Part 1: Firms in the real estate investment trusts (REITs), airlines, electric utilities, and paper products industries tend to have high leverage. Explain why firms in these industries would prefer to have high leverage. Part 2: Firms in the computer hardware, footwear, apparel and luxury goods, and data processing industries tend to have low leverage. Explain why firms in these industries would prefer to have low leverage.
Answer and Explanation:
1. Firms in the real estate industry have high leverage because they are capital intensive businesses, requiring higher capital for their operations and do not make profit or reach breakeven early. Therefore they are more inclined to leveraging than the share market .There is also the benefit of tax savings from debt sources
2. Firms in the computer hardware, footwear, apparel and luxury goods, and data processing industries have low leverage because they can reach breakeven or make profit early and so can rely on share market as against real estate industry.

ABC Ltd (ABC) engaged the accounting firm of Ace & King to perform its annual audit. Ace amp; King performed the audit in a competent, non-negligent manner and billed ABC for $30 000, the agreed fee. Shortly after delivery of the audited financial report, Sam Lloyd, the assistant controller, disappeared, taking with him $40 000 of ABCâ s funds. It was then discovered that Sam had been engaged in a highly sophisticated, novel defalcation scheme during the past year. He had previously embezzled $50 000 of ABCâ s funds. ABC has refused to pay the auditorâ s fee and is seeking to recover the $90 000 that was stolen by Sam. Which of the following is correct?
The auditor cannot recover the audit fee and is liable for $90 000.
The auditor is entitled to collect the audit fee and is not liable for $90 000.
ABC is entitled to recover the $40 000 defalcation of the current year and is not liable for the $30 000 fee.
ABC is entitled to rescind the audit contract and thus is not liable for the $30 000 fee, but it cannot recover damages.
Answer:
The auditor is entitled to collect the audit fee and is not liable for $90 000.
Explanation:
Ace & King did their job in a competent way, the fact that the company's controller was doing something illegal is not their responsibility. External auditors work with the information that is given to them and their job is limited to analyzing them and making their conclusions about them.
In this case, the controller was the person responsible for giving the information to the auditing company, so he had the chance to direct their conclusions. An external auditor is not responsible for what happens inside a firm, and if someone steals money or assets, he/she is responsible for it.
Consider a variant of the IS-LM model studied in class, where Investment, I = I0 + b1*Y - b2*r, and the demand for money, L(r,Y) = m0 + k*Y - h*r. We know with certainty that a tax increase must cause which of the following?
a. a decrease in the interest rate and an ambiguous effect on investment.
b. an increase in the interest rate and an upward shift in the LM curve.
c. no change in output if the Fed simultaneously pursues expansionary monetary policy.
d. a decrease in the interest rate and an increase in investment.
Answer:
The correct answer is D
Explanation:
Taxes have a regressive effect on Aggregate Consumption which in turn catalyses a decrease in output/income.
Lower income/output will lead to lower interest rate because a drop in demand will result in a drop in supply. When companies are not producing, there is no point seeking investment in the form of debt or equity. Hence interest rate also drops.
At this point, businesses become interested in borrowing funds given the low rate of interest.
Cheers!
The following information is from ABC Company's general ledger: Beginning and ending inventories, respectively, for raw materials were $16,000 and $20,000 and for work in process were $40,000 and $44,000. Raw material purchases and direct labor costs incurred were $72,000 each, and manufacturing overhead applied amounted to $40,000. Determine the total cost of goods manufactured during the period.
Answer:
cost of goods manufactured= $176,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials:
Beginning inventory= $16,000
Ending inventory= $20,000
Purchase= $72,000
WIP:
Beginning inventory= $40,000
Ending inventory= $44,000
Direct labor= $72,000
Manufacturing overhead applied= $40,000
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 16,000 + 72,000 - 20,000= 68,000
cost of goods manufactured= 40,000 + 68,000 + 72,000 + 40,000 - 44,000
cost of goods manufactured= $176,000
Two products, QI and VH, emerge from a joint process. Product QI has been allocated $12,300 of the total joint costs of $33,000. A total of 1,900 units of product QI are produced from the joint process. Product QI can be sold at the split-off point for $13 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $11,000 and then sold for $15 per unit. If product QI is processed further and sold, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company compared with sale in its unprocessed form directly after the split-off point?
Answer:
Profit from selling at the split-off point = $13 x 1,900 units = $24,700
Profit from Processing further: = $15 x 1,900 - Processing total cost of $11,000
= $28,500 - $11,000
= $17,500
Comparison
$24,700 - $17,500
=$7,200
There is a decrease in overall profit
Conclusion: If product QI is processed further and sold, then overall profit will decrease by $7,200.
Suppose a brand has a heavy usage index of 1.5, penetration share of 0.6 and a market share of 15%. What is the share of wallet
Answer:
0.167
Explanation:
Given the following :
Heavy usage index = 1.5
Penetration share = 0.6
Market share = 15%
Using the formula:
Heavy usage index =
market share % / [Penetration share * share of wallet]
1.5 = 15% / [0.6 * share of wallet]
1.5 × [0.6 × share of wallet] = 15%
0.9 × share of wallet = 15%
Divide both sides by 0.9
Share of wallet = 15% / 0.9
Share of wallet = 0.15 / 0.9
Share of wallet = 0.16666
Share of wallet = 0.167
A company purchased a machine for $100,000. The accumulated depreciation on the machine is now $100,000. Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the disposal of the machine for no cash proceeds?
A) There will be no gain or loss on the disposal.
B) The journal entry to record the disposal will decrease net assets.
C) The cost of the asset, but not its accumulated depreciation, must be removed from the books.
D) A gain or loss on the disposal can occur.
Answer:
A) There will be no gain or loss on the disposal.
Explanation:
Given that
Purchase value of a machine = $100,000
Accumulated depreciation = $100,000
Based on the above information
Since the purchase value is equivalent to the accumulated depreciation i.e. both the amount consist of $100,000
So at the time of sale of the machine no loss or gain should be there
Hence, the correct option is A.
Some shows are produced specifically for the syndication market. These are known as ________ syndication.
Answer: First-run syndication

