Sports Company makes snowboards, downhill skis, cross-country skis, skateboards, surfboards, and in-line skates. The company has found it beneficial to split operations into two divisions based on the climate required for the sport: Snow Sports and Non-Snow Sports. The following divisional information is available for the past year:
Sales Operating Income Total Assests Current Liabilities
Snow Sports $57,00,000 1010,500 4,300,000 450,000
Non- Snow Sport 8500000 1332500 6500,000 750,000
Required:
a. Calculate each division's ROI.
b. Top management has extra funds to invest. Which division will most likely receive those funds? Why?
c. Can you explain why one division's ROI is higher? How could management gain more insight?
Answer:
Sports Company
a. Division's ROI:
SnowSports = 23.5%
Non-SnowSport = 20.5%
b. Naturally, management will invest in Division SnowSports. The company earns more returns on its investment in the division.
c. One division's ROI on investment because it earned more returns from the division when compared with its investment. This shows that SnowSports is more efficient than the other division in the use of resources.
Management can gain more insight by computing the Assets Turnover ratio and the operating leverage.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales Operating Total Assets Current Liabilities
Income
Snow Sports $5,700,000 1,010,500 4,300,000 450,000
Non- SnowSport 8,500,000 1,332,500 6,500,000 750,000
ROI (Return on Investments) = Operating income/Total assets * 100
Snow Sports = $1,010,500/$4,300,000 * 100 = 23.5%
Non-SnowSport = $1,332,500/$6,500,000 * 100 = 20.5%
When Crossett Corporation was organized in January, Year 1, it immediately issued 4,000 shares of $50 par, 6 percent, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $20 par common stock. Its earnings history is as follows: Year 1, net loss of $35,000; Year 2, net income of $125,000; Year 3, net income of $215,000. The corporation did not pay a dividend in Year 1.
Required:
a. How much is the dividend arrearage as of January 1, Year 1?
b. Assume that the board of directors declares a $25,000 cash dividend at the end of year 1 (remember that the year 1 and year 2 preferred dividends are due). How will the dividend be divided between the preferred and common stockholders?
Answer:
a. $0
The company was organized in January, Year 1. They do not have to pay dividends because the company just started operations. The cumulative dividends are only to be paid at the end of the period so there is no dividend arrear here.
b. Preferred shareholders are meant to get:
= 4,000 shares * 50 * 6%
= $12,000 per year
As they are owed $12,000 from the first year and are now owed for the second, the dividends they will get is:
= 12,000 + 12,000
Preferred Dividends = $24,000
Ordinary shareholders get what is left:
= 25,000 - 24,000
= $1,000
Suppose that an initial $20 billion increase in investment spending expands GDP by $20 billion in the first round of the multiplier process. Also assume that GDP and consumption both rise by $18 billion in the second round of the process. Instructions: Round your answers to 1 decimal place. a. What is the MPC in this economy
Answer: 0.9
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is calculated by using the formula:
= Change in consumption / Change in income
where,
Change in consumption = $18 billion
Change in income = $20 billion
MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income
= $18 billion / $20 billion
= 0.9
Therefore, MPC is 0.9.
Identify whether each of the following examples belongs in M1 or M2. If an example belongs in both, be sure to check both boxes.
Example M1 M2
Susan has $8,000 in a two-year certificate of deposit (CD).
Larry has a roll of quarters that he just withdrew from the bank to do laundry.
Raphael has $25,000 in a money market account.
Answer and Explanation:
The identification is as follows:
As we know that
M! money supply involved all the currecies that have physical existance i.e. notes, coins, demand deposits etc
While on the other hand, M2 involves M1 + near money i.e. mutual funds, checking deposits, money market etc
Since Susan has 2 year CD so it would be classified as a M2 money supply
Since larry withdraw from the bank so it would be included in M1 and M2
And, since raphael has $25,000 in money market so would be classified as a M2 money supply
what more, could starbucks have done, to maximize it's chances of success with laboulange
Answer:
It probably felt like the end of the line last year when Starbucks announced plans to close all 22 La Boulange pastry shops. This was the very same croissant-creating brand that Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz once publicly praised as a key to boosting the quality of Starbucks baked goods.
But for La Boulange founder Pascal Rigo, the store closure wasn’t the end. It was a new beginning. At 56, Rigo is in the midst of making one of fast-casual’s most widely watched reinventions. In Humpty Dumpty-like fashion, he is gluing the broken pieces together again and has opened five stores in the San Francisco Bay Area—with two more on the way—under the name, La Boulangerie de San Francisco.
His grand plans: to reassemble La Boulangerie as a fast-casual powerhouse by opening up some 20 to 40 locations. He also plans to enlarge its 40,000-foot baked goods facility in San Francisco that attracts business from such high-profile retail clients as Costco and, reportedly, Trader Joe’s. While it may not be quite the magnitude of what Chipotle CEO Steve Ells accomplished after buying back Chipotle from McDonald’s, the guy who founded La Boulange has a nice chunk of it back from Starbucks.How is Starbucks diversifying itself by purchasing La Boulange? y increasing its product offerings to include bakery items. How does Starbucks' current market power increase its chances for success in expanding its product offerings to include bakery items?

Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $1,708,000. The firm will raise the $1,708,000 in capital by issuing $750,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 11.1%, $78,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 12.2%, and $880,000 of equity at a cost of 14.7%. The firm faces a tax rate of 40%. What will be the WACC for this project
Answer:
11.06%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What will be the WACC for this project
First step is to calculate the Weight of Debt
Weight of Debt = $750,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Debt = 0.4391
Second step is to calculate the Weight of Preferred Stock
Weight of Preferred Stock = $78,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.0457
Third step is to calculate the Weight of Equity
Weight of Equity = $880,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Equity = 0.5152
Fourth step is to calculate After Tax Cost of Debt
After Tax Cost of Debt = 11.1% * (1 – 0.40)
After Tax Cost of Debt = 6.66%
Now let calculate WACC using this formula
WACC = (Weight of Debt * After Tax Cost of Debt) + (Weight of Preferred Stock * Cost of Preferred Stock) + (Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity)
Let plug in the formula
WACC = (0.4391 * 0.0666) + (0.0457 * 0.1220) + (0.5152 * 0.1470)
WACC = 0.02924406+0.0055754+0.0757344
WACC =0.1106*100
WACC =11.06%

what is money placed in a checking account called
Answer:
bank account
Explanation:
In order to motivate our sales force to increase sales, we decided to increase our commissions and salaries and increase marketing. At the same time, our supplier increased its prices, and we felt we could pass that cost increase on to our customers in the form of price increase. However, with the additional pressure to make sales, coupled with the increased sales price, we had to loosen credit terms on sales. We also had to lease a little more distribution space and acquire another truck to handle the volume increase. Our shipping expense relates to gasoline on deliveries. Luckily, gas prices went down from what we originally expected this year.
In the table below, classify EACH ACCOUNT on the budget according to whether the variances in the performance report are consistent or inconsistent with the client’s story, or unexplained by the client’s story. Place an "X" in the appropriate column. If the Revenue/Spending Variance and Activity Variance differ with respect to one account (i.e., one is consistent and one is inconsistent) then indicate which belongs in which column.
Consistent
Inconsistent
Unexplained
Sales revenue
Cost of Goods Sold
Commission
Shipping Expense
Bad debt expense
Salaries
Lease of distribution center
Depreciation of fleet and equip
Advertising
Office rent, phone, internet
Answer:
Sales Revenue - Inconsistent
Cost of Goods Sold - Inconsistent
Commission - Consistent
Shipping expense - Inconsistent
Bad debt expense - Unexplained
Salaries - Consistent
Lease of distribution center - Consistent
Depreciation of fleet and equipment - Inconsistent
Advertising - Consistent
Office rent, Phone, Internet - Inconsistent
Explanation:
The increase in selling price will result in change in the revenue figure. The cost of distribution is increased due to handling the addition volume. This will result in an increase in shipping expense and cost of goods sold. Salaries and commission of the staff will remain consistent as there will be no change due to increase of selling price.
you observe thundering herd common stoc k selling for $40.00 per share. the next dividen is ecoected to be $2.00, and is expected to grow at a 4% annual rate forever. If your requir4ed rate of return is 12%, you should purchase the stock? A. Yes, because the presemt value of the expected future cash flows is greater than $40 g
Answer:
no, because the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than $40
Explanation:
The computation of the share price present value is given below:
= Next dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= $2 ÷ (12% - 4%)
= $25
As we can see that the share price present value would be $25 but the stock selling price is $40 so the present value would be lower than $40 that means the stock should not be purchased

