Bill and Ted are deciding what musical instruments they want to learn pick between the guitar, keyboard, and the drums to play for their band. They can They both want to have a good band, but also each has a preference over what to play. Both like the guitar over all else. However, Bill likes the keyboard more than the drums and Ted likes the drums more than the keyboard. What is crucial is that each chooses a different instrument, otherwise the band is pretty terrible. The actual combination does not affect the quality of the band. One night, Bill and Ted simultaneously reveal to each other what instrument they have bought and learned to play. Since they bought AND learned to play the instru- are committed to it! Given the information above, answer the following: ment they
1. Does either Bill or Ted have a dominant/dominated strategy? Explain
2. If Bill picks the keyboard, is it a best response for Ted to pick the drums? Explain
3. If Ted picks the guitar, is it a best response for Bill to pick the keyboard? Explain
4. Can there exist a Nash equilibrium in which Bill picks the drums and Ted picks the keyboard? Explain
5. Can there exist a Nash Equlibrium in which Bill picks the guitar and Ted picks the drums? Explain
Answer and Explanation:
1. There is no dominant strategy as each person has to respond with a different strategy like using a different instrument depending on the instrument chosen by the other to achieve best payoff
2. If Bill picks keyboard then it would be best for Ted to pick guitar as this is his preferred instrument which would bring best payoff
3. If Ted picks guitar, then bull should pick keyboard which he prefers and would be the best payoff
4. A nash equilibrium would not exist here since Ted should choose guitar if bull chooses drums and bill should choose guitar if Ted chooses keyboard
5. A Nash equilibrium can exist here since Ted should choose drums when bill chooses guitar.
Your father is 50 years old and will retire in 10 years. He expects to live for 25 years after he retires until he is 85. He wants a fixed retirement income that has the same purchasing power at the time he retires as $45,000 has today. (The real value of his retirement income will decline annually after he retires.) His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, at which time he will receive 24 additional annual payments. Annual inflation is expected to be 5.5%. He currently has $100,000 saved, and he expects to earn 9% annually on his savings. How much must he save during each of the next 10 years (end-of-year deposits) to meet his retirement goal?

What is the growth rate of nominal GDP? Y0 real GDP= $1200 (in millions) Y1 real GDP= $1400 (in millions) Y0 price level= 125 Y1 price level= 140
Answer:
12%
Explanation:
The computation of the growth rate of nominal GDP is shown below:
As we know that
Nominal GDP = Real GDP × (Price level ÷ 100)
For
Nominal GDP, Y0
= $1,200 × (125 ÷ 100)
= $1,500
And,
Nominal GDP, Y1 is
= $1,200 × (140 ÷ 100)
= $1,680
Now the growth rate of nominal GDP is
= ($1,680 ÷ $1,500) - 1
= 12%

Toil & Oil processes crude oil to jointly produce gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. One batch produces 3,415 gallons of gasoline, 2,732 gallons of diesel, and 1,366 gallons of kerosene at a joint cost of $12,000. After the split-off point, all products are processed further, but the estimated market price for each product at the split-off point is as follows:
Gasoline $2 per gallon
Diesel 1 per gallon
Kerosene 3 per gallon
Using the market value at split-off method, allocate the $12,000 joint cost of production to each product.
Joint Product Allocation
Gasoline $
Diesel
Kerosene
Totals $
Answer: See attachment
Explanation:
Allocation rate was calculated as:
Gasoline: 6830/13660 × 100 = 50%
Diesel: 2732/13660 × 100 = 20%
Kerosene: 1366/13660 × 100 = 30%
Cost to be allocated:
Gasoline = 50% × $12000 = $6000
Diesel: 20% × $12000 = $2400
Kerosene: 30% × $12000 = $3600

