Explanation:
Suppose your company needs $43 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debt-equity ratio is .65. The flotation cost for new equity is 6 percent and the flotation cost for debt is 2 percent. Your boss has decided to fund the project by borrowing money because the flotation costs are lower and the needed funds are relatively small. a. What do you think about the rationale behind borrowing the entire amount?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Debt = 0.65
Weight = 39.39%
Cost for debt = 2%
Product = 39.39% × 2%
= 0.3939 × 0.02
= 0.007878
Equity = 1.00
Weight = 60.61%
Cost for equity = 6%
Product = 60.61% × 6%
= 0.6061 × 0.06
= 0.036366
Weighted average floatation cost:
= 0.007878 + 0.036366
= 0.044244
= 4.42%
The true cost of the building will then be:
= Funds needed / (1 - Floatation cost)
= $43,000,000 / (1 - 0.044244)
= $43,000,000 / 0.955756
= $44,990,562
Factor Weight A B C
Convenience 0.15 85 85 82
Parking facilities 0.20 70 91 91
Display area 0.18 87 97 90
Shopper traffic 0.27 95 90 92

Using the above factor ratings, calculate the composite score for each location.
Answer and Explanation:
The composite score for each location is as follows;
The Composite score for Location A is
= 85 × 0.15 + 70 × 0.2 + 87 × 0.18 + 0.27 × 95 + 86 × 0.1 + 88 × 0.1
= 85.7
= 86
The Composite score for Location B is
= 85 × 0.15 + 91 × 0.2 + 97 × 0.18 + 90 × 0.27 + 90 × 0.1 + 0.1 ×92
= 90.91
= 91
The Composite score for Location C is
= 82 × 0.15 + 91 × 0.2 + 90 × 0.18 + 92 × 0.27 + 97 × 0.1 + 0.1 ×84
= 89.64
= 90

Your healthy 63-year-old neighbor is about to retire and comes to you for advice. From talking with her, you find out she was planning on taking all the money out of her company’s retirement plan and investing it in bond mutual funds and money market funds. What advice should you give her? Reilly, Frank K.; Brown, Keith C.. Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management (Text Only) (p. 56). Cengage Textbook. Kindle Edition.
Answer:
Both mutual funds and money market funds are similar in the sense that they pool money from several investors in a variety of instruments. The difference is that money market funds pool the money in very liquid, short-term securities, while mutual funds do the same but in less liquid, longer-term securities.
The 63-year-old neighbor should therefore split the money around 60/40, 60% of the funds for mutual funds, in order to have long-term security, and 40% in the money market funds, in order to have quick cash available when needed.

Billie Bob purchased a used camera (five-year property) for use in his sole proprietorship in the prior year. The basis of the camera was $2,400. Billie Bob used the camera in his business 60 percent of the time during the first year. During the second year, Billie Bob used the camera 40 percent for business use. Calculate Billie Bob's depreciation deduction during the second year, assuming the sole proprietorship had a loss during the year.
Answer:
Billie Bob
Depreciation deduction during the second year is:
$192.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Property basis value = $2,400
Useful life = 5 years
Depreciable rate per year = $2,400/5 = $480
Depreciation deduction during the second year = $480 * 40% = $192
b) The depreciation deduction for year 2 is limited to the 40% business use. This implies that Billie Bob cannot claim the 100% depreciation of $480 for the property since he could only use it 40% for his business.
Jamie is single. In 2020, she reported $108,000 of taxable income, including a long-term capital gain of $5,800. What is her gross tax liability? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) (Use the tax rate schedules, long-term capital gains tax brackets.)
a. $19.478
b. $20143
c. $18,728
d. 516 200
Answer:
$19,478
Explanation:
Computation of tax liability
i. Total income excluding LTC gain = 108,000 - 5,800 = 102,200
ii. Tax on 102,200 as per single tax schedule = 14605.5+((102200-85525)*24%) = 18607.50
iii. Tax on LTC gain at 15% = 5800 * 15% = 870
So, Gross Tax liability = $18607.50 + $870 = $19477.50 = $19,478
Note: As per Long term capital gain schedule
Doing the right task is known in management as what
Answer:
Doing the right task is known in management as performance.
Explanation:
Management ensures that the right tasks are performed by coordinating the various activities that help it to achieve goals. It also plans the right tasks to be carried out in order to achieve set goals and objectives. In doing all these, it also considers the cost and benefit to be incurred and derived respectively from executing its responsibilities. Management is always interested in minimizing costs while maximizing benefits. Management is also concerned with efficiency, by which it minimizes the wastage of resources (such as time, money, and efforts) and ensures optimum utilization of all its resources.
The process for applying for a work permit at the Manchester department of labor is as follows. First, the administrator fills out an application (5 minutes) and takes a picture (1 minute). Then, a clerk enters the information and processes the permit (5 minutes). There are two administrators and three clerks. If the number of licenses per hour for the administrators is 16 and the number of licenses per hour for the clerks is 20.57, what is the hourly service rate for administrators
Answer:
the hourly service rate is 10
Explanation:
The computation of the hourly service rate for the administrator is shown below:

In 2017, Kerry Corp's financial statement showed accrued losses on disposal of unused plant facilities of $3,600,000. The facilities were sold in December 2018 and a $3,600,000 loss was recognized for tax purposes then. Also in 2018, Kerry Corp's paid $150,000 for a two-year life insurance policy for their CEO Kerry, and the company was the beneficiary. Assuming that the enacted tax rate is 35% in both 2017 and 2018.
Question: the amount reported as net deferred income taxes on Kerry's balance sheet at December 31, 2017 should be an asset or liability?
Answer:
$1,260,000 Asset
Explanation:
The amount that Kerry Corp should report is as follows:
Amount to be reported = $3,600,000 * 35% = $1,260,000 asset.
Deferred tax arises because of temporary differences which results in future deductible amount. Future deductible amount leads to reduce taxable income and will provide future economic benefits of the company.
Clover Corporation uses a standard costing system in which variable manufacturing overhead is assigned to production on the basis of the number of machine hours. The following data pertain to one month's operations:
Standard machine hours allowed for actual production: 3,550 MH
Actual machine hours for the month: 4,000 MH
Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs incurred: $ 80,000
Variable overhead spending variance: $ 5,450 Unfavorable
What is variable overhead rate variance?
A. S 9,450.00 unfavorable
B. S9,450.00 favorable
C. 4,000.00 unfavorable
D. 4,000.00 favorable
E. Not determinable
Answer:
D. 4,000.00 favorable
Explanation:
The formula for variable overhead spending variance provided below gives a clue on deriving the correct option.
variable overhead spending variance=actual variable spending overhead-budgeted variable spending overhead.
$5450=$ 80,000-budgeted variable spending overhead
budgeted variable spending overhead=$80,000-$5450=$74550
standard overhead rate=budgeted variable spending overhead/Standard machine hours allowed for actual production
standard overhead rate=$74550 /3550=$21
variable overhead rate variance=( standard rate* Actual machine hrs)-(actual rate*Actual machine hrs)
actual rate=Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs incurred/Actual machine hours for the month=$80,000/4000=$20
variable overhead rate variance=($21*4000)-($20*4000)=$4000(favorable since actual is lower than standard,hence, cost savings)
The following information was available from the inventory records of Sheffield Corp. for January: Units Unit Cost Total Cost Balance at January 1 9200 $9.73 $89516 Purchases: January 6 6400 10.31 65984 January 26 7900 10.71 84609 Sales January 7 (7700 ) January 31 (11300 ) Balance at January 31 4500 Assuming that Sheffield does not maintain perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the weighted-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar
Answer:
$45,990
Explanation:
The Weighted Average Cost Method, calculates a new Unit Cost with every purchase that is made. This is applicable to perpetual Inventory method. In this case we are required to use the periodic Inventory method (Sheffield does not maintain perpetual inventory records). Thus our Unit Cost is calculated from Inventory available for Sale.
Step 1
Units Available For Sales Calculation :
Opening Balance 9,200
Add Purchases (6,400 + 7,900) 14,300
Units Available for Sale 23,500
Less Units Sold (7700 + 11300) (19,000)
Ending Inventory Units 4,500
Step 2
Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Units Available for Sale
= ($89,516 + $65,984 + $84,609) ÷ 23,500
= $10.22
Step 3
Ending Inventory = Units in Stock × Unit Cost
= 4,500 × $10.22
= $45,990
Smart Industries leases equipment on January 1, 2016. The finance lease has an 11-year term, and an implicit rate of 5%. The equipment has a list price of $300,000 and the lease agreement requires a $20,000 down payment when the lease is signed plus 10 annual payments of $36,261.28 on December 31 of each year of the lease. After Smart Industries makes its payment on December 31, 2018, what is its remaining lease obligation (carrying value) for the equipment
Answer:
$234,364.37
Explanation:
Lease obligation = Present value of remaining Lease payment
Present Value Of An Annuity = C*[1-(1+i)^-n]/i]
Present Value of Annuity = $36261.28 * [1-(1+0.05)^-8 /0.05]
Present Value of Annuity = $36261.28 * [1-(1.05)^-8 /0.05]
Present Value of Annuity = $36261.28 * [(0.3232)] /0.05
Present Value of Annuity = $234,364.37
Hence, its remaining lease obligation (carrying value) for the equipment is $234,364.37

