Please EXPLAIN answer for a thumps-up. I'm tried of wrong answers, please don't answer it unless you are 100% sure.
Answer:
A. The correct option is b. $46,067.
B. The correct option is d. $46,620.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
A. Assuming that Rich does not maintain perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the weighted-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Note: See part A of the attached excel file for the calculation of the of units and cost of goods available for sale.
Since Rich does not maintain perpetual inventory records, this implies that this is a periodic inventory system. And update to inventory in a periodic inventory system are made on a regular basis, such as monthly, quarterly, etc.
From the part A attached excel file, we have:
Units of goods available for sale = 23,100
Cost of goods available for sales = $236,481
Weighted-average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sales / Units of goods available for sale = $236,481 / 23,100 = $10.2372727272727
Inventory at January 31 = Units of inventory balance at January 31 * Weighted-average cost per unit = 4,500 * $10.2372727272727 = $46,068
From the options the closest one is b. $46,067. Therefore, the inventory at January 31 is $46,067 and the correct option is b. $46,067.
B. Assuming that Rich maintains perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the moving-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Note: See part B of the attached excel file for the calculation of the inventory at January 31 (in bold red color).
Under Perpetual Inventory system, the inventory is updated whenever a purchase or sale is made. It's a procedure that happens in real time.
In the Part B of the attached excel file, the following rates in light red color are made as follows:
Rate on January 6 = ($87,930 + $61,800) / 15,000 = $9.98 per unit
Rate on January 26 = ($74,865 + 86,751) / 15,600 = $10.36 per unit
From the part B attached excel file, we have:
Inventory at January 31 = $46,620.
Therefore, the correct option is d. $46,620.
Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 14% and a standard deviation of 30%. The T-bill rate is 6%. Your risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions: Stock A 24 % Stock B 32 Stock C 44 Your client decides to invest in your risky portfolio a proportion (y) of his total investment budget with the remainder in a T-bill money market fund so that his overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 13%. a. What is the proportion y? (Round your answer to 1 decimal places.) b. What are your client's investment proportions in your three stocks and in T-bills? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.) c. What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on your client's portfolio?
Answer:
a. 87.5%
b. Stock A: 21%; Stock B: 28%; Stock C: 38.5%; T-bill: 12.5%
c. Standard deviation of the client's portfolio: 26.25%
Explanation:
a. y is calculated as:
Risky portfolio return * y + T-bill return * (1 - y) = Expected return of the portfolio <=> 0.14y + 0.06 ( 1-y) = 0.13 <=> y = 87.5%
b. Client investment in each stock and in T-bills:
Client investment in each stock = 0.875 * percentage of each stock in a risky portfolio ( because the risky portfolio is accounted for 87.5% of the whole investment)
=> Stock A = 24% x 0.875 = 21% ; Stock B = 32% * 0.875 = 28% ; Stock C = 44 * 0.875 = 38.5%
Client investment in T-bill = 1- y = 1 - 0.875 = 12.5%
c. Standard deviation is calculated as: Standard deviation of risky portfolio * y = 30% * 87.5% = 26.25% (because standard deviation of return in T-bill is 0)
A company projects an increase in net income of $108000 each year for the next five years if it invests $900000 in new equipment. The equipment has a 5-year life and an estimated salvage value of $300000. What is the annual rate of return on this investment?
a. 20.5%
b. 31.0%
c. 30.0%
d. 30.8%
Answer:
18 %
Explanation:
Annual rate of return on this investment = annual profit / average investment x 100
where,
annual profit = $108000
average investment = (initial cost + salvage value) ÷ 2
= ($900000 + $300000) ÷ 2
= $600,000
therefore,
annual rate of return on this investment = $108000 / $600,000 x 100
= 18 %
Suppose that Sarita has a gross annual income of $43,000. Her annual deductions for taxes, 401(k) retirement plan contributions, and health insurance amount to $9,400. This leaves Sarita with an annual disposable income of $33,600. Dividing Sarita annual disposable income by 12, you can determine that Sarita has a monthly disposable income of $__________ .
Answer:
Monthly disposal income = $2,800
Explanation:
Disposal income is the amount left for spending after all statutory deductions and taxes have been subtracted from an employees' income.
