Answer:
b. A sales discount
Explanation:
Usually, companies gives sales discounts to their customers to encourage them to pay on time for goods purchased by them. The aim is to enable the customers make immediate payment upon purchase of goods instead of buying them on credit.
Most businesses would prefer receiving cash immediately their goods are sold hence create an incentive in the form of sales discounts which is meant to encourage customers make prompt payment.
Last year Janet purchased a $1,000 face value corporate bond with an 10% annual coupon rate and a 20-year maturity. At the time of the purchase, it had an expected yield to maturity of 13.84%. If Janet sold the bond today for $994.79, what rate of return would she have earned for the past year? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
33.8%
Explanation:
Purchase price of the bond will be computed using the formula below.
[tex]p=\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n} }{r} + \frac{F}{(1+r)^{n} }[/tex]
where A = annual coupon = 10% * 1000 = 100
r = yield to maturity = 0.1384
n = time to maturity = 20 years
F = face value = $1,000
p = price of the bond.
[tex]p=\frac{100(1-1.1384^{-20} }{0.1384} + \frac{1,000}{(1.1384)^{20} }\\p = 668.4721 + 74.8346\\p = 743.31[/tex]
Therefore, if Janet sold the bond a year later for $994.79,
the profit on sale = [tex]\frac{994.79}{743.31} -1=0.3383[/tex]
= 33.8% profit (rate of return).
Delphi Company uses job-order costing. It applies overhead to jobs using a predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, Delphi estimated that it would work 37,000 machine-hours and incur $222,000 in manufacturing overhead cost. The following transactions were recorded for the year: a. Raw materials were issued for use in production, $367,000 ($345,000 direct and $22,000 indirect). b. Employee costs were incurred: direct labor, $309,000; indirect labor, $44,000; and administrative salaries, $155,000. c. Factory depreciation, $175,000. d. Selling costs, $140,000. e. Manufacture overhead was applied to jobs. The actual machine hours for the year were 35,000 hours. a. Compute the total manufacturing overhead cost applied to jobs during the year.
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $210,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 222,000/37,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6 per machine hour
Now, we cal allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 6*35,000
Allocated MOH= $210,000
A bank offers 8.00% on savings accounts. What is the effective annual rate if interest is compounded semi-annually?Percentage Round to: 4 decimal places (Example: 9.2434%, % sign required. Will accept decimal format rounded to 6 decimal places (ex: 0.092434))
Answer:
Effective Annual Rate = 8.1600%
Explanation:
The effective annual rate the interest rate that is adjusted for compounding over a given period of time. It is given by the formula:
[tex]r = (1+\frac{i}{n})^n -1\\where:\\r = effective\ annual\ rate\\i = nominal\ interest\ rate\ = 8.00\% = 0.08 \\n = number\ of\ compounding\ periods\ per\ year\ = 2\ (semi-annually)[/tex]
[tex]r = (1+\frac{0.08}{2})^2 -1\\r = (1\ +\ 0.04)^2 - 1\\r = (1.04)^2 - 1\\r = 1.0816 - 1\\r = 0.0816\\r = 8.1600 \%[/tex]

During 2021, Marquis Company was encountering financial difficulties and seemed likely to default on a $300,000, 10%, four-year note dated January 1, 2019, payable to Third Bank. Interest was last paid on December 31, 2020. On December 31, 2021, Third Bank accepted $250,000 in settlement of the note. Ignoring income taxes, what amount should Marquis report as a gain from the debt restructuring in its 2021 income statement?
Answer:
$80,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Marquis should report as a gain from the debt restructuring in its 2021 income statement
Gain from the debt restructuring=$300,000 + ($300,000 x 10%) - $250,000
Gain from the debt restructuring=$300,000+$30,000-$250,000
Gain from the debt restructuring = $80,000
Therefore amount that Marquis should report as a gain from the debt restructuring in its 2021 income statement will be $80,000

