Arnell Industries has $35 million in permanent debt outstanding. The firm will pay interest only on this debt. Arnell's marginal tax rate is expected to be 30% for the foreseeable future. a. Suppose Arnell pays interest of 9% per year on its debt. What is its annual interest tax shield? b. What is the present value of the interest tax shield, assuming its risk is the same as the loan? c. Suppose instead the interest rate on the debt were 7%. What is the present value of the interest tax shield in this case?
Answer:
a. Annual Interest tax shield = Debt * Interest * Tax Rate
Annual Interest tax shield = $35 million *9% *30%
Annual Interest tax shield = $0.945 million
b. PV of tax shield = $35 million *9% *30% / 9%
PV of tax shield = $10.50 million
c. PV of tax shield at 7% = 35million *7% *30% / 7%
PV of tax shield at 7% = $10.50 million

B) Forming alliances and partnerships with local companies in every country market where the company opts to compete, so as to facilitate use of an act global, think local strategic approach
C) Global strategies- where a company employs a think global, act global approach to crafting its strategy for competing in all country markets where it has a presence
D) Franchising and licensing strategies
E) Maintaining a national (one -country) production base and exporting goods to foreign markets
Answer:
B) Forming alliances and partnerships with local companies in every country market where the company opts to compete, so as to facilitate use of an act global, think local strategic approach
Explanation:
This is usually not the first or primary strategy that may be employed by a company. For example, a new company that has a lower market reach may not consider going to forming alliances and partnerships with local companies in every country market because of its limited finances.
However, a bigger company like Coca-cola wanting to compete may use this strategy.
Sperazza Corporation produces large commercial doors for warehouses and other facilities. In the most recent month, the company budgeted production of 6,200 doors. Actual production was 6,600 doors. According to standards, each door requires 6.4 machine-hours. The actual machine-hours for the month were 43,490 machine-hours. The standard supplies cost is $2.20 per machine-hour. The actual supplies cost for the month was $87,415. Supplies cost is an element of variable manufacturing overhead. The variable overhead efficiency variance for supplies cost is:
Answer:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $2,310 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual production was 6,600 doors.
According to standards, each door requires 6.4 machine-hours.
The actual machine-hours for the month were 43,490 machine-hours.
The standard supplies cost is $2.20 per machine-hour.
To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
Standard quantity= 6.4*6,600= 42,440
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (42,440 - 43,490)*2.2
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $2,310 unfavorable
"A customer buys 100 shares of ABC at $90, depositing the Regulation T requirement. She holds the position for two months, during which $100 of interest is charged on the debit balance. What is the adjusted debit balance at the end of the two month period?"
Answer:
$4,600
Explanation:
Calculation for the adjusted debit balance at the end of the two month period
Using this formula
Adjusted debit balance = (Number of shares × Shares amount ÷ Numbers of months) + Interest amount
Let plug in the formula
Adjusted debit balance= (100 shares ×$90÷2 months) +$100
Adjusted debit balance = ($9,000÷ 2 months) +$100
Adjusted debit balance=$4,500+$100
Adjusted debit balance=$4,600
Therefore the adjusted debit balance at the end of the two month period will be $4,600
The economy is generally better off when monopolies are broken up. Why is it hard for governments to do this

Suppose you bought a bond with an annual coupon rate of 4.6 percent one year ago for $930. The bond sells for $955 today.
a. Assuming a $1,000 face value, what was your total dollar return on this investment over the past year?
b. What was your total nominal rate of return on this investment over the past year?
Answer:
a. $71
b. 7.63%
Explanation:
a) The total dollar return is = Increase in Price + the coupon payment
Total dollar return = $955 – 930 + 46
Total dollar return = $71
b) The total percentage return of the bond is = Total dollar return / Previous Bond Price
R = [($955 – 930) + 46] / $930
R = 0.0763
R = 7.63%
perline, inc., has balance sheet equity of $6.2 million.At the same time, the income statement shows net income of $948600. The company paid dividends of $493272 and has 100000 shares of stock outstanding. If the benchmark PE ratio is 26, what is the target stock price in one year?
Answer:
The target stock price in one year is $264.75
Explanation:
We first calculate the ROE as below
ROE= Earnings / Book value of Equity
ROE= $948,600 / $6,200,000
ROE= 0.153
The payout ratio is:
b= Dividend / Net income
b = $493,272 / $948,600
b = 0.52
So the sustainable growth rate is:
g = ROE * (1-b)
g = 0.153 * (1-0.52)
g = 0.153 * 0.48
g = 0.07344
The earning in the first year are
EPS1 = $948,600 / 100,000 * (1 + 0.07344)
EPS1 = $9.486 * 1.07344
EPS1 = $10.1827
According to the benchmark PE ratio, the target stock price in one year is
Price = EPS1 * 26
Price = $10.1827 * 26
Price = $264.75

