Answer:
Bond Price= 106.77
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Face value= 100
Coupon= 100*0.05= 5
Yield To Maturity= 0.035
Years to maturity= 5 years
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 5*{[1 - (1.035^-5)] / 0.035} + [100/(1.035^5)]
Bond Price= 22.57 + 84.2
Bond Price= 106.77
Blue Spruce Corp. reported net income of $377000 for the year. During the year, accounts receivable increased by $27000, accounts payable decreased by $12000 and depreciation expense of $59000 was recorded. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year is
Answer:
The correct solution is "$397000".
Explanation:
Given:
Net income,
= $377000
Depreciation,
= $59000
Accounts receivable increase,
= $27000
Accounts payable decreased,
= $12000
Now,
From operating activities, the cash flow will be:
= [tex]Net \ income+ Depreciation-Account \ receivable \ increase-Accounts \ payable \ decrease[/tex]By putting the values, we get
= [tex]377000 + 59000 - 27000 - 12000[/tex]
= [tex]397000[/tex] ($)

The board of directors of Synergie Incorporation discussed a few goals for the new fiscal year. The chief goals included maximizing total sales revenue and improving the overall market position of the firm. These goals are categorized as:
Answer: offensive
Explanation:
Offensive goals are the goals that maximize sales revenue, increase long term growth and profit, improve market position and take advantage of economics of scale.

Corporations differ from partnerships and other forms of business association in two ways. One of these is that:________.
a. they are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.
b. they are formed simply by an agreement entered into among their members.
c. they must be publicly registered or in some way officially acknowledged by the law.
d. their shareholders are entitled to their share of the company's profits as soon as they are ascertained or determined.
Answer: c. they must be publicly registered or in some way officially acknowledged by the law.
Explanation:
Corporations tend to have many shareholders who would get hurt if the company fails and for this reason they are regulated by the law. They must be publicly registered to allow people to purchase and sell shares and they must have the official acknowledgement of the law.
The formation of a corporation can be complicated and require a relatively high number of legal processes and corporations are not regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.
Also, even though shareholders are technically entitled to the company's profits, they don't get to collect it immediately because the company needs money to function and grow.
1-a. How much will net operating income increase (decrease) per month if the monthly advertising budget increases by $8,400, the monthly sales volume increases by 100 units, and the total monthly sales increase by $9,500? 1-b. Should the advertising budget be increased?
Answer:
a. Income before advertising budget increase:
= Contribution margin - Fixed costs
= (38 * 3,600) - 79,000
= $57,800
Income after advertising budget increases:
= Sales - Variable expenses - Fixed expenses
Sales = (3,600 + 100 units) * 95 per unit
= $351,500
Variable expenses = 60% * 351,500
= $210,900
Fixed expenses = 79,000 + 8,400 advertising
= $87,400
Income = 351,500 - 210,900 - 87,400
= $53,200
b. Income decreased with the increase in advertising so Advertising budget should not be increased.

Explanation:
Consider a stock priced at $30 with a standard deviation of 0.3. The risk-free rate is 0.05. There are put and call options available at exercise prices of 30 and a time to expiration of six months. The calls are priced at $2.89 and the puts cost $2.15. There are no dividends on the stock and the options are European. Assume that all transactions consist of 100 shares or one contract (100 options). Suppose the investor constructed a covered call. At expiration the stock price is $27. What is the investor's profit
Answer:
-$11
Explanation:
Covered Call involves Buy stocks and Sell call options
Earning $2.89 by selling call. So, at stock price of $27, the payoff from options is $2.89 per option
Options Profits = $2.89 * 100
Options Profits = $289
Profit of stock = ($27 - $30) * 100
Profit of stock = -$300
Investor Net Profit = Profit of stock + Options Profits
Investor Net Profit = -$300 + $289
Investor Net Profit = -$11

