Answer: C. cash flows that occur after payback.
Explanation:
The Payback Period and Discounted Payback Period capital budgeting evaluation techniques are used to find out how long it will take for an investment to pay back it's initial outlay.
Once this point is gotten to however, the method stops working and as such does not take into account cashflows after the Payback period has been reached. This means that the method does not cater for profit but rather for Break-Even points alone which can be very unattractive because people embark on capital projects mostly to make profits.
Can you explain answer below:
#28 The Canadian subsidiary of a U.S. company reported cost of goods sold of 50,000 C$, for the current year ended December 31. The beginning inventory was 15,000 C$, and the ending inventory was 10,000 C$. Spot rates for various dates are as follows:
Date beginning inventory was acquired $1.08 = 1C$
Rate at beginning of the year $1.10 = 1C$
Weighted average rate for the year $1.12 = 1C$
Date ending inventory was acquired $1.13 = 1C$
Assuming the Canadian dollar is the functional currency of the Canadian subsidiary, the translated amount of cost of goods sold that should appear in the consolidated income statement is
Answer is C. $56,000
Answer:
$56,000
Explanation:
Data:
Cost of good sold (single) = $50,000
Weighted average rate of the year = $1.12
Cost of good sold consolidated = ???????
Solution:
In order to find the translated amount of cost of goods sold that should appear in the consolidated income statement, we will multiply the cost of goods sold given for Canadian subsidiary with the weighted average rate of the year.
Calculation:
Cost of good sold (consolidated) = $50,000 x $1.12
Cost of good sold (consolidated) = $56,000
a new hockey arena at a cost of $2,500,000. It received a downpayment of $500,000 from local businesses to support the project and now needs to borrow $2,000,000 to complete the project. It therefore decides to issue $2,000,000 of 11%, callable, 10-year bonds. These bonds were issued on January 2018 and pay interest on January 1 and July 1. The bonds yield 10%. Instructions: a. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2018 b. Prepare a bond amortixation schedule up to and including January 1, 2022 c. Prepare the journal entries to record the interest payments on January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021. d. Prepare the journal entry to record the bond called on January 2021 at 106
Answer:
a. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2018
we must first determine the market price of the bonds:
PV of face value = $2,000,000 / (1 + 5%)²⁰ = $753,778.97 ≈ $753,779
PV of coupon payments = $110,000 x 12.462 (PV annuity factor, 5%, 20 periods) = $1,370,820
market value of the bonds = $753,779 + $1,370,820 = $2,124,599

Luana sells Beta Corporation stock with an adjusted basis of $58,000 and a fair market value of $70,000 for $64,000.
Luana has a realized of ________________ $ .
Answer:
Gain of $6,000
Explanation:
Since we were told that Luana sells Beta Corporation stock with an adjusted basis amount of $58,000 and a fair market value of the amount of $70,000 for $64,000 this means we have to less $64,000 from $70,000 which will give us a gain of $6,000
$70,000 -$64,000
=$6,000
This means that Luana has realized a Gain of $6,000

Incremental revenues refer to the extra or additional revenues generated by a business activity or transaction. In this case, repairing and then selling the damaged units would increase income by $23,200.
Parramore Corp has $17 million of sales, $3 million of inventories, $4 million of receivables, and $3 million of payables. Its cost of goods sold is 65% of sales, and it finances working capital with bank loans at an 6% rate. Assume 365 days in year for your calculations. Do not round intermediate steps.
What is Parramore's cash conversion cycle (CCC)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
days
Answer:
Parramore's cash conversion cycle (CCC) is 85.88 days.
Explanation:
The cash conversion cycle (CCC) refers to a metric that is used to express the time or number of days a firm takes to convert its inventory and other investments resources into cash flows from sales.
CCC has three components: Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO), Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), and Days Payable Outstanding (DPO). CCC can therefore be calculated using these three components as follows:
CCC = DIO + DSO - DPO ........................... (1)
We need to calculate each of these components first as follows:
DIO = (Inventories / Cost of good sold) * 365 = [3 / (65% * 17)] * 365 = 99.0950226244344
DSO = (Receivables / Sales) * 365 = (4 / 17) * 365 = 85.8823529411765
DPO = (Payable / Cost of good sold) * 365 = [3 / (65% * 17)] * 365 = 99.0950226244344
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
CCC = 99.0950226244344 + 85.8823529411765 + 99.0950226244344 = 85.88 days.
Therefore, Parramore's cash conversion cycle (CCC) is 85.88 days. That is, it takes Parramore Corp 85.88 days to convert its inventory and other investments resources into cash flows from sales.
Marigold Corporation acquires a coal mine at a cost of $420,000. Intangible development costs total $105,000. After extraction has occurred, Marigold must restore the property (estimated fair value of the obligation is $84,000), after which it can be sold for $168,000. Marigold estimates that 4,200 tons of coal can be extracted.
Required:
If 735 tons are extracted the first year, prepare the journal entry to record depletion.
Answer:
Inventory Dr $77,175
To Accumulated depletion $77,175
(being the depletion is recorded)
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Inventory Dr $77,175
To Accumulated depletion $77,175
(being the depletion is recorded)
For recording this we debited the inventory as it increased the assets and credited the accumulated depletion as it decreased the assets
The computation is shown below:
= (Cost of coal mine + intangible development cost + estimated fair value of the obligation - sales value) ÷ (extracted estimated tons) × (extracted tons for the first year)
= ($420,000 + $105,000 + $84,000 - $168,000) ÷ (4,200 tons) × (735 tons)
= $77,175

