Answer:
The incremental cash flow from selling the machine is $738,657
Explanation:
In order to calculate the incremental cash flow from selling the machine we would have to calculate the following formula:
incremental cash flow = sale price - (sale price - book value)*tax
Book value = $1,150,000 - $1,150,000/7*3
Book value =$657,142.86
Therefore, incremental cash flow =$793,000-($793,000-$657,142.86 )*40%
incremental cash flow =$738,657
The incremental cash flow from selling the machine is $738,657

B. DR Cash 240 CR Dividend income 240.
C. DR Cash 2,400 CR Dividends receivable 2,400.
D. DR Dividends receivable 2,400 CR Dividend income 2,400.
Answer:
D. DR Dividends receivable 2,400 CR Dividend income 2,400.
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Dividend receivable Dr $2,400
To Dividend income $2,400
(Being the receipt of the baker dividend is recorded)
For recording this we debited the dividend receivable as it increased the balance of dividend and credited the dividend income as it also increased the income
Therefore option D is correct

Notes Payable _____
Interest Expense______
Interest Payable______
Cash ____________.
Please see explanatory column for answer.
Explanation:
To calculate accrued interest on December 31st
we use Interest = Principal x Rate x Time
where time = November 7 to December 31 = 54 days.
Interest = $150,000 x 10% x 54/360= 150,000 x 0.10 x 54/360= $2,250
Journal entry to record the accrued interest expense at December 31
Date Account Debit Credit
December 31 interest expense $2,250
Interest payable $2,250
b) To calculate payment of note at maturity date.
the borrowed cash will be paid in 90 days which means fromn November 7 of the previous year to Feb 5 of the next year = 90
using Interest = P XRX T
150,000 X 10% X 90/360= $3,750
Journal entry to record the payment of the note at maturity. which is on February 5th of the next year.
Date Account Debit Credit
February 5 Notes payable $150,000
Interest expense $1,500
Interest payable $2,250
Cash $153,750
Calculation: interest expense = $3,750- $2,250= $1500 This is because even though the total accrued interest was $3,750, only $2,250 was payable remaining $1,500 as the new interest expense for maturity date.

Anderson Crossing Investments, Inc., was a family-owned property investment organization, investing in undeveloped properties when prices were low and then selling them when prices went up. Among its holdings, Anderson Crossing owned fifty acres of undeveloped land next to another fifty acres of undeveloped land owned by Kortney Branson. William Hill, property manager for Anderson Crossing, approached Branson and offered to purchase her fifty acres "for Anderson." Branson sold the property for $50,000. Within one year, Anderson Crossing sold its 100 acres, including the property bought from Branson, to a developer for $1,000,000. Richard Anderson, a 5% owner of Anderson Crossing Investments and an old high school acquaintance of Branson, saw her at the mall and told her of the recent sale. Furious that she had lost out on the income and convinced that Hill had misled her, Branson sued Richard Anderson for the acts of his agent, Hill. Branson argued that the facts were sufficient to create an agency by estoppel to impose liability on Richard Anderson.
a. The land in this case was originally owned by:______
b. At the time of sale to the mall, the land in this case was owned by:________
c. Richard Anderson was a________ owner of Anderson crossing investment Inc.
Answer:
Anderson Crossing Investments, Inc.
a. The land in this case was originally owned by:______
Kortney Branson.
b. At the time of sale to the mall, the land in this case was owned by:________
Anderson Crossing Investments, Inc.
c. Richard Anderson was a__limited liability______ owner of Anderson Crossing Investment Inc.
Explanation:
Anderson Cross Investment Inc. is a corporation in which stockholders enjoy limited liability. Moreover, Anderson Cross Investment Inc. is separate from the owner, Richard Anderson under the Entity concept and separation of ownerships. Hill is not an agent of Richard Anderson but Anderson Crossing Investments, Inc.
But specifically, limited liability describes the condition that prevails when an entity suffers loss in business. The implication is that the loss that an owner or shareholder of an entity may suffer is limited to the capital invested in the business. A stockholder's liability arising from his shareholding in the entity does not extend to his personal assets. So, the concept considers the extent to which a company shareholder or director is financially responsible for the company's debts. The owners cannot be sued for the debts of the entity unless they have given their personal guarantees or a competent court of law lifts the corporate veil under specific circumstances.
The corporate veil, according to businessdictionary.com, is "a legal concept that separates the personality of a corporation from the personalities of its shareholders, and protects them from being personally liable for the company's debts and other obligations."
If Kortney Branson is serious in making a legal issue of the matter, she should sue the company that bought the land from her. She can then join Hill and Richard Anderson if she wishes, though the two can submit "no case submissions."
Moss Co. issued $780,000 of five-year, 11% bonds, with interest payable semiannually, at a market (effective) interest rate of 10%. Determine the present value of the bonds payable, using the present value tables in Exhibit 5 and Exhibit 7. Round to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
$810,113.2678
Explanation:
The computation of the present value of the bond payable is shown below:
= Issued amount × discount factor of 5% at 10 years + Issued amount × half of the bond interest × PVIFA factor of 5% at 10 years
= $780,000 × 0.613913254 + $780,000 × 5.5% × 7.7217
= $478,852.3378 + $331,260.93
= $810,113.2678
Refer to the discount factor table and PVIFA factor table

