Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of amount of revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized in each of the three years is shown below:-

Sales revenue for the present period  for 2021 = $31,00,000.00 

Sales revenue for the present period  for 2022 =  $46,00,000.00  

Sales revenue for the present period  for 2023 =  $23,00,000.00  

Gross Profit for year 2021 = $5,58,000.00

Gross profit for year 2022 = $8,28,000.00

Gross profit for year 2023 = $2,25,400.00  

To reach the sales revenue we simply deduct the Sales revenue recognized in previous period  from Sales revenue recognized till date for 3 years on the other hand to compute the gross profit we simply deduct the Cost incurred during the year  from Sales revenue for the present period for 3 years.

For clarification we attached the spreadsheet to reach the sales revenue and  gross profit for 3 years.

lost profits = total revenue - total costs = $5,760,000 - $5,376,000 = $384,000unavoidable fixed costs = $18 x 48,000 units = $864,000total decrease in profits ($1,248,000)

8.  profits will decrease by:

lost profits from Beta product line = $8,160,000 - $7,616,000 = ($544,000)increased profits from Alpha sales = $2,220,000 - $1,668,000 = $552,000unavoidable fixed costs = (68,000 x $18) - (12,000 x $23) = (948,000)total decrease in profits ($940,000)

9.  profits will increase by:

avoidable costs of producing 88,000 Alphas = 88,000 x $116 = $10,208,000cost of purchasing 88,000 x $112 = ($9,856,000)total increase in profits = $10,208,000 - $9,856,000 = $352,000

10.  profits will increase by:

avoidable costs of producing 58,000 Alphas = 58,000 x $116 = $6,728,000cost of purchasing 58,000 x $112 = ($6,496,000)total increase in profits = $6,728,000 - $6,496,000 = $232,000

13.  Since the profit margin per pound of direct materials used for Alphas = $7.67 and Betas = $4, the company should produce Alphas. It should produce 28,666 Alphas and 2 Betas. Total profits = $1,318,636 + $16 = $1,318,652

14.  Maximum contribution margin:

Contribution margin Alphas = 28,666 units x $92 = $2,637,272Contribution margin Betas = 2 units x $52 = $104total contribution margin = $2,637,376

15.  Since the profit margin per pound of materials used Betas is only $4, there is not much room for increasing the materials costs. If you want to produce Betas, you would be willing to pay less than $9 per pound of direct materials.

But since the profit margin per pound of direct materials used on Alphas is much higher ($7.67), as long as you pay less than $12.97 per pound of direct materials you can still make a profit producing Alphas. So you could pay a much higher price if you wanted to produce Alphas and still make a profit.

You’re about ready to sign a big new client to a contract worth over $50,000. Your boss is under a lot of pressure to increase sales. He calls you into his office and tells you his job is on the line, and he asks you to include the revenue for your contract in the sales figures for the quarter that ends tomorrow. You know the contract is a sure thing but the client is out of town and cannot possibly sign by tomorrow. What do you do?

Answers

Answer:

This is a complicated ethical dilemma because generally you wouldn't want to hurt or do things that can be negative for your boss, specially if he is a good boss. But including unrealized sales is also a bad thing.

This is not only unethical but also violates accounting principles (known as accounting fraud). This can lead to several and severe penalties, which in some cases include jail time. In this case and for this amounts that would not be the case, but other negative consequences can result.

What happens if something goes wrong and the sales is not closed. The answer is simple, you will lose your job. If other employees learn about this your credibility will suffer a lot. Everyone will believe that you always lie about your sales figures.

Personally, I would find an excuse for not including that sales contract in the current month. No choice is easy, but you should do the right and legal thing.

This is a difficult ethical problem because you normally don't want to damage or do things that could harm your boss, especially if he is a nice one. However, counting anticipated sales is also problematic.

Not only is immoral, but it also goes against accounting standards . This can result in a variety of harsh sanctions, including jail time in some situations. That would not be the case in this circumstance and for these amounts, but other undesirable repercussions could occur.

Explanation:

a.

Working capital is the net of current assets and current liabilities.

Working Capital = Current Asset - Current Liabilities

Placing values in the formula

Working Capital = $238,000 - $156,000

Working Capital = $82,000

b.

Current ratio is the ratio of current asset and liabilities.

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Placing values in the formula

Current Ratio = $238,000 / $156,000

Current Ratio = 1.53

c.

Debt to asset ratio is the ratio of debt to total assets of the company.

Debt to assets Ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets

Placing values in the formula

Debt to assets Ratio = $600,000 / $994,000

Debt to assets Ratio = 0.60

d.

Debt to equity ratio is the ratio of debt to equity of the company.

Debt to equity Ratio = Total Liabilities / equity

Placing values in the formula

Debt to equity Ratio = $600,000 / $394,000

Direct labor hours 100,000 92,000

Required:
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
b. Determine the amount of overhead applied for the year.

Answers

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

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.

Answers

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.

