Answer:
D. More product will be produced than consumers want to purchase.
Explanation:
The supply curve for any good slopes upward: the higher the price, the more quantity is produced.
The demand curve for any good slopes downward: the higher the price, the less quantity is produced.
For this reason, if the average market price is higher than the equilibrium price (the equilibrium price is the price where supply and demand are equal), then, supply will be higher than demand, because producers will be enticed by the higher price.
However, this supply will not meed demand, creating excess output, or excess supply.
Answer:
d.

Easter Egg and Poultry Company has $1,040,000 in assets and $649,000 of debt. It reports net income of $120,000. a. What is the firm’s return on assets? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. What is its return on stockholders’ equity? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) c. If the firm has an asset turnover ratio of 4 times, what is the profit margin (return on sales)? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
A. 11.54%
B. 30.69%
C. 2.88
Explanation:
Return on assets = net income/ total assets
= $120,000 / $1,040,000 = 0.115385 = 11.54%
Return on equity = net income/ total equity
Total equity = total assets - liabilities = $1,040,000 - $649,000 = $391,000
$120,000 / $391,000 = 0.3069 = 30.69%
Profit margin = gross profit/ revenue
Asset turnover = revenue / total asset
4 = revenue / $1,040,000
Revenue = $4,160,000
Profit margin = $120,000 / $4,160,000 = 0.0288 = 2.88

Parker Corp. owns 80% of Smith Inc.'s common stock. During Year 1, Parker sold Smith $250,000 of inventory on the same terms as sales made to third parties. Smith sold all of the inventory purchased from Parker in Year 1. The following information pertains to Smith and Parker's sales for Year 1:
Parker:
Sales $ 1,000,000
Cost of sales 400,000
Total $ 600,000
Smith:
Sales $ 700,000
Cost of sales $ 350,000
Total $ 350,000
What amount should Parker report as cost of sales in its Year 1 consolidated income statement?
a. $750,000
b. $680,000
c. $500,000
d. $430,000
Answer:
c. $500,000
Explanation:
Given that :
Parker Corp. owns 80% of Smith Inc.'s common stock
During Year 1, Parker sold Smith $250,000 of inventory
Therefore; adjusted for inter Corp. sales = $250,000
The following information pertains to Smith and Parker's sales for Year 1:
Parker Smith
Sales $ 1,000,000 $ 700,000
Cost of Sales $400,000 $ 350,000
Total $ 600,000 $ 350,000
For the Unadjusted Cost of Sales of Parker and Smith = $400,000+$ 350,000
= $750,000
The amount that Parker should report as cost of sales in its Year 1 consolidated income statement = Unadjusted Cost of Sales - adjusted for inter Corp. sales
= $750,000 - $250,000
= $500,000

(Click to select) Shift up Shift down No change (Click to select) Shift up Shift down No change (Click to select) Shift up Shift down No change (Click to select) Shift up Shift down No change
Answer:
a. A reduction in business property taxes.
MC - No Change
AVC - No Change
AFC - Shift down
ATC - Shift down
Because business property taxes are a fixed cost, a reduction of this type would shift down bouth the AFC and ATC cost curves.
b. An increase in the nominal wages of production workers.
MC - Shift up
AVC - Shift up
AFC - No Change
ATC - Shift up
Production workers are direct labor, and as direct labor, their cost depends on the level of production. In other words, the wages of production workers are a variable cost, and an increase in their nominal wages would shift up the AVC, and the ATC.
The MC curve would shift up as well because now each additional unit of input (the production workers), becomes more expensive due to the wage increase.
c. A decrease in the price of electricity.
MC - Shift down
AVC - Shift down
AFC - Shift down
ATC - Shift down
Electricity can be both a fixed cost, and a variable cost. For example, the electricity used in the administrative offices is a fixed cost, while the electricity used to power machinery is a variable cost. As a result, a reduction in the price of it would shift down all the cost curves.
d. An increase in insurance rates on plant and equipment.
MC - No Change
AVC - No Change
AFC - Shift up
ATC - Shift up
Insurance rates on plant and equipment are a fixed cost, for this reason, an increase in the rates would shift up both the AFC and the ATC.
e. An increase in transportation costs.
MC - No Change
AVC - Shift up
AFC - No Change
ATC - Shift up
Transportation costs are mostly a variable cost: the more output, the more goods have to be delivered, the higher the transportation costs. An increase in these costs would shift up both the AVC and the ATC curves.

