Park Hyatt Philadelphia has 118 king/queen rooms that it offers to both leisure and business travelers. With leisure travelers in mind, the Hyatt offers a $125 low fare for a midweek stay, which contrasts with the regular fare of $300. The forecasted demand for business travel is normally distributed with a mean of 60 customers and standard deviation of 20 customers. Assuming that leisure travelers always reserve their rooms earlier than business travelers. To maximize the revenue, the Hyatt decides to save some rooms for business travelers. The optimal number of rooms protected should be:__________ a. <60 b. >118 c. >60 d. =60
Answer:
c. >60
Explanation:
Given that:
Overage (CO) = 125
Shortage (CS) = 300
The Service level = [tex]\dfrac{CS}{CS+CO}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{300}{300+125}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{300}{425}[/tex]
= 0.7059
The Z value of 0.7059 is 0.55
where;
the mean [tex]\mu[/tex] = 60
the standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex]= 20
Optimal booking = [tex]\mu +(Z \times \sigma)[/tex]
Optimal booking = 60 + (0.55 × 20)
Optimal booking = 60 + 11
Optimal booking = 71
What is the modified duration of a four-year bond with annual 10% coupons and a 10% yield to maturity?
Answer:
the formula to calculate modified duration of bonds:
modified duration = [1 - (1 + y)⁻ⁿ] / y
modified duration = [1 - (1 + 10%)⁻⁴] / 10% = 0.317 / 10% = 3.17 years
if you want to determine the Macaulay duration = modified duration x (1 + yield) = 3.17 years x 1.1 = 3.49 years
The modified duration shows how a bond's value can change as a result of a change in the interest rate.

The Prince-Robbins partnership has the following capital account balances on January 1, 2015:
Prince, Capital $130,000
Robbins, Capital 120,000
Prince is allocated 80 percent of all profits and losses with the remaining 20 percent assigned to Robbins after interest of 7 percent is given to each partner based on beginning capital balances. On January 2, 2021, Jeffrey invests $40,000 cash for a 20 percent interest in the partnership. This transaction is recorded by the goodwill method. After this transaction, 6 percent interest is still to go to each partner. Profits and losses will then be split as follows: Prince (50 percent), Robbins (30 percent), and Jeffrey (20 percent). In 2021, the partnership reports a net income of $10,000.
Required:
a. Prepare the journal entry to record Jeffrey entrance into the partnership on January 2, 2015.
b. Determine the allocation of income at the end of 2015.
Answer:
The Prince-Robbins-Jeffrey Partnership
a) Journal entry to record Jeffrey entrance into the partnership on January 2, 2015:
Debit Capital Account - Prince $72,000
Debit Capital Account - Robbins $18,000
Credit Goodwill $90,000
To record the negative goodwill arising at Jeffry entrance into the partnership.
Debit Cash Account $40,000
Credit Capital Account - Jeffrey $40,000
To record the investment by Jeffrey into the partnership.
b) Allocation of income at the end of 2015:
Prince Robbins Jeffrey Total
Interest 6% $3,480 $6,120 $2,400 $12,000
on new capital
Loss sharing -1,000 -600 -400 -2,000
Net income $2,480 $5,520 $2,000 $10,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 1, 2015: Capital Old Profit sharing ratio
Prince, Capital $130,000 80%
Robbins, Capital 120,000 20%
Total $250,000 100%
Interest on capital = 7% based on beginning capital balances.
b) Calculation of Negative Goodwill arising from Jerry's admission:
New capital after Jerry's admission = $290,000
Implied capital at Jerry's admission = $40,000/20% = $200,000
Negative goodwill arising = $200,000 - $290,000 = -$90,000
This negative goodwill will be shared by Prince and Robbins to reduce their capital:
Prince = $72,000 ($90,000 * 80%)
Robbins - $18,000 ($90,000 * 20%)
c) New Capital on January 2, 2015:
Capital Negative Goodwill New Profit sharing ratio
Jerry, Capital $40,000 20%
Prince, Capital $58,000 ($130,000 - 72,000) 50%
Robbins, Capital $102,000 ($120,000 - 18,000) 30%
Total capital $200,000 100%
Interest on capital = 6%
d) Jeffrey's admission and ownership of 20% reduced the capital balances of Prince and Robbins by $90,000. There was a negative goodwill arising from his admission into the partnership. This negative goodwill is shared between the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio.
Bramble Corp. reported net income of $87800 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Included in net income were depreciation expense of $16500 and a gain on sale of equipment of $3600. The equipment had an historical cost of $80500 and accumulated depreciation of $48400. Each of the following accounts increased during 2021: Land $10900 Prepaid rent $14000 Available-for-sale securities $2000 Bonds payable $9500 What is the amount of cash provided by or used by investing activities for Bramble Corp. for the year ended December 31, 2021?
Answer:
net cash provided by investing activities $22,800
Explanation:
the carrying value of the equipment = $80,500 - $48,400 = $32,100
the sales price of the equipment was $32,100 + $3,600 (gain on sale) = $35,700
land was purchased for $10,900
available for sale securities were purchased fro $2,000
total cash flows from investing activities = $35,700 (cash proceeds from sales of equipment) - $10,900 (land purchased) - $2,000 (AFS securities purchased) = $22,800
Materials used by Jefferson Company in producing Division C's product are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of $10 per unit. However, the same materials are available from Division A. Division A has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by Division C at a variable cost of $7.50 per unit. A transfer price of $8.50 per unit is negotiated and 30,000 units of material are transferred from Division A to Division C, with no reduction in Division A's current sales. How much would Jefferson's total income from operations increase
Answer:
$75,000
Explanation:
Since both divisions are part of Jefferson Company, intercompany sales cannot yield a profit once the balance sheet is consolidated. In this case, Jefferson Company is saving $10 - $7.50 = $2.50 per unit and since it needed 30,000 units, it saved a total of $2.50 x 30,000 = $75,000. Whenever you save money, your profits will increase by the same amount.
Brief Exercise 229 Iverson Company purchased a delivery truck for $45,000 on January 1, 2020. The truck was assigned an estimated useful life of 5 years and has a residual value of $10,000. Compute depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method for the years 2020 and 2021.
Answer:
the depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method for the years 2020 and 2021 is $18,000 and $10,800 respectively
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense using the double declining method for the year 2020 and 2021 is as follows:
For 2020
= (Cost) × depreciation rate
= $45,000 × 1 ÷ 5 × 2
= $18,000
For 2021
= ($45,000 - $18,000) × 0.40
= $10,800
hence, the depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method for the years 2020 and 2021 is $18,000 and $10,800 respectively

