Which of the following would have an inventory of municipal security secondary market positions?
Pat is on the Board of Directors for Zony, a consumer electronics manufacturer. Pat has been an excellent board member by providing leadership and expertise to the Zony Board. Zamzung is a consumer electronics manufacturer and direct competitor to Zony. Zamzung believes Pat would be a good addition to their Board of Directors. Zamzung asks Pat to join the Board of Zamzung. Can Pat be on the Board of Directors of both Zony and Zamzung?
Answer: No. Pat cannot be on the Board of Directors of both Zony and Zamzung.
Explanation:
No, Pat cannot be on the Board of Directors of both Zony and Zamzung. The Clayton Act prohibits this as Pat can have superior power and high control of the industry.
Pat can also face ethical issues such as internal tactics or sharing of information or conflict regarding decision making. Pat being on the Board of Directors of both Zony and Zamzung will lead to an unfair competition in the market as well.
Expense A is a fixed cost; expense B is a variable cost. During the current year the activity level has increased, but is still within the relevant range. In terms of cost per unit of activity, we would expect that
Answer:
b) Expense B has decreased.
Explanation:
a) Expense A has remained unchanged.
b) Expense B has decreased.
c) Expense A has decreased.
d) Expense B has increased.
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.
Hourly wage costs and payments for production inputs are variable costs
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
If a producer decides not to produce any output, there would be no need to hire labour and thus no need to pay hourly wages.
Let assume fixed cost is 100 pounds when output is 10 units
Fixed cost per unit = fixed cost / output
100 / 10 = 10
Fixed cost per output when output increases to 20 units is
100 / 20 = 5
fixed cost per unit falls as output increases
Tony's marginal income tax rate is 24%, and he pays FICA tax on his entire salary (7.65%). Tony's employer offered him a choice between $5,000 additional salary or a nontaxable fringe benefit. Tony would have to pay $3,600 to purchase the benefit directly. Which of the following statements is true? (answers rounded to the nearest whole dollar)A. The fringe benefit and the additional salary have the same after-tax value.B. The fringe benefit is worth $83 more than the additional salary.C. The additional salary is worth $300 more than the fringe benefit.D. None of the above is true.
Answer: The fringe benefit is worth $182 more than the additional salary.
Explanation:
The Fringe benefit is valued at $3,600.
The additional salary after taxes is:
= 5,000 - (5,000 * 24%) - (5,000 * 7.65%)
= 5,000 - 1,200 - 382.5
= $3,418
The Fringe benefit is worth more than the salary by:
= 3,600 - 3,418
= $182
Options are more probably for a variant of this question.
Tip Top Corp. produces a product that requires nine standard gallons per unit. The standard price is $6 per gallon. If 3,400 units required 31,800 gallons, which were purchased at $5.88 per gallon, what is the direct materials (a) price variance, (b) quantity variance, and (c) cost variance
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price, quantity, and total variance; we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (6 - 5.88)*31,800
Direct material price variance= $3,816 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (9*3,400 - 31,800)*6
Direct material quantity variance= $7,200 unfavorable
Total direct material cost variance= 3,816 - 7,200
Total direct material cost variance= $3,384 unfavorable
MC Qu. 93 Job A3B was ordered by a customer on... Job A3B was ordered by a customer on September 25. During the month of September, Jaycee Corporation requisitioned $3,000 of direct materials and used $4,500 of direct labor. The job was not finished by the end of the month, but needed an additional $3,500 of direct materials and additional direct labor of $7,500 to finish the job in October. The company applies overhead at the end of each month at a rate of 200% of the direct labor cost incurred. What is the balance in the Work in Process account at the end of September relative to Job A3B
Answer:
$16,500
Explanation:
Note: Work In Process simply mean the cost of Job which is not complete.
Work In Process = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Overhead Cost
Work In Process = $3,000 + $4,500 + ($4,500*200%)
Work In Process = $3,000 + $4,500 + $9,000
Work In Process = $16,500
So, the balance in the Work in Process account at the end of September relative to Job A3B is $16,500.

