A firm wishes to maintain an internal growth rate of 9 percent and a dividend payout ratio of 66 percent. The ratio of total assets to sales is constant at 1, and the profit margin is 8.1 percent. If the firm also wishes to maintain a constant debt-equity ratio, what must it be
Answer:
the constant debt-equity ratio is 2.580
Explanation:
Given:
dividend payout ratio of 66 percent= 0.66
Sustainable Growth rate of 9 percent = 0.09
profit margin is 8.1 percent= 0.081
total assets to sales is constant at 1
We need to calculate the Retention Ratio first,
which gives the percentage of a company's earnings that are not paid out in dividends but credited to retained earnings. It can be calculated using below expression,
Retention Ratio = 1 - Dividend pay-out ratio
Retention Ratio = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34
ROE i.e the return on equity which is a measure of the profitability of a business in relation to the equity can be calculated as;
Sustainable Growth rate = (ROE * Retention Ratio)/(1 - ROE*Retention Ratio)
0.09 = (ROE * 0.34/(1 - ROE*0.34)
0.09 (1 - 0.34ROE) = 0.34ROE
0.09 - 0.0306ROE = 0.34ROE
0.3094ROE = 0.09
ROE = 0.09/0.3094
ROE = 0.290 or 2.90%
debt-equity ratio can now be calculated as;
Return on Equity = Profit Margin×Total Assets to sales ratio×(1+D/E)
0.290 = 0.081*1*(1+D/E)
1 + D/E = 0.290/0.081
1 + D/E = 3.580
D/E = 3.580 - 1 = 2.580
Therefore, the constant debt-equity ratio is 2.580
On December 31, 2021, Coolwear Inc. had balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $44,000 and $1,300, respectively. During 2022, Coolwear wrote off $775 in accounts receivable and determined that there should be an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $4,100 at December 31, 2022. Bad debt expense for 2022 would be:
Answer: $3,575
Explanation:
Opening balance for Allowance for Noncollectable Accounts for 2022 is closing balance for 2021 = $1,300.
Cool wear wrote off $775 during the year which would come out of the allowance;
= 1,300 - 775
= $525
An allowance of $4,100 was determined for the year which means that the Bad debt expense is the difference between the determined allowance and the current balance because this is the amount that the account had to be increased by to cater for the bad debt expense.
= 4,100 - 525
= $3,575
A lumber mill is capable of producing 10,000 board feet of lumber per day when run ten hours per day with minimal breaks. Over the past year, forestry legislation has reduced the availability of raw materials, so the mill has produced an average of 4,575 board feet per day. What is the utilization of the plant
Answer:
45.75%
Explanation:
When asking for the utilization of the plant, the question is basically referring to how much of its full potential is the plant currently operating at. Therefore this can be calculated by dividing its current output (4,575) by its maximum output (10,000) like so...
4,575 / 10,000 = 0.4575
Now we multiply that by 100 in order to get the percentage.
0.4575 * 100 = 45.75%
Therefore the current utilization of the plant is 45.75%
ervis sells $75,000 of its accounts receivable to Northern Bank in order to obtain necessary cash. Northern Bank charges a 5% factoring fee. What entry should Jervis make to record the transaction?
Answer:
Debit Cash account $71,250
Debit Factoring charge $3,750
Credit Accounts receivable $75,000
Explanation:
Factoring accounts receivable involves the sale of the account receivable to another party such that the debt is now payable to that party. This is usually done to ease liquidity and at a charge.
When receivables are factored,
Debit Cash account
Debit Factoring charge
Credit Accounts receivable
Charge on factoring = 5/100 × $75,000
= $3,750
Amount to be received = $75,000 - $3,750
= $71,250
Deborah currently earns a____________ wage of $12.00 per hour; in other words, the amount of her paycheck each week is $12.00 per hour times the number of hours she works. Suppose the price of milk is $2.40 per gallon; in this case, Deborah's_______________ wage, in terms of the amount of milk she can buy with her paycheck, is______________ gallons of milk per hour.
Answer:
Deborah currently earns a_____hourly_______ wage of $12.00 per hour; in other words, the amount of her paycheck each week is $12.00 per hour times the number of hours she works. Suppose the price of milk is $2.40 per gallon; in this case, Deborah's______hourly_________ wage, in terms of the amount of milk she can buy with her paycheck, is______5________ gallons of milk per hour.
Explanation:
The wage is calculated on hourly basis per day, so Deborah currently earns a hourly wage. Unlike a salary, wage is paid per day, or per week.
If milk costs $2.40 per gallon, and
Deborah earns $12.00 per hour, then...
Deborah's hourly wage in terms of the amount of milk she can buy is
==> $12.00 ÷ $2.40 = 5 gallons of milk per hour.
Confectioners, a chain of candy stores, purchases its candy in bulk from its suppliers. For a recent shipment, the company paid $2700 and received 7500 pieces of candy that are allocated among three groups. Group 1 consists of 2230 pieces that are expected to sell for $0.15 each. Group 2 consists of 4960 pieces that are expected to sell for $0.31 each. Group 3 consists of 310 pieces that are expected to sell for $0.67 each. Using the relative sales value method, what is the cost per item in Group 1
Answer:
group units selling price total
1 2,230 $0.15 $334.50
2 4,960 $0.31 $1,537.60
3 310 $0.67 $207.70
total $2,079.80
Something is not right with the question, since the company paid too much money for the candy that they purchased. In order to allocate costs, we divide the cost by the selling price = $2,700 / $2,079.80 = $1.2982
the unit cost for each candy is:
Group sales price per unit adjusting cost factor cost per unit
1 $0.15 $1.2982 $0.195
2 $0.31 $1.2982 $0.402
3 $0.67 $1.2982 $0.87

