Answer:
The second machine should be chosen because the NPV is higher and it has a positive NPV
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
For machine A
Cash flow in year 0 = $-9,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $5,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $4,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $2,000
I = 15%
NPV = $-312.57
For machine b
Cash flow in year 0 = $-9,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $1,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $2,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $11,000
I = 15%
NPV = $614.531

Ayayai Inc. presented the following data. Net income $2,680,000 Preferred stock: 48,000 shares outstanding, $100 par, 8% cumulative, not convertible 4,800,000 Common stock: Shares outstanding 1/1 729,600 Issued for cash, 5/1 273,600 Acquired treasury stock for cash, 8/1 160,800 2-for-1 stock split, 10/1
Compute earnings per share. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.55.)
Answer:
$1.35 per share
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the weighted shares outstanding.
The earnings per share can be computed as follows:
Weighted shares outstanding = 1,702,000 shares
Preferred stock dividend = 48,000 * $100 * 8% = $384,000
Net income = $2,680,000
Net income after preferred stock dividend = $2,680,000 - $384,000 = $2,296,000
Earnings per share = Net income after preferred stock dividend / Weighted shares outstanding = $2,296,000 / 1,702,000 = $1.35 per share
The beginning and ending finished goods inventories of the Prize Ring manufacturing company were $84,000 and $79,750 respectively. If cost of goods sold equaled $71,400, what is the amount of cost of goods manufactured for this period
Answer:
$67,150
Explanation:
The computation of cost of goods manufactured for this period is shown below:-
Cost of goods sold = Beginning finished goods + Cost of goods manufactured - Ending finished goods
$71,400 = $84,000 + Cost of goods manufactured - $79,750
$71,400 = $4,250 + Cost of goods manufactured
Cost of goods manufactured = $71,400 - $4,250
= $67,150
Therefore for computing the cost of goods manufactured we simply applied the above formula.
Depreciation associated with a project will: Answer A. cause incremental cash flows to increase B. only affect the fixed asset account as depreciation is a sunk cost C. have no effect on incremental cash flows D. cause incremental operating cash flows to decrease
Answer: A. cause incremental cash flows to increase
Explanation:
Incremental Cashflow (ICF) is the added cash that a company gets from embarking on a project which means that this Cashflow must be independent of expenses. If ICF is positive then the company will see it's Cashflow increase if they accept the project because it will contribute to their cash flow.
ICF is calculated from the Net Income of the project but seeing as Depreciation is a non-cash expense that is removed from the Income Statement. In calculating ICF it is added back as ICF deals with actual cash and Depreciation did not cost any actual cash.
More Depreciation therefore means an increase in Incremental Cash flow when it is being calculated from Net Income.
At the beginning of its current fiscal year, Willie Corp.’s balance sheet showed assets of $13,400 and liabilities of $5,200. During the year, liabilities decreased by $1,400. Net income for the year was $2,850, and net assets at the end of the year were $8,950. There were no changes in paid-in capital during the year. Required: Calculate the dividends, if any, declared during the year.
Answer:
Willie Corp.
Calculation of dividends during the year:
Dividends = $5,900 ($14,850 - $8,950)
The difference between the accounting equation of Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Explanation:
Past Fiscal Year:
Assets = $13,400
Liabilities = $5,200
Equity = $8,200 ($13,400 - 5,200)
Current Fiscal Year:
Assets = $8,950
Liabilities = $3,800 ($5,200 - 1,400)
Equity = $8,200
Net Income = $2,850
Total Liabilities + Equity + Net Income = $14,850
Dividends paid = $5,900 ($14,850 - $8,950)
The solution is in the accounting equation, which states that Assets are equal to the Liabilities plus the Equity. Any difference must therefore be an increase in equity (Retained Earnings) or a decrease (Net Loss or Dividends). What reduces equity is the dividends paid out to stockholders or the loss incurred during the period. Since there was a net income of $2,850, there was no loss, therefore, equity reduces as a result of dividends.
During the period, Sanchez Company sold some excess equipment at a loss. The following information was collected from the company's accounting records:
From the Income Statement:
Depreciation expense $860
Loss on sale of equipment 2,800
From the Balance Sheet:
Beginning equipment 20,000
Ending equipment 10,200
Beginning accumulated depreciation 1,950
Ending accumulated depreciation 1,790
No new equipment was bought during the period.
1) For the equipment that was sold, determine its original cost, its accumulated depreciation, and the cash received from the sale.
2) Sanchez Company uses the indirect method for the Operating Activities section of the cash flow statement. What amount related to the sale would be added or subtracted in the computation of Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities?
