You are considering investing in a bank account that pays a nominal annual rate of 7%, compounded monthly. If you invest $3,000 at the end of each month, how many months will it take for your account to grow to $275,000
Answer:
To answer is 73.6 months(approximately 74 days)
Explanation:
Future value (FV) = $275,000
Annual interest rate(i) = 7%
Monthly interest rate = 0.58%(7/13)
Periodic cash outflow (PMT) = $3,000
Number of months (N) = ?
Using a texas BA II Plus calculator
FV = 275,000; PMT = -3,000; I/Y = 0.583 CPT N= 73.6
Therefore the number of months is 73.6 months. Approximately, 74 days

When a perfectly competitive firm decides to shut down, Group of answer choices marginal cost is above average variable cost.
Answer:
price is below average variable cost
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
firms should shutdown when price is less than average variable cost and exit when price is less than average total cost

The College Bookstore sells a unique calculator to college students. The demand for this calculator is constant at 20 units per day. The lead time for this calculator is variable at an average of 9 days with a standard deviation of 2 days. Compute the statistical reorder point that results in a 95 percent in-stock probability. Choose the closest answer.
a. 182 units
b. 226 units
c. 246 units
d. 26 units
e. 46 units
Answer:
c. 246 units
Explanation:
Daily demand, d = 20 units
Service Level = 95 % = 0.95. Z (according to Standardized Normal Curve) = 1.65
Average Lead Time, LT-bar = 9 days
Standard deviation of Lead Time, σLT = 2 days
Reorder Point = Expected Demand during Lead time + Safety Stock
Reorder Point = d*LT-bar + z*d*σLT
Reorder Point = (20*9) + (1.65*20*2)
Reorder Point = 180 + 66
Reorder Point = 246 units

Heinz Company began operations on January 1, 2020, and uses the FIFO method in costing its raw material inventory. Management is contemplating a change to the LIFO method and is interested in determining what effect such a change will have on net income. Accordingly, the following information has been developed:
Final Inventory
2017 2018
FIFO $640,000 $712,000
LIFO $560,000 $636,000
Net Income
(computed under the FIFO method) $980,000 $1,030,000
Based on the above information, a change to the LIFO method in 2020 would result in net income for 2018 of ________.
a. $1,070,000
b. $1,030,000
c. $954,000
d. $950,000
Answer: $954,000
Explanation:
Thw difference in the final inventory between the FIFO and the LIFO method in 2018 will be:
= $712,000 - $636,000
= $76,000
Then, based on the above information, a change to the LIFO method in 2018 would result in net income for 2018 of:
Net income as per FIFO = $1,030,000
Less: Decrease in income = $76,000
Net income as per LIFO = $954,000
Megan Corp. recognizes revenue over time to account for long-term contracts. At the date the contract is signed, the price is $600,000 and the expected costs to complete the contract are $400,000. The following information is available:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Costs incurred to date $200,000 $350,000 $500,000 Estimated costs to complete 200,000 150,000 0 Progress billings 200,000 200,000 200.000
What is the amount of gross profit or loss that is recognized in year 2?
a. $30,000 loss
b. $40,000 gross profit
c. $150,000 loss
d. $200,000 gross profit
Answer:
a. $30,000 loss
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is the amount of gross profit or loss that is recognized in year 2
First step is to calculate the Year 1 Cost to cost ratio using this formula
Year 1 Cost to cost ratio = 200,000 / ( Costs incurred + Cost to complete)
Let plug in the formula
Year 1 Cost to cost ratio= 200,000 / (200,000 + 200,000)
Year 1 Cost to cost ratio= 50%
Second step is to calculate the Gross profit or loss using this formula
Gross profit/Loss = 50% * ( Price - estimated cost to complete)
Let plug in the formula
Gross profit/Loss= 50% ( 600,000 - 400,000)
Gross profit/Loss= $100,000
Third step is to calculate the Year 2 Cost to cost ratio
Using this formula
Year 2 Cost to cost ratio = 350,000 / ( Costs incurred + Cost to complete)
Let plug in the formula
Year 2 Cost to cost ratio = 350,000 / (350,000 + 150,000)
Year 2 Cost to cost ratio = 350,000 / 500,000
Year 2 Cost to cost ratio = 70%
Now let calculate the gross profit or loss using this formula
Gross profit = 70% * ( Price - estimated cost to complete) - Previous Gross
Let plug in the formula
Gross profit= 70% ( 500,000 - 400,000) - 100,000
Gross profit= -$30,000
Gross Loss of $30,000 in Year 2

Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the information above, Quick ratio is computed as shown below;
Quick ratio = Quick assets / Current liabilities
Where,
Quick assets = Cash and cash equivalents + Marketable securities + Account receivables
Current liabilities = Bills payable + Accounts payable + Other short term liabilities
From the balance sheet, Quick assets includes cash and account receivables, while Current liabilities includes Accounts payable only
Quick ratio = $350 + $1,080 / $1,610
Quick ratio = $1,430/ $1,610
Quick ratio = 0.89 times
Therefore, the quick ratio for 2017 is 0.89 times
