The obligations of the corporation are not personal to any individual and liability of the owners, workers or shareholders are limited
It doesn't surprise you at all that Alex is a bit confused by what these activities mean. You explain the following: Cash flows from operations are cash inflows and outflows caused by the restaurant's main business -- selling food and beverages and catering. Cash flows from investing are payments made to acquire long-term assets or cash received from the sale of long-term assets. Cash flows from financing reflect changes in debt, loans, or dividends. You're still getting a blank look from Alex, so you give him a series of examples to help him understand the different categories. Consider each of the following items and determine whether it affects cash flows from operating, investing, or financing, and whether it is a cash inflow or a cash outflow.

The government would stop borrowing from foreign nations because they will have a surplus to fund what it is they need to fund without seeking excess capital.
4. More funds are made available for private investment in physical capital.
With the government in surplus, they will not need to borrow from the market which would leave enough funds for the private sector to borrow and invest in physical capital.
Budget Deficit.1. Cantania's government increases its demand for financial capital.
The government would demand more financial capital to enable it fund the deficit.
2. Interest rates in Cantania rise.
Interests rates will rise as the government borrows funds because they will borrow a significant amount which would reduce the supply of loanable funds thereby increasing rates.

Answer:
everyone is willing to pay the taxes to receive the benefits.
Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
The different types of tax include the following;
1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.
2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.
3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.
A Lindahl equilibrium can be defined as an economic state in which there is a production of an optimal quantity of public goods and the cost of these goods is shared in a fair manner among everybody. It was developed by Erik Lindahl.
In a Lindahl equilibrium everyone is willing to pay the taxes to receive the benefits.

3. Like Games's total assets turnover ratio is _1.05x_ which is _higher_ than the industry's average total assets turnover ratio. In general, a higher total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Graham Pharmaceuticals
Quick ratio = 2.00x
Cash = $31,500
Accounts receivable = $17,500
Inventory = x
Total current assets = $70,000
Total current liabilities = $24,500
Quick assets = $24,500 * 2 = $49,000 ($31,500 + $17,500)
Inventory (x) = $21,000 ($70,000 - $49,000)
Annual sales = $100,000
Inventory Turnover = $100,000/$21,000 = 4.76x
Part B:
Like Games Our Play Industry Average
Accounts receivable 2,700 3,900 3,850
Net fixed assets 55,000 80,000 216,750
Total assets 95,000 125,000 234,600
Sales revenue 100,000 100,000 100,000
Days Sales Outstanding 9.9 days 14.2 days 14x
Accounts receivable turnover 37x 25.6x 26x
Average Collection Period 9.9 days 14.3 days 14x
Fixed assets turnover ratio 1.82x 1.25x 0.46x
Total assets turnover ratio 1.05x 0.8x 0.43x
Average days of sales outstanding = Average Accounts Receivable/Sales * 365
Accounts receivable turnover = Net Sales/Average Receivable
Average Collection Period = 365/Accounts receivable turnover
Fixed assets turnover ratio = Net Sales/Net Fixed Assets
Total assets turnover ratio = Net Sales/Total assets

On January 1, 2020 Roberts acquires 100% of Smith by issuing 100,000 shares (par value $2, fair value $10). Smith will remain as a wholly owned subsidiary of Roberts. At acquisition date, Smith had a book value of assets of $800,000 and a book value of liabilities of $200,000. Included in the assets Smith had land with a book value of $400,000 and a fair value of $330,000. Included in the liabilities, Smith had a Note Payable with a book value of $120,000 and a fair value of $80,000. What is the amount of goodwill or gain on bargain purchase at January 1, 2020.
Answer:
$430,000
Explanation:
The excess of Purchase Price over the Net Assets taken over is known as Goodwill.
Acquisition of Assets and Liabilities of a subsidiary are made at their Acquisition date Fair Value amounts.
Assets Fair Value
Book Value $800,000
Adjust Land Revalued ($70,000)
Assets fair value $730,000
Liabilities Fair Value
Book Value $200,000
Adjust Note Payable Revalued ($40,000)
Liabilities fair value $160,000
Now,
Net Assets Acquired = $730,000 - $160,000 = $570,000
Purchase Price = 100,000 x $10 = $1,000,000
Goodwill = $430,000
Therefore,
the amount of goodwill or gain on bargain purchase at January 1, 2020 is $430,000

