Answer:
1. Compute Austin Airlines' first-year depreciation expense on the plane using the following methods:
a. Straight-line
depreciation expense for first year = ($33,500,000 - $5,500,000) / 5 = $5,600,000 per year
b. Units-of-production
depreciation per mile = ($33,500,000 - $5,500,000) / 4,000,000 = $7 per mile
depreciation expense for first year = $7 x 1,100,000 = $7,700,000
c. Double-declining-balance
depreciation expense for first year = 2 x 1/5 x $33,500,000 = $13,400,000
2. Show the airplane's book value at the end of the first year for all three methods.
a. Straight-line
book value at end of first year = $27,900,000
b. Units-of-production
book value at end of first year = $25,800,000
c. Double-declining-balance
book value at end of first year = $20,100,000
Explanation:
Purchase cost = $33,500,000
useful life of 5 years (or 4,000,000 miles) and residual value of $5,500,000
expected use during first year of 1,100,000 miles
You are given the following information for Ted’s Dread Co.: sales = $82,000; costs = $57,700; addition to retained earnings = $7,500; dividends paid = $3,320; interest expense = $3,030; tax rate = 25 percent. Calculate the depreciation expense for the company.
Answer:$6,843.33=Depreciation
Explanation:
To Calculate the depreciation expense for the company
Net income = Dividends + Addition to retained earnings
Net income = $3,320 + 7,500
Net income = $10,820
Also,
Net income = Taxable income - (Taxable income)(Tax rate)
Net income = Taxable income(1 - Tax rate)
Therefore,
Taxable income = Net income / (1 - Tax rate)
Taxable income = $10,820 / (1 - 0.25
Taxable income = $10,820/0.75 =14,426.67
But
EBIT -interest = taxable income,So
EBIT = Taxable income + Interest
EBIT = $14,426.67+3,030
EBIT = 17,456.67
EBIT = Sales - Costs - Depreciation
$17,456.67 = $82000 - 57,700 - Depreciation
$17,456.67= 24,300-Deprecistion
Depreciation =24,300-17456.67 =
$6,843.33
Western Electric has 31,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $77 and a rate of return of 13.10 percent. The firm has 7,200 shares of 7.60 percent preferred stock outstanding at a price of $94.00 per share. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. The outstanding debt has a total face value of $398,000 and currently sells for 110 percent of face. The yield to maturity on the debt is 8.02 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 39 percent
Answer:
Weighted average cost of capital = 11.10%
Explanation:
Market value of common stock = $31,000 * 77 = $2,387,000
Market value of preferred shares = $7,200 * 94 = 676,800
Market value of debt = $398,000 * 110% = 437,800
Total market value = Market value of common stock + Market value of preferred shares + Market value of debt
= 2,387,000 + 676,800 + 437,800
= 3,501,600
Weight of common stock = Market value of common stock / Total market value
= $2,387,000 / $3,501,600
= 0.6817
Weight of debt = Market value of preferred shares / Total market value
=437,800 / 3,501,600
= 0.1250
Weight of preferred stock = Market value of debt / Total market value
= 676,800 / 3,501,600
= 0.1933
Preferred dividend = 7.6% of 100 = 7.6
Cost of preferred stock = (Preferred dividend / price) * 100
Cost of preferred stock = (7.6 / 94) * 100
Cost of preferred stock = 8.0851%
Weighted average cost of capital = (Weight of equity *cost of equity) + (Weight of preferred stock * cost of preferred stock) + (Weight of debt * after tax cost of deb t)
Weighted average cost of capital = (0.6817 * 13.10%) + (0.1933 * 0.080851) + (0.1250 *0.0802*(1 - 0.39)
Weighted average cost of capital = 0.089303 + 0.015628 + 0.006115
Weighted average cost of capital = 0.1110
Weighted average cost of capital = 11.10%
In large organizations, the potential exists for different parts of an organization to pursue its own goals rather than the overall company goals. Proper _______ can help to resolve conflicts when they arise
Answer:
Objectives
Explanation:
Generally, organizations are required to set short or medium-term objectives to ensure there's an effective customer relationships management, improve worker's efficiency or productivity and more importantly to increase their revenues and profits. These objectives are usually drafted by the executive or top management of an organization and it's mandatory that all the employees are diligently working towards achieving this set goals.
