Answer: 8.45%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Holmes Company's currently has an outstanding bonds and has a 8% coupon and a 13% yield to maturity.
We are further told that Holmes believes it could issue new bonds at par that would provide a similar yield to maturity and that its marginal tax rate is 35%.
Holmes's after-tax cost of debt will therefore be calculated as:
= Yield to maturity × (1 - Marginal tax rate)
= 13% × (1 - 35%)
= 13% × (65%)
= 0.13 × 0.65
= 0.0845
= 8.45%

Wininger Corporation has 1000 shares of 6%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 25,000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding on December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020. The board of directors declared and paid a $2,000 dividend in 2019. In 2020, $15,000 of dividends are declared and paid. What are the dividends received by the common stockholders in 2020 (there were no dividends in arrears prior to 2019)
Answer:
Dividends received by the common stockholders in 2020 = $12,000
Explanation:
Cumulative preferred stock can be described as a type of preferred stock whose dividends accumulate when they are not paid in any year and their accumulated dividends has to be paid in future before common stockholders receive any dividend.
The dividends received by the common stockholders of Wininger Corporation in 2020 can therefore be calculated as follows:
Annual dividend payable to cumulative preferred stock = 1000 * 5% * $50 = $2,500
Dividend declared paid in 2019 = $2,000
Dividend declared and paid in 2020 = $15,000
Outstanding dividend payable to cumulative preferred stock in 2019 = Annual dividend payable to cumulative preferred stock - Dividend declared in 2019 = $2,500 - 2,000 = $500
Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock in 2020 = Outstanding dividend payable to cumulative preferred stock in 2019 + Annual dividend payable to cumulative preferred stock = $500 + $2,500 = $3,000
Dividends received by the common stockholders in 2020 = Dividend declared and paid in 2020 - Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock in 2020 = $15,000 - $3,000 = $12,000

Donna is looking into investing a portion of her recent bonus into the stock market. While researching different companies, she discovers the following standard deviations of one year of daily stock closing prices. Masterful Pocket Watches: Standard deviation of stock prices =$9.73=$ 9.73 Perfect Plungers Plus: Standard deviation of stock prices =$1.07=$ 1.07 Based on the data and assuming these trends continue, which company would give Donna a stable long-term investment
Answer: d. Perfect Plungers Plus; the smaller standard deviation indicates that Perfect Plungers Plus has less variability in its closing prices than Masterful Pocket watches.
Explanation:
Standard deviation measures volatility with a high standard deviation pointing to more volatility than less. Stocks with a high volatility are by definition, not very stable.
Masterful Pocket watches has a higher standard deviation than Perfect Plungers Plus which means that Perfect Plungers is more stable than Masterful Pocket watches when it comes to closing prices. Perfect Plus would therefore be the best option for providing a stable long-term investment based on this metric.
Franklin is designing an advertisement. What is a good practice for him to follow? A. make the headline long and complicated B. use simple images in the advertisement C. show the product in use in the advertisement D. use a lot of text in the advertisement
Answer:
I would say C. Show the product in use in the advertisement.
Explanation The point of advertisement is that people immediately know if they want to have/buy the products advertised. With showing the product in use, you achieve exactly this. If person likes, what he sees, he buys the product.
On the other hand, if a person only sees random simple images, he may see pictures of not the product itself or the purpose for what it can be used. So he doesn't know, if he needs or wants the product.
Answer:
C. show the product in use in the advertisement
Explanation:
Try to show the product in use in your photograph rather than a static picture of the product. Showing the product in use more effectively demonstrates its usability.

Williams Company computed its cost per equivalent unit for direct materials to be $2.70 and its cost per equivalent unit for conversion to be $3.42. A total of 212,000 units of product were completed and transferred out as finished goods during the month, and 30,000 of equivalent units remained unfinished at the end of the month. The amount that should be reported in Finished Goods Inventory is:
Answer:
$1,297,440
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the cost of direct materials
= 212,000 × 2.70
= $572,400
The next step is to calculate the conversion
= 212,000 × 3.42
= $725,040
Therefore the amount that should be reported in the finished goods inventory can be calculated as follows
= $725,040 + $572,400
= $1,297,440
Felicia put $175 into a CD that pays 4% interest, compounded semiannually.
According to the rule of 72, approximately how long will it take for her money
to double?
A. 8 years
B. 16 years
C. 12 years
D. 18 years
Answer:
D. 18 years
Explanation:
Felicia has $175; doubling it will make it $350 ($175 x 2)
The interest per year is 4%
The applicable formula is A= P ( 1 + r)^n
where A = $350
P=$175
r=0.04
n= time ???
$350=$175 (1 +0.04)^n
350= 175(1.04)^n
350/175=1.04^n
2=1.04^n
log 2= (log 1.04)n
n= log2/ log1.04
n= 0.30102/0.017033
n= 17.70 year
n=18 years

