Answer:
a. At the break-even point, there is no advantage to debt.
Explanation:
In the case when we concerned about the relationship between the levered and an unlevered capital structure also there is no taxes so the statement i.e. correct is at the break even point we dont have an advantage with respect to the debt
Therefore the first option is correct
The statement about the relationship between a levered and an unlevered capital structure is valid in that debt has no advantage at the break-even point.
What is a break-even point?Break-even point is the market condition where there is no profit and no loss to the company.
Here, the total revenue and the total cost of the firm equals.
When it comes to the relationship between a levered and an unlevered capital structure, there are no taxes, hence the statement, i.e., correct, is that at the break-even point, we don't have a debt advantage.
Therefore, option A is correct.

When the equity method of accounting for investments is used by the investor, the amortization of additional depreciation due to differences between book values and fair values of investee assets on the date of acquisition: Group of answer choices Increases the investment account and reduces investment revenue. Increases the investment account and increases investment revenue. Reduces the investment account and increases investment revenue. Reduces the investment account and reduces investment revenue.
Answer:
d. Reduces the investment account and reduces investment revenue.
Explanation:
When the equity method of accounting for investments is used by the investor, the amortization of additional depreciation due to differences between book values and fair values of investee assets on the date of acquisition reduces the investment account and reduces investment revenue.
The amortization of additional depreciation reduces the investment account in the investee as well as reduces the income recognized from investee.
In the equity method, an investor amortizes, or expenses, the additional over book value paid for its portion of the investee's tangible non current assets. For non current assets, book value is purchase price minus accumulated depreciation. The investor amortizes the amount above book value it allocates to investee assets.

You plan to retire in 28 years. You would like to maintain your current level of consumption which is $52,672 per year. You will need to have 30 years of consumption during your retirement. You can earn 5.03% per year (nominal terms) on your investments. In addition, you expect inflation to be 2.82% inflation per year, from now and through your retirement. How much do you have to invest each year, starting next year, for 13 years, in nominal terms to just cover your retirement needs?
Answer:
The amount to invest each year for 13 years is $5,617.37.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = current level of consumption = $52,672
P = amount to invest each year = ?
r = annual nominal interest rate = 5.03%, or 0.0503
n = number of years = 13
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:
$52,672 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0503))^13) / 0.0503)
$52,672 = P * 9.37662983027493
P = $52,672 / 9.37662983027493
P = $5,617.37
Therefore, the amount to invest each year for 13 years is $5,617.37.

Continent Construction Company is a building contractor specializing in small commercial buildings. The company has the opportunity to accept one of two jobs; it cannot accept both because they must be performed at the same time and Continent does not have the necessary labor force for both jobs. Indeed, it will be necessary to hire a new supervisor if either job is accepted. Furthermore, additional insurance will be required if either job is accepted. The revenue and costs associated with each job follow.
Cost Category Job A Job B
Contract price $800,000 $750,000
Unit—level materials 250,000 220,000
Unit—level labor 260,000 310,000
Unit—level overhead 40,000 30,000
Supervisor's salary 70,000 70,000
Rental equipment costs 26,000 29,000
Depreciation on tools (zero market value) 19,900 19,900
Allocated portion of companywide facility—sustaining costs 10,400 8,600
Insurance cost for job 18,200 18,200
Required
a. Assume that Continent has decided to accept one of the two jobs. Fill in the information relevant to selecting one job versus the other. Recommend which job to accept.
b. Assume that Job A is no longer available. Continent's choice is to accept or reject Job B alone. Fill in the information relevant to this decision. Recommend whether to accept or reject Job B.
Answer:
1. Job A is considered for recommendation
2. Accept B
Explanation:
1. We calculate contribution for A and B
For job A
$(800000-250000-260000-40000-26000)
= $224000
For job B
$(750000-220000-310000-30000-29000)
= $161000
We compare the costs of both jobs. A has more contribution compared to B so we consider A.
2. A is no longer available
We add supervisors salary as well as insurance as additional costs
$(750000-220000-310000-30000-29000-70000-18200)
= 72800
The contribution from b is positive so the decision is to accept it.
g At the beginning of the month, the Painting Department of Skye Manufacturing had 39,000 units in inventory, 75% complete as to materials, and 20% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 134,000 units and transferred 148,500 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 24,500 units in inventory, 40% complete as to materials and 15% complete as to conversion. If Skye Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Painting Department.

