An investor deposits 50 in an investment account on January 1. The following summarizes the activity in the account during the year: DateValue Immediately Before DepositDeposit March 154020 June 18080 October 117575 On June 30, the value of the account is 157.50. On December 31, the value of the account is X. Using the time-weighted method, the equivalent annual effective yield during the first 6 months is equal to the (time-weighted) annual effective yield during the entire 1-year period. Calculate X.

Answers

Answer:

236.25

Explanation:

Calculation to determine X

First step is to calculate the 6 months Yield

6 month Yield=(40/40+20) (80/40+20) (157.60/80+80)+1)

6 month Yield=(40/60) (80/60) (157.60/160)-1

6 month Yield=5%

Second step is to calculate the Annual equivalent

Annual equivalent=(1.05)^2-1

Annual equivalent=10.25%

Third step is to calculate the 1 year yield

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/40+20) (175/80+80) (x/175+75)

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/60) (175/160) (x/250)-1

1 year yield=0.1025

Now Let calculate X

x(0.004667)=1+.1025

x(0.004667)=1.1025

x=1.1025/0.004667

x=236.25

Therefore X is 236.25

Cook Company processes and packages frozen seafood. The year just ended was Cook's first year of business and they are preparing financial statements. The immediate issue facing Cook is the treatment of the direct labor costs. Cook set a standard at the beginning of the year that allowed two hours of direct labor for each unit of output. The standard rate for direct labor is $27 per hour. During the year, Cook processed 60,000 units of seafood for the year, of which 4,800 units are in ending finished goods. (There are no work-in-process inventories). Cook used 123,500 hours of labor. Total direct labor costs paid by Cook for the year amounted to $3,087,500.

Required:
a. What was the direct labor price variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for the year?
b. Assume Cook writes off all variances to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the entries Cook would make to record and close out the variances.
c. Assume Cook prorates all variances to the appropriate accounts. Prepare the entries Cook would make to record and close out the variances.

Answers

Answer:

Cook Company

a. The direct labor price variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for the year:

Direct labor price variance =  (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours

= $247,000 Favorable

Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard rate

= $94,500 Unfavorable

b. If all variances are written off to the Cost of Goods Sold:

Journal Entries:

Debit Work in Process $247,000

Credit Direct labor variance $247,000

To record the favorable direct labor price variance.

Debit Direct labor variance $94,500

Credit Work in Process $94,500

To record the unfavorable direct labor efficiency variance.

Debit Direct labor variance $152,500

Credit Cost of Goods Sold $152,500

To close the direct labor price variance.

c. The appropriate accounts are not indicated, though they should be Raw materials, Work in Process, and Cost of Goods Sold.  However, the ratios are not given for prorating.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Standard direct labor hours per unit = 2

Standard rate per direct labor hour = $27

Production units = 60,000

Ending Finished goods = 4,800

Cost of goods sold units = 55,200

Actual direct labor hours used = 123,500

Standard hours = 120,000 (2 * 60,000)

Actual direct labor costs = $3,087,500

Actual direct labor price = $25 ($3,087,500/123,500)

Standard direct labor costs = $3,240,000 (120,000 * $27)

a. The direct labor price variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for the year:

Direct labor price variance =  (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours

= ($25 - $27) * 123,500

= $247,000 Favorable

Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard rate

= (123,500 - 120,000) * $27

= $94,500 Unfavorable

b. If all variances are written off to the Cost of Goods Sold:

Analysis of Journal Entries:

Work in Process $247,000 Direct labor variance $247,000

Direct labor variance $94,500 Work in Process $94,500

Direct labor variance $152,500 Cost of Goods Sold $152,500

Harmon Inc, manufactures two products from a joint process, product A and product B. A standard production run incurs joint costs of $45,000 and results in 1,500 units of product A and 2,500 units of product B. Product A sells for $50.00 per unit and Product B sells for $20.00 per unit. Assuming that no further processing occurs after the split-ff point, how much of the joint costs are allocated to Product A and B using the physical measure method

Answers

Answer:

Harmon Inc.

Joint costs of $45,000 allocated to:

Product A = $16,875

Product B = $28,125

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Joint costs of a standard production run = $45,000

Joint products        Product A     Product B      Total

Production units       1,500            2,500          4,000

Selling price per unit  $50               $20

Allocation of joint costs based on physical measure method:

Product A = $16,875 (1,500/4,000 * $45,000)

Product B = $28,125 (2,500/4,000 * $45,000)

b) Joint costs of $45,000 were incurred by Product A and Product B jointly because they consumed the same resources during the production run.  These costs can be allocated to the products based on established criteria, for example, units of products and sales value.  The purpose is to properly account for the joint costs at split-off.

