Answer:
$62,500
Explanation:
As it is mentioned above the partners share profit and losses equally. So If there are four partners the proportion should be 25%
So year 2 Profit share for partner E would be 200,000 x 25% = $50,000
So the basis of partner E in year 1 = $25,000
LESS: Partner E drawings = ($10,000)
ADD: Profit share for year 2 = $50,000
LESS: Allowable expenditure = ($2,500)
Amoun of E's basis in year 2 = $62,500i
You purchase a bond with a coupon rate of 8.6 percent, a par value of $1,000, semiannual coupons, and a clean price of $860. If the next coupon payment is due in three months, what is the invoice price
Answer:
The answer is $881.5
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The accrued interest is refers to the payment (coupon) for the time with the fraction of the time that has exceed since the last coupon payment.
Since we have a semiannual coupon bond, the coupon payment for six months is 1/2 of the annual coupon payment.
Three months has exceeded since the last coupon payment.
So the accrued interest for the bond is given below:
Accrued Interest = $86/2 * 3/6
= $21.5
Thus
The price (dirty) = Clean Price + Accrued Interest
= $860 + $21.5
= $881.5
Therefore the invoice price is $881.5
At the beginning of a year, a company predicts total direct materials costs of $1,020,000 and total overhead costs of $1,220,000. If the company uses direct materials costs as its activity base to apply overhead, what is the predetermined overhead rate it should use during the year
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.961 per direct material dollar
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
At the beginning of a year, a company predicts total direct materials costs of $1,020,000 and total overhead costs of $1,220,000.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,220,000/1,020,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.961 per direct material dollar

Paladin Furnishings generated $4 million in sales during 2016, and its year-end total assets were $2.4 million. Also, at year-end 2016, current liabilities were $500,000, consisting of $200,000 of notes payable, $200,000 of accounts payable, and $100,000 of accrued liabilities. Looking ahead to 2017, the company estimates that its assets must increase by $0.60 for every $1.00 increase in sales. Paladin's profit margin is 3%, and its retention ratio is 55%. How large of a sales increase can the company achieve without having to raise funds externally
Answer:
$105,571.6
Explanation:
Calculation of how large of a sales increase can the company achieve without having to raise funds externally.
The first step is to calculate the self-supporting growth rate using this Formula:
Self-supporting growth rate =
M (1-POR) (S0)÷A0 – L0 – M (1-POR) (S0)
Where:
M = Net Income/Sales = 3%
POR = Payout ratio = 55%
S0 = Sales = $4,000,000
A0 = $2,400,000
L0 = Spontaneous liabilities = $200,000+$100,000 =$300,000
We are using only accounts payable and accruals for LO because they are been considered as spontaneous liabilities
Let plug in the formula
.03 (1 - .55) (4,000,000) ÷2,400,000-300,000 - .01(1-.55)(4,000,000)
=54,000÷2,100,000 – 54,000
=54,000÷2,046,000
=2.63929%
Therefore, the self-sustaining growth rate will be 2.63929%
Second step is to Calculate for how large a sales can increase
Using this formula
Sales amount * Self-sustaining growth rate
Let plug in the formula
$4,000,000×2.63929%
=$105,571.6
Therefore, the sales can increase by $105,571.6
Review the "Types of Distribution Channels" study material. Explain why the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy. Provide an example of a well-known company's distribution channels and defend their choices. In replies to peers, agree or disagree with their assessment and justify your response.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not provide a specific text, we can say that the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy because that is how companies deliver their products to consumers. This is of key importance due to the fact that there are numerous competitors selling the same or similar products so the company has to be precise and effective in delivering the product to match the client's expectations.
One good example of a successful company would be Underarmour. This Maryland company sells its products through direct distribution, uses intermediaries and brokers, has open many outlets where the company sells direct to the consumer, and also sells products through e-commerce portals. You can find Underarmour apparel in big chain stores, fashion stores, the internet, and sports stores.
At the beginning of its current fiscal year, Willie Corp.’s balance sheet showed assets of $13,400 and liabilities of $5,200. During the year, liabilities decreased by $1,400. Net income for the year was $2,850, and net assets at the end of the year were $8,950. There were no changes in paid-in capital during the year. Required: Calculate the dividends, if any, declared during the year.
Answer:
Willie Corp.