40,353 30 531,618
Answer:
11.86%
7.13%
19.95%
8.97%
Explanation:
interest rate = [tex]\frac{future value}{present value}}^{\frac{1}{n} } - 1[/tex]
(317/181)^ (1/5) - 1 = 11.86%
1080/335)^(1/17) - 1 = .13%
(185,382/48,000)^(1/13) - 1 = 19.95%
(531,618 / 40,353)^(1/30) - 1 = 8.97%
The interest rate in the 1 case is 5.01%, 2 case is 5.79%, 3 case is 8.05%, 4 case is 10.60%.
What is interest rate?An interest rate is the amount of interest owed per period, as a quotient of the amount lent, deposited, or borrowed.
Computation of the interest rates :The formula for future value is:
[tex]\text{FV}= \text{PV} \ (1+r)^n[/tex]
where,
PV=present value
r=interest rate
n =number of periods/ years
FV = future value.
Then, the formula for finding r is :
[tex]\text{FV}= \text{PV} \ (1+r)^n\\\\r= (\dfrac{\text{FV}}{\text{PV}})^\dfrac{1}{\text{n}-1}[/tex]
case1:put the above formula in case 1 we get:
[tex]r= (\dfrac{\text{\$231}}{\text{\$190}})^\dfrac{1}{4}-1}\\\\r= (\dfrac{\text{\$231}}{\text{\$190}})^{0.25-1}\\\\r=(1.21578947)^{0.25-1}\\\\r=1.05006116 -1\\\\r=0.05006116\times100\\\\r=5.01%[/tex]
case2:Put the above formula in case 2 we get:
[tex]r= (\dfrac{\text{\$854}}{\text{\$310}})^\dfrac{1}{18}-1}\\\\r= (\dfrac{\text{\$854}}{\text{\$310}})^{0.0555-1}\\\\r=(2.75483871)^{0.0555-1}\\\\r=1.05785304 -1-1\\\\r=0.05785304\times100\\\\r=5.79%.[/tex]
case3:Put the above formula in case 3 we get:
[tex]r= (\dfrac{\text{\$1,48,042}}{\text{\$34,000}})^\dfrac{1}{19}-1}\\\\r= (\dfrac{\text{\$1,48,042}}{\text{\$34,000}})^{0.0526-1}\\\\r=(4.35417647)^{0.0526-1}\\\\r=1.08045444 -1\\\\r=0.08045444\times100\\\\r=8.05%[/tex]

Direct labor or machine hours may not be the appropriate cost driver for overhead in all areas of manufacturing due to the complexities of many manufacturing processes. Many companies use activity-based costing (ABC) which uses multiple drivers (items that consume resources) rather than just one driver to apply overhead to their activities. With ABC, a company can use a cost driver that has a direct cause/effect relationship in its applied overhead costs. Waterways looked into ABC as a method of costing because of the variety of items it produces and the many different activities in which it is involved. The activities listed below are a sample of possible cost pools for Waterways.

If total liabilities decreased by $27,275 during a period of time and stockholders' equity increased by $34,366 during the same period, the amount and direction (increase or decrease) of the period's change in total assets is a a.$7,091 decrease b.$27,275 increase c.$27,275 decrease d.$7,091 increase
Answer:
d.$7,091 increase
Explanation:
From the accounting equation, assets = liabilities + equity. If the total liabilities decrease by $27,275, the assets will also decrease by $27,275. Similarly, when stockholders' equity increased by $34,366, the amount of assets will increase by the same amount. The net increase in assets will be $7,091, which is the difference between the increase in stockholders' equity and the decrease in liabilities ($34,366 - $27,275).
Suppose the U.S. foreign assets are 67 percent of the U.S. GDP, and the U.S. foreign liabilities are 95 percent of the U.S. GDP. Moreover, suppose that 66 percent of U.S. foreign assets are denominated in foreign currencies, while all liabilities to foreigners are denominated in U.S. dollars. How will a 13 percent depreciation of the dollar affect foreigners' net foreign claims on the U.S. measured in U.S. dollars (as a percent of U.S. GDP)
Answer:
8.58% of US GDP is the answer for the required question.
Explanation:
US Foreign Assets = 67% of US GDP
US Liabilities = 95% of US GDP
66% of US Foreign Assets = Foreign Currencies
All Liabilities to Foreigners = US Dollars.
Depreciation rate = 13%
Solution:
Consider the following formula for this problem:
Change in external wealth in US dollar = (Change in foreign assets in dollars) - (Change in foreign liabilities in US dollars)
Liabilities are already denominated in dollars in our instance, but assets are not. As a result, we'll use the formula above to calculate the dollar value of the foreign assets. However, because the dollar value of net external assets fluctuates, we must also consider the rate of depreciation.
Change in dollar value of foreign currency denominated asset = rate of depreciation x Share of the foreign currency
Share of the foreign Currency = 66%
Rate of Depreciation = 13%
= 0.13 x 0.66 = 0.0858 = 8.58%
Hence,
8.58% of US GDP is the answer for the required question.
arett Motors is trying to decide whether it should keep its existing car washing machine or purchase a new one that has technological advantages (which translate into cost savings) over the existing machine. Information on each machine follows: Old machine New machine Original cost $9,000 $20,000 Accumulated depreciation 5,000 0 Annual cash operating costs 9,000 4,000 Current salvage value of old machine 2,000 Salvage value in 10 years 500 1,000 Remaining life 10 yrs 10 yrs Refer to Jarett Motors. The $4,000 of annual operating costs that are common to both the old and the new machine are an example of a(n) Select one: a. opportunity cost b. irrelevant cost c. future avoidable cost d. sunk cost
Answer:
Jarett Motors
The $4,000 of annual operating costs are an example of an
a. opportunity cost
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Old machine New machine
Original cost $9,000 $20,000
Accumulated depreciation 5,000 0
Annual cash operating costs 9,000 4,000
Current salvage value of old machine 2,000
Salvage value in 10 years 500 1,000
Remaining life 10 yrs 10 yrs
b) The annual operating costs are an example of opportunity cost because the alternative with the old machine will incur an annual operating cost of $9,000 instead of $4,000 with the new machine. This will translate to a forgone benefit of $5,000 ($9,000 - $4,000) in cost saving if the new machine is purchased.

