Answer:
B) Diluted weighted shares is always greater than or equal to basic weighted average shares
Explanation:
Basic Earnings per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks
Diluted Earnings per Share includes the Potential voting rights in the calculation of Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks and thus its weighted shares is always greater than or equal to basic weighted average shares.
Earnings per Share used Weighted Shares Outstanding at Period End instead of just Outstanding Shares at Period End.
Which of the following is not a part of checking a diversified company's business units for cross-business competitive advantage potential?
A. Ascertaining the extent to which sister business units have value chain match-ups that offer opportunities to combine the performance of related value chain activities and reduce costs
B. Ascertaining the extent to which sister business units have value chain match-ups that offer opportunities to transfer skills or technology or intellectual capital from one business to another
C. Ascertaining the extent to which sister business units are making maximum use of the parent company's competitive advantages
Answer:
C. Ascertaining the extent to which sister business units are making maximum use of the parent company's competitive advantages.
Explanation:
For a diversified company that has many business units, it is important for the sister units to provide opportunities that make more profit for the business.
These opportunities are generated by the ability of each sister unit to have a unique competitive edge not shared by other business units.
In analysing cross business competitive advantage among sister units, we don't consider which sister business units are making maximum use of the parent company's competitive advantages.
This is because the company's competitive advantage is a trait shared by all the business units. It does not show a unique competitive edge of sister units.

suppose the returns on long term corporate bonds and T-bills are normally distributed. Based on the values below answer the following questions: what is the probability that in any given year, the return on long-term corporate bonds will be greater than 10 percent? long term corporate bonds average return= 6.30%
Answer:
32.35% ( the probability that in any given year, the return on long-term corporate bonds will be greater than 10 percent )
Explanation:
Given data for long-term corporate bonds
Standard deviation : 8.3%
mean = 6.2%
To calculate the probability that in any given year, the return on long-term corporate bonds will be greater than 10 percent ( USING THE NORM-DIST FUNCTION )
P( x > 10% ) = 1 - P(x<10%) = 1 - NORM-DIST (10,6.2,8.3,TRUE ) = 0.3235
= 32.35%

On July 23 of the current year, Dakota Mining Co. pays $6,165,600 for land estimated to contain 8,808,000 tons of recoverable ore. It installs machinery costing $1,849,680 that has a 10-year life and no salvage value and is capable of mining the ore deposit in eight years. The machinery is paid for on July 25, seven days before mining operations begin. The company removes and sells 488,500 tons of ore during its first five months of operations ending on December 31. Depreciation of the machinery is in proportion to the mine's depletion as the machinery will be abandoned after the ore is mined.
Required:
Prepare entries to record the following:_______.
(a)To record the purchase of the land.
(b)To record the cost and installation of machinery.
(c) To record the first five months' depletion assuming the land has a net salvage value of zero after the ore is mined.
(d)To record the first five months' depreciation on the machinery.

According to, "Ditching the Dollar," having multiple reserve currencies to choose from is healthy because:
Answer: D. If one country creates all the reserves it can prevent other countries from trading.
Explanation:
Ditching the Dollar refers to a movement by nations to reduce the dependence on the US. dollar for transactions.
The USD is the major currency for trade around the world with it accounting for the currency of use in more than 50% of the entire World trade. This was due to the Bretton Woods Agreement and System which at the time pegged the USD to gold and other currencies at certain value to the USD.
The influence the USD gained that day continues today. Countries however are increasing becoming fed up by the United States using the Dollar to impose trade restrictions and sanctions on countries and then requiring everyone to fall in line because trades are mostly done in the currency controlled by the US, the USD.
For instance, when sanctions were imposed on Iran, the European Union looked for alternative means of payment for Iranian oil.
Ditching the Dollar therefore argues that having multiple reserve currencies to choose from is healthy because one country will not be able to control world trade as the US has.

