Answer:
False
Explanation:
The sales budget is a budget that indicates the amount of goods or services that the company expects to sell in a specific period of time. In order to make the sales budget, you have estimate the amount of units you plan to sell and multiply this for the selling price per unit to get the total sells. According to this, the statement that says that to develop the sales budget, companies must estimate both unit sales and the production cost per unit is false because to develop the sales budget, companies must estimate unit sales and selling price per unit.
Boatler Used Cadillac Co. requires $890,000 in financing over the next two years. The firm can borrow the funds for two years at 11 percent interest per year. Ms. Boatler decides to do forecasting and predicts that if she utilizes short-term financing instead, she will pay 7.25 percent interest in the first year and 12.55 percent interest in the second year. Assume interest is paid in full at the end of each year.
A. Determine the lot al two-year interest cost under each plan.
Interest Cost
Long term fixed-rate plan
Short term variable-rate
B. Which plan is less costly?
1. Long term fixed-rate plan
2. Short-term variable-rate plan
Answer:
A. Total two-year interest cost under long term fixed-rate plan is $195,800; while total two-year interest cost under short term variable-rate is $176,220.
B. Short-term variable-rate plan is less costly.
Explanation:
A. Determine the total two-year interest cost under each plan.
This can be determined for each of the plan as follows:
For Long term fixed-rate plan
Total two-year interest cost under long term fixed-rate plan = Amount required * Interest rate per year * Number of years = $890,000 * 11% * 2 = $195,800
For Short term variable-rate
First year interest cost under short term variable-rate = Amount required * First year interest rate = $890,000 * 7.25% = $64,525
Second year interest cost under short term variable-rate = Amount required * Second year interest rate = $890,000 * 12.55% = $111,695
Total two-year interest cost under short term variable-rate = First year interest cost + Second year interest cost = $64,525 + $111,695 = $176,220
Therefore, we have:
Interest Cost
Long term fixed-rate plan $195,800
Short term variable-rate $176,220
B. Which plan is less costly?
Since the total two-year interest cost under short term variable-rate of $176,220 is less than $195,8000 total two-year interest cost under long term fixed-rate plan, the Short-term variable-rate plan is therefore less costly.
You are given the following information for Bowie Pizza Co.: Sales = $64,000; Costs = $30,700; Addition to retained earnings = $5,700; Dividends paid = $1,980; Interest expense = $4,400; Tax rate = 22 percent. Calculate the depreciation expense. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$18554
Explanation:
The formula for addition to retained earnings can be used to determine the amount of depreciation expense as shown below:
addition to retained earnings=sales-costs-depreciation expense-interest expense-tax paid-dividends
addition to retained earnings=net income-dividends
5700=net income-1980
net income=5700+1980=7680
if tax 22%,net income is 1-22%=0.78
profit before tax=7680 /0.78= 9,846.15
tax = 9,846.15*22%= 2,166.15
using the long formula,we have depreciation expense
5700=64000-30700-depreciation expense-4400-2666.15-1980
depreciation expense=64000-30700-4400-2666.15-1980-5700
depreciatio expense=$18553.85
Which of the following is NOT an element of organizational structure? A) Well-articulated mission, vision, and value statements. B) Formal reporting relationships. C) Grouping together of individuals into departments. D) Systems designed to ensure effective communication
Answer:
A) Well-articulated mission, vision, and value statements.
Explanation:
An organizational structure can be defined as a system that states how business activities such as standard rules, task allocation or roles of employees, coordination, responsibilities and supervision of these activities are directed so as to enhance the achievement of the goals, aims and objectives of the organization.
Simply stated, an organizational structure usually defines a hierarchy, which is used to determine how information, roles and responsibilities flow from one level to another in an organization. Generally, the flow of information are usually from top to bottom.
