Evans Ltd. is now considering the possibility of offering a lifetime membership option to its subscribers. Under this proposal, subscribers could receive the monthly newsletter throughout their lives by paying a flat fee of $480. The one-year subscription rate of $40 would continue to apply to new and existing subscribers who choose to subscribe on an annual basis. Assume that the average age of Evans Ltd.'s current subscribers is 38 and their average life expectancy is 78 years. Evans Ltd.'s average interest rate on long-term debt is 12%.
Using the information given, calculate the present value of a lifetime membership for an average. (Round PV factors to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answers
Answer: $329.75
Explanation:
The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,
= 78 - 38
= 40 years
Evans Ltd average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.
I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.
The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.
The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,
= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)
= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)
= $329.752
= $329.75
This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.

Answer:
1. A free weight station in a fitness room that is open to the public (common resource)
2. A large, beautiful fountain in a town square (public goods)
3. A new drum set for you to play in your friend's band (private good)
Explanation:
Before we look into the different types of goods, let us define the terms associated with goods:
Rival: A good is said to be rival, if its consumption by one consumer prevents simultaneous consumption by another consumer.
Excludable: An excludable good is one for which access is not provided by the owner or seller, to a consumer who has not paid for it or who has not met certain requirements for its use.
Now let us define the different types of goods:
a. Private goods: these goods are excludable and rival. This means that the owners can prevent certain individuals from using them and their use prevents simultaneous use by other consumers. These goods are usually limited in quantity. in our example, A new drum set for you to play in your friend's band meets these requirements. other examples include food, clothes et.
b. public good: these goods are non-excludable and non-rival. These goods can be used simultaneously by many individuals and restrictions to use are virtually absent on them. A large, beautiful fountain in a town square meets these criteria. other examples include air, street lights etc.
c. common resource: These products are non-excludable (restriction to use is absent) and rival (use by an individual can prevent simultaneous use by others). if an individual is using A free weight station in a fitness room that is open to the public, other individuals will have to wait for their turn, even if they do not pay for it.
d. club good: these goods or services are excludable (paid for before use) but non rival (multiple consumers can use them simultaneously). Examples include cable television, internet services, cinemas etc.

Answers
Answer:
Using the high-low method of cost estimation, total fixed costs are $47,020
Explanation:
Cost at highest level of activity = $82,000.00
Cost at Lowest level of activity = $59,000.00
Highest level of activity = 3,300
Lowest Level of activity = 1,130
Variable cost per unit = $(82,000 - 59,000) ÷ (3,300 -1,130)
Variable cost per unit = $23,000 ÷ 2,170
Variable cost per unit = $10.60
Fixed Costs = $82,000 - (3,300 × 10.60)
Fixed Costs = $47,020

What factors would discourage you from pursuing a diversification strategy with another firm and why?
Answers
Answer: provided in the explanation section
Explanation:
The process of diversification has to do with connecting to new business opportunity with the existing business. This business startegy helps the company to enter a new area of the market in which it is not currently working. The risk associated with it can or may not provide extraordinary benefits.
In these cases, there are positive factors that encourage diversification-
Other companies will handle the losses in the current company.
Unpleasant surprises can be offset by market diversification.
The resources used under these can be used in sports shoe styling in game simulation companies such as background designers, creative team and so on.
The customer base would be more like that, thereby reducing the attempt of the company to shape a whole new customer base.
If the gaming business starts to decline at any time, all its resources can be used in this new business.
There are always, however, factors which prevent such diversifications.
This can restrict business growth opportunities in the gaming sector as new companies can get investment that is needed to be more competitive.
More new skilled employees, equipment and resources will be needed as the production requires a whole new set of know-how and equipment.
A poorly managed diversification will cause existing businesses to suffer.
As this is a broad horizontal diversification, they can not respond with the same speed to market changes.

