E. Ursula is likely to prevail because an enforceable unilateral contract exists based on her provision of information leading to the capture of Victor.
Explanation:
A unilateral contract is in existence because safe bank has made an offer to pay $10,000. And in a unilateral contract when an offerer like safe bank makes an offer, the offer is accepted through actual performance which Ted has done through information Ursula provided. Therefore Ursula would prevail because unilateral contracts are enforceable by the law.

During the year, the Senbet Discount Tire Company had gross sales of $1.24 million. The company’s cost of goods sold and selling expenses were $593,000 and $246,000, respectively. The company also had notes payable of $850,000. These notes carried an interest rate of 5 percent. Depreciation was $123,000. The tax rate was 23 percent. a. What was the company’s net income? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 1,234,567.) b. What was the company’s operating cash flow? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
Net income= $139,755
Operating cash flow= $346,835
Explanation:
Senbet discount tire company has a gross sale of $1.24 million
The cost of goods sold is $593,000
The selling expense is $246,000
The company has a note payable of $850,000 with an interest rate of 5%
Depreciation is $123,000
Tax rate is 23%
(a) Inorder to calculate the tax expense the first step is to find the interest
Interest= debt×interest rate
= $850,000×5/100
= 850,000×0.05
= 42,500
Therefore, the net income can be calculated as follows
= (sales-cost of goods sold-selling expense-depreciation-interest)(1-tax rate)
=( $593,000-$246,000-$123,000-42,500)(1-0.23)
= 181,500×0.77
= $139,755
(b) Inorder to calculate the operating cash flow the first step is to find the tax expense
Tax expense= (gross sales-cost of goods sold-selling expense-depreciation-interest)× tax
($1,240,000-$593,000-$246,000-$123,000-42,500)×0.23
= $235,500×0.23
= $54,165
Therefore, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows
= gross sales-cost of goods sold-selling expense-depreciation-tax expense+depreciation
=$1,240,000-$593,000-$246,000-$123,000-$54,165+$123,000
= $346,835
Hence the net income is $139,755 and the operating cash flow is $346,835
DSO and accounts receivable Ingraham Inc. currently has $205,000 in accounts receivable, and its days sales outstanding is 71 days. It wants to reduce its DSO to 20 days by pressuring more of its customers to pay their bills on time. If this policy is adopted, the company's average sales will fall by 15%. What will be the level of accounts receivable following the change? Assume a 365- day year.
Answer:
$49,084.51
Explanation:
days of sales outstanding (DSO) = accounts receivable / average daily sales
71 days = $205,000 / (total sales / 365 days)
total sales / 365 days = $205,000 / 71 days
total sales = ($205,000 / 71 days) x 365 days = $1,053,873.24
after the change, annual sales will decrease by 15%:
$1,053,873.24 x (1 - 15%) = $895,792.25
average sales per day = $895,792.25 / 365 = $2,454.23 per day
new DSO = accounts receivable / average sales per day
20 days = accounts receivable / $2,454.23 per day
accounts receivable = $2,454.23 per day x 20 days = $49,084.51

The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.
This model would be applied as follows:
PV from year 1 to 3
Year Present Value ( PV)
1 1.25 × 1.275 × 1.1^(-1) = 1.4358
2 1.25 × 1.275^2 × 1.1^(-2) = 1.6492
3 1.25 × 1.275^3 × 1.1^(-3) = 1.894
Total 4.979
Year 4 and beyond
This will be done in two steps
Step 1
D× (1+g)/k-g
1.25 ×1.275^4/(0.11-0.06)
=66.066
Step 2
Present Value in year 0
=66.066 × 1.11^(-3) = 48.3068
Total present value = 4.979 + 48.306= 53.286
Price of stock today = $53.29
There are several bridges along highway 280 which are free to ride on. This bridge was built and is being maintained by the government... not the "free" market. Let's think about why that is the case... The economic logic of government ownership and having a marginal price of 0 (that is, it is free to cross the bridge) is:
Answer:
The bridge 's owner has a natural monopoly, and the marginal production cost (letting another car drive through it) is close to nil.
Explanation:
Since building several bridges to compete is inefficient, but building one bridge at a lower average cost to customers would be effective. If the private monopolist builds the bridge it can charge customers exceptionally high prices.
There is a high fixed cost involved with constructing a bridge. Hence constructing a bridge is a mere privilege. Furthermore, there is no extra cost to allow another car to cross the bridge. It means that the marginal cost is zero or closer.
Deb has found it very difficult to repay her loans. Because of these difficulties, the bank decided to forgive one of her most recent loans, an amount of $73,500. After the loan was discharged, Deb had total assets of $264,000 and her remaining loans totaled $255,000. What amount must Deb include in her gross income
Answer:
$9,000
Explanation:
Calculation of the amount that Deb must include in her gross income
Total assets $264,000 -Remaining loans $255,000 =$9,000
Therefore the amount that Deb must include in her gross income would be $9,000. Hence a discharge of indebtedness will not be taxable in a situation where the taxpayer is insolvent before and after the debt might have been forgiveness and in a situation where the the discharge of indebtedness tend to makes the taxpayer solvent, the taxpayer will tend ro recognizes the taxable income to the extent of his solvency.

