Answer:
D) honorary directors.
Explanation:
-Inside directors are board members that are employees or stakeholders of the organization.
-Outside directors are board members that are not employees or stakeholders of the organization but receive a fee to act as consultants that can provide objective opinions.
-Competitive directors are directors of a competitive sporting event that manage the key functions.
-Honorary directors are people that has worked in the past as Chief Executive Officer of a company and are allowed to go to all the board meetings but can't vote.
According to this, the answer is that these three board members do not have a direct management role with Microsoft and are therefore referred to as outside directors as they don't have a position on the organization or are stakeholders and they are part of the board of directors to provide different perspectives.
Agency conflicts between managers and shareholders An agency relationship can degenerate into an agency conflict when an agent acts in a manner that is not in the best interest of his or her principal. In business, these conflicts most frequently involve the enrichment of the firm's executives or managers (in the form of money and perquisites or power and prestige) at the expense of the shareholders. This usurping of shareholder wealth is most likely to occur when shareholders do not have sufficient information about the decisions and actions being made by the firm's management. Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists: Daniel owns Daniel's Tantalizing Tees, a T-shirt shop in a small college town in Kansas. With a staff of three part-time employees, Daniel operates the business in accordance with his personal goals, dreams, and capabilities.
Does Daniel have an agency conflict to deal with?
A. No; by having part-time, as opposed to full-time, employees, Daniel is prevented from experiencing an agency conflict.
B. Yes; as both the owner and operator of Daniel's Tantalizing Tees, Daniel has created the necessary agency relationship through which an agency conflict can exist.
C. No; as both the owner and operator of Daniel's Tantalizing Tees, Daniel has not created the necessary agency relationship through which an agency conflict can exist.
D. Yes; there is always an inherent conflict of interest between owners and operators (managers). Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists: Five years ago, Li created a plant-care business that grew, stocked, and maintained fresh plants in office buildings throughout Denver. Over time, The Green Zone Inc. (TGZ) has grown from a proprietorship into a corporation, now reaching far beyond Denver. To finance and support this growth, TGZ issued shares that were sold to TGZ employees, Li's family members, and selected outsiders. Li is TGZ's chairman of the board of directors and CEO, but he is no longer the largest shareholder. At the latest annual meeting, two mutually exclusive proposals were placed on the ballot for discussion and vote. The first was put forth by Li and TGZ's management team, and the second was proposed by a small group of other shareholders. Both groups are adamantly opposed to the other group's proposal, even though both proposals would likely have the same effect on TGZ's value and riskiness.
Does an agency conflict exist between TGZ's management and the small group of opposing shareholders?
A. Yes; an agency relationship exists, and an agency relationship always gives rise to agency conflicts, regardless of the actual behavior of the participants.
B. Yes; any conflict or disagreement between the firm's managers and its shareholders constitutes an agency conflict.
C. No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ's management-including Li as TGZ's chairman and CEO and the firm's shareholders-there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders' wealth has occurred.
D. No; Li was the original owner of TGZ, so he would always be sensitive to the concerns of the firm's current owners (shareholders) and would not engage in an agency conflict. For the past 40 years, companies have attempted to attract, retain, and encourage managers by developing attractive compensation packages. These compensation packages have also been intended to reduce potential agency conflicts between these managers and the firm's shareholders. In the best interest of shareholders, compensation packages should be structured in a way such that managers have an incentive to maximize the____value of the company's common stock price. Great Fortunes Baking Company's stockholders are mostly individual investors, and there is relatively little institutional ownership. If several pension and mutual funds were to take large positions in Great Fortunes Baking Company's stock, direct shareholder intervention would be likely to motivate the firm's management. Katz Investment Group's stock price is currently trading at $20 per share. The consensus among market analysts is that the stock should trade for $27.5 per share, given the amount, timing, and riskiness of the company's dividends. Is Katz Investment Group more or less likely to receive a hostile takeover bid?
