Paradise Corporation budgets on an annual basis for its fiscal year. The following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are planned for next year.Beginning Inventory Ending InventoryRaw material* 41,000 51,000Finished goods 81,000 51,000* Three pounds of raw material are needed to produce each unit of finished product.If Paradise Corporation plans to sell 485,000 units during next year, the number of units it would have to manufacture during the year would be:
Answer:
Production= 455,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning Inventory= 81,000
Ending Inventory= 51,000
Sales= 485,000
To calculate the production required for the period, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 485,000 + 51,000 - 81,000
Production= 455,000 units
Your job pays you only once a year for all the work you did over the previous 12 months. Today, December 31, you just received your salary of $58,000 and you plan to spend all of it. However, you want to start saving for retirement beginning next year. You have decided that one year from today you will begin depositing 3 percent of your annual salary in an account that will earn 11 percent per year. Your salary will increase at 6 percent per year throughout your career.
Required: How much money will you have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today?
Answer:
The amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the formula for calculating the future value of growing annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n) / (r - g)) ...................................... (1)
Where
FV = Future value or the amount on the date of retirement = ?
M = First annual deposit = Annual salary * Deposit percentage = $58,000 * 3% = $1,740
r = annual interest rate = 11%, or 0.11
g = salary growth rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of years = 40 years
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,740 * (((1 + 0.11)^40 - (1 + 0.06)^40) / (0.11 - 0.06))
FV = $1,740 * 1,094.30298736951
FV = $1,904,087.20
Therefore, the amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.

Here is the income statement for Teal Mountain Inc.
TEAL MOUNTAIN INC.
Income Statement
For the Year Ended December 31, 2017
Sales revenue $402,900
Cost of goods sold 256,700
Gross profit 146,200
Expenses (including $ 10,200 interest and $29,600 income taxes) 89,200
Net income $57,000
Additional information:
1. Common stock outstanding January 1, 2017, was 30,000 shares, and 39,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2017.
2. The market price of Teal Mountain stock was $15 in 2017.
3. Cash dividends of $24,700 were paid, $ 6,500 of which were to preferred stockholders.
Compute the following measures for 2017.
(a) Earnings per share $_____
(b) Price-earnings ratio _____ times
(c) Payout ratio _____ %
(d) Times interest earned _____ times
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. The earnings per share would be calculated as;
Earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred stock dividend) / Average number of common shares outstanding
But
Weighted average number of common shares = (Number of common shares outstanding in the beginning + Number of common shares outstanding at then end) / 2
= (30,000 + 39,000) / 2
= 34,500
Preferred stock dividend = 6,500
Therefore,
Earnings per share = ($57,000 - $6,500) / 34,500
= $50,500 / 34,500
= $1.46
b. Price earnings ratio
= Market price per share / Earning per share
= $15 / $1.46
= 10.27 times
c. The payout ratio
= (Total cash dividends - Preferred stock dividends) / Net income
= ($24,700 - $6,500) / $57,000
= $18,200 / $57,00)
= 31.93%
d. Times interest
= ( Net income + Interest expense + Tax expense) / Interest expense.
= $57,000 + $10,200 + $29,600) / $10,200
= $96,800 / $10,200
= 9.49 times
Apple Inc. just paid a dividend of $3 per share. You expect that Apple's dividend will increase at the rate of 10% per year for the next 10 years. After that, you expect that Apple Inc. will increase its dividend at the rate of 3% per year forever. The required rate of return for Apple is 20%. What is the price of Apple just after the current dividend was paid?