Which of the following are restrictive covenants often used to protect the firm’s bond value and bondholder wealth? Check all that apply. Provisions that require firing the firm’s CEO whenever the firm’s bond price decreases by more than 15% Provisions that prohibit reducing the firm’s liquidity ratio below specified levels Provisions that prohibit the borrower from increasing debt ratios above specified levels Provisions that require issuing new debt securities whenever interest rates drop below 5%
Answer:
1. Provisions that prohibit reducing the firm’s liquidity ratio below specified levels.
2. Provisions that prohibit the borrower from increasing debt ratios above specified levels.
Explanation:
A bond refers to a fixed income instrument that signifies the indebtedness of the borrower to the bond issuer (investor or creditor). Basically, they are loans that are given to government or large corporations.
This simply means that, when a bondholder or creditor purchases a bond, an agreed amount of money is being borrowed to the bond issuer as a loan. As a result of the loan being borrowed, the bond issuer is required to pay an interest with a return of principal at maturity to the bondholder (investor or creditor).
A bond covenant can be defined as a standard and legally binding agreement between an investor or creditor (bondholder) and the issuer of a bond (bond issuer) in order to protect their respective interests. The bond covenant is classified into two (2) categories;
1. Positive or affirmative covenants: which states certain requirements that must be met by the bond issuer.
2. Negative or restrictive covenants: which states certain actions that are forbidden to the bond issuer.
The following are restrictive covenants often used to protect the firm’s bond value and bondholder wealth;
1. Provisions that prohibit reducing the firm’s liquidity ratio below specified levels.
2. Provisions that prohibit the borrower from increasing debt ratios above specified levels.
The restrictive covenants are written directly in the trust indenture or bond deed. Also note, the more the restrictive covenants that exists in a bond, the lower its interest rate because it makes the bond appear safer.

The current zero-coupon yield curve for risk-free bonds is as follows: Maturity (years) 1 2 3 4 5 YTM 5.05 % 5.49 % 5.78 % 5.93 % 6.09 % What is the price per $ 100 face value of a four-year, zero-coupon, risk-free bond?
Answer:
The answer is $79.42
Explanation:
Zero-coupon bonds does not make any periodic payments of interest. It pays both the interest and the face value at maturity.
N(Number of periods) = 4 years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 5.93 percent
PV(present value or market price) = ?
PMT( coupon payment) = 0
FV( Future value or par value) = $100
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 4; I/Y = 5.93; PMT = 0; FV= $100; CPT PV= -79.42
Therefore, the market price of the bond is $79.42
Barney Corporation recognized a $100 million preferred stock balance on 12/31/2019.
On January 1, 2020, Barney issued $10 million in preferred dividends.
On the same date, Barney raised an additional $20 million via a new issuance of preferred stock.

A stock has a beta of 1.29 and an expected return of 11.57 percent. If the risk-free rate is 4.4 percent, what is the stock's reward-to-risk ratio
Answer:
5.56%
Explanation:
the reward to risk ratio of this stock is:
reward to risk = (expected return - risk free rate) / beta
reward to risk = (11.57% - 4.4%) / 1.29 = 5.56%
The reward to risk ratio shows the investors how much extra money they should expect to earn for every dollar that they invest in a certain stock due to the stock's risk. A stock with a beta of 1 only carries the market risk, but since this stock's beta is 1.29, its risk is higher.