1. Less likely
2. More likely
Answer:
1. C. No; as both the owner and operator of Daniel's Tantalizing Tees, Daniel has not created the necessary agency relationship through which an agency conflict can exist.
For an agency problem to exist, the owners and the managers must be two different sets of people. If they are the same person, then practically speaking, they cannot usurp their own wealth.
2. C. No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ's management-including Li as TGZ's chairman and CEO and the firm's shareholders-there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders' wealth has occurred.
Indeed there is an Agency relationship in effect because some shareholders are not in management. However, it cannot be said that there is a agency conflict because there is no evidence shown that shareholder wealth is being expropriated.
3. Intrinsic
The Intrinsic value of a stock is the value that an investor believes the stock is worth. A Manager should therefore get incentives that will inspire them to take investor perception of stock high. When this happens it increases shareholder wealth primarily through capital gain.
4 ... direct shareholder intervention would be more likely to motivate the firm's management.
Institutional Investors such as Pension and Mutual funds usually have more say in a company as they represent several shareholders and have expertise in the field. Should they get involved, their direct intervention would motivate the firm's management.
5. More likely
If investors believe that the stock should be trading for higher than it actually is, this is incentive to try to lay their hands on the stock to take advantage of this undervaluation. They would be able to offer the current shareholders more money than what it is currently worth which will most likely get them the shares they want. This is classified as a Hostile takeover.
DasGute, a not-for-profit (NFP) organization located in Frankfurt, Germany, directly solicited CoolSchool, an NFP university located in Westport, CT, to enter into an agreement to establish a branch campus of CoolSchool in Frankfurt called CoolNewSchool. CoolNewSchool is not a separate legal entity and will operate as adegree-granting branch campus of CoolSchool in Frankfurt with the intent to provide students the same level of undergraduate education that it provides to students enrolled at its main campus in Westport. DasGute has entered into similar agreements with other U.S. universities in fulfillment of its mission to develop human resources through highquality education and research in Frankfurt. The boards of directors for both DasGute and CoolSchool require that CoolNewSchool prepare stand-alone financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP to demonstrate that revenue and expenses of CoolNewSchool have been generated and incurred inaccordance with the operating budgets described below.Eddie V., the new controller of CoolNewSchool isn’t sure how to account for its formation under U.S. GAAP but has knowledge of NFP accounting principles, specifically whether an agreement should be accounted for as an exchange transaction or a contribution within the stand-alone financial statements.Case FactsResponsibilities of CoolSchoolThe agreement requires that CoolSchool be responsible for the following activities:(1) hiring and terminating of personnel (including the dean, who will function as the CEO of CoolNewSchool) (2) recruiting, admitting, and enrolling students; (3) designing and delivering the academic curriculum; (4) establishing and implementing operational policies and procedures (including compensation for employees and tuition rates for students); and (5) authorizing expenditures once a budget is approved.Responsibilities of DasGuteThe agreement requires that DasGute be responsible to (1) construct, own, furnish, and maintain the site; (2) bear the costs of the joint advisory board; and (3) fund all necessary expenditures for CoolNewSchool, as stipulated by the annual budget.Shared Responsibilities of CoolSchool and DasGuteA nine-member joint advisory board will be established, consisting of three appointed members by CoolSchool, three appointed members by DasGute, and three jointly appointed members. The joint advisory board does not have decision-making authority but will provide guidance on CoolNewSchool’s operations and final approval of the annual budget.Operating BudgetEach year, CoolNewSchool will develop an operating budget that is subject to approval by the joint advisory board. If an agreement is not reached on a proposed budget, the operating budget for the fiscal year in question will be based on the previous year’s budget. Any unresolved issue, whether related to the budget or any other matter, will be settled by arbitration.• Once the annual budget has been approved, CoolSchool has full expenditure authority for CoolNewSchool’s operating expenses. DasGute will reimburseCoolSchool for all expenditures incurred in accordance with the annual budget. In addition, DasGute will pay an annual management fee to CoolSchool.• While CoolSchool is responsible for tuition billing, DasGute is required to fundany shortfall between the tuition rates established for CoolNewSchool and theactual amounts paid by the students, to cover the annual budgeted operatingexpenses.Required:1. Determine whether CoolNewSchool represents an extension of DasGute orCoolSchool by identifying which entity exercises control of CoolNewSchool(analogous to the idea of control if consolidated financial statements wererequired) and from whose perspective (DasGute or CoolSchool) the controllingentity’s agreement should be analyzed as either an exchange transaction or acontribution.2. Does the agreement represent an exchange transaction (and therefore all tuitionamounts should be recorded as "Tuition Revenue") or a contribution (andtherefore the amounts received from DasGute in the form of tuition subsidiesshould be recorded as "Cont?
