Answer: c) a line with slope - 0:5.
Explanation:
The final exam weights twice as much as the midterm.
Denote that by assuming that the final exam is Y and the midterms is X.
This would mean that the Course grade is,
= 2y + x
Since the Course grade is all the student cares about then that means that her Utility is the same.
U = 2y + x
If we were to draw an indifference curve based on a utility level of hers say for instance c, we would denote it as,
c = 2y + x
The equation of a line takes the form,
y = mx + c with m being the slope.
Denoting the indifference curve in this manner would therefore be,
c = 2y + x
c/2 = y + x/2
c/2 - x/2 = y
y = -x/2 + c/2
y = -½x + c/2
The slope will therefore be -½.

The effects of inflation Suppose Friendly Airlines is considering signing a long-term contract with the union representing its pilots. Friendly Airlines and the union both agree that real wages should increase by 2%. Inflation is expected to be 3%, so they agree on a 5% nominal wage increase.
Now, suppose inflation turns out to be lower than expected, coming in at 2%. This would_______ the union and______ Friendly Airlines because the real wage increase would now be______ .
Because of uncertainty about future inflation, the union devotes a large quantity of resources to monitoring inflation indicators in order to maximize its financial position. This illustrates the fact that:______
A. Inflation harms lenders and helps borrowers
B. Variable inflation is associated with high transaction costs
C. Inflation obscures relative price changes
Answer:
The lower than expected inflation would benefit the union and not benefit Friendly Airlines.
B. Variable inflation is associated with high transaction costs
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels.
It was expected that inflation would increase by 3% and because of that expectation, wages were increased by 5%.
As it turns out, inflation only increased by 2%. If employers were aware that inflation would increase by only 2%, the increase in income would have been 4%.
As a result of this, the company ends up paying more to workers and workers and up earning more. So, the union benefits while the airline is at a disadvantage.
Because of the uncertainty of inflation, the union dedicates high amount of resources to monitor its movements. This shows that there is a high cost associated with the uncertainty of inflation.

As a student in the Principles of Management class of Ama Ghana University, you are expected to have experiential knowledge so that you can be able to solve real life business problems after graduation. To achieve this objective, the 2020 class has been divided into ten groups; and each team works in a management capacity with ten management consulting companies in the Greater Accra Region. San Consulting - the firm that your group works with is a project management company that is into Real Estate construction and management consulting. This firm which has twenty years’ experience in this business is the first choice for all individuals and companies that want quality service. You have on the contrary, observed that many of the management practices have not developed precipitously as situations in the business environment warrant. The accountant confirmed this by saying in the last general meeting that a certain percentage of San’s profit margin is being lost because of this situation. She gave the example that the surveying department spent eight labor hours generating data that had been generated two weeks ago by another unit. Due to the fact that the surveying department did not know that the data had already been created, a substantial effort was wasted and this has been a recurrent problem. In addition, the increase in demand of the services of San’s Consulting has placed significant pressures on the five managers whose duties are not clearly defined. For instance, you have observed that any of these managers perform duties in the operations department as well as any other unit within the firm. They are not able to perform all the functions required of them due to the ineffectiveness of the organizational structure. You and the members of your group are expected to write a report to the top-level management team regarding your analysis of the situation in the firm.
1. Explain which of the four main management functions is/are not operating as it/they should within the firm? 3 Marks
2. What recommendations will you make in your report that will help assure that this situation or similar one would not happen again? 4 Marks
3. Assume that the top-level management team has accepted your recommendations, how can their effectiveness be evaluated three months after implementation? 4 Marks
4. Discuss the organizational structure currently used by San’s Consulting and would you recommend the continuous use of this structure? If yes or no, present the factors (4) that influenced your decision regarding the right organizational structure for San’s Consulting. 5 Marks
5. Identify and discuss the main problems that the firm is likely to experience (i) if the current structure is continued or (ii) if a new structure is implemented. 5 Marks
Answer:
The organization structure is not clearly defined, Managers are performing duties in various departments at a time.
Explanation:
San Consulting is one of the finest consulting firm in the Greater Accra Region. The firm is always a first choice for individuals who want to pursue their career in business. The Organizational structure of San Consulting is not clearly defined. San's profits are falling because management practices are not according to the other competitive organizations. The managers working at San are facing excess workload and pressure for their work. Their job descriptions is not clearly defined and they are forced to work in multiple departments at the same time due to which they are losing focus on their own work.
Questions 1: Planning, organizing, leading and controlling
Question 2: The organizational structure needs to be set and every employee should have their defined job role so they are able to complete work with efficiency.
Question 3: The profits of San consulting will rise as there will be less duplication of work and every employee will be able to focus on their own task and will work with efficiency.
Question 4: Matrix. The matrix organizational structure is not suited in this organization. The right organizational structure for San consulting will be Functional Structure.
Question 5: (i) The profits for San Consulting will decline
(ii) The profit will rise because employee will focus more on their specific tasks.
1B. Yes agree. The managers need to focus on the external environment as well to identify the opportunities and threats present which can stimulate changes for the organization.
Suppose you have a choice of two equally risky annuities, each paying $1,000 per year for 20 years with similar interest rates. One is an annuity due, while the other is an ordinary annuity. Which annuity would you choose
Answer:
Annuity due would be be chosen.
Explanation:
Let us assume the similar annual interest rate is 10%.
To decide which to choose, the present values of the two annuities are calculated and compared as follows:
1. For annuity due
Under an annuity due, payments are made to investors at the beginning of each time period. The present value of an annuity due can be calculated as follows:
PVd = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] × (1+r) .................. (1)
Where;
PVd = Present value of an annuity due = ?
P = Annual payment = $1,000
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 20
Substituting the values into equation (1) above, we have:
PVd = $1,000 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.10)]^20} ÷ 0.10] × (1 + 0.10) = $9,364.92
2. For ordinary annuity
Under an ordinary annuity, payments are made to investors at the end of each time period. The present value of an ordinary annuity can be calculated as follows:
PVd = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] .................. (2)
Where
PVo = Present value of an ordinary annuity = ?
P = Annual payment = $1,000
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 20
Substituting the values into equation (1) above, we have:
PVo = $1,000 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.10)]^20} ÷ 0.10] = $8,513.56
3. Decision
Since the present value (PV) of the annuity due of $9,364.92 is greater than the PV of ordinary annuity of $8,513.56, annuity due would be be chosen.

