Answer:
$11,000
Explanation:
The computation of the monthly increase in operating income is shown below:
= Sales volume × contribution margin ratio - additional spending done on the direct mail advertising
= $45,000 × 40% - $7,000
= $18,000 - $7,000
= $11,000
We simply applied the above formula so that the monthly increase in operating income could be determined.
Gloria Rose works at College of Austin and is paid $ 30 per hour for a 40-hour workweek and time-and-a-half for hours above 40. LOADING...(Click the icon to view payroll tax rate information.) Requirements 1. Compute Rose's gross pay for working 60 hours during the first week of February. 2. Rose is single, and her income tax withholding is 20 % of total pay. Rose's only payroll deductions are payroll taxes. Compute Rose's net (take-home) pay for the week. Assume Rose's earnings to date are less than the OASDI limit. 3. Journalize the accrual of salaries and wages expense and the payments related to the employment of Gloria Rose. Requirement 1. Compute Rose's gross pay for working 60 hours during the first week of February. Gross Pay
Answer and Explanation:
1. The gross pay is
Straight time pay
= 40 hours × $30 per hour
= $1,200
overtime pay
= 40 hours × $30 per hour × 1.5
= $1,800
So, the total gross pay is
= $1,200 + $1,800
= $3,000
2. Now the net take home pay is
Gross pay $3,000
Less: deductions
Income tax withholding (20%) -$600
Employee OASDI tax (6.2%) -$186
Employee medicare tax (1.45%) -$43.50
Net take home pay $2,170.50
3. Now the journal entries are
Wages expense $3,000
To Income tax payable $600
To Employee OASDI tax payable $186
To Employee medicare tax payable $43.50
To wages payable $2,170.50
(Being the wages expense is recorded)
We debited the expenses as it increased the expenses and credited all liabilities it increased the liabilities
Wages payable Dr $2,170.50
To cash $2,170.50
(being cash paid is recorded)
For recording this we debited the wages payable as it reduced the liabilities and credited the cash as it also reduced the current assets
Anson Jackson Court Company (AJC) The Anson Jackson Court Company (AJC) currently has $200,000 market value (and book value) of perpetual debt outstanding carrying a coupon rate of 6%. Its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are $100,000, and it is a zero growth company. AJC's current cost of equity is 8.8%, and its tax rate is 40%. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding selling at a price per share of $60.00. Refer to the data for the Anson Jackson Court Company (AJC). Now assume that AJC is considering changing from its original capital structure to a new capital structure with 50% debt and 50% equity. If it makes this change, its resulting market value would be $820,000. What would be its new stock price per share?
Answer:
The new stock price per share would be $62
Explanation:
In order to calculate the new stock price per share we would have to calculate first the value of the firm as follows:
value of the firm=value of equity+value of debt
value of the firm=(60*10,000)+$200,000
value of the firm=$800,000
If the company makes 50% debt and 50% equity, the market value will increase to $820,000 that is value of equity=$820,000-$200,000=$620,000
Therefore, new stock price per share will be=$620,000/10,000
new stock price per share=$62
Introduction to the future value of money. Under the concepts of the time value of money, you can determine the future value of an amount invested today that will earn a given interest rate over a given amount of time. This technique can be used to calculate the future value of:
(1) a single receipt or payment made
(2) a series of receipts or payments.
Lexi and Luke are sitting together, with their notebooks and textbooks open, at a coffee shop. They've been reviewing the latest lecture from Dr. Thibodeaux's financial management class by asking each other questions Today's topic addressed the calculation of future values for both simple and compound interest-earning accounts. Complete the missing information in the conversation that follows. Round your final answer to all computations to two decimal places. However, if you compute any interest factors as an intermediate step in your calculations, round them to four decimal places.
Lexi So, why is it important to be able to calculate the future value of some amount invested?
