On February 22, Brett Corporation acquired 250 shares of its $3 par value common stock for $26 each. On March 15, the company resold 66 shares for $29 each. What is true of the entry for reselling the shares
Answer: Credit Additional Paid in Capital $198
Explanation:
Brett Corporation reissued the Treasury Stock at $29 which was $3 higher than the amount they had repurchased it for.
When stock is sold for a price higher or lower than they are worth, the balance goes to the Additional Paid-in Capital account. If it is sold higher, the balance is Credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account and if it is sold for lower than it is worth, it is debited.
The Balance here is,
= $3 * 66 resold shares
= $198
This $198 will therefore be credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account.
E-Eyes just issued some new preferred stock. The issue will pay an annual dividend of $14 in perpetuity, beginning 19 years from now. If the market requires a return of 4.4 percent on this investment, how much does a share of preferred stock cost today
Answer:
Price of stock = $181.78
Explanation:
PV of dividend in year 13
PV =A×(1- (1+r)^(-n)/r )
PV of dividend in (year 13) = 14/(0.044=318.18
PV of dividend in year 0
PV = Div× (1+r)^(-n)
Dividend in year 13, r-interest rate, n- number of years
PV in year 0 = 318.1818182 × 1.044^(-13)= 181.78
Price of stock = $181.78
At an open house the listing agent begins giving advice to a prospective buyer regarding how much to offer for the house, without explaining that she is a representative of the sellers. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
a. the agent is not acting in accordance with her agency status
b. the agent is acting as an undisclosed dual agent
c. the agent has breached fiduciary duties to both parties
d. the agent has not violated any duties, because she is not performing real estate services for the buyers
Answer:
d. The agent has not violated any duties, because she is not performing real estate services for the buyers
Explanation:
Here, at the open house, the agent, without proper introduction and without explaining that she represents the seller, started giving advice to a prospective buyer regarding the amount to offer for the house. By offering advice to the buyer and not disclosing who she represents, the agent is now acting as an undisclosed dual agent, also she has breached the loyalty duties to both parties. The agent is also not acting in accordance with her agency status.
Therefore the incorrect option is option D.) The agent has not violated any duties, because she is not performing real estate services for the buyers

Suppose your friend is a music major who sings at weddings. She has no fixed or marginal costs for singing and has two types of customers: 20 customers think it is worth paying $200 to have her sing at their wedding, whereas 10 customers think her singing services are worth only $100. Il earn S if she can charge only one price to:________.
(a) If your friend is able to sing at each wedding and maximizes profits all customers.
(b) She will earn S If she can perfectly price discriminate.
Answer: a. $4,000
b. $5,000
Explanation:
a. If she can sing at each wedding but decides to maximise profits, she will only sing at the weddings of those paying her $200 as it is the higher of the two payment options.
Should she sing at the $200 customer weddings, she would make;
= 20 people * $200
= $4,000
b. Price Discrimination is the charging of different types of customers different prices for the same or similar goods.
If your friend knows how to perfectly charge the two different groups the different prices that they value her at then she will be able to attend and sing at both weddings making her revenue;
= (10* $100) + (20 * $200)
= 1,000 + 4,000
= $5,000
Suppose we hold a forward contract on a stock with expiration 66 months from now. We entered into this contract 66 months ago so that when we entered into the contract, the expiration was T = 1T=1 year. The stock price$ 66 months ago was S_0 = 100S 0 =100, the current stock price is 125125 and the current interest rate is r = 10\%r=10% compounded semi-annually. (This is the same rate that prevailed 66 months ago.) What is the current value of our forward contract? Please submit your answer in dollars rounded to one decimal place so if your answer is 42.67842.678 then you should submit an answer of 42.742.7.
Answer:
The current value of our forward contract is $105.1
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Spot - 6 months ago=$ 100
Spot - Current=125
Interest rate= 10%
Time=12 months
Therefore, to calculate the current value of our forward contract we would have to make the following calculation:
Forward Price=Spot price*e^(rt)
=$100*e^(0.1*0.5)
Forward Price=$105.1
The current value of our forward contract is $105.1
Jolene hired Lacy to find a buyer for her house. Adam was interested in buying the house. If both Jolene and Adam agree, Lacy, a real estate agent, may represent both parties.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Lacy can represent both parties. If Lacy represents both parties this is known as dual agency.
