Answer:
a) compute the price-earnings ratio for each of these four separate companies.
To find the price-earnings ratio fir each company, use the formula:
P.E ratio = Market value per share/ Earnings per share
Company 1:
Price-earnings ratio = [tex] \frac{176.40} {12.00} = 14.70 [/tex]
Company 2:
Price-earnings ratio = [tex] \frac{96.00}{10.00} = 9.6 [/tex]
Company 3:
Price-earnings ratio = [tex] \frac{93.75}{7.50} = 12.50[/tex]
Company 4:
Price-earnings ratio = [tex] \frac{250.00}{50.00} = 5.0 [/tex]
b) The market will have the lowest expectation of future performance from company 4 because
the price-earnings ratio of company 4 is the lowest.

Exercise 7-3A Allocate costs in a basket purchase (LO7-1) Red Rock Bakery purchases land, building, and equipment for a single purchase price of $360,000. However, the estimated fair values of the land, building, and equipment are $115,000, $253,000, and $92,000, respectively, for a total estimated fair value of $460,000. Required: Determine the amounts Red Rock should record in the separate accounts for the land, the building, and the equipment
Answer:
Land = $90,000
Building = $198,000
Land = $72,000
Explanation:
The Fair Values of Land, Building and Equipment are used to apportion the single purchase price to the respective asset accounts as follows :
Land = $115,000/ $460,000 × $360,000
= $90,000
Building = $253,000/ $460,000 × $360,000
= $198,000
Land = $92,000/ $460,000 × $360,000
= $72,000
A customer buys 100 shares of ABC stock at $44 and sells 1 ABC Jan 45 Call at $5. Subsequently, the market price of ABC goes to $59 and the call contract is exercised. The customer has a:
Answer:
loss = $1,000
Explanation:
the customer will receive $5 (call price) + $44 (call price) = $49 for every share that he/she owns.
since the market price was $59, then the customer lost $59 - $49 = $10 for every share that he/she owned, resulting in a total loss = $10 per share x 100 shares = $1,000
A call option gives the buyer the option to purchase a stock at a set price during a specific time frame.
In _____, organizations receive feedback from the external environment regarding the value of their outputs, the availability of future inputs, and the appropriateness of the transformation process.

