Wilde Software Development has a 12% unlevered cost of equity. Wilde forecasts the following interest expenses, which are expected to grow at a constant 3% rate after Year 3. Wilde's tax rate is 25%. Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Interest expenses $80 $95 $140 What is the horizon value of the interest tax shield
Answer: $400.56
Explanation:
Horizon value = Tax shield in 3rd year * (1 + growth rate) / (Required return - Growth rate)
Tax shield in year 3 = Interest expense * tax rate
= 140 * 25%
= $35
Horizon value = 35 * ( 1 + 3%) / (12% - 3%)
= $400.56
On January 1, 2021, Bombay Corporation signed a five-year noncancelable lease for equipment. The terms of the lease called for Bombay to make annual payments of $180,000 at the beginning of each year for five years with title passing to Bombay at the end of this period. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years and no salvage value. Bombay uses the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its fixed assets. Bombay accordingly accounts for this lease transaction as a finance lease. The lease payments were determined to have a present value of $750,578 at an effective interest rate of 10%.

In 2022, Cullumber should record interest expense of:______
Answer:
In 2022, Cullumber should record interest expense of $57,057.80.
Explanation:
The interest expense can be calculated using the following formula:
Interest expense = (Present value of lease payments - Annual payments at the beginning of each year) * Effective interest rate .................... (1)
Where:
Annual payments at the beginning of each year = $180,000
Present value of lease payments = $750,578
Effective interest rate = 10%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Interest expense = ($750,578 - $180,000) * 10% = $57,057.80
Therefore, Cullumber should record interest expense of $57,057.80 in 2022.

How does risk influence the rate of interest?
Answer:
Interest rate risk directly affects the values of fixed income securities. Since interest rates and bond prices are inversely related, the risk associated with a rise in interest rates causes bond prices to fall and vice versa. Interest rate risk affects the prices of bonds, and all bondholders face this type of risk.

Item 5 Required information Skip to question Current Time 0:00 / Duration 6:35 1x The Science Institute has three departments: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The institute's controller wants to estimate the cost of operating each department. He has identified several indirect costs that must be allocated to each department including $43,000 of indirect salaries, $4,500 of office supplies, and $36,500 of office rent. There are 500 students in the biology department, 200 in chemistry and 300 in physics (1,000 total students as the allocation base). The amount of cost that should be allocated to the Chemistry Department is
Answer:
$16,800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine The amount of cost that should be allocated to the Chemistry Department is
First step is to calculate the Cost to be allocated
Cost to be allocated = $43,000 + $4,500 + $36,500
Cost to be allocated= $84,000
Second step is to calculate the Allocation base
Allocation base = 500 + 200 + 300
Allocation base = 1,000 total students
Third step is to calculate the Allocation rate using this formula
Allocation rate = Cost to be allocated ÷
Allocation base
Let plug in the formula
Allocation rate= $84,000 ÷ 1,000
Allocation rate = $84 per student
Now let calculate the Allocation to Chemistry Department
Allocation to Chemistry Department = $84 per student x 200
Allocation to Chemistry Department = $16,800
Therefore The amount of cost that should be allocated to the Chemistry Department is $16,800

Explanation:
Check the attachment for the journal entry. Also, note that the Depreciation expense was calculated in the journal entry as:
= Cost of asset - Salvage value / Useful life of asset
= (81600 - 0) / 8
= $10200
Assume the following for the town of Boone: The town has a total population of 60,000 people, of which 2,000 are under 16 years of age or are institutionalized; 4,000 are full-time students who are not employed and are not seeking work; and 50,000 are employed. The rest of the people are out of work but have been actively seeking work within the past four weeks. What is Boone's unemployment rate?
Answer:
Unemployment rate= 7.4%
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the labor force. The labor force is the sum of employed people and unemployed people over 16 actively looking for work.
Labor force= 60,000 - 2,000 - 4,000= 54,000
Now, we can calculate the unemployment rate, using the following formula:
unemployment rate= (unemployed people / labor force)*100
unemployment rate= (4,000/54,000)*100
unemployment rate= 7.4%

1. The federal government is considering selling tracts of federally owned land to private developers and using the revenues to provide aid to victims of an earthquake in a foreign country. How would this policy affect the levels of federal revenues, expenditures, and deficits under a cash accounting system
Answer:
The responses to this question can be defined as follows:
Explanation:
In a currency system, its current amount of the debt is influenced by the cash financial statements, and sales will rise by amount and revenue would be compensated by spending increases on foreign aid. The financial accounting system must realize that its government sold a well-established resource and increased the overall scarcity.
Its capital account weakness relates to an undistorted added money from the currency exchange that would offset a decrease throughout the estimate of the benefits of Congress and lead to an increase in the utilization of the shortfall quickly.
What is an easement? What is it called when an easement is obtained against the consent of the landowner? What type of easement can be created by two adjacent landowners where one of them is “landlocked” by the other landowner?
Answer:
1. An easement is the right given to a person by law to utilize a particular part of another person's land.
2. When an easement is obtained against the consent of the landowner it is known as Prescriptive easement.
3. An easement that is created by two adjacent landowners where one is landlocked by the other landowner is called Easement appurtenant.
Explanation:
An easement is the lawful right of a person to use another person's property. Ingress, egress, and drainage are common reasons why an easement might be needed. When a piece of land does not have access to a roadway, then an easement might be required.
Prescriptive easement occurs when a land has been used by another person who is not the legal owner for up to twenty years without the consent/knowledge of the original owner of the land.
Easement appurtenant occurs for example when a person cannot access his own land with passing through another person's land. An easement by necessity can be created in such situations to solve the problem.