Max : 200words
Answers
Answer:
New products suffer through five development stages throughout the product lifecycle.
Explanation:
Manufacturing a new product isn't easy for any company. There is always uncertainty whether that product will run successfully as per customer needs.
Stage 1: Idea
Every product development starts with an idea you need to get an idea about the market and about the customer needs. you need to find out what market requires the most. As soon as you got the idea you can jump to the next step.
Stage 2: Research
In this step, the company conducts market surveys about the product idea. The company has to provide samples to market to check their product is working perfectly or whether it requires some changes and how customers are responding. The company has to collect reviews from customers.
Stage 3: Marketing
Once the company got the customer reviews and they are positive then its time to tell the world about the product but the company has to analyze the 4 Ps that are price, place, promotion, and product. The company has to consider these Ps in marketing stage.
Stage 4: Business Analysis
This is a very important step where a company finds out about the factors about the product such as the product's profitability. Whether the product is profitable enough to carry on marketing activities.

Victor Rumsfeld Inc.'s dividend policy is under review by its board. Its projected capital budget is $2,000,000, its target capital structure is 60% debt and 40% equity, and its forecasted net income is $300,000. If the company follows a residual dividend policy, what total dividends, if any, will it pay out? Select the correct answer.
Answers
Answer:
The multiple choices are
a. $240,000
b. $228,000
c. $216,600
d.$205,770
e. $0
The correct option is E,$0
Explanation:
The funding required from equity is 40% of the projected capital budget of $2000,000 which is expected to be from the profit attributable to stockholders since new issue of shares is not contemplated.
In other words, dividends payable to shareholders is the net income less their counter funding of the project which is computed below:
residual dividends=net income-(equity%*capital outlay)
residual dividends=$300,000-(40%*$2000,000)
=$300,000-$800,000=$0
In essence the $300,000 is not even enough as funds expected from equity less alone paying excess as dividend

3. Assume that the dividend from Part B will be paid out one year from today. After the initial dividend from part B is paid, the dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 4% per year. Investors require a 10% return on their investment, what is the current share price?
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of Earnings Before Interest and taxes, Taxable income and Net income is shown below:-
Earnings Before Interest = Revenue from sales - Cost of goods sold - Depreciation
= $70,000 - $35,000 - $16,000
= $19,000
Taxable Income = Earnings Before Interest - Interest paid
= $19,000 - $450
= $18,550
Net Income = Taxable Income - Taxes
= $18,550 - ($18,550 × 34%)
= $18,550 - $6,307
= $12,243
2. The computation of dividend per share is shown below:-
Dividend per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares outstanding
= $12,243 ÷ 4,000 million
= $3.06
3. The computation of current share price is shown below:-
Current share price = Current dividend ÷ (Expected return - Growth rate)
= $3.06 ÷ (10% - 4%)
= $3.06 ÷ 6%
= $51
Therefore we have applied the above formula.

Answer:
The IRR of this investment opportunity is 10%
The IRR rule says that you should not invest
Explanation:
To calculate the IRR of this investment opportunity we shall calculate the following:
Let the IRR be x.
Now , Present Value of Cash Outflows=Present Value of Cash Inflows
110,000 =121,000/(1.0x)
x= 10%
Hence, the IRR of this investment opportunity is 10%
Cost of Capital = 17%
The IRR rule says that one must not accept. This is because the IRR is lower than the cost of capital.
Hence you should not invest

margin of safety in $ = $633,550margin of safety in % = 36.55%4. What does this tell you about the risk of McKnight making a loss? What are the most likely reasons for this risk to increase?
Since the contribution margin is relatively high, this means that the production costs are relatively low (compared to selling price). The associated risks may come from high leverage, e.g. machinery purchased on credit that results in high interest expense. For the most part, having a high contribution margin is generally very good, just ask Apple.Explanation:
break even point is $ = $1,100,000 (= break even point units x selling price)
fixed costs = $660,000
contribution margin % = (total sales - total variable costs) / total sales
total variable costs = $1,100,000 - $660,000 = $440,000
contribution margin % = ($1,100,000 - $660,000) / $1,100,000 = 40%
variable costs = $16 per unit
0.4 = (x - $16) / x
0.4x = x - $16
$16 = 0.6x
x = $26.67
65,000 x $26.67 = $1,733,550
margin of safety in $ = $1,733,550 - $1,100,000 = $633,550
margin of safety in % = $633,550 / $1,733,550 = 36.55%

