Answer:
Ending inventory= $110,000
COGS= $100,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory=2,000 units for $10 per unit.
Purchases:
June 30, 2019= 5,000 units at cost of $20 per unit.
September 30, 2019= 3,000 units for $30 per unit.
On December 1, 2019 the company sold 6,000 units.
Using the FIFO (first-in; first-out) inventory method, the value of ending inventory is calculated using the cost of the last units incorporated into inventory.
Ending inventory in units= 10,000 - 6,000= 4,000
Ending inventory= 3,000*30 + 1,000*20= $110,000
COGS= 2,000*10 + 4,000*20= $100,000

Patricia Nall was approved for a $3,000, two-year, 11 percent loan with the finance charges figured using the discount method. How much cash will Patricia receive from this loan?
Answer:
$2,340
Explanation:
The computation of cash received from this loan is shown below:-
cash received from this loan = Approved amount - (Approved amount × Two year × Percentage of loan )
= Approved amount - ($3,000 × 2 × 11% )
= $3,000 - ($3,000 × 2 × 0.11 )
= $3,000 - $660
= $2,340
Therefore, for computing the cash will Patricia receive from this loan we simply applied the above formula.
You are considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both projects have an initial cost of $52,000. Project A produces cash inflows of $25,300, $37100, and $22,000 for years 1 through 3, respectively. Project B produces cash inflows of $43,600, $19,800 and $10,400 for years 1 through 3, respectively. The required rate of return is 14.2 percent for Project A and 13.9 percent for Project B. Which project should you accept and why? a) Project A because it has the higher required rate of return b) Project A because it has the larger NPV c) Project 8, because it has the largest cash inflow in year 1. d) Project B; because it has the lower required rate of return
Answer:
b) Project A because it has the larger 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
Project A
Cash flow in year 0 = $-52,000
Cash flow in year 1= $25,300,
Cash flow in year 2 = $37100
Cash flow in year 3= $22,000
I = 14.2
NPV = $13,372.95
Project B
Cash flow in year 0 = $-52,000
Cash flow in year 1= $43,600
Cash flow in year 2 =, $19,800
Cash flow in year 3= $10,400
I = 13.9
NPV = $8,579.62
The NPV of project A is larger than that of project B, so, project A is more suitable
"The nature and purpose of the public sector result in a unique organizational characteristics". Discuss
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question is incomplete because it does not provide the location, country, or any other further reference, we can say the following.
The nature and purpose of the public sector result in unique organizational characteristics, basically in the formation of bureaucracies that are a form of governmental and administrative organizations with many employees and hierarchies that more that improve management and operations, complicate it and make it slow due to the fact that the number of people working is numerous.
Experts say that this is not the more efficient and effective form of managing governmental offices. On the contrary, it is slow and inefficient.
According to the expenditure approach, if Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government purchases, and NX is net exports, the national income identity can be written as:
Answer:
The answer is Y = C + I + G + NX
Explanation:
National income can be represented as: Y = C + I + G + NX
where Y is the national income
C is the consumers' consumption or households' expenses on goods and services
I is the firms' investment. Investment done by businesses on procuring non-current assets used in production
G is the government expenditure.
NX is the net export. Net export is the difference between the total value of export and total value of import in a year.
Telecom Company is preparing its annual budgeted income statement. What is the best place to locate the amount of interest expense for the year
Answer: d. Cash Budget
Explanation:
The Cash budget is used to project the company's expected position in terms of the cash it holds in the future. As such, the budget contains both cash receipts and cash disbursements.
Some of the disbursements include expenses and loan payments. The loan payments are where the interest expense will be found for the coming year.
Barnes Company purchased $58,000 of 10.0% bonds at par. The bonds mature in six years and are a held-to-maturity security. Which of the following is the correct journal entry to record the receipt of the semiannual interest payment?
a) debit Unrealized Gain-Equity, $2,900; credit Cash, $2,900.
b) debt Cash, $2,900; credit Long-Term Investments-HTM, $2,900.
c) debit Cash, $2,900; credit Interest Revenue, $2,900.
d) debit Cash, $5,800; credit Unrealized Gain-Equity, $5,800.
e) debit Cash, $5,800; credit Long-Term Investments-HTM, $5,800.
