Answer:
The firm's cost of preferred stock is 9.10%
Explanation:
The cost of preferred stock with the flotation of 5% would be the dividend payable by the preferred stock divided by the adjusted current market price(adjusted for flotation cost)
The dividend per year is $8
The adjusted price of the stock=$92.50*(1-f)
where f is the flotation cost in percentage terms i.e 5%
adjusted price of the stock is =$92.50*(1-5%)=$ 87.88
Cost of preferred stock=$8/$87.88*100 = 9.10%
Which of the following statements concerning the selection of risk management techniques and insurance market conditions is (are) true? I.It's easier to purchase affordable insurance during a "soft" market than during a "hard" market.II.Retention is used more during a "soft" market than during a "hard" market.I onlyII onlyboth I and IIneither I nor II
Answer:
I.It's easier to purchase affordable insurance during a "soft" market than during a "hard" market
I only
Explanation:
When a purchaser of insurance wants to make a purchase he analyses the market to get a favourable condition that reduces risk and loss.
The market condition can be a soft market or hard market.
Soft market is one in which potential sellers are more than potential buyers. So supply exceeds demand. Buyers are able to buy affordable insurance.
Hard market on the other hand is when there is an upswing in market cycle. Premiums increase and capacity for insurance decreases.
It is more difficult to get affordable insurance in this market
Imperial Jewelers manufactures and sells a gold bracelet for $408.00. The company’s accounting system says that the unit product cost for this bracelet is $268.00 as shown below:
Direct materials $147
Direct labor 85
Manufacturing overhead 36
Unit product cost $268
The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 30 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $368.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would require Imperial Jewelers to buy a special tool for $452 and that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $9. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed.
To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $15.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding party’s order using its existing manufacturing capacity.
Required:
a. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order from the wedding party?
b Should the company accept the special order?
Answer:
2352, Yes
Explanation:
a) Incremental Cost = Direct Material cost + Direct labour cost + Filgree + Manufacturing overhead cost
= 147 + 85 + 9 + 15 = 256
Total additional Cost = 256 x 21 = 5376
Incremental Revenue = 368
Total additional Revenue = 368 x 21 = 7728
Incremental net operating income = Total additional revenue - total additional cost
= 7728 - 5376 = 2352
b) As Incremental net operating income is positive, company is earning from the special order. Yes, it should accept it
The relevant costs for a decision to accept the special order are :
1. Incremental Revenue from the special order
2. incremental variable cost
3. The cost of the special tool
Unit variable cost = 147+ 85 + 9 + 15 = $256
The balance of manufacturing overhead would be incurred either way. Therefore, they are not relevant for the decision
Sales revenue from special order $
(21× $368) 7728
The Variable cost of special order $
(21× $256) (5376 )
Financial advantage 2358
The company should accept the special order, as it will increase its profit by $2352

