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 purpose of a buffer statement in a negative message is to ________. a. ensure that the company avoids legal liability. b. reduce the reader's shock or pain related to the bad news. c. inform the reader of the reasons for the bad news. d. explain company policy regarding the bad-news message.
Answer:
The correct answer is: b. reduce the reader's shock or pain related to the bad news.
Explanation:
Communication is a fundamental tool that promotes synergy for a company to achieve its objectives and goals. Through this process, it is possible to pass on essential information, integrate employees, strengthen the organization's reputation, promote a good relationship with the internal and external environment, etc.
However, many times companies also need to transmit some bad news, so it is important that there are resources and tools so that communication is carried out in a clear and effective manner without causing any type of situation that alarms the recipients of the message, therefore the buffer statement is used at the beginning of a letter or commercial communication to reduce the impact of bad news, helping to prepare the reader for what will be communicated, explaining the context of the message in a more neutral and not so alarming way.
A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,050,000 and can be sold for $670,000 at the end of the project. The asset is in the 5-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, and 11.52 percent, respectively. The company's tax rate is 34 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?
Answer:
$718,606.4
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the accumulated depreciation
=$3,050,000×(0.2+0.32+0.192+0.1152)
= $3,050,000×0.8272
= $2,522,960
The accumulated depreciation is then subtracted from the book value in purchase to get the book value on sale
= $3,050,000-$2,522,960
= $527,040
The next step is to subtract the book value on sale from the salvage value
= $527,040-$670,000
= -$142,960
Loss of - $142,960
The tax gain on disposal can be calculated as follows
= -$142,960×34/100
= -$142,960×0.34
= -$48,606.4
Therefore, the after-tax salvage value can be calculated as follows
= salvage value-tax disposal
= $670,000-(-48,606.4)
= $670,000+$48,606.4
= $718,606.4
Hence the aftertax salvage value of the equipment is $718,606.4

Salaries $12,000 FICA taxes withheld 900 Income taxes withheld 2,500 Medical insurance deductions 450 Federal unemployment taxes 32 State unemployment taxes 216 The journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 would include a:_______. a. debit to Salaries Payable for $7,902 b. debit to Salaries Expense for $7,902 c. debit to Salaries Payable for $8,150 d. credit to Salaries Payable for $8,150
Answer:
The journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 would include a credit to Salaries Payable for $8,150. The right answer is d.
Explanation:
In order to prepare The journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 we would have to calculate the Salaries Payable as follows:
Salaries Payable=Salaries-FICA taxes withheld+Income taxes withheld+Medical insurance deductions
Salaries Payable=$12,000-$900+$2,500+$450
Salaries Payable=$8,150
Therefore, journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Salaries $12,000
FICA withheld $900
Income taxes withheld $2,500
Medical insurance deductions $450
salaries payable $8,150
So, The journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 would include a credit to Salaries Payable for $8,150
A stock has an expected return of 15.0 percent, its beta is 0.90, and the risk-free rate is 5.3 percent. What must the expected return on the market be
Answer:
16.07%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on the market is shown below
As we know that
Expected Return on stock = Risk free return + beta ( Expected Market Rate of Return - Risk free return )
15 % = 5.3% + 0.90 × (Expected Market Rate of Return - 5.3%)
15 % - 5.3% ÷ 0.90 = Expected Market Rate of Return - 5.3%
10.77% = Expected Market Rate of Return - 5.3 %
So, expected market rate of return is
= 10.77 + 5.3%
= 16.07%
We simply applied the above formula

George's Chemicals allocates overhead based on machine hours. Selected data for the most recent year follow. Estimated manufacturing overhead cost $235,000 Actual manufacturing overhead cost $244,200 Estimated machine hours 20,300 Actual machine hours 22,700 The estimates were made as of the beginning of the year, while the actual results were for the entire year. The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per machine hour is closest to
Answer:
$11.58 per machine hour
Explanation:
Given that: Estimated Manufacturing overhead cost =$235,000, Actual manufacturing overhead cost = $244,200 Estimated machine hours = 20,300, Actual machine hours= 22,700
The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per machine hour = Estimated manufacturing overhead cost / Estimated machine hours
= $235,000 / 20,300
= $11.5763
= $11.58 per machine hour

An associate professor of physics gets a $200 a month raise. She figures that with her new monthly salary she can buy more goods and services than she could buy last year.
a. Her real and nominal salary have risen.
b. Her real and nominal salary have fallen.
c. Her real salary has risen and her nominal salary has fallen.
d. Her real salary has fallen and her nominal salary has risen.
Answer:
a. Her real and nominal salary have risen
Explanation:
Her nominal salary is the amount she earns. the $200 increase is an increase in her nominal salary.
Her real salary is calculated in the amount of goods and service she can purchase given her income. Since with the $200, she can buy more goods and services, her real salary has also increased.

