Answer: $912,000
Explanation:
The cost of goods sold for the year will be:
Beginning inventory = $53,000
Add: Purchases = ($208,000 + $128,000 + $158,000 + $408,000) = $902,000
Cost of goods available for sale = $955,000
Less: Ending inventory = ($43,000)
Cost of goods sold = $912,000
Kermit plans to open a boutique. The initial investment is $10,000. He has to spend $1,500 in annual operations and maintenance. The boutique generates $3,000 in revenues every year. Kermit uses a 10 year planning horizon and a MARR of 12%. The correctly calculated Rate of Return for this project is ________________%.
Answer:
8.14
Explanation:
The Rate of Return is 8.14 from my calculations which you can find in the attached file.
Now since the Rate of return is 8.14. Which is less than MARR of 12%, it shows that investment is not good.
Year Initial Annual Maintenance Annual Revenue Total Cash Flow
0 -$10,000 -$10,000
1 -$1,500 $3,000 $1,500
2 -$1,500 $3,000 $1,500
3 -$1,500 $3,000 $1,500
4 -$1,500 $3,000 $1,500
5 -$1,500 $3,000 $1,500
6 -$1,500 $3,000 $1,500
7 -$1,500 $3,000 $1,500
8 -$1,500 $3,000 $1,500
9 -$1,500 $3,000 $1,500
10 -$1,500 $3,000 $1,500
Internal Rate of Return 8.1442% [IRR() in excel]

Competitive advantage refers to a manner in which rivalry between rivals can be created. The benefit for the consumer is improved by both lower prices and more advantages and services which support higher pricing.
In general, there are four possible ways for a company to differentiate–becoming the cost leader in a small or wide range of business activities (i.e., being the cheapest producer in the industry), and becoming a differentiation leader (i.e. competing in areas other than price valued by customers).
Therefore, correct option is C.

Following is information on two alternative investments being considered by Tiger Co. The company requires a 15% return from its investments. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Project X1 Project X2
Initial investment $ (98,000 ) $ (144,000 )
Expected net cash flows in:
Year 1 36,000 76,500
Year 2 46,500 66,500
Year 3 71,500 56,500
a. Compute each project's net present value.
b. Compute each project's profitability index. If the company can choose only one project, which should it choose?
Answer:
X1 NPV = $15,477.44
X2 NPV = $9,954.96
X1 PI = 1.16
X2 P2 = 1.07
X1 should be chosen
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
X1
Cash flow in year 0 = -98,000
Cash flow in year 1 = 36,000
Cash flow in year 2 = 46,500
Cash flow in year 3 = 71,500
I = 15%
NPV = 15,477.44
X2
Cash flow in year 0 = (144,000 )
Cash flow in year 1 = 76,500
Cash flow in year 2 = 66,500
Cash flow in year 3 = 56,500
I = 15%
NPV = 9954.96
profitability index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)
X1 - 1 + (15,477.44 / 98,000) = 1.16
X2 - 1 + (9954.96 / 144,000) = 1.07
X1 should be chosen because it has a higher NPV. this means that the project is more profitable than X2
To determine NPV using a financial calculator take the following steps:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

a. 270.10
b. 216.08
c. 105.27
d. 163.84
Answer:
b. $216.08
Explanation:
Fn = Fo * (1+g)^n
Fn = $250*(1.05)^7
Fn = $250*1.40710
Fn = $351.775
Nominal net returns = $351.775 * (1.04)^7
Nominal net returns = $351.775 * 1.315932
Nominal net returns = $462.912
After tax return = Nominal net returns * (1 - 20%)
After tax return = $462.912 * (1 - 0.2)
After tax return = $370.33
After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 0.1*(1 - 0.2)
After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 0.1*0.8
After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 0.08
After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 8%
PV after-tax net return in 7th year = After tax return * (1+8%)^-7
PV after-tax net return in 7th year = $370.33 * (1+0.08)^-7
PV after-tax net return in 7th year = $370.33 * 0.583490
PV after-tax net return in 7th year = $216.08

Required:
Estimate the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change.
Answer:
$9,240
Explanation:
Calculation to Estimate the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change
Using this formula
Net operating income = (CM ratio × Sales) - Fixed expenses
Let plug in the formula

Net operating income= $103,240 - $94,000
Net operating income= $9,240
Therefore the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change is $9,240

Northberg Company wants to maintain a minimum cash balance of $15,000. To maintain the $15,000 required balance, during August the company must: Group of answer choices Borrow $15,000. Repay $7,500. Repay $8,500. Borrow $7,500. Borrow $8,500.
Answer:
Borrow $7,500
Explanation:
The calculation of the amount that should be required to maintain the required balance is given below:
Preliminary cash balance
= Opening balance + Cash receipts - Cash disbursements
= $16,000 + $126,000 - $134,500

Tristan transfers property with a tax basis of $1,255 and a fair market value of $1,570 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $1,255 and $276 in cash in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $39 on the property transferred. What is the corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange

Tin Roof's net cash flows for the next three years are projected at $72,000, $78,000, and $84,000, respectively. After that, the cash flows are expected to increase by 3.2 percent annually. What is the value of the firm if the WACC is 9.32%
Answer:
$1,279,622.65
Explanation:
The value of the company is the present value of its future cash flows for the three-year planning horizon plus the present value of its continuing value beyond year 3, all discounted using the WACC as the appropriate discount rate.
continuing value=year 3 cash flow*(1+terminal growth rate)/(WACC-terminal growth rate)
continuing value= $84,000*(1+3.2%)/(9.32%-3.2%)=$1,416,470.59
present value of continuing value=$1,416,470.59/(1+9.32%)^3=$1,084,198.23
present value of 3-year cash flows=$72000/(1+9.32%)^1+$78,000/(1+9.32%)^2+$84,000/(1+9.32%)^3
present value of 3-year cash flows=$195,424.42
value of the company=$1,084,198.23+$195,424.42
value of the company=$1,279,622.65

What is the annual effective interest rate on the bonds?
Answer:
7%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the annual effective interest rate on the bonds
Using this formula
Annual Stated interest = Annual cash interest / Face vale of bonds*100
Let plug in the formula
Annual Stated interest =($7000+$7000) / 200000*100
Annual Stated interest=$14,000/20,000
Annual Stated interest=7%
Therefore the annual effective interest rate on the bonds is 7%
On October 1, 2020 Sheffield Corp. issued 5%, 10-year bonds with a face value of $6140000 at 104. Interest is paid on October 1 and April 1, with any premiums or discounts amortized on a straight-line basis. Bond interest expense reported on the December 31, 2020 income statement of Sheffield Corp. would be:_________
Answer: $70610
Explanation:
Following the information given, the issue price of the bond will be:
= $6,140,000 × 1.04
= $6,385,600
The premium on bonds payables will be:
= $6,385,600 - $6,140,000
= $245,600
Cash interest Payables will be:
= 6,140,000 × 5% × 3/12
= $76,750
Bond Premium amortization for Each Year will be:
= 245,600 / 10
= $24,560
Then, the premium amortized will be:
= $24,560 × 3/12
= $6,140
Therefore, the interest expenses on Dec 31 will be:
= Cash interset Payables - Premium amortized
= $76,750 - $6,140
= $70,610

Carrying value of note = Face value of note - Interest remaining
Interest remaining = Face value * Periodic interest rate * Number of months remaining / Total number of months for note
= 510,000 * 8%/2 * 2 / 6 months
= $6,800
Carrying value of note = 510,000 - 6,800
= $503,200
Note: Note is for 6 months so periodic interest was divided by 2 to make it a semi-annual rate.