Furthermore, the organizational structure can be divided into four (4) distinct categories and these are;
1. Matrix organizational structure.
2. Functional organizational structure.
3. Divisional organizational structure.
4. Flat organizational structure.
The following are the elements of organizational structure;
A. Formal reporting relationships. This is enhanced by assigning a hierarchy, where informations are reported to the right individual and in a timely manner as well.
B. Grouping together of individuals into departments. This is to increase the level of output and enhance building good, coordinated development through division of labor.
C. Systems designed to ensure effective communication.
Hence, a well-articulated mission, vision, and value statements isn't an element of organizational structure. It could be regarded as an organization's center of gravity.
An organizational structure is a system that specifies how business operations, such as standard norms, task distribution or personnel roles, coordination, responsibilities, and supervision, are directed in order to help the organization achieve its goals, aims, and objectives.
So, Option A is the correct option which is not true about organizational structure.
The other options are incorrect as:
Option B is incorrect as Relationships of formal reporting. This is aided by establishing a hierarchy in which information is reported to the appropriate person and in a timely manner.
Option C is incorrect as Individuals are organized into departments. This is to raise output and improve the development of good, coordinated development by dividing labor.
Option D is incorrect as yes designing system to ensure effective communication is element of organizational structure.
Thus option A isn't a part of the company's structure. It's possible to think of it as the organization's center of gravity.

During 2018, its first year of operations, Pave Construction provides services on account of $142,000. By the end of 2018, cash collections on these accounts total $101,000. Pave estimates that 25% of the uncollected accounts will be bad debts.
Required:
Record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts on December 31, 2018.
Answer:
Dr Bad Debt Expense 10,250
Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts 10,250
Explanation:
Preparation of the Journal entry to Record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts on for Pave Construction
Since we were told that the company provides services on account of the amount of $142,000 in which by the end of the year 2018, the cash collections total the amount of $101,000 which means we have to less $101,000 from $142,000 which gave us $41,000.
We were as told that Pave estimates that 25% of the uncollected accounts will be bad debts this means we have to find the 25% of $41,000 which gave us $10,250.
Therefore the transaction will be recorded as:
Dr Bad Debt Expense 10,250
Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts 10,250
($41,000 x 25%)
Service provided $142,000- Cash collection $101,000=$41,000
Tunneling Inc. fixed costs are at $100,000. The company has sales of 10,000 units with a price of $84 and variable cost per unit of $40. The depreciation is $50,000 and taxes are 21 percent. What is the degree of operating leverage
Answer:
Tunneling Inc.
Degree of operating leverage
= Contribution Margin divided by Operating Income
= $440,000/$290,000 = 1.52
Explanation:
(a) Data and Calculations:
Sales Revenue = $840,000 (10,000 x $84)
Variable cost = $400,000 (10,000 x $40)
Contribution = $440,000
Fixed costs = $100,000
Depreciation = $50,000
Operating Income = $290,000
Tax (21%) ($60,900)
Net Income = $229,100
(b) The degree of operating leverage for Tunneling Inc. is 1.52. It shows the financial impact of a change in sales revenue on Tunneling Inc.'s earnings. Analysts usually work this ratio out to determine this important effect.
The fair value of net identifiable assets of a reporting unit of Y Company is $270,000. The carrying value of the reporting unit's net assets on Y Company's books is $320,000, including $50,000 of goodwill before any impairment. If the reported goodwill impairment for the unit is $10,000, what would be the fair value of the entire reporting unit?
Answer: $310,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the fair value of net identifiable assets of a reporting unit of Y Company is $270,000 and that the carrying value of the reporting unit's net assets on Y Company's books is $320,000, including $50,000 of goodwill before any impairment. We are further told that the reported goodwill impairment for the unit is $10,000.
To calculate the fair value of the entire reporting unit, we deduct the goodwill impairment for the unit which is $10,000 from the carrying value of the reporting unit's net assets on Y Company's books which is $320,000. This will be:
= $320,000 - $10,000
= $310,000
Factory Overhead Rate, Entry for Applying Factory Overhead, and Factory Overhead Account Balance The cost accountant for River Rock Beverage Co. estimated that total factory overhead cost for the Blending Department for the coming fiscal year beginning February 1 would be $3,150,000, and total direct labor costs would be $1,800,000. During February, the actual direct labor cost totaled $160,000, and factory overhead cost incurred totaled $283,900.
