Answer:
This exception is usually justified on the basis of either promissory estoppel or public policy.
Explanation:
There are many Judicial devices and one of them is the Estoppel. In common law, there are legal systems which allow a court to use this device to prevent a person (corporate or individual) from making pronouncements or from defecting on their promise.
With regard to public policy, courts in recent cases have reached conclusions that pledges are legally enforceable regardless of whether or not the recipient of the promise has incurred liabilities based on the pledge, and that, the only way to ensure compliance with requirements of the law, a test of public policy is to ensure the promise is made good.
This thought holds true in Ohio where for example, a pledge has the same weight as a promissory note.
According to precedence established in Pennsylvania, any written promise can be enforced regardless of whether or not the pledger intends to be legally bound.

Gena Manufacturing Company has a fixed cost of $259,000 for the production of tubes. Estimated sales are 153,400 units. A before tax profit of $126,034 is desired by the controller. If the tubes sell for $22 each, what unit contribution margin is required to attain the profit target?
Answer:
$2.51
Explanation:
Gena Manufacturing Company calculation for contribution margin unit
Using this formula
Fixed cost + Tax profit/Estimated sales units
Let plug in the formula
Where:
Fixed cost =$259,000
Tax profit=$126,034
Estimated sales units=153,400
Hence:
(259,000 + 126,034) / 153,400
=$385,034/153,400
= $2.51
Therefore the contribution margin that is required to attain the profit target will be $2.51
A firm's average cost increases as it increases its output by expanding its plant and hiring additional workers (its only inputs to production). The firm's owner blames the increase in per-unit costs on the law of diminishing marginal productivity. The owner's reasoning is: A. correct because some inputs are fixed in the long run. B. incorrect because economies of scale are present. C. correct because marginal productivity must decrease in the short run. D. incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example.
Answer: D. incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example.
Explanation: While marginal productivity describes the extra output, or return, or profit gotten per unit by benefits from the production inputs of a company, the law of diminishing marginal productivity is one that recognizes that the quantity of all inputs of production cannot be changed at one time. The owner's reasoning of attributing the increase in per-unit costs on the law of diminishing marginal productivity is incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example. Marginal productivity eventually declines because some inputs are fixed, but however, in the long run where no inputs are fixed, the law does not apply.
You are upgrading to better production equipment for your firm's only product. The new equipment will allow you to make more of your product in the same amount of time. Thus, you forecast that total sales will increase next year by 16 % over the current amount of 102 comma 000 units. If your sales price is $ 19 per unit, what are the incremental revenues next year from the upgrade?
Answer:
$310,080
Explanation:
Incremental revenue refers to the additional revenue generated by a certain project or activity. In this case, your sales should increase by 16% from 102,000 units to 118,320 units. Total revenue will increase from $1,938,000 (= 102,000 x $19) to $2,248,080 (= 118,320 x $19).
The incremental revenue = $2,248,080 - $1,938,000 = $310,080

Under the expectations theory, what yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 1- and 2-year zeros at the end of the year? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b-2. Is the market's expectation of the return on the 3-year bond greater or less than yours? Greater Less rev: 09_14_2018_QC_CS-134332
Answer:
Explanation:
a.) What do you expect the rate of return to be over the coming year on a 3-year zero-coupon bond? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
Expect the rate of return to be over the coming year on a 3-year zero-coupon bond = 6.1%
b) Under the expectations theory, what yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 1- and 2-year zeros at the end of the year?(Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response
Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 1-year at the end of the year = (1+5.1%)^2/(1+4.1%) - 1 = 6.11%
Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 1-year at the end of the year = 6.11%
Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 2-year at the end of the year = ((1+6.1%)^3/(1+4.1%))^(1/2) - 1
= 7.11%
Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 2-year at the end of the year = 7.11%
2b) Is the market's expectation of the return on the 3-year bond greater or less than yours?

The City Transit Authority (CTA) is trying to decide between railcars manufactured by French Corp and Japan Rail Car. The French Corp cars cost more to buy initially, but they are expected to last for 10 years. The Japan Rail Car cars are cheaper initially, but they will wear out in 6 years. The cash flows related to each of the choices are presented below. If the CTA’s cost of capital is 8 percent, which type of car should the CTA buy? Support your answer.
