Answer:
$198,900
Explanation:
Ending inventory units = Available units for sale - Units sold
Ending inventory units = 220 + 320 + 420 + 260
Ending inventory units = 1,220.
Units sold = 1,050.
Ending inventory units = 1,220 - 1,050
Ending inventory units = 170
As per the FIFO cost flow assumption, sales comprise of units from beginning inventory and earlier purchases. Hence, ending inventory comprises units from latest purchases.
So, ending inventory of 170 units would be valued at the price from 10/15 purchases.
10/15 purchase price per unit = $1,170
Ending inventory value = 170 units x $1,170
Ending inventory value = $198,900

A certain company just announced it will cut next year's dividends from $4 to $2.50 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior to the announcement, the company's dividends were expected to grow at a 4% rate, and its share price was $50. With the planned expansion, the company's dividends are expected to grow at a 6% rate. What share price (in dollars) would you expect after the announcement
Answer:
P0 = $41.6666666 rounded off to $41.67
Explanation:
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
D1 is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year
g is the constant growth rate in dividends
r is the discount rate or required rate of return
We first need to calculate the required rate of return for this company based on the previous growth rate, dividend and current share price prior to announcement.
50 = 4 / (r - 0.04)
50 * (r - 0.04) = 4
50r - 2 = 4
50r = 4 + 2
r = 6 / 50
r = 0.12 or 12%
Now using the post announcement data, the new share price will be,
P0 = 2.5 / (0.12 - 0.06)
P0 = $41.6666666 rounded off to $41.67
The Acme Toy Company introduced a new electric train, the Silver Bullet, in its Christmas catalog last year. Within four days of the catalog's mailing date, Acme had received phone orders for its entire inventory of trains. Paul Murrah, the sales manager responsible for the Silver Bullet, was delighted with the product's success. However, his excitement was overshadowed by the ____ cost resulting from lost sales that his division would suffer.
Answer:
Stock out
Explanation:
Stockout cost can be regarded as lost of income as well as expenses which is as a result of shortage of inventory.
These can come up in different vways such as
✓Sales-related way; instance of these is when there is an order been placed by a customer but inventory is not available to sell to him/her gross margin that is related to sale would be loss by the company.
✓Internal process-related; this is when there is no inventory for a production run when the company needs it, then cost will be incurred in getting it even on short notice.
Harmon Inc, manufactures two products from a joint process, product A and product B. A standard production run incurs joint costs of $45,000 and results in 1,500 units of product A and 2,500 units of product B. Product A sells for $50.00 per unit and Product B sells for $20.00 per unit. Assuming that no further processing occurs after the split-ff point, how much of the joint costs are allocated to Product A and B using the physical measure method
Answer:
Harmon Inc.
Joint costs of $45,000 allocated to:
Product A = $16,875
Product B = $28,125
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Joint costs of a standard production run = $45,000
Joint products Product A Product B Total
Production units 1,500 2,500 4,000
Selling price per unit $50 $20
Allocation of joint costs based on physical measure method:
Product A = $16,875 (1,500/4,000 * $45,000)
Product B = $28,125 (2,500/4,000 * $45,000)
b) Joint costs of $45,000 were incurred by Product A and Product B jointly because they consumed the same resources during the production run. These costs can be allocated to the products based on established criteria, for example, units of products and sales value. The purpose is to properly account for the joint costs at split-off.

RealTurf is considering purchasing an automatic sprinkler system for its sod farm by borrowing the entire $50,000 purchase price. The loan would be repaid with four equal annual payments at an interest rate of 12%/year. It is anticipated that the sprinkler system would be used for 9 years and then sold for a salvage value of $5,000. Annual operating and maintenance expenses for the system over the 9-year life are estimated to be $10,500 per year. If the new system is purchased, cost savings of $20,500 per year will be realized over the present manual watering system. RealTurf uses a MARR of 15%/year for economic decision making.What is the internal rate of return used to reach your decision?
Answer:
savings per year = $20,500 - $10,500 = $10,000
the loan and interest are not included in the calculation
initial outlay = $50,000
cash flows 1-8 = $10,000
cash flow 9 = $15,000
discount rate = 15%
using a financial calculator, the NPV = -$862.85, and the IRR = 14.53%

