Suppose you've just inherited $10,000 from a relative. You're trying to decide whether to put the $10,000 in a non-interest-bearing account so that you can use it whenever you want (that is, hold it as money) or to use it to buy a U. S. Treasury bond. The opportunity cost of holding the inheritance as money depends on the interest rate on the bond. For each of the interest rates in the following table, compute the opportunity cost of holding the $10,000 as money. What does the previous analysis suggest about the market for money? The quantity of money demanded increases as the interest rate rises. The supply of money is independent of the interest rate. The quantity of money demanded decreases as the interest rate rises.

An important application of regression analysis in accounting is in the estimation of cost. by collecting data on volume and cost and using the least squares method to develop an estimated regression equation relating volume and cost, an accountant can estimate the cost associated with a particular manufacturing volume. consider the following sample of production volumes and total cost data for a manufacturing operation. production volume (units) total cost ($) 400 4000 450 5000 550 5400 600 5900 700 6400 750 7000 compute b 1 and b 0 (to 2 decimals if necessary). b 1 b 0 complete the estimated regression equation (to 2 decimals if necessary). = + x what is the variable cost per unit produced (to 1 decimal)? $ compute the coefficient of determination (to 4 decimals). note: report r 2 between 0 and 1. r 2 = what percentage of the variation in total cost can be explained by the production volume (to 2 decimals)? % the company's production schedule shows 500 units must be produced next month. what is the estimated total cost for this operation (to 2 decimals)? $

Kandon enterprises, inc., has two operating divisions; one manufactures machinery and the other breeds and sells horses. both divisions are considered separate components as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. the horse division has been unprofitable, and on november 15, 2018, kandon adopted a formal plan to sell the division. the sale was completed on april 30, 2019. at december 31, 2018, the component was considered held for sale. on december 31, 2018, the company’s fiscal year-end, the book value of the assets of the horse division was $415,000. on that date, the fair value of the assets, less costs to sell, was $350,000. the before-tax loss from operations of the division for the year was $290,000. the company’s effective tax rate is 40%. the after-tax income from continuing operations for 2018 was $550,000. required: 1. prepare a partial income statement for 2018 beginning with income from continuing operations. ignore eps disclosures. 2. prepare a partial income statement for 2018 beginning with income from continuing operations. assuming that the estimated net fair value of the horse division’s assets was $700,000, instead of $350,000. ignore eps disclosures.
