Many demographers predict that the United States will have zero populationgrowth in the twenty-first century, in contrast to average population growth of about 1percent per year in the twentieth century. Use the Solow model to forecast the effect ofthis slowdown in population growth on the growth of total output and the growth ofoutput per person. Consider the effects both in the steady state and in the transition between steady states

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

  • The foremost thing is to first consider steady states. The Sluggish population growth rate swings in the line representing population growth and depreciation to the downward trend.
  • The new stable rate has a superior level of capital per worker thereby having a higher level of output per worker.
  • In Steady state, the entire output develops at rate n, whereas the output rate per worker grows at figure 0. Hence, slower population growth will hamper the figure of total output growth, but the rate of per-worker output growth will be the same.
  • Now reflect on the transition. We know that the constant-state level of output per worker is higher with little population growth. Hence, for the period of the transition to the new steady state, output per worker should grow at a rate faster than 0 for a sometime.

Laurel, Inc., and Hardy Corp. both have 10 percent coupon bonds outstanding, with semiannual interest payments, and both are currently priced at the par value of $1,000. The Laurel, Inc., bond has six years to maturity, whereas the Hardy Corp. bond has 19 years to maturity.If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of each bond?

Answers

Answer:

Laurel = -8.38%

Hardy = -14.85%

Explanation:

Present Price of Bond :

Laurel, Inc. = $1000

Hardy Corp. = $1000

After Percentage Price would be

Laurel, Inc = Present Value (i=6%, n=12, PMT=50, FV=1000)  = $916.16

Hardy Corp = Present Value (i=6%, n=30, PMT=50, FV=1000)  = $851.54

Percentage change in price

Laurel, Inc = (916.16-1000)/1000 = -8.38%

Hardy Corp = (851.54-1000)/1000 = -14.85%

Answer:

1. Debit Depreciation expense  $1,340

  Credit Accumulated depreciation  $1,340

2. Debit Interest expense  $275

   Credit Accrued Interest  $275

3. Debit Supplies expense  $450

   Credit Supplies Account  $450

4. Debit Unearned Service revenue  $3,100

   Credit Service revenue  $3,100

5. Debit Salaries expense  $900

   Credit Accrued Salaries  $900

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.

It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset

Mathematically,  

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life

It is recorded by debiting depreciation and crediting accumulated depreciation.

When interest is incurred as an expense but yet to be paid, it will be accrued for by Debiting Interest expense and crediting accrued Interest. The same applies to salaries incurred but yet to be paid.

When Supplies is purchased, Debit supplies and credit Cash/Accounts payable. As Supplies are used up, debit supplies expense (with the amount used) and Credit Supplies account.

Amount of supplies used up = $550 - $100

= $450

When a fee is received in advance for a service yet to be rendered, the revenue for such fee is said to be unearned. The entries required are

Debit Cash account and Credit Unearned fees or deferred revenue.

Earned revenue = $4,000 - $900

= $3,100

An company buys a color printer that will cost $18,000 to buy, and last 5 years. It is assumed that it will require servicing costing $500 each year. What is the equivalent annual annuity of this deal, given a cost of capital of 12%? A. -$3983 B. -$4002 C. -$4957 D. -$5493

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option (D)

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The present value of equity factor for 5 years at 12% discount are = 3.60478

Then,

The present value of servicing costing = -$500 * 3.60478 = -$1802.39

Thus,

The present value of cost to buy =- $18000

The total Present value = -18000 + 1802.39 = -$19802.39

So,

The equivalent annual annuity = total Present value / present value of equity factor

= -$19802.39 / 3.60478

= -$5493.37

Therefore, the equivalent annual annuity of this deal is -$5493.37

At the end of 2020, Aramis Company has accounts receivable of $800,000 and an allowance for doubtful accounts of $40,000.

Debit Allowance for doubtful Accounts $6,000

Credit Accounts receivables $6,000

B.

Net realizable Receivables (beginning balance)

= accounts receivable of $800,000 Less allowance for doubtful accounts of $40,000

Net realizable receivable = $760,000

C.

= accounts receivable of $800,000

Less adjustment for write off $6,000

Closing Accounts receivables balance $794,000

Less

Opening allowance for doubtful accounts of $40,000

Less debt write off $6,000

Lorenzo Company applies overhead to jobs on the basis of direct materials cost. At year-end, the Work in Process Inventory account shows the following. Work in Process Inventory Date ExplanationDebit Credit Balance Dec.31 Direct materials cost1,900,000 1,900,000 31 Direct labor cost210,000 2,110,000 31 Overhead applied684,000 2,794,000 31 To finished goods 2,723,000 71,000 1. Determine the predetermined overhead rate used (based on direct materials cost). 2. Only one job remained in work in process inventory at December 31. Its direct materials cost is $22,000. How much direct labor cost and overhead cost are assigned to this job

Answers

Answer:

1. Overhead rate = Overhead costs / Direct material costs

Overhead rate = $684,000 / $1,900,000

Overhead rate = 0.36

Overhead rate = 36%

2. How much direct labor cost and overhead cost are assigned to this job?

Total cost of job in process                      $71,000

Less: Overhead applied                            $7,920

          ($22,000 * 36%)

Less: Material cost of job in process        $22,000

Direct labor cost                                        $41,080

Hence, direct labor cost is $41,080 and Overhead cost is $7,920

Final answer:

The predetermined overhead rate is 36%. For the last job with direct materials cost of $22,000, the direct labor cost assigned remains $210,000 and the overhead cost assigned is $7,920.

Explanation:

To answer your questions, first we need to determine the predetermined overhead rate which is the ratio of overhead costs to direct materials costs. Given that the total overhead costs were $684,000 and the total direct material cost was $1,900,000, the predetermined overhead rate would be $684,000 / $1,900,000 which equals approximately 0.36 or 36%.

Secondly, to calculate how much direct labor cost and overhead cost would be assigned to the last job which has a direct materials cost of $22,000: the direct labor cost remains the same as provided, which is $210,000. However, the overhead cost would be calculated by multiplying the direct materials cost of the job by the overhead rate (0.36), giving $22,000 * 0.36 = $7,920.

Alpha Division had the following information: Average operating asset base in Alpha Division $500,000 Operating income in Alpha Division $60,000 Cost of capital 14% Target return on investment (ROI) 16% Margin for Alpha Division 21% If the asset base is decreased by $120,000, with no other changes, what will Alpha Division's return on investment be? (Note: Round answer to two decimal places.) a. 18.50% b. 15.79% c. 10.50% d. 12.55%

Answers

Answer: Option B

Explanation: As we know that,

ROI=(Operating\ income)/(total\ assets)

where,

Operating income = $60,000

total asset = current asset base - decrease in current asset base

total asset = $500,000 - $120,000

                  = $ 380,000

Now, putting the values into equation we get :-

ROI\:=\:(\$60,000)/(\$380,000)

               = 15.79%
