On January 1, 2017, Desert Company purchased a copyright for $2,500,000, having an estimated useful life of 16 years. In January 2021, Desert paid $326,927 for legal fees in a successful defense of the copyright. Copyright amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2021, should be?

Answers

Answer:

$183,493.91

Explanation:

The computation of the amortization expense is shown below:

but before that following calculations are needed

The Amortization cost per year is

= $2,500,000 ÷ 16 years

= $156,250

Now the legal fees per year

= $326,927 ÷ 12 years

= $27243.92

Now the amortization expense is

= $156,250 + $27243.92

= $183,493.91

AbbVie Pharmaceuticals (headquartered in Lake Forest, IL) has commenced a $80 million R&D project to develop a new drug to treat a rare disease. So far, it has spent $25 million of the $80 million, and preliminary results are positive. If the remaining $55 million is invested, the drug will certainly be completed and is expected to generate profit1 of $100 million (in present value) for AbbVie. Meanwhile, a research biologist at Northwestern has independently developed a treatment for the same disease. The scientist has offered to sell her invention to AbbVie for $2 million. Her drug would be just as effective as AbbVie’s drug, and would also generate profit of $18 million in present value.

Required:
a. Should AbbVie buy the drug for $2 million?
b. What is the most AbbVie should be willing to pay for the Illinois Tech researcher’s drug?
c. How would your answer change if the Illinois Tech biologist had developed her drug two years ago, before AbbVie started its own R&D project?
d. Suppose that Merck has also expressed interest in the biologist’s invention. If Merck buys the drug, there is a 50% chance that it will beat AbbVie’s drug to market. If that happens, suppose the profit of the second drug to market is zero. Now how much should AbbVie be willing to pay for the drug? How much should Merck be willing to pay?

Question Completion:

AbbVie Pharmaceuticals (headquartered in Lake Forest, IL) has commenced a $10 million R&D project to develop a new drug to treat a rare disease. So far, it has spent $6 million of the $10 million, and preliminary results are positive. If the additional $4 million is invested, the drug will certainly be completed and is expected to generate profit of $18 million in present value for AbbVie. Meanwhile, a research biologist at Illinois Tech has independently developed a treatment for the same disease. The scientist has offered to sell her invention to AbbVie for $2 million. Her drug would be just as effective as AbbVie’s drug, and would also generate profit of $18 million in present value.

Answer:

AbbVie Pharmaceuticals

a. AbbVie should buy the drug for $2 million.

b. The most AbbVie should be willing to pay for the Illinois Tech researcher's drug is $4 million.  Luckily, this much is not demanded by the researcher.

c. If the Illinois Tech biologist had developed her drug two years ago, before AbbVie started its own R&D project, AbbVie could have paid an amount ranging from $2 million to $10 million.

d. Before Merck buys the drug, AbbVie should be willing to pay $2 million without further delays.

e. Merck should be willing to pay as much as $4 million.

Explanation:

a) Note that the introduction to the question was flawed.  The mathematics do not add up.  For this reason, I have worked with the more properly formulated question as shown in the Question Completion above.

b) Data and Calculations:

Projected cost of R&D = $10 million

Amount of the R&D cost spent already = $6 million

Remaining R&D cost to be spent = $4 million

Expected profit = $18 million

Cost of the offer by the research biologist = $2 million

Expected profit from the biologist's drug = $18 million

c) The conclusions above were reached because all the amounts are stated in present value terms.

What is the estimated value per share to the nearest penny of XYZ using the perpetual growth method for calculating terminal value

Answers

Answer:

Value per share = $26.29675928947 rounded off to $26.30

Explanation:

To calculate the value of shares today, we first need to calculate the value of firm. We can calculate the value of firm by using the FCFF approach. The FCFF is calculated as follows,

FCFF = EBIT * (1- tax rate)  +  Depreciation - Capital Expenditure - Working Capital Investment

FCFF - Year 1 = 20 * (1-0.34)  +  5  -  10  -  3    = 5.2 million

FCFF - Year 2 = 22 * (1-0.34)  +  5  -  10  -  4    = 5.52 million

FCFF - Year 3 = 25 * (1-0.34)  +  6  -  15  -  4    = 3.5 million

FCFF - Year 4 = 26 * (1-0.34)  +  7  -  15  -  3    = 6.16 million

FCFF - Year 5 = 30 * (1-0.34)  +  8  -  15  -  4    = 8.8 million

The value of firm can be calculated as follows,

Value of Firm = FCFF1 / (1+WACC)  +  FCFF2 / (1+WACC)^2  +  ...  +  

FCFFn / (1+WACC)^n  +  [(FCFFn * (1+g) / (WACC - g)) / (1+WACC)^n]

Value of firm = 5.2 / (1+0.13)  +  5.52 / (1+0.13)^2  +  3.5 / (1+0.13)^3  +  

6.16 / (1+0.13)^4  + 8.8 / (1+0.13)^5  +  [(8.8 * (1+0.05) / (0.13 - 0.05)) / (1+0.13)^5