Fischer Company has outstanding 8,000 shares of $100 par value, 5% preferred stock, and 50,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. The company has $328,000 of retained earnings. At year-end, the company declares and pays the regular $5 per share cash dividend on preferred stock and a $1.80 per share cash dividend on common stock. What is the total dividends paid by Fischer Company
Answer:
The appropriate solution is "$130,000".
Explanation:
The given values are:
No. of common shares outstanding
= 50,000
Dividend per share
= $1.80
No. of preferred shares outstanding
= 8,000
Dividend per share
= $5
Now,
The total dividend on common shares will be:
= [tex]No. \ of \ common \ shared \ outstanding\times Dividend \ per \ share[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]50,000\times 1.80[/tex]
= [tex]90,000[/tex] ($)
The total dividend on preferred stock will be:
= [tex]No. \ of \ preferred \ shares \ outstanding\times Divided \ per \ share[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]8,000\times 5[/tex]
= [tex]40,000[/tex] ($)
Hence,
The total dividend paid by company will be:
= [tex]Total \ dividend \ on \ common \ shares +Total \ dividend \ on \ preferred \ stock[/tex]
= [tex]90,000+40,000[/tex]
= [tex]130,000[/tex] ($)
Thus the above is the correct answer.
A large brand runs several companies, including a chain of hotels, an automobile business, and a software development firm. Which data warehouse would help the organization view consolidated results of all the businesses?
A.
distributed
B.
LAN based
C.
virtual
D.
multistage
E.
stationary
Answer:
A.
distributed
Explanation:
In the case of the large brand running several companies, the best data warehouse suitable for them would be distributed type. This is because, it would allow them to house their data separately in the different arms of the business like hotels, automobiles business and software development businesses before the information is linked together and distributed evenly.
The distributed data warehouse allows them to share information among the various arms of the businesses due to the linkage between them.
Assume you gave up a $60,000 per year job at an accounting firm to start your own tax preparation business. To simplify, assume your tax personal obligations are the same whether you run your own firm or work for another firm. If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit
Answer:
Accounting profit= $70,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit
The accounting profit does not include the opportunity cost of leaving the accounting job. In this case, the accounting profit is:
Accounting profit= revenue - costs
Accounting profit= 75,000 - 5,000
Accounting profit= $70,000
Organizations with low turnover and satisfied employees tend to perform better. On the other side of the coin, organizations have to act when an employee's performance consistently falls short. Based on these concepts, organizations may distinguish between involuntary and voluntary turnover, recognize their effects on the organization, develop measures to encourage top performers to stay, and develop ways to manage the separation process fairly. Any organization wants to retain good performers and encourage or force low-performing employees to leave. There are two types of employee turnover. Involuntary turnover occurs when the employer requires employees to leave, often when they would prefer to stay. This action may potentially result in lawsuits and violence. Voluntary turnover occurs when employees initiate the turnover, often when the organization would prefer to keep them. These employees may retire or leave to work with different organizations. Both types of turnovers are costly because of subsequent needs to recruit, hire, and train replacements.

7. Promise
8. Careers
9. Employee layoff
A. Voluntary Turnover
B. Involuntary Turnover
C. Employee at Will Doctrine
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Voluntary Turnover:
Better Job: If an employee is offered a better job, he may choose to quit his current position.
Careers: If an employee is career-oriented and wishes to pursue higher education, he will willingly leave his employment.
Retirement: When an employee reaches the legal working age, he retires, which is referred to as voluntary retirement.
Involuntary Turnover:
Workplace Violence: An employer may decide to fire an employee who engages in workplace violence. This is what is known as spontaneous turnover.
Violating: If an employee is found to be in breach of the company's rules, he will be dismissed, resulting in involuntary turnover.
Employee layoffs: Forced turnover occurs when a company's employees are laid off in large numbers.
Employment at-will doctrine:
For some reason: This allows the employer to fire an employee for any cause.
Promise: Neither the employer nor the employee has made any commitments to each other.
Refusing to state the reason for the employee's termination: If the employer refuses to state the reason for the employee's termination,
A note payable was executed by Sterling Inc. to Miami Finance Company. Sterling Inc. used $768,000 of its accounts receivable as collateral for the loan. The contract provided that Miami would advance 85% of the gross amount of the receivables. Sterling Inc. continues to collect payments for the receivables and the cash from customers is then remitted to the finance company. The cash remitted is first applied to the finance charges, with the remainder applied to principal.
During the first month, customers owing $524,800 paid cash, less sales returns and allowances of $20,480, originally recorded as a refund liability. The finance charge at the end of the first month was $4,480. During the second month, the remaining receivables were collected in full, except for $5,120 off as uncollectible. Final settlement was effected with the finance company, including payment of an additional finance charge of $1,920.
Required:

If the United States imports more than it exports, then Group of answer choices the supply of dollars is likely to exceed the demand in the foreign exchange market, ceteris paribus. one can infer that the U.S. dollar would be under pressure to depreciate against other currencies. the supply of dollars is likely to exceed the demand in the foreign exchange market, ceteris paribus, and one can infer that the U.S. dollar would be under pressure to depreciate against other currencies. none of the options
Answer:
the supply of dollars is likely to exceed the demand in the foreign exchange market, ceteris paribus.
Explanation:
A deficit can be defined as an amount by which money, falls short of its expected value.
In Financial accounting, deficit is usually as a result of revenue falling below expenses or expense exceeding revenue at a specific period of time.
For instance, if in a country liabilities exceeds assets or import exceeds export there would be a deficit in the financial account of the country.
This is simply as a result of a country having to import more goods and services than it is exporting to other countries in trade.
Generally, a deficit on the current account is because the value of goods and services exported is lower than the value of goods and services being imported in a particular country.
If the United States imports more than it exports, then the supply of dollars is likely to exceed the demand in the foreign exchange market, ceteris paribus (all things being equal) because it is not selling its goods and services to other countries.
Myrna and Geoffrey filed a joint tax return in 2018. Their AGI was $85,000, and itemized deductions were $24,700, which included $7,000 in state income tax and no other state or local taxes. In 2019, they received a $1,800 refund of the state income taxes that they paid in 2018. The standard deduction for married filing jointly in 2018 was $24,000.
Under the tax benefit rule, what amount of the state income tax refund is included in gross income in 2019?
Answer:
$700
Explanation:
Calculation for what amount of the state income tax refund is included in gross income in 2019
Standard deduction for married filing jointly in 2018 $24,000
Less itemized deductions ($24,700)
State income tax refund included in gross income in 2019 $700
($24,000-$24,700)
Therefore the state income tax refund that is included in gross income in 2019 will be $700

Robin is granted 1,500 shares of restricted stock from her employer when the stock is trading at a fair market value of $25 per share. She is anticipating significant appreciation and wishes to minimize her future tax burden. As a result, she makes a Section 83(b) election. Assuming she is in the 35% marginal income tax bracket, how much income tax that will be due on this transaction in the year of election
Answer: $13125
Explanation:
Firstly, we should note that in section 83(B), tax is being paid based on the stock's fair market value. Therefore, the income tax that will be due on this transaction in the year of election will be:
= Number of shares × Price × Tax rate
= 1500 × $25 × 35%
= 1500 × $25 × 0.35
= $13125

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.
This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.
Generally, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;
1. Perfect information.
2. No barriers, it is typically free.
3. Equilibrium price and quantity.
4. Many buyers and sellers.
5. Homogeneous products.
Examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.
Hence, if equilibrium is achieved in a competitive market then, there is no deadweight loss i.e a loss of economic efficiency due to a lack of balance in competing economical influences for goods or services.
Suppose that it has just been projected that, because of a number of technological innova- tions, your firm will need 20 percent fewer clerical employees within the next three years. There are currently 122 clerical positions in the company, split between three departments of equal size. Retirements at this level are projected to be roughly 2 percent per year. Annual vol- untary turnover and involuntary turnover for Department A is 2 percent and 5 percent, respectively; Department B is 3 percent and 3 percent; and Department C is 5 percent and 0 percent. Do you project a labour shortage or surplus in the next three years for clerical positions
Answer:
There will be a labor shortage
Explanation:
number of clerical staffs present = 122 staffs
number of clerical staffs needed in 3 years
= 122 - ( 20% * 122 ) = 97.6 ≈ 98 staffs
next : lets project the number of employees in next three years considering the voluntary and involuntary turnovers
= 122*(1-2%)^3 * (((1-7%)^3)/3 + ((1-6%)^3)/3 + ((1-5%)^3)/3)
= 95.4 ≈ 94 staffs
since the projected number of employees is < number of clerical staffs needed in 3 years, There will be a labor shortage
Farris Corporation, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $108 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 8,900 Units sold 8,500 Units in ending inventory 400 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 17 Direct labor $ 59 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 5 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 9 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $133,500 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 8,700 What is the net operating income for the month under absorption costing
Answer:
Net operating profit= 441,800
Explanation:
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 production cost:
Unitary production cost= 17 + 9 + 5 + (133,500/8,900)
unitary production cost= $46
Now, the income statement:
Sales= 8,500*108= 918,000
COGS= (391,000)
Gross profit= 527,000
Total selling and administrative expense= (8,700 + 9*8,500)= (85,200)
Net operating profit= 441,800
