Answer:
9.72%
Explanation:
Maturity = 34
Par-value = -1000
Coupon rate = 6%
Coupon PMT = -60
Value of bond = 1152
Semi-annual Yield = Rate(34, -60, 1162, -1000, 0, 0)
Semi-annual Yield = 5.00%
Annual Yield = 10%
Tax rate = 40%
After tax cost of debt = 10*(1-0.4)= 6%: Add: Flotation cost (5%) = 11%
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/Price = 12/120 = 10%
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium
Cost of equity = 3.72 + 0.94*6
Cost of equity = 9.36%
Particulars Value per No of Market Weight Cost of Product
security securities value security
Bonds 1162 100000 116200000 0.15784 11 1.736213

Core Corporation reported current earnings and profits of $250,000. Core distributed a building with an adjusted basis of $170,000 and a fair market value of $230,000 to its sole shareholder. The building had a mortgage of $90,000, which the shareholder will assume. What is the amount of the dividend received by the shareholder?
A. $80,000.
B. $140,000.
C. $230,000.
D. $250,000.
Answer:
B. $140,000
Explanation:
The total cost of acquiring an asset, including the installation, commission, transportation and other relevant fees is known as adjusted basis. The fair market value is the value an asset would yield when sold. It is an amount that would be received in return when an asset is sold.
Therefore, the shareholders would receive dividend at the fair market value adjusted for the mortgage balance
= $230,000 - $90,000
= $140,000
Eclipse Motor Company manufactures two types of specialty electric motors, a commercial motor and a residential motor, through two production departments, Assembly and Testing. Presently, the company uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating factory overhead to the two products. However, management is considering using the multiple production department factory overhead rate method. The following factory overhead was budgeted for Eclipse:
Assembly Department $280,000
Testing Department 800,000
Total $1,080,000
Direct machine hours were estimated as follows:
Assembly Department 4,000 hours
Testing Department 5,000
Total 9,000 hours
In addition, the direct machine hours (dmh) used to produce a unit of each product in each department were determined from engineering records, as follows:
Commercial Residential
Assembly Department 1.5 dmh 1.0 dmh
Testing Department 3.0 2.0
Total machine hours per unit 4.5 dmh 3.0 dmh
Required:
a. Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors under the single plantwide factory overhead rate method, using direct machine hours as the allocation base.
b. Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors under the multiple production department factory overhead rate method, using direct machine hours as the allocation base for each department.
Answer:
A. Commercial 540
Residential 360
B. Commercial 585
Residential 390
Explanation:
a) Calculation to Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors .
First step is to calculate the Plantwide overhead rate using this formula
Plantwide overhead rate =Estimated overhead /Esimated machine hours
Let plug in the formula
Plantwide overhead rate = 1080000/9000
Plantwide overhead rate = $ 120 per MH
Now let Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors
Using this formula
Per -unit factory overhead allocated=Actual MH per unit *Plantwide overhead rate
Let plug in the formula
Per -unit factory overhead allocated to COMMERCIAL=4.5 dmh*120
Per -unit factory overhead allocated to COMMERCIAL=540
Per -unit factory overhead allocated to RESIDENTIAL=3.0 dmh*120
Per -unit factory overhead allocated to RESIDENTIAL=360
Therefore the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors under the single plantwide factory overhead rate method will be:
Commercial 540
Residential 360
b. Calculation to Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors
First step is to calculate the Departmental overhead rate
ASSEMBLY TESTING
Estimated overhead 280,000 800,000
÷Estimated machine hours each department 4,000 5,000
=Departmental overhead rate 70 160
Now calculation the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors
COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL
Assembly 1.5 dmh*70=105 1.0 dmh*70=70
Testing 3.0*160= 480 2.0*160= 320
Per -unit factory overhead allocated 585 390
(105+480=585)
(70+320=390)
Therefore the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors under the multiple production department factory overhead rate method will be:
Commercial 585
Residential 390
Stallman Company took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $200,000 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $25,000 of goods purchased from Pelzer Corporation, FOB, shipping point, and $22,000 of goods sold to Alvarez Company for $30,000, FOB destination. Both the Pelzer purchase and the Alvarez sale were in transit at year-end.
What amount should Stallman report as its December 31 inventory?
In its first month of operations, Bethke Company made three purchases of merchandise in the following sequence: (1) 300 units at $6, (2) 400 units at $7, and (3) 200 units at $8. Assuming there are 360 units on hand, compute the cost of the ending inventory under the (a) FIFO method and (b) LIFO method. Bethke uses a periodic inventory system.
A) Cost of the ending inventory LIFO.
B) Cost of the ending inventory.
Answer:
1. $247,00
A. $2,720
B.$2,220
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine What amount should Stallman report as its December 31 inventory
Using this formula
December 31 Ending inventory = Inventory count as per physical count + Inventory in transit FOB Shipping point + Inventory in transit FOB destination
Let plug in the formula
December 31 Ending inventory= $200,000 + $25,000+ $22,000
December 31 Ending inventory= $247,000
Therefore What amount should Stallman report as its December 31 inventory is $247,000
A) Calculation to determine the Cost of the ending inventory FIFO.
Cost of ending inventory = (200 units * $8) +(360 units- 200 units * $7)
Cost of ending inventory = (200 units * $8) + (160 units * $7)
Cost of ending inventory= $1,600 + $1,120
Cost of ending inventory= $2,720
Therefore The Cost of ending inventory is $2,720
(b) Calculation to determine The cost of ending inventory under the LIFO method
Cost of ending inventory = (300 units * $6) +(360 units -300 units* $ 7)
Cost of ending inventory = (300 units * $6) + (60 units * $ 7)
Cost of ending inventory = $1,800 + $420
Cost of ending inventory = $2,220
Therefore The cost of ending inventory under the LIFO method will be $2,220
Which of the following goods is directly counted in GDP? 2) A) the lettuce that Subway purchases for its sandwiches B) a 12-inch Subway sandwich purchased by a student C) the bread that Subway purchases for its sandwiches D) the plastic bags that Subway purchases to wrap its sandwiches 3) Value added equals the market price of the firm's product minus 3) A) depreciation on plant and equipment. B) the price of intermediate goods. C) wages and salaries. D) the price of all factors of production
Answer:
b
b
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
a 12-inch Subway sandwich purchased by a student is the only final good and thus it would be included in GDP as part of consumption spending on non durable goods
the lettuce, the bread and the plastic bags constitute intermediate goods. Including intermediate goods in the calculation of GDP would lead to double counting