Luke First, remember that the amount invested is usually called _______maturity payment and the amount earned during the investment period is called_________interest.It is important to be able to calculate a future value so that you can know in advance what a given amount of principal will be worth after earning a specified________ interest rate for a known_________
Lexi OK, I understand that, and I know the amount of principal invested today can be called the ________ value of the investment, whereas the amount realized after the passage of t period of time is called its _________ value. But what causes the present and future values to be different values?
Luke Two things cause the present and future values to be different amounts. First, the _________ earned during the investment period causes the future value to be greater than, equal to, or less than the present value. Second, the method used to calculate the interest earned-that is, whether the account pays ______________ interest-determines the________.
Answer:
Principal
interest
interest for a known period
present value
future value
interest
simple or compound interest
the amount by which the future value differs from the present value
Explanation:
The initial amount invested is known as the principal amount.
The increase over and above the principal invested is called interest.
The duration of the investment is the period which the interest is earned.
present value is the present worth of investment
future value is the future amount that the investment would worth after been invested for a known period

Eagle Adventures, Inc. stock is quite cyclical. In a boom economy, the stock is expected to return 30%, 12% in a normal economy, and negative (20%) in a recessionary period. The probability of a recession is 15%. There is a 30% chance of a boom economy. The remainder of the time, the economy will be at normal levels. What is the overall expected value of the returns on Eagle Adventures, Inc. stock
Answer:
Expected Value of the return = 12.6%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return is the weighted average of all the possible returns associated with an investment decision. The returns are weighted using the probability associated with their outcomes.
Expected return = WaRa + Wb+Rb + Wn+Rn
W- weight of the outcome, R - return of the outcome
W- Probability of the expected outcome, R- expected return under a circumstance
The probability of having a normal economy
Note that the sum of the probability of different outcomes should equal to one. Hence, the probability of economy being normal is
= 100% -(15%+30%)= 55%.
Expected Value of the return
(0.3× 30%) + (0.55× 12%) + (0.15 × -20%) =0.126
=0.126 × 100
= 12.6 %
Expected Value of the return = 12.6%
Peter Plaintiff’s son is killed while working overseas for a United States corporation that deals in proprietary petroleum extraction and production. Peter Plaintiff brings a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of his son’s estate against this corporation and requests a wide scope of business documents related to the corporation and its overseas operations under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). What defenses, if any, does the corporation have against revealing the requested information under the FOIA?
Answer and Explanation:
The defenses or protections the business has been against releasing the relevant documents underneath the FOIA include whether Peter Plaintiff's required documentation is private and confidential as well as the business is not allowed to release this detail to anyone outside the organization.Because the statement is available nondisclosure, the company has to safeguard and defend this relevant data, and therefore not start sharing it with someone outside the establishment.Agency theory presents some important managerial considerations. Broadly speaking, governance mechanisms need to assure alignment of incentives between principals and agents. The text provides an example of financial institutions in the situation of profits remaining within the firm while losses are paid by the public as a description of:________.A) a board of directors' problem.B) a challenge of information symmetry.C) a moral hazard problem.D) a private information problem.E) an adverse selection problem.
Answer: a moral hazard problem
Explanation:
Agency theory is a principle used to explain and resolve the issues in the relationship that exists between business principals and their agents. The relationship is usually the one between the shareholders who act as the principals, and the company executives who act as the agents.
When banks are bailed out through public funds for the excessive risky mortgage obligations or undue risk taking, this lead to increase in moral hazard. The gains of successful risk taking will stay with the private firm and the risks would be shared with the other parties.

