The Day Company and the Knight Company are identical in every respect except that Day is not levered. Financial information for the two firms appears in the following table. All earnings streams are perpetuities, and neither firm pays taxes. Both firms distribute all earnings available to common stockholders immediately. Day Knight Projected operating $750,000 $ 750,000 income Year-end interest on debt $ 77,500 Market value of stock $3,600,000 $2,300,000 Market value of debt - $1,550,000
a-1. What will the annual cash flow be to an investor who purchases 10 percent of Knight's equity? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
a-2. What is the annual net cash flow to the investor if 10 percent of Day's equity is purchased instead? Assume that borrowing occurs so that the net initial investment in each company is equal. The interest rate on debt is 5 percent per year. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
X Answer is not complete.
a-1. Cash flow $ 67,250
a-2. Cash flow
b. Given the two investment strategies in (a), which will investors choose?
Answer:
a) $67,250
b) $68,500
c) Investment in Day Company results in a higher return, so I guess investors would probably go for it.
Explanation:
Knight Company's net income = $750,000 - $77,500 = $672,500
total investment in Knight Company = $2,300,000 / 10% = $230,000
earnings per 1$ invested = $672,500 / $2,300,000 = $0.292391
total cash flow = $230,000 x $0.292391304 = $67,250
Day Company's net income = $750,000
earnings per 1$ invested = $750,000 / $3,600,000 = $0.208333333
total investment in Day Company = $360,000, but I borrowed $130,000 to make this investment. The $130,000 will result in $6,500 annual interest payments
total cash flow = ($360,000 x $0.208333333) - $6,500 = $75,000 - $6,500 = $68,500
Alamo Inc. had $240 million in taxable income for the current year. Alamo also had a decrease in deferred tax assets of $26 million and an increase in deferred tax liabilities of $52 million. The company is subject to a tax rate of 25%. The total income tax expense for the year was:

Explanation:
Total income tax expense
Decrease in deferred tax assets $26,000,000
+Increase in deferred tax liabilities $52,000,000
+Income tax payable $60,000,000
Total income tax expense $138,000,000
Workings
Income tax payable = 25% * $240,000,000
Income tax payable = $60,000,000

An individual wants to have $95,000 per year to live on when she retires in 30 years. The individual is planning on living for 20 years after retirement. If the investor can earn 6% during her retirement years and 10% during her working years, how much should she be saving during her working life? (Hint: Treat all calculations as annuities.)
Answer:
annual contribution = $6,624.25
total amount saved in 30 years = $1,089,650
Explanation:
time until retiring = 30 years
interest rate earned until retiring = 10%
she plans to live 20 years after retiring
interest rate earned after retiring = 6%
expected distribution = $95,000 per year
in order for her to be able to have the 20 payments of $95,000, she will need:
= annual payment x PV annuity factor
annual payment = $95,000PV annuity factor (6%, 20 periods) = 11.470total amount needed = $95,000 x 11.47 = $1,089,650
in order to determine the annual contribution we need to use the future value of an annuity formula:
FV = annual payment x FV annuity factor
FV = $1,089,650FV annuity factor (10%, 30 periods) = 164.494annual payment = $1,089,650 / 164.494 = $6,624.25
Meenach Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on 66,000 direct labor-hours, total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $99,000, and a variable manufacturing overhead rate of $4.50 per direct labor-hour. Recently Job X387 was completed and required 220 direct labor-hours.
Required:
Calculate the amount of overhead applied to Job X387. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $1,320
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated fixed overhead= $99,000
Estimated variable overhead= $4.5 per unit
Estimated direct labor hour= 66,000
Recently Job X387 was completed and required 220 direct labor-hours.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (99,000/66,000) + 4.5
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 6*220
Allocated MOH= $1,320

di dolly. How should me change of mentory valuation basis be accounted for? (5 marks) QUESTION THREE (10 marks) Villandry's inventory includes three items for which the following details are available. Supplier's list pass Shs. w ka Net realisable value Shs. 5,100 2,800 4,100 Product A Product B Product C 3,600 4,200 The company receives a 24% trade discount from its suppliers and it also takes advantage of a 2% discount for prompt payment.

