Answer:
a) alternative Y should be chosen
b) alternative Y, because its NPV is higher
c) 27.19%
d) alternative X, because its NPV is only -$463 (alternative Y's NPV = - $727)
e) alternative X = 1.98 years
alternative Y = 2.49 years
f) alternative Y because its NPV is much higher when MARR = 15%, and when MARR increased to 27.5%, the difference between both projects' NPV was very small.
Explanation:
a and b)
NPV of alternative X = -$100,000 + $50,000/1.15 + $51,000/1.15² + $60,000/1.15³ = -$100,000 + $43,478 + $38,563 + $39,451 = $21,492
NPV of alternative Y = -$100,000 + $205,760/1.15³ = $35,291
c)
incremental cash flows:
-$50,000
-$51,000
$145,760
TIR = 27.19%
d)
NPV of alternative X = -$100,000 + $50,000/1.275 + $51,000/1.275² + $60,000/1.275³ = -$100,000 + $39,216 + $31,373 + $28,948 = -$463
NPV of alternative Y = -$100,000 + $205,760/1.275³ = -$727
e)
alternative X ⇒ 1 year + ($50,000 / $51,000) = 1.98 years
alternative Y ⇒ 2 years + ($100,000 / $205,760) = 2.49 years

The manager at Tom's Taxidermy expects to sell units at each unit. In order for the manager to breakeven, the manager must sell units. What is the margin of safety in dollars?
The manager at Tom's Taxidermy expects to sell 900 units at $80 each unit. In order for the manager to breakeven, the manager must sell 100 units. What is the margin of safety in dollars?
Answer:
$64,000
Explanation:
Given that, the margin of safety is a term that describes the disparity between the actual sales volume and the breakeven volume.
In this case, Tom's Taxidermy expects to sell 9,00 units at $80 each and their breakeven volume is 100 units, the margin of sales, in dollars, is:
MS = ( 900 - 100) * $80
MS = 800 * $80
= $64,000
Therefore, the right answer as Margin of Safety in dollars = $64,000

On January 1, 2018, Bishop Company issued 10% bonds dated January 1, 2018, with a face amount of $19.3 million. The bonds mature in 2027 (10 years). For bonds of similar risk and maturity, the market yield is 12%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar.) Required: 1. Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2018. 2. Prepare the journal entry to record the bond issuance by Bishop on January 1, 2018. 3. Prepare the journal entry to record interest on June 30, 2018, using the effective interest method. 4. Prepare the journal entry to record interest on December 31, 2018, using the effective interest method.
Answer:
1) $19.3 million in bonds issued January 1, 2018
coupon rate 10%, semiannual 5% interest
maturity = 10 years x 2 = 20 periods
market interest rate = 12% / 2 = 6% semiannual
1) market price of the bonds:
PV of face value = $19,300,000 / (1 + 6%)²⁰ = $6,017,831.23
PV of coupon payments = $965,000 x 11.470 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 20 periods) = $11,068,550
market price = $17,086,381.23 ≈ $17,086,381
2) January 1, 2018, bonds issued at a discount
Dr Cash 17,086,381
Dr Discount on bonds payable 2,213,619
Cr Bonds payable 19,300,000
3) June 30, 2018, first coupon payment
Dr Interest expense 1,025,183
Cr Cash 965,000
Cr Discount on bonds payable 60,183
amortization of bond discount = ($17,086,381 x 6%) - $965,000 = $1,025,182.86 - $4,860,000 = $60,182.86 ≈ $60,183
4) December 31, 2018, second coupon payment
Dr Interest expense 1,028,794
Cr Cash 965,000
Cr Discount on bonds payable 63,794
amortization of bond discount = ($17,146,564 x 6%) - $965,000 = $1,028,793.84 - $965,000 = $63,793.84 ≈ $63,794

From the question, we are informed that Company A is considering a merger with Company B and that A has 43,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $32 a share while B has 12,800 shares outstanding priced at $44 a share and the merger is expected to create $5,400 of synergy.
The total value of the merged firm will be:
= (43,000 × $32) + (12,800 × $44) + $5,400 - $563,200
= $1,376,000 + $563,200 + $5,400 - $563,200
= $1,944,600 - $563,200
= $1,381,400

The coupon rate on a debt issue is 6%. If the yield to maturity on the debt is 9%, what is the after-tax cost of debt in the weighted average cost of capital if the firm's tax rate is 34%
Answer:
Weighted average cost of capital= 5.94%
Explanation:
The cost of debt is the required rate of return payable to investors in the debt instruments of a company. These investors include providers of long term debt finance to the company.
The cost of debt finance can determined by working out the yield to maturity on debt with adjustment for tax.
It is noteworthy that debt finance affords the company a tax savings advantage because interest expense incurred on the use of debt of are tax deductible expense.
After-tax cost of debt = (1- Tax rate) × before-tax cost of debt
Before tax cost of debt = 9%
Tax rate = 34%
After-tax cost of debt = (1-0.34) × 9% = 5.94%
After-tax cost of debt = 5.94%
Weighted average cost of capital= 5.94%
The current yield is defined as the annual interest on a bond divided by par value true or false?
Answer: False
Explanation:
The Current Yield is calculated by dividing the annual interest on a bond by the current price and not the par value. This way the current price of the bond is the one that matters.
The Current Yield is calculated based on the logic of what the investor can expect as returns for purchasing the bond at the current rate and then holding it for a year or less and so is not the return that can be expected if the bond is held till maturity.