Required:
a. What is the predetermined factory overhead rate based on direct labor cost? Enter your answer as a whole percent not in decimals.
b. Journalize the entry to apply factory overhead to production for February.
c. What is the February 28 balance of the account Factory Overhead—Blending Department?

Answer:
a. 175%
b.
Journal Entry to apply factory overhead to production for February.
Work In Process $280,000 (debit)
Overheads $280,000 (credit)
c. $3,900
d. Under-applied Overheads
Explanation:
Predetermined Overhead rate = Total Budgeted Overheads /Total Budgeted Activity
= $3,150,000 / $1,800,000
= $1.75 per direct labor cost. or
= 175% (1.75 × 100)
Applied factory overhead = Predetermined Overhead rate × Actual Activity
= $160,000 × 175 %
= $280,000
Journal Entry to apply factory overhead to production for February.
Work In Process $280,000 (debit)
Overheads $280,000 (credit)
over-applied or under-applied factory overhead
Over-applied Overheads = Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads
Under-applied Overheads = Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads
Actual Overheads (given) = $283,900
Applied Overheads = $280,000
Actual Overheads: $283,900 > Applied Overheads :$280,000
Thus we have an Under-application situation of $3,900 ($283,900 - $280,000)

You just opened a brokerage account, depositing $4,500. You expect the account to earn an interest rate of 8.57%. You also plan on depositing $3,000 at the end of years 5 through 10. What will be the value of the account at the end of 20 years, assuming you earn your expected rate of return?
Answer:
$74108
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Deposit = $4,500
Interest rate =8.57%
Plan to deposit =$3000 at the end of 5 years through 1
n= 20 years
Now
We apply the formula given below:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
Here
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.
Thus
=4500(1.0857)^20+3000(1.0857)^15+3000(1.0857)^14+3000(1.0857)^13+3000(1.0857)^12+3000(1.0857)^11+3000(1.0857)^10
=$74108
Therefore the account value at 20 years (ending) is $74108
Question 3
You are the Chief Operations Officer responsible for overall company operations in ATCHULO Company Ltd, a large courier company in Ghana. Your company has 16 regional offices (terminals) scattered around the country in each of the regional capitals and a main office (hub) located in the capital city of the country. Your operations are strictly domestic. You do not accept international shipments.
The day at each terminal begins with the arrival of packages from the hub. The packages are loaded onto trucks for delivery to customers during morning hours. In the afternoon, the same trucks pick up packages that are returned to the terminal in late afternoon and then shipped to the hub where shipments arrive from the terminals into the late evening and are sorted for delivery early the next day for the terminals.
Examiner: Dr. Abubakari Atchulo Page 1 of 2
Each terminal in your company is treated as an investment centre and prepares individual income statements each month. Each terminal receives 30% of the revenue from packages that it picks up and 30% of the revenue from the packages it delivers. The remaining 40% of the revenue from each transaction goes to the hub. Each terminal accumulates its own costs. All costs relating to travel to and from the hub are charged to the hub. The revenue per package is based on size and service type and not the distance the package travels. (There are two services: overnight and ground delivery, which takes between 1 and 7 days, depending on the distance traveled).
All customer service is done through a central service group located in the hub. Customers access this service centre through a toll-free telephone number. The most common calls to customer service include requests for package pickup, requests to trace an overdue package, and requests for billing information. The company has invested in complex and expensive package tracking equipment that monitors the package’s trip through the system by scanning the bar code placed on every package. The bar code is scanned when the package is picked up, enters the originating terminal, leaves the originating terminal, arrives at the hub, leaves the hub, arrives at the destination terminal, and is delivered to the customers. All scanning is done with hand held wands that transmit the information to the regional and then central computer.
