What amount of intra-entity gross profit should be deferred in 2021

Answers

Answer:

Amount of profit to be deferred =  $27,000

Explanation:

The intra-entity gross profit that needs to be deferred can be calculated as follows:

In 2021:

The amount of price on goods sold = $700,000

The actual cost price =    $520,000

Less:  $180,000

Amount of profit to be deferred = Profit × percentage of goods at the year-end (2021)

Vaughn Manufacturing has a materials price standard of $2.00 per pound. 4900 pounds of materials were purchased at $2.20 a pound. The actual quantity of materials used was 4900 pounds, although the standard quantity allowed for the output was 3700 pounds. Vaughn Manufacturing's materials quantity variance is

Answers

Answer:

$2,400 Unfavourable

Explanation:

Direct material quantity variance = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard cost

Given that:

Standard quantity = 3,700 pounds

Actual quantity = 4,900 pounds

Standard cost = $2

Therefore,

Direct materials quantity variance

= (3,700 - 4,900) × 2

= - $2,400

= $2,400 Unfavourable

The difference between the standard and actual quantity is negative. We used more pounds than expected, hence variance will be unfavourable.

On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 4 years and a salvage value of $20000 was purchased for $84000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation (2nd year)= $16,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $84,000

Salvage value= $20,000

Useful life= 4 years

To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (Purchase price - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (84,000 - 20,000) / 4

Annual depreciation= $16,000

a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $616,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $180,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $40,000.
b. b. A machine costs $440,000, has a $32,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $90,000 per year after straight-line depreciation. Assume the company requires a 12% rate of return on its investments.

Required:
Compute the net present value of each potential investment.

Answers

Answer:

a. Net present value = $539,013.67

b. Net present value = $273,361.47

Explanation:

a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $616,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $180,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $40,000.

Annual depreciation = (Expected machine cost – Predicted salvage value) / Number of useful life = ($616,000 - $40,000) / 6 = $96,000

Annual cash inflows = Annual incremental after-tax income + annual depreciation = $180,000 + $96,000 = $276,000

Present value of the annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * ((1 - [1 / (1 + required rate of return)]^Number of years) / required rate of return) = $276,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^6) / 0.12) = $276,000 * 4.11140732352233 = $1,134,748.42

Present value of predicted salvage value = Predicted salvage value / (1 + required rate of return)^Number of years = $40,000 / (1 + 0.12)^6 =  $20,265.24

Net present value = Present value of the annual cash inflow + Present value of predicted salvage value - Expected machine cost) = $1,134,748.42 + $20,265.24 - $616,000 = $539,013.67

b. A machine costs $440,000, has a $32,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $90,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Annual depreciation = (Machine cost – Salvage value) / Number of useful life = ($440,000 - $32,000) / 8 = $51,000

Annual cash inflows = Annual incremental after-tax income + annual depreciation = $90,000 + $51,000 = $141,000

Present value of the annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * ((1 - [1 / (1 + required rate of return)]^Number of years) / required rate of return) = $141,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^8) / 0.12) = $141,000 * 4.96763976683859 = $700,437.21

Present value of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + required rate of return)^Number of years = $32,000 / (1 + 0.12)^8 = $12,924.26

Net present value = Present value of the annual cash inflow + Present value of salvage value - Machine cost) = $700,437.21 + $12,924.26 - $440,000 = $273,361.47

Downtown Stores can issue equity at a flotation cost of 8.76 percent and debt at 5.93 percent. The firm currently has a debt-equity ratio of .37 but prefers a ratio of .35. What should this firm use as their weighted average flotation cost

Answers

Answer:

8.03%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

We know that

Total capital = Debt + Equity

= 0.35 + 1

= 1.35

Now  

Weight of debt(Wd) = Value of debt ÷ Total capital

= 0.35 ÷ 1.35

Weight of equity(We) = 1 ÷ 1.35

Now Weighted average flotation cost is:

= Flotation cost of equity × weight of equity + Flotation cost of debt × Weight of debt

= (8.76% × 1 ÷ 1.35) + (5.93% × 0.35 ÷ 1.35)

= 8.03%

A man wants to help provide a college education for his young daughter. He can afford to invest $1500/yr for the next 5 years, beginning on the girl 's 5th birthday. He wishes to give his daughter $10,000 on her 18th, 19th , 20th, and 21 st birthdays, for a total of $40,000. Assuming 6% interest, what uniform annual investment will he have to make on the girl's 9th through 17th birthdays?