(b) Explain the difference that changing from a weighted average to FIFO method of inventory valuation is likely to have entity's profit or loss. (10 marks) O
Answer:
Villandry
Inventory Valuation:
a) The total value of products A, B, and C shown in inventory in the statement of financial position is:
$8,844
b) Difference and Effect of Weighted Average and FIFO Methods on Profit or Loss:
Villandry's FIFO method of valuing the cost of goods sold and ending inventory is based on the assumption that goods that are purchased first will be the first to be sold. With this assumption, the ending inventory always reflects the newest prices, while the cost of goods sold reflects the older prices. On the other hand, the weighted average method calculates the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory based on an average price. It divides the cost of goods available for sale by the quantity of goods available for sale. The average value obtained is then applied to compute the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory. What the weighted average method achieves is to even out the unit cost of inventory.
Therefore, they do not produce the same result. When prices are rising, as the FIFO method reflects more accurately the values of the cost of goods sold and ending inventory than the weighted average, it will also report higher profits or lower losses than the weighted average. The weighted average does not show such fluctuations.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net realisable List price value Purchase cost Inventory Value
Shs. Shs. Shs (list price -24%) Shs
Product A 3,600 5,100 3,876 3,600
Product B 2,900 2,800 2,128 2128
Product C 4,200 4,100 3,116 3,116
Total cost 10,700 12,000 9,120 8,844
b) The purchase costs are computed by deducting 24% trade discount from the suppliers' list prices. For example, for the total list price, taking away 24% trade discount will reduce the cost to $9,120 ($12,000 * 0.76). This purchase cost is then compared with the net realizable value to determine the inventory value for each product.
Suppose a U.S. Treasury bond will pay $2,500 five years from now. If the prevailing interest rate on 5-year Treasury bonds is 4.25%, compounded semiannually, the value of the bond today is closest to:
Answer:
The value of the bond today is closest to $1648.85
Explanation:
The value of the bond today is closest to:
Present Value = FV / (1+i)^n *m
FV= 2500
I = 4.25 = 0.0425
N= 5
M= 2
The value of the bond today = 2500 / (1+0.0425) ^5*2
The value of the bond today = 2500 / 1.516214468
The value of the bond today = 1648.853256
The value of the bond today = $1648.85
If a firm's forecasted sales are $250,000 and its break-even sales are $190,000, the margin of safety in dollars is:_________.
a) $60,000.
b) $250,000.
c) $190,000.
d) $440,000.
e) $24,000.
Answer:
a. $60000
Explanation:
The forecasted sales of the firm = $250000
Breakeven sales of the firm = $190000
We have to find the margin of safety by using the above given information. Therefore, it can be determined by subtracting the breakeven sales from sales.
The margin of safety = sales – breakeven sales
The margin of safety = 250000 – 190000
The margin of safety = $60000
Thus, option A is correct.

Consider a risky portfolio, A, with an expected rate of return of 0.15 and a standard deviation of 0.15, that lies on a given indifference curve. Which one of the following portfolios might lie on the same indifference curve?
A. E(r) = 0.15; Standard deviation = 0.20.
B. E(r) = 0.15; Standard deviation = 0.10.
C. E(r) = 0.10; Standard deviation = 0.10.
D. E(r) = 0.20; Standard deviation = 0.15.
E. E(r) = 0.10; Standard deviation = 0.20.
Answer: C. E(r) = 0.10; Standard deviation = 0.10.
Explanation:
An indifference curve is plotted by graphing the various combinations of portfolios such that the customer in question is indifferent between them as they regard the combinations as giving them equal utility.
For portfolios to be on the same indifference curve they would have to provide the same reward - risk ratio. The reward to risk ratio of the portfolio in question is;
=Expected return/standard deviation'
= 0.15/0.15
= 1.0
Any portfolio with this same reward - risk ratio will be on the same curve.
The Portfolio in Option C has the same reward - risk ratio (0.1 - 0.1) and so will lie on the same indifference curve.
You are planning to make monthly deposits of $70 into a retirement account that pays 12 percent interest compounded monthly. If your first deposit will be made one month from now, how large will your retirement account be in 24 years
Answer:
FV= $115,928.81
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly deposit= $70
Interest rate= 0.12/12= 0.01
n= 24*12= 288
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {70*[(1.01^288) - 1]} / 0.01
FV= $115,928.81