a. Interest rates of newly issued government bonds rise
A. Stock and bond prices will rise
B. Stock and bond prices will fall
C. Stock prices will fall and bond prices could remain unchanged or rise
D. Stock prices will fall
E. Stock prices will increase
b. Inflation is forecasted to be much lower than previously expected in Recall the Fisher effect Assume for simplicity that this Information does not affect your forecast of the dollar value of the pharmaceutical company's future dividends and stock price
A. Stock prices will fall
B. Stock and bond prices will fall
C. Stock prices will increase
D. Stock and bond prices will rise
c. Large swings in the stock market increase mancalvestors concerns about market risk. (Assume that interest rates on neaty issued government bonds remain unchanged)
A. Stock and bond prices will fall
B. Stock and bond prices will rise
C. Stock prices will fall
D. Stock prices will increase
E. Stock prices will and bond prices could remam unchanged or rise
Answer: 1. B. Stock and bond prices will fall
2. D. Stock and bond prices will rise
3. E. Stock prices will fall and bond prices could remam unchanged or rise
Explanation:
1. When interest rates on Government bonds rise, this signifies a general rise in interest in the economy. When interest rates rise, consumers and companies such as the Pharmaceutical Research Company will have to cut back on spending because borrowing is now more expensive. This reduction in spending reduces Investment and therefore profits which will reduce the price of the company stock.
When interest rates rise, it is a standard principle that bond prices drop. This is because bonds pay a fixed rate therefore when interest rates rise, it signifies that bonds are not paying enough and so the demand reduces as people are always looking for better returns which leads to a drop in price.
2. As a result of inflation being less than previously thought, it means that bonds and stocks are providing a better return per dollar because inflation will not erode the value of the returns. When the market realises this they will flock to purchase both stocks and bonds which will lead to a price increase.
3. When there are large swings in the stock market, this signifies Market volatility. Market volatility signifies risk and when this happens risk averse investors will flee from the stock market which will have the effect of reducing the prices of stock as they are sold off. If interest rates on the newly issued Government bonds remain unchanged, people that are fleeing the stock market might invest in the bonds instead which will cause their price to rise as more are bought. However, there is a chance that the investors fleeing might not view the interest rates offered by the government bonds and so will not invest leading to the price of the bonds not changing dude to stable demand.

QS 3-7 Adjusting prepaid (deferred) expenses LO P1 For each separate case, record the necessary adjusting entry. On July 1, Lopez Company paid $2,900 for six months of insurance coverage. No adjustments have been made to the Prepaid Insurance account, and it is now December 31. Zim Company has a Supplies account balance of $8,400 at the beginning of the year. During the year, it purchased $3,700 of supplies. As of December 31, a physical count of supplies shows $1,650 of supplies available. Prepare the year-end adjusting entries to reflect expiration of the insurance and correctly report the balance of the Supplies account and the Supplies Expense account as of December 31.
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entries:
December 31:
Debit Insurance Expense $2,900
Credit Prepaid Insurance Account $2,900
To record the insurance expense for the year.
Debit Supplies Expense $10,450
Credit Supplies Account $10,450
To record the supplies expense for the year.
Explanation:
a) The whole portion of Prepaid Insurance has expired since payment was made for 6 months on July 1. This covers the period from July 1 to December 31.
b) The total supplies inventory for the year will be $12,100 ($8,400 + 3,700). Since the physical count shows $1,650 of supplies available, it means that the difference $10,450 ($12,100 - 1,650) had been used. This portion is therefore expensed in accordance with the accrual concept.

