Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entry:
Debit Insurance Expense $1,400
Credit Prepaid Insurance $1,400
To record the insurance expense for the year (7 months).
Explanation:
This adjustment will cause the Prepaid Insurance account to remain $1,000. This balance represents the insurance cost for 5 months having deducted the insurance cost for 7 months from June 1 to December 31. So, in line with the accrual concept and the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles, only $1,400 Insurance was incurred for the current year. The balance will be charged to the account when the service is consumed.
A stock has an expected return of 8.19 percent and its reward-to-risk ratio is 6.9 percent. If the risk-free rate is 2.15 percent, what is the stock's beta
Answer:
0.87
Explanation:
The beta of the stock can be calculated by rearranging the Reward to risk ratio formula. The Reward to risk ratio is given below
DATA
Risk free rate of return = 2.15%
Reward to risk ratio = 6.9%
Expected return = 8.19%
Beta =?
Reward to risk ratio = (expected return - risk free rate) / beta.
6.9% = ( 8.19% - 2.15%) / beta
6.9% = 6.04%/beta
beta = 6.04% / 6.9%
beta = 0.87
Lopez Company uses both standards and budgets. For the year, estimated production of Product X is 500,000 units. Total estimated cost for materials and labor are $1,400,000 and $1,700,000.
Compute the estimates for (a) a standard cost and (b) a budgeted cost. (Round standard costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.)
Answer:
a. Standard cost = Total estimated cost of material ÷ Estimated production
= $1,400,000 / 500,000 unit
= $2.80 per unit
Thus, the standard cost of material is $2.80, and the budgeted cost is $1,400,000.
b. Standard cost = Total estimated cost of labor / Estimated production
= $1,700,000 / 500,000
= $3.40 per unit
Thus, standard cost of labor is $3.40 and budgeted cost is $1,700,000.
Consider a 10 year bond with a face value of $1000 that has a coupon rate of 5.3%, with semiannual payments. What is the coupon payment for this bond?
Answer:
$26.5
Explanation:
the question says that the bond has a face value equal to 1000 dollars
coupon rate = 5.3%
and that the bond pays semiannually. semiannually means that it pays after 6 months.
semi annual coupon payment formula is given by = coupon rate/2 multiplied by face value
= 5.3%/2 multiplied by 1000
= 0.0265 x 1000
= $26.5
therefore from this calculation, the coupon payment on the bond is $26.5 dollars in every six months or semiannually.
To be registered as a broker-dealer, the Administrator typically requires the posting of a surety bond in the amount of:
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
Most of the time the Administrator requires a posting of a $10,000 surety bond to be registered as a broker-dealer, due to the Uniform Securities act but each separate state administrator can change this amount to what they seem fit. A surety bond makes sure that the individual assumes responsibility for that amount of debt obligation if the borrower defaults on the payment.
Gabriele Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with eleven years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and selling for $982. At this price, the bonds yield 7.6 percent.
Required:
What must the coupon rate be on the bonds?
Answer:
The answer is 7.35 percent
Explanation:
N(Number of periods) = 11years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 7.6 percent
PV(present value or market price) = $982
PMT( coupon payment) = ?
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 11; I/Y = 7.6; PV = -$982; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= $73.52
Therefore, coupon rate is ($73.52/$1,000) x 100 percent
=7.35 percent

