Answer:
A. $25,000
B. $4,300
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine What amount will the insurance company pay for the damages
Using this formula
Insurance payment=(Claim amount, Policy limit)
Let plug in the formula
Insurance payment= $25,000
Therefore the amount that the insurance company will pay for the damages is $25,000
B. Calculation to determine What amount will Kurt have to pay
Using this formula
Personal liability=Claim amount - Insurance payment
Let plug in the formula
Personal liability=($9,000 + $20,300) - $25,000
Personal liability=$29,300-$25,000
Personal liability=$4,300
Therefore Kurt have to pay $4,300
The balance sheet of a partnership will:_________
a. report retained earnings below the partnership capital accounts.
b. show a separate capital account for each partner.
c. show a separate drawing account for each partner.
d. show the amount of income that was distributed to each partner.
Answer:
b. show a separate capital account for each partner.
Explanation:
A partnership can be defined as a type of business ownership in which two or more individuals come together to start up a business and share the profits made together.
Balance sheet refers to a document that contains financial information about assets, liability, and equity.
A current asset can be defined as all of the assets that are being owned by a company or business entity and are expected to be converted into their cash equivalent through sales or use within a period of one year of its date on the organization's balance sheet.
In Financial accounting, the balance sheet of a partnership is typically designed to show a separate capital account for each partner. Thus, if there are four or more people in a partnership form of business, each of them would have a separate capital account in the balance sheet of the partnership.

Jane is a very intelligent graduate of FIN 3601. As such, she knows she should will start contributing into her company's retirement plan. She decides to allocate $250 at the end of each month into her 401(k). However, her company offers a fairly generous matching program. For every dollar that Jane saves in her 401(k), her firm will add $0.50 to her account. If she is employed by this firm for 30 years and earns an average of 10.50% on her retirement savings per year, how much will Jane have in her retirement account 30 years from now? Report your answer rounded to two decimal places.
Answer:
The amount that Jane will have in her retirement account 30 years from now is $943,650.37.
Explanation:
Jane’s monthly savings = $250
Amount added monthly by Jane’s firm = Jane’s monthly savings * Amount added by Jane’s firm for every dollar = $250 * $0.50 = $125
Total monthly savings to Jane’s 401(k) = Jane’s monthly savings + Amount added monthly by Jane’s firm = $250 + 125 = $375
Since Jane decides to allocate $250 at the end of each month into her 401(k), this implies the relevant formula to use to calculate the amount Jane will have in her retirement account 30 years from now is the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value or the amount that Jane will have in her retirement account 30 years from now = ?
M = Total monthly savings to Jane’s 401(k) = $375
r = Average monthly interest rate = Average annual interest rate / 12 = 10.50% / 12 = 0.1050 / 12 = 0.00875
n = number of months = number of years * number of months in a year = 30 * 12 = 360
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $375 * (((1 +0.00875r)^360 - 1) / 0.00875) = $375 * 2,516.40 = $943,650.37
Therefore, the amount that Jane will have in her retirement account 30 years from now is $943,650.37.

You have $267,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock H, with an expected return of 14.2 percent, and Stock L, with an expected return of 11.8 percent.
Required:
If your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.85 percent, how much money will you invest in Stock H and in Stock L? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)
Investment in Stock H $ _________________
Investment in Stock L $ _________________
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the money invested in stock H and stock L is given below;
Given that
H expected return is 14.2%
and l expected return is 11.8%
and,
portfolio return is 12.85%
Now if we assume that
if h investment portion is X and l investment portion is 1-X
So,
12.85= X × 14.2 +(1 - X) × 11.8
= 14.2X+11.8-11.8X
1.05= 2.4X
X= 43.75%
So investment portion of l is 56.25%
Finally
h investment = 267,000 × 43.75%
= $116,812.5 0
And,
l investment = 267,000 × 56.25%
= $150187.50

Below is information from the financial statements of Greenwich Company: Accounts receivable (net) 2016: $2,400 Accounts receivable (net) 2015: $2,200 Net sales 2016: $25,875 What is the average collection period
Answer:
32.44 days
Explanation:
The computation of the average collection period is shown below:
But before that we have to determine the account receivable turnover ratio
So, the account receivable turnover ratio is
= (net sales) ÷ (average of account receivables)
= $25,875 ÷ ($2,400 + $2,200) ÷ 2
= $25,875 ÷ $2,300
= 11.25 times
Now the average collection period is
= Total no of days in a year ÷ account receivable turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 11.25
= 32.44 days
We assume that the no of days that should be considered is 365 days
Clay is a marketing student learning how to evaluate value propositions for effectiveness. He looked through ten different propositions and found them to all be ineffective. What elements did he mostly likely identify as the reasons for their ineffectiveness?
Answer: they were generic, and they had no unique value communicated
Explanation:
Value proposition refers to the promise
that's made by an organization to its customers indicating why a product should be bought.
Since Clay looked through ten different propositions and found them to all be ineffective, the reason attributed to this will be due to the fact that the propositions were generic, and had no unique value communicated.