Answer:
Option B,debt Cash, $2,900; credit Long-Term Investments-HTM, $2,900,is correct
Explanation:
Semiannual interest on the bond can be computed using the below semiannual interest formula:
semiannual interest=face value*coupon rate*6/12
face value is $58000
The coupon rate is 10%
semiannual interest=$58000*10%*6/12=$2900
The receipt of $2900 semiannual interest would be debited to cash while also being credited to Long-Term investments-HTM
Which senior managers may assume a greater deal of transferability between domestic and international HRM practices?
Answer: d. All of the Above
Explanation:
All the above senior managers are more likely to apply more Domestic HRM practices to make them International HRM practices when they are put into a situation where International practices will be needed.
This is because they have been with the Domestic companies for much of their time and so know more about Domestic practices than international.
The first options refers to senior managers in firms with large domestic markets. To be a senior manager demands experience in the market they are in so it is not far fetched to say that they are more knowledgeable in domestic practices than international.
The second option speaks of managers with little International experience meaning they are more likely to engage in transferability between domestic and International practices.
The third option speaks of managers who built their careers on domestic experience. They will find it hard letting go of what has brought them such success so will more likely apply domestic practices on an international scale.
Suppose that JB Cos. has a capital structure of 75 percent equity, 25 percent debt, and that its before-tax cost of debt is 14 percent while its cost of equity is 18 percent. Assume the appropriate weighted-average tax rate is 25 percent.
What will be JBâs WACC? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
WACC ______ %
Answer:
16.13%
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted cost of capital (WACC) is shown below:
As we know that
WACC is
= weight of equity × cost of equity + weight of debt × before cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)
= 0.75 × 18% + 0.25 × 14% × (1 - 0.25)
= 13.5% + 2.625%
= 16.13%
We simply applied the above formula so that the WACC could be arrive
Why would a large publically traded corporation likely prefer issuing bonds as a way to raise new money as opposed to issuing more shares
Answer: B. more shares will dilute the existing value of the stock, causing its market price to fall
Explanation:
The company is already Publicly traded. If it were to issue more stock it would increased the amount of stock it has in the market which will lead to the prices reducing from a high amount of supply.
Companies generally do not want their stock prices to decrease as it sends negative signals to investors as well as the fact that management's role is to try to increase Shareholder wealth.
They will therefore rather issue bonds than risk their stock prices reducing in price.
Bailand Company purchased a building for $286,000 that had an estimated residual value of $6,000 and an estimated service life of 10 years. Bailand purchased the building 4 years ago and has used straight-line depreciation. At the beginning of the fifth year (before it records depreciation expense for the year), the following independent situations occur:
1. Bailand estimates that the asset has 8 years’ life remaining (for a total of 12 years).
2. Bailand changes to the sum-of-the-years’-digits method.
3. Bailand discovers that the estimated residual value has been ignored in the computation of depreciation expense.
Required: For each of the independent situations, prepare all the journal entries relating to the building for the fifth year. Ignore income taxes.
Answer:
Bailand Company
Journal Entries:
1. Re-estimated useful life to 8 years (12 in total):
Debit Depreciation Expense $21,000
Credit Accumulated Depreciation $21,000
To record depreciation expense for the year.
2. Sum of the digit method:
Debit Depreciation Expense $37,333
Credit Accumulated Depreciation $37,333
To record depreciation expense for the year.
3. Bailand discovers that the estimated residual value had been ignored:
Debit Depreciation Expense $27,600
Credit Accumulated Depreciation $27,600
To record depreciation expense for the year.
Explanation:
A) Calculations:
Building $286,000
Residual value = $6,000
Depreciable amount = $280,000 ($286,000 = 6,000)
Straight-line Depreciation per year = $28,000 ($280,000/10)
Accumulated Depreciation after 4 years = $112,000 ($28,000 x 4)
Book value after 4 years = $174,000
Independent situations:
1. Bailand estimates that the asset has 8 years’ life remaining (for a total of 12 years).
Book Value = $174,000
Residual value = $6,000
Depreciable amount = $168,000
Remaining Lifespan = 8 years
Depreciation expense each year = $21,000
2. Bailand changes to the sum-of-the-years’-digits method.
8/36 x $168,000 = $37,333 for fifth year.
7/36 x $168,000 for the sixth year
6/36 x $168,000 for the seventh year, and so forth
B) The Sum-of-the-years'-digits (SYD) is an accelerated method for calculating an asset's depreciation. For each year, there is a digit reflecting the number of years remaining. This digit is then divided by this sum of the years to determine the percentage by which the asset should be depreciated each year, starting with the highest number in the first year of application.