3) What amount related to the sale would be added or subtracted in the computation of Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities?
Answer:
1) For the equipment that was sold, determine its original cost, its accumulated depreciation, and the cash received from the sale.
original cost = $9,800accumulated depreciation = $1,020cash received = $5,9802) Sanchez Company uses the indirect method for the Operating Activities section of the cash flow statement. What amount related to the sale would be added or subtracted in the computation of Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities?
the loss on sale of equipment ($2,800) should be added to the cash flows from operating activities.3) What amount related to the sale would be added or subtracted in the computation of Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities?
the cash received ($5,980) should be added to the cash flow from investing activitiesExplanation:
equipment cost = beginning equipment - ending equipment = $20,000 - $10,200 = $9,800
equipment's accumulated depreciation = beginning accumulated depreciation + depreciation expense - ending depreciation = $1,950 + $860 - $1,790 = $1,020
book value = $9,800 - $1,020 = $8,780
cash received = book value - loss = $8,780 - $2,800 = $5,980
In the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because: a. of government regulations. b. of collusion. c. firms are free to enter and exit the market. d. firms produce a differentiated product.
Answer:
c. firms are free to enter and exit the market.
Explanation:
A monopolistically competitive market is a market in which there are a lot of organizations that sell products that are similar and it tends to be easy to enter and leave the industry. Because it is easy for a company to enter the market and there is a lot of competition, in the long run the economic profit is zero. According to this, the answer is that in the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because firms are free to enter and exit the market.
The other options are not right because a monopolistically competitive market has zero profits because of its low entry barriers and amount of competitors not because of government regulations or an illegal agreement between organizations to control competition. Also, in a monopolistically competitive market the products are similar.
You are evaluating an investment that requires $2,000 upfront, and pays $500 at the end of each of the first 2 years, and an additional lump-sum of $1000 at the end of year 2. What would happen to the IRR if the annual payment at the end of the first year go down from $500 to $300 and the annual payment at the end of second year stays at $500
Answer:
The IRR decreases
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
To determine what happens to the IRR when year 1 Cash flow changes, we have to calculate the IRR in both scenarios.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
IRR when year 1 cash flow in $500
Cash flow in year 0 = $-2000
Cash flow in year 1 = $500
Cash flow in year 2 = $500 + $1000 = $1500
IRR = 0
IRR when year 1 cash flow in $500
Cash flow in year 0 = $-2000
Cash flow in year 1 = $300
Cash flow in year 2 = $1500
IRR = -5.57%
The IRR decreases and turns negative
To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Real GDP is: Select one: a. GDP based on the current prices, and not adjusted for inflation b. GDP that has been corrected for inflation c. GDP that subtracts out production that damages the environment d. Is GDP that "keeps it 100" (this is a joke and not the answer)
Answer:
b. GDP that has been corrected for inflation
Explanation:
Real gross domestic product (GDP) can be described as a macroeconomic measure that has been adjusted for inflation in order to show the value of goods and services produced in an economy in a particular.
Real GDP is expressed in base-year prices and this is the reason it is usually refereed to as constant dollar GDP, constant price GDP or inflation-corrected GDP because it adjusts for changes in prices due to inflation.
Therefore, the correct option is b. GDP that has been corrected for inflation.
Note that Real GDP is different nominal GDP. Unlike the real GDP, Nominal GDP refers to GDP that is evaluated at current market prices without adjuting or correcting for changes in prices due to inflation.
In 2016, Teller Company sold 3,000 units at $600 each. Variable expenses were $420 per unit, and fixed expenses were $270,000. The same selling price, variable expenses, and fixed expenses are expected for 2017. What is Teller's break-even point in units for 2017
Answer:
1500
Explanation:
Breakeven point is the number of units produced and sold where net income is art on it is where revenue equals cost.
The formula for calculating break even points = F / (P - V)
F = fixed cost
P = price
V = variable cost per unit
$270,000 / ($600 - $420) = 1500

11.Jones and company had a balance in their retained earnings account at the end of 2020 in the amount of 990,000. They have forecasted net income in 2021 in the amount of 350,000. They pay an estimated 40% of their net income in dividends. What will be the addition to retained earnings at the end of 2021. What will be the ending balance in retained earnings at the end of 2021
Answer:
$210,000 and $1,200,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Given that
Ending Balance in retained earnings = $990,000
Net income = $350,000
Dividend paid in 2021 is
= 40% of net income
= 40% of $350,000
= $140,000
So, the Addition to retained earning is
= Net income - dividends
= $350,000 - $140,000
= $210,000
Now the ending balance in retained earnings is
= Beginning balance in retained earnings + addition to retained earnings
= $990,000 + $210,000
= $1,200,000
Liability policies, such as personal liability, professional malpractice, or business liability insurance, do NOT protect the insured against a. a personal injury on the insured's property, such as the mail carrier who slips and falls on the owner's sidewalk. b. intentional harm caused by the insured. c. someone injured by the insured away from home or business. d. claims for property damaged by the insured.
