Answer:

often force us to choose between equally unsatisfactory alternatives

Explanation:

In the presence of two possible alternatives, a problem in the decision making process could arise. Non of these alternatives are absolutely acceptable from an ethical point of view. Ethical dilemmas are very complicated and difficult to solve. In an ethical dilemma neither of these alternatives resolves the situation in an ethically acceptable fashion thereby force us to choose between equally unsatisfactory alternatives.

On January 1 of the current year (Year 1), our company acquired a truck for $75,000. The estimated useful life of the truck is 5 years or 100,000 miles. The residual value at the end of 5 years is estimated to be $5,000. The actual mileage for the truck was 22,000 miles in Year 1 and 27,000 miles in Year 2. What is the depreciation expense for the second year of use (Year 2) if we use the units of production method

Answers

Answer:

The depreciation expense for the second year of use (Year 2) if we use the units of production method is $18,900.

Explanation:

Units of production method is depreciation method that considers the number of units that an asset produces more closely relevant than the number of economic useful life of the assets. The method therefore produces a greater depreciation expenses in years when the assets is heavily put into use.

Under the units of production method, the depreciation expenses for a particular is the original cost of the equipment minus its salvage value, and this is then multiplied by the ratio of the expected number of units the asset should produce in that year to the number of units the asset is expected to produce in its useful life. Mathematically, this can be stated as follows:

Depreciation expenses for a particular = (Cost - Salvage/Residual value) * (Units produced in the year / Total units expected to produce throughout useful life)

To calculate the depreciation expense for the second year of use (Year 2) in this question, use the above formula as follows:

Depreciation expenses in Year 2 = ($75,000 - $5,000) * (27,000 / 100,000) = $70,000 * 0.27 = $18,900

Therefore, the depreciation expense for the second year of use (Year 2) if we use the units of production method is $18,900.

NB - Extra Information that can assist your learning:

Although this is not part of the question, but we can also compute the depreciation expenses for Year 1 in order to compare it with Year 2 as follows:

Depreciation expenses in year 1 = ($75,000 - $5,000) * (22,000 / 100,000) = $70,000 * 0.22 = $15,400.

We can see that the depreciation expenses of $18,900 for Year 2 is greater than the depreciation expenses of $15,400 for Year 1. The reason is that the truck is more heavily used in Year 2 at 27,000 miles than in Year 1 at just 22,000 miles.

Emily is considering purchasing a new home for $400,000. She intends to put 20% down and finance $320,000, but is unsure which financing option to select. Emily is considering the following options: o Option 1: Fixed rate mortgage over 30 years at 8% interest, zero points, or o Option 2: Fixed rate mortgage over 30 years at 4% interest, plus two discount points. How long would her financial planner recommend that she live in the house to break even using Option 2 presuming she is not financing the points

Answers

Answer:

The break even for Emily using Option 2 presuming she is not financing the points is 7.8

Explanation:

Solution

In this case, in other to determine this problem, we need to find the monthly payments for both options

For option 1 (EMI)

Where

P = 320,000,

r =0.08/12 = 0.00667

n = 360

Now,

EMI = P *r * (1 + r)^n/  (1 + r)^n -1

So,

EMI =320,000 * 0.00667 * (1 + 0.00667)^360/ (1 + 0.00667)^360

EMI = 23329.56/9.93573

=2348.05

For Option 2

P = 320,000,

n = 360

r = 4%/12 = 0.003333

Thus,

EMI =320,000 * 0.003333 * (1 + 0.003333)^360/ (1 + 0.003333)^360

EMI = 3534.398/2.313498

=1527.73

Note:

When Emily is paying  2 discount point in the second option, she is paying the following:

2% * 320000 = 6400

Also she is saving the following:

2.348.05 - 1527.73

=820.32 on payment (monthly) because of the reduction of EMI in the second option

Thus,

The break even time is =payments  due to points/ monthly savings

=6400/820.32

=7.8

Demand for dishwasher water pumps is 8 per day. The standard deviation of demand is 3 per day, and the order lead time is four days. The service level is 95%. What should the reorder point be?

Answers

Answer:

41.9 units

Explanation:

Reorder point can be defined as the level of inventory which help to triggers an action to replace that particular inventory stock in such a way that when the stock level reduced the item must be reordered because it is the minimum unit quantity that a business owner or an organisation should always have in available inventory before they need to reorder more product.

Using this formula

Reorder point= Demand during the lead time + Z for customer service level * standard deviation * Square root of lead time multiplier.

