Perkins Company own 85% of Sheraton Company. Perkins Company sells merchandise to Sheraton Company at 20% above cost. During 2008 and 2009, such sales amounted to $450,000 and $486,000, respectively. At the end of each year, Sheraton Company had in its inventory one-third of the amount of goods purchased from Perkins during that year.
Prepare the workpaper entries necessary to eliminate the effects of the intercompany sales for 2008 and 2009.
Answer:
2008
Correct Overstatement
Cost of Sales $450,000 (debit)
Revenue $450,000 (credit)
Correct Unrealized Profit in Inventory
Cost of Sales $25,000 (debit)
Inventory $25,000 (credit)
2009
Adjustments of Opening Balances
Retained Earnings $25,000 (debit)
Cost of Sales $25,000 (credit)
Correct Overstatement
Cost of Sales $486,000 (debit)
Revenue $486,000 (credit)
Correct Unrealized Profit in Inventory
Cost of Sales $27,000 (debit)
Inventory $27,000 (credit)
Explanation:
The Sale of merchandise by Perkins Company (Parent) to Sheraton Company (Subsidiary) is an Intragroup transaction since the companies form a group.
This results in the Cost of Goods Sold and Revenue being overstated for each intra-sale transaction and an unrealized profit resulting in the inventory that has not been sold at the end of the period.
The above are the necessary adjustments that are required to correct the overstatement and unrealized profits.
People decide to save 20 percent of their incomes. The value of the marginal propensity to consume is ________ and the value of the spending multiplier is ________.
Answer: 0.8; 5
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that people decide to save 20 percent of their incomes. We should note that the addition of the marginal prospensity to consume(MPC) and the marginal prospensity to save(MPS) will be equal to 1.
Therefore, the value of the marginal propensity to consume will be:
= 1 - 20%
= 1 - 0.2
= 0.8
The value of the spending multiplier will be calculated as:
= 1/MPS
= 1/0.2
= 5

A small ice cream business earns $26538 profit during the two months of July and August. This represents 35% of the annual profit. Find the annual profit. Round to the nearest whole number.
Let the annual profit be x.
profit earned in July and August is 35% of the annual profit
=> $26538 = 35% of x
=> $26538 = (35/100) × x
=> $26538 × (100/35) = x
=> $2653800/35 = x
=> $530760/7 = x
So, the profit is $530760/7.
The annual profit is $75,823.
Given that,
Two months profit is $26,538.This two month profit represents 35% of annual profit.We need to find annual profit.According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

In which of the following situations would a delegation of contractual duties be allowed? Multiple Choice A painter hired to paint your home. A sculptor hired to sculpt your bust. An actor hired to perform in a play. A surgeon performing brain surgery.
Answer:
A painter hired to paint your home.
Explanation:
Delegation of contractual duty occurs when the individual that is supposed to perform a task transfers the responsibility of performing the task to another person.
For example if someone is supposed to paint a house but he has other engagements. He can delegate to another painter to perform the painting.
Delegation does not transfer contractual rights as the original person still collects payment for performance of the task.
Usually delegation can occur for tasks that do not require special skill and can be performed by anyone.
In the other scenarios special skill is required so delegation will not be usually allowed.

Answer:
Current ratio and Acid-test ratio (3.15 and 0.80)
Explanation:
Note: The missing part of the question is "Using the following year-end information for Bauman, LLC, calculate the current ratio and acid-test ratio:"
i. Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
Current assets = 38,600 + 9,000 + 40,000 + 240,000 + 17,400
Current assets = $345,000
Current liabilities= 87,200 + 22,300
Current liabilities = $109,500
Current ratio = $345,000 / $109,500
Current ratio = 3.15
ii. Acid-test ratio = {Current assets - (Inventory + Prepaid expenses)}/Current liabilities
Acid-test ratio = 345,000- (240,000 + 17,400 ) / 109,500
Acid-test ratio = 87,600 / 109,500
Acid-test ratio = 0.80
g An arbitrage opportunity arises when... Group of answer choices An investment has a high risk-return ratio. disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit the risk-free rate generates a positive alpha. a net investment is taken place within a portfolio
Answer:
disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit
Explanation:
Arbitrage is defined as the practice where there is simultaneous buying and selling of an asset so as to benefit from a price difference.
Usually the price differences occur in different markets, so the arbitrator acts as a supplier of the goods to market where goods are to be sold.
For example if a company buys fertiliser from a whole seller and immediately sells the goods to a farmer's cooperative at higher price this is arbitrage.
So abitrage opportunity is when disparity between 2 or more prices allow investors to yield a sure profit