Cindy's current year adjusted gross income (AGI) is $300,000 and her current year total tax liability is $60,000. Her immediate prior year AGI is $200,000 with a total tax liability of $40,000. To avoid an underpayment interest penalty, what is Cindy's minimum required total tax payment amount for the current year
Answer:
The answer is $44,000
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
Now
Present/current year AGI = $300000
Present /current year tax liability = $60000
Prior year AGI = $200000
Prior year tax liability = $40000
Thus
As per Tax rule or applying the Tax rule
If Adjusted gross income(AGI) of prior year is below $250000 then the minimum required tax payment in the current year in order to avoid interest penalty is lower of
(1) 90% of present /current year tax (liability) or
(2) 110% of prior year tax liability
So
Because the prior year AGI is $200000 which is lower than $250000, in order to avoid interest penalty, the minimum required payment amount of tax liability in current/present year is lower of
(1) 90% of current year tax liability of $60000
Then
$60000 *90% = $54000
Or
(2)110% of prior year tax liability of $40000
$40000 ×110% = $44000
Hence, minimum required total tax payment amount for the current year is $44,000
Fremont Enterprises has an expected return of 18 % and Laurelhurst News has an expected return of 21 %. If you put 43 % of your portfolio in Laurelhurst and 57 % in Fremont, what is the expected return of your portfolio? g
Answer: 19.29%
Explanation:
From the question, Fremont Enterprises has an expected return of 18% and 57% of the portfolio is put in Fremont. The portfolio return of Fremont will be the expected return multiplied by the weight. This will be:
= 18% × 57%
= 18 × 0.57
= 10.26%
We are also told that Laurelhurst News has an expected return of 21% and that 43% of the portfolio is put in Laurelhurst News. The portfolio return here will be the expected return multiplied by the weight. This will be:
= 21% × 43%
= 21% × 0.43
= 9.03%
The the expected return of the portfolio will now be:
= 10.26% + 9.03%
= 19.29%
In the MBTI personality model, Disney "imagineers" are more likely to have high _____ scores, while Disney accountants who determine currency transfer equivalencies are more likely to have high _____ scores.
Answer:
In the MBTI personality model, Disney "imagineers" are more likely to have high __INTJ___ scores, while Disney accountants who determine currency transfer equivalencies are more likely to have high __ISTJ___ scores.
Explanation:
1. MBTI personality model is the Myers-Briggs Theory. It was developed by the mother-daughter partnership of Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. At the heart of Myers Briggs theory are four preferences, depicting personality preferences as follows:
1. People and things (Extraversion or "E"), or ideas and information (Introversion or "I").
2. Facts and reality (Sensing or "S"), or possibilities and potential (Intuition or "N").
3. Logic and truth (Thinking or "T"), or values and relationships (Feeling or "F").
4. A lifestyle that is well-structured (Judgment or "J"), or one that goes with the flow (Perception or "P").
These four major classifications mean that one tends to have more of each than the other. This means that there are 16 traits or combinations of traits for a given personality.
2. INTJ personality type: Disney "imagineers" are likely to direct their energies to deal with (Introversion) ideas, information, explanations, and beliefs, as people in research and development at Disney. The information they deal with will be based on ideas, new possibilities, and not obvious things (Intuition) instead of facts and what they know and see. Their decision making will be based on objective logic, using analytic and detailed approaches. Their work will be planned and well-structured to reflect their lifestyle as opposed to flowing with the trend and maintaining flexibility.
3. ISTJ personality class: Disney accountants will bear similar traits like the "imagineers" except that instead of dealing with unknown and not obvious ideas and possibilities like the imagineers, they would prefer their information for processing to be based on clear facts and what they see and know.
Answer:
In the MBTI personality model, Disney "imagineers" are more likely to have high __INTJ___ scores, while Disney accountants who determine currency transfer equivalencies are more likely to have high __ISTJ___ scores.
Explanation:
The beta of an all-equity firm is 1.4. Suppose the firm changes its capital structure to 40 percent debt and 60 percent equity. What is the equity beta of the levered firm
Answer:
1.59
Explanation:
The formula required to calculate the equity beta of the levered beta is given below:
Levered Beta=Unlevered Beta*((1+(1-tax rate)*(debt/equity))
unlevered bera=1.4
tax rate (assume it is 30%) is 0.30
debt is 40% or 0.40
equity is 60% or 0.60
Levered Beta=1.4((1+(1-0.30)*(0.40/0.60))
levered Beta=1.4*(1+0.7)*0.666666667
levered beta=1.4*1.133333334
levered beta= 1.59
You can recompute using the missing actual tax rate
Sigmund Jewelers creates inexpensive costume necklaces, bracelets, and rings. As a way to save costs on sending out these small items, the company combines 10 to 12 different orders into one. Which operational objective is the company applying here
Answer:
shipment consolidation
Explanation:
The primary aim of the consolidation of shipments is to evaluate cost control and cost control. The aggregation of shipments allows individuals or businesses to save costs thereby integrating several products from different shippers into one shipment.
Therefore in the given case, since the company wants to combine 10 to 12 different orders into one shipment so that the company could save the cost
Hence, the shipment consolidation is correct
On December 31, 2014, Flint Corporation sold for $100,000 an old machine having an original cost of $180,000 and a book value of $80,000. The terms of the sale were as follows:
$20,000 down payment
$40,000 payable on December 31 each of the next two years
The agreement of sale made no mention of interest; however, 9% would be a fair rate for this type of transaction. What should be the amount of the notes receivable net of the unamortized discount on December 31, 2012 rounded to the nearest dollar? (The present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 9% for 2 years is 1.75911.)
a. $70,364
b. $90,364.
c. $80,000.
d. $140,728.
Answer:
a. $70,364
Explanation:
We must determine the present value of the notes receivable using the 9% discount rate.
PV of accounts receivable = $40,000 / 1.09 + $40,000 / 1.09² = $36,697.25 + $33,667.20 = $70,364.45
When a notes receivable is issued and carries no interests, you have to record the present value of the notes receivable in order to determine the amount that should be recorded as interest income in the future. In this case, interest income = $80,000 - $70,364 = $9,636