The major staff functions in each terminal are administrative (accounting, clerical, and executive), marketing (the sales staff), courier (the people who pick up and deliver the shipments and the equipment they use), and operations (the people and equipment who sort packages in the terminal).
This organisation takes customer service very seriously. The revenue for any package that fails to meet the organisation’s service commitment to the customer is not assigned to the originating and destination terminals.
All company employees receive a wage and a bonus based on the terminal’s economic value added. This system has promoted many debates about the sharing rules for revenues, the inherent inequity of the existing system, and the appropriateness of the revenue share for the hub. Service problems have arisen primarily relating to overdue packages. The terminals believe that most of the service problems relate to wrong sorting in the hub, resulting in packages being sent to the wrong terminals.
Required:
A) Explain why an investment centre is or not an appropriate organisational design in ATCHULO Company Ltd. (15 marks)
B) Assuming that ATCHULO Company Ltd is committed to the current design, how would you improve it? (15 marks)
C) Assuming that ATCHULO Company Ltd has decided that the investment centre model is
unacceptable, what model to performance evaluation would you recommend and why? (15 marks)
Answer:
ATCHULO Company Ltd
A) ATCHULO Company Ltd, as it is currently being operated should not be using an investment center as the appropriate organizational design when a profit center structure could have been applied. However, if it wants to continue the use of the investment center model as a preferred organizational structure, then it should implement the structure fully. For one, an investment center is a division in ATCHULO company that is supposed to be in control of all its investment activities (assets), and is responsible for generating profits (revenue and costs) for its sustenance. Its performance will then be evaluated based on the revenue it generates less the expenses, including the capital costs incurred for generating the revenue.
B) For a better operation of the investment center, revenues generated by the investment centers should be assigned to the investment centers and all their costs will be assigned as well. The investment centers should have their operational assets and make the necessary decisions regarding their use.
The hub should not be sorting packages for the investment centers as each investment center could handle the sorting at their various centers and route packages to appropriate destinations, accordingly. The investment centers should operate their own trucks or outsource such services at some costs. Since packages are sent from one center to the other and vice versa, they can charge for the services they provide for one another. In this way, each investment center's performance will be more accurately evaluated.
C) The investment center approach would have been the best for ATCHULO Company Ltd if it were being properly implemented, both in terms of operational activities and performance evaluation.
However, since ATCHULO Company has decided to change the model, I recommend the centers to be operated as profit centers, because this is the next best thing in terms of performance evaluation. However, each center must be able to make its own revenue and cost decisions, so that it can be assessed based on profit performance.
Explanation:
An investment center in ATCHULO Company should be a unit of the firm that is responsible for its revenue, cost, and investment decisions, with its performance judged based on the overall outcome achieved or the value added to the company.
A profit center in ATCHULO Company is a unit that is only responsible for its revenue and cost decisions, while investment activities are handled from the headquarters. Its performance is evaluated on profits without consideration of the capital costs incurred in generating the profits.
You want to have $18,000 in 9 years for a dream vacation. If you can earn an interest rate of .5 percent per month, how much will you have to deposit today
Answer:
$10,503.59
Explanation:
This question requires us to find how much you have to deposit today if:
Fv = 18,000
Time = 9 years
PV= fv/(1 + i)^n
N = 9 X 12 = 108
I/y = 0.5%
PV = $18,000 / 1.005^108
= $10,503.59
Therefore what you have to deposit today is $10,503.59
A push strategy is favorable when a company Multiple Choice wants to advertise consumer goods. has long distribution channels. needs to explain complex new products. faces high inflation rates. has sufficient print or electronic media available.
Answer:
wants to advertise consumer goods.
The push strategy of marketing helps if the company is new, or if the company wants to advertise a new consumer good.
The new company or the new consumer good is probably not well-known among consumers, and for this reason, pushing the product to them is likely to be more helpful in obtaining sales than a pull strategy.
