Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Buy and save $35,000

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Particulars                                  Make                          Buy

Direct Materials                         $240,000

Direct Labor                               $35,000

Variable Overhead                     $75,000

Fixed Overhead                          $15,000

Purchase cost                                                          $330,000

Total cost                                      $365,000           $330,000

As we can see that the buying total cost is less than the total making cost so here we can buy the product as it saves the company by $35,000 ($365,000 - $330,000)

Discounting Cash Flows and Earnings. Under the residual income approach and the discounted cash flow approach to firm valuation, carnings and cash flows, respectively, are discounted using a firm's cost of equity. Discuss why the cost of equity is the appropriate discount rate to use to discount a firm's camings and cash flows. Why is the cost of debt inappropriate to use to discount a firm's earnings or cash flows

Answers

Answer:

Cost of debt is used for external source of finance whereas cost of equity is used for internal source of finance.

Explanation:

Debt is the fund borrowed from lender at a standard rate of interest. Equity is fund acquired by the investors and shareholders. The required rate of return for equity is higher than the rate of return to the debt holders. This is because debt holders are safe and they are paid first in case of a bankruptcy and liquidity situation of a company. Debt is considered as cheap source of finance but acquiring higher debt will increase company gearing. It is not suitable to use cost of debt as discount factor for the cash flows of the company. The best and ideal discount factor is WACC which is derived by the combination of debt and equity.

On November 1, Year One, a company is paid $12,000 in advance to do a job for a customer. The job has ten separate steps. The first four steps were completed in Year One and the remaining six steps were completed in Year Two. The accountant mistakenly believed that this was just one big job and recorded it in that fashion. However, each of the ten steps was really an individual job and should have been accounted for in that way. Which of the following statements is true?

a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.
b. At the end of Year Two, the company's assets are overstated.
c. At the end of Year Two, the company's retained earnings are overstated.
d. At the end of Year One, the company's retained earnings are understated.
e. At the end of Year Two, the company's net income is understated.

Answers

Answer: a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.

Explanation:

Under the Accrual basis of Accounting, revenue should be recorded for only jobs that have been completed. In other words, only earned revenue should be recorded. Revenue that has not been earned but yet received, is to be termed Deferred revenue and should be treated as a current liability.

In this scenario, there are steps that have not been completed so some of the revenue received should be termed deferred revenue. These should therefore be in current liabilities and because they were not, the liabilities for the end of year 1 will be understated.

An investor deposits 50 in an investment account on January 1. The following summarizes the activity in the account during the year: DateValue Immediately Before DepositDeposit March 154020 June 18080 October 117575 On June 30, the value of the account is 157.50. On December 31, the value of the account is X. Using the time-weighted method, the equivalent annual effective yield during the first 6 months is equal to the (time-weighted) annual effective yield during the entire 1-year period. Calculate X.

Answers

Answer:

236.25

Explanation:

Calculation to determine X

First step is to calculate the 6 months Yield

6 month Yield=(40/40+20) (80/40+20) (157.60/80+80)+1)

6 month Yield=(40/60) (80/60) (157.60/160)-1

6 month Yield=5%

Second step is to calculate the Annual equivalent

Annual equivalent=(1.05)^2-1

Annual equivalent=10.25%

Third step is to calculate the 1 year yield

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/40+20) (175/80+80) (x/175+75)

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/60) (175/160) (x/250)-1

1 year yield=0.1025

Now Let calculate X

x(0.004667)=1+.1025

x(0.004667)=1.1025

x=1.1025/0.004667

x=236.25

Therefore X is 236.25

You are given the following information concerning Parrothead Enterprises:
Debt: 9,300 6.5% coupon bonds outstanding, with 22 years to maturity and a quoted price of 104.75. These bonds have a par value of $1,000 and pay interest semi-annually.
Common stock: 240,000 shares of common stock selling for $64.80 per share. The stock has a beta of .93 and will pay a dividend of $3.00 next year. The dividend is expected to grow by 5.3 percent per year indefinitely.
Preferred stock: 8,300 shares of 4.65 percent preferred stock selling at $94.30 per share.
Market: 11.7% expected return, a risk-free rate of 3.75%, and a 23% tax rate.
Calculate the company's WACC.

