Assume you are using the dividend growth model to value stocks. If you expect the inflation rate to increase, you should also expect: A. market value of all stocks to decrease, all else equal. B. market value of all stocks to remain constant as the dividend growth will offset the increase in inflation. C. stocks that do not pay dividends to decrease in price while dividend paying stocks maintain a constant price.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = interest rate
g = growth rate
Interest rate used is usually nominal, thus, it increases with inflation rate
We can see that the interest rate is an inverse function of the value, thus when inflation increases, interest rate increases and price declines
Example
d1 = 5
r = 10%
g = 5%
5/ (0.1 - 0,05) = 100
when interest rate increases to 20% as a result of inflation, value becomes
5 / 0.2 - 0.05 = 33.33
value decreased with increase in inflation

After implementing ABC, the company will likely find that the traditional cost allocation: Group of answer choices
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
First of all, this question is not complete and lacks the group of answer choices. However, I have found that question with complete options on the internet.
So,
The Correct option is: D
Option D = Not enough information
Reasoning:
For overestimated or underestimated or not full information required i.e. cost under traditional method and cost under activity based cost method , both information required for compare methods cost under each method.
Under Activity base costing all indirect cost is applied as per activities use by each product but under traditional method only one key factor use for applied overheads i.e. direct labor hours or machine hours etc.