Norek Corp. owned 70% of the voting common stock of Thelma Co. On January 2, 2018, Thelma sold a parcel of land to Norek. The land had a book value of $42,000 and was sold to Norek for $75,000. Thelma's reported net income for 2018 was $200,000. What is the non-controlling interest's share of Thelma's net income?
Answer:
$50,100
Explanation:
The computation of the non-controlling interest share is shown below:
= {Net income - (Sale value - book value)} × non owning percentage
= {$200,000 - ($75,000 - $42,000)} × 0.30
= ($200,000 - $33,000) × 0.30
= $50,100
Hence, the non controlling interest share of net income is $50,100 and the same is to be considered
A manufacturing company that has only one product has established the following standards for its variable manufacturing overhead. The company bases its variable manufacturing overhead standards on direct labor-hours.
Standard hours per unit of output 5.30 DLHs
Standard variable overhead rate $ 11.66 per DLH
The following data pertain to operations for the last month:
Actual direct labor-hours 8,800 DLHs
Actual total variable manufacturing overhead cost $ 96,000
Actual output 1,500 units
What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?
a. $6,883 U
b. $6,883 F
c. $9,911 U
d. $3,252 U
Answer:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $9,911 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard hours per unit of output 5.30 DLHs
Standard variable overhead rate $ 11.66 per DLH
Actual direct labor-hours 8,800 DLHs
Actual output 1,500 units
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= 5.3*1,500= 7,950
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (7,950 - 8,800)*11.66
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $9,911 unfavorable
g. How does the equation for valuing a bond change if semiannual payments are made? Find the value of a 10-year, semiannual payment, 10% coupon bond if the nominal rd 13%. Ehrhardt, Michael C.. Corporate Finance: A Focused Approach (p. 236). Cengage Learning. Kindle Edition.
Answer:
$834.73
Explanation:
the market value of the bonds is calculated by adding the present value of its maturity value (face value) + the present value of its coupon payments. The discount rate will be the market rate instead of the coupon rate:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6.5%)²⁰ = $283.80
PV of coupon payments = $50 x 11.01851 (PV annuity factor, 6.5%, 20 periods) = $550.93
the bond's market value = $283.80 + $550.93 = $834.73
In December Year 4, Mill Co. began including one coupon in each package of candy that it sells and offering a toy in exchange for $.30 and one coupon. The toys cost Mill $.80 each. Eventually, 70% of the coupons will be redeemed. During December, Mill sold 100,000 packages of candy and 15,000 coupons were redeemed. In its Year 4 income statement, what amount should Mill report as Premium Expense?
Answer:
$35,000
Explanation:
Sine Mill expects that 70% of the coupons will be redeemed, their premium expense should equal 70% x 100,000 packages x ($0.80 - $0.30) = $35,000
the journal entry to record the issuing of the discount coupons should be:
Dr Premium (or toy coupons, or marketing) expense 35,000
Cr Toy coupons liability 35,000
Since 15,000 were redeemed in December, the adjusting entry should be:
December 31, year 4
Dr Toy coupons liability 7,500
Cr Toys inventory 7,500
Skor Co. leased equipment to Douglas Corp. on January 2, 2011 for a 7-year period expiring December 31, 2017. Equal payments under the lease are $600,000 and are due on January 2 of each year. The first payment was made on January 2, 2011. The cost of the equipment is $2,400,000. The lease is appropriately accounted for as a sales-type lease. The present value of the lease payments is $2,800,000. What is the effect on Cost of Goods Sold for the year ended December 31, 2011?
Answer:
$2,400,000
Explanation:
Always remember that in the case of a sales type lease, the lessor at the inception of the sales type lease would recognize sale of equipment at a price of present value of the lease payments which is $2,800,000 and cost of goods sold will be recorded at cost of equipment which is $2,400,000.
Case 1: If the equipment was an inventory then the double entry would be as under:
Recording of Sales:
Dr Lease Asset $2,800,000
Cr Sale of Inventory $2,800,000
Recording of inventory out:
Dr Cost of Goods Sold $2,400,000
Cr Inventory Account $2,400,000
Case 2: If the equipment was fixed asset then the double entry would be as under:
Recording of Sales:
Dr Lease Asset $2,800,000
Cr Sale of Fixed Asset $2,800,000
Recording of equipment handing over to customer:
Dr Cost of Goods Sold $2,400,000
Cr Equipment Account $2,400,000
In both of the cases the cost of goods sold will be $2,400,000.

You are saving money for a down payment on a house. Suppose you want to have total savings of $20,000 in 10 years time and you have currently $5,000. What annual interest rate do you need to earn on your initial investment, assuming you contribute no additional savings?
Answer:
14.87%
Explanation:
we have to use the future value formula to solve this question:
future value = present value x (1 + rate)ⁿ
you need to save $20,000 in 10 years (this is your future value)
currently you have $5,000 which will be $5,000 x (1 + r)¹⁰
$20,000 = $5,000 x (1 + r)¹⁰
(1 + r)¹⁰ = $20,000 / $5,000
(1 + r)¹⁰ = 4
¹⁰√(1 + r)¹⁰ = ¹⁰√4
1 + r = 1.1487
r = 1.1487 - 1
r = 0.1487 = 14.87%

Valentine is a producer in a monopoly industry. Her demand curve and total cost curve are given as follows: Q = 160 - 4P ; TC = 4Q. The price of her product will be:
Answer: b) $22
Explanation:
A Monopoly will maximise output where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal cost.
Marginal revenue (MR) is the differential of Total revenue.
= (dTR/dQ ) 40Q - 0.25Q^2
= 40 - 0.5Q
Marginal Cost is the differential of Total cost.
= dTC/dQ
= 4
MR = MC
40 - 0.5Q = 4
36 = 0.5Q
Q = 72 units is the maximising quantity.
Price
Q = 160 - 4P
72 = 160 - 4P
4P = 160 -72
4P = 88
P = $22