A pension fund has an average duration of its liabilities equal to 17 years. The fund is looking at 4-year maturity zero-coupon bonds and 4% yield perpetuities to immunize its interest rate risk. How much of its portfolio should it allocate to the zero-coupon bonds to immunize if there are no other assets funding the plan
Answer:
40.91%
Explanation:
Duration perpetuity = 1.04/4%
Duration perpetuity = 1.04/0.04
Duration perpetuity = 26 years
Now, 17 = (Wz)*4 + (1 - Wz)*26
17 = 4Wz + 26 - 26Wz
26Wz - 4Wz = 26 - 17
22Wz = 9
Wz = 9/22
Wz = 0.409091
Wz = 40.91%
So, 40.91% of its portfolio should be allocated to the zero-coupon bonds to immunize, if there are no other assets funding the plan.
4) The returns on the Bledsoe small-cap fund are the most volatile of all the mutual funds offered in the 401k plan. Why would you ever want to invest in the fund
Answer:
The summary of the given question is summarized in the explanation below.
Explanation:
Users might also opt for investment in a somewhat more "unstable" investment, and that we might risk lower because everything depends instead on the sensitivity of something like the participant's risks.A cautious investor can't invest throughout the micro-cap financing, whereas a risky investor is otherwise able to bear the risk as well as therefore an investment upon that condition increased risk would be equivalent to greater rewards.In its most recent annual report, Appalachian Beverages reported current assets of $39,900 and a current ratio of 1.90.

urtle Corporation produces and sells a single product. Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling price $ 150 100 % Variable expenses 75 50 % Contribution margin $ 75 50 % The company is currently selling 6,500 units per month. Fixed expenses are $206,000 per month. The marketing manager believes that a $6,300 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 100 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?
Answer:
Net increase in operating income = $1,200
Explanation:
Contribution margin per unit = $150 - $75 = $75 per unit
if marketing expenses increase by $6,300, the total number of units sold will incerase by 100 units. Differential increase in contribution margin = $75 x 100 = $7,500. Differential increase in fixed expenses = $6,300. Net increase in operating income = $7,500 - $6,300 = $1,200
Paradise Travels is an all-equity firm that has 10,000 shares of stock outstanding at a market price of $25 a share. Management has decided to issue $25,000 worth of debt and use the funds to repurchase shares of the outstanding stock. The interest rate on the debt will be 7.3 percent. Calculate the break even EBIT. Look at lecture material .
Answer:
$1.62
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the break even EBIT
First step is to determine the Number of shares purchased
Number of shares purchased= $25,000 / $25
Number of shares purchased= $1,000
Second step is to determine the EBIT
EBIT / 10,000 = [EBIT - ($25,000 * 0.073)] / (10,000 - 1,000)
EBIT / 10,000 = (EBIT - $1,825) / 9,000
9,000 EBIT = 10,000 EBIT - $16,425,000
1,000 EBIT = $16,425,000
EBIT=$16,425,000/1,000
EBIT = $16,425
Now let determine the Earning per Shares at Break-even level of earning
Earning per Shares at Break-even level of earning= [EBIT - ($25,000 * 0.073)] / (10,000 - 1,000)
Earning per Shares at Break-even level of earning= ($16,425 - $1,825) / 9,000
Earning per Shares at Break-even level of earning= $14,600 / 9000
Earning per Shares at Break-even level of earning= $1.62
Therefore the break even EBIT is $1.62