The law of supply indicates that:A)the product supply curve is downsloping.B)consumers will purchase less of a good at high prices than they will at low prices.C)producers will offer more of a product at high prices than they will at low prices.D)producers will offer more of a product at low prices than they will at high prices.
Answer:
C) producers will offer more of a product at high prices than they will at low prices.
Explanation:
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.
The law of supply indicates that producers will offer more of a product at high prices than they will at low prices.
In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy move from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.
When the price level rises, the wealth effect and the interest-rate effect provide incentives for consumers to spend less. The price level of goods and services in an economy influences the exchange rate, imports and exports.
An aggregate supply curve gives the relationship between the aggregate price level for goods or services and the quantity of aggregate output supplied in an economy at a specific period of time.
The aggregate demand curve is downward sloping because production costs decline as real GDP increases. is upward sloping because a higher price level is necessary to make production profitable as production costs rise. shows the amount of expenditures required to induce the production of each possible level of real GDP. shows the amount of real GDP that will be demanded at each possible price level. g
Answer: shows the amount of real GDP that will be demanded at each possible price level.
Explanation:
The Aggregate Demand curve shows how much of real GDP is demanded at each possible price level which means that is shows the effect of the price level on real GDP.
If the price level rises, real GDP will decrease and if the price level falls, real GDP rises. This is why the aggregate demand curve is downward sloping, to reflect this inverse relationship between real GDP and price level.
High owns 60% of Low. In 2019, Low sold inventory (cost $70,000) to High for $100,000. 40% of this inventory was not sold to third parties by High until 2020. In 2020, Low sold inventory (cost $72,000) to High for $120,000. Of this inventory, $50,000 was not sold to third parties by High until 2021. In 2020, Low reports $70,000 of net income. What is the noncontrolling interest in 2020 income of Low. $24,800 $31,200 $37,200 $46,800
Answer: $24800
Explanation:
To calculate the noncontrolling interest in 2020 income of Low goes thus:
Profit reported by Low in 2020 = $70000
Add: Profit in opening stock that isn't sold to third party = ($100,000 × 40%) × 30% = $12,000
Less Profit in Opening stock that's not sold to third party = $50000 ×40% =$20000
The Total Profit will be:
= $70000 + $12000 - $20000
= $62000
Then, the noncontrolling interest in 2020 income of Low will be:
= $62000 × 40%
= $62000 × 0.4
= $24800
Paul Company had 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2021. On September 30, 2021, Paul sold 41,000 shares of common stock for cash. Paul also had 6,500 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding throughout 2021. The preferred stock is $100 par, 5%, and is convertible into 3 shares of common for each share of preferred. Paul also had 430, 7%, convertible bonds outstanding throughout 2021. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of common stock. The bonds sold originally at face value. Reported net income for 2021 was $280,000 with a 40% tax rate. Common shareholders received $1.30 per share dividends after preferred dividends were paid in 2021. Required: Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for 2021.
Answer:
A. Basic earning per share 2.24 per share
B. Diluted earning per share 2.07 per share
Explanation:
Computation for the basic and diluted earnings per share for 2021.
First step is to calculate the Weighted common share
Weighted common share = 100,000+(41,000*3/12)
Weighted common share=100,000+10,250
Weighted common share= 110,250 Shares
a) Calculation for Basic earning per share using this formula
Basic earning per share = (Net income-Preferred dividend) / Share outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Basic earning per share = [$280,000-(5%*100*6,500)/110,250
Basic earning per share=[$280,000-$32,500)/110,250
Basic earning per share=$247,500/110,250
Basic earning per share =2.24 per share
Therefore Basic earning per share for 2021 will be 2.24 per share
b) Computation for the diluted earnings per share for 2021.
Using this formula
Diluted earning per share = Adjusted net income/Adjusted diluted share
First step is to calculate the Adjusted net income
Adjusted net income = $280,000+(430*1000*7%*60%)
(100%-40%=60%)
Adjusted net income = $280,000+$18,060
Adjusted net income =$298,060
Second step is to calculate the Adjusted diluted shares
Adjusted diluted shares = 110,250 +(6,500*3)+(430,000/30)
(430*1,000=430,000)
Adjusted diluted shares = 110,250+19,500+14,333
Adjusted diluted shares = 144,083
Now let calculate Diluted earning per share by plugging in the formula
Diluted earning per share = 298,060/ 144,083
Diluted earning per share= 2.068 per share
Diluted earning per share=2.07 per share (Approximately)
Therefore The Diluted earning per share for 2021 will be 2.07 per share
Hamlet has monotonic, strictly convex, quasilinear preferences over widgets,x, and money to spend on other goods,m, wheremis the linear term. Consider a $1 increase in the price of widgets. Hamlet knows that he if he were given $20 after the price change, his new optimal bundle would give him exactly the same utility that he had before the price change. Which of the following can be concluded from this information? (You may assume that Hamlet's income is large enough that however many widgets he might want to buy, he'll still have money left over for other goods.)
A) Hamlet's compensating variation is $20.
B) Hamlet's equivalent variation is $20.
C) Hamlet's (net) consumer surplus falls by $20 due to the price change.
D) All of the above are true.
E) None of the above are true.
Answer:
A) Hamlet's compensating variation is $20.
Explanation:
Hamlet is expecting pay rise of $20 but he thinks that his utility will remain the same. Hamlet is not getting any extra benefit due to his pay rise and his utility is same, this is compensating variation because his initial utility is not changed. Compensating variation is the extra amount of money which is needed to reach to initial utility.

The following materials standards have been established for a particular product at Zoom Industries: Standard quantity per unit of output 6.3 pounds Standard price $15.10 per pound The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual materials purchased 7,650 pounds Actual cost of materials purchased $64,780 Actual materials used in production 7,150 pounds Actual output 890 units The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. What is the materials quantity variance for the month
Answer:
the material quantity variance is $23,299.30 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:
= (standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard rate
= (6.3 × 890 - 7,150) × $15.10
= (5,607 - 7,150) × $15.10
= $23,299.30 unfavorable
Hence, the material quantity variance is $23,299.30 unfavorable

