Answer:
internally generated equity that is earned by profitable operations that is not distributed to stockholders
Explanation:
Retained Earnings
This is simply known as an account used by a corporation to give a short breakdown or summary of the earned capital component of its shareholders' equity. Mathematically or primarily, it consist of the cumulative amount of net income over the life of the corporation, minus the cumulative amount of dividends that is paid out to shareholders.
It is often classified as stockholders equity account. It is a permanent or real account, as opposed to a temporary-equity or nominal account. Both cash dividends and stock dividends reduces retained earnings.

Old Quartz Gold Mining Company is expected to pay a dividend of $8 in the coming year. Dividends are expected to decline at the rate of 2% per year. The risk-free rate of return is 6%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 14%. The stock of Old Quartz Gold Mining Company has a beta of -0.25. The intrinsic value of the stock is
Answer:
$133.33
Explanation:
Cost of equity (Ke) = Rf + beta*(Rm-Rf)
Cost of equity (Ke) = 6% - 0.25*(14%-6%)
Cost of equity (Ke) = 4%
Cost of equity (Ke) = 0.04
According to the dividend distribution model Ke = D1/ P0 + g. P0 = D1/(ke-g, where D1 = 8, g = -0.02 and Ke = 0.04
P0 (Intrinsic price) = 8/(0.04+0.02)
P0 (Intrinsic price) = 8/0.06
P0 (Intrinsic price) = $133.33
Therefore, he intrinsic value of the stock is $133.33.
The I-75 Carpet discount store has annual demand of 85,700 yards for Super Resistant carpet. The annual carrying cost for a yard of this carpet is $2.25 per yard and the ordering cost is $350. The store is open 52 weeks per year. Assume that the expected value of daily demand is 200, that the standard deviation for daily demand is 4 and that the lead time to fill an order is 11 days. Assume that the EOQ is 5164 yards. What would be the reorder point for a 95% service level?
Answer:
2,421.89
Explanation:
Reorder point = Daily demand*Lead time + Z*STANDARD DEVIATION *√(Lead time)
Reorder point = 300*8 + 1.65*4*√11
Reorder point = 2,400 + 21.8897
Reorder point = 2,421.8897
Reorder point = 2,421.89
So, the reorder point for a 95% service level is 2,421.89.
The rate established at the beginning of a period that uses estimated overhead and an allocation factor such as estimated direct labor, and that is used to assign overhead cost to jobs, is the: Multiple Choice Predetermined overhead rate. Overhead variance rate. Estimated labor cost rate. Chargeable overhead rate. Miscellaneous overhead rate.
Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate
Explanation:
The predetermined overhead rate is the rate that is computed by taking the estimated manufacturing overhead and the same would be divided by allocation factor that could be estimated direct labor, estimated direct hours, etc in order to assign the overhead cost
So according to the given situation, the first option is correct i.e. predetermined overhead rate

For the year ended December 31, 2021, Norstar Industries reported net income of $960,000. At January 1, 2021, the company had 1,050,000 common shares outstanding. The following changes in the number of shares occurred during 2021:
Apr. 30 Sold 80,000 shares in a public offering.
May 24 Declared and distributed a 5% stock dividend.
June 1 Issued 90,000 shares as part of the consideration for the purchase of assets from a subsidiary.
Required:
Compute Norstar's earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021. (Enter your answers in thousands. Round "EPS" answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Earning per share for the year ended December 31, 2021 on Norstar's earnings = $0.79 per share
Explanation:
Earning per share is calculated as
Net income reported / Weighted number of outstanding shares
where,
Net income reported is $960,000
And, the weighted number of outstanding share is
For Jan.1
Jan 1 2021 shares × stock dividend
Dividend = 100 + rate = 100 + 0.05 = 1.05
1,050,000 x 1.05=$1, 102,500
For April
April 30 shares × stock dividend× number of months / total number of months in a year
80,000 x 1.0 5 x 8/12(April 30 to December 31 = 8 months)=56,000
For June
June 1 shares × number of months/ total number of months in a year
90,000 x 7/12=56,000
Total weighted number of outstanding shares =$1,102,500+56,000+52,500= $1,211,000
So, the earning per share is
= 960,000 / $1,211,000 shares
= $0.79 per share
Consider the following $1000 par value zero-coupon Treasury bonds: Bond Years to Maturity Yield to Maturity A 1 4.00% B 2 4.50% C 3 5.11% D 4 5.86% E 5 6.25% The expected 2-year interest rate three years from now should be __________. Enter your answer in percent to the nearest hundredth, for example if your answer is .25432, enter 25.43.
Answer: 7.98%
Explanation:
This deals with spot rates and forward rates. The 2 year interest rate three years from now is the 2 year forward rate, 3 years from now.
It can be calculated through the relationship below:
(1 + 5 year spot rate)⁵ = (1 + third year spot rate)³ * (1 + 2 year forward rate)²
(1 + 6.25%)⁵ = (1 + 5.11%)³ * (1 + 2 year forward rate)²
1.35408 = 1.161267 * (1 + 2 year forward rate)²
(1 + 2 year forward rate)² = 1.35408 / 1.161267
1 + 2 year forward rate = √1.16603675
2 year forward rate = √1.16603675 - 1
= 7.98%