August 2021 Ending Inventory & Cost of Goods Sold:
1. Ending Inventory = 9,000 units at $5.88 per unit = $52,920
2. Cost of goods sold =
9,600 x $5.87 = $56,352
7,000 x $5.95 = $41,650
16,600 units = $98,002
Explanation:
a) Calculations:
Units Unit Cost Total Cost
Beginning Inventory 2,000 $5.70 $11,400
Purchases 12,000 $5.90 $70,800
Weighted average cost = ($11,400 + $70,800) / 14,000 = $5.87
Sales (9,600) $12.00 $115,200
Units remaining 4,400 $5.87 $25,828
Purchases 7,200 $6.00 $43,200
Weighted average cost = ($25,828 + $43,200) / 11,600 = $5.95
Sales (7,000) $11.40 $79,800
Units remaining 4,600 $5.95 $27,370
Purchases 4,400 $5.80 $25,520
Weighted average cost = ($27,370 + $25,520) / 9,000 = $5.88
Ending Inventory 9,000 $5.88 $52,920
b) The 'Average Cost Method' or the Weighted Average Cost Method assumes that the cost of inventory is based on the average cost of the goods available for sale during the period. To compute the average cost, divide the total cost of goods available for sale by the total units available for sale.

ou wish to retire in 20 years, at which time you want to have accumulated enough money to receive an annual annuity of $32,000 for 25 years after retirement. During the period before retirement you can earn 8 percent annually, while after retirement you can earn 10 percent on your money. What annual contributions to the retirement fund will allow you to receive the $32,000 annuity
Answer:
Annual contributions to the retirement fund will be $6,347.31
Explanation:
First find the Present Value of the Annuity giving payments of $32,000 annually for 25 years at the rate of 10%.
Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data
PMT = $32,000
P/y = 1
N = 25
R = 10%
FV = 0
Thus, the Present Value, PV is $290,465.28
At the time of retirement (in 20 years time) the Value of the annuity fund is $290,465.28.
Next we need to find the Payments PMT to reach this amount in 20 years time at the interest rate of 8%
Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data
FV = $290,465.28
N = 20
R = 8 %
PV = $0
Thus, the Payments, PMT required will be $6,347.3080
Conclusion :
Annual contributions to the retirement fund will be $6,347.31

