Your company manufactures widgets. The fixed cost incurred (independent of the number of widgets produced) each year is $80,000. The variable cost per widget is $0.25. The sale price of each widget is $1.00. The price and the costs are expected to remain unchanged over time. In year 1, the company expects to sell 100,000 widgets. It expects its sales to increase at the rate of 4% a year forever. The discount rate is 10%. Ignore taxes. What is the value of this company
Answer:
$450,000
Explanation:
Since the cash flows from the first 2 years are negative, we cannot calculate a negative terminal value. But we can calculate the present value of the total contribution margin and the fixed costs separately and the find the difference between them.
contribution margin = $100,000 - $25,000 = $75,000
growth rate = 4%
discount rate = 10%
the present value of contribution margin = $75,000 / (10% - 4%) = $1,250,000
now we calculate the present value of fixed costs = $80,000 / 10% = $800,000
the company's value = $1,250,000 - $800,000 = $450,000

Ladders, Inc. has a net profit margin of 5.5 % on sales of $ 48.5 million. It has book value of equity of $ 41.8 million and total book liabilities of $ 28.2 million. What is Ladders' ROE? ROA? Note: Assume the value of Interest Expense is equal to zero.
Answer:
ROE= 0.063816 = 6.38%
ROA = 0.038107 = 3.81%
Explanation:
ROE = NET income / total equity
ROA = net income / average total asset
Net Profit margin = net income/ revenue
Equity = assets - liabilities
0.055 = net income/ $ 48.5 million
Net income = $2.6675 million
Assets = $ 41.8 million + $ 28.2 million = $70 million
ROE = $2.6675 million / $ 41.8 million = 0.063816
ROA = $2.6675 million / $70 = 0.038107

Suppose for every dollar change in household wealth, consumption expenditures change by $0.05. If real household wealth declines by $45 billion, potential GDP is $120 billion, and the multiplier effect for the first year after an expenditure shock is 1.4, what is the total change in output relative to potential for the first year? A. minus 1.63% B. minus 2.63% C. minus 2.8% D. minus 7.0%
Answer:
B. Minus 2.63%
Explanation:
Increase in consumption = Change in consumption × Household wealth
= $0.05 × $45billion
= $2.25billion
Total output = Potential GDP ÷ Multiplier effect
= $120 billion ÷ 1.4
= $85.71
Total change in output = Increase in consumption ÷ Total output
= $2.25 ÷ $85.71
= $0.0263 or 2.63%
Cullumber Company sells office equipment on July 31, 2022, for $20,260 cash. The office equipment originally cost $72,300 and as of January 1, 2022, had accumulated depreciation of $35,000. Depreciation for the first 7 months of 2022 is $4,290.Required:Prepare the journal entries to: a. Update depreciation to July 31, 2022. b. Record the sale of the equipment.
Answer:
a.
July 31, 2022
Depreciation expense $4290 Dr
Accumulated depreciation - Equipment $4290 Cr
b.
July 31. 2022
Cash $20260 Dr
Accumulated depreciation-Equipment $39290 Dr
Loss on disposal $12750 Dr
Equipment $72300 Cr
Explanation:
a.
The entry would be to charge depreciation expense for the first six months of equipment and to do so, we debit the depreciation expense account and credit the accumulated depreciation account.
b.
We first need to determine the net book value of the asset on the day of sale and then calculate the gain or loss on disposal.
Net Book Value or NBV = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
Accumulated depreciation = 35000 + 4290 = 39290
NBV = 72300 - 39290 = $33010
Loss on disposal = 20260 - 33010 = - $12750 loss

B) How much was deposited? C) What is the amount of each withdrawal? D) What is the total amount withdrawn?
Gross profit margin (Gross profit/Sales) is an important determinant of NOPAT. Identify two factors that can cause gross profit margin to decline. Is a reduction in the gross profit margin always bad news
Answer:
Please find the detailed answer in the explanation section.
Explanation:
Gross profit margins can decline because:
1. When the industry becomes more competitive and/or the company's products have lost their competitive advantage so that the company will have to reduce prices inorder to sell more.
2. Product costs have increased. These are the cost to produce goods and services. Examples are direct labour, direct materials etc. Gross profit will decline if these increases
Declining gross profit margins are usually viewed negatively i.e the reduction in the gross profit margin is always a bad news for a company.
What causes gross profit margin to decline? - when the competition in the industry is high and the company is losing the competition in the market.

