The Herbertson Company leases machines to clients. Annual rentals are paid each year, with the first payment due on the day the lease begins. A machine with a book value of $12,000 is leased. Unguaranteed salvage value is $1,500. Lease term is six years. Herbertson's interest rate is 5%. What is the approximate annual lease payment? "Coursehero"
Answer:
$2,251.63
Explanation:
Calculation for the approximate annual lease payment
Since we looking for the approximate annual lease payment this means that our annual lease payment will be x and since the interest rate is 5% and we were been told that the first payment occured at the beginning of lease in which balance of 5 payments at the end of each year which means that we would find the PVA factors of (5%,5)
Hence,
x + x × Present value annuity factor (5%,5)
= $12,000
x + x(5.3295) = $12,000
5.3295x = $12,000
Now let divide the PVA of 5.3295 by $12,000 in order to get the approximate annual lease payment
x = $12,000 / 5.3295
x = $2,251.63
Therefore the approximate annual lease payment will be $2,251.63

What insight does ROI give into investment performance? Is it acceptable to lose product on one product, if that product is vital to the sale of an extremely profitable product? Please explain why?
Answer:
ROI = net income / investment
Investors will always prefer a higher ROI, as long as the project's risk doesn't increase due to the higher ROI. E.g. a very low risk project might have a discount rate = 5-6%, while a very risky project might have a discount rate of over 20-30%. The same applies to any type of investment, relatively secure projects or investments will relatively higher ROIs are extremely desirable. But as more people want to invest in them, the returns should fall to a more "normal" level.
Sometimes, you can lose when selling one product if that results in higher gains from selling another product. E.g. on my job we sell paper towels and napkins. Paper towels generally yield very high gains, but napkins usually result in a loss or at best a break even situation. But we use paper napkins as an "incentive" to sell paper towels. If we look at total volume of units, we sell much more paper napkins than paper towel, but paper towel sales yield 30 times more profit (on a per $ basis) than napkins. So we offer our clients a combo of a discount on napkins if they purchase a certain amount of paper towels.
Kosakowski Corporation processes sugar beets in batches. A batch of sugar beets costs $91 to buy from farmers and $17 to crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber and beet juice, emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $48 or processed further for $38 to make the end product, industrial fiber that is sold for $86. The beet juice can be sold as is for $67 or processed further for $45 to make the end product, refined sugar that is sold for $134. How much more profit (loss) does the company make by processing one batch of sugar beets into the end products industrial fiber and refined sugar
Answer:
$29
Explanation:
The computation of the more profit or loss via processing one batch of sugar to the end products is shown below:
= Total sale in the case when it is processed further - processing cost
where,
Total sale in the case when it is processed further is
= $86 + $134
= $220
And, the processing cost is
= $91 + $17 + $38 + $45
= $191
So, the profit is
= $220 - $191
= $29

C) Mark can recover damages from Mike for buying the James' share.
D) James is entitled to keep the money he received from Mike.
Answer: D. James is entitled to keep the money he received from Mike.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Mark and James established a partnership to deal in textiles. Both of them contributed equal capital to the partnership and that two years later James sold his share of the firm to Mike.
The option that is permissible is that James is entitled to keep the money he received from Mike.
What is crisis management? What distinguishes crisis management from management during ordinary business conditions? What are some principles for leading companies effectively during a crisis?
Explanation:
Crisis management corresponds to the process that managers will have to seek solutions for an organization to go through a period or a situation where there are negative risks to the business.
Crisis management is different from management during normal business conditions, since this is not a management whose focus is to generate positive results by achieving the objectives and goals, crisis management is the planning of action plans aimed at reduce or eliminate adverse situations in a company.
A good leader in a crisis management situation will have to essentially improve his communication skills and strategies, so that the negative effects of anti-crisis actions do not substantially affect employees and their rights, as it is a fact that many times when managing a crisis, the leader will need to reduce the headcount, or cut costs that can mean reduced wages or benefits. Therefore, in order to go through this difficult phase, it is necessary to plan, direct and assertive communication that encourages employees and motivates them to join forces so that integrated people can make the organization recover from the crisis.

