Nickolas Imports recorded a restructuring charge of $21.6 million during fiscal 2014 related entirely to the closing of its California based operations in San Diego and in Tijuana, Mexico. The company's financial statement footnotes indicated that expected employee separation payments amounted to $16.8 million and that fixed asset write-downs accounted for the remainder. Nickolas had never before incurred restructuring charges. At the end of the year, the company's balance sheet included a restructuring accrual liability of $3,600,000. Calculate the cash flow effect of Nickolas’s restructuring during fiscal 2014.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $13,200,000

Explanation:

Nickolas Import recorded a restructuring charge of $21.6 million.

Of this amount, $16.8 million were for employee separation fees.

When calculating the cash flow effect of the restructuring on Nickolas Imports, the $16.8 million is the relevant account. This is because the Asset write downs that make up the rest of the $21.6 million are not cash items neither can they be accrued like normal expenses or Liabilities so they will not be recorded as an Accrual Liability.

The Net Cashflow effect of Nickolas Imports for the year therefore is,

= 16.8 - 3.6

= $13.2 million.

What this means is that with a restructuring accrual liability of $3,600,000 at the end of the year from an initial Balance of $16.8 million, it means that Nickolas Imports must have settled $13,200,000 during the year to be left with that balance of $3,600,000.

Answers

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

The Cash Flow Statement was created to ensure that businesses would know just how much hard cash they actually have. This Statement is therefore different from others in that in only records cash when it has been received and/or disbursed thus making it easier for a company to know how much cash it has.

The Investing Section of the Cashflow statement deals with fixed assets as well as transactions involving securities and bonds of other entities as those are investments.

When cash is spent on these transactions it is a Cash Outflow and is therefore subtracted.

When cash is received from such transactions it is considered a cash inflow and is added.

Explanation:

a) Straight-line method of depreciation applies the same amount of depreciation charge over the life of the asset.  It is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the asset and dividing the resulting figure by the number of useful life in years.  It is very simple, but does not take into consideration maintenance costs incurred as assets age.  Therefore, it does not spread the costs of the asset evenly over the periods the asset is in use, or according to the productivity value of the asset in each period.

b) Declining balance method of depreciation accelerates depreciation charge initially but the annual expense declines with age of the fixed asset.  Under this method, depreciation expense is calculated by applying the depreciation rate to the book value of the asset at the start of the period.

Among the 1,000 policyholders of the auto insurance company, 400 are classified as low-risk drivers and 600 are classified as high-risk drivers. In each month, the probability of zero accidents for high-risk drivers is 0.80 and the probability of zero accidents for low-risk drivers is 0.90. Calculate the expected bonus payment from the insurer to the 1000 policy

Answers

Answer:

50,400

Explanation:

We are required to

Calculate the expected bonus payment from the insurer to the 1000 policyholders in one year:

X = case of 0 accident

E[X] = 400 x P(X | low risk) + 600 x P (X | high risk)

= (400 x 0.9) + (600 x 0.8)

= 840

Expected bonus = 840 x 5 dollars x 12 months

= 50400

Adams operates his $57500 firm using his own equity. Bob operates his firm with $28750 of his own money plus $28750 of debt at a cost of 5 percent interest. Calculate Adams's and Bob's return on equity if their respective businesses produce earnings before interest and tax of $7000. Assume perfect markets.

Answers

Answer:

Adam return on equity is 12.1%. while Bob return on equity is 19.3%

Explanation:

Given that:

Now,

For Adam:

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) = Net income + Interest + Taxes

EBIT = $7000

The equity of shareholders = $57500

The number of debt by which Adams shows no interest expense and no tax expense as perfect market presumed is stated s follows:

ROE = Net income /Average Shareholder Equity

=$7000/$57500

=0.121739

Therefore, Adam return on equity is 12.1%

For Bob

The equity of shareholders = $28750

The expense (interest) = Debt * Interest rate

=$28750 * 0.05

= 1437.5

Thus

Net income = EBIT - Interest

= 7000 -1437.5

=5562.5

Now,

ROE = Net income /Average Shareholder Equity

=5562.5 /$28750

= 0.19347

=19.3%

Therefore, Bob return on equity is 19.3%

A company’s trial balance included the following account balances: Accounts Payable $ 19,207 Accounts Receivable 81,336 Cash 73,324 Income Tax Payable 3,512 Inventory 25,816 Note Payable, due in two years 1,709 Equipment 54,128 Stockholders’ Equity 202,808 Supplies 5,512 Wages Payable 12,880 What is the amount of the current ratio? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

5.22

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the current ratio is as follows:

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities .......... (1)

From the question, we have:

Current assets = Accounts Receivable + Cash + Inventory + Supplies = $81,336 + $73,324 + $25,816 + $5,512 = $185,988.

Note: Equipment is not a current asset but a fixed asset.

Current liabilities = Accounts Payable + Income Tax Payable + Wages Payable = $19,207 + $3,512 + $12,880 = $35,599.

Note: Note Payable, due in two years is not a current liability but a long term liability since it is not payable within one year.

Substituting the values into equation (1) we have:

Current ratio = $185,988 / $35,599 = 5.22

The current ratio of 5.22 indicates that the company more than enough current assets, 5.22 times, to pay of its current liabilities.

Grosheim Incorporated has fixed expenses of $211,500 per year. Right now, Grosheim Incorporated is selling its products for $100 per unit. Management is contemplating a 20% increase in the selling price for the next year. Variable costs are currently 40% of sales revenue and are not expected to change in dollar amount on a per unit basis next year (the company will pay the same amount for variable costs next year). If fixed costs increase 10% next year, and the new selling price per unit goes into effect, how many units will need to be sold to breakeven?

Answers

Answer:

Breakeven in units is 3231

Explanation:

Breakeven units=fixed costs/contribution margin per unit.

new selling price=$100*(1+20%)=$120

variable cost per unit=$120*40%=$48

contribution margin=selling price per unit-variable cost per unit

contribution margin per unit=$120-$48=$72

fixed costs next year=$211,500*(1+10%)=$232,650.00  

breakeven units=$232,650.00/$72=3231

Perdue found that one of its chicken products may have been contaminated with bacteria, so it pulled it off the shelves and instituted a recall. This potential ethical issue was associated with which element of the marketing mix?
1. product
2. price
3. distribution
4. marketing communications promotion

Answers

Answer:

1. Product

Explanation:

Perdue finding out that one of its chicken products may have been contaminated with bacteria, pulled it off the shelves and instituted a recall.

Hence, this potential ethical issue is associated with product marketing mix because Perdue was very much concerned about the quality level, safety and reliability of his chicken products. This simply means, Perdue is much more interested in producing and selling highly uncontaminated products to it's customers.

A product marketing mix is focused mainly on the products, reason Perdue pulled the chicken products off the shelves and instituted a recall.

This would help to boost confidence among their customers to use more of their products in the future and by extension their market share.

Move divergent topics to a separate list to be discussed later. c. Not worry so much about time; the most important thing is to make sure that all agenda items are discussed fully. d. Ask anyone who monopolizes the conversation to leave.

Answers

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

When leading a meeting with many different topics, the best way to move the meeting along faster so that it ends in time is to move divergent topics to a separate list to be discussed later. This would remove the unimportant topics from that specific meeting and allow the very specific important topics to be discussed thoroughly in that meeting, thus moving it along but still being as efficient as possible. The divergent topics can be scheduled to be discussed at a later date when they are of a higher priority.

Answers

Answer:

Prepaid Insurance = credit = $2900.

Prepaid Insurance = debit = $2900

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information which is going to assist us in solving this particular Question or problem;

=> The amount paid for a 4-month insurance premium in advance on November 1, with coverage beginning on that date = $5,800.

=> "The balance in the prepaid insurance account before adjustment at the end of the year =$5,800, and no adjustments had been made previously.

So, we are asked to determine the adjusting entry required on December 31.

The adjusting entry required on December 31;

Prepaid Insurance = credit = 5800 × 2/4= $2900.

