Answers

Answer:

610000-b=a

Explanation:

April 1=610000

Bayarmaa owns land with an adjusted basis of $610,000 subject to a mortgage of $350,000. The amount realized is $1,720,000. The correct option is b.

What are taxes?

Taxes are necessary contributions levied by a government entity, whether local, regional, or national, on individuals or corporations. Taxation funds government activities such as public works and services such as roads and schools, as well as programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

The amount realized by Alice is equal to the assumed property tax

Cash = $650,000

Note = $600,000

Property for market value = $120,000

Mortgage debt =  $350,000

Prorated property tax = 9000 x 31 + 28 + 31 / 365 days = 2,219

Adding all the money = 1722, 219

Therefore, the correct option is b. $1,720,000.

The demand for aloe vera hand lotion, one of numerous products manufactured by Smooth Skin Care Products Inc., has dropped sharply because of recent competition from a similar product. The company's chemists are currently completing tests of various new formulas, and it is anticipated that the manufacture of a superior product can be started on December 1, one month in the future. No changes will be needed in the present production facilities to manufacture the new product because only the mixture of the various materials will be changed.

The controller has been asked by the president of the company for advice on whether to continue production during November or to suspend the manufacture of aloe vera hand lotion until December 1. The controller has assembled the following pertinent data:

Sales (400,000 units) $32,000,000
Cost of goods sold 28,330,000
Gross profit $3,670,000
Selling and administrative expenses 4,270,000
Loss from operations ($600,000)

The production costs and selling and administrative expenses, based on production of 400,000 units in October, are as follows:

Direct materials $15per unit
Direct labor 17per unit
Variable manufacturing cost 35per unit
Variable selling and administrative expenses 10 per unit
Fixed manufacturing cost $1,530,000 for October
Fixed selling and administrative expenses 270,000 for October

Sales for November are expected to drop about 20% below those of the preceding month. No significant changes are anticipated in the fixed costs or variable costs per unit. No extra costs will be incurred in discontinuing operations in the portion of the plant associated with aloe vera hand lotion. The inventory of aloe vera hand lotion at the beginning and end of November is expected to be inconsequential.

Required:
Prepare an estimated income statement in absorption costing form for November for aloe vera hand lotion, assuming that production continues during the month.

Answers

Answer:

Estimated loss from operations for aloe vera hand lotion in November = -$534,000.

Explanation:

The following calculations are done first:

Direct materials per unit = $15

Direct labor per unit = $17

Variable manufacturing cost per unit = $35

Fixed manufacturing cost per unit = Fixed manufacturing cost for October / Number of units in October = $1,530,000 / 400,000 = $3.825

Cost of goods sold per unit = Product cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable manufacturing cost per unit + Fixed manufacturing cost per unit = $15 + $17 + $35 + $3.825 = $70.825

Also, we have:

Expected sales in unit for November = Sales in unit for October * (100% - Expected percentage drop in sales) = 400,000 * (100% - 20%) = 320,00 units

Selling price per unit = Sales in October / Units sold in October = $32,000,000 / 400,000 = $80

Variable selling and administrative expenses per unit = $10

Fixed selling and administrative expenses for October = $270,000

Based on the above calculations, an estimated income statement in absorption costing form for November for aloe vera hand lotion can be prepared as follows:

suppose the following two events occur in the domestic market for radiologists: a. some hospitals are outsourcing some radiology services such as reading x-rays. b. some medical schools have closed down their radiology departments as fewer students enroll in this field. what is likely to happen to the equilibrium wage and quantity of radiologists following these two events?

Answers

Answer:

The equilibrium quantity falls and the effect on the equilibrium wage of radiologists is indeterminate.

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question :

What is likely to happen to the equilibrium wage and quantity of radiologists following these twoevents?

A) The equilibrium wage and the equilibrium quantity of radiologists fall.

B) The equilibrium quantity falls and the effect on the equilibrium wage of radiologists is indeterminate.