The Company uses a periodic inventory system. For specific identification, ending inventory consists of 215 units, where 190 are from the January 30 purchase, 5 are from the January 20 purchase, and 20 are from beginning inventory. Determine the cost assigned to ending inventory and to cost of goods sold using (a) specific identification, (b) weighted average, (c) FIFO, and (d) LIFO.
Answer:
Ending inventory:
(a) specific identification = $2,720(b) weighted average = $2,810.05(c) FIFO = $2,687.50(d) LIFO = $3,010Cost of goods sold:
(a) specific identification = $6,495(b) weighted average = $6,404.95(c) FIFO = $6,527.50(d) LIFO = $6,205Explanation:
Date Activity Units Cost Total
Jan. 1 Beg. inventory 215 $14 $3,010
Jan. 10 Sales 165
Jan. 20 Purchase 160 $13 $2,080
Jan. 25 Sales 190
Jan. 30 Purchase 330 $12.50 $4,125
total Purchases 705 $13.07 $9,215
Ending inventory:
(a) specific identification = (190 x $12.50) + (5 x $13) + (20 x $14) = $2,720
(b) weighted average = 215 x $13.07 = $2,810.05
(c) FIFO = 215 x $12.50 = $2,687.50
(d) LIFO = 215 x $14 = $3,010
Cost of goods sold:
(a) specific identification = $9,215 - $2,720 = $6,495
(b) weighted average = $9,215 - $2,810.05 = $6,404.95
(c) FIFO = $9,215 - $2,687.50 = $6,527.50
(d) LIFO = $9,215 - $3,010 = $6,205
Huprey Co. is the defendant in the following legal claims. For each of following claims, does Humphrey (a) record a liability, (b) disclose in notes, or (c) have no disclosure. 1. Humphrey can reasonably estimate that a pending lawsuit will result in damages of $1,280,000it is probable that Huprey will lose the case. Have no disclosure. Disclose in notes. Record a liability. 2. It is reasonably possible that Huprey will lose a pending lawsuit. The loss cannot be estimable. Record a liability. Disclose in notes. Have no disclosure. 3. Huprey is being sued for damages of $2,400,000. It is very unlikely (remote) that Huprey will lose the case. Disclose in notes. Record a liability. Have no disclosure.
Answer:
1. Record a liability.
2. Disclose in notes.
3. Disclose in notes.
Explanation:
The issue here relates to a Contingent Liability which is a provision that is recorded in the books as a liability if there is a likelihood that the firm will incur it in future. This is usually done for law suits.
The general rule is: Record a liability if the loss is probable and estimable.
If a loss is not probable, disclose it in the notes.
If a loss is not estimable, disclose it in the notes.
1. Loss is both estimable and it is probable that Humphrey will lose the case. It should be recorded as a liability.
2. It is probable that Humphrey will lose the case however, loss is not estimable. Disclose in the notes.
3. It is not probable that Humphrey will lose the case. Disclose in the notes.
Accounts Receivable has a balance of $ 5 comma 000, and the Allowance for Bad Debts has a credit balance of $ 420. The allowance method is used. What is the net realizable value of Accounts Receivable after a $ 140 account receivable is written off?
Answer:
$4,580
Explanation:
since we are using the allowance method, the journal entry to record the write off is:
Dr Allowance for bad debts 140
Cr Accounts receivable 140
So the accounts receivable balance = $5,000 - $140 = $4,860
the allowance for bad debts balance = $280
accounts receivable net balance = $4,860 - $280 = $4,580
Allowance for bad debts accounts is a contra asset account that reduces the balance of accounts receivable.
TwitterMe, Inc., is a new company and currently has negative earnings. The company’s sales are $2.1 million and there are 130,000 shares outstanding. a. If the benchmark price-sales ratio is 4.3, what is your estimate of an appropriate stock price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What if the price-sales ratio were 3.6? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. $69.46
b. 58.15
Explanation:
a. Price = Benchmark PS ratio × Sales per share
Sales per Share
= Sales / Shares outstanding
= 2,100,000/130,000
= $16.15
Price = 4.3 * 16.15
Price = $69.46
b. PS Ratio is 3.6
Price = Benchmark PS ratio × Sales per share
Price = 3.6 * 16.15
Price = $58.15

(4,000 Shares *$ 5 Par Value)
Cr Paid-in Capital in excess of par value Common Stock $15,000
($35,000-$20,000)
2.Since they issued 2,000 shares of no-par common stock estimated to be worth the amount of $40,000. This means that the transaction will be recorded as:
Dr Organization expenses $40,000
Cr Common stock $2,000
(2,000 Shares*$1 stated value)
Cr Paid-in cap in excess of stated value Common Stock $38,000
(40,000-2,000)
3. Based on the information given we were told that they issued 2,000 shares of no-par common estimated to be worth the amount of $40,000 in which the stock has no stated value, this means that the transaction will be recorded as.