Where,

Demand during the lead time =(8*4)

Z for customer service level =1.65

Standard deviation =3

Square root of lead time multiplier=4

Let plug in the formula

Reorder point=(8*4) + 1.65*3* square root of(4)

= 41.9 units.

Therefore the Reorder point is 41.9 units

Answers

Answer:

Debit interest expenses for $15,000

Credit interest payable for $15,000

Explanation:

Since January 1 to June 30 is 6 months, we need to calculate interest expenses for the 6 months as follows:

Monthly interest expenses = ($500,000 * 6%) / 12 = $2,500

Interest expenses for 6 months = $2,500 * 6 = $15,000

The adjusting entry required will therefore look as follws:

Assume a company pays tax at a rate of 15% on its first $50,000 of income. Any income above $50,000 is taxed at 25%. If a company has $75,000 of taxable income, which of the following statements is correct?

a. Its marginal tax rate is 15%.
b. Its average tax rate is 25%.
c. Its marginal tax rate is 18.33%.
d. Its average tax rate is 18.33%.

Answers

Answer:

Option C, Its marginal tax rate is 18.33%. is correct

Explanation:

The tax payable on its first $50,000 of income is shown below:

tax payable=$50,000*15%=$7500

The tax payable on the remaining balance of $25,000 is computed thus:

tax payable on the balance of $25,000=$25,000*25%=$6250

Total tax payable=$7,500+$6,250=$ 13,750.00  

Marginal tax rate=tax payable/taxable income=$ 13,750.00/$75,000=18.33%

In the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because: a. of government regulations. b. of collusion. c. firms are free to enter and exit the market. d. firms produce a differentiated product.

Answers

Answer:

c. firms are free to enter and exit the market.

Explanation:

A monopolistically competitive market is a market in which there are a lot of organizations that sell products that are similar and it tends to be easy to enter and leave the industry. Because it is easy for a company to enter the market and there is a lot of competition, in the long run the economic profit is zero. According to this, the answer is that in the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because firms are free to enter and exit the market.

The other options are not right because a monopolistically competitive market has zero profits because of its low entry barriers and amount of competitors not because of government regulations or an illegal agreement between organizations to control competition. Also, in a monopolistically competitive market the products are similar.

When a monopolistically competitive market opens up to international trade, each firm produces a greater quantity of output than it did before. Explain why this is

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the increase in the amount of buyers.

Explanation:

To begin with, due to the fact that the company is now selling internationally then the market is wide more open for them to increase the portfolio of clients and moreover to increase the amount of sales that the company is having. Therefore that when the company starts to trade internationally it will increase its amount of consumers that will be able to buy from them and also the amount of resellers that can buy from them to buy to final consumers. Primarily, the improvement in the increase of buyers will tend to increase the amount of production that the company is producing and so also the amount of sales so therefore that the company will produce a greater quantity of output than it did before.

Deborah Lewis, general manager of the Northwest Division of Berkshire Co., has significant authority over pricing decisions as well as programs that involve cost reduction/control. The data that follow relate to upcoming divisional operations:



Average invested capital: $15,000,000

Annual total fixed costs: $3,900,000

Variable cost per unit: $80

Number of units expected to be sold: 120,000

Assume the unit selling price is $132 and that Berkshire has a 16% imputed interest charge.

Top management will promote Deborah to corporate headquarters if her division can generate $200,000 of residual income (RI). If Deborah desires to move to corporate, what adjustment must the division do to the amount of annual total fixed costs?

Answers

Answer:

The revised fixed costs = $3,640,000

Explanation:

Calculation of Residual Income:

Residual Income = Net income - (Invested capital * Minimum required rate of return)

Net Income = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs

Net Income = (120,000*132) - (120,000*80) - 3,900,000

Net Income = $2,340,000

Invested capital = $15,000,000

Minimum required rate of return = 16%

Therefore, residual income = $2,340,000 - ($15,000,000 * 16%)

= -$60,000

Hence, adjustment to be made to the amount of fixed costs so that residual income becomes $200,000 = $200,000+$60,000 = $260,000

Therefore, revised fixed costs = $3,900,000 - $260,000 = $3,640,000

On January 1, 20X6, Plus Corporation acquired 90 percent of Side Corporation for $180,000 cash. Side reported net income of $30,000 and dividends of $10,000 for 20X6, 20X7, and 20X8. On January 1, 20X6, Side reported common stock outstanding of $100,000 and retained earnings of $60,000, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $20,000. It held land with a book value of $30,000 and a market value of $35,000 and equipment with a book value of $50,000 and a market value of $60,000 at the date of combination. The remainder of the differential at acquisition was attributable to an increase in the value of patents, which had a remaining useful life of five years. All depreciable assets held by Side at the date of acquisition had a remaining economic life of five years. Plus uses the equity method in accounting for its investment in Side. Based on the preceding information, the increase in the fair value of patents held by Side is:

Answers

Answer:

$25,000

Explanation:

Plus corporation acquired 90% of Side Corporation for $180,000 cash.