If the wheels are purchased from the outside supplier, $24,000 of annual fixed overhead could be avoided and the facilities now being used could be rented to another company for $57,900 per year. Direct labor is a variable cost. If Talbot chooses to buy the wheel from the outside supplier, then annual net operating income would
Answer:
If the part is bought, the company will save $50,400. In other terms, net income will increase by $50,400.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Talbot's costs to produce 210,000 wheels annually are:
Direct materials $42,000
Direct labor $63,000
Variable manufacturing overhead $31,500
Avoidable fixed manufacturing overhead= 24,000
An outside supplier has offered to sell Talbot similar wheels for $0.80 per wheel.
If the wheels are purchased from the outside supplier, $24,000 of annual fixed overhead could be avoided and the facilities now being used could be rented to another company for $57,900 per year.
First, we need to calculate the total cost of production:
Total cost= 42,000 + 63,000 + 31,500 + 24,000= $160,500
Now, the total cost of buying:
Total cost= 210,000*0.80 - 57,900= $110,100
If the part is bought, the company will save $50,400.

Explanation:
Build interest in your sales message by developing your central selling points with rational, emotional, or dual appeals. Rational appeals are appropriate when a product is, for example, important to health. Emotional appeals are appropriate when a product is, for example, essential . Whether using rational or emotional appeals, remember to translate cold facts into warm feelings and reader benefits.
For an effective marketing message, it is necessary that rational, emotional or double appeals are correctly directed to the rational and irrational thoughts that the products arouse in the consumer.
For a health product, there must be a rational appeal, as the information contained in the sales message must be real, detailed and secure.
For an essential product, it is important that there is an emotional appeal to create feelings and expectations in the customer that make him want to obtain such a product.
Whether using rational or emotional appeals, remember to translate cold facts into warm feelings and reader benefits.
ix months ago, you purchased 2,900 shares of ABC stock for $32.58 a share. You have received dividend payments equal to $.70 a share. Today, you sold all of your shares for $35.26 a share. What is your total dollar return on this i
Answer:

Kruger Designs hired a consulting firm 3 months ago to redesign the information system that the architects use. The architects will be able to use state of the art computer- aided design (CAD) programs to help in designing the products. Further, they will be able to store these designs on a network server where they and other architects may be able to call them back up for future designs with similar components. The consulting firm has been instructed to develop the system without disrupting the architects. In fact, top management believes that the best route is to develop the system and then to introduce it to the architects during a training session. Management does not want the architects to spend precious billable hours guessing about the new system or putting work off until the new system is working. Thus, the consultants are operating in a back room under a shroud of secrecy.
Required:
a. Do you think that management is taking the best course of action for the announcement of the new system?Why?
b. Do you approve of the development process? Why?
Explanation:
a) Yes, because management is acting in such a way that the development of the new system implemented does not cause problems or disturbances to the work of architects. Management's goal is to present architects with the new system already developed by consultants and more efficient, which can also help in resisting changes that architects could face, so management is taking the best course of action for the announcement of the new system.
b) No. Because in my opinion, for management to take the best course of action for the process of developing the new system, first the main users of the system should be advised about changes that could occur in the system due to the operation of the consultants, because the work of architects could be harmed in any way, so business decisions must be clearly communicated when it involves the progress of third party activities.
A building was purchased for $67,000. The asset has an expected useful life of eight years and depreciation expense each year is $6,000 using the straight-line method. What is the residual value of the building
Answer:
The residual value of the building is $19000
Explanation:
depreciation expense=cost-residual value/useful life
cost is $67,000
useful life is 8 years
residual value is unknown
$6000=$67,000-x/8 years
$6000* 8 years=$67,000-x
$48,000=$67,000-x