For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a make an unsterilized purchase of foreign bonds. b make an unsterilized sale of foreign bonds. c make a sterilized purchase of foreign bonds. d make a sterilized sale of foreign bonds.

Answers

Answer:

c. make a sterilized purchase of foreign bonds.

Explanation:

A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.

Bonds are generally debts, which may be floated in different ways with respect to the issuer of the bond and its type. Bonds are used by government and corporate institutions to borrow money with interest and they also have to pay for the face value of the bonds at maturity.

The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid. Thus, a bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.

In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium. A bond that is being issued at a discount has its stated rate lower than the market interest rate, on the specific date of issuance while a bond that is issued at a premium, has its stated rate higher than the market interest rate on the specific date of issuance.

Hence, a central bank can increase its international reserves without changing the domestic money supply by making a sterilized purchase of foreign bonds.

Calculate the amount paid for goodwill.

Answers

Answer:

the amount paid for goodwill is $3,500,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount paid for goodwill is given below

But before that the net fair value of assets would be determined

Net fair value of assets purchased is

= ($7,500,000 + $14,000,000 + $1,500,000) - ($4,000,000 + $5,500,000)

= $13,500,000

Now Amount paid for goodwill is

= $17,000,000 - $13,500,000

= $3,500,000

Hence the amount paid for goodwill is $3,500,000

If a bank has $500 million of checkable deposits, a required reserve ratio of 15%, and it holds $126 million reserves, then the maximum deposit outflow it can sustain without running into reserve deficiency is Group of answer choices $20 million $60 million $71 million $51 million

Answers

Answer: $51 million

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the required reserve which will be:

= $500 × 15%

= $500 million × 0.15

= $75 million

Then, the excess reserve will be:

= $126 million - $75 million

= $51 million

Therefore, the maximum deposit outflow it can sustain without running into reserve deficiency is $51 million.

b. An increasing number of import quotas.
c. Services such as web conferencing and teleconferencing that facilitate international meetings.
d. International trade agreements that lower tariffs and import quotas.

Answers

Answer:

      a. Better high-speed rail lines.  

      c. Services such as web conferencing and teleconferencing that  facilitate international meetings.

       d. International trade agreements that lower tariffs and import quotas.

Explanation:

Better high-speed rails have improved the speed and capacity to carry goods across countries thereby enabling imports to be done with more ease. This has increased both the exports to and imports for other countries.

Information Technology has also grown to the point where international meetings can be had online which means that trade agreements and contracts can be completed quickly and with more convenience so more trade is happening between companies in the U.S. and other nations.

Also international trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), have lowered tariffs such that it is cheaper to both export and import than it was so both measures grew.

Discounting Cash Flows and Earnings. Under the residual income approach and the discounted cash flow approach to firm valuation, carnings and cash flows, respectively, are discounted using a firm's cost of equity. Discuss why the cost of equity is the appropriate discount rate to use to discount a firm's camings and cash flows. Why is the cost of debt inappropriate to use to discount a firm's earnings or cash flows

Answers

Answer:

Cost of debt is used for external source of finance whereas cost of equity is used for internal source of finance.

Explanation:

Debt is the fund borrowed from lender at a standard rate of interest. Equity is fund acquired by the investors and shareholders. The required rate of return for equity is higher than the rate of return to the debt holders. This is because debt holders are safe and they are paid first in case of a bankruptcy and liquidity situation of a company. Debt is considered as cheap source of finance but acquiring higher debt will increase company gearing. It is not suitable to use cost of debt as discount factor for the cash flows of the company. The best and ideal discount factor is WACC which is derived by the combination of debt and equity.

The chapter explained why exporters cheer when their home currency depreciates. At the same time, domestic consumers find that they pay higher prices, so they should be disappointed when the currency becomes weaker. Why do the exporters usually win out, so that governments often seem to welcome depreciations while trying to avoid appreciations? (Hint: Think about the analogy with protective tariffs.)

Answers

Answer:

Exporters usually win out when their home currency depreciates because it increases demand for the exported products.

Explanation:

The foreign consumers find that the prices of the imports are now reduced because of the depreciation of the exporting nation's currency.  The impact is reduced cost of importation for the importing consumers.  When prices fall, demand tends to increase relative to supply.  For any government that wants to encourage exports for earning foreign exchange, it will always work hard to avoid currency appreciation so that consumers from the importing nation are not discouraged or made to develop alternatives.