You are looking to buy a car. You can afford $700 in monthly payments for five years. In addition to the loan, you can make a $800 down payment. If interest rates are 9.25 percent APR, what price of car can you afford (loan plus down payment)

Answers

Answer:

$34,333

Explanation:

A fix periodic payment for a specific period of time is an annuity payment. Price of the car can be determined by the sum of the present value of all payments and down payment made.

First we need o calculate the present value of annuity using following formula

Present value of annuity = P x [ 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n / r ]

P = periodic payment = $700

r = APR = 9.25 /12% = 0.77%

n = numbers of periods = 5 years x 12 months per year = 60 months

Placing values in the formula

Present value of annuity = $700 x [ 1 - ( 1 + 0.77% )^-60 / 0.77% ]

Present value of annuity = $33,532.88

Price of the car = Present value of annuity + Down Payment

Price of the car = $33,532.88 + $800 = $34,332.88

The company paid total cash dividends of $3,500 in its first year of operation. The cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is:

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $4,300

Explanation:

Solution

We recall that:

Torino company has 1,200 shares of = $50 per value

The cumulative and nonparticipating preferred stock of = 6.0%

They also have 13,00 shares

Common stock outstanding = $10 per value

Total dividends = $3,500

Now,

The first year amount of dividend that was paid in the first year of working is  stated as follows:

6% * 1300 * 50 = $3900

The paid dividend = $3,500

The amount amount payable during the second year to the common stakeholders is

=$3900 + 400 = $4,300

Note: preferred shares are cumulative, for this the amount paid to the stakeholders was $4,300

g A decrease in the price of a good would a. increase the supply of the good. b. increase the quantity demanded of the good. c. give producers an incentive to produce more to keep profits from falling. d. shift the supply curve for the good to the left.

Answers

Answer:

. b. increase the quantity demanded of the good

Explanation:

An decrease in the price of the good increases the demand for the good according to the law of demand.

The law of demand states that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

An increase in price would increase supply.

A change in price leads to a movement along either the demand or supply curve.

Other factors other than the change in price leads to a movement of these curves.

I hope my answer helps you

Answer:

A decrease in the price of a good would increase the supply of the good.

A decrease in the price of a good would NOT increase the quantity demanded of the good.

A decrease in the price of a good would NOT give producers an incentive to produce more to keep profits from falling.

A. Formal. On the Internet, find statistics gathered by the United Nations showing the dropout rates of students by gender and age. Request that certain reports be sent to you, so you can examine the date yourself.
B. Informal. To get a local perspective on Middle Eastern affous, we nema to a professor there.
C. Informal. To get a local perspective on Middle Easter affairs, conduct a one survey of me who live in the area.

Answers

Answer: 1. A. Access traditional sources and electronic sources.

2. B. Conduct an informal survey

3. A. Formal. On the Internet, find statistics gathered by the United Nations showing the dropout rates of students by gender and age. Request that certain reports be sent to you, so you can examine the date yourself.

Explanation:

1. This is a research into the history of the internet in professional Environments. Considering how long the internet has been around which isn't too long but long enough that first hand information is not readily available, consulting Traditional sources and Electronic sources is the best way to go.

It will have information from the past that you can use to come up with a chronological report on the use of the internet in a professional setting.

2. This is not a serious research and involves your immediate surroundings so an informal method can be used. The best informal method would be an informal survey amongst your co-workers who are also affected by the problem. This survey will help you come up with a solution faster and easier because you are getting first hand information from those directly affected.

3. You are working for an International Development Agency and as such can not afford to present information that is false or void of due procedure in way because it will affect the reputation of the Agency if you do so.

For this reason your sources must be formal sources with definite information and the United Nations is a very good source for that. To go a step further you can request reports and double check the figures yourself to ensure that the information used is of the highest quality and accuracy.

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?

Answers

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%.

Answers

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.

Hardwig Inc. is considering whether to pursue a restricted or relaxed current asset investment policy. The firm's annual sales are expected to total $3,600,000, its fixed assets turnover ratio equals 4.0, and its debt and common equity are each 50% of total assets. EBIT is $150,000, the interest rate on the firm's debt is 10%, and the tax rate is 40%. If the company follows a restricted policy, its total assets turnover will be 2.5. Under a relaxed policy its total assets turnover will be 2.2. Refer to the data for Hardwig, Inc. Assume now that the company believes that if it adopts a restricted policy, its sales will fall by 15% and EBIT will fall by 10%, but its total assets turnover, debt ratio, interest rate, and tax rate will all remain the same. In this situation, what's the difference between the projected ROEs under the restricted and relaxed policies? a. 2.46% b. 2.98% c. 3.27% d. 2.24% e. 2.70%

