It doesn't surprise you at all that Alex is a bit confused by what these activities mean. You explain the following: Cash flows from operations are cash inflows and outflows caused by the restaurant's main business -- selling food and beverages and catering. Cash flows from investing are payments made to acquire long-term assets or cash received from the sale of long-term assets. Cash flows from financing reflect changes in debt, loans, or dividends. You're still getting a blank look from Alex, so you give him a series of examples to help him understand the different categories. Consider each of the following items and determine whether it affects cash flows from operating, investing, or financing, and whether it is a cash inflow or a cash outflow. Then drag and drop that item into the correct bucket and click Submit. 1. The restaurant buys a new 10-burner range and convection oven. 2. You pay off the mortgage on the building. 3. You obtain a short-term loan from the bank. 4. You pay the supplier for a shipment of meat. 5. You sell a used walk-in cooler. 6. A company pays for its catering bill by giving you a check. 7. You send in your quarterly estimated income tax payment. 8. The restaurant buys a new delivery truck to be used in its growing catering business. 9.

As of January 31 As of February 28
Inventory account balances:
Raw materials inventory $42,000 $30,000
Work in process inventory $9,200 $20,600
Finished goods $56,000 $33,500
Additional information for the month ended February 28:
Raw materials purchased $198,000
Factory payroll $150,000
Actual factory overhead costs:
Indirect materials $15,000
Indirect labor $34,500
Other overhead costs $13,500
Sales $1,100,000
Predetermined overhead rate (based on direct labor costs) = 55% of DL costs
Compute the following amounts for the month of February. You must show all of your work, either using formulas or using T-accounts.
a. Cost of direct materials used.
b. Total manufacturing costs.
c. Cost of goods manufactured.
d. Cost of goods sold.(ignore effects of underapplied / overapplied overhead)
e. Gross profit.
f. Overapplied or underapplied overhead.
Answer:
a. $195,000
b. $423,525
c. $412,125
d. $434,625
e. $665,375
f. $525 over-applied
Explanation:
a. Cost of direct materials used.
Cost of direct materials used = Opening Materials Inventory + Materials Purchase - Ending Materials Inventory - Indirect materials
= $42,000 + $198,000 - $30,000 - $15,000
= $195,000
b. Total manufacturing costs.
Total manufacturing costs = Variable Manufacturing Costs + Fixed Manufacturing Costs
Total manufacturing costs calculation
Direct materials $195,000
Direct Labor ($150,000 - $34,500) $115,500
Indirect materials $15,000
Indirect labor $34,500
Other overhead costs - applied ($115,500 x 55%) $63,525
Total Cost $423,525
c. Cost of goods manufactured.
Cost of goods manufactured = Opening Work In Process + Total manufacturing costs - Closing Work In Process
= $9,200 + $423,525 - $20,600
= $412,125
d. Cost of goods sold.
Cost of goods sold = Opening Finished Goods Inventory + Cost of goods manufactured - Closing Finished Goods Inventory
= $56,000 + $412,125 - $33,500
= $434,625
e. Gross profit.
Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold
= $1,100,000 - $434,625
= $665,375
f. Overapplied or underapplied overhead
If Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads, we have under-applied overheads
and
If Applied Overheads > Actual Overheads, we have over-applied overheads
where,
Actual Overheads = $15,000 + $34,500 + $13,500 = $63,000
Applied Overheads = $63,525
Over-applied overheads = Applied Overheads - Actual Overheads
= $63,525 - $63,000
= $525

Returns on ABC, Inc. are forecast to be the following: State Probability Return Boom 0.25 30% Normal 0.65 15% Bust 0.10 -14% What is the standard deviation of this company’s stock? 11.82% 11.56% 11.32% 11.07% 10.83%
Answer:
Standard deviation=11.82%
Explanation:
Standard deviation is measure of the total risks of an investment. It measures the volatility in return of an investment as a result of both systematic and non-systematic risks. Non-systematic risk includes risk that are unique to a company like poor management, legal suit against the company .
Standard deviation is the sum of the squared deviation of the individual return from the mean return under different scenarios
Expected return (r) = (30% × 0.25 ) + (15% × 0.65) + (-14%× 0.10)=15.8%
Outcome (R- r )^2 × P
Boom (30%-15.8)^2× 0.25 = 50.05
Normal (15%-15.8)^2×0.65 = 0.47
Bust ( 13.6%- 15.8)^2 ×0.1= 89.10
139.63
Standard deviation =√139.63= 11.82%
Standard deviation=11.82%

Identify which of the following statements is true. Group of answer choices All of the above are false. If a C corporation does not distribute its income to its shareholders annually, double taxation cannot occur. C corporation operating losses are deductible by the individual shareholders. Capital losses incurred by a C corporation can be used to offset the corporation's ordinary income.
Answer:
All of these are false
Explanation:
The c corporation is a corporation that is entered if the investors or shareholders are large. That is they exceed 100. The investors or shareholders pay taxes on dividends. They are subjected to what is called double taxation and are taxed separately from the owners. The obligations of the corporation are not personal to any individual and liability of the owners, workers or shareholders are limited

A prospective employer reviews an applicant's work history and personal references. In
addition, he or she may review the applicant's credit report. Why would an employer be
interested in the credit report of a job applicant when making hiring decisions?
Answer: Responsibility check.
Explanation:
A person's credit report can sometimes tell an employer what they need to know about how the prospective employee can handle responsibility because it shows how the person handles their financial obligations.
For instance, a person who's report shows is in financial distress will not be considered very responsible as opposed to some whose credit report is in good shape. To put it in perspective, would a bank like to hire a teller in financial distress? Chances are very negative for that.

