Garcia Company has 10,400 units of its product that were produced last year at a total cost of $156,000. The units were damaged in a rainstorm because the warehouse where they were stored developed a leak in the roof. Garcia can sell the units as is for $3 each or it can repair the units at a total cost of $18,400 and then sell them for $7 each. Calculate the incremental net income if the units are repaired
Answer:
$23,200
Explanation:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Incremental
no repairs repair units revenue
sales revenue $31,200 $0 ($31,200)
repair costs $0 -$18,400 ($18,400)
revenue from $0 $72,800 $72,800
selling repaired units
total $23,200
Incremental revenues refer to the extra or additional revenues generated by a business activity or transaction. In this case, repairing and then selling the damaged units would increase income by $23,200.
a new hockey arena at a cost of $2,500,000. It received a downpayment of $500,000 from local businesses to support the project and now needs to borrow $2,000,000 to complete the project. It therefore decides to issue $2,000,000 of 11%, callable, 10-year bonds. These bonds were issued on January 2018 and pay interest on January 1 and July 1. The bonds yield 10%. Instructions: a. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2018 b. Prepare a bond amortixation schedule up to and including January 1, 2022 c.

a. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2018
we must first determine the market price of the bonds:
PV of face value = $2,000,000 / (1 + 5%)²⁰ = $753,778.97 ≈ $753,779
PV of coupon payments = $110,000 x 12.462 (PV annuity factor, 5%, 20 periods) = $1,370,820
market value of the bonds = $753,779 + $1,370,820 = $2,124,599

Two cities are identical in all respects except City A has an assessment ratio of 100% and City B (in another state) has an assessment ratio of 25%. Both cities need to raise $1,000,000 in property tax revenues. The statutory tax rates on property are
Available Options are:
A. higher in City A than City B.
B. higher in City B than City A.
C. identical in both cities.
D. dependent on non-property tax revenues in each.
Answer:
Option B. Higher in the city B than in city A.
Explanation:
If we talk about the assessment ration, then it is calculated as under:
Assessment ratio = Value of property assessed by municipality / Fair Market value of the property
This ratio helps in calculating the property tax for each year and if the ratio is higher then the property tax rate will be set higher to collect the target property tax revenue and vice versa.
As in this case, the assessment ratio of company B is 100% which is higher than city A, which means that the city B will require higher tax rates to collect the target property tax revenue.
Hence the property tax rate in city B will be higher than City A to collect the same target property tax revenue.

E-Eyes just issued some new preferred stock. The issue will pay an annual dividend of $13 in perpetuity, beginning 11 years from now. If the market requires a 6 percent return on this investment, how much does a share of preferred stock cost today
Answer:
The cost of preferred stock today is $114.14
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of preferred stock today, we first need to determine the cost of each share of preferred stock 11 years from now when it starts paying dividends and then discount it back to today's value.
The preferred stock pays a constant dividend and after equal interval of time for an indefinite period. Thus, it is like a perpetuity. The present value of perpetuity is,
Present value = Dividend / r
Where,
r is the required rate of return
Value Year 11 = 13 / 0.06
Value Year 11 = 216.6666667
The present value is,
Present value = 216.6666667 / (1+0.06)^11
Present value = $114.137 rounded off to $114.14
A company purchased a commercial dishwasher by paying cash of $5,300. The dishwasher's fair value on the date of the purchase was $5,700. The company incurred $320 in transportation costs, $210 installation fees, and paid a $230 fine for illegal parking while the dishwasher was being delivered. For what amount will the company record the dishwasher
Answer:
$5,830
Explanation:
Relevant data provided
Cash paid = $5,300
Transportation cost = $320
Installation fees = $210
The computation of the amount that will record the dishwasher is shown below:-
Total cost = Cash paid + Transportation cost + Installation fees
= $5,300 + $320 + $210
= $5,830
Therefore for computing the total cost we simply applied the above formula and ignore all other values as they are not relevant.
the 360 degree feedback performance appraisal system tries to improve performance ratings by forcing managers to :
Answer:
Include information from a wide range of sources in their reviews.
Explanation:
Performance appraisal refers to the evaluation of employees' performance by the human resource managers in an organization. The 360-degree feedback performance appraisal system is a type of performance appraisal that sources information about an employee from various sources, which ranges from subordinates, lateral and supervisory sources. This implies that the manager seeks to gain insight about the employee from his fellow employees, from his supervisors, his subordinates, and sometimes from external sources such as the customers who interact with that employee on a daily basis.
Most managers use this system of appraisal for developmental purposes and evaluation of an employee's performance. Information sourced can then be used to help the employees improve on their skills or promote/demote them.

