Sara purchased a life insurance policy as an investment from her neighbor, Angela. Angela, the original policy holder had paid premiums of $12,000 before the sale. Sara paid Angela $16,500 to acquire the life insurance policy. Sara made additional payments of $5,000. When Angela died, Sara collected $50,000. How much of the policy proceeds is taxable to Sara
Answer:
$16,500
Explanation:
She invested = $12,000
Total money spent to acquire the policy = ($16,500 + $5000) = $21,500
Total money invested on policy = $21500 + $12000
Total money invested on policy = $33500
Money that sara got after angela died = $50,000
Therefore, the taxable proceed will be = $50,000 - $33,500 = $16,500

Answer:
See answers below
Explanation:
1. Compute current ratio
Current ratio(2016) = Current assets / Current liabilities
= $6,594,351 / $5,827,005
= 1.13:1
Current ratio(2017) = Current assets / Current liabilities
= $6,905,075 / $7,674,670
= 0.89:1
Compute quick ratio
Quick ratio (2016) = Cash + Net receivables / Current liabilities
= $3,726,549 + $499,142 / $5,827,005
= $4225691 / $5827005
= 0.72:1
Quick ratio (2017) = Cash + Net receivables / Current liabilities
= $3,701,247 + $515,381 / $7,674,670
= $6,905,075 / $7,674,670
= 0.55:1
b. Compute debt to equity ratio
Debt to equity (2016) = Total liabilities / Stockholder's equity
= $16,750,167 / $6,247,242
= 2.68:1
Debt to equity (2017) = Total liabilities / Stockholder's equity
= $23,022,980 / $5,965,725
= 3.86:1
Compute times interest earned ratio
Times interest ratio(2017) = Earning before interest and income tax / Interest expense
• Please note that in 2017, loss before income taxes ($2,209,032) , hence no ratio is computed
c. Compute the cash burn rate for 2017.
Cash burn rate (2017) = Opening cash balance - Closing cash balance / Months
= $3,726,549 - $3,701,247 / 12
= $2,108

Consider an economy described by the following equations:
Y=C+I+G
C=120+0.8×(Y−T)
I=500−50×r G=150
T=125
where Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government purchases, T is taxes, and r is the interest rate. If the economy were at full employment (that is, at the natural rate of output), GDP would be $2,850.
Identify the equation(s) each of the following statements describes.
a. It is a function of disposable income.
b. It depends on the interest rate.
The marginal propensity to consume in this economy is:____________ .
Suppose the central bank's policy is to adjust the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 3%, so r = 3. When the interest rate is 3%, GDP is __________$ .
GDP at an interest rate of 3% is the full-employment level.
a. True
b. False
Assuming no change in monetary policy, (a decrease, an increase) in government purchases by ____ would restore GDP to the full-employment level. (Note: Assume that such change in fiscal policy has no crowding-out effect.) Assuming no change in fiscal policy, (a decrease. an increase) in the interest rate by ___ would restore GDP to the full-employment level.
Answer:
Consumption c is a function of disposable income
Investment I is a function of interest rate
Marginal propensity to consume equals 0.8
If this 3, I = investment
= 500-(3*50)
= 500-150
= 350
We have Y= C+I+G
Y = 120+0.8(Y-125)+350+150
Y = 120+0.8Y-100+350+150
Y-0.8Y = 120-100+350+150
0.2Y = 520
Y = 520/0.2
Y = 2600
GDP and interest rate falls below full employment
If there is no change in monetary policy an increase in government purchases by 50dollars takes gdp back to full employment
If no change in fiscal policy when interest rate decreases by 1.4% God goes back to full employment.
When a famous painting becomes available for sale, it is often known which museum or collector will be the likely winner. Yet, the auctioneer actively woos representatives of other museums that have no chance of winning to attend anyway.
Suppose a piece of art has recently become available for sale and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with the winner paying an amount equal to the second highest bid. Assume that most collectors know that Janet places a value of $125,000 on the art piece and that she values this art piece more than any other collector. Suppose that if no one else shows up, Janet simply bids $125,000/2 = $5,000 and wins the piece of art.
The expected price paid by Kenji, with no other bidders present, is $:_________
Suppose the owner Of the artwork manages to recruit another bidder, Manuel, to the auction. Manuel is known to value the art piece at $8,000.
The expected price paid by Kenji, given the presence of the second bidder Manuel, is $:_________
Please find attached
Answer and Explanation:
1. If there are no other bidders present as from question them we can conclude that Kenji would buy the art piece for $5000. See question
2. If there is a bidder present in the name of Manuel who would bid for $8000 then Kenji would bid at $8000 and win the bid for the art piece. See question. Kenji would bid at price of 2nd highest bidder to win the bid for art piece
a. What is the total cash outflow for buying and for leasing a motor vehicle with a cash price of $33,000
Answer:
For buying = $32,640
For leasing = $31,800
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For buying
Total cash outflow = Down payment + Loan repayment - Value of vehicle at the end of loan
= $5,600 + (780 × 48) - $10,400
= $32,640
For Leasing
Total cash outflow = Down payment + Loan repayment - Value of vehicle at the end of loan
= $2,000 + (600 × 48) - $1,000
= $31,800

