Answer: C, B, A
Explanation:
First the company would decide that it would like less bad debt risk and would be willing to risk losing sales by instituting tougher restrictions on credit sales.
One such restriction would be that payments must be made within 45 days.
With this restriction, the firm will hope that less doubts are defaulted on so it will not take any action to collect bad debts.
Charlotte's Crochet Shoppe has 11,300 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $65 and a rate of return of 11.21 percent. The company also has 340 bonds outstanding, with a par value of $1,000 per bond. The pretax cost of debt is 5.93 percent and the bonds sell for 94.2 percent of par. What is the firm's WACC if the tax rate is 39 percent
Answer:
Please see below
Explanation:
Given that;
Common stock outstanding = 11,300
Price per share = $65
Number of bonds outstanding = 340
Bonds sell for $94.2 percent of par
Par value per bond = $1,000
Market value of common stock = Common stock outstanding × Price per share
= 11,300 × $65
= $734,500
Market value of debt:
Number of bonds outstanding × [Percent of par × Par value]
= 340 × [0.942 × $1,000]
= 340 × $942
= $320,280
Total market value:
= Market value of common stock + Market value of debt
= $734,500 + $320,280
= $1,054,780
WACC:
= [(Market value of debt ÷ Total market value) × Pretax cost of debt × (1 - Tax rate)] + [(Market value of common stock ÷ Total market value) × Rate of return]
= [($320,280 ÷ $1,054,780) × 0.00593 × (1 - 0.39)] + [($734,500 ÷ $1,054,780) × 0.1121]
= [(0.303646258) × 0.0036173 + [0.00780612545]
= 0.0010983796 + 0.00780612545
= 0.008904505
= 0.89%
You invest $1,000 in a risky asset with an expected rate of return of 0.17 and a standard deviation of 0.40 and a T-bill with a rate of return of 0.04. What percentages of your money must be invested in the risk-free asset and the risky asset, respectively, to form a portfolio with a standard deviation of 0.20
Answer:
50%, 50%
Explanation:
% of money invested in risky asset = Portfolio standard deviation/Standard deviation of risky asset
% of money invested in risky asset = 0.20/0.40
% of money invested in risky asset = 50.00%
% of money invested in risk free asset = 1 - 50.00%
% of money invested in risk free asset = 50.00%

= $34,148 + $27,610 + $58,126
= $119,884
Hence, the cost basis recorded to recognize this purchase is $119,884

Consider a mutual fund with $219 million in assets at the start of the year and with 12 million shares outstanding. The fund invests in a portfolio of stocks that provides dividend income at the end of the year of $6 million. The stocks included in the fund's portfolio increase in price by 7%, but no securities are sold, and there are no capital gains distributions. The fund charges 12b-1 fees of 0.50%, which are deducted from portfolio assets at year-end. a. What is the net asset value at the start and end of the year
Answer:
Missing word "What is the Rate of return"
a. Asset at the end of the year = (Asset at the start of the year + Increase in value) * 12b-1 charges
Asset at the end of the year = ($219 million+ ($219 million * 7%)) * (1-0.50%)
Asset at the end of the year = ($219 million + $15.33 million) * 0.9950
Asset at the end of the year = $234.33 million * 0.9950
Asset at the end of the year = $233.16 million
Net asset value at the end of the year = Asset at the end of the year / Number of shares
Net asset value at the end of the year = $233.15835 million / 12 million
Net asset value at the end of the year = $19.430
b. Rate of return = (Net asset value at the end of the year + dividend per share - Net asset value at the start of the year) / Net asset value at the start of the year
Rate of return = ($19.430 + ($6 / 12) - $18.250) / $18.250
Rate of return = ($19.430 + $0.50 - $18.250) / $18.250
Rate of return = $1.68 / $18.250
Rate of return = 9.20%

A sales manager, Dev, is facing an ethical situation wherein his bicycle company that specializes in mountain bikes sold a bicycle with a defective component. If he informs the customer and issues a recall, it would cost him a substantial amount of money. If the bike malfunctions, there is a very small chance that it could cause serious injury to a cyclist who might use it on rough terrain. He decides to use the egoism approach to decision making and remain silent about the defect, because he:________.
A) is motivated by self-interest.
B) is looking to accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number of people.
C) wants to first consult with his insurer.
D) is motivated to protect the interests of his employees.
E) wants to first consult with others whom he respects.
Answer:
A) is motivated by self-interest.
Explanation:
He decides to use the egoism approach to decision making and remain silent about the defect, because he is motivated by self-interest.
Self-interest refers to some actions that elicit personal benefit.
The egoist approach to ethics is based on the principles of self-interest, individual good, and satisfaction.
Therefore the correct answer is that sales manager, Dev is motivated by self-interest.
When the government imposes an excise tax in a market with a downward-sloping demand curve and an upward-sloping supply curve: _________.
a. consumer surplus falls, producer surplus falls, and a deadweight loss occurs.
b. consumer surplus falls.
c. producer surplus falls.
d. a deadweight loss occurs.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Tax is a compulsory sum levied on the price of goods and services. It increases the price of goods and services
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
If tax increases the price of the good, consumer surplus would reduce
For example, willingness to pay is $20, price before tax is $5 and price after tax is $10. consumer surplus becomes $10 when it was $15 initially
Tax reduces the amount that would be received by the seller. This reduces consumer surplus.
Deadweight loss is the decrease in quantity demanded as a result of tax. Because tax increases price, the quantity demanded would reduce

