Answer:
The answer is $4,800
Explanation:
200 shares was sold short at $60 per share with initial margin of 60 percent.
200 shares x $60 per share x (1 - 0.6)
=$12,009 x 0.4
$4,800
The initial investment is therefore, $4,800(four thousand and eight hundred dollars)

You can determine a company’s cash situation by analyzing the cash flow statement. The cash flow statement also helps determine whether the company (1) is generating enough cash from its operations to make new investments and pay dividends or (2) will need to generate cash by issuing new debt or selling its assets.
Which of the following is true for the statement of cash flows?
a. It reflects cash generated and used during the reporting period.
b. It reflects revenues when earned.
Answer: a. It reflects cash generated and used during the reporting period
Explanation:
The Cash flow statement is very important and is useful to various stakeholders in a company with the most important being the Company Management itself and Creditors.
Management are able to use the Cash flow statement to see how much actual cash was spent in the year as well as how much was used. This is important because the Income statement contains entries that might show revenue that have not being received or expenses such as depreciation that did not impact the actual cash the company has. The Cash flow statement fixes this by showing those actual figures thus enabling the company to plan better.
It is also useful to Creditors so that they see if a company is able to pay them for the period.
the pure expectations theory holds, which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The maturity risk premium would be zero. b. The yield curve for Treasury securities would be flat, but the yield curve for corporate securities might be downward sloping. c. If 2-year bonds yield more than 1-year bonds, an investor with a 2-year time horizon would almost certainly end up with more money if he or she bought 2-year bonds. d. The yield curve for both Treasury and corporate bonds should be flat. e. The yield curve for Treasury securities cannot be downward sloping.
Answer: The Maturity Risk Premium would be zero.
Explanation:
The Pure Expectations Theory believes that forward rates are just a representation of what people expect Future rates to be.
For this reason therefore, it believed that the Maturity Premium is Zero amongst Long Term Treasury Securities and that the difference in interest rates attached to Treasury bonds of different maturities is simply a result of what people perceive future interest rates to look like but as for Maturity Premiums, it doesn't exist in long term Treasury Securities.
A company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's unadjusted trial balance reported the following selected amounts: Accounts receivable$363,000debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts 580debit Net Sales 808,000credit All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates that 0.6% of net credit sales are uncollectible. What amount should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared
Answer:
$4,848 will be the amount that should be debited to Bad debts expense when the adjusting entry is being prepared for the year end.
Explanation:
Since the company uses percentage of sales method for calculating bad debt, it therefore means that the bad debt expense for the year will not be charged from the opening balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts but will be charged as Net credit sales × percentage of uncollectible from credit sales.
Therefore, bad debt for the period is charged as Net credit sales × Percentage of uncollectible from credit sales
= $808,000 × 0.6%
= $4,848
Therefore, the adjusting entry for bad debt expenses at year end is;
Bad debt expense Dr $4,848
Allowance for uncollectible accounts Cr $4,848
Abburi Company's manufacturing overhead is 55% of its total conversion costs. If direct labor is $58,500 and if direct materials are $29,200, the manufacturing overhead is:
Answer:
$71,500
Explanation:
The computation of manufacturing overhead is shown below:-
We assume conversion cost = x
Conversion cost = Labor cost + manufacturing overhead
x = $58,500 + 0.55x
x = $58,500 ÷ 0.45
= $130,000
Now the manufacturing overhead is
= Conversion cost × maufacturing overhead percentage
= $130,000 × 55%
= $71,500
We simply applied the above formula
Viking Corporation is owned equally by Sven and his wife Olga, each of whom hold 160 shares in the company. Viking redeemed 80 shares of Sven's stock for $1,900 per share on December 31, 20X3. Viking has total E&P of $580,000. What are the tax consequences to Viking because of the stock redemption?

On January 1 , a company borrowed $70000 cash by signing a 9% installment note that is to be repaid with 4 annual-end payment of $21607. While the amount borrowed equals $70000 , the total payment on this note amount to $86428. Explain
Answer:
86,428 - 70,000 = $16,428
This difference of $16,428 refers to the 9% interest that was paid over the 4 years. However, the 9% is only charged on the amount that is owed whch reduces every year by a principal repayment which also comes out of the $21,607.