3. Bailand discovers that the estimated residual value has been ignored in the computation of depreciation expense.
Determination of annual depreciation expenses:
Depreciable amount = $286,000
Depreciation expense per year = $28,600 ($286,000/10)
After four years, Accumulated Depreciation = $114,400 ($28,600 x4)
Book Value = $171,600 ($286,000 - 114,000)
less salvage value $6,000
Depreciable amount = $165,600
Depreciation expense each year = $27,600 ($165,600 / 6)
For each of the following, compute the present value (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)): Present Value Years Interest Rate Future value $ 13 7 % $ 15,451 4 13 51,557 29 14 886,073 40 9 550,164
Answer:
To calculate these values, we use the present value formula:
FV = PV (1 + i)^n
Where:
FV = Future ValuePV = Present Valuei = interest raten = number of compounding periods (years in this case)Present value #1
15,451 = PV (1 + 0.07)^13
15,451 = PV (2.41)
15,451 / 2.41 = 6,411
Present value #2
51,557 = PV (1 + 0.13)^4
51,557 = PV (1.63)
51,557 / 1.63 = 33,471
Present value #3
886,073 = PV (1 + 0.14)^29
886,073 = PV (44.69)
886,073 / 44.69 = 19,827
Present value #4
550,164 = PV (1 + 0.09)^40
550,164 = PV (31.41)
550,164 / 31.41 = 17,516
Beatrice invests $1,360 in an account that pays 3 percent simple interest. How much more could she have earned over a 4-year period if the interest had been compounded annually
Answer:
If the interest was compounded annually, the amount that would have been earned more over the simple interest method is $7.49
Explanation:
A simple interest account pays interest on only the sum deposited at an annual rate for a specified period of time while a compounding interest account adds the interest earned in each period to the principal amount and calculate the interest for the next period on this new amount (Principal + Accumulated Interest).
The formula to calculate interest under simple interest method is,
Interest = Principal * Annual Rate * Time in years
Total Interest earned = 1360 * 3% * 4
Total interest earned = 163.2
The formula to calculate interest under compound interest method is,
Interest = [Principal * (1+i)^t] - Principal
Where,
i is the interest ratet is the number of periodsInterest = 1360 * (1+0.03)^4 - 1360
Interest = 170.6919 rounded off to $170.69
If the interest was compounded annually, the amount that would have been earned more over the simple interest method is,
Extra amount = 170.69 - 163.2
Extra amount = $7.49
What is the price of a perpetual bond that pays a $45 per year into perpetuity, and has a 3.5% yield to maturity (YTM)
Answer:
Price =$1,285.71
Explanation:
A perpetual bond is that which pays a fixed amount of interest income for the foreseeable future. It issuer does not always have an obligation for redemption under the terms of loan contract.
The price of perpetual bond can be determined as the present value of a perpetuity. An perpetuity is an annuity that pays a fixed amount of cash flow for a certain number of years
PV = A/r
PV- price of bond- ?
A- annual interest - 45
r- Yield to maturity- 3.5%
Price = 45/0.035=1,285.714
Price =$1,285.71
DeKay Dental Supplies issued $10,000 of bonds on January 1, 2018. The bonds pay interest semiannually. This is a partial bond amortization schedule for the bonds Effective Decrease in Outstanding Payment Cash interest balance 400 400 400 400 409 409 409 410 balance 9,080 9,089 9,098 9,107 9,117 10 What is the stated annual rate of interest on the bonds?
a) 4.5%.
b) 9.0%.
c) 40%.
d) 80%.
Answer: d. 8.0%
Explanation:
The Stated Annual Rate of Interest on a bond refers to the coupon rate which is the amount that the company promises to pay on the bond pay period.
Looking at the question, the company is paying $400 every 6 months on the $10,000 bonds . The interest therefore is;
= 400/10,000
= 4%
Company pays 4% on the bonds every 6 months.
This 4% should be stated in annual terms so;
= 4% * 2
= 8%.