Answer:
DasGute, a not-for-profit (NFP), Frankfurt / CoolSchool, Westport, CT, and CoolNewSchool, Frankfurt
1. Determination of Control:
DasGute exercises control over CoolNewSchool. CoolSchool is just in a management consultancy position.
It is from DasGute's perspective that the controlling entity's agreement should be analyzed as a contribution transaction. It is not an exchange transaction.
2. Determination of Exchange and Consideration Transactions: In an exchange transaction, there will be consideration for the parties, especially DasGute and CoolSchool. The facts do not support an exchange transaction. The IFAC definition do not support an exchange transaction. The FASB ASC 958-605 rules and FASB ASU 2018-08 update do not support an exchange transaction.
3. Therefore, the amount received from DasGute in the form of tuition subsidies should be recorded as "Contribution Revenue."
Explanation:
a) International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) define exchange transactions, thus: "Exchange transactions are transactions in which one entity receives assets or services, or has liabilities extinguished, and directly gives approximately equal value (primarily in the form of cash, goods, services, or use of assets) to another entity in exchange."
b) The FASB ASC 958-605 provides guidance for contribution and exchange transactions. "The indicators to use to determine whether a contribution should be recorded as a contribution transaction or an exchange transaction are:
1. What is the recipient nonprofit’s intent in soliciting the asset?
a) Soliciting the asset as a contribution – contribution transaction
b) Seeking resources in exchange for specified benefits – exchange transaction
2. What is the resource provider’s expressed intent about the purpose of the asset to be provided by the recipient nonprofit?
a) Provider is making a donation to support the nonprofit’s programs – contribution
b) Provider is transferring resources in exchange for specific benefits – exchange
3. What is the method of delivery by recipient nonprofit to third-party recipients?
a) At the discretion of the recipient nonprofit – contribution
b) Specified by the resource provider – exchange
4. What is the method of determining the amount of the contribution?
a) Resource provider determines amount – contribution
b) Amount contributed equals the value of the assets to be provided by the recipient nonprofit, or the assets’ cost plus markup – exchange
5. Are there penalties assessed if the nonprofit fails to make timely delivery of assets?
a) Recipient nonprofit not penalized for nonperformance – contribution
b) Recipient nonprofit penalized for nonperformance – exchange
6. To whom will the recipient nonprofit deliver the assets?
a) Delivered to individuals or organizations other than the resource provider – contribution
b) Delivered to the resource provider or to individuals or organizations closely connected to the resource provider – exchange"
c) FASB ASU 2018-08 update, Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made, explains clearly when revenue is exchange versus contribution:
"The first step in determining the accounting is determining who is paying the money and who, if anyone, is getting goods or services from the transaction.
If the nonprofit gets funds from a payor and provides that payor direct, commensurate value in return, that is an exchange transaction. An example would be when you purchase a training class from your membership organization; you are paying the value of what you are receiving.
If the nonprofit gets funds from a payor and no value is paid out to anyone at that time, that is clearly a contribution.
If the nonprofit gets funds from a payor, such as the federal government, with the purpose of the nonprofit providing the goods and services to a third party, the general public or a subsegment thereof, that is also a contribution. When the general public, or someone other than the payor, receives the goods or services, it is a contribution."
Hank Itzek manufactures and sells homemade wine, and he wants to develop a standard cost per gallon. The following are required for production of a 50-gallon batch.