Needs to explain complex new products.
Complex products like some consumer electronics often need to be sold under a push strategy in which the salesperson explains the product in detail to the potential customer.
This is done because otherwise, consumers may feel intimidated by the complexity of the product, and desist from acquiring it.
Duluth Ranch, Inc. purchased a machine on January 1, 2018. The cost of the machine was $35,000. Its estimated residual value was $11,000 at the end of an estimated 5-year life. The company expects to produce a total of 20,000 units. The company produced 1,300 units in 2018 and 1,750 units in 2019.
Required:
a. Calculate depreciation expense for 2018 and 2019 using the straight-line method.
b. Calculate the depreciation expense for 2018 and 2019 using the units-of-production method.
c. Calculate depreciation expense for 2018 through 2022 using the double-declining balance method.
Answer:
Duluth Ranch, Inc.
a. Depreciation Expense for 2018 and 2019, using the straight-line method:
2018: $24,000/5 = $4,800
2019: $24,000/5 = $4,800
b. Depreciation Expense for 2018 and 2019, using the units-of-production method:
2018 = 1,300 x $1.20 = $1,560
2019 = 1,750 x $1.20 = $2,100
c. Depreciation Expense for 2018 through 2022, using the double-declining balance method:
Depreciation Rate = 100%/5 x 2 = 40%
Beginning Bal. Depreciation Declining balance
2018: $35,000 $14,000 ($35,000 x 40%) $21,000 ($35,000 - 14,000)
2019: $21,000 $8,400 ($21,000 x 40%) $12,600 ($21,000 - $8,400)
2020: $12,600 $1,600 ($12,600 x 40%)* $11,000 ($12,600 - $1,600)
2021: $11,000 $0
2022: $11,000 $0
*NB: The calculated depreciation expense for 2020 is $5,040. But, the balance after depreciation must not be below the residual value. So, only the difference is expensed.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of machine = $35,000
Residual value = 11,000
Depreciable amount $24,000
Useful life = 5 years
Straight-line depreciation per year = $24,000/5 = $4,800
Expected production unit = 20,000
Depreciation rate per unit = $24,000/20,000 = $1.20
b) The straight-line method of depreciation simply divides the depreciable amount ($24,000) by the useful life of 5 years to determine a straight-line depreciation expense of $4,800 per year.
c) The unit-of-production method calculates the depreciation rate per unit (Depreciable amount divided by total expected production units) and applies this rate, $1.20, to the total units produced in each period to determine the depreciation expense.
d) The double-declining balance method divides 100% by the useful life of the asset and then multiplies this 2, to obtain the depreciation rate. This rate is then applied to the cost and declining balance each year. The double-declining balance method, initially does not take into cognizance the residual value of the asset. It only considers this salvage value towards the end when it adjusts the depreciation charge for the last year so that the declined balance will equal to the residual value.

The tables show the spending and revenue for Littleland in 2010. Use the tables and other information to answer the questions. Spending category Value (millions) education $320 welfare and Social Security $890 health care $270 defense $120 payments on debt $170* other $240 *This payment covers total interest owed only. Revenue category Value (millions) income tax $800 sales tax $270 corporate tax $300 social insurance $340 GDP in 2010: $7.3 billion Total debt as of 2009: $3.5 billion How much money (in millions) did Littleland need to borrow in 2010 to finance its government spending
Answer:
$300 million
Explanation:
The computation of debt is shown below:-
But before that we need to determine the following amounts
Total Expenditure = Spending on Education + Spending on Welfare and social security + Spending on Healthcare + Spending on Defense + Payments on Debt + Other Spending
= $320 + $890 + $270 + $120 + $170 + $240
= $2,010 million
Total Revenue = Income Tax + Sales Tax + Corporate Tax + Social Insurance
= $800 + $270 + $300 + $340
= $1710 million
Debt or borrowed amount =Total expenditure - Total revenue
= $2,010 - $1,710
= $300 million
1. A stock has an expected return of 10.2 percent, the risk-free rate is 4.1 percent, and the market risk premium is 7.2 percent. What must the beta of this stock be?
