Explanation:
The Howland Carpet Company has grown rapidly during the past 5 years. Recently, its commercial bank urged the company to consider increasing its permanent financing. Its bank loan under a line of credit has risen to $250,000 carrying an 8% interest rate. Howland has been 30 to 60 days late in paying trade creditors.
Discussions with an investment banker have resulted in the decision to raise $500,000 at this time. Investment bankers have assured the firm that the following alternatives are feasible (flotation costs will be ignored).
* Alternative 1: Sell common stock at $8
* Alternative 2: Sell convertible bonds at an 8% coupon, convertible into 100 shares of common stock for each $1,000 bond (i.e., the conversion price is $10 per share).
* Alternative 3: Sell debentures at an 8% coupon, each $1,000 bond carrying 100 warrants to buy common stock at $10.
John L. Howland, the president, owns 80% of the common stock and wishes to maintain control of the company. There are 100,000 shares outstanding. The following are extracts of Howland
Answer:
Alternative 3 ( Sell debentures at an 8% coupon, each $1,000 bond carrying 100 warrants to buy common stock at $10) is the best alternative if Mr. John is to maintain control of the company
Explanation:
Given data :
Bank loan under a line of credit = $250,000
interest rate on bank loan = 8%
lateness = 30 to 60 days
Action : To raise $500,000
Question : Determine the best Alternative for John Howland if he wants to maintain control of the company
Considering alternative 1 ( sell common stock at $8 )
Current liabilities = $150,000
Common stock, par $1 = $600,000
retained earnings = $50,000
Total claims / Total assets = $800,000
next determine Mr. John Howland control here
no of shares issued = 62500 ( 500000/8)
Total shares outstanding = 100,000 + 62500 = 162500
shares owned by Howland = 80% * 100,000 = 80,000
percentage of Howland's share =( 80,000 / 162500 ) * 100 = 49.23%
Next show the effect of earnings per share ( EPS )
EBIT = 20% * 800,000 = $160,000
interest = $0
EBT = $160,000 - $0 = $160,000
Taxes = 40% * 160,000 = $64,000
net income = 160,000 - 64,000 = $96,000
outstanding shares = 162,500
EPS = $0.59
Next determine the debt ratio ( TL / TA )
= current liabilities / Total claims
= 150,000 / 800,000 = 18.75%
Note : After repeating the same processes for Alternative 2 and 3
Alternative 2 ( Sell convertible bonds at an 8% coupon, convertible into 100 shares of common stock for each $1,000 bond (i.e., the conversion price is $10 per share).
Total assets / Total claims = $800,000
Mr. Howland control in Alternative 2 = 53.33%
EPS = $0.64
Debt ratio ( TL/TA ) = 18.75%
Alternative 3 ( Sell debentures at an 8% coupon, each $1,000 bond carrying 100 warrants to buy common stock at $10.
Total assets / Total claims = $1300000
Mr. Howland control in Alternative 3 = 53.33 %
EPS = $0.88
Debit ratio ( TL / TA ) = 50.0%
For John L Howland to maintain control of the company we have to choose an alternative with the Highest EPS value and exerts the highest control in percentage for John Howland and that Alternative is Alternative 3
Consider the economy of Citronia, where citizens consume only oranges. Assume that oranges cost $1 each, and each person can buy at most 5,000 oranges. The government has devised the following tax plans:
Plan A Plan B
Consumption up to 1,000 oranges is taxed at 20%. Consumption up to 2,000 oranges is taxed at 30%.
Consumption higher than 1,000 oranges is taxed at 80%. Consumption higher than 2,000 oranges is taxed at 10%.
Required:
Derive the marginal and average tax rates under each tax plan at the consumption levels of 500 oranges.
Explanation:
We are to find marginal tax and average tax rate at a consumption level of 500 oranges for plan A and plan B
Plan A
Consumption level = 500 oranges
Tax = 20%
Tax payable on this = 500 x 20% = 500 x 0.2 = 100
Marginal tax rate = 20 %
Average tax return = 100/500 = 0.2x100 = 20%
Plan B
At tax rate = 30%
Same consumption level
Tax payable = 500 x 30% = 500 x 0.3 = 150
Marginal tax rate = 30%
Average tax rate = 150/500 = 0.3 x 100 = 30%

