Answer 1

Answer:

A)                                    Journal entries

Date                           Account Titles                 Debit           Credit

Dec 31, 2014    No Journal Entry  

Dec 31,2015  Notes Payable                         $1,500

                        (44,000 – 42,500)

                        Unrealized Holding Gain/Loss                        $1,500

                        (Net Income)

Dec 31,2016    Unrealized Holding Gain/Loss    $3,500

                        (Net Income)

                        Notes Payable                                                   $3,500

                        (38,000 – 36,000 + 1,500)  

B)  The note will be reported at the fair value of notes payable as on 31 December 2015. Therefore, the note will get reported at $42,500 in the Fallen's 2015 balance sheet.

C) Fallen's 2016 net income will get reduced by $3,500 (refer to journal entry 3) as any change in fair value will be reported as an adjustment to the net income for the respective year.

D) Since, the general market interest rates have been stable over the period and similar risk investment in the year 2016, the changes in fair value indicate that Fallen's creditworthiness has improved.

In order to find the future worth, F, from a present amount, P, 5 years from now at an interest rate of 6 % per year, compounded quarterly, what interest rate must be used in the F/P factor, (F/P,i%,n), when n is 20 quarters

Answers

Answer:

Interest rate = 1.5%

Explanation:

Given:

Future value = F

Present value = P

Number of Year (n) = 5 year × 4 quarters = 20

Interest rate = 6 % per year = 6 / 4 = 1.5% = 0.015

Computation:

Future value = Present value[tex](1+i)^n[/tex]

F/P = (1+0.015)²⁰

F/P = 1.34685501

When n = 20 quarters

F/P = (1+i)²⁰

1.34685501 = (1+i)²⁰

i = 0.015

Interest rate = 1.5%

ABC Company has the following authorized stock: Common stock: 1.00 par value, 100,000 shares On 1/11/15, ABC Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock for $5 per share (cash). How much cash does the company receive

Answers

Answer:

Amount of cash received = $50,000

Explanation:

The authorized share capital is the total maximum amount of shares in units that  a company can raised as contained in its memorandum of association.

The issued share capital is the proportion of the authorized share capital that a company has decided to offer to investors to raise capital.

The total amount of issued share capital raised would be equal to

Issued share capital = units issued × price per units

                                 = 10,000 × $5 = $50,000

Amount of cash received = $50,000

Based on the information given the amount that the company received is $50,000.

Using this formula

Cash received=Shares of common stock× Per share

Where:

Shares of common stock=10,000 shares

Per share=$5 per share

Let plug in the formula

Cash received=10,000×$5

Cash received=$50,000

Explanation:

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is a federal law which was made in response to the accounting scandals following the collapse of Worldcom and Enron.

Tropetech Inc. has an expected net operating profit after taxes, EBIT(1 – T), of $2,400 million in the coming year. In addition, the firm is expected to have net capital expenditures of $360 million, and net operating working capital (NOWC) is expected to increase by $45 million. How much free cash flow (FCF) is Tropetech Inc. expected to generate over the next year?

Answers

Answer:

FCF = $1,995 million

Explanation:

DATA

EBIT(1-T) = $2,400 million

Net Capital Expenditure = $360 million

Net operating working capital (NOWC) = $45 million

Free cash flow (FCF) expected to generate over next year can be calculated as

FCF = EBIT(1-T) - Capital Expenditure - Net operating working capital (NOWC)

FCF = $2,400 million - $360 million - $45million

FCF = $1,995 million

Answers

Answer:

$336,500

Explanation:

Grand River corporation has a taxable income of $500,000 in 20X3

They paid a federal income tax of $192,500

The amount of expense that was not added to the report is $3,000

The tax exempt income is $2,000

The deferred gain is $30,000

Therefore, the current earinings and profits of the corporation for the year 20X3 can be calculated as follows

= Taxable income-federal income taxes-expenses-tax exempt income+deferred gain

=$500,000-$192,500-$3,000+$2,000+$30,000

= $336,500

Hence the current earnings and profits for the corporation is $336,500

Answers

Answer:

2.00

Explanation:

Calculation of the debt to equity ratio

Using this formula

Debt to equity ratio= Total liabilities/Total Shareholders equity

Where,

Total liabilities=60,000

Total Shareholders equity =30,000

Let plug in the formula

Debt to equity ratio=60,000/30,000

Debt to equity ratio =2.00

Therefore debt to equity ratio will be 2.00

Answers

Answer:

So, the maximum price per share that should place is $62.5

Explanation:

As per given data

Current Price of stock = $50

Numbers of share = 200 shares

Limit of loss = $2,500

We will use the following formula to calculate the Maximum price of stock

Total Maximum loss possible = [ ( Prefix Price of share - Current price of share ) x Numbers of shares of stock ]

$2,500 = [ ( Prefix Price of share - $50 ) x 200 ]