Which of the following arguments can be used to correctly defend the WTO’s position on retaliatory tariffs? Check all that apply. A countervailing duty protects import-competing producers. Convincing the government to impose antidumping duties is less costly than facing fair competition. Accusing foreign firms of dumping is less costly than producing goods competitively.
Answer:
The arguments that can be used to correctly defend the WTO's position on retaliatory tariffs are:
Convincing the government to impose antidumping duties is less costly than facing fair competition.
Accusing foreign firms of dumping is less costly than producing goods competitively.
Explanation:
A government can impose anti-dumping duties on certain imports when it believes that the prices of the imports are below their fair market values. Truly, some exports have been found to export goods at prices significantly below their domestic market prices. Dumping shows that the export prices may even be below their production costs.

A portfolio manager plans to use a Treasury bond futures contract to hedge a bond portfolio over the next three months. The portfolio is worth $100 million and will have a duration of 5.6 years in three months. The futures price is 112, and each futures contract is on $100,000 of bonds. The bond that is expected to be cheapest to deliver will have a duration of 9.0 years at the maturity of the futures contract. What position in futures contracts is required
Answer: 556
Explanation:
The position in futures contracts that is required will be calculated thus:
= (100,000,000 × 5.6) / (112,000 × 9)
= 560,000,000 / 1,008,000
= 555.5
= 556 approximately
Therefore, based on the calculation, the answer is 556.

Answer:
Total allocated costs= $53,070
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates using the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Quality control= 77,000 / 1,100 = $70 per inspection
Machine operation= 153,000 / 1,500 = $102 per machine hour
Materials handling= 1,200 / 30 = $40 per batch
Miscellaneous overhead cost= 57,000 / 5,700= $10 per labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Quality control= 70*295= 20,650
Machine operation= 102*240= 24,480
Materials handling= 40*6= 240
Miscellaneous overhead cost= 10*770= 7,700
Total allocated costs= $53,070
Motorcycle Manufacturers, Inc. projected sales of 51,100 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 6,460 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 7,130 units. What is the budgeted production (in units) for the year
Answer:
51,770 units
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the budgeted production (in unit) for the year is computed as;
= Sales - Beginning inventory + Ending inventory
Given that ;
Sales = 51,100
Beginning inventory = 6,460
Ending inventory = 7,130
Budgeted production in units for the year = 51,100 - 6,460 + 7,130 = 51,770 units
Albert purchased a tract of land for $140,000 in 2017 when he heard that a new highway was going to be constructed through the property and that the land would soon be worth $200,000. Highway engineers surveyed the property and indicated that he would probably get $180,000. The highway project was abandoned in 2020 and the value of the land fell to $100,000. What is the amount of loss Albert can claim in 2020
Answer:
The amount of loss that Albert can claim in 2020 is limited to:
= $3,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
2017 Purchase cost of the tract of land = $140,000
Speculated price of the land = $200,000
Highway engineers-determined value = $180,000
2020 Value of the land after the project was abandoned = $100,000
The total amount of capital loss = $40,000 ($140,000 - $100,000)
The total amount of capital loss that Albert can claim in any tax year is limited to $3,000. The remaining amount of the capitalloss that he incurred in 2020 will be carried forward.

Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.
In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.
Price discrimination refers to the situation in which a business firm sells an identical product to different consumers at different selling price based on reasons that are not in any way associated or related with its manufacturing cost.

Assuming that the underlying demand relation is a linear function of price and income, use your spreadsheet program to obtain least squares estimates of Ohio’s demand for KBC microbrews. Instruction:
If the estimate is negative, enter a negative number (-) in the equation.
Answer:
The least squares estimates of Ohio’s demand for KBC microbrews is Quantity = 1.57Price + 14.00Income.
Explanation:
Note: See Sheet1 of the attached excel for the replication of the data given in the question and Sheet2 for the regression analysis output.
In the third table in the Sheet2, the second column is for the coefficients where, by rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
Price = 1.57
Income = 14.00
Note: The intercept is 0 because a zero intercept was chosen in the analysi.
Based on the above, the least squares estimates of Ohio’s demand for KBC microbrews can be written as follows:
Quantity = 1.57Price + 14.00Income
To run the regression from Sheet1 in order to obtain the output in Sheet, follow his process:
Click the “Data” menu, and then the “Data Analysis” tab. From the new window, scroll down to find and click on "Regression" and then click “OK”.
In the new window, click in the box of “Input Y Range”, and then select the column containing the Quantity data as the dependent variable. Also in the new window, click in the box of “Input X Range”, and then select the column containing the both Price and Income data as the independent variables. Also, select "Labels", "Confidence level (95%)", and "Constant is Zero". Then click "OK" to obtain the output in Sheet2.
Harrington Corporation produces three products, A, B, and C. Pertinent information on these products is as follows: ProductSelling Price per UnitVariable Cost per UnitFixed Costper UnitDL Hoursper UnitA (Anchor bolts)$4.00 $1.00 $2.00 2 B (Bearings)$3.50 $0.50 $2.00 2 C (Castings)$6.00 $2.00 $3.00 3 There are 150 direct labor hours available. Machine-hour capacity allows 100 anchor bolts, only; 50 bearings, only; 40 casters, only; or any combination of the three that does not exceed the capacity. The direct labor hour constraint for Harrington's linear programming model is: ___________
Answer:
Labour hours constraint : 2a + 2b + 3c ≤ 150
Explanation:
Linear programming is a mathematical model that is used to solve a problem when a firm wants to maximize profit in the midst of multiple resource constraints.
The following steps should be followed:
Step 1: Define the variables
a= the units of product Anchor
b= the units of product Bearing
c= the units of product Casting
Step 2: Define the constraints:
The constraints represent the limitations which could be resource; in this case machine hours and direct labour hours. Since the constraint in focus is labour hours , so we only consider it.
Subject
Constraints: Labour hours : 2a + 2b + 3c ≤ 150
Non-negativity constraints a, b , c ≥ 0
Since the total available labour hours is 150 hours then the total consumption hours can either be equal to or less than 150, but can never be higher than 150.
The labour hours constraint is represented by 2a + 2b + 3c ≤ 150

Superior Developers sells lots for residential development. When lots are sold, Superior recognizes income for financial reporting purposes in the year of the sale. For some lots, Superior recognizes income for tax purposes when the cash is collected. In 2020, Superior sold lots for $40 million for which no cash was collected at the time of the sale. This cash will be collected equally over 2021 and 2022. The enacted tax rate was 40% at the time of the sale. In 2021, a new tax law was enacted, revising the tax rate from 40% to 25% beginning in 2022. Calculate the total amount by which Superior should change its deferred tax liability in 2021. (Enter your answer in millions rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.50).)
Answer:
$11 million
Explanation:
Calculation for the total amount by which Superior should change its deferred tax liability in 2021
Deferred tax liability 12/31/2020 $16.0
($40 future taxable amt. × 40%)
Less Deferred tax liability 12/31/2021 (5.0)
($40/2 equally future taxable amt. × 25%)
Reduction needed to achieve desired balance $11
($16.00-$5.00)
Therefore the total amount by which Superior should change its deferred tax liability in 2021 is by reducing it to $11 million:
LaMont works for a company in downtown Chicago. The company encourages employees to use public transportation (to save the environment) by providing them with transit passes at a cost of $290 per month. rev: 09_23_2020_QC_CS-230013a. If LaMont receives one pass (worth $290) each month, how much of this benefit must he include in his gross income each year
Answer:
The IRS sets the limit on transportation benefits provided by an employer, for 2021, this limit is $270 per month, or $3,240 per year.
The total benefit received by LaMont should = 12 x $290 = $3,480
This means that he must include $3,480 - $3,240 = $240 as part of his annual gross income.