The following costs are budgeted for Harlow Corporation for next year: The costs above are based on a level of activity of 20,000 units. Assuming that this activity is within the relevant range, what would total cost per unit be for Harlow if the level of activity was only 18,000 units?
Answer:
$48.50
Explanation:
Harlow Corporation
First step is to calculate for Variable cost per unit:
Variable cost per unit =
$270,000 ÷ 20,000 units
= $13.50 per unit
Second step is to calculate for the cost function
Cost function :
Y = $630,000 + $13.50X
Y= $630,000 + $13.50(18,000)
Y=$630,000+$243,000
Y = $873,000
Therefore:
Total cost / number of units = total cost per unit$
Total cost =$873,000
Number of units= 18,000
$873,000 ÷ 18,000
= $48.50
Therefore the total cost per unit is $48.50
Imagine that you work in a call center. Your manager tells you that you need to answer 25% more calls per hour. In order to do this, you must spend less time with each caller, and your caller satisfaction scores are going down. By answering more phone calls but providing worse service, you ARE being __________ but NOT ___________.
Answer:
By answering more phone calls but providing worse service, you ARE being EFFICIENT but NOT SATISFY CUSTOMERS' NEEDS.
Explanation:
A worker's efficiency is measured by the total output per hour of labor. In this case, since you are answering more calls per hour, your efficiency is increasing (higher output per hour).
The quality of the service provided by a worker's is measured by the quality of their output (or performance), and if you satisfy your customers' needs. Since the service that you are providing is not that good, then your quality levels are decreasing.
You may be producing more services, but the services produced lack good quality.
A local radio commercial costs $600 and reaches an estimated 10,250 listeners. A local cable commercial costs $1000 and reaches an estimated 18,500 viewers. Which medium provides the lowest CPM?
a. The radio commercial
b. The cable commercial
c. The radio and cable commercials have the same CPM
d. The CPM cannot be calculated given the limited information provided
e. None of the above
Answer:
b. The cable commercial
Explanation:
CPM or cost per mille is a measure used in advertising to determine how effectively a promotional message is getting to its audience. It is the cost of getting an advert in front of 1,000 people.
In this scenario when we calculate CPM for the radio station
$600 = 10,250 listeners
x= 1,000 listeners
Cross multiply
x= (600 * 1,000) ÷ 10,250 = $58.54
For the local cable commercial
$1000 = 18,500 viewers
y = 1,000 viewers
Cross multiply
y= (1,000 * 1,000) ÷ 18,500= $54.05

Hastings Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt; its beta is 1.10 (given its target capital structure). Vandell has $8.67 million in debt that trades at par and pays an 7.3% interest rate. Vandell’s free cash flow (FCF0) is $1 million per year and is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% a year. Both Vandell and Hastings pay a 40% combined federal and state tax rate. The risk-free rate of interest is 6% and the market risk premium is 7%. Hastings Corporation estimates that if it acquires Vandell Corporation, synergies will cause Vandell’s free cash flows to be $2.5 million, $3.2 million, $3.5 million, and $3.57 million at Years 1 through 4, respectively, after which the free cash flows will grow at a constant 6% rate. Hastings plans to assume Vandell’s $8.67 million in debt (which has an 7.3% interest rate) and raise additional debt financing at the time of the acquisition. Hastings estimates that interest payments will be $1.5 million each year for Years 1, 2, and 3. After Year 3, a target capital structure of 30% debt will be maintained. Interest at Year 4 will be $1.465 million, after which the interest and the tax shield will grow at 6%. Indicate the range of possible prices that Hastings could bid for each share of Vandell common stock in an acquisition. Round your answers to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
The bid for each share should range between $ ______ per share and $ _______ per share.
Answer:
$40.79 per share and $52.90 per share
Explanation:
Cost of Debt (Kd) = Wd * Rd (1 - T)
Cost of Debt for Vandell Corporation is $7.30 * (1 - 0.40) = 4.38%
Cost of Equity (Ke) = Rf + [tex]\beta[/tex] * Rp
Cost of Equity for Vandell Corporation is 6 + 1.10 * 7 = 13.70%
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = Wd * Kd + We * Ke
Cash Flow of Firm = $2.5m + $3.2m + $3.5m + $3.57m = $12.77
Weight of Equity = $8.94
WACC = 30% * 4.38% + 70% * 13.70% = 10.9%
CashFlows after discounting synergy will be = $40.79

c. Constant average costs when multiple different products are produced
d. none of the above
Answer:
b. As you expand output, your marginal productivity eventually declines
a. decreasing average costs as production increases
a. lower average costs when multiple different products are produced
Explanation:
The law of diminishing marginal returns states that as more unit of variable factors of production are added to production, output would increase at first but after a period, it would increase at a negative rate.
Economies of scale is the reduction in cost thay accrue to firms as they increase production. For example, a supplier might give a firm a discount for buying in bulk.
Economies of scope states that average cost would fall as the production of similar products increases. For example, a fashion designer who makes women's clothings decides to make scarfs with the scraps of clothes left.