Equivalent units:
158,300 materials; 152,175 conversion
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning WIP = 39,000 units; Degree of completion: 75% materials and 20% conversion.
Units started during the month = 134,000
Units completed and transferred out = 148,500
Ending units of WIP = 24,500
Equivalent units, using the weighted average method of process costing:
Units Materials Conversion
Units transferred out 148,500 148,500 (100%) 148,500 (100%)
Ending Work in Process 24,500 9,800 (40%) 3,675 (15%)
Total equivalent units 158,300 152,175
Use the following information: Accounts receivable, beginning of year: $16,000 Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts, beginning of year: $1,200 Net credit sales during the year: $105,000 Collections on accounts receivable during the year: $93,000 Delinquent accounts written off during the year: $1,600 Assume all accounts have normal balances. If bad debts are estimated to be 10% of ending accounts receivable, the adjusting entry to recognize bad debts would debit bad debt expense for
Answer:
Bad debts expense is $ 2240
Explanation:
Given that;
Accounts receivable, beginning of year = $16,000
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts, beginning of year = $1,200
Net credit sales during the year = $105,000
Collections on accounts receivable during the year = $93,000
Delinquent accounts written off during the year: $1,600
If bad debts are estimated to be 10% of ending accounts receivable, the adjusting entry to recognize bad debts would debit bad debt expense for;
Account Receivable, ending = ( Accounts Receivable, beginning + Net credit sales - Collections on account - Accounts written off )
Account Receivable, ending = ( $16,000 + $105,000 - $93,000 - $1,600 )
Account Receivable, ending = $ 26,400
Estimated accounts uncollectible = (26,400 × 10%) = 2640
Allowance for uncollectible accounts debit balance = ( 1600 - 1200) = 400
so
Bad debts expense = Estimated accounts uncollectible - Allowance for uncollectible accounts debit balance
we substitute
Bad debts expense = (26,400 × 10%) - ( 1600 - 1200)
Bad debts expense = 2640 - 400
Bad debts expense = $ 2240
Therefore, Bad debts expense is $ 2240
A company is forecasted to generate free cash flows of $25 million next year and $29 million the year after. After that, cash flows are projected to grow at a stable rate in perpetuity. The company's cost of capital is 12.0%. The company has $34 million in debt, $19 million of cash, and 23 million shares outstanding. Using an exit multiple for the company's free cash flows (EV/FCFF) of 17, what's your estimate of the company's stock price
Answer:
$18.41
Explanation:
Equity value = FCF next year / (1 + cost of capital) + FCF in year 2 / (1 + cost of capital)^2 + 1 / (1 + cost of capital)^2 * [ (FCF in year 2 * exit multiple)]
= $25 million/1.12 + $29 million/1.12^2 + 1 / 1.12^2*[($29 million*17)]
= $25 million/1.12 + $29 million/1.12^2 + $493 million/1.12^2
= $25 million / 1.12 + $522 million / 1.12^2
= $438.4566327 million
The stock price = ($438.4566327 million - Debt + Cash) / Number of shares outstanding
= ($438.4566327 million - $34 million + $19 million) / 23 million shares
= $423.4566327 million / 23 million shares
= 18.4111579435
= $18.41