DelRay Foods must purchase a new gumdrop machine. Two machines are available. Machine 7745 has a first cost of $8,000, an estimated life of 10 years, a salvage value of $1,000, and annual operating costs estimated at $0.01 per 1,000 gumdrops. Machine A37Y has a first cost of $8,000, a life of 10 years, and no salvage value. Its annual operating costs will be $260 regardless of the number of gumdrops produced. MARR is 6%/year, and 30 million gumdrops ware produced each year.
Based on an internal rate of return analysis, which machine should be recommended?
Answer:
I would recommend Machine 7745
Explanation:
Machine 7745
initial outlay = $8,000
operational costs per year = $300
depreciation cost per year = $700
salvage value (at year 10) = $1,000
total costs per year (1 - 9) = $1,000
total costs year 10 = $0
using an excel spreadsheet, the IRR = 2%. Since you are analyzing costs only, not incremental revenue, then you must select the project with the lowest IRR.
Machine A37Y
initial outlay = $8,000
operational costs per year = $260
depreciation cost per year = $800
total costs per year (1 - 10) = $1,060
using an excel spreadsheet, the IRR = 4%
How has the introduction of these markets, technologies and resources affected the lifestyle of the people of Cuba
Answer:
he economy of Cuba is a largely planned economy dominated by state-run enterprises. The government of Cuba owns and operates most industries and most of the labor force is employed by the state. Following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the ruling Communist Party of Cuba encouraged the formation of worker co-operatives and self-employment. However, greater private property and free market rights were granted by the 2019 Constitution.[10][11] It has also been acknowledged that foreign market investment in various Cuban economic sectors increased before 2019 as well.[12][13]
As of 2000, public-sector employment was 76% and private-sector employment (mainly composed of self-employment) was 23% - compared to the 1981 ratio of 91% to 8%.[14] Investment is restricted and requires approval by the government. The government sets most prices and rations goods to citizens. In 2016 Cuba ranked 68th out of 182 countries, with a Human Development Index of 0.775, much higher than its GDP per capita rank (95th).[15]As of 2012, the country's public debt comprised 35.3% of GDP, inflation (CDP) was 5.5%, and GDP growth was 3%.[16]
Housing and transportation costs are low. Cubans receive government-subsidized education, healthcare and food subsidies.[17]
The country achieved a more even distribution of income after the Cuban Revolution of 1953–1959,[citation needed] which was followed by an economic embargo by the United States (1960- ). During the Cold War period, the Cuban economy was heavily dependent on subsidies from the Soviet Union, valued at $65 billion in total from 1960 to 1990 (over three times as the entirety of U.S. economic aid to Latin America), an average of $2.17 billion a year.[18] This accounted for anywhere between 10% and 40% of Cuban GDP, depending on the year.[19] While the massive Soviet subsidies did enable Cuba's enormous state budget, they did not lead to a more advanced or sustainable Cuban economy; although described by economists as "a relatively highly developed Latin American export economy" in 1959 and the early 1960s, Cuba's basic economic structure changed very little between then and 1990. Tobacco products such as cigars and cigarettes were the only manufactured products among Cuba's leading exports, and even these were produced by a preindustrial process. The Cuban economy remained inefficient and over-specialized in a few highly subsidized commodities provided by the Soviet bloc countries.[20] Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba's GDP declined by 33% between 1990 and 1993, partially due to the loss of Soviet subsidies[21] and a crash in sugar prices in the early 1990s. It rebounded in the early 2000s due to a combination of marginal liberalization of the economy and heavy subsidies from the friendly government of Venezuela, which provided Cuba with low-cost oil and other subsidies worth up to 12% of Cuban GDP annually.[22] Cuba retains high levels of healthcare and education.[23]

