Answer: 26.85%
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the firm's cost of internal equity will be calculated as:
Cost of equity = (D1/Current price) + Growth rate
= (4.90 / 26.00) + 8.0%
=(4.9/26) + 0.08
=26.85%
Therefore, the firm's cost of internal equity is 26.85%.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of keeping the strategic-planning process secret vs. placing the firm’s strategic plan on the corporate website and discussing strategies and planning publically? (2 main advantages and 2 main disadvantages)
Answer:
Answers are given below.
Explanation:
Advantages of keeping the strategic-planning process of a firm secret
1. The flaws or challenges of the firm will not be known to the general public or the firm's competitors.
2. The great ideas in the strategic plan will be known only to members of this firm. No other firm will be able to 'steal and quickly implement' these great ideas.
NOTE: The opposites of these statements are same as the disadvantages of making the strategic-planning process public.
Disadvantages of keeping the strategic-planning process of a firm secret

2. Discussing strategies and planning publically will fetch the firm some good ideas from the public, and also some new customers or clients.
NOTE: These statements are same as the advantages of making the strategic-planning process public.
In the short run, open-market purchases a. increase investment and real GDP, and decrease interest rates. b. increase real GDP and interest rates, and decrease investment. c. increase investment and interest rates, and decrease real GDP. d. decrease investment, interest rates, and real GDP.
Answer: a. increase investment and real GDP, and decrease interest rates.
Explanation:
During an Open Market Purchase, the central bank of the country would be buying back securities from the public which means that it would be infusing money into the economic system.
With an increased amount of money in the economy, people will be able to save more which means that interests rate will drop because there are now more loanable funds. This drop in interest rates will encourage more companies and people to borrow cash for investment which will then lead to a higher GDP.
In the short run, in the open-market purchase, there has been an increase in investment and real GDP and decreased interest rates. Thus option A is correct.
The interest rate has been the amount of interest lent onto the principal sum. The GDP has been the gross domestic product that has been the market value of the final products.
In the open-market purchase, there has been an increase in the amount of money in the market. The government has been buying the securities and results in the market flow of money. The market flow will eventually result in an increase in the GDP with the decreased interest rates.
Thus in the short run, in the open-market purchase, there has been an increase in investment and real GDP and decreased interest rates. Thus option A is correct.

