Hogan Inc. reported 2019 earnings per share of $3.26 and had no discontinued operations. In 2020, earnings per share on income from continuing operations was $2.99, and earnings per share on net income was $3.49. Do you consider this trend to be favorable? Why or why not?
Answer:
This trend is considered unfavorable
Explanation:
It is given that the firm earning per share in 2019 was $3.26 and had no discontinued operation. It means that earnings per share on income from continuing operation in 2019 was $3.26. In 2020, earning per share on income from continuing operation was $2.99 only. It evidences that earnings per share on income from continuing operations has declined by $0.47 (from $3.26 to $2.99) and so it (this trend) is considered unfavorable. We need to also understand that in 2020, earning per share on net income of $3.49 indicates that the firm has earned profit on the discontinued operation. It is not a regular activity to consider while analyzing firm profitability trend.
Which of the following is an example of U.S. foreign direct investment and by itself increases U.S. net capital outflow?

Answer: C. A U.S. electronics company opens and operates a new factory in India.
Explanation:
In Foreign direct investment, a international company owns and controls the affairs of a company in another country hence the term direct. This therefore is asking for which scenario shows a US company in control of a company in another country and that would be the U.S. electronics company opening and operating a new factory in India.
This will increase U.S. net capital outflow which is defined as the amount of money flowing out of the United States to be invested in another country. As the Electronics company had to set up in India, they invested in India thereby increasing U.S. net capital outflow.

Colby & Company bonds pay semi-annual interest of $50. They mature in 15 years and have a par value of $1,000. The market rate of interest is 8%. The market value of Colby Bonds is: (round to nearest dollar)
Answer:
Price of bond = $ 1,172.92
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Colby & Company can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment = 50
Semi-annual yield = 8%/2 = 4% per six months
Total period to maturity (in months)
= (2 × 15) = 30 periods
PV of interest =
50 × (1- (1+0.04^(-30)/0.04)= 864.60
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.04)^(-30) =308.318
Step 3:
Price of bond
= 864.60 + 308.318 = $1,172.92
Price of bond = $ 1,172.92
Uptown Men's Wear has accounts payable of $2214, inventory of $7950, cash if $1263, fixed assets of $8400, accounts receivable of $3907, and long term debt of $4,200. What is the value of the net working capital to total assets ratio?
Answer:
Net working capital to fixed assets = 0.50678 rounded off to 0.51
Explanation:
The value of total assets can be calculated by adding the value of current assets and the value of fixed assets.
Total assets = Current Assets + Fixed assets
Total assets = (7950 + 1263 + 3907) + 8400
Total Assets = $21520
The working capital is the difference between the value of current assets and the value of current liabilities.
Net Working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities
Net working capital = (7950 + 1263 + 3907) - 2214
Net Working capital = $10906
The ratio of net working capital to fixed assets can be calculated by dividing the value of net working capital by the value of the fixed assets.
Net working capital to fixed assets = 10906 / 21520
Net working capital to fixed assets = 0.50678 rounded off to 0.51

Globus Autos sells a single product. 8,300 units were sold resulting in $84,000 of sales revenue, $24,000 of variable costs, and $18,000 of fixed costs. If Globus reduces the selling price by $1.10 per unit, the new margin of safety is: (Round any intermedary calculations to the nearest cent.) A. 2,872 units B. 8,300 units C. 5,364 units D. 5,428 units
Answer:
Margin of safety= 5,364 units
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units:
Selling price= 84,000/8,300= $10.12
Unitary variable cost= $2.89
New selling price= 10.12 - 1.1= $9.02
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 18,000 / (9.02 - 2.89)
Break-even point in units= 2,936 units
Now, the margin of safety:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= 8,300 - 2,936
Margin of safety= 5,364 units
A firm facing a price of $15 in a perfectly competitive market decides to produce 100 widgets. If its marginal cost of producing the last widget is $12 and it is seeking to maximize profit, the firm should
Answer:
Produce more widgets.
Explanation:
Given the price charge by the competitive firm is = $15
The unit produced = 100
The marginal cost of the last unit = $12
The firm should produce more widget because in the competitive market the firm charge the price that is equal to MC. Moreover, in the given question the price is greater than the marginal cost. Therefore, the firm should produce more widgets in order to reach the condition “P=MC”.
A given inventory item has a per-year holding cost of $500. One method of shipping this item is three days faster than the other, but it is $2.50 more per unit. Using the slower method would be __________ more expensive overall than using the faster method.
Answer: $1.61
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a given inventory item has a per-year holding cost of $500 and that one method of shipping this item is three days faster than the other, but it is $2.50 more per unit.
Using the slower method would be 1.61 more expensive overall than using the faster method. To do this, the holding cost has to be multiplied by speed differential. From the result gotten, we will now divide by 365 since 365 days make a year.
After the figure had been gotten, we will ow compare it to the actual difference of the shipping cost.
The Jennings Group reacquired 2 million of its shares at $50 per share as treasury stock. Last year, for the first time, Jennings sold 1 million treasury shares at $51 per share. If Jennings now sells the remaining 1 million treasury shares at $47 per share, by what amount will retained earnings decline
Answer:
-$2,000,000
Explanation:
Given the following :
Number of shares reacquired = 2 million
Price per share = $50
For the first time ;°
Number of shares sold = 1 million
Sales price per share = $51
Increase in Retained earnings : 1,000,000 × $(51 - 50) = 1,000,000 × $1 = $1, 000,000
Loss made from reacquizition:
Of the 2 million reacquired.
1,000,000 was sold at $47
Loss per share = ($50 - $47) = $3
Reduction in retained earning = (1,000,000 * $3) = - $3,000,000
Net total = $(1,000,000) - $3,000,000) = -$2,000,000