x=$19,0000
The residual value of the asset is $19,000
Current and Quick Ratios The Nelson Company has $1,250,000 in current assets and $500,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $400,000, and it will raise funds as additional notes payable and use them to increase inventory. How much can Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) increase without pushing its current ratio below 1.2
Answer:
Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) can increase by $541,667 without pushing its current ratio below 1.2.
Explanation:
We know that the formula for calculating the current ratio is as follows:
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities .................... (1)
Where;
Existing Current assets = $1,250,000
Existing current liabilities = $500,000
Existing Current ratio = $1,250,000 / $500,000 = 2.50
Since we want to keep the current assets at $1,250,000, and targeted current ratio is 1.2; we want to determine the following:
Targeted current liabilities = ?
We therefore also use and substitute into equation (1) as follows:
Targeted current ratio = Existing Current assets / Targeted current liabilities
Therefore, we have:
1.2 = $1,250,000 / Targeted current liabilities
Solving for Targeted current liabilities, we have:
Targeted current liabilities = $1,250,000 / 1.2 = $1,041,667
Therefore, we have:
Targeted increase in short-term debt = Targeted current liabilities - Existing current liabilities = $1,041,667 - $500,000 = $541,667
Therefore, Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) can increase by $541,667 without pushing its current ratio below 1.2.

Consider the three theories of the upward slope of the short-run aggregate-supply curve. According to the sticky-wage theory, the economy recovers from a recession as nominal wages are adjusted so that real wages . True or False: According to the sticky-price theory, the economy is in a recession because not all prices adjust quickly. True False True or False: According to the misperceptions theory, the economy is in a recession when the price level is above what was expected. True False
Answer:
The three theories are all True.
Explanation:
Solution
(1) True
The sticky wage theory: As stated by the sticky wage theory the reimburse of employees tends to have a steady response to the changes in the performance of the economy or the organization.
Precisely wages are frequently said to be sticky- down, this means that they can go up easily but come down only with difficulty.
Without stickiness, wages would always adjust in more or less real-time with the market and bring about constant economic equilibrium.
(2) True
Sticky price theory: The logic behind sticky price theory is the same as sticky wage theory but with in terms to the price of goods.
Menu costs produce stickiness in prices because of the cost and time considered to change the price, such as costs of printing new sales materials and distributing catalogs and the time needed for a retailer to change price tags.
Businesses will at the time being minimize the quantity supplied until they can get prices unstuck.
(3) True
Misperception theory : This theory presents changes in the total price level at the moment mislead the suppliers about what is happening in the markets in which they sell their goods. they make an inaccurate assumption that their relative prices have also declined.
.
According to the sticky-wage theory, the economy recovers from a recession as nominal wages are adjusted so that real wages is a true theory. According to the sticky-price theory, the economy is in a recession because not all prices adjust quickly wages is a true theory. And, According to the misperceptions theory, the economy is in a recession when the price level is above what was expected is also a true theory. This can be further explained as follows:
1. According to the sticky wage theory, employee compensation tends to be stable in response to changes in the economy or the organization's performance. Wages are commonly described as sticky-down, which suggests that they can easily rise but only fall with difficulty. Lacking stickiness, salaries always would adapt in real time with the marketplace, bringing economic equilibrium to a halt.
2. Sticky price theory: Sticky price theory is based on the same logic as sticky wage theory, but it applies to the price of things. Due to the obvious time and cost required to change the price, like the costs of printing new sales material and circulating catalogues, as well as the time required for a merchant to adjust price stickers, menu costs induce stickiness in prices. Companies will decrease the amounts supplied for the term being till they can get their prices unstuck.
3. Variations in the overall level of prices at the time confuse vendors of what is occurring in the marketplaces where they sell their products, according to the misperception theory. People make the mistake of assuming that their comparable prices have decreased as well.
Therefore, it can be concluded that all of the given theories are correct in the economic situations.

