General Plant Management Costs
Cost is $100,000
These costs are allocated on the basis of number of production employees.
Melting Department employs 35 workers and Molding employs 40 for a total of 75.
Melting Department = [tex]\frac{35}{75} * 100,000[/tex]
Melting Department = $46,666,67
Molding Department = [tex]\frac{40}{75} * 100,000[/tex]
Molding Department = $53,333.33
Plant Security Costs
Cost is $50,000
These costs are allocated on the basis of space occupied by the production departments.
Melting Department occupies 10,000ft² and Molding occupies 20,000 ft² for a total of 30,000 ft²
Melting Department = [tex]\frac{10,000}{30,000} * 50,000[/tex]
Melting Department = $16,666,67
Molding Department = [tex]\frac{20,000}{30,000} * 50,000[/tex]
Molding Department = $33,333.33
2. Melting Department
= 110.000 + 46,666.67 + 16,666.67
= $173,333.34
Molding Department
= 400,000 + 53,333.33 + 33,333.33
= $486,666.66

What will be your rate of return if the price of Telecom stock goes up by 10% during the next year? (Ignore the expected dividend.)
Answer:
The answer is 12%
Explanation:
Initial investment:
$5,000 in equity + $5,000 in debt
=$10,000
Number of shares bought with the initial investment is:
Initial investment/Stock price
= $10,000/$50 = 200 shares.
The shares increase in value by 10%: $10,000 x 0.10 = $1,000.
Interest on debt = $5,000 x 0.08 = $400.
The rate of return will be:
($1,000 - $400) ÷ $5,000
0.12
Expressed as a percentage:

HH Industries has 50 million shares that are currently trading for $4 per share and $200 million worth of debt. The debt is risk free and has and interest rate of 5%, and the expected return of HH stock is 11%. Suppose a strike causes the price of HH stock to fall 25% to $3 per share. The value of the risk free debt is unchanged. Assuming there are no taxes and the risk of HH's assets is unchanged, what happens to HH's equity cost of capital
Answer:
12%
Explanation:
For computing the equity cost of capital first we have to determine the weight of the capital structure after that the WACC and then finally equity cost of capital which is shown below:
Weight of capital structure
For debt
= $200 million ÷ $400 million
= 0.50
For equity
= 50 million × $4 ÷ $400 million
= 0.50
Now the WACC is
= 0.50 11% + 0.50 × 5%
= 8%
Since the value fo equity is declined by
= 50 × $3
= $150
Now the equity cost of capital is
= WACC + (WACC - interest rate) × (debt ÷ equity)
= 8% + (8% - 5%) × (200 ÷ 150)
= 12%
The specific meaning of goodwill in accounting is: Multiple Choice The amount by which a company's value exceeds the value of its individual assets and liabilities. Long term assets held as investment. The support of the board of directors for the operating decisions of management. The cost of developing, maintaining, or enhancing the value of a trademark. Rights granted an entity to deliver a product or service under specified conditions.
Answer:
Option A. The amount by which a company's value exceeds the value of its individual assets and liabilities
Explanation:
The reason is that goodwill not only measures the business valuable tangible and intangible assets but also the intangible assets that can not be valued which the company has earned due to its business operations, this includes customer loyalty, key employees, brand's value, etc.
This is the reason why the value of the company's aggregate assets are always above the aggregate market value of assets not sold altogether. Hence the option A is correct here.
A corporate bond has a 6% annual coupon, $1000 par value, and 25 years left to maturity. If the bond currently sells for a premium of 1120, what is the yield to maturity
Answer:
Yield to Maturity = 5.21%
Explanation:
The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:
YM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YM-Yield to maturity-
C- annual coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
YM-?, C- 6%× 1000 =60, Face Value - 1,000, P-1120
YM = (60 + (1000-1120)/25) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 1120) )
YM = 0.0520 × 100 = 5.207
Yield to Maturity = 5.21%