When the price of a good is $5, the quantity demanded of a good is 30 units, and the quantity supplied of the good is 50 units. For every $1 decrease in the price of this good, quantity demanded rises by 5 units and quantity supplied falls by 5 units. The equilibrium price of this good is ___________and the equilibrium quantity of this good is _________ units.
Answer:
the equilibrium price is $3 and equilibrium quantity is 40
Explanation:
The computation of the equilibrium price and quantity is shown below:
Price Quantity demanded Quantity supplied
$5 30 50
$4 35 45
$3 40 40
$2 45 35
$1 50 30
The equilibrium price is the price where the quantity demanded is equivalent to the quantity supplied
So the equilibrium price is $3 and equilibrium quantity is 40
crane company purchased aa depreciatble asset for $614000 on january 1, 2018. the estimated salvage value os $56000 and the estimated useful life is 9 years. the straight-line method is used for depreciztion. in 2021, crane changed its estimates to a total useful life of 5 years with a salvage value of $92000. what is 2021 depreciation expense
Answer:
$166,000
Explanation:
The computation of the 2021 depreciation expense is shown below:
Depreciation expense is
= (Cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life
= ($614,000 - $56,000) ÷ 9
= $62000/year
Now book value as on 2021 is
= (Cost - Accumulated depreciation expense)
= $614,000 - (62000 × 3)
= $424000
Now revised depreciation expense is
= ($424,000 - $92,000) ÷ 2
= $166,000

Answer:
1. Service cost $294 million
2. Net Pension Liabiltiy $24 million
Net pension Assets $20 million
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the service cost component of pension expense for the year ended December 31
SERVICE COST ($ in millions)
Projected benefit obligation, December 31 540
Less Projected benefit obligation, January 1 ($350)
Less Interest Cost ($35)
(10%*$350)
Add Benefit payments to retirees, December 31 $69
Service cost $294
($540 - $350 - $35 + $69)
Therefore the service cost component of pension expense for the year ended December 31 will be $294
2. Calculation to determine pension liability that must be reported in the balance sheet using this formula
Pension Liabiltiy=Projected benefit obligation-Plan Assets
Let plug in the formula
Net Pension Liabiltiy=$80 million-$56 million
Pension Liabiltiy=$24 million
Therefore The pension liability that must be reported in the balance sheet will be $24 million
Calculation to determine What would JDS report if the plan assets were $100 million instead
Using this formula
Net pension Assets=Plan Assets-Projected benefit obligation
Let plug in the formula
Net pension Assets=$100 million instead-$80 million
Net pension Assets=$20 million
Therefore What would JDS report if the plan assets were $100 million instead is $20 million

Suppose you are a euro-based investor who just sold shares of a U.S. company that you had bought six months ago. You had invested 10,000 euros to buy theshares for $120 per share; the exchange rate was $1.03 per euro. You sold the stock for $171 per share and converted the dollar proceeds into euro at the exchange rate of $0.94 per euro.
Required:
Compute the rate of return on your investment in euro terms.
Answer:
The rate of return on your investment in euro terms is 56.14%.
Explanation:
Amount invested in euros = 10,000 euros
Amount invested in dollars = Amount invested in euros * Exchange rate at the time of purchase = 10,000 euros * $1.03 = $10,300
Number of shares bought = Amount invested in dollars / Cost price per share in dollars = $10,300 / $120 = 85.8333333333333
Proceeds from sales in dollars = Number of shares bought * Selling price per share in dollars = 85.8333333333333 * $171 = $14,677.50
Proceeds from sales in euros = Proceeds from sales in dollars / Exchange rate at the time of sales = $14,677.50 / $0.94 = 15,614.36 euros
Rate of return in euro terms = (Proceeds from sales in euros - Amount invested in euros) / Amount invested in euros = (15,614.36 - 10,000) / 10,000 = 0.5614, or 56.14%
Therefore, the rate of return on your investment in euro terms is 56.14%.

Which is more liquid, a savings account or a loan to a business?
The bond, which has a $1,000 face value and a coupon rate equal to 10 percent, matures in six years. Interest is paid every six months; the next interest payment is scheduled for six months from today. Assuming the yield on similar risk investments is 14 percent, calculate the current market value (price) of the bond.
Answer:
Market value of bond = 841.14
Explanation:
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate.
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Semi annual interest payment
= 10% × 1,000× 1/2 = 50
PV of interest payment
A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r- semi-annual yield = 14%/2 = 7%
n- 6× 2 = 12
= 50× (1-(1.07^(-12)/0.07
= 397.13
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = $1000 × (1.07)^(-12)
= 444.011
Step 3
Price of bond
= 397.13 +444.01