Ship Co. produces storage crates that require 34.0 meters of material at $0.20 per meter and 0.30 direct labor hours at $19.00 per hour. Overhead is applied at the rate of $16 per direct labor hour. What is the total standard cost for one unit of product that would appear on a standard cost card?
Answer:
Total standard cost = $103.7
Explanation:
Standard cost is the sum of the standard material cost , standard labour cost and standard overhead
Overhead = OAR × direct labour hour
= $16 × (0.30×$19.00)= 91.2
Standard cost = (34.0×$0.20) + (0.30×$19.00) + 91.2 = $103.7

Increased Efficiency, Inc. is looking for ways to shorten its cash conversion cycle. It has annual sales of $36,500,000, or $100,000 a day on a 365-day basis. The firm's cost of goods sold is 65% of sales. On average, the company has $9,000,000 in inventory and $8,000,000 in accounts receivable. Its CFO has proposed new policies that would result in a 20% reduction in both average inventories and accounts receivable. She also anticipates that these policies would reduce sales by 10%, while the payables deferral period would remain unchanged at 40 days. What effect would these policies have on the company's cash conversion cycle
Answer and Explanation:
The cash conversion cycle refers to the cycle which includes the days inventory outstanding and days sales outstanding and deduct the days payable outstanding
The cash cycle = Days inventory outstanding + days sale outstanding - days payable outstanding
The computation is shown in the attachment below:
As we can see in the attachment the new proposed policy i.e 234.19 days would decrease the cash conversion cycle by 24.27 days as compared with the current proposal policy i.e 258.46 days
Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is pequals 160minus2 q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $20 , which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing . (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer:
Club membership fee of $60 would maximize profit.
If the club charges tow part pricing the maximum revenue can be $3500.
Explanation:
Joe has entered into a monopoly because he is owner of single golf course in the Northlands.
Demand function for Joe's golf course is:
P = 160 - 2q
P = $20 , q = 50
160 - 2 (50) = 60
Consumer surplus = 0.5 * equilibrium quantity
Consumer Surplus for Joe is ; 0.5 * 50 (160 - 20) = $3500
If MR = MC then demand function will become :
160 - 4q
If q = 25 then
160 - 4 * 25 = 60
(Appendix 11.1) Depreciation for Financial Statements and Income Tax Purposes Dinkle Company purchased equipment for $50,000. The equipment has an estimated residual value of $5,000 and an expected useful life of 10 years. Dinkle uses straight-line depreciation for its financial statements. Required: What is the difference between the company's income before taxes reported on its financial statements and the taxable income reported on its tax return in each of the first 2 years of the asset's life if the asset was purchased on January 2, 2016, and its MACRS life is 5 years?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For year 1
According to the Company's Books Depreciation
= (Orginal Cost - Salvage value) ÷ useful Life
= ($50,000 - $5,000) ÷ 10 years
= $4,500
According to the Income Tax Depreciation
= Cost × MACRS Rate for Year 1
= $50,000 × 20%
= $10,000
So, the difference in year 1 is
= $10,000 - $4,500
= $5,500
For year 2
According to the Company's Books Depreciation
= (Orginal Cost - Salvage value) ÷ useful Life
= ($50,000 - $5,000) ÷ 10 years
= $4,500
According to the Income Tax Depreciation
= Cost × MACRS Rate for Year 2
= $50,000 × 32%
= $16,000
So, the difference in year 1 is
= $16,000 - $4,500
= $11,500

Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the cost od merchandised sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale is presented in the attachment below;
The perpetual inventory is the system which updated the inventory as on a regular basis
While on the other hand, the weighted average cost method is the method in which the average cost is calculated after each every purchase is made
In the calculation below:
1. The weighted average cost of $30.90 come from
= (Total inventory cost) ÷ (Total quantity)
= ($180,000 + $1,674,000) ÷ (60,000 units)
= $30.90
1. The weighted average cost of $31.60 come from
= (Total inventory cost) ÷ (Total quantity)
= ($463,500 + $674,100) ÷ (36,000 units)
= $31.60
Grand Canal Incorporated issued 10-year bonds six years ago with an annual coupon rate of 9.625% APR. The bonds have a face value of $1,000.00 each and were issued at par value. Today, investors want a 5.99% return for bonds of similar risk and maturity. What is the current market price of Grand Canal bonds
Answer:
$1,125.98
Explanation:
market price of the bonds = present value of face value + present value of coupons
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 0.0599)⁴ = $792.39
PV of coupons = coupon x {1 - [1/(1 + r)ⁿ]} / r = 96.25 x {1 - [1/(1 + 0.0599)⁴]} / 0.0599 = 96.25 x 3.34659 = $333.59
market value = $792.39 + $333.59 = $1,125.98
Summit Systems has an equity cost of capital of 11.0 %, will pay a dividend of $1.50 in one year, and its dividends had been expected to grow by 6.0 % per year. You read in the paper that Summit Systems has revised its growth prospects and now expects its dividends to grow at a rate of 3.0 % per year forever.
A. What is the new value of a share of Summit Systems stock based on this information?
B. If you tried to sell your Summit Systems stock after reading this news, what price would you be likely to get? Why?
Answer:
A) The new value of a share of Summit Systems stock based on this information is $17.65
B) $17.65. This is due to the fact that If the information about Summit Systems has reached the capital market, the revised growth rate has already been applied.
Explanation:
Given:
Equity cost of capital = 11.0 %
Dividend in one year = $1.50
Dividends growth per year = 6.0 %
A) If expected growth rate is 6.0%:
Value of share = Expected dividend ÷ (Cost of capital - Growth rate)
Value of share = $1.50 ÷ (0.1150 - 0.060)
Value of share = $27.27
If expected growth rate is 3.0%:
New_Value of share = Expected dividend ÷ (Cost of capital - Growth rate)
New_Value of share = $1.50 ÷ (0.1150 - 0.030)
New_Value of share = $17.65
Malmentier SA stock is currently priced at $85, and it does not pay dividends. The instantaneous risk-free rate of return is 5%. The instantaneous standard deviation of Malmentier SA stock is 25%. You want to purchase a put option on this stock with an exercise price of $90 and an expiration date 30 days from now. According to the Black-Scholes OPM, you should hold __________ shares of stock per 100 put options to hedge your risk.
Answer:
you should hold 76 shares of stock per 100 put options to hedge your risk.
Explanation:
Current stock price, S = $85
Risk-free rate of return, r = 5%
Standard Deviation, v = 25%
Exercise price, X = $90
expiration date, t (in years) = 30 days = 1 month = 1/12 = 0.083333 years
The option price (OP) is given by the formula:
[tex]OP = Xe^{-rt} * N(-d_{2} ) - S*N(-d_1)[/tex]
[tex]d_1 = [ln(S/X) + (r + v^{2} /2)t]/vt^{0.5}\\d_1 = [ln(85/90) + (0.05 + 0.25^{2} /2)*0.08333]/(0.25*0.08333^{0.5})\\d_1 = -0.6982[/tex]
[tex]d_2 = d_1 - (vt^{0.5})\\d_2 = -0.6982 - (0.25*0.08333^{0.5})\\d_2 = -0.7704[/tex]
Using the pro-metric calculator for the cumulative normal distribution:
N(-d1) = N(- (-0.6982)) = N(0.6982) = 0.75747
N(-d2) = N(-(-0.7704)) = N(0.7704) = 0.77947
[tex]OP = Xe^{-rt} * N(-d_{2} ) - S*N(-d_1)[/tex]
[tex]OP =[ 90e^{(-0.05*0.08333)} * 0.77947] - (85*0.75747)\\OP = 5.48[/tex]
Note that N(-d₁) = 0.76
This means that 76/100 (i.e to hedge your risk, you should hold 76 per 100 put options )

On January 1, 2016, Pearson Corp has beginning inventory of 240 surfboards. Pearson estimates it will sell 400 units during the first quarter of 2016 with a 5.00% increase in unit sales each quarter. Each surfboard is sold for $200.00. How much is budgeted sales revenue for the third quarter of 2016?
Answer:
Pearson Corp
Budgeted Sales Revenue for the third quarter of 2016:
The budgeted sales revenue = $88,200 (441 x $200)
Explanation:
If First Quarter Sales = 400 units
Second Quarter Sales = 420 units (400 x 1.05)
Therefore, Third Quarter Sales = 441 units (420 x 1.05)
Another way to work it out is to compound the rate for two years:
(1.05)ⁿ = (1.05)∧2 = 1.1025
Sales in first quarter = 400 x $200 = $80,000
Sales in third quarter = $80,000 x 1.1025 = $88,200
The compounding of the rate of increase yield a compound factor that can be applied to the value of the sales in the first quarter to arrive at a sales value for the third quarter without working out the sales value for the second quarter also.