Which is the most important factor on which motor carriers compete?
Answer:
The correct response is "railroad". A further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
The other passenger transport market is railways, is because rail services are easier and have already been commonly used instead of motor carriers as well as providers.Railways don't always occupy all geographic locations of the nation, but in certain areas of the country, they were a theme or a trend.Your job pays you only once a year for all the work you did over the previous 12 months. Today, December 31, you just received your salary of $54,000 and you plan to spend all of it. However, you want to start saving for retirement beginning next year. You have decided that one year from today you will begin depositing 10 percent of your annual salary in an account that will earn 9.4 percent per year. Your salary will increase at 4 percent per year throughout your career. How much money will you have on the date of your retirement 45 years from today
Answer:
I will have $5,319,216.16 on the date of retiremnet.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the amount of deposit
Amount of annual deposit = Annual salary x Deposit rate
Amount of annual deposit = $54,000 x 10%
Amount of annual deposit = $5,400
Now use the following formula to calculate the balance in the account after 45 years from today
Future value of annuity = [ Periodic Annuity payment x ( 1 + growth rate ) / ( Interst rate - growth rate ) ] x [ ( 1 + interest rate )^numbers ofyears - ( 1 + growth rate )^numbers of years ]
Where
Periodic Annuity payment = Amount of annual deposit = $5,400
Periodic interest rate = 9.4%
Periodic growth rate = 4%
Numbers of years = 45 years
Future value of annuity = Balance after 45 years = ?
Placing values in the formula
Balance after 45 years = [ $5,400 x ( 1 + 4% ) / ( 9.4% - 4% ) ] x [ ( 1 + 9.4% )^45 - ( 1 + 4% )^45 ]
Balance after 45 years = [ $5,616 / 5.4% ] x [ ( 1.094^45 ) - ( 1.04^45) ]
Balance after 45 years = $104,000 x [ 56.987484867 - 5.841175681 ]
Balance after 45 years = $104,000 x 51.146309186
Balance after 45 years = $5,319,216.155344
Balance after 45 years = $5,319,216.16

The following December 31, 2021, fiscal year-end account balance information is available for the Stonebridge Corporation:
Cash and cash equivalents $5,800
Accounts receivable (net) 28,000
Inventory 68,000
Property, plant, and equipment (net) 160,000
Accounts payable 47,000
Salaries payable 19,000
Paid-in capital 140,000
The only asset not listed is short-term investments. The only liabilities not listed are $38,000 notes payable due in two years and related accrued interest of $1,000 due in four months. The current ratio at year-end is 1.6:1.
Required:
Determine the following at December 31, 2021:
1. Total current assets.
2. Short-term investments.
3. Retained earnings.
Answer and Explanation:
The calculations are given below:
1. Total current assets
we know that
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ current liabilities
where,
Current liabilities is
= Accounts payable + Accrued interest + Salaries payable
= $47,000 + $1,000 + $19,000
= $67,000
And,
Current ratio = 1.6:1
So,
Total current assets is
= 1.6 × $67,000
= $107,200
b. Short term investment is
Short term investment = Total current assets - Cash and cash equivalents - Accounts receivables - Inventories
= $107,200 - ($5,800 + $28,000 + $68,000)
= $5,400
c. Now retained earning is
Total assets
= Total current assets + Property, plant and equipment
= $107,200 + $160,000
= $267,200
Total liabilities is
= Current liabilities + Notes payable
= $67,000 + $38,000
= $105,000
Now Retained earnings is
= Total assets - Total liabilities - Paid in capital
= $267,200 - $105,000 - $140,000
= $22,200

