Answer:
$234,690,475.84
Explanation:
Dividend yiedl = Annual dividend / Stock price
1.6% = $0.89 / Stock price
Stock price = $0.89/0.016
Stock price = $55.625
P/E Ratio = Stock price / EPS
21 = $55.625 / EPS
EPS = $55.625 /21
EPS = $2.6488
Net income = EPS * No of shares outstanding
Net income = $2.6488 * 92,000,000
Net income = $234,690,475.84
Therefore, the net income for the most recent four quarters is $234,690,475.84

Required:
a. Calculate the direct labor cost for Wonderway.
b. Calculate the manufacturing overhead cost for Wonderway.
c. Calculate the prime cost for Wonderway.
d. Calculate the conversion cost for Wonderway.
e. Calculate the total manufacturing cost for Wonderway.
f. Calculate the period expenses for Wonderway.
Answer:
a. $81,610
b. $135,290
c. $117,200
d. $216,900
e. $252,490
f. $96,890
Explanation:
direct labor cost = $83,600 - $1,990 = $81,610
manufacturing overhead cost = $28,700 + $1,990 + 31,400 + $31,600 + $13,600 + 28,000 = $135,290
prime cost = $35,600 + $81,610 = $117,200
conversion cost = $81,610 + $135,290 = $216,900
total manufacturing cost = $135,290 + $117,200 = $252,490
period expenses = $19,900 + $8,050 + $61,300 + $7,640 = $96,890
A company is currently selling 10,000 units of product monthly for $40 per unit. The unit contribution margin is $27. The company believes that spending $50,000 per month on advertising will allow them to increase the selling price to $45 and that sales will increase by 750 units per month. The company should ______.
Answer:
The company should accept the idea reason been that the profit will increase by $24,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What should the company do
First step
Increased CM = [10,750 x (27+(40-45))]- (10,000 x 27)
Increased CM = [10,750 x(27+5)]- (10,000 x 27)
Increased CM = (10,750 x 32) - (10,000 x 27)
Increased CM = $344,000-$270,000
Increased CM = $74,000
Now let calculate the profit
Profit =$74,000-$50,000
Profit=$24,000 Increase
Therefore based on the above calculation The company should accept the idea reason been that the profit will increase by the amount of $24,000

Barbara's Bakery purchased three new 7-year assets last year. She chose NOT to use Section 179 immediate expensing or take bonus depreciation. The furnishings were purchased for $15,000 in April, the equipment for $6,000 in July, and the appliances for $40,000 in November. Using the appropriate MACRS depreciation tables in the Appendix, what amount of depreciation expense is allowable in the current (second) year of ownership?
a) $16,806
b) $14,939
c) $16,163
d) $16,072
Answer:
$ 4,748
Explanation:
The depreciation expenses = [tex]$(\$ 15000 \times 17.85 \%) + (\$ 6000 \times 10.71 \%)+(\$ 40000 \times 3.57 \%)$[/tex]
[tex]$= \$ 2677.50 + \$ 642.6 + \$ 1428$[/tex]
= $ 4748
Generally we have use half year convention for assets that are purchased during the year but here we used the mid quarter as of more than the 40% of the assets are being purchased in last quarter of the year
[tex]$=\frac{\text{assets purchased in last quarter}}{\text{total assets purchased in the year}} \times 100$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{40000}{61000} \times 100$[/tex]
[tex]$=65.57 \%$[/tex] (it is more than 40%)
Thus we can use the mid quarter mars depreciation rates for the 7 years assets that are purchased this year.
Lauren Fine Clothing manufactures clothes for professional women. Lauren applies overhead at the rate of $15 per direct labor hour. During April, the company has budgeted 9,420 direct labor hours. At the end of April, 9,200 direct labor hours and $132,670 in manufacturing overhead had been incurred. To adjust for the difference between applied and incurred overhead, which journal entry would the firm record (using the pro-rated approach) given the following ending balances:
Answer: Debit MOH and credit cost if goods sold by 5330.
Explanation:
From the question, we are given the following information:
Overhead rate = $15 per direct labor hour
Direct labor hour incurred = 9,200
Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $132,670
We will then calculate the value for the applied manufacturing overhead which will be the direct labor hour incurred multiplied by the predetermined overhead rate. This will be:
= 9,200 x 15
= $138,000
Then, we have to calculate the overapplied manufacturing overhead which will be:
= $138,000 - $132,670
= $5,330
The journal entry will then be:
Debit: Manufacturing overhead (MOH) $5330
Credit: Cost of goods sold $5330

Riverboat Adventures pays $500,000 plus $13,000 in closing costs to buy out a competitor. The real estate consists of land appraised at $78,000, a building appraised at $218,400, and paddleboats appraised at $223,600. Compute the cost that should be allocated to the building.
Answer:
$215,460
Explanation:
Apportion the total cost using the appraised values to determine the cost to be allocated to buildings.
Total cost include Purchase price plus closing costs. That is $513,000 ($500,000 + $13,000)
Cost allocated to building is $218,400 / $520,000 x $513,000 = $215,460

