Midwest Corporation has provided the following data concerning manufacturing overhead for 2020: Two jobs were worked on during the year: Job A-101 and Job A-102. The number of direct labor-hours spent on Job A-101 and Job A-102 were 1,360 and 4,200, respectively. The actual manufacturing overhead was $72,200. What is the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour for the year
Answer:
$16.00
Explanation:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity
therefore,
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = $32,320 ÷ 2,020
= $16.00
Applied overheads = Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate x Actual activity
therefore,
Applied overheads = $16.00 x 2,410 = $38,560
Conclusion :
Under-applied overheads = $72,200 - $38,560
= $33,640
the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour for the year is $16.00

Kelly Corporation acquires all of the assets and liabilities of Lawson Co. at an acquisition cost that is $50 million above the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Three months after the acquisition, it is determined that because of a downturn in the economy after the acquisition, acquired brand names with indefinite lives are worth $5,000,000 less than originally estimated. The entry to reflect this new information includes:
Answer: A. A credit to goodwill of $5,000,000
Explanation:
When a company is bought for more than the fair value of its identifiable net assets, the premium paid is called goodwill. If after the acquisition, it is discovered that one of the reasons for coming up with that goodwill is no longer viable, the goodwill can be reduced or impaired.
This is the case here. The brand names are worth less than they should so goodwill will have to be adjusted downwards to reflect that. As goodwill is an asset, reducing it would mean crediting it so goodwill should be credited by the $5,000,000 amount.
Lewis, Sadie and Warren are partners with the following capital balances and profit and loss percentages: Lewis: $120,000 (60%) Sadie: $ 60,000 (20%) Warren: $ 40,000 (20%) Sadie wishes to withdraw from the partnership and it is agreed that she will receive her current capital balance plus his share of any valuation adjustments associated with the fair value of the whole business being greater than book value. Assume that the fair value of the whole business is $100,000 greater than the book value. The bonus method is being used.
Required:
What will the balance of Warren’s capital account be after the withdrawal of Sadie?
Answer:
$35,000
Explanation:
Sadie will receive $60,000 + ($100,000 x 20%) = $80,000
Excess distribution = $80,000 - $60,000 = $20,000
This excess distribution will be distributed between Lewis and Warren:
Lewis = (60%/80%) x $20,000 = $15,000
Warren = (20%/80%) x $20,000 = $5,000
Warren's capital account = $40,000 - $5,000 = $35,000
JKL has 3 million shares of common stock outstanding and 80,000 bonds outstanding. The bonds pay semi-annual coupons at an annual rate of 9.05%, have 6 years to maturity and a face value of $1,000 each. The common stock currently sells for $30 a share and has a beta of 1. The bonds sell for 94% of face value and have a 10.42% yield to maturity. The market risk premium is 5.5%, T-bills are yielding 5% and the tax rate is 30%. What is the firm's capital structure weight for equity
Answer:
54.48%
Explanation:
The computation of the weight of equity is given below;
But before that we need to do the following calculations
Total Equity
= 3 million shares × $30
= $90 million
The Value of Debt,
Total Debt = 80,000 (1,000)(0.94)
= $75.2 million
Now the weight of equity is
= $90 million ÷ ($90 million + $75.2 million)
= 54.48%
A car dealership was trying to sell a used car that no one wanted. First, they tried to sell it for 10% off the marked price. Then they tried to sell it for 20% off the first sale price. Finally, they offered it for 25% off the second sale price, and someone bought it for $3,240. What was the original sale price?
Answer:
Original Sale Price = $6000
Explanation:
Lets say that the original Sale price is 100%. When the first discount is offered, the car is discounted by 10% and offered for 90% of the original price.
The second discount is offered as 20% off from the discounted sale price. Thus the car is now offered at,
Price after Second Discount = 90% * (1 - 20%) = 72% of the original price
Now the final discount is offered as further 25% off from the Second Discounted price which is already 72% of the original price. Thus the price after final discount will be,
Price after final discount = 72% * (1 - 25%) = 54% of the original price
We know the price after final discount is 54% of the original price and we are provided the amount as 3240. Thus if 54% of original price is 3240, then the original price will be,
Original Sale Price = 3240 * 100%/54%
Original Sale Price = $6000