In Concord, Inc., the Assembly Department started 61000 units and completed 70700 units. If beginning work in process was 30800 units, how many units are in ending work in process?
Answer:
Closing inventory = 21,100 units
Explanation:
The closing working in progress represent the units of work at the end of the period for which are yet to be completed in the period.
It is the sum of the opening inventory and the units introduced less the completed units. This given below in mathematical terms
Closing inventory = Opening inventory + Newly added - completed units
= 30,800 + 61,000 - 70,700= 21,100
Closing inventory = 21,100 units
Barbara's Bakery purchased appliances (7 year property) in quarter 4 of Year 1. The original cost of the appliances was $40,000 and she did NOT use bonus depreciation or Section 179 expensing in the year of purchase. The mid-quarter convention has been used for the calculation of depreciation. If Barbara sells the appliances in March of Year 4, she will be able to deduct $:________.
Answer:
$703
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Barbara will be able to deduct If she sells the appliances in March of Year 4
Purchase value $10,000
MARC rate for 4 years 14.06
Proportion of the year factor- Mid quarter (1.5/12)
Therefore the Depreciation deduction allowed will be:
(40,000 ×14.06%)/12^⁴(1.5)
= $703
Answer:($40,000 * 14.06 %* 12.5% )= $703
Explanation: First, we determine the depreciable basis. In this case, Barbara purchased it, so we use the amount of how much the was the cost of asset ($40,000). We then proceed to determine which type of convention (Mid-convention) was used and no depreciation bonus or section 179 expensing. Now we gather more information if she is only depreciating or/and also disposing? The recovery period(MARCS table) for an appliance is a 7-year property(also given in the problem). We have to use mid-quarter convention not only because it is given in the problem but also it is the rule : 40% of personal property in service during the last three months of the tax year(in this case it is in quarter 4 or last quarter. We use the mid quarter convention table for the quarter 4 recovery year 4 which has the value of 14.06% to depreciate the value we multiply this to cost basis ($40,000) = 5624 depreciable value. However, Barbara also wants to sell (dispose) the appliances, we have to use the disposition table Mid-quarter convention percentage and we have to consider when is she selling the appliances. In this case, she sells in March(year 4 recovery period), take note that March is part of the 1st quarter . The value for the first quarter of disposition is 12.5% (derived from 1.5/12). We then multiply this value to determine how much she will be able to deduct. Hence,
$40,000*14.06%*12.5% = $703

=(3*1.03)/(0.08-0.03)
=61.8
Thus, current value (CV) = Future dividend & value × Present value of discounting factor (rate%, time period)
=1.5/1.08 + 2/1.08^2 + 2.5/1.08^3 + 3/1.08^4 + 61.8/1.08^4
=$52.72
Grand River Corporation reported taxable income of $550,000 in 20X3 and paid federal income taxes of $192,500. Not included in the computation was a disallowed meals and entertainment expense of $3,000, tax-exempt income of $2,000, and deferred gain on a current-year transaction treated as an installment sale of $30,000. The corporation's current earnings and profits for 20X3 would be:_________
Answer:
$336,500
Explanation:
Grand River corporation has a taxable income of $500,000 in 20X3
They paid a federal income tax of $192,500
The amount of expense that was not added to the report is $3,000
The tax exempt income is $2,000
The deferred gain is $30,000
Therefore, the current earinings and profits of the corporation for the year 20X3 can be calculated as follows
= Taxable income-federal income taxes-expenses-tax exempt income+deferred gain
=$500,000-$192,500-$3,000+$2,000+$30,000
= $336,500
Hence the current earnings and profits for the corporation is $336,500
For the question below, write an explanation of the short-run effect including the determinant of AD or AS that is causing the shift, the line that shifts (AD or AS), the direction of the shift (left or right), and the impact on output and price level (increase or decrease) and submit a properly drawn and labeled aggregate demand and aggregate supply graph for the scenario. Tourists flock to visit the major theme park's in Orlando, Florida.
Answer:
Tourists flock to visit the major theme park's in Orlando, Florida.
Determinant of AD: Consumer confidence is the best determinant in this case. Tourists flock the theme parks because households not only have enough money to spend on recreation, but also feel that they will continue to have enough money to make ends meet in the near future, otherwise they would not go to the parks, and instead would save the money.
Direction of the shift: the AD curve shifts to the right, because AD is increasing, and the AD curve increases when it shifts to the right.
Impact on output and price level: Output increases because consumer confidence, and as a result, consumer demand, is boosting aggregate demand.
Price level also increases, because demand is pushing the price of a good that has a relatively inelastic supply (the theme parks). In other words, demand is rising more than supply, and this increases the price.
Your company is producing a new ointment for sore muscles. You want to convince a national chain of boxing gyms to use this product. Why is it important to send a business letter in this situation