Answer:
Economic value added=$4,163.20
Explanation:
Calculatation for the economic value added assuming its cost of capital is 10 percent
The first step is to find the After-tax operating income using this formula
After-tax operating income = (1 - tax rate) * Interest expense + Net income
Where,
Tax rate=35%
Interest expense =$830
Net income=$6,345
Let plug in the formula
After-tax operating income=(1 - .35) *$830 + $6,345
After-tax operating income=0.65*$830×$6,345
After-tax operating income= $539.50+$6,345
After-tax operating income=$6,884.50
The next step is to find the Economic value added using this formula
Economic value added= Ater-tax operating income - (Cost of capital * Total capitalization)
Where,
Ater-tax operating income =$6,884.50
Cost of capital =10%
Total capitalization=$27,213
Let plug in the formula
Economic value added=$6,884.50 - (.10 * $27,213)
Economic value added=$6,884.50-$2,721.3
Economic value added=$4,163.20
Therefore the Economic value added assuming its cost of capital is 10% will be $4,163.20
A customer owns 400 shares of ABC stock. ABC is having a rights offering where 20 rights are needed to subscribe to 1 new share. How many new shares can the customer purchase through this rights offering
Answer:
20 new stocks
Explanation:
each stockholder should receive 1 right for every stock that he/she owns, so this particular investor owns 400 rights. Since he/she needs 20 rights to subscribe to 1 new stock, then the total number of stocks that he/she can buy = 400 / 20 = 20.
Many corporations hand out preemptive rights to their stockholders, which means that whenever new stocks are issued, they will be able to purchase them before any outside investor does.

The following data has been collected about Keller Company's stockholders' equity accounts: Common stock $10 par value 20,000 shares authorized and 10,000 shares issued, 9,000 shares outstanding $100,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock 50,000 Retained earnings 25,000 Treasury stock 11,500 Assuming the treasury shares were all purchased at the same price, the cost per share of the treasury stock is:______
Answer:
$11.5
Explanation:
The data that was gotten from Keller company stockholders equity account include:
Amount shares in common stock is 20,000 shares
The number of issued shares is 10,000
Number of outstanding shares is 9,000
The excess paid-in capital is $100,000
The common stock is 50,000
The retained earnings is 25,000
Treasury stock is 11,500
The first step is to calculate the amount of shares that was acquired in the treasury stock
= Number of issued shares-number of outstanding shares
= 10,000-9,000
= 1,000
Therefore, the cost per share of the stock in the treasury can be calculated as follows
= Treasury stock value/amount of shares acquired
= 11,500/1,000
= 11.5
Hence the cost per share of the treasury stock is $11.5

One of your customers has just made a purchase in the amount of $23,200. You have agreed to payments of $445 per month and will charge a monthly interest rate of 1.26 percent. How many months will it take for the account to be paid off?
Answer:
85.43 months
Explanation:
Purchase = $23,200
Payment per month = $445
Interest rate = 1.26%
Therefore the solution is:
$23,200 = $445[(1 − 1/1.0126^t) / .0126]
t = 85.43 months

