Jack Flubber, who owns Sons of Flubber Construction Co., and runs it as a proprietorship, had gross profits last year of $120,000. He has $7,000 in exemptions and deductions. He paid $30,000 in taxes. If he paid himself a salary of $65,000 and a dividend of $15,000 taxed at 20%, how much he would save if he decided to incorporate as a closely held corporation with a 25% tax rate (choose the closest answer)
Answer: He won't be able to save
Explanation:
The options are:
a. He won't be able to save.
b. Around $4k
c. Around $7k
d. Around $8k
Based on the information given in the question, the amount that he'll save will be:
Firstly, we calculate the corporate tax which will be:
= ($120000 - $65000) × 25%
= $55000 × 25%
= $13750
Then, Flubber's personal tax will be:
= ($80000 - $7000) × 20%
= $73000 × 20%
= $14,600
Therefore, the total tax will be:
= $14600 + $13,750
= $28,350
Then, the total amount saved will be:
= $30,000 - $28,350
= $1650
Based on the options given, he won't be able to save.
Suppose that you are a speculator that anticipates an appreciation of the Singapore dollar (S$). You purchase a call option contract on Singapore dollars. Each contract represents S$40,000, with a strike price of $0.69 and call option premium of $0.03 per unit. Suppose that the spot price of the Singapore dollar is $0.70 just before the expiration of the call option contract. At this time, you call the contract and immediately sell the Singapore dollars to a bank at the current spot price.
Fill in the following table from your (the buyer's) perspective.
Transaction Per Unit Per Contract
Selling price of $0.92 _________
- Purchase Price of 5$ -$0.86 _________
- Premium Paid for Option -$0.02 _________
Net profit _________ _________
Answer: $1600
Explanation:
Selling price:
Per unit = $0.92
Per contract = $0.92 × 40000 = $36800
Purchase price of $5:
Per unit = -$0.86
Per contract = -$0.86 × 40000 = -$34400
Premium Paid for Option:
Per unit: -$0.02
Per contract = -$0.02 × 40000 = -800
Net profit = $36800 + (-$34400) + (-800)
= $36800 - $34400 - $800
= $1600
The net profit is $1600
A firm wants to create a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 12 percent. The firm's cost of equity is 16 percent and its pre-tax cost of debt is 6 percent. The tax rate is 20 percent. What does the debt-equity ratio (D/E) need to be for the firm to achieve its target WACC
Answer: 0.56
Explanation:
After tax cost of debt is:
= 6% * ( 1 - 20%)
= 4.8%
Assume that the weight for debt is "x" which would mean that the weight for Equity is "1 - x".
WACC = (Weight of equity * cost of equity) + (Weight of debt * After tax cost of debt)
0.12 = ( (1 - x) * 0.16) + 0.048x
0.12 = 0.16 - 0.16x + 0.048x
0.12 - 0.16 = - 0.112x
x = -0.04 / -0.112
x = 35.7%
Weight of equity = 1 - 35.7% = 64.3%
Debt to equity ratio:
= 35.7% / 64.3%
= 0.56
Using the following balance sheet and income statement data, what is the current ratio? Current assets $ 32,000 Net income $ 42,000 Current liabilities 16,000 Stockholders' equity 78,000 Average assets 160,000 Total liabilities 42,000 Total assets 120,000 Average common shares outstanding was 15,000.
Answer:
2 times
Explanation:
Current ratio is computed by dividing the total assets by the total liabilities
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Current assets = $32,000
Current liabilities = $16,000
Current ratio = $32,000 / $16,000
Current ratio = 2 times
If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually:____.
a. the increases in wheat harvested will get larger and larger.
b. average total cost will fall to zero.
c. the increases in wheat harvested will rise at a constant rate.
d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Answer:
d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Explanation:
A marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) can be defined as an economic principle which is typically used to represent the rate at which a factor such as capital must decrease so that the same level or quantity of production is maintained when another factor such as labor is changed (increased).
An isoquant is the slope of a marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) which connects the two input factors provided that the level of output or production is the same.
Also, the diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution refers to the decline (fall) in marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) along an isoquant that produces the same quantity (level) of output.
When an isoquant has a diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution, the corresponding isoquants are convex to the origin. Thus, the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) would continue to diminish as more of a factor such as capital is used.
If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Answer:
d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Explanation:
If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually: the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
The Ashford Twins hired you as a consultant to estimate the company's WACC. You have obtained the following information. (1) The company's noncallable bonds mature in 20 years, have a coupon rate of 7.00% paid annually, a par value of $1,000, and a current market price of $850. (2) The company's tax rate is 28%. (3) The required rate of return on the company's common stock based on CAPM is 10.0%. (4) The target capital structure consists of 20% debt, with the remainder comprised of common equity. What is its WACC
Answer:
9.24 %
Explanation:
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
Remember to use the After tax cost of debt :
Cost of Debt r is
Pv = - $850
Fv = $1,000
n = 20
p/yr = 1
pmt = $1,000 x 7.00% = $70
r = ??
Using a financial calculator r is 8.60 %
thus,
After tax cost of debt = 8.60 % x (1 - 0.28)
= 6.192 %
therefore
WACC = 10.0% x 80 % + 6.192 % x 20 %
= 9.2384 or 9.24 %
The company's WACC is 9.24 %

