Brief Exercise 233 Kinney Company purchased a truck for $66,000. The company expected the truck to last four years or 100,000 miles, with an estimated residual value of $8,000 at the end of that time. During the second year the truck was driven 27,000 miles. Compute the depreciation for the second year under each of the methods below and place your answers in the blanks provided.Units-of-activity $_________
Double-declining-balance $_________

Answers

Answer:

$15,660

$16,500

Explanation:

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1 / useful life)

2 x (1 / 4 ) = 0.5

The depreciation expense in the first year = 0.5 x $66,000 = $33,000

Book value = $66,000 - $33,000 = $33,000

The depreciation expense in the second year = 0.5 x $33,000 = $16,500

The Units of production method = (miles driven in the second year / estimated total miles that can be driven) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

(27,000 / 100,000) × ($66,000 - $8,000)

= 0.27 x $58,000 = $15,660

You are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $100 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays no dividends, its current price is $100, and you believe it has a 50% chance of increasing to $120 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $80. The risk-free rate of interest is 10%.Based upon your assumptions, calculate your estimate of the the call option's value using the two-state stock price model.

Answers

Answer:

$13.64

Explanation:

Given:

Exercise price,X = $100

Current price = $100

Value when price is up, uS = $120

Value when price is down, dS= $80

Risk free interest rate = 10%

First calculate hedge ratio, H:

[tex] H = \frac{C_u - C_d}{uS - dS} [/tex]

Where,

Cu = uS - X

= 120 - 100

= $20

[tex] H = \frac{20 - 0}{120 - 80} = \ftac{1}{2}[/tex]

A risk free portfolio involves one share and two call options.

Find cost of portfolio:

Cost of portfolio = Cost of stock - Cost of the two cells.

= $100 - 2C

This portfolio is risk free. The table below shows that

_______________

Portforlio 1:

Buy 1 share $80; Write 2 calls: $0; Total: ($80 + 0) $80

____________________

Portforlio 2:

Buy 1 share: $120; Write 2 calls: -$40; Total: ($120 - $40) $80

Check for oresent value of the portfolio:

Present value [tex] = \frac{80}{1 + 0.10} = 72.73 [/tex]

Value = exercise price - value of option

$72.73 = $100 - 2C

Find call option, C

[tex] C = \frac{100 - 72.73}{2} = 13.64 [/tex]

Call option's value = $13.64

Exxon was criticized for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society. In short, Exxon did not demonstrate:___________.
1. Social responsibility
2. Value conciousness
3. Gray marketing
4. Profit responsibility
5. Transactional marketing

Answers

Answer:

1. Social responsibility.

Explanation:

Social responsibility is an ethical principle or business practice that supports, that individuals or business entities are required to fulfil civic duties, such as welfare, charity, etc. for the benefit of the society at large.

Simply stated, it incorporates sustainable societal development into business models. A company's social responsibility involves the process of creating a balance between economic growth, societal welfare and largely it's environment.

In this scenario, Exxon was slow to own up to it's error and even slower in implementing cleanup activities of the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. Sequel to this, it was criticized by the residents of Alaska and others around the world for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society.

Hence, Exxon did not demonstrate social responsibility.

The donors stipulated that their contributions be used to purchase equipment for the hospital. As of June 30, 20X9, the end of the hospital's fiscal year, $12,000 of the contributions had been spent on equipment acquisitions. In the hospital's general fund, what account would be credited to recognize the release of the restrictions on the temporarily restricted contributions used to acquire equipment

Answers

Answer: Net Assets Released from Equipment Acquisition Restriction.

Explanation:

When the stipulations by a donor have been satisfied, the assets involved can be removed from being restricted to now being unrestricted. The account credited to recognize this is known as the Net assets released from *asset name* acquisition restriction.

In the above case, the company purchased some equipment with the money they were donated which means that the equipment had satisfied the stipulation for which they were donated funds for. The Net Assets Released from Equipment Acquisition Restriction thus needs to be credited.

A rich donor gives a hospital $ 960 comma 000 one year from today. Each year after​ that, the hospital will receive a payment 5 ​% larger than the previous​ payment, with the last payment occurring in ten​ years' time. What is the present value​ (PV) of this​ donation, given that the interest rate is 9 ​%?

