A company has 500 shares of $50 par value preferred stock outstanding, and the call price of its preferred stock is $60 per share. It also has 20,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and the total value of its stockholders' equity is $680,000. The company's book value per common share equals:

Answer: Consumer Spending

Explanation:

As more Americans find jobs, they will be able to earn an income. As they do so they will be able to spend more on goods and services in the economy thereby increasing Consumption spending which is the largest determinant of Aggregate Demand.

As a result of this increase in Consumption, Aggregate demand will change by increasing as well.

Answer: $8,400

Explanation:

The $9,600 is for 2 years in advance. This can be apportioned per month at a rate of;

= 9,600/24

= $400 per month.

October to the end of the year is 3 months so;

= 400 * 3

= $1,200 will be recorded for the year.

Prepaid Insurance will therefore reduce to;

= 9,600 - 1,200

= $8,400

Answer:

B. market concentration

Explanation:

The answer is that greater pricing power is most likely to result from greater market concentration because this means that there are few competitors in the market which allows to have more power to establish prices.

The other options are not right because unused capacity indicates that there is a lot of competition in the market which doesn't allow to have the power to establish prices and volatility in market share means that there is not a  firm position in the market that allows to have greater pricing power.

Answer:

Total cost= $123,525

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs: supervisor's salary $1,200; factory rent $2,900

Mixed costs: utilities $1,700+ $5.75 per unit

Variable costs per unit manufacturing labor wages $21.00; supplies used in production $9.00; packaging cost $2.75, warranty cost $4

We need to determine the total cost of 2,770 units:

Total variable cost= 5.75*2,770 + 21*2,770 + 9*2,770 + 2.75*2,770 + 4*2,770

Total variable cost= $117,725

Total fixed costs= 1,200 + 2,900 + 1,700= $5,800

Total cost= 117,725 + 5,800= $123,525

Answer:

$10,000 credited

Explanation:

DATA

Machine cost = 510,000

Salvage value = $60,000

Useful life = 6 years

Depreciation = $60,000/6years

Depreciation = $10,000

It means that we have overstated depreciation expense for the year with the amount of $10,000.

Retained earnings will be credited by $10,000 As the depreciation expense was overstated mistakenly by $10,000

Answer:

1.34

Explanation:

Computation for the market/book ratio

Using this formula

Market/book ratio=Stock price/Book value per share

Let plug in the formula

Market/book ratio=$33.50/$25.00

Market/book ratio=1.34

Therefore the Market/book ratio will be 1.34.

Answer:

5.65%

Explanation:

Last year a stock of $78.00 was bought

During the period of one year $2.70 was received in dividend and inflation averaged 3.2%

Today the shares was sold for $82.20

The first step is to calculate the nominal return

= ($82.20-$78.00+$2.70)/$78.00

= 6.9/78

= 0.0885×100

= 8.85%

Therefore, the approximate real rate can be calculated as follows

= 8.85%-3.2%

= 5.65%

Hence the approximate real rate of return on this investment is 5.65%

Answer:

The amount of $2,149.14 will be recorded on June 30, 2018 , the first interest payment date.

Explanation:

The data below were extracted from the above information

Face amount $81,000

rate 5%

Issue price $71,638

Yield 6%

Since we already know that interest is paid semi annually, then ;

Amount of interest expense will be = issue price × yield

= $71,638 × 6% × 1/2

= $2,149.14

Amount of interest expense is therefore $2,149.14, to be recorded on June 30, 2018, the first interest payment date.

Answer:

The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36  

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).  

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV  

The value of bond can be worked out as follows:  

Step 1  

PV of interest payments  

Semi annul interest payment  

= 10% × 81000 × 1/2 = 4050

Semi-annual yield = 8%/2= 4 % per six months  

Total period to maturity (in months)  

= (2 × 8) = 16 periods (Note the bond term is 8 yeras)  

PV of interest = 4050 × (1-1.04^(-16))/0.04 = 47,191.79

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value  

Assuming a redemption value equals to the nominal value =

PV of RV = 81,000 × 1.04^-16 =  43,246.56  

Step 3 :Total Present Value

Total prent value =  43,246.56  + 47,191.79721  =  90,438.36

The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36  

Answer:

Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month

Explanation:

The discounted payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes  the present value of net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost  

To work out the discounted payback period, we will compute present value of the cash inflow and then determine how long it will take for the sum to be equal to the initial cost. This is done as follows:

Year          Cash flow    DF             Present value                

0              900    ×          1        =     900                

1               500     ×      1.1^(-1)   =     454.55

2             500     ×      1.1^(-2)    =    413.22

2             500     ×      1.1^(-3)   =      375.66

Total PV for 2 years = 454.55  +  413.22 = 867.77

Balance of cash flow remaining to equal 900 = 900 -867.77  = 32.23

Discounted payback period = 32.23 /375.66 × 12 months

                                               = 2 years 1 month

Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month

a) Ball Bearings, Inc. can become profitable when the total revenue exceeds the total costs (variable and fixed).  Ball's marginal cost is the additional cost that the corporation incurs for producing one additional unit of ball bearings.  Its average fixed, variable, and total costs are computed by dividing the total fixed, variable, and total costs by the number of ball bearings produced.