Answer:
b. intentional harm caused by the insured.
Explanation:
Liability insurance is a means to provide the insured party with some protection against claims resulting from injuries and damage to people or property, covering both legal costs and any payouts for which the insured party would be responsible if found legally liable.
Note that there are two types of liability coverage: bodily injury and property damage. Most states in the US require liability coverages, subject to limits, which is the maximum amount the insurer will pay when the incident occurs. For example, a car accident can be expensive. This is why there is a limit of compensation which an insurer can offer.
Paladin Furnishings generated $4 million in sales during 2016, and its year-end total assets were $2.4 million. Also, at year-end 2016, current liabilities were $500,000, consisting of $200,000 of notes payable, $200,000 of accounts payable, and $100,000 of accrued liabilities. Looking ahead to 2017, the company estimates that its assets must increase by $0.60 for every $1.00 increase in sales. Paladin's profit margin is 3%, and its retention ratio is 55%. How large of a sales increase can the company achieve without having to raise funds externally
Answer:
$105,571.6
Explanation:
Calculation of how large of a sales increase can the company achieve without having to raise funds externally.
The first step is to calculate the self-supporting growth rate using this Formula:
Self-supporting growth rate =
M (1-POR) (S0)÷A0 – L0 – M (1-POR) (S0)
Where:
M = Net Income/Sales = 3%
POR = Payout ratio = 55%
S0 = Sales = $4,000,000
A0 = $2,400,000
L0 = Spontaneous liabilities = $200,000+$100,000 =$300,000
We are using only accounts payable and accruals for LO because they are been considered as spontaneous liabilities
Let plug in the formula
.03 (1 - .55) (4,000,000) ÷2,400,000-300,000 - .01(1-.55)(4,000,000)
=54,000÷2,100,000 – 54,000
=54,000÷2,046,000
=2.63929%
Therefore, the self-sustaining growth rate will be 2.63929%
Second step is to Calculate for how large a sales can increase
Using this formula
Sales amount * Self-sustaining growth rate
Let plug in the formula
$4,000,000×2.63929%
=$105,571.6
Therefore, the sales can increase by $105,571.6

Emily is considering purchasing a new home for $400,000. She intends to put 20% down and finance $320,000, but is unsure which financing option to select. Emily is considering the following options: o Option 1: Fixed rate mortgage over 30 years at 8% interest, zero points, or o Option 2: Fixed rate mortgage over 30 years at 4% interest, plus two discount points. How long would her financial planner recommend that she live in the house to break even using Option 2 presuming she is not financing the points
Answer:
The break even for Emily using Option 2 presuming she is not financing the points is 7.8
Explanation:
Solution
In this case, in other to determine this problem, we need to find the monthly payments for both options
For option 1 (EMI)
Where
P = 320,000,
r =0.08/12 = 0.00667
n = 360
Now,
EMI = P *r * (1 + r)^n/ (1 + r)^n -1
So,
EMI =320,000 * 0.00667 * (1 + 0.00667)^360/ (1 + 0.00667)^360
EMI = 23329.56/9.93573
=2348.05
For Option 2
P = 320,000,
n = 360
r = 4%/12 = 0.003333
Thus,
EMI =320,000 * 0.003333 * (1 + 0.003333)^360/ (1 + 0.003333)^360
EMI = 3534.398/2.313498
=1527.73
Note:
When Emily is paying 2 discount point in the second option, she is paying the following:
2% * 320000 = 6400
Also she is saving the following:
2.348.05 - 1527.73
=820.32 on payment (monthly) because of the reduction of EMI in the second option
Thus,
The break even time is =payments due to points/ monthly savings
=6400/820.32
=7.8

McCoy Brothers manufactures and sells two products, A and Z in the ratio of 5:2. Product A sells for $75; Z sells for $95. Variable costs for product A are $35; for Z $40. Fixed costs are $418,500. Compute the contribution margin per composite unit
Answer:
Weighted average contribution margin= $44.29
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales proportion:
Product A= 5/7= 0.714
Product Z= 2/7= 0.286
Product A sells for $75; Z sells for $95.