Answers

Answer:

WACC is 8.19%

Explanation:

WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital is determined by multiplying capital source cost of both equity and debt by their relevant weight and then summing the results to identify the value using the formulae given below:

WACC = (E/V x Re) + [D/V x Rd x (1 - Tc)]

where:

E = Market Value of the firm's equity

D = Market Value of the firm's debt

V =  E + D

Re = Cost of Equity

Rd = Cost of Debt

Tc = Tax Rate

In the given question, we will first determine the cost of equity. As shown below:

Cost of Equity = Average of CAPM and Dividend Capitalisation Model

CAPM = Risk free rate of return + Beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

CAPM = 3.75 + 0.93 x (11.7 - 3.75)

CAPM = 11.14%

Dividend Capitalisation Model = Expected dividend net year / Current Price + Growth Rate

Dividend Capitalisation Model = 3 / 64.8 * 100 + 5.3

Dividend Capitalisation Model = 9.93%

Cost of Equity = 9.93 + 11.14 = 10.54%

Next is the cost of debt which would be calculated using YTM (Yield to maturity)

where:

Par Value = 1047.5

Face Value = 1000

Coupon rate = 6.5

Years to maturity = 22 years

Coupon Payment Frequency is semi annually.

The Cost of debt = 6.1%

After Tax it would be 4.7% [6.1% * (1 - 23%)]

Next, we will determine the rate of preferred stock before calculating the WACC.

Rate of preferred stock = Annual dividend / Current Price * 100

Rate of preferred stock = 4.65 / 94.3 * 100

Rate of preferred stock = 4.93%

Finally, we will calculate the Market Value (MV) of equity, debt and preferred stock. As shown below:

MV Equity = 240,000 x 64.8 = 15,552,000

MV Debt = 1047.5 x 9300 = 9,741,750

MV preferred stock = 8,300 x 94.3 = 782,690

Total = 26,076,440

WACC = (15,552,000 / 26,076,440 * 10.54%) + (9,741,750 / 26,076,440 * 4.7%) + (782,690 / 26,076,440 * 4.93%)

WACC = 6.28% + 1.76% + 0.15%

WACC = 8.19%

The bonds pay 8 % interest, semiannually. The tax rate is 34 %. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital

Answers

Answer:

The firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 7.76%.

Explanation:

Note: Par value of the preferred stock is $100 but it is omitted in the question.

Market price share = (Dividend just paid (1 + Dividend growth rate)) / (Cost of equity – Dividend growth rate) ………………………………….. (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation and solve for cost of equity, we have:

36 = (1.64 * (1 + 0.028)) / (Cost of equity – 0.028)

36 = 1.68592/ (Cost of equity – 0.028)

36(Cost of equity – 0.028) = 1.68592

36Cost of equity - 1.008 = 1.68592

36Cost of equity = 11.68592 + 1.008

Cost of equity = (1.68592 + 1.008) / 36

Cost of equity = 0.0748, or 7.48%

Cost of preferred stock = (Par value * Dividend rate) / Current price = (100 * 6%) / 51 = 0.1176, or 11.76%

Cost of debt = Coupon rate * (100% - tax rate) = 8% * (100% - 34%) = 0.0528, or 5.28%

Common stock market value = 58,000 * $36 = $2,088,000

Preferred market value = 12,000 * $51 = $612,000

Bond market value = $750,000 * ($1,011 / $1,000) = $758,250

Total market value of the company = Common stock market value + Preferred market value + Bond market value = $2,088,000 + $612,000 + $758,250 = $3,458,250

WACC = (7.48% * ($2,088,000 / $3,458,250)) + (11.76% * (612,000 / $3,458,250)) + (5.28% * ($758,250/ $3,458,250)) = 0.0776, or 7.76%

During lunch time, customers arrive at a postal office at a rate of lambda equals 36 per hour. The interarrival time of the arrival process can be approximated with an exponential distribution. Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of mu equals 45 per hour. The service time for the customers can also be approximated with an exponential distribution. For each of the following questions, show your work and use the right notation.