The market capitalization rate for Admiral Motors Company is 8%. Its expected ROE is 10% and its expected EPS is $5. The firm's plowback ratio is 60%. a. Calculate the growth rate. (Input your answer as a nearest whole percent.) b. What will be its P/E ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
(A) 6%
(B) 20
Explanation:
The market capitalization rate for Admiral motors is 8%
= 8/100
= 0.08
The expected ROE is 10%
= 10/100
= 0.1
The expected EPS is $5
The Plowback ratio is 60%
= 60/100
= 0.6
(A) The growth rate can be calculated as follows
= Plowback ratio × ROE
= 0.6 × 0.1
= 0.06×100
= 6%
Hence the growth rate is 6%
(B) The P/E ratio can be calculated as follows
= 1-0.6/0.08-0.06
= 0.4/0.02
= 20
Hence the P/E ratio is 20

n 2015, Antle Inc. had acquired Demski Co. and recorded goodwill of $270 million as a result. The net assets (including goodwill) from Antle's acquisition of Demski Co. had a 2016 year-end book value of $605 million. Antle assessed the fair value of Demski at this date to be $725 million, while the fair value of all of Demski's identifiable tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) was $580 million. The amount of the impairment loss that Antle would record for goodwill at the end of 2016 is:
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
As we know that the impairment loss is recognized when the book value is more than the fair value
As we can see that since book value is not greater than the fair value so the impairment loss than need to be recorded at the end of 2016 should be zero as it does not satisfy the given condition
Hence, the answer is $0 and the same is to be considered
Halsted, Inc., has outstanding 10,000 shares of $200 par value, 7% nonparticipating, cumulative preferred stock and 10,000 shares of $40 par value common stock. If the dividend on preferred stock is one year in arrears, and the total cash dividend declared this year is $288,000, then the total amounts distributed to preferred and common stockholders, respectively, are:
Answer:
Preferred stock holders' dividend = $280000
Common stock holders' dividend = $8000
Explanation:
A cumulative preferred stock is one whose dividends are accumulated in arrears and are to paid in the following year(s), if the company fails to pay or partially pay the dividends in a certain year. The yearly dividend on preferred stock is,
Preferred stock dividend = 10000 * 200 * 0.07 = $140000
As the dividends on preferred stock are in arrears for one year, the company will pay a dividend this year on preferred stock of,
Preferred stock dividend to be paid = 140000 + 140000 = $280000
Thus, out of the announced dividend of $288000, $280000 will be paid to the preferred stock holders while the remaining $8000 will be paid to the common stock holders.
Consider a project with only positive cash flows after year 0. If the company felt that the risk of the project was less than original estimates, which of the following would occur?
Answer: Required Rate of Return Net Present Value Internal Rate of Return
A Higher Higher Lower
B Higher Lower No change
C No Change Higher No change
D Lower Lower Higher
E Lower Higher No Change
Answer:
E
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the rate used to discount cash flows when calculating NPV. the more risky a project is, the higher the required rate of return. So, if it is perceived that the project is less risky, the required rate of return would decrease.
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Because the required rate of return is used to discount cash flows when calculating NPV, a lower rate would increase NPV
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested. The required rate is not needed when calculating IRR. so, there would be no change in IRR if discount rate is lowered.

Savings Mart is a national retail chain. To entice the company to open a mega store in its jurisdiction, the city of Populationville donated a 20-acre tract of land to be used for construction. The land was originally purchased by the city for $250,000 three years ago. The appraisal value at the time of the donation was $300,000. For what amount should Savings Mart record the donated land
Answer:
$300,000
Explanation:
As per the Internal service revenue (IRS) and Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), when the entity who is profit making received any fixed asset as a donation than the same assets should be recorded at the fair value amount
Here the purchase price is $250,000 and the appraisal value i.e. fair value is $300,000
So the amount of donating the land should be recorded at $300,000

