The Reserve Company had 606 million shares of common stock outstanding at January 1, 2016. The following activities affected common shares during the year: There are no potential common shares outstanding. 2016 Feb. 27 Purchased 18 million shares of treasury stock. Oct. 30 Sold the treasury shares purchased on February 27. Nov. 29 Issued 72 million new shares. Dec. 31 Net income for 2016 is $1,200 million. 2017 Jan. 14 Declared and issued a 2 for 1 stock split. Dec. 31 Net income for 2017 is $1,200 million. Required: 1. Determine the 2016 EPS. 2. Determine the 2017 EPS. 3. At what amount will the 2016 EPS be presented in the 2017 comparative financial statements
Answer:
1. $2.00
2. $0.88
3. $1.00
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the 2016 EPS
First step is to calculate the Total Movement of shares and WACSO
Date Movement of shares Ratio WACSO(no. of shares * Ratio)
1-Jan-16 $606 million*12/12 =$606 million
28-Feb-16 (18 million)*10/12=(15 million)
31-Oct-16 18 million*2/12=3 million
30-Nov-16 72 million*1/12=6 million
Total 678 million 600 million
Now let calculate 2016 EPS
Net income $1,200 million
÷Divided by WACSO 600 million
=EPS $2.00
($1,200 million/600 million)
Therefore 2016 EPS will be $2.00
2. Calculation to determine 2017 Earnings per share
First step is to calculate the No. of shares outstanding after stock split
No. of shares outstanding as of 2017 678 million
*Stock split 2
=No. of shares outstanding after stock split 1,356 million
(678 million*2)
Now let calculate 2017 EPS
Net income $1,200 million
÷Divided by WACSO 1,356 million
=EPS 0.88
($1,200 million/1,356 million)
Therefore 2017 EPS will be $0.88
3. Calculation to determine At what amount will the 2016 EPS be presented in the 2017
First step is calculate No. of shares outstanding after stock split
Wacso based on item no. 1 600 million
*Stock split 2
=No. of shares outstanding after stock split 1200 million
(600 million*2)
Now let calculate the 2016 EPS be presented in the 2017
Net income 1200 million
÷Divided by WACSO 1200 million
=EPS 1.00
(1200 million/1200 million)
Therefore At what amount will the 2016 EPS be presented in the 2017 will be $1.00

The Carter Corporation makes products A and B in a joint process from a single input, R. During a typical production run, 50,000 units of R yield 20,000 units of A and 30,000 units of B at the split-off point. Joint production costs total $90,000 per production run. The unit selling price for A is $4.00 and for B is $3.80 at the split-off point. However, B can be processed further at a total cost of $60,000 and then sold for $7.00 per unit. In a decision between selling B at the split-off point or processing B further, which of the following items is not relevant:a. $10,000) per production run b. $96,000 per production run c. ($42,000) per production run d. $36,000 per production run
Answer: $54,000 per production run
Explanation:
As we are dealing with the decision of whether or not to process the good further, the irrelevant cost would be the cost of producing product B from input R.
This is because this cost has already been incurred to produce product B and so is a sunk cost. Sunk costs are irrelevant to the decision to process further.
30,000 units of B were made from 90,000 units R so the cost of B is:
= 30,000 / 50,000 * 90,000
= $54,000

Assume that the risk-free rate is 5.5% and the required return on the market is 12%. What is the required rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.8
Answer: 17.2%
Explanation:
You can use the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate the required return here given the variables in the question:
Required return = Risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
= 5.5% + 1.8 * ( 12% - 5.5%)
= 5.5% + 11.7%
= 17.2%

The company contracted out production of basic Lego bricks to Singapore-based electronics manufacturer Flextronics, which operates factories in Mexico and eastern Europe. Which two of the ten operations management decision types were addressed by this decision
Question Completion:
Ten Operations Management Decision Types:
a. Design of goods and services
b. Managing quality
c. Process and capacity design
d. Location strategy
e. Layout strategy
f. Human resources and job design
g. Supply chain management
h. Inventory management
i. Scheduling
j. Maintenance
Answer:
Lego
The two types of operations management decisions that were addressed by Lego's decision to end production in the US are:
d. Location strategy
g. Supply chain management
Explanation:
Lego decided to close its production facilities in the U.S.A because of the shifting customer demand. There has been a growing demand for electronics by children as against plastic toys. This is why it was able to contract out its production activities to a Singapore-based manufacturer with factories in Mexico and eastern Europe. So the company is strategically moving its production to countries that have high demand for its products and, at the same time, enjoying some tax benefits.