1. The free cash flow for the first year of Epiphany's project is closest to:________
A. $43,000
B. $25,000
C. $13,000
D. $45,000
2. The NPV for Epiphany's Project is closest to:_______
A. $4,800
B. $39,000
C. $13,300
D. $20,400
Answer:
FCF years 1 is $43,000
NPV is $13,300
Explanation:
The free cash flow for the first year=net income+depreciation-Capital exp
net income is $13,000
depreciation is $30,000
capital exp for the first year is nil
the free cash flow=$13,000+$30,000+$0=$43,000
FCF year zero=-$90,000
the FCF for year1 applies to years 2 and 3 as well
NPV=-$90,000+$43,000/(1+12%)^1+$43,000/(1+12%)^2+$43,000/(1+12%)^3=
$13,278.74
The closest option is $13,300
If an advertiser bids $4.75 CPM and another advertiser bids $0.50 per CPC with a click rate of 1%, the display network would award the ad space to A. the CPM bidder because the network would earn $4.75 versus only 50 cents with the CPC bidder BY. the CPM bidder since the network has no idea how many click throughs the CPM bidder will get C. the CPC bidder because the 1% click through rate would produce $5.00 over 1,000 impressions D. the CPC bidder because the $0.50 per click rate would produce an income of $50.00 versus only $4.75 for the CPM bidder
Answer: C. the CPC bidder because the 1% click through rate would produce $5.00 over 1,000 impressions
Explanation:
From the question, an advertiser bids $4.75 cost per thousand impressions (CPM) while another advertiser bids $0.50 per CPC with a click rate of 1%. Over 1000 impressions, the second advertiser bids will produce:
= $0.50 × 1% × 1000
= $0.50 × 0.01 × 1000
= $5
Based on the analysis above, the CPC bidder will be awarded the advertisement space because the 1% click through rate would give $5.00 over 1,000 impressions.
A company had the following partial list of account balances at year-end: Sales Returns and Allowances $ 1,000 Accounts Receivable 38,000 Sales Discounts 2,100 Sales Revenue 95,000 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 1,200 How much is net sales revenue
Answer:
$91,900
Explanation:
The computation of net sales revenue is shown below:-
Here, for reaching the net sales revenue we add the sales revenue and deduct the sales return and allowances with sales discounts
Net sales revenue = Sales Revenue - Sales Returns and Allowances - Sales Discounts
= $95,000 - $1,000 - $2,100
= $91,900
Therefore we have applied the above formula.
Andrew Manufacturing held an average inventory of $1.1 million (raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods) last year. Its sales were $8.0 million, and its cost of goods sold was $5.8 million. The firm operates 260 days a year. What is the inventory day’s supply? What target inventory level is necessary to reach a 20- and 10-day inventory days supply during the next two years?
Answer:
The Inventory day's supply is 49.3 days supply
The Target inventory level to reach a 20-day inventory days supply is $ 0.446 million
The Target inventory level to reach a 10-day inventory days supply is $ 0.223 million
Explanation:
In order to calculate the inventory day’s supply we would have to calculate the following:
Inventory day's supply = (Average inventory / Cost of goods sold) * 260 days a year
Inventory day's supply = 1.1/5.8)*260
Inventory day's supply = 49.3 days supply
To calculate the target inventory level necessary to reach a 20- and 10-day inventory days supply during the next two years we would have to calculate the following:
Target inventory level to reach a 20-day inventory days supply = (20/260)*5.8 = $ 0.446 million
Target inventory level to reach a 10-day inventory days supply = (10/260)*5.8 = $ 0.223 million
Carlos opens a dry cleaning store during the year. He invests $30,000 of his own money and borrows $60,000 from a local bank. He uses $40,000 of the loan to buy a building and the remaining $20,000 for equipment. During the first year, the store has a loss of $24,000. How much of the loss can Carlos deduct if the loan from the bank is nonrecourse
Answer:
$30,000
$6,000
Explanation:
Carlos risk = $30,000
Carlos risk of $30,000 is the amount of funds which he had invested in the course of his business which is why Carlos is not considered at-risk for the nonrecourse loan reason been that carlos is not found liable because the loan was not used in the business which makes him to have a risk of $30,000.
$24,000 loss that occured will reduces Carlos’ amount at-risk to $6,000
($30,000 - $24,000)
=$6,000

At March 31, Cummins Co. had an unadjusted balance in its cash account of $9,700. At the end of March, the company determined that it had outstanding checks of $950, deposits in transit of $620, a bank service charge of $25, and an NSF check from a customer for $210. What is the true cash balance at March 31
Answer:
$9,465
Explanation:
The computation of the true cash balance as on March 31 is shown below:
= Unadjusted cash balance as on March 31 - bank service charges - NSF check from a customer
= $9,700 - $25 - $210
= $9,465
These above two items are to be deducted
The other two items i.e outstanding checks and the deposit in transit are related to the bank balance and the same is not considered
Alfred is saving up money for a down payment on a townhouse. He currently has $5016$ 5016, but knows he can get a loan at a lower interest rate if he can put down $5994$ 5994. If he invests the $5016$ 5016 in an account that earns 4.4%4.4% annually, compounded monthly, how long will it take Alfred to accumulate the $5994$ 5994? Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.
