What should be the function of money? What do you mean by M2?

subject Macroeconomics, please please help...

Answers

Answer 1

Money is any object in which you can exchange for goods or services. We consider this currency. Money is also a store of value so that you can get those goods and services at a later time (so you don't have to immediately use up the currency right away if you don't need to).

If at some future date, the unit of money isn't able to purchase as much as it used to, then we say that inflation has occurred. For example, if a loaf of bread costs $1 today but then $5 ten years from now, then we say inflation has kicked in.  

-------------------------

Before we talk about M2, it helps to start with M0. That's a zero and not the letter 'oh'. In economics, M0 is the total collection of all cash (bills and coins) that are in circulation. This means we're just talking about physical things people can touch. Building to M1, it involves everything M0 talks about plus things like travelers checks and demand deposits. So if you're talking about M1, then you involve all physical cash as well.

Then finally moving to M2, it involves everything M0 and M1 does, plus savings accounts and time deposits. By "time deposits", I mean things like mutual funds and money market accounts. Basically things you may hear about when talking about wall street.

In short, M2 involves all physical cash plus other electronic stores of value (this is a fairly vague definition but it may work in many settings). It does not involve large time deposits as that is what M3 handles.

Depreciation $115,400

EBIT $

Taxes (30%)

Net income $

OCF

What is the depreciation tax shield?

Answer:

Operating Cash Flow(OCF)= $206190

Depreciation tax shield = $34620

Explanation:

To calculate Depreciation tax shield:

Depreciation×tax rate= $115400×0.30=$34620

Operating Cash flow(OCF)= Earnings before interest and taxes(EBIT)+depreciation - income tax expense

So we calculate EBIT and Income tax expense

EBIT= Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense

= $ 687,900-$442,800-$115,400= $129,700

Income tax expense= (Sales - cost of goods sold - depreciation expense) × tax rate

=($687900-$442800-$115400)×0.30

=$38910

Therefore, Operating Cash flow(OCF)= $129,700+$$115,400-$38910= $206190

A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Two alternatives, A and B, have been identified, and the associated costs and revenues have been estimated. Annual fixed costs would be $36,000 for A and $31,000 for B; variable costs per unit would be $7 for A and $11 for B; and revenue per unit would be $18.

Requied:
a. Determine each alternativeâs break-even point in units.
b. At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield the same profit?
c. If expected annual demand is 10,000 units, which alternative would yield the higher profit?

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Alternative A:

Fixed costs= $36,000

Unitary variable cost= $7

Selling price= $18

Alternative B:

Fixed costs= $31,000

Unitary variable cost= $11

Selling price= $18

First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units for each alternative:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Alternative A= 36,000 / (18 - 7)= 3,273

Alternative B= 31,000 / (18 - 11)= 4,429

Now, we equal the indifference point:

36,000 + 7x = 31,000 + 11x

x= number of units

5,000 = 4x

1,250 = x

The indifference point is 1,250 units.

Finally, 10,000 units are sold:

Alternative A:

Net income= 10,000*(18 - 7) - 36,000

Net income= $74,000

Alternative B:

Net income= 10,000*(18 - 11) - 31,000

Net income= $39,000

15. Assume that Bullen issued 12,000 shares of common stock, with a $5 par value and a $47 fair value, to obtain all of Vicker's outstanding stock. In this acquisition transaction, how much goodwill should be recognized

Answers

Answer:

$104,000

Explanation:

Note: The full question is attached as picture below

Fair value of net assets = Cash and receivables + Inventory + Land + Buildings (net) + Equipment (net) - Liabilities

Fair value of net assets = $70,000 + 210,000 + 240,000 + 270,000 + 90,000 - 420,000

Fair value of net assets = $460,000

Purchase consideration paid = 12,000*$47

Purchase consideration paid = $564,000

Goodwill recognized = Purchase consideration - Fair value of net assets

Goodwill recognized = $564,000 - $460,000

Goodwill recognized = $104,000

Explain the concept of the voice of the customer (VOC). Why would a clear VOC process be important in the supplier to receiving organization relationship

Answers

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

a. Explain the concept of the voice of the customer (VOC).

Voice of the customer (VOC) can be described as a detailed process of collecting data on expectations, preferences, and aversions of a customer.

VOC means emphasizing the consumer, their opinions, experiences, and input about the brand of a company.

b. Why would a clear VOC process be important in the supplier to receiving organization relationship?

Voice of Customer process gives a company the opportunity to listen to each customer, act on their feedback, and analyze the data to improve operations. Therefore, the company would be able to avoid potential problems for future customers by being attentive and responsive, and it can obtain immediate benefit from customers who provide positive feedback.

The ability to measure a customer's experience at important touch points in real time is one of the key advantages of VOC process. Therefore, one of the best things a company can do is just ask its customers what they want and create a relationship from there.