The advantages of using typedef do not include:a. Making programs more portable by allowing data types to be easily changed to meet system specifications.b. Making type names shorter.c. Making programs more readable.d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Answer:
d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.
Explanation:
In the programming language C and C++ there is a keyword i.e typedef that function is to provide a new name. It is to be used to develop an extra name for the other data type but it does not develop a new data type
Here the advantage of using typedef is as follows
1. It allows the data types for meeting the specifications of the system
2. The name would become shorter
3. Readable program
but it does not increase the efficiency
Hence, the last option is correct
You have risen through the ranks of a coffee comany, from the lowly green-apron barista to the coveted black apron, and all the way to CFO. A quick internet check shows that your company's beta is 0.6. The risk-free rate is 4.1% and you believe the market risk premium to be 5.2%. What is your best estimate of investors' expected return on your company's stock (its cost of equity capital)?
Answer:
The cost of equity capital or expected rate of return is 7.22%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return or the required rate of return is the minimum rate of return required by the investors to invest in a stock or a portfolio of stock based on the systematic risk that a stock carries as represented by a stock's beta. The expected rate of return (r) of a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The CAPM equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketr = 0.041 + 0.6 * 0.052
r = 0.0722 or 7.22%
Suppose the Federal Reserve purchases $1,000,000 worth of foreign assets.
a. if the Federal Reserve purchases the foreign assets with 51,000,000 in currency, show the effect of this open market operation, using T-accounts. What happens to the monetary base?
b. if the Federal Reserve purchases the foreign assets by selling 51,000,000 in T-bills, show the effect of this open market operation, using T-accounts. What happens to the monetary base?
Answer:
A. Federal Reserve
Assets Liabilities
Foreign Assets $1,000,000 Currency in circulation $51,000,000
The federal liabilities increase by $51,000,000 in currency because it uses that money to purchase foreign assets which increase the foreign assets category by an equivalent amount. The monetary base is defined as the sum of currency circulating in the public and commercial banks reserve with the central bank
Since, the currency in circulation has increased. Thus, the monetary base will increase by $51,000,000
B. Federal Reserve
Assets Liabilities
Securities T-bill - $51,000,000
Foreign Assets $1,000,000
The federal is basically swapping T-bills with foreign assets. It did not use currency to make this purchase and the composition of assets changes, but the total does not.
Thus, the monetary base does not change
Dunstreet’s Department Store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out. To illustrate your recommended procedure, use as an example the ordering policy for white percale sheets.
Demand for white percale sheets is 5,000 per year. The store is open 365 days per year. Every two weeks (14 days) inventory is counted and a new order is placed. It takes 10 days for the sheets to be delivered. Standard deviation of demand for the sheets is five per day. There are currently 150 sheets on hand.
How many sheets should you order?
Answer:
The number of sheets you should order is 219 sheets.
Explanation:
Before we can determine the number sheets to order, we need to first calculate the targeted number of sheet as follows:
TN = DD * (LT + RT) + z + SDD * [tex]\sqrt{LT + RT}[/tex] .......................... (1)
Where;
TN = Targeted number of sheets = ?
DD = Daily demand = 5,000 / 365 = 13.70
LT = Lead time = 10
RT = Review time or stock taking time = 14
SDD = Standard Deviation of Daily Demand = 5
z = 1.64
Note: Since Dunstreet’s Department Store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out, the z is determined by just typing the function =NORM.S.INV(0.95) in the Microsoft Excel to obtain the 1.64.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
TN = 13.70 * (10 + 14) + 1.64 * 5 * [tex]\sqrt{10+14}[/tex]
TN = 369 approximately
Since there are currently 150 sheets on hand, the number of sheets you should order can be determined as follows:
Number of sheet to order = TS - Number of sheets on hand = 369 - 150 = 219 sheets
Therefore, the number of sheets you should order is 219 sheets.
Answer:
219 sheets
Explanation:
The computation of the number of sheets ordered is computed by applying the following formula
Number of sheets ordered is
= Average daily demand × (Lead time + time taken) + Service probability × standard deviation in lead time - present inventory level
where,
Standard deviation in lead time is
= [tex]\sqrt{10+14(5)}[/tex]
= 24.49
And, the service probability level could be find out by applying the =NORMSINV(0.95) in excel so the value of z is 1.64
And, all other things would remain the same
= 5,000 ÷ 365 days × (10 + 14) + (1.64) (24.49) - 150
= 219 sheets
What is the relationship between total surplus and economic efficiency?
Answer: When total surplus gets maximized, then economy meet economic efficiency.
Explanation:
Economic efficiency is described as a thinking that there is one possible way to make situation better by imposing a cost on another.
Total surplus is described as the sum of producer and consumer surplus.
It gets maximized in a perfect competition (hit free-market equilibrium).
i.e. It gets maximized when both consumer and producer surplus is maximum, and then the economy meet economic efficiency.
A project requires an investment of $10 million and offers an annual after-tax cash flow of $1,250,000 indefinitely. If the firm's WACC is 12.5% and the project is riskier than the firm's average projects, should it be accepted?
Answer:
No.It should not be Accepted.
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the minimum return that is expected from a project. It shows the risk of the entity. If a project gives a return below the WACC, it is regarded as very risk and must not be accepted.
The calculation of WACC involves calculating the weighted average of the required rates of return on debt and equity, where the weights equal the percentage of each type of financing in the firm's overall capital structure.
_________ is the symbol that represents the cost of preferred stock in the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) equation.
Bryant Co. has $2.3 million of debt, $1.5 million of preferred stock, and $1.8 million of common equity. What would be its weight on common equity?
A. 0.32
B. 0.24
C. 0.22
D. 0.30
Answer:
Option A is the correct answer
Weight of equity =0.32
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund.
The weight is the market value of nominal value of the source of fund as a proportion of the total capital funds.
Total capital funds = Debt funds + Preferred Funds + Equity funds
= ($2.3 + $1.5 + $1.8 ) million = $5.6 million
Weight of equity = Equity capital/Total capital funds
= 1.8/5.6 =0.32
Weight of equity =0.32
During 2018, its first year of operations, Pave Construction provides services on account of $126,000. By the end of 2018, cash collections on these accounts total $93,000. Pave estimates that 20% of the uncollected accounts will be bad debts. Required: a. Record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts on December 31, 2018.b. Calculate the net realizable value of accounts receivable.
Answer: Please see answer in the explanation column
Explanation:
Account receivables = Total account - cash collections
$126,000 -- $93,000
= $33,000
Uncollectible Accounts = 20% x 33,000 = $6,600
a) Journal to record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts
Date Account Debit Credit
Dec 31, 2018 Bad debts expense $6,600
Allowance for uncollectible accounts $6,600
B) net realizable value of accounts receivable= Total Accounts Receivable - Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= $33,000 - $6,600= $26400
Suppose a good has a downward-sloping, straight-line demand curve. If the price elasticity of demand is 2.5 when the price is $10 per unit, then the price elasticity of demand when the price is $7 per unit could be a. approaching infinity. b. 2.7. c. 2.5. d. 1.7.
Answer:
c. 2.5
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
the price elasticity would not change as a result of the change

