Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$13,250

Explanation:

Current liabilities can be defined as the amount of money incurred by a company. This debt must be repaid back within a period of one year.

From the question above a company reported the following information on its classified balance sheet at December 31.

Account payable= $4,690

Account receivable= $9,540

Cash= $25,390

Common stock= $91,900

Equipment= $51,400

Inventory= $33,100

Notes payable= $2,690

Retained earnings= $14,280

Wages payable= $5,870

The amount of current liabilities can be calculated by adding up the different debts incurred by the company

Account payable+Notes payable+ wages payable

= $4,690+$2,690+$5,870

= $13,250

Hence the amount of current liabilities recorded on the classified balance sheet is $13,250

Victor Rumsfeld Inc.'s dividend policy is under review by its board. Its projected capital budget is $2,000,000, its target capital structure is 60% debt and 40% equity, and its forecasted net income is $300,000. If the company follows a residual dividend policy, what total dividends, if any, will it pay out? Select the correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

The multiple choices are

a.  $240,000

b. $228,000

c. $216,600

d.$205,770

e. $0

The correct option is E,$0

Explanation:

The funding required from equity is 40% of the projected capital budget of $2000,000 which is expected to be from the profit attributable to stockholders since new issue of shares is not contemplated.

In other words, dividends payable to shareholders is the net income less their counter funding of the project which is computed below:

residual dividends=net income-(equity%*capital outlay)

residual dividends=$300,000-(40%*$2000,000)

                               =$300,000-$800,000=$0

In essence the $300,000 is not even enough as funds expected from equity less alone paying excess as dividend

Answers

Answer:

a. What are the total expected cash collections for the year under this revised budget?

65 + 236.25 + 78.75 + 367.5 + 122.5 + 551.25 + 183.75 + 367.5 = 1,972.5 x $1,000 = $1,972,500

b. What is the total required production for the year under this revised budget?

52.5 + 80.5 + 94.5 + 76 = 303.5 x 1,000 = 303,500 units

c. What is the total cost of raw materials to be purchased for the year under this revised budget?

237 + 367.5 + 507.5 + 360 = 1,472 x 1,000 = 1,472,000 pounds x $0.80 = $1,177,600

d. What are the total expected cash disbursements for raw materials for the year under this revised budget?

195.26 + 252.24 + 361.2 + 330.4 = 1,139.1 x $1,000 = $1,139,100  

e. After seeing this revised budget, the production manager cautioned that due to the current production constraint, a complex milling machine, the plant can produce no more than 80,000 units in any one quarter. Is this a potential problem?

No, since total budgeted sales for the year are 303,500 units, which divided by 4 quarters = 75,875 units per quarter. All you need to do is increase quarter 1 production by 15,000 units, and that would satisfy quarters 2 and 3 needs.

Answers

Answer: Such flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only non-profit ​entities, such as the federal​ government, can cover the risks

Explanation:

One reason that can make the federal ggovernment to bail out farmers in the flood prone areas of the​ country will be in a situation whereby the flooding is not flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only non-profit ​entities, such as the federal​ government, can cover the risks.

In this situation since the risk associated with the flooding can't be diversified, this can lead to profit making entities to run from bailing out the farmers because they'll believe there's nothing to gain for them so it might be left for the government to take charge and help out.

For the next 2 questions, use the financials of Acme Corporation. After adjusting revenue for accounts receivable and deferred revenue, how much cash did Acme generate from revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2017

Answers

Answer: B. $892.1 million

Explanation:

The Revenue was $939,393 million

When calculating how much cash was generated any increase to the Accounts Receivables is removed from the revenue because it signifies that more sales were made on credit and so have not given the business cash yet.

Any increase in Deferred Revenue must be added because this is Cash that has been given to the business but for accrual purposes cannot be recognized yet. Bottomline however, the Cash has been received.

Increase in Receivables = 309,196 - 221,504

= $87,692 million

Increase in Deferred Revenue= 374,730 - 334,358

= $40,372 million

The Cash generated is therefore;

= 939,393 - 87,692 + 40,372

= $892,073

= $892.1 million

You just made the last monthly payment on a 30 year mortgage -- the house is yours! In your joyous moment, you calculate how much you made in payments over those 30 years, and it is $647,514! If your interest rate was an APR of 6%, and you made equal monthly payments, how much did you originally borrow for this house

Answers

Answer:

$112,807

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of money you borrowed, you have to use the formula to calculate the present value:

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV= pressent value

FV= future value= 647,514

r= rate= 6%

n= number of periods of time= 30

PV=647,514/(1+0.06)^30

PV=647,514/(1.06)^30

PV=647,514/5.74

PV=112,807

According to this, you originally borrowed $112,807 for this house.

