On February 22, Brett Corporation acquired 250 shares of its $3 par value common stock for $26 each. On March 15, the company resold 66 shares for $29 each. What is true of the entry for reselling the shares
Answer: Credit Additional Paid in Capital $198
Explanation:
Brett Corporation reissued the Treasury Stock at $29 which was $3 higher than the amount they had repurchased it for.
When stock is sold for a price higher or lower than they are worth, the balance goes to the Additional Paid-in Capital account. If it is sold higher, the balance is Credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account and if it is sold for lower than it is worth, it is debited.
The Balance here is,
= $3 * 66 resold shares
= $198
This $198 will therefore be credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account.

Spencer Company purchased a tractor at a cost of $360,000 on January 1, 2019. The tractor has an estimated salvage value of $60,000 and an estimated life of 8 years. If Spencer uses the straight-line method, what is the book value at January 1, 2023
Answer:
$210,000
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $360,000 - $60,000) / 8 = $37,500
Depreciation expense each year of the useful life would be $37,500.
Book value in 2023 = Cost of asset - accumulated deprecation
There are 4 years between January 1, 2019 and January 1, 2023.
Accumulated depreciation = $37,500 x 4 = $150,000
Book value = $360,000 - $150,000 = $210,000

Hulston Appliances Co. wants to introduce a new digital display, laser driven iron to the market. The estimated unit sales price is $44.00. The required investment is $88,000. Unit sales are expected to be 8,800 and the minimum required rate of return on all investments is 10.00%. Compute the target cost per iron.
Answer:
Target cost per unit = $43 per unit
Explanation:
Target cost is the cost at which a product must be produced and sold to achieve a desired profit margin
Target cost =(Sales revenue - (ROI × capital) )/ No of units
Target cost =( (44 × 8,800) - (10%× $88,000 ) )/ 8,800 guns
Target cost per unit = (387200 - 8800 ) / 8,800 units= $43 per unit
Target cost per unit = $43 per unit
Suppose we hold a forward contract on a stock with expiration 66 months from now. We entered into this contract 66 months ago so that when we entered into the contract, the expiration was T = 1T=1 year. The stock price$ 66 months ago was S_0 = 100S 0 =100, the current stock price is 125125 and the current interest rate is r = 10\%r=10% compounded semi-annually. (This is the same rate that prevailed 66 months ago.) What is the current value of our forward contract? Please submit your answer in dollars rounded to one decimal place so if your answer is 42.67842.678 then you should submit an answer of 42.742.7.
Answer:
The current value of our forward contract is $105.1
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Spot - 6 months ago=$ 100
Spot - Current=125
Interest rate= 10%
Time=12 months
Therefore, to calculate the current value of our forward contract we would have to make the following calculation:
Forward Price=Spot price*e^(rt)
=$100*e^(0.1*0.5)
Forward Price=$105.1
The current value of our forward contract is $105.1