2,400 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.01 per ounce
54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.50 per pound
60 lemons at $0.80 each
100 yeast tablets at $0.21 each
100 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each
3,700 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce
Hank estimates that 4% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used.
Compute the standard cost of the ingredients for one gallon of wine.
Answer:
total $3.36
Explanation:
required for producing 50 gallons of wine:
2,400 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.01 per ounce = $24 / 50 = $0.48 x 1.04 = $0.50
54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.50 per pound = $27 / 50 = $0.54 x 1.1 = $0.59
60 lemons at $0.80 each = $48 / 50 = $0.96 x 1.25 = $1.20
100 yeast tablets at $0.21 each = $21 / 50 = $0.42
100 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each = $14 / 50 = $0.28
3,700 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce = $18.50 / 50 = $0.37
Hank estimates that 4% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used.
total standard cost per gallon:
grape concentrate = $0.50granulated sugar = $0.59lemons = $1.20yeast tablets = $0.42nutrient tablets = $0.28water = $0.37total $3.36A business received an offer from an exporter for 10,000 units of product at $13.50 per unit. The acceptance of the offer will not affect normal production or domestic sales prices. The following data are available: Domestic unit sales price $21 Unit manufacturing costs: Variable 12 Fixed 5 What is the amount of the gain or loss from acceptance of the offer
Answer:
Effect on income= $15,000 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A business received an offer from an exporter for 10,000 units for $13.50 per unit.
Unit manufacturing costs:
Variable 12
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Effect on income= number of units*unitary contribution margin
Effect on income= 10,000*(13.5 - 12)
Effect on income= $15,000 increase

Nick contracts for the sale of this year's strawberry crop to Phoenix, with payment to go to Rural Cooperative Association. The contract reserves to Nick and Phoenix the right to modify its terms. Rural Cooperative's right to payment is
Answer:
Subject to any change That Phoneix and Nick make
Explanation:
Since in the question, it is given that the contracts reserve the right to change or modify the term of the contract between the Nick and Phoenix and the payment is go to Rural Cooperative Association
Therefore the right to payment reflects the changes that made by Phoneix and Nick as the contract allows to make any modification or changes to the contract terms

ABC Corporation has E & P of $240,000. It distributes land with a fair market value of $70,000 (adjusted basis of $25,000) to its sole shareholder, Paul. The land is subject to a liability of $55,000 that Paul assumes. Paul has: A
a. Taxable dividend of $15,000.
b. A taxable dividend of $25,000.
c. A taxable dividend of $45,000.
d. A taxable dividend of $70,000.
e. A basis in the machinery of $55,000
Answer: Paul has a taxable dividend of $15,000.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that ABC Corporation has E & P of $240,000 and distributes land with a fair market value of $70,000 (adjusted basis of $25,000) to its sole shareholder, Paul. We are further informed that the land is subject to a liability of $55,000.
The taxable dividend will be the difference between the fair market value of land and the liability on the land. This will be:
= $70,000 - $55,000
= $15,000
Therefore, Paul has a taxable dividend of $15,000.
You are the project manager for a cable service provider. Your project team is researching a new service offering. They have been working together for quite sometime and are in the performing stage of Team Development. A new member has been introduced to the team. Which of the following is true?
A. The team will start all over again at the storming stage but quickly progress to the performing stage.
B. The team will continue in the performing stage.
C. The team will start all over again with the storming stage.
D. The team will start all over again with the forming stage.
Answer:
D. The team will start all over again with the forming stage.
Explanation:
Stages of team development are the various stages through which a group passes from formation to dissolution. These stages are important because it helps a manager identify the unique challenges his team is facing per time and various solutions to them.
The stages of team development are:
- Forming
- Storming
- Norming
- Performing
- Adjourning
If a team member joins a team, the team will start over from the forming phase because he will have to get used to his new team mates. He will undergo storming when there will be conflict between coworkers.
Next he will undergo norming when team members accept one another.