You want to buy a house that costs $140,000. You have $14,000 for a down payment, but your credit is such that mortgage companies will not lend you the required $126,000. However, the realtor persuades the seller to take a $126,000 mortgage (called a seller take-back mortgage) at a rate of 5%, provided the loan is paid off in full in 3 years. You expect to inherit $140,000 in 3 years, but right now all you have is $14,000, and you can afford to make payments of no more than $22,000 per year given your salary. (The loan would call for monthly payments, but assume end-of-year annual payments to simplify things.)
Required:
a. If the loan was amortized over 3 years, how large would each annual payment be? Could you afford those payments?
b. If the loan was amortized over 30 years, what would each payment be? Could you afford those payments?
c. To satisfy the seller, the 30-year mortgage loan would be written as a balloon note, which means that at the end of the third year, you would have to make the regular payment plus the remaining balance on the loan. What would the loan balance be at the end of Year 3, and what would the balloon payment be?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Given the following :
Cost of house = $140,000
Down payment = $14000
Take back mortgage = 126000 = PV
Rate (r) = 5%
Yearly payment one can afford = 22000
a. If the loan was amortized over 3 years, how large would each annual payment be? Could you afford those payments?
Number of period = 3
Using the relation:
PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n
PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-3
PMT = 6300 / (1-0.8638375)
PMT = 46,268.23
He won't be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is larger than the affordable amount of $22000
b. If the loan was amortized over 30 years, what would each payment be? Could you afford those payments?
PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n
PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-30
PMT = 6300 / (1-0.2313774)
PMT = 8196.48
He would be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is lower than the affordable amount of $22000
c. To satisfy the seller, the 30-year mortgage loan would be written as a balloon note, which means that at the end of the third year, you would have to make the regular payment plus the remaining balance on the loan. What would the loan balance be at the end of Year 3, and what would the balloon payment be?
Present value of remaining balance after the 3rd year:
Present Value (PV) = PMT[(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]
Where
PMT = periodic payment = 8196.48
r = Interest rate = 5% = 0.05
n = number of periods = 30 - 3 = 27
PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1 + 0.05)^-27) / 0.05]
PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1. 05)^-27) / 0.05]
PV = 8196.48[0.7321516 / 0.05]
PV = 120,021.32
Balloon payment :
120,021.32 + 8196.48 = 128,217.80
a. The annual payment if the Mortgage was amortized over three years is $45,315.96 (Interest + Principal)
The Mortgage payments are not affordable because his affordability funds are limited to $22,000 annually.
Annual Amortization Schedule
Beginning Balance Interest Principal Ending Balance
1 $126,000.00 $5,393.36 $39,922.60 $86,077.35
2 $86,077.35 $3,350.86 $41,965.10 $44,112.18
3 $44,112.18 $1,203.81 $44,112.15 $0.00
b. The annual payment if the Mortgage was amortized over thirty years is $8,116.80 (Interest + Principal)
The Mortgage payments are now affordable with his affordability amount of $22,000 per year.
Annual Amortization Schedule for the first three years:
Beginning Balance Interest Principal Ending Balance
1 $126,000.00 $6,257.79 $1,859.01 $124,141.04
2 $124,141.04 $6,162.68 $1,954.12 $122,186.97
3 $122,186.97 $6,062.70 $2,054.10 $120,132.93
c. Payments made by the end of the third year were $5,867.07 with a balance of $120,132.93.
Data and Calculations:
Cost of house = $140,000
Down payment = $14,000
Mortgage value = $126,000($140,000 - $14,000)
Mortgage interest rate = 5%
Affordable annual payments = $22,000
Thus, the balloon payment is always based on an agreed percentage of the loan, which is not provided here.

Oriole Products manufactures two component parts: AJ40 and AJ60. AJ40 components are being introduced currently, and AJ60 parts have been in production for several years. For the upcoming period, 1,500 units of each product are planned for manufacturing. Assume that the only relevant overhead cost is for engineering change orders (any requested changes in product design or the manufacturing process). AJ40 components are expected to require 4 change orders and AJ60 only 2. Each AJ40 requires 1 machine hour, and each AJ60 requires 1.5 machine hours. The cost of a change order is $420.
Required:
Estimate the cost of engineering change orders for AJ40 and AJ60 components if Blue uses a traditional costing method and machine hours as the allocation base.
Answer:
Total allocated cost for AJ40 $189,000
Total allocated cost for AJ60 $283,500
Total $472,500
Explanation:
Calculation to Estimate the cost of engineering change orders for AJ40 and AJ60
First step is to calculate for the Total number of change orders
AJ40 AJ60
Units planned 1,500 1,500
÷No. of change orders 4 2
=Total number of change orders 375 +750=1,125
Second step is to for the Total cost of change order
AJ40 AJ60
Units planned 1,500 1,500
×Machine hours per unit 1 1.5
=Total machine hours required 1,500 + 2,250 =3,750
Third step is to find the Total cost of change order
AJ40 AJ60
Total number of change orders 375 750
× Cost of a change order $420 $420
=Total cost of change order $157,500 $315,00
Total cost of change order=$157,500 +$315,000
=Total cost of change order = $472,500
Now let Estimate the cost of engineering change orders for AJ40 and AJ60 using Traditional system
TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
Total allocated cost for AJ40 $189,000 (472,500*1,500/3,750)
Total allocated cost for AJ60 $283,500 (472,500*2,250/3,750)
Hence,
Total allocated cost for AJ40 $189,000+Total allocated cost for AJ60 $283,500
=$472,500
Gilbert is considering purchasing the Side Steamer 3000, a higher-end steamer, which costs $12,000, and has an estimated useful life of 6 years with an estimated salvage value of $1,200. This steamer falls into the MACRS 5-years class, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. The new steamer is faster and would allow for an output expansion, so sales would rise by $2,000 per year; even so, the new machine's much greater efficiency would reduce operating expenses by $1,400 per year. To support the greater sales, the new machine would require that inventories increase by $2,900, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $700. Gilbert's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%, and its WACC is 12%.
a. Should it replace the old steamer?b. NPV of replace = $2,083.51
SHOW WORK HOW TO GET THIS ANSWER
Answer:
Explanation:
initial outlay $12,000 + ($2,900 - $700) = $14,200
depreciable value = $10,800
depreciation per year:
$2,160$3,456$2,073.60$1,244.16$1,244.16$622.08incremental revenues = $2,000 + $1,400 = $3,400
CF year 0 = -$14,200
CF year 1 = [($3,400 - $2,160) x 0.6] + $2,160 = $2,904
CF year 2 = [($3,400 - $3,456) x 0.6] + $3,456 = $3,422.40
CF year 3 = [($3,400 - $2,073.60) x 0.6] + $2,073.60 = $2,869.44
CF year 4 = [($3,400 - $1,244.16) x 0.6] + $1,244.16 = $2,537.66
CF year 5 = [($3,400 - $1,244.16) x 0.6] + $1,244.16 = $2,537.66
CF year 6 = [($3,400 - $622.08) x 0.6] + $622.08 + $1,200 + $2,200 = $5,688.83
WACC = 12%
a) the steamer should not be replaced, since the NPV is negative.
b) Using a financial calculator, NPV = -$14,200 + $13,298.29 = -$901.71