when you are using the lower of cost or net realizable value to determine the value of your inventory, you should calculate the inventory's value using the lowest cost between purchase cost and market value.
Consider the following case of Free Spirit Industries Inc :
Suppose Free Spirit Industries Inc. is considering a project that will require $400,000 in assets:
• The company is small, so it is exempt from the interest deduction limitation under the new tax law.
• The project is expected to produce earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $45,000.
• Common equity outstanding will be 10,000 shares.
• The company incurs a tax rate of 25%."
If the project is financed using 100% equity capital, then Free Spirit Industries Inc.'s return on equity (ROE) on the project will be____________. In addition, Free Spirit's earnings per share (EPs) will be____________
Alternatively, Free Spirit Industries Inc.'s CFO is also considering financing the project with 50% debt and 50% equity capital. The interest rate on the company's debt will be 12%. Because the company will finance only 50% of the project with equity, it will have only 12, 500 shares outstanding. Free Spirit Industries Inc.'s ROE and the company's EPS will be_____________ if management decides to finance the project with 50% debt and 50% equity.
Typically, the use of financial average will make the probability distribution of ROIC:__________
Answer:
Return on equity (ROE) on the project will be 8.43%. In addition, Free Spirit's earnings per share (EPs) will be $3.375 per share
ROE and the company's EPS will be 7.875% if management decides to finance the project with 50% debt and 50% equity.
The use of financial average will make the probability distribution of ROIC $4.5
Explanation:
Calculation of When the company financed with 100% equity
Using this formula
ROE = (EBIT – Interest)(1-Tax Rate)/Equity
Let plug in the formula
When financed with 100% equity,
ROE = 45,000(1-25%)/400,000
ROE=45,000(0.75)/400,000
ROE=33,750/400,000
ROE=8.43
Calculation for the Free Spirit's earnings per share (EPs)
EPS = (45,000)(1-25%)/10,000
EPS=45,000*0.75/10,000
EPS=33,750/10,000
= $3.375 per share
Calculation of When the company financed with 50% Debt
50%×400,000=200,00
ROE = (45,000 – 200,000*12%)(1-25%)/200,000
ROE=21,000×0.75/200,000
ROE=15,750/200,000
ROE=
= 7.875%
EPS = Net Income/Outstanding shares
EPS=45,000/10,000
EPS.=4.5 per share
Hence,7.875 % and $4.5 respectively
Jolene hired Lacy to find a buyer for her house. Adam was interested in buying the house. If both Jolene and Adam agree, Lacy, a real estate agent, may represent both parties.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Lacy can represent both parties. If Lacy represents both parties this is known as dual agency.
As the “dual” agent Lacy handles all of the communications, paperwork, and negotiations between both parties, that is the buyer and seller who happens to be Jolene and Adam. She is supposed to remain neutral as the facilitator of the deal with no fiduciary duty to either side. Fiduciary duty is to uphold a client's interest in good faith an trust.
A zero-coupon bond is selling at a deep discount price of $450. It matures in 11 years. If the yield to maturity of the bond is 6.2%, what is the duration of the bond (rounded to two places)
Answer:
Duration is 11 years
Explanation:
The Duration of a zero coupon bond is equal to it's maturity. Since it matures at 11 years the duration of the bond is therefore also 11 years.
It is a bond that pays no interest. A zero-coupon bond is a bond where the face value is what is repaid during the time of maturity. There are no periodic interest payments, or have so-called coupons, that is why they are referred to as zero-coupon bond. Investor gets par value when it matures.
Fortune, Inc., is preparing its master budget for the first quarter. The company sells a single product at a price of $25 per unit. Sales (in units) are forecasted at 39,000 for January, 59,000 for February, and 49,000 for March. Cost of goods sold is $12 per unit. Other expense information for the first quarter follows. Commissions 11 % of sales dollars Rent $ 20,000 per month Advertising 12 % of sales dollars Office salaries $ 74,000 per month Depreciation $ 49,000 per month Interest 11 % annually on a $270,000 note payable Tax rate 40 % Prepare a budgeted income statement for this first quarter. (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Budgeted Income Statement For Quarter Ended March 31
Sales $3,675,000
Cost of goods sold $1,764,000
Gross profit $1,911,000
Operating expenses
Commissions expense $404,250
Rent expense $60,000
Advertising expense $441,000
Office salaries expense $222,000
Depreciation expense $147,000
Interest expense $ 7,425
Total operating expenses $1,281,675
Income before taxes $629,325
Income tax expense $251,730
Net income $ 377,595
Explanation:
Commissions 11 % of sales dollars
Rent $ 20,000 per month
Advertising 12 % of sales dollars
Office salaries $ 74,000 per month
Depreciation $ 49,000 per month
Interest 11 % annually on a $270,000 note payable
Tax rate 40%
Sales = Number of units for first quarter × price per unit
= (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $25
= $3,675,000
Cost of goods = (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $12
= $1,764,000
Commissions expense = 11 % of sales = 11% × $3,675,000 = $404,250
Advertising expense = 12 % of sales = 12% × $3,675,000 = $441,000
Interest expense = 11 % annually on a $270,000
= 11% × 270,000 × 3/12
= $ 7,425
Income = Gross profit - total operating expenses
= $1,911,000 - $1,281,675
= $629,325
Income tax expenses = 40% × $629,325 = $251,730