Answer:
32.35%
Explanation:
Calculation for What is Smith's partner return on equity during the year in question
First step is to calculate the Ending partner equity
Ending partner equity = $32,000 + $11,000 - $7,000
Ending partner equity = $36,000
Now let calculate the partner return on equity
Partner return on equity= $11,000 / (($32,000 + $36,000)/2)
Partner return on equity= $11,000/($68,000/2)
Partner return on equity= $11,000/$34,000
Partner return on equity= 32.35%
Therefore Smith's partner return on equity during the year in question will be 32.35%

Larry is a minor, age 16 years old.
Larry decides to purchase a cell phone from Sprint.
Larry signs a written contract with Sprint to buy the cell phone and pay $75.00 per month for the cell phone plan for a time period of 2 years.
Sprint agrees that Larry will pay $75.00 per month for 2 years for the cell phone plan.
Larry and Sprint sign a written contract on April 1, 2021. Larry makes his first payment of $75.00 on April 15, 2021.
The written contract states that Larry will pay $75.00 per month for the cell phone plan on the 15th day of each month for 2 years.
WHAT IS ENTIRELY TRUE:
The contract is considered a VOID contract when it was signed by Larry and Sprint because Larry is a minor and Sprint cannot enforce the contract against Larry because Larry entered into the contract when he was a minor.
The contract is a VALID contract but is also a VOIDABLE contract on the part of Larry AND on the part of Sprint.
The contract is NOT voidable because the contract was signed in writing by both Larry and Sprint, pursuant to the Statute of Frauds.
The contract is a VALID contract but is also a VOIDABLE contract on the part of Larry but NOT on the part of Sprint.
Answer:
What is entirely true about this contract is:
The contract is a VALID contract but is also a VOIDABLE contract on the part of Larry but NOT on the part of Sprint.
Explanation:
As a minor, Larry (he was under the age of 18 when he signed the contract with Sprint) lacks the contractual capacity to enter into the contractual relationship with Sprint. But since he has signed the contract in exchange for the purchase of the cell phone, Larry can either honor the deal or void the contract. This is why the contract is said to be valid but voidable at Larry's behest. However, after Larry has turned 18, if he has not done anything to void the contract, then the contract with Sprint can no longer be voided.
An example of the multiplier effect is when: Group of answer choices an increase in government spending leads to a decrease in private investment. the government increases government spending initially by $100 billion, and total income in the economy increases by more than $100 billion. short-run aggregate supply shifts in a response to fiscal policy. an increase in the price level leads to a shift in the aggregate demand curve. the government increases government spending initially by $100 billion, and total income in the economy increases by less than $100 billion.
Answer:
the government increases government spending initially by $100 billion, and total income in the economy increases by more than $100 billion.
Explanation:
When there is a rise in the government spending so it would rise the income i.e. higher that this represents the multiplier effect
If there is a rise in government spending so the Aggregate demand curve should be right due to which the income and level of the price would rise
Also if there is any change in the price level that moves along with the similar curve so this we cant called as the multiplier effect
hence, the above represent the answer

ABC Corporation has three service departments with the following costs and activity base: Service Department Cost Activity Base for Allocation Graphics Production $200,000 number of copies made Accounting 500,000 number of invoices processed Personnel 400,000 number of employees ABC has three operating divisions, Micro, Macro and Super. Their revenue, cost and activity information is as follows: Micro Macro Super Direct revenues $700,000 $850,000 $650,000 Direct operating expenses $50,000 $70,000 $100,000 Number of copies made 20,000 30,000 50,000 Number of invoices processed 700 800 500 Number of employees 130 145 125
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The question is:
1. What is the service department charge rate for Graphics Production?
a.$10.00
b.$2.00
c.$0.50
d.$6.66
The service department charge for Graphics Production will be calculated by dividing the cost of graphic production by the total number of copies that are made. This will be:
= $200000/(20000 + 30000 + 50000)
= $200,000 / 100,000
= $2 per copy
2. How much service department cost will be allocated to the Micro Division?
a.$200,000
b.$145,000
c.$345,000
d.$60,000
The service department cost that is allocated to the Micro Division will be calculated as:
= [20000 x ($200000/100000)] + [700 x ($500000/2000)] + [130 x ($400000/400)]
= (20000 × 2) + (700 × 250) + (130 × 1000)
= $40000 + $175000 + $130000
= $345000

The fair value of the net assets held by the reporting unit is currently $350,000, and the fair value of the reporting unit is $395,000. At the end of the current period, Grout should report goodwill of $25,000. $10,000. $35,000. $45,000.
Answer:
$35,000
Explanation:
The fair value of the net assets that is held by reporting units = $350000
The fair value of the reporting unit is $ 395000
At the end of the current period, Grouts goodwill should be $35,000 dollars since he has a carrying value of $35000 according to the question. Goodwill is going to be the same as the carrying amount.