Business Calculators Inc. will pay an annual dividend of $2.25 per share next year. The company just announced that future dividends will be increasing by 0.75 percent annually. How much are you willing to pay for one share of this stock if you require a rate of return of 12.25 percent?

Answers

Answer: $19.57

Explanation:

You should be willing to pay for the what the stock is valued at the moment and you can use the Gordon Growth Model to value this stock.

Formula is,

Vs = D1/ Re - g

Vs = Value of stock

D1 = the next dividend

Re = Required Return

g = growth rate

Value of stock is,

= 2.25 / ( 12.25% - 0.75%)

= $19.565

= $19.57

Answers

Answer:

Using the high-low method of cost estimation, total fixed costs are $47,020  

Explanation:

Cost at highest level of activity = $82,000.00

Cost at Lowest level of activity = $59,000.00

Highest level of activity = 3,300

Lowest Level of activity = 1,130

Variable cost per unit = $(82,000 - 59,000) ÷ (3,300 -1,130)  

Variable cost per unit = $23,000 ÷ 2,170  

Variable cost per unit = $10.60  

Fixed Costs = $82,000 - (3,300 × 10.60)  

Fixed Costs = $47,020

b. Calculate the overhead variance for the year.

Answers

Answer:

Adjusted cost of goods sold =$ 1,888,000

Overhead variance = 2,000  favorable

Explanation:

Overhead variance:

is the difference between the absorbed overhead and the actual overhead.

Absorbed overhead = OAR × direct labor cost

                                 = 80% × 532,000 = $425,600

Over absorbed overhead = absorbed overhead - Actual overhead

                              = 425,600 - 423,600 = 2,000  over-absorbed

Overhead variance = 2,000  favorable

Adjusted cost of goods sold

= cost of goods sold - over absorbed overheads

= 1,890,000 - 2,000 =$ 1,888,000

                   

10. Define transfer pricing. Describe at least two methods of defending transfer prices if they are challenged by tax authorities. How are transfer prices used in managing multinational tax exposures

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

(A) What is Transfer Pricing?

This is an accounting practice that sets prices for goods and services bought and sold between related entities.

(B) Two methods of defending transfer prices if they are challenged by tax authorities:

1. Treating the related or commonly controlled entities as if they are 2 independent entities.

2. Claiming that services rendered between the 2 related entities could not be priced.

(C) How are transfer prices used in managing multinational tax exposures?

- Transfer Prices help reduce import and export duties. They are used to manage multinational tax exposures by exporting or shipping the goods at a low transfer price, to subsidiaries or related entities in countries with high tariff rates.

- It reduces income taxes and corporate taxes in high tax countries, by overpricing goods that are sold/transferred to subsidiaries in countries with low tax rate.

MGM Resorts Incorporated is expected to grow at an exceptionally high rate over the next 2 years due to the success of Macau casino. Growth in dividends is expected to be 20% for the next 2 years before reverted back to a constant rate of 4% that is expected to continue indefinitely. If MGM Resorts’ paid a $1.20 dividend yesterday (D0=$1.20) and the stock is valued according to a required rate of return of 14%, what is the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today?

Answers

Answer:

The value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today will be $16.42

Explanation:

In order to calculate the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today we would have to calculate the following steps:

Step-1, Dividend for the next 2 years

Dividend per share in Year 0 (D0) = $1.20 per share

Dividend per share in Year 1 (D1) = $1.4400 per share [$1.20 x 120%]

Dividend per share in Year 2 (D2) = $1.7280 per share [$1.4400 x 120%]

Step-2, Share Price in Year 2

Dividend Growth Rate after Year 2 (g) = 4.00% per year

Required Rate of Return (Ke) = 14.00%

Share Price in Year 2 (P2) = D2(1 + g) / (Ke – g)

= $1.7280(1 + 0.04) / (0.14 – 0.04)

= $1.7971 / 0.10

= $17.97 per share

Step-3, The Current Stock Price

As per Dividend Discount Model, Current Stock Price the aggregate of the Present Value of the future dividend payments and the present value the share price in year 2

Year      Cash flow ($)        PVF at 14.00%           Present Value of cash flows ($)

                                                                             [Cash flows x PVF]

1            1.4400                   0.877193                           1.26

2           1.7280                  0.769468                          1.33

Urban Bloom, Inc.'s books show an ending cash balance of $16,000 before preparing the bank reconciliation. Given the bank reconciliation shows outstanding checks of $4,200, deposits in transit of $3,200, NSF check of $220, and interest earned on the bank account of $130, the company's up-to-date ending cash balance equals:

Answers

Answer:

$15,910

Explanation:

