Answer:
A) $61,654,600
B) June 30, 2016, first coupon payment
Dr Interest expense 4,840,000
Dr Premium on bonds payable 60,000
Cr Cash 4,900,000
C) If you use the effective interest rate, the bond premium is higher, so the actual interest expense would be lower:
June 30, 2016, first coupon payment
Dr Interest expense 4,756,406
Dr Premium on bonds payable 143,594
Cr Cash 4,900,000
D) The actual difference between the coupon rate and the effective interest rate (with a $72,400,000 issue price) = 14% (coupon rate) - 13.93% = 0.07%.
The bond's issue price is generally determined by the market rate, but sometimes a company might believe that the interest rate applicable to them is actually different. A company might under estimate the riskiness of their operations, but the market doesn't. Generally the market rate is correct. So any variation in the coupon rate is due to a mistake by the firm. Usually companies do not make huge mistakes, if they miss on the coupon rate it generally is not significant.
Explanation:
issued $70 million face amount of 20-year, 14% stated rate bonds when market interest rates were 16%. The bonds pay interest semi-annually each June 30 and December 31, each coupon = $4,900,000
bonds market price = PV of maturity value + PV of coupons
PV of maturity value = $70,000,000 x 0.04603 = $3,222,100 PV of coupons = $4,900,000 x (8% annuity, 40 periods) = $4,900,000 x 11.925 = $58,432,500total issue price = $61,654,600if instead the issue price was $72,400,000 (resulting in a $2,400,000 premium), then the premium would be amortized by $2,400,000 / 40 = $60,000 during each coupon payment
if the effective interest method, (not the compound interest method), was used to amortize bond premium, then we first need to calculate the effective interest rate:
$72,400,000 - $70,000,000 = $2,400,000 / 40 = $60,000
$4,900,000 + $60,000 = $4,960,000 / {($72,400,000 + $70,000,000) / 2} = 0.0696629
bond premium discount using effective interest rate = ($72,400,000 x 0.0696629) - $4,900,000 = $5,043,594 - $4,900,000 = $143,594
Use the following information to answer the question: There are three firms in an economy: X, Y, and Z. Firm X buys $400 worth of goods from Firm Y, and $200 worth of goods from Firm Z to produce 250 units of output at $3 per unit. Firm Y buys $250 worth of goods from Firm X and $250 worth of goods from Firm Z to produce 250 units of output at $4 per unit. Firm Z buys $100 worth of goods from Firm X and $500 worth of goods from Firm Y to produce 500 units at $2 per unit. Given this information, using the Value Added approach to eliminating intermediate goods and services (in order to avoid double-counting), what is the economy's GDP
Answer:
$1,050
Explanation:
Value Added Approach to calculating the GDP avoids double counting by adding only the value addition of all firms in an economy to obtain the GDP. Value addition for each firm can be calculated by deducting the intermediate purchase of each firm from its intermediate sales as follows:
Firm X value addition = ($250 * 3) - $400 - $200 = $750 - $600 = $150
Firm Y value addition = ($250 * 4) - $250 - $250 = $1,000 - $500 = $500
Firm Z value addition = (500 * 2) - $100 - $500 = $1,000 - $600 = $400
Therefore, we have:
The economy's GDP = $150 + $500 + $400 = $1,050
Find the nominal annual rate of interest compounded monthly if $1200 accumulates to $1618.62 in five years.
Answer:
The nominal annual interest rate is 6%
Explanation:
The future value of a sum of money an be calculated as follows,
FV = PV (1+i)^n
Where,
PV is present value i is the interest raten is the number of compounding periodsAs we already know the FV, the PV and the number of compounding periods, we can calculate the value of i. The value of i here represents the nominal annual interest rate denominated in monthly terms.
Annual interest rate denominated in monthly terms = Annual i / 12
As the total period in years is 5 years, the total period in monthly terms will be 5 * 12 = 60. So n is 60.
Plugging in the available values, we get the following expression which should be solved to get the monthly i.
1618.62 = 1200 * (1+i)^60
1618.62 / 1200 = (1+i)^60
1.34885 = (1+i)^60
Taking the 60th root of both sides.
(1.34885)^1/60 = (1+i)^60/60
1.004999998 = 1 + i
1.00499998 - 1 = i
i = 0.00499998 rounded off to 0.005 or 0.5%
If the annual interest rate denominated in monthly terms is is 0.005 or 0.5%, then the annual interest rate is,
Annual interest rate = 0.005 * 12 = 0.06 or 6%
Causwell Company began 2018 with 11,000 units of inventory on hand. The cost of each unit was $4.00. During 2018 an additional 35,000 units were purchased at a single unit cost, and 21,000 units remained on hand at the end of 2018 (25,000 units therefore were sold during 2018). Causwell uses a periodic inventory system. Cost of goods sold for 2018, applying the average cost method, is $108,750. The company is interested in determining what cost of goods sold would have been if the FIFO or LIFO methods were used. Required: 1. Determine the cost of goods sold for 2018 using the FIFO method. [Hint: Determine the cost per unit of 2018 purchases.] 2. Determine the cost of goods sold for 2018 using the LIFO method.
Answer and Explanation:
For computing the cost of goods sold under two method first we have to determine the cost per unit which is shown below:
The average cost per unit is
= $108,750 ÷ 25,000 units
= $4.35
Now the cost per unit is
Total cost (11,000 units + 35,000 units) × $4.35 $200,100
Beginning units (11,000 units × $4) $44,000
The Remaining cost for 35000 units ($200,100 - $44,000) $156,100
Divide by Purchase cost per unit of 35000 units $4.46
Now the cost of goods sold are as follows
1. Under the FIFO method
Beginning 11,000 × $4.00 $44,000
Purchased 14,000 × $4.46 $62,440
Total 25,000 $1,06,440
2. Under the LIFO method
Purchased 25,000 × $4.46 $1,11,500

