Answer:
The appropriate solution is "$130,000".
Explanation:
The given values are:
No. of common shares outstanding
= 50,000
Dividend per share
= $1.80
No. of preferred shares outstanding
= 8,000
Dividend per share
= $5
Now,
The total dividend on common shares will be:
= [tex]No. \ of \ common \ shared \ outstanding\times Dividend \ per \ share[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]50,000\times 1.80[/tex]
= [tex]90,000[/tex] ($)
The total dividend on preferred stock will be:
= [tex]No. \ of \ preferred \ shares \ outstanding\times Divided \ per \ share[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]8,000\times 5[/tex]
= [tex]40,000[/tex] ($)
Hence,
The total dividend paid by company will be:
= [tex]Total \ dividend \ on \ common \ shares +Total \ dividend \ on \ preferred \ stock[/tex]
= [tex]90,000+40,000[/tex]
= [tex]130,000[/tex] ($)
Thus the above is the correct answer.
Your job pays you only once a year for all the work you did over the previous 12 months. Today, December 31, you just received your salary of $58,000 and you plan to spend all of it. However, you want to start saving for retirement beginning next year. You have decided that one year from today you will begin depositing 3 percent of your annual salary in an account that will earn 11 percent per year. Your salary will increase at 6 percent per year throughout your career.
Required: How much money will you have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today?
Answer:
The amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the formula for calculating the future value of growing annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n) / (r - g)) ...................................... (1)
Where
FV = Future value or the amount on the date of retirement = ?
M = First annual deposit = Annual salary * Deposit percentage = $58,000 * 3% = $1,740
r = annual interest rate = 11%, or 0.11
g = salary growth rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of years = 40 years
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,740 * (((1 + 0.11)^40 - (1 + 0.06)^40) / (0.11 - 0.06))
FV = $1,740 * 1,094.30298736951
FV = $1,904,087.20
Therefore, the amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.
Wesson Company uses the allowance method to record its expected credit losses. It estimates its losses at one percent of credit sales, which were $750,000 during the year. The Accounts Receivable balance was $220,000 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $1,000 at year-end. What amount is the debit to the Bad Debts Expense
Answer: $7,500
Explanation:
The Bad Debt expense is the amount that might not be paid by the account receivables of a company.
It is calculated by the formula:
= Credit sales * Estimated losses
= 750,000 * 1%
= $7,500
Imagine a hypothetical economy with a population of 100 people, 80 of which over sixteen. Forty eight of these people who are working and twelve people who are willing, able and looking for work cannot find jobs. The unemployment rate in this economy is____________ % (enter percentage as a whole number, not a decimal, no percentage sign). S
Suppose that 10 of those unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work. Now, the unemployment rate is __________% (enter percentage as a whole number, not a decimal, no percentage sign).
Answer:
a) unemployment rate = 15
b) unemployment rate = 2.5
Explanation:
unemployed people are those who are willing and available to work and have actively been seeking a job in the past four weeks. This accurately describes the 12 people who are willing, able and looking for work but cannot find jobs. To calculate the unemployment rate in percentage, the following formula is used:
[tex]unemployment\ rate = \frac{number\ of\ unemployed}{labour\ force} \times 100\\[/tex]
Where:
a) Number of unemployed = 12
Labour force = 80 (number of people over 16 years of age)
[tex]\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{12}{80} \times 100 = 0.15 \times 100 = 15\\[/tex]
b) if 10 of the unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work, the number of unemployed becomes 2 persons, (12 - 10 = 2).
[tex]\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{2}{80} \times 100 = \frac{200}{80} = 2.5[/tex]

Answer:
Production= 455,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning Inventory= 81,000
Ending Inventory= 51,000
Sales= 485,000
To calculate the production required for the period, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 485,000 + 51,000 - 81,000
Production= 455,000 units