On his current year tax return, what amount is taxable income?
a. $3,050
b. $3,300
c. $3,800
d. $4,050
Answer:
c. $3,800
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of taxable income
Using this formula
Taxable income =Interest income from a checking account+Interest income from corporate bonds +Interest income from federal bonds
Let plug in the formula
Taxable income =$1,000+$2,050+$750
Taxable income=$3,800
Therefore on his current year tax return the amount of his taxable income will be $3,800
Bricks and Mortar Manufacturing produces building materials for local construction contractors. BMM has two production departments (Mixing and Baking) and two service departments (Maintenance and Cleaning). Maintenance costs are allocated based on machine hours used. Cleaning costs are allocated based on square feet of floor space.
The following data is available for BMM:
Mixing:
600 square feet of floor space,
200 machine hours used
Baking:
450 square feet of floor space,
500 machine hours used
Maintenance costs incurred: $4,900
Cleaning costs incurred: $2,300
How much of the Cleaning costs should be allocated to the Baking department?
Answer:
Cleaning costs of baking department = $986 (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Mixing: department = 600 square feet of floor
Mixing: department = 200 machine hours used
Baking department = 450 square feet of floor
Baking department = 500 machine hours used
Maintenance costs = $4,900
Cleaning costs = $2,300
Find:
Cleaning costs of baking department
Computation:
Cleaning costs of baking department = [Baking department area / Total area]Cleaning costs
Cleaning costs of baking department = [450 / (450 + 600)]2,300
Cleaning costs of baking department = [0.4286]2,300
Cleaning costs of baking department = 985.78
Cleaning costs of baking department = $986 (Approx)
Which pricing strategy has the advantage of being simple to calculate but has the disadvantage of ignoring demand and competitive conditions
Answer: cost based pricing
Explanation:
Cost-based pricing is when the pricing is based on the production cost, the manufacturing cost and also the distribution cost.
The price of such good or service will be derived when a fraction of the manufacturing costs is added to the selling price. This sum will be required to generate the profit for the product.
Even though it is easy to calculate, it ignores demand and competitive conditions.
Suppose the minimum possible price of constructing homes is $50 per square foot. As a result of a sharp drop in the demand for home construction, the equilibrium price of home construction falls to $40 per square foot. Assuming the home construction industry is perfectly competitive and there are no specialized inputs, firms will:
Answer:
some firms will exit the industry
Explanation:
if the minimum possible price of constructing homes = $50 per square foot, it means that the marginal cost of building a square foot is $50. If the selling price is less than the marginal cost, then some firms will inevitably have to exit the industry. No firm can remain at an industry when its marginal costs are higher than its marginal revenue.
As supply lowers, the equilibrium price should increase, and some firms might return to the industry.
Aaker Corporation, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $168 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 9,550 Units sold 8,150 Units in ending inventory 1,400 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $35 Direct labor $66 Variable manufacturing overhead $16 Variable selling and administrative $16 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $229,200 Fixed selling and administrative $138,550 What is the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing
Answer:
Unitary production cost= $141
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units produced 9,550
Direct materials $35
Direct labor $66
Variable manufacturing overhead $16
Fixed manufacturing overhead= $229,200
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed manufacturing overhead:
unitary fixed manufacturing overhead= 229,200/9,550
unitary fixed manufacturing overhead= $24
Unitary production cost= 35 + 66 + 16 + 24
Unitary production cost= $141
Some investment projects require that a company increase its working capital. Under the net present value method, the investment and eventual recovery of working capital should be treated as:
Answer:
Both an initial cash outflow and future cash inflow
Explanation:
Net value cash flow is the different cash flows that happens at different times. It takes into account the initial cash outflow or capital investment and the amount that it would be getting in the future that is the future cash inflow.
The net present value gives us a difference between cash inflows and cash outflows in their present values over a period of time.
Nexus Industries uses a standard costing system to apply manufacturing costs to its production process. In May, Nexus anticipated producing units with fixed manufacturing overhead costs allocated at per direct labor hour with a standard of direct labor hours per unit. In May, actual production was units and actual fixed manufacturing overhead costs were . What was Nexus' fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance in May?
Answer:
$33,700 (Favorable)
Explanation:
Note: Figures are not inputted. The missing figures have been figured out as below.
"Nexus industries uses a standard costing system to apply manufacturing costs to its production process. In May nexus anticipated 2700 units with fixed manufacturing overhead costs allocated at $8.40 per direct labor hour with a standard of 2.5 direct labor hours per unit. In May, actual production was 3400 units and actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost were $23000. What was nexus fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance in May?"
Solution:
Budgeted fixed overhead costs = Units * Direct labor cost * Standard Direct Labor hours per unit
= 2,700 units * $8.40 * 2.5
= 2,700 units * 21
= $56,700
Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance = Actual fixed overhead cost - Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs
When Actual fixed overhead = $23,000 , Budgeted fixed overhead costs = $56,700
Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance = $23,000 - $56,700
= $33,700 (Favorable) .
Ottawa, Inc. provides the following data: 2019 2018 Cash Accounts Receivable, Net Merchandise Inventory Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net Total Assets For the year ending December 31, 2019: Net Credit Sales Cost of Goods Sold () Gross Profit Calculate the days' sales in inventory for 2019. (Use 365 days for any calculations. Round any intermediate calculations and your final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
days sales in inventory = 85.88 days
Explanation:
The numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:
"Ottawa, Inc. provides the following data: 2019 2018 Cash $23,000 $22,000 Accounts Receivable, Net 37,000 37,000 Merchandise Inventory 55,000 25,000 Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net 127,000 96,000 Total Assets $242,000 $180,000 For the year ending December 31, 2019: Net Credit Sales $300,000 Cost of Goods Sold (170,000) Gross Profit $130,000"
first we must determine the inventory turnover ratio:
inventory turnover ratio = COGS / average inventory
average inventory = ($55,000 + $25,000) / 2 = $40,000
COGS = $170,000
inventory turnover ratio = $170,000 / $40,000 = 4.25
days sales in inventory = 365 / inventory turnover ratio = 365 / 4.25 = 85.88 days