As the “dual” agent Lacy handles all of the communications, paperwork, and negotiations between both parties, that is the buyer and seller who happens to be Jolene and Adam. She is supposed to remain neutral as the facilitator of the deal with no fiduciary duty to either side. Fiduciary duty is to uphold a client's interest in good faith an trust.
A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $100,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $475,000. If the company requires a MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk, determine if it should invest in the new product line. Use the AW method. (Sullivan, 20180327, p. 234) Sullivan, W.

Answer:
$327,909.14
Explanation:
Calculation to determine if it should invest in the new product line.
First step
The Investment cost will be:
Land costs $300,000
Building costs $600,000
Equipment costs $250,000
Additional working capital $100,000
=$1,250,000
Annual revenue $750,000
Annual expenses$475,000
Market value:
$400,000 +$350,000 + $50,000 = $80,0000
N: 10 year
MARR: 15% per year
Using PW method
-$1250000 + ($750,000 – $475,000) (P/A, 15%, 10) +$ 80000(P/F, 15%, 10)
-$1250000-$275,000((1+15)^¹⁰−1/15(1+15)^¹⁰+$3000
Hence,
=-$1,250,000 – $275,000(5.0188) + $3000(0.2472)
= $327,909.14
You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks (If one of the stocks has a beta of 0.66 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio? (Hint: Remember that the market has a Beta=1; also remember that equally invested means that each asset has the same weight- since there are 3 assets, each asset's weight is 1/3 or 0.3333). Enter the answer with 4 decimals (e.g. 1.1234)
Answer:
The beta of the other stock or stock B is 2.34
Explanation:
The beta of the portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. To calculate the beta for the portfolio, we use the following formula,
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolioAs the portfolio is equally as risky as the market, the portfolio beta is assumed to be the same as that of the market and the beta is 1.
The beta is the measure of systematic risk and a risk free asset does not have risk and has a beta of 0.
To calculate the Beta of stock B in the portfolio, we simply put the available values in the formula for the portfolio beta,
1 = 1/3 * 0 + 1/3 * 0.66 + 1/3 * Beta of B
1 = 0 + 0.22 + 1/3 * Beta of B
1 - 0.22 = 1/3 * Beta of B
0.78 * 3 = 1 * Beta of B
2.34 = Beta of B
Thus, the beta of the other stock or stock B is 2.34
Bill Phillips is developing a Monte Carlo simulation to value a complex and thinly traded security. Phillips wants to model one input variable to have negative skewness and a second input variable to have positive excess kurtosis. In a Monte Carlo simulation, Phillips can appropriately use:_________
Answer: Both of them
Explanation:
The Monte Carlo Simulation is a forecasting technique that allows one to find out the probability of occurence of different outcomes which may be difficult to come up with because there are multiple random variables involved.
Monte Carlo simulations are used in many diverse fields such as Finance, Engineering and Science.
As earlier mentioned, this simulation allows for multiple random variables so Phillips can use it to model both the variables to have different characteristics.
A company has net credit sales of $ 1 comma 300 comma 000, beginning net accounts receivable of $ 270 comma 000, and ending net accounts receivable of $ 202 comma 000. What is the days' sales in accounts receivable? (Use 365 days in calculations as needed. Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places, and your final answer to the nearest whole day.)
Answer:
66.36 days
Explanation:
Calculation of the days' sales in accounts receivable .
Using this formula
Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = [Net credit sales (Beginning net account receivable +Ending net account receivable)/2)]
Let plug in the formula
[$1,300,000/($270,000 + $202,000)/2)]
$1,300,000/($472,000/2)
=$1,300,000/236,000
=$5.50 Days' sales in receivables
= 365/5.5
= 66.36 days
Therefore the days' sales in accounts receivable will be 66.36 days
Similar to stock prices, bond values are derived as the discounted value of all cash flows received from bond ownership in exchange for the bond's price. The two main cash flows an investor receives in exchange for purchasing a bond are:
Answer: b. Interest or Coupon Payments (PMT) throughout the bond's life expand and the repayment of the principal or Face Value at the bond's maturity (FV).