Net income = $30,000

Dividend for 3 years = $10,000

Common stock outstanding = $100,000

Retained earnings = $60,000

Fair value = $20,000

Book value of land = $30,000

Market value of land = $35,000

Book value of equipment = $50,000

Market value of equipment = $60,000

Required:

Find the increase in the fair value of patents held by Side Corporation.

To find the increase in the fair value of patents, use:

Increase in fair value = Fair value of corporation - Total value without patent.

Where

Fair value = $180,000 + $20,000 = $200,000

Total value without patent = common stoc(100,000) + retained earnings(60,000) + equipment adjustment($60,000 - $50,000 = $10,000) + land adjustment($35,000 - $30,000= $5,000) =

$100,000 + $60,000 + $10,000 + $5,000 = $175,000

Therefore,

Increase = Fair value of corporation($200,000) - Total value without patent($175,000) = $25,000

The increase in the fair value of patents held by Side Corporation is $25,000

Bolton Tire Manufacturing and the union came to an impasse during negotiation of the collective bargaining agreement. Specifically, they could not agree on the wage increase for the employees. The union representative reported this information to the employees, and they staged a strike without the union's authorization.
A. The employees have engaged in an unfair labor practice strike.
B. The employees have engaged in an economic strike.
C. The employees have engaged in a sitdown strike.
D. None of the choices are correct.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: the employees have engaged in an unfair labor practice strike.

Explanation:

To begin with, due to the fact that the union was already establishing the area for the negotiation and they might have planeed obviously to keep trying to increase the situation in their favour then the action taken by the employees was a bit hurry and was obvious that was not thought very well with calm minds and therefore that they engaged in an unfair labor practice strike because they had to be patience and wait for the union to improve the situation for them, because their are the representatives and if the company sees that the workers do not obey to the representatives then the union will lose negotiation power and the situation will get worse for them.

Answers

Answer: C $9,400,000 E $600,000; B $10,000,000

Explanation:

The Company Issued bonds worth $10,000,000 but only received $9,400,000 in cash.

This means that they issued the Bonds at a discount. With the discount being the difference between how much was issued and how much was received.

This discount will be sent to the Discount on Bonds Payable account.

The Cash received of $9,400,000 will be sent to the cash account.

The company will still have to pay the entire figure of $10,000,000 in bonds so the full amount will go to the Bonds Payable account.

The Journal Entry is thus,

DR Cash $9,400,000

DR Discount on Bonds Payable $600,000

CR Bonds Payable $10,000,000

Paladin Furnishings generated $4 million in sales during 2016, and its year-end total assets were $2.4 million. Also, at year-end 2016, current liabilities were $500,000, consisting of $200,000 of notes payable, $200,000 of accounts payable, and $100,000 of accrued liabilities. Looking ahead to 2017, the company estimates that its assets must increase by $0.60 for every $1.00 increase in sales. Paladin's profit margin is 3%, and its retention ratio is 55%. How large of a sales increase can the company achieve without having to raise funds externally

Answers

Answer:

$105,571.6

Explanation:

Calculation of how large of a sales increase can the company achieve without having to raise funds externally.

The first step is to calculate the self-supporting growth rate using this Formula:

Self-supporting growth rate =

M (1-POR) (S0)÷A0 – L0 – M (1-POR) (S0)

Where:

M = Net Income/Sales = 3%

POR = Payout ratio = 55%

S0 = Sales = $4,000,000

A0 = $2,400,000

L0 = Spontaneous liabilities = $200,000+$100,000 =$300,000

We are using only accounts payable and accruals for LO because they are been considered as spontaneous liabilities

Let plug in the formula

.03 (1 - .55) (4,000,000) ÷2,400,000-300,000 - .01(1-.55)(4,000,000)

=54,000÷2,100,000 – 54,000

=54,000÷2,046,000

=2.63929%

Therefore, the self-sustaining growth rate will be 2.63929%

Second step is to Calculate for how large a sales can increase

Using this formula

Sales amount * Self-sustaining growth rate

Let plug in the formula

$4,000,000×2.63929%

=$105,571.6

Therefore, the sales can increase by $105,571.6

In May direct labor was 40% of conversion cost. If the manufacturing overhead for the month was $120,600 and the direct materials cost was $29,200, the direct labor cost was:

Answers

Answer:

direct labor= $80,400

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

In May direct labor was 40% of conversion cost. The manufacturing overhead for the month was $120,600.