Answer:
The price of Apple just after the current dividend was paid is $26.79.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached file for the calculation of present values for year 1 to 10 dividends.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Previous year dividend in year 1 = Dividend just paid = $3
Total of dividends from year 1 to year 10 = $19.17617169980840
Year 10 dividend = $7.781227380
Therefore, we have:
Year 11 dividend = Year 10 dividend * (100% + Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $7.781227380 * (100% + 3%) = $8.0146642014
Price at year 10 = Year 11 dividend / (Rate of return - Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $8.0146642014 / (20% - 3%) = $47.1450835376471
PV of price at year 10 = Price at year 10 / (100% + Required return)^Number of years = $47.1450835376471 / (100% + 20%)^10 = $7.61419419713817
Price of Apple = Total of dividends from year 1 to year 8 + PV of price at year 10 = $19.17617169980840 + $7.61419419713817 = $26.79
A callable bond:
A. Is generally call protected during the entire term of the bond issue,
B. generally will have a call protection period during the final three years prior to maturity.
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
D. is prohibited from having a sinking fund also.
E. Is frequently called at a price that is less than par value
Answer:
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
Explanation:
A callable bond is also called a redeemable bond. It a debt instrument that the issuer may decide to call or redeem before the maturity date.
This is used by bond issuers to have a cheaper cost of borrowing funds.
For example when interests are low the issuer can buy back his bonds at a lower cost this reducing his debt burden.
So callable bonds are structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call or redemption.
You are the VP of Marketing at Stauffer Foods and you learn that the puddings packaged desserts line from General Foods (GF) is available for acquisition. This division produces successful products like Pudding Pops, Instant Pudding, and Pudding in a Cup. You make some of assumptions about this line. Which assumption would you not make
Answer: purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods
Explanation:
The options include:
a. purchasing the line would bring established distribution for Stauffer Foods.
b. purchasing the line would add equity value to Stauffer Foods.
c. All would be reasonable assumptions to make.
d. purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods
e. purchasing the line could create some difficulties in dealing with debt load.
The assumption that shouldn't be made is that purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods.
When a product is acquired, one should not expect immediate profit or cash flow instantly. Purchasing the line would not bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods because it's a gradual process even though there may eventually be cash flow and profit in the long run.
All the other options that re given are correct, therefore the correct option is D.
When Valley Co. acquired 80% of the common stock of Coleman Corp., Coleman owned land with a book value of $75,000 and a fair value of $125,000. What is the amount of excess land allocation attributed to the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
The amount of excess land allocation attributed to the non controlling interest at the acquisition date is computed below;
Non controlling interest of acquisition date
= (Book value of land - Fair value of land) × 20%
Given that;
Book value of land = $125,000
Fair value of land = $75,000
Then,
Non controlling interest of acquisition date
= ($125,000 - $75,000) × 20%
= $50,000 × 20%
= $10,000
The expected return on a portfolio: Group of answer choices can be greater than the expected return on the best performing security in the portfolio. can be less than the expected return on the worst performing security in the portfolio. is independent of the performance of the overall economy. is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio. is an arithmetic average of the returns of the individual securities when the weights of those securities are unequal.
Answer:
is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio
Explanation:
Portfolio is simply defined as a list of securities showing how much is (or will be) invested in each of them.
The expected return on a portfolio is calculated as the weighted average of the expected returns on the securities that the portfolio involves. The weight of each security is the a Portion or a fraction of wealth invested in that security. Expected return on a portfolio of N securities is: rp= sum (Xr).
Expected Return is usually based on anticipated income and anticipated capital appreciation.
Imagine a hypothetical economy with a population of 100 people, 80 of which over sixteen. Forty eight of these people who are working and twelve people who are willing, able and looking for work cannot find jobs. The unemployment rate in this economy is____________ % (enter percentage as a whole number, not a decimal, no percentage sign). S
Suppose that 10 of those unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work. Now, the unemployment rate is __________% (enter percentage as a whole number, not a decimal, no percentage sign).
Answer:
a) unemployment rate = 15
b) unemployment rate = 2.5
Explanation:
unemployed people are those who are willing and available to work and have actively been seeking a job in the past four weeks. This accurately describes the 12 people who are willing, able and looking for work but cannot find jobs. To calculate the unemployment rate in percentage, the following formula is used:
[tex]unemployment\ rate = \frac{number\ of\ unemployed}{labour\ force} \times 100\\[/tex]
Where:
a) Number of unemployed = 12
Labour force = 80 (number of people over 16 years of age)
[tex]\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{12}{80} \times 100 = 0.15 \times 100 = 15\\[/tex]
b) if 10 of the unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work, the number of unemployed becomes 2 persons, (12 - 10 = 2).