A $3.6 million state lottery pays $15,000 at the beginning of each month for 20 years. How much money must the state actually have in hand to set up the payments for this prize if money is worth 5.8%, compounded monthly
Answer:
Present Value= $2,128,538.66
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $15,000
Number of periods= 20*12= 240
Interest rate= 0.058/12= 0.00483
First, we need to calculate the future value of the monthly payments:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV={15,000*[(1.00483^240) - 1]} / 0.00483
FV= $6,765,529.2
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 6,765,529.2 / 1.00483^240
PV= $2,128,538.66

A company issued 130 shares of $100 par value common stock for $15,400 cash. The total amount of paid-in capital in excess of par is:
Answer:
$2,400
Explanation:
For par stated shares, any amount paid in excess of the par value is called paid-in capital in excess of par and is included in shareholders equity reserves.
So, from the total price remove the par value price of 130 shares to determine the paid-in capital in excess of par.
Paid-in capital in excess of par = Total Paid - Price at Par
= $15,400 - (130 shares × $100)
= $2,400
The fact that generally accepted accounting principles allow companies flexibility in choosing between certain allocation methods can make it difficult for a financial analyst to compare periodic performance from firm to firm. Suppose you were a financial analyst trying to compare the performance of two companies. Company A uses the double-declining-balance depreciation method. Company B uses the straight-line method. You have the following information taken from the 12/31/2021 year-end financial statements for Company B:
Income Statement
Depreciation expense $12,500
Balance Sheet
Assets:
Plant and equipment, at cost $125,000
Less: Accumulated depreciation (50,000)
Net $75,000
You also determine that all of the assets constituting the plant and equipment of Company B were acquired at the same time, and that all of the $125,000 represents depreciable assets. Also, all of the depreciable assets have the same useful life and residual values are zero.
Required:
a. In order to compare performance with Company A, estimate what B's depreciation expense would have been for 2021?
b. If Company B decided to switch depreciation methods in 2021 from the straight line to the double-declining-balance method, prepare the 2021 journal entry to record depreciation for the year
Answer:
a. Company B's depreciation expense for 2021 is $12,800
b. Accumulated Depreciation (Dr.) $23,800
Plant and equipment (Cr.) $23,800
Explanation:
The depreciation expense of 2021 will be $12,800. The cost of plant and equipment is $125,000.
Depreciation 2018 : $125,000 * 10% = 12,500 * 2 = $25,000
2019 : $125,000 - $25000 = $100,000 * 10% * 2 = $20,000
2020: $100,000 - $20,000 = $80,000 * 10% * 2 = $16,000
2021 : $80,000 - $16,000 = 64,000 * 10% * 2 = $12,800
Due to use, wear and tear, or obsolescence, the monetary worth of an object decreases with time. Depreciation is the term used to describe this reduction.
A.Company B's depreciation expense for 2021 is $12,800
B. Accumulated Depreciation (Dr.) $23,800
Plant and equipment (Cr.) $23,800
Solution:-
The depreciation expense of 2021 will be $12,800. The cost of plant and equipment is $125,000.
Depreciation 2018 : $125,000 * 10% = 12,500 * 2 = $25,000
2019 : $125,000 - $25000 = $100,000 * 10% * 2 = $20,000
2020: $100,000 - $20,000 = $80,000 * 10% * 2 = $16,000
2021 : $80,000 - $16,000 = 64,000 * 10% * 2 = $12,800