capital gains
dividends
interest
equity gains
Answer:
1. Steel
2. A Mutual Fund
3. The number of shares of stock sold in a previous day
4. Capital Gains
Explanation:
1. Investment commodities are investments in raw materials or primary goods that are still to be processed such as Agricultural produce and precious metals. Steel falls under this category.
2. A Mutual Fund works by pooling the resources and monies of various people and then investing it in various companies as a single portfolio. This way even though your funds might be little, you can still be able to diversify investments and make a good return.
3. When stock is listed for sale on a particular day, its trading figures for the previous day are listed as well.
4. Capital gain is a way to gain a return when the value of your investment has increased. When you sell that asset at the new price which is higher than the price you bought it, you make a capital gain on the transaction. For instance, R. Taylor bought stock for $100 in 2005 and it is now selling at $900 and Taylor sells it, Taylor now has a capital gain of $800.

Common Stock
= Common Stock + Dividends Declared
= 620,000 + ( 2% * 62,000 shares * $10 par value)
= 620,000 + 12,400
= $632,400
Paid in capital in excess of par value, Common stock
Dividends were declared based on current market value of $31 not par value of $10 so the differnce will be catered for here.
= Balance + Dividends Declared
= 423,000 + (2% * 62,000 * $21 which is differnce between par value and market value)
= 423,000 + 26,040
= $449,040
Retained earnings
= Retained Earnings - Dividends distributed