Answer:

The answer is D. 7.22 percent

Explanation:

Interest payments are being made semiannually, this means it is being paid twice in a year

N(Number of periods) = 16 periods ( 8 years x 2)

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?

PV(present value or market price) = $987

PMT( coupon payment) = $35 ( [7 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 16; PV = -987 ; PMT = 35; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 3.61

3.61 percent is the Yield-to-maturity for semiannual

Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond annually is 7.22 percent (3.61 percent x 2)

Answer:

Steel industry in the United States of America has had its up and down over the years. this is especially going by the fact that it is cheaper to import steel from outside America than to buy those produced in U.S. However, high tariff on steel import would enable the domestic steel producers to meet their obligation as well as recoup their investments in the steel industry in U.S.

For example, most construction based organisation would prefer to buy from domestic steel producer if the price and tariff of imported ones makes it extremely difficult to purchase.

On the other-hand, the high tariff placed on steel import could also harm steel users due to the fact that, the quality of steel which they buy from outside U.S would no longer be available to them.

Also, they would be forced to buy at whatever price from domestic producers whether they had need for the steel or not due to high tariff on imported ones.

When a high tariff is placed on steel imports, U.S. steel producers produce more steel and they pay a higher price.

Hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part and the needed diagram

suppose John is shopping and has $20 to spend on hand sanitizer. He can go with Germ-X (G) at $1 per fluid ounce (pG=1), or he can purchase purell (P) at $1.25 per fluid ounce (Pp=1.25). His utility function for the two different hand sanitizers is as follows:

U = G +1.1P

where G and P are measured in fluid ounces.

Solve the consumer’s problem for John’s optimal demand for Germ-X and Purell. (You should find actual numbers representing the quantity of Germ-X chosen and the quantity of purell chosen

ANSWER:  The solution =  (Germ-x,Purell ) = (20,0).

Explanation:

The consumers problem for John's optimal demand for Germ-x  and Purell as seen in the diagram can solved by John going maximizing his utility given the constraint of the budget,

that means that John will purchase/spend the constrained budget of ($20) on Germ-x  since the unit price of Germ X is at $1 while Purell's unit price is at $1.25 per fluid ounce

Answer: a. FIFO to LIFO, but not LIFO to FIFO

Well the inventory changes which would likely be accounted for is the FIFO ( first in first out system ) to LIFO ( last in first out system ). But not the LIFO ( last in first out )  to FIFO ( first in first out ). This system are mostly used in sales where for FIFO the first goods to arrive leaves first and for LIFO the opposite of FIFO

Answer:

Huprey Co.

Identifying the accounting treatment for each claim as either (a) a liability that is recorded or (b) an item described in notes to its financial statements:

1. Huprey (defendant) estimates that a pending lawsuit could result in damages of $1,550,000; it is unlikely that the plaintiff will win the case.a. A liability that is recorded.

b. An item described in notes to its financial statements.

2. Huprey faces a loss on a pending lawsuit that it is unlikely to lose; the amount is reasonably estimable.

a. An item described in notes to its financial statements. b. A liability that is recorded.

3. Huprey faces a probable loss on a pending lawsuit; the amount is reasonably estimable.a. An item described in notes to its financial statements.

b. A liability that is recorded.

Explanation:

Huprey Co. will recognize and record contingent liabilities in its accounts when it can be reasonably established that the future event will occur and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The implication is that Huprey Co. must establish two things before a contingent liability is recognized and recorded.  One is that the probability or the likelihood or the chance that the event will happen exists and can be estimated.  With the probability estimate, it becomes possible for Huprey Co. to also estimate the amount that the happening of the event will cost it.

Cash & Equivalents     $ 312      $ 465        $ 393         $ 634       $ 336

Mean = $428

Deviation from mean     -116            37            -35             206          -92

Squared deviation      13,456       1,369         1,225       42,436      8,464

Sum of squared deviation = 66,950

Mean = 13,390

Square root of mean or Standard Deviation = 115

v) Return on Invested Capital = Net Income/Total liabilities + Equity

                               Dec. 09    Dec. 08     Dec. 07     Dec. 06     Dec. 05

Net Income             $ 1,054        $ 673       $ 874      $ 1,036    $ 1,424

TOTAL LIABILITIES &

EQUITY                  $24,131  $ 24,280  $ 24,025   $ 23,675  $ 22,225

Answer:

Project A should be accepted because the NPV is higher. this means that project A is more profitable than project B

Explanation:

Net present value van be used to determine which project should be accepted.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

For project A :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-60,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $30,000

Cash flow in year 2 = $37,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $20,000

I = 10%

NPV = $12,877.54

For project B :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-60,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $0

Cash flow in year 2 = $80,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $0

I = 11%

NPV = $4,929.79

Project A should be accepted because the NPV is higher. this means that project A is more profitable than project B

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute  

Answer: False

Explanation:

The cash flow from investing activities is a cash flow section that shows cash generated or the cash that is spent which relates to activities involving investment and this include buying physical assets, the investments in securities, or sale of assets or securities.