Answer:
everyone is willing to pay the taxes to receive the benefits.
Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
The different types of tax include the following;
1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.
2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.
3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.
A Lindahl equilibrium can be defined as an economic state in which there is a production of an optimal quantity of public goods and the cost of these goods is shared in a fair manner among everybody. It was developed by Erik Lindahl.
In a Lindahl equilibrium everyone is willing to pay the taxes to receive the benefits.

On January 1, 2020 Roberts acquires 100% of Smith by issuing 100,000 shares (par value $2, fair value $10). Smith will remain as a wholly owned subsidiary of Roberts. At acquisition date, Smith had a book value of assets of $800,000 and a book value of liabilities of $200,000. Included in the assets Smith had land with a book value of $400,000 and a fair value of $330,000. Included in the liabilities, Smith had a Note Payable with a book value of $120,000 and a fair value of $80,000. What is the amount of goodwill or gain on bargain purchase at January 1, 2020.
Answer:
$430,000
Explanation:
The excess of Purchase Price over the Net Assets taken over is known as Goodwill.
Acquisition of Assets and Liabilities of a subsidiary are made at their Acquisition date Fair Value amounts.
Assets Fair Value
Book Value $800,000
Adjust Land Revalued ($70,000)
Assets fair value $730,000
Liabilities Fair Value
Book Value $200,000
Adjust Note Payable Revalued ($40,000)
Liabilities fair value $160,000
Now,
Net Assets Acquired = $730,000 - $160,000 = $570,000
Purchase Price = 100,000 x $10 = $1,000,000
Goodwill = $430,000
Therefore,
the amount of goodwill or gain on bargain purchase at January 1, 2020 is $430,000

First, we need to calculate the future value of the first option using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {420,000*[(1.06^25) - 1]} / 0.06
FV= $23,043,095.04
Now, to determine the lump-sum to receive today, we need to determine the present worth of the annuity:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 23,043,095.04 / (1.06^25)
PV= $5,369,009.59
(4) Asset A has an expected return of 15% and a Sharpe ratio of .4. Asset B has an expected return of 20% and a Sharpe ratio of .3. A rational risk-averse investor would prefer a portfolio using the risk-free asset and ______. A. asset A B. asset B C. no risky asset D. not enough information to determine the answer
Answer: A. Asset A
Explanation:
The Sharpe ratio is used to adjust the return earned on an asset based on its risk. This allows investors to know the returns they are getting for risk being taken.
A higher Sharpe ratio is preferred to a lower one as it shows that more returns are being received per risk taken. A rational risk averse investor would therefore pick Asset A because they would be getting more return for the risk they take regardless of how little this risk is.
If the coupon interest rate remains constant from the time of issue until the bond matures, then the bond is called afixed-rate bond.

When are issuers more likely to call an outstanding bond issue
Answer:
If the coupon interest rate remains constant from the time of issue until the bond matures, then the bond is called a FIXED-RATE bond.
A fixed rate bond will see its coupon interest rate remain the same during the entire duration of the bond.
The contract that describes the terms of a borrowing arrangement between a firm that sells a bond issue and the investors who purchase the bonds is called the INDENTURE.
An indenture in the context of a bond is a legal agreement that states the terms that the investors and the bond issuer will abide by which makes it a borrowing arrangement.
When are issuers more likely to call an outstanding bond issue?
a. When interest rates are lower than they were when the bonds were issued.
When interest rates are lower, issuers are more likely to call a bond so that they can be able to reissue another bond at a lower interest which would then reduce their interest payments.

Industries helped this climax change, mainly the automotive and the technological industries. Soon the White House and the OHH made a new administrative group the AFC, basically, this said that if a financial counselor was not an A-certified Financial counselor they were not employed by the U.S.

I tell you that if you rake all the leaves in my yard, I will show up to Business Law class next week. You immediately come over and start raking the leaves. Halfway through the job you decide to leave to do some extra Business Law reading for fun. I run after you and say, "you didn’t finish, I will sue you for this!" Your best defense is:
Answer: d. There was no valid consideration
Explanation:
Valid consideration is a clause in contract law that states that the contract cannot be valid if both sides did not make a promise to fulfil some duty to each other.
You made a promise that you would come to Business Law class if I raked the yard, however, I never made a promise that I would rake the yard if you came to class. There was therefore no valid consideration.