Explanation:
a) Trading securities are a category of securities that include both debt securities and equity securities. An entity holds them with the intention to sell in the short-term for a profit that arises from increases in the prices of the securities.
b) Fair value is an asset's selling price, which is freely agreed upon between a willing and knowledgeable buyer and seller. But, for Debt Securities, it represents the market value of the investments at any point in time when financial statements are being prepared. Investments that are held for trading purposes are required to be accounted for, using the fair value method. This implies that the gains and losses, both realized and unrealized must be accounted for whenever financial statements are bing prepared or when the investment is disposed of.

Concord Corporation issued 113,000 shares of $19 par value, cumulative, 7% preferred stock on January 1, 2019, for $2,630,000. In December 2021, Concord declared its first dividend of $720,000. (a) Prepare Concord’s journal entry to record the issuance of the preferred stock.
Answer:
(a)
Dr. Cash $2,630,000
Cr. Preferred Stock $2,147,000
Cr. Add-in-Capital excess of par preferred stock $483,000
Explanation:
Preferred stockholders has an advantage that they are paid first when there is any dividend is announced. The residual dividend will be divided into the common stockholders. Any prior years due dividend and current years dividend associated with preferred share will be paid first.
Par value = 113,000 x 19 = $2,147,000
Excess of par value = $2,630,000 - $2,147,000 = $483,000
Question Suppose you have $200,000 in a bank term account. You earn 5% interest per annum from this account. You anticipate that the inflation rate will be 4% during the year. However, the actual inflation rate for the year is 6%. Calculate the impact of inflation on the bank term deposit.
Answer:
Deposited amount will decrease by 1% and $2,000
Explanation:
Inflation rate will effect the value of money due to decrease in purchasing power of the currency holder.
We will use following formula to calculate the impact
Nominal rate = Real interest rate + Inflation rate
5% = Real interest rate + 6%
Real interest rate = 5% - 6% = -1%
The deposited amount will be decreased by 1%.
Deposit value = $200,000 x ( 1 - 1% ) = $198,000
Decrease in value = $200,000 - $198,000 = $2,000
At the end of the current year, $22,650 of fees have been earned but have not been billed to clients. Required: A. Journalize the adjusting entry to record the accrued fees on December 31. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles. B. If the cash basis rather than the accrual basis had been used, would an adjusting entry have been necessary?
Answer:
A. Adjusting Journal Entries:
Dec. 31, 2019:
Debit Accounts Receivable $22,650
Credit Service Fee Revenue $22,650
To record fees earned, but not yet billed to clients.
B. No. If the cash basis rather than the accrual basis had been used, an adjusting entry would not have been necessary.
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are only required to align the cash-basis accounting records to the accrual basis. Adjustments are made for prepayments of expenses, unpaid expenses, deferred revenue, unearned earned and earned revenue, and depreciation charges. For an entity operating on a cash basis, adjusting entries are not required.
Adjusting entries ensure that accounting records comply with the accrual concept and matching principle of generally accepted account practises. The requirement under this concept with the matching principle is to accrue and match expenses and revenue to the related revenue and expenses and period.