(d) Current Ratio = 1.86 times
(e) Account Receivables Turnover Ratio = 16.74 times
(f) Average collection period = 21.8 days
(g) Inventory Turnover = 8.47 times
(h) Days in inventory = 43.09 days
(i) Times interest earned = 14.69 times
(j) Asset turnover = 1.96 times
(k) Debt to assets ratio = 41.24%
(l) Free cash flow = $24,952
Explanation:
(a) Earnings per share
Net income = $248,808
Beginning number of shares = Beginning Common stock / Par value = $354,000 / $5 = 70,800
Ending number of shares = Ending Common stock / Par value = $342,200 / $5 = = 68,440
Average Number of Shares Outstanding = (Beginning number of shares + Ending number of shares) / 2 = (68,440 + 70,800) / 2 = 69,620
Earning Per Shares = Net Income/ Average Number of Shares Outstanding = $248,808 / 69,620 = $3.57
(b) Return on common stockholders’ equity
Average Stockholders Equity = (Beginning Stockholders Equity + Ending Stockholders Equity) / 2 = ($549,172 + $712,012) / 2 = $630,592
Return on Stockholders Equity = Net Income / Average Stockholders Equity = $248,808 / $630,592 = 0.3946, or 39.46%
(c) Return on assets
Average total assets = (Ending total assets + Beginning total assets) / 2 = ($1,211,742 + 1,006,304) / 2 = $1,109,023
Return On Assets = Net Income / Average total assets = $248,808 / $1,109,023 = 0.2243, or 22.43%
(d) Current ratio
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities = $445,922 / $240,130 = 1.86 times
(e) Accounts receivable turnover
Average Account Receivables = (Beginning Account Receivables + Ending Account Receivables) / 2 = ($139,004 + $121,304) / 2 = $130,154
Account Receivables Turnover Ratio = Sales / Average Account Receivables = $2,178,400 / $130,154 = 16.74 times
(f) Average collection period
Average collection period = 365 / Account Receivables turnover ratio = 365 days /16.74 = 21.8 days
(g) Inventory turnover
Average Inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2 = ($148,680 + $136,290) / 2 = $142,485
Inventory Turnover = Cost of goods sold / average inventory = $1,207,000 / $142,485 = 8.47 times
(h) Days in inventory
Days in inventory = 365/ inventory turnover ratio = 365 days / 8.47 = 43.09 days
(i) Times interest earned
Times Interest Earned = Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization / Interest expenses = Income from operations / Interest expenses = $381,400 / $25,960 = 14.69 times
(j) Asset turnover
Asset turnover = Net sales / Average total assets = 2,178,400 / $1,109,023 = 1.96 times
(k) Debt to assets ratio
Debt to Asset Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets = $499,730 / $1,211,742 = 0.4124, or 41.24%
(l) Free cash flow
Free cash flow = Net cash provided by operating activities - Capital expenditures - Cash dividends = $259,600- $160,480 - $74,168 = $24,952
The auto repair shop of Quality Motor Company uses standards to control the labor time and labor cost in the shop.The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below:
Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost
Motor tune-up 2.50 $35.00 $87.50
The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 60 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups:
Labor rate variance $ 50 F
Labor spending variance $ 55 U
Required:
1. Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week.
2. Determine the actual hourly rate of pay for tune-ups last week.
Answer:
Actual Quantity= 151.57
Actual Rate= $3.17
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard Hours 2.50
Standard Rate $35.00
Standard Cost $87.50
Number of tune-ups= 60
Labor rate variance $ 50 F
Labor spending variance $ 55 U
First, we need to calculate the actual number of hours. We need to use the direct labor efficiency variance:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
-55 = (60*2.5 - Actual Quantity)*35
-55 = 5,250 - 35Actual Quantity
35Actual Quantity = 5,305
Actual Quantity= 151.57
Now, the actual hourly rate. We need to use the direct labor rate variance formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
50 = (3.5 - Actual Rate)*151.57
50= 530.5 - 151.57Actual Rate
151.57Actual Rate= 480.5
Actual Rate= $3.17