Alain Mire files a single tax return and has adjusted gross income of $309,000. His net investment income is $48,000. What is the additional tax that Alain will pay on his net investment income for the year
Answer: $1,824
Explanation:
According to the IRS, Net Investment Income tax is the lesser figure of either,
i. The net investment income or,
ii. Modified adjusted gross income less the threshold of $200,000 of the person.
The lesser figure is then multiplied by 3.8% to find the tax.
Alain Mire's net Investment Income is $48,000.
His Modified adjusted gross income less the threshold of $200,000 is,
= 309,000 - 200,000
= $109,000
The lesser figure is his Net Investment Income so Additional Tax is,
= 48,000 * 3.8%
= $1,824
Mr. Grove's argument is to provide additional incentives to U.S. firms for domestic investment in more mass production. If implemented, this would have the largest impact on firms using which of the four integration-responsiveness strategies?A) Transnational strategy because such incentives help differentiation.B) Multi-domestic strategy because incentives would increase global responsiveness.C) Global-standardization strategy because incentives would lower domestic costs.D) International strategy because these incentives would reduce pressure for responsiveness globally.E) Global-standardization strategy because incentives align with the death-of-distance.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: Global-standarization strategy because incentives would lower domestic costs.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term of ''global-standarization strategy'' in the field of business is known because of being part of the group of the four integration-responsiveness strategies and is the one that focus in the standarization of the product in a globally way. Therefore that this type of strategy is the one that would be used in the case of looking for an investment in the mass production locally due to the fact that the firms will be producing goods in a standard way and therefore that they would use universal supplies in every production in order to increase the amount of the production to achieve a mass number.