It also can be sent from one company to its clients, suppliers, etc. Moreover, this type of communication implicates a formal and permanent record that it can be saved by any party in order to use it later as a prove of the facts established in the letter. Furthermore, every letter has its unique type of content that it will be determined by the type of relationship that the parties have with each other.

Explanation:
YTM formula:
Miller Corporation
YTM = [coupon + (face value - market value)/n] / (face value + market value)/2
0.04 = [50 + (1,000 - x)/28] / (1,000 + x)/2
0.02(1,000 + x) = 85.71 - 0.0357x
20 + 0.02x = 85.71 - 0.0357x
0.0557x = 65.71
x = 65.71 / 0.0557 = $1,179.71
if we want to calculate the bond price in one year, we replace 28 by 26
0.04 = [50 + (1,000 - x)/26] / (1,000 + x)/2
0.02(1,000 + x) = 88.46 - 0.0385x
20 + 0.02x = 88.46 - 0.0385x
0.0585x = 68.46
x = 68.46 / 0.0585 = $1,170.26
if we want to calculate the bond price in 4 years, we replace 28 by 20
0.04 = [50 + (1,000 - x)/20] / (1,000 + x)/2
20 + 0.02x = 100 - 0.05x
0.07x = 80
x = 80 / 0.07 = $1,142.86
if we want to calculate the bond price in 9 years, we replace 28 by 10
0.04 = [50 + (1,000 - x)/10] / (1,000 + x)/2
20 + 0.02x = 150 - 0.1x
0.12x = 130
x = 130 / 0.12 = $1,083.33
if we want to calculate the bond price in 13 years, we replace 28 by 2
0.04 = [50 + (1,000 - x)/2] / (1,000 + x)/2
20 + 0.02x = 550 - 0.5x
0.52x = 530
x = 530 / 0.52 = $1,019.23
Modigliani Company
YTM = [coupon + (face value - market value)/n] / (face value + market value)/2
0.05 = [40 + (1,000 - x)/28] / (1,000 + x)/2
0.025(1,000 + x) = 75.71 - 0.0357x
25 + 0.025x = 75.71 - 0.0357x
0.0607x = 50.71
x = 50.71 / 0.0607 = $835.42
if we want to calculate the bond price in one year, we replace 28 by 26
0.05 = [40 + (1,000 - x)/26] / (1,000 + x)/2
0.025(1,000 + x) = 78.46 - 0.0385x
25 + 0.025x = 78.46 - 0.0385x
0.0635x = 53.46
x = 53.46 / 0.0635 = $841.89
if we want to calculate the bond price in 4 years, we replace 28 by 20
0.05 = [40 + (1,000 - x)/20] / (1,000 + x)/2
25 + 0.025x = 90 - 0.05x
0.075x = 65
x = 65 / 0.075 = $866.67
if we want to calculate the bond price in 9 years, we replace 28 by 10
0.05 = [40 + (1,000 - x)/10] / (1,000 + x)/2
25 + 0.025x = 140 - 0.1x
0.125x = 115
x = 115 / 0.125 = $920
if we want to calculate the bond price in 13 years, we replace 28 by 2
0.05 = [40 + (1,000 - x)/2] / (1,000 + x)/2
25 + 0.025x = 540 - 0.5x
0.525x = 515
x = 515 / 0.525 = $980.95