Explanation:
The W.C. Pruett Corp. has $800,000 of interest-bearing debt outstanding, and it pays an annual interest rate of 8%. In addition, it has $600,000 of common stock on its balance sheet. It finances with only debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock. Its annual sales are $2.88 million, its average tax rate is 30%, and its profit margin is 3%. What are its TIE ratio and its return on invested capital (ROIC)? Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
1. TIE ratio = EBIT / Interest expense
EBIT = [ (Annual sales x profit margin) / (1 - tax rate) ] + Amount of debt x interest rate
= [ ($2,880,000 x 3%) / (1 - 0.30) ] + $800,000 x 8%
= 187428.57143
= $187,428.57
TIE ratio = $187,428.57 / ($800,000 x 8%)
TIE ratio = $187,428.57 / $64,000
TIE ratio = 2.92857
TIE ratio = 2.93
2. ROIC = [ EBIT x (1 - tax rate) ] / (Amount of debt + common stock)
= [$187428.57 x (1 - 0.30) ] / ($800,000 + $600,000)
= 0.093714285
= 9.37%
Nelson Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in cash flow of $112,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $224,000 and have a 3 year life. If the salvage value of the equipment is estimated to be $87,000, what is the payback period
Answer:
2 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the length of time it takes for the future cash flows to equal the initial investment.
$224,000 = $112,000 + $112,000
therefore,
It takes 2 years for the cashflows to equal initial investment

Bissell Company received the following reports of its defined benefit pension plan for the current calendar year: PBO Plan assets Balance, January 1 $ 500,000 Balance, January 1 $ 258,000 Service cost 198,000 Actual return 33,000 Interest cost 36,000 Annual contribution 119,000 Benefits paid (87,000 ) Benefits paid (87,000 ) Balance, December 31 $ 647,000 Balance, December 31 $ 323,000 The long-term expected rate of return on plan assets is 10%. Assuming no other data are relevant, what is the pension expense for the year
Answer:
$205,200
Explanation:
Calculation of Pension Expense
Service Cost $198,000
Interest cost $33,000
Expected return on the plan assets ($25,800) (258000*10%)
Pension Expense $205,200
So therefore, the pension expense for the year is $205,200.
Assume that the quantity of X is measured on the horizontal axis, and the quantity of Y is measured on the vertical axis. Assume that the price of X is $60, the price of Y is $30 and Rafe has an weekly income of $180. Which of the following is true? He can afford 6 units of good Y. His budget line has a slope of 1/3. He can afford 6 units of good X. His budget line has a slope of −1/3.
Answer:
True : He can afford 6 units of good Y'
Explanation:
Budget Line is a combination of two goods, consumer can afford with entire given money income & prices.
Equation : p1 x1 +p2 x2 = m. Here p1 & p2 are prices of two goods, x1 & x2 are quantities of two goods, m is money income.
Intercept of budget line is max quantity of a good consumer can buy spending only on either good. Formula = m / p1 & m / p2
As : m = 180 , p1 (px) = 60 , p2 (py) = 30 . Intercepts (x & y) = 180 / 60 = 3 & 180 / 30 = 6 respectively.
So, 'He can afford 6 units of good Y' is True. 'He can afford 6 units of good X' is False.
Slope shows the trade off of goods, given money income & price. Formula = = p1 / p2 = px / py = 60 / 30 = (-) 2. 'His budget line slope = 1/3 or -1/3', both are False
The risk-free rate of return is 10.5%, the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 17%, and the stock of Xyrong Corporation has a beta coefficient of 1.5. Xyrong pays out 50% of its earnings in dividends, and the latest earnings announced were $13 per share. Dividends were just paid and are expected to be paid annually. You expect that Xyrong will earn an ROE of 24% per year on all reinvested earnings forever. a. What is the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock
Answer:
$88.24
Explanation:
The computation of the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock is shown below;
k = risk free rate of retunr+ beta[expected market rate of return - risk free rate of return]
= 10.5% + 1.5(17% - 10.5%)
= 20.25%
Now
growth rate = b × ROE
= .5 × 24%
= 12%
Now the intrinsic value of the stock is
= (($13 × 50%) × (1 + 0.12)) ÷ (0.2025 - 0.12)
= $88.24