Rational choice theorists would define the behavior of corporate executives who outsource many jobs to countries where the cost of labor is substantially less than in the United States as being:
Answer: Instrumental
Explanation:
Rational choice theory, is a school of thought which is based on the assumption that individuals will choose a course of action which goes in line with what they personally prefer.
For the instrumental rationality, it has to do with looking for the most cost effective method in order to achieve a particular objective. Therefore, the behavior of corporate executives who outsource jobs to other countries where labor cost is cheaper than in the United States is defined as being instrumental.

Answer:
1. Prepare a schedule of accounts receivable for Calderone Company at January 31, 2019.
Since there is not enough room here, I prepared an excel spreadsheet. Since we are not told the credit terms of the sales, I assumed all the sales were more not past due.
2. Should the total of your accounts receivable schedule agree with the balance of the Accounts Receivable account in the general ledger at January 31, 2019?
Of course, the balance of the accounts receivable control account should equal the total balance of the accounts receivable schedule. Even if some accounts are written off (bad debt), both the accounts receivable schedule and the general ledger accounts receivable should show that write off.
Explanation:
Gretchen has just started as a fashion marketing intern for an up-and-coming design firm. When she came in, she was asked to work on a project identifying important events where celebrities might wear the fashions. She soon realized that this activity was part of _____________, directly related to marketing.
Answer:
A push-pull strategy
Explanation:
The Push strategy is an aspect of marketing where the marketer aims at taking his products directly to a target audience. This is done so as to stimulate the interest of the consumer in that particular product. Developing brands tend to employ this strategy to showcase themselves to the consumer in hopes of getting them attracted to their products. This is the strategy which the up-and-coming design firm is trying to employ when they seek to identify important events where celebrities might wear the fashions. They engage in this activity because they want to showcase their designs to the target audience- the celebrities.
Pull strategy is the opposite of this strategy as customers are now aware of the reputation of the brand and then seek them out on their own.

Marina had an accident with her car and the repair bill came to $900. She didn't have any emergency fund money and no extra
money in her monthly budget, so she ended up borrowing from a pay-day loan company. As long as she can pay the loan back at
the end of the 30 day period she won't be charged any interest, technically. However, she did have to pay an $18 processing fee
per $100 that she borrowed.
If she were to consider the processing fee to represent interest paid in her formula, what would she discover to
be the annual interest rate she was charged on her short term loan?
Answer:
216%
Explanation:
Ordinary interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year, so Marina's borrowing period is 1/12 of a year. The annual rate is then 12 times the rate Marina pays for 30 days:
12 × 18/100 = 216/100 = 216%
Marina would discover the annual interest rate is 216%.
The common stock of Buildwell Conservation & Construction Inc. (BCCI) has a beta of .9. The Treasury bill rate is 4%, and the market risk premium is estimated at 8%. BCCI’s capital structure is 30% debt, paying an interest rate of 5%, and 70% equity. The debt sells at par. Buildwell pays tax at 40%.
a. What is BCCI’s cost of equity capital? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.)
Cost of equity capital %
b. What is its WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
WACC %
Answer:
Cost of equity is 11.2%
WACC is 8.74%
Explanation:
The formula for cost of equity is given below:
Cost of equity=risk free rate+(Beta *risk premium)
risk free rate is the treasury bill rate of 4%
Beta is 0.9
market risk premium is 8%
cost of equity=4%+(0.9*8%)=11.2%
WACC=Ke*E/V+Kd*D/V*(1-t)
Ke is the cost of equity of 11.2%
Kd is the cost of debt of 5%
t is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4
E is the equity weighting of 70% or 0.7
D is the debt weighting of 30% or 0.3
V is the E+D=0.7+0.3=1
WACC=11.20% *0.7/1+(5%*0.3/1*(1-0.4)
WACC=7.84% +0.90% =8.74%

