Nancy, the owner of a very successful hotel chain in the Southeast, is exploring the possibility of expanding the chain into a city in the Northeast. She incurs $35,000 of expenses associated with this investigation. Based on the regulatory environment for hotels in the city, she decides not to expand. During the year, she also investigates opening a restaurant that will be part of a national restaurant chain. Her expenses for this are $53,000. The restaurant begins operations on September 1.
Determine the amount Nancy can deduct in the current year for investigating these two businesses.
Answer:
$3,133.
As regard to opening a restaurant, investigation expense = 53,000 - 2000 = $51,000.
Explanation:
Before diving straight into the solution to this problem, let's take out some of the parameters given in the question above.
=> Nancy incurs $35,000 of expenses associated with the investigation of the possibility of expanding the chain into a city in the Northeast.
=> Nancy expenses for investigates opening a restaurant that will be part of a national restaurant chain are $53,000.
The first thing to do right now is to determine the value for the investigation as regard to the opening of a restaurant = [ 2000 × (51,000/180 months) × 4] = $3,133.
The next thing is to determine the value for the deduction which is available. This can be done below as:
The amount Nancy can deduct in the current year for investigating these two businesses = 5000 - [ 53000 - 50000] = $2, 000
As regard to opening a restaurant, investigation expense = 53,000 - 2000 = $51,000.

QS 8-7 Computing revised depreciation LO C2 On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,200 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for five years and after five years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. Matthews Band uses straight-line depreciation but realizes at the start of the second year that this equipment will last only a total of three years. The salvage value is not changed. Compute the revised depreciation for both the second and third years.
Answer:
$25,280 per year
Explanation:
The computation of the revised depreciation for both the second and third years is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
Depreciation for year 1 = [Cost – Salvage Value] ÷Useful Life
= [$65,200 - 2,000] ÷ 5 Years
= $12,640
Now Book Value at point of revision is
= Cost - First year depreciation
= $65,200 - $12,640
= $52,560
Now
Remaining Depreciable Cost = Book Value at the point of revision - Salvage Value
= $52,560 – 2,000
= $50,560
And, finally Depreciation per year for Year 2 and 3 is
= Depreciable cost / Remaining useful life
= $50,560 ÷ 2 Year
= $25,280 per year
Trendy Toes produces sports socks. The company has fixed expenses of $85,000 and variable expenses of $1.20 per package. Each package sells for $2.00.
Requirements:
1. Compute the contribution margin per package and the contribution margin ratio.
2. Find the breakeven point in units and in dollars.
3. Find the number of packages Trendy Toes needs to sell to earn a $26,000 operating income.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the contribution margin and contribution margin ratio we need to use the following formulas:
contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
contribution margin= 2 - 1.2= 0.8
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin / selling price
contribution margin ratio= 0.8 / 2
contribution margin ratio= 0.4
Now, we can calculate the break-even point in units and dollars:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 85,000 / 0.8
Break-even point in units= 106,250
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 85,000 / 0.4
Break-even point (dollars)= $212,500
Finally, the desired profit is $26,000:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 111,000 / 0.8
Break-even point in units= 138,750
LUVFINANCE, Inc. is estimating its WACC. It is operating at its optimal capital structure. Its outstanding bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 17 years, and sell for $1,162. It has 100,000 bonds outstanding. The firm can issue new 20-year maturity semiannual bonds at par but will incur flotation costs of $50 per bond. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock that pays a 12 percent annual dividend that is currently selling for $120. The firm currently has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Rollins' beta is 0.94, the risk-free rate is 3.72 percent, and the market risk premium is 6 percent. The common stock currently sells for $100 a share and there are 5,000,000 shares outstanding. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
Required:
What is the WACC?
Solution :
Given :
The cost of the debt is yield to the maturity of the bonds.
The yield on the bond is 10%
The tax rate is 40%
After the tax cost of the debt = 10 ( 1- 0.4 )
= 6 %
Add floatation cost at the rate of 5% = 11%
Cost of the preferred stock = [tex]$\frac{\text{dividend}}{\text{price}}$[/tex]
= [tex]$\frac{120}{12}$[/tex] = 10%
The cost of equity = risk free rate + β x market risk premium
= 3.72 + 0.94 x 6
= 9.36%
WACC is weighted average of the individual securities :
Particulars Value per No. of Market value Weight Cost of Product