Hart, an individual, bought an asset for $500,000 and has claimed $100,000 of depreciation deductions against the asset. Hart has a marginal tax rate of 32 percent.
a1. What is the amount and character of Hart's recognized gain or loss if the asset is tangible personal property sold for $550,000?
a2. Due to this sale, what tax effect does Hart have for the year?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The amount and the character of the gain or loss is
Sale value of the property $550,000
Less: (Purchase value - depreciation) $400,000
Total gain recognized $150,000
Ordinary income recapture is $100,000
remaining 1231 gain or loss $50,000
b.
Section 1231 Gain = $50,000
, Rate of tax on $100,000 i.e. 32% = $32000
Rate of tax on $50000 i.e. 15% = $7500
So,
The Total tax liability is
= $32,000 + $7,500
= $39,500
The Wildhorse Company has disclosed the following financial information in its annual reports for the period ending March 31, 2017: sales of $1.484 million, cost of goods sold of $803,000, depreciation expenses of $175,000, and interest expenses of $89,575. Assume that the firm has an average tax rate of 35 percent. Compute the cash flows to investors from operating activity.
Answer: $535,251.25
Explanation:
Cash flow to investors from operating activities is calculated by:
= EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
EBIT = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Depreciation
= 1,484,000 - 803,000 - 175,000
= $506,000
Taxes = Tax rate * (EBIT - Interest)
= 35% * (506,000 - 89,575)
= $145,748.75
Cash flow to investors = 506,000 + 175,000 - 145,748.75
= $535,251.25

Dividends at FSL are expected grow at a rate of negative 5.4% per year (the dividends are getting smaller). The stock just paid a dividend of $3.93 per share, and investors require a return of 13% to invest in the company. What is the expected price of the stock next year?
Answer:
$21.37
Explanation:
g = -5.4%
D0 = $3.93
D1 = D0 (1+g)
D1 = 3.93*(1-0.054)
D1 = 3.93*0.946
D1 = 3.71778
Investors require a return (ke) of 12%
P0 = D1/(ke - g)
P0 = 3.71778 / (12% - (-5.4%)
P0 = 3.71778 / (12% + 5.4%)
P0 = 3.71778 / 17.4%
P0 = 3.71778 / 0.174
P0 = 21.3665517
P0 = $21.37
So, the expected price of the stock next year is $21.37.
Sheffield Co. had retained earnings of $19900 on the balance sheet but disclosed in the footnotes that $2800 of retained earnings was restricted for building expansion and $800 was restricted for bond repayments. Cash of $2200 had been set aside for the plant expansion. How much of retained earnings is available for dividends?a. $12,000.b. $13,000.c. $15,000.d. $10,000.
Answer:
$16,300
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much of retained earnings is available for dividends
Using this formula
Retained earnings=Retained earnings - Retained earnings for restricted plant expansion - Restricted for bond repayments
Let plug in the formula
Retained earnings= $19,900 - $2,800 - $800
Retained earnings= $16,300
Therefore the amount of retained earnings that is available for dividends is $16,300

Crane Company uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 483 units that cost $63 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 723 units at $66 each and 362 units at $68 each. Crane Company also sold 1195 units during the month. Using the average cost method, what is the amount of ending inventory
Answer:
$24,445.67
Explanation:
The average cost method calculates an average costs out of the units available for sale. The average cost is then used to value cost of sales and the inventory value.
Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Units available for sale
therefore,
Unit Cost = (483 x $63 + 723 x $66 + 362 x $68) ÷ 1,568
= $65.538
Now,
Ending Inventory = Units in stock x Unit Cost
= (1,568 - 1,195) x $65.538
= $24,445.67
Using the average cost method, the amount of ending inventory is $24,445.67.