Required:
a. Determine the utilization factor.
b. Determine the probability that the system is idle, i.e., no customer is waiting or being served.
c. Determine the probability that exactly one customer is in the system, i.e., no customer is waiting but one is served.

Answers

Answer:a) utilization factor, P =4/5

b)Probability that the system is idle, P₀=1/5

C) the probability that exactly one customer is in the system,P ₁=4/25

Explanation:

A)

From the question,

Customer arrives at the rate of λ equal 36  per hour

Also,

Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of μ equals 45 per hour

Therefore, we have that

utilization factor. P = λ / μ

where

λ = 36 / hour

μ = 45 / hour

P= 36 / 45

P= 4/5

The utilization factor is 4/5

b) the probability that the system is idle, i.e., no customer is waiting or being served.

Probability that the system is idle P₀ =1 - P

1 - 4/5

=1/5

C) the probability that exactly one customer is in the system, i.e., no customer is waiting but one is served.

probability that exactly one customer is in the system,P ₁=(λ/μ)¹ x (1-λ/μ)

(36 / 45) x (1-36 / 45)

4/5 x (1-4/5)

4/5 x 1/5

=4/25

Product A sells for $50.00 per unit and Product B sells for $20.00 per unit. Assuming that no further processing occurs after the split-ff point, how much of the joint costs are allocated to Product A and B using the physical measure method

Answers

Answer:

Harmon Inc.

Joint costs of $45,000 allocated to:

Product A = $16,875

Product B = $28,125

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Joint costs of a standard production run = $45,000

Joint products        Product A     Product B      Total

Production units       1,500            2,500          4,000

Selling price per unit  $50               $20

Allocation of joint costs based on physical measure method:

Product A = $16,875 (1,500/4,000 * $45,000)

Product B = $28,125 (2,500/4,000 * $45,000)

b) Joint costs of $45,000 were incurred by Product A and Product B jointly because they consumed the same resources during the production run.  These costs can be allocated to the products based on established criteria, for example, units of products and sales value.  The purpose is to properly account for the joint costs at split-off.

Dream House Builders, Inc. applies overhead by linking it to direct labor. At the start of the current period, management predicts total direct labor costs of $100,000 and total overhead costs of $20,000. On January 31, the direct labor for this job equals $2,700.

Required:

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate first and this will be:

= Estimated overhead / Direct labor cost

= $20,000 / $100,000

= 20% of cost of direct labor

Then we calculate the factory overhead which will be:

= Direct Labor × Predetermined overhead rate

= $2700 × 20%

= $540

Then, the journal entry will be:

Tops Co. purchases equipment for $12,000 and has been using straight-line depreciation, estimating a 5-year life and $500 salvage value. At the beginning of the third year, Tops decides to use the equipment for a total of 6-years with no salvage value. Compute the revised depreciation for the third year. Multiple choice question. $2,875 $1,850 $1,250 $2,375

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $1,850

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Purchase price= $12,000

Salvage value= $500

Useful life= 5 years

First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation and accumulated depreciation:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (12,000 - 500) / 5

Annual depreciation= 2,300

Accumulated depreciation (2 years)= 2,300*1= 4,600

Now, we can determine the annual depreciation with a 4 more years of useful life:

Book value= 12,000 - 4,600= 7,400

useful life= 4 years more

Annual depreciation= 7,400/4

Annual depreciation= $1,850

Answers

Answer:

$287.01

Explanation:

The 2 stage dividend discount model would be used to determine the current value of the stock.

first stage

Present value in year 1 = (1.6 x 1.16) / 1.071 = 1.73

Present value in year 2 = (1.6 x 1.16²) / 1.071² = 1.88

Present value in year 3 = (1.6 x 1.16³) / 1.071³ =2.03

Present value in year 4 = (1.6 x 1.16^4) / 1.071^4 = 2.20

second stage

[ (1.6 x 1.16^4) x (1.06) ] / (0.071 - 0.06) = 279.17

Value of the stock = 1.73 + 1.88 + 2.03 + 2.20 + 279.17 = $287.01

Answers

Answer:

the amount paid for goodwill is $3,500,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount paid for goodwill is given below

But before that the net fair value of assets would be determined

Net fair value of assets purchased is

= ($7,500,000 + $14,000,000 + $1,500,000) - ($4,000,000 + $5,500,000)

= $13,500,000

Now Amount paid for goodwill is

The chapter explained why exporters cheer when their home currency depreciates. At the same time, domestic consumers find that they pay higher prices, so they should be disappointed when the currency becomes weaker. Why do the exporters usually win out, so that governments often seem to welcome depreciations while trying to avoid appreciations? (Hint: Think about the analogy with protective tariffs.)

