Answer:
300 shares
Explanation:
Based on Family attribution rules the rules often requires that the family attribution should occur between parents, their children and grandchildren, regardless of their age.
But based on the information given in which Panda Company is owned equally by Min, her husband, Bin, her sister Xiao, and her grandson, Han in which each of them hold 100 shares in the company which means Under the family attribution rules we would excludes Min sister Xiao from the shares.
Hence, the shares of Panda stock that Min is deemed to own will be:
Min +husband Bin + her grandson Han =3 individual
100 shares ×3=300 shares
Therefore Under the family attribution rules, 300 shares of Panda stock is what Min is deemed to own
g If the U.S. real exchange rate appreciates, U.S. exports a. increase and U.S. imports decrease. b. decrease and U.S. imports increase. c. and U.S. imports both increase. d. and U.S. imports both decrease.

Rose Project is a nongovernmental not-for-profit entity established to help runaway children. Every year, Rose holds a charity benefit at which participants are asked to make pledges. This year, Rose received the following pledges: Unrestricted $500,000 Restricted for counseling programs 200,000 The pledges are legally binding and are expected to be received within the next 12 months. Rose estimates that 5% of the pledges will be uncollectible. At what amount should the pledges be reported on Rose’s balance sheet as pledges receivable?
A. $665,000
B. $475,000
C. $190,000
D. $700,000
Answer:
A. $665,000

Unrestricted $500,000
Restricted for counseling programs $200,000
Hence, Total Outstanding Pledge = $500,000 + $200,000 = $700,000
The Amount of Provision to be reported = $700,000 x 5% = $35,000
Amount should the pledges be reported on Rose’s balance sheet as pledges receivable will be $700,000 - $35,000
= $665,000

Thom owes $5,000 on his credit card. The credit card carries an APR of 17.3 percent compounded monthly. If Thom makes monthly payments of $170 per month, how long will it take for him to pay off the credit card assuming that he makes no additional charges
Answer:
39 months
Explanation:
loan balance $5,000
APR = 17.3% compounded monthly / 12 = 1.44167% monthly interest rate
monthly payment = $170
if we use the present value of annuity formula:
PV = payment x ({1 - [1/(1 + r)ⁿ]} / r)
5,000 = 170 x ({1 - [1/(1 + 0.0144167)ⁿ]} / 0.0144167)
29.4118 = {1 - [1/(1.0144167)ⁿ]} / 0.0144167
0.42402 = 1 - [1/(1.0144167)ⁿ
1/(1.0144167)ⁿ = 0.57598
1.0144167ⁿ = 1 / 0.57598 = 1.73617
n log1.0144167 = log1.73617
n 0.00621639 = 0.2395926
n = 0.2395926 / 0.00621639 = 38.54 ≈ since the payments must be made in full months, we have to round up to 39 months
to check our answer:
PV = payment x ({1 - [1/(1 + r)ⁿ]} / r)
PV = 170 x ({1 - [1/(1 + 0.0144167)³⁹]} / 0.0144167)
PV = $5,044.36
Bruno Corporation is involved in the business of injection molding of plastics. It is considering the purchase of a new computer-aided design and manufacturing machine for $430,300. The company believes that with this new machine, it will improve productivity and increase quality, resulting in an increase in net annual cash flows of $98,800 for the next 6 years. Management requires a 10% rate of return on all new investments
Required:
a. Calculate the internal rate of return on this new machine. Should the investment be accepted?
b. Calculate cash payback period, internal rate of return, and apply decision rules.
Answer:
10%
Yes
4.36 years
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-430,300
Cash flow each year from year one to six = $98,800
IRR =10%
The project should be accepted because the IRR is equal to the required rate of return
Cash payback calculates how long it takes for the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flow.
Cash payback = amount invested / cash flow =
$430,300 / $98,800 = 4.36 years
To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

