Answer:
B) $16,346.16
Explanation:
annual operating tax shield = depreciation expense x tax rate = $68,109 x 24% = $16,346.16
when you are calculating the net cash flows, the formula you will follow is:
net cash flow = [(revenues - cash costs - depreciation expense) x (1 - tax rate)] + depreciation expense
net cash flow = [($582,960 - $411,015 - $68,109) x (1 - 24%)] + $68,109 = $147,024.36
Lie Around Furniture manufactures two products: Couches and Beds. The following data are available: Couches Beds Sales price Variable costs The company can manufacture either couches per machine hour or bed(s) per machine hour. The company's production capacity is machine hours per month. To maximize profits, what product and how many units should the company produce in a month?
Answer:
the company should produce 5,200 / 0.5 = 10,400 beds, resulting in a gross profit of $3,692,000
Explanation:
The numbers are missing, so i looked them up:
sales price variable costs machine hours
Couches $550 $350 0.333
Beds $750 $395 0.5
total machine hours = 5,200
the constraint here is machine hours, so we must determine the contribution margin per machine hour:
couches = $200 / 0.333 = $600beds = $355 / 0.5 = $710since the contribution margin per machine hour is higher for beds, then the company should produce 5,200 / 0.5 = 10,400 beds, resulting in a gross profit of $3,692,000
Redding Industrial Supply had common stock of $6,800 and retained earnings of $4,925 at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, the common stock balance is $7,000 and the retained earnings account balance is $5,498. The net income for the year is $938. What is the retention ratio?
Answer:
61.09 %
Explanation:
For computing the retention ratio we need to do the following calculations
Beginning Retained earnings = $4,925
And,
Net Income = $938
So, before dividend Retained earnings is
= $4,925 + $938
= $5,863
Now the total amount paid is
= before dividend Retained earnings - ending retained earnings
= $5,863 - $5,498
= $365
Now
The Dividend payout ratio is
= Dividend paid ÷ Net Income
= $365 ÷ $938
= 0.389126
And, finally
Retention ratio is
= 1 - Dividend payout ratio
= 1 - 0.389126
= 0.610874 or 61.09 %

The major components of a time series are all of the following EXCEPT: trend. seasonality. random variations. inflation. cycles.
Answer: inflation
Explanation: Inflation is an increase in the general level of prices or in the cost of living and is not a part of the major components of a time series which is defined as a set of data points, each of which represents the value of the same variable at different times, normally at uniform intervals. It consists of: seasonal variations (repeats over a specific period), trend variations (moves up or down in a reasonably predictable pattern), cyclical variations (corresponds with economic cycles or which sometimes follow their own peculiar cycles), and random variations that do not fall under any of the above classes.

A company's normal selling price for its product is $23 per unit. However, due to market competition, the selling price has fallen to $18 per unit. This company's current FIFO inventory consists of 230 units purchased at $19 per unit. Net realizable value has fallen to $16 per unit. Calculate the value of this company's inventory at the lower of cost or market.
a. $3,780
b. $3,630
c. $4,370
d. $4,140
e. $3,680
Answer:
e. $3,680
Explanation:
Calculation for the value of this company's inventory at the lower of cost or market.
Using this formula
Inventory value at lower of cost= Current FIFO inventory units × Fallen Net realizable value per unit
Let plug in the formula
Inventory value at lower of cost=230 units× $16 per unit
Inventory value at lower of cost=$3,680
Therefore the value of the company's inventory at the lower of cost or market will be $3,680
Short-term interest rates are more volatile than long-term rates. Despite this, the rates of return of long-term bonds are more volatile than returns on short-term securities. How can these two empirical observations be reconciled?
Answer:
Short term interest rates are more volatile (or change more often) because the FED uses them to control inflation and the money supply. Generally, when the FED engages in either expansionary or contractionary monetary policies, they will use short term interest rates. Even if they change more often, their nominal rates are generally very low, and a small change does the job. So they change more often, but in a very small proportion.
On the other hand, long term securities yield much more volatile returns because they last much longer and any small change in interests rates will result in a larger proportional change of returns in the long run. The longer the bonds, the larger the effect of any change in the market rates.

The Retained Earnings balance was $24,100 on January 1. Net income for the year was $19,900. If Retained Earnings had a credit balance of $26,200 after closing entries were made for the year, and if additional stock of $6,400 was issued during the year, what was the amount of dividends declared during the year?
Please see attachment as well there is a problem that I need help as well....Thank You!
Answer: $17800
Explanation:
The opening balance of Retained earnings = $24,100
Net Income for the year = $19,900
Closing balance of Retained earnings = $ 26,200
The, the amount of dividends declared during the year = (opening balance) +(Net Income) -( Closing balance)
= $ (24100+19900-26200)
= $17800
Hence, the amount of dividends declared during the year is $17800.