Rodney (a fictional person) was self-employed, running a successful business, seemingly healthy, and never thought he would have financial problems. Being self-employed, he lacked health insurance. One day on the job, Rodney suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized for a week. As a result, he owed more than $100,000 in hospital and medical bills to the hospital. After the heart attack, Rodney could not work in his physically demanding line of work, and his business suffered dramatically. The bills and mortgage payments kept piling up, and Rodney was sinking fast. On top of the medical bills and mortgage, he owed thousands of dollars to multiple companies and creditors. Rodney considered selling his house to get out of the financial crisis he was in, but the value of the house had dropped significantly. After much consideration, Rodney decided to file, bankruptcy. In the end, he decided he would rather have a bankruptcy on his record instead of dealing with a mountain of debt.
1. Bankruptcy, ___________occurs when a debtor turns over all assets to a trustee, an individual who takes over administration of the debtor's estate.
a. An order of relief
b. An automatic stay
c. Relief
d. Liquidation
e. Bankruptcy
2. Who is defined as a debtor for liquidation purposes? Can Rodney file for bankruptcy?
a. Banks; Rodney cannot file.
b. Individuals; Rodney can file.
c. Health Maintenance Organizations; Rodney cannot file.
d. Partnerships: Rodney cannot file
e. Corporations; Rodney cannot file
3. Suppose that Rodney did not intend to file for voluntary liquidation. Could he be forced into bankruptcy?
a. No, he must file the bankruptcy himself.
b. Yes, because he has more than 12 creditors.
c. Yes, because he has a single creditor with a claim of more than $12,300 in debt.
d. No, because people who are self-employed cannot be forced into filing.
4. Rodney has a lot of creditors that are trying to sue him for the debt he owes. One benefit of filing is that once a petition is filed, the code provides for a(n) _______________for almost all creditor litigation against the debtor.
a. Liquidation
b. Order of relief
c. Creditor’s meeting
d. Preferential payment
e. Automatic stay
5. If the filing of Rodney's voluntary petition is proper, the petition automatically becomes a(n):_____.
a. Fraudulent transfer
b. Creditor’s meeting
c. Preferential payment
d. Discharged debt
e. Order of relief.
6. Suppose Rodney fails to show up at his creditors' meeting with his creditors because he is scared to meet with the hospital representatives. What is a possible consequence of his failure to show?
a. His creditors will be allowed to sue him for failure to show.
b. The court may refuse to grant the bankruptcy
c. Rodney will be charged with a criminal offense.
d. There is no penalty for missing a creditor’s meeting.

Answer:
1. Bankruptcy, ___________occurs when a debtor turns over all assets to a trustee, an individual who takes over administration of the debtor's estate.
b. An automatic stay
2. The person defined as a debtor for liquidation purposes is
b. Individuals; Rodney can file.
3. If Rodney did not intend to file for voluntary liquidation, he could not be forced into bankruptcy. a. No, he must file the bankruptcy himself.
4. One benefit of filing is that once a petition is filed, the code provides for a(n) _______________for almost all creditor litigation against the debtor.