As a result, Ruby estimates that only 2% of its 2019 credit sales will be written off, compared to the 4% of 2018's credit sales that were estimated to be uncollectible. At December 31, 2019, Ruby Red has a $12,800 credit balance in its allowance for doubtful accounts and credit sales of $1,570,000.
Required:
Use the percentage of credit sales method to calculate the bad debt expense.
Answer:
$31,400
Explanation:
Ruby estimates that only 2% of its 2019 credit sales will be written off
Ruby Red has a $12,800 credit balance in its allowance for doubtful accounts
Ruby Red has credit sales of $1,570,000.
Bad debt expense = Credit sales * 2% of its 2019 credit sales
Bad debt expense = $1,570,000 * 2/100
Bad debt expense = $1,570,000 * 0.02
Bad debt expense = $31,400
Padayappa has now retired after 40 years of employment. He just made an annual deposit to his investment portfolio and realized he has $2,400,000 (not counting home, cars, furniture, etc.).

What equal amount of money did he put Into his Investment at the end of each year? $[______________ Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The tolerance is + -5. What is the buying power of his $2,400,000 in terms of a base 40 years ago? $[ Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The tolerance is + -50. If he could buy a TV 40 years ago for $500, what would a comparable one cost today if the consumer electronics inflation rate is -3 percent? Carry all interim calculations to S decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The tolerance Is + -1.
Answer: a. $12,022
b. $499,896
c. $148
Explanation:
a. What equal amount of money did he put Into his Investment at the end of each year?
Let the equal amount be represented by a.
Therefore, $2,400,000 = FV(7%,40,xa
Based on the information given in the question, we'll then use excel function,
a = PMT(7%, 40, 2400000)
= 12,022
Therefore, the equal amount of money did he put Into his Investment at the end of each year is $12022.
b. What is the buying power of his $2,400,000 in terms of a base 40 years ago?
Let the buying power be represented by x.
Based on the information given in the question,
x × (100% + 4%)^40 = 2,400,000
x × (1.04)^40 = 2400000
x × 4.8010 = 2400000
4.8010x = 2400000
x = 2400000/4.8010
x = 499,895.86
x = 499,896
Therefore, the buying power is $499,896.
c. If he could buy a TV 40 years ago for $500, what would a comparable one cost today if the consumer electronics inflation rate is -3 percent?
The price of TV today will be:
= $500 × (1 - 3%)^40
= $500 × (1 - 0.03)^40
= $500 × 0.97^40
= $500 × 0.29571
= $148
Therefore, the price of the tv will be $148
On November 1, 2015, Ybarra Construction Company issued $400,000 of 5-year bonds that pay interest at an annual rate of 5%. The interest payments are due every six months (that is, the interest is compounded semi-annually). At the end of the five-year period, Ybarra must pay the bond holders a balloon payment of $400,000. a. What would the issue price of the bonds be if the prevailing interest rate is: Round answers to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
the question is incomplete, but I can give two examples of interest rate being higher or lower:
For example, interest rate is 6%
PV of face value = $400,000 / (1 + 3%)¹⁰ = $297,637.57
PV of coupon payments = $10,000 x 8.5302 (PVIFA, 3%, 10 peridos) = $85,302
Market price = $382,939.57
Second example, interest rate is 4%
PV of face value = $400,000 / (1 + 2%)¹⁰ = $328,139.32
PV of coupon payments = $10,000 x 8.9826 (PVIFA, 2%, 10 peridos) = $89,823
Market price = $417,962.32
Consider the following production and cost data for two products, L and C: Product L Product C Contribution margin per unit $ 120 $ 112 Machine minutes needed per unit 10 minutes 8 minutes A total of 60,000 machine minutes are available each period and there is unlimited demand for each product. What is the largest possible total contribution margin that can be realized each period
Answer:
$840,000

Your firm can make a product in-house for $11.50 per unit using new production equipment which would cost $30,000. Your firm could alternatively purchase the same item for $16.25 per unit using a legal contract which will cost $2000 to create and negotiate. What is the approximate break-even point
Answer:
The indifference point is 5,895 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
In-house:
Unitary variable cost= $11.5
Fixed cost= 30,000
Buy:
Unitary variable cost= $16.25
Fixed cost= 2,000
To calculate the indifference point, we need to establish the total cost formulas for each option:
In-house:
Total cost= 30,000 + 11.5x
x= number of units
Buy:
Total cost= 2,000 + 16.25x
x= number of untis
Now, we equal both formulas and isolate x:
30,000 + 11.5x = 2,000 + 16.25x
28,000 = 4.75x
5,895 = x
The indifference point is 5,895 units

A firewall is a network security protocol that monitors and controls inbound and outbound traffic based on set aside security rules.
Generally, a firewall is used to control access to a computer or network, as it creates a barrier between a computer or a network and the internet in order to protect against unauthorized access. It is a security system pre-installed on most computers to essentially inspect data being transmitted to or from a computer.