Explanation:
When the contract was formed and advance was received the company must had recorded the following entry:
Dr Cash Account $5000
Cr Unearned Revenue $5000
Now it is the year end and till now the goods are not delivered which means advance that was received is still our unearned revenue So no further entry is required until the delivery of the goods ordered to the customer.
Correct entry is "No adjusting entry required"
Most international business messages tend to be written in an informal, conversational manner. should be written following generally accepted principles for writing American business letters. use active-voice constructions. should conform to the conventions of the receiver's country.
Answer:
should conform to the conventions of the receiver's country
Explanation:
The more an international business adapts its operations to the specific culture of the countries where it operates, the more likely it is that it will succeed, since customers are very sensitive to their own culture, and lacking this understanding can result in ineffective communication, and less sales.
For this reason, interantional business messages should conform to the conventions of the receiver's country: like this, people in the receiver country will not only understand the message clearly, but will also feel identified with it, raising their level of trust in the company.
Frank purchased land containing oil reserves for $425,000. He has calculated his cost depletion for the year to be $20 per barrel for a total of $120,000 in depletion expense. He now needs to calculate his percentage depletion in case it is larger. His gross income from the oil extraction is $600,000 and he has $520,000 in operating expenses before depletion expense. Assuming this is domestic production, the amount of percentage depletion expense is $______1 of 3. If he uses this method he can deduct $________2 of 3 for tax purposes. He should use the______3 of 3 depletion method to maximize his deduction.
Answer:
1 of 3. $52,000
2 of 3. $68,000
3 of 3 Percentage depletion
Explanation:
The percentage depletion rate = 15% of gross income and limited to 65% of the net income
The gross income = $600,000
The operating expense = $520,000
The net income = $600,000 - $520,000 = $80,000
Therefore at 15% gross income, we have;
Percentage depletion rate = $600,000 × 0.15 = $90,000
65% of the net income gives;
$80,000 × 0.65 = $52,000
1 of 3. Therefore since 15% of the gross income ($90,000) > 65% of the net income($52,000), we have
The percentage depletion rate = $52,000
2 of 3. Therefore, he can deduct $120,000 - $52,000 = $68,000
3 of 3 He should therefore use the percentage depletion method to maximize his deductions
We therefore have;
Assuming this is domestic production, the amount of percentage depletion expense is _$52,000_. If he uses this method he can deduct _$68,000_ for tax purposes. He should use the _percentage depletion_ method to maximize his deductions.
On July 1, 2022, Blossom Company sells equipment for $119000. The equipment originally cost $330000, had an estimated 5-year life and an expected salvage value of $50000. The Accumulated Depreciation account had a balance of $196000 on January 1, 2022, using the straight-line method. The gain or loss on disposal is
Answer:
Gain= $13,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $119,000.
The equipment originally cost $330000, had an estimated 5-year life, and an expected salvage value of $50000.
The Accumulated Depreciation account had a balance of $196000.
First, we need to calculate the accumulated depreciation on July 1, 2022.
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (330,000 - 50,000)/5= $56,000
Depreciation for 2022= (56,000/12)*6= 28,000
Accumulated depreciation= 196,000 + 28,000= $224,000
The gain or loss is determined using the book value:
Book value= 330,000 - 224,000= 106,000
Gain/loss= selling price - book value
Gain/loss= 119,000 - 106,000
Gain= $13,000

You are thinking about renting a room in a house next year with three of your friends. For each month’s rent, you are willing to pay $480, your first friend is willing to pay $450, your second friend is willing to pay $560, and your third friend is willing to pay $510. The landlord agrees to offer each of you separate leases but will charge you all the same price: $450.You decide this is a good deal, so you and your friends move in. A couple of months later, you learn from someone who knows the landlord that he would have been willing to rent each room for $400 per month.Part 1:What is the amount of producer surplus per month?PART 2:What is the amount of total consumer surplus per month?PART3:What is the amount of total surplus each month?
Answer:
$200
$200
$400
Explanation:
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a product and the least price the seller is willing to sell his product.
Producer surplus = price of the product - least price the producer is willing to sell his product
$450 - $400 = $50
Because there are four people , $50 × 4 = $200
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the product.
My consumer surplus = $480 - $450 = $30
Ist friend = $450 - $450 = 0
2nd friend = $560 - $450 = $110
3rd friend = $510 - $450 = $60
Total surplus = $30 + $110 + $60 = $200
Total surplus is the sum of producer and consumer surplus.
$200 + $200 = $400