By Placing values in the formula
Cash Payment made to suppliers = $1,200,000 + $120,000 - $40,000
ash Payment made to suppliers = $1,280,000
One common problem with the current ratio is that it is susceptible to "window dressing." If prior to the end of the accounting period Saxon Company has a current ratio of 1.5 and management wishes to boost its current ratio it may decide to:___________
a. purchase short-term investments with cash.
b. purchase more inventory with cash.
c. pay off accounts payable prior to year-end.
d. purchase more inventory on account.
Answer:
c. pay off accounts payable prior to year-end.

The current ratio refers to the relationship between the current assets and the current liabilities
The formula to compute is as follows
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ current liabilities
It is a liquidity ratio that represents the liquidity of the company
Now for improving the current ratio first the company pay off the account payable before the year ending as it automatically reduced the balance of account payable
Hence, the correct option is c.
Although debt financing is usually the cheapest component of capital, it cannot be used in excess because
Answer:
C. the financial risk of the firm may increase and thus drive up the cost of all sources of financing.
Explanation:
As we know that debt financing is the cheapest source of capital but it could not be used in excess as it rises the financial risk in terms of high interest payments made to the debt holders
Also at the time of recession, the firm is not able to earn properly so it would be very difficult to make the fixed payments i.e. interest and principal payments
Also the weighted average cost of capital also rises in the case when there is an excess of debt financing
Hence, the option c is correct

The amortization of flotation costs reduces taxes and thus provides an annual cash flow. What will the net increase or decrease in the annual flotation cost tax savings be if refunding takes place
New York Waste (NYW) is considering refunding a $50,000,000, annual payment, 14% coupon, 30-year bond issue that was issued 5 years ago. It has been amortizing $3 million of flotation costs on these bonds over their 30-year life. The company could sell a new issue of 25-year bonds at an annual interest rate of 11.67% in today's market. A call premium of 14% would be required to retire the old bonds, and flotation costs on the new issue would amount to $3 million. NYW's marginal tax rate is 40%. The new bonds would be issued when the old bonds are called.The amortization of flotation costs reduces taxes and thus provides an annual cash flow.
a) What will the net increase or decrease in the annual flotation cost tax savings be if refunding takes place?
a. $6,480 b. $7,200 c. $8,000 d. $8,800 e. $9,680
Answer:
C. $8,000
Explanation:
Given the following parameters
Amount: $50,000,000,
Call premium %: 14%
Old rate: 14.00%
Tax rate: 40%
Original life: 30
New rate: 11.67%
Years ago issued: 5
New life: 25
Original flotation cost: $3,000,000
New flotation cost: $3,000,000
Years remaining on old bond: 25
Then we solve for old new annual amortization tax effects:
Flotation costs benefit, new: ($3,000,000/25)(0.4) = $48,000
Flotation costs lost, old: ($3,000,000/30)(0.4) = $40,000
Net annual amortization tax effects = New flotation cost - Old floatation cost
=> $48,000 - $40,000 = $8,000
Hence, the right answer is $8,000
The following data relate to labor cost for production of 3,600 cellular telephones: Actual: 2,430 hrs. at $14.5 Standard: 2,390 hrs. at $14.8 a. Determine the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Direct labor rate variance, it is
= (Actual rate - Standard rate) × Actual hour
= ($14.5 - $14.8) × 2,430 hours
= $729 favorable
For Time variance, it is
= (Actual hours - standard hours) × standard rate
= (2,430 hours - 2,390 hours) × $14.80
= $592 unfavorable
So, the Total labour cost variance is
= $729 favorable + $592 unfavorable
= $137 favorable
Mercer, Inc. provides the following data for 2019: Net Sales Revenue Cost of Goods Sold The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is ________. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
The question is incomplete as it is missing the figures. The complete question is,
Mercer, Inc. provides the following data for 2019:
Net Sales Revenue 598000
Cost of Goods Sold 350000
The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is ________. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 0.4147 or 41.47%
Explanation:
The gross profit is a profit earned by a business through its trading activity. It is calculated by deducting the cost of goods sold from the net sales revenue and it is the profit earned by a business before deducting any operating and non operating expenses of the business.
Gross profit = Net Sales - Cost of goods sold
Gross Profit = 598000 - 350000 = $248000
The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is,
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = Gross profit / Net Sales
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 248000 / 598000
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 0.4147 or 41.47%
Consider two spices, cumin and paprika, to be substitutes, a decrease in the supply of paprika, should cause an increase in the price of
Answer:
an increase in the price of both
Explanation:
A decrease in the supply of paprika would cause an increase in the price of both substitute goods. When the supply of paprika falls, the demand will be greater than what is available for sale and this would cause the sellers to raise it's price afterall it is now scarce.
Also as a substitute good, more people would begin to switch to buying cummin which would raise the demand for cummin. This increase in demand for cummin would then cause the price of cummin to go up.
Given a stock index with a value of $1,500, an anticipated dividend of $62 and a risk-free rate of 5.75%, what should be the value of one futures contract on the index?