Organizations exchange information internally and externally. External messages go to customers, vendors, the government, and other business partners. Internal messages travel upward to supervisors, downward to employees, and horizontally among workers. Understanding the different types of business messages and following the 3-x-3 writing process will help you write more effective professional messages.
Match the message content area with the correct types of messages.
a. Sales pitches, requests for favors
b. Replies, goodwill messages, direct claims
c. Bad news, refusals
1. persuasive
2. positive
3. negative
Answer:
1. persuasive: a. Sales pitches, requests for favors
2. positive: b. Replies, goodwill messages, direct claims
3. negative: c. Bad news, refusals
Explanation:
a) A persuasive speech is one whose goal is to convince someone of something, so it is correct to say that in an organizational message where there are sales speeches and requests for favors, there is a need for a persuasive speech, whose message seeks to convince the sender of the benefits of make a sale for example.
b) A positive speech is one whose intention is to motivate, give praise, offer positive feedback, etc. Therefore, in responses, messages of goodwill, direct claims, positive speech will help in better understanding of the sender and in the positive positioning of the company.
c) A negative discourse occurs when there is bad news to be shared, it is necessary that this message is written in a soft way, with damping words and indirectly, because this way the acceptability can be greater.
Rusty has been experiencing serious financial problems. His annual salary was $100,000, but a creditor garnished his salary for $20,000; so the employer paid the creditor (rather than Rusty) the $20,000. To prevent creditors from attaching his investments, Rusty gave his investments to his 21-year-old daughter, Rebecca. Rebecca received $5,000 in dividends and interest from the investments during the year. Rusty transferred some cash to a Swiss bank account that paid him $6,000 interest during the year. Rusty did not withdraw the interest from the Swiss bank account. Rusty also hid some of his assets in his wholly owned corporation that received $150,000 rent income but had $160,000 in related expenses, including a $20,000 salary paid to Rusty. Rusty reasons that his gross income should be computed as follows:
Salary received $80,000
Loss from rental property ($150,000-$160,000) (10,000)
Gross income $70,000
Compute rustys correct gross income for the year, and explain any differences between your calculation and rusty
Answer:
Rusty annual salary was $100,000.
Rusty will not be taxed on the interest and dividend amount of $5,000 as Rebecca is the owner of the assets that is producing this income.
Secondly, Rusty will also need to report the $6,000 interest income. This has to be reported even though it has not been withdrawn.
Thirdly, he received $20,000 as salary from his wholly owned corporation.
Salary from employer $100,000
Salary from wholly owned corporation $20,000
Dividends and interest from the investments $0
Interest from Swiss bank account $6,000
Rental loss incurred $0
Gross income $126,000
Hughes Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 22 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 5 percent thereafter. If the required return is 12 percent and the company just paid a $2.35 dividend, what is the current share price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Answer: $53.94
Explanation:
Current share price is the present value of the dividends for the next 3 years and the terminal value in year 3.
Terminal value = D₄ / ( required return - growth rate)
= (2.35 * 1.22³ * 1.05) / (12 % - 5%)
= $64
D₁ = 2.35 * 1.22 = $2.867
D₂ = 2.867 * 1.22 = $3.49774
D₃ = 3.49774 * 1.22 = $4.2672428
Share price = (2.867 / (1 + 12%)) + (3.49774 / 1.12²) + (4.2672428 / 1.12³) + (64/1.12³)
= $53.94

On January 20 of the current year, Zealand and Menandez form ZM LLC. Their contributions to the LLC are as follows: Adjusted Basis Fair Market Value From Zealand: Cash $82,000 $82,000 Accounts receivable $0 $214,000 Inventory $19,000 $26,000 From Menandez: Cash $201,000 $201,000 Temporary Investments $121,000 $121,000 Within 30 days of formation, ZM collects the receivables and sells the inventory for $26,000 cash. ZM realized the following income in the current year from these transactions: a. Ordinary income of $fill in the blank 2 from collecting cash basis accounts receivable. b. Ordinary income of $fill in the blank 4 from sale of inventory.
Answer:
Ordinary Income of $214,000 from collecting cash basis accounts receivable
Ordinary Income of $7,000 from sale of Inventory.
Explanation:
a. Adjusted basis of Accounts receivable = $0
Fair Market Value of Accounts Receivable = $214,000
Cash realized from Accounts Receivable = $214,000
Ordinary Income from collecting cash basis accounts receivable = $214,000
It is ordinary income since the Accounts receivable are taxed only after they are collected.
b. Adjusted basis of Inventory = $19,000
Fair Market Value of Inventory = $26,000
Cash realized from sale of Inventory = $26,000
Ordinary Income from sale of Inventory = Cash received from sale - Adjusted basis = $26,000 - $19,000 = $7,000
It is ordinary income since the Inventory only recognizes the adjusted basis i.e. the amount paid for inventory and any income recognized on sale of inventory is taxed accordingly.
Plant-wide, department, and activity-cost rates. Acclaim Inc. makes two styles of trophies, basic and deluxe, and operates at capacity. Acclaim does large custom orders. Acclaim budgets to produce 10,000 basic trophies and 5,000 deluxe trophies. Manufacturing takes place in two production departments: forming and assembly. In the forming department, indirect manufacturing costs are accumulated in two cost pools, setup and general overhead. In the assembly department, all indirect manufacturing costs are accumulated in one general overhead cost pool. The basic trophies are formed in batches of 200 but be-cause of the more intricate detail of the deluxe trophies, they are formed in batches of 50.
The controller has asked you to compare plant-wide, department, and activity-based cost allocation.

