Answer: Yes, because the ETF is worth more than his original investment
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the average inflation for next 20 years = 3.50%
Amount invested by John = $25,000
Then, the amount in 20 years after the adjustment of inflation will be:
= Amount invested (1+inflation rate)^n
= 25000(1+0.035)^20
= 25000(1.035)^20
= 25000 × 1.9898
= $49745
In this case, the answer is Yes due to the fact that the ETF is worth more than his original investment.

Contribution margin for the current year
= $315,000 ($3 per unit)
Contribution margin for the proposed year = $346,500
Fixed costs for the current year = $473,100
Break-even units = 157,700 units
Break-even sales dollars = $2,365,500
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales revenue = $1,575,000
Sales units = 105,000 units
Sales price per unit = $15 ($1,575,000/105,000)
Total Variable Fixed
Selling expenses = $250,000 $100,000 (40%) $150,000 (60%)
Direct materials $606,100 606,100
Direct labor $250,000 250,000
Administrative expenses $270,000 54,000 (20%) 216,000 (80%)
Manufacturing overhead $357,000 249,900 (70%) 107,100 (30%)
Total costs $1,733,100 $1,260,000 $473,100
Contribution margin for the current year = $315,000 ($1,575,000 - $1,260,000)
= $3 per unit
Unit sales = 115,500 (105,000 * 1.1)
Sales revenue = $1,732,500
Variable costs 1,386,000 ($15 - $3)
Contribution margin for the proposed year = $346,500 ($3 * 115,500)
Fixed costs for the current year = $473,100
Break-even units = $473,100/$3 = 157,700 units
Break-even sales dollars = $473,100/0.2 = $2,365,500
According to the growth accounting studies, if you lived in a country where illiteracy was high and 40% of the children left school early and did not complete their education what would probably be the results for that country
Answer: b. There would be both a human and economic loss.
Explanation:
Education is usually necessary for economic growth as educated human beings are better able to engage in higher income businesses and services and come up with or be able to use better technology that would serve to improve the economy of a country.
This is why developed countries have such high literacy rates and developing countries lag behind. Research has shown that most developed countries really saw growth only after they pursed a national policy aimed at improving literacy.

A company must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection. The company has 13,000 defective units that cost $5.50 per unit to manufacture. The units can be sold as is for $3.10 each, or they can be reworked for $4.70 each and then sold for the full price of $8.60 each. If the units are sold as is, the company will be able to build 13,000 replacement units at a cost of $5.50 each, and sell them at the full price of $8.60 each. What is the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units
Answer:
Selling as is ⇒ $40,300Reworking and then selling ⇒ $50,700Explanation:
Incremental income from selling the scrap as is:
= 13,000 units * 3.10
= $40,300
Incremental cost from reworking and then selling:
= Sale of reworked units - Cost of reworking units
= (8.60 * 13,000) - (4.70 * 13,000)
= 111,800 - 61,100
= $50,700

A government began 2013 with a budget deficit and a trade deficit. During the year, the government changed its policy and is now running a budget surplus. If all other factors hold constant, this change in policy will cause:
Answer:
the exchange rate and the trade deficit to decrease.
Explanation:
A deficit can be defined as an amount by which money, falls short of its expected or required value.
Generally, deficit in financial accounting is usually as a result of expense exceeding revenue or revenue falling below expenses at a specific period of time.
For instance, when liabilities exceeds assets or import exceeds export there would be a deficit in the financial account.
Generally, a deficit on the current account ultimately implies that the value of goods and services exported is lower than the value of goods and services being imported in a particular country.
In 2013, government began with a budget deficit and a trade deficit. During the year, the government changed its policy and is now running a budget surplus.
Hence, this change in policy will cause the exchange rate and the trade deficit to decrease if all other factors hold constant

Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently created a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following standards for the Maze toy:
Direct materials: 7 microns per toy at $0.33 per micron
Direct labor: 1.4 hours per toy at $6.70 per hour
During July, the company produced 5,000 Maze toys. The toy's production data for the month are as follows:
Direct materials: 70,000 microns were purchased at a cost of $0.29 per micron. 26,250 of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month.
Direct labor: 7,500 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $54,750.
Required:
a. Compute the following variance for july
b. The materials price and quantity variances
c. The labor rate and efficiency variances
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (0.33 - 0.29)*70,000
Direct material price variance= $2,800 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (5,000*7 - 43,750)*0.33
Direct material quantity variance= $2,887.5 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (6.7 - 7.3)*7,500
Direct labor rate variance= $4,500 unfavorable
Actual rate= 54,750 / 7,500= $7.3
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (5,000*1.4 - 7,500)*6.7
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $3,350 unfavorable
A manufacturer uses machine hours to assign overhead costs to products. Budgeted information for the next year follows. Budgeted factory overhead costs $ 669,600 Budgeted machine hours 7,200 Compute the plantwide overhead rate for the next year based on machine hours.
Answer: $93 per machine hour
Explanation:
The plantwide rate shows the cost per labor hour(machine hour in this case) for overhead incurred by the entire production plant.
Plantwide overhead rate based on machine hours:
= Budgeted factory overhead costs / Budgeted machine hours
= 669,600 / 7,200
= $93 per machine hour
A corporation issues for cash $1,000,000 of 8%, 20-year bonds, interest payable annually, at a time when the market rate of interest is 10%. The straight-line method is adopted for the amortization of bond discount or premium. Which of the following statements is true?
a. The amount of the annual interest expense is computed at 8% of the bond carrying amount at the beginning of the year.
b. The amount of the annual interest expense gradually decreases over the life of the bonds.
c. The amount of unamortized discount decreases from its balance at issuance date to a zero balance at maturity.
d. The amount of unamortized premium decreases from its balance at issuance date to a zero balance at maturity.
Answer:
d.The unamortized discount decreases from its balance at issuance date to a zero balance at maturity
Explanation:
The amount of annual interest is the carrying amount at the beginning of each year multiplied by the market rate of interest of 10%(not the discount rate of 8%)
Also, a bond whose market interest rate is higher than the coupon rate would be issued at a discount(not at a premium, let alone having an unamortized premium)
Your firm has $45.0 million invested in accounts receivable, which is 90 days of net revenues. If this value could be reduced to 50 days, what annual increase in income would your firm realize if the increase in cash could be invested at 7.5 percent
Solution :
Number of days = 90 days
Amount invested = $45 million
So the current earnings is [tex]$\$45 \text{ million } \times 1.075 \text{ in}\ \ 90 \text{ days}$[/tex]
The number of days is reduced to 50 days. So we can now make the same amount in just 50 days.
So the net increase is what we will make in the remaining [tex]40[/tex] days.
If in 50 days, we earn 0.075 return, then we can consider 50 days as [tex]t=1.[/tex]
Then the [tex]50[/tex] days = [tex]45 \times 0.075^1[/tex] return, and
[tex]40[/tex] days = [tex]45 \times (0.075)^{40/50}[/tex]
[tex]=45 \times (0.075)^{4/5}[/tex]
= [tex]\$ 5.66580371[/tex] million increase
= $ 5.7 million

On November 1, 2021, Vinfast Co. receives $3,600 cash from FPT Co. for consulting services to be provided evenly over the period November 1, 2021, to April 30, 2022—at which time Vinfast credited $3,600 to Unearned Consulting Fees. The adjusting entry on December 31, 2021 would include a
a. Debit to Unearned Consulting Fees for $1,200
b. Debit to Unearned Consulting Fees for $2,400.
c. Credit to Consulting Fees Earned for $2,400.
d. Debit to Consulting Fees Earned for $1,200.
Answer: A. Debit to Unearned Consulting Fees for $1,200
Explanation:
Following the information given in the question, Vinfast Co. receives $3,600 cash from FPT Co. for consulting services to be provided evenly over the period November 1, 2021, to April 30, 2022.
Since we want to know the adjusting entry on December 31, 2021, a period form November 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 is a period of two months out of the 6 months period. Therefore, the unearned consultancy fee will be:
= $3600 × 2/6
= $1200
Therefore, there'll be a debit to the unearned consulting Fees for $1,200. Also, there'll be a credit to the consulting fees earned account by $1200.