Performing when team works optimally to achieve set goals.
Finally the adjourning phase where team is disbanded
Oriole Company had sales of $392000, variable costs of $192000, and direct fixed costs totaling $97000. The company’s operating assets total $809000, and its required return is 10%. How much is the residual income?
Answer:
Residual Income = $ 22,100
Explanation:
Residual income is the excess of the controllable profit over the opportunity cost of capital invested.
It is computed as follows:
Residual income = Controllable profit - (cost of capital× operating assets)
Controllable profit = 392,000 - 192,000- 97,000 = $103,000
Residual income = 103,000 - (10%× 809,000)= 22,100
Residual Income = $ 22,100
Assume a Cobb-Douglas production function of the form: q equals 10 Upper L Superscript 0.33 Baseline Upper K Superscript 0.75. What type of returns to scaleLOADING... does this production function exhibit?
Answer:
Since 0.33 + 0.75 = 1.08 is greater than one, this production function therefore exhibits increasing returns to scale.
Explanation:
From the question, we have the following restated equation:
[tex]q=10L^{0.33} K^{0.75}[/tex]
Where q is the output, and L and K are inputs
To determine the types of returns to scale, we increase each of L and K inputs by constant amount c as follows:
[tex]q = 10(cL)^{0.33}(cK)^{0.75}[/tex]
We can now solve as follows;
[tex]q = 10c^{0.33+0.75} L^{0.33}K^{0.75}[/tex]
[tex]q=c^{1.08} L^{0.33} K^{0.75}[/tex]
Since 0.33 + 0.75 = 1.08 is greater than one, this production function therefore exhibits increasing returns to scale.
Grayille Financial Consultants, Inc. is planning to reduce the number of days it allows its clients to pay their bills from 45 days to 30 days. Grayille believes that this policy change will have no effect on either sales or costs. Any asset changes resulting from this new policy will be offset by a corresponding and equal change in equity. All else constant, this new collection policy should be expected to (circle all that apply - if the correct answer is a and b and you circle any letter(s) other than a and b, you will receive no credit - that is, no partial credit will be awarded for your answer to this question):
Answer: c. Lower the firm's quick ratio.
d. Lower the firm's current ratio.
Explanation:
Reducing the amount of time that clients have to pay will reduce the amount of Account Receivables as clients will no longer have long outstanding due dates. This reduction in Accounts Receivables will be felt by the Quick and Current ratios.
Quick Ratio formula
= [tex]\frac{Current Assets - Inventory}{Current Liabilities}[/tex]
Current Ratio Formula
= [tex]\frac{Current Assets}{Current Liabilties}[/tex]
As is evident from the formulas, Current Assets are integral to both ratios and as Accounts Receivables is a current asset that will be reduced, the current assets will be reduced and by extension both the Current and Quick Ratios will be reduced as well.
If a company uses a predetermined rate for absorbing manufacturing overhead, the volume variance is the: Group of answer choices a. Underapplied or overapplied variable cost element of overhead. b. Underapplied or overapplied fixed cost element of overhead. c. Difference in budgeted costs and actual costs of fixed overhead items. d. Difference in budgeted costs and actual costs of variable overhead items.
Answer: c. Difference in budgeted costs and actual costs of fixed overhead items.
Explanation:
If a company uses a Predetermined rate for Manufacturing Overhead this means that they have budgeted a certain cost of overhead that they believe will be sufficient for production. This is usually possible for fixed overhead items.
The Variance therefore would be the difference between this budgeted figure and the actual figure for the fixed Overhead items.
Molen Inc. has an outstanding issue of perpetual preferred stock with an annual dividend yield of 7.50% and a par value of $60. If the market value for the preferred stock is $70, what is the required return on this preferred stock?