[tex]\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{2}{80} \times 100 = \frac{200}{80} = 2.5[/tex]
Assume that a state government currently provides no child-care subsidies to working single parents, but it now wants to adopt a plan that will encourage labor force participation among single parents. Suppose that child-care costs are hourly, and suppose the government adopts a child-care subsidy that pays $3 per hour for each hour the parent works, up to 8 hours per day. Draw a current budget constraint (net of child-care costs) for an assumed single mother and then draw in the new constraint. Discuss the likely effects on labor force participation and hours of work.
Answer:
The line on the graph will be parallel to the pre-subsidy line and the new constraint will then be equal to the points connecting the two lines.
Explanation:
The subsidy by government to single parents is $3 per hour for up to 8 hours. The total of subsidy will be $16 for each day. The labor force who were not receiving the subsidy before had steep indifference curve but now few workers will find utility maximization with flatter indifference curve so the workers will join the subsidy program.
Cynthia, a sole proprietor, was engaged in a service business and reported her income on the cash basis. On February 1, 2013, she incorporates her business as Dove Corporation and transfers the assets of the business to the corporation in return for all of the stock in addition to the corporation’s assumption of her proprietorship’s liabilities. All of the receivables and the unpaid trade payables are transferred to the newly formed corporation. The balance sheet of the corporation immediately after its formation is as follows:

Discuss the tax consequences of the incorporation of the business to Cynthia and to Dove Corporation.
Answer:
Cynthia and Dove CorporationAny profits generated by Dove Corporation will be taxed to the corporation and also taxed to Cynthia as a shareholder whenever Dove distributes the profits as dividends. Taxing Dove and Cynthia creates a double taxation burden for both Dove and Cynthia. Dove Corporation does not get a tax deduction when it distributes dividends to Cynthia. Furthermore, Cynthia cannot deduct any corporation loss when incurred. These are unlike when the business was only a sole proprietorship.

If The Wall Street Journal lists a stock's dividend as $1, then it is most likely the case that the stock: Multiple Choice pays $1 per share per quarter. paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year. paid $1 during the past quarter, with no future dividends forecast. is expected to pay a dividend of $1 per share at the end of next year.
Answer:
paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year
Explanation:
A stock is ownership rights purchased by investors in a public company. Holders of stock are called stockholders and they are regarded as owners of the company.
Stockholders are paid dividends. Dividends are a proportion of a company's profits paid to shareholders.
If the stock's dividend is $1, it means it either paid $1 the past year or paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years. b. We must have information on the cost of capital in order to determine which project has the larger early cash flows. c. The crossover rate, i.e., the rate at which Projects A and B have the same NPV, is greater than either project's IRR. d. The NPV profile graph is inconsistent with the statement made in the problem. e. More of Project B's cash flows occur in the later years.
Answer: a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years.
Explanation:
When a project has its cashflows occurring in later years, the NPV will be less because the discount rate would have a greater period to discount it in as opposed to cashflows that occur more recently which would receive less discounting from the discount rate.
As a result of Project A having more distant cashflows, the discount rate discounted its cash flows more which is why higher rates led to its NPV being zero because those higher rates got to discount it over a longer period.

b. Compute the deferred taxes at December 31, 2021, that relate to the temporary differences described above.
c. Prepare the journal entry to record income tax expense
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a. Taxable income for 2021.
Sage Company:
Computation of Taxable income and income tax for 2021
Pretax financial Income = $87000
Permanent differences:
Fine for Pollution = $3200
Interest revenue on municipal bonds = -$1500
Temporary differences:
Less: Excess of depreciation as per tax over books = -$26400
Add: Warranty expense in books higher than as per tax = $4700
Less: Gross profit as per books higher than as per tax on construction contracts = -$18200
Taxable Income = $48800
Income Tax (20%) = $9760
b. Deferred Taxes:
Deferred tax assets = $4700*20% = $940
Deferred tax liability = ($26,400 + $18,200) * 20% = $8920
c. Note: Journal Entries are attached in the attachment below.