Section 103 of the Federal Public Works Employment Act establishes the Minority Business Enterprise program and requires that, absent a waiver by the secretary of commerce, 10 percent of all federal grants given by the Economic Development Administration be used to purchase services or supplies from businesses owned and controlled by U.S. citizens belonging to one of six minority groups: African Americans, Spanish speaking, Asian, Native American, Eskimo, and Aleut. White owners of business contend the Act constitutes illegal reverse discrimination. Discuss.
Explanation:
Looking from a fair point of view, the White owners of businesses have legitimate reasons to feel that the Act constitutes illegal reverse discrimination.
Remember, reverse discrimination implies an unfair treatment of the majority group (White owners) in an effort to please the minority group. This is evident from the fact that the 10 percent of all federal grants to be released by the Economic Development Administration was only to be used to purchase services or supplies from businesses owned and controlled by U.S. citizens belonging to one of six minority groups excluding the White business owners; making the White owners feel discriminated against.
Thus, unintentionally the Act became a reverse discrimination on White business owners.
(5). The variance of Stock A is .005, the variance of the market is .008 and the covariance between the two is .0026. What is the correlation coefficient
Answer:
0.4110
Explanation:
The formula and computation of the correlation coefficient is shown below:
Correlation co-efficient = Covariance ÷ (Standard deviation of market × Standard deviation of Stock A)
where,
Covariance between the two = 0.0026
Variance of the stock A = 0.005
And, the variance of the market is 0.008
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the correlation coefficient is
= 0.0026 ÷ (0.008 × 0.005)^0.50
= 0.0026 ÷ 0.006324555
= 0.411096096
= 0.4110
Hence, the correlation coefficient is 0.4110
On July 8, Jones Inc. issued an $62,900, 9%, 120-day note payable to Miller Company. Assume that the fiscal year of Jones ends on July 31. Using the 360-day year, what is the amount of interest expense recognized by Jones in the current fiscal year

A municipal bond is issued with a covenant that states "if revenue collections are insufficient, the state legislature has the authority, but not the obligation, to make an annual apportionment of funds necessary to meet debt service requirements." This is a:
Answer:
Moral obligation bond
Explanation:
Moral obligation bond is defined as a revenue bond that is issued by a municipality or by some other government body.
The benefits of moral obligation bonds are tax exemption and a moral pledge that there will be no default on the bond.
Usually a reserve fund is established in case the issuing body is unable to meet its debt obligations.
In this scenario the bond is issued with a covenant that states "if revenue collections are insufficient, the state legislature has the authority, but not the obligation, to make an annual apportionment of funds necessary to meet debt service requirements."

Digger Inc. sells a high-speed retrieval system for mining information. It provides the following information for the year.
Budgeted Actual
Overhead cost $975,000 $950,000
Machine hours 50,000 45,000
Direct labor hours 100,000 92,000
Required:
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
b. Determine the amount of overhead applied for the year.
Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate = $ 9.75 per direct labor hours
Overhead applied = $897,000
Explanation:
Given:
Budgeted Overhead cost = $975,000
Actual Overhead cost = $950,000
Budgeted Machine hours = 50,000
Actual Machine hours = 45,000
Budgeted Direct labor hours = 100,000
Actual Direct labor hours = 92,000
Computation:
(a) Predetermined overhead rate.
Predetermined overhead rate = budgeted overhead cost / budgeted direct labor hours
Predetermined overhead rate = $975,000 / 100,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $ 9.75 per direct labor hours
(b) Amount of overhead applied for the year.
Overhead applied = Actual hours × Predetermined overhead rate
Overhead applied = 92000 × $9.75
Overhead applied = $897,000