You are in the business of producing and selling snow shovels, and you need to determine how many shovels should be produced during each of the next four quarters to meet the following demands: 11,000 shovels in quarter 1; 48,000 shovels in quarter 2; 64,000 shovels in quarter 3; and 15,000 shovels in quarter 4.
Due to labor limitations, at most 65,000 shovels can be produced in any one quarter at a cost of $5/shovel. Additionally, a fixed cost of $30,000 must be paid for any quarter in which shovels are produced. You may assume that any shovels produced during a quarter can be used to satisfy demand for that quarter. At the end of the quarter, a holding cost of $0.50 per shovel in inventory is incurred. Currently, you have no shovels in inventory.
Required:
Formulate an integer-linear program to determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of production and inventory costs over the next four quarters.
Answer:
Quarter Production
Q1 11000
Q2 62000
Q3 65000
Q4 0
This will generate lower production and inventory cost as it savesthe fixed cost of 30,000 if we produce in the fourth quarter.
Explanation:
First, we construct the formula for the relevant cost:
Holding Cost: $0.50 per shovel
$0.50 x 2 x (Q2-48,000) + $0.50 x (Q1-11,000) = Holding Cost Q2
$0.50 x 1 x (Q3-64,000) = Holding Cost Q3
First, the restrictions:
P1 P2 P3 P4 are Integer
P1 < 65,000
P2 < 65,000
P3 < 65,000
P4 < 65,000
Then, we have the inventory formulas:
I1 = P1 - S1
I2 = P2 + I1 -S2
I3 = P3 + I2 - S3
I4 = P4 + I3 - S4
The holding cost
H1 = I1 x 0.50
H2 = I2 x 0.50
H3 = I3 x 0.50
H4 = I4 x 0.50
The fixed cost
if P1> 0 then FC1 = 30,000
if P2> 0 then FC2 = 30,000
if P3> 0 then FC3 = 30,000
if P4> 0 then FC4 = 30,000
And last,the total cost:
FC1 + H1 +FC2 + H2 +FC3 + H3 +FC4 + H4 = Total Cost
This is the formula we want to minimize