Annual Disposal income = Annual gross Income - statutory deductions and taxes
Monthly disposal income = Annual disposal/12
= (43,000-9,400)/12= $2,800
Monthly disposal income = $2,800
Kemp Manufacturing set 70,000 direct labor hours as the annual capacity measure for computing its predetermined variable overhead rate. At that level, budgeted variable overhead costs are $315,000. Kemp will apply budgeted fixed overhead of $140,400 on the basis of 3,900 budgeted machine hours for the year. Both machine hours and fixed overhead costs are expected to be incurred evenly each month. During March 2013, Kemp incurred 5,900 direct labor hours and 300 machine hours. Actual variable and fixed overhead were $26,325 and $11,400, respectively. The standard times allowed for March production were 5,980 direct labor hours and 290 machine hours.
Required:
a. Using the four-variance approach, determine the overhead variances for March 2013.
b. Prepare all journal entries related to overhead for Kemp Manufacturing for March 2013.
Answer:
Kemp Manufacturing
a. Four-variance approach to determine overhead variances for March 2013:
i. Variable overhead spending variance
= (Actual hours worked × Actual variable overhead rate) – (Actual hours worked × Standard variable overhead rate)
= $225 F ($26,325 - $26,550)
ii. Variable overhead efficiency variance
= (standard hours allowed for production – actual hours taken) × standard overhead absorption rate per hour
= $360 F (5,980 - 5,900) * $4.5
iii. Fixed overhead spending variance = actual fixed overhead cost - budgeted fixed overhead cost
= $600 U ($11,400 - $10,800)
iv. Fixed overhead production volume variance = budgeted fixed overhead - applied fixed overhead costs
= $360 U ($10,440 - $10,800)
b. Journal Entries:
Manufacturing Overheads:
Debit Manufacturing Overhead $26,325
Debit Overapplied Variable Overhead 225
Credit Manufacturing Overhead Applied $26,550
To record variable overhead costs.
Debit Manufacturing Overhead $11,400
Credit Manufacturing Overhead Applied $10,800
Credit Underapplied Fixed Overhead $600
To record fixed overhead costs.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual Capacity:
Direct labor hours = 70,000
Budgeted variable overhead costs = $315,000
Standard variable overhead rate = $4.50 ($315,000/70,000)
Fixed overhead = $140,400
Budgeted machine hours for the year = 3,900
Standard fixed overhead rate = $36 ($140,400/3,900)
March 2013:
Actual direct labor hours = 5,900
Machine hours = 300
Actual variable overhead = $26,325
Actual variable overhead rate per DLH = $4.462 ($26,325/5,900)
Actual fixed overhead = $11,400
Actual fixed overhead rate = $38 ($11,400/300)
Standard machine hours = 290
Standard direct labor hours = 5,980
Suppose that the money supply and the nominal GDP for a hypothetical economy are $96 bilion and $336 bilion, respectively. (In part a round your answer to 1 decimal place. In part c enter your answer as a whole number.)a. What is the velocity of money?b. How will households and businesses react if the central bank reduces the money supply by $20 billion?
i. Households and businesses will increase spendingii. Households and businesses will not react.iii. Households and businesses will reduce spending.c. By how much will nominal GDP have to fall to restore equilibrium, according to the monetarist perspective?
Answer:
V = 3.5 (1 dollar circulates 3.5 times in a year)
In short term – Reduction of aggregate demand and real output
In long term – reduction of wages and increase of real output of firms
Nominal GDP will fall by $20 bilion
Explanation:
Equation of monetisation =
Total money in circulation = Total money demanded/total output
Money Supply * Money Velocity = Price Level * GDP
V = PY/M
Substituting the given values, we get –
V = 336/96
V = 3.5
This indicates 1 dollar circulates 3.5 times in a year
In short term – Reduction of aggregate demand and real output
In long term – reduction of wages and increase of real output of firms
Nominal GDP will fall by $20 bilion
The controller of Sandhill Industries has collected the following monthly expense data for use in analyzing the cost behavior of maintenance costs. Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours January $2,880 3,820 February 3,273 4,364 March 3,928 6,546 April 4,632 8,619 May 3,491 5,455 June 4,844 8,730 (a1) Determine the variable-cost components using the high-low method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places e.g. 2.25.)
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours
January $2,880 3,820
February 3,273 4,364
March 3,928 6,546
April 4,632 8,619
May 3,491 5,455
June 4,844 8,730
To calculate the variable component using the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,844 - 2,880) / (8,730 - 3,820)
Variable cost per unit= $0.4
Fones Inc. and Speed Dial Corp. are two competitors in the mobile phone market. The cost incurred by each company to manufacture smartphones is $200 per unit. Although both the companies sell their smartphones at the same price, Speed Dial Corp. has a larger market share in the smartphone industry. What does this imply
Answer: C. Speed Dial Corp has been able to offer more perceived value than Fones Inc.