In large organizations, the potential exists for different parts of an organization to pursue its own goals rather than the overall company goals. Proper objectives can help to resolve conflicts when they arise.
For instance, the sales department in a bid to meet daily or monthly targets may result to unauthorized marketing channels and procedures which may be in contrast to the objectives of the human resources department.
With proper objectives such as policies and guidelines, conflicts of goals would be mitigated as various departments would ensure their activities are in tandem with the overall company goals. This can be easily achieved by appointing functional managers who have an oversight function of supervising the employees in their departments at all times.
Solis Company uses the FIFO method to compute equivalent units. It has 4,000 units in beginning work in process, 20% complete as to conversion costs and 50% complete as to materials costs, 66,000 units started, and 6,000 units in ending work in process, 30% complete as to conversion costs, and 80% complete as to materials cost. How much are the equivalent units for materials under the FIFO method
Answer:
The equivalent units for materials under the FIFO method are 68,800 units
Explanation:
Equivalent units is a measurement of number of units completed in terms of percentage of inputs of production in output inventory.
Calculation of Equivalent Units under FIFO method.
To finish Opening work in process ( 4,000 units × 50%) = 2,000
Started and Completed units (66,000 - 4,000) × 100% = 62,000
Closing Work In Process (6,000 × 80%) = 4,800
Equivalent units of Production = 68,800
Conclusion :
The equivalent units for materials under the FIFO method are 68,800 units.
The US dollar/euro exchange rate is $1.6/€ while the Canadian dollar/US dollar exchange rate is C$1.25/$. You also observe that the actual euro/Canadian dollar cross exchange rate is €.65/C$. Find the triangular arbitrage profit (in USD) available to someone that has access to $1,000,000. Round intermediate steps to four decimals and your final answer to two decimals. Do not use the dollar sign when entering your answer.
Answer:
$300,000
Explanation:
I have $1,000,000 which I can use to buy C$1,250,000 (C$ = $1,000,000 x 1.25). Then I would use my C$1,250,000 to buy €812,500 (€ = C$1,250,000 x 0.65). Finally, if you use your €812,500 you can purchase $1,300,000 ($ = €812,500 x 1.6).
We started with $1,000,000 and ended up with $1,300,000 by purchasing Canadian dollars first and then Euros.
Peroni Corporation sold a parcel of land valued at $300,000. Its basis in the land was $250,000. For the land, Peroni received $75,000 in cash in the current year and a note providing Peroni with $225,000 in the subsequent year. What is Peroni's recognized gain in the current and subsequent year, respectively
Answer:
Peroni's recognized gain in the current and subsequent year is $12,502 and $37,507
Explanation:
In order to calculate Peroni's recognized gain in the current and subsequent year we would have to calculate first the Gross profit on sale with the following formula:
Gross profit on sale=(parcel of land sold-land basis)/parcel of land sold
Gross profit on sale=($300,000-$250,000)/$300,000
Gross profit on sale=16.67%
Hence, Peroni's recognized gain in the current and subsequent year would be as follows:
current year=amount received in cash*Gross profit on sale
current year=$75,000*16.67%
current year=$12,502
subsequent year=$225,000*16.67%
subsequent year=$37,507
Peroni's recognized gain in the current and subsequent year is $12,502 and $37,507
Tiago makes three models of camera lens. Its product mix and contribution margin per unit follow: Percentage of Unit sales Contribution Margin per unit Lens A 25 % $ 38 Lens B 40 30 Lens C 35 43 Required: 1. Determine the weighted-average contribution margin per unit. 2. Determine the number of units of each product that Tiago must sell to break even if fixed costs are $187,000. 3. Determine how many units of each product must be sold to generate a profit of $73,000.