Work in process inventory was $13,300 at January 1 and $17,200 at December 31. Finished goods inventory was $68,800 at January 1 and $47,900 at December 31.
Required:
a. Compute cost of goods manufactured.
b. Compute cost of goods sold.
Answer:
a. $352,200
b. $372,100
Explanation:
The cost of goods manufactured
Consider only the manufacturing costs
Cost of goods manufactured = $122,200 + $69,200 + $17,600 + $113,100 + $34,000 + $13,300 - $17,200
=$352,200
Cost of goods sold
Add Cost of goods manufactured to the net of Finished inventory balance
Cost of goods sold = $47,900 $68,800 + $352,200 - $47,900
= $372,100
ims Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The Assembly Department started the month with 5,000 units in its beginning work in process inventory that were 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. An additional 68,500 units were transferred in from the prior department during the month to begin processing in the Assembly Department. There were 33,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Assembly Department that were 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. What were the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department for the month
Answer:
60,300
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department for the month
Conversion
Units transferred to the next department 40,500
(5,000 + 68,500 - 33,000 )
Add Ending work in process 19,800
Conversion: (33,000 units × 60%)
Equivalent units of production 60,300
(40,500+19,800)
Therefore the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department for the month is 60,300
Bryant leased equipment that had a retail cash selling price of $750,000 and a useful life of six years with no residual value. The lessor spent $605,000 to manufacture the equipment and used an implicit rate of 8% when calculating annual lease payments of $150,219 beginning January 1, the beginning of the lease. Lease payments will be made January 1 each year of the lease. Incremental costs of consummating the lease transaction incurred by the lessor were $22,500. What is the effect of the lease on the lessor’s earnings during the first year, not including any effect of depreciation no longer required on the asset under lease (ignore taxes)? (Input decreases to income as negative amounts. Round Interest revenue to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer: $170,482.48
Explanation:
Effect of lease:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold (cost to manufacture) + Interest revenue - Selling expense
Interest revenue = (Selling price - Interest paid) * Interest rate
= (750,000 - 150,219) * 8%
= $47,982.48
Effect of lease = 750,000 - 605,000 + 47,982.48 - 22,500
= $170,482.48

Answer:
$(79,000)
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What would Market's profit margin be if the Talbot division was dropped and all fixed costs are unavoidable
Using this formula
Market's profit margin =Contribution margin - Fixed costs
Let plug in the formula
Market's profit margin=$101,000-$180,000
Market's profit margin=$(79,000)
Therefore What would Market's profit margin be if the Talbot division was dropped and all fixed costs are unavoidable is $(79,000)
There are currently 499 students enrolled in Webster Elementary School, and the number of students is increasing at the rate of 15 students per year. Currently the annual expense to educate one student is $1,252, and the expense to educate one student is decreasing at the rate of $43 per year. Use the product rule to determine the rate at which the total expense to educate the students at Webster Elementary School is currently changing per year.
Answer: Cost is decreasing at $2,677 per year.
Explanation:
The number of students in the school is increasing by 15 students a year.
The cost of that is:
= 15 * 1,252
= $18,780
The cost is also decreasing at a rate of $43 per student per year. There are currently 499 students. The total decrease is therefore:
= 43 * 499
= $21,457
The change is:
= Increase in cost - Decrease in cost
= 18,780 - 21,457
= - $2,677
Cost is decreasing at $2,677 per year.
Ana and Shen need to decide which one of them will need to take time off work to complete the rather urgent task of shearing their llamas. Ana is pretty good with a pair of shears; she can shear the llamas in one hour. Shen is somewhat slow; it takes him six hours to shear the llamas. Ana earns $120 per hour as a business consultant, while Shen earns $15 per hour as a lifeguard.
Keeping in mind that either Ana or Shen must take time off work to shear the llamas, who has the lowest opportunity cost of completing the task?
A. Ana
B. Shen
C. Ana and Shen face identical opportunity costs
Answer:
B
Explanation:
We have to consider the opportunity cost of both parties
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
If Ana chooses to shear, she would be forgoing an income $120
If Shen chooses to shear for 6 hours, she would be forgoing an income ($15 x 6) = 90
Shen has a lower opportunity cost and should shear
Stewart Marketing Inc. manufactures two products, A and B. Presently, the company uses a single plant-wide factory overhead rate for allocating overhead to products. However, management is considering moving to a multiple department rate system for allocating overhead. From the following information, using a single plant-wide rate, determine the overhead rate per unit for Product A:
Overhead Direct Labor Product
Hours (dlh) A B
Painting Dept. $248,000 10,000 dlh 16 dlh 4 dlh
Finishing Dept. 72,000 10,000 4 16
Totals $320,000 20,000 dlh 20 dlh 20 dlh
======== ========== ====== ======
a. $496.00 per unit
b. $320.00 per unit
c. $144.00 per unit
d. $640.00 per unit
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $320
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead Direct Labor Product
Hours (dlh) A B
Painting Dept. $248,000 10,000 dlh 16 dlh 4 dlh
Finishing Dept. 72,000 10,000 4 16
Totals $320,000 20,000 dlh 20 dlh 20 dlh
First, we need to calculate the plantwide overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 320,000 / 20,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $16 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 16*20
Allocated MOH= $320
Energy Manufacturing Inc. provides the following ABC costing information: Activities Total Costs Activity-cost drivers Account inquiry $320,000 16,000 hours Account billing $200,000 4,000,000 lines Account verification accounts $173,250 70,000 accounts Correspondence letters $24,000 4,000 letters Total costs $717,250 The above activities are used by Departments A and B as follows: Department A Department B Account inquiry hours 4,200 hours 2,700 hours Account billing lines 900,000 lines 750,000 lines Account verification accounts 8,000 accounts 6,000 accounts Correspondence letters 1,400 letters 1,800 letters How much of the account inquiry cost will be assigned to Department A
Answer: $84,000
Explanation:
Cost per hour for Account inquiry = Account inquiry cost / Activity cost - drivers
= 320,000 / 16,000 hours
= $20 per hour
Department A has 4,200 hours of account inquiry. Cost will be:
= 4,200 * 20
= $84,000

