Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $120,000 to $140,000 and would decrease the current variable costs of $80 by $10 per unit. The selling price of $120 is not expected to change. Forrester's current break-even sales are $240,000 and current break-even units are 2,000. If Forrester purchases this new equipment, the revised break-even point in units would:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 2,800

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed csots= $140,000

Unitary variable cost= 80 - 10= $70

Selling price per unit= $120

To calculate the new break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 140,000 / (120 - 70)

Break-even point in units= 2,800

You have taken out a $225,000, 3/1 ARM. The initial rate of 5.8% (annual) is locked in for three years and is expected to increase to 6.5% at the end of the lock period. Calculate the initial payment on the loan. (Note: the term on this 3/1 ARM is 30 years.)

Answers

Answer:

$1,320.19

Explanation:

Loan amount = $225,000

Rate = 5.80%

Years = 30

PMT = ?

Initial payment = PMT(Rate/12, Years*12, -225,000)

Initial payment = PMT(5.80%/12, 360, -225,000)

Initial payment = 1320.185230439806

Initial payment = $1,320.19

Bryant Company has a factory machine with a book value of $93,500 and a remaining useful life of 6 years. It can be sold for $30,600. A new machine is available at a cost of $534,000. This machine will have a 6-year useful life with no salvage value. The new machine will lower annual variable manufacturing costs from $556,800 to $460,200. Prepare an analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced.

Answers

Answer:

Bryant Company

Analysis of old and new machines:

                                           Old Machine       New Machine

Annual depreciation costs   $10,833               $89,000

Savings from variable

  manufacturing costs             0                      $96,600

Net savings                          ($10,833)                $7,600

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Book value of old machine = $93,500

Remaining useful life = 6 years

Salvage value = $30,600

Depreciable amount of old machine = $62,900 ($93,500 - 30,600)

Annual Depreciation cost of old machine = $10,483 ($62,900/6)

Cost of new machine = $534,000

Useful life = 6 years

Depreciable amount of new machine = $89,000 ($534,000/6)

Reduction in variable manufacturing costs = $96,600 ($556,800 - $460,200)

Savings from new machine = $7,600

b) Conclusion: The old machine should be replaced.  It costs more to retain the old machine than it costs to replace it.  There will be a net gain of $7,600 from the new machine, from the reduction of the variable manufacturing costs from $556,800 to $460,200.

In September 2008, the stock market fell sharply and continued to perform poorly due to the financial crisis. How did this change impact GDP in the economy?

Answers

Answer:

Many people's wealth is held in stocks and as the price of stocks collapsed, they lost wealth.

Imagine that this happened to you. One day you are rich and that affects your spending habits. In a matter of few days or weeks, you lose a large portion of your wealth. So now, you are less rich or even poor. So your spending habits will be altered, i.e. you will spend less.

If you consider the economy as a whole, aggregate demand will fall, resulting in a decrease of aggregate supply, and an overall decrease of the GDP.

Dragon makes all sales on account, subject to the following collection pattern: 30% are collected in the month of sale; 60% are collected in the first month after sale; and 10% are collected in the second month after sale.

Answers

Answer: $174000

Answers

Answer:

$37,600 favorable

Explanation:

Variable overhead spending variance can be computed as;

= (Actual hours worked × Actual variable overhead rate) - ( Actual hours worked - Standard variable overhead rate)

= ( 18,800 hours × $77,700/12,000) - (18,800 hours × $4.5)

= [(18,800 × $6.5) - (18,800 × $4.5)]

= $122,200 - $84,600

= $37,600 favorable

A corporation sold 16,500 shares of its $10 par value common stock at a cash price of $13 per share. The entry to record this transaction would include: Multiple Choice A debit to Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value, Common Stock for $214,500. A credit to Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value, Common Stock for $379,500. A debit to Cash for $165,000. A credit to Common Stock for $165,000. A credit to Common Stock for $214,500.

Answers

Answer:

A credit to Common Stock for $165,000

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below

Cash (16,500 shares × $13) $214,500

    To Common stock (16,500 shares × $10) $165,000

     To Additional paid in capital in excess of par value (16,500 shares × $3)

$49,500

(being the issuance of the common stock is recorded)

Here the cash is debited as it increased the assets and credited the common stock and additional paid in capital as it increased the equity

Therefore the A credit to Common Stock for $165,000 is the correct option

On July 1, 2017, Amos Corporation granted nontransferable, nonqualified stock options to certain key employees as additional compensation. The options permit the purchase of 20,000 shares of Amos’s $1 par common stock at a price of $32 per share. On the grant date, the stock’s market value was $32 per share. The options were exercisable beginning July 1, 2021, and expire on July 1, 2025. On February 3, 2023, when the stock was selling for $53 per share, all options were exercised. Amos's tax rate is 35%. Amos has a December 31 year end for financial reporting purposes.
Required:
1. How much compensation expense should Amos record in 2017 and 2018 if the options are worth $15 per share on the grant date?
2. Compute the tax benefit that Amos will receive in 2023 when the employees exercise the options.

Answers

Answer:

1. Total compensation expenses = 20,000 * $15 = $300,000

Vesting period (From 2017-2021) = 4 years

Annual compensation expenses = Total compensation expenses / 4

Annual compensation expenses = $300,000 / 4 years

Annual compensation expenses = $75,000

a. Compensation expenses 2017 = $75,000/2

Compensation expenses 2017 = $37,500

b. Compensation expenses 2018 = $75,000

2. The spread between the grant price and exercise price is allowed as base of tax benefit.

Tax benefit = [20,000 * (53-32)] * 35%

Tax benefit = [20,000 * 21] * 35%

Tax benefit = $420,000 * 35%

Tax benefit = $147,000

Amos incurred a compensation expense of $37,500 in 2017 and $75,000 in 2018. Amos will gain $147,000 in tax benefits in 2023.

How do you compute compensation expense and tax benefit?

1.

[tex]\text{Total compensation expenses} = 20,000 \text{ x } $15 = $300,000\\\\\text{Vesting period (From 2017-2021)} = 4 \text{years}\\\\\text{Annual compensation expenses} = \text{Total compensation expenses} / 4\\\\\text{Annual compensation expenses} = $300,000 / 4 \text{years}\\\\\text{Annual compensation expenses} = $75,000\\\\\text{a. Compensation expenses} 2017 = $75,000/2\\\\\text{Compensation expenses} 2017 = $37,500\\\\\text{b. Compensation expenses} 2018 = $75,000\\\\[/tex]

2.

The difference between the grant price and the exercise price can be used as the basis for calculating the tax advantage.

[tex]\text{Tax benefit} = [20,000 \text{ x } (53-32)] \text{ x } 35%\text{Tax benefit} = [20,000 \text{ x } 21] \text{ x } 35%\text{Tax benefit} = $420,000 \text{ x } 0.35\text{Tax benefit} = $147,000[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

$9,000

Explanation:

Last year, Raphael bought a bond for $10,000 that promises to pay him $900 per year

Interest rate = $900/$1000 * 100 = 9%

This year, he can buy a bond for $10,000 that promises to pay $1,000 per year.

Interest rate = 1,000/10000 * 100 = 10%

If Raphael wants to sell his old bond, he has to lower its price in order to compensate for rise in interest rate. The bond, which he would sell, should pay 10% interest PA

=>> 900/10% * 100 = $9,000

So, the bond price is likely to be $9,000