The conversion costs are the sum of direct labor and manufacturing overhead.

Conversion costs= 120,600/0.6= 201,000

direct labor= 210,000*0.4= 80,400

In 2010, the BowWow Company purchased 11,752 units from its supplier at a cost of $ 11.73 per unit. BowWow sold 18,971 units of its product in 2010 at a price of $ 24.86 per unit. BowWow began 2010 with $ 864,593 in inventory (inventory is carried at a cost of $ 11.73 per unit). Using this information, compute BowWow's 2010 ending inventory balance (in dollars).

Answers

Answer:

Ending inventory balance is $ 779,914.13  

Explanation:

The cost of goods sold formula can be used to determine the ending inventory by rearranging the formula and making the ending inventory the subject of the formula:

cost of goods=beginning inventory+inventory purchased-ending inventory

ending inventory=beginning inventory+inventory purchased-costs of goods sold

ending inventory=$864,593+(11,752*$11.73)-(18971*$11.73)=$ 779,914.13  

Packard Corporation transferred its 100 percent interest to State Company as part of a complete liquidation of the company. In the exchange, Packard received land with a fair market value of $380,000. Packard's basis in the State stock was $740,000. The land had a basis to State Company of $562,000. What amount of loss does State recognize in the exchange and what is Packard's basis in the land it receives

Answers

Answer:

No loss recognized by State and a basis in the land of $562,000 to Packard.

Explanation:

Given that:

Percentage amount transferred by Packard Corporation = 100%

In exchange ;

Packard received land with a fair market value of $380,000

Packard's basis in the State stock was $740,000

The land had a basis to State Company of $562,000

We are to determine What amount of loss does State recognize in the exchange and what is Packard's basis in the land it receives.

Since there is complete  liquidation of the state's company.

The state will not recognize any amount of loss due to the fact that the complete liquidation is tax-deferred to Packard Corporation.

Similarly, Packard's basis in the land is equal to State's basis in the land.

Thus;

In present case, The  State Company has basis of $562000;  Hence; $562000 is the basis in the land for Packard's.

A company applies overhead at a rate of 150% of direct labor cost. Actual overhead cost for the current period is $1,150,000, and direct labor cost is $565,000. Determine whether there is over- or underapplied overhead using the T-account below. Factory OverheadActual Overhead 950,000 Overapplied overhead 950,000

Answers

Answer:

Under applied overheads= $302,500

Explanation:

Overheads are charged to units produced by the means of an estimated overhead absorption rate. This rate is computed using budgeted overhead and budgeted activity level.

As a result of this, overhead charged to total units product might be over or under absorbed compared to the actual amount incurred.

Overhead absorption rate

=budgeted Overhead/Budgeted labour cost × 100

This already given in the question as  150% of the direct labour rate

= 150% of direct labour cost

Applied overhead= OAR× actual labour cost

= 150% × $565,000=$847,500

Under applied overhead = is the difference between actual overhead and applied overhead

$1,150,000 - $847,500 = $302,500

Under applied overheads= $302,500

Here it is under applied because the applied is less than the actual overhead cost

Stocks A and B each have an expected return of 15%, a standard deviation of 20%, and a beta of 1.2. The returns on the two stocks have a correlation coefficient of 0.6. Your portfolio consists of 50% A and 50% B. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. The portfolio's expected return is 15%.
B. The portfolio's standard deviation is greater than 20%.
C. The portfolio's beta is greater than 1.2.
D. The portfolio's standard deviation is 20%.
E. The portfolio's beta is less than 1.2.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option (A) The portfolio's expected return is 15%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Both Stock A and B have a return expected to be =15%

Standard deviation of =20%

Beta = 1.2

Correlation coefficient = 0.6

Now,

The expected return of the portfolio is computed as follows:

Expected return (ERp) = (ERₐ * Wₐ) +(ERb * Wb)

Expected return (ERp)  = (15% *50%) +(15%* 50 %)

Expected return (ERp) = (0.075) + (0.075)

Expected return (ERp) =0.15 or 15%

Expected return (ERp)  = 15%

Working capital is the net of current assets (Inventory, account receivables, Cash etc) and current liabilities (Accounts payable, short term notes payable etc).