The cost of units transferred from Work in Process Inventory to Finished Goods Inventory is called the cost of goods manufactured.
1. True
2. False
Answer:
1. True
Explanation:
Work in process inventory is inventory that is still undergoing processing. When the processing is completed, the goods (inventory) become finished goods. And they are transferred to Finished Goods Inventory as cost of goods manufactured. Finished Goods Inventory represents goods that are available for sale. The cost of finished goods inventory also forms part of the cost of goods sold, which is used in determining the gross profit. Accounting for work in process inventory is part of the multi-step system of accumulating and allocating cost of production to finished goods.

the 360 degree feedback performance appraisal system tries to improve performance ratings by forcing managers to :
Answer:
Include information from a wide range of sources in their reviews.
Explanation:
Performance appraisal refers to the evaluation of employees' performance by the human resource managers in an organization. The 360-degree feedback performance appraisal system is a type of performance appraisal that sources information about an employee from various sources, which ranges from subordinates, lateral and supervisory sources. This implies that the manager seeks to gain insight about the employee from his fellow employees, from his supervisors, his subordinates, and sometimes from external sources such as the customers who interact with that employee on a daily basis.
Most managers use this system of appraisal for developmental purposes and evaluation of an employee's performance. Information sourced can then be used to help the employees improve on their skills or promote/demote them.
g Donald’s employer fires Donald after only four months on the job, a clear breach of Donald’s written twelve-month employment contract. Donald is entitled to recover as damages:
Answer:
Compensatory Damages
Explanation:
Based on this scenario it can be said that Donald is entitled to Compensatory Damages. This is a lawsuit that covers the loss that the non-breaching party incurred as a result of the breach of contract. In this scenario, Donald's employer breached the contract by firing Donald before the twelve months. Therefore Donald can sue for compensatory damages which would be the amount of money that he would have made in the rest of the twelve months.

"The conversion ratio of these convertible debentures is set at issuance at 200:1. The trust indenture for the debentures includes an "anti-dilutive" covenant. The company wants to issue 50,000 additional common shares. The conversion price after the issuance of the additional common shares will be:"
Answer:
$4
Explanation:
The conversion price of the convertible bonds set at issuance was $5 per share ($1000 par/200 conversion ratio). If the company issues more common shares, the market value of outstanding shares will fall. For instance, if the common stock price is trading at $5, Therefore, the bond and the common are at parity. If 25% more share isnissued by the company as it does in the aforementioned example -- there would be $1000000 share of common at $5 par or 200000 shares outstanding and the company intends to share 50000 more shares, or 25% more), the adjusted conversion price of the stock after issuance will now become $5/1.25 = $4 per share.
Nonetheless, i the conversion isn't being adjusted, the convertible security which was "at the money" goes "out the money". The protect convertible security holders, an anti-dilutive covenant is included in the trust indenture. The conversion price is adjusted for these dilutive effects. The new conversion pricewill be $5 original price/1.25 = $4
In a simple economy (assume there are no taxes, thus Y is disposable income), the consumption function is Upper C equals 1000 plus 0.9 Upper YC = 1000 + 0.9Y.
Thus, autonomous consumption is _________ nothing and the marginal propensity to consume is ______________.
A consumer whose income increases by $100 will increase consumption by $ ____________.
Answer:
Autonomous consumption is $1,000 and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.9.
A consumer whose income increases by $100 will increase consumption by $90.
Explanation:
Given C = 1000 + 0.9Y
Autonomous consumption refers to consumption expenditure of consumers that does not depend on income. Therefore, autonomous consumption is therefore the consumption expenditure made by the consumers when they do not have income or when income is zero (i.e. when Y = 0).
Substituting for Y = 0 into the consumption function, we can obtain autonomous consumption is follows:
Autonomous consumption = 1000 + (0.9 * 0) = 1,000
The marginal propensity to consume refers to the proportion of the increase in disposable income that is spent on the consumption of goods and services by a consumer. From the consumption function, the marginal propensity to consume is 0.9.
Since marginal propensity to consume is 0.9, a consumer whose income increases by $100 will therefore increase consumption by $90 (i.e. $100 * 0.9 = $90).