Prepaid Insurance = debit = $2900.

Answer:

Debit Insurance Expense $2,900; Credit Prepaid Insurance $2,900

Explanation:

Total Prepaid Insurance= $5,800

Monthly Insurance=Total Prepaid Insurance / 4 = $1,450

Insurance expenses for 2 month (November and December)= $1,450 * 2 = $2,900

There is no cash transaction in this adjusting entry

When insurance expenses increase= Debit

When decrease in prepaid expenses= Credit

Debit Insurance Expense $2,900; Credit Prepaid Insurance $2,900

Problem 15-12 Below is a list of prices for zero-coupon bonds of various maturities. Maturity (Years) Price of $1,000 Par Bond (Zero-Coupon) 1 $ 974.85 2 882.39 3 847.70 a.

If at the end of the first year the yield curve flattens out at 6.5%, what will be the 1-year holding-period return on the coupon bond? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

a. 5.63%

b. 5.72%

Explanation:

to calculate YTM of zero coupon bonds:

YTM = [(face value / market value)¹/ⁿ] - 1

YTM₁ =  [(1,000 / 974.85)¹/ⁿ] - 1 = 2.58%YTM₂ =  [(1,000 / 882.39)¹/ⁿ] - 1 = 6.46%YTM₃ =  [(1,000 / 847.70)¹/ⁿ] - 1 = 5.66%

a. A 5.6% coupon $1,000 par bond pays an annual coupon and will mature in 3 years. What should the yield to maturity on the bond be?

the bond's current market price:

$1,000 / 1.0566³ = $847.75$56/1.0258 + 56/1.0646² + 56/1.0566³ = $54.59 + $49.41 + $47.47 = $151.47current market price = $999.22

YTM = [C + (FV - PV)/n] / [(FV + PV)/2] = [56 + (1,000 - 999.22)/3] / [(1,000 + 999.22)/2] = (56 + 0.26) / 999.61 = 5.63%

b. If at the end of the first year the yield curve flattens out at 6.5%, what will be the 1-year holding-period return on the coupon bond?

the bond's current market price:

$1,000 / 1.065³ = $827.85$56/1.0258 + 56/1.065² + 56/1.065³ = $54.59 + $49.37 + $46.36 = $150.32current market price = $978.17

you invest $978.17 in purchasing the bond and you receive a coupon of $56, holding period return = $56 / $978.17 = 5.72%

Marx and Springsteen provides​ hair-cutting services in the local community. In February, the business cut the hair of 200 ​clients, earned $ 5,100 in​ revenues, and incurred the following operating​ costs:

Hair saloon expense: $500
Building rent expense: 1458
Utilities expense: 200
Depreciation expense--- Equipment: 50

Required:
What was the cost of service to provide one haircut?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of service to provide one haircut is $ 11.04

Explanation:

Hair saloon expense: $500

Building rent expense: $1,458

Utilities expense: $200

Depreciation expense --- Equipment: $50

Total operating cost = Hair saloon expense + Building rent expense + Utilities expense + Depreciation expense

= $500 + $1,458 + $200 + $50

= $ 2,208

Total hair cuts = 200

Therefore, cost per hair cut = Total operating cost ÷ Total hair cuts

= $2,208 ÷ $200

=  $ 11.04

As an employee in the Lottery Commission, your job is to design a new prize. Your idea is to create two grand prize choices: (1) receiving $50,000 at the end of each year beginning in one year for 20 consecutive years, or (2) receiving $500,000 today followed by a one-time payment at the end of 20 years. Using an interest rate of 6%, which of the following comes closest to the amount prize (2) needs to pay at the end of year 20 in order that both prizes to have the same present value?
a. $ 326,649
b. $ 440,463
c. $ 114,932
d. $ 393,342
e. $ 235,712

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is  $235,712,option E  

Explanation:

The present value of prize(1) can be computed by using the excel pv formula as shown below:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is interest rate of 6%

nper is the number of years payment would be made which is 20

pmt is the amount of money received per year which is $50,000

fv is the total future worth of the prize (1) which is unknown

=-pv(6%,20,50000,0)

=$573,496.06  

The difference between present value of prize(1) $573,496.06   and $500,000 receivable from prize (2) today is $73,496.06

The difference is today's worth, its future worth can be computed thus:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

PV is $73,496.06  

r is 6%

n is 20 years

FV=$73,496.06*(1+6%)^20 =$ 235,711.82  

The amount that prize (2) needs to pay after 20 years so that both prizes bear the same present value is closer to Option B. $440,463.