Blair Madison Co. issues $2.0 million of new stock and pays $291,000 in cash dividends during the year. In addition, the company took advantage of falling interest rates to borrow $1.60 million in a new bond issue and paid off existing bonds with a face value of $2.50 million. The company bought 510 of another company's $1,100 bonds at a $110,000 premium. The net cash flow provided by financing activities is:
Answer:
$809,000
Explanation:
Bliss madison offers $2,000,000 new stocks
He pays $291,000 in cash dividend
The company took advantage of the falling interest rate to borrow $1,600,000
They paid off bonds with an existing face value of $2,500,000
Therefore the net cash flow can be calculated as follows
= 2,000,000-291,000+1,600,000-2,500,000
= 809,000
Hence the net cash flow is $809,000
Ingersoll Company has a bond currently outstanding. The bond has a face value of $1,000 and matures in 10 years. The bond makes no coupon payments for the first three years, then pays $45 every six months over the subsequent four years, and finally pays $100 every six months over the last three years. If the required return on these bonds is 5.8% percent compounded semiannually, what is the current price of the bond
Answer:
$1,196.01
Explanation:
What is the current price of the bond
Face value of Bond = $1000
Term (maturity time) = 10 years
periods = 10 *2 = 20 ( semiannual compound of interest )
Yield = 5.8%. semiannual yield = 5.8% / 2 = 2.9% = 0.029
Next : calculate the value of bond using the relationship below
Discounting factor = 1/(1 + r)^n
n = number of payments
note : payments are made semiannually

The following beginning and ending inventory balances apply to Holder Company: Beginning Ending Raw Materials Inventory $ 24,000 $ 22,000 Work in Process Inventory 32,000 33,000 Finished Goods Inventory 20,000 17,000 During the accounting period, the company purchased $234,000 of direct raw materials. It incurred $180,000 of direct labor costs for the year and allocated $260,000 of manufacturing overhead costs to work in process. There was no overapplied or underapplied overhead. Revenue from goods sold during the year was $800,000.The amount of cost of goods manufactured (amount transferred from WIP to finished goods) was
Answer:
Cost of goods manufactured= 675,000
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials used + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 32,000 + (24,000 + 234,000 - 22,000) + 180,000 + 260,000 - 33,000
cost of goods manufactured= 675,000
Calgary Manufacturing company makes chairs and desks. The following costs were incurred in making its products during its first year of operation. Chairs Desks Total Direct Materials $ 8,500 $ 10,500 $ 19,000 Direct Labor 16,500 12,500 29,000 Also the company incurred $22,910 of employee benefits cost. Since these overhead costs are driven by the use of labor they are allocated to the products based on the direct labor dollars. Based on this information alone the total cost of making chairs is. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer: $38035
Explanation:
Firstly, the allocation rate per labor will be: = Allocated cost / Allocation base
= $22910 / $29000
= $0.79 per labor
Overhead cost allocated to chairs will be:
= $16500 x 0.79 = $13035
Overhead cost allocated to Desks will be:
= $12500 × 0.79 = $9875
The total cost of making chairs will then be:
= Material cost + Labor cost + Overhead cost
= $8500 + $16500 + $13035
= $38035

The expected return on a portfolio: Group of answer choices can be greater than the expected return on the best performing security in the portfolio. can be less than the expected return on the worst performing security in the portfolio. is independent of the performance of the overall economy. is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio. is an arithmetic average of the returns of the individual securities when the weights of those securities are unequal.
Answer:
is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio
Explanation:
Portfolio is simply defined as a list of securities showing how much is (or will be) invested in each of them.
The expected return on a portfolio is calculated as the weighted average of the expected returns on the securities that the portfolio involves. The weight of each security is the a Portion or a fraction of wealth invested in that security. Expected return on a portfolio of N securities is: rp= sum (Xr).
Expected Return is usually based on anticipated income and anticipated capital appreciation.