Danks Corporation purchased a patent for $405,000 on September 1, 2019. It had a useful life of 10 years. On January 1, 2021, Danks spent $99,000 to successfully defend the patent in a lawsuit. Danks feels that as of that date, the remaining useful life is 5 years. What amount should be reported for patent amortization expense for 2021?
Answer:
Amortization Expense for year 2021 $90,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should be reported for patent amortization for the year 2021 is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
The value of the patent as of 31st Dec, 2020
Purchase Value as of Sep 1,2019 $405000
Less:- Amortization Expense for the year 2019 $13,500
($405000 ÷ 10 × 4 ÷ 12)
Less:- amortization expense for the year 2020 $40500 ($405,000 ÷ 10)

On May 1, an additional 18,000 shares were issued. On December 1, the company purchased 4,300 shares of its own common stock and held them as treasury stock until the end of the year. No other changes in common shares outstanding occurred during the year. During the year, Ring Me Up paid the annual dividend on the 9,000 shares of 4.65%, $100 par value preferred stock that were outstanding the entire year.
Required:
Calculate basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Answer:
$2.13
Explanation:
Computation what the basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019 be
Using this formula
Basic earnings per share = Net income - preferred dividends / Weighted average no of shares outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Basic earnings per share = $143,100 - (9,000*4.65%*100) / (36,000*12/12)+(18,000*8/12) - (4,300*1/12)
Basic earnings per share = $143,100 - 41,850 / 36,000+12,000 - 358
Basic earnings per share = 101,250 / 47,642
Basic earnings per share =$2.13
Therefore the basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019 be $2.13
Vaughn Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $315,000 (units 5,000); variable costs $219,000; and fixed costs $71,600. Management is considering the following independent courses of action to increase net income. Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative. 1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume.
Answer: $55,900
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the following can be derived:
Units = 5000
Sales = $315000
Variable costs = $219,000
Fixed costs = $71,600
Selling price per unit
= 315,000/5000.
= 63
Variable expense per unit
= 219,000/5,000
= 43.8
Contribution margin per unit
= 63 - 43.8
= 19.2
We then calculate the 10% increase in selling price. This will be:
= $63 × (100% + 10%)
= $63 × 110%
= $63 × 1.10
= $69.3
Sales = 5000 × 69.3 = 346500
Less: Variable expense = 5000 × 43.80 = 219000
Contribution margin = 127500
Less: Fixed expense = 71,600
Net operating income = 55,900

If GDP is confidently expected to grow at a rapid 4% rate this year, how do you predict investment spending will change? Is it likely to grow faster than, slower than, or at the same rate as GDP? Why? Based on this expectation, investment spending is likely to by 4%. A rapidly growing economy will generally make business people optimistic, expectations about potential future profits. As a result, they are eager to invest.
Answer:
Based on this expectation, investment spending is likely to increase by more than 4%.
A rapidly growing economy will generally make business people more optimistic, with higher expectations about potential future profits. As a result, they are more eager to invest.
Investment will increase higher than 4% because in a growing economy like this, people will be so optimistic that they would invest huge sums to capitalize on the growth and earn some returns.
This rate of increase would be greater than GDP because GDP is based on multiple factors including investment therefore those factors like government spending would have to increase as well.
If the GDP is expected to be increased by 4%, the investment spending are likely to be increased by more than 4%.
In the rapid growing economy the investors are generally more optimistic they have higher expectations about the future potential profit as a result they will be more eager to invest.
What is GDP?GDP or gross domestic product final value of goods and services produced which is the economy during a financial year. The GDP excludes the value of intermediate consumption to avoid the problem of double counting.
An increasing GDP positively effect the investment spending as the people in the economy are optimistic about the future profit and hence will be eager to invest huge sums to make bigger profits.
Therefore rate of increase in investment spending will we more than 4% when the rate of GDP increases by 4%.