You just made the last monthly payment on a 30 year mortgage -- the house is yours! In your joyous moment, you calculate how much you made in payments over those 30 years, and it is $647,514! If your interest rate was an APR of 6%, and you made equal monthly payments, how much did you originally borrow for this house
Answers
Answer:
$112,807
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of money you borrowed, you have to use the formula to calculate the present value:
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV= pressent value
FV= future value= 647,514
r= rate= 6%
n= number of periods of time= 30
PV=647,514/(1+0.06)^30
PV=647,514/(1.06)^30
PV=647,514/5.74
PV=112,807
According to this, you originally borrowed $112,807 for this house.
Orange Corporation acquired new office furniture on August 15, 2018, for $130,000. Orange does not elect immediate expensing under § 179. Orange claims any available additional first-year depreciation. If required, round your answer to the nearest dollar.
a. Determine Orange's cost recovery for 2018
The office furniture is classified as a seven-year class of property for MACRS. If bonus depreciation is elected, Orange's deduction is
b. Determine Orange's cost recovery for 2018 if Orange decided to only use $52,000 of bonus depreciation and normal MACRS on the balance of the acquisition cost.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
a) The asset is purchased in 2018.
In 2018, bonus depreciation % has been increased from 50% to 100%. If bonus depreciation is elected Orange Corporation can deduct 100% of Purchase cost of $130,000.
The office furniture is classified as seven year class of property for MACRs. If bonus depreciation is elected Orange's deduction is $130,000
= $130,000
b) if Orange decides to use only $52,000 of bonus depreciation, it can claim depreciation (MACRS) on balance amount of acquisition cost.
Cost Recovery for 2018:
Bonus depreciation = $52,000
MACRS Depreciation [($130,000 - $52,000) * 14.29%]= $11,146.20
Hence, Cost Recovery for 2018 = Bonus depreciation + MACRS Depreciation
= $52,000 + $11,146.20
= $63,146 (rounded off to nearest dollar)
Ronald, Inc. had the following balances and transactions during 2017: What is the amount of the company's Merchandise Inventory, as disclosed in the December 31, 2017 balance sheet, using the periodic weighted-average inventory costing method
Answers
Answer: $707
Explanation:
Using the Periodic System means that inventory is updated per period. This means that using the Weighted Average method, Ending Inventory prices will be calculated on the basis of all inventory in the period.
Weighted Average Method aims to ascribe a single price to all the inventory units sold by a company and so divides the entire cost by the number of units.
Number of Units bought in 2017,
Opening Balance = 12 units
June 10 = 24 units.
= 12 + 24
= 36 units.
Cost of the the 36 units
= (12 * 91) + (24 * 87)
= $3,180
Weighted Average Cost,
= 3,180/36
= $88.33
During the year they sold 28 units (10 + 18) meaning that 8 units (36 - 28) were left.
The closing Inventory on the 12/31/2020 therefore is,
= 8 * 88.33
= $706.66
= $707
At the end of the year, Ilberg Company provided the following actual information:
Overhead $423,600
Direct labor cost 532,000
Ilberg uses normal costing and applies overhead at the rate of 80% of direct labor cost. At the end of the year, Cost of Goods Sold (before adjusting for any overhead variance) was $1,890,000.
Required:
a. Dispose of the overhead variance by adjusting Cost of Goods Sold.
b. Calculate the overhead variance for the year.
Answers
Answer:
Adjusted cost of goods sold =$ 1,888,000
Overhead variance = 2,000 favorable
Explanation:
Overhead variance:
is the difference between the absorbed overhead and the actual overhead.
Absorbed overhead = OAR × direct labor cost
= 80% × 532,000 = $425,600
Over absorbed overhead = absorbed overhead - Actual overhead
= 425,600 - 423,600 = 2,000 over-absorbed
Overhead variance = 2,000 favorable
Adjusted cost of goods sold
= cost of goods sold - over absorbed overheads
= 1,890,000 - 2,000 =$ 1,888,000
Which of the following is a disadvantage of growth by means of external growth strategies? Group of answer choices Diversification of business risk Economies of scale Getting access to proprietary products or services Reducing competition Loss of organizational flexibility
Answers
Answer:
- Loss of organizational flexibility
- Diversification of business
Explanation:
Remember, External growth strategies unlike the Internal growth strategies involves using external assistance to grow the organization, such as merging or acquiring other companies, franchising or forming joint ventures.
In such a case, organisational flexibility could be lost since the organization becomes more complex as a result of bringing in more people into the organization. Also, another disadvantage is that with a restructured management team, the business may experience unexpected diversification into other products as in the case of joint ventures.
For each of the following cases determine the ending balance in the inventory account. (Hint: First, determine the total cost of inventory available for sale. Next, subtract the cost of the inventory sold to arrive at the ending balance.) a. Jill’s Dress Shop had a beginning balance in its inventory account of $40,000. During the accounting period, Jill’s purchased $75,000 of inventory, returned $5,000 of inventory, and obtained $750 of purchases discounts. Jill’s incurred $1,000 of transportation-in cost and $600 of transportation-out cost. Salaries of sales personnel amounted to $31,000. Administrative expenses amounted to $35,600. Cost of goods sold amounted to $82,300. b. Ken’s Bait Shop had a beginning balance in its inventory account of $8,000. During the accounting period, Ken’s purchased $36,900 of inventory, obtained $1,200 of purchases allowances, and received $360 of purchases discounts. Sales discounts amounted to $640. Ken’s incurred $900 of transportation-in cost and $260 of transportation-out cost. Selling and administrative cost amounted to $12,300. Cost of goods sold amounted to $33,900.
