Wallace Container Company issued $100 par value preferred stock 12 years ago. The stock provided a 9 percent yield at the time of issue. The preferred stock is now selling for $72. What is the current yield or cost of the preferred stock
Answer:
12.5%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the current yield or cost of the preferred stock
First step is to determine the Preference dividend.
Dividend yield= Preference dividend/Market price
9%= Preference dividend/100
Preference dividend=9%*100
Preference dividend=$9
Now let determine the cost of the preferred stock
Using this formula
Cost of preference stock= (Preference dividend/Current market price)×100%
Let plug in the formula
Cost of preference stock=($9/72)×100%
Cost of preference stock=12.5%
Therefore the current yield or cost of the preferred stock is 12.5%

Chuck Wagon Grills, Inc., makes a single product—a handmade specialty barbecue grill that it sells for $300. Data for last year’s operations follow: Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 9,500 Units sold 8,400 Units in ending inventory 1,100 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 60 Direct labor 40 Variable manufacturing overhead 10 Variable selling and administrative 30 Total variable cost per unit $ 140 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 180,000 Fixed selling and administrative 780,000 Total fixed costs $ 960,000 Required: 1. Assume that the company uses variable costing. Compute the unit product cost for one barbecue grill. 2. Assume that the company uses variable costing. Prepare a contribution format income statement for last year. 3. What is the company’s break-even point in terms of the number of barbecue grills sold?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Unitary production variable cost= 60 + 40 + 10
Unitary production variable cost= $110
Now, the income statement:
Sales= 300*8,400= 2,520,000
Total variable cost= 8,400*(110 + 30)= (1,176,000)
Total contribution margin= 1,344,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead= (180,000)
Fixed selling and administrative= (780,000)
Net operating income= $384,000
Finally, the break-even point in units:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 960,000 / (300 - 140)
Break-even point in units= 6,000
Zoey Bella Company has a payroll of $10,000 for a five-day workweek. Its employees are paid each Friday for the five-day workweek. Journalize the adjusting entry required on December 31, assuming the year ends on a Thursday. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
Date Description Post. Ref. Debit Credit
Answer:
Wages Expense debit $8,000
Wages Payable credit $8,000
Explanation:
At the end of December 31, which is a Thursday, workers would have worked 4 days out of a 5-day week, which implies we need to recognize wages for the 4 days because it has been incurred even not yet paid
Wages for 4-days=$10,000*4/5
Wages for 4-days=$8,000
We would debit wages account with $8,000 since an increase in an expense account is a debit entry while wages payable would be credited since it is an increase in liabilities
Insurance.Susan,a trained nurse,was recently elected to the U.S.Senate.Susan is very concerned about the lack of insurance for many children and also working adults who cannot afford the insurance premiums.She proposes legislation that states are taxed sufficiently to provide health insurance coverage to children and that federal funds for state highways are denied to any state that does not also provide insurance coverage for uninsured adults.She also proposed that states with citizens earning higher than average incomes be taxed at a higher rate than other states.Bill,a senator,tells Susan that Congress lacks the authority to tax in this manner because the U.S.Constitution expressly reserves that right to the states.Ellen,another senator,tells Susan that Congress has no authority to link highway funds or any other funds with social welfare objectives.Sam,an administrative assistant,tells Susan that Congress is prohibited from taxing residents of one state at a higher rate than citizens of another state.Which of the following is true regarding Ellen's statement?
A) Ellen is correct.
B) Ellen is correct only if the state is making efforts to put social programs into effect and is not acting unreasonably in refusing to provide needed services.
C) Ellen is partially correct in that Congress has no authority to link highway funds with social services,but any other funds may be linked to social services by executive order.
D) Ellen is partially correct in that Congress has no authority to link highway funds with social services,but other funds may be linked to social services by an act of Congress.
E) Ellen is incorrect.
Answer: E. Ellen is incorrect.
Explanation:
From the information provided, we can deduce that Bill is incorrect. This is because the statement made by Bill that "Congress lacks the authority to tax in this manner because the U.S.Constitution expressly reserves that right to the states" is incorrect. It should be noted that the constitution of the United States contains no such reservation.
Also, Ellen is incorrect. This is because the Congress has the authority to link highway funds or any other funds with social welfare objectives.
The city of williamsburg decided to defease old 6% bonds carried in its electric enterprise fund with new 4.5% bonds. As a result of the defeasance, the city incurred an accounting loss. This loss should be recognized:_______
a. As an adjustment to retained earnings since it is applicable to prior periods.
b. In the year of the defeasance.
c. Over the remaining life of the old bonds or the new bonds whichever is shorter
d. It should not be recognized
Answer: It should not be recognized
Explanation:
Based on the information given, it should be noted that the accounting loss that was incurred as a result of the defeasance should not be recognized.
Since the city of Williamsburg decided to defease old 6% bonds carried in its electric enterprise fund with new 4.5% bonds, then it should be noted that it was only the interest rate that changed, but there wasn't any bonds that were sold. Therefore, the loss should not be recognized.
Johnson Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is established as a percentage of credit sales. For 2018, net credit sales totaled $6,300,000, and the estimated bad debt percentage is 1.30%. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $60,000 at the beginning of 2018 and $49,000, after adjusting entries, at the end of 2018. Required: 1. What is bad debt expense for 2018 as a percent of net credit sales
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
For 2018, the net credit sales is totalled $6,300,000
Then, the estimated bad debt percentage is 1.30% of $6,300,000
= 1.30% × $6,300,000
= $81,900
Therefore, the bad debt expense for 2018 as a percentage of net credit sales is $81,900

