Carol and Dave each purchase 100 shares of stock of Burgundy, Inc., a publicly owned corporation, in July for $10,000 each. Carol sells her stock on December 31 for $8,000. Because Burgundy’s stock is listed on a national exchange, Dave can ascertain that his shares are worth $8,000 on December 31. Does the Federal income tax law treat the decline in value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave? Explain.
Answers
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
From the above information, we can deduce that the stock owned by Carol and Dave falls in value by $2,000 I.e ($10,000 - $8,000) ; it is to be noted that Carol solely has realised and recognized loss of $2,000.
Here, one of the cogent factors that determines whether a sale has taken place is if realization has been effected. Here, stock sold by Carol qualifies as a disposition while the decline in the value of stock sold by Dave does not qualify as disposition.
With regards to the foregoing, we can conclude that the federal income tax law treat the decline in the value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave.

Ingraham Inc. currently has $820,000 in accounts receivable, and its days sales outstanding (DSO) is 54 days. It wants to reduce its DSO to 35 days by pressuring more of its customers to pay their bills on time. If this policy is adopted, the company's average sales will fall by 15%. What will be the level of accounts receivable following the change? Assume a 365-day year.
Answers
Answer: 451759.29
Explanation:
To solve the question, we need to calculate the current sales. This will be calculated by using the formula:
DSO = (Account receivable × 365) / Sales
54 = 820000 × 365 / Sales
Sales = 820000 × 365 / 54
Sales = 5542593
After the new policy, the expected sales will be:
= 5542593 × (1 - 15%)
= 5542593 × (1 - 0.15)
= 5542593 × 0.85
= 4711204.5
The level of accounts receivable following the change will be:
DSO = (Account receivable × 365) / Sales
35 = Account receivable × 365 / 4711204.5
Account receivable = 35 × 4711204.5 / 365
Account receivable = 451759.29

Harmon Inc, manufactures two products from a joint process, product A and product B. A standard production run incurs joint costs of $45,000 and results in 1,500 units of product A and 2,500 units of product B. 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.

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?

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.

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

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

C Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $808,200 that would have a 9 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $141,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $22,800. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $89,800. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): Multiple Choice 11.28% 5.28% 6.52% 16.88%
Answers
Answer:
6.52%
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
New machine cost = $808,200
Scrap sold = $22,800
Cost of investment = $808,200 - $22,800 = $785,400
Saving from new machine = $141,000
Annual depreciation of machine = $89,800
Net operating income = $141,000 - $89,800 = $51,200
Now we can calculate the rate of return by using following formula,
Simple rate of return = Net operating income ÷ Cost of Investment
= $51,200 ÷ $785,400
= 6.52%

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.

Ending raw materials inventory 30,000
Raw material purchases 104,000
Beginning work in process inventory 39,000
Ending work in process inventory 49,000
Direct labor 129,000
Total factory overhead 104,000
Beginning finished goods inventory 79,000
Ending finished goods inventory 59,000
The company's cost of raw materials used, cost of goods manufactured and cost of goods sold is:________
Answers
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the direct material used:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 27,000 + 104,000 - 30,000
Direct material used= $101,000
Now, the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 39,000 + 101,000 + 129,000 + 104,000 - 49,000
cost of goods manufactured= $324,000
Finally, the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 79,000 + 324,000 - 59,000
COGS= $344,000
Assume a division of Hewlett-Packard currently makes 12,000 circuit boards per year used in producing diagnostic electronic instruments at a cost of $34 per board, consisting of variable costs per unit of $24 and fixed costs per unit of $10.
Further assume Sanmina-SCI offers to sell Hewlett-Packard the 12,000 circuit boards for $34 each.
If Hewlett-Packard accepts this offer, the facilities currently used to make the boards could be rented to one of Hewlett-Packard's suppliers for $46,000 per year.
In addition, $6 per unit of the fixed overhead applied to the circuit boards would be totally eliminated.
Calculate the net benefit (cost) to HP of outsourcing the component from Samina-SCI.
(Use a negative sign with your answer, if appropriate.)
Answers
Answer:
The net benefit is -$26,000
Explanation:
Given the above information,
The total cost of manufacturing 12,000 circuit boards
= 12,000 × $34
= $408,000
Total purchase price
= 12,000 × $34
= $408,000
Fixed overhead cost applied
= 12,000 × $6
= $72,000
The rental income = $46,000
Outsourcing cost
= Total purchase price + Fixed overhead cost applied - Rental income
= $408,000 + $72,000 - $46,000
= $434,000
Therefore, Net benefit
= Total cost of manufacturing - Outsourcing cost
=$408,000 - $434,000
= -$26,000