e. Order of relief.
6. A possible consequence of Rodney's failure to show up at a creditors meeting is:
b. The court may refuse to grant the bankruptcy
Explanation:
In bankruptcy practices, an order for relief invokes the automatic stay. It is a block on Rodney's debts which brings down the iron curtain, thus, separating Rodney's pre-bankruptcy from his post-bankruptcy. It automatically creates a bankruptcy estate, which prohibits all unauthorized transfers of the Rodney's property.
Select the true statement about interest rate risk. It stems from the fact that bond prices and market interest rates are inversely correlated. It is the risk that a bond's coupon payment will fall if market interest rates fall. Interest rate risk is particularly problematic for investors who do not wish to sell their bonds. Shorter-term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate risk than longer-term bonds.
Answer:
The correct answer is the first option: It stems from the fact that bond prices and market interest rates are inversely correlated.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term known as "Interest Rate Risk" refers to the number that specifically shows the relation that exists between an investment that is planning to take place and another investment that is already having place, meaning that it focus on the potential for investment losses that result from a change in interest rates. Therefore that, in the field of microeconomics, it is understood that it will reflex the fact that when the interest goes up the price of actual investments like bond will go down and that is why it stems from the fact that bond prices and market interest rates are inversely correlated.

Balance Sheet
The assets of Dallas & Associates consist entirely of current assets and net plant and equipment. The firm has total assets of $2.9 million and net plant and equipment equals $2.6 million. It has notes payable of $145,000, long-term debt of $750,000, and total common equity of $1.55 million. The firm does have accounts payable and accruals on its balance sheet. The firm only finances with debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock on its balance sheet. Write out your answers completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000.
a. What is the company's total debt?
b. What is the amount of total liabilities and equity that appears on the firm's balance sheet?
c. What is the balance of current assets on the firm's balance sheet?
d. What is the balance of current liabilities on the firm's balance sheet?
e. What is the amount of accounts payable and accruals on its balance sheet?
f. What is the firm's net operating working capital?
g. What is the firm's net working capital?
h. What is the monetary difference between your answers to part fand g?
What does this difference indicate?
Solution :
a). Total debt = notes payable + long term debt
= 145,000 + 750,000
= $ 895,000
b). Total liabilities and equity = total assets
= 2,900,000
c). Current assets = total assets - net plant and equipment
= 2,900,000 - 2,600,000
=$ 300,000
d). Total current liabilities = total liabilities and equity - total common equity - long term debt
= 2,900,000 - 1,550,000 - 750,000
= $ 600,000
e). Accounts payable and accruals = total current liabilities - notes payable
= 600,000 - 145,000
= 455,000
f). Net working capital = current asset - current liabilities
= 300,000 - 600,000
= - $300,000
g). Net operating working capital = current assets - accounts payable and accruals
= 300,000 - 455,000
= - $ 155,000
h). The difference between f) and g). represents the balance of notes payable.

Explanation:
Paige is a scratch golfer, former Division I college golf star and past member of the LPGA tour. She is well-known for her ability to teach golf techniques and is often hired to teach golf clinics. Beatriz was a less successful golf clinic consultant who was just starting out and was hired to run a clinic for Par Golf Promotions. Beatriz was nervous about the clinic because it was her first and she asked Paige if she could fill in for her and Paige agreed. What is this transfer called and will it be allowed under the law of contracts
Answer:
This contract transfer is called a delegation. It will be allowed under the law of contracts, provided there is no provision or contract term in the original contract forbidding such transfer.
Explanation:
A delegation involves the appointment of Paige to perform Beatriz's duties under the golf clinic contract. This transfer is distinguishable from a contract assignment, which involves the transfer of the contract rights and obligations by Beatriz (the assignor) to Paige (the assignee). A transfer by delegation does not allow the assignee to assume all the obligations and rights but to specifically perform a duty.
You were hired as a consultant to Quigley Company, whose target capital structure is 35% debt, 10% preferred, and 55% common equity. The interest rate on new debt is 6.50%, the yield on the preferred is 6.00%, the cost of common from retained earnings is 11.25%, and the tax rate is 40%. The firm will not be issuing any new common stock. Quigley's WACC is closest to: 8.15% 8.48% 8.82% 9.17% 9.54%
Answer:
8.15 %
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the business Cost of permanent sources of finance pooled together. It shows the risk of the business and is used to evaluate projects.
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
Remember to use the After tax cost of debt :
After tax cost of debt = Interest x ( 1 - tax rate)
= 6.50% x (1 - 0.40)
= 3.90 %
therefore,
WACC = 11.25% x 55% + 6.00% x 10% + 3.90 % x 35%
= 8.15 %
Thus,
Quigley's WACC is closest to 8.15 %.