By how much does GDP rise in each of the fol- lowing scenarios? Explain. (a) A computer company buys parts from a local distributor for $1 million, assembles the parts, and sells the resulting computers for $2 million. (b) A real estate agent sells a house for $200,000 that the previous owners had bought 10 years earlier for $100,000. The agent earns a commission of $6,000. (c) During a recession, the government raises unemployment benefits by $100 million. (d) A new U.S. airline purchases and imports $50 million worth of airplanes from the European company Airbus.
Answer:
a. GDP increases by $2 million. Only final good and services are included in GDP. the parts used in making the computer represents intermediate goods. Intermediate goods are not included in the calculation of GDP.
b. GDP would increase by $6000. Only goods produced in the current year are included in GDP. The house wasn't built in the current year so it would not be included in GDP. So, only the agent's fees would be included
c. 0 Transfer payments are not included in GDP
d.0. Imports would increases and net export would decrease. Also, business spending would increase. Taking these two effects together, there would be no change in GDP
Explanation:
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
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
services not rendered to oneself
Activities not reported to the government
illegal activities
sale or purchase of used products
sale or purchase of intermediate products

Cellular Access Inc., is a cellular telephone service provider that reported net operating profit after tax (or unlevered net profit) of $250 million for the most recent fiscal year. The firm had depreciation expenses of $100 million, capital expenditures of $200 million, no interest expense, and an income tax rate of 30%. Working capital increased by $10 million. Calculate the free cash flow for Cellular Access for the most recent fiscal year.
Answer: $65 million
Explanation:
The Free Cash Flow will be calculated as:
= EBIT(1-t) + Dep & Amortisation- Changes in Working Capital- Capital Expenditure
= 250(1-30%) + 100 - 200 - 10
= 250(0.7) + 100 - 200 - 10
= 175 + 100 - 210
= $65 million

you can acquire an existing business for $2 million. You are uncertain about future demand. There is a 40% chance of high demand, in which case the present value of the business will be $3 million. There is a 25% chance of moderate demand, and the associated present value is $1.5 million. Finally, there is a 35% chance of low demand, in which case the present value is $1 million. Draw a decision tree for this problem. What is the expected net present value of the business
Answer:
Expected net present value of the project = $1,925,000
Explanation:
The cost of acquiring business = $2,000,000
Expected net present value of the project = High demand NPV*High demand percent + Moderate demand NPV*Moderate demand percent + Low demand NPV*Low demand percent
Expected net present value of the project = $3,000,000 *40% + $1,500,000*25% + $1,000,000*35%
Expected net present value of the project = $1,200,000 + $375,000 + $350,000
Expected net present value of the project = $1,925,000
Conclusion: The cost of acquiring business is more than expected net present value, it is advisable not to invest in the project.
. If a T-bill promises to repay $10,000 in one year and the market interest rate is 6 percent, how much will the bill sell for in the market?
Answer:
market price = $9,433.96

Answer:
$837.11
Explanation:
The computation of the present value is shown below:
Given that
Future value = $1,000
NPER = 15 × 2 = 30
PMT = $1,000 × 7% ÷ 2 = $35
RATE = 9% ÷ 2 = 4.5%
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the present value is $837.11
The same is to be considered
Benton Company manufactures a part for its production cycle. The costs per unit for 38,000 units of the part are as follows: Direct Materials $3.00/unit Direct Labor $5.00/unit Variable Factory Overhead $3.00/unit Fixed Factory Overhead $4.00/unit Total Costs $15.00/unit The fixed factory overhead costs are unavoidable. Assume no other use for the facilities. What is the highest price Benton Company should pay for the part from an outside supplier
Answer: $418,000
Explanation:
The Fixed costs are unavoidable so even if Brenton bought from an outside supplier they would still incur it.
It is therefore not a relevant cost.
The cost of producing internally therefore is;
= 3 + 5 + 3
= $11 per unit
Cost = 38,000 * 11
= $418,000
Maximum they should pay for the part outside is $418,000. Anything more and they would be better off producing for themselves.