The next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $2.34 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4.5 percent forever. The stock currently sells for $37 per share. a. What is the dividend yield? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the expected capital gains yield? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place, e.g., 32.1.)
Answer:
Dividend yield= 6.37%
Expected capital gains yield= 4.5%
Explanation:
The next dividend payment that will be made by Savitz incorporation is $2.34 per share
The dividends are expected to have a growth rate of 4.5 percent forever
The stock is currently being sold for $37 per share
(A) The dividend yield can be calculated as follows
Dividend yield= Dividend per share/Price per share
= $2.34/$37
= 0.0632×100
= 6.32%
Dividend yield= 6.32%
(B) The expected capital gains yield can be defined as the increase in the price of the stock that is being sold. Since the growth rate of the stock is expected to remain at 4.5% forever then, the expected capital gains yield is 4.5%
Hence the dividend yield is 6.32% and the expected capital gains yield is 4.5%

"Columbia Corp.'s required ROI is 10%. Its East Division has operating assets of $7,500,000, profit margin of 15%, and asset turnover of 0.80. Calculate the East Division's operating income."
Answer:
East Division operating income = $900,000
Explanation:
Profit margin = Net operating income/Sales
Asset turnover = sales/average operating assets
0.80= x/7,500,000
x = 7500000*0.80
= 6000000
Thus, sales = 6,000,000
Profit margin = net operating income/Sales
15% = x /6,000,000
x= 6,000,000*15%
=900,000
Net operating income = 900,000
The Jewel Golf Club Company, which recently began using a kanban system, has had problems with high inventory levels of one of the handle grips used to make several versions of its clubs. Daily demand for the grip is 3000 units, average waiting time during production is 0.20 day, processing time is 0.10 day per container, and a container holds 150 grips.Use the information in Case 6.2. How many Kanban containers would Jewel require if a 10% policy variable is used? a. three or fewer b. four or five c. five or six d. six or seven
Answer:
d. six or seven
Explanation:
Given that:
Daily demand for the grip = 3000 units
average waiting time = 0.20 day
processing time = 0.10 day / container
a container holds = 150 grips
percentage of policy used = 10% = 0.10
The objective of this question is to determine the amount of Kanban containers would Jewel require.
the amount of Kanban containers = Demand ( wasting time + processing time)(1+percentage policy)/ amount of container holding
the amount of Kanban containers = 3000( 0.2 + 0.1) ( 1+ 0.10)/ 150
the amount of Kanban containers = 3000 ( 0.30) (1.10)/150
the amount of Kanban containers = 990/150
the amount of Kanban containers = 6.6
SO we can infer that the amount of Kanban containers would Jewel require if a 10% policy variable is used falls within the range of six or seven.
Phillips Rock and Mud is trying to determine the maximum amount of cash dividends it can pay this year. Assume its balance sheet is as follows:
Assets Cash $ 406,000
Accounts receivable 832,000
Fixed assets 1,014,000
Total assets $ 2,252,000
Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity
Accounts payable $ 473,000
Long term payable 368,000
Common stock (300,000 shares at $2 par) 600,000
Retained earnings 811,000
Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 2,252,000
a-1. From a legal perspective, what is the maximum amount of dividends per share the firm could pay? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
a-2. Is this realistic?
A. Yes
B. No
b. In terms of cash availability, what is the maximum amount of dividends per share the firm could pay? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. Assume the firm earned an 20 percent return on stockholders’ equity last year. If the board wishes to pay out 40 percent of earnings in the form of dividends, how much will dividends per share be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a-1. From a legal perspective, what is the maximum amount of dividends per share the firm could pay?
Dividends can only be paid from retained earnings because a corporation can distribute dividends only if it has made a profit.
Maximum amount of dividends per share = $811,000 / 300,000 common shares = $2.7033 per share
a-2. Is this realistic?
B. No
No corporation has a 100% dividend payout rate because it uses retained earnings to finance existing or new projects.
b. In terms of cash availability, what is the maximum amount of dividends per share the firm could pay?
$1.35 per share because the firm has $406,000 in cash and it has 300,000 outstanding shares.
c. Assume the firm earned an 20 percent return on stockholders’ equity last year. If the board wishes to pay out 40 percent of earnings in the form of dividends, how much will dividends per share be?
ROE = net income / stockholders' equity
20% = net income / $1,411,000
net income = $1,411,000 x 20% = $282,200
dividends = $282,200 x 40% = $112,880
dividends per share = $112,880 / 300,000 = $0.38 per share

