Answer 1

Answer: Please see explanation column

Explanation:

Journal entry  for June 30

Date      Amount                                         Debit              Credit

June 30 Bond Interest expense               $5,756

Discount on Bonds Payable                                         $506

Cash                                                                                $5,250

Calculation:

Cash = 150,000 x 7%x  6/12 = $5,250

10-year bonds pay interest semiannually indicates 20 interest periods

Straight line Amortization of the discount =$10,125/20 = $506

Bond interest expense=  Interest  + amortization on discount

Interest = $150,000 x  7% x 6/12 = $5,250 + 506= $5,756.

You are developing the project charter for a new project. Which of the following
is NOT part of the enterprise environmental factors?

A) Lessons learned from previous projects
B) The work authorization system
C) Government and industry standards that affect your project
D) Knowledge of which departments in your company typically work on projects

Answers

Answer: A) Lessons learned from previous projects

Explanation:

Enterprise Environmental Factors (EEF) refers to all environmental factors that have a say in whether a project is successful or not. They include both internal factors such as company infrastructure, knowledge and capability (departments with the knowledge on project design and implementation) and internal project authorization systems as well as external factors such as Government standards and market conditions.  

Lessons learned from previous projects, while important, are not included in this list and are not Enterprise Environmental Factors.

Tropetech Inc. has an expected net operating profit after taxes, EBIT(1 – T), of $2,400 million in the coming year. In addition, the firm is expected to have net capital expenditures of $360 million, and net operating working capital (NOWC) is expected to increase by $45 million. How much free cash flow (FCF) is Tropetech Inc. expected to generate over the next year?

Answers

Answer:

FCF = $1,995 million

Explanation:

DATA

EBIT(1-T) = $2,400 million

Net Capital Expenditure = $360 million

Net operating working capital (NOWC) = $45 million

Free cash flow (FCF) expected to generate over next year can be calculated as

FCF = EBIT(1-T) - Capital Expenditure - Net operating working capital (NOWC)

FCF = $2,400 million - $360 million - $45million

FCF = $1,995 million

A. Determine the lot al two-year interest cost under each plan.
Interest Cost
Long term fixed-rate plan
Short term variable-rate
B. Which plan is less costly?
1. Long term fixed-rate plan
2. Short-term variable-rate plan

Answers

Answer:

A. Total two-year interest cost under long term fixed-rate plan is $195,800; while total two-year interest cost under short term variable-rate is $176,220.

B. Short-term variable-rate plan is less costly.

Explanation:

A. Determine the total two-year interest cost under each plan.

This can be determined for each of the plan as follows:

For Long term fixed-rate plan

Total two-year interest cost under long term fixed-rate plan = Amount required * Interest rate per year * Number of years = $890,000 * 11% * 2 = $195,800

For Short term variable-rate

First year interest cost under short term variable-rate = Amount required * First year interest rate = $890,000 * 7.25% = $64,525

Second year interest cost under short term variable-rate = Amount required * Second year interest rate = $890,000 * 12.55% = $111,695

Total two-year interest cost under short term variable-rate = First year interest cost + Second year interest cost = $64,525 + $111,695 = $176,220

Therefore, we have:

                                                         Interest Cost

Long term fixed-rate plan                   $195,800

Short term variable-rate                      $176,220

B. Which plan is less costly?

Since the total two-year interest cost under short term variable-rate of  $176,220 is less than $195,8000 total two-year interest cost under long term fixed-rate plan, the Short-term variable-rate plan is therefore less costly.

Consumers have become more selective and better informed about their purchases. This macro-environmental force strongly impacts this industry.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

The macro-enviromental forces that impact an industry are: demographic, economic, political, ecological, socio-cultural, and technological.

In this case, we can see the socio-cultural macro-enviromental force at play, and perhaps also the demographic macro-enviromental force.

If consumers have become more selective and better informed about their purchases, it is most likely because they have change their culture or social status. Such a change in consumer behaviour can have great impact on an industry: it can boost some goods, while make other decline or disappear.

Such a change can also respond to demographic shift: for example, as consumers age, they tend to become more selective, so a good that used to be favored by a young population, might not be so anymore when that young population grows older.

In order to find the future worth, F, from a present amount, P, 5 years from now at an interest rate of 6 % per year, compounded quarterly, what interest rate must be used in the F/P factor, (F/P,i%,n), when n is 20 quarters

Answers

Answer:

Interest rate = 1.5%

Explanation:

Given:

Future value = F

Present value = P

Number of Year (n) = 5 year × 4 quarters = 20

Interest rate = 6 % per year = 6 / 4 = 1.5% = 0.015

Computation:

Future value = Present value[tex](1+i)^n[/tex]

F/P = (1+0.015)²⁰

F/P = 1.34685501

When n = 20 quarters

F/P = (1+i)²⁰

1.34685501 = (1+i)²⁰

i = 0.015

Interest rate = 1.5%

Explain the provisions of section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act including obligations of officers; nature and scope of assertions; accounting requirements; and legal liability of officers.

"Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act states that the CEO and CFO are directly responsible for the accuracy, documentation and submission of all financial reports as well as the internal control structure to the SEC," according to sarbanes-oxley-101.com.  So, Section 302 is essentially about the responsibilities of principal officers of the company, especially the principal executive and financial officers.

1. Obligations of officers: To certify each annual and quarterly report.  To ensure that the issued financial statements and other financial information are not misleading.  To ensure that the information is fairly presented.

2. Nature and Scope of Assertions:

a) That the information presented are fairly presented with no misleading statements

b) That the internal controls are in place and operating effectively

c) To asset that they are aware of all material information relating to the issuing company

d) That they have evaluated internal controls, their effectiveness, and changes in controls.

3. Accounting requirements:

a) Ensure effective internal accounting controls

b) Disclose all material financial information to auditors and audit committee

c) File periodic reports to SEC in compliance with section 13(a) and 15(d) of the SEC Act of 1934.

4. Legal liability of officers:  This is covered in Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  The section prescribes that officers are liable for "penalties upward of $5 million in fines and 20 years in prison" for any violation of the Act.

Explanation:

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is a federal law which was made in response to the accounting scandals following the collapse of Worldcom and Enron. The purpose of the Act was to safeguard shareholders, employees, and the public from accounting errors and fraudulent financial practices by listed companies.  According to sarbanes-oxley-101.com, the Act requires "all financial reports to include an Internal Controls Report," to prove the accuracy and adequacy of controls for ensuring that financial information is not misleading.

Answers

Explanation:

                               Drive through                Full Service

Annual revenue          200,000                       500,000

Cost                               100,000                        150,000

Income                           100,000                        350,000

Employee                            5                                   15

Income / employee         20,000                        23,333.33

Using simultaneous equation ,

Let X represent the drive through service  ,and Y represent the full service restaurant

Budget = 100,000x + 150,000y ≤ 2,400,000  (equation 1)

Employer = 5x + 15y ≤ 210   (equation 2)

(Divide equation 1 by 10 ,000)

                     10x+ 15y ≤ 240 (equation 3)

Using elimination method, multiply equation 2 by -2

                      10x +15y ≤240

                      -10x - 30y ≤-420

                        -15y ≤ -180

                             y≤ -180/-15

y = 12

substitute y = 12 in equation 3

10x + 15y≤240

10x +180 ≤240

10x≤240-180

10x≤60

x≤6

                   

12         1,800,000      180

6           600,000         30

6 drive through services and 12 full services should be opened.

                           6 Drive through                12 full service            20

Cost                             600,000                      1,800,000           2,400,000

Ratios:

1. Working Capital  = Current assets - Current liabilities

= $2,464,000 - 880,000 = $1,584,000

2. Current ratio  = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

= $2,464,000/880,000 = 2.8 : 1

3. Quick ratio  = (Current Assets - Inventory)/Current Liabilities

= ($2,464,000 - 420,000)/880,000

= $2,044,000/880,000 = 2.3 : 1

4. Accounts receivable turnover  = Average Accounts Receivable / Net Sales

= $542,500/10,850,000 = 0.05 times

Average receivables = ($585,000 + 500,000)/2 = $542,500

5. Number of days' sales in receivables  = Days in the year/Accounts receivable turnover

= 365/0.05 = 7,300 days

6. Inventory turnover  = Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory

= $6,000,000/400,000 = 15 times

Average Inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2

= ($420,000 + 380,000)/2 = $400,000

7. Number of days' sales in inventory  = Number of days in a year divided by Inventory turnover ratio = 365 /15 = 24.3 days

8. Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities  = Fixed Assets/Long-term Liabilities = $5,760,000/3,200,000 = 1.8 : 1

9. Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity  = Total Liabilities/Stockholders' equity = $4,080,000 / $4,944,000 = 0.83 or 80%

10. Times interest earned  = Earnings before Interest and Taxes / Interest Expense = $1,152,000/132,000 = 8.7 times

11. Asset turnover  = Sales Revenue / Average Total Assets

= $6,000,000/$8,639,000 = 0.7 or 70%

Average Total Assets = Beginning total assets + Ending total assets, all divided by 2

= ($9,024,000 + 8,254,000)/2 = $8,639,000

12. Return on total assets  = EBIT/Average Total Assets

= $1,152,000/$8,639,000 = 13%

13. Return on stockholders' equity  = Earnings after tax/Shareholders' equity = $600,000/$4,944,000 x 100 = 12%

14. Return on common stockholders' equity  = EAT/Common Shareholders' Equity = $600,000 - 10,000/($4,944,000 - 250,000) x 100

= 12.6%

15. Earnings per share (EPS) on common stock  = Net Income divided by the number of outstanding common shares = $600,000/100,000 = $6 per share.

