Intricate Wiring Corp., based in Ohio, creates a brand new high-tech product. The demand for the product in the United States is high but very low or non-existent elsewhere. The company decides not to locate manufacturing facilities elsewhere and will simply meet the small foreign demand via exports. The theory that best explains the company's policy is

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:a. product life cycle theory.

Explanation:

The Product Life Cycle Theory was created to explain the International trade pattern of a new product. The theory attempts to show that when a product is first invented, its demand and production inputs such as capital and labor, come from the area it was invented in. As the product starts getting more recognised and it's demand increases elsewhere, it will start to export and then continue until it starts manufacturing in other areas to feed the demand of those areas as well.

Intricate Wiring Corp's new high-tech product is following this theory because it has just started out and so its demand is based in its country of origin being the United States. For as long as this is the case, the company should focus on producing in the United States until demand picks up substantially enough to produce elsewhere.

C. $9,430
D. $10,43

Answers

Answer:

The Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017 is $10,430

Explanation:

In order to calculate the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017 we would have to make the following calculation:

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017=Estimated Allowance 1-30 days+Estimated Allowance 31-60 days+Estimated Allowance 61-90 days+Estimated Allowance over 90 days

Estimated Allowance 1-30 days=Balance*% Uncollectible

Estimated Allowance 1-30 days=$152,000*1%=$1,520

Estimated Allowance 31-60 days=$87,000*2%=$1,740

Estimated Allowance 61-90 days=$50,000*3%=$1,500

Estimated Allowance over 90 days=$27,000*21%=$5,670

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017=$1,520+$1,740+$1,500+$5,670

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017=$10,430

According to the liquidity premium theory of the term structure of interest rates, if the one-year bond rate is expected to be 4%, 5%, and 6% over each of the next three years, what is the interest rate on a three-year bond if the liquidity premium on a three-year bond is 0.5%

Answers

Answer:

Interest rate on the a three year bond =5.5%

Explanation:

one-year bond rate expected = 4%, 5%, 6% for the next three years

liquidity premium on a three year bond = 0.5%

number of years = 3

The interest rate on the a three year bond can be calculated as

= liquidity premium + ( summation of bond rates for the next three years/number of years )

= 0.5 + ( (4+5+6)/3)

= 0.5 + ( 15/3)

= 0.5 + 5  = 5.5%

A. Determine the lot al two-year interest cost under each plan.
Interest Cost
Long term fixed-rate plan
Short term variable-rate
B. Which plan is less costly?
1. Long term fixed-rate plan
2. Short-term variable-rate plan

Answers

Answer:

A. Total two-year interest cost under long term fixed-rate plan is $195,800; while total two-year interest cost under short term variable-rate is $176,220.

B. Short-term variable-rate plan is less costly.

Explanation:

A. Determine the total two-year interest cost under each plan.

This can be determined for each of the plan as follows:

For Long term fixed-rate plan

Total two-year interest cost under long term fixed-rate plan = Amount required * Interest rate per year * Number of years = $890,000 * 11% * 2 = $195,800

For Short term variable-rate

First year interest cost under short term variable-rate = Amount required * First year interest rate = $890,000 * 7.25% = $64,525

Second year interest cost under short term variable-rate = Amount required * Second year interest rate = $890,000 * 12.55% = $111,695

Total two-year interest cost under short term variable-rate = First year interest cost + Second year interest cost = $64,525 + $111,695 = $176,220

Therefore, we have:

                                                         Interest Cost

Long term fixed-rate plan                   $195,800

Short term variable-rate                      $176,220

B. Which plan is less costly?

Since the total two-year interest cost under short term variable-rate of  $176,220 is less than $195,8000 total two-year interest cost under long term fixed-rate plan, the Short-term variable-rate plan is therefore less costly.

