M I N I C A S E
Your employer, a mid-sized human resources management company, is considering expansion into related fields, including the acquisition of Temp Force Company, an employment agency that supplies word processor operators and computer programmers to businesses with temporary heavy workloads. Your employer is also considering the purchase of a Biggerstaff & Biggerstaff (B&B), a privately held company owned by two brothers, each with 5 million shares of stock. B&B currently has free cash flow of $24 million, which is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. B&B’s financial statements report marketable securities of $100 million, debt of $200 million, and preferred stock of $50 million.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Temp Force required rate of return is 13%

The shareholders of B&B will have rights of dividend in the company's profit.

Explanation:

Temp Force company will require a rate of return based on the risk of the company. The beta factor determines the business risk of the company. For the Temp Force the beta factor is 1.2

Required rate of return of temp Force;

r = Rf + (Rm - Rf) * beta

r = 7% + (12% -7%) * 1.2

r = 13%

B&B shareholders will have voting rights in the company and they are eligible for any dividends declared by the company. They will have rights to elect the director and attend the AGM and EOGM. These rights are given to shareholders to maintain good corporate governance in the company.

Answer:

He should learn to appreciate the power of appearance and improve his decoding skills to be a better reader of others’ reactions.

Explanation:

In the given scenario it is obvious that Mr Youngher did not read the situation and act appropriately.

He came late for the meeting. The correct thing for him to do would have been to apologize.

Instead he moves in close as they shake hands and winks. This kind of familiarity is inappropriate under the circumstances.

Also he went to the interview with a rumpled suit.

This would give a bad impression about himself.

He should learn that a neat appearance creates a good impression about people, this helps them rate you higher

At the end of April, Cavy Company had completed Jobs 766 and 765. The individual job cost sheets reveal the following information:
Job Direct Materials Direct Labor Machine Hours
Job 765 $8,400 $2,520 30
Job 766 11,970 3,780 70
Job 765 produced 180 units, and Job 766 consisted of 280 units.
Assuming that the predetermined overhead rate is applied by using machine hours at a rate of $106 per hour.
A. Determine the balance on the job cost sheets for each job.
B. Determine the cost per unit at the end of April.

Answers

Answer:

A. Job 765 $14,100

Job 766 $23,170

B.Job 765 $78.33 unit price

Job 766 $82.75 unit price

Explanation:

A. Calculation to Determine the balance on the job cost sheets for each job

Job 765= $8,400 +$2,520+ (30*$106 per hour)

Job 765=$8,400+ $2,520+$3,180

Job 765=$14,100

Job 766=$11,970 +$3,780+ (70*$106 per hour)

Job 766=$11,970 +$3,780+ $7,420

Job 766=$23,170

Therefore the balance on the job cost sheets for each job will be:

Job 765 $14,100

Job 766 $23,170

B. Calculation to Determine the cost per unit at the end of April

Job 765=$14,100 /180 units

Job 765=$78.33 unit price

Job 766= $23,170/280 units.

Job 766= $82.75 unit price

Therefore the cost per unit at the end of April will be:

Job 765 $78.33 unit price

Job 766 $82.75 unit price

Answer:

Operating cash Activities relate to transactions that have to do with the daily operations of the business such as accounts receivables, payables and stock.

Investing cash activities relate to transactions that have to do with the capital expenditure of the company such as fixed assets and securities in other companies.

Financing relates to those transactions relating to how the business finances its operations which includes equity and capital.

Anything that would require cash to be spent is reducing the balance and anytime cash comes in, the balance is increased.

Decrease in current asset is an increase because it means less cash was spent to acquire the asset.

Decrease in current liability is a decrease because it means that the company paid cash to reduce the liability.

Amortization and Depreciation add to the Operating balance because they are none cash items that were removed from Net income.

a. Acquisition of building by cash payment ⇒ INVESTING (+).

= Checks written in November + Checks written in December - Checks presented in November for payments - Checks presented in December for payments

= $27,850 + $37,986 - $25,399 - $32,656

= $7,781

A new faculty member at the local university pays $1,500 per month to rent an apartment in the downtown area. She teaches on campus three days a week and works from home the remaining two days. On the days when she must commute, given the heavy traffic congestion, it takes her two hours each way to commute from downtown to campus. According to the assumptions of the bid-rent model, what should this professor be willing to pay in rent per month to live near campus if her hourly wage rate is $25

Answers

Answer:

$2,700

Explanation:

Calculation for what should this professor be willing to pay in rent per month

First step is to calculate the Transportation cost per week

Transportation cost = ($25*4 hrs)* 3 per week

Transportation cost =$100*3 per week

Transportation cost= 300 a week

Now let calculate the rent per month

Rent per month= $1500 + ($300*4)