C) The equilibrium wage falls and the effect on equilibrium quantity of radiologists isindeterminate.D

) The equilibrium wage and the equilibrium quantity of radiologists rise

As a result of event A, there would be a decrease in the demand for radiologists. As a result, there  would be a leftward shift of the demand curve for radiologist. This would lead to a reduction in equilibrium price and quantity

As a result of event B, there would be a decrease in the supply radiologists. As a result, there  would be a leftward shift of the supply curve of radiologist. This would lead to a reduction in equilibrium quantity and a rise in equilibrium price.

Taking these two effects together, the equilibrium quantity falls and the effect on the equilibrium wage of radiologists is indeterminate.

Answers

Answer:

PV= $62,070.67 = $62,071

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Monthly payment= $1,200

Number of months= 5*12* 60

Discount rate= 0.06/12= 0.005

To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:

PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}

A= monthly payment

PV= 1,200*{(1/0.005) - 1 / [0.005*(1.005^60)]}

A stock just announced that its next annual dividend will be $1.02 and it expects to increase that dividend by 2.5 percent annually. The stock is currently selling for $28 a share. How do you compute the expected rate of return?
a) i = ($1.02/$28) + 0.025
b) i = [($1.02 x 1.025)/$28] + 0.025
c) i = ($1.02/$28) - 0.025
d) i = ($1.02 X 1.025)/$28

Answers

Answer: A. i = ($1.02/$28) + 0.025

Explanation:

The expected rate of return will be calculated as:

= (Expected dividend/Price today) + growth rate

where,

Expected dividend = $1.02

Price today = $28

Growth rate = 2.5%

Then, slotting the figures into the equation will give:

= (1.02/28) + 2.5%

= (1.02/28) + 0.025

Therefore, the correct option is A

uppose you invest, every month, in an annuity that pays 3% interest, compounded monthly. After 25 years, you have $550,000. How much money do you earn from interest

Answers

Answer: $180,046

Explanation:

First find the annuity that was invested monthly that yielded $550,000.

Interest rate = 3%/12 months = 0.25%

Period = 25 * 12 = 300 months

Future value of annuity = Annuity * ( ( 1 + rate) ^ no. of periods - 1) / rate

550,000 = Annuity * ( ( 1 + 0.25%)³⁰⁰ - 1 ) / 0.25%

550,000 = Annuity * 446

Annuity = 550,000 / 446

Annuity = $1,233.18

Without compounding, investing $1,233.18 per month would have yielded:

= 1,233.18 * 300 months

= $369,954

Money earned from interest is:

= 550,000 - 369,954

= $180,046

On May 1, a two-year insurance policy was purchased for $12,000 with coverage to begin immediately. What is the amount of insurance expense that would appear on the company's income statement for the first year ended December 31

Answers

Answer:

$4,000

Explanation:

The accrual concept is of the opinion that expense should be recognized when incurred and not necessarily when the expense is paid for.

The insurance payment made was for two years, hence, at the end of the first year ended 31 December, which is the 8 months after the payment has been made, hence, 8-month insurance expense would be recognized in the first year.

May 1-December 31=8 months

insurance expense=two-year payment*8 months/2 years

insurance expense=$12,000*8/24

insurance expense for the first year=$4,000

The computation of the no of products that should be ordered on the new purchased is shown below

We know that

New purchase order = Planned Production Order - Raw material available - purchase order for planned production

In this if the value is in negative, so it will be zero  

So,

New Purchase Order (POnew) = maximum(0, PP - RM - SR)

Here,

PP = 130 Product A

RM = 70 Product A

SR = 40 Product A

Therefore POnew is

= maximum (0, 130-70-40)

= maximum (0, 20)

= 20

Tracey Sales Co. has predicted the following costs for this year for 500,000 units: Manufacturing Selling and Administrative Variable $ 800,000 $250,000 Fixed 1,200,000 300,000 Total $2,000,000 $550,000 What is the markup on variable manufacturing costs needed to break even

Answers

Answer: 218.75%

Explanation:

In order to breakeven, the variable manufacturing cost would have to be the same as the fixed costs in addition to the administrative costs.

= Fixed costs + Administrative cost

= 1,200,000 + 550,000

= $1,750,000

Variable cost needs to be $1,750,000

It is currently at $800,000 so it needs to increase by:

= 1,750,000 / 800,000 * 100%

= 218.75%

Question I - Debbie Debtor borrowed $1,000.00 from First Big Bank. Debbie Debtor agreed to repay the $1,000.00 over eight months plus interest. Debbie Debtor loses her job and stops making payments to First Big Bank after two months. What is the source of law that governs the subsequent remedies that may be available to First Big Bank

Answers

Answer:

First Big Bank can file a lawsuit.

