ABC and XYZ are all-equity firms. ABC has 1,750 shares outstanding at a market price of $20 a share while XYZ has 2,500 shares outstanding at a price of $28 a share. ABC is acquiring XYZ for $75,000 in cash. The incremental value of the acquisition is $8,000. What is the net present value of acquiring XYZ to ABC
Answer:
the net present value is -$32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below;
= (Number of oustanding shares × market price per share) + incremental value of acquisition - acquiring value in cash
= (1,750 × $20) + $8,000 - $75,000
= $43,000 - $75,000
= -$32,000
Hence, the net present value is -$32,000
Why does the Aggregate Demand Curve slope downwards?
a. GDP Effect
b. Exchange-RMC Effect
c. Turn-Rate Effect
d. Substitution Effect
e. Interest-Rate Effect
f. Marginal Effect
g. Wealth Effect
Answer:
b. Exchange - RMC Effect c. Interest-Rate effect d. Wealth effectExplanation:
When the exchange rate of the country falls, goods denominated in that currency will become cheaper and this would have the effect of making exports cheaper. Exports therefore rise with lower price levels.
A lower interest rate will mean that more companies will take loans to invest. Investment is a component of Aggregate demand so when investment increases, so does AD.
When prices are lower in the economy, the Aggregate Demand will increase because people will be able to afford more goods and services. This is the wealth effect.

Given the following, the standard cost of this item is $_____per unit.
Direct materials per unit: 2 pounds
Direct material cost: $2.50 per pound
Direct labor per unit: .75 hours
Direct labor rate: $16.00 per hour
Variable overhead rate: $8.00 per hour
Answer:
$23 per unit
Explanation:
Standard cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead
Standard cost = (2 pounds*$2.50 per pound) + (0.75 hours*$16.00 per hour) + (0.75 hours*$8.00 per hour)
Standard cost = $5 + $12 + $6
Standard cost = $23
So, the standard cost of this item is $23 per unit.
If the best surgeon in town is also the best at cleaning swimming pools, then according to the theory of comparative advantage, this person should split his time evenly between being a surgeon and cleaning swimming pools. pursue the activity he enjoys more. specialize in being a surgeon because its opportunity cost is lower. specialize in cleaning swimming pools because it is more labor-intensive.
Answer:
tspecialize in being a surgeon because its opportunity cost is lower
Explanation:
A person has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people.
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
What the surgeon would give up to pratice as a surgeon would be lower compared than if he decided to specialise in cleaning pools

Explanation:
California wildfires destroy vineyards across the Napa Valley. This is during the season when wine festivals occur most often all over the country. Demonstrate the effect of these events on the equilibrium price and quantity of wine.
Answer:
As a result of the wildfire, supply would fall. there would be a leftward shift of the supply curve. the quantity supplied of wine would reduce and price would increase
as a result of the festival, there would be an increase in demand. this would lead to an outward shift of the demand curve. Thus, the quantity demanded would increase and price would increase
taking these two effects together, there would be an indeterminate change in equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price would increase
Explanation:
Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends. However, investors expect Computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $0.50 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 49% per year - during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 9% per year. If the required return on Computech is 16%, what is the value of the stock today? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer: $8.81
Explanation:
To solve this, add the present values of the dividends from years 3, 4 and 5 and then add the present value of the terminal value of the stock at year 5.
Year 3 dividend = $0.50
Year 4 dividend = 0.50 * (1 + 49%) = $0.745
Year 5 dividend = 0.745 * 1.49 = $1.11005
= Dividend in year 3 / (1 + required rate of return)³ + Dividend in year 4 / (1 + required rate of return)⁴ + Dividend in year 5 / (1 + required rate of return)⁵ + (Dividend in year 5 * (1 + growth rate) / ( required rate of return - growth rate ) ) / (1 + required rate of return)⁵
= 0.5 / 1.16³ + 0.745/1.16⁴ + 1.11005/1.16⁵ + ( 1.11005 / (16% - 9%)) / 1.16⁵
= $8.81
If the required return on Compu tech is 16%, the value of stock today is $8.81. To answer this, sum the present values of the dividends from years 3, 4, and 5, followed by the present value of the stock's terminal value in year 5.
The current value of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows at a predetermined rate of return is known as its present value (PV). The present value of future cash flows is reduced by the discount rate, and the higher the discount rate, the lower the present value of future cash flows.
Given,
Year 3 dividend = $0.50
Year 4 dividend = 0.50 * (1 + 49%) = $0.745
Year 5 dividend = 0.745 * 1.49 = $1.11005
Dividend in year 3 / (1 + required rate of return)³ + Dividend in year 4 / (1 + required rate of return)⁴ + Dividend in year 5 / (1 + required rate of return)⁵ + (Dividend in year 5 * (1 + growth rate) / ( required rate of return - growth rate ) ) / (1 + required rate of return)⁵
= 0.5 / 1.16³ + 0.745/1.16⁴ + 1.11005/1.16⁵ + ( 1.11005 / (16% - 9%)) / 1.16⁵
= $8.81