It is now January 1, 2013, and you are considering the purchase of an outstanding bond that was issued on January 1, 2011. It has a 7 percent annual coupon and had a 30-year original maturity. (It matures on December 31, 2040.) There were 11 years of call protection (until December 31, 2021), after which time it can be called at 108.5 percent of par, or $1,085. Interest rates have fallen since the bond was issued, and it is now selling at 115.5 percent of par, or $1,155. If you bought this bond, what rate of return would you probably earn, assuming you hold the bonds until they either mature or are called
Answer:
a. Assuming you hold the bonds until they mature, the rate of return you would probably earn is the YTM of 5.89%.
b. Assuming you hold the bonds until they are called, the rate of return you would probably earn is the YTC of 5.65%.
Explanation:
This can be determined by calculating the YTM and YTC as follows:
a. Calculation of Yield to Maturity (YTM)
The bond's 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 = 30
pmt = annual coupon payment = annual coupon rate * Face value = 7% * $1,000 = $70 = 70
pv = present value = current bond price = $1,155 = 1155
fv = face value or par value of the bond = 1000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(30,70,-1155,1000) ............ (2)
Inputting =RATE(30,70,-1155,1000) into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 5.89%.
Therefore, assuming you hold the bonds until they mature, the rate of return you would probably earn is the YTM of 5.89%.
b. Calculation of Yield to Call (YTC)
The bond's Yield to call can be calculated using the following RATE function
in Excel:
YTC = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .....................(3)
Where;
YTM = yield to call = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years of call protection = 11
pmt = annual coupon payment = annual coupon rate * Face value = 7% * $1,000 = $70 = 70
pv = present value = current bond price = $1,155 = 1155
fv = future value of the bond or the amount at which the bond can be called = $1,085 = 1085
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
YTM = RATE(11,70,-1155,1085) ............ (4)
Inputting =RATE(11,70,-1155,1085) into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 5.65%.
Therefore, assuming you hold the bonds until they are called, the rate of return you would probably earn is the YTC of 5.65%.
Atul purchased goods costing Rs 50000 at an invoice price,which is 50% above cost.. on invoice price je enjoyed 15% trade discount and Rs 3750 cash discount on cash payment of goods in lump sum at the time of purchase ...the purchase price to be recorded in the books will be
Answer: Rs 63750
Explanation:
Since Atul purchased goods costing Rs 50000 at an invoice price,which is 50% above cost. Then the purchase of the goods cost:
= 50000 × (100% + 25%)
= 50000 × 125%
= 50000 × 1.25
= Rs 75000
We then deduct the trade discount of 15% to get the purchase price to be recorded in the book. This will be:
= 75000 × (100% - 15%)
= 75000 × 85%
= 75000 × 0.85
= 63750
Therefore, the answer is Rs63750

☜(ˆ▿ˆc)On May 31, Money Corporation's Cash account showed a balance of $17,000 before the bank reconciliation was prepared. After examining the May bank statement and items included with it, the company's accountant found the following items: Checks outstanding $ 2,850 Deposits outstanding 3,200 NSF check 120 Service fees 110 Error: Money Corp. wrote a check for $50 but recorded it incorrectly for $500. What is the amount of cash that should be reported in the company's balance sheet as of May 31
Answer:
$17,460
Explanation:
The computation of adjusted cash balance is seen below;
Cash account balance
$17,000
NSF check
$120
Service fees
($110)
Amended mistake
$450
Adjusted cash balance
$17,460
The amount of cash that should be reported in the company's balance sheet as of May 31 is $17,460.
Here, the outstanding check and deposit in transit are adjustment for the bank balance and not the firm's cash accounting.
Also, we need to look for the data such as non sufficient funds, service fees etc which were not known until the bank statement was received.
Rahul needs a loan and is speaking to several lending agencies about the interest rates they would charge and the terms they offer. He particularly likes his local bank because he is being offered a nominal rate of 6%. But the bank is compounding monthly. What is the effective interest rate that Rahul would pay for the loan
Answer: 6.17%
Explanation:
When calculating the effective rate of an interest rate being compounded over a number of periods in a year, use the following:
= [ (1 + Nominal rate / Number of periods in a year) ^ Number of periods in a year- 1] * 100%
Number of periods = Compounding is monthly = 12
Effective rate = [ (1 + 6% / 12)¹² - 1 ] * 100%
= 6.17%