Zappos is an online company that retails shoes and clothes. They have an extremely flat organisational structure that promotes employee involvement in major business decisions.
For example it allows its customer service employees attend to customers in their own way rather than following a script.
One way Zappos has maintained organisational control is by each group member's compensation depending in part on the group's overall productivity.
This strategy ties the employee compensation to the company's performance, so they are motivated to put in their best.
ou are considering a project with cash flows of $16,500, $25,700, and $18,000 at the end of each year for the next three years, respectively. What is the present value of these cash flows, given a discount rate of 9.7 percent
Answer:
Total PV= $50,032
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
$16,500, $25,700, and $18,000
Cf1= $16,500
Cf2= $25,700
Cf3= $18,000
Discount rate= 9.7%
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Cf1= 16,500/(1.097)= 15,041
Cf2= 25,700/1.097^2= 21,356
Cf3= 18,000/1.097^3= 13,635
Total PV= $50,032
Determine the center of gravity location for a company that wants to serve customers located in Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati. Market Latitude Longitude Population in Matrix Chicago 41.85 87.65 3,850,000 Detroit 42.33 83.05 891,100 Indianapolis 39.77 86.15 828,300 Cincinnati 39.14 84.48 283,300
Answer:
41.49 and 86.58
Explanation:
The computation of the center of gravity location for a company is shown below:
For latitude
= (41.85 × 3,850,000 + 42.33 × 891,100 + 39.77 × 828,300 + 39.14 × 283,300) ÷ (3,850,000 + 891,100 + 828,300 + 283,300)
= (161,122,500 + 37,720,263 + 32,941,491 + 11,088,362) ÷ (5,852,700)
= 41.49
For longitude
= (87.65 × 3,850,000 + 83.05 × 891,100 + 86.15 × 828,300 + 84.48 × 283,300) ÷ (3,850,000 + 891,100 + 828,300 + 283,300)
= (337,452,500 + 7,4005,855 + 71,358,045 + 23,933,184) ÷ (5,852,700)
= 86.58
You own a portfolio that has $2,800 invested in Stock A and $3,900 invested in Stock B. Assume the expected returns on these stocks are 9 percent and 15 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
12.5%
Explanation:
A portfolio has $2,800 invested in stock A
$3,900 is invested in stock B
The expected return of stock A is 9%
= 9/100
= 0.09
The expected return of stock B is 15%
= 15/100
= 0.15
The first step is to calculate the total value
= $2,800+$3,900
= $6,700
Therefore, the expected return on the portfolio can be calculated as follows
= (2,800/6,700)×0.09 + (3,900/6,700)×0.15
= 0.4179×0.09 + 0.5820×0.15
= 0.03761 + 0.0873
= 0.1249×100
= 12.5%
Hence the expected return on the portfolio is 12.5%

