Answer: 8.735%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Alistar Inc. recently issued $90 par value preferred stock that pays a 8.25% dividend rate per year and that the stock is currently selling for $85.
The expected return of this preferred stock will be calculated this:
The annual dividend will be:
= $90 × 8.25%
= $90 × 0.0825
= $7.425
The expected return on the preferred stock will be:
= Annual dividend ÷ Current price
=$7.425 ÷ $85
=0.08735
=8.735%
Aaker Corporation, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $168 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 9,550 Units sold 8,150 Units in ending inventory 1,400 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $35 Direct labor $66 Variable manufacturing overhead $16 Variable selling and administrative $16 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $229,200 Fixed selling and administrative $138,550 What is the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing
Answer:
Unitary production cost= $141
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units produced 9,550
Direct materials $35
Direct labor $66
Variable manufacturing overhead $16
Fixed manufacturing overhead= $229,200
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed manufacturing overhead:
unitary fixed manufacturing overhead= 229,200/9,550
unitary fixed manufacturing overhead= $24
Unitary production cost= 35 + 66 + 16 + 24
Unitary production cost= $141

(Use 365 days for any calculations. Round any intermediate calculations and your final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
days sales in inventory = 85.88 days
Explanation:
The numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:
"Ottawa, Inc. provides the following data: 2019 2018 Cash $23,000 $22,000 Accounts Receivable, Net 37,000 37,000 Merchandise Inventory 55,000 25,000 Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net 127,000 96,000 Total Assets $242,000 $180,000 For the year ending December 31, 2019: Net Credit Sales $300,000 Cost of Goods Sold (170,000) Gross Profit $130,000"
first we must determine the inventory turnover ratio:
inventory turnover ratio = COGS / average inventory
average inventory = ($55,000 + $25,000) / 2 = $40,000
COGS = $170,000
inventory turnover ratio = $170,000 / $40,000 = 4.25
days sales in inventory = 365 / inventory turnover ratio = 365 / 4.25 = 85.88 days

e can deposit $5,000 at the end of each six-month period for the next 12 years and earn annual interest of 8.5%, compounded semi-annually. What will the value of the investment be after 12 years
Answer:
$201,805.67
Explanation:
The formula for calculating future value = A (B / r)
B = [(1 + r)^n] - 1
A = amount
R = interest rate = 8.5 / 2 = 4.25%
N = number of years = 12 x 2 = 24
(1.0425^24 - 1 ) / 0.0425 = 40.361134
40.361134 x $5,000 = $201,805.67
Seth Silver had the following items of income during the taxable year: Interest income from a checking account $1,000 Interest income from corporate bonds purchased 5 years ago $2,050 Interest income from a municipal bond he purchased during the current year $250 Interest income from federal bonds (which are not Series EE bonds) purchased 2 years ago $750. On his current year tax return, what amount is taxable income?
a. $3,050
b. $3,300
c. $3,800
d. $4,050
Answer:
c. $3,800
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of taxable income
Using this formula
Taxable income =Interest income from a checking account+Interest income from corporate bonds +Interest income from federal bonds
Let plug in the formula
Taxable income =$1,000+$2,050+$750
Taxable income=$3,800
Therefore on his current year tax return the amount of his taxable income will be $3,800
The Herbertson Company leases machines to clients. Annual rentals are paid each year, with the first payment due on the day the lease begins. A machine with a book value of $12,000 is leased. Unguaranteed salvage value is $1,500. Lease term is six years. Herbertson's interest rate is 5%. What is the approximate annual lease payment? "Coursehero"
Answer:
$2,251.63
Explanation:
Calculation for the approximate annual lease payment
Since we looking for the approximate annual lease payment this means that our annual lease payment will be x and since the interest rate is 5% and we were been told that the first payment occured at the beginning of lease in which balance of 5 payments at the end of each year which means that we would find the PVA factors of (5%,5)
Hence,
x + x × Present value annuity factor (5%,5)
= $12,000
x + x(5.3295) = $12,000
5.3295x = $12,000
Now let divide the PVA of 5.3295 by $12,000 in order to get the approximate annual lease payment
x = $12,000 / 5.3295
x = $2,251.63
Therefore the approximate annual lease payment will be $2,251.63
All About Animals has two product lines: Cat food and Dog food. Contribution margin income statement data for the most recent year follow: Total Cat Food Dog Food Sales revenue $85,000 Variable expenses $40,000 Contribution margin $45,000 Fixed expenses $52,000 Operating income (loss) $ $(7,000) Assuming the Dog food is discontinued, total fixed costs remain unchanged, and the space formerly used to produce the line is rented for per year, how will operating income be affected?
Answer:
Increase in operating income by $12,000
Explanation:
The above is an incomplete question because the value for 'space normally used to produce the rented line' is missing. However, I assumed the value is $26,000 per year as gotten from the internet -Chegg.
Given the above information, the operating income can be affected as calculated below;
Sales revenue $85,000
Add additional revenue $26,000
Total revenue $11,1000
Less: variable expenses ($40,000)
Contribution margin $71,000
Less: fixed expense ($52,000)
New net operating income
$19,000