Rasheed works for Company A, earning $299,000 in salary during 2019. Assuming he is single and has no other sources of income, what amount of FICA tax will Rasheed pay for the year

Answers

Answer:

$13,466

Explanation:

For 2019, the wage limit for Social Security tax is $132900

Thus;

Social Security tax $132,900x 6.2% = $8,239.80

Medicare tax = $299,000 x 1.45% = $4335.50

Additional Medicare Tax ($299,000 - $200000) x 0.9% = $891

therefore,

Amount of FICA Tax = $8239.80 + $4335.50 + $891 = $13,466.30 which is approximately $13,466

12. A company has an EPS of $2.00, a book value per share of $20, and a market/book ratio of 1.2x. what is its P/E ratio

Answers

Answer:

P/E Ratio = 12x or 12 times

Explanation:

We know that the P/E ratio is calculated by dividing the price per share by the earnings per share or EPS.

P/E = Price per share / Earnings per share

We already have EPS. We need to calculate the price per share.

It is given that book value per share is $20 and the market to book ratio is 1.2x or 1.2 times. Using the formula for market to book ratio, we calculate the market price per share to be,

M/B = Market price per share / Book value per share

1.2 = Market price per share / 20

20 * 1.2 = Market price per share

Market price per share = $24

So, P/E ratio = 24 / 2

P/E Ratio = 12x or 12 times

Answers

Answer:

The residual dividend is -$200,000, therefore If the company follows a residual dividend policy the total dividends will be $0

Explanation:

In order to calculate the total dividends, if any, will it pay out, we would have to calculate first the residual dividend a follows:

residual dividend=forecasted net income-(percentage equity*capital budget)

According to the given data we have the following:

forecasted net income=$600,000

percentage equity=40%

capital budget=$2,000,000

Therefore, residual dividend=$600,000-(40%*$2,000,000)

residual dividend=-$200,000

The residual dividend is -$200,000, therefore If the company follows a residual dividend policy the total dividends will be $0

On September 30, 2011, Ireland discounted the note at Cloverdale bank. The bank's discount rate is 10%. What amount of cash did Ireland receive from Cloverdale Bank

Answers

Answer:

$39,220

Explanation:

The maturity value of the note receivable on June 30, 2012

= Principal + Interest

= $40,000 + $40,000 x 6%

= $40,000 + $2,400

= $ 42,400

The note is discounted on September 30, 2011. Time period remaining to go till maturity as on September 30, 2011

= 12 - 3 months ( July, Aug and Sep)

= 9 months.

Amount of deduction  

= $ 42,400 x 10% x 9/12

= $ 3,180

Finally, the Cash received by Ireland will be

= Maturity value - Discount

= $42,400 - $ 3,180

= $39,220

In addition, you’re told that the firm issued $4,800 in new equity during 2018 and redeemed $3,300 in outstanding long-term debt. a. What is the 2018 operating cash flow

Answers

Answer:

The 2018 operating cash flow is $86,100.

Explanation:

Operating Cash flow is different from Income as it only involves movement in cash.

Thus our first step is to find the Operating Income then adjust it with non-cash items to reach an Operating Cash flow amount.

Sales                             = $264,000

Less Costs                    = ($170,000)

Less Other expenses   =    ($7,900)

Depreciation expense =   ($14,500)

Operating Income        =     $71,600

Adjust for non-cash item - depreciation

Operating Income         =   $71,600

Add back depreciation =   $14,500

Operating Cash flow     =   $86,100

Interest expenses and taxes are not part of operating income as they arise out of secondary activities of the company.

Conclusion :

The 2018 operating cash flow is $86,100.

Perteet Corporation's relevant range of activity is 3,000 units to 7,000 units. When it produces and sells 5,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows:

Direct labor $3.25
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.60
Fixed manufacturing overhead $3.00
Fixed selling expense $0.70
Fixed administrative expense $0.40

a. $28,000
b. $14,800
c. $21,400
d. $18,100

Answers

Answer:

Total overhead cost= $21,400

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

When it produces and sells 5,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows:

Variable manufacturing overhead $1.60

Fixed manufacturing overhead $3.00

First, we need to calculate the total fixed manufacturing overhead:

Fixed overhead= 3*5,000= $15,000

Now, we can calculate the total overhead cost for 4,000 units.