The following is a TRUE statement about inventory within a continuous review system: A. When holding costs increase, Economic Order Quantity decreases B. When service level decreases, Economic Order Quantity decreases C. When demand increases, Economic Order Quantity decreases D. When ordering or setup costs increase, Economic Order Quantity decreases E. When holding costs decrease, Economic Order Quantity decreases
Answer:
A. When holding costs increase, Economic Order Quantity decreases
Explanation:
The answer will be attain through the following illustration
Suppose, Demand = 1000 units, Ordering cost = $10, Holding cost = $0.50
Economic Order Quantity = √2 * 1000 Units * $10 / $0.50
Economic Order Quantity = √40000
Economic Order Quantity= 200 units
Assume, there is increase of holding cost to $1.50
Economic Order Quantity = √2 * 1000 Units * $10 / $1.50
Economic Order Quantity = √13333
Economic Order Quantity = 116 unit
Therefore, when holding costs increase, Economic Order Quantity decreases.
Inventory is termed as the stock of the goods and services available for the consumption of the consumers or the customers. It is referred as the management of the goods and services as per the demand of the customers in the market.
The true statement about inventory within a continuous review system is A. When holding costs increase, Economic Order Quantity decreases.
This can be illustrated with the specific example as below:
Let, Demand = 1000 units, Ordering cost = $10, Holding cost = $0.50
Economic Order Quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2} \times 1000 \:Units \times\frac{\$10 }{\$0.50}[/tex]
Economic Order Quantity = √40000
Economic Order Quantity= 200 units
Assume that there has been an increase in holding cost to $1.50
Economic Order Quantity = [tex]\sqrt[]{2} \times 1000 \:Units \times\frac{ \$10}{ \$1.50}[/tex]
Economic Order Quantity = √13333
Economic Order Quantity = 116 units
Therefore, when holding costs increase, Economic Order Quantity decreases.

(lump sum) now 3. (lump sum) years from now Calculate the present value of each scenario using % interest rate. Which scenario yields the highest present value? Would your preference change if you used a % interest rate?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. In the case when the rate of interest is 6%
So, the present value is
1. For at the end of eight years, the present value of $7,000 is
= $7,000 × 6.20979
= $434,68.53 or $43,469
2. The lumpsum now is $45,000
3. The eight years from now is
= $75,000 × 0.62741
= $47,00,55.75 or $47,056
Thus, the highest present value = $47,056
2. In the case when the rate of interest is 12%
1. For at the end of eight years, the present value of $7,000 is
= $7,000 × 4.96764
= $34,773.48 or $34,773
2. The lumpsum now is $45,000
3. The eight years from now is
= $75,000 × 0.40388
= $30,291
Thus, the highest present value = $45,000

The present value factor for 5 years and 9% is 0.6499. $fill in the blank 2
Answer:
Rivera
a. Rivera's civil fraud penalty is:
$5,000 ($45,000 - $40,000)
b. Present value of Rivera's penalty is:
$3,249.50 ($5,000 * 0.6499)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Income tax underpayment = $45,000
Underpayment due to fraud = $40,000
Civil fraud penalty = $5,000 ($45,000 - 40,000)
Rate of return = 9%
Number of years = 5 years
Present value factor = 0.6499
b) The present value of the penalty represents the $5,000 discounted to its present value using the discount factor of 0.6499. This results into $3,249.50 after 5 years at an interest rate of 9% per annum.