If George wants to maximize his utility per dollar spent, he should buy 2 hamburgers and 4 sodas. This will yield him 52 utils (form hamburgers) and 57 utils (form sodas) = 109 utils per day
For a certain item, the cost-minimizing order quantity obtained with the basic EOQ model is 200 units, and the total annual inventory (carrying and setup) cost is $400. What is the inventory carrying cost per unit per year for this item? $2.00 $3.00 $150.00 $1.00 not enough data to determin
Answer:
$2 per unit per year
Explanation:
The calculation of the inventory carrying cost per unit per year is shown below:
Inventory Carrying cost per unit per year is
= Total Annual Inventory cost ÷ Economic order quantity
= $400 ÷ 200 units
= $2 per unit per year
It is computed By dividing the total annual inventory cost from the economic order quantity, in order to get the inventory carrying cost

Ploeger Corporation has provided the following contribution format income statement. Assume that the following information is within the relevant range.Sales (4,000 units) $ 240,000Variable expenses $156,000Contribution margin $84,000Fixed expenses $81,900Net operating income $2,100What is the break-even point for Ploeger Corporation in dollar sales?
Answer:
Break-even point (dollars)= $234,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (4,000 units) $240,000
Variable expenses $156,000
Fixed expenses $81,900
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 81,900/ [(240,000 - 156,000)/240,000]
Break-even point (dollars)= 81,900/0.35
Break-even point (dollars)= $234,000

31-Dec $8,000,000 0/12 $0
Total $19,680,000. $8,413,333
Note: Weighted-Average accumulated expenditure = Amount * Current year capitalization period
Weighted average interest rate on general borrowings = 10% * (6,400,000 / 18,400,000) + 11%* (12,000,000 / 18,400,000)
=10.65%
Interest for specific borrowing should be capitalized for entire year.
Avoidable interest = ($3,200,000*12%) + ($8,413,333 - $3,200,000) * 10.65%
Avoidable interest = $939,220

a. Computer stocks currently provide an expected rate of return of 16%. MBI, a large computer company, will pay a year-end dividend of $2 per share. If the stock is selling at $50 per share, what must be the market's expectation of the growth rate of MBI dividends? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. If dividend growth forecasts for MBI are revised downward to 5% per year, what will be the price of the MBI stock? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. What (qualitatively) will happen to the company's price–earnings ratio? The P/E ratio will decrease. The P/E ratio will increase.
Answer:
a)
$50 = $2 / (16% - g)
16% - g = $2 / $50 = 4%
g = 16% - 4% = 12%
expected growth rate = 12%
b)
P₀ = $2 / (16% - 5%)
P₀ = $2 / 11%
P₀ = $18.18
c)
P/E ratio = share price / EPS
since the share price decreases from $50 to $18.18, the P/E ratio will decrease. When you are dividing a number, if the numerator decreases while the denominator remains still, the answer will decrease.
Growth rate in case 1 and Current Stock Price in case 2 are 12% and $18.18
Computation:
Case 1 ; Using Gordon's Model,
P = D1/(r - g)
50 = 2/(16% - g)
50 = 2/(0.16 - g)
0.16 - g = 2/50
0.16 - g = 0.04
g = 0.16 - 0.04
g = 0.12
Growth rate = 12%
Case 2 ; Using Gordon's Model,
P = D1/(r - g)
P = 2/(16% - 5%)
P = 2/(0.16 - 0.05)
Current Stock Price P = $18.18
Case 3;
Because the value of the shares has dropped, the P/E ratio has dropped as well. As a result, the P/E ratio will fall.

Assume company can produce any amount above 3.4 units. Naploc purchased the equipment for $12,000 and did not start production yet. Market price is $400. Tebit Inc, another company that operates in the same industry desperately needs equipment and makes an offer to Naples. Debit already knows Naples cost structure. What is the lowest price that Tebit should offer for the equipment
Answer: $12,000
Explanation:
As no production has been started yet, no other costs have been incurred by Naples for the equipment other than the $12,000.
The lowest price that Tebit should offer therefore should be the price that the equipment was purchased for as the equipment has not not been used to produce anything and so has not incurred any variable costs or donated any incremental value that would decrease or increase its value.
Which of the following is true of optional-product pricing? Question 11 options: 1) It involves setting geographically specific prices. 2) It involves pricing products that can be added to the base product. 3) It is used to price products that must be used with the company's main product. 4) It involves capitalizing on low value by-products. 5) It is used to price a company's main product.
Answer: 2) It involves pricing products that can be added to the base product.
Explanation:
Optional-product planning is a method of pricing where the producer lure buyers in by selling at a cheap price which can sometimes even fall below their cost price. These products however can not be fully utilized alone or as they are. They require accessories.
This is where the company hopes to make up the profit. They charge low on the main product, then hope to make up the cost when you buy the accessories. An example would be Printers and ink.
This is a risky method of selling and so needs the accessories to be priced in such a way that the company makes no losses.