Group of answer choices;
A. do so regardless of what type of competition exists in a market.
B. take a long-run perspective on costs, when such costs cannot be adjusted.
C. take a short-run perspective on labor costs which cannot be immediately changed.
D. breakdown its cost structure according to short-run adjustments.
Answer:
A. do so regardless of what type of competition exists in a market.
Explanation:
According to the definition of profit, if a profit-maximizing firm will always attempt to produce its desired level of output at the lowest possible cost, then it will do so regardless of what type of competition exists in a market.
Profit maximization is considered by economists as either a short run or long run process that ultimately influences a firm's price, investment or input costs and level of production that would result in the highest profit.
Hence, a firm makes profit when the total cost used for the production of a product is subtracted from the total revenue generated from the sales of that product.
Mathematically, [tex]Profit = Total Revenue - Total cost.[/tex]
Regardless of what competition exists in the market, a firm is only very much concerned with knowing the quantity of goods that it should produce in order to make profits. Having the answer to the above question would help a profit-maximizing firm to produce its desired level of output at the lowest possible cost.
Hence, as the firm sells more of its products, the total revenue is also increasing and thus making more profits with respect to the price level in the market.
True or False: Computing interest using the sum-of-the-digits method allocates more interest at the beginning of a loan than at the end of the loan.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
To illustrate how the sum-of-the-digits method allocates interest we can use a lease example:
You are the lessor and you will lease a machine during 4 years. The lease requires 4 equal payments of $100,000 at the beginning of the year. After the lease, the asset's salvage value = $0.
The asset's current value = $300,000, so total interests received = $100,000
Using the sum-of-the-digits method, you will allocate interest as follows:
year 1 = 3/6 x $100,000 = $50,000year 2 = 2/6 x $100,000 = $33,333year 3 = 1/6 x $100,000 = $17,000The largest portion of interests is allocated during the beginning of the loan.
Two cities are identical in all respects except City A has an assessment ratio of 100% and City B (in another state) has an assessment ratio of 25%. Both cities need to raise $1,000,000 in property tax revenues. The statutory tax rates on property are
Available Options are:
A. higher in City A than City B.
B. higher in City B than City A.
C. identical in both cities.
D. dependent on non-property tax revenues in each.
Answer:
Option B. Higher in the city B than in city A.
Explanation:
If we talk about the assessment ration, then it is calculated as under:
Assessment ratio = Value of property assessed by municipality / Fair Market value of the property
This ratio helps in calculating the property tax for each year and if the ratio is higher then the property tax rate will be set higher to collect the target property tax revenue and vice versa.
As in this case, the assessment ratio of company B is 100% which is higher than city A, which means that the city B will require higher tax rates to collect the target property tax revenue.
Hence the property tax rate in city B will be higher than City A to collect the same target property tax revenue.

If a borrower receives a loan with a variable interest rate, then the interest rate on the loan Multiple Choice always goes up. is subject to the price of the home. always goes down. is fixed. may go up or down.
Answer: may go up or down.
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that a borrower receives a loan with a variable interest rate, It should be noted that a variable interest rate loan is a form of loan whereby the interest rate that is charged on outstanding balance is not fixed but varies when there are changes in the market interest rates.
Based on this explanation, the payments the borrower will make will vary as they can either go up or down.
A borrower receives a loan with a variable interest rate, then the interest rate on the loan may go up or down.
A variable interest rate is an interest rate that is anchored on a benchmark interest rate or index. The variable interest rate changes with changes that occurs in the benchmark interest rate. A variable interest rate is also known as a floating interest rate.
If the underlying interest rate increases, the variable interest rate would increase. If the underlying interest rate decreases, the variable interest rate would decrease.

What is the relationship between organizational needs analysis and strategic planning? How can tying HRD programs to an organization’s strategicplan make it easier to justify requests for resources to develop and deliver HRD programs?
Explanation:
An organization's strategic planning comprises the organizational values, its mission, vision and objectives and defines a company's strategic action plans in detail so that its long-term objectives and goals are achieved.
To be effective, strategic planning must understand each system in the organization and correctly allocate the use of resources according to the needs of the company.
The analysis of organizational needs will help the company to monitor its resources and its influence on the internal and external environment, developing ideal alternatives in a market where there are changes in consumer behavior, innovation, new technologies, etc.
The programs of the human resources department must therefore be linked to the strategic plan of an organization, to facilitate requests for resources to develop and provide HRD programs, since the needs of personnel directly impact the way in which the strategic actions foreseen by the planning are developed. Organizational culture should be based on positive values that seek to motivate employees to be productive and perform their duties with dedication and excellence, so HRD programs must be considered as an essential part of the development of the internal forces that will lead an organization to success.

