Answer:
a. $9,857.25
Explanation:
Price = Face value * (1 - Bid*Days/360)
Price = $10,000 * (1 - 5.71%*90/360)
Price = $10,000 * (1 - 5.71%*0.25)
Price = $10,000 * (1 - 0.014275)
Price = $10,000 * 0.985725
Price = $9,857.25

Ayala Inc. has conducted the following analysis related to its product lines, using a traditional costing system (volume-based) and an activity-based costing system. Both the traditional and the activity-based costing systems include direct materials and direct labor costs.
Products Sales Revenue Traditional ABC
Product 540X $195,000 $56,000 $46,600
Product 137Y 158,000 55,000 37,000
Product 249S 84,000 10,000 37,400
Instructions
a) For each product line, compute operating income using the traditional costing system.
b) For each product line, compute operating income using the activity-based costing system
c) Using the following formula, compute the percentage difference in operating income for each of the product lines of Ayala:{Operating Income (ABC)-Operating Income traditional cost)]divided operating Income (traditional cost)(round the percentage to two decimals).
Answer:
a. Operating income of Product 540X under traditional costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $195,000 - $56,000 = $139,000
Operating income of Product 137Y under traditional costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $158,000 - $55,000 = $103,000
Operating income of Product 249S under traditional costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $84,000 - $10,000 = $74,000
b. Operating income of Product 540X under activity-based costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $195,000 - $46,600 = $148,400
Operating income of Product 137Y under activity-based costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $158,000 - $37,000 = $121,000
Operating income of Product 249S under activity-based costing system: Operating income = Revenue - Operating cost = $84,000 - $37,400 = $46,600
c. % of the difference between the operating income of Product 540X under traditional costing system and ABC system = Operating Income (ABC) - [Operating Income (Traditional cost)/Operating Income (Traditional cost)] * 100
= $148,400 - $139,000/$139,000 * 100
= $9,400/$139,000 * 100
= 0.0676258992805755 * 100
= 6.76%
% of the difference between the operating income of Product 137Y under traditional costing system and ABC system = Operating Income (ABC) - [Operating Income (Traditional cost)/Operating Income (Traditional cost)] * 100
= $121,000 - $103,000/$103,000 * 100
= $18,000/$103,000*100
= 0.1747572815533981 * 100
= 17.48%
% of the difference between the operating income of Product 249S under traditional costing system and ABC system = Operating Income (ABC) - [Operating Income (Traditional cost)/Operating Income (Traditional cost)] * 100
= $46,600 - $74,000/$74,000 * 100
= -$27,400/$74,000 * 100
= -0.3702702702702703 * 100
= -37.03%

Kilt Company used a predetermined overhead rate of $41 per direct labor hour for the year and estimated that direct labor hours would total 6,100 hours. Assume the only inventory balance is an ending Work in Process balance of $17,700. How much overhead was applied during the year
Answer:
$205,000
Explanation:
The above is an incomplete question as we were not given actual direct labor hours. From a similar question, I picked 5,000 as the direct labor hours .
With regards to the above information, applied overhead is computed as;
Applied overhead = Overhead rate × Actual direct labor hour
Given that;
Overhead rate = $41
Actual direct labor hour = 5,000
Therefore,
Applied overhead = $41 × 5,000 = $205,000

Baxter Inc. has a target capital structure of $30 million debt, $15 million preferred stock, and $55 million common equity. The company's after-tax cost of debt is 7%, its cost of preferred stock is 11%, its cost of retained earnings is 15%, and its cost of new common stock is 16%. The company stock has a beta of 1.5 and the company's marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the company's weighted average cost of capital if retained earnings are used to fund the common equity portion
Answer:
12%
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital = Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity + Weight of Preferred Stock * Cost of Preferred Stock + Weight of Debt * Cost of Debt
Particluars Weights (given) Cost Weights*Cost
Common stock 55% or 0.55 16% = 8.8 %
Debt 30 % or 0.30 7% (after tax) = 2.1 %