Year 1
Payment = $21,607
Interest = 9% * 70,000 = $6,300.
Principal repayment = 21,607 - 6,300= $15,307
Amount left to be paid = 70,000 - 15,307 = $54,693
Year 2
Payment = $21,607
Interest = 9% * 54,693 = $4,922.37
Amount left to be paid = 54,693 - (21,607 - 4,922.37) = $38,008.37
Year 3
Payment = $21,607
Interest = 9% * 38,008.37 = $3,420.75
Amount left to be paid = 38,008.37 - (21,607 - 3,420.75) = $19,822.12
Year 4
Payment = $21,607
Interest = 9% * 19,822.12 = $1,783.99
Amount left to be paid = 19,822.12 - (21,607 - 1,783.99) = $0
Interest Year 1 - 4 = 6,300 + 4,922.37 + 3,420.75 + 1,783.99
= $16,427.11 (difference due to rounding errors)

On February 5, the directors declare a 2% stock dividend distributable on February 28 to the February 15 stockholders of record. The stock's market value is $31 per share on February 5 before the stock dividend.
Required:
Prepare the stockholders' equity section after the stock dividend is distributed. (Assume no other changes to equity.)
Answer:
TVX Company
Stockholders Equity Section of the Balance Sheet, February 28
Common stock $632,400
Paid in capital in excess of par value, Common stock $449,040
Retained earnings $513,560
Total Stockholders Equity $1,595,000
Workings
Common Stock
= Common Stock + Dividends Declared
= 620,000 + ( 2% * 62,000 shares * $10 par value)
= 620,000 + 12,400
= $632,400
Paid in capital in excess of par value, Common stock
Dividends were declared based on current market value of $31 not par value of $10 so the differnce will be catered for here.
= Balance + Dividends Declared
= 423,000 + (2% * 62,000 * $21 which is differnce between par value and market value)
= 423,000 + 26,040
= $449,040
Retained earnings
= Retained Earnings - Dividends distributed
= 552,000 - (2% * 62,000 * $31)
= 552,000 - $38,440
= $513,560
A firm wishes to maintain an internal growth rate of 9 percent and a dividend payout ratio of 66 percent. The ratio of total assets to sales is constant at 1, and the profit margin is 8.1 percent. If the firm also wishes to maintain a constant debt-equity ratio, what must it be
Answer:
the constant debt-equity ratio is 2.580
Explanation:
Given:
dividend payout ratio of 66 percent= 0.66
Sustainable Growth rate of 9 percent = 0.09
profit margin is 8.1 percent= 0.081
total assets to sales is constant at 1
We need to calculate the Retention Ratio first,
which gives the percentage of a company's earnings that are not paid out in dividends but credited to retained earnings. It can be calculated using below expression,
Retention Ratio = 1 - Dividend pay-out ratio
Retention Ratio = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34
ROE i.e the return on equity which is a measure of the profitability of a business in relation to the equity can be calculated as;
Sustainable Growth rate = (ROE * Retention Ratio)/(1 - ROE*Retention Ratio)
0.09 = (ROE * 0.34/(1 - ROE*0.34)
0.09 (1 - 0.34ROE) = 0.34ROE
0.09 - 0.0306ROE = 0.34ROE
0.3094ROE = 0.09
ROE = 0.09/0.3094
ROE = 0.290 or 2.90%
debt-equity ratio can now be calculated as;
Return on Equity = Profit Margin×Total Assets to sales ratio×(1+D/E)
0.290 = 0.081*1*(1+D/E)
1 + D/E = 0.290/0.081
1 + D/E = 3.580
D/E = 3.580 - 1 = 2.580
Therefore, the constant debt-equity ratio is 2.580
Home equity line interest. Sean and Amy Anderson have a home with an appraised value of $180,000 and a mortgage balance of only $90,000. Given that an S&L is willing to lend money at a loan-to-value ratio of 75 percent, how big a home equity credit line can Sean and Amy obtain? How much, if any, of this line would qualify as tax-deductible interest if their house originally cost $100,000?
