Answer:
C. $11.03
Explanation:
We need to first compute the firm's value which is shown below.
Firm's value = Free cash flow ÷ (Weighted average cost of capital - Growth rate)
Firm's value = $4.7 million ÷ ( 10.8% - 3.7%)
= $4.7 million ÷ 7.1%
= $66,197,183
Stock price = (Firm value - Debt) ÷ Number of shares
= ($66,197,183 - $33,100,000) ÷ 3,000,000
= $33,097,183 ÷ 3,000,000
= $11.03
Suppose Fuzzy Button Clothing Company is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Alpha) that will require an initial investment of $550,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows: Year Cash Flow
Year 1 $375,000
Year 2 $475,000
Year 3 $425,000
Year 4 $500,000
Required:
Fuzzy Button Clothing Company's weighted average cost of capital is 7%, and project Alpha has the same risk as the firm's average project. Based on the cash flows, what is project Alpha's net present value (NPV)?
Answer:
Project Net Present Value = $943,724.89
Explanation:
The NPV is the difference between the PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.
NPV of an investment:
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
PV of cash inflow= $375,000 ×1.07^(-1) + (475,000× 1.07^(-2)+ 425,000× 1.07^(-3) + 500,000 × 1.07^(-4) = 1,493,724.889
Initial cost = 550,000
NPV = 1,493,724.88 - 550,000 = 943,724.89
Project Net Present Value = $943,724.89
Jay Seago is suing the manufacturer of his car for $3.5 million because of a defect that he believes caused him to have an accident. The accident kept him out of work for a year. The company has offered him a settlement of $700,000, of which Jay would receive $600,000 after attorneys’ fees. His attorney has advised him that he has a 50% chance of winning his case. If he loses, he will incur attorneys’ fees and court costs of $75,000. If he wins, he is not guaranteed his full requested settlement. His attorney believes that there is a 50% chance he could receive the full settlement, in which case Jay would realize $2 million after his attorney takes her cut, and a 50% chance that the jury will award him a lesser amount of $1 million, of which Jay would get $500,000. Using decision tree analysis, decide whether Jay should proceed with his lawsuit against the manufacturer.
Answer:
Since the expected value is higher for not suing ($600,000), then Jay should not sue. The expected value of the best case scenario in case of suing is only $500,000 and in the expected value of the worst case scenario is -$37,500.
Explanation:
he decides to not sue = expected value $600,000
he decides to sue:
50% chance of winning

Segmented Income Statement Gorman Nurseries Inc. grows poinsettias and fruit trees in a green house/nursery operation. The following information was provided for the coming year.
Poinsettias Fruit Trees
Sales $970,000 $3,100,000
Variable cost of goods sold 460,000 1,630,000
Direct fixed overhead 160,000 200,000
A sales commission of 4% of sales is paid for each of the two product lines. Direct fixed selling and administrative expense was estimated to be $146,000 for the poinsettia line and $87,000 for the fruit tree line. Common fixed overhead for the nursery operation was estimated to be $800,000; common selling and administrative expense was estimated to be $450,000.
Required:
Prepare a segmented income statement for Gorman Nurseries for the coming year, using variable costing.
Answer:
Poinsettias records a loss of $118,125
Fruit Trees records a profit of $92,325
The company therefore records an overall $25,800 loss
NB: See the workings below see the assumption mad to allocate common expenses since none is given in the question.
Explanation:
Variable costing income statement is a type of income statement that records variable cost separately first to determine the contribution margin and thereafter record the fixed cost which is further split into direct fixed expenses and common expenses.
The segmented income statement for Gorman Nurseries for the coming year can therefore be presented as follows:

Segment Net Income (loss) (118,125) 92,325 (25,800)
Workings:
w1. Variable selling expenses = Sales * Commission percentage
Poinsettias = $970,000 * 4% = $38,8000
Fruit Trees = $3,100,000 * 4% = $124,000
w2. Allocation of common expenses using the following assuptions:
a) Use cost of goods sold (COGS) to allocate Common fixed overhead:
Poinsettias = (460,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $176,077
Fruit Trees = (1,630,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $623,923
b) Use common selling and administrative expense using Sales:
Poinsettias = (970,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $176,077
Fruit Trees = (3,100,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $623,923
Which of the following markets has a barrier to entry? A. There are already many fast food restaurants in the City of Buffalo. B. Stan's Garbage Company runs the only trash collection service in town. C. Crystal develops a new product and patents it. D. Gold can only be mined in certain places in the world.
Answer: C. Crystal develops a new product and patents it.
Explanation:
A Patent is one of the ways that a monopoly can be formed in an industry. A Patent is a government issued guarantee that other entities should not tamper with the product that was patented unless they get permission from the patentee to do so.
Patents in the United States usually last for 20 years and in that time only the people who patented it may use it. This is a Government enforced barrier to entry as other companies cannot make the product in question thereby creating a monopoly for the people that did patent it.
When labor productivity increases over time, generally A) it is due to increases in the number of workers b) so do average wages C) it results in higher prices for goods and services .
Answer:
b) so do average wages
Explanation:
In perfect competition's equilibrium, productive factors are paid according to their marginal productivity. This means that productive factors' payments will be directly explained by their productivity. This comes from the fact that a firm maximizes profits, subject to its budget constraint, in an optimal way. Equilibrium solution will result in the following condition: [tex]\frac{MP_L}{MP_K} =\frac{P_L}{P_K}=\frac{Wages}{P_K}[/tex], where [tex]MP_L[/tex] is the marginal productivity of labour and [tex]PM_K[/tex] is the marginal product of capital,[tex]P_L[/tex] is the price of labour (or wages) and [tex]P_K[/tex] is the price of capital. Then, because the price of labour is proportional to its productivity, if labour productivity rises, the price of labour will increase.Nonuniform Inputs, Equivalent Units Terry Linens Inc. manufactures bed and bath linens.

