Which of the following statements describes the cost of capital?
A. The interest rate the bank charges its best customers.
B. The internal rate of return on investments.
C. The maximum acceptable rate of return on investments.
D. The minimum rate of return on investments.

Answers

Answer: The minimum rate of return on investments.

Explanation:

The cost of capital simply refers to the particular rate of return that a certain company expects to get from a certain investment that it does.

The cost of capital is the minimum rate of return which must be earned by a certain business before the generation of value.

The cost of capital therefore is the minimum rate of return on investments. It is the return which a company is expected to pay both the creditors and also the investors.

A corporation is concerned about their exposure to criminal liability after the most recent election cycle placed a number of new legislators in Congress who campaigned against corporate corruption. Select the strategy that would be least effective in reducing the company's criminal liability.
A. It could prioritize ethical leadership when making hiring decisions for management-level positions.
B. It could encourage reporting by establishing internal protections for whistleblowers beyond what is provided by Congressional law.
C. It could strengthen its code of ethics to reflect the current political mood.
D. It could donate to the election campaigns of the new members of Congress to establish goodwill.

Answers

Answer:

The strategy that would be least effective in reducing the company's criminal liability is:

D. It could donate to the election campaigns of the new members of Congress to establish goodwill.

Explanation:

While the other three options will effectively reduce the company's criminal liability exposure, option D is the least that is likely to have a positive or effective effect.  This implies that option D is most likely to aggravate the criminal liability of the company as it will be regarded as bribery to cover up a crime.

During Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials and conversion respectively for March using the weighted-average method. Multiple Choice, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 20,000 units that were in process at the beginning of March and 100,000 units that were started and completed in March. March's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 54% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of March, 29,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 29% complete with respect to conversion. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials and conversion respectively for March using the weighted-average method.

Answers

Answer:

Computing the equivalent units using the weighted-average method:

                                    Materials       Conversion

Total equivalent units    129,000          108,410

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning inventory = 20,000 units

Degree of completion (Materials 100%, Conversion 54%)

Units started and completed in March = 100,000

Units transferred out = 120,000

Ending inventory = 29,000 units

Degree of completion (Materials 100%, Conversion 29%)

Total equivalent units             Materials                  Conversion

Units started & completed     100,000 (100%)       100,000 (100%)

Units in Ending Inventory        29,000 (100%)            8,410 (29%)  

Total equivalent units            129,000                     108,410

b) In computing the equivalent units of production, the weighted-average method takes into account the units started and completed within the period and the ending work in process.  This is unlike the FIFO method, which considers the units completed in the beginning work-in-process during the current period, the units started and completed, and the ending work-in-process inventory based on their various degrees of completion.

Answers

Answer:

Debit unearned rent for $3,375

........Credit rent revenue for $3,375

Explanation:

The adjusting entry made by Fragmental Co. on December 31 is calculated as;

Number of months from October 1st to December 31st = 3 months

Rent revenue earned for 3 months = $1,125 × 3 = $3,375

Therefore, the adjusting entry would be;

Debit unearned rent for $3,375

..........Credit rent revenue for $3,375

The adjusting entry made by Fragmental Co. on December 31 would be a debit to Unearned Rent and a credit to Rent Revenue for $3,450. The correct option is d.

$3,450 in unearned rent a/c Dr.

$3,450 in rent revenue.

Unearned rent is deducted because it is the company's liability. The value of unearned rent is reduced due to the company's adjustment of unearned rent into rent income, and a fall in the value of unearned rent is always debited because it is a liability.

Rent revenue is credited since it is a company revenue/gain, and all company revenue/gains are always recognised in the books of accounts.

Wildhorse Co. uses a periodic inventory system. FIFO LIFO The Ending Inventory $Enter a dollar amount $Enter a dollar amount

Answers

Answer:

The cost of the ending inventory under FIFO is $2,430 and under LIFO is  $1,620

Explanation:

First determine the units sold

Units Sold = Total Purchases - Units in hand

                  = 1,410 units - 270 units

                  = 1,140

Note ; Wildhorse Co. uses a periodic inventory system. This means we calculate the cost at the end of the period.

FIFO

Means First in First Out

Cost of the ending inventory = 270 x $9.00 = $2,430

LIFO

Means Last in First Out

Cost of the ending inventory = 270 x $6.00 = $1,620

Conclusion

The cost of the ending inventory under FIFO is $2,430 and under LIFO is  $1,620

15. Consider a no-load mutual fund with $400 million in assets, 50 million in debt, and 15 million shares at the start of the year; and $500 million in assets, 40 million in debt, and 18 million shares at the end of the year. During the year investors have received income distributions of $0.50 per share, and capital gains distributions of $0.30 per share. Assuming that the fund carries no debt, and that the total expense ratio is 0.75%, what is the rate of return on the fund

Answers

Answer:

12.09%.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the rate of return on the fund