Total overhead cost= total variable cost + total fixed cost

Total overhead cost= 1.6*4,000 + 15,000

Total overhead cost= $21,400

Which of the following is NOT an element of organizational structure? A) Well-articulated mission, vision, and value statements. B) Formal reporting relationships. C) Grouping together of individuals into departments. D) Systems designed to ensure effective communication

Answers

Answer:

A) Well-articulated mission, vision, and value statements.

Explanation:

An organizational structure can be defined as a system that states how business activities such as standard rules, task allocation or roles of employees, coordination, responsibilities and supervision of these activities are directed so as to enhance the achievement of the goals, aims and objectives of the organization.

Simply stated, an organizational structure usually defines a hierarchy, which is used to determine how information, roles and responsibilities flow from one level to another in an organization. Generally, the flow of information are usually from top to bottom.

Furthermore, the organizational structure can be divided into four (4) distinct categories and these are;

1. Matrix organizational structure.

2. Functional organizational structure.

3. Divisional organizational structure.

4. Flat organizational structure.

The following are the elements of organizational structure;

A. Formal reporting relationships. This is enhanced by assigning a hierarchy, where informations are reported to the right individual and in a timely manner as well.

B. Grouping together of individuals into departments. This is to increase the level of output and enhance building good, coordinated development through division of labor.

C. Systems designed to ensure effective communication.

Hence, a well-articulated mission, vision, and value statements isn't an element of organizational structure. It could be regarded as an organization's center of gravity.

An organizational structure is a system that specifies how business operations, such as standard norms, task distribution or personnel roles, coordination, responsibilities, and supervision, are directed in order to help the organization achieve its goals, aims, and objectives.

So, Option A is the correct option which is not true about organizational structure.

The other options are incorrect as:

Option B is incorrect as Relationships of formal reporting. This is aided by establishing a hierarchy in which information is reported to the appropriate person and in a timely manner.

Option C is incorrect as Individuals are organized into departments. This is to raise output and improve the development of good, coordinated development by dividing labor.

Option D is incorrect as yes designing system to ensure effective communication is element of organizational structure.

Thus option A isn't a part of the company's structure. It's possible to think of it as the organization's center of gravity.

Answers

Answer:

1. a. Total Salary Expense

= No. Of Employees * Hourly rate * Hours worked

= 100 * 20 * 40

= $80,000

b. Total Witholdings from Employee Salaries

This will include all Taxes.

= Federal Income Taxes + FICA Taxes + States Income Taxes

= (80,000 * 15%) + (80,000 * 7.65%) + (80,000 * 5%)

= 12,000 + 6,120 + 4,000

= $22,120

c. Actual Direct Deposit of Payroll.

This refers to the actual amount that will be paid to Employees.

= Total Salary Expense - Taxes

= 80,000 - 22,120

= $57,880

In practice, the gross income (wages or salaries) of an employee is entitled to some compulsory deductions such as States Taxes, Federal Taxes, Federal Payroll tax, Benefit, Insurance Etc.

Here, various information of Tax rate have been given, therefore, the computations of the requirement goes as follows

Total Salary Expense = Number Of Employees * Hourly rate * Hours worked

Total Salary Expense = 100 * $20 * 40

Total Salary Expense = $80,000

Total Withholding from Employee Salaries = Federal Income Taxes + FICA Taxes + States Income Taxes

Total Withholding from Employee Salaries = ($80,000 * 15%) + ($80,000 * 7.65%) + ($80,000 * 5%)

Total Withholding from Employee Salaries = $12,000 + $6,120 + $4,000

Total Withholding from Employee Salaries = $22,120

Actual Direct Deposit of Payroll = Total Salary Expense - Taxes

Actual Direct Deposit of Payroll = $80,000 - $22,120

Actual Direct Deposit of Payroll = $57,880

Factory Overhead Rate, Entry for Applying Factory Overhead, and Factory Overhead Account Balance The cost accountant for River Rock Beverage Co. estimated that total factory overhead cost for the Blending Department for the coming fiscal year beginning February 1 would be $3,150,000, and total direct labor costs would be $1,800,000. During February, the actual direct labor cost totaled $160,000, and factory overhead cost incurred totaled $283,900.