Global Commerce Corporation purchased trading debt investments for $114,000 on December 31, 2018. There is a decrease of $5,800 in the fair value of the trading debt investments by the end of the year 2019. Which of the following is the correct journal entry?
A. Trading Debt Investments 5,800
Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5,800
B. Fair Value
Adjustment–Trading 5,800
Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5,800
C. Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5.800
Retained Earnings 5,800
D. Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5,800
Fair Value
Adjustment–Trading 5,800
Answer:
The correct option is D,
Unrealized Holding Loss-Trading $5,800
Fair Value Adjustment–Trading $5,800
Explanation:
The decrease in fair value by $5,800 means that the investment has potentially lost $5,800 in value which is credited to fair value adjustment while the debit is posted to unrealized holding loss-trading account.
The loss cannot be realized in retained earnings since the loss is yet to be realized as the investment has not been sold for cash.
The realized loss or gain would be determined when investment is sold for cash.

Here is the complete question.
State of the Economy Probability of Percentage Returns

Economic recession 25% 5%
Moderate economic growth 55% 10%
Strong economic growth 20% 13%
The standard deviation from investing in the asset is: (Round to the nearest hundredth percent. Answer in the percent format. Do not include % sign in your answer (i.e. If your answer is 4.33%, type 4.33 without a % sign at the end.))
Answer:
standard deviation from investing in the asset is: 2.76
Explanation:
From the information given above; the main task to do is to calculate for the standard deviation from investing in the asset ,but in order to do that; we must first determine the expected return value and the variance.
The expected return can either be the profit or loss the investor predict to get after investing on an instrument. It can be determined by multiplying the potential outcomes by the chances of them occurring and then totaling these results.
Here;
the potential outcome = Probability of the States
chances of them occurring = Percentage Returns
∴
Expected return = (0.25 × 5%) + (0.55 × 10%) + (0.20 × 13%)
Expected return = (1.25 + 5.5 + 2.6)%
Expected return = 9.35%
Variance = 0.25 × (5% - 9.35%)² + 0.55 × (10% - 9.35%)² + 0.20 × (13% - 9.35%)²
Variance = 0.25 ( -4.35%)² + 0.55 (0.3575%)² + 0.20 (3.65%)²
Variance = 0.0473 + 0.0023 + 0.0266
Variance = 0.0763
Finally; the standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{variance}[/tex]
standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt {0.0763[/tex]
standard deviation = 0.276
To the nearest hundredth percent and by answering in the percent format without including the % sign ; we have
standard deviation = 2.76

Firms HD and LD are identical except for their level of debt and the interest rates they pay on debt—HD has more debt and pays a higher interest rate on that debt. Based on the data given below, what is the difference between the two firms' ROEs? Applicable to Both Firms Firm HD's Data Firm LD's Data Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30% EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10% Tax rate 35%
Answer:
2.41%
Explanation:
The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-
Particulars Firm HD Firm LD
Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30%
EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10%
Tax rate 35%
Debt $100 $60
Interest $12 $6
($100 × 12%) ($60 × 10%)
Taxable income $28 $36
($40- $12) ($40 - $6)
Net income $18.2 $22.1
$28 × (1 - 0.35) $36 × (1 - 0.35)
Equity $100 $140
($200 - $100) ($200 - $60)
ROE 18.2% 15.79%
($18.2 ÷ $100) ($22.1 ÷ $140)
Taxable income = EBIT - Interest
Net income = Income - Taxable income
Equity = Assets - Debt
ROE = Net income ÷ Equity
Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD
= 18.2% - 15.79%
= 2.41%
So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.
Heidee Corp. and Leaudy Corp. have identical assets, sales, interest rates paid on their debt, tax rates, and EBIT. However, Heidee uses more debt than Leaudy. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A) Heidee would have the higher net income as shown on the income statement.
B) Without more information, we cannot tell if Heidee or Leaudy would have a higher or lower net income.
C) Heidee would have the lower equity multiplier for use in the Du Pont equation.
D) Heidee would have to pay more in income taxes.
E) Heidee would have the lower net income as shown on the income statement.
Answer:
E) Heidee would have the lower net income as shown on the income statement.
Explanation:
Heidee and Leaudy have the same Earning Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT).
They both also have the same interest rate paid on debt.
So if Heidee uses more of their debt than Leaudy it means they will incur more interest payment on debt.
This will result in less income for the company.
On the other hand Leaudy uses less debt so their interest expense is low and income is higher.
Heidee would have the lower net income as shown on the income statement.