Analyze the following eight ratios for PNB’s financial statements:
Earning Assets, Return on Assets, Total Operating Income, Asset Utilization, Net Interest Margin, Spread, Overhead Efficiency, and Tax Ratios.
Answer:
Earning Assets ratio = Earning Assets/Total assets
Total asset = 24,883: Earning Assets = 1890 + 3680 + 1988 + 16145 = 23703
Earning Assets ratio = 23703 / 24,883
Earning Assets ratio = 0.9525781
Earning Assets ratio = 95.25%
Return on Assets = Net income / Total assets
Return on Assets = 860 / 24,883
Return on Assets = 0.034561748985251
Return on Assets = 3.456%
Total Operating Income = Operating income / Interest income
Total Operating Income = 1075 / 2945
Total Operating Income = 0.365025467
Total Operating Income = 36.50%
Net Interest Margin = (Interest income - Interest expenses) / Average earnin asset
Net Interest Margin = (2,945-1,634) / 23,703
Net Interest Margin = 1,311 / 23,703
Net Interest Margin = 0.0553094544994305
Net Interest Margin = 5.53%
Assets utilization ratio = Revenue / Total assets
Assets utilization ratio = 2,945 / 24,883
Assets utilization ratio = 0.1183538962343769
Assets utilization ratio = 11.84%
Overhead efficiency ratio = 281 / 3,130
Overhead efficiency ratio = 0.089776357827476
Overhead efficiency ratio = 8.98%
Tax ratio = Tax expenses / Income
Tax ratio = 215 / 1,075

garcia company has 11,600 units of its product that were produced last year at a total cost of $174,000. the units were damaged in a rainstorm because the warehouse where they were stored developed a leak in the roof. garcia can sell the units as is for $2 each or it can repair the units at a total cost of $19,600 and then sell them for $5 each. calculate the incremental net income if the units are repaired
Answer:
If the company repairs the units, income will increase by $15,200.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units= 11,600
Garcia can sell the units as is for $2 each or, it can repair the units at a total cost of $19,600 and then sell them for $5 each.
We will not take into account the original cost of production because they remain constant in both options.
Sell as-is:
Effect on income= 11,600*2= $23,200
Repair:
Effect on income= 11,600*5 - 19,600= $38,400
If the company repairs the units, income will increase by $15,200.
Germany is capital abundant country and Japan is labor abundant country. If computers are produced mostly by capital and beer is produced mostly by labor, the H-O model predicts that Question 22 options: Japan will export computers in exchange for beer. Germany will export computers in exchange for beer. Germany is too small to be of economic interest to Japan. Computers and beer don't mix, so trade cannot increase either country's well-being.
Answer:
If computers are produced mostly by capital and beer is produced mostly by labor, the H-O model predicts that
Germany will export computers in exchange for beer.
Explanation:
The H-O model or Heckscher-Ohlin theory is an economic model about the comparative advantages of nations in international trade. The model tries to explain the equilibrium of trade existing between two countries that have varying specialties and natural resources. According to the H-O model, countries export more goods and services for which they have plenty resources than they do for goods and services for which they have scarce resources. For example, if a country has capital in abundance, it will export more of capital-intensive products while it will import labor-intensive products, because it has scarce labor resources.
Question 2. Suppose the mean age of video game players is 28, the standard deviation is 9 years, and the distribution is bell shaped. To assist a video game company’s marketing department in obtaining demographics to increase sales, determine the proportion of players who are
a. between 19 and 28
b. between 28 and 37
c. older than 37
Answer:
0.34134 ; 0.84134; 0.15866
Explanation:
Given that:
Mean (m) = 28
Standard deviation (s) = 9
Proportion of players;
a. between 19 and 28
P(x < 28) - P(x < 19)
Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation
[Z = (28 - 28) / 9] - [Z = (19 - 28) /9]
P(Z < 0) - P(Z < - 1)
0.5 - 0.15866 [Z probability calculator]
= 0.34134
b. between 28 and 37
P(x < 37) - P(x < 28)
Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation
[Z = (37 - 28) / 9] - [Z = (28 - 28) /9]
P(Z < 1) - P(Z < 0)
0.84134 - 0 [Z probability calculator]
= 0.84134
c. older than 37
P(x > 37)
Z = (x - m) / s
Z = (37 - 28) / 9
Z = 9/9 = 1
P(Z > 1) = 1 - P(Z < 1)
P(Z > 1) = 1 - 0.84134
P(Z > 1) = 1 - 0.84134
P(Z > 1) = 0.15866
During her womanhood ceremony, Dasheena Cochise spends 4 days being tested and ultimately being renamed and remade as a member of her community. Which of the following is not true of this ceremony
A. it is a rite of passage
B. it reproduces a social order
C. it translates beliefs into action
D. it communicates values through symbols
E. it affirms sacred cycles (including life cycles)
F. it is essentially about the individual rather than the community
Answer:
The statement that is not true of this ceremony is:
F. it is essentially about the individual rather than the community
Explanation:
The focus of this communal rite of passage is not the individual but the community because during the rite, the sense of the individual is replaced by the sense of the community. It instils in the initiates a sense that they are no longer individuals but members of the community with some rights and privileges. Community values are communicated through a sophisticated system of beliefs and practices that affirm sacred cycles.