If workers leave a country to seek out better opportunities in another country, then this will move the original economy up along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. move the original economy down along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the left. shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the right.
Answer: Shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the left.
Explanation:
Workers are an input in the production of goods and services. If workers in an economy reduce in number, this would mean that there would be less workers able to produce goods and services in the country. This will invariably lead to a decrease in the amount of goods and services supplied and when there is a decrease in supply, the Short-Run Aggregate Supply curve will shift to the left to reflect this.
A customer purchases $100,000 of corporate bonds at 80% in a margin account. The customer must deposit:
Answer:
$16,000
Explanation:
Computation of what the customer must deposit for purchasing $100,000 of corporate bonds at 80% in a margin account
Since the minimum maintenance is the standard that is set by FINRA is the greater of 7% of the face amount or 20% of the market value.
Hence,
The bonds are purchased at 80% of $100,000 par, thus the first step is to find the 80% of $100,000. Calculated as :
80%×$100,000= $80,000
Second step is to find the 20% of $80,000 which is calculated as:
20% ×$80,000 = $16,000.
Third step is to find the 7% of $100,000, calculated as:
7% of $100,000 face = $7,000.
Based on the above calculation the greater amount is $16,000 which means that the customer must deposit the amount of $16,000 which is the greater amount.
Job-Order Costing and Decision Making [LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-3]
Taveras Corporation is currently operating at 50% of its available manufacturing capacity. It uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Machine-hours required to support estimated production 225,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 4,275,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 2.00
Required:
1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
2. During the year, Job P90 was started, completed, and sold to the customer for $3,700. The following information was available with respect to this job:
Direct materials 1,702
Direct labor cost $ 1,221
Machine-hours used 84
Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90.
Answer:
a. $21 per machine hours
b. $4,855
Explanation:
a. The computation of the plantwide predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Plantwide predetermined overhead rate is
= Variable overhead cost rate per machine hour + Fixed overhead cost rate per machine hour
= $2 + (fixed manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated machine hours)
= $2 + ($4,275,000 ÷ 225,000 machine hours)
= $2 + $19
= $21 per machine hour
b. Now the total manufacturing cost assigned is
Particulars Amount
Direct material $1,702
Direct labor $1,221
Variable manufacturing overhead $168
(84 × $2)
Total variable cost $3,091
Add:
Fixed manufacturing overhead
(84 × $21) $1,764
Total manufacturing cost assigned
to Job P90 $4,855
Home equity line interest. Sean and Amy Anderson have a home with an appraised value of $180,000 and a mortgage balance of only $90,000. Given that an S&L is willing to lend money at a loan-to-value ratio of 75 percent, how big a home equity credit line can Sean and Amy obtain? How much, if any, of this line would qualify as tax-deductible interest if their house originally cost $100,000?
Answer:
$135,000
$75,000
Explanation:
Home value = $180,000
Loan to Value ratio = 75%
Formula: Maximum loan amount = Home value x loan to value ratio
Maximum loan amount = $180,000 x 75%
Maximum loan amount = $135,000
If the value of house is $100,000 then,
$100,000 x 75% = $75,000
$75,000 would qualify as Tax deductible interest
Abburi Company's manufacturing overhead is 55% of its total conversion costs. If direct labor is $58,500 and if direct materials are $29,200, the manufacturing overhead is:
Answer:
$71,500
Explanation:
The computation of manufacturing overhead is shown below:-
We assume conversion cost = x
Conversion cost = Labor cost + manufacturing overhead
x = $58,500 + 0.55x
x = $58,500 ÷ 0.45
= $130,000
Now the manufacturing overhead is
= Conversion cost × maufacturing overhead percentage
= $130,000 × 55%
= $71,500
We simply applied the above formula
6. ABC Company announced today that it will begin paying annual dividends next year. The first dividend will be $0.10 a share. The following dividends will be $0.20, $0.30, $0.40, and $0.50 a share annually for the following 4 years, respectively. After that, dividends are projected to increase by 2.0 percent per year. How much are you willing to pay to buy one share of this stock today if your desired rate of return is 8.0 percent
Answer:
The amount willing to pay to buy one share is $6.92.
Explanation:
The announcement by company to pay annual dividend = $0.10
2nd year divident amount = $0.20
3rd year divident amount = $0.30
4th year divident amount = $0.40
5th-year divident amount = $0.50
The increase in dividend = 2 percent.
The desired rate of return = 8%
Value after year 5 = (D5 × Growth rate) / (Required rate-Growth rate)
=(0.5 × 1.02) / (0.08-0.02)
=8.5
Therefore, the current value = Future dividend and value × Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=0.1/1.08 + 0.2/1.08^2 + 0.3/1.08^3 + 0.4/1.08^4 + 0.5/1.08^5 + 8.5/1.08^5
=$6.92.

