Crane Company uses a periodic inventory system. Details for the inventory account for the month of January, 2020 are as follows: Units Per unit price Total Balance, 1/1/20 150$4.00$600 Purchase, 1/15/20 705.10 357 Purchase, 1/28/20 705.30 371 An end of the month (1/31/20) inventory showed that 110 units were on hand. If the company uses LIFO, what is the value of the ending inventory
Answer:
Crane Company
If Crane Company uses LIFO, the value of the ending inventory is:
= $440.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Units Unit Cost Total Cost
1/1/20 inventory 150 $4.00 $600
1/15/20 Purchase, 70 5.10 357
1/28/20 Purchase, 70 5.30 371
Total 240 $1,328
1/31/20 inventory 110 $4.00 $440 ($4.00 * 110)
b) The LIFO method assumes that goods that are sold first are the last that were purchased. Therefore, the cost of the ending inventory is usually based on the cost of the earlier inventory purchased. In our case, the cost per unit was based on the beginning inventory balance.

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

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%

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

Both you and your older brother would like to have $28,000 in 13 in years. Because of your success in this class, you feel that you are a more savvy investor than your brother and will be able to earn an annual return of 11.2 percent compared to your brother's 10.4 percent. How much less than your brother will you have to deposit today
Answer:
$693.16
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much less than your brother will you have to deposit today
Using this formula
FV= Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years
Let plug in the formula
First step
$28,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.112)^13
PV= $28,000 ÷ 1.112^13
PV= $28,000 ÷ 3.97522975235
PV= $7,043.618
Second step
$28,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.104)^13
PV= $28,000 ÷ 1.104^13
PV= $28,000 ÷ 3.61907808993
PV= $7,736.777
Now let calculate how much less than your brother will you have to deposit today
Deposit today= $7,736.777-$7,043.618
Deposit today= $693.159
Deposit today=$693.16 (Approximately)
Therefore How much less than your brother will you have to deposit today will be $693.16

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

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.
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
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
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

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
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.
Leading up to the signing of a contract with an integration clause, a buyer sent an e-mail to the seller of a beautiful, new $45,000 boat asking, "You provide financing, right?" The seller responded, "Yes, of course." The contract, which the parties signed yesterday, said nothing about financing. Right after signing, the seller said, "OK, let's get you set up with financing!" He then ran the buyer's credit, which was not good. The buyer was not approved for financing through the seller's only source. The buyer believes that he, therefore, is not liable for the cost of the boat. Is the buyer correct?
Answer: No, because of the integration clause
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the buyer isn't correct as a result of the integration clause.
The integration clause, is a clause in a written contract that stipulates that a particular contract is complete and that the parties involved agreed to the contract and it's final.
This contract supersedes every other informal understandings and all other oral agreements relating as well. Therefore, the buyer is liable for the cost of the boat.