Calculation for Urban Bloom, Inc.'s company's up-to-date ending cash balance

Using this formula

Up-to-date ending cash balance = Ending cash balance per books + Interest received from bank - NSF check

Hence:

=16,000+130-220

=15,910

Therefore the company's up-to-date ending cash balance equals: $15,910

Assume there are 1000 homes in a flood zone in an area in which sea levels are rising. An additional 1000 homes are above the flood zone and at less risk. A levee could be built to prevent the rise in sea level from affecting the homes. It is worth $20,000 per home in the flood zone to have the levee built. It is worth $5,000 per home not in the flood zone to have the levee built. The levee costs $22,000,000 to build. Which of these makes the most economic sense?
A. The government should leave this to the free market.
B. The free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable. So the government may have to intervene and force homeowners to pay through taxes to fund the levee as the benefits exceed the costs.
C. The free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable. However the benefits do not exceed the costs anyway so there is no need for the government to intervene.
D. The free market will have some difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival. However it is excludable. So there is only a partial argument for government intervention here.

Answers

Answer: The free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable. So the government may have to intervene and force homeowners to pay through taxes to fund the levee as the benefits exceed the costs.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that if there are 1000 homes in a flood zone in an area whereby the sea levels are rising and there's an additional 1000 homes that are above the flood zone and are at less risk. Since the levee costs $22,000,000 to build, the best thing to do economic sense will be that the free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable.

It should be noted that in a free market, decisions are made by individuals through price signals and forces of demand and supply. Therefore since this is a public good as it is non rival and non excludeable, there will be need for the intervention of the government in order to collect taxes from the homeowners.

1. If you and your BSG team decided to explore the possibility of diversification beyond the athletic shoe market, what factors would you consider to be positive factors in selecting a diversification target and why; i.e. what positive elements would you be looking for in making your decision? 2. What factors would discourage you from pursuing a diversification strategy with another firm and why?

Answers

Answer: provided in the explanation section

Explanation:

The process of diversification has to do with connecting to new business opportunity with the existing business. This business startegy helps the company to enter a new area of the market in which it is not currently working. The risk associated with it can or may not provide extraordinary benefits.

In these cases, there are positive factors that encourage diversification-

Other companies will handle the losses in the current company.

Unpleasant surprises can be offset by market diversification.

The resources used under these can be used in sports shoe styling in game simulation companies such as background designers, creative team and so on.

The customer base would be more like that, thereby reducing the attempt of the company to shape a whole new customer base.

If the gaming business starts to decline at any time, all its resources can be used in this new business.

There are always, however, factors which prevent such diversifications.

This can restrict business growth opportunities in the gaming sector as new companies can get investment that is needed to be more competitive.

More new skilled employees, equipment and resources will be needed as the production requires a whole new set of know-how and equipment.

A poorly managed diversification will cause existing businesses to suffer.

As this is a broad horizontal diversification, they can not respond with the same speed to market changes.

Orange Corporation acquired new office furniture on August 15, 2018, for $130,000. Orange does not elect immediate expensing under § 179. Orange claims any available additional first-year depreciation. If required, round your answer to the nearest dollar.
a. Determine Orange's cost recovery for 2018
The office furniture is classified as a seven-year class of property for MACRS. If bonus depreciation is elected, Orange's deduction is
b. Determine Orange's cost recovery for 2018 if Orange decided to only use $52,000 of bonus depreciation and normal MACRS on the balance of the acquisition cost.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a) The asset is purchased in 2018.

In 2018, bonus depreciation % has been increased from 50% to 100%. If bonus depreciation is elected Orange Corporation can deduct 100% of Purchase cost of $130,000.

The office furniture is classified as seven year class of property for MACRs. If bonus depreciation is elected Orange's deduction is $130,000

= $130,000

b) if Orange decides to use only $52,000 of bonus depreciation, it can claim depreciation (MACRS) on balance amount of acquisition cost.

Cost Recovery for 2018:

Bonus depreciation = $52,000

MACRS Depreciation [($130,000 - $52,000) * 14.29%]= $11,146.20

Hence, Cost Recovery for 2018 = Bonus depreciation + MACRS Depreciation

= $52,000 + $11,146.20  

= $63,146 (rounded off to nearest dollar)

What does this tell you about the risk of McKnight making a​ loss? What are the most likely reasons for this risk to​ increase?

Answers

Answer:

1. Compute the contribution margin percentage.

40%

2. Compute the selling price if variable costs are ​$16 per unit.

$26.67

3. Suppose 65 comma 000 units are sold. Compute the margin of safety in units and dollars.

margin of safety in $ = $633,550margin of safety in % = 36.55%

4. What does this tell you about the risk of McKnight making a​ loss? What are the most likely reasons for this risk to​ increase?