Answer:
Beta is 0.85
Explanation:
The value of Beta can de derived from the CAPM formula of expected return
expected return=risk-free rate+Beta*market risk premium
expected return is 10.2%
risk-free rate is 4.10%
market risk premium is 7.2%
Beta is unknown
10.20%=4.10%+Beta*7.20%
10.20%-4.10%=Beta*7.20%
6.10% ==Beta*7.20%
Beta=6.10% /7.20%
Beta= 0.85
During the first month of the year, the Boise plant produced 92,000 belts. Actual leather purchased was 287,500 strips at $3.60 per strip. There were no beginning or ending inventories of leather. Actual direct labor was 78,200 hours at $12.50 per hour. Required: 1. Compute the costs of leather and direct labor that should be incurred for the production of 92,000 leather belts.
Answer:
1. Cost of Leather
Leather strips cost $12 as a standard for labor.
Cost of Leather = $12 * quantity
Cost of Leather = $12 * 92,000
= $1,104,000
2. DIrect Labor Cost
Costs $9 per the amount of time it takes to produce the belts.
Labor Cost = 9 * 92,000
Labor Cost = $828,000

Standard price for material $0.90
Actual quantity purchased and used in production 100
Standard quantity for units produced 110
Actual labor rate per hour $ 15
Standard labor rate per hour $ 16
Actual hours 200
Standard hours for units produced 220
1. Compute the material price and quantity, and the labor rate and efficiency variances.
2. Describe the possible causes for this combination of favorable and unfavorable variances.
Answer:
1. Computation of variances
a. Material Price Variance = (Actual Price - Standard Price) x Actual Quantity
= ($1 - $0.9) x 100
= $10 U
b. Material Quantity Variance = (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) x Standard Price
= (100 - 110) x $0.9
= $9 F
c. Labor Rate Variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) x Actual hours
= ($15 - $16) x 200
= $200 F
d. Labor Efficiency Variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) x Standard Rate
= (200 - 220) x $16
= $320 F
2. Description of the possible causes for this combination of these variances
a. This could be due to scarcity of resources or major demand for this material, thus prices increasing in the market. Or could be purchase of high quality material than budgeted.
b. This could be because of purchase of higher quality material thus lower damages and could also be due to the efficiency of manufacturing plants.
c.This could be because of the use of less qualified cheap labor.
d.This could be due to good management of labors and strict overseeing, co-ordination of their work activities.
Square Hammer Corp. shows the following information on its 2018 income statement: Sales = $264,000; Costs = $170,000; Other expenses = $7,900; Depreciation expense = $14,500; Interest expense = $13,300; Taxes = $20,405; Dividends = $10,000. In addition, you’re told that the firm issued $4,800 in new equity during 2018 and redeemed $3,300 in outstanding long-term debt. a. What is the 2018 operating cash flow
Answer:
The 2018 operating cash flow is $86,100.
Explanation:
Operating Cash flow is different from Income as it only involves movement in cash.
Thus our first step is to find the Operating Income then adjust it with non-cash items to reach an Operating Cash flow amount.
Sales = $264,000
Less Costs = ($170,000)
Less Other expenses = ($7,900)
Depreciation expense = ($14,500)
Operating Income = $71,600
Adjust for non-cash item - depreciation
Operating Income = $71,600
Add back depreciation = $14,500
Operating Cash flow = $86,100
Interest expenses and taxes are not part of operating income as they arise out of secondary activities of the company.
Conclusion :
The 2018 operating cash flow is $86,100.