A supermarket uses a periodic review system to manage inventory of gallons of drinking water. Average demand is 152 gallons of water per day with standard deviation of 33 gallons per day. It costs $57 to order water from the supplier, and orders are delivered after 4 days. The holding cost for a gallon of water is $0.11 per year. The supermarket is open 360 days per year. If the supermarket aims for a 94.5% service level for gallons of drinking water (z = 1.6), what value should be used for T, the target inventory position at the time of ordering?
The target inventory position is T= ______ gallons.
Answer:
The target inventory position is T= 713.6 gallons.
Explanation:
Given:
Average demand =per day = D = 152 Gallons
Standard deviation of demand = σ = 33 Gallons per day
Lead time for delivery = L = 4 days
Z value for 94.5% service level = 1.6
The target inventory position = (Average demand x Lead time) + Safety stock
= (D × L) + (Z× σ × [tex]\sqrt{L}[/tex])
= (152 × 4) + (1.6 × 33 × [tex]\sqrt{4}[/tex])
= (152 × 4) + (1.6 × 33 × 2)
= 608 + 105.6
= 713.6
The value of the target inventory position will be 713.6 gallons.
The following can be illustrated from the information given:
Average demand per day, D = 152Standard deviation of demand, σ = 33Lead time for delivery, L = 4Z value for 94.5% service level = 1.6Therefore, the target inventory position will be:
= (Average demand x Lead time) + Safety stock
= (D × L) + (Z× σ × ✓L )
= (152 × 4) + (1.6 × 33 × ✓4 )
= (152 × 4) + (1.6 × 33 × 2)
= 608 + 105.6
= 713.6
Therefore, the target inventory position will be 713.6 gallons.