Suppose the money supply (as measured by checkable deposits) is currently $850 billion. The required reserve ratio is 20%. Banks hold $170 billion in reserves, so there are no excess reserves. The Federal Reserve ("the Fed") wants to decrease the money supply by $42.5 billion, to $807.5 billion. It could do this through open-market operations or by changing the required reserve ratio. Assume for this question that you can use the simple money multiplier.
1. If the Fed wants to decrease the money supply using open-market operations, it should (buy / sell)$_____billion worth of U.S. government bonds.
2. If the Fed wants to decrease the money supply by adjusting the required reserve ratio, it should_______the required reserve ratio.
On January 1, 2021, The Barrett Company purchased merchandise from a supplier. Payment was a noninterest-bearing note requiring five annual payments of $38,000 on each December 31 beginning on December 31, 2021, and a lump-sum payment of $280,000 on December 31, 2025. A 10% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation. ((FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: Calculate the amount at which Barrett should record the note payable and corresponding merchandise purchased on January 1, 2021.
Answer:
The Barrett Company
Amount to record the note payable and merchandise purchase on January 1, 2021:
= $294,340
Explanation:
a) Calculation of Present Value of Future Cash Outflows by January 1, 2021:
1. Dec. 31, 2024, present value of $38,000 annuity for 4 years = $38,000 x 3.170 = $120,460
2. Dec. 31, 2025, present value of $280,000 for 5 years = $280,000 x 0.621 = $173,880
Total payment = $294,340 ($120,460 + 173,880)
b) The present value of $38,000 as an annuity lasting 4 years is calculated using the annuity factor of 3.170 at 10% interest rate.
c) The present value of $280,000 after 5 years is calculated using the discount factor of 0.621 at 10% interest rate.
d) These produce a value when added that gives the amount at which the note payable and corresponding merchandise purchased on January 1, 2021 by the Barrett Company should be recorded.
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)

a. Determine the amounts of factory labor costs transferred to Work in Process and Factory Overhead for January
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.
Balance sheet
Assets = liabilities + Capital
$70649 + $21,352 = 92,001 No Effect
Statement of cashflow = No Effect
Income statement = No Effect
"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.
1) In the previous problem, suppose Ferguson has announced it is going to repurchase $15,600 worth of stock. What effect will this transaction have on the equity of the firm? How many shares will be outstanding? What will the price per share be after the repurchase? Ignoring tax effects, show how the share repurchase is effectively the same as a cash dividend.
Answer:
1. Equity reduces to $372,300
2. 11,517 shares
3. $32.33
Explanation:
1. Effect on Equity
The company will use $15,600 cash to buy the equivalent amount of shares.
Cash Balance will reduce by;
= 52,900 - 15,600
= $37,300
Equity will reduce by the amount of stock repurchased;
= 387,900 - 15,600
= $372,300
2. Shares Outstanding
Current Stock Price = [tex]\frac{Equity Value}{Number of shares outstanding}[/tex]
= 387,900/12,000
= $32.33
Number of shares repurchased = 15,600/32.33
= 483 shares
New Shares Outstanding = 12,000 shares - 483 shares
= 11,517 shares
3. Price per share after repurchase
= [tex]\frac{New Equity Value}{New Number of shares outstanding}[/tex]
= 372,300 / 11,517
= $32.33
4. Dividends declared reduces the equity value.
= 32.33 - 1.30
= $31.03
The share repurchase is the same as the cash dividend because the stock price after the repurchase is the same as the stock price if dividends are declared less the cash dividends.
First National Bank charges 13.5 percent compounded monthly on its business loans. First United Bank charges 13.8 percent compounded semiannually. Calculate the EAR for First National Bank and First United Bank. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer: 14.28%
Explanation:
Effective Annual Rate is the rate that takes the periodic rates and converts it to an annual rate if compounding the periodic rate was taken into account.
The formula is;
EAR = (1 + r/m)^m - 1
Where;
r is the Annual nominal rate of interest and,
m is Number of compounding periods in a year
EAR = ( 1 + 13.8/2)² - 1
= 1.142761 - 1
= 0.142761
= 14.28%
Net income for the year was $45,500. Accounts receivable increased $5,500, and accounts payable increased by $11,200. Under the indirect method, the cash flow from operations is a.$62,200 b.$45,500 c.$28,800 d.$51,200
Answer:
d.$51,200
Explanation:
Calculation for the cash flow from operations Under the indirect method
Using this formula
Cash flow=Net income + Increased in accounts payable increased- Increased in Accounts receivable
Let plug in the formula
Cash flow =$45,500+$11,200-$5,500
Cash flow =$51,200
Therefore the cash flow from operations Under the indirect method will be $51,200
SWOT analysis is a framework for analyzing the internal and external environment of a company. It consists of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threat. According to a SWOT analysis, which of the following is not an aspect that the strategy of the firm must follow?a. build on its weaknessesb. remedy the weaknesses or work around themc. take advantage of the opportunities presented by the environmentd. protect the firm from the threats
Answer:
a. build on its weaknesses
Explanation:
The SWOT(strength, weekness, opportunity, threat) analysis, is an analysis used to check a firm's competitive position, and also to assess the potentials of the firm.
According to SWOT analysis, a firm should not build on its weakness, rather, it should build on its strengths. It should be open to work around its weaknesses, take advantage of the opportunities presented by the environment and also protect the firm from threats in order to succeed.
Option A is the correct option because a company should not build on its weaknesses according to SWOT analysis.
A company issued 7%, 15-year bonds with a par value of $480,000 that pay interest semiannually. The market rate on the date of issuance was 7%. The journal entry to record each semiannual interest payment is:
Answer:
Interest Expense $16,800
To Cash $16.800
(Being the interest payment is recorded)
Explanation:
The journal entry to record semiannual interest payment is shown below:
Interest Expense $16,800
To Cash $16.800
(Being the interest payment is recorded)
For computing this we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses and credited the cash as it decreased the assets
The computation is shown below:
= Par value × rate of interest × number of months ÷ total number of months
= $480,000 × 7% × 6 months ÷ 12 months
= $16,800
Since it is semi annual so we take the 6 months