Diane Manufacturing Company is considering investing $500,000 in new equipment with an estimated useful life of 10 years and no salvage value. The equipment is expected to produce $320,000 in cash inflows and $200,000 in cash outflows annually. The company uses straight-line depreciation, and has a 30% tax rate. Diane Manufacturing desired rate of return on this project is 10%. Net cash flows for years 1 through 10 (99,000 X present value of $1 annuity factor) round to nearest dollar A. 120000 Recovery of investment in working capital (500,000 x (present value of $1 factor) B. Present Value of net cash flows C. Initial cash outlay500,000 Net Present Value
Answer:
net income per year = $49,000
annual cash flows = $99,000
NPV = $108,315.40
payback period = 5.05 years
accounting rate of return = 19.6%
Explanation:
annual cash flow = [($320,000 - $200,000 - $50,000) x 0.7] + $50,000 = $99,000
NPV = -$500,000 + [$99,000 x 6.1446 (PV annuity, 10%, 10 periods)] = -$500,000 + $608,315.40 = $108,315.40
payback period = $500,000 / $99,000 = 5.05 years
accounting rate of return = net income per year / average investment = $49,000 / [($500,000 + $0)/2] = $49,000 / $250,000 = 19.6%
A corporation has 44,904 shares of $26 par value stock outstanding that has a current market value of $238 per share. If the corporation issues a 5-for-1 stock split, determine the number of shares outstanding. Select the correct answer. 583,752 8,981 224,520 44,904
Answer: 224,520
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that a corporation has 44,904 shares of $26 par value stock outstanding that has a current market value of $238 per share and that the corporation issues a 5-for-1 stock split. The number of shares outstanding goes thus:
Shares outstanding = 44,904 shares
We are also told that the corporation issues a 5-for-1 stock split. Therefore, the new shares will be:
= 44,904 × 5
= 224,520 shares
If the corporation issues a 5-for-1 stock split, the number of shares outstanding will be 224,520.
You have just sold your house for $ 1 comma 000 comma 000 in cash. Your mortgage was originally a 30-year mortgage with monthly payments and an initial balance of $ 800 comma 000. The mortgage is currently exactly 18½ years old, and you have just made a payment. If the interest rate on the mortgage is 5.25 % (APR), how much cash will you have from the sale once you pay off the mortgage? g
Answer:
cash received = $510194.55
Explanation:
given data
sold your house = $1000000
time t = 30 year = 360 month
initial balance P = $800,000
mortgage currently exactly = 18½ years = 138 months
interest rate r = 5.25 % = 0.525% per month
solution
first, we will get monthly loan payment is express as
C = P ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{r} \times (1-\frac{1}{(1+r)^n})[/tex] ...............1
Put here values
C = 800,000 ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{.00525} \times (1-\frac{1}{(1+0.00525)^{360}})[/tex]
C = $ 4951.78
so that monthly payment is $ 4951.78
and
Balance after the 18.5 years will be
Balance = $ 4951.78 × [tex]\frac{1}{0.00525}[/tex] × [tex](1-\frac{1}{1.00525^{138}})[/tex]
Balance after 18.5 year = $ 485287.64
Balance after 18.5 year = $489805.45
but here we received here $1000,000 excess cash received is
so
cash received = 1000,000 - 489805.45
cash received = $510194.55

Clemens Inc. is considering a $100 million investment in a new line of soft drinks. However, $100 million is a huge investment for Clemens; if things turn bad, it could wipe out the company. A few senior managers have suggested
Answer: expand
Explanation:
Here's the complete question:
Clemens Inc. is considering a $100 million investment in a new line of soft drinks. However, $100 million is a huge investment for Clemens; if things turn bad, it could wipe out the company. A few senior managers have suggested a smaller investment of $20 million to see if the market is as strong as they hope it is. If demand is strong and the opportunity is still available, Clemens will increase its investment at a later date. This example describes a real option to:
a. abandon
b. expand
An expansion option is an option that gives the company that bought a real option, the right to take part in certain actions, and to also expand its operations in the future even with little or no cost. In real estate, this option gives opportunities to the tenants to increase the space of the premises where they live.
This is the idea portrayed in the question when few senior managers suggested a smaller investment of $20 million should be made at first and when the demand is strong and the opportunity is still available, Clemens will increase its investment at a later date.

b. Illustrate the effect on the accounts and financial statements of the factory labor costs transferred in.
Answer:
Work in process = $70649
Factory overhead = 21,352
Explanation:
A.