Answer:
The production level for the maximum profit is about 1215 units.
Explanation:
The given income is R(x)= 6x-2x2 and the given cost is C(x)= x3-3x2+4x+1 where x is the quantity of units created and sold.
At that point the benefit work is P(x) = R(x)- C(x) = (6x-2x2) – (x3-3x2+4x+1) = - x3+x2+2x - 1.
The benefit will be most extreme when dP/dx is 0 and d2P/dx2 is negative. Here, dP/dx = - 3x2+2x+2 and d2P/dx2 = - 6x+2 .
On utilizing the quadratic recipe, on the off chance that dP/dx = 0, at that point x = [ - 2 ± √{ 22-4*(- 3)*2]/2*(- 3) = [-2 ± √(4+24)]/(- 6) = (2± √ 28)/6 = (1 ± √7)/3 . Since x can't be negative, consequently x = (1 + √7)/3 = 1.215250437 , state 1.215 ( on adjusting to the closest thousandth).
Likewise, d2P/dx2 is negative when x = 1.215, at that point .
Subsequently, the benefit will be greatest when 1215 units are created and sold.
The creation level for the greatest benefit is around 1215 units.

Mia has an outside basis of $50,000 in the Brimstone Partnership, including her share of liabilities of $25,000. In a liquidating distribution, she receives cash of $10,000 and inventory worth $8,000 (inside basis to Brimstone of $20,000). What is Mia's recognized gain or loss on the liquidation and basis in the property received
Answer:
$0 gain or loss
Cash basis $10,000
Inventory $15,000
Explanation:
Calculation for Mia’s recognized gain or loss on the liquidation and basis in the property received
First step is for us to calculate for the outside adjusted basis
Using this formula
Outside adjusted basis=Outside basis - Liabilities
Let plug in the formula
Outside adjusted basis=$50,000 - $25,000
Outside adjusted basis= $25,000
Second step is to calculate for theGain or loss
Using this formula
Gain/Loss=Outside adjusted basis- Cash received - Inside basis
Let plug in the formula
Gain/Loss =$25,000 -$10,000 -$20,000
Gain/Loss = ($5,000)
Based on the above calculation for Mia Gain/loss in which Mia had ($5,000) this means there is $0 gain or loss
Third step is to calculate for the Inventory
Using this formula
Inventory = Cash + Gain/Loss
Let plug in the formula
Inventory =$10,000 + $5,000
Inventory = $15,000
In summary Mai will have $0 gain or loss, the Cash basis amount will be $10,000 while the Inventory amount will be $15,000

Salmone Company reported the following purchases and sales of its only product. Salmone uses a perpetual inventory system. Determine the cost assigned to ending inventory using LIFO.
Date Activities Units Acquired at Cost Units Sold at Retail
May 1 Beginning Inventory 150 units at $10.00
5 Purchase 220 units at $12.00
10 Sales 140 units at $20.00
15 Purchase 100 units at $13.00
24 Sales 90 units at $21.0
Answer:
Value of closing inventory =$1290
Explanation:
Under the LIFO inventory system units of inventory are priced using the price of the most recent batch purchased and this continues in turn.
The value of closing inventory = Total cost of inventory available for sales - cost of goods sold
The cost of inventory sold would be determined as follows:
140 units :140 × $12=1,680
90 units : 90× $13 = 1,170
Total cost of goods = 1,680 + 1,170 = 2,850
Total cost of inventory available for sales would be equal to :
(150 × $10.00) + (220 ×$12.00) = 4,140
The value of closing inventory = Total cost of inventory available for sales - cost of goods sold
4,140 - 2,850 = $1290
Value of closing inventory =$1290

Answer: A) notify the MLS of the status change
Explanation:
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a platform that serves to connect Real Estate professionals and the properties they are trying to sell that way they can each market the other's properties and increase the reach of the listing.
As the listing agent of a property, the agent was the one who posted the listing on the MLS and so when the property is sold, the agent should contact the MLS and let it know that the property has been sold so that they may take appropriate action.