$2500 / 200 = Prefix Price of share - $50

$12.5  + $50 = Prefix Price of share

$62.5 = Prefix Price of share

Therefore, thee order will be stopped at $62.50

42) Joe just inherited the family business, and having no desire to run the family business, he has decided to sell it to an entrepreneur. In exchange for the family business, Joe has been offered an immediate payment of $100,000. Joe will also receive payments of $50,000 in one year, $50,000 in two years, and $75,000 in three years. The current market rate of interest for Joe is 6%. In terms of present value (PV), how much will Joe receive for selling the family business? A) $$245,641 B) $254,641 C) $641,254 D) $254,461

Answers

Answer:

Total PV= $254,641.08

Option B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flows:

Cf0= $100,000

Cf1= 50,000

Cf2= 50,000

Cf3= 75,000

Interest rate= 6%

To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

Cf0= 100,000

Cf1= 50,000/1.06= 47,169.81

Cf2= 50,000/1.06^2= 44,499.82

Cf3= 75,000/1.06^3= 62,971.45

Total PV= $254,641.08

A corporation produces a single product and has the following cost structure
Number of units produced each year 7000
Variable costs per unit
Direct materials 51
Direct labor 12
Variable manufacturing overhead 2
Variable selling and administrative expense 5
Fixed costs per year
Fixed manufacturing overhead.. 441000
Fixed selling expense 112000
The absorption costing unit product cost is:______.
A) $149 per unit
B) $65 per unit
C) $63 per unit
D) $128 per unit

Answers

Answer:

D) $128 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the unit product cost using the absorption costing is shown below:

= Direct materials per unit + direct labor per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit + fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

= $51 + $12 + $2 + ($441,000 ÷ 7,000 units)

= $128

We simply added the direct material, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead per unit, and the fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

Brand managers know that increasing promotional budgets eventually result in diminishing returns. The first one million dollars typically results in a 26% increase in awareness, while the second million results in adding another 18% and the third million in a 5% increase. Andrews’s product Adam currently has an awareness level of 80% . While an important product for Andrews, Adam’s promotion budget will be reduced to one million dollars for the upcoming year. Assuming that Adam loses one-third of its awareness each year, what will Adam’s awareness level be next year?

Answers

Answer:

52.88%

Explanation:

The computation of the awareness level for next year is shown below

But before that we need to find out the ending awareness i.e Y which is

= 80% × (1 - 1 ÷ 3)

= 53.33%

Now awareness after the promotion is

= 53.33% + 26%

= 79.33%

Now the ending awareness i.e (Y +1)  is

= 79.33% × 2 ÷ 3

= 52.88%

Hence, the awareness level next year is 52.88%

If a company made a bank deposit on September 30 that did not appear on the bank statement dated September 30, in preparing the September 30 bank reconciliation, the company should:

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 'add the deposit to the end cash balance per bank statement'

Explanation:

The company made a deposit on the last day of September and this was not recorded by the bank i.e it will not be shown on the bank statement at September 30. The company had already recorded this deposit in the cash book at office. This means the bank statement is less this deposit amount.

To correct this anomaly, the deposit that was not recorded by the bank will be added to the end cash balance as per bank statement.

Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $2.33 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $2.00, $2.08, $2.15, and $2.26 per share in the last four years. If the stock currently sells for $55, what is your best estimate of the company's cost of equity capital using the arithmetic average growth rate in dividends?What if you use the geometric average growth rate?

Answers

Answer:

arithmetic average growth rate = (4% + 3.37% + 5.12% + 3.1%) / 4 = 3.9%

we need to find the required rate or return (RRR) in the following formula:

stock price = expected dividend / (RRR - growth rate)

expected dividend = $2.33 x 1.039 = $2.42stock price = $55growth rate = 0.039

55 = 2.42 / (RRR - 0.039)

RRR - 0.039 = 2.42 / 55 = 0.044

RRR = 0.083 = 8.3%

geometric average growth rate = [(1.04 x 1.0337 x 1.0512 x 1.031)¹/⁴] - 1 = 3.89%

again we need to find the required rate or return (RRR) in the following formula:

stock price = expected dividend / (RRR - growth rate)

expected dividend = $2.33 x 1.0389 = $2.42stock price = $55growth rate = 0.0389

55 = 2.42 / (RRR - 0.0389)

RRR - 0.0389 = 2.42 / 55 = 0.044

RRR = 0.0829 = 8.29%

What action can a supervisor take to reinforce the desired change and create a work environment that nourishes successful people?

Answers

Answer:

Communicate the reasons for the change.

Explanation:

Remember, reinforcement involves not necessarily employing harsh measures, but communicating with a view to persuade into action.

Since a supervisor is often seen as a head among his colleagues, he thus can exert influence on other employees by explaining the reasons and benefits for such change, doing so would steer employees into accepting the organisational change.

In Concord, Inc., the Assembly Department started 61000 units and completed 70700 units. If beginning work in process was 30800 units, how many units are in ending work in process?

Answers

Answer:

Closing inventory = 21,100 units

Explanation:

The closing working in progress represent the units of work at the end of the period for which are yet to be completed in the period.

It is the sum of the opening inventory and the units introduced less the completed units. This given below in mathematical terms

Closing inventory = Opening inventory + Newly added - completed units

                          = 30,800 + 61,000 - 70,700= 21,100

Closing inventory = 21,100 units