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.

An ad for Maybelline age-minimizing makeup in Ladies' Home Journal magazine featured actress Melina Kanakaredes and offered readers a $1-off coupon when they tried the new makeup. In the context of the communication model, measuring which of the following would be the best way for the source to measure feedback?A) the number of subscribers to Ladies' Home Journal
B) the number of people who make up the target market
C) the number of people who redeem the coupon
D) the number of people who have purchased Maybelline products in the past
E) the number of people to whom Melina Kanakaredes is an appealing spokesperson
Answer: C) the number of people who redeem the coupon.
Explanation:
The coupon was for people who tried the makeup if they saw the ad. To measure how many people tried the new makeup then based on the ad it would be best to use the number of people who redeemed that coupon when purchasing because it would mean that those people saw the ad and decided to act on it especially if the ad contained an actual physical coupon or a digital coupon that can only be used once. This way Maybelline will know for a fact that those using the coupons saw the ad.
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.

Janelle Heinke, the owner of Ha'Peppas!, is considering a new oven in which to bake the firm's signature dish, vegetarian pizza. Oven type A can handle 20 pizzas an hour. The fixed costs associated with oven A are $20,000 and the variable costs are $2.00 per pizza. Oven B is larger and can handle 40 pizzas an hour. The fixed costs associated with oven B are $30,000 and the variable costs are $1.25 per pizza. The pizzas sell for $14 each.
a) What is the break-even point for each oven?
b) If the owner expects to sell 9,000 pizzas, which oven should she purchase?
c) If the owner expects to sell 12,000 pizzas, which oven should she purchase?
d) At what volume should Janelle switch ovens?
Answer:
a) Oven A = 1,667; Oven B = 2,353 pizzas.
b) Oven A
c) Oven A
d) 13,334 pizzas
Explanation:
Since nothing was mentioned regarding her time availability, the capacity of each oven will not be taken into account.
The income equation for ovens A and B, respectively, are:
[tex]A=(14-2)x-20,000\\B=(14-1.25)x-30,000[/tex]
Where 'x' is the number of pizzas sold.
a) The break-even occurs when income is zero:
[tex]A=0=(14-2)x-20,000\\x_A=1,666.66\\B=(14-1.25)x-30,000\\x_B=2,352.94[/tex]
Rounding up to the next whole pizza, the break-even for oven A is 1,667 pizzas and for oven B it is 2,353 pizzas.
b) For x = 9,000:
[tex]A=(14-2)*9,000-20,000\\A=\$88,000\\B=(14-1.25)*9,000-30,000\\B=\$84,750[/tex]
Income is greater with oven A, so Janelle should use oven A.
c) For x = 12,000
[tex]A=(14-2)*12,000-20,000\\A=\$124,000\\B=(14-1.25)*12,000-30,000\\B=\$123,000[/tex]
Income is greater with oven A, so Janelle should use oven A.
d) She should switch ovens at the value for 'x' that causes B to be greater than A:
[tex]A<B\\(14-2)*x-20,000<(14-1.25)*x-30,000\\10,000<0.75x\\x>13,333.33[/tex]
Rounding up to the next whole pizza, she should switch ovens at a volume of 13,334 pizzas.
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
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.
In a perfectly competitive market, the long-run market supply curve tends to be horizontal or nearly so. What is another way to state this fact
Answer:
Market supply is much more elastic in the long run than the short run.
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
In the long run, average total cost is minimized
Market supply is much less elastic in the long run than the short run.
In the long run, price equals marginal cost.
Market supply is much more elastic in the long run than the short run.
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
When the supply curve is horizontal or nearly so, it means that supply is highly elastic. a small change in price would greatly affect the quantity supplied.
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
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.