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years. b. We must have information on the cost of capital in order to determine which project has the larger early cash flows. c. The crossover rate, i.e., the rate at which Projects A and B have the same NPV, is greater than either project's IRR. d. The NPV profile graph is inconsistent with the statement made in the problem. e. More of Project B's cash flows occur in the later years.
Answer: a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years.
Explanation:
When a project has its cashflows occurring in later years, the NPV will be less because the discount rate would have a greater period to discount it in as opposed to cashflows that occur more recently which would receive less discounting from the discount rate.
As a result of Project A having more distant cashflows, the discount rate discounted its cash flows more which is why higher rates led to its NPV being zero because those higher rates got to discount it over a longer period.
Ace Products has a bond issue outstanding with 15 years remaining to maturity, a coupon rate of 8% with semiannual payments of $40, and a par value of $1,000. The price of each bond in the issue is $1,196.00. The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,080. What is the bond's current yield
Answer:
6.69%
Explanation:
Price of Ace products bond issue = $1,196
Annual coupon payment = $80
Current yield = Annual coupon payment / Bond price
Current yield = $80/$1,196
Current yield = 0.0668896
Current yield = 6.69%
The Bassos contracted with Dierberg to purchase her property for $1,310,000. One term of the contract stated, "[t]he sale under this contract shall be closed . . . at the office of Community Title Company. . . on May 16, 1988 at 10:00 am. . . . Time is of the essence of this contract." After forming the contract, the Bassos assigned their right to purchase Dierberg’s property to Miceli and Slonim Development Corp. At 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, Dierberg appeared at Community Title for closing. No representative of Miceli and Slonim was there, nor did anyone from Miceli and Slonim inform Dierberg that there would be any delay in the closing. At 10:20 am, Dierberg declared the contract null and void because the closing did not take place as agreed, and she left the title company office shortly thereafter. Dierberg had intended to use the purchase money to close another contract to purchase real estate later in the day. At about 10:30 AM, a representative of Miceli and Slonim appeared at Community Title to begin the closing, but the representative did not have the funds for payment until 1 :30 PM. Dierberg refused to return to the title company, stating that Miceli and Slonim had breached the contract by failing to tender payment on time. She had already made alternative arrangements to finance her purchase of other real estate to meet her obligation under that contract. Miceli and Slonim sued Dierberg, claiming that the contract did not require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, but rather some time on the day of May 16. Will they prevail?
Answer:
Certainly, they cannot prevail. The contract terms stated clearly that "time is of the essence of this contract." The Bassos and Miceli and Slonim Development Corp did not actually respect this contract term.
The contract was expected to have closed at 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, and not after. By the time that Dierberg left the venue, the contract should have been finalized. Alternatively, if there were unseen delays, Dierberg should have been informed at least 30 minutes before 10:00 am.
Explanation:
The argument by Miceli and Slonim does not hold water. The contract did require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, and not some time on May 16. In my considered opinion, suing Dierberg is a waste of court time and process.