The process for converting present values into future values is called________________.

Answers

Answer:

Compounding.

Explanation:

Compounding is typically an accounting process used for the conversion of present values of an asset, investment or money into future values.

Generally, a compound interest is calculated based on the interest rate on a loan, principal and the accumulated interest gained from previous periods. This interests is compounded for a certain number of times such as daily, weekly, quarterly or annually.

Mathematically, to find the future value from the present value of an asset or investment, we would use the compound interest formula;

[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Where;

A is the future value. P is the principal or starting amount. r is annual interest rate. n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year. t is the number of years for the compound interest.

Answer:

Semestral rate= 3.51%

Annual rate= 7.02%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Par value= $2,000

Present value= $1,956.84

Coupon= (0.0684/2)*2,000= $68.4

Number of periods= 24*2= 48 semesters

To calculate the YTM, we need to use a financial calculator:

Function= CMPD

n= 48

I%= SOLVE = 3.51%

PV= 1,956.84

PMT= -68.4

FV= -2,000

Semestral rate= 3.51%

Annual rate= 3.51*2= 7.02%

Huprey Co. is the defendant in the following legal claims. For each of the following claims, indicate whether Huprey should (a) record a liability, (b) disclose in notes, or (c) have no disclosure.

Answers

Answer:

Record a liability.Disclose in notes.Have no disclosure.

Explanation:

A contingent liability should only be recorded if the likelihood of it happening is known and the value can reasonably be estimated.

In the first scenario, it is likely that Huprey will lose so the likelihood is known. The value can also be reasonably estimated to be $1,070,000 so this should be recorded as a liability.

In the second scenario, the likelihood is known but the value cannot be estimated. In such a case, simply disclose this possibility in the notes of the financial statement.

For the third scenario, the possibility of the liability being incurred is remote so there is no need to either record or disclose the liability.

Suppose two factors are identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 4% and IR 6%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and 0.4 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 14%. If industrial production actually grows by 5%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 7%, what is your best guess for the rate of return on the stock? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

Answers

Answer:

15.4%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine your best guess for the rate of return on the stock

The revised estimate on the rate of return on

the stock would be:

Before

14% = α +[4%*1] + [6%*0.4]

α = 14% - 6.4%

α = 7.6%

With the changes:

7.6% + [5%*1] + [7%*0.4]

= 7.6% + 5% + 2.8%

= 15.4%

Therefore your best guess for the rate of return on the stock will be 15.4%

Why has Zara been successful? What are its value and cost drivers? How does it protect them? How well does it grow and innovate over time? In what activities? Why?

Answers

Answer:

1. Zara's success is founded largely on its brand positioning.

From the onset, Zara defined its brand value to be about putting the customers first. Some sources state that they are obsessed with their customers.

Another key strenght is that they have a broad spectrum of customers. They have products for all age groups.

In addition to the above, Zara is known for it's speed and agility when responding to current trends

2. Values and Cost Drivers:

Its core values revolve around four simple factors:

beautyclarity functionality, and sustainability

Her cost drivers include but are not limited to the following:

Zara invests in its ability to create a vast number of designs. It focuses on creating more styles than more products per styleZara also invests on consumer insights. It has a strong ability to identify, and respond to demand and trends in the short possible timeZara has also invested in technology systems that allow information to travel all across its entire chain very quicklyAlso, as part of its brand communications strategy, it invests more into creating more stores than it does on sales and advertisements.

3. Zara protects its value by placing priority on people

4.  Innovation: whilst Zara's core business has flourished, it was a bit of a latecomer to th mobile commerce business. In order for Zara to keep growing, it must review its pricing strategy and place more premium on quality. This is because many competitors are beginning to cut prices with the view of taking up some of Zara's shares and possibly overtaking them in the market.

Answer:

Sandra's creditor must determine if the APR for the loan exceeds the average prime offer rate by:

1.5 percentage points

Explanation:

The first mortgage loan principal should not exceed the conforming loan limit for the area where Sandra lives at the time that she secures the loan approval. It behooves on Sandra’s creditor to determine if the annual percentage rate (APR) for the mortgage loan exceeds the average prime offer rate (or the sample rate that is a representative of the APRs charged by creditors for mortgage loans that have low-risk pricing characteristics) by 1.5 percentage points.

In its most recent annual report, Appalachian Beverages reported current assets of $39,900 and a current ratio of 1.90. Assume that the following transactions were completed: (1) purchased merchandise for $5,100 on account and (2) purchased a delivery truck for $10,000, paying $2,000 cash and signing a two-year promissory note for the balance.

Required:
Compute the updated current ratio.