Moonbeam Company manufactures toasters. For the first 8 months of 2020, the company reported the following operating results while operating at 75% of plant capacity:
Sales (350,000 units) $4,375,000
Cost of goods sold 2,600,000
Gross profit 1,775,000
Operating expenses 840,000
Net income $ 935,000
Cost of goods sold was 70% variable and 30% fixed; operating expenses were 80% variable and 20% fixed. In September, Moonbeam receives a special order for 15,000 toasters at $7.60 each from Luna Company. Acceptance of the order would result in an additional $3,000 of shipping costs but no increase in fixed costs.
Instructions
a. Prepare an incremental analysis for the special order.
b. Should Moonbeam accept the special order?
Answer:
Moonbeam Company
a) Incremental Analysis for the Special Order:
Sales (15,000) at $7.60 $114,000
Variable cost of sales 5.20 78,000
Variable overhead 1.92 28,800
Total variable costs ($106,800)
Contribution $7,200
b) Moonbeam should accept the special order. It makes a contribution of $7,200 to the defraying of the fixed costs.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
operating results while operating at 75% of plant capacity:
Total Unit
Sales (350,000 units) $4,375,000 $12.50
Cost of goods sold 2,600,000
Variable (70%) $1,820,000 5.20
Fixed (30%) 780,000
Gross profit 1,775,000
Operating expenses 840,000
Variable (80%) $672,000 1.92
Fixed (20%) 168,000
Net income $ 935,000
Incremental Analysis for the Special Order:
Sales (15,000) at $7.60 $114,000
Variable cost of sales 5.20 78,000
Variable overhead 1.92 28,800
Total variable costs ($106,800)
Contribution $7,200
b) Incremental analysis concentrates on the variable elements of costs. The method disregards all fixed costs as they are regarded as sunk or past costs, and therefore, irrelevant to the decision at hand.

Question 10 of 10
Which of the following is a true statement based upon the principle of the
time value of money?
A. The value of money does not increase or decrease as time
passes.
B. Money loses value over time if not used.
C. It is always best to receive money at a later point in time rather
than an earlier point in time.
O D. Money increases in value as time passes so long as it is not
invested.
Answer:
B. Money loses value over time if not used.
Explanation:
Money loses value over time and the reason why is inflation.
Inflation is the general increase in the price of the goods and services within an economy. Inflation causes money to lose value over time if not used because it reduces the purchasing power of money. This is why money should be used if it is not to be spent, mainly as a form of investment with the goal of earning an interest rate that is higher than inflation, or at least, equal to inflation.

Flood damage in the Brush Creek area averages $7,000 annually. Civil engineers with floodplain expertise have designed a series of small dams to restrain the flow. They will cost $25,000 and will involve annual maintenance charges of $500. What is the anticipated benefit/cost ratio if the interest rate is 6 %, the service life is 10 years, and the salvage value is $5,000
Answer:
1.89
Explanation:
The benefit cost ratio is used to determine the profitability of an investor. It is determined by dividing the present value of benefit by the present value of cost
Benefit cost ratio (BC) = present value of benefits / present value of costs
if BC is greater than 1, the project is profitable
If BC is less than 1, the project is not profitable
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Present value of benefitsCash flow each year from year 1 to 9 = $7,000
Cash flow in year 10 = $7000 + 5000 = $12,000
I = 6%
PV = $54,312.58
Present value of costsCash flow in year 0 = $25,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 10 = $500
I = 6%
PV = $28,680.04
Benefit cost ratio = $54,312.58 / $28,680.04 = 1.89
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
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 NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