It is a financial measure that gives insight into how liquid a company is. .

As such, the company's working capital

= $1,235,455 - $4,159,357 + $7,184,800 + $3,472,300 - $1,136,100 + $121,455

( the signs are positive for assets and negative for liabilities)

= $6,718,553

CMS Corporation's balance sheet as of today is as follows: Long-term debt (bonds, at par) $10,000,000 Preferred stock 2,000,000 Common stock ($10 par) 10,000,000 Retained earnings 4,000,000 Total debt and equity $26,000,000 The bonds have a 4.0% coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature exactly 10 years from today. The yield to maturity is 12%, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the current market value of the firm's debt

Answers

Answer:

$5,412,000

Explanation:

Given:

Long-term debt (bonds, at par):$10,000,000

Preferred stock :2,000,000

Common stock ($10 par): 10,000,000

Retained earnings: 4,000,000

Total debt and equity :$26,000,000

Coupon rate = 4%(semi annually)

Par value = $1000

YTM = 12%

Required:

Find the current market value of the firm's debt.

Find the bond price:

Bond price [tex] = (C * (\frac{1 - (\frac{1}{(1+i)^n})}{i}) + (\frac{m}{(1+i)^n}) [/tex]

[tex] = (C * (\frac{1 - (\frac{1}{(1+0.06)^2^0})}{0.06}) + (\frac{1000}{(1+0.06)^2^0}) [/tex]

[tex] = 541.20 [/tex]

Bond price = $541.20

Find number of bonds:

Number of bonds [tex] = \frac{10,000,000}{1,000} = 10,000[/tex]

Now, to find the current market value of the firm's debt, use:

Current market value of debt = number of bonds × bond price

= 10,000 × 541.20

= $5,412,000

Current market value of the firm's debt = $5,412,000

T. Boone Pickens football stadium at Oklahoma State University has a seating capacity of about 40,000. Assume the stadium sells out all six home games before the season begins and the athletic department collects $31 million in ticket sales.

Required:
a. What was the average price per season ticket and average price per individual game ticket sold?
b. Record the advance collection of $29 million in ticket sales.
c. Record the revenue earned after the first home game was completed.

Answers

Answer:

Total collection of ticket sales is $31 million

Seating capacity is 40,000 tickets

Average price per season ticket = Total collection / Seating capacity

=$31,000,000 / 40,000

=$775

Therefore, the average price per season ticket is $775

Average price per individual game ticket sold = Average price per ticket / Number of games

= 775 / 6

= $129

Therefore, the average price per individual game sold is $129 and the number of games is 6

A jewely firm buys semiprecious stones to make bracelets and rings. The supplier quotes a price of $8.90 per stone for quantities of 600 stones or more, $9.30 per stone for orders of 400 to 599 stones, and $9.80 per stone for lesser quantities. The jewelry firm operates 108 days per year. Usage rate is 26 stones per day, and ordering costs are $406.
a.If carrying costs are $3 per year for each stone,find the order quantity that will minimize total annual cost. (Do not roun d intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number) Order quantity stones _________
b. If annual carrying costs are 28 percent of unit cost, what is the optimal order size? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.) Optimal order size stones ___________
c. If lead time is 4 working days, at what point should the company reorder? (Do not round intermediate calculetions. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number) Reorder quantity stones ___________

Answers

Answer:

a. Order quantity that will minimize total cost = 503 stones

b. Optimal order size = 605 stones

c. Reorder point = 104 stones

Explanation:

Demand = 26 stones per day * 108 days = 2808 stones per year

a. Order quantity of Stones:

Economic Order Quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2DS}/H[/tex]

D = Demand, S = Ordering Cost, H = Carrying Cost

= [tex]\sqrt{2*2808*406}[/tex] / 3

EOQ = 503 stones.

b. If Carrying cost is 28% of unit cost then EOQ:

= [tex]\sqrt{2*2808*406}[/tex] / 8.90* 0.28

= 1510 / 2.492 = 605 stones

c. Reorder Point:

= Average Usage per day * Average lead time + Safety stock

= 26 stones per day * 4 working days

= 104.