Adams Company manufactures two products. The budgeted per-unit contribution margin for each product follows: Super Supreme Sales price $ 95 $ 124 Variable cost per unit (58 ) (74 ) Contribution margin per unit $ 37 $ 50 Adams expects to incur annual fixed costs of $227,880. The relative sales mix of the products is 60 percent for Super and 40 percent for Supreme. Required Determine the total number of products (units of Super and Supreme combined) Adams must sell to break even. How many units each of Super and Supreme must Adams sell to break even
Answer:
Expected contribution as per sales mix = $37*0.60 + $50*0.40
= $22.20 + $20
= $42.20 per unit
Total number of products in total at break even point = Total fixed cost / Contribution per unit
= $227,880 / $42.20 per unit
= 5,400 units
How many units each of Super and Supreme must Adams sell to break even?
According to sales mix:
Super = 5,400 * 60% = 3,240 units
Supreme = 5,400 * 40% = 2,160 units.

On January 1, 2019, Lightfoot Corporation issues 10%, 5-year bonds with a face value of $275,000 when the effective interest rate is 9%. Interest is to be paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Prepare calculations to prove that the selling price of the bonds is $285,880.07. Click here to access the tables to use with this exercise. Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary. Present value of principal$fill in the blank 1 Present value of interestfill in the blank 2 Selling price
Answer:
Face Value of Bonds = $275,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 10%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 5%
Semiannual Coupon = 5% * $275,000 = $13,750
Time to Maturity = 5 years
Semiannual Period = 10
Annual Interest Rate = 9%
Semiannual Interest Rate = 4.5%
Present Value of Principal = $275,000 * PV of $1 (4.50%, 10)
Present Value of Principal = $275,000 * 0.643928
Present Value of Principal = $177,080.20
Present Value of Interest = $13,750 * PVA of $1 (4.50%, 10)
Present Value of Interest = $13,750 * 7.912718
Present Value of Interest = $108,799.87
Cross-Check
Selling Price = Present Value of Principal + Present Value of Interest = $177,080.20 + $108,799.87 = $285,880.07
It is now January 1, 2018, and you are considering the purchase of an outstanding bond that was issued on January 1, 2016. It has a 9% annual coupon and had a 20-year original maturity. (It matures on December 31, 2035.) There is 5 years of call protection (until December 31, 2020), after which time it can be called at 109-that is, at 109% of par, or $1,090. Interest rates have declined since it was issued, and it is now selling at 114.12% of par, or $1,141.20. What is the yield to maturity
Answer:
YTM is 7.54%.
Explanation:
The yield to maturity can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)
Where;
YTM = yield to maturity = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity = original maturity number of years - number of years between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2018 = 20 - 2 = 18
pmt = annual coupon payment = face value * annual coupon rate = 1000 * 9% = 90 (Note: This is an inflow to the bondholder and it is therefore a positive figure).
pv = present value = current bond price = -1141.20 (Note: This is an outflow to the buyer of the bond and it is therefore a negative figure).
fv = face value of the bond = 1000 (Note: This is an inflow to the bondholder and it is therefore a positive figure).
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(18,90,-1141.20,1000) ............ (2)
Inputting =RATE(18,90,-1141.20,1000) into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 7.54%.
Therefore, YTM is 7.54%.
Three accuracy problems with the consumer price index (CPI) are Group of answer choices price confusion, substitution, and quality changes. substitution, quality changes, and the money illusion. substitution, quality changes, and the availability of new goods and services. the availability of new goods and services, substitution, and traditional bundle bias. the income effect, substitution effect, and money illusion.
Answer:
Option b (Substitution.....services) is the appropriate choice.
Explanation:
The above leads to calculating difficulties as well as the failure throughout the Index to identify better products and services contributing to less precise inflation outcomes.It does not take account of the replacement facilities, which arise when an increase throughout the price of one promising recommendation to a replacement including its good by another, which often increases the costs of one quality.The other options are not related to the given scenario. So the above is the correct choice.
A-Rod Manufacturing Company is trying to calculate its cost of capital for use in making a capital budgeting decision. Mr. Jeter, the vice-president of finance, has given you the following information and has asked you to compute the weighted average cost of capital.
The company currently has outstanding a bond with a 10.6 percent coupon rate and another bond with an 8.2 percent rate. The firm has been informed by its investment banker that bonds of equal risk and credit rating are now selling to yield 11.5 percent. The common stock has a price of $60 and an expected dividend (D1) of $1.80 per share. The historical growth pattern (g) for dividends is as follows:
1.35
1.49
1.64
1.80
The preferred stock is selling at $80 per share and pays a dividend of $7.60 per share. The corporate tax rate is 30 percent. The flotation cost is 2.5 percent of the selling price for preferred stock. The optimum capital structure for the firm is 25 percent debt, 10 percent preferred stock, and 65 percent common equity in the form of retained earnings.

