Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Particulars Amount($)
Sales 1,033,000
Less:- Cost of goods sold (503,000)
Gross Profit 530,000
Less:- Depreciation (103,000)
EBIT 427,000
Taxes [40% of 427000] (170,800)
Earnings 256,200
1]Proforma earnings = $256200
2]Proforma free cash flow = Earnings + Depreciation
= $256,200 + $103,000
= $359,200
The proforma earnings is $256200 , and the pro-forma free cash flow is the value of earnings before depreciation. Hence the value is $359,200.
Pro Forma income statementwe are provided with the information about:
Sales = 1,033,000
Cost of goods sold = 503,000
Gross Profit = 530,000
Depreciation = 103,000
We need to find, the net profit,
Net Profit = Gross Profit - Depriciation
Net profit = 530000 - 103000 = 427000
Earnings is the amount after deduction of Tax rate (40%)
= 40% of 427000 = 170,800
Earnings = 427000 - 170800 = 256,200
Therefore the Proforma Earning is 256,200, Proforma free cash flow = Earnings + Depreciation
= $256,200 + $103,000
= $359,200
Your Question is incomplete, the complete question is:
Our proforma income statement shows sales of $1,033,000, cost of goods sold as $503,000, depreciation expense of $103,000, and taxes of $170,800 due to a tax rate of 40%. what are your proforma earnings? what is your proforma free cash flow?

A company, which is currently operating at full capacity, has sales of $2,480, current assets of $820, current liabilities of $510, net fixed assets of $1,670, and a 5 percent profit margin. The company has no long-term debt and does not plan on acquiring any. The company does not pay any dividends. Sales are expected to increase by 10 percent next year. If all assets, short-term liabilities, and costs vary directly with sales, how much additional equity financing is required for next year
Answer:
$61.60
Explanation:
Equity funding need = Projected assets - Projected liabilities - Current equity - Projected increase in retained earnings
Equity funding need = $2,739 - $561 - $1,980 - $136.40
Equity funding need = $61.60
Workings
Projected assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) * 1.10 = 820+1,670 * 1.10 = $2,739
Projected liabilities = Current liabilities * 1.10 = 510 * 1.10 = $561
Current equity = Current assets + Fixed assets - Current liabilities = 820 + 1,670 - 510 = $1,980
Projected increase in retained earnings = Sales*5% * 1.10 = $2,480*5% * 1.10 = 124*1.10 = $136.40
a. Why do some price controls help create black markets?
b. What is a black market you have personally seen?
Answer:
Price ceiling creates black markets
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price of a good or service. Price ceiling is binding if it is set below equilibrium price.
When a binding price floor is established, producers would earn less profits and as a result they would stop selling their products in the free markets. This would lead to scarcity and a result a black market can emerge. Goods would be sold at a higher price in the black markets than it would in the free markets.
So, black markets can arise as a result of price ceiling and the need of producers to earn higher profits
b. During the war, when there was a rationing of meat. Farmers declared less animal births to authorities and sold the undeclared livestock in the black market.
Also, in less developed countries e.g. Nigeria, when there is scarcity of fuel. Black markets arise where fuel are sold for higher prices

Between January 2010 and January 2016, U.S. employment increased by 12.1 million workers, but the number of unemployed workers declined by only 7.3 million. True or False: The labor force has remained unchanged.
Answer:
False, the labor forced increased
Explanation:
labor force = total number of people actively working (employed) or searching for jobs (unemployed)
lets say L = the total labor force in 2010
by 2016, L had increased by 12.1 million and decreased by 7.3 million
net change of L = 12.1 - 7.3 = 4.8 more million people were part of the labor force in 2016 than in 2010.

Which of the following statements would be most likely to minimize expected fixing costs? a. A machine should always be calibrated at the midpoint between the upper and lower spec limits. b. A machine should be calibrated closer to the upper spec limit than the lower spec limit if the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low. c. A machine should be calibrated closer to the lower spec limit than the upper spec limit if the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low.
Answer: c. A machine should be calibrated closer to the lower spec limit than the upper spec limit if the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low.
Explanation:
If the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low then it make sense to calibrate the machine closer to the lower spec limit.
This way if the machine produces less output than is required, it can be fixed at a lower cost than if the machine had been set to the upper spec and produces output that is too high.

Answer:
$12
Explanation:
Moore Company purchased an item for inventory that cost $20 per unit and was priced to sell at $34. It was determined that the cost to sell is $22 per unit. Using the lower of cost or net realizable value rule, what amount should be?
Cost per Unit = $20
Sale per unit = $34
Disposal cost = $22
Net realizable value per unit = Sale per unit - Disposal cost
Net realizable value per unit = $34 - $22
Net realizable value per unit = $12
Using the LCM method, $12 should be reported on the balance sheet for inventory.