Structuring a Special-Order Problem Harrison Ford Company has been approached by a new customer with an offer to purchase 10,000 units of its model IJ5 at a price of $5 each. The new customer is geographically separated from the company's other customers, and existing sales would not be affected. Harrison normally produces 75,000 units of IJ5 per year but only plans to produce and sell 60,000 in the coming year. The normal sales price is $12 per unit. Unit cost information for the normal level of activity is as follows: Direct materials $1.75 Direct labor 2.50 Variable overhead 1.50 Fixed overhead 3.25 Total $9.00 Fixed overhead will not be affected by whether or not the special order is accepted.
Direct Materials $1.75
Direct Labor 2.50
Variable Overhead 1.50
Fixed Overhead 3.25
Total $9.00
Requried:
a. What are the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives (accept or reject the special order)?
b. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
Answer:
Effect on income= $7,500 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Special offer:
Units= 10,000
Price= $5
Production costs:
Direct Materials $1.75
Direct Labor 2.50
Variable Overhead 1.50
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Effect on income= number of units*unitary contribution margin
Effect on income= 10,000*(5 - 1.75 - 2.5 - 1.5)
Effect on income= $7,500 increase

Answer:
pension funds usually make conservative investments
Explanation:
Pension funds are pools of investment that are used to prepare an employee for retirement. Pension contributions are made either by the employer or the employee.
These funds are collected and invested by Pension Fund Administrators (PFA).
Primarily pension funds are invested in stocks and bonds.
The aim of the investments is to make low risk profit on the funds. So Ryan is not worried about the safety of his pension contributions because they are put in conservative investments that have low risk of loss.

Answer:
Suppose that ABC overstates its ending inventory for 2018. What effect will this have on the reported amount of cost of goods sold for 2018?
C. Understate cost of goods sold.Cost of goods sold = beginning inventory + purchases during the period - ending inventory. If ending inventory is overstated, then COGS are understated.
The adjusting entry required when amounts previously recorded as deferred revenues are earned by providing goods or services to customers includes:_______
B) A debit to a liability.Deferred revenues are liabilities with credit balances, therefore, when they are actually earned, they must decrease with a debit.

