Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much does the firm have in net fixed assets
First step is to calculate the Current assets
Current assets = 1.6 × $700
Current assets= $1,120
Second step is to calculate the Net income
Net income = .095 × $4,440
Net income= $421.80
Third step is to calculate the Total equity
Total equity = $421.80/.195
Total equity= $2,163.0769
Fourth step is to calculate Long-term debt
0.6 = Long term debt/(Long-term debt + $2,163.0769)
Long-term debt = $3,244.6153
Fifth step is to calculate the Total debt
Total debt = $700 + $3,244.6153
Total debt= $3,944.6153
Sixth step is to calculate Total assets
Total assets = $3,944.6153 + $2,163.0769
Total assets= $6,107.6922
Now let calculate the Net fixed assets
Net fixed assets = $6,107.6922 - $1,120
Net fixed assets = $4,987.69
Therefore How much does the firm have in net fixed assets is $4,987.69

The following information is provided for Sandhill Company and Whispering Corporation. (in $ millions) Sandhill Company Whispering Corporation Net income 2022 $130 $445 Net sales 2022 1715 4640 Total assets 12/31/20 1010 2010 Total assets 12/31/21 1085 3070 Total assets 12/31/22 1150 4100 What is Sandhill's return on assets for 2022
Answer:
11.63%
Explanation:
Average assets = [Total assets 12/31/21 + Total assets 12/31/22] / 2
Average assets = [$1085 + $1150] / 2
Average assets = $2,235 / 2
Average assets = $1,117.50
Return on Assets = Net income / Average assets
Return on Assets = $130 / $1,117.50
Return on Assets = 0.1163311
Return on Assets = 11.63%
So therefore, Sandhill's return on assets for 2022 is 11.63%.
In 2014, Lena assigned a paid-up whole life insurance policy to an Irrevocable Trust for the benefit of her three children. Lena died in 2018, and the face value of the whole life insurance policy of $2,000,000 was paid to the Irrevocable Trust. Regarding this transfer, how much is included in Lena’s gross estate at her death? A. $0 B. $45,000 C. $2,000,000 D. $1, 955,000
Answer: A. $0
Explanation:
By current tax rules, any transfers of life insurance policies within three years of the death of the owner of the policy should be included in their gross estates.
As Lena's policy was transferred in 2014 which was 4 years before he death in 2018, it does not qualify to be included in the gross estate so the answer is $0.
Answer:
A. $0

Suppose that you wish to hedge the exchange rate risk on a foreign receivable of 1,240,000 euros. You decide to do this with a long option whose underlying asset is the euro (I won't tell you whether it's a put or a call). If this option has a strike of $1.15/euro, a multiple of 10,000 euros, and a per-contract (i.e. per 10k euros) premium of $175, then what is the least number of dollars you could possibly expect to net from this hedged receivable
Answer: $1404300
Explanation:
The least number of dollars that one could possibly expect to net from this hedged receivable will be calculated thus:
Amount receivable = 1,240,000 euros
Contract size for put option = 10000
Therefore, the number of contract that can be purchased will be:
= 1240000 / 10000
= 124
The total cost of option will be:
= $175 × 124
= $21700
We then calculate the minimum dollars available which will be:
= 1240000 × 1.15
= $1426000
We then deduct the total cost of option to get the net dollar proceed which will be:
= $1426000 - $21700
= $1404300
Therefore, the the least number of dollars that is expected to net from this hedged receivable is $1404300.
Alpha Corporation has just paid its annual dividend and is looking forward to another successful year ahead. The company had free cash flow for the year just ended of $1 billion, all of which it just paid out to its shareholders as a dividend. Right now, shareholders do not believe that Alpha has any growth opportunities, so they expect the annual cash flow and dividend stream to remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. Alpha has 100 million 3 shares outstanding and a market capitalization of $10 billion. The company is entirely equity-financed. The capital market is efficient.