Answers

Answer:

$7,560,000

Explanation:

To solve this problem, the Present Value (PV) of a growing annuity formula is used.

The Present Value of a growing annuity is the current value of a series of payments which grows or diminishes at a constant rate each period.

The formula below represents the PV of a growing annuity:

[tex]PV=PMT *\frac{(1-(1+g)^{n}*(1+i)^{-n}) }{i-g}[/tex],  ............................................. (i)

where,

PV = Present Value = ?

PMT = Periodic Payment = $960,000

i = Interest Rate = 9% = 0.09

g = Growth Rate = 5% = 0.05

n = Number of periods = 10 years

Substituting these values in equation (i), we have

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1+0.05)^{10}*(1+0.09)^{-10} }{0.09-0.05}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1.05^{10})*(1.09)^{-10}) }{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1.63*0.42))}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-0.685)}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{0.315}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*7.875[/tex]

[tex]PV=$7,560,000[/tex]

PV = $7,560,000

Integration of different types of businesses
Contracts
Moral codes and social sanctions
Charities
2. It's important to note that sometimes private solutions to externalities do not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that -------.

Answers

Answer: 1. Charities

2. Government action the only viable solution

Explanation:

Externalities are the resultant additional effects that are experienced by others as a result of actions by an economic agent who does not bear the extra aformentioned cost or benefit that their actions bring about.

1. Private Solutions to Externalities include any solution independent of the government.

The above Private Solution is Charities because it was a Non-profit Environmental Organization that dealt with the lobbying for the reduction to be acted upon by state agents. These types of organisations are usually Charities.

2. If it is shown that the potential gains are viewed to be quite high as in this case then negotiating with the polluters might not work. In this case Government Intervention is needed to force the polluters to adhere to rules and regulations.

A) Reinvestment rate risk.

Explanation:

Reinvestment rate risk is demonstrated as the type of financial risk in which the investor is concerned about his investment getting canceled or stopped in the future and the other party/place might not be able to provide a similar rate of return.

In the given situation, Frank Barlowe is concerned about reinvestment risk. He is aware that he will earn a steady income from his investments as he knows that when the interest rates increase, his potential returns would increase and vice versa. But since he is retiring, he has a potential concern that if the investment gets abandoned somehow, he might not be able to reinvest his amount at the same rate and will not be able to continue with steady returns. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

New Age Makeup produces face cream. Each bottle of face cream costs $10 to produce and can be sold for $13. The bottles can be sold as is, or processed further into sunscreen at a cost of $14 each. New Age Makeup could sell the sunscreen bottles for $23 each.
A) Face cream must be processed further because its profit is $9 each.
B) Face cream must not be processed further because costs increase more than revenue.
C) Face cream must not be processed further because it decreases profit by $1 each.
D) Face cream must be processed further because it increases profit by $3 each.

Answers

Answer:

Face cream must not be processed further because costs increase more than revenue.

Explanation:

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

If sold as face cream, total profit = $13 - $10 = $3

If processed into sunscreen , total cost = $10 + $14 = $24

Profit = $24 - $23 = $1

The profit from selling the product as a face cream is greater than the profit of developing it to a face cream. So the product shouldn't be developed further.

Explanation:

For computing the yield to maturity we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Provided that,  

Present value = $1,046.487

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 5.524% ÷ 2 = $27.62

NPER = 10 years × 2 = 20 years

The 10 years is come from

= 10 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying the above formula,

The yield to maturity is

Explanation:

Segmenting the income statement into divisions helps management to trace the loss making division as Division East.  The division has a traceable fixed cost that is far above its contribution to profit.  The fixed expense must be studied, otherwise the division may be up for closure.

Exercise 4-7 (Algo) Income statement presentation; discontinued operations; restructuring costs [LO4-1, 4-3, 4-4] Esquire Comic Book Company had income before tax of $1,650,000 in 2021 before considering the following material items: Esquire sold one of its operating divisions, which qualified as a separate component according to generally accepted accounting principles. The before-tax loss on disposal was $405,000. The division generated before-tax income from operations from the beginning of the year through disposal of $630,000. The company incurred restructuring costs of $70,000 during the year. Required: Prepare a 2021 income statement for Esquire beginning with income from continuing operations. Assume an income tax rate of 25%. Ignore EPS disclosures. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)

Answers

Answer:

Net income = $1,353,750

Note: See the income statement below.

