You have been tasked with advising the dictator of a nation over what he should do to increase the countries GDP. He suggests printing money and increasing the growth rate of the money supply. He wants to give this newly printed currency to his soldiers and best political supporters. You know this will not increase GDP in the long run because:
I. Money is neutral
II. Increasing the growth of the money supply only causes inflation in the long run
III. He would only increase GDP in the long run if he distributed the money equally to all citizens
IV. He would only increase GDP in the long run only if he printed a large enough sum of money
a. I and II only I
b. II, and III only
c. I, II, III, and IV
d. III only
Answer: a. I and II only
Explanation:
Money is neutral which means that even if you change to supply of money in an economy, it will not translate to an increase in GDP because only the nominal values of things will change (as a result of inflation) while the real values of things like GDP will remain the same.
Increasing the growth of money supply by printing money would also cause inflation in the long run because the money will lose its value like goods do when their supply is increased even though demand does not. A weaker currency needs more units to buy a good which is where the inflation will come from.

g provides the following income statement for 20X9: Net Sales $240,000 Cost of Goods Sold 110,000 Gross Profit $130,000 Operating Expenses: Selling Expenses 45,000 Administrative Expenses 12,000 Total Operating Expenses 57,000 Operating Income $73,000 Other Income and (Expenses): Loss on Sale of Capital Assets (29,000) Interest Expense (1000) Total Other Income and (Expenses) (30,000) Income Before Income Taxes $43,000 Income Tax Expense 5000 Net Income $38,000 Calculate the times-interest-earned ratio.
Answer: 44 times
Explanation:
Times interest earned ratio aims to show just how much the company is able to cover its interest obligations using its operating income.
Times interest earned ratio = Net income before interest / Interest expense
Net income before interest = Operating income loss on sale of capital assets
= 73,000 - 29,000
= $44,000
Times interest earned ratio = 44,000 / 1,000
= 44 times
A conservative customer is invested in a large-cap, value-managed equity fund. The stock market drops 10% due to a poor economic forecast for the country. Your customer is upset that his conservative mutual fund lost almost as much as the stock market. What risks does your customer need to understand?
Answer:
1. Market risk
2. Systematic risk
Explanation:
Considering the situation described in the question above, my customer should understand the following risks:
1. Market risk: this is the probability that an investor will undergo losses as a result of circumstances that affect the all-around performance of investments in the financial markets.
2. Systematic risk: this is the type of risk that investors experience loss of some of their principal as a result of price volatility in the overall market which may be attributed to any of the economic, political, or social factors, but beyond the company's control.
Assume, for this question only, the following: During the negotiations Juan guaranteed Sarita that the business had turned a profit in each of the past 5 years. Actually, it lost money in each of those years, although Juan did not know that. When Juan made the statement about the business's profitability, however, Sarita was conferring with her attorney and did not hear it. Her friend Harry, who was observing the negotiations, heard Juan's statement. Before long, when Sarita realizes what a bad deal she's made, she laments the fact to Harry. When Harry inquires how a business that had been profitable under Juan was suddenly losing money, Sarita is confused. They finally realize that Harry heard Juan's misstatement about the business's profitability and Sarita did not. Even so, Sarita is thrilled. With Harry as her key witness, she seeks to rescind the sale agreement claiming innocent misrepresentation. Which of the following is true?
A. Rescission, because Juan intended to defraud Sarita.
B. No rescission, because Juan's claims of the business's profitability would not have been material to Sarita if she had heard them.
C. No rescission, because Juan lacked sufficient knowledge of the false nature of his statement and did not intend to trick Sarita.
D. Rescission, because Juan's claims of the business's profitability would have been material to Sarita if she had heard them. E. No rescission, because Sarita did not actually rely on Juan's false statement about the business's profitability.
Answer:
The true statement about this case is:
D. Rescission, because Juan's claims of the business's profitability would have been material to Sarita if she had heard them.
Explanation:
Though Juan was unaware that the statement was false at the time the contract was signed, the remedy is recession since no damage has been sustained by the other party. The false statement borders on negligent misrepresentation because Juan was supposed to be aware of the company's profitability by investigating the material fact. While it is not clear if reliance was placed on the statement when the contract was signed, the fact remains that there was a negligent misrepresentation.
Zooey is a single mother of two young children whose husband died in a tragic car accident. She earns $20,000 per year working as a cashier at a grocery store. The government uses a negative income tax system in which Taxes owed = (1/4 of income) - $15,000.
How much does Zooey owe or receive from the government?
a. She owes $5,000
b. She receives $10,000.
c. She owes $10,000.
d. She receives $15,000.
Answer:
b. She receives $10,000
Explanation:
Taxes owed = (1/4 of income) - $15,000.
Taxes owed = (1/4 x 20,000) - $15,000.
= 5,000 - 15,000 => -10,000
Hence, she receives $10,000 from the government.
A negative income tax is a system where people earning below a certain amount receive supplemental pay from the government instead of paying taxes to the government.