Peanuts are an input in the production of peanut butter. If a decrease in the supply of peanuts increases the price of peanuts, what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity in the peanut butter market?
Answer:
Equilibrium price would rise
Equilibrium quantity would fall
Explanation:
If the supply of peanuts falls, it would lead to a rise in the price of peanuts because the demand for peanuts woild exceed its supply.
The rise in price would increase the cost of production of peanut butter because peanut is an input in the production of peanut butter. This rise in cost would discourage suppliers and supply of peanut butter would fall. As a result equilibrium quantity would fall. As a result of a fall in supply of peanut butter, demand would exceed supply and equilibrium price would rise.

A corporation can earn 7.5% if it invests in municipal bonds. The corporation can also earn 8.30% (before-tax) by investing in preferred stock. Assume that the two investments have equal risk. What is the break-even corporate tax rate that makes the corporation indifferent between the two investments? Assume a 70% dividend exclusion for tax on dividends. (Do not round your intermediate answer and round your final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
32.13%
Explanation:
The computation of the break-even corporate tax is shown below:
As we know that
Municipal bond return = preferred stock return before tax × [1 - (1 - dividend exclusion) × Break even corporate tax]
7.5 = 8.30 × [1 - ( 1 - 0.70) × Break even corporate tax ]
7.5 ÷ 8.30 = 1 - 0.30 × Break even corporate tax
0.9036 = 1 - 0.30 × Break even corporate tax
0.30 × Break even corporate tax = 1 - 0.9036
So, Break even corporate tax is
= 0.0964 ÷ 0.30
= 32.13%
Basically we applied the above formula

Lord Greystroke uses his limited income to purchase fruits and nuts; he is currently buying 10 pounds of fruits at a price of $2 per pound and 5 pounds of nuts at a price of $6 per pound. The last pound of fruits added 10 units to Lord Greystroke's total utility, while the last pound of nuts added 30 units. Lord Greystroke:__________.
1. is making the utility-maximizing choice.
2. should buy more fruits and less nuts because the last pound of fruits cost less than the last pound of nuts.
3. should buy more fruits and less nuts because the last dollar spent on fruits added more to total utility than the last dollar spent on nuts.
4. should buy more nuts and less fruits because the last pound of nuts added more to total utility than the last pound of fruits.
5. should buy more nuts and less fruits because the last dollar spent on nuts added more to total utility than the last dollar spent on fruits.
Answer:
1. Is the answer
Explanation:
the utility-maximizing choice between consumption goods happens where the marginal utility per dollar is the same for both goods, and the consumer has finished his or her budget. By buying 10 pounds of fruits at a price of $2 per pound and 5 pounds of nuts at a price of $6 per pound. The last pound of fruits added 10 units to Lord Greystroke's total utility, while the last pound of nuts added 30 units. Lord Greystroke is utilizing this concept