Sandhill Corporation was organized on January 1, 2019. During its first year, the corporation issued 1,900 shares of $50 par value preferred stock and 109,000 shares of $10 par value common stock. At December 31, the company declared the following cash dividends: 2019, $5,950; 2020, $13,800; and 2021, $28,000. (a) Show the allocation of dividends to each class of stock, assuming the preferred stock dividend is 7% and noncumulative.
Answer:
Sandhill Corporation
Allocation of dividends to each class of stock:
Year Total Dividends Preferred Stock Common Stock
2019 $5,950 $5,950 $0
2020 $13,800 $6,650 $7,150
2021 $28,000 $6,650 $21,350
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
7% Preferred stock, $50 par value: Issued 1,900 = $95,000
Common stock, $10 par value: Issued 109,000 = $1,090,000
Dividends declared at December 31:
Year Dividends 7% Preferred Common Stock
2019 = $5,950 $6,650 Paid $5,950 $0
2020 = $13,800 $6,650 Paid $6,650 $7,150
2021 = $28,000 $6,650 Paid $6,550 $21,350
b) The preferred stock dividend is fixed at 7% of $95,000 yearly. Since it is noncumulative, the 2019 dividend will be limited to the dividends declared. For other years, the dividend for the preferred stock is fixed at $6,650 annually. Whatever remains after paying the preferred dividends is paid to the common stockholders.

Farmer Owens has an apple orchard that must be pollinated by bees in order to bear fruit. Farmer Owens's neighbor, Maude, owns beehives with bees that can pollinate the apple trees. Suppose the benefit of the bees to Farmer Owens is $ per year. Suppose the bees provide no benefit to Maude but she must pay $ per year to maintain the hives. If Farmer Owens and Maude engage in Coase bargaining, what would likely result?
Answer: A. Farmer Owens would pay Maude between $3,000 and $5,000 to maintain the hives.
Explanation:
Coarse bargaining refers to a scenario where parties involved in a conflict over property rights can reach an efficient agreement that would reflect the costs and values of the property in question.
In this scenario, Farmer Owens is making a benefit of $5,000. Owens would therefore be willing to pay a maximum of $5,000 for the benefit and no more.
Maude spends $3,000 on the hives which means that she needs a minimum of $3,000 to cover those costs.
They should therefore reach an agreement where Farmer Owens would pay between $3,000 and $5,000 to Maude so that she can maintain the hives.
describe the advantages and disadvantages of using a certificate of deposit (cd) to save money.
Explanation:
Advantages of a CD
Flexible Terms: The terms and the amounts that can be deposited into a CD are flexible. If you are not willing to tie up your money for a long time, you can easily opt for a shorter term. At the end of a CD term, you can renew that CD or start a new one.
Safety: CDs that are available from a federally insured institution are generally insured up to $250,000. This takes much of the risk out of the investment.
Better Return Than Saving Accounts: Since the CD holder is not allowed to withdraw money freely like savings account holders, a CD is often more valuable to the financial institution. For this reason, the interest rate offered to a CD holder is higher than a traditional savings account.
Wide Selection: You can get a CD at various maturities and terms from different financial institutions. Because of the diversity of CDs, investors can find a CD that meets their individual needs.
Fixed, Predictable Return: The investor can be sure about getting a specific yield at a specific time. Even if the interest rates come down to a broader economy, the CD rate will remain constant. You will be able to easily determine the rate at which your balance will grow, thus making financial planning easy.
Disadvantages of a CD
Limited Liquidity: The owner of a CD cannot access their money as easily as a traditional savings account. To withdrawal money from a CD before the end of the term requires that a penalty has to be paid. This penalty can be in the form of lost interest or a principal penalty. To increase flexibility, the investor can create a CD Ladder, which is composed of CDs with different maturity dates and terms. With a laddering strategy, you have more options to access your CD savings at different intervals of time.
Inflation Risk: CD rates may be lower than the rate of inflation. This means that your money may lose its purchasing power over time if interest gains are outdone by inflation rates.
With these advantages and disadvantages in mind, it is wise to consider that CD advantages usually outweigh the disadvantages. CDs allow you to grow your savings without hassle. You can easily compare different types of CDs with the help of online resources, and you can find one that best suits your needs.
Summary of Certificates of Deposits
Certificates of Deposit (CD) are useful for people looking for a way to save money while earning a relatively high interest. This not only helps you save money, but also earns you interest without requiring any effort on your part. The disadvantages of CD’s are minor and typically outweighed by their