a. We have assumed a simple world in which there are only two countries.
b. We have assumed the prices of resources and exchange rates in the two countries are dynamic.
c. We have assumed there are barriers to the movement of resources from the production of one good to another within the same country.
d. We have assumed that agrarian nations do not specialize in producing fertilizers.
e. We have assumed diminishing returns to specialization.
"Phillips Equipment has 80,000 bonds outstanding that are selling at par. Face value of the bonds is $1000. Bonds with similar characteristics are yielding 7.5%. The company also has 750,000 shares of 7% preferred stock (stated value=$100) and 2.5 million shares of common stock outstanding. The preferred stock sells for $65 a share. The common stock has a beta of 1.34 and sells for $42 a share. The U.S. Treasury bill is yielding 2.8% and the return on the market is 11.2%. The corporate tax rate is 38%. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital?"
Answer:
9.27 %
Explanation:
weighted average cost of capital = Cost of equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock
therefore,
weighted average cost of capital = 14,056 % x 44.92 %+ 4.65 % x 32.25% + 7.00 % x 20.86%
= 9.27 %
where,
cost of equity = risk free rate + beta x market premium
= 14.056%

The shareholders' equity of Green Corporation includes $200,000 of $1 par common stock and $400,000 of 6% cumulative preferred stock. The board of directors of Green declared cash dividends of $60,000 in 2011 after paying $20,000 cash dividends in each of 2010 and 2009. What is the amount of dividends common shareholders will receive in 2011?
a. 28000
b. 30000
c. 50000
d. 25000
Answer:
Option a (28000) is the right option.
Explanation:
Given:
Preferred stock,
= $400,000
In year 2009 and 2010, the dividends paid,
= $20,000 each year
Dividends declared,
= $60,000
Now,
The preferred dividend per year will be:
= [tex]Preferred \ stock\times 6 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]400000\times 6 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]24,000[/tex] ($)
Arrears in preferred dividend per year will be:
= [tex]24000-20000[/tex]
= [tex]4000[/tex] ($)
For preferred stock, the total dividends arrears will be,
= [tex]4000\times 2[/tex]
= [tex]8000[/tex] ($)
hence,
The dividends which are received by the common stock holders will be:
= [tex]Dividends \ declared-Preferred \ dividend-Arrears \ in \ preferred \ dividend[/tex]
By putting the values, we get
= [tex]60000-24000-8000[/tex]
= [tex]28000[/tex]

A two-year bond with par value $1,000 making annual coupon payments of $80 is priced at $1,000.What will be the realized compound return if the one-year interest rate next year turns out to be 6%?
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what will be the realized compound
First step is to calculate the new price
Using this formula
New price of the bond = PV of the final coupon payment + PV of the maturity amount.
Let plug in the formula
New price of the bond=80/1+r+1,000/1+r
Where,
r represent the yield to maturity
Second step is to Substitute 0.06 for r in the above equation
New price of the bond =80/1+0.06+1000/1+0.06
New price of the bond=1080/1.06
New price of the bond=1018.87
Now let Calculate the rate of return of the bond
Using this formula
Rate of return=Coupon+New price-old price/Initial price
Let plug in the formula
Rate of return=$80+1018.87-1000/1000
Rate of return=98.87/1000
Rate of return=0.09887*100
Rate of return= 9.887%
Rate of return=10% Appropriately
Therefore what will be the realized compound is 10%

There are two primary means to earn income as a stockholder. The first method is dividend income and the second method is earnings from capital gains. With respect to the investor seeking dividend income, when the investor buys a stock from a corporation with a primary focus to earn dividend income they will typically expect a higher dividend on common stock versus preferred stock. Discuss the dividend payment requirements of a common stock versus preferred stock, in terms of which type of stock has a primary claim on dividend distributions. Explain why the common stock investor demands a higher dividend rate.
Answer:
1. Dividend Payment Requirements:
a. Common stock dividend rates are not fixed, unlike the preferred stock dividends. They are not cumulative like cumulative preferred stock. They are only paid when the directors declare them.
b. Preferred stockholders usually have a fixed rate of dividend. They have preference over common stockholders in dividend payments. Some preferred stockholders enjoy cumulative dividends, unlike common stockholders.
2. Common stockholders expect higher dividends than the preferred stockholders because they bear the residual business risks associated with the company.
Explanation:
Dividend income results when management declares it to be paid to the stockholders. They are usually paid out of earned income. The discretion to declare dividends lies solely with management. On the other hand, stockholders can decide to take advantage of the movements in stock prices at the stock exchange by earning capital gains through selling their shares. This income is not at the discretion of management insofar as the entity is being run profitably.
Between a preferred stock and a common stock, a preferred stock has a primary claim on dividend distributions.
Common stock investors demand a higher dividend rate because their dividend income is variable when compared to with preferred stocks.
What are common stocks and preferred stocks?Common stocks are stocks that gives its holders ownership rights in the company. Common stock holders are paid dividends when declared.
Preferred stock are hybrid financial instrument. They are a cross between bonds and stocks. Preferred stock holders received fixed dividend payment.