Calculation of dividends during the year:
Dividends = $5,900 ($14,850 - $8,950)
The difference between the accounting equation of Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Explanation:
Past Fiscal Year:
Assets = $13,400
Liabilities = $5,200
Equity = $8,200 ($13,400 - 5,200)
Current Fiscal Year:
Assets = $8,950
Liabilities = $3,800 ($5,200 - 1,400)
Equity = $8,200
Net Income = $2,850
Total Liabilities + Equity + Net Income = $14,850
Dividends paid = $5,900 ($14,850 - $8,950)
The solution is in the accounting equation, which states that Assets are equal to the Liabilities plus the Equity. Any difference must therefore be an increase in equity (Retained Earnings) or a decrease (Net Loss or Dividends). What reduces equity is the dividends paid out to stockholders or the loss incurred during the period. Since there was a net income of $2,850, there was no loss, therefore, equity reduces as a result of dividends.
Depreciation associated with a project will: Answer A. cause incremental cash flows to increase B. only affect the fixed asset account as depreciation is a sunk cost C. have no effect on incremental cash flows D. cause incremental operating cash flows to decrease
Answer: A. cause incremental cash flows to increase
Explanation:
Incremental Cashflow (ICF) is the added cash that a company gets from embarking on a project which means that this Cashflow must be independent of expenses. If ICF is positive then the company will see it's Cashflow increase if they accept the project because it will contribute to their cash flow.
ICF is calculated from the Net Income of the project but seeing as Depreciation is a non-cash expense that is removed from the Income Statement. In calculating ICF it is added back as ICF deals with actual cash and Depreciation did not cost any actual cash.
More Depreciation therefore means an increase in Incremental Cash flow when it is being calculated from Net Income.
11.Jones and company had a balance in their retained earnings account at the end of 2020 in the amount of 990,000. They have forecasted net income in 2021 in the amount of 350,000. They pay an estimated 40% of their net income in dividends. What will be the addition to retained earnings at the end of 2021. What will be the ending balance in retained earnings at the end of 2021
Answer:
$210,000 and $1,200,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Given that
Ending Balance in retained earnings = $990,000
Net income = $350,000
Dividend paid in 2021 is
= 40% of net income
= 40% of $350,000
= $140,000
So, the Addition to retained earning is
= Net income - dividends
= $350,000 - $140,000
= $210,000
Now the ending balance in retained earnings is
= Beginning balance in retained earnings + addition to retained earnings
= $990,000 + $210,000
= $1,200,000

McCoy Brothers manufactures and sells two products, A and Z in the ratio of 5:2. Product A sells for $75; Z sells for $95. Variable costs for product A are $35; for Z $40. Fixed costs are $418,500. Compute the contribution margin per composite unit
Answer:
Weighted average contribution margin= $44.29
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales proportion:
Product A= 5/7= 0.714
Product Z= 2/7= 0.286
Product A sells for $75; Z sells for $95.
Variable costs for product A are $35; for Z $40.
To determine the contribution margin per composite unit, we need to use the following formula:
Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
Weighted average contribution margin= (0.714*75 + 0.286*95) - (0.714*35 + 0.286*40)
Weighted average contribution margin= 80.72 - 36.43
Weighted average contribution margin= $44.29
Steven has a typed copy of a contract, which he would like to have Thomas sign. Thomas, who needs glasses to read typing, doesn't want to sign until he has read the document, but Steven convinces Thomas to sign it anyway, because it is a "standard" contract for this type of situation. Is the contract which Thomas signed binding upon him?
Answer:
Yes, because he was negligent in not ascertaining its contents
Explanation:
Based on the information provided regarding the scenario at hand it can be said that Yes, this contract is binding upon Thomas because he was negligent in not ascertaining its contents. Each individual is responsible for completely reading and fully understanding the contents of the contract before they sign. Once an individual signs the contract it means that they fully agree with all that is specified in the contract and are held liable. Thomas should have waited until he had his glasses and read the contract before signing, regardless of what Steven had to say.

On January 2, 2020, Bridgeport Company borrowed $174,000 from Lyon Country Bank. The terms of the loan agreement specified 4 equal annual payments at 4% annual interest. Compute the amount of each of these payments, assuming they begin on December 31, 2020.
Answer:
annual payment = $50,460
Explanation:
In order to solve this, we will use the formula for calculating simple interest on an invested amount over a period of time.