Bramble Corp. purchased a delivery truck for $38,800 on January 1, 2019. The truck has an expected salvage value of $1,800, and is expected to be driven 100,000 miles over its estimated useful life of 8 years. Actual miles driven were 14,700 in 2019 and 12,900 in 2020. (a1) Calculate depreciable cost per mile under units-of-activity method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.50.)
Answer:
$0.37
Explanation:
Depreciable cost = cost of asset - salvage value
$38,800 - $1,800 = $37,000
Depreciable cost per mile = $37,000 / 100,000 = $0.37
Prior to the merger, Firm A has $1,250 in total earnings with 750 shares outstanding at a market price per share of $42. Firm B has $740 in total earnings with 220 shares outstanding at $21 per share. Assume Firm A acquires Firm B via an exchange of stock of 0.5 share of A’s stock for each share of B's stock. Both A and B have no debt outstanding and the merger does not create any synergy. What will the earnings per share of Firm A be after the merger? A) $2.10 B) $1.67 C) $3.36 D) $2.05 E) $2.31
Answer:
E) $2.31
Explanation:
Shares offered to Firm B = Shares outstanding * 0.5
= 220 * 0.5
= 110 shares
Total shares of firm A after merger = Shares outstanding before merger + Shares offered to Firm B
= 750 + 110
= 860 shares
Total earnings of firm A after merger = $1,250 + 740
Total earnings of firm A after merger = $1,990
Earnings per share of firm A after merger = Total earnings of firm A after merger / Total shares of firm A after merger
Earnings per share of firm A after merger = $1,990 / 860
Earnings per share of firm A after merger = $2.31 per share
________ is the model in which an effective leader makes desirable rewards available, clarifies how employees can achieve objectives, and provides them support in doing so.
Answer:
House's path-goal model.
Explanation:
Robert House developed the theory of the objective-path, which is a theory that supports the servile leadership style, because House believed that the behavior of the leader is capable of directly interfering in the behavior of the collaborators, therefore, the leaders must be the biggest suppliers of essential support and resources for employees to carry out their work effectively.
He has developed 4 different leadership styles that leaders must have to help employees achieve their goals and objectives.
They are:
Directive, Supportive, Participative, Achievement-oriented.These four styles will provide the essential guidelines and conduct for being a servant and collaborative leader.
Activity rates from Quattrone Corporation's activity-based costing system are listed below. The company uses the activity rates to assign overhead costs to products: Activity Cost Pools Activity Rate Processing customer orders $96.72 per customer order Assembling products $3.43 per assembly hour Setting up batches $53.23 per batch Last year, Product F76D involved 5 customer orders, 528 assembly hours, and 22 batches. How much overhead cost would be assigned to Product F76D using the activity-based costing system
Answer:
Total allocated overhead= $3,465.71
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Processing customer orders $96.72 per customer order
Assembling products $3.43 per assembly hour
Setting up batches $53.23 per batch
Product F76D:
5 customer orders

To assign overhead, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Product F76D:
Processing= 96.72*5= $483.6
Assembling= 3.43*528= 1,811.04
Setting up batches= 53.23*22= 1.171.07
Total allocated overhead= $3,465.71

. The disadvantages of a centralized organizational structure include A. lengthening response times and discouraging lower-level managers and rank-and-file employees from exercising initiative. B. a loss of top management control. C. putting too much decision making authority in the hands of lower-level company personnel. D. making it hard to fix accountability when things do not go well and putting the organization at risk when bad decisions are made. E. impeding cross-unit coordination and capture of strategic fits.
Answer:
A. lengthening response times and discouraging lower-level managers and rank-and-file employees from exercising initiative.
Explanation:
An organization with a centralized structure is one whose decision-making process is restricted to professionals at the top of the hierarchy, that is, only the leader of the organization is the one who will make the decisions inherent to the business.
This type of structure usually exists in organizations whose businesses are less flexible and need greater control and coordination of organizational processes.
Therefore, there are some disadvantages of centralization, one of which is described in the alternative A: lengthening response times and discouraging low-level managers and ordinary employees from exercising the initiative.
Because as the leader may be far from the problem to be decided, it will take more time to make the necessary judgments for decision making. Employees are also less encouraged to contribute with innovative solutions, since the decision-making process is only in the hands of the leader of the company.

Alyeska Services Company, a division of a major oil company, provides various services to the operators of the North Slope oil field in Alaska. Data concerning the most recent year appear below: Sales $ 18,300,000 Net operating income $ 6,300,000 Average operating assets $ 36,400,000 Required: 1. Compute the margin. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. Compute the turnover. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 3. Compute the return on investment (ROI).
Answer:
1. 34.43%
2. 0.50
3. 17.31%
Explanation:
Alyeska services company has a sale of $18,300,000
The net operating income is $6,300,000
The average operating assets is $36,400,000
(1) The margin can be calculated as follows
Margin= net operating income/sales ×100
= $6,300,000/18,300,000×100
= 0.34426×100
= 34.43%
(2) The assets turnover ratio can be calculated as follows
= Sales/Average operating assets
= $18,300,000/$36,400,000
= 0.50
(3) The Return on investment ROI can be calculated as follows
= Net operating income/Average Operating assets × 100
= $6,300,000/$36,400,000 × 100
= 0.17307×100
= 17.31%
Hence the margin, assets turnover ratio and ROI are 34.43%, 0.50 and 17.31% respectively