Hatch Corporation's target capital structure is 40% debt, 50% common stock, and 10% preferred stock. Information regarding the company's cost of capital can be summarized as follows: The company's bonds have a nominal yield to maturity of 7%. The company's preferred stock sells for $40 a share and pays an annual dividend of $4 a share. The company's common stock sells for $25 a share and is expected to pay a dividend of $2 a share at the end of the year (i.e., D1 = $2.00). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 7% a year. The company has no retained earnings. The company's tax rate is 40%. What is the company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?
Answer:
WACC = 0.1018 or 10.18%
Explanation:
The WACC or Weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can be made of one or all of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity.
The formula to calculate is as follows,
WACC = wD * tD * (1- tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each component in capital structurer represents the cost of each componentD, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and Common Equity respectively.Cost of bond = 7%
Cost of preferred stock = 4/40 = 10%
Cost of Common Equity :
25 = 2 / (r - 0.07)
25 * (r - 0.07) = 2
25r - 1.75 = 2
25r = 2 + 1.75
r = 3.75 / 25
r = 0.15 or 15%
WACC = 0.4 * 0.07 * (1 - 0.4) + 0.1 * 0.1 + 0.5 * 0.15
WACC = 0.1018 or 10.18%
Yoshi Co.'s 12/31/2020 inventory on a FIFO basis was $980,000. The following information is available: Estimated selling price is $1,020,000; Estimated cost of disposal is $40,000; Normal profit margin is $120,000; and Current replacement cost is $900,000. At 12/31/2020, assuming Yoshi uses the loss method, what amount of loss should Yoshi record from applying LCM
Answer:
Yoshi Co.
The amount of loss that Yoshi Co. should record from applying LCM (the lower of Cost or Market price) is:
$40,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
FIFO inventory on 12/31/2020 = $980,000
Current replacement cost = $900,000
Net realizable value = $980,000 ($1,020,000 - $40,000)
Normal profit margin = $120,000
Loss to be recognized based on current replacement cost = FIFO purchase cost minus Current replacement cost
= $80,000 ($980,000 - $900,000)
b) Under the US GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) of prudence and conservatism, the loss of $80,000 must be recognized in the current period, since the inventory will be booked at $900,000, its current replacement cost, which is lower than the FIFO purchase cost of $980,000.
Wyle Co. has $3.9 million of debt, $1 million of preferred stock, and $2.1 million of common equity. What would be its weight on preferred stock
Answer:
Weight of Preferred stock = 0.1428571429 or 14.28571429% rounded off to 14.29%
Explanation:
The capital structure of a business is made up of at least one or at most all of the following components namely Debt, Preferred Stock and Common Equity. The ratio in which each of these components form the capital structure might differ from business to business. The weightage of each component in the capital structure can be calculated by dividing the market value of each component by the sum of the market value of all the components.
Weight of a component = Market Value of component / Sum of market value of all components
Weight of Preferred stock = 1,000,000 / (3,900,000 + 1,000,000 + 2,100,000)
Weight of Preferred stock = 0.1428571429 or 14.28571429% rounded off to 14.29%

A company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $12.90 per unit and variable selling and administrative expenses are $3.90 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overhead totals $45,000 and fixed selling and administration expenses total $49,000. Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 4,900 units and sales of 4,050 units, the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be:
Answer:
$10,965
Explanation:
Computation for the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing
First step is to find the Units in ending inventory
Using this formula
Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory + Units produced−Units sold
Let plug in the formula
Units in ending inventory= 0 units + 4,900 units−4,050 units
Units in ending inventory = 850 units
Last step is to find the Value of ending inventory under variable costing
Using this formula
Value of ending inventory under variable costing = Unit in ending inventory × Variable production cost
Let plug in the formula
Value of ending inventory under variable costing= 850 units × $12.90 per unit
Value of ending inventory under variable costing = $10,965
Therefore the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be $10,965
Hlleym762 Inc. is a merchandising company. Last month the company's cost of goods sold was $62,600. The company's beginning merchandise inventory was $16,600 and its ending merchandise inventory was $25,200. What was the total amount of the company's merchandise purchases for the month?
Answer:
Purchases = $71200
Explanation:
Using the Cost of Goods Section from the Income statement, we can calculate the Purchases of merchandise for the month. The cost of Goods sold is calculated as follows,
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
As we already have values for Cost of Goods Sold, Opening inventory and closing inventory, we can plug the values in the above formula to calculate the value of purchases.
62600 = 16600 + Purchases - 25200
62600 + 25200 - 16600 = Purchases
Purchases = $71200