Gamma Inc. manufactures Product X using a single raw material. The standard quantity of input for the month of February was 3,000 units of raw material for 1,000 units of Product X. The actual output for the month of February was 1,300 units. Compute the standard quantity of raw material for actual output (SQ) of Product X.
Answer: 3900 units
Explanation:
The standard quantity of raw material for actual output (SQ) of Product X will be calculated thus:
Standard quantity of raw material per unit will be calculated as the standard quantity of input for February divided by the standard units that was produced in February. This will be;
= 3000/1000
= 3 per unit
Then, the standard quantity of raw material for actual output will be:
= Actual output x Standard quantity of raw material per unit
= 1300 units x 3 per unit
= 3900 units
Flagstaff Company has budgeted production units of 8,000 for July and 8,200 for August. The direct materials requirement per unit is 3 ounces (oz.). The company has determined that it wants to have safety stock of direct materials on hand at the end of each month to complete 25% of the units budgeted in the following month. There was 6,000 ounces of direct material in inventory at the start of July. The total cost of direct materials purchases for the July direct materials budget, assuming the materials cost $1.20 per ounce, is:____________
A) $28,800.
B) $28,980.
C) $21,600.
D) $28,620.
E) $36,180.
Answer:B) $28,980.
Explanation:
Beginning inventory is 6,000 ounces
Closing inventory = 8,200 × 3 ounces × 25% = 6,150ounces
Budgeted production = 8,000 × 3 ounces=24,000
Direct material to be purchased = Closing inventory + Budgeted production - Beginning inventory= 29,400 ounces
Direct material to be purchased = 6,150ounces +24,000- 6,000 ounces
= 24,150 ounces
Now,For $1.20 per pounce, it would be
= 24,150 ounces × $1.20
= $28,980.
Outstanding Stock Lars Corporation shows the following information in the stockholders' equity section of its balance sheet: The par value of common stock is $5, and the total balance in the Common Stock account is $225,000. There are 13,000 shares of treasury stock. Required: What is the number of shares outstanding? fill in the blank 1 shares
Answer:
32,000 shares
Explanation:
Note that the value of the treasury stock is usually deducted from the total stockholders' equity which means that in a bid to ascertain the number of shares outstanding we need to deduct the number of shares held in treasury stock.
The number of shares without treasury stock=common stock account balance/par value per share
The number of shares without treasury stock=$225,000/$5
The number of shares without treasury stock=45,000 shares
The number of shares considering treasury stock=45,000-13,000
The number of shares considering treasury stock=32,000
Dickinson Company has $11,880,000 million in assets. Currently half of these assets are financed with long-term debt at 9.4 percent and half with common stock having a par value of $8. Ms. Smith, Vice-President of Finance, wishes to analyze two refinancing plans, one with more debt (D) and one with more equity (E). The company earns a return on assets before interest and taxes of 9.4 percent. The tax rate is 40 percent. Tax loss carryover provisions apply, so negative tax amounts are permissable.
Under Plan D, a $2,970,000 million long-term bond would be sold at an interest rate of 11.4 percent and 371,250 shares of stock would be purchased in the market at $8 per share and retired.
Under Plan E, 371,250 shares of stock would be sold at $8 per share and the $2,970,000 in proceedswould be used to reduce long-term debt.

An owner lists her home at a 7% commission rate and wants to net $45,000 after paying the mortgage balance of $68,000 and the broker's commission. To the nearest dollar, what should the selling price be to net her $45,000
Answer: $121505
Explanation:
Let the selling price be represented by x.
Then the broker's commission will be:
= 7% of x = 0.07 × x = 0.07x
Based on the information given,
Selling price - (Mortgage balance + Broker's commission) = $45000
Therefore, x - ($68000 + 0.07x) = $45000
x - $68000 - 0.07x = $45000
x - 0.07x = $45000 + $68000
0.93x = $113000
x = $113000/0.93
x = $121505
Therefore, the selling price is $121505

To meet projected annual sales, Bluegill Manufacturers, Inc. needs to produce 75,000 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 7,000 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 12,000 units. What are projected sales units for the year? fill in the blank 1 units
Answer: 70,000 units
Explanation:
You can use the formula for the ending inventory to get this:
Ending inventory = Opening inventory + Production for the year - Projected sales
12,000 = 7,000 + 75,000 - Projected sales
12,000 + Projected sales = 82,000
Projected sales = 82,000 - 12,000
Projected sales = 70,000 units
Galaxy Air, previously a no-growth firm, has two million shares outstanding. Until now, it consistently earned $20 million per year on its assets. (It has no debt and pays out all earnings as dividends. Its cost of capital is 10 percent.) Due to its newly appointed CEO, Galaxy Air is now able to squeeze out 1 percent annual growth by plowing back 5 percent of earnings. Calculate its stock price per share
Answer: $106.61
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the information given:
Net Income = $20
Weighted Average no. of shares = 2
Earning per share (EPS) = $20/2 = $10
DPS =(100% - 5%) of EPS
= 95% × $10 = $9.5
Growth Rate (g) = 1%
Cost of equity (Ke) = 10%
DPS1 = [9.5 × (1+0.01)] = 9.595
Price of Stock will now be
= Po = DPS1/(Ke-g)
= 9.595/(0.10-0.01)
= 106.61