the pure expectations theory holds, which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The maturity risk premium would be zero. b. The yield curve for Treasury securities would be flat, but the yield curve for corporate securities might be downward sloping. c. If 2-year bonds yield more than 1-year bonds, an investor with a 2-year time horizon would almost certainly end up with more money if he or she bought 2-year bonds. d. The yield curve for both Treasury and corporate bonds should be flat. e. The yield curve for Treasury securities cannot be downward sloping.
Answer: The Maturity Risk Premium would be zero.
Explanation:
The Pure Expectations Theory believes that forward rates are just a representation of what people expect Future rates to be.
For this reason therefore, it believed that the Maturity Premium is Zero amongst Long Term Treasury Securities and that the difference in interest rates attached to Treasury bonds of different maturities is simply a result of what people perceive future interest rates to look like but as for Maturity Premiums, it doesn't exist in long term Treasury Securities.

g on january 1 playa company acquires 90 percent ownership in seaside corporation for 180,000 the fair value of noncontrolling interest what will be the amount of consolidated net assets that would be reported
The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
On January 1, Playa Company acquires 90 percent ownership in Seaside Corporation for $180,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at that time is determined to be $20,000. Seaside reports net assets with a book value of $200,000 and fair value of $200,000. Playa Company reports net assets with a book value of $480,000 and a fair value of $525,000 at that time, excluding its investment in Seaside. What will be the amount of consolidated net assets that would be reported immediately after the combination?
Answer:
$680,000
Explanation:
Since Playa Company owns 90% of Seaside Corporation, it is considered Seaside's parent company and it must include all of Seaside's assets when it presents its consolidated balance sheet.
Total net assets reported = $480,000 (Playa's net assets at book value) + $200,000 (Seaside's net assets) = $680,000
You can determine a company’s cash situation by analyzing the cash flow statement. The cash flow statement also helps determine whether the company (1) is generating enough cash from its operations to make new investments and pay dividends or (2) will need to generate cash by issuing new debt or selling its assets.
Which of the following is true for the statement of cash flows?
a. It reflects cash generated and used during the reporting period.
b. It reflects revenues when earned.
Answer: a. It reflects cash generated and used during the reporting period
Explanation:
The Cash flow statement is very important and is useful to various stakeholders in a company with the most important being the Company Management itself and Creditors.
Management are able to use the Cash flow statement to see how much actual cash was spent in the year as well as how much was used. This is important because the Income statement contains entries that might show revenue that have not being received or expenses such as depreciation that did not impact the actual cash the company has. The Cash flow statement fixes this by showing those actual figures thus enabling the company to plan better.
It is also useful to Creditors so that they see if a company is able to pay them for the period.

In 1985, a given Japanese imported automobile sold for 1,476,000 yen, or $8,200. If the car still sold for the same amount of yen today but the current exchange rate is 144 yen per dollar, what would the car be selling for today in U.S. dollars?
Answer:
The car will be selling for $10250 today
Explanation:
To calculate the selling price of the car in dollars today, we have to convert the value of 1476000 yen into dollars based on the exchange rate between dollars and yen today. It is known that the car will be sold for the same amount of yen today for which it was sold in 1985 and this amount is 1476000 yen.
We know that 1 dollar equals 144 yen.
Thus, let x be the number of dollars that equal 1476000 yen today.
x = 1476000 / 144
x = $10250
The car will be sold for $10250 today

You have been appointed to lead an existing group. Your boss, who informed you of the assignment, made these comments: "These people have some real issues. They have been a problem for years. They stick together like family but never seem to get much work done." Which of these would best describe this group?
Answer:
This is a group that can be defined by its high cohesiviness and low performance norms.
Explanation:
In this case, the new leader must focus on solving this problem that already exists where team members have high cohesion, but who have a low performance with regard to compliance with internal rules and procedures.
The ideal in this case would be for the leader to review the set of company policies and standards and seek to establish new rules and procedures for living and working together.
Having a cohesive team is not a weakness for an organization, the ideal is to know how to exploit the potential of each member of that team, so that each one delivers to the company an effective job that contributes to the achievement of the objectives and organizational goals.
The manager can also invest in training, redesigning the layout of work and tasks, setting deadlines for completing activities, delivering warnings to ward off inappropriate behavior during working hours, etc.