Standard cost:
A. Materials price
B. Materials efficiency
Labor Variances
Actual cost:
Split cost:
Standard cost:
C. Labor rate
D. Labor efficiency
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 4,000 units
Actual Cost Standard Cost
Direct material 3,900 lbs. $5.30 4,000 lbs. $5.10
Direct labor 6,200 hrs, $8.40 6,000 hrs. $8.70
To calculate the direct material price and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (5.3 - 5.1)*4,000
Direct material price variance= $800 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (3,900 - 4,000)*5.3
Direct material quantity variance= $530 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (6,200 - 6,000)*8.4
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $1,680 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (8.4 - 8.7)*6,000
Direct labor rate variance= $1,800 unfavorable
Tulip Inc. uses standard costing, and its manufacturing standards are as follows: 2 pounds of materials at $13 per pound, and 3 hours of labor at $10 per hour. Budgeted production last period was 5,000 units, and actual production was 4,800 units. Last period, Tulip purchased and used 9,800 pounds of materials for $135,000, and used 15,000 labor hours, costing $145,000. WHat is the journal entry to record direct labor costs to the costs of goods sold account
Answer:
Dr Work In Progress $144,000
Dr Direct Labor Cost Variance $1,000
Cr Wages Payable $145,000
Explanation:
The first step would be to calculate the direct labor variance which is calculated as under:
Direct Labor Cost Variance = Standard Labor Cost of Actual Production - Actual Labor Cost for Actual Production
Standard Labor Cost of Actual Production = Standard Labor Cost * Actual Production
Here
Actual Production is 4,800 Units and standard labor cost is 3 Hrs at $10 per hour which means:
Standard Labor Cost of Actual Production = 4,800 Units * 3 Hrs * $10 per Hr
= $144,000
Actual Labor Cost for Actual Production is $145,000
By putting the values in the above equation, we have:
Direct Labor Cost Variance = $144,000 - $145,000 = ($1,000) Unfavorable
The double entry would be:
Dr Work In Progress $144,000
Dr Direct Labor Cost Variance $1,000
Cr Wages Payable $145,000
After posting the entries to close all revenue and expense accounts, the Income Summary account of Cleaver Auto Services has a $5,700 debit balance. This result implies that Cleaver earned a net income of $5,700.
a) true
b) false
Answer: False
Explanation:
The Income Summary Account contains the ending accounts of all revenue and expense accounts in a company with the net amount transferred to the account being the company's net profit (loss).
Income as an equity item is credited when it increases and debited when it decreases meaning that a debit represents a net loss. Cleaver Auto Services having a $5,700 debit balance in their Income summary account means that they have made losses of $5,700 not income.

You hold short positions of a stock and believe the price of the stock is going to decline within the next three months. However, you realize the stock price could increase and want to hedge that risk. Which one of the following option positions should you take to create the desired hedge? A) Buy a call B) Sell a call C) Buy a put D) Sell a put E) No option position will create the desired hedge
Answer: A) Buy a call
Explanation:
A Call Option is a derivative instrument where a person buys the option to be able to buy an asset at a set price. The call option therefore makes a profit if the price of the asset increases past the set (exercise ) price as the holder of the call option will be able to buy the asset for lower than it's market value.
If you believe that the price is likely to increase then you should buy a call option so that if it does increase, you can make a profit from the call option that would offset your loss from the short positions.

Adams Manufacturing allocates overhead to production on the basis of direct labor costs. At the beginning of the year, Adams estimated total overhead of $368,900; materials of $407,000 and direct labor of $217,000. During the year Adams incurred $415,000 in materials costs, $412,900 in overhead costs and $221,000 in direct labor costs. Compute the amount of overhead applied to jobs during the year.
a. $375,700.
b. $412,900.
c. $368,900.
d. $412,890.
e. $424,150.
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $375,700
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated total overhead= $368,900
Estimated direct labor= $217,000
Actual direct labor= $221,000
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= 368,900/217,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.7 per direct labor dollar
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual labor costs:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.7*221,000
Allocated MOH= $375,700
A bond with an annual coupon rate of 7.2% sells for $988.22. What is the bond’s current yield? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
7.29%
Explanation:
The computation of the current yield of the bond is shown below;
Current yield is
= (Par value × annual coupon rate) ÷ Selling price of the bond
= ($1,000 × 7.2%) ÷ $988.22
= $72 ÷ $988.22
= 7.29%
Hence, the bond current yield is 7.29%
This is to be computed by applying the above formula so that the current bond yield could arrive