) when originally issued, an investment in bonds of Flushing Dough, Inc., promised to provide an annual coupon of 7.50%. The bonds have 4 years until maturity, a market price of $735, and are expected to pay all coupon on time. At maturity, however, the bonds are only forecasted to pay 84% of their par value. What is the likely yield to maturity on the bonds
Answer:
The likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.23%.
Explanation:
The likely yield to maturity on the bonds can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)
Where;
YTM = likely yield to maturity on the bonds = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years until maturity = 4
pmt = annual coupon payment = annual coupon rate * Face value = 7.50% * $1,000 = $75 = 75
pv = present value = market price = $735 = 735
fv = face value or par value of the bond = 1000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(40,75,-735,1000) ............ (2)
Inputting =RATE(40,75,-735,1000) into a cell in an excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 10.23%.
Therefore, the likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.23%.
Warrants exercisable at $15 each to obtain 81000 shares of common stock were outstanding during a period when the average market price of the common stock was $20. Application of the treasury stock method for the assumed exercise of these warrants in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:_________
a. 20250.
b. 81000.
c. 27000.
d. 60750.
Answer:
a. 20250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares
Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000- (81,000 × $15) ÷ $20 ]
Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000-($1,215,000÷$20)]
Diluted earnings per share=$81,000-$60,750
Diluted earnings per share=$20,250.
Therefore in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:$20,250
Sarah Sandoval is a coffee farmer trying to decide how many tons of coffee to produce. She can sell each ton of coffee for $2000. The cost of producing the first ton of coffee is $500, for the second ton, it's $1000. For each additional ton of coffee produced, the marginal cost increases by $500. How many tons of coffee should Sarah produce, and what is the total cost of her coffee production
Answer:
She will produce four tons at a total cost of $5,000
Explanation:
For each additional ton of coffee produced the marginal cost is increase by $500. This means that when Sarah reaches the fourth ton of coffee the cost of producing the ton of coffee would be $2,000.
At this point she is neither making any profit nor any loss. So, this would be her maximum limit of producing the ton of coffee.
The total cost of producing the four tons of coffee would be $5,000 ($500 for first + $1,000 for second + $1,500 for third + $2,000 for fourth).
if a bond with a $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, and a coupon interest rate of 10% was selling for $1100, then the yield to maturity on that bond is: A. is less than 10% B. is greater than 10% C. is 10% D. cannot be determined g
Answer:
a
Explanation:
the yield to maturity of a bond is the total return on a bond if the bond is held to maturity. it is the equivalent of the internal rate of return.
If the yield to maturity is greater than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a discount
If the yield to maturity is less than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a premium
If a bond’s coupon rate is equal to its yield to maturity, then the bond is selling at par.
the bond is selling at a premium as 1100 is greater than 1000. Thus, the ytm is less than 10%
Fickle Company purchased a machine at a total cost of $220,000 (no residual value) at the beginning of 2018. The machine was being depreciated over a 10-year life using the sum-of-the-years'-digits method. At the beginning of 2021, it was decided to change to straight-line. An accompanying disclosure note would include each of the following except: Multiple Choice The cumulative effect of the change. Justification that the change is preferable. The effect of a change on per share amounts affected for all periods reported. The effect of a change on any financial statement line items affected for all periods reported.
Answer:
Fickle Company
An accompanying disclosure note would include each of the following except:
The effect of a change on per share amounts affected for all periods reported.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Total cost of machine = $220,000
Useful life of machine = 10 years
Method of depreciation = the sum-of-the-years'-digits method
b) The sum-of-the-years'-digits method of depreciation adds up the years (e.g. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) to obtain 55 as the sum-of-the-years'-digits denominator. Each year's depreciation is then based on the number of years remaining. For example, the depreciation expense for year 1 will be $40,000 (10/55 * $220,000).
In disclosing this change in accounting method, that is, from the sum-of-the-years'-digits method to the straight-line method of depreciation, Fickle does not need to disclose the effect of the change on per share basis.

Cool Compartments Inc. has offered to sell 20,000 ice-makers to Refrigerator Company for $28 per unit. If Refrigerator accepts Cool Compartments' offer, the facilities used to manufacture ice-makers could be used to produce water filtration units. Revenues from the sale of water filtration units are estimated at $80,000, with variable costs amounting to 60% of sales. In addition, $6 per unit of the fixed overhead associated with the manufacture of ice-makers could be eliminated. For Refrigerator Company to determine the most appropriate action to take in this situation, the total relevant costs of make vs. buy, respectively, are:____.
a. $600,000 vs. $560,000.
b. $648,000 vs. $528,000.
c. $600,000 vs. $528,000.
d. $680,000 vs. $440,000.
Answer:
c. $600,000 vs. $528,000.
Explanation:
The computation of the relevant cost of make & buy is given below:
Total relevant cost of making the product is
= (cost per unit - unavoidable fixed cost per unit ) × 20,000 units
= ($34 - $4 ) × 20,000 units
= $600,000.
And, Total relevant cost of buying is
= (cost of buy per unit × 20,000 units ) - Contribution sale of water filtration = ( $28 × 20,000 units ) - ($80,000 - 60% of $80,000)
= $528,000
hence, the option c is correct