Answer:
PV = 1.35
FV = 1.8
n = 3
a. Growth rate = Rate(N, -PV, FV)
Growth rate = Rate(3, -1.35, 1.8)
Growth rate = 0.10
Growth rate = 10%
B. Cost of debt Kd (After tax) = 11.5%*(1-0.30) = 8.05%
Cost of preference share Kp = Dividend/Price = 7.6 /[80*(1 - 0.025)] = 9.74%
Cost of equity Ke = D1/P0+g = 1.8/60 + 0.1 = 0.03+0.1 = 0.13 = 13%
c. Source Weight A COC(%)(B) Weight cost of capital(A*B)

elisa Corporation has two divisions: Division L and Division Q. Data from the most recent month appear below: Total Company Division L Division Q Sales $528,000 $142,000 $386,000 Variable expenses 319,460 72,420 247,040 Contribution margin 208,540 69,580 138,960 Traceable fixed expenses 109,920 29,400 80,520 Segment margin 98,620 $ 40,180 $ 58,440 Common fixed expenses 55,370 Net operating income $ 43,250 The break-even in sales dollars for Division Q is closest to:
Answer:
the break even point in sales dollars is $223,667
Explanation:
The computation of the break even point in sales dollars is shown below:
= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin ratio
= $80,520 ÷ ($138,960 ÷ $386,000)
= $80,520 ÷ 36%
= $223,667
Hence, the break even point in sales dollars is $223,667
makes a product with the following standards for direct labor and variable overhead: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct labor 0.20 hours $ 26.00 per hour $ 5.20 Variable overhead 0.20 hours $ 6.20 per hour $ 1.24 In November the company's budgeted production was 6500 units, but the actual production was 6300 units. The company used 1550 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $8990. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate variance for November is:
Answer:
See
Explanation:
Given that;
Direct labor hours used to produce this output = 1,550
Actual variable overhead cost = $8,990
Variable overhead per hour = $6.2
The variable overhead rate variance for July is;
= Direct labor hours used to produce this out put × (Actual variable overhead rate per hour - Variable overhead per hour)
= 1,550 × ($8,990/1,550 - $6.2)
= 1,550 × ($5.8 - $6.2)
= 1,550 × (-$0.4)
= $620 favorable
Patty and Bob were in a romantic relationship. While they were seeing each other, Patty and Bob acquired an electronics service center, Bob paying $60,000 and Patty running all facets of the center. The center becomes very profitable. Two years later, when the romantic relationship ended, Bob goes to court for a declaration that they had no partnership because they did not have a written partnership agreement and Patty contributed no cash, she was merely an employee. Did they have a partnership
Answer:
Most states accept oral agreements when forming partnerships. This would not be an exception. the fact that Patty didn't contribute any money doesn't mean that she cannot be considered a partner. Her contribution might be her labor. Unless the partnership previously recorded Patty as an employee, then she can claim being a partner. Since no written agreement was made, profits must be divided equally.
Explanation:
The decision regarding the partnership between Patty and Bob would be as follows:
Yes, they have been partners where one has employed capital while the other has employed his entrepreneurship.
What is Partnership?A Partnership is described as an acquaintance and association that exists between two or more individuals in order to run a business.
In the given situation, although there is no written agreement between them, Bob will have an equal share in the profit of the business.
The reason behind this is that one employed his capital while the other employed his skills and efforts(entrepreneurship).
Thus, they would be considered as partners as he was not hired as an employee in the company.