An additional 310,300 units were transferred in from the prior department during the month to begin processing in the Assembly Department. There were 30,300 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Assembly Department. How many units were transferred to the next processing department during the month
Answer:
305,300 units
Explanation:
The computation of the number of units that should be transferred to the next processing department is given below:
As we know that
Opening inventory +Transferred in inventory = Transferred out inventory + ending inventory
25,300 units + 310,300 units = Transferred out inventory + 30,300 units
So, the Transferred out inventory is
= 25,300 units + 310,300 units - 30,300 units
= 305,300 units
If the efficient market hypothesis is correct, then a. index funds should typically beat managed funds, and usually do. b. index fund should typically beat managed funds, but usually do not. c. mutual funds should typically beat index funds, and usually do. d. mutual funds should typically beat index funds, but usually do no
Answer:
a. index funds should typically beat managed funds, and usually do.
Explanation:
The efficient market hypothesis is also known as efficient market theory. In financial economics, it is a hypothesis which states that the prices of the assets reflect all the available information. It hypothesizes that the stocks trade at the fair market value on the exchanges. When the efficient market hypothesis is correct, the stock market is informationally efficient and also the index fund usually beat the managed funds.
Answer the below case problem, giving the legal issue, the governing law and the rationale in support of your conclusion.
Arthur Jensen, Inc., was a corporation engaged in the housing construction business.
Arthur Jensen set up and was the sole owner and president of the corporation. Alaska Valuation Service [AVS] conducted housing appraisals for Jensen on numerous occasions over the years. When AVS took the orders for appraisals, it was not aware that it was dealing with a corporation. It believed that it was dealing directly with Jensen [i.e., as a sole proprietor]. Jensen never specifically informed AVS of his status as the president of Arthur Jensen, Inc. When AVS was not paid for appraisal services that it had performed, AVS sued Arthur Jensen, attempting to hold him personally liable for the unpaid appraisals.
Arthur Jensen argued that he could not be personally liable because he had acted on behalf of his corporation.
1. Decide the case based on the above stated facts.
2. Assuming Arthur Jensen could be held personally liable, how could Arthur
Jensen have better protected himself? [we discussed this in class]
Answer:
1. Decide the case based on the above stated facts.
Corporations provide limited liability to their owners, and one person corporations are legal in all states. Depending on how Arthur handled his business, the corporate veil might or not be lifted. If he separated the corporate account and managed the corporation separately for his other assets, then he is not liable.
On the other hand, if he paid the bills using his personal account, or used the corporation's assets as his own, then the outcome might change. We are not given enough details.
2. Assuming Arthur Jensen could be held personally liable, how could Arthur Jensen have better protected himself?
Simple, he should sign as the president of the corporation and pay using the corporation's account.

How have technological Innovations Increased risks in business organizations!
Answer:
Businesses are more susceptible to information leakages as a result of technological inventions.
They also have to spend more money in the purchase of technologies that might be expensive to maintain.
Explanation:
1. Business organizations carry out a lot of activities that center on information sharing. The advent of technologies comes with risks from hackers who might want to intrude in the information of the company. When the system is compromised, customers can be disappointed and important and sensitive information may be lost to attackers or competing organizations that might fund such attacks. This will impose an information risk to the company.
2. The purchase of new technologies come at a high price. Personnel conversant with the use and operation of these technologies may be hard to find and might require training to be effective in the use of these machines. These machines can easily fall into disuse when they are not properly maintained. This will impose a financial risk to the company.
Answer:
Businesses are more susceptible to information leakages as a result of technological inventions.
They also have to spend more money in the purchase of technologies that might be expensive to maintain.