b. "The nationâs inflation rate rose to a record high last month, the government reported yesterday. The consumer price index jumped 0.3% in January. Coupled with the announcement earlier this month that unemployment had risen by 0.5 percentage points, the reports suggested that the first month of President Nixonâs second term had gotten off to a rocky start."
c. "President Carter expressed concern about reports of rising inflation but insisted the economy is on the right course. He pointed to recent reductions in unemployment as evidence that his economic policies are working."
Answer:
a. "President Nixon expressed satisfaction with last year's economic performance. He said that with inflation and unemployment heading down, the nation is on the right course."
⇒ RECOVERY. Economic recovery refers to the economy starting to grow again after a period of recession. A rightward shift in the aggregate supply curve should decrease unemployment and reduce inflation.
b. "The nation's inflation rate rose to a record high last month, the government reported yesterday. The consumer price index jumped 0.3% in January. Coupled with the announcement earlier this month that unemployment had risen by 0.5 percentage points, the reports suggested that the first month of President Nixon's second term had gotten off to a rocky start."
⇒ STAGFLATION. Stagflation refers to a combination of high inflation and high unemployment. A leftward shift in the aggregate supply curve can result in stagflation.
c. "President Carter expressed concern about reports of rising inflation but insisted the economy is on the right course. He pointed to recent reductions in unemployment as evidence that his economic policies are working."
⇒ PHILLIPS. According to the Phillips curve, inflation and unemployment are inversely correlated. if inflation goes up, unemployment should go down. Phillips theory was discredited due to stagflation occurring during Nixon's presidency. Nixon created stagflation for the first time in the US since it isn't normal that inflation rises as unemployment increases. That shows you how good a president he was, he even invented new things for Americans to enjoy.

Meade Nuptial Bakery makes very elaborate wedding cakes to order. The company has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools. The activity rate for the Size-Related activity cost pool is $1.22 per guest. (The greater the number of guests, the larger the cake.) The activity rate for the Complexity-Related cost pool is $36.21 per tier. (Cakes with more tiers are more complex.) Finally, the activity rate for the Order-Related activity cost pool is $83.33 per order. (Each wedding involves one order for a cake.) The activity rates include the costs of raw ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, and shortening. The activity rates do not include the costs of purchased decorations such as miniature statues and wedding bells, which are accounted for separately. Data concerning two recent orders appear below: Ericson Wedding Haupt Wedding Number of reception guests 72 191 Number of tiers on the cake 6 4 Cost of purchased decorations for cake $ 21.45 $ 77.65 Assuming that all of the costs listed above are avoidable costs in the event that an order is turned down, what amount would the company have to charge for the Ericson wedding cake to just break even

Risk and Return. Suppose that the risk premium on stocks and other securities did, in fact, rise with total risk (i.e., the variability of returns) rather than just market risk. Explain how investors could exploit the situation to create portfolios with high expected rates of return but low levels of risk. (LO12-2)
Answer:
The overview of the given scenario is described in the explanation segment below.
Explanation:
Diversification could never eradicate the systematic risk. It's indeed primarily even though all securities shift somewhat in unison (a significant part of their volatility is purposeful) also that diversified stock strategies remain volatile. Additionally, if I am a thing that separates by purchasing a proportion throughout the S & P indicator, I would also have indeed very variable returns because the global economy as a whole has been fluctuating widely.The unsystematic risk seems to be the volatility in share markets arising through factors unique to something like an individual's abilities. The risk involved with this kind of volatility is essentially the form whereby diversification could increasing.The entire premise of portfolio selection would be that, to both the degree that shares don't shift in unison all of the occasions, variations throughout the performance from every other given sector appear to have been wiped clean or softened out by additional differences in contributions from several other investments.You plan to borrow $35,000 at a 7.5% annual interest rate. The terms require you to amortize the loan with 7 equal end-of-year payments. How much interest would you be paying in Year 2
Answer:
$2,250
Explanation:
Since terms require you to amortize the loan with 7 equal end-of-year payments, it implies that interest will be paid on the amount outstanding balance for a whole year.
The would be paid in Year 2 can therefore be calculated as follows:
Equal amount of the loan principal = Loan amount / Number of equal end-of-year payments = $35,000 / 7 = $5,000
Loan balance outstanding throughout Year 2 = Loan amount - Year 1 end-of-year payment = $35,000 - $5,000 = $30,000
Year 2 interest payable = Loan balance outstanding throughout Year 2 * Annual interest rate = $30,000 = 7.5% = $2,250.
Therefore, you would be paying $2,250 interest in Year 2.