Inventory as per physical count $198,200
Add: Purchased goods in transit $26,200
Add: Sold goods in transit $23,410
Inventory to be reported as on December 31 $247,810
Hence, the amount that should Sunland report as its December 31 inventory is $247,810
The Bug House purchased some new machinery last year at a total cost of $18,500. The depreciation to date on this machinery is $3,400. Should the firm opt to sell the machinery today, it could probably do so at a price of $14,150. What is the current book value of this machinery
Answer:
No, 15,100
Explanation:
The book value is 15,100 (18500-3400) which is more than the potential sales price of 14,150.
I wouldn’t sell the equipment since it is worth more (15,100) than potential sales price.
Ajax Inc. was formed on April 25 and elected a calendar year for tax purposes. Ajax paid $11,800 to the attorney who drew up the articles of incorporation and $5,700 to the CPA who advised the corporation concerning the accounting and tax implications of its organization. Ajax began business operations on July 15. To what extent can Ajax deduct its $17,500 organizational costs on its first tax return
Answer: $5416.64
Explanation:
Based on the information given, $5000 will be deducted from its organizational cost of $17500, and we'll have $12500. Then, the capitalized cost over 6 months that's 180 days will be:
= Non deductible cost / 180 months
= $12500 / 180
= $69.44 per month
Since Ajax Inc began operation in July, the ammortization will be:
= $69.44 × 6 months
= $416.64
The amount that Ajax can deduct from its $17,500 organizational costs on its first tax return will be:
= $5000 + $416.64
= $5416.64

You are given the following information. Durable good consumption 462 Residential investment 526 Imports 987 Government expenditure 1259 Receipts of factor income from abroad 45 Personal income 7863 Nonresidential investment 66 Nondurable goods 893 Exports 1056 Services 7638 Depreciation 125 Change in inventories 26 Payments of factor income abroad 59 Personal taxes 2538 Do we have a trade deficit or trade surplus
Answer: Trade surplus of $69
Explanation:
A trade deficit is when the imports into a country are greater than exports leaving the country and a trade surplus is the reverse.
Exports for this country are $1,056
Imports to this country are $987
Exports are greater than imports so there is no trade deficit. Instead there is a Trade surplus of:
= Exports - Imports
= 1,056 - 987
= $69
Natasha and Link have been married for 2 years. They live in North Carolina and are about to make an offer on their first home. Their goal is to own the property so that if either Natasha or Link were to die, the surviving spouse would own the property outright. They also want to keep things private and avoid probate. How should they title their new home?
A. Link should own the house fee simple and name Natasha as his beneficiary.
B. Tenancy in common is the best way to title the property because it meets all their objectives.
C. They should title the home as JTWROS as a way to accomplish their goals.
D. Because they live in North Carolina, they should title the home as community property.
Answer:
Natasha and LInk
Based on the spouses goal to own the property so that if either Natasha or LInk were to die, the surviving spouse would own the property outright, keeping things private and avoid probate, they should title their new home as:
C. They should title the home as JTWROS as a way to accomplish their goals.
Explanation:
The arrangement that meets their goals is Joint tenancy with rights of survivorship (JTWROS) which affords survivorship rights to either Natasha or Link in the event of the death of either spouse. In other words, JTWROS allows either Natasha or Link to automatically own the property without publicity or probate. This arrangement will meet all their arrangements, unlike tenancy in common. Moreover, there is no community property provision in North Carolina where they live. Lastly, naming Natasha presupposes that Link would die first. This does not meet their expectations.
Which of the following statements is true? Question 2 options: Velocity equals the money supply. GDP is larger than the money supply if velocity is greater than 1. The money supply must be equal to GDP. GDP is always twice the money supply.
Answer:
GDP is larger than the money supply if velocity is greater than 1
Explanation:
According to the quantity theory of money :
price x quantity = money supply x velocity
GDP = money supply x velocity
If velocity = 2
money supply is 20
then GDP = 2 x 20 = 40
gdp is greater than money supply
Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,100 light fixtures (units) at $9 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 8,500 units at $11.00 each. This level represents 85% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $8.50 per unit, which includes $6.50 variable cost and $2.00 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $1,200 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. Should the company accept the special order
Answer:
Minor Electric
The company should accept the special order. It makes a unit contribution of $1.41, which amounts to $1,551 in total.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Special order received for light fixtures = 1,100 units
Price of special order = $9 per unit
Production and sales units = 8,500 = 85% capacity
Total capacity = 10,000 units (8,500/0.85)
Selling price at production and sales units = $11.00 each
Production costs per unit = $8.50
Variable cost per unit = $6.50
Fixed cost per unit = $2
Cost of new machine required for special order = $1,200
Special order costs:
Variable cost per unit = $7,150 ($6.50 * 1,100)
Cost of new machine = 1,200
Total relevant costs = $8,350
Unit cost = $7.59 ($8,350/1,100)
Selling price = $9.00
Contribution per unit = $1.41
If a rise in incomes for both low-income and high-income workers is higher for the high- income workers, Group of answer choices then poverty will fall and inequality will rise. then poverty will rise and inequality will rise. then poverty will fall and inequality will fall. then poverty will rise and inequality will rise.
Answer:
Poverty will fall and inequality will rise.
Explanation:
Poverty will fall and inequality will rise is the correct answer because there is a rise in income for both category workers that is low income and higher income. Therefore, many low income workers may cross the poverty line due to an increase in pay so poverty will decrease. But, the income has increased for both the groups so higher income group worker will become richer so inequality will rise.