A) Alpha's CEO now proposes that the company skip its dividend one year from now and instead invest the entire amount of the coming year's $1 billion free cash flow in a project that management believes will generate a perpetual annual rate of return of 21%. The CEO further asserts that the new project has similar risk to the company's assets in place. If the company were to announce immediately its plans for the investment one year from now (financed by skipping next year's dividend) what do you think will happen to Alpha's stock price?
B) Some of Alpha's Board members are worried that shareholders are expecting a dividend next year and that announcing plans to skip next year's dividend will lower the stock price today. Suppose Alpha were to announce instead that it plans to pay its usual dividend one year from now and that it has no plans for any new investment at T-. What will happen to the stock price today?
C) Suppose Alpha settles on a compromise: Alpha announces today that it will invest in the new project one year from now, butwill simultaneously issue enough new shares at that time to enable it to pay the usual S10 dividend per share to its existing shareholders. What do you think will happen to Alpha's share price one year from now under this plan? What do you think will happen to Alpha's stock price today? Which of the three plans do you think Alpha's shareholders would prefer?
Answer:
(A) Alpha's stock price will fall.
(B) What will happen to the stock price today is that it will rise.
Explanation:
(C)
(i) Under the compromise plan and one year from now, Alpha's share price will fall, since Alpha will be desperate for new share holders.
(ii) Alpha's stock price today will rise, since the value of existing stocks will increase - that is, existing shareholders are assured of their usual $10 dividend plus extra dividend from the 21% estimated annual ROR on the intended project.
(iii) Which of the three plans would Alpha's shareholders prefer?
Regular-thinking shareholders would prefer Plan B. Patient shareholders would prefer Plan A, especially if they don't see many new shareholders in one year's time. Optimistic shareholders would prefer Plan C.
About 10 years ago, the POM Pomegranate Juice brand was created by a middle-aged couple in Nebraska. Theyâre business started small and then began to skyrocket after news spread of how yummy pomegranate juice is and also, how healthy is it (more antioxidants than any other juice out there!) Now, brands such as Nantucket Nectars, Ocean Spray, Minute Maid, and more have created their own pomegranate mixtures.
Required:
What has happened to the supply of pomegranate beverages as a result?
Answer:
OM Pomegranate Juice
The supply of pomegranate beverages has risen above demand, thereby causing market glut.
Explanation:
With many suppliers of pomegranate beverages, the quantity being supplied will outstrip demand. The immediate result is a glut in the market. This will lead to producing at less than full capacity as individual producers make efforts to sell their inventories. Workers may need to be laid off in order to meet the resulting economic situation.
To save money for his daughter's college tuition, Dan invests every quarter in an annuity that pays interest, compounded quarterly. Payments will be made at the end of each quarter. Find the total value of the annuity in years.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
To save money for his daughter's college tuition, Dan invests $269 every quarter in an annuity that pays 6.9% interest, compounded quarterly. Payments will be made at the end of each quarter. Find the total value of the annuity in 20 years.
Solution :
Given :
Annuity = $ 269
Compounded quarterly for 20 years, so N = 4 x 20 = 80
Rate of interest = [tex]$\frac{6.90 \%}{4}$[/tex]
= 1.725 %
We know Future value of the annuity is given by :
[tex]$FV= \text{Annuity} \times \frac{(1+R)^{N-1}}{R}$[/tex]
[tex]$FV= \text{269} \times \frac{(1+1.725\%)^{80-1}}{1.725\%}$[/tex]
[tex]$=269 \times 169.762413$[/tex]
= 45666.09
So the total value of he annuity is $45,666.09
Janet's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Miami that sells gluten-free pizzas. Janet's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the two ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Janet signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the two ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Janet's kitchen cannot fit more than two ovens, Janet cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run.
However, Janet's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Janet lets them know how many workers she needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are (Variable/Fixed) inputs, and the ovens are (Fixed/Variable) inputs.