(4) Asset A has an expected return of 15% and a Sharpe ratio of .4. Asset B has an expected return of 20% and a Sharpe ratio of .3. A rational risk-averse investor would prefer a portfolio using the risk-free asset and ______. A. asset A B. asset B C. no risky asset D. not enough information to determine the answer
Answer: A. Asset A
Explanation:
The Sharpe ratio is used to adjust the return earned on an asset based on its risk. This allows investors to know the returns they are getting for risk being taken.
A higher Sharpe ratio is preferred to a lower one as it shows that more returns are being received per risk taken. A rational risk averse investor would therefore pick Asset A because they would be getting more return for the risk they take regardless of how little this risk is.
I tell you that if you rake all the leaves in my yard, I will show up to Business Law class next week. You immediately come over and start raking the leaves. Halfway through the job you decide to leave to do some extra Business Law reading for fun. I run after you and say, "you didn’t finish, I will sue you for this!" Your best defense is:
Answer: d. There was no valid consideration
Explanation:
Valid consideration is a clause in contract law that states that the contract cannot be valid if both sides did not make a promise to fulfil some duty to each other.
You made a promise that you would come to Business Law class if I raked the yard, however, I never made a promise that I would rake the yard if you came to class. There was therefore no valid consideration.

An advantage of a corporation is that
A
owners pay fewer taxes than owners of other forms of business.
B
the business is subject to little government regulation.
с
owners have limited liability for debt.
D
owners have direct and immediate control over daily management of the business.
Answer:
Explanation:
An advantage of a corporation is that owners have limited liability for debt.
The advantage of a corporation is that owners have limited liability for debt. Thus, option (c) is correct.
This means that the corporate entity shields the shareholders from liability beyond the value of their investments, so protecting their personal assets.
When a company regularly assumes significant risks for which it could be held liable, limited liability is a distinct advantage. A corporation also offers protection from personal liability, continuity, and security for the business, quicker access to financing, and simple ownership transfers.
Therefore, option (c) is correct.

On January 1, 2019, Lightfoot Corporation issues 10%, 5-year bonds with a face value of $275,000 when the effective interest rate is 9%. Interest is to be paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Prepare calculations to prove that the selling price of the bonds is $285,880.07. Click here to access the tables to use with this exercise. Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary.
Answer:
Value of bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of maturity or par value
Present value of coupon payments:
Coupon is semi annual = 275,000 * 10% * 1/2
= $13,750
Interest = 9%/ 2 = 4.5%
Duration = 5 * 2 = 10 semi annual periods
Present value will be that of an annuity as this cash flow is fixed:
= 13,750 * (1 - (1 + 4.5%)⁻¹⁰) / 4.5%
= $108,799.87
Present value of par value:
= 275,000 / ( 1 + 4.5%)¹⁰
= 177,080.11
Value of bond:
= 108,799.87 + 177,080.11
= $285,879.98
= $285,880
Proven.

Finished goods $56,000 $33,500
Additional information for the month ended February 28:
Raw materials purchased $198,000
Factory payroll $150,000
Actual factory overhead costs:
Indirect materials $15,000
Indirect labor $34,500
Other overhead costs $13,500
Sales $1,100,000
Predetermined overhead rate (based on direct labor costs) = 55% of DL costs
Compute the following amounts for the month of February. You must show all of your work, either using formulas or using T-accounts.
a. Cost of direct materials used.
b. Total manufacturing costs.
c. Cost of goods manufactured.
d. Cost of goods sold.(ignore effects of underapplied / overapplied overhead)
e. Gross profit.
f. Overapplied or underapplied overhead.
Answer:
a. $195,000
b. $423,525
c. $412,125
d. $434,625
e. $665,375
f. $525 over-applied
Explanation:
a. Cost of direct materials used.
Cost of direct materials used = Opening Materials Inventory + Materials Purchase - Ending Materials Inventory - Indirect materials
= $42,000 + $198,000 - $30,000 - $15,000
= $195,000
b. Total manufacturing costs.
Total manufacturing costs = Variable Manufacturing Costs + Fixed Manufacturing Costs
Total manufacturing costs calculation
Direct materials $195,000
Direct Labor ($150,000 - $34,500) $115,500
Indirect materials $15,000
Indirect labor $34,500
Other overhead costs - applied ($115,500 x 55%) $63,525
Total Cost $423,525
c. Cost of goods manufactured.
Cost of goods manufactured = Opening Work In Process + Total manufacturing costs - Closing Work In Process
= $9,200 + $423,525 - $20,600
= $412,125
d. Cost of goods sold.
Cost of goods sold = Opening Finished Goods Inventory + Cost of goods manufactured - Closing Finished Goods Inventory
= $56,000 + $412,125 - $33,500
= $434,625
e. Gross profit.
Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold
= $1,100,000 - $434,625
= $665,375
f. Overapplied or underapplied overhead
If Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads, we have under-applied overheads
and
If Applied Overheads > Actual Overheads, we have over-applied overheads
where,
Actual Overheads = $15,000 + $34,500 + $13,500 = $63,000
Applied Overheads = $63,525
Over-applied overheads = Applied Overheads - Actual Overheads
= $63,525 - $63,000
= $525