mike operates a hair cutting salon that specialize in providing quick walk in service just about any type of hair. He deals with customers as they walk in the door. This includes writing down the customers name and what they desire in terms of hair cut
Complete Question:
Mike operates a hair-cutting salon that specializes in providing quick walk-in service for just about any type of haircut. He deals with customers as they walk in the door. This includes writing down the customer's name and what they desire in terms of haircut, wash, dry, and so on. This process usually takes two minutes. If no hair stylist is available, the customer then goes to the waiting area, where he/she is processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. The salon has five hair stylists who work eight hours each day. It takes, on average, 25 minutes for a stylist to greet the customer, wash and/or cut his hair, and wish him a fond farewell. Then Mike completes the process by taking the customer's money and telling him about the satisfaction guarantee offered by the shop. This final set of steps takes two minutes on average.
Requirement 1. Assuming that the waiting area always has at least one customer in it, how many customers on average can Mike's salon process in a day (assuming no problems in utilization, quality, or efficiency)?
Answer:
96 Customers
Explanation:
The time taken to process one customer includes:
Time taken by each Hair stylist to tailor the hairs of customer is 25 Minutes
Now
Time taken to process total customer in a day = Total hours available / Total time consumed by each customer
Here
Number of stylists are 5 and working hours are 8 Hrs per stylist which means total number of hours are 40 Hours per day.
By putting values, we have:
Time taken to process total customer in a day = 40 Hours / (29/60)
= 96 customers per day

What is the largest standard deviation (in grams) that the machine that fills the bar molds can have and still be considered capable if the average fill is 340 grams? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.)
Standard deviation ? in grams
b.
The machine that fills the bar molds for the 1-ounce bars has a standard deviation of .86 gram. The filling machine is set to deliver an average of 1.03 ounces per bar. Specifications for the six-bar box are 153 to 187 grams. Is the process capable? Hint: The variance for the box is equal to six times the bar variance.
Yes?
or
No?
c.
What is the lowest setting in ounces for the filling machine that will provide capability in terms of the six-bar box? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.)
Lowest setting ? in ounces
Answer:
A) ≈ 3.509 grams
B) The process is not capable because the lowest Cpk which is 1.89 ≈ 1.9 is far from the ideal 1.33 capability index number ( NO )
c) 1.051 ounces
Explanation:
A) The largest standard deviation ( in grams)
This can be calculated applying the capability index formula and according to the capability index formula the value at which a process is capable is at : 1.33
hence the largest standard deviation = upper limit - lower limit / 6 * 1.33
( 354 - 326 ) / 7.98 = 3.5087 ≈ 3.509 grams
B) we first calculate the process mean and std of the box
standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{variance }[/tex]
std of the six-bar box = [tex]\sqrt{6*0.86^2}[/tex] = 2.106
process mean = 6 * ( 1.03 * 28.33) = 175.079
the mean is not centered between the upper specification and the lower specification hence we will apply the formulae used in calculating the capability index for an uncentered process
Cpk = (upper value - process mean) / (3 * std of box),
= (187 - 175.079) / ( 3 * 2.106) = 11.921 / 6.318 = 1.89
Cpk = (process mean - lower value ) / (3*std of box)
= ( 175.079 - 153 ) / (3 * 2.106) = 22.079 / 6.318 = 3.49
The process is not capable because the lowest Cpk which is 1.89 ≈ 1.9 is far from the ideal 1.33 capability index number ( N0 )
c ) lowest setting
calculate the value of the mean using capability index of 1.33
Cpk = (upper value - mean ) / 3 * std
mean = 187 - 1.33 * 3 * 2.106
= 187 - 8.40 = 178.60 grams
Cpk = ( process mean - lower value ) / 3 * std
mean = 1.33 * 3 * 2.106 + 153
= 8.40 + 153 = 161.40 grams
the lowest setting in ounces
= 178.60 / ( 6 bar * 28 .33)
= 178.60 / 169.98 = 1.051 ounces
Principles of Economics: Outlines Ten Principles of Economics that we will replicate here, they are:
Answer:
The correct answers are:
1) People face trade-offs
2) The cost of something is what you give up to get it
3) Rational people think at the margin
4) People respond to incentives
5) Trade can make everyone better off
6) Markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity
7) Governments can sometimes improve market outcomes
8) A country's standard of living depends on its ability to produce goods and services
9) Prices rise when the government prints too much money
10) Society faces a short-run tradeoff between Inflation and unemployment.
Explanation:
To begin with, those ten principles of economics were first introduce by Gregory Mankiw in the book he wrote name Principles of Economics and he devided the principles in sections in where he organized the way everything was connected. Therefore that there are three major headlines of that are: How people make decisions; How people interact with each other; and the forces and trends that affect how the economy as a whole works.