Explanation:

Debbie took the loan when he has the job and agreed to refund the loan or borrowed money. Unfortunate circumstances lead to the loss of his job resulting in the stoppage of loan repayment. Since Debbie did not make any crime so it will not come under criminal law but the bank can file a lawsuit against Debbie and he will be liable to pay a fine and penalties.

At year-end, Barr Co. had shipped $12,500 of merchandise FOB destination to Lee Co. Which company should include the $12,500 of merchandise in transit as part of its year-end inventory?

Answers

Answer: Barr Co.

Explanation:

Merchandise in transit refers to the merchandise which has already left the seller's shipping dock but hasn't gotten to the buyer's shipping dock.

In this case, since Barr Co. shipped the $12,500 of merchandise FOB destination to Lee Co and the goods have gotten to Lee Co, the company that they should include the $12,500 of merchandise in transit as part of its year-end inventory is Barr Co.

Current operating income for Bay Area Cycles Co. is $26,000. Selling price per unit is $100, the contribution margin ratio is 25% and fixed expense is $104,000. Required: 1. Calculate Bay Area Cycle's breakeven point in units and total sales dollars. Break-even units Break-even dollars 2. Calculate Bay Area Cycle's margin of safety and margin of safety ratio.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:

Unitary contribution margin= 100*0.25

Unitary contribution margin= $25

Now, we can calculate the break-even point in units and dollars:

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

Break-even point in units= 104,000 / 25

Break-even point in units= 4,160

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 104,000 / 0.25

Break-even point (dollars)= $416,000

Finally, the margin of safety in dollars as a ratio:

Current sales= (26,000 + 104,000) / 25

Current sales= 5,200

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= (5,200*100 - 416,000)

Margin of safety= $104,000

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level

Margin of safety ratio= 104,000 / 520,000

Margin of safety ratio= 0.2 = 20%

Answers

Answer:

a. The required rate of return on Okefenokee stock is 16%.

b. WACC = 10.56%.

c. Estimate the discount rate for an expansion of the company's present business.

It should be the same as the WACC = 10.56%

d. The required rate of return on Okefenokee's new venture is Ke = 18 %.

Explanation:

Here the given is,

E = $6 million, D = $4 million, Beta = 1.2,

Rmp = the expected risk premium on the market =10%.

Rf = The Treasury bill rate = 4%

a. The required rate of return on Okefenokee stock,

[tex]Ke = Rf + Beta \times Rmp = 4 + 1.2 \times 10 = 16%[/tex]%.

b. Tax rate, T = 40%

The proportion of debt =[tex]Wd = D / (D + E) = 4 / (6 + 4) = 0.4[/tex]

Proportion of equity, We = 1 - Wd = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Cost of debt, Kd = Risk-free rate as debt is free of default = 4%

[tex]WACC = Wd \times Kd \times (1 - T) + We\times Ke\\\\ = 0.4 \times4\times (1 - 40) + 0.6 \times 16\\\\ = 10.56%[/tex]

WACC = 10.56%.

c. Estimate the discount rate for an expansion of the company's present business.

It should be the same as the WACC = 10.56%

d. Suppose the company wants to diversify into the manufacture of rose-colored glasses. The beta of optical manufacturers with no debt outstanding is 1.4. What is the required rate of return on Okefenokee's new venture? (You should assume that the risky project will not enable the firm to issue an additional debt)

Nouvelle-Aquitaine Railroad is comparing two separate capital structures. The first structure consists of 405,000 shares of stock and no debt. The second structure consists of 252397 shares of stock and $1.82 million of debt. What is the price per share of equity?
a. $75.56.
b. $88.76.
c. $82.42.
d. $72.12.
e. $93.20.

