 December - Rob Elliot, Capital on 31 December
= $38,000 - $0
= $38,000
d. Increase in Owners’ Equity = Additional Investment during December + Net Income - Rob Elliot Drawing
= $38,000 = $35,000 + Net income - $5,750
Net income = $8,750
e. Net Income = Fees Earned - Total Expenses
$8,750 = $26,750 - Total expenses
Total expenses = $26,750 - $8,750
= $18,000
f. Total Expenses = Rent Expense + Supplies Expense + Utilities Expense + Wages Expense + Miscellaneous Expense
$18,000 = $6,400 + Supplies Expense + $4,650 + $1,265 + $460
Supplies expenses = $18,000 - $12,775
= $5,225
g. Total Liabilities and Owners’ Equity = Total Liabilities + Total Owners’ Equity
$55,650 = Total Liabilities + $38,000
Total liabilities = $17,000
Total Liabilities = Accounts Payable
Accounts Payable = $17,000
Amount owed to Creditors = Accounts Payable
Amount owed to Creditors = $17,000

Answer:
the Tragedy of the Commons
Explanation:
A lot of people still fail to consider our environment as part of ourselves and where we live. They choose to believe that pollution is not that serious because they do not see it or are not affected by it. But our world is one big house where we all live. The burning of the Amazon rain forests affects us all, the same as car pollution affects the whole world, even if you do not feel the negative effects right away. Since people do not see the bad consequences of pollution, they will continue to pollute until it is too late. Most people place their individual needs ahead of the collective needs of society and our environment.
A machine that produces a certain piece must be turned off by the operator after each piece is completed. The machine "coasts" for 15 seconds after it is turned off, thus preventing the operator from removing the piece quickly before producing the next piece. An engineer has suggested installing a brake that would reduce the coasting time to 3 seconds.
The machine produces 50,000 pieces a year. The time to produce one piece is 1 minute 45 seconds, excluding coastint time. The operator earns $10 an hour and other direct costs for operating the machine are $5 an hour. The brake will require servicing every 589 hours of operation. It will take the operator 30 minutes to perform the necessary maintenance and will require $48 in parts and material. The brake is expected to last 7,500 hours of operation (with proper maintenance) and will have no salvage value.How much could be spent for the brake if the Minimum Attractive Rate of Return is 10% compounded annually?
Answer:
$9197.72
Explanation:
To find the amount to be spent for the brake if the Minimum Attractive Rate of Return is 10% compounded annually, we have the following:
Cost incurred without the brake = Number of pieces * (Number of minutes for producing one product / total number of minute in an hour) * cost per peice
Where,
Number of minutes for producing a product without the brake system =
105 seconds(1 min, 45 sec) + 15 seconds(coast time) = 2 minutes or 120 seconds
Thus,
Cost incurred without break is =
[tex]50,000* \frac{2}{60}* (10 + 5) = 25,000 [/tex]
Let's find the number of minutes for installing a break
= 105 + 3 seconds = 108 seconds = 1.8 minutes
Cost incurred with break =
[tex] 50,000 * \frac{1.8}{60} * (10 + 5) = $ 22,500 [/tex]
To find the maintainence cost, let's consider parts & material cost and labor cost for operator
[tex] (\frac{50000 * \frac{1.8}{60}}{589}) * (\frac{30}{60} * (10+48)) = 73.85 [/tex]
No. of years the brake will last
[tex] = \frac{\frac{7500}{50000}}{1.8/60} = 5 years [/tex]
The maximum amount that can be spent on brake will be the difference in cost incurred with brake and without brake * present value of annuity factor of 5 years at 10%
= (25,000 - 22,573.85)*PVAF, 10% for 5 years = $9197.72
$9198 (rounded off)
The the amount to be spent for the brake if the Minimum Attractive Rate of Return is 10% compounded annually is $9197.72
The market price of a security is $50. Its expected rate of return is 14%. The risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 8.5%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity
Answer:
The market price of the security is $31.81
Explanation:
In order to calculate the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles we would have to calculate first the following:
First, calculate the dividend expected after one year with the following formula:
D=P*E(ri)
D=$50*0.14
D=$7
Next, we would have to calculate the beta of the security using the CAAPM Equation:
βi= E(ri)-rf/E(rm)-rf
=0.14-0.06/0.085
=0.9412
Next, we have to calculate the new beta due to the change in the correlation coefficient with the following formula:
β=correlation coefficient/σm*σs
=2*0.941
=1.882
Next, Calculate the new expected return as follows:
E(ri)=rf+βi(E(rm)-rf)
=0.06+(1.882)(0.085)
=0.22
Finally we calculate the new piece of the security as follows:
P=D/E(ri)
=$7/0.22
=$31.81
The market price of the security is $31.81

