Russell Retail Group begins the year with inventory of $62,000 and ends the year with inventory of $52,000. During the year, the company has four purchases for the following amounts.
Purchase on February 17 $217,000
Purchase on May 6 137,000
Purchase on September 8 167,000
Purchase on December 4 417,000
Required:
Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = 948000
Explanation:
Inventory at the beginning of the year = $62000
Inventory at the end of the year = $52000
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchases during the year - ending inventory
Cost of goods sold = $62000 + 217000 + 137000 + 167000 + 417000 - $52000
Cost of goods sold = 948000

If the price per unit were doubled at the same time that the variable cost per unit was doubled, the break-even point would be:
Answer:
halved
Explanation:
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
Assume fixed cost is initially 1000 units, price is 10, variable cost is 5
breakeven quantity = 1000 / (10 - 5) = 200
assume price per unit were doubled at the same time that the variable cost per unit was doubled
1000 / ( 20 - 10) = 100
breakeven point is halved

HealthSouth manipulated their financial statements by making ______________ in false or unsupported entries in the company's accounting systems.
Answer: 2.7 billion
Explanation:
Your boss believes the company's power plant is producing too much air pollution on a typical island. Your boss gives you three choices for dealing with this problem because he/she does not want to deal with it: You can pay a pollution tax (Carbon Offsets) one time of $13,000,000 immediately. You can close the plant and install a power cable from the mainland to the Island. That will cost you $1,000,000 at the end of this year, $3,000,000 at the end of next year and then $750,000 forever for maintenance. You can retrofit the plant with scrubbers to reduce the emissions to make the plant green. That will cost $7.5m at the end of this year and $100,000 for 50-years for maintenance. Assume that the cost of generating power on the mainland is approximately the same as the cost of generating power at the Island's plant. Assume, this comes as a surprise to you and you, have not saved any money in reserves, and you need to raise capital. Additional information is that market has a 12 percent market risk premium on the power plant with the risk-free rate being 5 percent with a company tax rate of 35 percent.
Current total raised capital at the power plant: (This will help you calculate the WACC) Debt – 7,000 outstanding bonds, at 7.5% coupon and 20 years to maturity. These bonds pay interest semiannually and quoted a price of 108 percent of par. Common Stock -180,000 shares outstanding, selling for $50 per share: Beta .90. Preferred Stock – 8,000 shares of 5.5 percent preferred stock outstanding, currently selling for $95.00 per share. Please answer in essay format and provide your Excel document showing all your calculation in appendixes choose the best option for Island. Support your answer with your calculations. Also, to calculations use specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles.
Answer:
WACC is 10.38%.
Best option is no 3, paying $750,000 this year and then $100,000 for 5 years.
Explanation:
WACC = Common stock * cost of equity + Debt * Cost of debt + Preferred stock * rate of return.
Common stock = 180,000 shares * $50 = $9,000,000
Preferred stock = 8,000 shares * $95 per share = $760,000
Debt = 7,000 bonds * 108% = $7,560,000
Cost of equity : 12% * 0.9 + 5% = 12.5%
Cost of debt : 7.5% * 0.65 = 4.40%
Preferred stock return rate : 5.5% / 95 = 5.79%
WACC = 10.38%
PV for option 1: $13,000,000
PV for option 2: $9,298,647
PV for option 3: $7,661,247

Laurel, Inc., and Hardy Corp. both have 7.3 percent coupon bonds outstanding, with semiannual interest payments, and both are currently priced at the par value of $1,000. The Laurel, Inc., bond has 4 years to maturity, whereas the Hardy Corp. bond has 23 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds
Answer:
Use a financial calculator to find out the price of both bonds after the drop in interest rate.
Laurel Bond
When a bond is trading at par, it means that the interest rate is equal to the coupon rate.
Semiannual Coupon = (7.3% * 1,000) / 2 = $36.50
Terms till maturity = 4 * 2 = 8 semi annual periods
Interest rate = (7.3% + 2%) / 2 = 4.65%
Future value = $1,000 par value
Price will come out as $993.20
Percentage change = (993.20 - 1,000) / 1,000 * 100%
= -0.68%
Hardy Bond
Semiannual Coupon = (7.3% * 1,000) / 2 = $36.50
Terms till maturity = 23 * 2 = 46 semi annual periods
Interest rate = (7.3% + 2%) / 2 = 4.65%
Future value = $1,000 par value
Price = $811.53
Percentage change = (811.53 - 1,000) / 1,000
= -18.85%