You are the VP of Marketing at Stauffer Foods and you learn that the puddings packaged desserts line from General Foods (GF) is available for acquisition. This division produces successful products like Pudding Pops, Instant Pudding, and Pudding in a Cup. You make some of assumptions about this line. Which assumption would you not make
Answer: purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods
Explanation:
The options include:
a. purchasing the line would bring established distribution for Stauffer Foods.
b. purchasing the line would add equity value to Stauffer Foods.
c. All would be reasonable assumptions to make.
d. purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods
e. purchasing the line could create some difficulties in dealing with debt load.
The assumption that shouldn't be made is that purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods.
When a product is acquired, one should not expect immediate profit or cash flow instantly. Purchasing the line would not bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods because it's a gradual process even though there may eventually be cash flow and profit in the long run.
All the other options that re given are correct, therefore the correct option is D.
When Valley Co. acquired 80% of the common stock of Coleman Corp., Coleman owned land with a book value of $75,000 and a fair value of $125,000. What is the amount of excess land allocation attributed to the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
The amount of excess land allocation attributed to the non controlling interest at the acquisition date is computed below;
Non controlling interest of acquisition date
= (Book value of land - Fair value of land) × 20%
Given that;
Book value of land = $125,000
Fair value of land = $75,000
Then,
Non controlling interest of acquisition date
= ($125,000 - $75,000) × 20%
= $50,000 × 20%
= $10,000
Assume that a state government currently provides no child-care subsidies to working single parents, but it now wants to adopt a plan that will encourage labor force participation among single parents. Suppose that child-care costs are hourly, and suppose the government adopts a child-care subsidy that pays $3 per hour for each hour the parent works, up to 8 hours per day. Draw a current budget constraint (net of child-care costs) for an assumed single mother and then draw in the new constraint. Discuss the likely effects on labor force participation and hours of work.
Answer:
The line on the graph will be parallel to the pre-subsidy line and the new constraint will then be equal to the points connecting the two lines.
Explanation:
The subsidy by government to single parents is $3 per hour for up to 8 hours. The total of subsidy will be $16 for each day. The labor force who were not receiving the subsidy before had steep indifference curve but now few workers will find utility maximization with flatter indifference curve so the workers will join the subsidy program.
g Sunk costs are: Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button. Answer choices extra costs associated with one more unit of something. financial costs any costs associated with making the decision to do something instead of doing the next best alternative. costs that have been incurred and cannot be reversed
Answer:
costs that have been incurred and cannot be reversed.
Explanation:
Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.
Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.
Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.
Hence, sunk costs are costs that have been incurred and cannot be reversed.
For example, ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.

Which of the following statements about annuities are true? Check all that apply. An ordinary annuity of equal time earns less interest than an annuity due. Annuities are structured to provide fixed payments for a fixed period of time. When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as ordinary annuities. When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as an annuity due.
Answer:
The true statements are:
Annuities are structured to provide fixed payments for a fixed period of time.
When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as an annuity due.
Explanation:
Annuities provide fixed payments for a lifetime or a specified period of time. With equal payments at the beginning of each period for a fixed period of time, the annuity is regarded as an annuity due. But with equal payments at the end of the period, it is an ordinary annuity. A common example of annuity due is payment for Rent at the beginning of the month or year. If the Rent is paid at the end of the month or year, it is an ordinary annuity.
A callable bond:
A. Is generally call protected during the entire term of the bond issue,
B. generally will have a call protection period during the final three years prior to maturity.
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
D. is prohibited from having a sinking fund also.
E. Is frequently called at a price that is less than par value
Answer:
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
Explanation:
A callable bond is also called a redeemable bond. It a debt instrument that the issuer may decide to call or redeem before the maturity date.
This is used by bond issuers to have a cheaper cost of borrowing funds.
For example when interests are low the issuer can buy back his bonds at a lower cost this reducing his debt burden.
So callable bonds are structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call or redemption.
Cynthia, a sole proprietor, was engaged in a service business and reported her income on the cash basis. On February 1, 2013, she incorporates her business as Dove Corporation and transfers the assets of the business to the corporation in return for all of the stock in addition to the corporation’s assumption of her proprietorship’s liabilities. All of the receivables and the unpaid trade payables are transferred to the newly formed corporation. The balance sheet of the corporation immediately after its formation is as follows:

Discuss the tax consequences of the incorporation of the business to Cynthia and to Dove Corporation.
Answer:
Cynthia and Dove CorporationAny profits generated by Dove Corporation will be taxed to the corporation and also taxed to Cynthia as a shareholder whenever Dove distributes the profits as dividends. Taxing Dove and Cynthia creates a double taxation burden for both Dove and Cynthia. Dove Corporation does not get a tax deduction when it distributes dividends to Cynthia. Furthermore, Cynthia cannot deduct any corporation loss when incurred. These are unlike when the business was only a sole proprietorship.

A truck was acquired on July 1, 2018, at a cost of $311,850. The truck had a six-year useful life and an estimated salvage value of $34,650. The straight-line method of depreciation was used. On January 1, 2021, the truck was overhauled at a cost of $28,875, which extended the useful life of the truck for an additional two years beyond that originally estimated (salvage value is still estimated at $34,650). In computing depreciation for annual adjustment purposes, expense is calculated for each month the asset is owned.