Answer: The Japan Rail Car should be purchased
Explanation:
To find the answer we can use the Net Present Cost. By calculating the total net present value of the total costs involved in both projects, the cheaper alternative can then be chosen.
The cash-flows for both projects are constant so an annuity can be used to calculate them.
Please refer to the annuity table attached.
The French Corp Car
It will cost $275,000 originally and then $10,000 every year after that. The cost of capital is 8%. The goal is to find the present value of all the cost. That can be done by,
= (275,000) + PV of Annuity of $10,000 for 10 year and cost of capital 8% p.a. (look at the table for the intersection of 10 years and 8%)
= 275,000 + 10,000 (6.710)
= 275,000 + 67,100
= $342,100
The Japan Rail Car
It will cost $195,000 originally and then $15,000 every year after that. The cost of capital is 8%. Using the same method,
= (195,000) + PV of Annuity of $15,000 for 6 year and cost of capital 8% p.a. (look at the table for the intersection of 6 years and 8%)
= 195,000 + 15,000(4.623)
=195,000 + 69,345
= $264,345
The Japan Rail Car costs less in terms of total cost over its period of operation and so should be the one purchased by the CTA.

The W.C. Pruett Corp. has $200,000 of interest-bearing debt outstanding, and it pays an annual interest rate of 11%. In addition, it has $700,000 of common stock on its balance sheet. It finances with only debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock. Its annual sales are $1 million, its average tax rate is 35%, and its profit margin is 8%. What are its TIE ratio and its return on invested capital (ROIC)? Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
a. Times Interest Earned (TIE) Ratio = 6.59 times
b. Return on invested capital (ROIC) = 10.48%
Explanation:
To estimate these, we have to first calculate the following:
Interest expenses = $200,000 * 11% = $22,000
Net income = Profit margin * Annual sales = 8% * $1,000,000 = $80,000
Income before tax = Net income / (1 - Average tax rate) = $80,000 / (1 - 35%) = 123,076.92
Tax = Income before tax * Tax rate = $123,076.92 * 35% = $43,076.92
Earning before interest and tax (EBIT) = Net income + Interest expenses + Tax = $80,000 + $22,000 + $43,076.92 = $145,076.92
Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) = EBIT * (1 - Average tax rate) = $145,076.92 * (1 - 35%) = $94,300
Invested capital = Common stock + Interest-bearing debt outstanding = $200,000 + $700,000 = $900,000
a. What are its TIE ratio?
Times Interest Earned (TIE) Ratio = EBIT / Interest expenses = $145,076.92 / $22,000 = 6.59 times
This indicates that the income of the W.C. Pruett Corp. is 6.59 times greater than its annual interest expense.
b. What are its return on invested capital (ROIC)?
ROIC = NOPAT / Invested capital = $94,300 / $900,000 = 0.1048, or 10.48%
Andrea Apple opened Apple Photography on January 1 of the current year. During January, the following transactions occurred and were recorded in the company's books:
1. Andrea invested $13,500 cash in the business.
2. Andrea contributed $20,000 of photography equipment to the business.
3. The company paid $2,100 cash for an insurance policy covering the next 24 months.
4. The company received $5,700 cash for services provided during January.
5. The company purchased $6,200 of office equipment on credit.
6. The company provided $2,750 of services to customers on account.
7. The company paid cash of $1,500 for monthly rent.
8. The company paid $3,100 on the office equipment purchased in transaction #5 above.
9. Paid $275 cash for January utilities.
Based on this information, the balance in the A. Apple, Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity at the end of the month would be:
A. $31,400.
B. $39,200.
C. $31,150.
D. $40,175.
E. $30,875.
Answer: D. $40,175
Explanation:
The balance in the Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity will include the Capital contributions of Andrea Apple to the business as well as the Net income from operations also known as Retained Earnings.
The Net Income for the month will be revenue less expenses.