What is the cost of equity for the TMB Corporation based on the following information? Risk premium = 5% Risk free rate = 4% TMB beta: 1.50
Answer:
11.50%
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of equity is shown below:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 4% + 1.5 × 5%
= 4% + 7.5%
= 11.50%
The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as the market risk premium and the same is applied.
Parwin Corporation plans to sell 43,000 units during August. If the company has 18,000 units on hand at the start of the month, and plans to have 19,000 units on hand at the end of the month, how many units must be produced during the month
Answer:
Production= 44,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 43,000
Beginning inventory= 18,000 units
Desired ending inventory= 19,000 units
To calculate the production for the period, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 43,000 + 19,000 - 18,000
Production= 44,000 units
A stock is selling at $40, a 3-month put at $50 is selling for $11, a 3-month call at $50 is selling for $1, and the risk-free rate is 6%.How much, if anything, can be made on an arbitrage?
Answer:
$0.745
Explanation:
GIven that
Current stock price [tex]S_o[/tex] = $40
strike price X = $50
time to expiry of option = 3 - month
put price option [tex]P _o[/tex] = $11
call price option [tex]C_o[/tex] = $1
and the risk-free rate r = 6%
The amount that can be made on the arbitrage can be evaluated as a function of the Put-call parity.
i.e For parity ;
[tex]C_o + (X \times e^{-rt} ) = P_o + S_o[/tex]
[tex]1 + (50 \times e^{-(0.06 \times 0.25} ) = 11 + 40[/tex]
[tex]1 + (50 \times 0.9851 ) = 51[/tex]
[tex]1 + (49.255 ) = 51[/tex]
50.255 = 51
the difference in both values above illustrates that there is no parity taking place and the arbitrage estimation here = 51 - 50.255 = $0.745
A manufacturer of microwaves has discovered that female shoppers have little value for microwaves and attribute almost no extra value to an auto-defrost feature. Male shoppers generally value microwaves more than women do and attribute greater value to the auto-defrost feature. There is little additional cost to incorporating an auto-defrost feature. Since men and women cannot be charged different prices for the same product, the manufacturer is considering introducing two different models. The manufacturer has determined that men value a simple microwave at $82 and one with auto-defrost at $148, while women value a simple microwave at $66 and one with auto-defrost at $82.
Suppose the manufacturer is considering three pricing strategies:
1. Market a single microwave, with auto-defrost, at $69, to both men and women.
2. Market a single microwave, with auto-defrost, at $121, to only women.
3. Market a simple microwave to men, at $52. Market a microwave, with auto-defrost, to women at $103.
For simplicity, assume there is only 1 man and 1 woman and that if the price of a microwave is equal to an individual's willingness to pay, the individual will purchase the microwave.
Use the following table to indicate the revenue from men, the revenue from women, and the total revenue from each strategy.

Suppose that, instead of one man and one woman, the market for this microwave consisted entirely of men. For simplicity, you can assume this means that there are two men, and no women. Under these conditions, pricing strategy_____would maximize revenue for the manufacturer.
Answer:
For simplicity, assume there is only 1 man and 1 woman and that if the price of a microwave is equal to an individual's willingness to pay, the individual will purchase the microwave.
If the number of male and female buyers is the same, then the best pricing strategy is to offer 2 different microwaves (option 3). One simple and cheap microwave for women and one with auto-defrost for men.Strategy Revenue Revenue Total Revenue