Rent per month=$1,500+$1,200

Rent per month= $2,700

Therefore what should this professor be willing to pay in rent per month to live near campus if her hourly wage rate is $25 will be $2,700

Read the descriptions and identify which region each one describes.
1. Historically, this region has suffered from extreme poverty, which continues to this day. Growth has been effectively zero since the 1960s. Problems such as political instability, poor public health and a lack of effective institutions have all contributed to its stagnation.
2. Until the middle of the last century, these countries were relatively poor. Beginning in the mid 1970s, real GDP per capita growth has averaged 6% per year. The growth was achieved in part because of high levels of investment spending in the development of human and physical capital and rapid technological progress.
3. In the early 1990s, this region was in the middle of substantial social and economic reform. Countries in this region have experienced variable growth rates, depending on their ability to adapt to the modern market economy.
4. In the early 20th century, this region was reasonably prosperous. Since that time, however, growth has stagnated, owing to government instability, banking failures, and runaway inflation. Recently, some countries in the region have begun to grow more consistently, with one country becoming a powerhouse of world economic development.

A company is producing christmas light strings containing 20 small bulbs. Suppose the success or failure of a bulb is independent of the success or failure of other bulbs and the probability that a bulb is lightning properly is 0.92.
a. When you order a christmas light string, what is the probability of at most 3 of those small bulbs are not lightning properly.
b. Find the mean and the variance of bulbs in a string that are not lightning properly.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Number of bulbs = 20

Success of a bulb lightning properly = 0.92

Success of a bulb not lightning properly = 0.08

We have to find the probability of atmost 3 bulbs not lightning properly -

The random Variable X follows binomial distribution

= 0.929385

Mean and variance of bulbs in a string that are not lightning properly is given by

Mean of binomial distribution or E(X) = n*p = 20*0.08 = 1.6

Variance of binomial distribution or V(X) = n*p*(1-p) = 20*0.08*0.92 = 1.472

Bunker makes two types of briefcase, fabric and leather. The company is currently using a traditional costing system with labor hours as the cost driver but is considering switching to an activity-based costing system. In preparation for the possible switch, Bunker has identified two activity cost pools: materials handling and setup. Pertinent data follow: Fabric Case Leather Case Number of labor hours 16,000 8,000 Number of material moves 620 930 Number of setups 40 120 Total estimated overhead costs are $238,800, of which $186,000 is assigned to the materials handling cost pool and $52,800 is assigned to the setup cost pool. Required: 1. Calculate the overhead assigned to the leather case line using the traditional costing system based on direct labor hours. 2. Calculate the overhead assigned to the leather case line using ABC. 3. Was the leather case over- or undercosted by the traditional cost system compared to ABC

Answers

Answer:

1. 79,600

2. 151,200

3.The leather case line is undercosted by the traditional cost system compared to ABC

Explanation:

1. Calculation for the overhead assigned to the leather case line using the traditional costing system based on direct labor hours

Overhead Assigned to leather case =[$238,800/(16,000+8,000)*8,000]

Overhead Assigned to leather case =[$238,800/24,000*8,000]

Overhead Assigned to leather case =79,600

Therefore the overhead assigned to the leather case line using the traditional costing system based on direct labor hours will be 79,600

2. Calculation for the overhead assigned to the leather case line using ABC

First step is to calculate the Material handling rate

Material handling rate = 186,000/(620+ 930)

Material handling rate = 186,000/1,550

Material handling rate = 120 per move

Second step is to calculate the Setup cost

Setup cost =$52,800/(40+ 120)

Setup cost =$52,800/160

Setup cost = 330 per setup

Now let calculate overhead assigned to the leather case line using ABC

Overhead assigned to leather case ABC = (930*120)+(120*330)

Overhead assigned to leather case ABC =111,600+39,600

Overhead assigned to leather case ABC = 151,200

Therefore the overhead assigned to the leather case line using ABC will be 151,200

3. Based on the above calculation the leather case line is undercosted by the traditional cost system compared to ABC

Faye, Gary, and Heidi each have a one-third interest in the capital and profits of the FGH Partnership. Each partner had a capital account of $50,000 at the beginning of the tax year. The partnership profits for the tax year were $270,000. Changes in their capital accounts during the tax year were as follows:
Faye Gary Heidi Total
Beginning balance $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $150,000
Withdrawals (20,000) (35,000) (10,000) (65,000)
Additional contributions -0- -0- 5,000 5,000
Allocation of profits 90,000 90,000 90,000 270,000
Ending balance $120,000 $105,000 $135,000 $360,000
In arriving at the $270,000 of partnership profits, the partnership deducted $2,400 ($800 for each partner) in premiums paid for group term life insurance on the partners. Faye and Gary are 39 years old, and Heidi is 35 years old. Other employees are also eligible for group term life insurance equal to their annual salary. These premiums of $10,000 have been deducted in calculating the partnership profits of $270,000.