Exporters usually win out when their home currency depreciates because the depreciation increases the demand of the exported products.

When the prices fall, demand of the products and goods tend to increase. When the home currency depreciates, this will leads to higher demand of goods from other countries so the exporters produce and exports more goods and earn more money.

The government also wants to encourage exports in order to earn foreign exchange so that's why the exporters as well as the government cheers when their home currency depreciates.

C Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $808,200 that would have a 9 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $141,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $22,800. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $89,800. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): Multiple Choice 11.28% 5.28% 6.52% 16.88%

Answers

Answer:

6.52%

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

New machine cost = $808,200

Scrap sold = $22,800

Cost of investment = $808,200 - $22,800 = $785,400

Saving from new machine = $141,000

Annual depreciation of machine = $89,800

Net operating income = $141,000 - $89,800 = $51,200

Now we can calculate the rate of return by using following formula,

Simple rate of return = Net operating income ÷ Cost of Investment

= $51,200 ÷ $785,400

= 6.52%

Answers

Answer:

Preferred dividend calculation:

= Percentage return * Par Value * number of shares

a. The semiannual dividend on 6% cumulative preferred, $62 par value, 8,200 shares authorized, issued, and outstanding.

= 6% * 62 * 8,200 * 1/2 years

= $‭15,252‬

b. The annual dividend on $2.25 cumulative preferred, 130,000 shares authorized, 78,000 shares issued, 68,900 shares outstanding. Last year's dividend has not been paid.

In this case, last year's dividend was not paid and this is a cumulative preferred stock so the dividend will be accrued from last year and paid this year.

= Preferred dividend * 2 years

= (2.25 * 68,900 shares outstanding) * 2

= $‭310,050‬

c. The quarterly dividend on 10.0% cumulative preferred, $90 stated value, $106 liquidating value, 78,000 shares authorized, 67,600 shares issued and outstanding. No dividends are in arrears.

= 10% * 90 * 67,600 * 1/4 years

= $152,775

The bonds pay 8 % interest, semiannually. The tax rate is 34 %. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital

Answers

Answer:

The firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 7.76%.

Explanation:

Note: Par value of the preferred stock is $100 but it is omitted in the question.

Market price share = (Dividend just paid (1 + Dividend growth rate)) / (Cost of equity – Dividend growth rate) ………………………………….. (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation and solve for cost of equity, we have:

36 = (1.64 * (1 + 0.028)) / (Cost of equity – 0.028)

36 = 1.68592/ (Cost of equity – 0.028)

36(Cost of equity – 0.028) = 1.68592

36Cost of equity - 1.008 = 1.68592

36Cost of equity = 11.68592 + 1.008

Cost of equity = (1.68592 + 1.008) / 36

Cost of equity = 0.0748, or 7.48%

Cost of preferred stock = (Par value * Dividend rate) / Current price = (100 * 6%) / 51 = 0.1176, or 11.76%

Cost of debt = Coupon rate * (100% - tax rate) = 8% * (100% - 34%) = 0.0528, or 5.28%

Common stock market value = 58,000 * $36 = $2,088,000

Preferred market value = 12,000 * $51 = $612,000

Bond market value = $750,000 * ($1,011 / $1,000) = $758,250

Total market value of the company = Common stock market value + Preferred market value + Bond market value = $2,088,000 + $612,000 + $758,250 = $3,458,250

WACC = (7.48% * ($2,088,000 / $3,458,250)) + (11.76% * (612,000 / $3,458,250)) + (5.28% * ($758,250/ $3,458,250)) = 0.0776, or 7.76%

Tops Co. purchases equipment for $12,000 and has been using straight-line depreciation, estimating a 5-year life and $500 salvage value. At the beginning of the third year, Tops decides to use the equipment for a total of 6-years with no salvage value. Compute the revised depreciation for the third year. Multiple choice question. $2,875 $1,850 $1,250 $2,375

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $1,850

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Purchase price= $12,000

Salvage value= $500

Useful life= 5 years

First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation and accumulated depreciation:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (12,000 - 500) / 5

Annual depreciation= 2,300

Accumulated depreciation (2 years)= 2,300*1= 4,600

Now, we can determine the annual depreciation with a 4 more years of useful life:

Book value= 12,000 - 4,600= 7,400

useful life= 4 years more

Annual depreciation= 7,400/4

Annual depreciation= $1,850