Mortgage insurance rates vary with the perceived riskiness of the loan.Which of the following scenarios would result in a higher mortgage insurance premium?
A) Lower loan-to-value ratio
B) Shorter loan term
C) Stronger credit record of the borrower
D) A "cash-out" refinancing loan
Answer: D) A "cash-out" refinancing loan
Explanation:
A "cash-out" refinancing loan refers to when a person replaces the mortgage that they have on a house with a newer, larger mortgage than the balance of the previous mortgage on the house.
The difference between this new mortgage and the old one can then be withdrawn in cash.
This would attract a higher mortgage insurance premium because the value of debt has now increased because as earlier mentioned, the new mortgage will be larger than the previous one so to cater for this, the insurance premiums will rise.
Which of the following statements is false?
A) All of the governmental funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting.
B) Debt service funds are required to report accrued interest payable.
C) General fixed assets that are acquired with governmental fund resources are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds but are displayed as capital assets in the governmental-wide financial statements.
D) Permanent funds reflect resources that are legally restricted so that principal may not be expended and earnings are used to benefit the government or its citizenry.
Answer: Debt service funds are required to report accrued interest payable.
Explanation:
The modified accrual basis of accounting is utilized for governmental funds. It should also be noted that permanent funds reflect resources that are legally restricted so that principal may not be expended and earnings are used to benefit the government or its citizenry.
Therefore, the option that debt service funds are required to report accrued interest payable is not true.

Explanation:
the market price of the bonds:
$800,000 / 1.05¹⁰ = $491,130.60
$32,000 x 8.1109 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 10 periods) = $259,548.80
market price = $750,679.40
discount on bonds payable $49,320.60
discount amortization first payment = (750,679.40 x 0.05) - 32,000 = 5,533.97
discount amortization second payment = (756,213.37 x 0.05) - 32,000 = 5,810.67
discount amortization third payment = (762,024.04 x 0.05) - 32,000 = 6,101.20
discount amortization fourth payment = (768,125.24 x 0.05) - 32,000 = 6,406.26
Which method of evaluating capital investment proposals uses present value concepts to compute the rate of return from the net cash flows
Answer:
Internal rate of return
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is that return in which the net present value equivalent to zero
i.e.
Net present value = 0
That means
Initial investment = Present value of cash inflows after charging the discounting factor like 10% 12% etc
So as per the given situation, the internal rate of return is the correct answer
rue or False: The following statement accurately describes how firms make decisions related to issuing new common stock. Taking flotation costs into account will reduce the cost of new common stock.
Answer: False
Explanation:

You purchased shares of stock one year ago at a price of $62.37 per share. During the year, you received dividend payments of $1.77 and sold the stock for $69.49 per share. If the inflation rate during the year was 2.07 percent, what was your real return?
Answer:
real rate of return= 10.93%
Explanation:
The return on equity is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.
Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.
Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal.
Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:
Capital gain = $69.49- 62.37 = 6.92
Dividend -= 1.77
Nominal return on stock= (1.77 + 6.92)/ 62.37 × 100 = 13.93 %
Inflation is the increase in the price level.It erodes the value of money.rise in the price of money
Nominal interest is that quoted for investment or loan transactions. It has not been been adjusted for inflation.
Real interest rate is the amount of interest in terms of the the quantity of good and services that can be purchased. It is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.
The relationship between inflation, real return and nominal return rate is given using the Fishers Effect;
N = ( (1+R) × (1+F)) - 1
N- nominal rate, R-real rate, F- inflation
real rate of return = (1.1393)/ (1.027)- 1 = 0.1093
real rate of return = 0.1093 × 100 = 10.93%
real rate of return= 10.93%