Answer:
$135,000
$75,000
Explanation:
Home value = $180,000
Loan to Value ratio = 75%
Formula: Maximum loan amount = Home value x loan to value ratio
Maximum loan amount = $180,000 x 75%
Maximum loan amount = $135,000
If the value of house is $100,000 then,
$100,000 x 75% = $75,000
$75,000 would qualify as Tax deductible interest
Last year Baron Enterprises had $350 million of sales, and it had $270 million of fixed assets that were used at 65% of capacity last year. In millions, by how much could Baron's sales increase before it is required to increase its fixed assets? a. $170.09 b. $179.04 c. $197.88 d. $188.46 e. $207.78
Answer:
Increase in sales= 188.46 million
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 350 million
Fixed assests= 270 million
Used capacity= 65%
We need to determine the increase in sales that would occupy the entire capacity.
If 350 is 65% then:
Full capacity= (100*350)/65= 538.46 million
Now, the increase in sales:
Increase in sales= 538.46 - 350= 188.46 million

Which type of investment income happens when an investor sells ownership in an equity investment that's gained value? (Select the best answer.)
capital gains
dividends
interest
equity gains
Answer:
1. Steel
2. A Mutual Fund
3. The number of shares of stock sold in a previous day
4. Capital Gains
Explanation:
1. Investment commodities are investments in raw materials or primary goods that are still to be processed such as Agricultural produce and precious metals. Steel falls under this category.
2. A Mutual Fund works by pooling the resources and monies of various people and then investing it in various companies as a single portfolio. This way even though your funds might be little, you can still be able to diversify investments and make a good return.
3. When stock is listed for sale on a particular day, its trading figures for the previous day are listed as well.
4. Capital gain is a way to gain a return when the value of your investment has increased. When you sell that asset at the new price which is higher than the price you bought it, you make a capital gain on the transaction. For instance, R. Taylor bought stock for $100 in 2005 and it is now selling at $900 and Taylor sells it, Taylor now has a capital gain of $800.
6. ABC Company announced today that it will begin paying annual dividends next year. The first dividend will be $0.10 a share. The following dividends will be $0.20, $0.30, $0.40, and $0.50 a share annually for the following 4 years, respectively. After that, dividends are projected to increase by 2.0 percent per year. How much are you willing to pay to buy one share of this stock today if your desired rate of return is 8.0 percent
Answer:
The amount willing to pay to buy one share is $6.92.
Explanation:
The announcement by company to pay annual dividend = $0.10
2nd year divident amount = $0.20
3rd year divident amount = $0.30
4th year divident amount = $0.40
5th-year divident amount = $0.50
The increase in dividend = 2 percent.
The desired rate of return = 8%
Value after year 5 = (D5 × Growth rate) / (Required rate-Growth rate)
=(0.5 × 1.02) / (0.08-0.02)
=8.5
Therefore, the current value = Future dividend and value × Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=0.1/1.08 + 0.2/1.08^2 + 0.3/1.08^3 + 0.4/1.08^4 + 0.5/1.08^5 + 8.5/1.08^5
=$6.92.

suppose that the manager of a firm operating in a perfectly competitive market average variable cost reaches its minimum value at
Complete Question:
Suppose that the manager of a firm operating in a perfectly competitive market has estimated the average variable cost function to be:
AVC = 4.0 - 0.0024Q + 0.000006Q^2 Fixed costs are $500.
Requirement:
Average variable cost reaches its minimum value at___ units of output, and the minimum value of average variable cost is $___
Answer:
Average variable cost reaches its minimum value at 200 units of output, and the minimum value of average variable cost is $3.76.
Explanation:
To find the Average Variable Cost we will have to calculate quantity and for that sake we will first of all find the point of intersection of AVC and MC to find the Quantity "Q".