Ballpark has shares of par common stock outstanding. Ballpark announces a stock split of for1. What is the effect of the split?
Answer:
The answer is 'it increases the number of shares outstanding'
Explanation:
Stock split increases the number of shares outstanding. It causes dilution of earnings per share.
For example, ABC Inc. has 50,000 shares outstanding and it announces a stock split of 3-for- 1.
This means that any shareholder that has 1 will exchange that 1 share for 3 shares. So at the end of the stock split the total number of shares outstanding will be 150,000 shares (50,000 x 3)
Byrd Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 205,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 125,000 shares of stock outstanding and $1.73 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 8 percent and there are no taxes. a. Use MM Proposition I to find the price per share. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the value of the firm under each of the two proposed plans? ((Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
a) $21.63
b) $4,433,125
Explanation:
plan I, total stocks outstanding = 205,000
plan II, total stocks outstanding = 125,000, and $1,730,000 in debt ($1,730,000 x 8% = $138,400 in interests)
under MM proposition I, a firm's total value is equal whether it uses external financing (debt) or not:
205,000P₀ = 125,000P₀ + $1,730,000
205,000P₀ - 125,000P₀ = $1,730,000
80,000P₀ = $1,730,000
P₀ = $1,730,000 / 80,000 = $21.625 = $21.63
the firm's total value = $21.625 x 205,000 = $4,433,125

= 6,444 + 6,444
= 13,288
And, the other method is
= 6,444 × 2
= 13,288
In both the methods, the answer would remain the same
Hence, the 13,288 should be produced by the industry for the next year production

Using the same information from before, please calculate the WACC of Correct Inc. assuming a risk free rate of 2.5%, a company Beta of 1.2 and a market risk premium of 6%.
Answer:
WACC = 21.7%
Explanation:
The firm is an all-equity finance firm which implies that the company uses only equity funds to finance its its operation without the use of debt. Therefore, the cost of the equity of the firm would be the same as its cost of capital (WACC)
The WACC can be determined using the the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). The CAPM relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c
Using the CAPM , the required rate of return is given as follows:
E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
E(r) - required return
β- Beta
Rm- Return on market
Rf- Risk-free rate
Rm-Rf- Market risk premium
DATA
E(r) =? , Rf- 2.5%, Rm-Rf- 6% , β- 1.2
E(r) = 2.5% + 1.2× (16%) = 21.7 %
Cost of equity = 21.7%
WACC = 21.7%