#28 The Canadian subsidiary of a U.S. company reported cost of goods sold of 50,000 C$, for the current year ended December 31. The beginning inventory was 15,000 C$, and the ending inventory was 10,000 C$. Spot rates for various dates are as follows:
Date beginning inventory was acquired $1.08 = 1C$
Rate at beginning of the year $1.10 = 1C$
Weighted average rate for the year $1.12 = 1C$
Date ending inventory was acquired $1.13 = 1C$
Assuming the Canadian dollar is the functional currency of the Canadian subsidiary, the translated amount of cost of goods sold that should appear in the consolidated income statement is
Answer is C. $56,000
Answer:
$56,000
Explanation:
Data:
Cost of good sold (single) = $50,000
Weighted average rate of the year = $1.12
Cost of good sold consolidated = ???????
Solution:
In order to find the translated amount of cost of goods sold that should appear in the consolidated income statement, we will multiply the cost of goods sold given for Canadian subsidiary with the weighted average rate of the year.
Calculation:
Cost of good sold (consolidated) = $50,000 x $1.12
Cost of good sold (consolidated) = $56,000
A random sample of 10 parking meters in a beach community showed the following incomes for a day. Assume the incomes are normally distributed. $3.60 $4.50 $2.80 $6.30 $2.60 $5.20 $6.75 $4.25 $8.00 $3.00 Find the 95% confidence interval for the true mean. (Be sure to indicate your calculations for mean and standard deviation)
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the true mean would be between 3.39 and 6.01
Explanation:
In order to calculate the 95% confidence interval for the true mean we would have to calculate first the mean and standard deviation as follows:
mean=∑Xi/n
mean=$3.60 $4.50 $2.80 $6.30 $2.60 $5.20 $6.75 $4.25 $8.00 $3.00/10
mean=4.7
standard deviation=√∑(Xi-mean)∧2/n-1
standard deviation=1.83
t critical=2.262
The confidence interval=mean +/- t critical*standard deviation/√10
The confidence interval=4.7 +/- 2.262*1.8338/√10
The confidence interval=(3.39, 6.01)
The 95% confidence interval for the true mean would be between 3.39 and 6.01

Westchester Corp. is considering two equally risky, mutually exclusive projects, both of which have normal cash flows. Project A has an IRR of 11%, while Project B's IRR is 14%. When the WACC is 8%, the projects have the same NPV. Given this information, which of the following statements is CORRECT?a. If the WACC is 9%, Project A's NPV will be higher than Project B's. b. If the WACC is greater than 14%, Project A's IRR will exceed Project B's. c. If the WACC is 13%, Project A's NPV will be higher than Project B's. d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's. e. If the WACC is 6%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.
Answer:
d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the return in which the NPV is zero i.e cash inflows equal to the initial investment
While the WACC refers to the cost of capital by considering the capital structure i.e cost of equity, cost of preferred stock and cost of debt by taking their weightage
Now if the WACC is 9% so project B NPV would be higher as compared to project A as we can see that project B IRR is greater than the project A IRR
Therefore option d is correct
g Donald’s employer fires Donald after only four months on the job, a clear breach of Donald’s written twelve-month employment contract. Donald is entitled to recover as damages:
Answer:
Compensatory Damages
Explanation:
Based on this scenario it can be said that Donald is entitled to Compensatory Damages. This is a lawsuit that covers the loss that the non-breaching party incurred as a result of the breach of contract. In this scenario, Donald's employer breached the contract by firing Donald before the twelve months. Therefore Donald can sue for compensatory damages which would be the amount of money that he would have made in the rest of the twelve months.

Therefore, the participation of John and Jeff would be considered as material.
Firm Y has issued 500 million shares of stock at $1 par value and $200 millino in additional paid in capital. Retained earnings are $5.6 billion. What is the return on equity if net income if net income is $1.1 billion?
Answer:
Return on equity = 17.46%
Explanation:
DATA:
Issued share capital = $500m
Additional Paid-in capital = $200 million
Retained Earnings = $5.6 billion
Net Income = $1.1 billion
Return on Equity = ?
Solution
Return on equity can be calculated by dividing net income in total shareholder's equity
NOTE: ALL THE WORKINGS ARE IN 1000's
Return on equity = Net Income / Shareholder's Equity
Return on equity = 1,100,000 / (500,000 + 200,000 +5,600,000)
Return on equity = $1,100,000/6,300,000
Return on equity = 17.46%
Chamberlain Co. wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 6 percent coupon bonds on the market that sell for $1,083, make semiannual payments, and mature in 20 years. What coupon rate should the company set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par?
Answer:
5.36%
Explanation:
We would need to calculate the yield to maturity of the current bonds:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
coupon = $1,000 x 6% x 1/2 = $30face value = $1,000market value = $1,083n = 20 x 2 = 40YTM = {$30 + [($1,000 - $1,083)/40]} / [($1,000 + $1,083)/2] = $27.925 / $1,041.50 = 0.026812 x 2 = 0.05362 = 5.36%
Since the bond's coupon rate is higher than the market rate, the bonds are sold at a premium. In order to sell bonds at the par value, you must lower the coupon rate.