Revenue
$5,700 cash and $2,750 on account for services provided in January.
Revenue is therefore,
= 5,700 + 2,750
= $8,450
Expenses
Expenses include the rent paid of $1,500 and the $275 paid for January Utilities.
= 1,500 + 275
= $1,775
Net Income = Revenue - Expenses
Net Income = 8,450 - 1,775
Net Income = $6,675
The Capital that Mr. Apple brought into the business refers to anything he contributed to the business whether in cash or otherwise.
The Capital therefore is,
- The $13,500 cash and the $20,000 worth of equipment.
The Capital Mr. Apple brought into the business is therefore,
= 13,500 + 20,000
= $33,500
The balance on the capital account will therefore be,
= Capital + Net Income
= 33,500 + 6,675
= $40,175

In January 2017, Crane Company, a newly formed company, issued 9500 shares of its $8 par common stock for $13 per share. On July 1, 2017, Crane Company reacquired 950 shares of its outstanding stock for $10 per share. The acquisition of these treasury sharesa. increased total stockholders' equity.b. decreased the number of issued shares.c. decreased total stockholders' equity.d. did not change total stockholders' equity.
Answer:
The correct option is C, decreased total stockholders' equity
Explanation:
By reacquiring 950 shares out of the issued shares of 9,500 shares ,the company takes possession of the 950 shares and give cash to stockholders in return for the shares repossessed.
As a result the total stockholders' equity would reduce, this is usually accounted for by deducting the cost of such repurchase from total stockholders' equity in the equity section of the balance sheet
An ordinary annuity selling at $14,130.15 today promises to make equal payments at the end of each year for the next twelve years (N). If the annuity’s appropriate interest rate (IN) remains at 8.00% during this time, the annual annuity payment (PMT) will be
Answer:
PMT = $1875.00
Explanation:
The annuity refers to a series of fixed payments made after an equal interval of time and for a definite time period. The formula for the present value of annuity is,
For ordinary annuity
PV of annuity = PMT * [(1 - (1+IN)^-n) / IN]
Plugging in the values for the available variables. We calculate the PMT to be,
14130.15 = PMT * [(1 - (1+0.08)^-12) / 0.08]
14130.15 = PMT * 7.536078017
14130.15 / 7.536078017 = PMT
PMT = $1875.000493 rounded off to $1875.00
Tedd E. Bear has an annual salary of $48,000 with no other loans outstanding. Using the 25% guideline from class and with a 20% down payment, how expensive of a home can Tedd purchase using a 4%, 30 year mortgage
Answer:
The total loan value would be of $261,825
Explanation:
In order to calculate how expensive of a home can Tedd purchase using a 4%, 30 year mortgage we would have to calculate first the amount of annual payments as follows:
amount of annual payments = $48,000*0.25 = $12,000
PMT = 12,000/12 = 1000
FV = 0
rate = 4%/12
N = 30*12
Hence, use FV function in Excel amount after down payment = $209,461.24
this represents 80% of the loan , so total loan value = $209,461.24/0.8 = $261,825
The total loan value would be of $261,825
The total loan amount is $261,825.
The calculation is as follows:Amount of annual payments = 25% of $48,000 = $12,000
PMT = 12,000 ÷ 12 = $1,000
FV = $0
Rate = 4% ÷ 12 = 0.333%
N = 30 × 12 = 360
Here we have to apply the FV function in the excel.
So,
Amount after downpayment = 209,461.24
The above amount represents 80% of the loan
Now
Total loan value is
= $209,461.24 ÷ 0.8
= $261,825

Concord Corporation had a 1/1/20 balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $36500. During 2020, it wrote off $30500 of accounts and collected $8600 on accounts previously written off. The balance in Accounts Receivable was $780000 at 1/1 and $940000 at 12/31. At 12/31/20, Concord estimates that 5% of accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible. What should Concord report as its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at 12/31/20
Answer:
$32,400
Explanation:
According to the situation for computation of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at 12/31/20 first we need to find out the actual balance which is shown below:-
Actual balance = Beginning Balance of Allowance + Amount reinstated - Amount written off + Uncollectible account expenses
= $36,500 + $8,600 - $30,500
= $14,600
Ending balance of Allowance = Balance of accounts receivables × Accounts receivable percentage at 12/31 - Actual balance
= $940,000 × 5% - $14,600
= $47,000 - $14,600
= $32,400
Therefore for reaching the ending balance of allowance we simply applied the above formula.