Answers
Answer:
Jill's Dress Shop:
Ending Inventory 27,950
Ken's Bait Shop:
Ending Inventory 10,340
Explanation:
Jill's Dress Shop:
Beginning 40,000
Purchases 75,000
Returned (5,000)
Discounts (750)
Freight-In 1,000
Cost of Goods Sold (82,300)
Ending Inventory 27,950
Ken's Bait Shop
Beginning 8,000
Purchases 36,900
Allowances (1,200)
Discounts (360)
Freight-In 900
Cost of Goods Sold (33,900)
Ending Inventory 10,340
The freight-out and sales discount have an impact in net sales and selling expenses they do not constitute part of the inventory as are relatedto the sale of the goods rather than acquisition.
Answer:
Determination of Ending Inventory:a) Beginning Inventory = $40,000
Purchases = $75,000
Purchases Return = ($5,000)
Purchases Discounts = ($750)
Freight-in = $1,000
Cost of Goods Available$110,250
less cost of goods sold ($82,300)
Ending Inventory $27,950
b) Beginning Inventory = $8,000
Purchases = $36,900
Purchases Return = ($1,200)
Purchases Discounts = ($360)
Freight-in = $900
Cost of Goods Available $44,240
less cost of goods sold ($33,900)
Ending Inventory $10,340
Explanation:
a) Ending inventory represents the value of goods available for sale and held by a company at the end of an accounting period. It is calculated as follows: Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases - Cost of Goods Sold (or COGS) = Ending Inventory. The value of goods available for sale at the end of the accounting period is important in reporting the financial status of any trading or producing company.
b) The cost of goods available for sale includes the beginning inventory, the net purchases of inventory, and the freight-in during the period.
MGM Resorts Incorporated is expected to grow at an exceptionally high rate over the next 2 years due to the success of Macau casino. Growth in dividends is expected to be 20% for the next 2 years before reverted back to a constant rate of 4% that is expected to continue indefinitely. If MGM Resorts’ paid a $1.20 dividend yesterday (D0=$1.20) and the stock is valued according to a required rate of return of 14%, what is the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today?
Answers
Answer:
The value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today will be $16.42
Explanation:
In order to calculate the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today we would have to calculate the following steps:
Step-1, Dividend for the next 2 years
Dividend per share in Year 0 (D0) = $1.20 per share
Dividend per share in Year 1 (D1) = $1.4400 per share [$1.20 x 120%]
Dividend per share in Year 2 (D2) = $1.7280 per share [$1.4400 x 120%]
Step-2, Share Price in Year 2
Dividend Growth Rate after Year 2 (g) = 4.00% per year
Required Rate of Return (Ke) = 14.00%
Share Price in Year 2 (P2) = D2(1 + g) / (Ke – g)
= $1.7280(1 + 0.04) / (0.14 – 0.04)
= $1.7971 / 0.10
= $17.97 per share
Step-3, The Current Stock Price
As per Dividend Discount Model, Current Stock Price the aggregate of the Present Value of the future dividend payments and the present value the share price in year 2
Year Cash flow ($) PVF at 14.00% Present Value of cash flows ($)
[Cash flows x PVF]
1 1.4400 0.877193 1.26
2 1.7280 0.769468 1.33
2 17.97 0.769468 13.83
TOTAL 16.42
Hence, the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today will be $16.42
Assume there are 1000 homes in a flood zone in an area in which sea levels are rising. An additional 1000 homes are above the flood zone and at less risk. A levee could be built to prevent the rise in sea level from affecting the homes. It is worth $20,000 per home in the flood zone to have the levee built. It is worth $5,000 per home not in the flood zone to have the levee built. The levee costs $22,000,000 to build. Which of these makes the most economic sense?
A. The government should leave this to the free market.
B. The free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable. So the government may have to intervene and force homeowners to pay through taxes to fund the levee as the benefits exceed the costs.
C. The free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable. However the benefits do not exceed the costs anyway so there is no need for the government to intervene.
D. The free market will have some difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival. However it is excludable. So there is only a partial argument for government intervention here.
Answers
Answer: The free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable. So the government may have to intervene and force homeowners to pay through taxes to fund the levee as the benefits exceed the costs.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that if there are 1000 homes in a flood zone in an area whereby the sea levels are rising and there's an additional 1000 homes that are above the flood zone and are at less risk. Since the levee costs $22,000,000 to build, the best thing to do economic sense will be that the free market will have difficulty building the levee because the levee is non-rival and non-excludable.
It should be noted that in a free market, decisions are made by individuals through price signals and forces of demand and supply. Therefore since this is a public good as it is non rival and non excludeable, there will be need for the intervention of the government in order to collect taxes from the homeowners.