Which of the following is an effective way to deal with change and innovation? Insist on success and punish failure. Hold closely to established methods of getting the job done. Innovate by varying existing products that are already on the market. Have flexibility and adaptability. Offer different explanations for the change to different work groups.
Answer:
Have flexibility and adaptability.
Explanation:
A radical innovation also known as the disruptive innovation is an innovative approach aimed at destroying or supplanting old business strategies and models with an invention to breakthrough and change the whole industries by creating new products.
Because workgroups develop their own subcultures, intranets build a common cultural foundation that can help unify employees in different units and locations around common company values.
An effective way to deal with change and innovation is to have flexibility and adaptability.
This ultimately implies that, an entrepreneur or business owner should be flexible and adaptive to changes in the industry, as well as developing the courage to follow his or her brilliant ideas.
Members of 67 countries attended a conference on economic development hosted by an international organization based in Gent, Belgium. Attendees of the workshop learned about techniques designed to assist countries in expanding their degree of economic development. Emerging markets act as manufacturing bases for global Miltinationals Enterprises because of ________.
Answer:
High availability.of cheaper labour
Explanation:
An emerging market is defined as one that does not meet the standards of a fully developed market. For example in the area.of labour cost there is no standard set for it.
So companies can get cheap labour from these economies.
Companies like Apple and Nike have used cheap labour from emerging countries to reduce their cost of production.
Manufacturing bases are established in relatively poorer economies where the workers are willing to work for cheap wage
Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently established a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following standards for the Maze toy:Direct materials: 6 microns per toy at $1.50 per micron Direct labor: 1.3 hours per toy at $21 per hourDuring July, the company produced 3,000 Maze toys. Production data for the month on the toy follow:Direct materials: 25,000 microns were purchased at a cost of $1.48 per micron. 5,000 of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month.Direct labor: 4,000 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $88,000.Required: 1. Compute the following variances for July:a. The materials price and quantity variances.b. The labor rate and efficiency variances.
Answer:
1. a. The materials price and quantity variances
Material price variance: Standard cost per micron is $1.50 and actual cost per micron is $1.48. So, price variance is 1.48 - 1.5 = $(0.02) per micron
Quantity variance: Based on standard bill of material, Dawson Toys need 3,000 x 6 = 18,000 microns to produce 3,000 Maze toys. Actual consumption volume is 25,000 - 5,000 = 20,000 microns. So, quantity variance is 20,000 - 18,000 = 2,000 microns.
1. b. The labor rate and efficiency variances
Actual labor rate = Actual labor cost / Actual hour = 88,000/4,000 = $22 per hour.
Efficiency variance = Actual labor rate - Standard labor rate = 22 - 21 = $1 per hour.
2. Prepare a brief explanation of the possible causes of each variance.
Direct material cost variance: Total actual material cost is 20,000 x 1.48 = $29,600, higher than standard material cost of 18,000 x 1.5 = $27,000. This is mainly due to higher production waste as compared to standards.
Direct labor cost variance: Total actual labor cost is $88,000, higher than standard labor cost of 4,000 x 21 = $84,000. This is mainly due to lower labor rate per hour than expected.
Explanation:
Koczela Inc. has provided the following data for the month of May: Inventories: Beginning Ending Work in process $ 28,000 $ 23,000 Finished goods $ 57,000 $ 61,000 Additional information: Direct materials $ 68,000 Direct labor cost $ 98,000 Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 74,000 Manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process $ 72,000 Any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold. The cost of goods manufactured for May is:
Answer:
COGS= $241,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured with allocated overhead:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 28,000 + 68,000 + 98,000 + 72,000 - 23,000
cost of goods manufactured= $243,000
Now, we determine the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 57,000 + 243,000 - 61,000
COGS= $239,000
Finally, we close the under/over applied overhead to COGS:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 74,000 - 72,000
Underapplied overhead= $2,000
We need to debit COGS and credit overhead:
COGS 2,000
Manufacturing overhead 2,000
COGS= 239,000 + 2,000
COGS= $241,000