The total cost of ownership (TCO) is categorized into three broad areas of costs: acquisition costs, ownership costs, and post-ownership costs. Which one of the costs is often overemphasized that frequently results in a failure to address other two costs
Answer:
Acquisition cost
Explanation:
The total cost of ownership can be defined as an estimate that helps people trying to get a product or service to know the direct and indirect costs of such. The acquisition cost is often times overemphasized, it is the total incurred for getting the product or the service. This cost is what causes a failure to address both the ownership cost and the post ownership cost.

b. Asset turnover for 2019 = 0.29 times
c. Return on assets = 10.24%
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is thereore provided before answering the question as follows:
The following information was taken from the income statement and balance sheet of The Perryman Company for the years 2018 and 2019:
2019 2018
Sales revenues $590,000 $574,000
Net income 212,000 184,000
Total assets 2,142,000 1,998,000
Total stockholders’ equity 712,000 690,000
Compute the following ratios for 2019:
Net profit margin
Asset turnover
Return on assets
The answers are now explained as follows:
a. Net profit margin for 2019
This can be calculated as follows:
Net profit margin for 2019 = Net income in 2019 / Sales revenues in 2019 = $212,000 / $590,000 = 0.3593, or 35.93%
b. Asset turnover for 2019
This can be calculated as follows:
Asset turnover for 2019 = Sales revenues / Average total assets = Sales revenues in 2019 / ((Total assets in 2019 + Total assets in 2018) / 2) = $590,000 / (($2,142,000 + $1,998,000) / 2) = 0.29 times
c. Return on assets for 2019
This can be calculated as follows:
Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets = Net income in 2019 / ((Total assets in 2019 + Total assets in 2018) / 2) = $212,000 / (($2,142,000 + $1,998,000) / 2) = 0.1024, or 10.24%

Assume that Nortel manufactures specialty electronic circuitry through a unique photoelectronic process. One of the primary products, Model ZX40, has a standard labor time of 0.5 hour and a standard labor rate of $12.50 per hour. During February, the following activities pertaining to direct labor for ZX40 were recorded:
Direct labor hours used 2,230
Direct labor cost $34,000
Units of ZX40 manufactured 4,800
Required:
a. Determine the labor rate variance.
b. Determine the labor efficiency variance.
c. Determine the total flexible budget labor cost variance.
Answer:
A = $6,125
B = $2,125
C = $6,125
Explanation:
Standard Labor Time = 0.5 hours, Standard Labor rate = $12.50 per hour, Standard Time = 4800 * 0.5hour P U = 2400 hours
Actual labor time used = 2,230, Direct labor Cost = $34,000 per hour =$15.25 , Units manufactured = 4,800
(a) Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - standard cost of Actual Hours = $34,000 - ($12.50 * 2230) = $34,000 - $27,875 = $6,125 Favorable
(b) Labor Efficiency Variance = Standard Cost of Actual Hours - Standard Cost = (2,230 * 12.50) - (12.50 * 2400) = $27,875 - $30,000 = $2,125 Unfavorable
(c) Flexible budget labor cost variance = Flexible Budget cost - Actual Cost = (Actual qty * Std Rate) - (Actual qty - Actual Rate) = (2,230 * $12.50) - $34,000 = $27,875 - $34,000 = $6,125 Unfavorable

The text defines management as “The art of getting things done through the efforts of other people.” Put yourself in the shoes of a manager and explain what this definition means in the context of a company operation. You can use the example of any company (large or small) and any good or service.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although you did not attach the text, we can comment on the quote.
"The art of getting things done through the efforts of other people.”
This quote means that good managers motivate and positively influence employees to get the job done. Managers coordinate and monitor the work of the employees. Managers first plan, then establish the goals to be accomplished and then direct the work effort to be productive.
If I were a manager of a company, I definitely try to emulate what the quote says. For instance, the manager of a recreational and sports club. I would do everything to establish clear, specific, and attainable goals so my employees could understand them. Then I describe the role and responsibilities of each employee so they can do their job without any doubts. And of course, I would delegate so they can do their jobs happily. No unnescesary intromissions. The objective would be to offer the best service possible to our clients.