You are scheduled to receive $20,000 in two years. When you receive it, you will invest it for six more years at 6.8 percent per year. How much will you have in eight years?
Answer:
The amount you will have in eight years is $29,679.56
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount you will have in eight years we would have to use the following formula:
amount you will have in eight years=PV*(1+r)∧n
According to the given data:
PV=$20,000
r=6.8%
n=6
Therefore, amount you will have in eight years=$20,000*(1+6.8%)∧6
amount you will have in eight years=$29,679.56
A company incurs $2,700,000 of overhead each year in three departments: Ordering and Receiving, Mixing,?
and Testing. The company prepares 2,000 purchase orders, works 50,000 mixing hours, and performs 1,500 tests per year in producing 200,000 drums of Goo and 600,000 drums of Slime. The following data are available:
Department Expected use of Driver Cost
Ordering and Receiving 2,000 $800,000
Mixing 50,000 1,000,000
Testing 1,500 900,000
Production information for Slime is as follows:
Expected use of Driver
Ordering and Receiving 1,600
Mixing 30,000
Testing 1,000
Compute the amount of overhead assigned to Slime.
a) $1,350,000
b) $2,025,000
c) $1,645,234d) $1,840,000
Answer:
Total allocated overhead= $1,840,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Department Expected use of Driver Cost
Ordering and Receiving 2,000 $800,000
Mixing 50,000 1,000,000
Testing 1,500 900,000
Production information for Slime is as follows:
Expected use of Driver
Ordering and Receiving 1,600
Mixing 30,000
Testing 1,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Ordering and Receiving= 800,000/2,000= $400 per order
Mixing= 1,000,000/50,000= $20 per mixing hour
Testing= 900,000/1,500 = $600 per test
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Ordering and Receiving= 400*1,600= 640,000
Mixing=20*30,000= 600,000
Testing= 600*1,000= 600,000
Total allocated overhead= $1,840,000
The Driftbuster Sno-Mobile repair company has a seasonal demand for its service, and there is a general shortage of skilled Sno-Mobile mechanics in it's region. Which one of the following aggregate planning choices is most suitable for this situation
A. Allow some backorder for short-term demand surges
B. Combination of allowing backorder for short-term demand surges and building anticipation inventories.
C. Combination of hiring/firing workers to match demand and building anticipation inventories.
D. Combination of allowing backorder for short-term demand surges and offering reduced prices during the slack season.
Answer: Combination of allowing backorder for short-term demand surges and building anticipation inventories.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the Driftbuster Sno-Mobile repair company has a seasonal demand for its service, and there is a general shortage of skilled Sno-Mobile mechanics in its region.
Based on the situation above, the planning choice is to allow backorder for short-term demand surges and build anticipation inventories. Since demand is seasonal, it's vital for the company to build anticipation inventories. It's also important for the company to create orders for short term surges.
Equipment was purchased for $78000 on January 1, 2018. Freight charges amounted to $4400 and there was a cost of $10400 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $15100 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. What is the amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2019, if the straight-line method of depreciation is used
Answer:
The amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2019 is $31,080
Explanation:
Straight line method, charges a fixed amount of depreciation over the use of an asset in the business.
Depreciation Expense Using Straight line method is calculated as :
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Estimated useful life
First step is to determine the cost of the equipment.
Calculation of Cost of Equipment :
Purchase price $78,000
Freight charges $4,400
Installation costs $10,400
Total Costs $92,800
Then calculate the depreciation expense :
Depreciation Expense = ($92,800 - $15,100) / 5 years
= $15,540
Accumulated depreciation by December 31, 2019 is calculated as :
Accumulated depreciation = $15,540 × 2
= $31,080
Conclusion :
The amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2019 is $31,080.