In respect to organizational structure and decision making, a "Flat Structure" is best characterized as:___________
a) A management structure characterized by an overall narrow span of management, a relatively large number of hierarchical levels, tight control, and reduced communication overhead. Decision-making can be quite rapid, if it occurs from the top down.
b) A management structure characterized by a wide span of control and relatively few hierarchical levels, loose control, and ease of delegation. Decision-making is often slower, as it involves a high degree of integration across the company.
c) The location of decision making authority near top organizational levels.
Similar to a tall structure, this expedites decision-making from the top down.
d) The location of decision making authority is relatively evenly dispersed across the company. This works well when creativity and independent operations create value for the organization.
e) None of the answers in this answer set are correct.
Answer:
A management structure characterized by a wide span of control and relatively few hierarchical levels, loose control, and ease of delegation. Decision-making is often slower, as it involves a high degree of integration across the company.
Explanation:
A flat structure in organisations are characteristized by few or no levels of management between the top management and employees.
This results in less supervision of employees (that is less control). Staff have a higher control over their jobs and have some freedom on how they execute tasks.
Employees are also more involved in decision making. Although there needs to be integrated or involve a large number of people agreeing.
So decision making is relatively slow.
Apply What You’ve Learned - Managing Credit Cards and ConsumerLoans
Scenario: You are 30 years old, married, have two children, and household income (take-home pay) of$3,500 per month. Your credit and consumer debt is as follows:_______.
• Car loan, 6% interest rate, $10,000 balance, $295 per month
• Department store card, 28% interest rate, $600 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
• Discover Card, 12% interest rate, $2,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• VISA Card, 13% interest rate, $3,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• MasterCard 1, 14% interest rate, $4,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• MasterCard 2, 14% interest rate, $0 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• Gasoline card, 21% interest rate, $300 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
Assume all credit cards will assess a $35 late fee and ongoing penalty interest of 8% above the currentrate if you miss a payment. Your recent VISA card statement came with a blank cash advance check(for up to $10,000) with terms of 23.99% APR and a fee of 3% if you use it. Your recent MasterCard 2statement came with a balance transfer oFer (up to $4,000) with no fee and 0% APR for 12 months,after which the normal interest rate applies. You recently found an incorrect amount charged on yourVISA card from a store you frequent often. You’d like to come up with a plan to eliminate all of yourcredit card debt.
In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
Yes, you can invest the money saved each month to earn interest.
No, it will cause your interest rate to go up.
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for manyyears.
Yes, this allows you more ±exibility in your cash budget.

Answer:
1) In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for many years.All you have to do is analyze the interest rates charged by the credit card companies and it is really difficult for any investment to match those interest rates.
2) Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, how much should you pay on each card?
I would start with the cards that charge the highest interest rates. I would pay the full balance of the department store card and the gasoline card = $600 + $300 = $900
Since I have $600 left, I would then pay the minimum payments for the cards that charge the least interest rates. I would pay $40 to Discover card and $60 to VISA.
The remaining $500 would be used to pay MasterCard 1 card and lower its balance.
A machine was purchased for $35,500, having a useful life of 10 years, and a residual value of $6,000. Compute the annual depreciation expense using the straight-line method.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $2,950
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A machine was purchased for $35,500, having a useful life of 10 years, and a residual value of $6,000.
To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (35,500 - 6,000) / 10
Annual depreciation= $2,950
Analyzing Unearned Revenue Disclosures
The following disclosures (excerpted) are from the August 28, 2016, annual report of Costco Wholesale Corporation.
Revenue Recognition: We generally recognize sales, net of estimated returns, at the time the member takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When we collect payment from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amount recieved is generally recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets until the sales or service is completed. Membership fee revenue represents annual membership fees paid by our memberships. We account for membership fee revenue, net of estimated refunds, on a deferred basis, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

What is a sum of money that is borrowed and is expected to be paid back with interest?
Janet enjoys eating jelly sandwiches and drinking milk. She is particular about proportions, though: For every jelly sandwich she eats, she must drink exactly one glass of milk, and vice versa. Janet can purchase the jelly for her sandwiches in two jar sizes: 20 ounces and 40 ounces. Janet cares only about the total amount of jelly she has available and not at all about the jar size. In other words, she's just as happy with two 20-ounce jars as she is with one 40-ounce jar.
In this scenario, jelly sandwiches and glasses of soda are:___________
a. perfect complements
b. perfect substitutes
c. neither complements or susitutes)
The correct answer is A. Perfect complements
Explanation:
Janet eats jelly sandwiches and milk together; in this context, jelly and milk are complements because these are consumed together. Indeed, every time Janet consumes jelly she consumes milk. Moreover, these are perfect complements because the demand and consumption of both increases or decreases together proportionally. This is because if Janet eats 2 sandwiches this also duplicates the amount of milk she consumes (two glasses of milk). In the same way, this affects the demand for jelly and milk because if Janet drinks more milk she will need to buy more jelly.
If a particular good or product is consumed togetherly is said to be the perfect counterpart. Economically also the consumer uses products in a fixed proportion like cereal and milk are the perfect complementary example.
The correct answer is:
Option A. perfect complements
This can be explained as:
Jelly and milk are paired as they both are utilised togetherly in a combination.Whenever Janet will eat jelly she will drink milk too. The demand is proportionate to each other as jelly in the sandwich will be eaten whenever she will have milk and vice versa.Therefore, this scenario shows perfect complements.
