Halifax Manufacturing allows its customers to return merchandise for any reason up to 90 days after delivery and receive a credit to their accounts. All of Halifax's sales are for credit (no cash is collected at the time of sale). The company began 2018 with an allowance for sales returns of $400,000. During 2018, Halifax sold merchandise on account for $12,500,000. This merchandise cost Halifax $8,750,000 (70% of selling prices). Also during the year, customers returned $613,000 in sales for credit. Sales returns, estimated to be 5% of sales, are recorded as an adjusting entry at the end of the year. Required: 1. Prepare an entry to record actual merchandise returns as they occur (not adjusting the allowance for sales returns), and then record a year-end entry to adjust the allowance for sales returns to its appropriate balance. 2. What is the amount of the year-end allowance for sales returns after the adjusting entry is recorded?

Answers

Answer:

Please refer to the below explanations.

Explanation:

A.

Sales return and allowance a/c Dr $613,000

To accounts receivable A/c Cr $613,000

(Being retuned goods that is recorded)

Merchandise inventory A/c Dr $429,100

($613,000 × 70%)

To cost of goods sold A/c Cr $429,100

(Being cost of goods sold that was recorded)

Estimated return is therefore;

= Sale value of merchandise × return percentage - actual return

= $12,500,000 × 5% - $613,000

= $625,000 - $613,000

= $12,000

B.

Sales return and allowance A/c Dr $12,000

To accounts receivable A/c Cr $12,000

(Being returned goods that were recorded)

Merchandise inventory A/c Dr $8,400

($12,000 × 70%)

To cost of goods sold A/c Cr $8,400

(Being cost of goods sold that were recorded)

Therefore, the computation for the year end allowance for sales return is same as $8,400.

Hankins, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $5.3 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 3 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .52, a cost of equity of 13.2 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 6.6 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of 1 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects.Required:a. Calculate the WACC.b. What is the maximum cost the company would be willing to pay for this project?

Answers

Answer:

a.

WACC - Company = 10.94%

WACC - Project = 11.94%

b.

The maximum that the company will be willing to pay for this project is $61.0626 million

Explanation:

a.

To calculate the maximum cost that the company will be willing to pay today, we first need to find out the company and project WACC.

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a company's capital structure. It is calculated as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

d, p and e represents debt, preferred stock and common equityw represents the weight of each componentr represents the cost of each component

Weightage of  debt and equity

Total assets = debt + equity

Total assets = 0.52 + 1  = 1.52

wD = 0.52/1.52

wE = 1/1.52

WACC - Company = 0.52/1.52 * 0.066  +  1/1.52 * 0.132

WACC - Company = 0.1094 or 10.94%

WACC of project is 1% more than WACC of company. So WACC of project is 10.94% + 1%  =  11.94%

b.

The maximum that must be paid for this project can be calculated by calculating the present value of the cash flows provided in form of saving by this project.

Using the constant growth model of cash flow approach,

Present value = 5.3 * (1+0.03) / (0.1194 - 0.03)

Present value = $61.0626 million

IP Company has a preliminary cash balance of $25,000 and an agreement with the bank that it will keep a minimum balance of $20,000. IP Company has a beginning loan balance of $12,000.
The ending loan balance is:________.

Answers

Answer: $7,000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that IP Company has a preliminary cash balance of $25,000 and an agreement with the bank that it will keep a minimum balance of $20,000 and that IP Company has a beginning loan balance of $12,000.

The ending loan balance will be:

= $20,000 + $12,000 - $25,000

= $32,000 - $25,000

= $7,000

The price of a stock call option is __________ correlated with the stock price and __________ correlated with the strike price. Group of answer choices negatively; positively not; not negatively; negatively positively; positively positively; negatively

Answers

Answer:

The answer is positively correlated with stock price and negatively correlated with strike price

Explanation:

The holder of a call option expects the price of the underlying asset(the stock) to increase for him to exercise the right while he also hopes the price of the strike price(exercise price) will be lower than the stock price. If this happens the holder (long) of the call option gains. So because of this, the price of stock call option is positively correlated with the price of the underlying (stock price) while it is negatively correlated with the strike price(exercise price).

Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $2,201 and matures in 21 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a coupon rate of 7.38 percent. The par value is $2,000. If the company's tax rate is 40 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt

Answers

Answer:

the after tax cost of debt is 3.90 %.

Explanation:

The Cost of debt is the rate required on the bond and this is calculated as follows :

PV = - $2,201

n = 21 × 2 = 42

PMT =  ($2,000 × 7.38 %) ÷ 2 = $73.80

P/YR = 2

FV = $2,000

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the Pre-tax Cost of debt, r is 6.4963% or 6.50 % (2 decimal places)

After tax cost of debt = Interest rate × (1 - tax rate)

                                   = 6.50 % × (1 - 0.40)

                                   = 3.90 %

Hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing part

Answer : value added times : 30 minutes , 30 minutes

               non-value added times: 1210 minutes, 130 minutes

               Total lead times : 1240 minutes,  160 minutes

               value added time as a ratio: 2.4%, 18.8%

Explanation:

Given data:

production batch sizes = 40 units

process step 1 = 6 minutes

process step 2 = 10 minutes

process step 3 = 6 minutes

process step 4 = 8 minutes

Determining : The value added, non-value added , total lead times and value added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches

UNDER PRESENT PRODUCTION APPROACH

Th value added time:

= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes

Non-value added time:

=  Value added time *(Batch size -1) + move time between each step

= 30*39+8*5

= 1170 +40 = 1210 minutes

total lead time :

= value added time + non-value added time

= 30 + 1210 = 1240 minutes

value added time as a percentage/ratio

(value added time / total lead time) * 100

= 30 / 1240 * 100 = 2.4%

UNDER PROPOSED PRODUCTION APPROACH

value added time :

= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes

Non-value added time :

=  Value added time *(Batch size -1) +  time between each step

= 30*4+2*5 = 120 + 10 = 130 mins

total lead time :

= value added time + non-value added time  = 30 +130 = 160 mins

value added time as a percentage/ratio:

(value added time / total lead time ) * 100

= (30 / 160) * 100 = 18.8%

Heather Smith is considering a bond investment in Locklear Airlines. The $1,000 par value bonds have a quoted annual interest rate of 8 percent and the interest is paid semiannually. The yield to maturity on the bonds is 12 percent annual interest. There are 10 years to maturity.Required:Compute the price of the bonds based on semiannual analysis.

Answers

Answer:

Price of bond   = $770.60

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 for Heather Smith  can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

PV of interest payments

Semi annul interest payment  

= 8%× 1000 × 1/2 =40

Semi-annual yield = 12/2 = 6% per six months

Total period to maturity (in months)  = (2 ×10) = 20 periods

PV of interest =  

40 × (1- (1+0.06)^(-20)/0.06)  = 458.796

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value

= 1,000 × (1.06)^(-20)  = 311.80

Step 3 :Price of bond  

= 458.796  + 311.80 = 770.60

Price of bond   = $770.60

An unfinished desk is produced for $36.00 and sold for $65.00. A finished desk can be sold for $75.00. The additional processing cost to complete the finished desk is $5.95. What is the differential revenue if you process further

Answers

Answer:

Differential revenue from further processing = $4.05

Explanation:

A business should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  

Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .i.e $36 irrelevant to the decision to process further

The differential revenue if the desk is processed further would be the difference between the additional revenue from further process and the further processing cost.

Sales price after the split-off point                         75

Sales price at the split-off point                               65

Additional sales revenue                                         10

As of November 29, it appears that Notel will report earnings per share (EPS) of $1.15 for the quarter ended November 30. Which of the following events would cause this EPS number to decrease, assuming the event occurs the morning of November 30?


A.

The company pays a supplier for inventory bought on account.

B.

The company declares, but does not pay, a cash dividend.

C.

The company purchases 10 shares of common stock in another company.

D.

The company reissues the treasury stock it holds.