Answer:
10.71%
Explanation:
The computation of the required rate of return on this preferred stock is shown below :
The Required return on preferred stock is
= Dividend ÷ market value of preferred stock
= 7.50 ÷ $70
= 10.71%
By dividing the dividend from the market value of preferred stock we can get the Required return on preferred stock and the same is to be considered
therefore we ignored the par value i.e $60 as this is not relevant
Answer:
$61.54
Hope this helps! good luck :)

If a gain of $221000 is realized in the cash sale of a building having a book value of $882000, the total amount reported in the cash flows from investing activities section of the statement of cash flows is
Answer:
$1,103,000
Explanation:
The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.
The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
For assets disposed, the amount received from the disposal is the amount recorded as an investing activity.
Amount received - Book value of asset = Gain on disposal
Amount received = $221000 + $882000
= $1,103,000
Choose the correct answers :
1. If the demand for product A displays high and postitive cross-price elasticity with respect to the price of product B, then:
a. the demand for product A is likely to have a low price elasticity
b. product A and B are subtitutes
c. products A and B are complements
d. the demand for product B is likely to have a low price elasticity
2. Fast food is believed to be an inferior good. This means that:
a. the quantity of fast food consumed decreases as income increases
b. the income elasticity of demand for fast food is positive
c. The quantity of fast food consumed will always be high
d. fast food is really not quality food
Answer:
b. product A and B are subtitutes
a. the quantity of fast food consumed decreases as income increases
Explanation:
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.
Cross price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded of good A / percentage change in price of good B.
The cross price elasticity of substitute goods are always positive because if the price of good B increases, the Quanitity demanded of good A rises.
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
Complement goods are goods that are used together. E.g. car and gas
Inferior goods are goods whose demand increases when income falls and whose demand falls when income rises.

Clemmens Company applies overhead based on direct labor cost. Estimated overhead and direct labor costs for the year were $112,500 and $125,000, respectively. During the year, actual overhead was $107,400 and actual direct labor cost was $120,000. The entry to close the over- or underapplied overhead at year-end, assuming an immaterial amount, would include:
Answer:
Estimated Over head applied = ($112500 / $125000) *100 = 90% of Direct labor cost.
Thus, Actual Over Head applied = 90% of $120000 = $108000
Moreover, Actual Over Head incurred = $107400
Therefore, Overhead Over-applied is to be applied as the Actual Overhead applied is higher than the Actual Overhead Incurred
Overhead Over-applied = $108000 - $107400
Overhead Over-applied = $600
The entry to close the over-applied overhead at year-end would include:
i. Over-head A/c will be debited for $600
ii. Cost of goods sold will to be credited for $600
A government has the following liabilities at the end of the year: General obligation bonds Compensated absences Salaries payable $1,500,00 120,000 40,000 What amount of liabilities should be reported in the governmental activities column of the government-wide statement of net position
Answer:
What should be reported is $1660000
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Thus
General obligation bonds=$1,500000

Therefore, the amount $1660000 should be reported in the governmental activities column of the government-wide statement of net position.
An investor is considering the purchase of a residential rental property that has an asking price of $400,000. The property has four rental units that are expected to rent for $1,200 each per month. Operating expenses and vacancy allowances are expected to be 45% of gross income. An 5% interest only mortgage loan is available for 5 years at 100% of the purchase price. How much cash income will the investor receive each month of the first year after paying the monthly mortgage payment
Answer:
The answer is $973
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
A residential rental property asking price = $400,000
Property expected to rent = $1200
Operating expenses expected = 45%
Interest =5%
Mortgage loan available for =5 years
Purchase price =100%
Now, we find out the cash income the investor receive each month of the first year after paying the monthly mortgage payment
Thus
Rental income (1200*4 units)=$4800
Less: operating expenses (4800*45%)=$2160
The Net income per month=$2640
So,
Less:Monthly mortgage interest payment=$1667 [(400000*5%)
=20000/12=1667]
The Cash income =$973
Therefore the investor will receive $973 each month of the first year.
Sexton Corp. has current liabilities of $510,000, a quick ratio of .93, inventory turnover of 6.9, and a current ratio of 1.5. What is the cost of goods sold for the company?
Answer:
The cost of goods sold for the company is $2,005,830.