Answers

Answer:

Appalachian Beverages

The Updated current ratio is:

= 1.65

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Current assets = $39,900

Current ratio = 1.90

Current liabilities = $21,000 ($39,900/1.90)

Current Assets:

Beginning balance = $39,900

Inventory                      $5,100

Cash                           ($2,000)

Ending balance =      $43,000

Current Liabilities:

Beginning balance = $21,000

Accounts Payable       $5,100

Ending balance =      $26,100

Analysis of Transactions:

1. Inventory $5,100 Accounts Payable $5,100

2. Delivery Truck $10,000 Cash $2,000 Two-year Note Payable $8,000

Updated current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities

= $43,000/$26,100

= 1.65

Carly Company plans to depreciate a new building using the double declining-balance depreciation method. The building cost is $960,000. The estimated residual value of the building is $66,000 and it has an expected useful life of 25 years. Assuming the first year's depreciation expense was recorded properly, what would be the amount of depreciation expense for the second year

Answers

Answer:

Straight line method rate = 1/ Number of years * 100  = 1/25*100 = 4%

Double declining balance depreciation = 2*Straight line method rate*Book value

First Year depreciation = 8%*$960,000

First Year depreciation = $76,800

Second year depreciation = 8% * (Book Value as on 1st year - First Year depreciation)

Second year depreciation = 8%*($960,000-$76,800)

Second year depreciation = 8%*$883,200

Second year depreciation = $70,656

Describe the reason that accrued expenses often require adjusting entries but not in every situation. g

Answers

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

Accrued Expenses:

The expenses accumulated were costs pending only at the conclusion of the financial day to be paid. Your financial reports would be made around an accrual basis, meaning the revenue would be booked appropriately without receiving the money. Likewise, the costs incurred during the existing fiscal year will be booked irrespective of if they're not paid.

Usually, know that such a cost is incurred only at end of the fiscal year until we have been paid.

When at the conclusion of a fiscal year we won't receive this bill, therefore the costs will have to be modified directly. In case the payment is not received.

Answers

Complete Question:

Janet is currently employed at an accounting firm.  During the year (2021), she spent $2,500 on a CPA review course and began working on a law degree in night school.  Her law school expenses were $4,200 for tuition and $450 for books (which are not a requirement for enrollment in the course).  Assuming no reimbursement, how much of these expenses can Janet deduct?

Answer:

Janet

Assuming no reimbursement by the accounting firm, Janet can deduct:

= $6,700

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Amount spent on CPA review course = $2,500

Law school expenses:

Tuition = $4,200

Books = $450

Total expenses by Janet = $7,150

Books not required for enrollment = $450

Qualified deductible expenses = $6,700

b) Therefore, Janet cannot deduct the whole $7,150 expenses that she incurred during the year.  But she can deduct up to $6,700.  The expense for the books is not qualified because the books are not required for her enrollment or attendance at the law school.

Determine the amount to be paid in full settlement of each invoice, assuming that credit for returns and allowances was received prior to payment and that all invoices were paid within the discount period.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The amount that should be paid is

= $4,500 - $1,200 - ($4,500 - $1,200) × 2%) + $140

= $4,500 - $1,200 - $66 + $140

= $3,374

And,

b.  The amount that should be paid is

= $7,650 - $450 - ($7,650 - $450) × 1%

= $7,650 - $450 - $72

= $7,128

In this way the amount to be paid in full could be determined

Suppose you sell 22 of the May corn futures at the high price of the day. You close your position later when the price is 464.750. Ignoring commission, what is your dollar profit on this transaction

Answers

Your dollar profit on this derivative transaction is $247,500.

What is a derivative transaction or contract?

Derivative transactions are financial contracts, like futures, options, and forwards that derive their values from the fluctuations of the underlying asset.

Derivative contracts indicate the price at which the financial security is traded and the date within which the transaction should take place.

Examples of derivative transactions include:

Structured debt obligations and depositsSwaps, futures, and optionsCaps, floors, and collarsForwards, and various combinations thereof.

Data and Calculations:

Number of contracts = 22

Contract size = 5,000

Number of bushels to be delivered = Number of contracts x Contract size

= 110,000 (22 × 5,000)

Profit to be obtained = Number of bushels to be delivered × Settlement price × (High price in May − Closing price)

= 110,000 × ($467 − $464.75)

= 110,000 × $2.25

= $247,500

Thus, your dollar profit on this derivative transaction is $247,500.

You must obey the speed limit. If no limit is posted, drive no more than 55 mph (88 km/h). Often, it is common sense to keep your actual speed below the posted limit. For example, the legal limit on a slippery or fogged-in expressway might be 55 mph (88 km/h), or even 65 mph (100 km/h), but the safe speed to drive would be much lower. Even if you were to drive at 50 mph (80 km/h) on that hazardous highway, a police officer could ticket you for a speed "not reasonable" for the conditions.To keep a smooth traffic flow, some highways also have minimum speed limits. If you drive slower than the minimum speed you can halt the traffic flow and create a dangerous condition.