Answers

Answer: D.  The company reissues the treasury stock it holds.

Explanation:

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Net Income by the weighted average number of shares that a company has outstanding. If the company reissues treasury stock, this would increase the number of average stock outstanding thereby increasing the denominator of the EPS equation which would have the effect of reducing the Earnings per share.

For instance, if a company had net income of $50 and common equity outstanding of $40, the EPS would be;

= 50/40

= $1.25

If the company reissues treasury stock of $30, the EPS would change to;

= 50/ (40 +30)

= $0.71

Chester currently has $17,624 (000) in cash and management has decided to issue stocks and bonds worth an additional $8,000 (000). Assuming that cash from operations will be the same for each of the following activities, which activity exposes this company to the most risk of being issued an emergency loan?
a) purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equiptment
b) liquidate the new inventory
c) retiring the oldest bond
d) a $5 dividend

Answers

Answer: a) purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equipment

Explanation:

Of the 4 options listed, liquidating the new inventory would lead to a cash inflow and so is not going to lead to an emergency loan.

Retiring the oldest bond is something that would probably have been budgeted for so it will be less probable to cause Chester to seek emergency funding.

The activity that poses the greatest threat to Chester in terms of loan solicitation would be the purchase of plant and equipment. This would have less chance of being budgeted for and is a significant amount to leave the company which is even larger than the company's current cash amount. It has a higher chance of causing Chester to seek emergency loan funding.

Answers

Answer:

D. is essentially the same in all country markets where it competes but it may nonetheless give local managers room to make minor variations where necessary to better satisfy local buyers and to better match local market conditions.

Explanation:

A think global act local is a strategic business approach or concept which is aimed at achieving a low cost, effective cost, efficiency and focused strategy theme in all the locations where the firm has its operations but nonetheless avails local managers the opportunity and ability to adjust product

specifications, distribution and marketing channels to better satisfy local consumers, as well as effectively and efficiently match local market conditions.

Hence, the competitive strategy of a firm pursuing a "think global, act local" approach to strategy-making is essentially the same in all country markets where it competes but it may nonetheless give local managers room to make minor variations where necessary to better satisfy local buyers and to better match local market conditions.

The bad faith registration of a domain name that is a registered trademark or trade name of another entity is referred to as:

Answer:

Cybersquatting.

Explanation:

This is explained to be the involvement of a person(especially a domain creator) with registered domains owned by a company, organisation or even a personality that have almost/same keywords that are said to be in existence. This person can be easily tagged as a 'cybersquatter'. Therefore in the other hand cybersquatting can simply means registering a domain name because it corresponds to someone else’s name. The objective of this said squatter is just to sell it to that person for a vast amount of money. This act was seen to be in existence in the early internet ages and were exactly when a lot of these businesses hadn’t woken up to the importance of domain names.

Which one of the following is true about Section 1231 assets? Section 1231 assets are treated like capital assets when they produce losses on sale Business property held 1 year or less is considered a Section 1231 asset Section 1231 assets include company stock Section 1231 asset losses must be netted against 1231 asset gains before tax treatment is determined All of the above are false

Answers

Answer:

Section 1231 asset losses must be netted against 1231 asset gains before tax treatment is determined

Explanation:

Section 1231 property is a term that describes a form of property, defined by section 1231 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. It deals with a real or depreciable business property held for more than one year, such as Land, machines etc.

Section 1231, assets, however, are generally thought to enjoy a tax-favored status because its gains and losses from the sale of a property is taxed at the lower capital gains tax rate compared to the rate for ordinary income.

Hence, in this case, given the options available, it is TRUE that, Section 1231 asset losses must be netted against 1231 asset gains before tax treatment is determined

How would you answer questions a and b if Madison was offered the choice between 1 share of stock in Badger for each 10 shares she owned or $100 cash for each 10 shares she owned in Badger?

Answers

Answer:

a. What amount of taxable dividend income, if any, does Madison recognize in 2009?