Och, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $1.75 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 2 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .8, a cost of equity of 11.5 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 4.3 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual projects the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +3 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. What is the maximum initial cost the company would be willing to pay for the project?
Answer:
$18,191,268.19
Explanation:
the company's WACC = (weight of equity x Re) + (weight of debt x after tax cost of debt) = (0.6 x 11.5%) + (0.4 x 4.3%) = 6.9% + 1.72% = 8.62%
discount rate adjustment factor = 8.62% + 3% = 11.62%
to determine the value of the project:
$1,750,000 / (11.62% - 2%) = $1,750,000 / 9.62% = $18,191,268.19
If the initial outlay is $18,191,268.19, then the project's NPV = $0. This is the maximum amount that the firm should be willing to invest in this project.
"expects to generate free cash flows of $200,000 per year for the next five years. Beyond that time, free cash flows are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5 percent per year forever. If the firm’s average cost of capital is 15 percent, the market values of the firm’s debt and preferred stock are $400,000 and $100,000, respectively. There are 125,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the value of the firm’s stock"
Answer:
The value of the firm's stock is $703,920
The price is $5.63 per share ($703,920/125,000 shares)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Free cash flows = $200,000
Present value of the free cash flows = $200,000 x Annuity Factor, for 5 years at cost of capital of 15% x (1 + growth rate)
= $200,000 x 3.352 x 1.05
= $703,920
Therefore, common equity = $703,920
To calculate Company XYZ's free cash flows in their present value, they are discounted, using the present value table. The resulting amount is equivalent to the value of the common stock. The company's free cash flow is the amount that is left after settling operating expenses and capital expenditure.
Granite Stone Creamery sold ice cream equipment for $17,600. Granite Stone originally purchased the equipment for $94,000, and depreciation through the date of sale totaled $73,000. What was the gain or loss on the sale of the equipment
Answer:loss on the sale of the equipment =$3,400
Explanation:
---We first compute the book value of the equipment
Cost of asset=$94,000
accumulated depreciation = $73,000
Book Value of assets = Cost of asset-accumulated depreciation
= $94,000 - $73,000= $21,000

Purvis Manufacturing, which produces a single product, has prepared the following standard cost sheet for one unit of the product. Direct materials (6 pounds at $2 per pound) $12 Direct labor (2 hours at $12 per hour) $24 During the month of April, the company manufactures 300 units and incurs the following actual costs.
Direct materials purchased and used (1,850 pounds) $4,070
Direct labor (620 hours) $7,130
Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for materials and labor. Identify whether the variance is favorable or unfavorable?
Answer:
1. Actual Quantity = 1,850 pounds
Actual materials cost = $4,070
Standard rate per pound = $2
Standard Quantity = 6 pounds per unit * 300 units
Standard Quantity = 1,800
Standard materials cost = Standard Quantity * Standard rate per pound
Standard materials cost = 1,800 * $2
Standard materials cost = $3,600
1a. Total Materials Variance = Actual materials cost - Standard materials cost
Total Materials Variance = $4,070 - $3,600
Total Materials Variance = $470 Unfavorable
1b. Materials Price Variance = Actual materials cost - Actual Quantity * Standard rate per pound
Materials Price Variance = $4,070 - 1,850 * $2
Materials Price Variance = $370 Unfavorable
1c. Materials Quantity Variance = Standard rate per pound * (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity)
Materials Quantity Variance = $2.00 * (1,850 - 1,800)
Materials Quantity Variance = $100 Unfavorable
2. Actual labor hours = 620
Actual labor cost = $7,130
Standard rate per hour = $12
Standard labor hours = 2 hours per unit * 300 units
Standard labor hours = 600
Standard labor cost = Standard labor hours * Standard rate per hour
Standard labor cost = 600 * $12
Standard labor cost = $7,200
2a. Total Labor Variance = Actual Labor cost - Standard Labor cost
Total Labor Variance = $7,130 - $7,200
Total Labor Variance = $70 Favorable
2b. Labor Price Variance = Actual Labor cost - Actual labor hours * Standard rate per hour
Labor Price Variance = $7,130 - 620 * $12
Labor Price Variance = $310 Favorable
2c. Labor Quantity Variance = Standard rate per hour * (Actual labor hours - Standard labor hours)
Labor Quantity Variance = $12.00 * (620 - 600)
Labor Quantity Variance = $240 Unfavorable

Assuming that the standard fixed overhead rate is based on full capacity, the cost of available but unused productive capacity is indicated by the a.fixed factory overhead volume variance b.direct labor rate variance c.variable factory overhead controllable variance d.direct labor time variance
Answer: a.fixed factory overhead volume variance.
Explanation:
Fixed overhead costs are the costs that are incurred by an organization that doesn't change even when the lre is a change in the volume of production activity. The fixed overhead costs are vital in order for the effective operation of the company.
When the standard fixed overhead rate is based on full capacity, the cost of available but unused productive capacity is indicated by the a.fixed factory overhead volume variance.
Variance is the data analysis tool that helps in measuring the gap between the actual and budgeted or the standard data. The standards are set based on past records and performances. There are various types of variances such as cost variance, efficiency variance, rate variance, volume variance, and many more.
The cost of available but unused productivity capacity is indicated by fixed factory overhead volume variance.
When the standard fixed overhead rate or can be said as the fixed overhead cost is constant and remains at full capacity irrespective of the changes in the volume of production activity.
In this case, the cost of productive capacity can be determined by using the fixed factory overhead volume variance. This is because it determines the difference between the fixed cost based upon the budgets and the production capacity.