The BVM Corp., construction company, purchased a used hybrid electric pickup truck for 30,000 and used MACRS depreciation in the income tax return. During the time the company had the truck, they estimiated that it saved 9500 a year. At the end of 4 years. BVM sold the truck for 9000. The combined federal and state income tax rate for BVM is 40%. Compute the after-tax rate of return for the truck
Answer:
The BVM Corp.
The After-tax Rate of Return for the truck = After-Tax Income/Investment in Truck x 100
= $10,200/$30,000 x 100 = 34%
Explanation:
a) Calculations:
Current Value of the Truck =
Sale of Truck = $9,000
Savings from Truck = $38,000 ($9,500 x 4)
Total $47,000
Investment increase = $17,000 ($47,000 - 30,000)
Combined Tax = $6,800 (40% x $17,000)
After Tax Income = $10,200 ($17,000 - 6,800)
b) MACRS means the modified accelerated cost recovery system. It is an allowance by the IRS for faster depreciation in the first years of an asset's life and the depreciation slows later on in order to allow a business to recover the cost basis of certain assets that deteriorate over time.
c) Rate of return (ROR) is the percentage increase or decrease of an investment (truck) over a set period of time (4 years), which is calculated by taking the difference between the current (or expected) value ($47,000) and original value ($30,000), dividing by the original value, and then this is multiplied by 100.
During the year, Belyk Paving Co. had sales of $2,485,000. Cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses, and depreciation expense were $1,349,000, $660,000, and $462,000, respectively. In addition, the company had an interest expense of $287,000 and a tax rate of 24 percent. The company paid out $412,000 in cash dividends. Assume that net capital spending was zero, no new investments were made in net working capital, and no new stock was issued during the year. (lgnore any tax loss or carryforward provision and assume interest expense is fully deductible.)
Calculate the firm's net new long-term debt added during the year. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer:
$888,000
Explanation:
In order to determine how much new debt was added, we must calculate cash flows:
first we need to determine net income:
sales ($2,485,000) - COGS ($1,349,000) - S&A expenses ($660,000) - depreciation expense ($462,000) = EBIT = $14,000
since EBIT is lower than interest expense ($14,000 ≤ $287,000), we can assume there was a loss. But the question tells us to ignore any tax losses. So net income = $14,000 - $287,000 = -$273,000
operating cash flow = net income + adjustments = -$273,000 + $462,000 = $189,000
there were not capital spending and no new investments made, so cash flow from investing activities = $0
so the net cash flow from assets = $189,000
net cash flow form assets = net cash flow from stockholders + net cash flow from liabilities
net cash flow from stockholders = common stock issued - dividends = $0 - $412,000 = -$412,000
$189,000 = -$412,000 + net cash flow from liabilities
$601,000 = net cash flow from liabilities
net cash flow from liabilities = net new long term debt - interest expense
$601,000 = net new long term debt - $287,000
net new long term debt = $601,000 + $287,000 = $888,000
You manage an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 9% and a standard deviation of 12%. The rate on Treasury bills is 4%. Your client chooses to invest $50,000 of her portfolio in your equity fund and $40,000 in a T-bill money market fund. What is the reward-to-volatility (Sharpe) ratio for the equity fund?
Answer:
0.75%
Explanation:
Computation for reward-to-volatility (Sharpe) ratio for the equity fund
Using this formula
Reward to volatility ratio =Portfolio risk premium÷Standard deviation of portfolio excess return
Where ,
Portfolio risk premium =9%
Standard deviation of portfolio excess return=12%
Let plug in the formula
Reward to volatility ratio =0.09/0.12
Reward to volatility ratio =0.75%
Therefore reward-to-volatility (Sharpe) ratio for the equity fund will be 0.75%
Colter Steel has $4,800,000 in assets. Temporary current assets $ 1,600,000 Permanent current assets 1,530,000 Fixed assets 1,670,000 Total assets $ 4,800,000 Short-term rates are 12 percent. Long-term rates are 17 percent. Earnings before interest and taxes are $1,020,000. The tax rate is 40 percent. If long-term financing is perfectly matched (synchronized) with long-term asset needs, and the same is true of short-term financing, what will earnings after taxes be
Answer:
Colter SteelEarnings after taxes:Earnings before interest and taxes = $1,020,000
Interests = $659,500
Pre-tax Earnings = $360,500
Income Tax (40%) 144,200 ($360,500 x 40%)
Earnings after taxes = $216,300
Explanation:
a) Interests:
i) Long-term interests = 17% of Fixed Assets ($1,670,000) = $283,900
ii) Short-term interest = 12% of current assets ($4,800,000 - 1,670,000) = $375,600
Total interests = $659,500 ($283,900 + 375,600)
b) Short-term rates are the interest rates for current assets (or short-term borrowings).
c) Long-term rates are the interest rates for long-term assets or fixed assets (or long-term borrowings).
A portfolio consists of $15,200 in Stock M and $23,400 invested in Stock N. The expected return on these stocks is 8.90 percent and 12.50 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
Portfolio return = 11.08%
Explanation:
The expected return on the portfolio is the weighted average return of all the different stocks making up the portfolio. The weight of the individual stock would be the relative amount invested in each stock as a proportion of the total fund invested.
The expected return can be determined as follows
Weighted of stock A= 15,200/(15200+23400)=0.39
Weight of stock B = 23.400/((15200+23400)= 0.61
Expected return on portfolio = (0.39 ×8.90% ) + (0.61*12.50%)= 11.08 %
Accounts Payable The balance in Ashwood Company's Accounts Payable account at December 31, 2016, was $1,200,000 before any necessary year-end adjustment relating to the following: Goods were in transit from a vendor to Ashwood on December 31, 2016. The invoice cost was $85,000, and the goods were shipped FOB shipping point on December 29, 2016. The goods were received on January 2, 2017. Goods shipped FOB shipping point on December 20, 2016, from a vendor to Ashwood were lost in transit. The invoice cost was $40,000. On January 5, 2017, Ashwood filed a $40,000 claim against the common carrier. Goods shipped FOB destination on December 22, 2016, from a vendor to Ashwood were received on January 6, 2017. The invoice cost was $20,000. What amount should Ashwood report as accounts payable on its December 31, 2016, balance sheet? a. $1,325,000 b. $1,260,000 c. $1,285,000 d. $1,345,000
Answer:
Ashwood CompanyAccounts Payable account at December 31, 2016:Amount to report in the balance sheet =
a. $1,325,000
Explanation:
The balance in the account was $1,200,000
Adjustments:
In transit goods, shipped FOB shipping point = $85,000
Lost in transit goods, shipped FOB shipping point = $40,000
Total = $1,325,000
The shipping terms determine when liability for goods in transit pass to the buyer and if the buyer should include the goods in its own Ending Inventory and adjust its Accounts Payable respectively. The liability for goods in transit passes to the buyer if the FOB is shipping point. The liability does not pass to the buyer if the FOB is destination.
What do you see as the major deficiencies current information systems budgeting and prioritization processes are run
Answer:
The major challenges with the current information systems budgeting and prioritisation process are:
The focus was overly on how the budgeted monies will be spent and how much return it will bring to the business. Not much thought was given to how the monies required for the expenses will be generated. Budgeting not only looks at the outflow, it examines existing and potential sources of income/revenue. When this is balanced, the company can integrate such into their marketing strategy armed with what information about the market that they possess.The prioritization is all wrong. Budgeting is because there is are organisational objectives to be met with limited resources.
Because those resources are limited, the said objectives have to be prioritized. Income-generating projects must hold more priority over non-revenue generating activities.
If there is a strategic link between the company's Information Systems upgrade and an increase in its bottom line, then it must be given priority.
Cheers!
The company is currently selling 6,500 units per month. Fixed expenses are $184,000 per month. The marketing manager believes that a $7,800 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 190 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?
Answer:
$14,050
Explanation:
Calculation of what should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Contribution Income Statement
6,500 units 6,690 units
Sales (at $190 per unit)$1,235,000 $1,271,100
Variable expenses (at $75 per unit)
$487,500 $501,750
Contribution margin$747,500 $ 769,350
Fixed expenses ($7,800 increase)
$184,000 $191,800
Net operating income$563,500 $577,550
6,500 units+190 unit increase in monthly sales=6,690
Fixed expenses ($7,800 increase)
$184,000 +$7,800$= $191,800
Net operating income$563,500 -$577,550 =$14,050
Therefore Net operating income would increase by $14,050