Value of Firm = 82.59351857894 million

Value of Equity = Value of firm - value of debt

Value of equity = 82.59351857894  -  30

Value of equity = $52.59351857894 million rounded off to 52.59 million

To calculate the price per share, we need to divide the value of equity by the number of shares outstanding

Value per share = $26.29675928947 rounded off to $26.30

Under the periodic inventory system, Village Fabrics purchased 25 yards of blue plaid fabric at a cost of $2.00 per yard on June 1; on June 3, 22 yards were sold of the blue plaid; a new shipment came in with 25 more yards at a cost of $1.25 per yard on June 5; on June 15, 17 yards of the blue plaid fabric were sold; Village Fabrics purchased another 25-yard bolt at a cost of $1.00 per yard on June 19; on June 27, 6 more yards had been sold. What is the value of inventory as of June 30 under the LIFO method

Answers

Answer:

$56.25

Explanation:

LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

the inventory sold would be accounted for from the last purchased items

a total of 75 yards was bought and 45 were sold. This leaves 30 yards in the inventory .

the 30 yards would be accounted for using the cost of the fabrics bought on June 1 and 5

25 x $2 = 50

5 x $1.25 = $6.25

total = $50 + $6.25 = $56.25

On January 1, 2021, Peach Corporation issues $600,000, 5-year, 7% bonds at par. Interest is paid semiannually on January 1 and July 1. Peach Corporation uses the straight-line method of amortization. The company's fiscal year ends on December 31. Which of the following statements about the journal entry for these bonds on July 1, 2021 is TRUE?
a. The entry decreases assets and increases stockholder's equity
b. The entry increases expenses and increases assets.
c. The entry decreases net income and increases liabilities
d. The entry decreases assets and stockholder's equity

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is d. The entry decreases assets and stockholder's equity.

Explanation:

Since interest is paid semiannually on January 1 and July 1, that means cash has to be paid on July 1, 2021 as interest on bond.

Since cash is a current asset, that means the the payment of cash as intetest enxpen on July 1, 2021 will decrease asset.

Since the amount of interest expense on bond paid July 1, 2021 will reduce net income which is one of the elements of stockholder's equity, the entry will also therefore decrease the stockholder's equity.

Therefore, the correct option is d. The entry decreases assets and stockholder's equity.

Logistics Solutions provides order fulfillment services for dot merchants. The company maintains warehouses that stock items carried by its dot clients. When a client receives an order from a customer, the order is forwarded to Logistics Solutions, which pulls the item from storage, packs it, and ships it to the customer. The company uses a predetermined variable overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. In the most recent month, 190,000 items were shipped to customers using 8,300 direct labor-hours. The company incurred a total of $29,050 in variable overhead costs. According to the company’s standards, 0.03 direct labor-hours are required to fulfill an order for one item and the variable overhead rate is $3.55 per direct labor-hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to ship 190,000 items to customers? 2. What is the standard variable overhead cost allowed (SH × SR) to ship 190,000 items to customers? 3. What is the variable overhead spending variance? 4. What is the variable overhead rate variance and the variable overhead efficiency variance?

Answers

Answer:

1. Standard labor hour allowed 5,700 Hour

2. Standard variable overhead cost allowed $20,235

3. Variable overhead spending variance 8,815 U

4. Variable overhead rate variance 415 F

Variable overhead efficiency variance 9230 U

Explanation:

1. Calculation to determine the standard labor-hours allowed

Standard labor hour allowed = 190,000*.03

Standard labor hour allowed= 5,700 Hour

Therefore the Standard labor hour allowed is 5,700 Hour

2. Calculation to determine the standard variable overhead cost allowed

Using this formula

Standard variable overhead cost allowed=Standard quantity of labour hours allowed*Standard variable overhead rate

Let plug in the formula

Standard variable overhead cost allowed = 5,700*3.55

Standard variable overhead cost allowed = $20,235

Therefore the Standard variable overhead cost allowed is $20,235

3. Calculation to determine the variable overhead spending variance using this formula

Variable Overhead Spending Variance=Standard Cost- Actual Cost

Let plug in the formula

Variable overhead spending variance = 20,235-29,050

Variable overhead spending variance = 8,815 U

Therefore the Variable overhead spending variance is 8,815 U

4. Calculation to determine the variable overhead rate variance

Using this is formula

Variable overhead rate variance

=(Standard Rate*Actual Hour)-Actual cost

Let plug in the formula

Variable overhead rate variance = (3.55*8300-29050)

Variable overhead rate variance= 415 F

Therefore the variable overhead rate variance is 415 F

Calculation to determine variable overhead efficiency variance

Using this formula

Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance=

(Standard Hours - Actual Hours ) x Standard Rate

Let plug in the formula

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (5700-8300)*3.55

Variable overhead efficiency variance = 9230 U

Therefore the Variable overhead efficiency variance is 9230 U

Answers

Answer:

$1,544,620

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the levered value of the equity

First step is to calculate the VE

VL = {[$338,000 × (1 - .22)] / .142} + (.22 × $400,000)

VL=($338,000*0.78/.142)+$88,000

VL=($263,640/.142)+$88,000

VL=$1,856,620+$88,000

VL = $1,944,620

Now let calculate the levered value of the equity

VE = $1,944,620 - $400,000

VE = $1,544,620

Therefore the levered value of the equity is $1,544,620

Having a lower opportunity cost of producing a good relative to that of other countries.