8. Zelda owns a 50% general interest in YZ Partnership. At the beginning of the current year, the adjusted basis in her partnership interest was $95,000. In the current year, YZ generated a $110,000 business loss, earned $15,000 dividend and interest income on its investments and recognized a $7,000 capital gain. YZ also made a $5,000 distribution to Zelda. Compute Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year.
Answer:
$52,500
Explanation:
Computation for Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year.
Zelda’s adjusted basis=$95,000-(50%*$110,000)+(50%*$15,000)+$5,000
Zelda’s adjusted basis=$95,000-$55,000+$7,500+$5,000
Zelda’s adjusted basis= $52,500
Based on the information given we assumed 50% because Zelda is a 50% partner.
Therefore Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year will be $52,500
Setrakian Industries needs to raise $48.5 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 5.56 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 10 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.13 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds
Answer:
25,317 unit
Explanation:
Current price of bond = PV(Rate, Nper, Pmt, Fv)
Current price of bond = PV(6.13%/2, 10*2 ,5.56%/2*2000, 2000)
Current price of bond = $1,915.71
Number of bonds to issue = $48,500,000 / $1,915.71
Number of bonds to issue = 25316.98430
Number of bonds to issue = 25,317 unit
You want to have $3 million in real dollars in an account when you retire in 40 years. The nominal return on your investment is 10 percent and the inflation rate is 4.8 percent. What real amount must you deposit each year to achieve your goal
Answer:
Annual deposit= $23,647.9
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value (FV)= 3,000,000
Numer of periods (n)= 40 years
Nominal rate= 10%
Inflation rate= 4.8%
To simplify calculations, we will calculate the real interest rate by deducting from the nominal interest rate the inflation rate:
Real interest rate= 0.1 - 0.048
Real interest rate= 0.052
Now, to calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (3,000,000*0.052) / [(1.052^40) - 1]
A= $23,647.9
Illumination Corporation operates one central plant that has two divisions, the Flashlight Division and the Night Light Division. The following data apply to the coming budget year: Budgeted costs of operating the plant for 2000 to 3000 hours: Fixed operating costs per year $480,000 Variable operating costs $800 per hour Budgeted long-run usage per year: Flashlight Division 1500 hours Night Light Division 700 hours Practical capacity 3000 hours Assume that practical capacity is used to calculate the allocation rates. Actual usage for the year by the Flashlight Division was 1400 hours and by the Night Light Division was 600 hours. If a single-rate cost-allocation method is used, what amount of operating costs will be allocated to the Night Light Division
Answer:
Allocated operating costs= $576,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined operating costs allocation rate:
Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= total estimated operating costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= (480,000 / 3,000) + 800
Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= $960 per hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to Night Light Division:
Allocated operating costs= Predetermined operating costs allocation rate* Actual amount of allocation base

The Sandeep Company's April 30 pre-reconciliation cash balance on its books was $35,000. While preparing the April 30 bank reconciliation, Sandeep determined that outstanding checks total $11,000, deposits in transit total $7,000, and bank service charges are $50. Assuming there are no other reconciling items, what was Sandeep's April 30 cash balance per the bank statement
Answer: $38,950
Explanation:
The bank balance and the book cash balance might often be different for different reasons, one of which is due to the transactions recorded in the books not having been processed by the banks amongst others.
The books and bank balance will therefore need to be reconciled.
Balance per bank statement = Cash balance in books + Outstanding checks - Deposits in transit - Bank charges
= 35,000 + 11,000 - 7,000 - 50
= $38,950
Jack and Jill are the only two residents in a neighbourhood, and they would like to hire a security guard. The value of a security guard is $50 per month to Jack and $90 per month to Jill. Irrespective of who pays the guard, the guard will protect the entire neighbourhood and charge $120 per month for the service. Suppose Jack earns $4,000 per month and Jill earns $8,000 per month.
a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, how much would Jack and Jill pay, and would it be enough to pay for the security guard?
Jack would pay $ _____.
