Answer:
Common Stockholders = $5.30 per share
Preferred Stockholders Payable = $20.25 per share
Explanation:
Previous Years Dividends distribution - Year 1
Common Stockholders = $0
Preferred Stockholders Payable = 18,500 x $100 x 6.75% = $124,875.00
Previous Years Dividends distribution - Year 2
Common Stockholders = $0
Preferred Stockholders Payable = 18,500 x $100 x 6.75% = $124,875.00 ($249,750 -cumulative)
Previous Years Dividends distribution - Current Year
Common Stockholders = $95,375
Preferred Stockholders Payable = 18,500 x $100 x 6.75% = $124,875.00 ($374,625 -cumulative)
dividends per share payable calculation
Common Stockholders = $95,375 / 18,000 shares = $5.30 per share
Preferred Stockholders Payable = $374,625 / 18,500 shares = $20.25 per share

A factory machine was purchased for $385000 on January 1, 2021. It was estimated that it would have a $78000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. It was also estimated that the machine would be run 38000 hours in the 5 years. The company ran the machine for 3800 actual hours in 2021. If the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for 2021 would be
Answer:
$30,700
Explanation:
Calculation for what the amount of depreciation expense for 2021 would be
Depreciation expense for 2021 =[($385,000 - $78,000) ÷ 38,000] × 3,800
Depreciation expense for 2021 =($307,000÷38,000)×3,800
Depreciation expense for 2021 =8.078947369×3,800
Depreciation expense for 2021 =$30,700
Therefore the amount of depreciation expense for 2021 would be $30,700