If increasing the number of goods produced is one way to increase productivity what is the other way to increase productivity?
A. Raise the price of the goods
B. Decrease the resources invested
C. Increase market share
D. Lower the quality of the materials used
Answer:
Explanation:
Start with D. You might be able to make a cheaper product and increase your profit margin, but eventually the word would would get around and it may lower your productivity because the sales would decrease.
The market determines whether or not you would be able increase the market share. I suppose this answer is possible, but it would mean that you would need to have capital to do it. The market need not cooperate. I wouldn't pick C unless I had to.
How can you reduce the resources invested? That should decrease the number of objects originally need for manufacturing the poduct in the first place. Not B.
Raise the price of the goods? How can that help? That increases the profit margin, not the number of goods produced.
I don't know what the best answer is out of these 4. None of them seem appropriate.
If I had to choose, I guess the best one is D
Answer:
im pretty its C

Patrick Inc. makes industrial solvents sold in 5-gallon drum containers. Planned production in units for the first 3 months of the coming year is: January43,800 February41,000 March50,250 Each drum requires 5.5 gallons of chemicals and one plastic drum container. Company policy requires that ending inventories of raw materials for each month be 15% of the next month's production needs. That policy was met for the ending inventory of December in the prior year. The cost of one gallon of chemicals is $2.00. The cost of one drum is $1.60. Required: 1. Calculate the ending inventory of chemicals in gallons for December of the prior year, and for January and February. What is the beginning inventory of chemicals for January
Answer:
Ending inventory (December) = $72,270
Ending inventory (January) = $67,650
Ending inventory (February) = $82,912.50
Beginning Inventory (January ) = $72,270
Explanation:
The ending inventory of chemicals in gallons :
Note : Based on Company policy, this was determined as 15% of next month's production needs.
Ending inventory (December) = 43,800 × 15% × 5.5 gallons × $2.00
= $72,270
Ending inventory (January) = 41,000 × 15% × 5.5 gallons × $2.00
= $67,650
Ending inventory (February) = 50,250 × 15% × 5.5 gallons × $2.00
= $82,912.50
The beginning inventory of chemicals for January is equal to the Ending inventory for December that is $72,270
In the multiple-step income statement, cost of merchandise sold is subtracted from a.selling expenses. b.sales. c.gross profit. d.operating expenses.
Answer:

As we know that
Income statement refers to the statement in which the revenues and the expenses incurred should be recorded
While on the other hand the multiple-step income statement refer to the statement in which there are various level like gross profit, total operating expenses etc
Plus we also know that
Gross profit = Sales - cost of goods sold
Therefore the cost of merchandise should be deducted from sales so that we can find out the gross profit
The objective of financial reporting include all of the following except to provide information that Group of answer choices is useful to the IRS in assessing taxes to business entities. is useful to those making investment decisions. is useful to those lending out money to business entities. is useful to creditors in making decisions about providing resources to business entities.
Answer:
is useful to the IRS in assessing taxes to business entities.
Explanation:
The financial accounting standards board (FASB) is a private, non-profit organization saddled with the responsibility of establishing and maintaining standard financial accounting and reporting for general guidance of individuals such as investors, issuers and auditors.
Financial reporting can be defined as the formal communication or disclosure of financial information and statements to present and potential users such as investors and creditors.
The objective of financial reporting include all of the following to provide information that:
1. Is useful to those making investment decisions. This information would help creditors to determine whether they should lend to a client or not; or assist investors in deciding whether they should invest in a business or not.
2. Is useful to those lending out money to business entities. When investors and creditors are well furnished with financial information about an organization, they would be able to assess the amounts of cash, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows from dividends or interest.
3. Is useful to creditors in making decisions about providing resources to business entities.
In conclusion, the financial report is not useful to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in assessing taxes to business entities.
You are the new manager in an Indian office. You ask one of your supervisors to move a desk and place it in another corner of the office. The next day you notice it has not yet been done. Why
Answer:
Explanation:
Since not much information has been provided, the two most likely reasons as to why this has not been done would be the following,
One would be that the supervisor did not understand your request due to language barriers that you are not accustomed to since this is your first time working in an Indian office.
The Second most likely reason is that it is not the supervisors job to move your office furniture around. The supervisor is a higher position than manager and his primary responsibility is to look over your performance and make sure that you are doing what you have been hired to do.