Each unit produced costs the company $8.00, and it is sold for $10.00. How much will the company gain or lose in a month if they stock the expected number of units demanded but sell 2000 units?
Missing information:
The demand for a product varies from month to month. Based on the past year's data, the following probability distribution shows MNM company's monthly demand.
x f(x)
Unit Demand Probability
0 0.10
1,000 0.10
2,000 0.30
3,000 0.40
4,000 0.10
Answer:
total expected demand = 100 + 600 + 1,200 + 400 = 2,300 units
the company spends 2,300 x $8 = $18,400 to produce the units in stock
the company earns 2,000 x $10 = $20,000 from selling the units
assuming that the remaining units (unsold units) must be discarded and have no value, then the company will earn $20,000 - $18,400 = $1,600

A company’s weighted average cost of capital is 10.8% per year and the market intrinsic value of its debt is $33.1 million. The company’s free cash flow next year is expected to be $4.7 million and the free cash flow is expected to grow forever at a rate of 3.7% per year. If the company has three million shares of common stock outstanding, what is the intrinsic value per share? Question 6 options: A) $13.72 B) $9.48 C) $11.03 D) $12.24 E) $15.12
Answer:
C. $11.03
Explanation:
We need to first compute the firm's value which is shown below.
Firm's value = Free cash flow ÷ (Weighted average cost of capital - Growth rate)
Firm's value = $4.7 million ÷ ( 10.8% - 3.7%)
= $4.7 million ÷ 7.1%
= $66,197,183
Stock price = (Firm value - Debt) ÷ Number of shares
= ($66,197,183 - $33,100,000) ÷ 3,000,000
= $33,097,183 ÷ 3,000,000
= $11.03
Ruby is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company. She currently has $11,400 in an IRA, an important part of her retirement nest egg. She believes her IRA will grow at an annual rate of 9 percent, and she plans to leave it untouched until she retires at age 65. Ruby estimates that she will need $875,000 in her total retirement nest egg by the time she is 65 in order to have retirement income of $20,000 a year (she expects that Social Security will pay her an additional $15,000 a year).How much will Ruby's IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?
Answer:
$ 358,063
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Ruby's IRA will be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires.
Ruby's IRA worth when she retires at age of 65
First step
Using this formula to find how many years until Ruby retires
Time period= Retired age (-) current age
Let plug in the formula
65-25=40 years
Second step is to find the future value of IRA when she retires
Using this formula
Future value of IRA when she retires
= Present value(1+r)t
Let plug in the formula
$ 11,400 (1+0.09) ^40
=$11,400 (1.09) ^40
=$ 11,400 (31.409)
= $ 358,063
Therefore the amout that Ruby's IRA will be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires will be $358,063