"The conversion ratio of these convertible debentures is set at issuance at 200:1. The trust indenture for the debentures includes an "anti-dilutive" covenant. The company wants to issue 50,000 additional common shares. The conversion price after the issuance of the additional common shares will be:"
Answer:
$4
Explanation:
The conversion price of the convertible bonds set at issuance was $5 per share ($1000 par/200 conversion ratio). If the company issues more common shares, the market value of outstanding shares will fall. For instance, if the common stock price is trading at $5, Therefore, the bond and the common are at parity. If 25% more share isnissued by the company as it does in the aforementioned example -- there would be $1000000 share of common at $5 par or 200000 shares outstanding and the company intends to share 50000 more shares, or 25% more), the adjusted conversion price of the stock after issuance will now become $5/1.25 = $4 per share.
Nonetheless, i the conversion isn't being adjusted, the convertible security which was "at the money" goes "out the money". The protect convertible security holders, an anti-dilutive covenant is included in the trust indenture. The conversion price is adjusted for these dilutive effects. The new conversion pricewill be $5 original price/1.25 = $4

Aspin Corporation’s charter authorizes issuance of
2,000,000 shares of common stock. Currently, 1,400,000 shares are outstand-
ing, and 100,000 shares are being held as treasury stock. The firm wishes to
raise $48,000,000 for a plant expansion. Discussions with its investment bankers
indicate that the sale of new common stock will net the firm $60 per share.
Answer and Explanation:
The calculation of the sale of new common stock is shown below:-
a. Not issued = Authorized shares - Outstanding shares - Treasury stock
= 2,000,000 - 1,400,000 + 100,000
= 500,000
Now
Maximum shares = Not issued + Treasury stock
= 500,000 + 100,000
= 600,000
b. Since if we find out the number of shares that should be issued is
= $48,000,000 ÷ $60 per share
= 800,000
But the maximum shares is 600,000 so this shares would only be issued upto this limit only
Therefore the funds should not be raised
c. Now The firm could also develop extra 200,000 shares together it get amortized also.
Hence, it can sell 800,000 shares and the amount could rise to $48,000,000

Answer:
e) 118.3.
Explanation:
days' sales in inventory = (average inventory x 365 days) / cost of goods sold year 2
cost of goods sold year 2 = $398,000inventory year 2 = $129,000days' sales in inventory = ($129,000 x 365 days) / $398,000 = 118.30 days
Days' sales in inventory measures how much time it takes on average for a company to sell its inventory.
Marigold Corporation acquires a coal mine at a cost of $420,000. Intangible development costs total $105,000. After extraction has occurred, Marigold must restore the property (estimated fair value of the obligation is $84,000), after which it can be sold for $168,000. Marigold estimates that 4,200 tons of coal can be extracted.
Required:
If 735 tons are extracted the first year, prepare the journal entry to record depletion.
Answer:
Inventory Dr $77,175
To Accumulated depletion $77,175
(being the depletion is recorded)
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Inventory Dr $77,175
To Accumulated depletion $77,175
(being the depletion is recorded)
For recording this we debited the inventory as it increased the assets and credited the accumulated depletion as it decreased the assets
The computation is shown below:
= (Cost of coal mine + intangible development cost + estimated fair value of the obligation - sales value) ÷ (extracted estimated tons) × (extracted tons for the first year)
= ($420,000 + $105,000 + $84,000 - $168,000) ÷ (4,200 tons) × (735 tons)
= $77,175
As a Cost and Management Consultant in the banking industry in Ghana, one of your highly esteemed clients, a top tier banking institution in Ghana has required of you to advise them as to whether target costing can be applied to the banking industry in Ghana. They further require you to advise them on what products or services can target costing be applied
Answer with its Explanation:
The target costing is a costing technique that helps to reduce the cost of the company operations by setting cost targets for the operations. The first step under target costing is to set a selling price for the product and the second step is to set the target profit margin. Now at this position we are able to derive the target cost by taking the difference of profit margin and the selling price of the product. At this stage the actions and reforms required to achieve this target cost are determined and implemented in the current operating activities. The best part of the target costing is that it says that the pricing though matters but the main aspect of a product success is its cost controls. If the company is able to control the cost of the product then it can control the movement of prices in the market. So target costing specially focuses and stresses upon cost control procedures.
As Target costing is all about cost controlling and can be applied to any sector. In Ghana, target costing will help to control the cost of the services that the banking sector renders to its customers. This reduction in services cost can be achieved by automation, installation of new softwares, Investing in automated teller machines, etc. By gaining efficiencies, the banking sector will substantially reduce its cost thus achieving its target cost.
By achieving the target cost the bank will have to sell at the same rate as the bank had invested its time and money in efficiency gaining activities. There are a lot of activities and products that can be automated and that can help to achieve the target cost. For example, promoting internet banking will reduce the cost of ATM management, paper cost, management time, additional branch opening or extension of building, etc. We can see how easily internet banking will assist the banking sector to achieve its target costs.
Select the most appropriate answer about bringing components from other continents.
A. It never affects innovation of the final product.
B. It potentially results in better products for the customer.
C. It always increases the cost of the final product.
D. It always lowers the quality of the final product.
E. It has no impact on the production lines in the home country.
Answer: B. It potentially results in better products for the customer.
Explanation:
Importation of components for the production of a good might lead to a potentially better product for consumers because the knowledge base of a superior country in manufacturing the said component would be utilized.
One benefit of Globalization is that better products than can be made locally can be sourced from outside countries so that products are better and stronger.
If a company imports components it could be because they are trying to save costs or it could be that they found Superior products than they did at home. Should the latter be the case then there is a chance that they will make better products because of these better components.