Answers

Answer:

Having a lower opportunity cost of producing a good relative to that of other countries.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.

The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.

Also, the principle of comparative advantage asserts that countries can become better off by specializing in what they do best.

This simply means that, any country applying the principle of comparative advantage, would enjoy an increase in output and consequently, a boost in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP).

Hence, comparative advantage in production is achieved by having a lower opportunity cost of producing a good relative to that of other countries.

The Academic Computing Center has five trainers available in its computer labs to provide training sessions to students. Assume that the design capacity of the system is 1900 students per semester and that effective capacity is 1710. If the number of students who actually got their orientation session is 1500, What is the ratio of the utilization of the system to its efficiency

Answers

Answer:

87.72%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the ratio of the utilization of the system to its efficiency

Using this formula

Ratio=Orientation session/Effective capacity of the Academic*100

Let plug in the formula

Ratio = (1,500 / 1,710) * 100

Ratio= 0.8772 * 100

Ratio= 87.72%

Therefore the ratio of the utilization of the system to its efficiency will be 87.72%

Policy makers have been trying to diminish the gender gap in pay for several decades. Let's begin by determining the gender gap in 2004. For both of the maps, move the timeline back to 2004. The overall statistics give two values. The first value (the National Median) is the amount earned by the person for whom half of the country earn more and half earn less. Normally in thinking about pay inequality, we give the amount that women earn for every dollar a man earns. To get that number, divide the National Median for women by the National Median for men. In 2004 how much did women earn, on average for every dollar earned by a man?
a. $0.96
b. $1.32
c. $0.76
d. $0.80

Answers

Answer:

c. $0.76

Explanation:

Note: The picture below contains the national median for male and female workers

National median for female workers = $31,374

National median for male workers = $41,194

Earnings of women for every dollar of man’s earnings = National median for female workers / National median for male workers

Earnings of women for every dollar of man’s earnings = 31,374/41,194

Earnings of women for every dollar of man’s earnings = 0.76

Lisa Company

a. Cost of goods sold (FIFO) = $12,490

b. Cost of Ending Inventory (LIFO) = $5,695

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Inventory system = Perpetual

        Purchases  Sales   Units  Unit Cost  Units  Selling      Total     Total

                                                                            Price/Unit   Costs  Revenue

3/19 Sales                                                     70       $95                       6,650

3/25 Sales                                                    55       $90                      4,950

3/30 Purchase                    35   $65                                   2,275

3/31 Total                          400                   275               $19,265  $24,500

Ending inventory = 125 (400 - 275)

Cost of goods sold (FIFO):

Ending inventory cost:

3/30 Purchase                    35   $65  $2,275

3/10  Purchase                   90   $50     4,500

Total cost of ending inventory =         $6,775

Cost of goods available for sale =    $19,265

Total cost of ending inventory =         $6,775

Cost of goods sold =                         $12,490

LIFO (under perpetual inventory system):

Cost of Ending Inventory:

3/1 Beginning inventory     90   $38  $3,420

3/30 Purchase                    35   $65    2,275

Total                                   125           $5,695

b) The LIFO method under perpetual inventory system assumes that 275 units of goods sold were picked from the purchases made on March 3 and March 10, with the remaining 15 units from the beginning inventory.  This will leave 90 units in the beginning inventory and 35 purchased on March 30 to constitute the ending inventory.

Pet Supplies Inc., a pet wholesale supplier, was organized on January 1. Projected sales for each of the first three months of operations are as follows: January $300,000 February 500,000 March 750,000 All sales are on account. Seventy-five percent of sales are expected to be collected in the month of the sale, 20% in the month following the sale, and the remainder in the second month following the sale. Prepare a schedule indicating cash collections from sales for January, February, and March. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

Answers

Answer:

January  = $225,000

February  = $435,000

March  = $677,500

Explanation:

Use the collection policy given to guide your calculations for cash collection.

Month`s Collection = 75 % of Current Month`s Sale + 20 % of Previous Month`s Sale + 5 % of  Second Previous Month` Sales

Therefore cash collections for January, February, and March will be :

January = $300,000 x 75 % = $225,000

February = $500,000 x 75 % + $300,000 x 20% = $435,000

March = $750,000 x 75 % + $500,000 x 20 % + $300,000 x 5 % = $677,500

A schedule indicating cash collections from sales for January, February, and March will indicate the following Total Collections :

January  = $225,000

February  = $435,000

March  = $677,500

Assuming that Sales Discounts is treated as a contra-revenue, compute net sales for the two months ended February 28.

Answers

Answer:

the net sales for the two months is $2,448

Explanation:

The computation of the net sales for the two months is shown below:

= Sale made on Jan 6 + sale made on Jan 6 + sales made on Feb 28 - discount on sale made on Jan 6

= $1,400 + $690 + $400 - ($1,400 × 3%)

= $2,490 - $42

= $2,448

hence, the  net sales for the two months is $2,448