Allied Co has cumulative preferred stock with a $100 par value and a 12 percent annual dividend. No dividend has been paid for the past two years. What must the preferred stockholders be paid prior to paying the common stockholders
Answer:
Allied Co.
The amount that must be paid to the preferred stockholders prior to paying the common stockholders is:
= $36.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cumulative preferred stock = $100 par value
Annual dividend on the preferred stock = 12%
Annual dividend on the preferred stock = $12
Cumulative preferred stock dividend = $24 ($12 * 2)
The amount of dividend to pay preferred stock = $36 ($24 + $12)
b) $24 was in arrears for the past 2 years. In the current year, $12 is due to the preferred stockholders as dividends. This adds up to $36 in total to be paid this year before any dividends can be paid to the common stockholders.
According to purchasing power parity, if the domestic inflation rate is ________ than that in the foreign country, the domestic currency should be ________ than that of the foreign country.

Park Company reports interest expense of $145,000 and income before interest expense and income taxes of $1,885,000. (1) Compute its times interest earned. (2) Park's competitor's times interest earned is 4.0. Is Park in a better or worse position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad
Answer:
(1) Park's times interest earned is 13.
(2) Park is in a BETTER position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad.
Explanation:
(1) Compute its times interest earned.
The times interest earned, also known as the interest coverage ratio, is a coverage ratio that calculates the proportionate amount of income that can be used to cover future interest expenses.
The times interest earned can be computed as follows:
Times interest earned = Income before interest expense and income taxes / Interest expense = $1,885,000 / $145,000 = 13
Therefore, Park's times interest earned is 13.
(2) Park's competitor's times interest earned is 4.0. Is Park in a better or worse position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad.
Because the ratio reveals how many times a company could pay interest with its pre-tax income, greater ratios are clearly better than lower ratios.
Since Park’s times interest earned of 13 is greater than its competitor’s times interest earned of 4, it therefore implies that Park is in a BETTER position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad.
A private not-for-profit entity receives three large cash donations: One gift of $71,000 is restricted by the donor so that it cannot be spent for four years. One gift of $91,000 is restricted to pay the salaries of the entity's workers. One gift of $121,000 must be held forever with the income to be used to provide food for needy families. In the current year, income of $11,000 was earned but not spent. What is the increase in the current year in net assets with donor restrictions
Answer: $294,000
Explanation:
Gift of $71,000 is time restricted as it cannot be spent for 4 years.
Gift of $91,000 is purpose restricted as it must be used for the purpose of salaries.
Gift of $121,000 is permanently restricted as it must be held forever.
Income earned from the above gift of $11,000 is purpose restricted for needy families.
The gifts with donor restrictions total:
= 71,000 + 91,000 + 121,000 + 11,000
= $294,000

Dilts Company has a unit selling price of $400, unit variable costs of $250, and fixed costs of $210,000. Compute the break-even point in units using (a) the mathematical equation and (b) unit contribution margin.
Answer:
(a) Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation = 1,400 units
(b) Break-even point in units using unit contribution margin = 1,400 units
Explanation:
(a) Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation
Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation = Fixed costs / (Unit selling price - Unit variable costs) …………….. (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation = $210,000 / ($400 - $250) = 1,400 units
(b) Break-even point in units using unit contribution margin
Unit contribution margin = Unit selling price - Unit variable costs = $400 - $250 = $150
Therefore, we have:
Break-even point in units using unit contribution margin = Fixed costs / Unit contribution margin = = $210,000 / $50 = 1,400 units