Explanation:
Both companies incur the same costs to produce the phone and also sell at the same price. This means that they should be selling the same number of phones in theory. This is not the case however as Speed Dial Corp is selling more.
The reason Speed Dial must be selling more phones is that they sell a better phone for the same price. In offering more value to the customer for the same price, the customers are buying more from Speed Dial than from Fones because they are getting a better deal for the same price which means that Speed Dial's phone is undervalued.

Current yield = 10.65%
Therefore The current yield on this bond is 10.65%
Due to a turnover, a company hires 400 employees each year, on average. Assume that an average stay of an employee in the company is 5 years. On average, how many employees does the company have?
Answer:
On average, the company has 2000 employees.
Explanation:
Since, due to a turnover, a company hires 400 employees each year, on average; assuming that an average stay of an employee in the company is 5 years, to determine, on average, how many employees does the company have, the following calculation must be performed:
Year 0 = 0
Year 1 = 400 (+400)
Year 2 = 800 (+400)
Year 3 = 1200 (+400)
Year 4 = 1600 (+400)
Year 5 = 2000 (+400)
Year 6 = 2000 (+400 -400)
Year 7 = 2000 (+400 - 400)
Therefore, on average, the company has 2000 employees.

he's!Once the cells in a biological machine stop working, it can never be started again. It goes into a cascade of decay, falling toward disorder and randomness. Except in the case of viruses. They can turn off and go dead. Then, if they come in contact with a living system, they switch on and multiply. The only thing that "lived" inside this monkey was the unknown agent, and it was dead, for the time being. It was not multiplying or doing anything, since the monkey's cells were dead. But if the agent touched living cells, Nancy's cells, it would come alive and begin to amplify itself. In theory, it could amplify itself around the world in the human species.
Summary of central idea: It is petrifying that even if viruses are dead, they have the potential to "come alive.”
You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $160,000, and it would cost another $40,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $80,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require a $7,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $52,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%.
Required:
a. What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow?
b. What are the project's annual cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3?
Answer:
a.
$207,000
b.
Year 1: $57,600
Year 2: $67,200
Year 3: $30,000
Explanation:
a.
Calculate the initial outlay of the project at year 0 as follow
Initial Outlay = Base Price + Modification cost + Working Capital requirement
Initial Outlay = $160,000 + $40,000 + $7,000
Initial Outlay = $207,000
b.
The working for the calculation of the cash flow is attached with this answer, please refer to the attached file.

Information on each machine follows: Old machine New machine Original cost $9,000 $20,000 Accumulated depreciation 5,000 0 Annual cash operating costs 9,000 4,000 Current salvage value of old machine 2,000 Salvage value in 10 years 500 1,000 Remaining life 10 yrs 10 yrs Refer to Jarett Motors. The $4,000 of annual operating costs that are common to both the old and the new machine are an example of a(n):________ a. opportunity cost b. irrelevant cost c. future avoidable cost d. sunk cost
Answer:
The correct option is b. irrelevant cost.
Explanation:
An irrelevant cost can be described as an expense that will not be affected by the decisions of thee management. Therefore, irrelevant costs are those that will not change if you choose one option over another in the future.
Therefore, the $4,000 of annual operating costs that are common to both the old and the new machine are an example of irrelevant cost. This is because the 4,000 of annual operating costs will not be affected or will still be incurred whether Jarett Motors managment decide to keep its existing car washing machine or purchase a new one.
Therefore, the correct option is b. irrelevant cost.
New lithographic equipment, acquired at a cost of $800,000 at the beginning of a fiscal year, has an estimated useful life of five years and an estimated residual value of $90,000. The manager requested information regarding the effect of alternative methods on the amount of depreciation expense each year. On the basis of the data presented to the manager, the double-declining-balance method was selected. In the first week of the fifth year, the equipment was sold for $135,000. Required: 1. Determine the annual depreciation expense for each of the estimated five years of use, the accumulated depreciation at the end of each year, and the book value of the equipment at the end of each year by (a) the straight-line method and (b) the double declining- balance method. 2.

One potential advantage of financing corporations through the use of bonds rather than common stock is: ______________
a. the corporation must pay the bonds at maturity
b. the interest on bonds must be paid when due
c. a higher earning per share is guaranteed for existing common shareholders
d. the interest expense is deductible for tax purposes by the corporation.
Answer:
d. the interest expense is deductible for tax purposes by the corporation.
Explanation:
Corporate finance can be regarded as division of finance which handles the way corporations deal with activities such as investment decisions as well as funding sources and capital structuring. Corporate finance primarily deals with maximization of shareholder value by the use of long and short-term financial planning as well as implementation of various strategies. financing of corporations could be through the use of bonds as well as use of common stock.