You are given the following information concerning Parrothead Enterprises:
Debt: 9,300 6.5% coupon bonds outstanding, with 22 years to maturity and a quoted price of 104.75. These bonds have a par value of $1,000 and pay interest semi-annually.
Common stock: 240,000 shares of common stock selling for $64.80 per share. The stock has a beta of .93 and will pay a dividend of $3.00 next year. The dividend is expected to grow by 5.3 percent per year indefinitely.
Preferred stock: 8,300 shares of 4.65 percent preferred stock selling at $94.30 per share.
Market: 11.7% expected return, a risk-free rate of 3.75%, and a 23% tax rate.
Calculate the company's WACC.
Answer:
WACC is 8.19%
Explanation:
WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital is determined by multiplying capital source cost of both equity and debt by their relevant weight and then summing the results to identify the value using the formulae given below:
WACC = (E/V x Re) + [D/V x Rd x (1 - Tc)]
where:
E = Market Value of the firm's equity
D = Market Value of the firm's debt
V = E + D
Re = Cost of Equity
Rd = Cost of Debt
Tc = Tax Rate
In the given question, we will first determine the cost of equity. As shown below:
Cost of Equity = Average of CAPM and Dividend Capitalisation Model
CAPM = Risk free rate of return + Beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
CAPM = 3.75 + 0.93 x (11.7 - 3.75)
CAPM = 11.14%
Dividend Capitalisation Model = Expected dividend net year / Current Price + Growth Rate
Dividend Capitalisation Model = 3 / 64.8 * 100 + 5.3
Dividend Capitalisation Model = 9.93%
Cost of Equity = 9.93 + 11.14 = 10.54%
Next is the cost of debt which would be calculated using YTM (Yield to maturity)
where:
Par Value = 1047.5
Face Value = 1000
Coupon rate = 6.5
Years to maturity = 22 years
Coupon Payment Frequency is semi annually.
The Cost of debt = 6.1%
After Tax it would be 4.7% [6.1% * (1 - 23%)]
Next, we will determine the rate of preferred stock before calculating the WACC.
Rate of preferred stock = Annual dividend / Current Price * 100
Rate of preferred stock = 4.65 / 94.3 * 100
Rate of preferred stock = 4.93%
Finally, we will calculate the Market Value (MV) of equity, debt and preferred stock. As shown below:
MV Equity = 240,000 x 64.8 = 15,552,000
MV Debt = 1047.5 x 9300 = 9,741,750
MV preferred stock = 8,300 x 94.3 = 782,690
Total = 26,076,440
WACC = (15,552,000 / 26,076,440 * 10.54%) + (9,741,750 / 26,076,440 * 4.7%) + (782,690 / 26,076,440 * 4.93%)
WACC = 6.28% + 1.76% + 0.15%
WACC = 8.19%

($20,000-$21,940)
Therefore Jamari's business has a NET LOSS of $1,940 which is reported FOR AGI (ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME) on his tax return
B . Based on the information given we were that the REVENUE is the amount of $20,000 which means that in a situation where the activity was a hobby Jamari will report $$20,000 as income. Of his expenses, $20,000 are ALLOWED BUT WILL NOT BE DEDUCTIBLE on his tax return.
The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 16 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 6 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $1.60 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 7.10 percent
Answer:
$287.01
Explanation:
The 2 stage dividend discount model would be used to determine the current value of the stock.
first stage
Present value in year 1 = (1.6 x 1.16) / 1.071 = 1.73
Present value in year 2 = (1.6 x 1.16²) / 1.071² = 1.88
Present value in year 3 = (1.6 x 1.16³) / 1.071³ =2.03
Present value in year 4 = (1.6 x 1.16^4) / 1.071^4 = 2.20
second stage
[ (1.6 x 1.16^4) x (1.06) ] / (0.071 - 0.06) = 279.17
Value of the stock = 1.73 + 1.88 + 2.03 + 2.20 + 279.17 = $287.01