Simple interest = Principal × Rate × Time
Where:
Principal = $174,000
Rate = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04
Time = 4 years (4 annual payments)
∴ Simple interest = 174,000 × 0,04 × 4 = $27,840
Total amount to be paid = principal + interest
= 174,000 + 27,840 = $201,840
since 4 equal annual payments were made, the amount to be repaid is divided into 4. This is done as follows:
annual payments = 201,840 ÷ 4 = $50,460
Rodgers Inc. is imports paper from Shanghai China. In a typical transaction Rodgers receives a delivery of paper from the Chinese Company and pays the company in Yuan. In all transactions, the amounts and payments are set today, but all deliveries, payments, and revenues come 90 days later. How can Rodgers hedge its foreign currency risk
Answer:
Rodgers can hedge its foreign risk by using a Contract to buy Yuan in the futures market today at an agreed upon price in 90 days.
Explanation:
Solution
Since Rodgers receives a delivery of paper from the Chinese Company and pays the company in Yuan, so he has to hedge his exchange rate risk by buying or purchasing Yuan future contract for 90 days.
So, Rodgers Incorporation should make a contract to buy Yuan in the future market today at an agreed price in 90 days.
bartleby Bramble Co. uses the gross method to record sales made on credit. On July 1, 2020, it made sales of 59,000 with terms 2/10 n/30. On July 9, 2020, Bramble received full payment for the July 1 sale. Prepare the required journal entries for Bramble Co.
Answer:
Dr cash $57,820.00
Dr sales discount $1180.00
Cr accounts receivable $59,000.00
Explanation:
Since payment was made during the discount period,hence the payment received would have been net of discount of 2%.
Discount=2%*$59,000=$1180
cash received=$59,000-$1,180=$ 57,820.00
The cash would be debited to cash account and the discount would also b debited to sales discount with the full amount being being credited to accounts receivable.
Your parents are giving you $170 a month for 5 years while you are in college. At a 7 percent discount rate, what are these payments worth to you when you first start college
Answer:
PV= $8,586.15
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $170
Number of months= 5*12= 60
Discount rate= 0.07/12= 0.00583
First, we need to calculate the future value, using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {170*[(1.00583 ^60)-1]} / 0.00583
FV= $12,169.53
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 12,169.53/(1.00583^60)
PV= $8,586.15
You are evaluating an investment that requires $2,000 upfront, and pays $500 at the end of each of the first 2 years, and an additional lump-sum of $1000 at the end of year 2. What would happen to the IRR if the annual payment at the end of the first year go down from $500 to $300 and the annual payment at the end of second year stays at $500
Answer:
The IRR decreases
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
To determine what happens to the IRR when year 1 Cash flow changes, we have to calculate the IRR in both scenarios.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
IRR when year 1 cash flow in $500
Cash flow in year 0 = $-2000
Cash flow in year 1 = $500
Cash flow in year 2 = $500 + $1000 = $1500
IRR = 0
IRR when year 1 cash flow in $500
Cash flow in year 0 = $-2000
Cash flow in year 1 = $300
Cash flow in year 2 = $1500
IRR = -5.57%
The IRR decreases and turns negative
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.

Stocks A and B each have an expected return of 15%, a standard deviation of 20%, and a beta of 1.2. The returns on the two stocks have a correlation coefficient of 0.6. Your portfolio consists of 50% A and 50% B. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. The portfolio's expected return is 15%.
B. The portfolio's standard deviation is greater than 20%.
C. The portfolio's beta is greater than 1.2.
D. The portfolio's standard deviation is 20%.
E. The portfolio's beta is less than 1.2.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (A) The portfolio's expected return is 15%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Both Stock A and B have a return expected to be =15%
Standard deviation of =20%
Beta = 1.2
Correlation coefficient = 0.6
Now,
The expected return of the portfolio is computed as follows:
Expected return (ERp) = (ERₐ * Wₐ) +(ERb * Wb)
Expected return (ERp) = (15% *50%) +(15%* 50 %)
Expected return (ERp) = (0.075) + (0.075)
Expected return (ERp) =0.15 or 15%
Expected return (ERp) = 15%
In 2016, Teller Company sold 3,000 units at $600 each. Variable expenses were $420 per unit, and fixed expenses were $270,000. The same selling price, variable expenses, and fixed expenses are expected for 2017. What is Teller's break-even point in units for 2017
Answer:
1500
Explanation:
Breakeven point is the number of units produced and sold where net income is art on it is where revenue equals cost.