First step is to calculate the beginning year NAV

Beginning year NAV = ($400 million assets - 50 million debt) / 15 million shares

Beginning year NAV = 23.33

Second step is to calculate the ending year NAV

Ending year NAV = ($500 million assets - (500*0.75% expense) - 40 million debt] / 18 million shares

Ending year NAV =[456.25/18 million shares]

Ending year NAV =25.35

Now let calculate the return using this formula

Return = (Ending NAV -beginning NAV + Capital gain + income) / Beginning NAV)

Let plug in the formula

Return = (25.35-23.33+0.30+0.50)/23.33

Return = 12.09%

Therefore the rate of return on the fund is 12.09%

A company called Brightline has made a deal with Disney to create a rail station at Disney Springs on its planned route from Miami to Tampa. Read about this. Is a private rail link a good idea? Will it make Amtrak function any better? Will it create openings for private sector rail owner/operators as was the case in the USA before Amtrak and as is the case in the UK where not all rail services are BritRail?

Answers

Answer:

The answer for all three questions is yes.

A private player will increase competition and will make Amtrak provide a better service. Private companies are generally more efficient since their focus is on creating value.

Amtrak might benefit since the private rail might be used as additional help when their service is overloaded.

Increased competition and increase in private investment is always better for everyone since it creates new opportunities.

Click here to access the 2020 individual tax rate schedule to use for this problem. Assume the QBI amount is net of the self-employment tax deduction. Compute Henry's QBI deduction and his tax liability for 2020.

Answers

Answer:

Henry's QBI deduction = $9,760

Henry's taxable income = $39,040

Henry's tax liability = $4,487.30

Explanation:

QBI deduction = (AGI - standard deduction) x 20% = ($61,200 - $12,400) x 20% = $9,760

total taxable income = $61,200 - $12,400 - $9,760 = $39,040

tax liability = $987.50 + [12% x ($39,040 - $9,875)] = $987.50 + $3,449.80 = $4,487.30

Answers

Answer: $15,750

Explanation:

Retained earnings are profits so will be increased by sales and services provided and reduced by expenses.

They will also be reduced by dividends because that is where dividends are paid from:

Retained earnings = Opening balance + service for customers + service for customers - rent - employee salaries - dividends

= 11,500 + 7,000 + 1,700 - 1,200 - 2,000 - 1,250

= $15,750

g Kally goes to the grocery store each week looking to purchase items that will give her as much utility as possible, given her $100 budget. Last week apples were priced at $4.50 each, and Kally purchased 3 apples. This week apples are on sale for $2.50 each, while all other prices have remained the same, and Kally chooses to purchase 7 apples. Given this information, plot Kally's demand curve for apples.

Answers

Answer:

Please check the attached image for the graph

Explanation:

The demand curve is a curve that shows the various quantities of a good that is purchased at different prices.

The demand curve is downward sloping due to the inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. The higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded. This is known as the law of demand.

It can be seen that the quantity demanded of apples increased from 3 to 7 when price reduced to $2.50

On the demand curve, price is on the vertical axis, while quantity demanded is on the horizontal axis

Lyman Company has the opportunity to increase annual credit sales $100,000 by selling to a new, riskier group of customers. The expenses of collecting credit sales are expected to be 15 percent of credit sales. The company's manufacturing and selling expenses are projected at 70% of sales, and its effective tax rate is 40%. If Lyman accepts this opportunity, its after-tax profits would increase by an estimated:_____.
a. $10,200.
b. $10,000.
c. $9,000.
d. $14,400.

Answers

Answer:

Option c ($9,000) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Annual increase in sales,

= $100,000

Now,

The collection expenses will be:

= [tex]100,000\times 15 \ percent[/tex]

= [tex]15,000[/tex]

Selling as well as manufacturing expenses will be:

= [tex]100,000\times 70 \ percent[/tex]

= [tex]70,000[/tex]

Tax expense will be:

= [tex]15,000\times 40 \ percent[/tex]

= [tex]6,000[/tex]

After-tax profits increase will be:

= [tex]15,000-6,000[/tex]

= [tex]9,000[/tex] ($)

The market for bell peppers is perfectly competitive and currently has an equilibrium price of $3 and the number of bell pappers traded is 6. Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $1 on this market. What will be the size of the shortage in this market

Answers

Well, the price would increase by 1 dollar, so the shortage would be 2 less.

There should be no shortage.

What is a price floor?

It is the minimum price where the producer should charge also at the same time it should be binding and considered effective. In the case when the price floor should be above the equilibrium price so it should be the surplus while on the other hand if the price floor is below the equilibrium price so that means it is no surplus. Also, the shortage is not possible

Why are the incentives of a supplier the opposite of the incentives of a demander

Answers

Answer:

The incentives of a supplier are the opposite of the incentives of a demander because it is a relationship whose nature makes supply and demand inversely proportional to each other: the higher the supply, the lower the demand for each product and the lower its price; While the lower the supply, the greater the demand for each product and the higher its price. Thus, in many cases, suppliers seek to restrict supply to maximize profits, while demanders seek to lower prices through a greater quantity of goods offered.