In a closed system one kilogram of carbon dioxide (CO_2) is expanded reversibly from 30 degree C and 200 kPa to 100 kPa pressure. If the expansion is polytropic with n = 1.27, determine the total work, the change in total internal energy, and the total heat transferred in [kJ], Note that for CO_2, R = 188.9 J/kg.K and c_v = 655 J/kg.K. W = -29.05 kJ, DeltaU = -27.19 kJ, Q = 1.860 kJ
Answer:
the total work W = 29.05 kJ
the change in total internal energy is [tex]\mathbf{\Delta U = - 27.19 \ kJ}[/tex]
the total heat transferred in [kJ] is Q = 1.860 kJ
Explanation:
Given that
mass of carbon dioxide in the closed system = 1 kg
Temperature [tex]T_1= 30 ^0 C[/tex] = (273+30 ) K = 303 K
Pressure [tex]P_1 = \ 200 \ kPa[/tex]
Pressure [tex]P_2 = 100 \ kPa[/tex]
polytropic expansion n = 1.27
Note that we are also given the following data set:
R = 188.9 J/kg.K
c_v = 655 J/kg.K
So; for a polytropic process ; [tex]PV^{1.27} = c[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}= ( \dfrac{V_1}{V_2})^{n-1} = (\dfrac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{n-1}{n}[/tex]
[tex]T_2 = T_1 [\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}]^{\frac{n-1}{n}[/tex]
[tex]T_2 = 303 [\dfrac{100}{200}]^{\frac{1.27-1}{1.27}[/tex]
[tex]T_2 = 261.48 \ K[/tex]
Since the system does not follow the first order of thermodynamics; To calculate the total work by using the expression:
[tex]W = \dfrac{P_1V_1-P_2V_2}{n-1} = \dfrac{mR(T_1-T_2)}{n-1}[/tex]
[tex]W = \dfrac{1*188.9(303-261.48)}{1.27-1}[/tex]
W = 29048.62222 J
W = 29.05 kJ
Thus, the total work W = 29.05 kJ
The change in internal energy can be expressed by the formula:
[tex]\Delta U = mc_v (T_2-T_1)[/tex]
[tex]\Delta U = 1*655(261.48-303)[/tex]
[tex]\Delta U = -27195.6 \ J[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\Delta U = - 27.19 \ kJ}[/tex]
Hence; the change in total internal energy is [tex]\mathbf{\Delta U = - 27.19 \ kJ}[/tex]
Finally; to determine the total heat transferred in [kJ]; we go by the expression for the first order of thermodynamics which say:
Total Heat Q = ΔU + W
Q = (-27.19 + 29.05)kJ
Q = 1.860 kJ
Hence; the total heat transferred in [kJ] is Q = 1.860 kJ
Digital Corp is considering investing in project A. Their accountants gave them the following information: Initial investment: $1,200,000 Salvage Value: $340,000 Contribution Margin: $320,000 Present Value of Cash Flows: 4,580,000 Annual Cash Inflow: $850,000 Cost of Capital: 9% Length of project: 5 years What is the payback period
Answer:
The payback period for the investment is 1.41 years
Explanation:
The payback period is the length of time it takes an investment to repay back the investment capital outlay committed to it at the inception of the project.
The payback period is computed as the initial investment divided by annual cash inflow
Initial investment is $1,200,000
Annual cash inflow is $850,000
Payback period=$1,200,000/$850,000= 1.41 years

June 6,341 2,012
Using the high-low method, total monthly fixed overhead cost is calculated to be:________.
Answer:
$2,907
Explanation:
the formulas to calculate costs using the high-low method are:
variable cost = (highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (highest activity units - lowest activity units) fixed costs = highest activity cost - (variable cost per unit x highest activity units)variable cost = ($6,460 - $5,559) / (2,090 - 1,560) = $901 / 530 units = $1.70 per unit
fixed costs = $6,460 - ($1.70 x 2,090) = $6,460 - $3,553 = $2,907
Calculate the Social Security and Medicare deductions for the following employee (assume a tax rate of 6.2% on $128,400 for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare): (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
Social Security tax = $7,960.80
Medicare tax = $1,861.80
Explanation:
Let's begin by listing out the information given:
Social Security tax rate = 6.2%,
Medicare tax rate = 1.45%,
Income = $128,400
To calculate for the deductions(tax), we use the formula:
Tax = Tax rate * Income
For Social Security
Tax = Tax rate * Income
Tax = 6.2% * $128,400
T = 0.062 * $128,400
T = $7,960.80
∴ $7,960.80 of the employee's income is deducted for Social Security tax
For Medicare
Tax = Tax rate * Income
Tax = 1.45% * $128,400
T = 0.0145 * $128,400
T = $1,861.80
∴ $1,861.80 of the employee's income is deducted for Medicare tax