So
AVC * Quantity = Total Variable Cost + Total Fixed Cost
Here
AVC = 4.0 - 0.0024Q + 0.000006Q^2
Fixed costs are $500
Total Variable Cost is TVC
Quantity is Q here
By putting values, we have:
(4.0 - 0.0024Q + 0.000006Q^2) * Q = TVC + 500
4Q - .0024Q^2 + .000006Q^3 = TVC + 500
By rearranging the above formula, we have:
TVC = 4Q - .0024Q^2 + .000006Q^3 - 500
By applying derivation rules, we have:
dTC/dQ = 4 - 0.0048Q + 0.000018Q^2
Now this equation is Marginal cost equation.
At the point of intersection of AVC and MC, both equations will equal to each other and thus we can find Q.
Mathematically,
4 - 0.0024Q + 0.000006Q^2 = 4 - .0048Q + .000018Q2
Cancelling 4 on both sides, and netting off the equation, we have:
0.0024Q = .000012Q2
1 = .000012Q2 / 0.0024Q
1 = 0.005Q
Q = 1/ 0.005 = 200 Units
By putting value of Q in AVC equation given above, we have:
AVC = 4 - 0.0024*200 + 0.000006*(200)^2
AVC = 4 - 0.48 + 0.24 = $3.76

Berry Company reported the following on the company's income statement in two recent years: Current Year Prior Year Interest expense $320,000 $300,000 Income before income tax expense 3,200,000 3,600,000
Determine the number of times interest charges are earned current year and the prior year.
Answer:
Current year=11 times
Prior year=13 times
Explanation:
Calculation for Determining the number of times interest charges are earned current year and the prior year
Using this formula
Times interest earned ratio= Income before Tax expense + Interest expense/Interest expense
Calculation for CURRENT YEAR
Current year =($3,200,000+$320,000)/$320,000
Current year =$3,520,000/$320,000
Current year=11 times
Calculation for PRIOR YEAR
Prior year=($3,600,000+$300,000)/$300,000
Prior year=$3,900,000/$300,000
Prior year=13 times
Therefore the number of times interest charges that are earned in current year will be 11 times and prior year will be 13 times .
g on january 1 playa company acquires 90 percent ownership in seaside corporation for 180,000 the fair value of noncontrolling interest what will be the amount of consolidated net assets that would be reported
The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
On January 1, Playa Company acquires 90 percent ownership in Seaside Corporation for $180,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at that time is determined to be $20,000. Seaside reports net assets with a book value of $200,000 and fair value of $200,000. Playa Company reports net assets with a book value of $480,000 and a fair value of $525,000 at that time, excluding its investment in Seaside. What will be the amount of consolidated net assets that would be reported immediately after the combination?
Answer:
$680,000
Explanation:
Since Playa Company owns 90% of Seaside Corporation, it is considered Seaside's parent company and it must include all of Seaside's assets when it presents its consolidated balance sheet.
Total net assets reported = $480,000 (Playa's net assets at book value) + $200,000 (Seaside's net assets) = $680,000
You have been appointed to lead an existing group. Your boss, who informed you of the assignment, made these comments: "These people have some real issues. They have been a problem for years. They stick together like family but never seem to get much work done." Which of these would best describe this group?
Answer:
This is a group that can be defined by its high cohesiviness and low performance norms.
Explanation:
In this case, the new leader must focus on solving this problem that already exists where team members have high cohesion, but who have a low performance with regard to compliance with internal rules and procedures.
The ideal in this case would be for the leader to review the set of company policies and standards and seek to establish new rules and procedures for living and working together.
Having a cohesive team is not a weakness for an organization, the ideal is to know how to exploit the potential of each member of that team, so that each one delivers to the company an effective job that contributes to the achievement of the objectives and organizational goals.
The manager can also invest in training, redesigning the layout of work and tasks, setting deadlines for completing activities, delivering warnings to ward off inappropriate behavior during working hours, etc.
Which of the following statements best describes how a change in a firm’s stock price would affect a stock’s capital gains yield? The capital gains yield on a stock that the investor already owns has a direct relationship with the firm’s expected future stock price. The capital gains yield on a stock that the investor already owns has an inverse relationship with the firm’s expected future stock price.
Answer: The capital gains yield on a stock that the investor already owns has a direct relationship with the firm’s expected future stock price.
Explanation:
The Capital Gains on a security refers to the increase in the price of the security from the cost that it was bought at. The Yield can therefore be calculated by dividing the difference between the Security Price now and the Security Price at cost by the Security Price at Cost.