Trailblazer Company sells a product for $210 per unit. The variable cost is $105 per unit, and fixed costs are $588,000. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the sales units required for the company to achieve a target profit of $223,440.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Trailblazer Company sells a product for $210 per unit. The variable cost is $105 per unit, and fixed costs are $588,000.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 588,000/ (210 - 105)
Break-even point in units= 5,600 units
Desired profit= 223,440
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (588,000 + 223,440) / 105
Break-even point in units= 7,728 units
At an open house the listing agent begins giving advice to a prospective buyer regarding how much to offer for the house, without explaining that she is a representative of the sellers. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
a. the agent is not acting in accordance with her agency status
b. the agent is acting as an undisclosed dual agent
c. the agent has breached fiduciary duties to both parties
d. the agent has not violated any duties, because she is not performing real estate services for the buyers
Answer:
d. The agent has not violated any duties, because she is not performing real estate services for the buyers
Explanation:
Here, at the open house, the agent, without proper introduction and without explaining that she represents the seller, started giving advice to a prospective buyer regarding the amount to offer for the house. By offering advice to the buyer and not disclosing who she represents, the agent is now acting as an undisclosed dual agent, also she has breached the loyalty duties to both parties. The agent is also not acting in accordance with her agency status.
Therefore the incorrect option is option D.) The agent has not violated any duties, because she is not performing real estate services for the buyers
A company wants to determine its reorder point (R). Demand is variable and they want to build a safety stock into R. The company wants to have a service level of 95 percent. If average daily demand is 8, lead time is 3 days and the standard deviation of demand during lead time is 2, what is the desired value of R
Answer: 27.28 units
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that a company wants to determine its reorder point (R) and that demand is variable and they want to build a safety stock into R. We have also been given the information that the company wants to have a service level of 95 percent and that average daily demand is 8, lead time is 3 days and the standard deviation of demand during lead time is 2.
It should be noted that a service level of 95% will have a desired z score of 1.64. To get the desired value of R, we multiply the average daily demand by the number of the days in lead time and then add to the multiplication between the standard deviation during the lead time and the desired z score. Mathematically, this will be expressed as:
= (8 × 3) + (2 × 1.64)
= 24 + 3.28
= 27.28
Therefore, the desired value of R = 27.28 units

What provision in an independent contractor agreement states the associate will not hold the broker responsible for claims, demands, suits, costs or expenses based on the associates representation of the agreement
What provision in an independent contractor agreement states the associate will not hold the broker responsible for claims, demands, suits, costs or expenses based on the associates' representation of the agreement?
A) Disputes and Litigation
B) Termination of Agreement
C) Indemnification
D) Regulatory Compliance
Answer:
The correct option is C) Indemnification Clause
Explanation:
This simply means that if the associate is found liable by a third-party due to errors and omissions or any action of tort, the principal or the broker, will not be vicariously held liable.
This clause may seem unfair given that for the most part of the relationship, the associate and the broker are bound by similar interests. However, sometimes one party may become self-focused, and this results in errors which translate to lawsuits.
This clause is a way of protecting the Broker. It is also implied that the associate will also enjoy immunity from any costs and damages which the broke may be held liable to.
Cheers!

A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $100,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $475,000. If the company requires a MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk, determine if it should invest in the new product line. Use the AW method. (Sullivan, 20180327, p. 234) Sullivan, W.

Answer:
$327,909.14
Explanation:
Calculation to determine if it should invest in the new product line.
First step
The Investment cost will be:
Land costs $300,000
Building costs $600,000
Equipment costs $250,000
Additional working capital $100,000
=$1,250,000
Annual revenue $750,000
Annual expenses$475,000
Market value:
$400,000 +$350,000 + $50,000 = $80,0000
N: 10 year
MARR: 15% per year
Using PW method
-$1250000 + ($750,000 – $475,000) (P/A, 15%, 10) +$ 80000(P/F, 15%, 10)
-$1250000-$275,000((1+15)^¹⁰−1/15(1+15)^¹⁰+$3000
Hence,
=-$1,250,000 – $275,000(5.0188) + $3000(0.2472)
= $327,909.14
The Monster Truck operates several specialty vehicles that provide hot food and beverages for firms that have workers employed in outlying regions. The company has annual sales of $627,200. Cost of goods sold average 38 percent of sales and the profit margin is 5.1 percent. The average accounts receivable balance is $35,300. On average, how long does it take the company to collect payment for its services
Answer:
The answer is 20.55 days
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Annual sales =$627,200
Average accounts receivable =$35,300
Now
The accounts turnover ratio (receivable) = Sales/Average accounts receivable
Accounts receivable turnover ratio = $627,200/$35.300
=17.76 times
Thus
Number of days payment receives = 365/ Accounts receivable turnover ratio =365 days/17.76 times
=20.55 days
Therefore The company takes 20.55 days to get payment for its services