Answers

Answer:

a. Each partner's gross income from the partnership for the tax year is $_________

$90,800

b. Community Property:

a. California.

Doug: $51,100  Liz: $57,200

b. Texas.

Doug: $54,150 Liz: $54,150

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Partnership profits =  $270,000

Add Insurance premium  2,400

Total profits shareable $272,400

Share of each partner = $90,800 ($272,400/3)

(Or Share of profit $90,000 + Premium $800 = $90,800)

b) Community Property:

Doug's salary $41,000

Liz's salary $55,000

Rent on apartments purchased by Liz 15 years ago $8,000

Dividends on stock Doug inherited from his mother 4 years ago $1,900

Interest on a savings account in Liz's name funded with her salary $2,400

Total community property = $108,300

Less Separate Property:

Less Liz's rent $8,000

Less Doug's dividends $1,900 9,900

Remaining community property = $98,400

This is shared equally ($98,400/2) = $49,200

a. California.

Doug: $51,100 ($49,200 + $1,900) Liz: $57,200 ($49,200 + $8,000)

b. Texas.

Doug: $54,150 Liz: $54,150 ($108,300/2)

c) Texas and California are two of the nine states that have community property jurisdiction.  The implication is that any property acquired by a couple during their marriage is equally owned by both spouses. In California, the spouse also owns a one-half interest in your regular income, provided it does not come from your separate property.  But in Texas, income from separate property is included in the community property and is equally shared, though the separate property itself remains separate and is not shareable.

= Estimated overhead ÷ cost driver per activity

a. For designing

= $448,260 ÷ 12,400

= $36.15 per design hour

b. For sizing and cutting

= $4,009,050 ÷ 151,000

= $26.55 per machine hour

c. For stiching and trimming

= $1,419,075 ÷ 79,500

= $17.85 per labor hour

d. For wrapping and packing

= $299,250 ÷ 31,500

= $9.5 per finished units

What is the net operating income for the month of March

Answers

Answer:

the net operating income is $19,000

Explanation:

The computation of the net operating income is shown below:

As we know that

Net Operating Income = Revenue - Costs

= $10,000 + $20,000 - $5,000 -$6,000

= $19,000

Hence, the net operating income is $19,000

we simply deduct the cost from the revenue so that the net operating income could come

Whichever machine is purchased will be replaced at the end of its useful life. Which machine should Bruno's purchase and why

Answers

Answer:

Machine A; because it will save the company about $13,406 a year

Equate Annual Cost = PV of Cash Outflow ÷  PVAF (r%, n)

For Machine A:

Year            CF          PVF  at 14.6%           Disc CF

0            $3,18,000.00    1.0000                 $3,18,000.00

1              $ 8,700.00   0.8726                 $7,591.62

2             $8,700.00   0.7614               $6,624.45

3 $      8,700.00           0.6644 $      5,780.50

PV of Cash Outflow                               $3,37,996.58

PVAF(14.6%,3)                                          2.2985

PV of Cash Outflow                            $1,47,053.69

Answer:

what there is no question

Explanation:

Consider a firm with an EBIT of $11,400,000. The firm finances its assets with $51,800,000 debt (costing 7.4 percent) and 10,900,000 shares of stock selling at $8.00 per share. The firm is considering increasing its debt by $25,000,000, using the proceeds to buy back shares of stock. The firm is in the 30 percent tax bracket. The change in capital structure will have no effect on the operations of the firm. Thus, EBIT will remain at $11,400,000. Calculate the EPS before and after the change in capital structure and indicate changes in EPS. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

EPS Before the change in capital structure = $0.486 Per shares

EPS After the change in capital structure = $0.515 Per shares

Difference = $ 0.029

Explanation:

Calculation of EPS before the change in capital structure :

Particulars                                                                         Amount

EBIT                                                                           $ 11,400,000  

Interest Cost                                                                    $ 3,833,200 (51,800,000×7.4%)

Earning After Interest                                                    $ 7,566,800

Tax ( 30% )                                                                        $ 2,270,040

Net Profit after tax                                                            $ 5,296,760

Number of Shares outstanding                                     $ 10,900,000

Earning Per Shares                                                      $0.486

Calculation of EPS after the change in capital structure :

Particulars                                                                         Amount

EBIT                                                                             $ 11,400,000

Interest Cost                                                                     $ 5,683,200  

( $ 76,800,000×7.4%)

Earning After Interest                                                     $ 5,716,800

Tax ( 30%)                                                                     $ 1,715,040

Net Profit after tax                                                             $40,01,760

Number of Shares outstanding                                     77,75,000

Earning Per Shares                                                       $0.515

∴ we get

EPS Before the change in capital structure = $0.486 Per shares

EPS After the change in capital structure = $0.515 Per shares

Difference = $ 0.486 - 0.515 = $ 0.029