a. = $347,645.10
b. = $145,450
c. = $317,200
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
1. $3.30 Cumulative Preferred Stock:
Authorized shares = 210,000
Issued shares = 146,000
Treasury shares = 40,653
Outstanding shares 105,347
Cash dividend = $347,645.10 ($3.30 * 105,347)
2. 5% Preferred Stock, $40 par value:
Authorized shares = 293,000
Issued shares = 165,000
Outstanding shares 72,725 * $40 = $2,909,000
Cash dividend = $145,450 ($2,909,000 * 5%)
3. 12.2% cumulative preferred, $100 stated value, $108 liquidating value:
Authorized shares = 81,000
Issued shares = 42,000
Outstanding shares 26,000 * $100 = $2,600,000
Cash dividend = $317,200 ($2,600,000 * 12.2%)
A NOW account requires a minimum balance of $750 for interest to be earned at an annual rate of 4 percent. An account holder has maintained an average balance of $500 for the first six months and $1,000 for the remaining six months. The account holder writes an average of 60 checks per month and pays $0.02 per check, although it costs the bank $0.05 to clear a check.
Required:
a. What average return does the account holder earn on the account?
b. What is the average return if the bank lowers the minimum balance to $400?
c. What is the average return if the bank pays interest only on the amount in excess of $400? Assume that the minimum required balance is $400.
d. How much should the bank increase its check fee to the account holder to ensure that the average interest it pays on this account is 5 percent? Assume that the minimum required balance is $750.
Answers
Answer:
a. Average return = 5.55%
b. Average return = 6.88%
c. Average return = 4.75%
d. Bank increase per check fees = $.0257
Explanation:
a.)
Interest earned on first $500 = $500×0×6 / 12 = $0
Interest earned on next $1000 = $1000×0.04×6 / 12= $20
Now,
Fees earned on checks = ($.05 - $.02)×60×12 = $21.6
So,
Total interest earned = $20 + $21.6 = $41.6
Given,
Average balance maintained = $750
So,
Average return = $41.6 / $750 = 5.55%
b.)
Interest earned on first $500 = $500×0.04×6 / 12 = $10
Interest earned on next $1000 = $1000×0.04×6 / 12 = $20
Now,
Fees earned on checks = ($.05 - $.02)×60×12 = $21.6
So,
Total interest earned = $10 + $20 + $21.6 = $51.6
Given that,
Average balance maintained = $750
So,
Average return = $51.6 / $750 = 6.88%
c.)
Interest earned on first $100 = $100×0.04×6 / 12 = $2
Interest earned on next $600 = $600×0.04×6 / 12 = $12
Now,
Fees earned on checks = ($.05 - $.02)×60×12 = $21.6
So,
Total interest earned = $2 + $12 + $21.6 = $35.6
Given that,
Average balance maintained = $750
So,
Average return = $35.6 / $750 = 4.75%
d.)
Total interest earned = $750×0.05 = $37.5
So,
fees earned on checks = $37.5 - $20 = $17.5
Subsidiary per check = $17.5 / 60×12 = $.0243
So,
Bank increase per check fees = $.05 – $.0243 = $.0257

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%
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

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%