Michonne Corp.'s Free Cash Flow (FCF) for the most recent year (year 0) is $730 (million). FCF is expected to grow by 14% next year (1 year from now), by 10% the year after that (2 years from now), and by 5% per year thereafter. Michonne's WACC is estimated at 8%. The estimated Enterprise Value (Value of Operations) for Michonne is $____________(million).
Answer:
enterprise value = $29,024.26 million
Explanation:
first we must calculate the terminal value in year 2:
terminal value = FCF₃ / (WACC - g)
FCF₃ = $730 x 1.14 x 1.1 x 1.05 = $961.191WACC = 8%g = 5%terminal value = $961.191 / (8% - 5%) = $32,039.70
enterprise value = $832.2/1.08 + $915.42/1.08² + $32,039.70/1.08² = $770.556 + $784.825 + $27,468.879 = $29,024.26 million

new cars are normal goods. What will happen to the equilibrium price of new cars if the price of gasoline falls and auto-workers receieve lower wages
Answer:
Going by the logic that, new cars are normal goods, it is safe to assume that, the price of those cars would fall if it were to be that the price of gasoline falls and as well as the auto-workers receive lower wages.
This is because, the relation between the two factors are directly proportional to each other. For example, if the auto-workers wage were $100 per 100 and it was subsequently reduced to $40 per hour, the overhead cost would drastically be reduced.