Madison doesn't have to recognize any income because she is not getting any. Only after Madison decides to sell his stocks will he recognize any taxable income if she makes a gain.

b. What is Madison's income tax basis in her new and existing stock in Badger Corporation, assuming the distribution is non-taxable?

Madison current basis is $100 per stock, and after the stock dividend it will be $100 / 1.1 = $90.91 per stock

c. How would you answer questions a and b if Madison was offered the choice between 1 share of stock in Badger for each 10 shares she owned or $100 cash for each 10 shares she owned in Badger?

then the cash dividend would be $10 per stock, which results in $10 x 1,000 = $10,000 taxable income. Her basis in the stock will remain not change.

Suppose you work for a company that makes a product line for a large hardware chain. The chain asks you for a price quote for 30,000 units that will require a $1,500,000 investment with marginal costs of $15 per unit. What is the lowest price you are willing to quote

Answers

Answer:

$1,950,000

Explanation:

Note the company has a margin per unit cost and investment cost, where

investment cost =  $1,500,000

+

margin per unit cost =  $450,000 (30,000 x $15)

Thus, total cost = $1,950,000. Since companies do not want to make loses, but may allow for break-even, the lowest price to quote  should not be lesser than the total cost of $1,950,000.

g Builtrite has calculated the average cash flow to be $16,000 with a standard deviation of $4000. What is the probability of a cash flow being greater than $11,000? (Assume a normal distribution.)

Answers

Answer:

89.44%

Explanation:

As we know that:

Z = (Cash Flow - Mean) / Standard Deviation

Here

Cash flow is the observed value which is the lower limit here and is $11,000

Mean is the average value of the sample and is $16,000

Standard Deviation is $4,000

By putting values, we have:

Z = ($11,000 - $16,000) / $4,000

= -1.25

The Z value lower than -1.25 is 0.1056 or 10.56%

This means that the probability of cash flow lower than $11,000 is 10.56% and the probability of cash flow greater than $11,000 will be

Probability of cash flow = (1- 0.1056) = 0.8944  which is 89.44%

Income tax rate (30%)                             75,900

Budgeted Net Income                          $177,100

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimates:

Sales = $695,000

Cost of goods sold = 40% of sales = $695,000 * 40% = $278,000

Selling expenses = $77,500

General and Administrative expenses = $86,500 - $19,500 = $67,000

Depreciation = $19,500

Income tax rate = 30%

b) Calgary Industries' budgeted net income of $177,100 is the result of deducting the operating expenses and income tax from the gross profit.  The gross profit of $417,000 is obtained by deducting the cost of goods sold from the Sales Revenue.  These profit points explain the economic returns created by the Calgary Industries.  They reflect its financial performance during the budgeted period.

$1,500 Favorable

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

                           Fixed Element         Variable Element per  

                              per Month              Customer Served

Revenue                                                        $5,500

Employee salaries

 and wages            $46,300                         $1,000

Travel expenses                                             $ 500

Other expenses    $32,500

The Travel Expenses Activity Variance = Actual cost minus budgeted cost

= $8,500 - $10,000

= $1,500 Favorable

Actual travel expenses = ($500 x 17)

= $8,500

Budgeted travel expenses =  ($500 x 20)

= $10,000

Pattison Corporation's activity variance for Travel Expenses for the month of May is the difference between the actual travel expenses and the budgeted travel expenses.  The budgeted expenses are based on budgeted number of customers served in May while the actual expenses are based on actual number of customers served in May.

A firm has a market value equal to its book value. Currently, the firm has excess cash of $1,200 and other assets of $7,800. Equity is worth $9,000. The firm has 600 shares of stock outstanding and net income of $760. What will the new earnings per share be if the firm uses its excess cash to complete a stock repurchase?

Answers

Answer: $1.46

Explanation:

Earnings per share = Net Income/Number of shares

Value of shares at current = 9,000/600

= $15 a share

Excess cash is $1,200.

Using that, the following number shares can be purchases;

= 1,200/15

= 80 shares

New number of shares = 600 - 80

= 520 shares

New EPS

= 760/520

= $1.46