Janet's daily production schedule is presented in the following table.

Problem 8-20 Like-Kind Exchanges (LO 8.11) Carey exchanges land for other land in a qualifying like-kind exchange. Carey's basis in the land given up is $115,000, and the property has a fair market value of $150,000. In exchange for her property, Carey receives land with a fair market value of $100,000 and cash of $10,000. In addition, the other party to the exchange assumes a mortgage loan on Carey's property of $40,000. a. Calculate Carey's recognized gain, if any, on the exchange. $fill in the blank 2cb026fcb01f033_1 b. Calculate Carey's basis in the property received. $fill in the blank 5522dd03f02dfa9_1
Answer:
Explanation:
a. Calculate Carey's recognized gain
Fair market value of property received = 100,000
Add: Cash received = 10,000
Add: Liability assumed by other party = 40,000
Total amount realized = 150,000
Then, we deduct the adjusted basis of property given up from the total amount realized. This will be:
= 150,000 - 115,000
= 35,000
b. Calculate Carey's basis in the property received.
Basis of property given up = 115,000
Less: Boot received = 50,000
Add: gain realized 35,000
Basis of property received = 100,000
Note that boot received was calculated as:
Cash received = 10,000
Add: Liability assumed by other party = 40,000
Boot received = 50000
Tangshan Mining Company must choose its optimal capital structure. Currently, the firm has a 40 percent debt ratio and the firm expects to generate a dividend next year of $4.89 per share and dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5 percent for the foreseeable future. Stockholders currently require a 10.89 percent return on their investment. Tangshan Mining is considering changing its capital structure if it would benefit shareholders. The firm estimates that if it increases the debt ratio to 50 percent, it will increase its expected dividend to $5.24 per share. Because of the additional leverage, dividend growth is expected to increase to 6 percent and this growth will be sustained indefinitely. However, because of the added risk, the required return demanded by stockholders will increase to 11.34 percent. (a) What is the value per share for Tangshan Mining under the current capital structure
Answer:
Tangshan Mining Company
The value per share for Tangshan Mining under the current capital structure is:
= $44.90
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Debt ratio = 40%
Equity ratio = 60% (100 - 40)
Expected dividend per share next year = $4.89
Expected dividend growth rate = 5%
Stockholders' required rate of return = 10.89%
New capital structure:
Estimated debt ratio = 50%
Estimated equity ratio = 50% (100 - 50)
Projected dividend under new capital structure = $5.24
Projected dividend growth rate = 6%
Projected stockholders' required rate of return = 11.34%
Under current capital structure:
Value per share = Dividend/Required rate of return
= $44.90 ($4.89/10.89%)
Discuss characteristics of modern organization and give reasons why there are frequent changes in organizations
Explanation:
The main characteristics of modern organizations are the focus on people and diversity. These characteristics are impacted by globalization and new technologies, which caused organizations to expand their business to other countries, so it was necessary to adapt the organizational culture, with ethical values that promote cultural diversity and plurality due to globalization.
Human capital is highly valued in today's organizations because the market is extremely competitive and the biggest differentiation is through ideas, innovation, productivity and job satisfaction.
Organizational changes come from economic, social changes that dynamize business and make them geared towards adapting to meet the new forms of consumption demanded by society.
Ringmeup Inc. had net income of $129,300 for the year ended December 31, 2019. At the beginning of the year, 37,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. On May 1, an additional 15,000 shares were issued. On December 1, the company purchased 4,100 shares of its own common stock and held them as treasury stock until the end of the year. No other changes in common shares outstanding occurred during the year. During the year, Ringmeup paid the annual dividend on the 6,000 shares of 4.95%, $100 par value preferred stock that were outstanding the entire year. Required: Calculate basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$2.13 per share
Explanation:
The computation of the basic earnings per share is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
The Weighted average share is
= (37000 shares × 4 ÷ 12 + (37,000 + 15,000) shares × 7 ÷ 12 + (52,000 - 4,100) shares × 1 ÷ 12)
= 46,658 Shares
And, the Preferred dividend is
= 6,000 shares × $100 × 4.95%
= $29,700
Now EPS is
= (Net income - Preferred dividend) ÷ Weighted average share outstanding = ($129,300 - $29,700) ÷ 46,658
= $2.13 per share

Western Energy makes quarterly deposits into an account reserved for purchasing new equipment two years from now. The interest paid on the deposits is 12% per year, compounded monthly. Identify the interest period, compounding period, and compounding frequency in the interest period.