After deciding to acquire a new car, you can either lease the car or purchase it with a three-year loan. The car you want costs $38,000. The dealer has a leasing arrangement where you pay $105 today and $505 per month for the next three years. If you purchase the car, you will pay it off in monthly payments over the next three years at an APR of 6 percent. You believe that you will be able to sell the car for $26,000 in three years. a. What is the present value of leasing the car
Answer:
The present value of leasing the car is $16,704.86 and the break even sale price is $25483.48.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
The monthly rate =0.06/12 =(6%/12)
the number of period = 3 * 12 =23
Now
The present value of leasing the car is computed below:
Payment day =$105
add: Present value of future monthly payment = 505 * (1-(1+(0.06/12))^-36/(0.06/12)
= 166,599,86
Present value of the car =$105 +$166,599,86
=$16,704.86
Thus
The present value of purchasing the car:
Purchase cost = $38,000
Less: present value of resale = 26000/(1+(0.06/12))^-36
=21,726.77
Present value of purchasing the car is $38,000 + $21,726.77
=$16,273.23
Now
The break even sale price
Let the resale price be x
38000 -(x/((1+(0.06/12))^-36 =16704.86
(x/((1+(0.06/12))^-36 = 38000 - 16704.86
(x/((1+(0.06/12))^-36 = 21295.14
x = ((1+(0.06/12))^-36 * 212954.14
x = 25483.48
Therefore the present value of leasing the car is $16,704.86 and the break even sale price is $25483.48
A seller lists property with a multimillion-dollar broker. The broker's agreement calls for him to enter the listing into the MLS within three working days. On the second day, the broker shows the property to a prospective buyer, who loves it. The buyer is leaving town the next day but will be back in one week to purchase it if it is still on the market. The broker wants to double his commission by selling his own listing, so he withholds the information from the MLS for 10 days. Based on this information, the broker ______________.
Answer: B) may be liable to the seller for violating duties required by the listing agreement.
Explanation:
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a database that allows brokers to cooperate in finding buyers for homes. They list the properties for sale and if other brokers know people who need such a house they will reach out and buy it. The listing broker and the selling broker will then share commissions.
This is what the broker was trying to avoid by withholding the information from the MLS.
However, the broker is in violation of the listing agreement which stated that he should post it on the MLS within 3 working days and as such there is a very real chance that he is liable to the seller for this violation.
1. Based on the following information calculate the expected return and standard deviation for two stocks: State of Economy Probability of State of Economy Rate of Return if State Occurs Stock A Stock B Recession .15 .04 −.17 Normal .55 .09 .12
The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.
Question:
Based on the following information calculate the expected return and standard deviation for two stocks:
State of Economy Recession Normal Boom
Probability of State of Economy .15 .55 0.30
Rate of Return if State Occurs
Stock A .04 .09 .17
Stock B -.17 .12 .27
Answer:
The expected return of stock A is 10.65%
The expected return of stock B is 12.15%
The standard deviation of stock A is 4.5%
The standard deviation of stock B is 13.92%
Explanation:
The expected return of stock A is given by
[tex]E(A) = \sum ROR_{A} \cdot P \\\\E(A) = 0.04\cdot 0.15 + 0.09 \cdot 0.55 + 0.17 \cdot 0.30 \\\\E(A) = 0.006 + 0.0495 + 0.051 \\\\E(A) = 0.1065 \\\\[/tex]
Therefore, the expected return of stock A is 10.65%
The expected return of stock B is given by
[tex]E(B) = \sum ROR_{B} \cdot P \\\\E(B) = -0.17\cdot 0.15 + 0.12 \cdot 0.55 + 0.27 \cdot 0.30 \\\\E(B) = -0.0255 + 0.066 + 0.081 \\\\E(B) = 0.1215 \\\\[/tex]
Therefore, the expected return of stock B is 12.15%
The standard deviation of stock A is given by[tex]\sigma_A = \sqrt{\sum (ROR_{A} -E(A))^2 \cdot P} \\\\\sigma_A = \sqrt{(0.04 -0.1065)^2 \cdot 0.15 + (0.09 -0.1065)^2 \cdot 0.55 + (0.17 -0.1065)^2 \cdot 0.30} \\\\\sigma_A = \sqrt{0.000663337 + 0.000149737 + 0.00120967} \\\\\sigma_A = 0.045[/tex]Therefore, the standard deviation of stock A is 4.5%
The standard deviation of stock B is given by[tex]\sigma_B = \sqrt{\sum (ROR_{B} -E(B))^2 \cdot P} \\\\\sigma_B = \sqrt{(-0.17 -0.1215)^2 \cdot 0.15 + (0.12 -0.1215)^2 \cdot 0.55 + (0.27 -0.1215)^2 \cdot 0.30} \\\\\sigma_B = \sqrt{0.012745 + 0.0000012375 + 0.00661567} \\\\\sigma_B = 0.1392[/tex]Therefore, the standard deviation of stock B is 13.92%
Yo-Down Inc. produces yogurt. Information related to the company’s yogurt production follows:
Production Department 1 Production Department 2 Production Department 3
Support Department 1 cost driver 1,600 100 300
Support Department 1’s costs total $120,000. Using the direct method of support department cost allocation, determine the costs from Support Department 1 that should be allocated to each production department.
Production Department 1 Production Department 2 Production Department 3
Support Department 1 cost allocation $ $ $
Answer:
Yo.Down Inc.
Determination of Support Department 1 costs to be allocated to each production department:
Production Production Production
Department 1 Department 2 Department 3
Support Department 1 $96,000 $6,000 $18,000
Explanation:
a) Cost allocation of Support Department 1:
1) Rate of allocation = Total Support Department 1's costs divided by the total of the cost drivers
= $120,000/2000 = $60 per cost driver
2) Production Department 1 = $60 x 1,600 = $96,000
Production Department 2 = $60 x 100 = $6,000
Production Department 3 = $60 x 300 = $18,000
3) The direct method is one of the three methods for allocating support or service department costs to the production departments in order to ensure the full inclusion of overhead costs in the production costs. As the name goes, the costs of service departments are allocated to only production departments individually. This method is not like the step method of cost allocation where the costs of service departments are allocated to other service departments, starting with the department with the highest costs, followed by the next, until all the costs of service departments are allocated to production. However, no service department whose total costs have been allocated will be allocated any costs. The last method of cost allocation is the reciprocal method, which is a more complicated method that produces more accurate results, by using equations to establish relationships between the departments.