Explanation:
This can be calculated from the available information using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculation of Current Assets
To do this, we use the current ratio formula as follows:
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Substituting the values in the question into the equation above and solve for Current Assets, we have:
1.5 = Current Assets / $510,000
Current Assets = $510,000 * 1.5 = $765,000
Step 2: Calculation of Inventory
To do this, we use the Quick Ratio formula as follows:
Quick ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities
Substituting the values in the question and from Step 1 into the equation above and solve for Inventory, we have:
0.93 = ($765,000 - Inventory) / $510,000
0.93 * $510,000 = $765,000 - Inventory
$474,300 = $765,000 - Inventory
$474,300 + Inventory = $765,000
Inventory = $765,000 - 474,300 = $290,700
Note that this inventory of $290,700 is the ending inventory.
Step 3: Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold
To do this, we use the Inventory Turnover formula as follows:
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory
Note that average Average Inventory is the addition of the beginning and closing inventory divided by 2. But since the beginning inventory is not available, the practice is to use the ending inventory in place of the average inventory. This is what we do here below.
Substituting the values in the question and from Step 2 into the equation above and solve for Cost of goods sold, we have:
6.9 = Cost of goods sold / $290,700
Cost of goods sold = 6.9 * $290,7000 = $2,005,830
Therefore, the cost of goods sold for the company is $2,005,830.
A group of investors has formed SandInn Corporation to purchase a small hotel. The price is $200,000 for the land and $800,000 for the hotel building. If the purchase takes place in June, com- pute the MACRS depreciation for the first three calendar years. Then assume the hotel is sold in June of the fourth year, and compute the MACRS depreciation in that year also.
Answer:
1. Land is not to be depreciated under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) depreciation schedule.
The Building however will be depreciated over a period of 39 years as it is considered an place of business and not a residential property.
The depreciation for such assets is 1.3% in year 1 and 40, and 2.6% for the years in-between.
Year 1 = 1.3% * 800,000
= $10,400
Year 2 = 2.6% * 800,000
= $20,800
Year 3 = 2.6% * 800,000
= $20,800
The total for the first 3 years is,
= 10,400 + 20,800 + 20,800
= $52,000
2. Depreciation in Year 4
= 800,000 * 2.6%
= $20,800
Preferred stock valuation TXS Manufacturing has an outstanding preferred stock issue with a par value of $68 per share. The preferred shares pay dividends annually at a rate of 9%. a. What is the annual dividend on TXS preferred stock? b. If investors require a return of 4% on this stock and the next dividend is payable one year from now, what is the price of TXS preferred stock? c. Suppose that TXS has not paid dividends on its preferred shares in the past two years, but investors believe that it will start paying dividends again in one year. What is the value of TXS preferred stock if it is cumulative and if investors require a(n) 4% rate of return?
Answer:
a. Annual dividend on TXS preferred stock is $6.12 per share.
b. The price of TXS preferred stock is $153 per share.
c. The value of TXS preferred stock if it is cumulative and if investors require a(n) 4% rate of return is $164.77 per share.
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
a. What is the annual dividend on TXS preferred stock?
The formula for calculating the annual dividend on preferred stock is given as follows:
Annual dividend on preferred stock = Par value of preferred stock * annual dividend rate
Since we have the following for TXS:
Par value of preferred stock = $68 per share
Annual dividend rate = 9%
Therefore, we have:
Annual dividend on preferred stock = $68 * 9% = $6.12 per share
Therefore, annual dividend on TXS preferred stock is $6.12 per share.
b. If investors require a return of 4% on this stock and the next dividend is payable one year from now, what is the price of TXS preferred stock?
The formula for calculating the price of preferred stock is given as follows:
Price of preferred stock = Dividend per share / Preferred stock required rate of return
Since for TXS, we have
Dividend per share = $6.12 per share
Preferred stock required rate of return = 4%, or 0.04
Therefore, we have:
Price of preferred stock = $6.12 / 0.04 = $153 per share
Therefore, the price of TXS preferred stock is $153 per share.
c. Suppose that TXS has not paid dividends on its preferred shares in the past two years, but investors believe that it will start paying dividends again in one year. What is the value of TXS preferred stock if it is cumulative and if investors require a(n) 4% rate of return?