In the context of the competitive environment of business, unlike leading-edge firms, bleeding-edge firms offer products just as the market becomes ready to embrace them. a. True b. False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Bleeding edge firms provide products that are untested and carry a high risk. Products are unreliable and lead adopters stand the risk of making big losses in event that the product is not well received in the market
Leading edge firms on the other hand deal in products that are well tested and accepted by the market.
So the statement that - unlike leading-edge firms, bleeding-edge firms offer products just as the market becomes ready to embrace them. Is not true
Products offered by bleeding edge firms are not embraced by the market as they are untested and risky
The Prospect Company estimates that its overhead costs will amount to $602,000 and the company's manufacturing employees will work 86,000 direct labor hours during the current year. Overhead costs are allocated based on direct labor hours. If actual overhead costs for the year amounted to $619,000 and actual labor hours amounted to 87,000, then overhead cost would be:___________.
A- underapplied by $10,000.
B- overapplied by $4,000.
C- underapplied by $17,000.
D- overapplied by $10,000.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated:
Overhead= $602,000
Direct labor hours= 86,000
Actual:
Overhead= $619,000
Direct labor hours= 87,000
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 602,000/86,000= $7 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH=7*87,000= $609,000
Finally, we determine the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 619,000 - 609,000
Under/over applied overhead= 10,000 underallocated
Sally makes deposits into a retirement account every year from the age of 30 until she retires at age 65. a) If Sally deposits $ 1100$1100 per year and the account earns interest at a rate of 9 %9% per year, compounded annually, how much does she have in the account when she retires? b) How much of that total amount is from Sally's deposits? How much is interest?
Answer:
a)
Balance of account at retirement = $237,281.83
b)
Total Deposited amount = $38,500
Interest Amount = $198,781.83
Explanation:
A fix periodic payments for the specific period of time is the annuity payment. Deposit of $1,100 per year in retirement account is annuity payment.
a)
We can calculate the balance of account on retirement by using following formula
Future Value of Annuity = P x ( 1 + r )^n - 1 / r
Where
P = Periodic payments = $1,100
r = 9%
n = 65 years - 30 years = 35 years
Placing values in the formula
Balance of account at retirement = $1,100 X ( 1 + 9% )^35 - 1 / 9%
Balance of account at retirement = $237,281.83
b)
Total Deposited amount = $1,100 x 35 = $38,500
Interest Amount = Balance of account at retirement - Total Deposited amount = $237,281.83 - $38,500 = $198,781.83
Which of the following statements is true? In market equilibrium:
a. There are uncomsummated wealth destroying transactions
b. There are unconsummated value creating transactions
c. None of these
d. There are no unconsummated wealth creating transactins
Answer: d. There are no unconsummated wealth creating transactions
Explanation:
In an equilibrium, a price has been reached that everyone is satisfied with. This is why there are no unconsummated wealth creating transactions.
The market has managed to bring together people who are want a certain good more than they will pay for it and sellers who value the good less than they will receive for it. The Equilibrium therefore sets a price that is fair on both these people which will mean that they will not be able to unfairly trade with one another. The person who values the good more than they can pay will be able to pay the person who values the goods less than they will receive. Equilibrium has brought them to a middle ground.
Hahn Flooring Company uses a perpetual inventory system.
A. Sales returns of $97,650 and merchandise returns of $48,100 are estimated for the current year's sales.
B. The inventory account has a balance of $673,400, while physical inventory indicates that $663,800 of merchandise is on hand.
Journalize the December 31 adjusting entries based on the above transactions. Assume that the inventory shrinkage is a normal amount. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles.
Answer and Explanation:
The adjusting journal entries are as follows
1. Sales $97,650
To Customer refunds payable $97,650
(Being the sales return is recorded)
For recording this we debited the sales as it reduced the sales and credited the customer refund payable as it increased the liabilities
2. Estimated Returns inventory $48,100
To Cost of goods sold $48,100
(Being the merchandise return is recorded)
For recording this we debited the estimated returns inventory and credited the cost of goods sold
3. Cost of goods sold $9,600
To Inventory $9,600
(Being the inventory shrinkage is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cost of goods sold as it increased the expenses and credited the inventory as it reduced the assets
The computation is shown below:
= Balance of inventory account - physical inventory merchandise on hand
= $673,400 - $663,800
= $9,600
A firm sells 1000 units per week. It charges $15 per unit, the average variable costs are $10, and the average costs are $25. In the long run, the firm should a. Shut-down because it is cost effective to pay off the remaining fixed costs b. Continue operating as the firm is covering all the variable costs and some of the fixed costs c. Shut-down as the firm is making a loss of $10,000 per week d. Shut-down as price is lower than average cost
Answer:
b. Continue operating as the firm is covering all the variable costs and some of the fixed costs
Explanation:
A firm should shutdown operations if its price is less than average variable cost.
The price the firm sells is $15
Average variable cost is $10.
Price is greater than average variable cost in excess of $5.
The $5 covers some of the average fixed cost.

2. The Fourth of July Company agreed to ship a quantity of fireworks to Behan. After Behan pays in full, he learns that state law prohibits this type of sale. Before the fireworks are sent, Behan calls to cancel this contract and to demand his money back. May he recover his money in court
Answer:
Behan will recover his amount.
Explanation:
The contract has not been formed as the contract is only enforceable if the contract is legally allowed which means that the selling of fireworks in this case scenario is not allowed and hence Behan and Fourth of July Company are both equally responsible for not committing to such type of agreements. So the company must payback the money as the contract is not enforceable in the jurisdiction.

In doing this they are applying the knowledge and resources as well as core competencies that made the original company successful to the acquired businesses so that they too can grow as the original company did.