The December 31, 2019, balance sheet showed $164,000 and $3,090,000 in the same two accounts, respectively. The company paid out $159,000 in cash dividends during 2019 14.28 points What was the cash flow to stockholders for the year? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.
Answer:
Whelan, Inc.
The cash flow to stockholders for the year is $159,000, representing the cash dividends paid during 2019.
Explanation:
Cash flow to stockholders is the amount of cash that a company pays out to its shareholders, usually in the form of cash dividends. Mainly, cash flows to stockholders in two major ways: dividends and stock price increases when shares are sold. Dividends are cash flows to stockholders from the company. These are usually determined by the board of directors. Stock price increases are cash flows to stockholders from the stock exchange market. They are determined by the company's performance and the sentiments of the investors in an open market with reference to the company's financial performance and position.

On June 30, 2011, Cole Inc., exchanged 3,000 shares of Stone Corp. $30 par value common stock for a patent owned by Gore Co. The Stone stock was acquired in 2009 at a cost of $80,000. At the exchange date, Stone common stock had a fair value of $45 per share, and the patent had a net carrying value of $160,000 on Gore's books. Cole should record the patent at:
Answer:
$135000
Explanation:
Cole should record the patent at $135000. The intangible asset is recorded at the price at which it was purchased. Net carrying value of $160000 in the books of seller is not useful.
At the time of purchase of intangible asset, the fair value of stone stock exchanged was $45.
So the patent cost is =
3000 shares × $45 per share = $135000.
Cole should record the patent at this value.

e. The average sale period. (Theinventory at the beginning of last year totaled$620,000.)(Round your intermediate calculations and finalanswers to 1 decimal place. Use 365 days in a year.)
f. The operating cycle.(Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 1decimal place.)
g. The total asset turnover. (The total assets at the beginning oflast year were $2,919,000.) (Round your answers to 2decimal places.)
h. The debt-to-equity ratio.(Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
i. The times interest earned ratio.(Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
j. The equity multiplier. (Thetotal stockholdersâ equity at the beginning of last year totaled$1,679,000.) (Round your answers to 2 decimalplaces.)
Answer:
e. The average sales period = (average balance inventory / COGS) x 365 days = {[($1,065,000 + $715,000)/2] / $3,995,000} x 365 days = 81.3 days
f. The operating cycle = average sales period + (average accounts receivable / total credit sales) x 365 days = 81.3 + {[($633,000 + $420,000)/2] / $5,600,000} x 365 days = 81.3 + 34.3 = 115.6 days
g. The total asset turnover = total sales / average assets = $5,600,000 / [($3,815,200 + $2,959,000)/2 = 1.66 times
h. The debt-to-equity ratio = total liabilities / total equity = $1,670,000 / $2,145,200 = 0.778 or 77.8%
i. The times interest earned ratio = EBIT / interest expense = $928,000 / $102,000 = 9.1
j. The equity multiplier = total assets / total equity = $3,815,200 / $2,145,200 = 1.78
All of the following are techniques being used to make data centers more "green" except:________.
a) use of hydropower.
b) air-cooling.
c) use of wind power.
d) use of backup generators.
e) virtualization.
Answer:
d) use of backup generators.
Explanation:
Going green is a term used for practices that protect the environment by reducing, reusing and recycling resources. It involves engaging in ecologically friendly decisions and lifestyles with a view of preserving natural resources for future generations.
The use of backup generator causes production of green house gases like carbon dioxide. Green house gases erode the ozone layer and increases global warming.
The other options like use of hydropower, air cooling, use of wind power, and virtualisation do not have adverse effect on the environment.
Each week your supervisor holds a meeting in which he invites you and all the other employees to give feedback regarding current projects. According to path-goal theory, which behavior best describes your supervisor?