Compare and contrast the protection to intellectual property provided by trade secrets relative to that provided by patents. What important defense is available to defendants in trade secret cases that is not available to patent infringement defendants?
Answer:
1. Protection to trade secrets and patents:
a. Trade secrets are protected indefinitely. Generally, patents are granted for a maximum of 20 years.
b. The owner of a trade secret does not need to pay annual fee to defend the secret. A patent holder is required to pay an annual fee, in order to make the patent enforceable.
2. Important defense for defendants in trade secret cases that is not available to patent infringement defendants:
The defendant in a trade secret case will cite that the secret is still commercially valuable. But a patent holder cannot cite this because the patent is granted for a maximum of 20 years to stop stifling innovation.
Explanation:
Both trade secrets and patents are intellectual property rights which confer on their owners the exclusive use of their intellectual property. The major differences are in the duration and the defense of the rights. Patents, unlike trade secrets, do not last forever. Patents, again unlike trade secrets, must be defended periodically through the payment of fees.

Blue Company acquired a manufacturing facility on four acres of land for a lump-sum price of $8,400,000. The building included used but functional equipment. Blue Company intended to use the manufacturing facility in its future operatioins. According to independent appraisals, the fair values were $3,480,000, $3,480,000, and $4,640,000 for the building, land, and equipment, respectively. The initial values of the building, land, and equipment would be: Building Land Equipment a.$3,480,000 $3,480,000 $4,640,000 b.$3,480,000 $3,480,000 $580,000 c.$2,520,000 $2,520,000 $3,360,000 d.None of these answer choices are correct. Multiple Choice Option C Option B Option A Option D
Answer: c.$2,520,000 $2,520,000 $3,360,000
Explanation:
Sum the fair values from the independent appraisals up;
= 3,480,000 + 3,480,000 + 4,640,000
= $11,600,000
The proportion of the individual fair value to the total fair value can then be used to calculate the originals from the lump sum;
Building
= 3,480,000/11,600,000 * 8,400,000
= $2,520,000
Land
= 3,480,000/11,600,000 * 8,400,000
= $2,520,000
Equipment
= 4,640,000/11,600,000 * 8,400,000
= $3,360,000

Northern Wood Products is an all-equity firm with 16,300 shares of stock outstanding and a total market value of $354,000. Based on its current capital structure, the firm is expected to have earnings before interest and taxes of $27,000 if the economy is normal, $14,800 if the economy is in a recession, and $39,200 if the economy booms. Ignore taxes. Management is considering issuing $88,600 of debt with an interest rate of 8 percent. If the firm issues the debt, the proceeds will be used to repurchase stock. What will the earnings per share be if the debt is issued and the economy is in a recession
Answer:
$0.63
Explanation:
Calculation for What will the earnings per share be if the debt is issued and the economy is in a recession
First step is to calculate the Shares repurchased
Shares repurchased=$88,600/($354,000/16,300)
Shares repurchased=$88,600/21.7
Shares repurchased = 4,083 shares
Second step is to calculate the Shares outstanding
Shares outstanding = 16,300 - 4,083
Shares outstanding= 12,217shares
Last step is to calculate earnings per share recession
Earnings per share Recession= [$14,800 - ($88,600 × 0.08)]/12,217
Earnings per share Recession= ($14,800 - $7,088)/12,217
Earnings per share Recession=$7,712/12,217
Earnings per share Recession=0.63
Therefore what the earnings per share will be if the debt is issued and the economy is in a recession is 0.63

Answer:
A. $5.97
$6.99
$4.42
B. 17%
26%
Explanation:
A. If Economy conditions are normal
$49,000 / 8,200 shares = $5.97 each
If Economy expands
$49,000 * 117 / 100 = $57,330
$57,330 / 8,200 shares = $6.99 each
If Economy is in recession
$49,000 * 74 / 100 = $36,260
$36,260 / 8,200 = $4.42 each
B.
If Economy expands
$6.99 - $5.97 = $1.02
$1.02 / $5.97 * 100 = 17%
If Economy is in recession
$4.42 - $5.97 = -$1.55
-$1.55 / $5.97 = -26%