[Same investments as the prior question] Suppose two local start-ups are raising funding by issuing shares of equity at $10,000 per share. One start-up is a whiskey distillery; the other is a beer brewery. You estimate the expected returns on your investment to be 50% over five years in both cases. You also believe that the likelihood of being paid out $20,000 per share is greater with the distillery than with the brewery. Suppose now that you hold a portfolio of many other risky assets, and that this would be your N 1 investment. Which investment do you prefer to make, the distillery or the brewery
Answer:
you should purchase the brewery's stock
Explanation:
First of all, as investors we should always try to maximize our returns while avoiding risks. It is really hard to balance both, but we must compare stocks to see which may represent a higher gain while posing the lesser or same risk.
Initial investment in each = $10,000 (equal for both)expected returns over 5 years = $5,000 (equal for both)but there is a higher possibility of the distillery's stock being more valuable, and that makes a difference.Both stocks seem equally risky, but they are not. When you calculate expected returns, you multiply the possible returns by their probability. I'm not sure how they calculated the expected returns of the above stocks, but the following can help you understand my point:
stock B return probability expected return
great 100% 25% 25%
normal 50% 50% 25%
bad 0% 25% 0%
total 100% 50%
stock D return probability expected return
great 100% 30% 30%
normal 50% 40% 20%
bad 0% 30% 0%
total 100% 50%
Both stocks have the same expected return, but stock B is less risky because the chance of being a bad investment is lower.
Some organizations take collaboration so seriously that they are changing the traditional office layout and replacing cubicles with low walls or no walls between desks. Many are creating small, informal areas designed to encourage spontaneous discussion and problem-solving. This is an example of which concept
Question options:
a. Cooperative phalanxes
b. Collaborative groups
c. Cooperative posses
d. Collaborative teams
Answer:
d. Collaborative teams
Explanation:
The above is examplary of Collaborative teams. Collaborative teams are groups of individuals in the workplace that share a common goal and then work together and share ideas, knowledge and skills to accomplish these goals. Companies are increasingly encouraging collaborative teams by creating an atmosphere whereby their employees are able to communicate easily to share ideas and work fast and spontaneously towards working out solutions. Apart from physical barriers that might inhibit smooth communication for collaborative teams in the office, companies have also started increasingly investing into virtual teams whereby an employee is able to communicate, share ideas and work together in a collaborative fashion with a colleague in another location.
The Lexington Partnership has a depreciable business asset (personal property) that it originally purchased for $81,800. The asset now has an adjusted basis of $49,080 and a market value of $98,160. The partnership has no other potential hot assets. Ambroz sells his 25% interest in the partnership. a. How much is Lexington's depreciation recapture potential
Answer:
Question b: How much ordinary income does Ambroz recognize when he sells this partnership interest?
a. Since the market value is more than its original cost, therefore, the completed depreciation can be potentially recaptured
Lexington's depreciation recapture potential = $81,800 - $49,080
Lexington's depreciation recapture potential = $32,720
b. Ambroz recognizes Ordinary income of: $32,720*25% = $8180
The theory of the term structure of interest rates, which suggests that long-term rates are determined by the average of short-term rates expected over the time that a long-term bond is outstanding, is the
Answer:
Expectations Theory
Explanation:
Victor Vroom's Expectancy Theory deals with motivation and management. Vroom's theory assumes that behaviour is a result of conscious choices among alternatives. The goal of options is to maximize pleasure and minimize suffering. Along with Edouard Lawler and Lyman Porter, Vroom suggested that the relationship between people's behaviour at work and their goals was not as straightforward as other scientists had first imagined it. Vroom realized that employee performance is based on different factors such as personality, skills, knowledge, experience and abilities.
Expectation theory states that people have different sets of goals and can be motivated if they have certain expectations.
EXPECTATIONS OF THE THEORY OF EXPECTATIONS include the following:
There is a positive correlation between effort and performance.The favourable performance will result in a desirable reward.The reward will satisfy a critical need.The desire to satisfy the need is strong enough to make an effort meaningful.On April 1, 2020, the City of Southern Ponds issued $5,000,000 in 4% general obligation, tax supported bonds at 101 for the purpose of constructing a new police station. The premium was transferred to a debt service fund. A total of $4,990,000 was used to construct the police station, which was completed before December 31, 2020, the end of the fiscal year. The remaining funds were transferred to the debt service fund. The bonds were dated April 1, 2020, and paid interest on October 1 and April 1. The first of 20 equal annual principal payments of $250,000 is due April 1, 2021. In addition to reporting Bonds Payable and (unamortized) Bond Premium in the government-wide Statement of Net Position, how would the bond sale be reported
Answer:
$100,000
$350,000
Explanation:
The bond sale be reported as debt service expenditures for 2020 and 2021 can be calculated as follows
The Amount would be reported as debt service expenditures for 2020
= $5,000,000 x 4% x 1/2 year
= $100,000
The amount would be reported as debt service expenditures for 2021
= $5,000,000 x 4% + $250,000
= $350,000