Hinkle Corporation buys on terms of 2/15, net 60 days. It does not take discounts, and it typically pays on time, 60 days after the invoice date. Net purchases amount to $550,000 per year. On average, what is the dollar amount of total trade credit (costly free) the firm receives during the year, i.e., what are its average accounts payable
Answer: $90,411
Explanation:
Average Accounts payable = Net Purchases * Average collection period / 365
Average collection period is 60 days
Net Purchases as stated is $550,000
Average accounts payable = 550,000 * 60 / 365
= 90,410.9589
= $90,411
Jane Industries manufactures plastic toys. During October, Jane's Fabrication Department started work on 10,400 models. During the month, the company completed 11,200 models, and transferred them to the Distribution Department. The company ended the month with 2200 models in ending inventory. There were 3000 models in beginning inventory. All direct materials costs are added at the beginning of the production cycle and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. The FIFO method of process costing is being followed. Beginning work in process was 30% complete as to conversion costs, while ending work in process was 55% complete as to conversion costs.
Beginning inventory​:
Direct materials costs $20,000
Conversion costs $11,100
Manufacturing costs added during the accounting period​:
Direct materials costs $70,700
Conversion costs $240,500
What is the amount of direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process inventory at the end of October?
a. $19,783
b. $20,337
c. $10,923
d. $14,916
Answer:
d. $14,916
Explanation:
Note that Jane Industries uses FIFO method of process costing.
Step 1 : Equivalent Units in respect of materials
Materials = 3,000 x 0 % + 8,200 x 100% + 2,200 x 100%
= 10,400 units
Step 2 : Cost per Equivalent unit in respect of materials
Cost per Equivalent = $70,700 ÷ 10,400 units
= $6.80
Step 3 : direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process
Ending work-in-process (Materials Cost) = 2,200 x $6.80
= $14,960
On April 1, Year 1, Fossil Energy Company purchased an oil producing well at a cash cost of $11,100,000. It is estimated that the oil well contains 840,000 barrels of oil, of which only 740,000 can be profitably extracted. By December 31, Year 1, 37,000 barrels of oil were produced and sold. What is depletion expense for Year 1 on this well
Answer:
$555,000
Explanation:
Depletion expense = barrels mined in year 1 / barrels that can be profitably extracted ) x cost of the well
37,000 / 740,000) x 11,100.000 = $555,000
Barrington Industries anticipated selling 29,000 units of a major product and paying sales commissions of $6 per unit. Actual sales and sales commissions totaled 31,500 units and $182,700, respectively. If the company used a static budget for performance evaluations, Barrington would report a cost variance of: Multiple Choice $6,300U. $6,300F. $8,700U. $8,700F. None of the answers is correct.
Answer:
Barrington would report $8,700U cost variance.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Actual sales commissions = $182,700
Budgeted sales commissions = Anticipated sales units * commissions of per unit = 29,000 * $6 = $174,000
Sales commission cost variance = Actual sales commissions - Budgeted sales commissions = $182,700 - $174,000 = $8,700U
Since the Actual sales commissions is greater than Budgeted sales commissions, the cost variance is unfavourable and Barrington would report $8,700U cost variance.
13. Suppose we can postpone investment three years and, with the new improved technology, the project will have similar risk but for an investment of $5 million will generate perpetual cash flows (beginning exactly one year after the investment) of $500,000. Would you recommend that we invest in the original project or wait three years to invest in the new project
Answer:
Invest in the original project.
Explanation:
It is better for the company to invest in the current project rather than waiting for three year. The project after three years will require initial investment of $5 million and will provide returns of $500,000. These cash flows needs to be discounted at a discount factor to determine the present value of the cash flow. The value of money three years later will be lower than the current value.
Super Saver Groceries purchased store equipment for $43,000. Super Saver estimates that at the end of its 10-year service life, the equipment will be worth $4,000. During the 10-year period, the company expects to use the equipment for a total of 13,000 hours. Super Saver used the equipment for 1,200 hours the first year. Required: Calculate depreciation expense of the equipment for the first year, using each of the following methods. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
$3900
$8600
$3600
Explanation:
This is the remaining part of the question :
Required: Calculate depreciation expense of the equipment for the first year, using each of the following methods
1. Straight-line.
2.Double Declining Method
3.Activity Based
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(43,000 - 4000) / 10 = $3900
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/10 = 0.2
Depreciation expense = 0.2 x $43,000 = $8600
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(1200 / 13,000) x (43,000 - 4000) = $3600
On the basis of the following data, determine the value of the inventory at the lower of cost or market.
Inventory Item Inventory Quantity Cost per Unit Market Value per Unit
(Net Realizable Value)
Birch 100 $125 $120
Cypress 75 100 108
Mountain Ash 80 90 86
Spruce 130 74 80
Willow 60 105 98
Answer:

Birch 12,000
Cypress 7,500
Mountain Ash 6,880
Spruce 9,620
Willow 5,880
Total 41,880
Therefore, total inventory value is $41,880.

Setrakian Industries needs to raise $48.5 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 5.56 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 10 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.13 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds
Answer:
25,317 unit
Explanation:
Current price of bond = PV(Rate, Nper, Pmt, Fv)
Current price of bond = PV(6.13%/2, 10*2 ,5.56%/2*2000, 2000)
Current price of bond = $1,915.71

Number of bonds to issue = 25316.98430
Number of bonds to issue = 25,317 unit
You just won the $114 million ultimate lotto jackpot. Your winnings will be paid as $3,800,000 per year for the next 30 years. If the appropriate interest rate is 7.1% what is the value of your windfall?
Answer:
$46,684,511.77
Explanation:
To determine the value of the windfall, we would first determine the future value of the windfall and then determine the present value
Future value = annuity x annuity factor
Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r
FV = P (1 + r) n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
Annuity factor = [(1.071)^30 - 1] / 0.071 = 96.177470
FV = $3,800,000 x 96.177470 = 365,474,386
Present value = FV x ( 1 +r)^-n
365,474,386 x (1.071)^-30 = $46,684,511.77