16. Price-earnings ratio  = Market price of shares/EPS = $82.80/$6 = 13.8

17. Dividends per share of common stock  = Dividends/Common Stock shares = $100,000/100,000 shares = $1

18. Dividend yield = Dividend per share / Market price per share = $1/$82.80 = 1.2%

Explanation:

1. Working Capital  is the difference between current assets and current liabilities.

2. Current ratio  is a liquidity ratio of current assets over current liabilities.

3. Quick ratio  is the current ratio modified with the subtraction of inventory.

4. Accounts receivable turnover  is an accounting measure that shows how quickly customers pay for the credit sales.

5. Number of days' sales in receivables  measures the number of days it takes a company to collect its credit sales.  It is a function of the number of days in a year divided by the accounts receivable turnover ratio.

6. Inventory turnover  is a ratio showing how many times a company has sold and replaced its inventory during a given period.

7. Number of days' sales in inventory  is the result of dividing the days in the period by the inventory turnover formula.  It shows the number of days inventory is held before being sold.

8. Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities  shows how much of long-term liabilities is represented in fixed assets.

9. Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity  is a financial leverage ratio that shows the relationship between liabilities and stockholders' equity.

10. Times interest earned  (TIE) ratio measures the ability of a company to settle its debt obligations based on its current income.  To calculate the TIE number, take the Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and  divide by the total interest expense.

11. Asset turnover  is a ratio of sales over average assets, which shows company's efficiency in using assets to generate sales.

12. Return on total assets  measures the percentage of earnings before interest and taxes over the average total assets.  It can  be obtained by multiplying profit margin with total asset turnover.

13. Return on stockholders' equity  is a financial ratio that is calculated by dividing a company's earnings after taxes (EAT) by the total shareholders' equity, and then multiplying the result by 100.

14. Return on common stockholders' equity  measures the ratio of earnings after taxes less Preferred Stock Dividend over the common shareholders' equity.

15. Earnings per share on common stock  is the ratio of earnings divided by the number of outstanding common stock shares.  It measures the earnings per share that the company has generated for the common stockholders.

16. Price-earnings ratio  is a ratio of the market price of shares over the earnings per share.  It is used to determine if a company's share is overvalued or undervalued.

17. Dividends per share of common stock  is the dividend paid divided by the number of outstanding common stock.

18. Dividend yield is the ratio of the dividend per share over the market price per share.

Westchester Corp. is considering two equally risky, mutually exclusive projects, both of which have normal cash flows. Project A has an IRR of 11%, while Project B's IRR is 14%.

If the WACC is greater than 14%, Project A's IRR will exceed Project B's. c. If the WACC is 13%, Project A's NPV will be higher than Project B's. d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's. e. If the WACC is 6%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.

Answers

Answer:

d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the return in which the NPV is zero i.e cash inflows equal to the initial investment

While the WACC refers to the cost of capital by considering the capital structure i.e cost of equity, cost of preferred stock and cost of debt by taking their weightage

Now if the WACC is 9% so project B NPV would be higher as compared to project A as we can see that project B IRR is greater than the project A IRR

Therefore option d is correct

Required 2.

Land  $163,215 (debit)

Land improvements $65,286 (credit)

Buildings $97,929 (credit)

Cash $310,000 (credit)

Explanation:

Allocation of the purchase cost must be made on the bases appraisal value.

Total Appraisal Value =  $215,000 + $86,000 + $129,000

                                    =  $430,000

Land = $215,000 /  $430,000 × $326,430

        = $163,215

Land improvements =  $86,000 / $430,000 × $326,430

                                 = $65,286

Buildings = $129,000 / $430,000 × $326,430

The issued share capital is the proportion of the authorized share capital that a company has decided to offer to investors to raise capital.

The total amount of issued share capital raised would be equal to

Issued share capital = units issued × price per units

                                 = 10,000 × $5 = $50,000

Amount of cash received = $50,000

Based on the information given the amount that the company received is $50,000.

Using this formula

Cash received=Shares of common stock× Per share

Where:

Shares of common stock=10,000 shares

Per share=$5 per share

Let plug in the formula

Cash received=10,000×$5

Cash received=$50,000

Inconclusion the amount that the company received is $50,000.