A company has fixed costs of $96,800. Its contribution margin ratio is 44% and the product sells for $61 per unit.
What is the company's break-even point in dollar sales?
$220,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the company's break-even point in dollar sales
Using this formula
Break-Even point in dollars sales= Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin
Let plug in the formula
Break-Even point in dollars sales=$96,800/44%
Break-Even point in dollars sales=$220,000
Therefore the company's break-even point in dollar sales will be $220,000.
Waterway Industries started the year with $66000 in its Common Stock account and a credit balance in Retained Earnings of $48400. During the year, the company earned net income of $52800, and declared and paid $22000 of dividends. In addition, the company sold additional common stock amounting to $30800. As a result, the balance in retained earnings at the end of the year would be
Answer:
$79,200
Explanation:
The computation of retained earning at year end is seen below;
= Opening retained earning balance + Net income - dividend paid
= $48,400 + $52,800 - $22,000
= $79,200
Therefore, the retained earnings balance is $79,200
A large technology Company decides to create an entrepreneurship friendly space, where small enterprises can operate in close proximity to one another. To create this space, which will be called Zone Forty-Two, the Company will construct office space, which will be rented to tenants for free. The Company is considering two start-up firms, B Enterprises (a business software producer) and M Enterprises (a medical software producer). Both firms are currently located in different small towns of California, where they work out of their homes hence pay no rent. The sales volume for a firm if it locates at Zone Forty-Two depends on whether the other firm is also present. These sales volumes, along with the firms’ sales at their current home locations, are presented in Table 1.
table 1 home- town locations zone forty-two(alone) zone forty-two(with other firm)
b enterprises 600 600 670
m enterprises 700 700 950
Give an intuitive explanation why the sales figures are in the last column of Table 1 differ from the first two columns of the table. Hint: Elaborate on different types of economies that are likely to benefit firms locating next to each other in Zone Forty-Two.
Answer:
Zone-Forty-Two
Types of Economies Benefiting Firms Locating Next to Each Other:
Basically, internal and external economies of scale result from firms locating next to one another. While internal economies of scale are specific to a firm because they are internally generated savings, external economies of scale bring about larger changes outside the firm so that all the firms that are located next to one another benefit.
For example, when firms locate next to each other, there is increased procurement management, availability of specialized managers, availability of financial sources, and market improvement. These are internally-focused economies.
On the other hand, the external benefits that come from agglomeration of firms include the availability of common infrastructure, supply chain, innovation and ideas, and ability to lobby the authorities.
As a result of these economies or benefits, firms b and m enterprises are able to generate more increased sales as they locate close to each other at Zone Forty-Two than they could generate while they were located at their home-towns or alone at Zone Forty-Two.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Firms' Sales
Firms Hometown Zone forty-two Zone forty-two
locations (alone) (with other firm)
b enterprises 600 600 670
m enterprises 700 700 950
These economies resulting from proximate locations of firms include the growth of technical, marketing, commercial, financial benefits, and some network effects. Therefore, it is always interesting to study how firms grow more as they compete and learn from one another than they do when they dominate their individual hometown markets.
A firm that has recently experienced an enormous growth rate is seeking to lease a small plant in Memphis, TN; Biloxi, MS; or Birmingham, AL. Prepare an economic analysis of the three locations given the following information: Annual costs for building, equipment, and administration would be $59,000 for Memphis, $69,000 for Biloxi, and $104,000 for Birmingham. Labor and materials are expected to be $7 per unit in Memphis, $5 per unit in Biloxi, and $5 per unit in Birmingham. The Memphis location would increase system transportation costs by $58,000 per year, the Biloxi location by $68,500 per year, and the Birmingham location by $25,400 per year. Expected annual volume is 14,400 units.
Answer:
Total cost for a location = Annual costs for building, equipment, and administration + Labor and materials cost per unit*expected annual volume + Increase in transportation costs
Total cost for Memphis location = $59000 + $7*14400 + $58000
Total cost for Memphis location = $217,800
Total cost for Biloxi location = $69000 + $5*14400 + $68500
Total cost for Biloxi location = $209,500
Total cost for Birmingham location = $104000 + 5*14400 + $25400
Total cost for Birmingham location = $201,400
So, Birmingham location gives the lowest Annual Total Cost.
Roquan, a single taxpayer, is an attorney and practices as a sole proprietor. This year, Roquan had net business income of $90,000 from his law practice (net of the associated for AGI self-employment tax deduction). Assume that Roquan pays $40,000 in wages to his employees, has $10,000 of property (unadjusted basis of equipment he purchased last year), and has no capital gains or qualified dividends. His taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $100,000.
1. Calculate Roquan's deduction for qualified business income.
2. Assume the same facts as earlier, except Roquan's taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $300,000.
Answer:
A. $18,000
B. No QBI deduction
Explanation:
a) Calculation for Roquan’s deduction for qualified business income.
Using this formula
Roquan's qualified business income.
= 20% x QBI
Let plug in the formula
Roquan's qualified business income
= 20% x $90,000
Roquan's qualified business income= $18,000
Therefore Roquan’s deduction for qualified business income will be $18,000
b) Based on the information given if we assumed that Roquan's taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is the amount of $300,000 which means that Roquan's income is higher than the amount of $213,300 hence, NO qualified business income deduction (QBI) will be allowed.

Owens Corning has total assets of $800,000, long-term debt of $240,000, stockholders' equity of $350,000, and current liabilities of $210,000. The dividend payout ratio is 30 percent and the profit margin is 8 percent. Assume all assets and current liabilities change spontaneously with sales and the firm is currently operating at full capacity. What is the external financing need (EFN) if the current sales of $1,000,000 are projected to increase by 20 percent
Answer:
$50,800
Explanation:
Increase in assets = Current Assets * Percentage change in sales = $800,000 * 20% = $160,000
Increase in current liabilities = Current liabilities * Percentage change in sales = $210,000 * 20% = $42,000
Increase in retaned earning = Increased sales*Profit Margin*Retention ratio = $1,000,000*120%*8%*(1-0.30) = $67,200
External financing need = Increase in Assets - Increase in liabilities - Increase in retained earning
External financing need = $160,000 - $42,000 - $67,200
External financing need = $50,800
assume the cost of a college education would be to 325,000 when your child enters college 17 years. You presently have $51,000 to
Answer:
11.51 %
Explanation:
The computation of the interest rate is shown below:
As we know that
Amount = P (1 + rate)^number of years
$325,000 = $51,000 (1+r)^17
(1+r)^17 = $325,000 ÷ $51,000
(1+r)^17 = 6.372549
(1+r) = (6.372549)^1 ÷ 17
1 + r = 1.115097
r = 1.115097 - 1
r = 0.115097
= 11.51 %
Sawyer Manufacturing Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Last year, the Corporation worked 57,000 actual direct labor-hours and incurred $345,000 of actual manufacturing overhead cost. The Corporation had estimated that it would work 55,000 direct labor-hours during the year and incur $330,000 of manufacturing overhead cost. The Corporation's manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:
Answer:
Underapplied by $3,000
Explanation:
Calculation for what The Corporation's manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:
First step is to calculate the Predetermined Overhead rate
Predetermined Overhead rate=( $ 330,000/ 55,000)
Predetermined Overhead rate= $ 6 per labor hour
Now let calculate the Manufacturing overhead cost
Manufacturing overhead cost= (6 x 57 000)-$345,000
Manufacturing overhead cost=$342,000-$345,000
Manufacturing overhead cost=Underapplied by $3,000
Therefore The Corporation's manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:underapplied by $3,000