Cumulative preferred stock implies that unpaid previous dividends can be carried forward as arrears to when the dividend is paid.
Since TXS has not paid dividends on its cumulative preferred shares in the past two years, but will start paying dividends again in one year implies that preferred stockholders will receive the dividends in arrears of one year together with the next dividend payment.
Based on this, we have
TXS preferred stock value = PV of two dividends + Preferred stock price
PV of two dividends = Present value of two dividends in arrears to paid now = M / (1 + r)^n
Where,
M = 2 * Annual dividend on TXS preferred stock = 2 * $6.12 = $12.24
r = 4%, or 0.04
n = 1 year
Therefore, we have:
PV of two dividends = $12.24 / (1 + 0.04)^1 = $11.77
Since from part b. preferred stock price is $153 per share, we therefore have:
TXS preferred stock value = $11.77 + 153 = $164.77 per share
Therefore, the value of TXS preferred stock if it is cumulative and if investors require a(n) 4% rate of return is $164.77 per share.
As per the question, the TXS company has outstanding preferred stock issues with a value that is parred USD 68 per share and prefers to pay the dividend at an annual rate of 9%.
Thus the yearly dividend of the TXS on preferred stock is a. total dividend on TXS stock is of $6.12 per share. If the investors gained four percent on this stock and next is made payable 1 year from now, then the prices of TXS stock will be $153/share. If the TXS is not being paid then the preferred share for the two-year period is total and if investors require at 4% rate of return which is at $164.77 per share.Learn more about the TXS Manufacturing has an outstanding.

Roman Mfg.'s July production involved actual direct labor costs of $41,514 for 3,400 direct labor hours. The budget for the July level of production called for 3,500 direct labor hours at $12.20 per hour, using a standard cost system.
1. Roman's labor rate variance for July is ____________
2. Roman's labor efficiency variance for July is _______________
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Roman Mfg.'s July production involved actual direct labor costs of $41,514 for 3,400 direct labor hours. The budget for the July level of production called for 3,500 direct labor hours at $12.20 per hour.
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (3,500 - 3,400)*12.2
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $1,220 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 41,514/3,400= $12.21
Direct labor rate variance= (12.20 - 12.21)*3,400
Direct labor rate variance= $34 unfavorable

A sinking fund is established by a working couple so that they will have $60,000 to pay for part of their daughter's education when she enters college. If they make deposits at the end of each 3-month period for 8 years, and if interest is paid at 10%, compounded quarterly, what size deposits must they make
Answer:
quarterly deposit= $12,460.99
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
FV= $60,000
Number of periods= 4*8= 32
i= 0.10/4= 0.025
To calculate the quarterly deposit required, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= quarterly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (60,000*0.025) / [(1.025^32) - 1]
A= 12,460.99
On 12/31/X4, Zoom, LLC, reported a $55,500 loss on its books. The items included in the loss computation were $27,000 in sales revenue, $12,000 in qualified dividends, $19,000 in cost of goods sold, $47,000 in charitable contributions, $17,000 in employee wages, and $11,500 of rent expense. How much ordinary business income (loss) will Zoom report on its X4 return
Answer:Ordinary Business income loss =-$20,500.
Explanation:
Ordinary business Expenses are the expenses generally accepted according to the industry standards associated with running of a business.
Here, the ordinary business expenses for Zoom include
cost of good sold= $19,-000
employee wages= $17,000
rent expense = $11,500 and therefore will be deducted from its sales revenue.
charitable contributions and qualified dividends, do not cut across all industries and so are not classified under Ordinary Buisness expences.
Ordinary Business income loss = Sales revenue - cost of good sold, -employee wages- rent expense.
$27,000- $19,000-$`17,000-$11,500= -$20,500. to be reported on its X4 return