Selected sales and operating data for three divisions of different structural engineering firms are given as follows: Division A Division B Division C Sales $ 6,100,000 $ 10,100,000 $ 9,200,000 Average operating assets $ 1,525,000 $ 5,050,000 $ 2,300,000 Net operating income $ 317,200 $ 929,200 $ 225,400 Minimum required rate of return 15.00 % 18.40 % 12.00 % Required: 1. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for each division using the formula stated in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Compute the residual income (loss) for each division. 3. Assume that each division is presented with an investment opportunity that would yield a 17% rate of return. a. If performance is being measured by ROI, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity
Answer:
1. See the calculations under part 1 below.
2. We have:
Division A's Residual Income (loss) = $88,450
Division B's Residual Income (loss) = $0
Division C's Residual Income (loss) = ($50,600
3.a. Only Division C will accept the investment opportunity.
3.b. Divisions A and C will accept the investment opportunity.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Selected sales and operating data for three divisions of different structural engineering firms are given as follows:
Division A Division B Division C
Sales $ 6,100,000 $ 10,100,000 $ 9,200,000
Average operating assets $ 1,525,000 $ 5,050,000 $ 2,300,000
Net operating income $ 317,200 $ 929,200 $ 225,400
Min. req'd rate of return 15.00 % 18.40 % 12.00 %
Required:
1. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for each division using the formula stated in terms of margin and turnover.
2. Compute the residual income (loss) for each division.
3. Assume that each division is presented with an investment opportunity that would yield a 17% rate of return. a. If performance is being measured by ROI, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity? b. If performance is being measured by residual income, which division or divisions will probably accept the opportunity?
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
1. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for each division using the formula stated in terms of margin and turnover.
The relevant formulae to use are as follows:
Margin = Net Operating Income / Sales
Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets
Return on Investment = Margin * Turnover
Therefore, we have:
Division A:
Margin = $317,200 / $6,100,000 = 0.0520, or 5.20%
Turnover = $6,100,000 / $1,525,000 = 4 times
Return on Investment = 5.2% * 4 = 0.2080, or 20.80%
Division B:
Margin = $929,200 / $10,100,000 = 0.0920, or 9.20%
Turnover = $10,100,000 / $5,050,000 = 2 times
Return on Investment = 9.20% * 2 = 0.1840, or 18.40%
Division C:
Margin = $225,400 / $9,200,000 = 0.0245, or 2.45%
Turnover = $9,200,000 / $2,300,000 = 4 times
Return on Investment = Margin * Turnover = 2.45% * 4 = 0.0980, or 9.80%
2. Compute the residual income (loss) for each division.
The formula for calculating this is:
Residual Income (loss) = Net Operating Income - Minimum Required Return * Average Operating Assets
Therefore, we have:
Division A's Residual Income (loss) = $317,200 - (15.00 % * $1,525,000) = $88,450
Division B's Residual Income (loss) = $929,200 - (18.40 % * $5,050,000) = $0
Division C's Residual Income (loss) = $225,400 - (12.00 % * $2,300,000) = ($50,600)
3. Assume that each division is presented with an investment opportunity that would yield a 17% rate of return.
3-a. If performance is being measured by ROI, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity?
The decision criterion is for a division to accept the investment opportunity if its Return on Investment (ROI) is lower than 17%.
Based on the results in part 1 above, only Division C will accept the investment opportunity.
3-b. If performance is being measured by residual income, which division or divisions will probably accept the opportunity?
The decision criterion is for a division to accept the investment opportunity if its minimum required rate of return is lower than 17%.
Based on the information in the question, Divisions A and C will accept the investment opportunity.

Consider the following opportunities. Opportunity 1 requires a $4,000 cash payment now (Year 0) but will result in $14,000 cash received in Year 5. Opportunity 2 requires no cash outlay and results in $3,500 cash received in Year 3 and Year 5.
Required:
Use a 6 percent discount rate and determine whether Opportunity 1 or Opportunity 2 results in a greater NPV.
Answer:
Opportunity 1 results in a greater NPV.
Explanation:
NPV of Opportunity 1 = (Cash received in Year 5 / (100% + Discount rate)^Number of years) - Cash payment now = ($14,000 / (100% + 6%)^5) - $4,000 = $10,461.61 - $4,000 = $6,461.61
NPV of Opportunity 2 = (Cash received in Year 3 / (100% + Discount rate)^Number of years) + (Cash received in Year 5 / (100% + Discount rate)^Number of years) = ($3,500 / (100% + 6%)^3) + ($3,500 / (100% + 6%)^5) = $2,938.67 + $2,615.40 = $5,554.07
Since NPV of Opportunity 1 which is $6,461.61 is greater than NPV of Opportunity 2 which is $5,554.07, this implies that Opportunity 1 results in a greater NPV.