Explanation:
Here the solution is given as follows,
Estimated inventory (units), March 1 17,000 Desired inventory (units), March 31 19,700 Expected sales volume (units): Area M 6,500 Area L 8,900 Area O 7,800 Unit sales price $15 The number of units expected to be manufactured in March is a.23,200 b.59,900 c.25,900 d.42,900
Answer:
c.25,900
Explanation:
The computation of the no of units expected to be manufactured is given below:
No of units manufactured is
= No. of units sold + Closing units - Opening units
= (6,500 + 8,900 + 7,800) + 19,700 - 17,000
= 25,900
Hence, the no of units expected to be manufactured is 25,900
Therefore the option c is correct

The following information pertains to Nova Co.'s cost-volume-profit relationships:
Breakeven point in units sold ………………………….. 2,000
Variable expenses per unit ……………………………… 500
Total fixed expenses …………………………………… $150,000
How much will be contributed to net operating income by the 2,001st unit sold?
A. $ 65
B. $ 75
C. $150
D. $ 0
Answer: $150
Explanation:
Breakeven point in units sold = 2,000
Variable expenses per unit = 500
Total fixed expenses = $150,000
The break even in units is calculated as:
= Fixed Cost / Contribution per Unit
Therefore,
1000 = 150000/ Contribution per unit
Contribution per Unit will now be:
= 150000 / 1000
= 150
It should be noted that after the break even point, every unit sold will lead to an increase in the contribution per unit to the net operating income. Therefore, the amount that'll be contributed to net operating income by the 2,001st unit sold is $150.
Dennis Rodman has a $5,000 debt balance on his Visa card that charges 10. 7 percent compounded monthly. Dennis's current minimum monthly payment is 5 perent of his debt balance, which is $250.
How many months (round up) will it take Dennis to pay off his credit card if he pays the current minimum payment of $250 at the end of each month?
How many months will it take Dennis to pay off his credit card?
Answer: 22.13 months
Explanation:
The number of months that it will take Dennis to pay off his credit card will be calculated thus:
Balance amount = $5000
Monthly payment = $250
Interest rate = 10.7%/12 = 0.89%
The number of months will be:
= NPER(0.89, -250, 5000, 0).
= 22.13 months
MC Qu. 138 Fortune Company's direct materials... Fortune Company's direct materials budget shows the following cost of materials to be purchased for the coming three months:JanuaryFebruaryMarch Material purchases$ 13,18015,29012,110 Payments for purchases are expected to be made 50% in the month of purchase and 50% in the month following purchase. The December Accounts Payable balance is $7,900. The expected January 31 Accounts Payable balance is:
Answer:
The answer is "$6,590".

Answer: 5.90%
Explanation:
The pre-tax cost of debt refers to the yield on the bonds.
The Yield is calculated by the formula:
= (Annual coupon + (Face value - Present value) / Periods till maturity) ÷ ((Face value + Present value)/2)
Annual coupon = 6.5% * 1,000 = $65
Yield is:
= (65 + (1,000 - 1,056) / 13) ÷ ((1,000 + 1,056) / 2)
= 5.90%

4. Standard cost
Explanation:
Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
In Financial accounting, a direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.
On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.
1. Ideal standard: quantity of input required if a production process is 100% efficient.
2. Management by exception: Managing by focusing on large differences from standard costs.
3. Standard cost card: record that accumulates standard cost information.
4. Standard cost: preset cost for delivering a product or service under normal conditions.
Dehner Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data:
Total direct labor-hours 85,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $306,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct
labor-hour $ .00
Recently, Job P951 was completed with the following characteristics:
Number of units in the job $5
Total direct labor-hours $100
Direct materials $700
Direct labor cost $8,500
The total job cost for Job P951 is closest to:_____.
a. $9.200.
b. $1,660.
c. $9,460.
d. $10,160.
Answer:
Total cost= $10,160
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (306,000/85,000) + 6
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.6
Now, we can allocate overhead to Job P951, and calculate the total cost:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 9.6*100
Allocated MOH=$960
Total cost= 700 + 8,500 + 960
Total cost= $10,160