What are the benefits of multiple marketing channels? Are there any disadvantages?
Nadine Chelesvig has patented her invention. She is offering a patent manufacturer two contracts for the exclusive right to manufacture and market her product. Plan A calls for an immediate single lump payment to her of $35,000. Plan B calls for an annual payment of $1,200 plus a royalty of $0.40 per unit sold. The remaining life of the patent is 10 years. Nadine uses a MARR of 7 %/year.
a. What must be the uniform annual sales volume of the product for Nadine to be indifferent between the contracts, based on a present worth analysis?
b. If the sales volume is below the volume determined in (a), which contract would the manufacturer prefer?
Answer:
A) 9458 units
B) She would prefer the one with the single lump payment of $35,000 because the present value of the other one would increase with an increase in the units sold.
Explanation:
A) To calculate the uniform annual sales volume based on a present worth analysis, we will make use of the formula for present value of annuity.
Thus;
P = PMT × (1 - ((1/(1 - rⁿ))/r
From the question, we are given;
P = $35,000
PMT = (1200 + 0.4x)
r = 7% = 0.07
n = 10
Thus, Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
(1200 + 0.4x)((1 - (1/(1 + 0.07)^10))/0.07 = 35000
This gives;
(1200 + 0.4x) × 7.0236 = 35000
(1200 + 0.4x) = 35000/7.0236
(1200 + 0.4x) = 4983.2
0.4x = 4983.2 - 1200
0.4x = 3783.2

Explanation:
Assume the firms operating in an oligopolistic market experience a relatively small change in marginal costs. According to the kinked demand curve model this would: A) cause a large change in the profit-maximizing level of output. B) leave the equilibrium price unchanged. C) cause the profit-maximizing level of output to change by the same amount and in the same direction. D) cause the profit-maximizing price to change by the same amount but in the opposite direction.
Answer:
B) Leave the equilibrium price unchanged.
Explanation:
Oligopolistic market is the arrangement where few companies offer same product to the customers. There is very less competition in the market so every supplier has fair chance for operating their business successfully. The kinked demand model curve in oligopolistic market would leave the equilibrium price unchanged.

An initial $400 compounded for 10 years at 5%. $ b. An initial $400 compounded for 10 years at 10%. $ c. The present value of $400 due in 10 years at 5%. $ d. The present value of $2,515 due in 10 years at 10% and 5%. Present value at 10%: $ Present value at 5%: $
Answer:
$651.56
$1037.50
$245.57
$969.64
$1543.99
Explanation:
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
a. 400 x (1.05)^10 = $651.56
b. 400 x (1.1)^10 = $1037.50
formula for determining present value is
PV = f / (1 + r)^n
$400/ (1.05)^10 = $245.57
d. $2515 / (1.1)^10 = $969,64
$2515 / (1.05)^10 = $1543.99
Suppose two factors are identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 4% and IR 6%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and 0.7 on IT currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 12%. If industrial production actually grows by 5%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 8%, what will be your expected rate of return on the stock, given the new information about the industrial production rate and the inflation rate
Answer:
14.4%
Explanation:
Calculation for what will be your expected rate of return on the stock.
Expected rate of return on the stock=12% + 1(5%-4%) + .7(8%-6%)
Expected rate of return on the stock=12%+1(1%)+.7(2%)
Expected rate of return on the stock=12%+1%+1.4%
Expected rate of return on the stock=14.4%
Therefore your expected rate of return on the stock is 14.4%

An environmental consultant is considering the installation of a water storage tank for a client. The tank is estimated to have an initial cost of $309,000, and annual maintenance costs are estimated to be $7,100 per year. As an alternative, a holding pond can be provided a short distance away at an initial cost of $225,000 for the pond plus $90,000 for pumps and piping. Annual operating and maintenance costs for the pumps and holding pond are estimated to be $16,000. The planning horizon is 20 years, and at that time, neither alternative has any salvage value.
Required:
Determine the preferred alternative based on a present worth analysis with a MARR of 20 percent/year.
Answer:
The preferred alternative based on a present worth analysis with a MARR of 20% per year is:
the Installation of a water Storage Tank
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
MARR = 20% per year
Time period or planning horizon = 20 years
Alternatives
Tank Pond
Initial costs $309,000 $315,000 ($225,000 + $90,000)
Annual maintenance costs 7,100 16,000
PV annuity factor 4.870 4.870
Total PV: maintenance cost $34,577 $77,920 ($16,000 * 4.870)
Total PW costs $343,577 $392,920 ($315,000 + $77,920)
Present worth is the same as the present value (PV) of a future amount, discounted to the present using a specified rate.