Hardwoods, a timber supplying company, contracted with a furniture manufacturer, Taylor Furniture. Hardwoods owned a large plot of land where it grew oak and beech trees. Taylor had contracted with Hardwoods to buy one ton of each type of lumber grown by Hardwoods each month at a discounted price for the next five years. However, during the second year of the contract, and tornado Hardwoods farmland, and demolished its entire supply of wood. Taylor having no other supplier sued Hardwoods for breach of contract. Hardwoods argued that their contract had been legally discharged as soon as the tornado struck because at that point it was impossible for Hardwoods to supply lumber to Taylor. The court ruled in favor of Hardwoods. But what if the facts of the case were different
Answer:
the options are missing, so I looked for a similar question:
Instead of a tornado’s striking Hardwoods’ land, the state in which Hardwoods operates passes a law making it illegal for any lumber companies to cut down trees for the purposes of selling their wood. This environmental measure causes Hardwoods to go out of business. Instead of demanding Oak and Beech wood grown specifically on Hardwoods’ land, Taylor requests shipments of Oak and Beech wood from Hardwoods, and specifies in the contract that if Hardwoods cannot supply the wood, then Hardwoods should obtain the requested wood from another lumber supplier. Instead of a tornado’s striking Hardwoods’ tree farm, a wildfire burns all of Hardwoods’ trees. After the tornado, Hardwoods and Taylor Furniture agree to a novation, whereby a competing company, Oakempire, assumes the duties of Hardwoods stated in the original contract.
The answers are:
2. Instead of demanding Oak and Beech wood grown specifically on Hardwoods’ land, Taylor requests shipments of Oak and Beech wood from Hardwoods, and specifies in the contract that if Hardwoods cannot supply the wood, then Hardwoods should obtain the requested wood from another lumber supplier.
4. After the tornado, Hardwoods and Taylor Furniture agree to a novation, whereby a competing company, Oakempire, assumes the duties of Hardwoods stated in the original contract.
Explanation:
In common law, a tornado or any other type of natural disaster is considered an Act of God. A company cannot be held liable for such events, and if a contract is breached because of it, there is no legal responsibility (option 3 is another type of Act of God)
Also, if the law or existing regulation changes, and that change makes it impossible for a party to fulfill their obligations, they are not liable for breaching the contract (option 1).
In meeting the gross income test for claiming his father as a dependent, James must consider the income received by his father. This income included gross rents of $3,000 (expenses were $2,000), municipal bond interest of $1,000, dividends of $1,500, and Social Security of $4,000. What is James' father's gross income for the qualifying relative test purposes in 2019
Answer:
Explanation:
In 2019, the gross income test is an official order that all dependents have no right to earn more than a given amount of income each year which is ($4200).
To compute the gross income for James Father, we have:
Description Amount
Gross income for rents $3000
Municipal Bond Interest 0
Dividend Income $1500
Social Security: 0
(since social security is exempted from the gross-income dependency test;
The total gross income = $4500
Thus, the gross income for James Father is $4500 as such he is not qualified to be dependent.
What was the impact of "subprime" mortgages on the economy?
A.They increased defaults and caused large losses at financial institutions.
B.They initially reduced profits and sales of lenders.
C. They reduced interest rates.
Answer:
A.They increased defaults and caused large losses at financial institutions.
Explanation:
'Subprime" mortgages were home homes offered in the early 2000s to borrowers with low and poor credit history. By the time of issues, the interest rates were relatively low, which meant that subprime borrowers who usually attract high-interest rates were approved for mortgages. The demand for housing grew exponentially as borrowers with good and poor credit history alike tool mortgages. The price for houses continued to rise, prompting the Fed to raise the interest rate to contain inflation.
Between 2205 and 2006, house prices collapsed suddenly. Interest rates were rising, but house prices were dropping. Many homeowners were unable to repay their mortgages. The interest and principle there are paying were very high compared to the market value for the homes. There were massive layoffs by subprime mortgage lenders, while others closed down or applied for bankruptcy. The decline in prices implied that the mortgage value was high compared to the market price for houses.
On September 1, 2019, Parker, Inc. made a loan to one of its customers. The customer signed an 8-month note for $105,000 at 14%. Calculate the maturity value of the note. (Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places, and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:Maturity value =$115,000
Explanation:
Maturity value is the amount that includes the principal and accrued interest that a borrower should pay on its maturity date.
Maturity value of note = Principal + interest accrued
Interest = Principal x rate x time
=$105,000 x 14% X 8/12
=$9,800
Maturity value = $105,000 + 9,800
=$114,800
rounding up to the nearest dollar≈$115,000
Your portfolio is 310 shares of Callahan, Inc. The stock currently sells for $101 per share. The company has announced a dividend of $3.20 per share with an ex-dividend date of April 19. Assuming no taxes, what is your portfolio value as of April 19?
Answer: $30,318
Explanation:
On the day the dividend is announced, the price of the stock usually goes down by the amount of dividend announced.
Price on April 19 = 101 - 3.20 = $97.80
Portfolio value = 97.80 * 310 shares
= $30,318
Long Life Floors is expected to pay an annual dividend of $7 a share and plans on increasing future dividends by 2 percent annually. The discount rate is 15 percent. What will the value of this stock be 5 years from today
Answer: $60.62
Explanation:
Using the Gordon Growth model;
Value = Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)
Next dividend in 5th year will be dividend in 6th year;
= 7 * (1 + 2%)⁶
= $7.88
Value₅ = 7.88 / (15% - 2%)
= $60.62

10. Parmentier Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The Molding Department is the second department in its production process. The data below summarize the department's operations in January. The accounting records indicate that the conversion cost that had been assigned to beginning work in process inventory was $5,096 and a total of $87,668 in conversion costs were incurred in the department during January. What was the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for January in the Molding Department
Answer:
$1.752 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost is as follows:
Total conversion cost for month of January
= Opening wip conversion cost + current production conversion cost
= $5,096 + $87,668
= 92,764
Now the total equivalent units is
= Units transferred out + ending wip
= 51,300 × 100% + 5,500 × 30%
= 52,950 units
Now the cost per equivalent unit is
= $92,764 ÷ 52,950 units
= $1.752 per unit