Answer:
Hello some important parts of your question is missing ( Table ) attached below is the table
Answer : Number of widgets = 50
Explanation:
The number of widgets that you should sell to maximize revenue can be calculated as
= ( demand for widgets * price per widget ) - Total cost
from the table:
i) ( 10 * 141 ) - 609 = 1410 - 609 = $801
ii) ( 20 *133 ) - 1103 = 2660 - 1103 =$1557
iii) (30 *126) - 1618 = 3780 - 1618 = $2162
iv) (40*128) - 2109 = 5120 - 2109 =$3011
v) (50*113) - 2603 = 5650 -2603 = $3047
vi) (60*97) - 3111 = 5820 - 3111 = $2709
vii) (70*90) - 3619 = 6300 - 3619 =$2681
viii) ( 80*82) - 4103 = 6560 - 4103 = $2457
ix) (90*79) - 4601 = 7110 - 4601 = $2509
From the calculation above the number of widgets that should be sold in other to maximize revenue is : 50. this is because the revenue made is $3047 which is the highest when compared to other revenues generated

Use the following information to answer questions 4a.1-4a.5 Gerrell Corp. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 18,000 shares of stock and $95,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 14,000 shares of stock and $190,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 5 percent. Compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $90,000. The all-equity plan would result in 22,000 shares of stock outstanding. Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 40 percent, what is the EPS for each of these plans
Answer:
Gerrel Corp.
EPS (Earnings per share) = Earnings after Tax/Number of outstanding shares
Plan I:
EBIT = $90,000
Interest = $4,750 ($95,000 x 5%)
Pre-Tax Income = $85,250
Income Tax Exp. 34,100 ($85,250 x 40%)
After Tax Income $51,150
EPS = $51,150/18,000 = $2.84 per share
Plan II:
EBIT = $90,000
Interest = $9,500 ($190,000 x 5%)
Pre-Tax Income = $80,500
Income Tax Exp. 32,200 ($80,500 x 40%)
After Tax Income $48,300
EPS = $48,300/14,000 = $3.45 per share
Plan III:
EBIT = $90,000
Pre-Tax Income = $90,000
Income Tax Exp. 36,000 ($90,000 x 40%)
After Tax Income $54,000
EPS = $54,000/22,000 = $2.45 per share
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Plan I = 18,000 shares + $95,000 debt
Plan II = 14,000 shares + $190,000 debt
Difference = 4,000 shares + $95,000 debt
Share price = $95,000/4,000 = $23.75
EBIT = $90,000
Interest Rate = 5%
Corporate Tax Rate = 40%
b) Capital Structure:
Plan I: (Equity and Debt)
Shares of 18,000 x $23.75 + $95,000 debt = $522,500 in total capital
Plan II: (Equity and Debt)
Shares of 14,000 x $23.75 + $190,000 debt = $522,500 in total capital
Plan III: (All-equity plan):
Shares of 22,000 x $23.75 = $522,500 in total capital
c) The Earnings per share is the measurement of the Net Income to stockholders divided by the number of outstanding shares. It gives an idea about the profitability of the entity, especially with regard to the profit made for common stockholders. The EPS is also one of the metrics used in the calculation of the P/E ratio to indicate whether a company's shares are undervalued or overvalued.
Ireland Corporation obtained a $40,000 note receivable from a customer on June 30, 2011. The note, along with interest at 6%, is due on June 30, 2012. On September 30, 2011, Ireland discounted the note at Cloverdale bank. The bank's discount rate is 10%. What amount of cash did Ireland receive from Cloverdale Bank
Answer:
$39,220
Explanation:
The maturity value of the note receivable on June 30, 2012
= Principal + Interest
= $40,000 + $40,000 x 6%
= $40,000 + $2,400
= $ 42,400
The note is discounted on September 30, 2011. Time period remaining to go till maturity as on September 30, 2011
= 12 - 3 months ( July, Aug and Sep)
= 9 months.
Amount of deduction
= $ 42,400 x 10% x 9/12
= $ 3,180
Finally, the Cash received by Ireland will be
= Maturity value - Discount
= $42,400 - $ 3,180
= $39,220