From the given options, the option (d) is not one of the major drivers of unethical managerial behavior. Heavy pressure and means to handle them are the jobs confined to the managers.
A registered representative (RR) is recommending to his client a newly issued debt security backed by the U.S. government with a maturity of eight years. This security is most likely
Answer:
a debt instrument known as a Treasury note
Explanation:
Treasury note is a United States government debt security that has a fixed interest rate and maturity of between 1 to 10 years.
Treasury notes can have competitive bid or non competitive bid.
Competitive bid occurs when buyers determine yield they want, but they have to wait for approval by the government.
Non competitive bidding is when buyers accept the yield offered at auction.
In this scenario where a registered representative (RR) is recommending to his client a newly issued debt security backed by the U.S. government with a maturity of eight years. This is most likely treasury notes.
You purchased a stock at a price of $54.24. The stock paid a dividend of $1.39 per share and the stock price at the end of the year is $48.78. What are your capital gains on this investment?
Answer:
Capital loss = $(5.46)
Explanation:
Return on investment would be the proportion of the amount invested that is earned as profit.
Profit here includes dividends earned plus capital gains less broker's commission.
Capital gains/(loss) represents an appreciation/(depreciation) in the stock value. It is usually measures by the change in the stock value over the investment period under focus
Capital gain/loss on stock = stock price at the end - stock price at the beginning
Stock price at the end= 48.78
Stock price at the beginning = 54.24
Capital loss = (48.78 - 54.24) = $(5.46)
The dividend would not be included simply it is not a capital item
Capital loss = $(5.46)
BR Company has a contribution margin of 8%. Sales are $497,000, net operating income is $39,760, and average operating assets are $135,000. What is the company's return on investment (ROI)?
Answer:
The company's return on investment (ROI) is 29.45%.
Explanation:
Return on investment (ROI) is a profitability ratio that gives investors the opportunity to know the level of efficiency of each amount of dollar invested in a project at producing a profit.
Return on investment (ROI) can be computed using the following formula:
ROI = Net operating income / Average operating assets ............ (1)
Since;
Net operating income = $39,760
Average operating assets = $135,000
We therefore substitute the values into equation (1) and have:
ROI = $39,760 / $135,000 = 0.2945, or 29.45%
Therefore, the company's return on investment (ROI) is 29.45%.
The rate that yields a net present value of zero for an investment is the: Multiple Choice Internal rate of return. Accounting rate of return. Net present value rate of return. Zero rate of return. Payback rate of return.
Answer: Internal rate of return
Explanation:
The Internal Rate of Return is a financial analysis measure that yields a net present value of zero for an investment. In so doing it can be used to determine the financial viability of a project.
It does this by telling the company which required rate of return will return a positive NPV because the logic is that if the Required Rate of Return for the project is lower than the IRR, it will yield an NPV greater than 0 which is what the IRR was able to yield because it would discount the cashflows less.
Higher price discounts and promotion allowance will help push products through the wholesale channel.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
This statement is true, because wholesale sales are sales of products in large quantities, usually directed to sales to suppliers who will put such products for sale at retail.
Therefore, when a wholesale product supplier offers higher price discounts and promotion subsidies, this strategy ends up driving the product through the wholesale channel, where price can be a deciding factor for retailers, since buying a product for a lower unit price and reselling it for a higher price is a profitable advantage.
According to Keynes, if aggregate income is too high (i.e, an inflationary gap is developing) the government should use contractionary fiscal policy
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
According to Keynes, if aggregate income is too high (i.e, an inflationary gap is developing) the government should use contractionary fiscal policy.
Fiscal policy in economics deals with government expenditure and income.
Therefore, c fiscal policy is a monetary measure which involves a reduction in government spending or an increase in tax. It is used to reduce the rates of monetary expansion by putting limits on the flow of money in the economy.
Contractionary fiscal policy is used to control inflation in an economy.
Expansionary fiscal policy is the opposite of contractionary fiscal policy. Expansionary fiscal policy is the increase in government spending and a decrease in tax. It is used to control deflationary gap.

Amble Inc. exchanged a truck with a book value of $12,000 and a fair value of $20,000 for a truck and $5,000 cash. The exchange has commercial substance. At what amount should Amble record the truck received
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
Based on the information given about Amble Inc the amount that Amble should record the truck received should be $20,000 because the book value is the amount of $12,000.
Secondly since we were told that the exchange has commercial substance which means that the amount of $20,000 which is the fair value of the truck which the buyer is willing to buy from the seller should be the amount that Amble should record the truck received .
Therefore Amble should record the truck received at the amount of $20,000

Which of the following scenarios would be included in GDP? Pam buys a new 40-inch television at Walmart. Sandra is a waitress at Morton’s Steakhouse. She receives a cash tip of $50 that she pockets and does not report. Miguel won $100 in his office fantasy football league. Darius unclogs the drain in his sink using the plunger he owns.
Answer:
A. Pam buys a new 40-inch television at Walmart.
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Product is the sum monetary value of goods and services purchased in a country within a specific length of time. It can be calculated on an annual or quarterly basis. It helps economists in making decisions. The GDP has to be recorded so that it can be accounted for. The GDP is calculated based on income, expenditure, or production.
From the options given, only Pam has performed an activity that can be rightly included in GDP. This is because she purchased an item (expenditure) that would be recorded by the supermarket and eventually accounted for in the country's GDP.

Night shades inc. (NSI) manufactures biotech sunglasses. The variable materials cost is $10.70 per unit, and the variable labor costs is $6.30 per unit.
A. What is the variable cost per unit?
B. Suppose NSI incurs fixed costs of $660,000 during a year in which total production is 280,000 units. What are the total costs for the year?
C. If the selling price is $44.50 per unit, what is the cash break-even point? If depreciation is $460,000 per year, what is the accounting break-even point?
Answer and Explanation:
A. The computation of variable cost per unit is shown below:-
Variable cost = Variable material cost + Variable labor cost
= $10.70 + $6.30
= $17
B. The computation of total costs for the year is shown below:-
Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
= $280,000 × $17 + $660,000
= $5,420,000
C. The computation of cash break-even point and accounting break-even point is shown below:-
Contribution = Selling price - Variable cost
= $44.50 - $17
= $27.5
Cash break even point = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $660,000 ÷ $27.50
= 24,000 units
Break even point = (Fixed cost + Depreciation) ÷ Contribution per unit
= ($660,000 + $460,000) ÷ $27.5
= $1,120,000 ÷ $27.5
= 40,727.27 units
or
= 40,728 units