A company expects to sell 500 units during the second quarter and 550 units in the third quarter. Currently, during the second quarter, they have 46 units on hand. If they desire safety stock of 10% of the next quarter's sales, __________units will need to be produced in the second quarter.
Answer:
509 Units
Explanation:
At second quarter,
safety stock = 10%
With 550 units, for target of the next quarter
Then, safety stock = [(550 ×( 10/100) ]
= 55 units.
Buy the remaining unit is 46, and the expected unit to be sold is 500
Then, units that will be neededto be produced in the second quarter. Is
= (55 + 500) -46
=509 units
You bought two acres of land for $200,000 ten years ago. Although it is zoned for commercial use, it currently holds eight small, singlefamily houses. A property management firm that wants to continue leasing the eight houses has offered you $400,000 for the property. A developer wants to build a 12-story apartment building on the site and has offered $600,000. What value should you assign to the property
Answer:
$500,000
Explanation:
in order to calculate the value you should determine the expected return or sales price of the land = price of land x probability of sale
In this case, you have two offers and apparently you haven't decided which to choose, so the expected return = ($400,000 x 50%) + ($600,000 x 50%) = $200,000 + $300,000 = $500,000

Compute the plantwide overhead rate using direct labor hours as the base. 2. Determine the overhead cost assigned to each product line using the plantwide rate computed in requirement 1.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined plantwide overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
total estimated overhead costs for the period= $1,320,000
total amount of allocation base= 100,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,320,000 / 100,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $13.2 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Part A27C:
Allocated MOH= 13.2*(5,500 + 700)
Allocated MOH= $81,840
Part X82B:
Allocated MOH= 13.2*(2,150 + 3,500)
Allocated MOH= $74,580

Answer:
For making 10,000 units
Type A cost = 40,000
Type B Cost = 90,000
Type C Cost = 25,000
Explanation:
Given - Shum Manufacturing, which uses the high-low method, makes a
product called Kwan. The company incurs three different cost
types (A, B, and C) and has a relevant range of operation between
2,500 units and 10,000 units per month. Per-unit costs at two
different activity levels for each cost type are presented below.
Type A Type B Type C Total
5,000 units $4 $9 $4 $17
7,500 units $4 $6 $3 $13
To find - If Shum produces 10,000 units, the total cost would be ?
Proof -
As we know that
Total cost = Variable cost per unit × Units + Fixed Cost
Now,
As per the question ,
Highest Activity unit = 7,500 units
Lowest Activity unit = 5,000 units
Now,
Variable cost per unit = Change in cost / Change in activity unit
= ( Highest Activity cost - Lowest Activity cost ) / ( Highest Activity unit - Lowest Activity unit )
Type A Type B Type C
Highest Activity Cost 30,000 45,000 22,500
Lowest Activity Cost 20,000 45,000 20,000
Variable Cost Per unit 4 0 1
Fixed Cost 0 90,000 15,000
Now,
Statement Showing Total Cost for 10,000 units
Particulars Type A Type B Type C
Variable Cost 40,000 0 10,000
Fixed Cost 0 90,000 15,000
Total 40,000 90,000 25,000
∴ we get
For making 10,000 units
Type A cost = 40,000
Type B Cost = 90,000
Type C Cost = 25,000