Since the contribution margin is relatively high, this means that the production costs are relatively low (compared to selling price). The associated risks may come from high leverage, e.g. machinery purchased on credit that results in high interest expense. For the most part, having a high contribution margin is generally very good, just ask Apple.

Explanation:

break even point is $ = $1,100,000 (= break even point units x selling price)

fixed costs = $660,000

contribution margin % = (total sales - total variable costs) / total sales

total variable costs = $1,100,000 - $660,000 = $440,000

contribution margin % =  ($1,100,000 - $660,000) / $1,100,000 = 40%

variable costs = $16 per unit

0.4 = (x - $16) / x

0.4x = x - $16

$16 = 0.6x

x = $26.67

65,000 x $26.67 = $1,733,550

margin of safety in $ = $1,733,550 - $1,100,000 = $633,550

margin of safety in % = $633,550 / $1,733,550 = 36.55%

A rich donor gives a hospital $ 960 comma 000 one year from today. Each year after​ that, the hospital will receive a payment 5 ​% larger than the previous​ payment, with the last payment occurring in ten​ years' time. What is the present value​ (PV) of this​ donation, given that the interest rate is 9 ​%?

Answers

Answer:

$7,560,000

Explanation:

To solve this problem, the Present Value (PV) of a growing annuity formula is used.

The Present Value of a growing annuity is the current value of a series of payments which grows or diminishes at a constant rate each period.

The formula below represents the PV of a growing annuity:

[tex]PV=PMT *\frac{(1-(1+g)^{n}*(1+i)^{-n}) }{i-g}[/tex],  ............................................. (i)

where,

PV = Present Value = ?

PMT = Periodic Payment = $960,000

i = Interest Rate = 9% = 0.09

g = Growth Rate = 5% = 0.05

n = Number of periods = 10 years

Substituting these values in equation (i), we have

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1+0.05)^{10}*(1+0.09)^{-10} }{0.09-0.05}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1.05^{10})*(1.09)^{-10}) }{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1.63*0.42))}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-0.685)}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{0.315}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*7.875[/tex]

[tex]PV=$7,560,000[/tex]

PV = $7,560,000

Ronald, Inc. had the following balances and transactions during 2017: What is the amount of the company's Merchandise Inventory, as disclosed in the December 31, 2017 balance sheet, using the periodic weighted-average inventory costing method

Answers

Answer: $707

Explanation:

Using the Periodic System means that inventory is updated per period. This means that using the Weighted Average method, Ending Inventory prices will be calculated on the basis of all inventory in the period.

Weighted Average Method aims to ascribe a single price to all the inventory units sold by a company and so divides the entire cost by the number of units.

Number of Units bought in 2017,

Opening Balance = 12 units

June 10 = 24 units.

= 12 + 24

= 36 units.

Cost of the the 36 units

= (12 * 91) + (24 * 87)

= $3,180

Weighted Average Cost,

= 3,180/36

= $88.33

During the year they sold 28 units (10 + 18) meaning that 8 units (36 - 28) were left.

The closing Inventory on the 12/31/2020 therefore is,

= 8 * 88.33

= $706.66

= $707

3. Assume that the dividend from Part B will be paid out one year from today. After the initial dividend from part B is paid, the dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 4% per year. Investors require a 10% return on their investment, what is the current share price?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of Earnings Before Interest and taxes, Taxable income and Net income is shown below:-

Earnings Before Interest = Revenue from sales - Cost of goods sold - Depreciation

= $70,000 - $35,000 - $16,000

= $19,000

Taxable Income = Earnings Before Interest - Interest paid

= $19,000 - $450

= $18,550

Net Income = Taxable Income - Taxes

= $18,550 - ($18,550 × 34%)

= $18,550 - $6,307

= $12,243

2. The computation of dividend per share is shown below:-

Dividend per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares outstanding

= $12,243 ÷ 4,000 million

= $3.06

3. The computation of current share price is shown below:-

Current share price = Current dividend ÷ (Expected return - Growth rate)

= $3.06 ÷ (10% - 4%)

= $3.06 ÷ 6%

= $51

Therefore we have applied the above formula.

Cost of Goods Available $44,240

less cost of goods sold ($33,900)

Ending Inventory          $10,340

Explanation:

a) Ending inventory represents the value of goods available for sale and held by a company at the end of an accounting period.   It is calculated as follows:  Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases - Cost of Goods Sold (or COGS) = Ending Inventory.  The value of goods available for sale at the end of the accounting period is important in reporting the financial status of any trading or producing company.

b) The cost of goods available for sale includes the beginning inventory, the net purchases of inventory, and the freight-in during the period.