Suppose we are looking at a cash flow statement constructed using the INDIRECT method. We see a positive adjustment in the operating section of $1000 for Depreciation. Which of the following are correct interpretations of this? A. Depreciation provided cash of $1000 B. The firm sold long-term assets for $1000 C. The firm invested $1000 of cash in long-term assets D. Income was lower by $1000 because of Depreciation expense
Answer: D. Income was lower by $1000 because of Depreciation expense
Explanation:
When preparing the Cashflow Statement using the Indirect method, Depreciation is added to the Net Income in the Operating Section.
This is because Depreciation is a non-cash expense that was removed from the revenue to calculate income. Now that the company wants to know how much actual cash it has, it will have to add back Depreciation because depreciation is not a cash expense so does not actually reduce the money the company has.
Alice is single and self-employed in 2019. Her net business profit on her Schedule C for the year is $100,000. What is her self-employment tax liability for 2019?
Answer:
$15,300
Explanation:
Remember, under the FICA Tax rate for 2019, the charge is 15.3% on first $132,900 of net income plus 2.9% on the net income in excess of $132,900. However, Alice net income is only about $100,000.
So, her Self employment tax liability =100,000 x 15.3% = $15,300 (since her net income doesn't exceed $132,900 we need not apply the 2.9% charge)
g For this question, ignore inflation. Suppose Jenny earns $60,000 per year working as a tax analyst. After ten years, she quits her job and pursues a PhD in Art History. For the 5 years she is in school, she gets a teaching stipend of $12,000 per year. For the next 35 years, she is an art director and earns $95,000. If she expects to live for 20 years in retirement. If Jenny doesn’t earn any interest on her savings and wants to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, how much will she consume every year? What might prevent her from perfectly smoothing consumption?
Answer:
If Jenny doesn’t earn any interest on her savings and wants to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, how much will she consume every year?
Jenny's total income during her life = income as tax analyst ($60,000 x 10) + income as PhD student ($12,000 x 5) + income as Art Director (35 x $95,000) = $3,985,000
she generated income during 50 years and expects to live 20 more, so in order to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, she must divide her total life income by 70 years = $3,985,000 / 70 years = $56,928.57 per year
What might prevent her from perfectly smoothing consumption?
First of all, besides inflation, you also earn interest on your savings. That is why 401k and other retirement accounts work so well (the magic of compound interest). Even if inflation and interests didn't exist, you cannot know exactly what you are going to earn in the future and for how many years. In this case, she earned $60,000 for 10 years, but then earned only $12,000 during 5 years. If she really wanted to smooth her consumption, she would have needed to get a loan because her savings during the first 10 years wouldn't be enough.
A portfolio manager generates a 20% rate of return on a "small cap" portfolio, compared to a 15% rate of return on the benchmark portfolio and a 10% rate of return on the Standard and Poor's 500 index over the same period. The passive rate of return on the portfolio is:
Answer:
15%
Explanation:
A passive portfolio management is an act of running a portfolio to meet the performance and requirements of a benchmark portfolio.
Given that:
A portfolio manager generates = 20% rate of return
Benchmark portfolio = 15% rate of return
Standard and Poor's 500 index = 10% rate of return.
The passive rate of return will be 15%. This is because a passive rate of return is attained by putting money into the right index fund, From the information given; the benchmark index has an 15% rate of return. As such, that is the return any passive investor could attain as a result of putting money in an index fund.
New lithographic equipment, acquired at a cost of $800,000 on March 1 at the beginning of a fiscal year, has an estimated useful life of five years and an estimated residual value of $90,000. The manager requested information regarding the effect of alternative methods on the amount of depreciation expense each year. In the first week of the fifth year, on March 4, the equipment was sold for $135,000.
Required:
a. Determine the annual depreciation expense for each of the estimated five years of use, the accumulated depreciation at the end of each year, and the book value of the equipment at the end of each year by (a) the straight-line method and (b) the double-declining-balance method.
b. Journalize the entry to record the sale assuming the manager chose the double-declining-balance method.
c. On January 1, journalize the entry to record the sale in (b), assuming that the equipment was sold for $88,750 instead of $135,000.
Answer:
a. Determine the annual depreciation expense for each of the estimated five years of use, the accumulated depreciation at the end of each year, and the book value of the equipment at the end of each year by:
(a) the straight-line method
depreciation expense per year = ($800,000 - $90,000) / 5 years = $142,000

Item 11Item 11 You are going to deposit $24,500 today. You will earn an annual rate of 5.5 percent for 8 years, and then earn an annual rate of 4.9 percent for 11 years. How much will you have in your account in 19 years
Answer:
$63,637.94
Explanation:
$24,500 is deposited in the bank
5.5% annual rate will be earned in 8 years
= 5.5/100
= 0.055
4.9% annual rate will be earned in 11 years
= 4.9/100
= 0.049
The first step is to calculate the future value of the amount after 8 years
= amount deposited×(1+r)^n
r is the annual rate, n is the number of years
= $24,500×(1+0.055)^8
= $24,500×1.055^8
= $24,500×1.534686515
= $37,599.8196
Therefore, the amount that would be present in the account in 19 years can be calculated as follows
= amount at the end of year 8×(1+r)^n
where r = 0.049, n= 11
= $37,599.8196×(1+0.049)^11
= $37,599.8196×1.049^11
= $37,599.8196×1.692506597
= $63,637.94
Hence the amount present in the account in 19 years is $63,637.94