Answers

Answer:

Exporters usually win out when their home currency depreciates because it increases demand for the exported products.

Explanation:

The foreign consumers find that the prices of the imports are now reduced because of the depreciation of the exporting nation's currency.  The impact is reduced cost of importation for the importing consumers.  When prices fall, demand tends to increase relative to supply.  For any government that wants to encourage exports for earning foreign exchange, it will always work hard to avoid currency appreciation so that consumers from the importing nation are not discouraged or made to develop alternatives.

Exporters usually win out when their home currency depreciates because the depreciation increases the demand of the exported products.

When the prices fall, demand of the products and goods tend to increase. When the home currency depreciates, this will leads to higher demand of goods from other countries so the exporters produce and exports more goods and earn more money.

The government also wants to encourage exports in order to earn foreign exchange so that's why the exporters as well as the government cheers when their home currency depreciates.

Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to individual products)  $5,800

Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to product categories)

Tools: Cost value = (100 * $5) + (200 * $10) + (300 * $2) = $3,100

          NRV value = (100 * $5.50) + (200 * $9) + (300 * $2.60) = $3,130

LCNRV = $3,100 for tools

                         NRV value =  (500 * $5) + (100 * $4.50) = $2,950

LCNRV = $2,950 for paint products

Total LCNRV = $6,050 ($3,100 + $2,950)

Miller, Inc. has 5,000 shares of 6%, $400 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 100,000 shares of $4 par value common stock outstanding. There were no dividends declared in 2015. The board of directors declared and paid dividends of $200,000 each in 2016 and 2017. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017

Answers

Answer:

$40,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017

First step is to calculate the preferred stock

Preferred stock=(5,000 shares*$400)*6%

Preferred stock=$2,000,000*6%

Preferred stock=$120,000

Now let calculate the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017

Dividend Received=($200,000-$120,000)/2

Dividend Received=$80,000/2

Dividend Received=$40,000

Therefore the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017 will be$40,000

RealTurf is considering purchasing an automatic sprinkler system for its sod farm by borrowing the entire $50,000 purchase price. The loan would be repaid with four equal annual payments at an interest rate of 12%/year. It is anticipated that the sprinkler system would be used for 9 years and then sold for a salvage value of $5,000. Annual operating and maintenance expenses for the system over the 9-year life are estimated to be $10,500 per year. If the new system is purchased, cost savings of $20,500 per year will be realized over the present manual watering system. RealTurf uses a MARR of 15%/year for economic decision making.What is the internal rate of return used to reach your decision?

Answers

Answer:

savings per year = $20,500 - $10,500 = $10,000

the loan and interest are not included in the calculation

initial outlay = $50,000

cash flows 1-8 = $10,000

cash flow 9 = $15,000

discount rate = 15%

A certain company just announced it will cut next year's dividends from $4 to $2.50 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior to the announcement, the company's dividends were expected to grow at a 4% rate, and its share price was $50. With the planned expansion, the company's dividends are expected to grow at a 6% rate. What share price (in dollars) would you expect after the announcement

Answers

Answer:

P0 = $41.6666666  rounded off to  $41.67

Explanation:

The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

D1 is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year

g is the constant growth rate in dividends

r is the discount rate or required rate of return

We first need to calculate the required rate of return for this company based on the previous growth rate, dividend and current share price prior to announcement.

50 = 4 / (r - 0.04)

50 * (r - 0.04) = 4

50r - 2 = 4

50r = 4 + 2

r = 6 / 50

r = 0.12 or 12%

Now using the post announcement data, the new share price will be,

P0 = 2.5 / (0.12 - 0.06)

P0 = $41.6666666  rounded off to  $41.67