Suppose marginal cost is constant and equal to 50 and marginal revenue equals 100 - 10Q. A profit-maximizing monopolist will set quantity equal to:
Answer: 5
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the marginal cost is constant and equal to 50 and marginal revenue equals 100 - 10Q.
For a profit-maximizing monopolist, we should note that the marginal revenue will be equated to the marginal cost. Therefore:
100 - 10Q = 50
100 - 50 = 10Q
50 = 10Q
Q = 50/10
Q = 5
Therefore, a profit-maximizing monopolist will set quantity equal to 5.
Caddie Manufacturing has a target debt-equity ratio of .35. Its cost of equity is 12 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 6 percent. If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
10.12%
Explanation:
The computation of the WACC is shown below:
= Cost of debt × (1 - tax rate) × weight of debt + cost of equity × weight of equity
= 6% × (1 - 0.21) × 0.35 ÷ 1.35 + 12% × 1 ÷ 1.35
= 1.23% + 8.89%
= 10.12%
We simply multiplied the capital structure with each of its weight so that the WACC could come and the same is to be considered
Gilbert City had the following transactions involving resource inflows into its general fund for the year ended June 30, 20X8:
1. The general fund levied $2,200,000 of property taxes in July 20X7. The city estimated that 2 percent of the levy would be uncollectible and that $180,000 of the levy would not be collected until after August 31, 20X8.
2. On April 1, 20X8, the general fund received $50,000 repayment of an advance made to the internal service fund. Interest on the advance of $1,500 also was received.
3. During the year ended June 30, 20X8, the general fund received $2,000,000 of the property taxes levied in transaction (1).
4. The general fund received $265,000 in grant monies from the state to be used solely to acquire computer equipment. During March 20X8, the general fund acquired computer equipment using $240,000 of the grant. The city has not yet determined the use of the remainder of the grant.
5. During the year ended June 30, 20X8, the general fund received $135,000 from the state as its portion of the sales tax. At June 30, 20X8, the state owed the general fund an additional $22,000 of sales taxes. The general fund does not expect to have the $22,000 available until early August 20X8.
6. In July 20X7, the general fund borrowed $810,000 from a local bank using the property tax levy as collateral. The loan was repaid in September 20X7 with the proceeds from property tax collections.
7. In February 20X8, a terminated debt service fund transferred $30,000 to the general fund. The $30,000 represented excess resources left in the debt service fund after a general long-term debt obligation had been paid in full.
8. On July 1, 20X7, the general fund estimated that it would receive $78,000 from the sale of liquor licenses during the fiscal year ended June 30, 20X8. For the year ended June 30, 20X8, $66,000 had been received from liquor license sales.
9. The general fund received $19,000 in October 20X7 from one of the city’s special revenue funds. The amount received represented a reimbursement for an expenditure of the special revenue fund that the city’s general fund paid.
10. In July 20X7, the general fund collected $81,000 of delinquent property taxes that had been classified as delinquent on June 30, 20X7. In the entry to record the property tax levy in July 20X6, the general fund estimated that it would collect all property tax revenues by July 31, 20X7.

1. July 20X7 Property Taxes $2,200,000
2. Apr. 1, 2018 Interest on Advance 1,500
4. 2018 Grant Monies 265,000
5. June 30 Sales Tax 135,000
5. June 30 Additional Sales Taxes 22,000
6. July 20X7 Liquor Licenses 78,000
Total Revenue $2,701,500
Explanation:
Gilbert City, like other government bodies, reports its transactions on the accrual basis. For Gilbert City, this implies that the city will report all revenues receivable, whether actually received or not. And the city only reports the revenues that pertain to the current fiscal period in the current period. Gilbert City's revenues attributed to past and future years do not form part of the revenue for the current period. Gilbert City's reporting basis is in line with the accrual concept and the matching principle of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
You purchased 1,150 shares of stock in Natural Chicken Wings, Inc., at a price of $43.46 per share. Since you purchased the stock, you have received dividends of $1.01 per share. Today, you sold your stock at a price of $46.71 per share. What was your total percentage return on this investment?
Answer:
9.80%
Explanation:
1,150 shares of stock in Natural chicken wings incorporation was purchased at a price of $43.46 per share
The dividend received is $1.01 per share
Today the stock is sold at a price of $46.71
Therefore, the total percentage return on this investment can be calculated as follows
= ($46.71-$43.46+$1.01/$43.46) × 100
= $4.26/$43.46 × 100
= 0.0980× 100
= 9.80%
Hence the total percentage return on this investment is 9.80%

= $5,840
Pensacola Inc. exchanged old equipment for new equipment in two exchange transactions. Each transaction has commercial substance.
Old Equipment Cash
Book Value Fair Value Received
Equipment A $ 74,000 $ 81,300 $ 11,300
Equipment B $ 61,600 $ 54,800 $ 10,300
For Equipment B, Pensacola would record a gain/(loss) of:________.
a. $5,300
b. $(6,800)
c. $(7,800)
d. none of these answer choices are correct
Answer:
b. $(6,800)
Explanation:
The computation of the gain or loss for the equipment B is shown below:
= Fair value - book value
where,
Fair value = $54,800
And, the book value = $61,600
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the gain or loss i.e. to be recorded is
= $54,800 - $61,600
= $6,800 loss
as the fair value is less than the book value so the loss of $6,800 should be recorded