Suppose that short-term municipal bonds currently offer yields of 4%, while comparable taxable bonds pay 5%. Which gives you the higher after-tax yield if your combined tax bracket is:
Answer:
1.Taxable bonds
2Taxable bonds
3.They have the same after-tax yield
4.
municipal bond
Explanation:
The missing tax brackets are zero,10%,20% and 30%
Zero % tax rate:
municipal bond pays 4%
taxable bonds after tax yield=5%*(1-0)=5%
10% tax rate
municipal bond pays 4%
taxable bond after tax yield=5%*(1-10%)=4.5%
20% tax rate
municipal bond pays 4.0%
taxable bond after tax yield=5%*(1-20%)=4.0%
30% tax rate
municipal bond pays 4.0%
taxable bond after tax yield=5%*(1-30%)=3.50%

A stock had returns of 15.51 percent, 22.47 percent, −8.68 percent, and 9.43 percent over four of the past five years. The arithmetic average return over the five years was 12.71 percent. What was the stock return for the missing year?
Answer:
24.82%
Explanation:
Arithmetic average = sum of observations / number of observations
Let x = the stock return for year 5
12.71 % = (15.51% + 22.47% −8.68% + 9.43 + x) /5
Multiply both sides by 5
63.55% = (5.51% + 22.47% −8.68% + 9.43 + x)
63.55% = 38.73% + x
x = 63.55% - 38.73% = 24.82%
A $5,000 bond with a coupon rate of 5.1% paid semiannually has eight years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 8.9%. If interest rates rise and the yield to maturity increases to 9.2%, what will happen to the price of the bond?
Answer:
The bond's market price will decrease by $72.08 (1.83%) from $3,928.89 to $3,856.81.
Explanation:
bond's current market price:
$5,000 / (1 + 4.45%)¹⁶ = $2,491.35
$127.50 x 11.27483 (PV annuity factor, 4.45%, 16 periods) = $1,437.54
current market price = $3,928.89
if interests rise and YTM increases to 9.2%, then new market price:
$5,000 / (1 + 4.6%)¹⁶ = $2,434.80
$127.50 x 11.15305 (PV annuity factor, 4.45%, 16 periods) = $1,422.01
current market price = $3,856.81
Motorcycle Manufacturers, Inc. projected sales of 78,000 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 6,500 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 6,000 units. What is the budgeted production (in units) for the year
Answer:
77,500 units
Explanation:
Projected sales = 78,000 machines
Opening inventory = 6,500 units
Closing inventory = 6,000 units
We will use the formulae below to calculate Budgeted production in unit.
Closing inventory = Opening inventory + Production - Sales
6,000 = 6,500 + Production - 78,000
Production = 6,000 - 6,500 + 78,000
= 77,500 units.
Therefore, Budgeted production is 77,500 units

The total labor flexible budget variance was ($23,000) Favorable. What was Trendy Coat’s standard price? Select one: a. $15.00 b. $12.00 c. $17.00 d. $13.50
Answer
a) $15
Explanation:
We will use the formula for Total labor variance to arrive at Standard rate.
Total labor variance = (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Standard hours × Standard rate)
Substituting the data above into the formula, we'll have;
-$23,000 = (4,000 × $13) - (5,000 × SR)
-$23,000 = $52,000 - 5,000SR
Collect like terms
5,000SR = $52,000 + $23,000
5,000SR = $75,000
SR = $75,000 / 5,000
SR = $15