A company manufactures and sells x smartphones per week. The weekly price-demand and cost equations are p=500−0.5x and C(x)=20,000+135x respectively.
a. What price should the company charge for the phones and how many phones should be produced to maximize the weekly revenue? What is the maximum weekly revenue ?
b. What is the maximum weekly profit ? How much should the company charge for the phones, and how many phones should be produced to realize the maximum weekly profit ?
Answer:
a)
revenue = x amount of phones x price
revenue = x(500 - 0.5x)
revenue = 500x - 0.5x²
we find revenue' (derivative):
revenue' = 500 - x
x = 500
the company should sell 500 smartphones to maximize revenue, the selling price = 500 - (0.5 x 500) = $250 per smartphone. Maximum weekly revenue = $250 x 500 = $125,000
b)
profit = revenue - cost
profit = 500x - 0.5x² - 20,000 - 135x
profit = -0.5x² + 365x - 20,000
we must find profit' (derivative):
profit' = -x + 365
x = 365
In order to maximize profits, you have to sell 365 smartphones per week. Maximum weekly profit = -0.5(365²) + 365(365) - 20,000 = -66,612.50 + 133,225 - 20,000 = $46,612.50.
The smartphone's price = 500 - (0.5 x 365) = $317.50

If all investors become more less risk-averse, the SML will _______________ and stock required returns will ________.
a. have the same slope but larger intercept; fall
b. have the same intercept with a flatter slope; fall
c. have the same intercept with a steeper slope; rise
d. have the same slope but smaller intercept; rise
Answer:
Option B, have the same intercept with a flatter slope; fall.
Explanation:
Option B is correct because a more risk-averse person faces a steeper curve while the less risk-averse person faces a flatter slope. While the more risk-averse person has more return on the stock while the less risk-averse person has less return. Therefore, in the given situation, the SML will have the flatter slope and its return will fall. As it is a less risk-averse investor.
You need a 25-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $210,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at a 7.1 percent APR for this 300-month loan. However, you can afford monthly payments of only $950, so you offer to pay off any remaining loan balance at the end of the loan in the form of a single balloon payment. How large will this balloon payment have to be for you to keep your monthly payments at $950?
Answer:
$450,732, the loan's principal balance increases because the monthly payment doesn't even cover interest expense
Explanation:
In order for you to pay the debt completely in 25 years, you would need to pay $1,497.66 per month. But since you can only afford to pay $950 per month, the remaining balance will be $450,732.

Shelley wants to cash in her winning lottery ticket. She can either receive fourteen, $188,000 semiannual payments starting today, or she can receive a single-amount payment today based on a 6% annual interest rate. What is the single-amount payment she can receive today
Answer:
$2,123,661.75
Explanation:
We are to find the present value of the payments
but first we are to determine the future value of the payments
The formula for calculating future value = A (B / r)
B = [(1 + r)^n] - 1
R = interest rate = 6% / 2 = 3%
N = number of years = 14
(1.03^14 - 1 ) / 0.03 = 17.086324
$188,000 x 17.086324 = $3,212,228.94
Present value = future value(1 + r ) ^-N
$3,212,228.94(1.03)^-14 = $2,123,661.75

You buy a stock at $100 and sell it for $140;what is the percentage return if the margin requirement is 40 % and the interest rate of borrowed funds is 10%.
Answer:
Return on your investment (ROI) = 60%
Explanation:
Return on investment would be the proportion of the amount invested that is earned as profit. Note the following :
The amount earned as cash return would be determined as the capital gains less the interest on the loan.
Also, the amount invested would refer to the personal capital contribution made by the investor. This implies the total cost of the stock less the interest earned on the amount borrowed.
The principles above are illustrated as follows:
Capital gain on stock = stock price at the end - stock price at the beginning
Stock price at the end = 140
Capital gain = 140 - 100 = 40
Cost of fund = interest rate × amount borrowed
Amount borrowed = 40% × 100 = 40
Cost of fund = 10% × (40% × 100) = 4
Return on investment = Capital gains - cost of funds /(Total cost - amount borrowed)
ROI = (40 - 4)/(100 - 40)× 100 = 20%
Return on your investment (ROI) = 60%

The income summary account has expenses of $65,000 and revenues of $55,000. The company had which of the following: Select one: a. Net income of $10,000 b. Net income of $120,000 c. Net loss of $10,000 d. Net loss of $120,000
Answer: Net loss of $10,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the income summary account has expenses of $65,000 and revenues of $55,000.
In this scenario, since the expense is more than the revenue, it means that there will be a net loss. Therefore, the net loss will be calculated as:
= $65,000 - $55,000
= $10,000
There's a net loss of $10,000.

Answer:
Total direct labor costs= $295,680
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Each Pod requires 1.4 hours of labor at a labor rate of $9.60 per hour.
Production= 22,000 Pods.
First, we need to calculate the total direct labor hours required:
Total direct labor hours= 22,000*1.4= 30,800 hours
Now, the total direct labor costs:
Total direct labor costs= 30,800*9.6
Total direct labor costs= $295,680
