Metlock Company has identified that the cost of a new computer will be $44000, but with the use of the new computer, net income will increase by $5000 a year. If depreciation expense is $3000 a year, the cash payback period is:_______
a. 22.0 years.
b. 5.5 years.
c. 8.8 years.
d. 14.7 years.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Cash payback period calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

Cash payback period = amount invested / cash flows

Cash flows = net income + depreciation = $5000 + $3000 = $8000

$44,000 / $8,000 = 5.5 years

It costs Crane Company $28 of variable costs and $15 of allocated fixed costs to produce an industrial trash can that sells for $76. A buyer in Mexico offers to purchase 3000 units at $30 each. Crane Company has excess capacity and can handle the additional production. What effect will acceptance of the offer have on net income

Answers

Answer:

Effect on income= $6,000 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary variable cost= $28

Selling price= $30

Number of units= 3,000

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the allocated fixed costs.

Effect on income= 3,000*(30 - 28)

Effect on income= $6,000 increase

The current market value of the assets of ABCD is $86.28 million. The call option value on the firm's assets is $53.09 million. What is the market value of the firm's debt

Answers

Answer: $33.19 million

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the current market value of the assets of ABCD is $86.28 million and that the call option value on the firm's assets is $53.09 million.

The market value of the firm's debt will be the difference between the market value of assets and the call option value of the firm's assets. This will be:

= $86.28m - $53.09m

= $33.19 million

List three pieces of information listed in a credit card agreement that you believe are important to review before

Answers

Explanation:

Annual Percentage Rate (APR). This is the cost of borrowing on the card, if you don’t pay the whole balance off each month. You can compare the APR for different cards which will help you to choose the cheapest. You should also compare other things about the cards, for example, fees, charges and incentives

Minimum repayment. If you don’t pay off the balance each month, you will be asked to repay a minimum amount. This is typically around 3% of the balance due.

Annual fee. Some cards charge a fee each year for use of the card. The fee is added to the amount due and you will have to pay interest on the fee as well as on your spending, unless you pay it in full.

Buffalo Corporation reported net income of $415,720 in 2020 and had 208,000 shares of common stock outstanding throughout the year. Also outstanding all year were 40,500 options to purchase common stock at $11 per share. The average market price of the stock during the year was $15. Compute diluted earnings per share. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 3.55.) Diluted earnings per share $

Answers

Answer:

Buffalo Corporation

Diluted earnings per share is:

$1.67 per share.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Reported net income = $415,720

Common Stock outstanding = 208,000 shares

Options outstanding = 40,500 shares

Total outstanding shares = 248,500 shares (208,000 + 40,500)

Option price per share = $11

Market price per share = $15

Earnings per share = Net Income/Common Stock outstanding

Computation of diluted earnings per share:

Diluted Earnings per share = Net Income/Total outstanding shares

= $415,720/248,500

= $1.67

b) Buffalo's diluted earnings per share uses the total outstanding shares (common stock plus options stock plus all convertible securities) to divide into the net income.  As the description implies, all convertible stocks are included in the calculation to arrive at the earnings per share.

Anthony makes a contract to sell a rare painting to Laura for $100,000. The written contract specifies that if Anthony should fail to perform the contract, he will pay Laura $5,000. as liquidated damages. Anthony fails to deliver the paining and is sued by Laura for $5000. Can she recover this amount? Explain using IRAC: Issue, Rule, Analysis, and Conclusion.

Answers

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Laura is able to recover this amount as it is within the domain of enforceable liquidated damages.

For a liquidated damage to be enforceable;

The liquidated damage must be reasonableThe damages as a result of the breach are difficult to ascertain.

The liquidated damage amount is $5,000 and when this is compared to the total contract amount of $100,000, it is reasonable.

As the painting is rare, we cannot know the damages accruing to Laura for being unable to acquire this painting.

Both requirements have been fulfilled which means that Laura can recover the amount of $5,000.

True or False: Under the average-cost pricing policy, the cable company has no incentive to cut costs.