Debt and equity are not. The company maintains a constant 30 percent dividend payout ratio. What is the internal growth rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
9.69%
Explanation:
Calculate for the internal growth rate
First step is to calculate the ROA
ROA = $4,819/$38,200
ROA=.1262*100
ROA= 12.62%
Second step is to calculate the plowback ratio b
The plowback ratio, b= 1 – .30
b= .70
Now let calculate the Internal growth rate using this formula
Internal growth rate=(ROA × b)/[1 – (ROA × b)]
Let plug in the formula
Internal growth rate=[.1262(.70)]/[1 – .1262(.70)]
Internal growth rate=.0969*100
Internal growth rate= 9.69%
Therefore the internal growth rate will be 9.69%

Gain on the sale of unimproved land is a long-term capital gain (6,000)
Gain on the sale of ADM stock is short term capital gain (2,450)
Gain on the sale of a fishing boat and trailer is a long-term capital gain (1,000)
So, the long-term capital gain = $6000 + $1000 = $7000. Short-term capital gain = $2,450
a. Here, Inez is in the 32% tax bracket, so her regular tax rate of 32% exceeds the alternative tax rate of 15%.
Hence, $7,000 long-term capital gain is taxed at 15%, and her short-term capital gain is taxed at 32%.
($7,000 x 15%) + ($2,450 x 32%)
= 1050 + 784
= $1,834
So, the tax is $1,834
b. Here, Inez is in the 12% tax bracket, her regular tax rate of 12% exceeds the alternative tax rate of 0%.
So, her $7000 long-term capital gain is taxed at 0%,
Her 2450 short-term capital gain is taxed at 12%.
= [(7000 x 0%) + ($2450 x 12%)]
= 0 + 294
= $294
So, the tax is $294.

WeeBee Company has three assembly labor dassifications: 5-1, S-2, and S-3. The three dassifications are paid $16, $19, and $22 per hour, respectively. The assembly activity for a product uses an S-2 employee who performs that task in 24 minutes. To reduce the activity cost per unit, a product engineer proposes using a low rated employee who can perform the assembly in 21 minutes. A manager proposes using a lower-rated employee who can perform the assembly in 30 minutes Which of the following provides the most cost-effective solution?
a. use the S-2 employee
b. use either the 5-1 or 5-3 employee
c. use the S-3 employee
d. use the S-1 employee
Answer:
b.use the S-2 employee
Explanation:
Calculation for the the most cost-effective solution
S-1 S-2 S-3
Time for 1 unit (in minutes) 30 24 21
Units in 1 hour 2 2.5 2.857142857
(60/30= 2)
(60/24=2.5)
(60/21=2.857142857)
Wages per hour $ 16.00 $ 19.00 $ 22.00
Wages per/ unit $ 8.00 $7.60 7.70
($ 16.00/2=$8)
($ 19.00/2.5=$ 7.60)
($ 22.00/2.857142857=$ 7.70)
Ranking
S-1 $ 8.00 III
S-2. $7.60 I
S-3 7.70 II
Therefore based on the above Calculation the most cost-effective solution will be to use the S-2 employee
Two metrics that are used to measure a company's financial performance are net income and cash flow. Accountants emphasize net income as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Finance people generally put at least as much weight on cash flows as they do on net income. Question 9 options: True False
Answer:
true
Explanation:
Finance people place greater weight on cash flows that net income.
Net income = total revenue - total cost
Cash flow is the movement of cash and cash equivalents in and out of an organisation.
Even though a company may be generating a positive net income, the positive net income may not be from sustainable sources, so it is for this reason that cash flows are examined.
also, cash flows are less subject to manipulation when compared with net income.
It is for these reasons that finance people place more importance on cash flows

A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an above ground electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $18,000 to install and will have a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, and other maintenance issues are expected to be $2,400. A new power line will cost $27,500 to install, with power costs expected to be $1,000 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 5 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. At an interest rate of 10% per year,
a. Which alternative should be selected on the basis of an annual worth analysis
b. What must be the first cost of the above ground line to make the two alternatives equally attractive economically?
Answer:
a) should install the solar cells
alternative 1, solar cells
initial investment $18,000
annual expenses $2,400 (5 years)
NPV = $27,097.89
AW = (10% x $27,097.89) / [1 - (1 + 10%)⁻⁵] = $7,148.36
alternative 2, power line
initial investment $27,500
annual expenses $1,000 (5 years)
NPV = $31,290.79
AW = (10% x $31,290.79) / [1 - (1 + 10%)⁻⁵] = $8,254.43
b) $23,307.10