The bid-ask spread exists because of _______________. A. market inefficiencies B. discontinuities in the markets C. the need for dealers to cover expenses and make a profit D. lack of trading in thin markets
Answer:
C. the need for dealers to cover expenses and make a profit
Explanation:
In the market for securities there are two pricing of securities.
The ask price is the price at which the buyer is willing to purchase a security.
The ask price or the offer price is price at which the seller of a security is willing to sell it. Ask price can be firm or negotiable.
Bid ask spread is the difference between the highest amount a buyer is willing to buy a security and the lowest price at which a seller is willing to sell it.
This spread exists because dealers need to cover expenses and make a profit
Workers at Majestic Manufacturing have won the right to unionize, but management is unwilling to participate in the collective bargaining process and bargain in "good faith." This is a direct violation of the _______Act.
Answer: National Labor Relations Act
Explanation:
Passed in 1935, this is a fundamental act in United States Labor law that grants private sector employees the right to join Unions and engage with employers in Collective Bargaining to better their employment conditions. This act even gave the employees the right to strike if their demands are not meant.
Most relevant is that in Section 8 of the Act, it is made clear that when an Employer refuses to engage in Collective Bargaining with the representative of their employees, that this is an unfair labor practice and under the Act, is considered to be illegal.
If James and Kamanda had reached a void agreement that included conditions, then Kamanda would have had to give James the toaster if the conditions were satisfied.
a. True
b. False
There is a problem with the question, the word void should not be there. A void agreement is simply not enforceable since it is not valid. So I will assume that they both reached a valid agreement and it was a typing mistake.
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
If two (or more) parties engage in a valid contract that includes certain specific conditions that are necessary in order to complete performance, and these conditions are met by one of the parties, then the other party must perform their part. In other words, if James performed all the conditions that were included in their contract, then Kamanda should hand over the toaster to James.

New Orleans Shipping. If the share price of Emaline, a New Orleans-based shipping firm, rises from $12 to $15 over a one-year period, what is the rate of return to the shareholder given each of the following: a. The company paid no dividends. b. The company paid a dividend of $1 per share. c. The company paid the dividend, and the total return to the shareholder is separated into the dividend yield and the capital gain.
Answer:
a. The company paid no dividends.
= ($15 / $12) - 1 = 0.25 = 25%b. The company paid a dividend of $1 per share.
= ($16 / $12) - 1 = 0.333 = 33.3%c. The company paid the dividend, and the total return to the shareholder is separated into the dividend yield and the capital gain.
dividend yield = $1 / $12 = 0.083 = 8.3%capital gain = $3 / $12 = 0.25 = 25%Explanation:
initial investment = $12
current market price = $15
gain = $3 if no dividend paid, and $4 if dividend paid
All of the following are economic resources, or factors of production EXCEPT Group of answer choices land. entrepreneurship. physical capital. money.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Money
Explanation:
Economic resources or factors of production are the inputs required for the creation of goods or services. They are divided into four categories:
Land: includes physical land and any other natural resources needed for production. Examples are water, natural gas, oil etc. Its reward is rent
Labour: This refers to human efforts contributed to the production of goods or services. Its reward is wages
Capital: this refers to machinery, tools and buildings that are used by humans for production. Its reward is interest
Entrepreneurship: refers to someone who combines the other three factors; land, labour and capital, to earn a profit. Its reward is profit
Money is not a factor of production because it is not directly involved in production of goods or services. However, it facilitates the processes of production like enabling purchase of machinery, payment of wages etc.
If the fixed costs are $450,000, the unit selling price is $75, and the unit variable costs are $50, what are the old and new break-even sales (units) if the unit selling price increases by $10
Answer:
Old break even points= 18,000 units
New break even points= 12,857 units
Explanation:
The fixed costs are $450,000
The unit selling price is $75
The unit variable costs are $50
The unit selling price have an increase of 10 units
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin per unit
Contribution margin per unit= Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit
= $75-$50
= $25 per unit
The old break even point can be calculated as follows
= Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit
= $450,000/$25
= 18,000 units
Since there is an increase in the unit selling price by $10 per unit then, the contribution matgin per unit can be calculated as follows

= $450,000/$35
= 12,857 units
Hence the old break even point and new break even point are 18,000 units and 12,857 units respectively