Budgeted billable rate per hour $800 $210
Budgeted variable cost per hour 375 120
Budgeted billable hours 5,000 20,000
Budgeted revenue $4,000,000 $4,200,000
Budgeted variable cost 1,875,000 2,400,000
Actual revenue $4,264,000 $4,510,000
Actual billable hours 5,200 22,000
Actual billable rate per hour $820 $205
Budgeted billable rate per hour $800 $210
Variance in price $20 ($5)
Sales price variance $104,000 ($110,000) ($6,000)
Sales price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual billable hours
= ($800 - $820) * 5,200 + ($210 - $205) * 22,000
= $20 * 5,200 + ($5) * 22,000
= $104,000 - 110,000
= $6,000 U
Activity variance = (Actual billable hours - Standard billable hours) * Standard rate
= (5,200 - 5,000) * $800 + (22,000 - 20,000) * $210
= (200 * $800) + (2,000 * 210)
= $160,000 + 420,000
= $580,000 F

Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product S47 that would increase the variable costs by $2.00 per unit and that would require an investment of $15,000.00 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:
Answer:
$5,370
Explanation:
Missing word: "A customer has requested that Lewelling Corporation fill a special order for 2,100 units of product S47 for $26 a unit. While the product would be modified slightly for the special order, product S47's normal unit product cost is $19.20:
Direct materials $5.70, Direct labor 3.00, Variable manufacturing overhead 2.80, Fixed manufacturing overhead 7.70, Unit product cost $19.20"
Incremental analysis
Incremental revenue (2100*26) $54,600
Incremental cost
Direct material (2100*$5.7) $11,970
Direct labor (2,100*$3) $6,300
Variable manuf. overhead (2,100*$80) $5,880
Additional cost (2100*$2.00) $4,200
Special molds $15,000
Total incremental cost $49,230
Incremental profit (loss) $5,370
The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be $5,370.

The net income reported on the income statement for the current year was $225,000. Depreciation recorded on plant assets was $38,000. Accounts receivable and inventories increased by $2,000 and $8,000, respectively. Prepaid expenses and accounts payable decreased by $1,000 and $11,000 respectively. How much cash was provided by operating activities
Answer:
The amount of cash provided by operating activities is $243,000.
Explanation:
The amount of cash provided by operating activities can be calculated as follows:
Cash provided by operating activities = Net income + Depreciation - Increase in accounts receivable - Increase in inventory + Decrease in prepaid expenses - Decrease in accounts payable
Cash provided by operating activities = $225,000 + $38,000 - $2,000 - $8,000 + $1,000 - $11,000
Cash provided by operating activities = $243,000
Therefore, the amount of cash provided by operating activities is $243,000.

Secondary market can be defined as a market where various investors sell and buy securities from other investors.
Some examples of secondary market around the world are New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, London Stock Exchange (LSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE).
On the other hand, the primary market refers to the market where these securities that are being sold are issued or created.
In trading and investment, a stock option can be defined as a contract that states that the buyer as the right to buy (call) or sell (put) an asset at a particular price at any time but necessarily obligational. Thus, it is strictly at the discretion of the buyer (investor).
Generally, in a long (buy) position, a buyer hopes that the price of stocks will rise because he or she will typically profit from a rise in price.
However, a short (buy) position, a buyer hopes that the price of stocks will fall because he or she will typically profit from a fall in price.
A spot rate is the cash or exchange rate placed on a contract in the stock exchange market.
When the existing spot rate exceeds the exercise price, a call option is in the money, and a put option is out of the money.

In 1993, Sheffield Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,340,000 and first occupied it in January 1994. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $69,600 at the end of that time.
Early in 2004, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $585,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $23,400.
In 2022, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2053, or 20 years beyond the original estimate.
Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2022. (Round answer to 0 decimal places)
Annual depreciation expense—building ___________
Answer:
Annual depreciation expense is $23,547
Explanation:
In the year 2022 the cost of the building will be written down value.
Using straight line depreciation method : (Cost - Salvage value ) / Useful life
Depreciation in 1994 = ( 2,340,000 - 69,600 ) / 40 years = 56,760
There is addition construction in year 2004 the carrying value of the building will be :
2,340,000 - ( 56,760 * 20 ) = 1,204,800
Depreciation in 2004 : ( 1,204,800 + 585,000 ) - 23,400 / 30 years = 58,880
Carrying value on 2022 :
1,789,800 - ( 58,880 * 18 years) = 729,960
Depreciation expense in 2022:
729,960 / 31years = $23,547
Jefferson Inc. (JI) is a relatively new company that wants to improve its employee rewards, compensation, and benefits. The company understands that there are effective reward systems that will motivate employees. However, JI management is not sure which would be the best for the company.