Explanation:
For most bonds, a bond holder receives interest payments from the bond issuer in terms of coupon payments for the duration of the life of the bond. The coupon payment is a steady payment based on the par value of the bond.
When the bond matures, the bond holder receives the Principal/Face Value of the bond back. This value of usually the Par value of the bond regardless of how much the bond holder bought the bond for.
The company has 15 employees, who earn a total of $1,960 in salaries each working day. They are paid each Monday for their work in the five-day workweek ending on the previous Friday. Assume that December 31, 2015, is a Tuesday, and all 15 employees worked the first two days of that week. Because New Year's Day is a paid holiday, they will be paid salaries for five full days on Monday, January 6, 2016. Use the information to prepare adjusting entries as of December 31, 2015.
Answer:
Preparation of the adjusting entries as of December 31, 2015.
Dr Salaries Expense 3,920
Cr Salaries Payable 3,920
Explanation:
Since we were been told in the question that all the 15 employees worked the first 2 days of that week, the Adjustment we therefore be $3,920( 1,960×2) . And the transaction will be recorded as:
Dr Salaries Expense 3,920
Cr Salaries Payable 3,920
The Adjustment will be :
1,960 x 2 = 3,920
Therefore the pay that occured in New Year's Day will not be used because it falls in the next year.

Stilley Corporation had earnings after taxes of $438,000 in 20X2 with 200,000 shares outstanding. The stock price was $42.10. In 20X3, earnings after taxes declined to $208,000 with the same 200,000 shares outstanding. The stock price declined to $28.30. a. Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X2. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.) b. Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X3. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)\
Answer:
a) Earnings Per Share for 20X2 = 2.19
P/E ratio for 20X2 = 19.22
b) Earnings Per Share for 20X3 = 1.04
P/E ratio for 20X3 = 27.21
Explanation:
a) Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X2.
The compute the earnings per share use the following:
Earnings Per Share for 20X2 = (Earnings after tax-Preference Dividend) / shares outstanding
[tex] = \frac{438,000 - 0}{200,000} = 2.19 [/tex]
Earnings Per Share for 20X2 = 2.19
Then find P/E ratio:
P/E ratio for 20X2 = Market Price per share / Earnings Per Share
[tex] \frac{42.10}{2.19} = 19.224 [/tex]
P/E ratio for 20X2 = 19.22
b) Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X3.
The compute the earnings per share use the following:
Earnings Per Share for 20X3 =(Earnings after tax-Preference Dividend) / shares outstanding
[tex] = \frac{208,000 - 0}{200,000} = 1.04 [/tex]
Earnings Per Share for 20X3 = 1.04
Then find P/E ratio:
P/E ratio for 20X3 = Market Price per share / Earnings Per Share
[tex] \frac{28.30}{1.04} = 27.21 [/tex]
P/E ratio for 20X3 = 27.21
Jane, Joseph and John are supporting their father who lives in a separate apartment. Their contribution towards his support is 10%, 35% and 55%, respectively. In a multiple support agreement, who would be entitled to claim the father as a dependent?

Ms. Parker would like to have $99.000 buy a new car in 8 yearsTo accumulate $99,000 in years, how much should she invest monthly in a sinking tund with 3% Interest compounded monthly?
Answer:
$1,161.23
Explanation:
For computing the monthly payment we need to apply the PMT formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $99,000
Future value or Face value = $0
RATE = 3% ÷ 12 months = 0.25
NPER = 8 years × 12 months = 96 months
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the monthly payment is $1,161.23

The following refers to units processed by a breakfast cereal maker in August. Compute the total equivalent units of production with respect to conversion for August using the weighted-average inventory method. Units of Product Percent of Conversion Added Beginning Work in Process 230,000 60 % Units started 570,000 100 % Units completed 620,000 100 % Ending Work in Process 180,000 70 %
Answer:
Total Equivalent Units Conversion 746,000
Explanation:
Breakfast Cereal Maker
Weighted-Average Inventory Method
Total Equivalent Units
Units Conversion Equivalent Units
Particulars %
Units completed 620,000 100 % 620,000
Add Ending WIP 180,000 70 % 126,000
Total Equivalent Units 746,000
The total Equivalent units are obtained by adding the percent of the units in the ending work in process inventory to the units completed and transferred out. This is the average weighted method of finding the equivalent units.