c. Debit Salaries Expense and credit Salaries Payable for $12,000.
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Salaries Expense $12,000
Salaries Payable $12,000
(Being salaries expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the salaries expense as it increased the expense and credited the salary payable as it also increased the liabilities
According to the accrual basis of accounting, the expenses is recorded when they are incurred
So only $12,000 would be considered
Which of the following sentences use apostrophes correctly? 1. We used to back up our account files weekly and save them onto CD’s. 2 .The financial planner’s e-mail address was listed on his website. 3. Him recording's every conversation made his coworkers suspicious. 4. Making certain that all the timecards were submitted on time was Lorice’s responsibility.
Answer:
2. The financial planner’s e-mail address was listed on his website.
4. Making certain that all the timecards were submitted on time was Lorice’s responsibility.
Explanation:
The apostrophe (') is a punctuation mark used in English language to form possessive nouns, mark the omission of one or more letters and to indicate the plurals of letters in lowercases.
For example, forming a possessive noun; add an Apostrophe (') with the letter "s" i.e ('s) to nouns that don't end with "s" sound. Also, you can add only an Apostrophe (') without the letter "s" to nouns that ends with "s" sound.
For instance, the financial planner’s e-mail address was listed on his website, the writer's pen, the cat's eyeballs etc.
To indicate the omission of a letter (contraction), such as isn't, don't they're, I've, you're, doesn't, you've, they'd etc.
Replace Equipment A machine with a book value of $80,000 has an estimated five-year life. A proposal is offered to sell the old machine for $50,500 and replace it with a new machine at a cost of $75,000. The new machine has a five-year life with no residual value. The new machine would reduce annual direct labor costs from $11,200 to $7,400. a. Prepare a differential analysis dated April 11 on whether to continue with the old machine (Alternative 1) or replace the old machine (Alternative 2). If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use a minus sign to indicate subtracted or negative numbers or a loss. Differential Analysis Continue with Old Machine (Alt. 1) or Replace Old Machine (Alt. 2) April 11 Continue with Old Machine (Alternative 1) Replace Old Machine (Alternative 2) Differential Effect on Income (Alternative 2) Revenues: Proceeds from sale of old machine $ $ $ Costs: Purchase price Direct labor (5 years) Income (Loss) $ $ $ b. Should the company continue with the old machine (Alternative 1) or replace the old machine (Alternative 2)
Answer:
Replace Equipment:
1. Differential Analysis:
i) Continue with Old Machine (Alt. 1):
Cost of old machine $80,000 $0
Direct labor (5 years) -$56,000
Income (Loss) ($56,000)
ii) Replace Old Machine (Alt. 2)
Differential Effect on Income (Alternative 2)
Proceeds from sale of old machine $50,500
Purchase price for new equipment -$75,000
Direct labor (5 years) -$37,000
Income (Loss) ($61,500)
b. Should the company continue with the old machine (Alternative 1) or replace the old machine (Alternative 2):
The company should continue with the old machine. Taking Alternative 2 would cost the company $5,500 more than Alternative 1.
Explanation:
Differential analysis or incremental analysis is a management accounting technique which assesses the changes in revenues, costs, and profits that result from a business decision.
Differential cost is the difference in total costs between two acceptable alternative courses of action. Differential revenue is the difference in sales that will be generated by two different courses of action.
In differential analysis, sunk (past) cost is not relevant for decision making. This is why the book value of $80,000 is not considered in the decision of which alternative to take.
The total wage expense for Grande Co. was $ 156 comma 000. Of this total, $ 32 comma 000 was above the OASDI wage base limit and not subject to this tax. All earnings are subject to Medicare taxes, and $ 58 comma 000 was above the federal and state unemployment wage base limits and not subject to unemployment taxes. Please calculate and journalize the total payroll tax expense for Grande Co. given the following rates and wage base limits:
Answer:
Dr FICA OASDI (Social Security) tax expense $7,688
Dr FICA Medicare tax expense $2,262
Dr FUTA tax expense $588
Dr SUTA tax expense $5,586
Cr FICA OASDI (Social Security) tax payable $7,688
Cr FICA Medicare tax payable $2,262
Cr FUTA tax payable $588
Cr SUTA tax payable $5,586
Explanation:
Federal unemployment tax 0.6% = ($156,000 - $58,000) x 0.6% = $588
State unemployment tax 5.7% = ($156,000 - $58,000) x 5.7% = $5,586
OASDI 6.2% = ($156,000 - $32,000) x 6.2% = $7,688
Medicare 1.45% = $156,000 x 1.45% = $2,262