Chamberlain Co. wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 6 percent coupon bonds on the market that sell for $1,083, make semiannual payments, and mature in 20 years. What coupon rate should the company set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par?
Answer:
5.36%
Explanation:
We would need to calculate the yield to maturity of the current bonds:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
coupon = $1,000 x 6% x 1/2 = $30face value = $1,000market value = $1,083n = 20 x 2 = 40YTM = {$30 + [($1,000 - $1,083)/40]} / [($1,000 + $1,083)/2] = $27.925 / $1,041.50 = 0.026812 x 2 = 0.05362 = 5.36%
Since the bond's coupon rate is higher than the market rate, the bonds are sold at a premium. In order to sell bonds at the par value, you must lower the coupon rate.

A company purchased a commercial dishwasher by paying cash of $5,300. The dishwasher's fair value on the date of the purchase was $5,700. The company incurred $320 in transportation costs, $210 installation fees, and paid a $230 fine for illegal parking while the dishwasher was being delivered. For what amount will the company record the dishwasher
Answer:
$5,830
Explanation:
Relevant data provided
Cash paid = $5,300
Transportation cost = $320
Installation fees = $210
The computation of the amount that will record the dishwasher is shown below:-
Total cost = Cash paid + Transportation cost + Installation fees
= $5,300 + $320 + $210
= $5,830
Therefore for computing the total cost we simply applied the above formula and ignore all other values as they are not relevant.
E-Eyes just issued some new preferred stock. The issue will pay an annual dividend of $13 in perpetuity, beginning 11 years from now. If the market requires a 6 percent return on this investment, how much does a share of preferred stock cost today
Answer:
The cost of preferred stock today is $114.14
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of preferred stock today, we first need to determine the cost of each share of preferred stock 11 years from now when it starts paying dividends and then discount it back to today's value.
The preferred stock pays a constant dividend and after equal interval of time for an indefinite period. Thus, it is like a perpetuity. The present value of perpetuity is,
Present value = Dividend / r
Where,
r is the required rate of return
Value Year 11 = 13 / 0.06
Value Year 11 = 216.6666667
The present value is,
Present value = 216.6666667 / (1+0.06)^11
Present value = $114.137 rounded off to $114.14

At the beginning of the year, Ann and Becky own equally all of the stock of Whitman, Inc., an S corporation. Whitman generates a $120,000 loss for the year. On the 189th day of the year, Ann sells her half of the Whitman stock to her son, Scott. Becky's stock basis is $41,300 How much of the Whitman loss belongs to Ann and Becky? In your computations, round any divisions to four decimal places. Round the final answer to the nearest dollar. Assume a 365 day year. Ann's share of Whitman's loss is $_______ and Becky's share of the loss is $______ However,______ loss is limited to $__________.
Answer:
1. Share of Ann's Loss: $31,048
2. Share of Becky's Loss: $60,000
3. Maximum Loss Allowed: $41,300
Explanation:
The total loss for the year is $120,000 and both Ann and Becky own 50% each.
1. Share of Ann's Loss:
Ann had ownership of Whitman Inc. for 189 days which means the 50% of the total loss would be further lessened by 189/365 factor.
Mathematically:
Ann's Loss = $1,20,000 * 50% * (189/365) = $31,048 Loss
2. Share of Becky's Loss:
This means that the share of loss for Becky would be = $120,000 * 50%
= $60,000
3. Maximum Loss Allowed:
As the stock basis is $41,300, hence the maximum loss for Becky would be $41,300.
How might an interactive leader like Mary Barra communicate a policy change that impacts all GM employees from executive-level managers to assembly line workers
Answer:
a. Create task forces at different levels of the organization that communicate the benefits of the policy change
c. Hold a series of town hall meetings to discuss the policy change and listen to employee concerns
d. Hold informal meetings with key managers, department heads, and staff employees to discuss the policy change to develop best practices for communicating the change to other employees
Explanation:
Creating a task force at different levels in GM whose sole purpose is to communicate the new policy change and all the effects it would have will ensure that employees at all levels have a better chance of learning of the changes.
Also by holding a series of Town Hall meetings where employees can voice concerns to Mary Barra and other top executives for clarification would be very useful in the drive to helping the employees learn more about the policy change because they will hear it "from the horse's mouth" so to speak.
Informal meetings with front-line and other leaders in the company about the change can go a long way in the information being disseminated as the leaders will take the information back to their subordinates and will be more informed as to how to clarify concerns they may have.