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The cable company will not have any incentive to cut costs.  This is because it knows that its costs will be averaged to determine the average cost to which a certain percentage is then added to arrive at the selling price.  Having the cost averaged in this way will not motivate the cable company to seek cost minimization strategies that it could use to increase its income.

Cromwell's Interiors is considering a project that is equally as risky as the firm's current operations.The firm has a cost of equity of 15.4 percent and a pretax cost of debt of 8.9 percent.The debt-equity ratio is .46 and the tax rate is 34 percent.What is the cost of capital for this project?A) 11.97 percentB) 12.40 percentC) 11.02 percentD) 11.62 percentE) 12.38 percent

Answers

Answer:

Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of equity =  15.4%

Pretax cost of debt = 8.9%

Debt-equity ratio = 0.46

Tax rate = 34%

Computation:

Equity multiplier = 1 + Debt-equity ratio

Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.46

Equity multiplier = 1.46

Weight of equity = 1 / Equity multiplier

Weight of equity = 1 / 1.46

Weight of equity = 0.685

Weight of Debt = 1 - Weight of equity

Weight of Debt = 1 - 0.685

Weight of Debt = 0.315

Cost of capital = [Weight of Debt x Pretax cost of debt] x (1-tax rate) + [Cost of equity x Weight of Debt ]

Cost of capital = [0.315 x 8.9% x (1-0.34)] + [15.4% x 0.6849]

Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

A company buys a machine for $68,000 that has an expected life of 8 years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. The company anticipates a yearly net income of $3,250 after taxes of 36%, with the cash flows to be received evenly throughout each year. What is the accounting rate of return?
a. 3.44%.
b. 4.78%.
c. 9.56%.
d. 6.12%.
e. 38.24%.

Answers

Answer:

c. 9.56%

Explanation:

Accounting Rate of Return = Average Profit / Average Investment × 100

where,

Average Profit = $3,250

Average Investment = $68,000 ÷ 2 = $34,000

Therefore,

Accounting Rate of Return = $3,250 ÷ $34,000

                                             = 9.56 %

True or False:
The US tax system subsidizes married couples compared to single individ-uals. Explain.

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Some married couples pay higher taxes because they file their taxes together. This is called a marriage penalty, and generally occurs when both spouses earn similar amounts of money. If each spouse was to file separately, their income taxes would generally be lower. But if one spouse earns significantly more than the other, then filing their taxes together lowers their total income taxes.

Due to Christian values, American laws generally favor established families. That rule applies to almost all countries with similar values since Western cultures consider the family as the foundation of society (husband, wife and children). But even single parents benefit from differential tax rates, since they can file as head of households. Same sex marriages are legal, so they can also file as married even if they are not conventional families.

Sheffield Corp. has equipment with a carrying amount of $2500000. The expected future net cash flows from the equipment are $2545000, and its fair value is $2036000. The equipment is expected to be used in operations in the future. What amount (if any) should Sheffield report as an impairment to its equipment?

Answers

Answer:

No impairment loss would be reported

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Impairment loss = carrying value - recoverable amount

Where,

The recoverable amount would be the higher amount of fair market value and value in use

So the recoverable amount would be $2,545,000

Now the impairment loss is

= $2,500,000 - $2,545,000

= -$45,000

Since the impairment loss comes in negative so no impairment would be recorded

Journalize the following transactions for Combs Company.
(a) Purchased 6,000 units of raw materials on account for $11,500. The standard cost was $12,000.
(b) Issued 5,600 units of raw materials for production. The standard units were 5,800.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Debit: Raw material $12000

Credit: Account payable $11500

Credit: Material price variance $500

(To record material purchase)

b. Debit: Work in process 11600

Credit: Raw material 11200

= $3,000,000 - ($3,000,000 × 0.03) + ($3000000 × 0.07)

= $3,000,000 - [$90,000 + $210,000]

= $3,000,000 - $300,000

= $2,700,000

Therefore, the debit to cash will be $2,700,000.