Hershberger's Farms plans to mix two types of food to make a mix of low cost feed for the animals in his farm. A bag of food costs $10 and contains 40 units of protein, 20 units of minerals and 10 units of vitamins. A bag of food B costs $12 and contains 30 units of proteins, 20 units of minerals and 30 units of vitamins. Daily minimum requirements consist of 150 units of proteins, 90 units of minerals and 60 units of vitamins.
a. Based on the lowest possible cost, how many bags of food A and food B should be consumed by the animals each day?
b. What is the overall cost? $46.50
c. Was there any unused resources?
Answer:
Following are the responses to the given choices:
Explanation:
For point a:
It is possible to say that as the material unit in either bag are same, the minimum bag number is 90 /20 = 4.5
rounded off=Minimum 5 bags
They will try to use all of these bags as the cost of bag A is poor.
When we have five bags of protein A, therefore the vitamin requirements were n’t fulfilled.
Currently, using 4 bags of A and 1 B bag, protein, vitamin and mineral obligations are fulfilled. They all are met.
Therefore, 4 food bags A and 1 food bag B need to be consumed due to the lowest cost.
For point b:
Cost total:
[tex]=( 4 \times 10 ) + ( 1 \times 12)\\\\=40 +12\\\\= \$52[/tex]
For point c:
The following are unused resources:
[tex]\text{Protein = Bag A + Bag B - Consumption}\\\\= 160 + 30 - 150\\\\=190-150\\\\= 40\\\\Minerals = 10 \\\\vitamins = 10[/tex]

ABM, Kaizen Costing Baker, Inc., supplies wheels for a large bicycle manufacturing company. The bicycle company has recently requested that Baker decrease its delivery time. Baker made a commitment to reduce the lead time for delivery from seven days to one day. To help achieve this goal, engineering and production workers had made the commitment to reduce time for the setup activity (other activities such as moving materials and rework were also being examined simultaneously). Current setup times were 12 hours. Setup cost was $600 per setup hour. For the first quarter, engineering developed a new process design that it believed would reduce the setup time from 12 hours to nine hours. After implementing the design, the actual setup time dropped from 12 hours to seven hours. Engineering believed the actual reduction was sustainable. In the second quarter, production workers suggested a new setup procedure. Engineering gave the suggestion a positive evaluation, and they projected that the new approach would save an additional six hours of setup time. Setup labor was trained to perform the new setup procedures. The actual reduction in setup time based on the suggested changes was four hours.
Required:
1. What kaizen setup standard would be used at the beginning of each quarter?
2. How much non-value-added cost was eliminated by the end of two quarters?
Answer and Explanation:
the computation is shown below:
1. Setup Time standard
Here the first quarter standard would be considered i.e. 9 hours so we dont take the actual setup time
The Second quarter is 1 hour that denotes the Expected setup time
2. The Total non-value cost which got eliminated is
Since, The setup time was Decrease from 12 hours to 3 hours.
So, the Total non value added cost eliminated is
= $600 × (12 - 3)
= $600 × 9
= $5,400