As only conversion is required we found out the conversion units only.
Change all of the numbers in the data area of your worksheet so that it looks like this:
Data
4 Unit sales 10,000 units
5 Selling price per unit $20 per unit
6 Variable expenses per unit $8 per unit
7 Fixed expenses $90,000
A) What is the break-even in dollar sales?
B) What is the margin of safety percentage?
C) What is the degree of operating leverage?
1. Using the degree of operating leverage and without changing anything in your worksheet, calculate the percentage change in net operating income if unit sales increase by 20%.
2. Confirm your calculations in Requirement 3 above by increasing the unit sales in your worksheet by 20% so that the Data area looks like this:
Data
4 Unit sales 12,000 units
5 Selling price per unit $20 per unit
6 Variable expenses per unit $8 per unit
7 Fixed expenses $90,000
1. Using the degree of operating leverage and without changing anything in your worksheet, calculate the percentage change in net operating income if unit sales increase by 20%.
2. Confirm your calculations in Requirement 3 above by increasing the unit sales in your worksheet by 20% so that the Data area looks like this:
A. What is net operating income?
B. By what percentage did the net operating income increase?
Answer:
A) What is the break-even in dollar sales?
$150,000B) What is the margin of safety percentage?
25%C) What is the degree of operating leverage?
41. Using the degree of operating leverage and without changing anything in your worksheet, calculate the percentage change in net operating income if unit sales increase by 20%.
if unit sales increase by 20%, then profits should increase by 80%2. Confirm your calculations in Requirement 3 above by increasing the unit sales in your worksheet by 20%
A. What is net operating income?
(10,000 x 1.2 x $20) - (10,000 x 1.2 x $8) - $90,000 = $240,000 - $96,000 - $90,000 = $54,000B. By what percentage did the net operating income increase?
net operating income increased from $30,000 to $54,000 (an 80% increase)Explanation:
selling price $20
variable costs $8
contribution margin $12
break even point = $90,000 / $12 = 7,500 x $20 = $150,000
margin of safety = (current sales - break even) / current sales = $50,000 / $200,000 = 25%
degree of operating leverage = (quantity x contribution margin) / [(quantity x contribution margin) - fixed costs] = (10,000 x $12) / ($120,000 - $90,000) = $120,000 / $30,000 = 4
or contribution margin / net profits = $120,000 / $30,00 = 4

(Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Budgeted Income Statement For Quarter Ended March 31
Sales $3,675,000
Cost of goods sold $1,764,000
Gross profit $1,911,000
Operating expenses
Commissions expense $404,250
Rent expense $60,000
Advertising expense $441,000
Office salaries expense $222,000
Depreciation expense $147,000
Interest expense $ 7,425
Total operating expenses $1,281,675
Income before taxes $629,325
Income tax expense $251,730
Net income $ 377,595
Explanation:
Commissions 11 % of sales dollars
Rent $ 20,000 per month
Advertising 12 % of sales dollars
Office salaries $ 74,000 per month
Depreciation $ 49,000 per month
Interest 11 % annually on a $270,000 note payable
Tax rate 40%
Sales = Number of units for first quarter × price per unit
= (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $25
= $3,675,000
Cost of goods = (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $12
= $1,764,000
Commissions expense = 11 % of sales = 11% × $3,675,000 = $404,250
Advertising expense = 12 % of sales = 12% × $3,675,000 = $441,000
Interest expense = 11 % annually on a $270,000
= 11% × 270,000 × 3/12
= $ 7,425
Income = Gross profit - total operating expenses
= $1,911,000 - $1,281,675
= $629,325
Income tax expenses = 40% × $629,325 = $251,730