Answers

Answer:

$11.93

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the price per share of equity

Using this formula

Price per share of equity = Debt under Plan II / (Number of shares under Plan I - Number of shares under Plan II)

Let plug in the formula

Price per share of equity= $1,820,000 / (405,000 - 252,397)

Price per share = $1,820,000 / 152,603

Price per share = $11.93

Therefore the price per share of equity is $11.93

In which one of the following circumstances should a company's managers seriously consider modifying their strategy to strongly differentiate the company's branded footwear from the offerings of rival companies and achieve a competitive advantage based on a wide selection of 450-500 models/styles and "high" S/Q ratings?
a) When one or more rivals produce and market branded footwear with the same (or higher) number of models/styles that the company is offering to the buyers of athletic footwear and also have below-average retail prices in the Internet segment and below-average wholesale prices in the Wholesale segment
b) When many rival companies are spending heavily on retailer support and search engine advertising
c) When one or more rivals also produce and market branded footwear having much the same (or higher) S/Q ratings and these rivals are offering higher mail-in rebates and delivering orders for branded footwear to footwear retailers in 1-2 weeks
d) When the company is struggling to achieve the sales volumes needed to meet or beat the five investor-expected performance targets because the global marketplace for branded footwear is overcrowded with companies locked in a fierce competitive battle to sell 450- 500 models of branded footwear with high S/Q ratings at premium prices to the same comparatively narrow high-end buyer segment
e) When the company's cost per branded pair sold is above the industry average in all four geographic regions

Answers

Answer:

The circumstance in which a company's managers should seriously consider modifying their strategy to strongly differentiate the company's branded footwear from the offerings of rival companies and achieve a competitive advantage based on a wide selection of 450-500 models/styles and "high" S/Q ratings is:

c) When one or more rivals also produce and market branded footwear having much the same (or higher) S/Q ratings and these rivals are offering higher mail-in rebates and delivering orders for branded footwear to footwear retailers in 1-2 weeks.

Explanation:

S/Q ratings are Athletic Footwear Styling and Quality ratings.  The ratings are championed by a consumer group, which undertakes to rate the styling and quality of the footwear of all footwear producers by assigning a styling-quality or S/Q rating of 0 to 10 stars to each company's branded footwear offerings.  If the company has the same rating with a competitor and the competitor employs some strategic moves to better its competitiveness, then the company must change its differentiation strategy.

The company manager considers modifying the strategy when there has been rival with better or same footwear quality and delivery as yours. Thus option C is correct.

The S/Q rating has been the styling and quality rating that has been assigned to the footwear by the consumer groups. The strategy for the selling of an product has been improvised in the market when there has been the presence of a competitor with the same strategy as yours.

Thus company managers seriously consider modifying their strategy when one or more rivals also produce and market branded footwear having much the same (or higher) S/Q ratings and these rivals are offering higher mail-in rebates and delivering orders for branded footwear to footwear retailers in 1-2 weeks. Thus option C is correct.

What is a bond?

A bond is a sort of security used in finance where the issuer owes the holder a debt and is required, depending on the terms, to repay the principal and interest on the bond at the maturity date.

The interest is typically due at predetermined intervals, such semiannually, annually, and less frequently at various times.

A bond is therefore a type of loan or IOU. With the help of bonds, the borrower can finance long-term investments or, in the case of government bonds, current expenses.

Although both stocks and bonds are considered securities, stockholders have an equity ownership in a corporation, whereas bondholders have a creditor stake.

Bondholders have precedence over stockholders in terms of debt. In the event of bankruptcy, they will receive payment before stockholders but after secured creditors.

Another distinction is that, unlike stocks, which often have an unlimited shelf life, bonds typically have a defined term, or maturity, after which the bond is repaid.

B. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of labor by one unit (holding capital constant).
C. if the firm reduced its capital stock by one unit, it would have to hire 3 more worlkers to maintain its eurrent level of output.
D. the marginal product of labor is 3 times the marginal product of capital.

Answers

Answer: A. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of capital by one unit (holding labor constant).

Explanation:

The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution(MRTS) is calculated as follows:

= Marginal product of labor / Marginal product of capital

= 1 / 3

Marginal product of labor = 1

Marginal product of capital = 3

This means that if one unit of labor is used, it produces 1 unit of output.

If one unit of capital is used however, it produces 3 units of output.

If a firm therefore used one unit of capital and kept labor constant, it could produce 3 units out output.