There are different advantages that is associated to issuing bonds instead of issuing shares of common stock, is that Interest that comes on bonds as well as other debt is deductible as regards to the income tax return of the corporation while the dividends that comes on common stock are not regarded as deductible on the income tax return. It should be noted that One potential advantage of financing corporations through the use of bonds rather than common stock is the interest expense is deductible for tax purposes by the corporation.

Other things equal, the deadweight loss of a tax Group of answer choices decreases as the size of the tax increases. increases as the size of the tax increases, but the increase in the deadweight loss is less rapid than the increase in the size of the tax. increases as the size of the tax increases, and the increase in the deadweight loss is more rapid than the increase in the size of the tax. increases as the price elasticities of demand and/or supply increase, but the deadweight loss does not change as the size of the tax increases.
Answer:
increase as the size of the tax increase, and the increase in the deadweight loss is more rapid than the increase in the size of the tax.
Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
The different types of tax include the following;
1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.
2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.
3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.
Other things being equal (ceteris paribus), the deadweight loss (loss of economic efficiency due to a lack of balance in competing economical influences for goods or services) of a tax increase as the size of the tax increase, and the increase in the deadweight loss is more rapid than the increase in the size of the tax.
Phillips Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 20 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 8 percent thereafter. If the required return is 11 percent and the company just paid a dividend of $1.45, what is the current share price
Answer:
$69.47
Explanation:
D1 = ($1.45*1.20) = $1.7
D2 = ($1.7*1.20) = $2.04
D3 = ($2.04*1.20) = $2.45
Value after year 3 = (D3*Growth Rate) / (Required rate-Growth Rate)
Value after year 3 = ($2.45*1.08) / 0.11-0.08
Value after year 3 = $2.646 / 0.03
Value after year 3 = $88.20
Current share price = Future dividend and value*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time)
Current share price = $1.7/1.11 + $2.04/(1.11)^2 + $2.45/(1.11)^3 + $88.20/(1.11)^3
Current share price = $1.5315315 + $1.65571 + $1.7914189 + $64.49107
Current share price = $69.4697304
Current share price = $69.47
There are linkages between the microeconomic decisions made by managers and the macroeconomic environment. There are numerous examples from the current recession of company layoffs at the micro level, directly influenced by the decline in economic activity at the macro level. For this assignment, research this linkage. How did the recession impact businesses/managers at the macro and micro levels? You may use one company as the basis of your research.
Answer:
One typical example of this linkage between the economy at the macroeconomic level, and business decisions at the macroeconomic and microeconomic level, is what happened with Lehman Brothers in 2008.
Explanation:
Lehman Brothers was one of the main investment banks in the United States. During the years prior to the financial crisis, Lehman Brothers decided to pursue a risky but profitable strategy of over leveraging -lending a lot more money than they had as deposits.
Once the financial crisis hit, a macroeconomic event, it affected the company at the macro and micro level. At the macro level because Lehman Brothers itself ceased to exist as it went bankrupt, and at the micro level, because it had to enter a process to pay off some debtors, and some of the employees who were laid off due to the dissolution of the firm.

Assume that IBM is expected to pay a total cash dividend of $5.60 next year and that dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 5% per year forever. Assuming annual dividend payments, what is the current market value of a share of IBM stock if the required return on IBM common stock is 10%?
Answer: $112
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Growth Rate = 5%
Dividend at end of year,D1 = 5.60
Required return, ke = 10%
Then, the current market value will be:
P0 = De/(ke-g)
= 5.60/(10% - 5%)
= 5.60 / 5%
= 5.60/0.05
= $112
Therefore, the current market value of a share of IBM stock is $112.
Niendorf Corporation's 25-year maturity bonds have an 8.75% coupon rate with interest paid semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. if your required rate of return is 13% what is the intrinsic value of the bond
Answer: $687.10
Explanation:
The value of a bond is the present value of the bond's coupon payments plus the present value of the bond's par value at maturity.
First convert terms to semi-annual periods as the coupon rate is semi annual:
Coupon payment = (1,000 * 8.75%) / 2 = $43.75
Required return = 13% / 2 = 6.5%
Number of periods = 25 * 2 = 50 semi annual periods
The coupon payment is an annuity so the value of the bond is:
= Present value of annuity + Present value of par
= (43.75 * ( 1 - (1 + 6.5%) ⁻⁵⁰) / 6.5%) + 1,000 / ( 1 + 6.5%)⁵⁰
= $687.10