Journalizing and posting an adjusting entry for accrued salaries expense
Birch Park Senior Center has a weekly payroll of $12,500. December 31 falls on Wednesday, and Birch Park Senior Center will pay its employees the following Monday (January 5) for the previous full week. Assume Birch Park Senior Center has a five-day workweek and has an unadjusted balance in Salaries Expense of $620,000.
Requirements
1. Record the adjusting entry for accrued salaries on December 31.
2. Post the adjusting entry to the accounts involved, and show their balances after adjustments.
3. Record the journal entry for payment of salaries made on January 5.
Answer:
1. Debit Salaries expense $7,500
Credit Accrued Salaries $7,500
2. Balance in Accrued salaries is $7,500
Balance in Salaries expense is $627,500
3. Debit Salaries expense $5,000
Debit Accrued Salaries $7,500
Credit Cash $12,500
Being entries to recognize the payment of salaries
Explanation:
When an expense is incurred but yet to be paid, it is recognized with a corresponding entry posted into an accrued expense account (this shows the entity has a liability).
If the weekly payroll expense is $12,500 then the daily rate is
= $12,500/5 (for 5 work day week)
= $2,500
If December 31 falls on a Wednesday, it means that an expense (payroll) has been incurred for 3 days. This expense amounts to
= 3 * $2,500
= $7,500
This will be recognized as a debit to Salaries expense and a credit to accrued expense.
The balance in Salaries expense will be
= $620,000 + $7,500
= $627,500
The remaining expense that will be further incurred at the end of the week
= $12,500 - $7,500
= $5,000
When payment is made, the liability is cleared
The Green Giant has a 7 percent profit margin and a 61 percent dividend payout ratio. The total asset turnover is 1.4 times and the equity multiplier is 1.6 times. What is the sustainable rate of growth
Answer:
5.17%
Explanation:
The green giant has a 7% profit margin
= 7/100
= 0.07
The dividend payout ratio is 67%
= 67/100
= 0.67
Total turnover is 1.4 times
Equity multiplier is 1.6 times
The first step is to calculate the return of equity
ROE= profit margin×total turnover×equity multiplier
= 0.07×1.4×1.6
= 0.1568
Therefore, the sustainable rate of growth can be calculated as follows
= return of equity×(1-dividend payout ratio)
= 0.1568×(1-0.67)
= 0.1568×0.33
= 0.0517×100
= 5.17%
Hence the sustainable rate of growth is 5.17%
The effects of inflation
Suppose Specific Automakers is considering signing a long-term contract with the union representing its workers. Specific Automakers and the union both agree that real wages should increase by 3%. Inflation is expected to be 6%, so they agree on a 9% nominal wage increase.
Now, suppose inflation turns out to be lower than expected, coming in at 5%. This would the _______union and _______ Specific Automakers because the real wage increase would now be _______.
Because of uncertainty about future inflation, the union devotes a large quantity of resources to monitoring inflation indicators in order to maximize its financial position.
This illustrates the fact that:
A. Inflation harms lenders and helps borrowers
B. Inflation obscures relative price changes
C. Variable inflation is associated with high transaction costs
Answer:
Benefit
Harm
Higher
C. Variable inflation is associated with high transaction costs
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in general price levels.
The increase in income was 9% based on the assumption that inflation would be 6%.
It turns out that inflation was 5%. The increase in income should have been 8% instead of 9%.
The union members end up earning more than they ought to, so they benefit. The company pays more than they ought to to workers, so they are in a disadvantage.
The union members spend a lot to monitor inflation. This is a transaction cost .