Paint products:
1-gallon cans 500 6.00 5.00 5.00 2,500
Paint brushes 100 4.00 4.50 4.00 400
Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to individual products) $5,800
Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to product categories)
Tools: Cost value = (100 * $5) + (200 * $10) + (300 * $2) = $3,100
NRV value = (100 * $5.50) + (200 * $9) + (300 * $2.60) = $3,130
LCNRV = $3,100 for tools
Paint products: Cost value = (500 * $6) + (100 * $4) = $3,400
NRV value = (500 * $5) + (100 * $4.50) = $2,950
LCNRV = $2,950 for paint products
Total LCNRV = $6,050 ($3,100 + $2,950)
Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to total inventory):
Cost value = (100 * $5) + (200 * $10) + (300 * $2) + (500 * $6) + (100 * $4)

An investor deposits 50 in an investment account on January 1. The following summarizes the activity in the account during the year: DateValue Immediately Before DepositDeposit March 154020 June 18080 October 117575 On June 30, the value of the account is 157.50. On December 31, the value of the account is X. Using the time-weighted method, the equivalent annual effective yield during the first 6 months is equal to the (time-weighted) annual effective yield during the entire 1-year period. Calculate X.
Answer:
236.25
Explanation:
Calculation to determine X
First step is to calculate the 6 months Yield
6 month Yield=(40/40+20) (80/40+20) (157.60/80+80)+1)
6 month Yield=(40/60) (80/60) (157.60/160)-1
6 month Yield=5%
Second step is to calculate the Annual equivalent
Annual equivalent=(1.05)^2-1
Annual equivalent=10.25%
Third step is to calculate the 1 year yield
1 year yield=(40/50) (80/40+20) (175/80+80) (x/175+75)
1 year yield=(40/50) (80/60) (175/160) (x/250)-1
1 year yield=0.1025
Now Let calculate X
x(0.004667)=1+.1025
x(0.004667)=1.1025
x=1.1025/0.004667
x=236.25
Therefore X is 236.25
The chapter explained why exporters cheer when their home currency depreciates. At the same time, domestic consumers find that they pay higher prices, so they should be disappointed when the currency becomes weaker. Why do the exporters usually win out, so that governments often seem to welcome depreciations while trying to avoid appreciations? (Hint: Think about the analogy with protective tariffs.)
Answer:
Exporters usually win out when their home currency depreciates because it increases demand for the exported products.
Explanation:
The foreign consumers find that the prices of the imports are now reduced because of the depreciation of the exporting nation's currency. The impact is reduced cost of importation for the importing consumers. When prices fall, demand tends to increase relative to supply. For any government that wants to encourage exports for earning foreign exchange, it will always work hard to avoid currency appreciation so that consumers from the importing nation are not discouraged or made to develop alternatives.
Exporters usually win out when their home currency depreciates because the depreciation increases the demand of the exported products.
When the prices fall, demand of the products and goods tend to increase. When the home currency depreciates, this will leads to higher demand of goods from other countries so the exporters produce and exports more goods and earn more money.
The government also wants to encourage exports in order to earn foreign exchange so that's why the exporters as well as the government cheers when their home currency depreciates.

