Answer:
The current value placed on AXP is $ 45.08
Explanation:
Dividend currently paying = $ 0.80
Growth rate up to 5 years = 10.54%
Expected dividend for 1st year = $0.80 × 1.1054 = $0.88
Year Dividend amount Present Value at 15%
0 0.8
1 0.88 0.77
2 0.98 0.74
3 1.08 0.71
4 1.19 0.68
5 1.32 0.66
Growth rate = 13.21% from 6th year and onward
Expected dividend for 6th year = $1.32 × 1.1321 = $1.49
Value of the AXP at 5th year with constant growth at 13.21%
= $1.49 ÷ (0.15 - 0.1321)
= $83.51
Value of the AXP currently = P.V. of dividend payable in first 5 years + Present Value at 5th year at 15%
= $0.77 + $ 0.74 + $ 0.71 + $ 0.68 + $0.66 + ($83.51 × 0.4971 )
= $ 45.08
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.
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%
What is fixed and variable cost?
Answer:
Okay, so fixed costs are costs that are consistant in their price (buildings, rent, machinery, etc.). Variable costs are costs that change based on production (wages, materials, utilities, etc.).
Hope this helps :)

Copper Corporation, a calendar year C corporation, owns stock in Bronze Corporation and has net operating income of $900,000 for the current year. Bronze Corporation pays Copper a dividend of $150,000. What amount of dividends received deduction may Copper claim if it owns 85% of Bronze stock (and the two corporations are members of the same affiliated group)? (Assume Copper's dividends received deduction is not limited by its taxable income.)
Answer:
$150,000
Explanation:
Copper Corporation
The amount of dividends received deduction will tend to depends upon the ownership percentage by the corporate shareholder.
Therefore in a situation where Copper Corporation is said to owns only 85% of what Bronze Corporation had, Copper Corporation definitely qualify for a percentage of 100 deduction or a total amount of $150,000.if we have to based on the above information given because Bronze Corporation pays Copper Corporation a dividend of $150,000.
Jeanie acquires an apartment building in 2008 for $280,000 and sells it for $480,000 in 2019. At the time of sale there is $60,000 of accumulated straight-line depreciation on the apartment building.

According to section 1250 of the Internal Revenue Service, the depreciation previously allowed as a deduction would now be taxed in the case of ordinary income at the highest tax level.
And, For this, the asset should be depreciated real property.
In the question, there is depreciation charged for apartment building so the same is eligible
The eligibility is allowed up to $60,000 and the same is to be considered
Assume the Macro Islands can produce 25 fishing boats or 150 jars of guava jelly in one hour. The Micro Islands can produce 30 fishing boats or 300 jars of guava jelly in the same time period. This data tells an economist that:________. a. the Macro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing guava jelly. b. the Micro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing fishing boats and the Macro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing guava jelly. c. the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly. d. the Micro Islands have a comparative in producing fishing boats and the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly. the Micro Islands have a comparative and absolute advantage in producing fishing boats.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.
Explanation:
To begin with the term of ''comparative advantage'' is refer to the quality of one country in comparison with another to produce in a better way, a more eficient way, a good. Therefore that when a country has a comparative advantage over another country it means that the first country can produce more of a good with less resources that the second country.
That is why, that the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats over the Micro islands due to the fact that there is a very little difference with the other country meanwhile the Micro Islands have a comparative advatange in the production of guava jelly due to the amount of goods that it can produce in the same amount of time with the great amount difference in comparison with the Macro Islands. Therefore that one country chooses to produce the good in which it is better in comparison with the other.
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
Option D. is correct.

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
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.
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%
Problem 15-10 The term structure for zero-coupon bonds is currently: Maturity (Years) YTM (%) 1 4.1 % 2 5.1 3 6.1 Next year at this time, you expect it to be: Maturity (Years) YTM (%) 1 5.1 % 2 6.1 3 7.1 a.

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 December 31, 2018, balance sheet of Whelan, Inc., showed $154,000 in the common stock account and $2,790,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. 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.

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
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.

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.
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.

Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr. Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr. Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr. Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr. Hayford die. Mr. Hayford would like to insure Mr. Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
Question:
Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die. Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
(a) What is the extent of insurable interest in each case?
(b) Consider any necessary action if the loan was later repaid earlier than anticipated what happens to the policy?
Answer:
To answer the question (a), one must first understand the concept of Insurable Interest.
A policyholder is said to have an insurable interest in a subject matter whenever the subject matter of a contract provides some financial gain to them and would lead to a financial loss if damaged, destroyed, stolen or lost.
For example, if I purchase a car for my use for $10,000, theft of or damage to that car will translate to financial loss to me. Therefore, I have an insurance interest in the car. This qualified me to Insure the car against loss arising from any form of insurable damage, or theft.
In question (a) there are two cases.
Case I - Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die.
Mr Isaac, in this case, has full insurable interest on Mr Hayfords life. If Mr Hayford dies, Mr Isaac will be put in a financial loss to the tune of Gh₵20000.
Case II - Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
Mr Hayford does an insurable interest on Mr Isaac's life. This insurable interest arises due to the possibility (as given in the question) that Isaacs family have the power to request for the loan earlier than it ought to have been paid.
The insurable interest arises because paying back the loan earlier than anticipated, may put Mr Hayford in financial distress and may lead to financial and economic loss. If the loan is meant for the running of his business, the business may fold up, and he may forfeit all the assets of the business.
In a real-life scenario, this can all be prevented by ensuring that the terms of the loan are documented in a contract which must be ratified by both parties. In this contract, clauses preventing the lender from cutting short the tenure of the loan can be inserted. This is less expensive and easier to administer.
(b) In each of the cases above, if the loan is paid back earlier than anticipated:
i. Under duress from the family: The provision of the policy protecting the interest of Mr. Hayford kicks in and makes good the loss to mitigate it and terminates afterwards.
ii. By volition by Mr Hayford: The policy terminates immediately as the insurable interest he has on Mr Isaac's life becomes extinct.

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.
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