Answer:
It will take Alfred to accumulate the $5994 annually 4.1367 and monthly 4.0557
Explanation:
In order to calculate how long will it take Alfred to accumulate the $5994 we would have to use the following formula:
A=P(1+r/n)∧n*t
P=$5,016
A=$5994
r=4.4%
n=1 annually
n=12 monthly
Therefore, t annually would be as follows:
5,994=$5,016(1+(4.4%/100)/1)∧1*t
t=4.1367
Therefore, t monthly would be as follows:
5,994=$5,016(1+(4.4%/100)/12)∧12*t
t=4.0557
It will take Alfred to accumulate the $5994 annually 4.1367 and monthly 4.0557

On January 1, Year 1, Li Company purchased an asset that cost $35,000. The asset had an expected useful life of five years and an estimated salvage value of $7,000. Li uses the straight-line method for the recognition of depreciation expense. At the beginning of the fourth year, the company revised its estimated salvage value to $3,500. What is the amount of depreciation expense to be recognized during Year 4
Answer:
The amount of depreciation expense to be recognized during Year 4 is $7,350
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount of depreciation expense to be recognized during Year 4 we would have to calculate first the Depreciation as per straight line method as follows:
Depreciation as per straight line method=(Cost-Residual value)/Useful life
=($35,000-$7,000)/5=$5,600
Hence, book value as on beginning of the fourth year=$35,000-($5,600*3)=$18,200
Hence, depreciation revised for the 2 remaining years=($18,200-$3,500)/2
=$7,350
The amount of depreciation expense to be recognized during Year 4 is $7,350

The Melrose Corporation produces a single product, Product C. Melrose has the capacity to produce 90,000 units of Product C each year. If Melrose produces at capacity, the per unit costs to produce and sell one unit of Product C are as follows:
Direct materials $22.80
Direct labor $18.60
Variable manufacturing overhead $14.20
Fixed manufacturing overhead $16.00
Variable selling expense $12.80
Fixed selling expense $8.40
The regular selling price of one unit of Product C is $100.80. A special order has been received by Melrose from Moore Corporation to purchase 3,500 units of Product C during the upcoming year. If this special order is accepted, the variable selling expense will be reduced by 75%. Total fixed manufacturing overhead and fixed selling expenses would be unaffected except that Melrose will need to purchase a specialized machine to engrave the Moore name on each unit of product C in the special order. The machine will cost $6,300 and will have no use after the special order is filled. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.
Assume that Melrose expects to sell 68,000 units of Product C to regular customers next year. At what selling price for the 3,500 units would Melrose be economically indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order from Moore?
a. $59.10
b. $60.60
c. $81.10
d. $82.60
Answer:
Indifferent selling price =$67 per units
Explanation:
The selling at which Mel rose would be economically be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order from Moore is that that equates the relevant cost of making to the revenue from t
Relevant variable cost making
= 22.80 + 18.60 + 14.20 + (75%×12.80) = $65.2
$
Variable cost of special order (= $65.2 × 3,500)= 228,200
Cost of machine 6,300
Total relevant cost of special order 234,500
The price at which Melrose would be indifferent
= total relevant cost/ number of units
$234,500/3500 units
=$67 per units
Demographic studies show that the proportion of teenagers and minorities in the U.S. population is likely to increase in the near future. In your opinion, what implications, if any, will this trend have on the unemployment rate?