a. The interest period is ____________.
b. The compounding period is _______________ .
c. The compounding frequency is___________ .
Answer:
a. 2 years
b. 1 year
c. 12 times
Explanation:
Interest period is the duration of the deposit. It is the length of time the money would remain in deposit. This is 2 years according to the question
Compounding period = number of times interest would be paid. In the question, this is a year. So interest would be paid every year
The compounding frequency - it is the number of times the deposit would be compounded. It is 12 months
The future value of the deposit can be determined using this formula :
FV = P (1 + r/m)^nm
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
m = number of compounding

2.1.3. Briefly explain the term Gross Domestic Product.
Answer:
it is the total value of goods produced and services provided in a country during one year.
Explanation:
Vijay Company reports the following information regarding its production costs. Direct materials $ 10 per unit Direct labor $ 20 per unit Overhead costs for the year Variable overhead $ 10 per unit Fixed overhead $ 160,000 Units produced 20,000 units
Compute its product cost per unit under absorption costing.
Production cost per unit
Answer:
$48 per unit
Explanation:
Given the above data, we need to find the value of unitary fixed overhead.
Unitary fixed overhead = $160,000 / 20,000 = $8
Now, we can then calculate unitary cost of production
Unitary cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Total overhead
Unitary cost = $10 + $20 + $10 + $8
Unitary cost = $48 per unit
On November 4, 2018, Blue Company acquired an asset (27.5-year residential real property) for $200,000 for use in its business. In 2018 and 2019, respectively, Blue deducted $642 and $5,128 of cost recovery. These amounts were incorrect; Blue applied the wrong percentages (i.e., those for 39-year rather than 27.5-year assets). Blue should have taken $910 and $7,272 cost recovery in 2018 and 2019, respectively. On January 1, 2020, the asset was sold for $180,000.
A. The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 is $____.
B. The cost recovery deduction for 2020 is $____.
C. The____on the sale of the asset in 2020 is $____.
Answer:
A. $191,818
B. $303
C. Loss; $11,515
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine what The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 is
Cost of asset $200,000
Less Greater of allowed and allowable cost recovery:
2018 $910
2019 $7,272 ($8,182)
($910+$7,272=$81,82)
Adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 $191,818
($200,000-$8,182)
Therefore the Adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 will be $191,818
B. Calculation to determine what The cost recovery deduction for 2020 is
Cost recovery deduction for 2020= ($200,000 x .03636 x 0.5 / 12)
Cost recovery deduction for 2020=$303
Therefore The Cost recovery deduction for 2020 is $303
C. Calculation to determine what The____on the sale of the asset in 2020 is
Based on the information given we would be using 0.3636 as the percentage for 27.5-year assets.