Some investment projects require that a company increase its working capital. Under the net present value method, the investment and eventual recovery of working capital should be treated as:
Answer:
Both an initial cash outflow and future cash inflow
Explanation:
Net value cash flow is the different cash flows that happens at different times. It takes into account the initial cash outflow or capital investment and the amount that it would be getting in the future that is the future cash inflow.
The net present value gives us a difference between cash inflows and cash outflows in their present values over a period of time.
Caddie Manufacturing has a target debt-equity ratio of .35. Its cost of equity is 12 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 6 percent. If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
10.12%
Explanation:
The computation of the WACC is shown below:
= Cost of debt × (1 - tax rate) × weight of debt + cost of equity × weight of equity
= 6% × (1 - 0.21) × 0.35 ÷ 1.35 + 12% × 1 ÷ 1.35
= 1.23% + 8.89%
= 10.12%
We simply multiplied the capital structure with each of its weight so that the WACC could come and the same is to be considered

Answer:
a. $5,850
Explanation:
Using the gross profit method of inventory estimation, the amount of normal gross profit would be;
= Net sales × Normal gross profit margin percentage

Lasso Corporation manufactures Part B89 in its internal processing division. Lasso produces units of Part B89 annually. The annual costs to produce Part B89 at the level of units include: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Total cost All of the fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue whether Part B89 is made internally or purchased from an outside supplier. Assuming Lasso can purchase units of the part from the Nadal Parts Company for each, and the facilities currently used to make the part could be rented out to another manufacturer for a year, what should Lasso do? A. Make the part and save per unit. B. Buy the part and save per unit. C. Make the part and save per unit. D. Buy the part and save per unit.
Answer:
Make the part and save $3.00 per unit.
Explanation:
The numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question to fill in the blanks:
The annual costs to produce Part B89 at the level of 9,000 units include:
Direct materials $3.00 Direct labor $8.00 Variable manufacturing overhead $4.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead $3.00 (non-avoidable)Total cost $18.00All of the fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue whether Part B89 is made internally or purchased from an outside supplier. Assuming Lasso Corporation can purchase 9,000 units of the part from the Nadal Parts Company for $20.00 each, and the facilities currently used to make the part could be rented out to another manufacturer for $18,000 a year, what should Lasso Corporation do?
we need to determine how much we can save by buying from Nadal = all avoidable costs can be saved = $18 - $3 = $15 per unit
net cost to buy = $20 - ($18,000 / 9,000) = $20 - $2 = $18 per unit
since the purchase cost is higher than the production costs, Lasso Corporation should keep producing the product.
Average fixed cost A. increases as output rises. B. remains constant as output rises. C. equals marginal cost for the first unit of output. D. decreases as output rises.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Average fixed cost = total fixed cost / output
Fixed cost is cost that does not vary with output.
for example electricity tariff
for example, total fixed cost is $10,000. what is average fixed cost when output is 500 and 1000
$10,000 / 500 = $20
$10,000 / 1000 = $10
We can see that average fixed cost decreased as output increased
The three-component model of creativity proposes that individual creativity essentially requires expertise, creative thinking skills, and ________.