Answers

Answer:

d. 2.24%

Explanation:

total annual sales = $3,600,000

fixed asset turnover = total sales / fixed assets = 4, that means that total fixed assets = $3,600,000 / 4 = $900,000

debt = 50% = $450,000

equity = 50% = $450,000

EBIT = $150,000

net income = $150,000 x (1 - 40%) = $90,000

restricted policy:

asset turnover = 2.5

sales = $3,600,000 x (1 - 15%) = $3,060,000

EBIT = $135,000

net income = $81,000

assets = $3,060,000 / 2.5 = $1,224,000

equity = $1,224,000 x 50% = $612,000

ROE = $81,000 / $612,000 = 13.24%

relaxed policy:

asset turnover = 2.2

EBIT = $150,000

net income = $90,000

assets = $3,600,000 / 2.2 = $1,636,364

equity = 50% x $1,636,364 = $818,182

ROE = $90,000 / $818,182 = 11%

difference between ROEs = 13.24% - 11% = 2.24%

The poverty rate would be substantially lower if the market value of in-kind transfers were added to family income. The largest in-kind transfer is Medicaid, the government health program for the poor. Suppose the program costs $10,000 per recipient family. True or False: If the government gave each recipient family a $10,000 check instead of enrolling them in the Medicaid program, most of these families likely would spend that amount of money on health insurance. True False True or False: This result suggests that we should value in-kind transfers at the price the government pays for them in determining the poverty rate. True False Because the benefit of Medicaid to its recipients is likely than its cost, it to give the poor cash transfers instead.

Answers

Answer: False; False; True.

Explanation:

a. False.

If the government gave every recipient family a $10,000 check rather than enrolling them in the Medicaid program, majority of the families would not spend the money on health insurance. The money will rather be spent on foods that the customer hasn't reached a satiation point in e.g foods, housing etc.

b. False.

We should determine poverty rate by valuing the in-kind transfers at the price which the family would have paid for the same amount of the good not taking into consideration of how the family spend the cash transfer.

c. True.

The poor would be better off in situations where they receive cash transfer rather than in-kind transfer. They could spend the cash on things apart from medical care. The poor value other things more than the health insurance and would be better off with the cash.

CBC uses a perpetual inventory system. Assuming CBC uses the gross method to record purchases, ending inventory would be:

Answers

Answer:

$39,053

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory is shown below:

Beginning inventory $52,600  

Add: Inventory purchased $297,000

Add: Freight in $9,400

Less: Merchandise returned -$2,100

Less: Discounts -$8,847 ($297,000 - $2,100) × 3%

Less: Cost of goods sold -$309,000

Ending inventory $39,053

Hence, the ending inventory using the gross method is $39,053

Required:
a. What is the break-even point in units for proposal A?
b. What is the break-even point in units for proposal B?

Answers

Answer:

                                             Break-event point

Product A                                      6,000 units

Product B                                      6,250 units

Explanation:

The break-even point is the level of activity that a business must operate to equate total revenue to total cost . At the break even point, the business makes no profit or loss., and the total contribution is equal to total fixed cost

The break-even point is calculated as follows:

Total general fixed cost/(selling price - variable cost)

Break-even point = 60,000/(22-12)=6000  units

Product B

Beak-even point = 75,000/(22-10)=6250  units

                                          Break-event point

Product A                                      6,000 units

Product B                                      6,250 units

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.

Answers

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

Answer:

b. Now assume the firm issues $50,000 of debt paying interest of 6% per year, using the proceeds to retire equity. The debt is expected to be permanent. What will happen to the total value of the firm (debt plus equity)?

$200,123

c. Recompute your answer to (b) under the following assumptions: The debt issue raises the probability of bankruptcy. The firm has a 30% chance of going bankrupt after 3 years. If it does go bankrupt, it will incur bankruptcy costs of $200,000. The discount rate is 10%. Should the firm issue the debt?

The firm should not issue the debt because the risk of bankruptcy eliminates any possible gains obtained from issuing debt. It actually decreases the value of equity.

Explanation:

the firm's current value = [EBIT x (1 - tax rate)] / WACC = [$25,000 x 0.65] / 10% = $162,500

firm's new WACC = ($112,500/$162,500 x 10%) + ($50,000/$162,500 x 6% x 0.65) = 6.92% + 1.2% = 8.12%

the firm's new value = [$25,000 x 0.65] / 8.12% = $200,123

expected cost of bankruptcy = (30% x $200,000) / 1.1³ = $45,079

firm's total value is still $200,123, but the stockholders' equity has been reduced from ($200,123 - $50,000 = $150,123) to $150,123 - $45,079 = $105,044

the gain from issuing debt will be eliminated due to the risk of bankruptcy, before equity had risen from $112,500 to $150,123, but now it decreases to $105,044.

The market value of the firm will be $162500.

Based on the information given, the market value will be calculated thus:

= [EBIT × (1 - Tax rate(] / WACC

= [25000 × (1 - 0.35)] / 10%

= [25000 × 0.65] / 0.10 = $162500

Since the firm's new WACC is 8.12%, then the new value of the firm will be:

= (25000 × 0.65) / 8.12%

= 200,123

Therefore, the total value of the firm is $200,123.

In conclusion, the firm should not issue the debt due to the fact that the risk of bankruptcy will eliminate the gains gotten from the issuance.