Question:
A local mattress manufacturer wants to know if its manufacturing process is in or out of control and has hired you, a statistics expert in the field, to analyze its process. Specifically, the business has run 20 random samples of size 5 over the past month and has determined the mean of each sample.
95.72 95.44 95.4 95.5 95.56 95.72 95.6 95.24 95.46 95.44 95.8 95.2 94.82 95.78 95.18 95.32 95.08 95.22 95.04 95.48
a. Determine the estimate of the mean when the process is in control.
b. Assuming the process standard deviation is .50 and the mean of the process is the estimate calculated in Question 1, determine the Upper Control Limit (UCL) and the Lower Control Limit (LCL) for the manufacturing process.
c. Explain the results to the vice-president of the mattress manufacturer focusing on whether, based on the results, the process is in or out of control.
Answer:
[tex]Mean = \bar{x} = 95.4[/tex]
[tex](LCL, \: UCL) = (94.73, \: 96.07)[/tex]
The mean of the 20 random samples of size 5 over the past month lies between the obtained control limit of (94.73, 96.07) therefore, the process is in control.
Explanation:
a. Determine the estimate of the mean when the process is in control.
The mean is given by
[tex]Mean = \bar{x} = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
Where n = 20 samples
Using Excel,
=AVERAGE(number1, number2,....)
The mean is found to be
[tex]Mean = \bar{x} = 95.4[/tex]
b. Assuming the process standard deviation is .50 and the mean of the process is the estimate calculated in Question 1, determine the Upper Control Limit (UCL) and the Lower Control Limit (LCL) for the manufacturing process.
The Upper Control Limit (UCL) is given by
[tex]$ UCL = \bar{x} + \frac{3 \cdot s}{\sqrt{n} } $[/tex]
Where [tex]\bar{x}[/tex] is the mean, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of random samples that is 5 (not 20)
[tex]UCL = 95.4 + \frac{3 \times 0.50}{\sqrt{5} } \\\\UCL = 95.4 + 0.671 \\\\UCL = 96.07[/tex]
The Lower Control Limit (UCL) is given by
[tex]$ LCL = \bar{x} - \frac{3 \cdot s}{\sqrt{n} } $[/tex]
[tex]LCL = 95.4 - \frac{3 \times 0.50}{\sqrt{5} } \\\\LCL = 95.4 - 0.671 \\\\LCL = 94.73[/tex]
So the control limits are
[tex](LCL, \: UCL) = (94.73, \: 96.07)[/tex]
c. Explain the results to the vice-president of the mattress manufacturer focusing on whether, based on the results, the process is in or out of control.
The process is in control based on the obtained results.
The mean of the 20 random samples of size 5 over the past month lies between the obtained control limit of (94.73, 96.07) therefore, the process is in control.
Celia Inc. has two types of handbags: Standard and custom. The Controller has decided to use a plant-wide overhead rate based on direct labor costs. The president has heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were used Two activity cost pools were developed: Machining and Machine set-up. Presented below is information related to the company's operations
Standard Custom
Direct Labor cost 60,000 $ 12,000
Machine Hours 1,500 1,500
Set-up Hours 100 500
Total estimated overhead cost are $342,000. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $222,000 and $120,000 is allocated to the machine set-up activity cost pool
1. Calculate overhead allocated to each product using the traditional (Plant-wide) approach
2. Calculate overhead allocated to each product using the activity based costing approach
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard Custom
Direct Labor cost 60,000 $ 12,000
Machine Hours 1,500 1,500
Set-up Hours 100 500
The total estimated overhead costs are $342,000.
A. First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Total direct labor cost= $72,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 342,000/72,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $4.75 per direct labor dollar
Standard= 4.75*60,000= $285,000
Custom= 4.75*12,000= $57,000
B. Now, we need to calculate a predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Machining:
Total machine-hours= 3,000
Total overhead= 222,000
predetermined overhead rate= 222,000/3,000
predetermined overhead rate= $74 per machine-hour
Setup:
Total set-up hours= 600
Total overhead= 120,000
predetermined overhead rate= 120,000/600
predetermined overhead rate= $200 per set up-hour
Standard= 74*1,500 + 200*100= $131,000
Custom= 74*1,500 + 200*500= $211,000
At December 31, 2020 Sunland Company had 200000 shares of common stock and 10600 shares of 7%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock outstanding. No dividends were declared on either the preferred or common stock in 2020 or 2021. On February 10, 2022, prior to the issuance of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, Sunland declared a 100% stock dividend on its common stock. Net income for 2021 was $960000. In its 2021 financial statements, Sunland’s 2021 earnings per common share should be:___________$4.47.$4.20.$2.21.$1.29.
Answer:
$2.21
Explanation:
For the computation of earnings per common share first we need to find out the preferred dividend and shares outstanding which is shown below:-
Preferred dividend = Common stock × 100 × Given percentage
= 10,600 × 100 × 7%
= 74,200
Share outstanding = Shares × 2
= 200,000 × 2
= 4,000,000
Earning per share = (Net income - Preferred dividend) ÷ Share outstanding
= ($960,000 - 74,200) ÷ 400,000
= $2.21
Hence, we applied the above formulas
Green T-Shirt Processing incurs only fixed and variable costs in its operations. When 10,000 T-shirts are produced, the company’s managerial accountant noted a fixed cost per shirt of $1.00 and a variable cost per pot of $6.00.
If production is expected to increase, which of the following statements is true?a. The fixed cost per T-shirt will not change; the variable cost per T-shirt will decrease.b. Total fixed costs will decrease; the variable cost per T-shirt will not change.c. The fixed cost per T-shirt will decrease; the variable cost per T-shirt will increase.d. Total fixed costs will remain unchanged; total variable costs will increase
Answer:
.d. Total fixed costs will remain unchanged; total variable costs will increase
Explanation:
Fixed cost is cost that does not vary with production e.g rent
Variable costs are costs that vary with production. If production increases, variable costs rises and if production is reduced, variable cost falls. Examples of variable costs are wages and cost of raw materials.
If production increases, more workers and raw materials would be needed, so variable cost would increase.