Performance appraisal is a formal systematic process combining both written and oral elements for reviewing and evaluation of individuals or a team's task performance in an organization. It helps employers to understand the abilities of their employees for further growth, training and development. One of such tool for performance appraisal is
Behavioral observation scales (BOS) is a performance appraisal method in which various performance levels are shown along a scale that incorporates only positive performance behaviors.
This simply means, BOS is focused on using one or more scales to gauge the frequency with which a staff has performed positively, effectively and efficiently in the job.
Hence, Behavioral observation scales (BOS) are goal-orientated process helps an employer to maximize the productivity of his or her employees, team members and by extension the organization.
At December 31, 2015, Albrecht Corporation had outstanding 368,000 shares of common stock and 6,000 shares of 9.5%, $100 par value cumulative, nonconvertible preferred stock. On May 31, 2016, Albrecht sold for cash 12,000 shares of its common stock. No cash dividends were declared for 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Albrecht reported a net loss of $1,743,000.
Calculate Albrecht's net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Answer:
Net loss per share is -$4.80
Explanation:
The net loss per share is the total loss in the year divided by the weighted average number of common stock in the year.
Total net loss=net loss-preferred stock dividend
preferred stock dividend=$100*6,000*9.5%=$ 57,000.00
total net loss=-$1,743,000-$57,000=-$1,800,000
weighted average number of common stock=368,000*5/12+(368,000+12,000)*7/12=375,000 shares
net loss per share=-$1,800,000/375,000=-$4.80

Explanation:
We have learned about four types of adjustments: (1) prepaid expenses, (2) unearned revenues, (3) accrued revenues, and (4) accrued expenses. With those concepts in mind, review the following scenario, As the book-keeper for your company you are required to create quarterly financial statements (Income Statement, Statement of Owner's Equity Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows) in order to report on the financial activities of the company for the quarter (three months). It is now March 29th, and in preparation for creating the 1st quarter's financial statements (as of 3/31), you have called a meeting with the Dept. Managers for Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable to confirm deadlines that have to be met for recording March-related transactions. As the meeting starts the owner walks in - she sits quietly as you explain the deadlines, but as soon as you have finished she says "Well, for this quarter, if we have not paid March invoices by March 31, there is no need to record them in March. We can record/expense those invoices when we pay them in April or May." Required:
1. Do you agree with the owner, or, do you feel that an adjusting entry is necessary in the situation described? If so - which type of adjusting entry is needed?
2. Why is the adjustment necessary? (Refer to concepts in the chapter) In your post:
a) discuss the impact (understated or overstated) on the accounts affected if the adjustment is not made, and
b) explain how the adjustment affects the appropriate financial statements
3, Assume one of the unpaid invoices is for $2,000 in Advertising. Show the type of adjusting entry you would create.
Answer:
1. Do you agree with the owner, or, do you feel that an adjusting entry is necessary in the situation described? If so - which type of adjusting entry is needed?
She is wrong, because the accrual principle states that both revenues and expenses must be recognized during the periods that they actually occur, not when they are collected or paid for.2. Why is the adjustment necessary? (Refer to concepts in the chapter) In your post:
If you do not record accrued expenses, then you are understating first quarter expenses and overstating second quarter expenses.a) discuss the impact (understated or overstated) on the accounts affected if the adjustment is not made, and
March invoices represent costs and expenses associated to the activities carried out during March, and not recording them properly will result in net income being over stated during March (first quarter)and under stated during the second quarter.b) explain how the adjustment affects the appropriate financial statements
First quarter's net income will be over stated while second quarter's net income will be under stated.3, Assume one of the unpaid invoices is for $2,000 in Advertising. Show the type of adjusting entry you would create.