Consider an economy that produces only two goods: fresh apricots and dried apricots. In this economy, the technology of producing dried apricots is to place fresh apricots on special racks and allow them to dry in the sun. Fannie's Farms is the only company that grows fresh apricots, while Darryl's Dried Victuals is the only producer of dried apricots. Fannie's sells some of its apricots directly to consumers for consumption. The relevant revenue and cost information for each of the two firms in the economy is given below: Darryl's Dried Victuals Revenue from selling dried apricots: Cost of buying fresh apricots from Fannie's: Interest on funds borrowed to buy drying racks: Wages paid to employees Taxes $2,750,000 1,800,000 200,000 550,000 90,000 Fannie's Farms Revenue from selling fresh apricots: Rent on land (including apricot trees) Wages to employees Taxes $2,350,000 400,000 1,100,000 180,000 Darryl's profit from selling dried apricots is:_________.A) $5,390,000 B) $110,000 C) None of these are correct D) $150,000 E) $670,000
Answer:
$110,000
Explanation:
Profit = Total revenue - Total cost
Total revenue = $2,750,000
Total cost = cost of purchase + interest + wages + taxes
= $1,800,000+$200,000+ 550,000 + 90,000 = $2,640,000
Profit = $2,750,000 - $2,640,000 = $110,000

Kathy is a financial analyst in BTR Warehousing’s. As part of her analysis of the annual distribution policy and its impact on the firm’s value, she makes the following calculations and observations:
• The company generated a free cash flow (FCF) of $87.00 million in its most recent fiscal year.
• The firm’s cost of capital (WACC) is 13%. The firm has been growing at 10% for the past six years but is expected to grow at a constant rate of 8% in the future.
• The firm has 21.75 million shares outstanding.
• The company has $232.00 million in debt and $145.00 million in preferred stock.
Along with the rest of the finance team, Kathy has been part of board meetings and knows that the company is planning to distribute $120.00 million, which is invested in short-term investments, to its shareholders by buying back stock from its shareholders. Kathy also observed that, at this point, apart from the $120.00 million in short-term investments, the firm has no other nonoperating assets.
Using results from Kathy's calculations and observations, solve for the values in the following tables.
1. Value of the firm's operations.
a. 6,833.33
b.1,366.67
c. 68.33
d.1,421.33

b. 1.95
c. 2.54
d. 3.32
5. Intrinsic value of equity immediately after the stock repurchase.
a. 888
b. 1306.67
c. 6773.33
d. 1038.67

Based on you understanding of stock repurchases, identify whether the following statement is true or false:
"The stock price of a firm increases after the firm repurchases some of its shares."
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below.
1. Value of the firm operations is
= Free Cash Flow × (1 + Growth Rate) ÷ (WACC - Growth Rate)
= $87 million × (1 + 8%) ÷ (13% - 8%)
= $1,879.20
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
2. The intrinsic value of equity immediately prior to stock repurchase is
= Value of Firm's Operations + Value of Non Operating Assets - Value of Debt - Value of Preferred Stock
= $1,879.20 + $120 - $232 - $145
= $1,622.20
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
3. The intrinsic stock price immediately prior to stock repurchase is
= Intrinsic Value of Equity Prior to Stock Repurchase ÷ Number of Outstanding Shares
= ($1,622.20) ÷ (21.75 million shares)
= $74.58
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
4. The number of shares repurchased is
= Cash Used for Repurchase ÷ Intrinsic stock price
= $120 ÷ $74.58
= 1.61
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
5. The intrinsic value of equity immediately after stock repurchase is
= Value of Firm's Operations - Value of Debt - Value of Preferred Stock
= $1,879.20 - $232 - $145
= $1,502.20
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
6. The intrinsic stock price immediately after stock repurchase is
= Intrinsic Value of Equity After Stock Repurchase ÷ Number of Outstanding Shares after Repurchase
= ($1,502.20) ÷ (21.75 million shares - 1.61 million shares)
= $74.59
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
This statement is false because if the stock price changes after a firm conducts its share repurchase, then there are arbitrage opportunities. Thus, the price of the stock remains the same after a repurchase