Venus International makes customized furniture and uses job order costing. During a period, its beginning raw materials inventory was $10,000. It purchased raw materials of $20,000 and ended the period with ending raw materials inventory of $3,000. What is the cost of raw materials transferred to Work in Process Inventory
Answer:
the cost of raw materials transferred to Work in Process Inventory is $27,000
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of raw materials transferred to Work in Process Inventory is shown below
= opening inventory + purchases made - ending inventory
= $10,000 + $20,000 - $3,000
= $27,000
Hence, the cost of raw materials transferred to Work in Process Inventory is $27,000
The same should be considered
The United Nations Human Development Report gives the following data for real GDP per person in 2014: China, $12,547; Russia, $22,352; Canada, $42,155; United States, $52,947.
Other information suggests that household production is similar in Canada and the United States and smaller than in China and Russia. The underground economy is larger in Russia and China and a similar proportion of each of these economies. Canadians and Americans enjoy more leisure hours than do the Chinese and Russians. Canada and the United States spend significantly more on the environment than do China and Russia. In which pair (or pairs) of countries is it easiest to compare the standard of living?
And in which pair (or pairs) is it most difficult? Explain why?
Answer:
B. between China and Russia or between Canada and the United States, because household production, the underground economy, leisure hours, and the environment are similar in each pair
Explanation:
The standard of living can be easily compared ______. A. between China and Canada because they have a similar land size B. between China and Russia or between Canada and the United States, because household production, the underground economy, leisure hours, and the environment are similar in each pair C. among none of the four countries because they are too different D. between Russia and the United States because they are both super powers E. among all four countries because real GDP per person includes a reliable measure of income, household production, the underground economy, leisure hours, and the environment
Real Per capita GDP measures the standard of living of the people in a country. The higher the Real Per capita GDP, the higher the standard of living
Real Per capita GDP = Real GDP / population
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
some items are not perfectly measured by GDP. They include
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
Because GDP does not measure underground economy (illegal activities) , leisure , it would be difficult to compare either pair of countries
True False All other variables held constant, investments paying simple interest have to pay significantly higher interest rates to earn the same amount of interest as an account earning compound interest. Everything else held constant, an account that earns compound interest will grow more quickly than an otherwise identical account that earns simple interest. All other factors being equal, both the simple interest and the compound interest methods will accrue the same amount of earned interest by the end of the first year.
Answer:
All other variables held constant, investments paying simple interest have to pay significantly higher interest rates to earn the same amount of interest as an account earning compound interest. TRUE.
This is a true statement because compound interest is based on the previous balance in addition to the interest earnings on the balance. It therefore accrues on a higher balance than simple interest which builds on the same amount of principal throughout. Simple interest would therefore need a higher rate to bridge this gap.
Everything else held constant, an account that earns compound interest will grow more quickly than an otherwise identical account that earns simple interest. TRUE.
An account earning compound interest would increase faster than an identical one using simple interest because compound interest is based on an accrued balance whilst simple interest does not change the balance it is based on.
All other factors being equal, both the simple interest and the compound interest methods will accrue the same amount of earned interest by the end of the first year. TRUE.
At the end of the first year, an assuming yearly compounding, both simple and compound interest will yield the same result because they would be based on the same principal amount.

Current interest rates are 8%. You want to buy a long-term bond with a face value of $1000 that pays a coupon rate of 10%. Which of the following prices is feasible?
a. $888.88
b. $1,000.00
c. $1,111.11
d. Not enough information to answer.
e. None of the above is feasible.
Answer: c. $1,111.11
Explanation:
When a bond's coupon rate is higher than the prevailing interest rate, the bond will be more sought after because it is paying more than the market is paying. As a result, the price of the bond will be higher than its par value to reflect the increased demand for it.
In other words, when a bond coupon rate is higher than the interest rate, the price will be higher than par. This is the case here so the bond will be selling at a higher price than $1,000 and the only option higher than $1,000 is option c at $1,111.11.