Required:
a. What is the predetermined factory overhead rate based on direct labor cost? Enter your answer as a whole percent not in decimals.
b. Journalize the entry to apply factory overhead to production for February.
c. What is the February 28 balance of the account Factory Overhead—Blending Department?
d. Does the balance in part (c) represent overapplied or underapplied factory overhead?

Answers

Answer:

a. 175%

b.

Journal Entry  to apply factory overhead to production for February.

Work In Process $280,000 (debit)

Overheads $280,000 (credit)

c. $3,900

d. Under-applied Overheads

Explanation:

Predetermined Overhead rate = Total Budgeted Overheads /Total Budgeted Activity

                                                   = $3,150,000 / $1,800,000

                                                   = $1.75 per direct labor cost.  or

                                                   = 175% (1.75 × 100)

Applied factory overhead = Predetermined Overhead rate × Actual Activity

                                           = $160,000 × 175 %

                                           = $280,000

Journal Entry  to apply factory overhead to production for February.

Work In Process $280,000 (debit)

Overheads $280,000 (credit)

over-applied or under-applied factory overhead

Over-applied Overheads = Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads

Under-applied Overheads = Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads

Actual Overheads (given) = $283,900

Applied Overheads = $280,000

Actual Overheads: $283,900 > Applied Overheads :$280,000

Thus we have an Under-application situation of $3,900 ($283,900 - $280,000)

Plan II would result in 14,000 shares of stock and $190,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 5 percent. Compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $90,000. The all-equity plan would result in 22,000 shares of stock outstanding. Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 40 percent, what is the EPS for each of these plans

Answers

Answer:

Gerrel Corp.

EPS (Earnings per share) = Earnings after Tax/Number of outstanding shares

Plan I:

EBIT =                    $90,000

Interest =                 $4,750 ($95,000 x 5%)

Pre-Tax Income = $85,250

Income Tax Exp.      34,100 ($85,250 x 40%)

After Tax Income  $51,150

EPS = $51,150/18,000 = $2.84 per share

Plan II:

EBIT =                    $90,000

Interest =                 $9,500 ($190,000 x 5%)

Pre-Tax Income = $80,500

Income Tax Exp.     32,200 ($80,500 x 40%)

After Tax Income  $48,300

EPS = $48,300/14,000 = $3.45 per share

Plan III:

EBIT =                    $90,000

Pre-Tax Income = $90,000

Income Tax Exp.     36,000 ($90,000 x 40%)

After Tax Income $54,000

EPS = $54,000/22,000 = $2.45 per share

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Plan I = 18,000 shares + $95,000 debt

Plan II = 14,000 shares + $190,000 debt

Difference = 4,000 shares + $95,000 debt

Share price = $95,000/4,000 = $23.75

EBIT = $90,000

Interest Rate = 5%

Corporate Tax Rate = 40%

b) Capital Structure:

Plan I: (Equity and Debt)

Shares of 18,000 x $23.75 + $95,000 debt = $522,500 in total capital

Plan II: (Equity and Debt)

Shares of 14,000 x $23.75 + $190,000 debt = $522,500 in total capital

Plan III: (All-equity plan):

Shares of 22,000 x $23.75 = $522,500 in total capital

c) The Earnings per share is the measurement of the Net Income to stockholders divided by the number of outstanding shares.  It gives an idea about the profitability of the entity, especially with regard to the profit made for common stockholders.  The EPS is also one of the metrics used in the calculation of the P/E ratio to indicate whether a company's shares are undervalued or overvalued.

Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm.

Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while.