In theory, Texas has a dual-budget system, meaning the budget authority is shared by the governor and the legislature; however, in practice, the primary player(s) in the budget is/are
Answer:
The legislature.
Explanation:
A budget can be defined as a financial plan of estimated revenues, resources and expenses over a specific period of time in a particular country. It is usually reevaluated based on future plans and objectives periodically, typically on an annual basis.
In theory, Texas has a dual-budget system, meaning the budget authority is shared by the governor and the legislature; however, in practice, the primary player in the budget is the legislature.
In accordance with the guidelines set by the Legislative Budget Board (LBB) in Texas, all agencies in the state prepares and send a Legislative Appropriations Request (LAR) to the Legislative Budget Board (LBB) and the Governor’s Office of Budget, Planning and Policy (GOBPP).
The legislature is the primary player in the budget process because it is responsible for reviewing the budget proposals through the House Finance Committees and the Senate.
The legislature being the primary player in the budget comprises of ten (10) members from the Texas House of Representatives and Texas Senate, it is chaired by the Lieutenant Governor. A single bill is then passed after the appropriation bill has been voted on by the respective chambers.
Additionally, the single bill is then sent to the Comptroller's office for verification and certification, and lastly it's signed by the Governor into law.

To calculate the number of units required to reach the objective, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (197,000 + 224,500) / (107 - 32)
Break-even point in units= 5,620 units
Bethesda Water has an issue of preferred stock outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.80 percent that sells for $92.78 per share. If the par value is $100, what is the cost of the company's preferred stock?
Answer:
Cost of preferred stock=5.17%
Explanation:
A preferred stock entitles its investor to a fixed amount of dividend for the foreseeable future. The dividend payable by a preferred stock is similar to a perpetuity. Hence, the price of the stock would be the same as the present value of the dividend payable for the foreseeable future.
A preferred stock entitles its owner to a fixed amount of dividend. It is calculated as follows:
Cost of preferred stock = (Preference dividend/stock price ) × 100
Preference dividend = Coupon rate × Nominal value
DATA
Coupon = 4.80%
Nominal Value = 100
Stock price = $92.78
Preference dividend = 4.80% × 100=4.8
Cost of preferred stock = 4.8/92.78× 100 = 5.17%
Cost of preferred stock=5.17%

QS 18-11 Margin of safety LO P2 Zhao Co. has fixed costs of $455,600. Its single product sells for $191 per unit, and variable costs are $124 per unit. If the company expects sales of 10,000 units, compute its margin of safety in dollars and as a percent of expected sales.
Answer:
The margin of safety in dollars is $611,200 and the margin of safety percent is 32%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the margin of safety in dollars and as a percent of expected sales If the company expects sales of 10,000 units we would have to calculate the following:
margin of safety in dollars=Margin of Safety units*sold price
sold price=$191 per unit
Margin of Safety units = Sales - Breakeven units
sales=10,000 units
Breakeven units = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit
B reakeven units= $455,600/($191-$124) =
B reakeven units= 6800
Margin of Safety units =10,000 - 6.800
Margin of Safety units =3,200
Therefore, Margin of Safety in dollars = 3,200*$191
Margin of Safety in dollars =$611,200
Margin of Safety percent=Margin of Safety units/sales
Margin of Safety percent= 3,200/10,000
Margin of Safety percent=32%
The margin of safety in dollars is $611,200 and the margin of safety percent is 32%
A manufacturer of hardboard and fiber cement sidings and panels purchased new equipment for its new product line for $20,000. A declining balance depreciation at a rate of 1.5 times the straight line rate with a 5-year recovery period and an estimated salvage value of $8000 was used to write off the capital investment. The company expects to realize net revenue of $57,000 each year for the next 5 years. However, due to the sudden change in business direction, the company decided to sell the equipment after 2 years of operation for $21,000. Assuming an effective tax of 40% and an after-tax MARR of 12% per year, calculate the future worth of the after-tax cash flow at the end of year 2.(HINT: skip $ and comma symbols) Year BTCF ATCF 0 -20000 -20,000 1 57,000 36,600.00 2a 57,000 35,880.00 2b 25579 ...
Answer:
Hello from your question there is a mix up of the figures for the BTCF AFTER 2 years and the BTCF given in the table so i would work with the value contained in the table i.e ( 25579 )
answer : 71052
Explanation:
Declining balance amount can be expressed/calculated using this formula a
[tex]\frac{1.5}{N} ; d_{k} = B ( 1 - k )^{k-1} (R ) ;\\ Bv_{k} = B ( 1 - R )^{k}[/tex] also R = 1.5 / 5 = 0.3 , k = 2 years
therefore Bv[tex]_{2}[/tex] = 20000 ( 1 - 0.3 [tex])^{2}[/tex] = 9800
Mv = 25579
Recapturing depreciation = Mv - Bv = 25579 - 9800 = 15779
BTCF is calculated as = ( capital investment + GI - expense incurred )
TI = GI - Expense - Depreciation + Depreciation recapture + capital gain
ATCF = BTCF - taxes
taxes = TI (l)
The future worth of the after-tax cash flow at the end of Year 2
Fw = -20000(f/p,12%,2) + 36600(f/p,12,1) + 35880 + 19268
= -20000(1.2544) + 36600(1.1200) + 55148 = 71052