Tops Co. purchases equipment for $12,000 and has been using straight-line depreciation, estimating a 5-year life and $500 salvage value. At the beginning of the third year, Tops decides to use the equipment for a total of 6-years with no salvage value. Compute the revised depreciation for the third year. Multiple choice question. $2,875 $1,850 $1,250 $2,375
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $1,850
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Purchase price= $12,000
Salvage value= $500
Useful life= 5 years
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation and accumulated depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (12,000 - 500) / 5
Annual depreciation= 2,300
Accumulated depreciation (2 years)= 2,300*1= 4,600
Now, we can determine the annual depreciation with a 4 more years of useful life:
Book value= 12,000 - 4,600= 7,400
useful life= 4 years more
Annual depreciation= 7,400/4
Annual depreciation= $1,850
Aaron's Rentals has 58,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a market price of $36 a share. The common stock just paid a $1.64 annual dividend and has a dividend growth rate of 2.8 %. There are 12,000 shares of 6 % preferred stock outstanding at a market price of $51 a share. Preferred stock pays a dividend of $6 a year The outstanding bonds mature in 17 years, have a total face value of $750,000, a face value per bond of $1,000, and a market price of $1,011 each. The bonds pay 8 % interest, semiannually. The tax rate is 34 %. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital
Answer:
The firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 7.76%.
Explanation:
Note: Par value of the preferred stock is $100 but it is omitted in the question.
Market price share = (Dividend just paid (1 + Dividend growth rate)) / (Cost of equity – Dividend growth rate) ………………………………….. (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation and solve for cost of equity, we have:
36 = (1.64 * (1 + 0.028)) / (Cost of equity – 0.028)
36 = 1.68592/ (Cost of equity – 0.028)
36(Cost of equity – 0.028) = 1.68592
36Cost of equity - 1.008 = 1.68592
36Cost of equity = 11.68592 + 1.008
Cost of equity = (1.68592 + 1.008) / 36
Cost of equity = 0.0748, or 7.48%
Cost of preferred stock = (Par value * Dividend rate) / Current price = (100 * 6%) / 51 = 0.1176, or 11.76%
Cost of debt = Coupon rate * (100% - tax rate) = 8% * (100% - 34%) = 0.0528, or 5.28%
Common stock market value = 58,000 * $36 = $2,088,000
Preferred market value = 12,000 * $51 = $612,000
Bond market value = $750,000 * ($1,011 / $1,000) = $758,250
Total market value of the company = Common stock market value + Preferred market value + Bond market value = $2,088,000 + $612,000 + $758,250 = $3,458,250
WACC = (7.48% * ($2,088,000 / $3,458,250)) + (11.76% * (612,000 / $3,458,250)) + (5.28% * ($758,250/ $3,458,250)) = 0.0776, or 7.76%
On November 1, Year One, a company is paid $12,000 in advance to do a job for a customer. The job has ten separate steps. The first four steps were completed in Year One and the remaining six steps were completed in Year Two. The accountant mistakenly believed that this was just one big job and recorded it in that fashion. However, each of the ten steps was really an individual job and should have been accounted for in that way. Which of the following statements is true?
a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.
b. At the end of Year Two, the company's assets are overstated.
c. At the end of Year Two, the company's retained earnings are overstated.
d. At the end of Year One, the company's retained earnings are understated.
e. At the end of Year Two, the company's net income is understated.
Answer: a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.
Explanation:
Under the Accrual basis of Accounting, revenue should be recorded for only jobs that have been completed. In other words, only earned revenue should be recorded. Revenue that has not been earned but yet received, is to be termed Deferred revenue and should be treated as a current liability.
In this scenario, there are steps that have not been completed so some of the revenue received should be termed deferred revenue. These should therefore be in current liabilities and because they were not, the liabilities for the end of year 1 will be understated.

Miller, Inc. has 5,000 shares of 6%, $400 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 100,000 shares of $4 par value common stock outstanding. There were no dividends declared in 2015. The board of directors declared and paid dividends of $200,000 each in 2016 and 2017. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017
First step is to calculate the preferred stock
Preferred stock=(5,000 shares*$400)*6%
Preferred stock=$2,000,000*6%
Preferred stock=$120,000
Now let calculate the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017
Dividend Received=($200,000-$120,000)/2
Dividend Received=$80,000/2
Dividend Received=$40,000
Therefore the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017 will be$40,000