1. Supportive
2. Directive
3. Participative
4. Achievement oriented
Answer:
The correct answer is the third option: Participative.
Explanation:
To begin with, the path-goal theory refers to leadership theory developed by Robert House in 1971 and whose main focus is on the behavior that a leader has among its followers and states that the behavior that he has will influece the satisfaction, motivation and performance of his followers.
Secondly, the theory states that there are four behaviors and one of them is the partcipative behavior whose characteristics are that the leader tends to consult with followers and ask for their suggestion before making a final decision and that is why the best behavior that describes correctly to the supervisor is the participative.
Pennewell Publishing Inc. (PP) is a zero growth company. It currently has zero debt and its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are $80,000. PP's current cost of equity is 10%, and its tax rate is 40%. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding selling at a price per share of $48.00. Refer to the data for Pennewell Publishing Inc. (PP). Assume that PP is considering changing from its original capital structure to a new capital structure with 35% debt and 65% equity. This results in a weighted average cost of capital equal to 9.4% and a new value of operations of $510,638. Assume PP raises $178,723 in new debt and purchases T-bills to hold until it makes the stock repurchase. PP then sells the T-bills and uses the proceeds to repurchase stock. How many shares remain after the repurchase, and what is the stock price per share immediately after the repurchase?
Answer:
Price per share after repurchase = $51.064
Shares remaining after repurchase = 6500
Explanation:
Given the following :
Value of operations = $510,638
Value of T-bills = value of debt = $178,723
Therefore, value of equity = $510,638
Number of common shares = 10,000
Price per share = Value of equity / Number of shares
Price per share = $510,638 / 10,000 = $51.064
Price per share prior to repurchase is the same as price per share after repurchase.
However, number of shares repurchased equals;
$178,723 / $51.064 = 3499.99 = 3500 shares
Number of shares left after repurchase :
Totals shares - shares repurchased
10,000 - 3500 = 6,500
The Solow model predicts that, over time, real GDP in developing economies could potentially converge to the same level of real GDP as developed economies. Which of the following is not consistent with convergence?
a. Investors seeking to build new factories would likely build those factories in developing economies that have some political stability.
b. Developing nations should converge because they can take advantage of technological discoveries made by developed economies.
c. Over time, developing economies become richer, and developed economies become poorer, until they reach the same level of wealth.
d. Because investment in developing nations yields relatively greater returns, capital will flow into developing economies, leading to relatively greater economic gro
Answer: c. Over time, developing economies become richer, and developed economies become poorer, until they reach the same level of wealth.
Explanation:
The Solow model which is a neoclassical framework focuses on long term Economics and does indeed speak to the convergence of the Real GDPs of Developed Countries with that of Developing countries.
However, of all the options listed, Option C goes against the model because convergence cannot happen if the Developed Countries keep getting richer while Developing countries keep getting poorer. Should that happen, they will never get to the same level of wealth and indeed might end up on opposite sides of the wealth spectrum with Developed Countries being extremely wealthy and Developing countries being extremely poor.
For convergence to happen, the conditions in A, B and D are preferable as they can indeed bring about the said convergence.
You recently received a letter from Cut-to-the-Chase National Bank that offers you a new credit card that has no annual fee. It states that the annual percentage rate (APR) is 16 percent on outstanding balances. What is the effective annual interest rate?
Answer:
Effect Annual rate of return =17.22%
Explanation:
The Effective annual rate of return is the equivalent rate earned where compounding is done frequently at period or interval less than a year.
EAR = (1+r/m)^n× m - 1
EAR - Equivalent annual rate of return, r- annul rate of return, n-number of years
r= 16/12 =1.333%, n= 1 m= 12 (note there are 12 months in a year)
EAR = (1+0.16/12)^(1×12) - 1
EAR = 1.0133^12 - 1 = 0.1722
EAR 0.1722 × 100 = 17.22%
Effect Annual rate of return =17.22%
. Suppose Stevie'sStevie's expectation to sell one standard scooter for every three chrome scooters was incorrect and for every four scooters sold two are standard scooters and two are chrome scooters. Will the breakeven point of total scooters increase or decrease? Why? (Calculation not required.)