Martha and Oleg are competitors in a local market and each is trying to decide if it is worthwhile to advertise. If both of them advertise, each will earn a profit of $5,000. If neither of them advertise, each will earn a profit of $10,000. If one advertises and the other doesn't, then the one who advertises will earn a profit of $8,000 and the other will earn $7,000. What is Martha's dominant strategy
Answer: Martha does not have a dominant strategy
Explanation:
A dominant strategy is one that a player can embark on and get the highest payoff regardless of the actions of their competitor.
In this scenario, there is no strategy that Martha can embark on that would provide the greatest payout regardless of Oleg's decision. If Martha advertises, Oleg makes the same amount advertising as well. If Martha does not advertise, Oleg would decide not to advertise as well and make the same amount.
Martha therefore has no dominant strategy as Oleg would make the same amount regardless of which decision is taken.

= $15,000 + ($10,000 × 50%)
= $20,000
In this way each partners basis should represent their interest in the partnership
The same is to be considered
12-3. (Break-even point and selling price) Simple Metal Works, Inc. will manufacture and sell 300,000 units next year. Fixed costs will total $350,000, and variable costs will be 65 percent of sales. The firm wants to achieve a level of earnings before interest and taxes of $250,000. What selling price per unit is necessary to achieve this result
Answer:
Selling price= $5.08
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 300,000
Fixed costs= $350,000
Desired profit= $250,000
Variable cost rate= 0.65
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin using the break-even point formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
300,000 = (350,000 + 250,000) / contribution margin per unit
300,000 contribution margin per unit = 600,000
contribution margin per unit= 600,000/300,000
contribution margin per unit= $2
If the variable cost rate is 0.65, then:
Unitary varaible cost= 2/0.65= $3.08
Selling price= contribution margin per unit - unitary varaible cost
Selling price= 2 - (-3.08)
Selling price= $5.08
Luke enters into a three-year interest rate swap to receive a fixed rate and pay a variable rate based on future 1-year LIBOR rates. The settlement occurs at the end of every year. The notional amount is 1,000 for year 1, 800 for year 2, and 600 for year 3. tt stst 1 4% 2 5% 3 6% 4 7% 5 8% Determine the net swap payment made at the end of the first year.
Answer:
The net swap payment made is $49.
Explanation:
In order to find the solution the values are used which are as follows:
The Value of interest in each year is calcuated as follows
[tex]Interest=Interest\ Rate\%\times Amount[/tex]
The values of interest rate and amount for 3 years are as follows:
Interest rate for year 1 is 4% for an amount of 1000Interest rate for year 2 is 5% for the amount of 1800Interest rate for the year 3 is 6% for the amount of 800.These values are calculated as follows:
[tex]Interest_1=4\%\times 1000\\Interest_1=40[/tex]
Similarly
[tex]Interest_2=5\%\times 1800\\Interest_2=90[/tex]
Also
[tex]Interest_3=6\%\times 800\\Interest_3=48[/tex]
So the total interest is
[tex]Interest_T=Interest_1+Interest_2+Interest_3\\Interest_T=40+90+48\\Interest_T=178[/tex]
The total amount is given as
[tex]Amount_T=Amount_1+Amount_2+Amount_3\\Amount_T=1000+1800+800\\Amount_T=3600[/tex]
Fixed rate is given as
[tex]\dfrac{Interest_T}{Amount_T}\\=\dfrac{178}{3600}\\\\=0.049\ or\ 4.9\%[/tex]
Now for the swap payment made at the end of first year is
[tex]Amount_{1st swap}=Fixed Rate\times Amount_1\\Amount_{1st swap}=4.9\%\times 1000\\Amount_{1st swap}=$49[/tex]