Astair, Inc. reported sales of $6,000,000 for the month and incurred variable expenses totaling $4,600,000 and fixed expenses totaling $940,000. The company has no beginning or ending inventories. A total of 70,000 units were produced and sold last month. How many units would the company have to sell to achieve a desired profit of $620,000
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 78,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed cost= $940,000
Total contribution margin= (6,000,000 - 4,600,000)= $1,400,000
Unitary contribution margin= 1,400,000 / 70,000= $20
Desired profit= $620,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (940,000 + 620,000) / 20
Break-even point in units= 78,000

Andrews has a new design for their product Axe next round that can reduce their material cost of producing units from $8.13 to $7.33. Andrew passes on one quarter of all cost savings by cutting the current price to customers. For simplicity: Current selling price = $19.00; Use current labor costs of $4.02; Use period costs of $7,260 (from Income Statement).
Required:
Determine the new selling price to break even next round.
Answer:
$18.80
Explanation:
New selling price = Old selling price - Adjustments
Old selling price = $19.00, Adjustments = 1 quarter of reduced raw material costs difference
New selling price = $19.00 - ($8.13 - $7.33)/4
New selling price = $19.00 - $0.20
New selling price = $18.80
So, the new selling price to break even next round is $18.80.

The problem of determining what goods and services society should produce: would not exist if government owned all of the resources. exists because we can produce more than we need or want. exists because there are not enough resources to provide all of the goods and services that people want. would not exist if all goods and services were scarce.
Answer:
exists because there are not enough resources to provide all of the goods and services that people want.
Explanation:
Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.
The four factors of production are;
I. Land: this refers to the natural resources and raw materials extracted from the ground or grown in the soil e.g oil, gold, rubber, cocoa, etc.
II. Labor (working): this is the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.
III. Capital resources: it includes the physical assets used for production of goods and services such as equipment, money, plant, etc.
IV. Entrepreneurship: it is intellectual capacity required to drive a business and the skills to develop an idea into a money making venture (business).
These four (4) factors of production when combined effectively and efficiently are used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services that meets the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.
However, the problem of determining what goods and services society should produce in order to meet the unending requirements or needs (demands) of consumers, exists because there are not enough resources such as the factors of production to provide all of the goods and services that consumers want.
uppose the demand curve for a product is given by
Q = 10 - 2P + Ps
where P is the price of the product and Ps is the price of a substitute good. The price of the substitute good is $2.00.
a. Suppose P = $1.00. The price elasticity of demand is_____.
b. Suppose the price of the good, P, goes to $2.00. Now what is the price elasticity of demand? What is the cross-price elasticity of demand?
Answer:
A. 0.2
B. 0.5, 0.25
Explanation:
Q = 10-2p+2
We take like terms
Q= 10+2-2p
= 12-2p
A. If p = 1 dollar
12-2(1)
Q = 10
Price elasticity would be change in quantity divided by the change in price = -2
-2 x p/q
= -2x1/10
= 0.2

Answer:
1) Using the 3 qualitative forecasting methods
Executive opinions,
Delphi method,
Salesforce polling.
2) Using the 2 quantitative forecasting methods:-

The average approach.
Explanation:
1) Using the 3 qualitative forecasting methods
Executive opinions- In this method, he could seek subjective views from experts concerning his sales. this might be viewed on his purchasing, finance, and future sales. However, it's utilized in conjunction with other quantitative forecasting methods so as to realize the simplest forecasts.
Delphi method- He could question a gaggle of experts about their views individually. they are doing not meet to avoid manipulation in judgments. Forecasts during this case might be compiled and analyzed by an external observer and returned to the experts for further questioning.
Salesforce polling- he could use this approach whereby he reaches bent people that are in touch with the regular customers and who can correctly predict the trends of the customers' consumption so as to offer him insights on how and when to restock counting on demand. This method is sweet for future forecasting since it gives the expected consumption trends of the purchasers that would be employed by the owner to make a decision on the quantity of inventory to stock in the future.
2) Using the 2 quantitative forecasting methods:-
The straight-line method- This is the only method of calculating future sales supported past data. It involves the utilization of a straight-line equation this measures the expansion or future predictions in sort of percentages. Here, past data is collected and a few analysis is completed to work out the trend that customers might adopt in their subsequent purchases. once they're known, the forecast on increasing or decreasing the inventory is predicated on percentage increase or reduction respectively. for instance, once demand is forecasted to grow, the vendor will decide the share they might order to hide the rise in demand.
The average approach- Here, the owner of a business conducts a mean of the past sales they need to be made to customers over a selected period. the most assumption is that the longer-term forecast is that the average of the past data. Since the owner has been making overstocking and understocking methods, it's assumed that the type of the orders is adequate to the longer-term forecast. for instance, if the owner decided within the past to order 100 units of a specific product and therefore the customers demanded quite 100 units maybe 150 units, there's an understocking decision. The owner might plan to increase subsequent stock to 200 units and at this point, the purchasers only demand 175 units making him to possess more stock than it had been required. On learning this concerning the market, the owner then decides to conduct a mean and order 150 units to require care of the overstocking and under-stocking problems.