Factory labor cost transferred to Work in process is the sum of all direct labor cost incurred
Factory labor cost transferred to Factory Overhead is the sum of all indirect labor cost incurred
Work in Process = $6,829 + $3,438 + $11,273 + $9,106 + $9,891 + $12,638 + $17,474
Work in process = $70649
Factory overhead = 21,352
B.

A divorced woman with 2 young children has just re-entered the workforce part time and earns $3,000 from this work. She collects another $2,400 per year in alimony payments. The woman wishes to make a contribution to an Individual Retirement Account this year. Which statement is TRUE
Which statement is TRUE
A. No contribution can be made because the woman received alimony payments
B. A contribution can be made based only on the income earned from part-time work
C. A contribution can be made based only on the alimony payments received
D. A contribution can be made based on both the earned income from part-time work and the alimony payments received
Answer:
B. A contribution can be made based only on the income earned from part-time work
Explanation:
According to Individual Retirement Account regulations, contribution can only be made base on earned income and not a court-mandated allowance made to a former spouse by a divorced or legally separated person otherwise known as "Alimony". Alimony is just a means to support life and not a earned income. So, contribution can be made based only on the income earned from part-time work.
True or False? Financial instruments can be grouped by time to maturity (money vs. capital) or type of obligation (stock, bond, derivative).
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Financial Instruments are agreements pertaining to the exchange of money between parties. The financial instruments could be in the form of cash or the right bound by contractual laws to receive or deliver items with monetary value. Shares, bonds, loans, and derivatives like futures and forwards are other examples of financial instruments. These financial derivates are securities whose prices are hinged on underlying assets like bonds, stocks, commodities, and currencies. Cash instruments, on the other hand, have their prices determined mainly by the market fluctuations.
Classification of financial instruments could be based on the asset or debt classes. The debt classification could also be broken down as being long or short term. So, the grouping by time to maturity (money vs. capital) or type of obligation (stock, bond, derivative) is a system of classifying financial instruments.
Suppose that the risk-free rates in the United States and in the United Kingdom are 4% and 6%, respectively. The spot exchange rate between the dollar and the pound is $1.60/BP. What should the futures price of the pound for a one-year contract be to prevent arbitrage opportunities, ignoring transactions costs
Answer:
The futures price of the pound for a one-year contract be to prevent arbitrage opportunities would be $1.63/BP.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the the futures price of the pound for a one-year contract be to prevent arbitrage opportunities we would have to make the following calculation:
futures price of the pound for a one-year contract=Spot rate*(1+United Kingdom risk free rate)/(1+United States risk free rate)
futures price of the pound for a one-year contract=$1.60/BP*(1+6%)/(1+4%)
futures price of the pound for a one-year contract=$1.63/BP
The futures price of the pound for a one-year contract be to prevent arbitrage opportunities would be $1.63/BP.
You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 18% and a standard deviation of 28%. The T-bill rate is 8%. Your client chooses to invest 70% of a portfolio in your fund and 30% in a T-bill money market fund. Suppose that your risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions: Stock A 25 % Stock B 32 % Stock C 43 % What are the investment proportions of your client’s overall portfolio, including the position in T-bills?
Answer:
Stock A: 20%
Stock B: 25.6%
Stock C: 34.4%
Explanation:
Calculation for the investment proportions of your client's overall portfolio, including the position in T-bills
Based on the information given the T-bill rate is 8% which means we are going to multiply each stock Investments by 8%
Stock A 25%
Stock B 32%
Stock C 43%
Hence
Stock A: .25*.8= 20%
Stock B: .32*.8= 25.6%
Stock C: .43*.8= 34.4%
Therefore the investment proportions of your client's overall portfolio, including the position in T-bills will be :
Stock A: 20%
Stock B: 25.6%
Stock C: 34.4%

Explanation:
J.C Coats Inc. carefully develops standards for its coat making operation. Its specifications call for 2 square yards of wool per coat. The budgeted price of wool is $50 per square yard. The actual price for the wool was $38 and the usage was only 1.6 yards of wool per coat. What would be the standard cost per output for the wool?
Answer:
$100 per coat
Explanation:
Standard ;
Wool required = 2 yard square per coat
Budgeted price = $50 per square yard
Therefore,
We will need to multiply the total direct material quantity per unit for its unitary cost in order to arrive at the standard cost per unit.
Total standard cost per coat = Wool per coat × Cost per square yard,
= 2 × $50
= $100 per coat