Cost of asset $200,000
Less Greater of allowed and allowable cost recovery:
2018 $910
2019 $7,272 ($8,182)
($910+$7,272=$81,82)
Adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 $191,818
($200,000-$8,182)
Less Cost recovery for 2020 $303
($200,000 * .03636 * 0.5 / 12)
Basis on date of sale $191,515
($191,818-$303)
Loss on sale of asset ($11,515)
($180,000 – $191,515)
Therefore The LOSS on the sale of the asset in 2020 is $11,515
Shipping cost at Junk Food Imports is a mixed cost with variable and fixed components. Past records indicate total shipping cost was $18,000 for 16,000 pounds shipped and $22,500 for 22,000 pounds shipped. Assuming that this activity is within the relevant range, if the company plans to ship 18,000 pounds next month, the expected shipping cost is:
Answer:
$18,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the expected shipping cost is:
First step is to calculate the Variable using this formula
Variable =Change in total cost /change in units
Let plug in the formula
Variable=(22,500-18,000)/(22,000-16,000)
Variable=$0.75 per pound
Now let calculate the expected shipping cost
Expected shipping cost=$0.75 per pound *18,000 pound
Expected shipping cost=$18,500
Therefore The Expected shipping cost is $18,500
Suppose Burger King has run a major advertising campaign in the hopes of increasing monthly sales. To investigate the effectiveness of this campaign, Burger King randomly selected six restaurants and recorded the monthly sales before and after the advertising. The following data represents these sales figures in thousands of dollars.
Restaurant 1 2 3 4 5 6
After $123 $122 $145 $156 $160 $134
Before $107 $110 $143 $168 $145 $125
Assuming that the sales for both restaurants does not follow the normal probability distribution, perform a hypothesis test to investigate the effectiveness of the advertising campaign using a=0.05
Answer:
140
i think
Explanation:
We cannot rule out the null hypothesis since the computed t-value of 1.49 is less than the crucial value of 2.571. In order to draw the conclusion that the advertising effort had a major impact on sales, we lack adequate evidence.
An explanation for a phenomena is offered in the form of a hypothesis, or hypotheses. According to the scientific method, a hypothesis must be testable in order to qualify as a scientific hypothesis.
Typically, scientists build their hypotheses on prior findings that provide room for doubt on the validity of the existing body of knowledge.
Despite the fact that the terms "hypothesis" and "theory" are sometimes used interchangeably, a scientific hypothesis differs from a scientific theory conclusion.

RCS, Inc. Gross fixed assets 284,950 Inventory 136,500 Accrued expenses 11,850 Accumulated depreciation 82,310 Notes payable 32,570 Preferred stock 8,000 Retained earnings 89,280 Current portion of L-T debt 4,080 Long-term debt 134,300 Accounts receivable 105,770 Additional paid-in capital 71,600 Accounts payable 50830 Common stock ($0.20 par) 60,000 Cash 17,600 Referring to the above balance sheet accounts for RCS, Inc. for the year ending Dec 31, 2016, the number of common shares issued by the company is closest to:_____.
a. 658,000
b. 12,000
c. 300,000
d. 26,320
Answer:
The correct option is c. 300,000.
Explanation:
The number of common shares issued by the company can be calculated as follows:
Common stock each at par =$0.20
Common stock total value at par = $60,000
Number of common shares issued = Common stock total value at par / Common stock each at par = $60,000 / $0.20 = 300,000
Therefore, the number of common shares issued by the company is closest to: c. 300,000.
Mrs. Jonas believes strongly that it is important that workers' rights be respected, and that one of the more important ways of doing this is to ensure that all workers be properly documented.

Sold the pickup truck for $34,000 cash. (Record the depreciation on the truck prior to recording its disposal.)
December 31 , 2016
Recorded depreciation on the storage shed. Determined that the patent was impaired and wrote off its remaining book value (i.e., wrote down the book value to zero).
Record the journal entries for the following:
1. Record the purchase of storage shed components for $86,000.
2. Record the payment of $2,000 to have the storage shed erected
3. Record the purchase of a pickup truck for $40,000.
4.. Record the repairs of $500 to the pickup truck.
5.. Record the purchase of a patent for $29,000 on a new paper bag manufacturing process
6. Record the depreciation and amortization expense on the pickup truck, storage shed and patent for the year
7. Record the depreciation for the truck up to the date of sale.
8. Record the sale of the pickup truck for $34,000 cash.
9. Record the depreciation on the storage shed for the year.
10. Record any impairment loss incurred on the patent.
Answer:
Note: See the attached excel file for the journal entries for recording events 1 to 10.