Explanation:
Carstow uses the periodic inventory method. (In the periodic method it is assumed that all sales occur the last day of the accounting period - or after all purchases during the period.) Carstow had the following inventory transactions in May, of the current year. On May 1, Carstow had 250 units in inventory that cost $8 each. On May 14, Carstow purchased 800 units at $10 each. On May 20, Carstow purchased 60 units at $13 each. On May 24, Carstow purchased 110 units at $14 each. Carstow sold 840 units on May 28th for $28 each. Do a computation for items 1-6 in the left column. Then, match the computations to the description. There may be extra choices in the right column that will not be used. Round the weighted average cost per unit to the nearest penny for those computations. (Final answer should be rounded to the nearest dollar.)
1. Sales revenue
2. Total cost of goods available for sale during the period
3. Cost of goods sold under FIFO
4. Cost of goods sold under LIFO
5. Cost of ending inventory under LIFO
6. Cost of goods sold under weighted average
A. $3,300
B. $3,838
C. $4,420
D. $7,900
E. $8,484
F. $9,020
G. $12,320
H. $23,520
Answer:
Carstow Inc.
1. Sales revenue = H. $23,520
2. Total cost of goods available for sale during the period = G. $12,320
3. Cost of goods sold under FIFO = D. $7,900
4. Cost of goods sold under LIFO = F. $9,020
5. Cost of ending inventory under LIFO = A. $3,300
6. Cost of goods sold under weighted average = E. $8,484
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date Description Units Unit Cost Total
May 1 Beginning inventory 250 $8 $2,000
May 14 Purchase 800 $10 8,000
May 20 Purchase 60 $13 780
May 24 Purchase 110 $14 1,540
May 28 Total units/costs 1,220 $12,320
May 28 Sales 840 $28
May 28 Ending inventory 380
Sales revenue = $23,520 (840 * $28)
FIFO:
Cost of goods sold = $7,900 (250 * $8 + 590 * $10)
Ending inventory = $4,420 ($12,320 - $7,900)
LIFO:
Ending inventory = $3,300 ($250 * $8 + 130 * $10)
Cost of goods sold = $9,020 (12,320 - $3,300)
Weighted average costs:
Cost of goods available for sale = $12,320
Total units available for sale = 1,220
Unit cost of goods = $10.10 ($12,320/1,220)
Cost of goods sold = $8,484 (840 * $10.10)
Gantner Company had the following department information about physical units and percentage of completion: Physical Units Work in process, May 1 (60%) 60000 Completed and transferred out 180000 Work in process, May 31 (40%) 50000 If all materials are added at the beginning of the production process, what is the total number of equivalent units for materials during May
Answer:
200,000 units by Weighted Average Cost Method
164,000 units by FIFO Method
Explanation:
1. Where Weighted Average Cost Method is used.
Assuming that Gantner Company uses the Weighted Average Cost Method, the total number of equivalent units for materials during May can be determined as follows :
Completed and transferred out (180000 x 100) 180,000
Ending Work In Process (50000 x 40%) 20,000
Total equivalent units for materials 200,000
1. FIFO Method is used.
Assuming that Gantner Company uses the FIFO Cost Method, the total number of equivalent units for materials during May can be determined as follows :
To Complete Opening Work in Process (60000 x 40%) 24,000
Completed and transferred out (180000 - 60,000) x 100% 120,000
Ending Work In Process (50000 x 40%) 20,000
Total equivalent units for materials 164,000
Identify the following is structural, frictional, cyclical and seasonal employment.
a. Andrew recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job using a general ledger (paper and pencil), and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company.
b. Sam recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job a using a general ledger and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company.
c. Teresa just graduated from college and is looking for a full time position with an investment banking firm.
d. A recent recession has reduced the number visitors to a local theme park. The park has had to lay off many of its employee, including Beth.
Answer:
Frictional unemployment occurs when people decided to leave their jobs and look for another or people join the labor force for the first time.
Structural unemployment arises from a situation where there is a mismatch between the skills needed in an economy and the skills possessed by people. Happens a lot when employees need to adapt to new technology.
Cyclical unemployment happens as a result of the economy either growing or shrinking.
a. Andrew recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job using a general ledger (paper and pencil), and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company. ⇒ STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT.
b. Sam recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job a using a general ledger and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company. ⇒ STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT.
c. Teresa just graduated from college and is looking for a full time position with an investment banking firm. ⇒ FRICTIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT.
d. A recent recession has reduced the number visitors to a local theme park. The park has had to lay off many of its employee, including Beth. ⇒ CYCLICAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