Data and Calculations:

N (# of periods) = 20 years

I/Y (Interest per year) = 6%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $50,000

FV (Future Value) = $0

Results:

Present Value (PV) = $573,496.06

Sum of all periodic payments = $1,000,000.00

Total Interest = $426,503.94

Thus, the amount that prize (2) needs to pay after 20 years so that both prizes bear the same present value is closer to Option B.

Suppose Binder corporatio's common stock has a return of 17.61 percent. The risk-free rate is 3.68 percent, the market return is 12.4 percent and there is no unsystematic risk affecting Binder's return. Given the one-factor arbitrage pricing model, what is the factor beta

Answers

Answer:

1.597

Explanation:

The computation of the factor beta using the one-factor arbitrage pricing model is shown below:

As we know that

= (Expected rate of return - risk-free rate of return) ÷ (market rate of return-risk-free rate of return)

= (17.61% - 3.68%) ÷ (12.4% - 3.68%)

= 1.597

We simply applied the above formula to determine the factor beta and the same is to be considered

A bond was issued three years ago at a price of $1,050 with a maturity of six years, a yield-to-maturity (YTM) of 6.50% compounded semi-annually, and a face value of $1,000 with semi-annualy coupons. What is the price of this bond today immediately after the receipt of today's coupon if the YTM has risen to 7.75% compounded semi-annually

Answers

Answer:

$967.20

Explanation:

the YTM formula = {coupon + [(face value - present value)/time]} / [(face value + present value)/2]

to determine the coupon rate we fill the equation with the known factors:

0.065 = {coupon + [(1,000 - 1,050)/12]} / [(1,000 + 1,050)/2]

0.065 = (coupon - 41.67) / 1,025

66.625 = coupon - 4.167

coupon = 66.625 + 4.167 = $70.792  

three years later, the YTM = 7.5%, what is the PV? Again we use the YTM formula:

0.0775 = {70.792 + [(1,000 - x)/6]} / [(1,000 + x)/2]

0.0775(500 + 0.5x) = 70.792 + 166.67 - 0.1667x

38.75 + 0.03875x = 237.462 - 0.1667x

0.20545x = 198.712

x = 198.712 / .20545

x = $967.20

Kevin owns a retail store, and during the current year, he purchased $610,000 worth of inventory. Kevin's beginning inventory was $67,000, and his ending inventory is $77,200. During the year, Kevin withdrew $1,780 in inventory for his personal use. Calculate Kevin's cost of goods sold for the year.?

Answers

Answer:

COGS= $598,020

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Kevin owns a retail store, and during the current year, he purchased $610,000 worth of inventory. Kevin's beginning inventory was $67,000, and his ending inventory is $77,200. During the year, Kevin withdrew $1,780 in inventory for his personal use.

We need to deduct the inventory used for personal use.

To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

COGS= 67,000 + 610,000 - 77,200 - 1,780

COGS= $598,020

Disposal of Fixed Asset Equipment acquired on January 6 at a cost of $483,000, has an estimated useful life of 10 years and an estimated residual value of $63,000. a. What was the annual amount of depreciation for the Years 1-3 using the straight-line method of depreciation?

Answers

Answer: $42,000

Explanation:

Using a straight line Depreciation method means that the Equipment will be depreciated uniformly throughout it's life.  i.e by the same amount.

Depreciation = (Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life

= 420,000/10

= $42,000

The annual Depreciation amount for Year 1 - 3 is $42,000 and will be the same as long as the Equipment is in service.