Explanation:

Before preparing the income statement, the following calculations are done first:

Income from operations of discontinued component = Income before-tax generated by the division - Before-tax loss on disposal = $630,000 - $405,000 = $225,000

Income from continuing operations = Income before tax - Restructuring costs = $1,650,000 - $70,000 = $1,580,000

The income statement can now be prepared as follows:

On January 1 of the current year, Jimmy's Sandwich Company, Inc. reported stockholders' equity totaling $122,500. During the current year, total revenues were $96,000 while total expenses were $85,500. Also, during the current year the business paid $20,000 to the stockholders. No other changes in equity occurred during the year. If, on December 31 of the current year, total assets are $196,000, the change in stockholders' equity during the year was:

Answers

Answer:

The multiple choices are:

A decrease of $9,500.

An increase of $9,500.

An increase of $30,500.

A decrease of $30,500.

An increase of 73,500.

The correct option is  a decrease of $9,500

Explanation:

The changes in stockholders' equity is in the form of the difference between inflow to stockholders and outflow to stockholders.

Inflow to stockholders is the earnings attributable to them in form of net income while outflow is the dividends paid to them.

net income=revenues-expenses=$96,000-$85,500=$10,500

Dividends were paid to the tune of $20,000

change in stockholders' equity=$10,500-$20,000=-$9,500

In essence ,the opening balance of stockholders' equity went down by $9,500 since the net income generated of $10,500 was not enough to fund dividend payment

Sam is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence: In order to swim for an hour, Sam must take time away from work, where he earns $10 per hour. This is in addition to paying a $5 entrance fee for the pool. Which basic principle of individual choice do these statements best illustrate? The cost of something is what you give up to get it. Markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity. People usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off. Trade can make everyone better off.

Answers

Answer:

The cost of something is what you give up to get it.

Explanation:

To partake in triathlon, Sam is forgoing the amount he would have earned if he went to work instead. This is known as the opportunity cost or implicit cost

Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

Sam has to pay $5 to partake in the triathlon. This amount is known as explicit cost. Explicit cost is the cost incurred in carrying out an activity.

Sam's accounting cost is $5

Sam's economic cost is $5 + $10 = $15

There are 100 used laptop g for sale on the market. 40% of them are in good condition, and the rest of them are broken, which is the common knowledge to the owners and the buyers. Owners of broken laptops are willing to sell them for $300. Owners of good used laptops are willing to sell them if the price is above $1600 but will keep them if the price is lower than $1600. There is a large number of potential buyers who are willing to pay $2000 for a good laptop and $600 for a broken laptop. Buyers can't tell good laptops from bad, but original owners know. In equilibrium, what could be the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold

Answers

Answer:

In equilibrium the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold is $600

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

It is given that 40% laptops are in good condition. This implies that 60% are in bad condition.

In ordert to calculate the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold we would have to calculate the expected price that the buyers will be willing to pay for a  laptop as follows:

Expected price=0.60($2000)+0.40($600)

Expected price=$1,200+$240

Expected price=$1,440

As the owners of good laptops are willing to sell their laptops for $1,800, whis is more that $1,440, they will not sell their products.

This implies that only bad laptops are sold in the market. The willingless to pay for the bad laptops is $600

Therefore, In equilibrium the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold is $600

Assume that the economy has three types of people. 20% are fad followers, 75% are passive investors and 5% are informed traders. The portfolio consisting of all informed traders has a beta of 1.4 and an expected return of 12.4%. The market has an expected return of 10% and the risk-free rate is 4%. The expected return for the fad follower's portfolio is closest to:__________.
a. 11.5%
b. 13.6%
c. 16%
d. 12.4%

Answers

Answer: a. 11.5%

Explanation:

Fad followers are those investors who follow a trend when it emerges and as such their betas will be less than that of informed traders because the informed traders would have acted first.

Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate expected return.

Er = Rf + b( Rm - Rf)

Er = Expected return

Rf = Risk Free Rate

b = Beta

Rm = Market Return.

The Expected Return for the Informed Investors is,

= 4% + 1.4 ( 10% - 4%)

= 4% + 1.4 ( 6%)

= 12.4%

With the Fad followed expected to have a lower beta and therefore a lower expected return than the Informed Investors, the only suitable option is the 11.5%.