Answer:
It depends upon the contribution per unit of each product or in other words it depends on composite contribution per unit.
Explanation:
The composition matters a lot because of the fact that every product has its own contribution per unit. So if the product chrome has $1 contribution per unit and standard scooter has $2 contribution per unit. Also suppose that $6 is the total fixed cost. Then the priority to sell must be standard scooter, because it has higher contribution. Secondly if we only sell chrome scooters then total 6 ($6 fixed cost - 6 units * $1 contribution per unit) units must be sold and if we only sell standard scooters then only 3 ($6 fixed cost - 3 units * $2 contribution per unit) units must be sold to breakeven. Suppose, if we reduce standard scooters from 3 scooters to 2 units ($6 fixed cost - 2 units * $2 contribution per unit) then their will be loss of $2 which can be reduced to zero by selling 2 chrome scooters ($2 loss - 2 units * $1 contribution per unit).
So this is how contribution per unit affects the composite breakeven units and most important thing is that if the composite contribution per unit has increased then the breakeven units will decrease and vice versa.
Bond X is noncallable and has 20 years to maturity, a 9% annual coupon, and a $1,000 par value. Your required return on Bond X is 8%; if you buy it, you plan to hold it for 5 years. You (and the market) have expectations that in 5 years, the yield to maturity on a 15-year bond with similar risk will be 8.5%. How much should you be willing to pay for Bond X today
Answer:
$954.54
Explanation:
The price of the bond today is the present value of the promised cash inflows of coupon payment and repayment of face value which is computed using fv formula in excel below:
Price in 5 years time:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is 8.5% in 5 years' time
nper is 15 years in 5 years' time
pmt is the annual coupon=$1000*9%=$$90
fv is the face value of $1000
=-pv(8.5%,15,90,1000)=$ 1,041.52
Price today:
=-pv(8%,20,90,1,041.52)=$954.54
Elegant Limited sells restored classic cars. Most of its customers are private buyers who buy cars for
themselves. However, some of them are investors who buy multiple cars and hold them for resale. All
sales of Elegant Limited are for cash.
Depict the association and cardinality for the sales of cars at Elegant Limited based on REA mode
Answer:
Elegant Limited
a) Association for the sales of cars based on the REA model:
The association indicates the relationships that exist between economic agents in the sales of cars. The relationships are between the seller (Elegant Limited) and the buyers or customers (private buyers and investors). The association based on the REA model is that each economic agent exchanges some economic resources during an economic event. Elegant Limited will give cars to customers in exchange for cash or initially and in some cases, a promise to pay cash later. This is an economic event. When the customer pays, another economic event takes place, and resources are also exchanged.
b) Cardinality of the sales of cars: The cardinality defines the elements involved in the sales of cars based on the REA model. The elements are the economic resources (cars and cash), the economic events or business transactions that take place (sales of cars and payment of cash), and the economic agents (Elegant Limited and customers) who make the events and the exchange of resources to happen.
Explanation:
The REA model is a framework for defining business processes. It was originally proposed in 1982 by William E. McCarthy as a generalized accounting model, and contained the concepts of resources, events, and agents. It proposed to replace accounting objects like assets and liabilities with real-life objects, including:
1) goods, services or money, or resources
2) business transactions or agreements that affect resources, events
3) people or other human agencies (other companies, etc.), agents.

A shoe manufacturer is producing at a point where its marginal costs are $5 and its fixed costs are $5000. At the current price of $10 it is producing 500 pairs. If the demand goes down, such that they can now only charge $8 per pair, should they continue production in the short run?
Answer:
In a short time, as long as the product line can be sold with a positive contribution margin, the company should continue selling it.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
UNitary variable cost= $5
Fixed costs are $5000.
Sales= 500 units
Selling price= $8
First, we need to calculate the current income:
Income= 500*(8-5) - 5000= -$3,500
In a short time, as long as the product line can be sold with a positive contribution margin, the company should continue selling it. Demand can increase and income could become positive.