Answer:
A. $36.55
B. 5116 units
C. 7114 units
Explanation:
Requirement 1: Weighted average contribution margin per unit
Lens A = $38 x 25% = $9.5
Lens B = $30 x 40% = $12
Lens C = $43 x 35% = $15.05
Total Contribution margin per unit = $36.55
Requirement 2: Breakeven if fixed cost is $187,000
Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / Contribution per unit
Break even point (units) = 187,000/36.55
Break even point (units) = 5116 units
Lens A = 5116 x 25% = 1279 units
Lens B = 5116 x 40% = 2046 units
Lens C = 5116 x 35% = 1791 units
Requirement 3: How many units to be sold to generate $73,000 profit
Required units = Fixed cost - required profit / contribution per unit
Required units = ($187,000-$73,000)/$36.55
Required units = 7114 units
Lens A = 7114 x 25% = 1779 units
Lens B = 7114 x 40% = 2846 units
Lens C = 7114 x 35% = 2489 units

What is the market value of a stock that paid a dividend of $3.80 last year if the dividend is increasing at 10% annually and the required rate of return on the stock is 20%
Answer:
The market value of the stock is $41.8
Explanation:
Div 1 = Div 0 (1+r)
=3.80 (1+0.10)
=3.80(1.10)
=4.18
Market value of the stock= Dividend 1 / (r-g)
= 4.18 / 0.2 - 0.1
= 4.18 / 0.1
= $41.8
The market value of the stock is $41.8
"Suppose a firm wants to take advantage of an upward-sloping yield curve. If the firm believes that interest rates will stay constant and it wants to use the current yield curve to bolster profits, which approach should the firm follow?"a. Conservative approach b. Aggressive approach c. Maturity matching approach
Answer: b. Aggressive approach
Explanation:
The Aggressive approach refers to using short term finance to finance temporary working capital and some of permanent working capital.
When facing an upward sloping yield curve which means that interest rates are expected to.rise in future, it is better to use the current rates to bolster profit. By engaging in an Aggressive approach, the company can borrow now to fund their operations as the Aggressive approach involves using short term financing to cater for working capital. This will keep interest costs at a minimum because they will.not be calculated based on the impending increase in interest rates but rather on current short term rates.

An office building owned by Milo was destroyed by Hurricane Mel on September 25, Year 4. On October 2, Year 4, the President of the United States declared the area where the office building was located a federal disaster area. Milo received settlement of his insurance claim for the destruction of his building on January 2, Year 5. In order to qualify for nonrecognition of gain on this involuntary conversion, what is the last date for Milo to acquire qualified replacement property
Answer:
December 31, year 9
Explanation:
Here, we want to state that date that is possible for Milo to acquire qualified replacement property.
In order to avoid being taxed on a gain resulting from an involuntary conversion, the property subject to the conversion must be replaced within a specified time, measured from the end of the calendar year in which the proceeds are received.
Generally, the period is 2 years, but it is 3 years when the involuntary conversion results from government condemnation or eminent domain and is extended to 4 years when the loss is in connection with a declared federal disaster area.
We are told from the question that Milo received the recovery on January 2, Year 5, the property would have to be replaced within 4 years from the end of Year 5 or by December 31, Year 9
In the context of project management, a task duration is always the same as the amount of work (effort) it takes to finish the task. true or false?
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The statement that says that in the context of project management, a task duration is always the same as the amount of work (effort) it takes to finish the task is false because the effort is the time a person needs to finish a task while the duration is the period of time that a person has to finish it. For example, an employee has a task that takes forty hours of work to finish it but he has a month to do it. In this case, the effort is forty hours but the task duration is one month.
Hudson Corporation will pay a dividend of $3.60 per share next year. The company pledges to increase its dividend by 4.60 percent per year indefinitely. If you require a return of 7.00 percent on your investment, how much will you pay for the company's stock today
Answer:
The maximum that should be paid for the stock of the company today is $146.64
Explanation:
The current price of the stock can be calculated using the constant growth model of DDM. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.