Explanation:
Also note that since the double-declining-balance depreciation is used for buildings, the depreciation rate for the building is therefore obtained as follows:
Note that double-declining-balance is a depreciation method that depreciates an asset twice the rate of the straight line depreciation method. Therefore, the double-declining-balance depreciation rate used in the excel file is calculated as follows:
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of estimated life = 1 / 10 = 0.10, or 10%
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = 10% * 2 = 20%
You just bought a motorcycle for $8,000. You plan to ride the motorcycle for two years, and then sell it for $3,200. During this two-year period, you expect to ride the motorcycle 10,000 miles each year, and you expect the motorcycle to get 50 miles per gallon of gasoline. The annual cost of insurance is $960, registration costs are $80 (good for two years), and the price of gasoline is $2.50 per gallon. During this same two-year period, you will need to service your motorcycle five times, at $240 per service check, and obtain five oil changes. Each oil change costs $35. You will also need to replace your tires once during this two-year period, for a total cost of $400.
a. Calculate the total fixed cost, total variable cost, and cost per mile for the two-year period, .
b. Suppose you want to lower the cost per mile. You should focus on:
i. variable costs, because they represent a majority of the total costs.
ii. fixed costs, because they must be paid.
iii. variable costs, because they can be avoided.
iv. fixed costs, because they represent a majority of the total costs.
Answer:
Total fixed costs = $6,800
b. Total variable cost = $2,775
c. = $0.48 per mile
2. iii variable costs, because they can be avoided.
Explanation:
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.
Hourly wage costs and payments for production inputs are variable costs
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
If a producer decides not to produce any output, there would be no need to hire labour and thus no need to pay hourly wages.
Depreciation + Insurance + cost of registration
Depreciation = Cost - salvage = 8,000 - 3,200 = $4,800
Insurance = 960 x 2 = 1920
Total fixed cost = 4,800 + 1920 + 80 = $6,800
Total variable cost
Gasoline + Service + Oil change + tire replacement
Gasoline = 10,000/ 50 = 2000 x 2.5 x 2 = 1000
= (1000 + (240 * 5) + (35 * 5) + 400
= 1,000 + 1,200 + 175 + 400 = $2,775
Total cost / Number of miles
= (6,800 + 2,775) / (10,000 * 2 years)
= $0.48 per mile
Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $126,000 to $162,000 and would decrease the current variable costs of $70 by $10 per unit. The selling price of $100 is not expected to change. Forrester's current break-even sales are $420,000 and current break-even units are 4,200. If Forrester purchases this new equipment, the revised break-even point in units would:
Answer:
150 units decrease
Explanation:
The computation of the revised break even point in units is shown below:
As we know that
Break even point in units is
= Fixed costs ÷ (Selling price - variable cost)
= $162,000 ÷ ($100 - $60)
= 4,050
And, the Current Break even point is 4,200
So, BEP will reduce by
= 4,200 - 4,050
= 150 units
Most consumers and investors today want the firms they do business with to look beyond just the profit motive. In fact, they want firms that behave legally and ethically while also giving back to their communities via philanthropic activities. The framework that attempts to reconcile these wants is known as

An allowance received from a creditor will __________ column of the creditor's account. Multiple Choice increase the creditor's account balance and be posted to the debit increase the creditor's account balance and be posted to the credit decrease the creditor's account balance and be posted to the debit decrease the creditor's account balance and be posted to the credit
Answer: decrease the creditor's account balance and be posted to the debit
Explanation:
Allowances are reductions in the money owed to creditors and they include things like sales returns or sales discounts. When recorded, they should therefore reduce the amount in the creditor's account to show that less cash is owed to the creditor.
As Creditor accounts are liabilities, they are credited when they increase and debited when they decrease. They will therefore have to be debited in this instance.