Government officials have hired your consulting firm to encourage more people to use the theater . In the initial meeting, you discussed several options for increasing demand. Three suggestions are listed below. Based on your knowledge of the law of demand, what is your recommendation for each suggestion?
Suggestion 1: Reduce the price of public transportation
Choose one:
a. Not recommend
b. Recommend
Suggestion 2: Increase the prices of private transportation by increasing the price of parking and gasoline
Choose one:
a. Not recommend
b. Recommend
Suggestion 3: Offer monthly and yearly passes that reduce the price per ride
Choose one:
a. Not recommend
b. Recommend
Answer:
Suggestion 1: Not Recommended
Suggestion 2: Recommended
Suggestion 3: Not Recommended
Explanation:
The law of demand says that the increase in the price of the commodity will result in decrease in the utility derived from that product and as a result the consumption of the product falls.
So by keeping the law of demand in view, we can say that the:
Reduction in price of public transportation is not recommended because every transporter will start investing in public transport and we will have higher number of buses per person.The increase in the price of parking and gasoline is recommended as the increase in parking fees and gasoline cost will discourage people to buy private transportation.Offer of monthly and yearly passes to reduce the price per ride is not recommended as it encourages the cyclists to travel via bus. Hence it is not recommended.Two solutions are investigated for a safety program Soution 1 First cost ---25,000 annual maintenance cost 4,000 Life -- 2years Solution 2 First cost ---88,000 annual maint 1400 Life 6 years Neither project has a salvage value Compare the two solutions using present value using 15% interest- what is present cost of solution 2
Answer:
Present value for solution 2 = $93,298.28
Solution 1 has a lower cost compared to solution 2. Solution 1 would be more desirable based on the lower cost
Explanation:
Present value is the sum of discounted cashflows
Solution 1
Cash flow in year 0 = 25,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = 4,000
I = 15%
Present value = $31,502.84
Solution 2
Cash flow in year 0 = 88,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 6 = 1,400
I = 15%
Present value = $93,298.28
Solution 1 has a lower cost compared to solution 2. Solution 1 would be more desirable based on the lower cost
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

The cost of units transferred from Work in Process Inventory to Finished Goods Inventory is called the cost of goods manufactured.
1. True
2. False
Answer:
1. True
Explanation:
Work in process inventory is inventory that is still undergoing processing. When the processing is completed, the goods (inventory) become finished goods. And they are transferred to Finished Goods Inventory as cost of goods manufactured. Finished Goods Inventory represents goods that are available for sale. The cost of finished goods inventory also forms part of the cost of goods sold, which is used in determining the gross profit. Accounting for work in process inventory is part of the multi-step system of accumulating and allocating cost of production to finished goods.
Corporation has the following data as of December 31, 2018:
Total Current Liabilities $38,420 Total Stockholders' Equity$ ?
Total Current Assets 62,100 Other Assets 36,800
Long-term Liabilities 179,530 Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net 264,350
Compute the debt to equity ratio at December 31, 2018. (Round your answer to two decimal places, X XX)
Total liabilities Total stockholders' equity Debt to equity ratio
Answer: 1.5
Explanation:
The debt to equity ratio will be calculated as total liabilities divided by the total equities.
The total liabilities is the sum of the total current liabilities and the long term liabilities. This will be:
= 38420 + 179,530
= $217950
Total equities will be the difference between the total assets and total liabilities. This will be:
Total asset = 264,350 + 36,800 + 62,100
= $363,250
Total equity = total asset - total liability
= $363,250 - $217,950
= $145,300
Debt to equity ratio = total liabilities/total equity
= 217950/145,300
= 1.5