The formula for the price of the stock today under the constant growth model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 is the most recent dividend paid
D0 * (1+g) is the dividend expected to be paid next period
r is the required rate of return
g is the growth rate in dividends
As we don't have a D0 but instead are given a D1, the constant growth rate will be applied from year 2 and we will calculate the price of the stock at year 1 using the constant growth model and discount is back one year to calculate the price of the stock today.
P1 = D1 * (1+g) / r - g
P1 = 3.6 * (1+0.046) / (0.07 - 0.046)
P1 = $156.9
Price of the stock today is,
P0 = P1 / (1+r)
P0 = 156.9 / (1+0.07)
P0 = $146.635514 rounded off to $146.64
Skolits Corp. issued 15-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 7.3 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 103 percent of par value, what is the YTM?
Answer:
6.94%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity can be computed using excel rate function found below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the coupons that bond has left to pay i.e 26 semiannual coupons in 13 years
pmt is the semiannual coupon amount i.e $1000*7.3%*6/12=36.5
pv is the current market price i.e 103%*$1000=$1030
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(26,36.5,-1030,1000)=3.47%
semiannual yield =3.47%
annual yield =3.47% *2=6.94%

One way in which monopolistic competition differs from oligopoly is there are no barriers to entry in oligopolies.Immersive Reader
Answer:
The statement is false.
Explanation:
Oligopoly is a market situation where the market of a given good or service is dominated by a few strong, powerful providers. It could be described as a mix between monopoly and perfect competition, where there are several players in the market, but not so many that they can not influence the market price, and in which those providers are strong enough to establish a monopoly if they could. Examples of oligopoly markets are the market for cars and oil, among others, in which there are few but powerful enterprises in the market.
In oligopolies there are almost as many barriers as in monopolies: although there is competition between companies, for a new company it is almost impossible to enter the market since prices, quality and customers are retained by companies already established in the market.
Waterway Company applies manufacturing overhead to jobs on the basis of machine hours used. Overhead costs are estimated to total $346,775 for the year, and machine usage is estimated at 126,100 hours. For the year, $369,500 of overhead costs are incurred and 130,800 hours are used.
Manufacturing overhead rate $ per machine hour
Manufacturing Overhead $
Prepare the adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold.
Answer:
Waterway Company
Journal entry:
Debit Cost of goods sold $9,800
Credit Manufacturing overhead expense $9,800
To assign the underapplied overhead to cost of goods sold.
Explanation:
a) Data and calculations:
Estimated overhead costs = $346,775
Estimated machine usage = 126,100 hours
Overhead rate applied = $346,775/126,100 = $2.75 per hour
Actual overhead costs = $369,500
Actual machine usage = 130,800 hours
Actual overhead rate = $369,500/130,800 = $2.82
Overhead was underapplied by the difference between actual overhead costs applied and actual overhead.
Actual overhead applied = $2.75 x 130,800 = $359,700
Actual overhead costs = $369,500
Difference (underapplied) is $9,800
When the overhead is underapplied or overapplied because of the rate used based on actual usage, the underapplied overhead is a debit or credit to the cost of goods sold respectively. While underapplied overhead increases the cost of goods sold, overapplied reduces the cost of goods sold by the amount of under- or over-application.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a debit balance of $800 at the end of the year (before adjustment), and bad debt expense is estimated at 3% of credit sales. If credit sales are $556,000, the amount of the adjusting entry to record the estimate of the uncollectible accounts
Answer:
$15,880
Explanation:
The Bad Debt Expense = $16,680 ($556,000 x 3%)
This will be credited to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and debited to the Bad Debt Expense account. When balancing the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (the Uncollectible Accounts), the $800 debit balance will be netted off to arrive at $15,880 as the balance.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a contra asset (Accounts Receivable) account. It is a way for prudently providing for credit losses. The Bad Debt Expense account is the account where the expense for uncollectibles for the period is charged.