Calculate the weighted-average unit cost. (Round answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.125.)
Weighted-average unit cost $____
Calculate the ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO, LIFO and average-cost methods. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
FIFO LIFO Average Cost
$____ $____ $_______
Answer:
a. Weighted-average unit cost = $9.092
b. We have:
Ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO method = $290
Ending inventory at May 31 using the LIFO method = $232
Ending inventory at May 31 using the average-cost method = $264
Explanation:
a. Calculate the weighted-average unit cost. (Round answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.125.)
Weighted-average unit cost = Total Cost of units of inventory available for sale / Total units of units of inventory available for sale = $891 / 98 = $9.092
b. Calculate the ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO, LIFO and average-cost methods. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
Ending inventory in units = Total units of units of inventory available for sale – Units sold = 98 - 69 = 29
Therefore, we have:
Ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO method = Ending inventory in units * Unit cost of purchases on May 24 = 29 * $10 = $290
Ending inventory at May 31 using the LIFO method = Ending inventory in units * Unit cost of inventory on May 1 = 29 * $8 = $232
Ending inventory at May 31 using the average-cost method = Ending inventory in units * Weighted-average unit cost = 29 * $9.092 = $264
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the accounting rule book. In the following scenario, please indicate which GAAP rule is being violated and why. Follow up with comments about why you think the rule exits and is important.
Scenario: XYZ Inc. was in the process of preparing its financial statements. XYZ is hoping to get approved for a loan from the First National Big Bank. XYZ's sole shareholder Slick, notices that the cash listed on the balance sheet is $4,000. Slick suggests that the balance sheet should include his personal current cash balance of $100,000. Slick convinces the company accountant to change cash on XYZ's balance sheet to $104,000. After all, he would gladly put his personal cash in if needed.
Answer: Business Entity Concept
Explanation:
The Business entity concept posits that the owners of a business and the business itself, are different entities. This means that transactions involving the two are not to be mixed up but are to be recorded separately.
The reason this concept exists is to ensure that a business is analyzed and treated on its on merit and not that of its owner because the owner might be successful and the business isn't. The reverse is also true.
XYZ Inc violates this concept here by mixing the accounts of the owner and the business in order to influence a loan decision. This goes against accounting concepts and gave the company an incorrect valuation.
SmartCorp sells 500 units, resulting in $75,000 of sales revenue, $32,000 of variable costs, and $20,000 of fixed costs. The number of units that must be sold to achieve $41,000 of operating income is: (Round intermediary calculations to two decimal places, and your final answer up to the nearest whole number.)
Answer: 709
Explanation:
selling price per unit will be:
= $75000/500
= $150
Variable cost per unit:
= $32000/500
= $64
Contribution margin per unit = $150 - $64 = $86
Number of units to be sold will now be:
= ($20000 + $41000) / $86
= $61000/$86
= 709
A newscaster earns $26600 and wants to invest 10% of his/her monthly salary to save for retirement in 28 years. if he/she invests this money at 4.2% compounded monthly, how much money will he/she have at retirement?
a) How much will be saved each year?
b) What will be the monthly deposit?
c) What will be the amount in the account after 28 years?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual salary= $26,600
Number of periods= 28*12= 336
Interest rate= 0.042/12= 0.0035
First, we need to calculate the annual savings:
Annual saving= 26,600*0.1= $2,660
Now, the monthly deposit:
Monthly deposit= 2,660/12= $221.67
Finally, the future value of the investment:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {221.67*[(1.0035^336) - 1]} / 0.0035
FV= $141,535.3

A health club has 3 employees who work on lead generation. Each employee contacts leads 20 hours a week and is paid $24 per hour. Each employee contacts an average of 210 leads a week. Approximately 8% of the leads become members and pay a onetime fee of $100. Material costs are $180 per week, and overhead costs are $1,000 per week. a. Calculate the multifactor productivity for this operation in fees generated per dollar of input
Answer:
0.64 fees generated per dollar of input
Explanation:
Fees generated per week = Average number of leads * Leads % conversion to members * One time fee per lead
Fees generated per week = 210 * 8% * $100
Fees generated per week = $1,680
Overhead cost = $1,000 per week
Material cost = $180 per week
Labor cost = Number of employees * Hours per week * Wage per hour = 3 * 20 * $24 = $1,440
Multifactor productivity = Fees generated per week/(Overhead cost + Material cost + Labor cost)
Multifactor productivity = $1,680 / ($1,000 + $180 + $1,440)
Multifactor productivity = $1,680 / $2,620
Multifactor productivity = 0.6412214
Multifactor productivity = 0.64 fees generated per dollar of input

A bailment is different from a gift because:___.
a. a gift requires consideration, but a bailment does not.
b. a gift is always a contract, but a bailment is generally not a contract.
c. a gift requires delivery, but a bailment does not.
d. in a bailment, only possession of the property is transferred to the bailee, whereas with a gift, both possession and ownership must pass to the donee.
Answer: d. in a bailment, only possession of the property is transferred to the bailee, whereas with a gift, both possession and ownership must pass to the donee.
Explanation:
When you give a person a gift, you are giving the person both ownership of that gift and the possession as well. For instance, if you give a person a car as a gift, that person now owns the car and will use it as they please.
With a bailment, there is no transfer of ownership. The bailor is simply giving the bailee possession of the property in question which means that after the bailee is done with the property, they have to return it back to the bailor.

If fixed costs are $288,000, the unit selling price is $75, and the unit variable costs are $49, the old and new break-even sales (units), respectively, if the unit selling price increases by $5 are a.3,840 units and 11,077 units b.11,077 units and 3,840 units c.11,077 units and 9,290 units d.5,878 units and 8,790 units
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $288,000
Selling price= $75
Unitary variable costs= $49
To calculate the 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= 288,000 / (75 - 49)
Break-even point in units= 11,077
Now, if the selling price is $80:
Break-even point in units= 288,000 / (80 - 49)
Break-even point in units= 9,290
True or false: A traditional costing system uses more cause-and-effect relationships in tracing costs than does an activity-based cost allocation system.
Answer: False
Explanation:
Activity based costing us when the activities of an organisation is classified. After the classification, the costs that are related to those activities will then be traced to the activities.
It should be noted that an activity-based costing system utilizes more cause-and-effect relationships when tracing costs than a traditional cost allocation system.
Therefore, the statement that's givenn in the question is false.