For the next 2 questions, use the financials of Acme Corporation. After adjusting revenue for accounts receivable and deferred revenue, how much cash did Acme generate from revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2017
Answers
Answer: B. $892.1 million
Explanation:
The Revenue was $939,393 million
When calculating how much cash was generated any increase to the Accounts Receivables is removed from the revenue because it signifies that more sales were made on credit and so have not given the business cash yet.
Any increase in Deferred Revenue must be added because this is Cash that has been given to the business but for accrual purposes cannot be recognized yet. Bottomline however, the Cash has been received.
Increase in Receivables = 309,196 - 221,504
= $87,692 million
Increase in Deferred Revenue= 374,730 - 334,358
= $40,372 million
The Cash generated is therefore;
= 939,393 - 87,692 + 40,372
= $892,073
= $892.1 million
I have attached the Financial Statements of Acme Corporation.

Answers
Answer: Such flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only non-profit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks
Explanation:
One reason that can make the federal ggovernment to bail out farmers in the flood prone areas of the country will be in a situation whereby the flooding is not flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only non-profit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks.
In this situation since the risk associated with the flooding can't be diversified, this can lead to profit making entities to run from bailing out the farmers because they'll believe there's nothing to gain for them so it might be left for the government to take charge and help out.
10. Define transfer pricing. Describe at least two methods of defending transfer prices if they are challenged by tax authorities. How are transfer prices used in managing multinational tax exposures
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
(A) What is Transfer Pricing?
This is an accounting practice that sets prices for goods and services bought and sold between related entities.
(B) Two methods of defending transfer prices if they are challenged by tax authorities:
1. Treating the related or commonly controlled entities as if they are 2 independent entities.
2. Claiming that services rendered between the 2 related entities could not be priced.
(C) How are transfer prices used in managing multinational tax exposures?
- Transfer Prices help reduce import and export duties. They are used to manage multinational tax exposures by exporting or shipping the goods at a low transfer price, to subsidiaries or related entities in countries with high tariff rates.
- It reduces income taxes and corporate taxes in high tax countries, by overpricing goods that are sold/transferred to subsidiaries in countries with low tax rate.