Discounting Cash Flows and Earnings. Under the residual income approach and the discounted cash flow approach to firm valuation, carnings and cash flows, respectively, are discounted using a firm's cost of equity. Discuss why the cost of equity is the appropriate discount rate to use to discount a firm's camings and cash flows. Why is the cost of debt inappropriate to use to discount a firm's earnings or cash flows
Answer:
Cost of debt is used for external source of finance whereas cost of equity is used for internal source of finance.
Explanation:
Debt is the fund borrowed from lender at a standard rate of interest. Equity is fund acquired by the investors and shareholders. The required rate of return for equity is higher than the rate of return to the debt holders. This is because debt holders are safe and they are paid first in case of a bankruptcy and liquidity situation of a company. Debt is considered as cheap source of finance but acquiring higher debt will increase company gearing. It is not suitable to use cost of debt as discount factor for the cash flows of the company. The best and ideal discount factor is WACC which is derived by the combination of debt and equity.
Company A owns a 40% equity method investment in Company B. Subsequently, Company A acquires a controlling interest in a Company B and now must prepare consolidated financial statements. If the date Company A obtains control occurs midyear, how are subsidiary revenues and expenses reported in consolidated income statement in the year of the business combination
Answer:
Pre acquisition subsidiary revenues and expenses are excluded from consolidated revenue and expenses. Post acquisition subsidiary revenues and expenses are included in consolidated revenues and expenses.
Explanation:
Company A has acquired control over company B. When accounting for the consolidated financial statement the pre acquisition revenues and expenses will not be included, only post acquisition revenues and expenses will be included in the consolidated statement and they will be accounted for according to controlling percentage.
During lunch time, customers arrive at a postal office at a rate of lambda equals 36 per hour. The interarrival time of the arrival process can be approximated with an exponential distribution. Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of mu equals 45 per hour. The service time for the customers can also be approximated with an exponential distribution. For each of the following questions, show your work and use the right notation.
Required:
a. Determine the utilization factor.
b. Determine the probability that the system is idle, i.e., no customer is waiting or being served.
c. Determine the probability that exactly one customer is in the system, i.e., no customer is waiting but one is served.
Answer:a) utilization factor, P =4/5
b)Probability that the system is idle, P₀=1/5
C) the probability that exactly one customer is in the system,P ₁=4/25
Explanation:
A)
From the question,
Customer arrives at the rate of λ equal 36 per hour
Also,
Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of μ equals 45 per hour
Therefore, we have that
utilization factor. P = λ / μ
where
λ = 36 / hour
μ = 45 / hour
P= 36 / 45
P= 4/5
The utilization factor is 4/5
b) the probability that the system is idle, i.e., no customer is waiting or being served.
Probability that the system is idle P₀ =1 - P
1 - 4/5
=1/5
C) the probability that exactly one customer is in the system, i.e., no customer is waiting but one is served.
probability that exactly one customer is in the system,P ₁=(λ/μ)¹ x (1-λ/μ)
(36 / 45) x (1-36 / 45)
4/5 x (1-4/5)
4/5 x 1/5
=4/25

Calculate the cash dividends required to be paid for each of the following preferred stock issues: Required: The semiannual dividend on 6% cumulative preferred, $62 par value, 8,200 shares authorized, issued, and outstanding. The annual dividend on $2.25 cumulative preferred, 130,000 shares authorized, 78,000 shares issued, 68,900 shares outstanding. Last year's dividend has not been paid. The quarterly dividend on 10.0% cumulative preferred, $90 stated value, $106 liquidating value, 78,000 shares authorized, 67,600 shares issued and outstanding. No dividends are in arrears.
Answer:
Preferred dividend calculation:
= Percentage return * Par Value * number of shares
a. The semiannual dividend on 6% cumulative preferred, $62 par value, 8,200 shares authorized, issued, and outstanding.
= 6% * 62 * 8,200 * 1/2 years
= $15,252
b. The annual dividend on $2.25 cumulative preferred, 130,000 shares authorized, 78,000 shares issued, 68,900 shares outstanding. Last year's dividend has not been paid.
In this case, last year's dividend was not paid and this is a cumulative preferred stock so the dividend will be accrued from last year and paid this year.
= Preferred dividend * 2 years
= (2.25 * 68,900 shares outstanding) * 2
= $310,050
c. The quarterly dividend on 10.0% cumulative preferred, $90 stated value, $106 liquidating value, 78,000 shares authorized, 67,600 shares issued and outstanding. No dividends are in arrears.
= 10% * 90 * 67,600 * 1/4 years
= $152,775