Variable costs for product A are $35; for Z $40.
To determine the contribution margin per composite unit, we need to use the following formula:
Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
Weighted average contribution margin= (0.714*75 + 0.286*95) - (0.714*35 + 0.286*40)
Weighted average contribution margin= 80.72 - 36.43
Weighted average contribution margin= $44.29
The nation of Cranolia used to prohibit international trade, but now trade is allowed, and Cranolia is exporting furniture. Relative to the previous no-trade situation, buyers of furniture in Cranolia are now better off.a) trueb) false
Answer:
False
Explanation:
In simple words, the manufacturers of furniture in the country now will have an incentive to supply their production to other countries which might give them better price for their product.
Due to this, the supply in the domestic country for furniture will decrease with demand being stable on the same level leading to high price in domestic market.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the export decision is good for the economy as a whole but is not suitable for furniture buyers in the country.
Assume that the tax rate on corporate taxable income up to $50,000 is 15%, and 25% for income levels between $50,001 and $75,000. If the Clumsy Chihuahua Music Company has a taxable income of $55,000, then it has a tax liability of and an average tax rate of . Suppose you want to invest $10,000. You have two options:
Answer: 47.7%
Explanation:
Given Data:
Tax rate = 50% for $50,000
25% for $50,001 - 75,000
Clumsy chihuahua taxable income = $55,000
Therefore:
Clumsy chihuahuas taxable income puts him in the 25% tax rate
His first $50,000 incoming would be taxed using 50%
= 0.5 * $50,000
= $25,000
And the remaining $5,000 would be taxed using 25%
= 0.25 * $5000
= $1,250
Tax = $25,000 + $1,250
= $26,250
$26,250 / $55,000 * 100
= 0.477 * 100
= 47.7%
Though he falls on the 25% taxable income rate he would pay 47.7% from his income as tax:
The Accounts Payable account has a $3,700 credit balance. An entry for the payment of $1,350 on the amount owed is recorded and posted. The new balance of the Accounts Payable account is Multiple Choice a $2,350 credit balance. a $2,350 debit balance. a $5,050 debit balance. a $5,050 credit balance.
Answer:
a $2,350 credit balance
Explanation:
Accounts payable is a liability account. As such, when a credit entry into the account increases the balance and a debit entry reduces the balance in the account.
For the payment of an amount owed, it will be posted as a debit.
Therefore the balance in the account after the posting
= ($3700) + $1350
= ($2350)
Note the parenthesis was used to indicate a credit item.
Assume a company pays tax at a rate of 15% on its first $50,000 of income. Any income above $50,000 is taxed at 25%. If a company has $75,000 of taxable income, which of the following statements is correct?
a. Its marginal tax rate is 15%.
b. Its average tax rate is 25%.
c. Its marginal tax rate is 18.33%.
d. Its average tax rate is 18.33%.
Answer:
Option C, Its marginal tax rate is 18.33%. is correct
Explanation:
The tax payable on its first $50,000 of income is shown below:
tax payable=$50,000*15%=$7500
The tax payable on the remaining balance of $25,000 is computed thus:
tax payable on the balance of $25,000=$25,000*25%=$6250
Total tax payable=$7,500+$6,250=$ 13,750.00
Marginal tax rate=tax payable/taxable income=$ 13,750.00/$75,000=18.33%
If I purchase a home for $150,000. I do a fixed 30-year mortgage at 6%. I have to put down 10%. What would be my annual payment? Answer: $6,456.72 Answer: $9,376.24 Answer: $9,712.72 Answer: $12,345.67
Answer:
Annual payment $9,712.72
Explanation:
Loan Amount = Cost of home - down payment
Loan amount = 150,000 - (10%× 150,000)= 135,000
Monthly payment = Loan Amount/Annuity factor
Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n) )/r
r- monthly interest rate, n- number of months
Monthly interest rate = 0.5%
Number of months = 30× 12 = 360 months
Annuity factor = (1- (1+0.005)^(-360))/0.005= 166.7916144
Monthly payment = Loan Amount/Annuity factor
Monthly payment = 135,000/ 166.79=809.393209
Annual payment = Monthly payment × 12
Annual payment = 809.39 × 12 =9,712.718
Annual payment $9,712.72
Douglas County sought bids for a construction project. Robert Taggart wanted to submit a bid but knew the project needed rock. He talked with some owners of a rock source and was told the rock was for sale but the price could not be determined until the other owner was consulted. Taggart prepared an incomplete bid, told his bookkeeper to get the rock price and complete the bid. Taggart left on vacation. The bookkeeper did so and submitted the bid. The bids were opened. Taggart’s bid was the lowest, but it was learned later that day that the rock was longer for sale. The next day the bookkeeper delivered a written bid withdrawal to the county. The county subsequently awarded the contract to Taggart.