Answer:
Demographic Studies and Increased Proportion of Teenagers and Minorities
Implications of the Trend on the Unemployment Rate:
a) Labor Force Participation Rate: If the population of teenagers and minorities increase proportionately in the near future, there will be an increase in the labour force participation rate. This means that more people are vying for the available jobs. This puts pressure on the economy to create more sustainable jobs. However, this holds true if all other things are held constant. Obviously, the increased population of these demographic groups will push industries to create jobs in pursuit of the huge demand placed by the groups for more goods and services.
b) Increased Industrial growth reduces the unemployment rate. The resulting increased demand for goods and services required by these groups will increase industrial growth. This will in its turn reduce the unemployment rate.
c) Another implication of the trend on the unemployment rate is that the increased population of these groups will lead to social mobility. Social mobility happens when people move out of their social class to lower or better social classes. Social mobility affects the unemployment rate in any demography. When educated people accept menial jobs, while it may appear that they are working, they are obviously still within the unemployment bracket because they will be searching for jobs.
Explanation:
a) Unemployment rate is the number of unemployed people as a percentage of the labor force. The labor force comprises those who are unemployed plus those who are in paid or self employment.
b) Demographic studies are the studies conducted about a population based on factors such as age, race, and sex.
Cash Payback Period, Net Present Value Method, and Analysis

Year Plant Expansion Retail Store Expansion
1 $450,000 $500,000
2 450,000 400,000
3 340,000 350,000
4 280,000 250,000
5 180,000 200,000
Total $1,700,000 $1,700,000
Each project requires an investment of $900,000.
A rate of 15% has been selected for the net present value analysis.
Required:
1. Compute the cash payback period for each project.
2. Compute the net present value for each project.
(Round to nearest dollar)
Answer:
Plant Expansion
Cash payback period = 2 years
NPV = $304,707.24
Retail Store Expansion
Cash payback period = 2 years
NPV = $309,744.42
Explanation:
Cash payback period measures how long it takes for the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flows.
Cash payback for the Plant Expansion
Amount invested = $-900,000
Amount recovered in the first year = $-900,000 + $450,000 = $-450,000
Amount recovered in the second year = $-450,000 + $450,000 = 0
The amount invested in the project is recovered In the second year. So, the cash payback period is 2 years.
Cash payback for the Retail Store Expansion
Amount invested = $-900,000
Amount recovered in the first year = $-900,000 + $500,000 = $-400,000
Amount recovered in the second year = $-400,000 + $400,000 = 0
The amount invested in the project is recovered In the second year. So, the cash payback period is 2 years.
The 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:
Plant Expansion
Cash flow in year 0 = $-900,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $450,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $450,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $340,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $280,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $180,000
I = 15%
NPV = $304,707.24
Retail Store Expansion
Cash flow in year 0 = $-900,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $500,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $400,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $350,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $250,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $200,000
I = 15%
NPV = $309,744.42

1. Cost Management Systems: Analyze the process of assigning and allocating costs. Discuss the development of an activity-based costing system and how activity based management is used in decision making. Compare and contrast Just-In-Time and Quality Management Systems.
Explanation:
The assigning and allocation of costs in an organization can be defined as essential processes to assist in the management of organizational budgets, being characterized as essential activities for the company's accounting department.
An activity-based costing system can be initiated according to the identification of the scope of organizational projects, and then carry out an appropriate planning so that the costs of the company in relation to all organizational systems are identified and then eliminate subjectivity and carry out a more precise cost management and greater control, which guarantees a decision making more directed to the organizational needs, focused on reducing unnecessary costs.
The relationship between the cost management system and the Just-In-Time and quality management systems is that these two systems are focused on reducing waste and maintaining quality in all organizational processes, and controlling of the organizational costs realized by a cost management system will reduce the waste of undue costs of the company, increase its efficiency and quality, as this system assists in the control and coordination of the systems, which results in an improvement of all organizational processes.