Record the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.
Answer:
Note: See attached excel file for the record of the effect of the given transactions in a horizontal statements model.
In the attached excel file, we have:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155
Explanation:
In the attached excel file, we have:
Sales tax payable on sales for November Year 1 = $65,500 * 9% = $5,895
Sales tax payable on sales for December Year 1 = $79,500 * 9% = $7,155
Assets = $152,155
Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $7,155 + $145,000 = $152,155
Therefore, the accounting equation is proved as follows:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $152,155
Jefferson tutoring had the following payroll information on Feb 28:
Gross pay: 4,000
Cumulative earnings prior to this payroll: 4,000
Assume:
FICA tax rates are OASDI 6.2% on a limit of 117,000 and medicare 1.45%.
State unemployment tax rate is 2% on the first 7,000.
Federal unemployment tax rate is 0.8% on the first 7,000
Using the information above the journal entry to record the payroll tax expense for jefferson tutoring would include:____.
A. a credit to FUTA payable for 24.
B. a debit to payroll tax expense in the amount of 390.
C. a credit to SUTA payable for 60.
D. all of the above.
Answer: D. all of the above.
Explanation:
FUTA:
Cumulative earnings were $4,000. FUTA is one the first $7,000 which means that only $3,000 is left to be taxed on account of the cumulative earnings prior to this payroll having been taxed:
= 0.8% * 3,000
= $24
This will be credited to FUTA Payable to recognize that Jefferson owes this liability.
SUTA:
Same goes for SUTA:
= 2% * 3,000
= $60
This will be credited to SUTA Payable to recognize that Jefferson owes this liability.
Payroll tax expense:
= FICA taxes + Medicare + FUTA + SUTA
= ((6.2% + 1.45%) * 4,000) + 24 + 60
= $390
This will be debited to Payroll Tax expense because expenses are debited when they increase.

adjusted Effective Gross Income (EGI) adjusted for annual operating expense and capital expenditures of a firm/organization
Net Operating Income Equation
(sales - variable expenses) - fixed expenses
Segment margin
The product line segment margin is usually said to be obtainable through the act of deduction of the traceable fixed costs of a segment from the segment's contribution margin. It shows or entails the margin at hand after a segment has covered all of its own costs. Itis the best gauge of the long-run profitability of a segment as it includes only those costs that are caused by the segment.
Segment margin formula
Contribution Margin - Traceable fixed costs

Compute depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020 using the () straight-line, (2) double- declining-balance, and (3) units-of-production methods of depreciation
Answer:
1. $45,000
$45,000
2. $100,000
$50,000
3. $47250
$40,500
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($200,000 - $20,000) / 4 = $45,000
Depreciation expense each year would be $45,000
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/4 = 1/2
Depreciation expense in 2019 = 1/2 x 200,000 = $100,000
Book value in 2020 = 200,0000 - 100,000 = 100,000
Depreciation expense in 2019 = 1/2 x 100,000 = 50,000
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
2019 = ($200,000 - $20,000) x ( 2,100 / 8000) = 47250
2020 = ($200,000 - $20,000) x ( 1800 / 8000) = 40,500

This is a date for ex dividend. The price in the stock market could fall by the same amount of the dividend.
C. March 15th
This date is the record date. The price cannot be influenced given that any stock that is traded in public is usually affected by the date of the ex dividend.

Leona, whose marginal tax rate on ordinary income is 37 percent, owns 100 percent of the stock of Henley Corporation. This year, Henley generates $1 million of taxable income.
If Henley wants to pay all of its after-tax earnings to Leona as a dividend, calculate the amount of the dividend payment.
Calculate Leona’s tax due on the dividend computed in part a, and her after-tax cash flow from the dividend receipt.
Compute the combined corporate and individual tax burden on Henley’s $1 million of current year income, and the effective combined tax rate on this income.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
First and foremost, it should be noted that there's a flat tax rate of 21% on the taxable income, therefore the after tax income will be:
= (1 - 21%) × $1 million
= 79% × $1 million
= $790,000
Therefore, the amount of the dividend payment is $790,000 which is given to Leona.
The after tax cash flow from the dividend receipt will be:
= $790,000 - (20% × $790,000)
= $790,000 - (0.2 × $790,000)
= $790,000 - $158,000
= $632,000
Therefore, the total tax by Henly and Leona will then be:
= $210,000 + $158,000
= $368,000.
This is 36.8% (368000/1 million) of the tax rate.