Required:
Is there a contract? If so, what aspect of contract law might apply here? If not, why?
Answer:
No, there is no contract between the two parties because of withdrawal of offer (Revocation) before the acceptance of the other party.
Explanation:
When one party offers another party and after some time the offer maker withdraws the offer by communicating that they had revoked then the offer is no more available to the other party and is often termed as Revocation. So when the offer maker revokes before the acceptance of the offer by the other party then their is no offer at consideration to the other party, which means if there is no offer then their can not be an acceptance of an offer and of course when there is no acceptance then there is no contract.
The communication of revocation was held before the acceptance of the offer of the other party which agains says that the contract was not actually formed.
A specific product has demand during lead time of 100 units, with a standard deviation of 25 units. What safety stock (approximately) provides a 95% service level? A) 41 B) 55 C) 133 D) 140 E) 165
Answer: A. 41 units
Explanation:
Safety Stock refers to inventory that a company holds in case certain factors cause them to run out of goods to sell.
It is calculated by the following formula;
Safety Stock = Lead time factor * Service factor * Standard Deviation
The desired service factor for a 95% service level as shown in the attached table is, 1.64.
Assume a 1 month lead time factor.
Safety Stock = 1 * 1.64 * 25
= 41 units
The safety stock (approximately) that provides a 95% service level is A) 41.
Using this formula
Safety Stock = Lead time × Service factor × Standard Deviation
Where:
Lead time=1 month
Service factor=95%= 1.64
Standard Deviation=25 units
Let plug in the formula
Safety Stock=1×1.64×25
Safety Stock=41 units
Inconclusion the safety stock (approximately) that provides a 95% service level is A) 41.

Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $75,000 or $330,000 with equal probabilities of 0.5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 4% per year.
A. If you require a risk premium of 7%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?
B. Suppose the portfolio can be purchased for the amount you found in (a). What will the expected rate of return on the portfolio be?
C. Now suppose you require a risk premium of 15%. What is the price you will be willing to pay now?
Answer:
A. $182,432.43
B. 11%
C. $165,983.607
Explanation:
A. The computation of value of portfolio is shown below:-
Value of portfolio = (Cash flow × equal probabilities) ÷ (1 + (Risk free rate + Risk premium))
= (($75,000 × 0.5) + ($330,000 × 0.5)) ÷ (1 + (4% + 7%))
= $202,500 ÷ 1.11
= $182,432.4324
or
= $182,432.43
B. The computation of expected rate of return on the portfolio is shown below:-
Rate of return is
= (Cash flow × equal probabilities) - (value of portfolio) ÷ (value of portfolio)
= ($202,500 - $182,432.43) ÷ $182,432.43
= $20,067.57 ÷ $182,432.43
= 0.11
or
= 11%
C. The computation of value of portfolio is shown below:-
Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk premium
= 7% + 15%
= 22%
Price = Expected cash flow ÷ (1 + Required rate of return)
= $202,500 ÷ (1 + 0.22)
= $202,500 ÷ 1.22
= $165,983.607
A customer establishes a combined margin account by purchasing $10,000 of ABC stock and selling short $10,000 of XYZ stock, depositing the Regulation T requirement. Subsequently, the market value of the ABC position increases to $20,000, while the market value of the XYZ position decreases to $5,000. If no other activity occurs in the account, the account will show a current SMA balance of
Answer:
Current SMA balance is $15,000
Explanation:
SMA means special memorandum account, where excess margin recouped from investing the fund in customer's margin account is held.
Since ABC was bought for $10,000, while it's current worth is $20,000
Margin recorded = $20,000 - $10,000
= $10,000
XYZ stock sells short at $10,000, while it's current worth is $5,000
Margin recorded on short sell
=$10,000 - $5,000
=$5,000
SMA current balance
= $10,000 + $5,000
= $15,000

Your parents are giving you $170 a month for 5 years while you are in college. At a 7 percent discount rate, what are these payments worth to you when you first start college
Answer:
PV= $8,586.15
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $170
Number of months= 5*12= 60
Discount rate= 0.07/12= 0.00583
First, we need to calculate the future value, using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {170*[(1.00583 ^60)-1]} / 0.00583
FV= $12,169.53
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 12,169.53/(1.00583^60)
PV= $8,586.15