If the price is higher than the cost, that is a Capital Gain. The reverse is a loss.
Therefore, a Company's future stock price is directly related to the Capital Gains Yield of an investor who is already holding the stock. If the future price increases, the Capital Gains Yield on that stock will go up. The reverse is true.

YellowCard Company manufactures accessories for iPods. It had the following selected transactions during 2017. (Note: For any part of this problem requiring an interest or discount rate, use 10%.)
1. YellowCard provides a 2-year warranty on its docking stations, which it began selling in 2017. During 2017, YellowCard spent $6,000 servicing warranty claims. At year-end, YellowCard estimates that an additional $45,000 will be spent in the future to service warranties related to 2017 sales.
2. YellowCard has a $200,000 loan outstanding from First Trust Corp. The loan is set to mature on February 28, 2018. For several years, First Trust has agreed to extend the loan, as long as YellowCard makes all its quarterly interest payments (interest is due on the last days of each February, May, August, and November) and maintains an acid-test ratio (also called "quick ratio") of at least 1.25. First Trust has provided YellowCard a "commitment letter" indicating that First Trust will extend the loan another 12 months, providing YellowCard makes the interest payment due on March 31.
3. During 2016, YellowCard constructed a small manufacturing facility specifically to manufacture one particular accessory. YellowCard paid the construction contractor $5,000,000 cash (which was the total contract price) and placed the facility into service on January 1, 2017. Because of technological change, YellowCard anticipates that the manufacturing facility will be useful for no more than 10 years. The local government where the facility is located required that, at the end of the 10-year period, YellowCard remediate the facility so that it can be used as a community center. YellowCard estimates the cost of remediation to be $500,000.

Answer:
warrant expense 51,000 debit
cash 6,000 credit
warranty liability 45,000 credit
--to record warrant-related accounts--
interest payable 16,667 debit
interest expense 3,333 debit
cash 20,000 credit
--to record interest expense for the loan and installment--
Manufacturing Facilities 5,192,772 debit
Cash 5,000,000 credit
Restoration Liability 192,772 credit
-- to record the payment to contractor--
Explanation:
Warranty: the additional expected expense are considered warranty laibility
Loan: we previously recorded accrued interest from March 1st to Dec 31th
That is: 200,000 x 10% x 10/12 months = 16,667 payable
At February 28th we recognize the last two month of interest
200,000 x 10% x 2/12 months = 3,333 expense
in total we have 16,667 + 3,333 = 20,000 cash outlay
Facility: the asset should add to all the cost necessary to acquire it:
As the conversion into community center is mandatory it is part of the cost:
present value of the 500,000 in ten years:
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity $500,000.00
time 10.00
rate 0.10000
[tex]\frac{500000}{(1 + 0.1)^{10} } = PV[/tex]
PV 192,771.6447
Total cost:
5,000,000 cashg + 192,772 liability = 5,192,772
Job-Order Costing and Decision Making [LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-3]
Taveras Corporation is currently operating at 50% of its available manufacturing capacity. It uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Machine-hours required to support estimated production 225,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 4,275,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 2.00
Required:
1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
2. During the year, Job P90 was started, completed, and sold to the customer for $3,700. The following information was available with respect to this job:
Direct materials 1,702
Direct labor cost $ 1,221
Machine-hours used 84
Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90.
Answer:
a. $21 per machine hours
b. $4,855
Explanation:
a. The computation of the plantwide predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Plantwide predetermined overhead rate is
= Variable overhead cost rate per machine hour + Fixed overhead cost rate per machine hour
= $2 + (fixed manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated machine hours)
= $2 + ($4,275,000 ÷ 225,000 machine hours)
= $2 + $19
= $21 per machine hour
b. Now the total manufacturing cost assigned is
Particulars Amount
Direct material $1,702
Direct labor $1,221
Variable manufacturing overhead $168
(84 × $2)
Total variable cost $3,091
Add:
Fixed manufacturing overhead
(84 × $21) $1,764
Total manufacturing cost assigned
to Job P90 $4,855