e. Stock’s beta after the refinancing = 2.52
Explanation:
Given:
Beta = 0.70
PE ratio = Price-earnings ratio = 7.90
Ke = Cost of equity = 12.66%
MPS = Market price per share = $52
Debt rate = 3%
Let assume that the company’s total number of shares outstanding is 1,000. Therefore, we have:
Equity market value = MPS * Number of shares = $52 * 1,000 = $52,000
By repurchasing half shares and substituting an equal value of debt, we have:
Debt = Equity market value / 2 = $52,000 / 2 = $26,000
Interest on debt = Debt * Debt rate = $26,000 * 3% = $780
Old EPS = MPS / PE ratio = $52 / 7.90 = $6.58 per share
Net income = Old EPS * Number of shares = $6.58 * 1,000 = $6,580
Earnings available to shareholders = Net income – Interest on debt = $6,580 – 780 = $5,800
New number of shares = 500
New EPS = Earnings available to shareholders / New number of shares = $5,800 / 500 = $11.60 per share
Therefore, we have:
a. Calculate the cost of equity after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of equity after the refinancing = New EPS / MPS = $11.60 / $52 = 0.2231, or 22.31%
b. Calculate the overall cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing = (Weight of debt * Cost of debt) + (Weight of equity * New cost of equity) = (50% * 3%) + (50% * 22.31%) = 12.66%
c. Calculate the price-earnings ratio after the refinancing. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing = 1 / Cost of equity after the refinancing = 1 / 22.31% = 4.48
d. Calculate the stock price after the refinancing.
Stock price after the refinancing = Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing * New EPS = $11.60 * 4.48 = $51.99
e. Calculate the stock’s beta after the refinancing. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Stock’s beta after the refinancing = (Cost of equity after the refinancing – Cost of debt) / (WACC – Cost of debt) = (0.2231 - 0.03) / (0.1266 - 0.05) = 2.52
Intermediate targets are Group of answer choices financial variables, such as interest rates or monetary aggregates, the Fed believes will help it to achieve policy goals. interim goals set on the way to fully achieving policy goals. targets the Fed hopes to achieve by June of each year. targets for policy goals that are of secondary importance.
Answer:
financial variables, such as interest rates or monetary aggregates, the Fed believes will help it to achieve policy goals.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve System ( popularly referred to as the 'Fed') was created by the Federal Reserve Act, passed by the U.S Congress on the 23rd of December, 1913. The Fed began operations in 1914 and just like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a United States government agency.
Generally, it comprises of twelve (12) Federal Reserve Bank regionally across the United States of America.
Like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a government agency that is saddled with the following responsibilities;
I. The Fed controls the issuance of currency in United States of America: it promotes public goals such as economic growth, low inflation, and the smooth operation of financial markets.
II. It provides banking services to all the commercial banks in the country because the Federal Reserve is the "lender of last resort."
III. It regulates banking activities in the United States of America: it has the power to supervise and regulate banks.
Intermediate targets can be defined as financial and economic variables which aren't directly under the control of the Federal Reserve (central bank) but they try to use them to influence policy actions or goals within a specific period of time.
Hence, intermediate targets are financial or economic variables, such as interest rates or monetary aggregates, the Fed believes will help it to achieve policy goals.
Consider how you might use visual aids to explain each of the following:
a. How to stretch before and after exercise.
b. The proportion of the electorate that votes in major national elections in the United States, France, Germany, England, and Japan, respectively.
c. Where to obtain information about student loans.
d. The wing patterns of various species of butterflies.
e. The decrease in the amount of money spent by public schools on arts education since 2005.
f. How to play the ukulele.
g. The basic equipment and techniques of rock climbing.
Answer:
There are various kinds of visual aids. Namely:
PowerPoint PresentationWhiteboardsHandoutsVideo clipsPostersProduct, objects or artifactsExplanation:
a. How to stretch before and after excercise is best exemplified using video clips. The activity involves motion. Whiteboards or PowerPoint presentations or the others may attempt to describe how to bend over, however, a video tutorial showing what should be done needs little nor no explanation;
b. The proportion of the electorate that votes in major national elections in the United States, France, Germany, England, and Japan, respectively.
When it comes to comparing proportions, figures, numbers, statistics, PowerPoint presentations do more justice than any other visual aid listed above. It is equipped with a plethora of tools that help to express relationships between different kinds of data in a very clear and easy-to-understand manner.
c. Student Loans and where one can get them can be advertised using Handouts, and Posters as these are intended to reach more audiences by their very nature. Video clips work as well and even much more depending on where it is being published.
d. the wing patterns of various species of butterflies: Pictures arranged in sequence can be edited on to PowerPoint, WhiteBoard animation works excellently well too as it combines visuals with audio narrations in an animated format to explain what is being shown
e. Just in B, a decrease in the amount of money spent by public universities on arts since 2005 is an expression of the various relationships between factors and figures. The best visual aid for this is PowerPoint and Animated WhiteBoard
f. When it comes to demonstrating to a live audience how to do something complicated, video clips is the best visual aid that can be used
g. answer for f above applies to g as well.