Target (TGT) recently earned a profit of $4.15 per share and has a P/E ratio of 23.19. Earnings have been growing at 11.5 percent per year over the past few years. If this growth continues, what would the stock price be in five years if the P/E ratio remains unchanged
Answer:
$165.85
Explanation:
Calculation for what would the stock price be in five years
First step is to calculate the EPS in 5 years
Using this formula
EPS in 5 years=EPS 0 (1+ Growth rate)^n
Let plug in the formula
EPS in 5 years=4.15*(1+11.5%)^5
EPS in 5 years=$7.1519
Now let calculate for the stock price in 5 years
Using this formula
Stock price in 5 years=P/E ratio*EPS in 5 years
Let plug in the formula
Stock price in 5 years=23.19*$7.1519
Stock price in 5 years=$165.85
Therefore what would the stock price be in five years is $165.85
On January 1, 2021, NFB Visual Aids issued $720,000 of its 20-year, 8% bonds. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. NFB Visual Aids records interest expense at the effective rate and elected the option to report these bonds at their fair value. On December 31, 2021, the fair value of the bonds was $600,000 as determined by their market value in the over-the-counter market. General (risk-free) interest rates did not change during 2021. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required:
1-a. Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2021.
1-b to 4. Prepare the necessary Journal entries.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of price of the bonds is shown below:-
Interest on Bond = Bond Face Value × Interest rate × 6 ÷ 12 months
= $720,000 × 8% × 6 ÷ 12
= $28,800
Present Value of interest payments = Interest on bond × PVAF(i%, n)
i = semi annual discounting rate = 10% × 6 ÷ 12
= 5%
n = number of semi annual periods
= 20 years × 2 periods
= 40 periods
Present Value of interest payments = $28,800 × PVAF(5%, 40)
= $28,800 × 17.15909
= $494,182
Present Value of Redemption Value = Redemption Value × PVF(5%, 40)
= $720,000 × 0.142046
= $102,273
Price of Bonds = $494,182 + $102,273
= $596,455
1-b The Journal entries are shown below:-
a. Cash Dr, 596,455
Discount on Bonds Payable Dr, $123,545
To Bonds Payable $720,000
(Being the issuance of bonds is recorded)
b. Interest Expense Dr, $29,823 (596,455 × 10% × 6 ÷ 12)
To Discount on Bonds Payable $1,023
To Cash $28,800 ($720,000 × 8% × 6 ÷ 12)
(Being the first interest payment is recorded)
c. Interest Expense Dr, $29,874 (($596,455 + $1,023) × 10% × 6 ÷ 12)
To Discount on Bonds Payable $1,074
To Cash Dr, $28,800
($720,000 × 8% × 6 ÷ 12)
(To record the second interest payment)
d. Unrealized Holding Loss Dr, 1,448
To Fair Value Adjustment $1,448
(Being adjust the bonds to their fair value is recorded)
Working Notes:
1) Bonds Payable Value after adjusting Discount
= $596,455+$1,023+$1,074
= $598,552
Fair Value of Bonds as on Dec 31 = $600,000
Fair Value adjustment amount is
= $600,000 - $598,552
= $1,448

You purchased a bond at a price of $13,100. In 15 years when the bond matures, the bond will be worth $30,000. It is exactly 7 years after you purchased the bond and you can sell the bond today for $21,300. If you hold the bond until it matures, what annual rate of return will you earn from today
Answer:
The annual rate of return is 2.10%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:
Let us assume the annual rate of return be K
K is
= {Worth of the bond - selling price of the bond today)^(1 ÷ remaining time period) - 1
= [$30,000 ÷ $21,300]^(1 ÷ 8) - 1
= 2.10%
Hence, the annual rate of return is 2.10%