Therefore, the above analysis I the question is wrong.

Answer:

Nature's Garden

a. Determination of the current average cost per meal:

Variable cost per meal = $3,800 ($4 x 950) based on full capacity

Fixed costs per day =        $1,710

Total costs =                     $5,510

Average cost per meal = $5,510/950 = $5.80

b. Girl Scouts' offer of $150 for 30 girls:

Offered price per person = $5 ($150/30)

Projecting a loss of $0.60 per meal, this gives a total loss of $18 ($0.60 x 30)

Projected revenue from the offer = $150 + $18 = $168

Projected revenue per meal = $168/30 = $5.60

Actual revenue to be received per meal = $5.00

Loss of $0.60

The owner arrived at the $0.60 loss because his total costs per meal was $5.60.

c. Since the variable cost per meal is $4, the restaurant owner could accept the offer if the additional 300 meals will not increase his daily fixed costs due to lack of capacity.  If the fixed costs increase with this addition, then it may not be reasonable to accept the offer.  Based on this offer, the contribution to defraying fixed costs, given present capacity, is only $0.50 ($4.50 - $4) per meal.

Explanation:

Selling price of chef's salad = $7

Daily fixed costs = $1,710

Variable costs per meal = $4

Meals capacity per day = 950

Average meals = 900

Nature's Garden has a fixed cost of $1,710 based on current capacity of 950 meals per day.  The fixed cost may increase with increasing capacity.  This fact must be borne in mind when making decisions.

Answer:

nominal

Explanation:

There is a nominal rate that is the interest rate stated on a loan without taking into account the inflation or the compounding of interests and a real rate that is the one that is adjusted to reflect the real cost of the loan to the borrower. According to this, the answer is that the nominal rate of interest is the actual rate charged by the supplier and paid by the demander of fund because this is the rate that is stated when taking a loan.

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unit produced 11,000

Variable cost per unit:

Direct materials $150

Direct labor $450

Variable manufacturing overhead $47

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $790,000

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

Variable costing:

Unitary cost= 150 + 450 + 47= $647

Absorption costing:

Unitary fixed overhead= 790,000/11,000= $71.82

Unitary cost= 647 + 71.82= $718.82

Answer: True

Explanation:

Buying enough negatively correlated stock can indeed help in diversification of a Portfolio and this on its own is very important as it reduces risk. The type of risk that it reduces however is Unsystematic risk. This is the unique risk inherent in owing stocks.

Systematic risk which is also called undiversifiable risk however cannot be so easily eliminated. This risk is inherent in the Market  or the Market segment in question and results from a mix of the Economic, Geo-political and Financial factors in the market. As such, it will not be possible to eliminate all systematic risk.

Answer:

The answer is A. improvement in technology

Explanation:

Labor productivity growth is not relevant to a decline in university attendance.

Applying the Malthusianism theory, an increase in population growth can't lead to labor productivity growth because while that population growth is potentially exponential, the growth of resources is linear.

Finally, the physical capital per worker is the quantity of equipment and input resources that are used to produce output goods and services. It has no direct influence to the labor productivity growth.

Answer:

The financial position of the company at the end of the accounting period.

Explanation:

The cash flow statement is the statement that includes all the cash payment and cash receipts transactions held in the business. There are mainly three types of activities i.e operating activities, investing activities, and the financing activities

Also, it involves Significant noncash financing and investing activities.

but it does not reported the financial position of the business at the end of the accounting period

Hence, the first option is correct

Answer:

Selling Price of Bonds = Value of bonds * Issue price / Face price

Selling Price of Bonds = $220,000 * 104/100

Selling Price of Bonds = $228,800

                                   Journal Entry

Date        Account Title and Explanation        Debit       Credit

1 June      Cash                                                $228,800  

                         Bond payable                                           $220,000

                         Premium on bond payable                       $8,800

                (To record issuance of bond)

Working

Premium On Bonds Payable = Selling Price of Bonds - Value of Bonds

= $228,800 - $220,000

= $8,800

Answer:

Yield to Maturity = 8.11 %  

Explanation:

The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond

The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:

YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)

YTM-Yield to maturity-  

C- annual coupon

F- Face Value

P- Current Price

n- years to maturity

YTM-?, C- 6%× 1000 =60, Face Value - 1,000, P-803, n- 15

YTM = (60 + (1000-803)/15) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 803) )

YTM = 0.0811  × 100 = 8.11 %

Yield to Maturity = 8.11 %