Explanation:
The income statement for the Sage Hill Inc. for the month ended July 31 shows Service Revenue $17,470, Salaries and Wages Expense $8,870, Maintenance and Repairs Expense $3,370, and Income Tax Expense $1,470. The statement of retained earnings shows an opening balance for Retained Earnings of $20,520 and Dividends $1,760.
Prepare closing journal entries.
Answer along with its Explanation:
The profit for the year is calculated as under:
Profit for the year = Revenue - Salaries and Wages - Maintenance and Repairs Expense - Income Tax Expense
Profit for the year = $17,470 - $8,870 - $3,370 - $1,470 = $3,760
Now the entry would be to close the expense and income accounts for the year and carry forward the difference (Profit for the year) to retained earnings.
The entry would be as under:
Dr Service Revenue $17,470
Cr Salaries and Wages Expense $8,870
Cr Maintenance and Repairs Expense $3,370
Cr Income Tax Expense $1,470
Cr Retained Earnings (Balancing figure) $3,760
The recording of the dividends (A decrease in Capital) would be decrease in the retained earnings which is given as under:
Dr Dividends $1,760
Cr Cash Balance $1,760
The waiving off this amount will be by debiting the retained earnings and crediting dividends paid.
Dr Retained Earnings $1,760
Cr Dividends $1,760
A noncancelable lease contains an option to purchase a leased asset at a price that is sufficiently lower than the asset's expected fair value so that the exercise of the option appears reasonably certain. The fair value of the asset exceeds the lessor's cost of the asset. Therefore, the lease will be accounted for by the lessor as a(n):________ a) Guaranteed lease. b) Financing lease. c) Operating lease. d) Sales-type lease.
Answer:
d) Sales-type lease.
Explanation:
A bargain purchase option is a non-cancelable lease that contains an option to purchase a leased asset at a price that is sufficiently lower than the asset's expected fair value so that the exercise of the option appears reasonably certain.
Hence, the fair value of the asset exceeds the lessor's cost of the asset. Therefore, the lease will be accounted for by the lessor as Sales-type lease.
A Sales-type lease is a type of capital lease that doesn't meet the criteria to be classified as operating and the lessor makes both interest income and a loss or profit on the transaction, thus causing the fair market value of the leased asset to exceed the lessor's cost to purchase the leased asset.
Additionally, in a sales-type lease, the lessor should ensure net investment, impairment, variable lease payment, interest income are accounted for before the commencement date of the lease.
Suppose that you are a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The economy is experiencing a sharp and prolonged inflationary trend. What changes in (a) the reserve ratio, (b) the discount rate, and (c) open-market operations would you recommend? Explain in each case how the change you advocate would affect commercial bank reserves, the money supply, interest rates, and aggregate demand. g
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Assuming an economy is experiencing a sharp and prolonged inflationary trend, I'll recommend the following changes:
a. Reserve ratio: I will increase the reserve ratio.
b. Discount rate: I will increase the discount rate.
c. Open market operations: I will recommend tightening the money supply through the selling of more government bonds.
2a. The reserve requirement is the central bank regulation which sets the minimum amount of reserves which must be held by a commercial bank. An increase in the reserve ratio will lead to less money in circulation.
b. the money supply: Thhe money supply will contract i.e tighten
c. Interest rates: Interest rates will rise leading to an increase in the investments which keeps money out of circulation and also lead to a decrease in inflation rates.
d. Aggregate demand. Aggregate demand would reduce, and this would lead to a reduction in inflation.

Projected total assets= $______
Projected retained earnings= $______
Additional new debt required= $______
Answer:
Projected total assets = $10,318
Projected retained earnings = $4,675.30
Additional new debt required = $537.70
Explanation:
external financing needed = EFN = [(total assets/total sales) x ($ Δ sales)] - [(total current liabilities/total sales) x ($ Δ sales)] - [profit margin x forecasted sales in $ x (1 - dividend payout ratio)]
total assets = $9,380, projected total assets = $9,380 x 1.1 = $10,318
total sales = $7,800
$ Δ sales = $780
current liabilities = $1,550
profit margin = net income / sales = $410 / $7,800 = 0.052564
forecasted sales = $7,800 x 1.1 = $8,580
dividends payout ratio = dividends / net income = $187 / $410 = 0.4561
EFN = [($9,380/$7,800) x ($780)] - [($1,550/$7,800) x ($780)] - [0.052564 x $8,580 x (1 - 0.4561)]
EFN = $938 - $155 - $245.30 = $537.70
projected retained earnings = current retained earnings - projected net income - projected dividends = $4,430 + $451 - $205.70 = $4,675.30