Answers

Answer:

$1,919.69

Explanation:

when the daughter is 9 years old, total savings = $1,500 x 5.6371 (FVIFA, 6%, 5 periods) = $8,455.65

first 5 payments:

birthdays = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

the present value of the $40,000 that he needs for her daughter's college = $10,000 x 3.4651 (PVIFA, 6%, 4 periods) = $34,651

the FV until the 17th birthday = $8,455.65 x 1.06⁸ = $15,650.82

he needs to save = $34,651 - $15,650.82 = $19,000.18

value of annual deposits = $19,000.18 / 9.8975 (FVIFA, 6%, 8 peridos) = $1,919.69

Crane Company has 900 shares of 4%, $100 par cumulative preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2018. No dividends have been paid on this stock for 2017 or 2018. Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 totala) $400.b) $3600.c) $7200.d) $0.

Answers

Answer:

c) $7200

Explanation:

Preference dividends have preference when it comes to payment of dividends.

This means that we pay the Preference Stock holders their dividend (which is fixed) and there after the remainder is paid up to the Common Stockholders

Preference dividend = 900 shares x $100 x 4 % =  $3600

When Preference Stock is Cumulative, it means that all previous dividends in arrears have to be paid up before any current year distributions are made.

2018

Cumulative Preference dividend = $3600 (2017) + $3600 (2018) = $7200

therefore,

Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 total $7200

What amount of dividends will a preferred shareholder owning 100 shares receive in 2021 if FirstEnergy pays $1,000,000 in dividends

Answers

Answer: $2640

Explanation:

Based in the information given,

Par value of preferred stock = $110

Rate of dividend = 8%

Therefore, the preferred dividend per share will be:

= $110 × 8%

= $110 × 0.08

= $8.80

It should be noted that the cumulative dividend from 2019 to 2021 will be for 3 years. Therefore, the dividend to 100 preferred shareholder in 2021 will be:

= 100 × $8.80 × 3

Problem: Show the effects of the events on the fianncial statements using a horizontal statement model.

Answers

Answer:

The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:

Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the horizontal statement model showing the effects of the events on the financial statements.

The following calculations are made in the attached excel:

For Event 7, we have:

Office supplies = Amount of office supplies purchased - Office supplies remained on hand = $2,800 - $200 = $2,600

For Event 8, we have:

Amount of revenue that is recognized = Number of months from April 1 to December 31 * (Amount accepted on April 1 / Number of months in year) = 9 * ($36,000 /12) = 9 * $3,000 = $27,000

Also, the following can be obtained from the attached excel file:

Total assets = $51,600 + $200 = $51,800

Total liabilities = $400 + $9,000 = $9,400

Total Stockholders’ Equity = $42,400

Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $9,400 + $42,400 = $51,800

The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:

Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800

Analysts expect Placer Corp. to pay shareholders $2.25 per share annually for the next five years. After that, the dividend will be $3.50 annually forever. Given a discount rate of 12%, what is the value of the stock today

Answers

Answer:

$24.66

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the value of the stock today

First step is to calculate the PVP

PVP = $3.50 / .12

PVP= $29.17

Second step is to calculate the PV

PV = $29.17 / 1.125

PV= $16.55

Third step is to calculate the PVA

PVA = $2.25 {[1 - (1 / 1.125)] / .12}

PVA= $8.11

Now let calculate the value of the stock today

Using this formula

Price=PV+PVA

Let plug in the formula

Price = $16.55 + 8.11

Price= $24.66

Therefore the value of the stock today is $24.66

Last year "ABC" Company had $121646 of assets, $76058 of sales, $19170 of net income, and an equity multiplier of 1.81369. The new CFO believes the firm has excessive fixed assets and inventory that could be sold, enabling it to reduce its total assets to $99391, Sales, costs and net income would not be affected, and the firm would maintain the equity multiplier at the same level (1.81369). By how much would the reduction in assets will change the ROE value?

Answers

Answer:

ABC Company

The reduction in assets will change the ROE value by 6% increase, from 29% to 35%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Equity multiplier = total assets divided by stockholders equity

Last year's figures:

Assets = $121,646

Sales = $76,058

Net income = $19,170

Equity multiplier = 1.81369

Equity = Assets/Equity multiplier

= $67,071 ($121,646/1.81369)

Return on equity = $19,170/$67,071 * 100

= 28.6%

= 29%

New figures:

Assets reduced to $99,391

Sales = $76,058

Net income = $19,170

Equity multiplier = 1.81369

Equity = $54,800 ($99,391/1.81369)

Return on equity = $19,170/$54,800 * 100

= 35%

b) The reduction in assets changes the ROE value from 29% to 35%.