Bond Ratings. Companies pay rating agencies such as Moody’s and S&P to rate their bonds, and the costs can be substantial. However, companies are not required to have their bonds rated in the first place; doing so is strictly voluntary. Why so you think they do so?
Answer:
Bond Ratings
Companies employ rating agencies such as Moody's and S&P to rate their bonds despite the substantial costs and their voluntariness because ratings by these agencies add a badge of honor to the bonds. It gives investors some level of assurance that the bonds will be honored at maturity and that the pricing is right, given the company's credit risk.
Explanation:
Credit risk rating agencies assess the credit risk of a company or financial product as formal and credit-worthy benchmarks for investment decisions. While companies pay huge costs to have these ratings conducted by the big three, including Moody's, S&P, and Fitch, the main value goes to the potential investors who require the information to decide whether to invest in the rated companies.
Rust Pipe Co. was established in 1994. Four years later the company went public. At that time, Robert Rust, the original owner, decided to establish two classes of stock. The first represents Class A founders' stock and is entitled to twelve votes per share. The normally traded common stock, designated as Class B, is entitled to one vote per share. In late 2010, Mr. Stone, an investor, was considering purchasing shares in Rust Pipe Co. While he knew the existence of founders’ shares were not often present in other companies, he decided to buy the shares anyway because of a new technology Rust Pipe had developed to improve the flow of liquids through pipes. Of the 1,900,000 total shares currently outstanding, the original founder's family owns 52,725 shares. What is the percentage of the founder's family votes to Class B votes? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
34.25%
Explanation:
Votes per share = 12
Shares owned = 52725
Now we are to calculate the total value of the total number of of votes
Total votes = votes per share * shares owned
= 12*52725
Total = 632700
Value of votes of class B
Total shares outstanding - founders family shares
= 1900000 - 52725
= 1847275
The question requires us to calculate percentage of the founder's family votes to Class B votes
632700/1847275
= 0.3425
= 34.25%
All against Common Sense. Back in mid 80s, the US economy was very bad. It was much worse than it is now. At that time, to the surprise of many people, US automakers raised the prices of their cars. The common sense says that when the sales are slow, we lower prices and offer better deals to customers. Why do you think that the US car manufacturers increase the prices?
Answer:
Explanation:
This most likely happened because in the 80's the economy was so bad that even by lowering their prices the middle-class families would still not be able to afford to buy a car. The only individuals able to afford a car would be those who are wealthy. Therefore, by increasing prices and targetting wealthy individuals, the US car manufacturers could become profitable with much fewer sales and prevent the manufacturing plant from going under. Since wealthy individuals would not mind much the increased prices because they can still afford it without making much of a dent in their wealth.

Your classmates from the University of Chicago are planning to go to Miami for spring break, and you are undecided about whether you should go with them. The round-trip airfare is $600, but you have a frequent-flyer coupon worth $500 that you could use to pay part of the airfare. All other costs for the vacation are exactly $900. The most you would be willing to pay for the trip is $1,400. Your only alternative use for your frequent-flyer coupon is for your trip to Atlanta two weeks after the break to attend your sister's graduation, which your parents are forcing you to attend. The Chicago-Atlanta round-trip airfare is $450. If the Chicago-Atlanta round-trip air fare were $350, should you use the coupon to go to Miami?
Answer:
You should use the discount coupon to pay for the Chicago-Miami trip. Not considering the personal motivations for the trip, the coupon is worth $500. The cost of flying is $600, so you will only pay $100 yourself. You will be spending $900 + $1000 = $1,000 in total.
The opportunity cost of using the coupon is $350 (the cost of the round trip to Atlanta). Even if you add the $350 to the $1,000 expense, the total is $1,350, less than your $1,400 maximum budget.

A project that will last for 10 years is expected to have equal annual cash flows of $103,900. If the required return is 8.4 percent, what maximum initial investment would make the project acceptable? Multiple Choice $638,392.96 $595,833.43 $1,534,047.75 $655,213.49 $684,772.10
Answer:
PV= $684,772.1
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A project that will last for 10 years is expected to have equal annual cash flows of $103,900. If the required return is 8.4 percent.
First, we need to calculate the future value of the cash flows:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {103,900*[(1.084^10) - 1]} / 0.084
FV= $1,534,047.75
Now, we can determine the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 1,534,047.75 / (1.084^10)
PV= $684,772.1