Jill would pay $ _____.
This tax _____ be enough to pay for the security guard.
b. Suppose instead that Jack proposes a payment scheme under which Jack and Jill would each receive the same net benefit from hiring the guard. How much would Jack and Jill pay now?
Jack would pay $ _____.
Jill would pay $ _____.
Would both Jack and Jill vote for this scheme? _____
Answer:
Jack and Jill
a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, it would be enough to pay for the security guard $120.
Jack would pay $ __40___.
Jill would pay $ __80___.
This tax _will____ be enough to pay for the security guard.
b. Based on net benefit from the guard:
Jack would pay $ __43___.
Jill would pay $ _ 77____.
Would both Jack and Jill vote for this scheme? __No___ Jack will feel cheated by Jill in the sum of $3. Jack will likely prefer the 1% based on income.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of a security guard for Jack = $50 per month
Value of a security guard for Jill = $90 per month
Total value of a security guard for both Jack and Jill = $140 ($50 + $90)
Cost of hiring a guard = $120 per month
Jack's monthly earnings = $4,000
Jill's monthly earnings = $8,000
Total monthly earnings for both Jack and Jill = $12,000
a. Proportional tax of 1 percent on income = $120 ($12,000 * 1%)
Jack will pay $4,000 * 1% = $40
Jill will pay $8,000 * 1% = $80
Total = $120
b. Net benefit scheme:
Jack will pay $50/$140 * $120 = $43
Jill will pay $90/$140 * $120 = $77
Total = $120

Testbank Multiple Choice Question 81 At the beginning of 2020, Sunland Company issued 8% bonds with a face value of $5700000. These bonds mature in the five years, and interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds were sold for $5259870 to yield 10%. Sunland uses a calendar-year reporting period. Using the effective-interest method of amortization, what amount of interest expense should be reported for 2020
Answer:
$527,737
Explanation:
The Bond Payment or Coupon always includes the Interest Portion and the the Capital Potion. The question only requires the Interest Portion of the Bond.
The Bond Parameters can be set as :
PV = - $5,259,870
FV = $5,700,000
PMT = ($5,700,000 x 8%) ÷ 2 = $228,000
N = 5 x 2 = 10
YTM = 10 %
P/YR = 2
Constructing an amortization schedule for 2020 gives :
Date Capital Portion Interest Balance
June 30 $34,994 $262,994 $5,294,864
Dec 30 $36,743 $264,743 $5,331,607
Total $71,737 $527,737 $5,331,607
therefore,
The amount of interest expense to be reported for 2020 is $527,737
The owners of Whitewater rafting are currently contemplating a manufacturing process (Old Process) that will require an investment of $4,000 and a variable cost of $6 per raft vs. a larger (New Process) initial investment of $20,000 with more automated equipment that would reduce their variable cost of manufacture to $2 per raft. Compare the two manufacturing processes proposed here. For what volume demand should each process be chosen?
A. From 0 to 1000 choose Old Process, From 1000 to infinity choose New Process
B. From 0 to 4000 choose New Process, From 4000 to infinity choose Old Process
C. From 0 to 4000 choose Old Process, From 4000 to infinity choose New Process
D. Always use the Old Process and never use the New Process
E Always use the New Process and never use the Old Process
Answer:
C. From 0 to 4000 choose Old Process, From 4000 to infinity choose New Process
Explanation:
Let the number of raft be denoted by Y
We are told that old process requires an investment of $4,000 and a variable cost of $6 per raft
Thus, old process cost is;
C_old = 4000 + 6Y
We are told that the new process has an investment of $20,000 and that the variable cost is $2 per raft..
Thus, new process cost is;
C_new = 20000 + 2Y
To find the volume demand by which each process will be chosen, we will equate both old and new costs to get;
4000 + 6Y = 20000 + 2Y
Rearranging, we have;
6Y - 2Y = 20000 - 4000
4Y = 16000
Y = 16000/4
Y = 4000
Thus, old process should be applied from 0 to 4000 and new process should be applied from 4000 to infinity.
Thus, option C is correct.