The formula for calculating break even points = F / (P - V)
F = fixed cost
P = price
V = variable cost per unit
$270,000 / ($600 - $420) = 1500

Assume a company pays tax at a rate of 15% on its first $50,000 of income. Any income above $50,000 is taxed at 25%. If a company has $75,000 of taxable income, which of the following statements is correct?
a. Its marginal tax rate is 15%.
b. Its average tax rate is 25%.
c. Its marginal tax rate is 18.33%.
d. Its average tax rate is 18.33%.
Answer:
Option C, Its marginal tax rate is 18.33%. is correct
Explanation:
The tax payable on its first $50,000 of income is shown below:
tax payable=$50,000*15%=$7500
The tax payable on the remaining balance of $25,000 is computed thus:
tax payable on the balance of $25,000=$25,000*25%=$6250
Total tax payable=$7,500+$6,250=$ 13,750.00
Marginal tax rate=tax payable/taxable income=$ 13,750.00/$75,000=18.33%

The Statement of Cash flows is prepared under the following headings :
Cash flow from Operating ActivitiesCash flow from Financing ActivitiesCash flow from Investing ActivitiesDuring the period, Sanchez Company sold some excess equipment at a loss. The following information was collected from the company's accounting records:
From the Income Statement:
Depreciation expense $860
Loss on sale of equipment 2,800
From the Balance Sheet:
Beginning equipment 20,000
Ending equipment 10,200
Beginning accumulated depreciation 1,950
Ending accumulated depreciation 1,790
No new equipment was bought during the period.
1) For the equipment that was sold, determine its original cost, its accumulated depreciation, and the cash received from the sale.
2) Sanchez Company uses the indirect method for the Operating Activities section of the cash flow statement. What amount related to the sale would be added or subtracted in the computation of Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities?
3) What amount related to the sale would be added or subtracted in the computation of Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities?
Answer:
1) For the equipment that was sold, determine its original cost, its accumulated depreciation, and the cash received from the sale.
original cost = $9,800accumulated depreciation = $1,020cash received = $5,9802) Sanchez Company uses the indirect method for the Operating Activities section of the cash flow statement. What amount related to the sale would be added or subtracted in the computation of Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities?
the loss on sale of equipment ($2,800) should be added to the cash flows from operating activities.3) What amount related to the sale would be added or subtracted in the computation of Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities?
the cash received ($5,980) should be added to the cash flow from investing activitiesExplanation:
equipment cost = beginning equipment - ending equipment = $20,000 - $10,200 = $9,800
equipment's accumulated depreciation = beginning accumulated depreciation + depreciation expense - ending depreciation = $1,950 + $860 - $1,790 = $1,020
book value = $9,800 - $1,020 = $8,780
cash received = book value - loss = $8,780 - $2,800 = $5,980
Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $75,000 or $330,000 with equal probabilities of 0.5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 4% per year.
A. If you require a risk premium of 7%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?
B. Suppose the portfolio can be purchased for the amount you found in (a). What will the expected rate of return on the portfolio be?
C. Now suppose you require a risk premium of 15%. What is the price you will be willing to pay now?
Answer:
A. $182,432.43
B. 11%
C. $165,983.607
Explanation:
A. The computation of value of portfolio is shown below:-
Value of portfolio = (Cash flow × equal probabilities) ÷ (1 + (Risk free rate + Risk premium))
= (($75,000 × 0.5) + ($330,000 × 0.5)) ÷ (1 + (4% + 7%))
= $202,500 ÷ 1.11
= $182,432.4324
or
= $182,432.43
B. The computation of expected rate of return on the portfolio is shown below:-
Rate of return is
= (Cash flow × equal probabilities) - (value of portfolio) ÷ (value of portfolio)
= ($202,500 - $182,432.43) ÷ $182,432.43
= $20,067.57 ÷ $182,432.43
= 0.11
or
= 11%
C. The computation of value of portfolio is shown below:-
Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk premium
= 7% + 15%
= 22%
Price = Expected cash flow ÷ (1 + Required rate of return)
= $202,500 ÷ (1 + 0.22)

Assume the assembly division of Baxter Bicycles wants to buy 5,800 trailers per year from the trailer division. If the trailer division can sell all of the trailers it manufactures to outside customers, what price should be used on transfers between Baxter Bicycles's divisions
Answer: $104
Explanation:
The Trailer division has the capacity to sell ALL of its inventory to outside customers for a price of $104.
They will therefore transfer the trailers to the Assembly line at the same price of $104 that they charge outside customers because anything less would be a loss on profit that could have been made from selling the trailers outside.