Which of the following would not occur as a result of a monopolistically competitive firm suffering a short-run economic loss?
A) The firm could exit the industry in the long run.
B) If the firm does not exit the industry in the long run its demand curve will shift to the left.
C) If the firm does not exit the industry in the long run its demand curve will shift to the right.
D) If the firm remains in the industry in the long run it will break even.
choose "A"
choose "B"
choose "C"
choose "D"
Answer:
B) If the firm does not exit the industry in the long run its demand curve will shift to the left.
Explanation:
This is because the statement "If the firm does not exit the industry in the long run its demand curve will shift to the left, " simply means that if the monopolistic competitive firm stays in a particular industry for long, the firm will experience a situation in which less of the good or service is demanded at every price.
However, this cannot be true because a monopolistic competitive firm produces unique products that tend to have its specific customers. These customers, in the long run, will demand more goods and services of the firms which will be affected positively by a lot of reasons including prices of related goods, increase in salary, better economy at large, etc.
The spot price of an investment asset that provides no income is $32.10 and the risk-free rate for all maturities (with continuous compounding) is 6.25%. What is the 4-year forward price? Answer with two decimal digits accuracy. Example: 52.12
Answer:
$41.22
Explanation:
Forward price = Spot price*(1 + Risk free rate)^Time of contractContinuous compounding rate = e^(0.0625) = 1.06449445892 = 1.0645
Forward price = $32.10 * (1.0645)^4
Forward price = $32.10 * 1.28405215218
Forward price = $41.2180741
Forward price = $41.22
So, the 4-year forward price is $41.22.
n January 1, 2018, the Shagri Company began construction on a new manufacturing facility for its own use. The building was completed in 2019. The only interest-bearing debt the company had outstanding during 2018 was long-term bonds with a book value of $11,600,000 and an effective interest rate of 11%. Construction expenditures incurred during 2018 were as follows: January 1 $ 660,000 March 1 696,000 July 31 576,000 September 30 760,000 December 31 460,000 Required: Calculate the amount of interest capitalized for 2018.
Answer:
$183,700
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of interest capitalized for 2018.
First step is to calculate the Accumlated expenditure
Date Expenditure * Weight = Average
January 1 660000 * 12/12 =660,000
March 1 696000 * 10/12 = 580,000
July 31 576000 * 5/12 = 240,000
September 30 760000 * 3/12 =190,000
December 31 460000 * 0/12 = 0
Accumulated expenditure=660,000+580,000+240,000+190,000
Accumulated expenditure=$1,670,000
Now let determine the amount of interest capitalized for 2018
Interest capitalized for 2018=$1,670,000 * 11%
Interest capitalized for 2018=$183,700
Therefore the amount of interest capitalized for 2018 is $183,700
On September 1, Year 1, West Company borrowed $50,000 from Valley Bank. West agreed to pay interest annually at the rate of 6% per year. The note issued by West carried an 18-month term. West Company has a calendar year-end. What is the amount of interest expense that will be reported on West's income statement for Year 1
Answer:
$999.90
Explanation:
The interest expenses will be charged for 4 month (September 1 to December 31)
Interest expenses = $50,000 * 6% * 4/12
Interest expenses = $50,000 * 0.06 * 0.3333
Interest expenses = $999.90
So, the amount of interest expense that will be reported on West's income statement for Year 1 is $999.90
Assume you deposit $5,000 at the end of each year into an account paying 9.5 percent interest. a. How much money will you have in the account in 19 years
Answer: $242,567.27
Explanation:
The $5,000 is an annuity as it is being paid every year and is a constant amount.
The value in 19 years is the future value of this annuity:
Future value of annuity = Annuity * ( ( 1 + rate) ^ number of years - 1) / rate
= 5,000 * ( ( 1 + 9.5%)¹⁹ - 1) / 9.5%
= $242,567.27

Suppose your client wishes to purchase an annuity that pays $50,000 each year for 5 years, with the first payment 4 years from now. At an interest rate of 10%, how much would the client need to invest now
Answer:
The amount the client would need to invest now is $182,143.58.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the following two steps:
Step 1: Calculate the present value (PV) of the amount invested 4 years from now
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV4 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV4 = Present value of the amount invested 4 years from now = ?
P = Annual payment = $50,000
r = Interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years the annual payment will be received = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV4 = $50,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^5) / 0.10)
PV4 = $189,539.34
Step 2: Calculate the amount the client would need to invest now
This can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:
PV = PV4 / (1 + r)^n …………………………. (2)
Where:
PV = Present value or the amount the client would need to invest now = ?
PV4 = Present value of the amount invested 4 years from now = $189,539.34
r = Interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years of PV4 from now = 4
Substituting the relevant values into equation one, we have:
PV = $189,539.34 / (1 + 0.01)^4
PV = $182,143.58
Therefore, the amount the client would need to invest now is $182,143.58.
A firm that purchases a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) information system benefits by getting a standardized system without having to absorb development costs, but risks getting a system that does not align with the firm's businesses processes and existing technologies.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software refers to the software products which are readily made and hence are available in the market for purchase.
One benefit of this is that when it's purchased, the company gets a standardized system without having to absorb development cost. Despite this advantage, it has a disadvantage as the company can risk getting a system which doesn't align with the businesses processes and existing technologies of the company.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
Lopez Company has Retained Earnings of $48,000 at the end of March, 2020. During the month of April, Lopez has revenues of $72,000 and total operating expenses of $52,000. Lopez also pays its shareholders dividends of $10,000 on April 30. What is Lopez Ending RE = Beg. RE+NI - Div = Beg. RE + (Rev - Exp) - Div = 10,000 + (70,00 0-85,000) - 5,000 = (10,000) Company's ending balance of Retained Earnings on April 30?
Answer: $58,000
Explanation:
Ending retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividends
Net income = Revenues - Operating expenses
= 72,000 - 52,000
= $20,000
Ending retained earnings = 48,000 + 20,000 - 10,000
= $58,000
Assume the following information from a schedule of cost of goods manufactured:
Beginning work in process inventory 30,000
Direct materials used in production 50,000
Direct labor 60,000
Total manufacturing costs to account for 219,000
Ending work in process inventory 72,000
What is the manufacturing overhead applied to work in process?
A. $15,800
B. $144,500
C. $150.000
D. $79,000
Answer:
The manufacturing overhead applied to work in process is:
D. $79,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning work in process inventory 30,000
Direct materials used in production 50,000
Direct labor 60,000
Total manufacturing costs to account for 219,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to WIP 79,000 (219,000 - 140,000)
Ending work in process inventory 72,000
b) The manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process is the difference between the total manufacturing costs to account for and the costs of beginning work in process, direct materials, and direct labor for the period. When the ending work in process is deducted from the total manufacturing costs, the resulting figure represents the cost of goods transferred to finished goods inventory.