Quaker State Inc. offers a new employee a single-sum signing bonus at the date of employment. Alternatively, the employee can receive $8,600 at the date of employment plus $26,000 at the end of each of his first three years of service. Assuming the employee's time value of money is 8% annually, what lump sum at employment date would make him indifferent between the two options
Answer: $75,604.60
Explanation:
The lump sum that would make the employee indifferent between the two option is the one that is equal to the present value of the part payments.
Given a constant payment of $26,000 per year this will be the present value of an annuity.
Present Value of the Annuity = 26,000 * Present Value interest factor of an annuity, 3 years, 8%
= 26,000 * 2.5771
= 67,004.60
Total present Value = 8,600 + 67,004.60
= $75,604.60
If the lump sum offered was $75,604.60, employee would be indifferent.

A stock is selling at $40, a 3-month put at $50 is selling for $11, a 3-month call at $50 is selling for $1, and the risk-free rate is 6%.How much, if anything, can be made on an arbitrage?
Answer:
$0.745
Explanation:
GIven that
Current stock price [tex]S_o[/tex] = $40
strike price X = $50
time to expiry of option = 3 - month
put price option [tex]P _o[/tex] = $11
call price option [tex]C_o[/tex] = $1
and the risk-free rate r = 6%
The amount that can be made on the arbitrage can be evaluated as a function of the Put-call parity.
i.e For parity ;
[tex]C_o + (X \times e^{-rt} ) = P_o + S_o[/tex]
[tex]1 + (50 \times e^{-(0.06 \times 0.25} ) = 11 + 40[/tex]
[tex]1 + (50 \times 0.9851 ) = 51[/tex]
[tex]1 + (49.255 ) = 51[/tex]
50.255 = 51
the difference in both values above illustrates that there is no parity taking place and the arbitrage estimation here = 51 - 50.255 = $0.745

Summarize the impact of foreign exchange rates on the company’s financial statements. What risks do foreign exchange rates pose? Provide academically supported example(s) in your response
Answer with Explanation:
Foreign exchange rates can have significant impact on the company's financial statements because the spot rate at that date can be affect the value of the company's assets. It is very common in consolidated financial statement of a multinational companies.
The impact on the financial statements can be as under:
The fluctuation in currency value can under or over statement of assets, liabilities and Income & Expenses.The fluctuation makes the analysis of the financial statements meaningless. The performance of the company in a consolidated statement will be in a state that would not be better understood or time consuming by experts to develop understanding of what the financial statement is saying. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to understand the performance of the business.It can also also manipulate the value of the assets of the company because increase in devaluation of the currency means increase in inflation and vice versa.The value of the company acquired can be affected significantly which means that the investment (value of whole company) can turn into significant losses which means it can result reporting losses of in a consolidated financial statement. This would also result in decrease in the stock value of the group as a whole.Concord Corporation has several outdated computers that cost a total of $18000 and could be sold as scrap for $6000.

On june the 1st 2016 falcon corp decided to repurchase its 10,000,000, 8% bond issue, maturing in 2023. the market price for the bonds on june 1st was 98. The carrying value at the time fof repurchase was 10,230,000. Make journal entries for repurchase of the bonds.
Answer:
June 1, 2016, outstanding bonds are repurchased at 98
Dr Bonds payable 10,000,000
Dr Premium on bonds payable 230,000
Cr Cash 9,800,000
Cr gain on extinguishment of bonds 430,000
Explanation:
Bonds have to be reported at historical cost plus any premiums or minus any discounts. Since the bonds were sold at a premium, the market interest must have been lower than the bonds' coupon. But market interest rates change over time, and now they are higher than the coupon that the bonds pay. This will result in a lower market price, and if the company repurchases them, the transaction will result in a gain since the bonds' carrying value is higher than the price paid to repurchase them.
Suppose marginal cost is constant and equal to 50 and marginal revenue equals 100 - 10Q. A profit-maximizing monopolist will set quantity equal to:
Answer: 5
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the marginal cost is constant and equal to 50 and marginal revenue equals 100 - 10Q.
For a profit-maximizing monopolist, we should note that the marginal revenue will be equated to the marginal cost. Therefore:
100 - 10Q = 50
100 - 50 = 10Q
50 = 10Q
Q = 50/10
Q = 5
Therefore, a profit-maximizing monopolist will set quantity equal to 5.