This loss on profit would affect the entire Baxter Bicycles and not just the Trailer Division so it is better to sell and transfer at the same price.
Liability policies, such as personal liability, professional malpractice, or business liability insurance, do NOT protect the insured against a. a personal injury on the insured's property, such as the mail carrier who slips and falls on the owner's sidewalk. b. intentional harm caused by the insured. c. someone injured by the insured away from home or business. d. claims for property damaged by the insured.
Answer:
b. intentional harm caused by the insured.
Explanation:
Liability insurance is a means to provide the insured party with some protection against claims resulting from injuries and damage to people or property, covering both legal costs and any payouts for which the insured party would be responsible if found legally liable.
Note that there are two types of liability coverage: bodily injury and property damage. Most states in the US require liability coverages, subject to limits, which is the maximum amount the insurer will pay when the incident occurs. For example, a car accident can be expensive. This is why there is a limit of compensation which an insurer can offer.
Emily is considering purchasing a new home for $400,000. She intends to put 20% down and finance $320,000, but is unsure which financing option to select. Emily is considering the following options: o Option 1: Fixed rate mortgage over 30 years at 8% interest, zero points, or o Option 2: Fixed rate mortgage over 30 years at 4% interest, plus two discount points. How long would her financial planner recommend that she live in the house to break even using Option 2 presuming she is not financing the points
Answer:
The break even for Emily using Option 2 presuming she is not financing the points is 7.8
Explanation:
Solution
In this case, in other to determine this problem, we need to find the monthly payments for both options
For option 1 (EMI)
Where
P = 320,000,
r =0.08/12 = 0.00667
n = 360
Now,
EMI = P *r * (1 + r)^n/ (1 + r)^n -1
So,
EMI =320,000 * 0.00667 * (1 + 0.00667)^360/ (1 + 0.00667)^360
EMI = 23329.56/9.93573
=2348.05
For Option 2
P = 320,000,
n = 360
r = 4%/12 = 0.003333
Thus,
EMI =320,000 * 0.003333 * (1 + 0.003333)^360/ (1 + 0.003333)^360
EMI = 3534.398/2.313498
=1527.73
Note:
When Emily is paying 2 discount point in the second option, she is paying the following:
2% * 320000 = 6400
Also she is saving the following:
2.348.05 - 1527.73
=820.32 on payment (monthly) because of the reduction of EMI in the second option
Thus,
The break even time is =payments due to points/ monthly savings
=6400/820.32
=7.8
A global brand is a brand marketed under the same name in multiple countries with similar and centrally coordinated marketing programs. However, adaptations of global brands are made:________.a. if required by government regulations in the host market and for no other reason.b. only in its initial introduction into a market and only until the brand is recognized.c. by domestic competitors causing brand confusion and loss of market share.d. only when necessary to better connect the brand to consumers in different markets.e. when there is a serious drop in market share.
Answer:
Option (D) is the correct answer to this question.
Explanation:

In the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because: a. of government regulations. b. of collusion. c. firms are free to enter and exit the market. d. firms produce a differentiated product.
Answer:
c. firms are free to enter and exit the market.
Explanation:
A monopolistically competitive market is a market in which there are a lot of organizations that sell products that are similar and it tends to be easy to enter and leave the industry. Because it is easy for a company to enter the market and there is a lot of competition, in the long run the economic profit is zero. According to this, the answer is that in the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because firms are free to enter and exit the market.
The other options are not right because a monopolistically competitive market has zero profits because of its low entry barriers and amount of competitors not because of government regulations or an illegal agreement between organizations to control competition. Also, in a monopolistically competitive market the products are similar.
Ayayai Inc. presented the following data. Net income $2,680,000 Preferred stock: 48,000 shares outstanding, $100 par, 8% cumulative, not convertible 4,800,000 Common stock: Shares outstanding 1/1 729,600 Issued for cash, 5/1 273,600 Acquired treasury stock for cash, 8/1 160,800 2-for-1 stock split, 10/1
Compute earnings per share. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.55.)
Answer:
$1.35 per share
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the weighted shares outstanding.
The earnings per share can be computed as follows:
Weighted shares outstanding = 1,702,000 shares
Preferred stock dividend = 48,000 * $100 * 8% = $384,000
Net income = $2,680,000
Net income after preferred stock dividend = $2,680,000 - $384,000 = $2,296,000
Earnings per share = Net income after preferred stock dividend / Weighted shares outstanding = $2,296,000 / 1,702,000 = $1.35 per share