Consider the following timeline detailing a stream of cash flows: The timeline starts at Date 0 and ends at Date 4. The cash flow on Date 0 is indicated by a question mark. On Date 1, the cash flow is 100 dollars. On Date 2, the cash flow is 100 dollars. On Date 3, the cash flow is 200 dollars. On Date 4, the cash flow is 200 dollars. If the current market rate of interest is 6%, then the present value (PV) of this stream of cash flows is closest to:
Answer:
$509.68
Explanation:
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
cash flow in year 1 = $100
cash flow in year 2 = $100
cash flow in year 3= $200
cash flow in year 4 = $200
I = 6%
PV = $509.68

A client believes that XYZZY stock has topped out in price and is ready for a steep drop. What recommendation would give the customer the smallest profit if this occurs
Answer: Buy XYZZ stock and sell an XYZZ call
Explanation:
Since the buyer seems convinced that XYZZ stock has bottomed its price, he should purchase the stock since it has gotten to its cheapest Point.
And since he believes that XYZZ's price would rebound soon, He should exercise a little patience and not sell at a call option for XYZZ. Because if he attempts to sell at a call option then his earnings becomes very limited, since the price set at the call option would be very low.
My best advice would be for him to hold on to XYZZ stock for a while and allow for its price to rebound.

The following is an example of the reasoning of a rule utilitarian:
"If the practice of stealing is bad, then one ought not to steal now, even if in this case to steal would actually bring about better consequences."
a. True
b. False
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: False.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of "Rule Utilitarism" refers to a type of utilitarism in where the main characteristic is in the belief that an action is right when it conforms to a rule that leads to the greatest good. Therefore that under this type of ideology, the utilitarians believe that an action would be right when the amount of good that it brings is greater than the action itself. And that is why that for an utilitarian to steal would not be wrong in the case that a greater good would come afterwards for the majority, so that means, better consequences.
"Total revenue equals the price multiplied by the quantity. The relative change price and quantity is given by the concept of ________________."
Answer:
Elasticity
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded.
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

If the total debt ratio is 36%, and the allowable mortgage debt ratio is 28%, which of the following debt ratios would a loan applicant qualify for if:
a. The loan applicant's gross monthly income is $2,500, with a mortgage payment of $600
b. A car payment of $250, and minimum monthly credit card payment of $75
Answer:
The loan applicant would qualify for the mortgage debt ratio in option a because his mortgage debt ratio is 24% and the allowable mortgage debt ratio is 28%.
Explanation:
First, you have to calculate the debt ratio in each case. It is calculated by dividing the total debt by the income.
a. Debt= $600
Income= $2,500
Mortgage debt ratio=600/2,500= 0.24→24%
b. Debt=$600+$250+$75=$925
Income=$2,500
Total Debt ratio=925/2,500= 0.37→37%
The loan applicant would qualify for the mortgage debt ratio because his mortgage debt ratio is 24% and the allowable mortgage debt ratio is 28%. The loan applicant would not qualify for the total debt ratio because his ratio is 37% and the allowable total debt ratio is 36%.
A process capability index of 2 means that the upper and lower specification limits of the process are six standard deviations above and below the mean respectively. True or False? Eliminating variations is always possible. True or False?
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The formula to compute the process capability index is shown below:
Cpk = minimum [(Mean - LSL) ÷ 3σ , (USL – Mean) ÷ 3σ]
Now
If Cpk = 2,
so
(Mean - LSL) ÷ 3σ = 2 or (USL – Mean) ÷ 3σ = 2
Mean – LSL = 6σ or USL – Mean = 6σ
Therefore, if Cpk = 2, the process's USL or LSL is six standard deviations (6σ) up or down mean
Hence, the given statement is true
Louie Company has a defined benefit pension plan. On December 31 (the end of the fiscal year), the company received the PBO report from the actuary. The following information was included in the report: ending PBO, $112,000; benefits paid to retirees, $10,000; interest cost, $7,500. The discount rate applied by the actuary was 10%. What was the service cost for the year
Answer: $39,500
Explanation:
Service Cost for the year = Ending PBO - Opening PBO - Interest cost + Benefits paid
Opening PBO
Opening PBO is the amount that the interest was charged on.
Discount rate of 10% came out to be $7,500.
The opening balance = 7,500/10%
= $75,000
Service Cost = 112,000 - 75,000 - 7,500 + 10,000
Service Cost for the year = $39,500