You purchased a 5-year, 6% annual-coupon bond with $1,000 par value. The yield to maturity at the time of purchase was 4%. You sold the bond after one year, right after receiving the first coupon payment. The bond's yield to maturity was 3.4% when you sold it. What is your holding period return on the bond
Answer:
6.12%
Explanation:
the market value of the bond when you purchased it was:
PV of face value = $1,000 / 1.04⁵ = $821.93
PV of coupon payments = $60 x 4.4518 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 5 periods) = $267.11
initial investment = $1,089.04
after 1 year, you receive $60 +
PV of face value = $1,000 / 1.034⁴ = $874.82
PV of coupon payments = $60 x 3.6818 (PV annuity factor, 3.4%, 4 periods) = $220.91
market price = $1,095.73
total holding return = ($1,095.73 + $60 - $1,089.04) / $1,089.04 = 6.12%

Melissa is an unmarried person who earns a salary of $54,000 per year and has $500 of interest income. Her itemized deductions total $2,500. She is able to use a non-refundable credit of $400. She has $5,000 of federal income taxes withheld from her wages. What is the amount of Melissa's REFUND OR TAX DUE FOR 2020
Answer:
$6150
Explanation:
These are the details of Melissa's income
Salary = $54000
Interest income = 500
Itemized deductions = $ 2500
Non refundable credit = $400
Withheld federal income tax = $5000
We have to calculate the amount of her tax return for year 2020
Taxable income = 54000+500-2500
= $52500
Tax rate 22%
Tax on taxable income = 52500x0.22
= 11550
Minus non refundable credit = 11550-400
Minus federal tax withheld = 11550-400-5000
= $6150

You have decided to invest $15,000 in a money market fund that pays you interest at the annual rate of 6% and compounds interests monthly. Your plan is to take out your money in a year and pay taxes on the interest earned. If the corresponding tax rate is 20%, how much money in total will you expect to receive in a year after paying taxes.
Answer:
$15,869.66
Explanation:
The formula for determining the future value of the amount invested is :
FV = PV x (1 + r / m)^mn
FV = Future value
PV = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
m = number of compounding
$15,000 x (1+ 0.06/12)^12 = $15,925.17
Interest earned = future value - present value
$15,925.17 - $15,000 = $925.17
Tax paid on interest earned = 0.06 x $925.17 = $55.51
Interest after taxes = $925.17 - $55.51 = $869.66
Total amount expected = $15,000 + $869.66 = $15,869.66

Dell is undergoing a major expansion. The expansion will be financed by issuing new 15-year, $1,000 par, 9% annual coupon bonds. The market price of the bonds is $1,070 each. Dell's flotation expense on the new bonds will be $50 per bond. Dell's marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the pre-tax cost of debt for the newly-issued bonds
Answer:
8.76%
Explanation:
The computation of the pre-tax cost of debt is as follows:
Market price of the bond is
= $1,070 - $50
= $1,020
Coupon payment = Face value × Annual coupon rate
= $1,000 × 9%
= $90
Now YTM would be
Given that
NPER = 15
PMT = $90
PV = $1,020
FV = $1,000
The formula is given below:
=RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is 8.76%
A company purchased $10,700 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 2/10, n/45, and FOB shipping point. The freight charge, $850, was added to the invoice amount. On June 20, it returned $1360 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it is entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals:______
a. $10,003.
b. $9,224.
c. $11,550.
d. $11,210.
e. $11,11Ο.
Answer:
a. $10,003.
Explanation:
The terms of 2/10, n/45 means that there is a 2% discount if the payment is made within 10 days of the sales date and rhe net credit period is 45 days.
Calculate total invoice value
Total Invoice value = Merchandise value + Freight Charges = $10,700 + $850 = $11,550
As the payment is made on June 24 within the discount period, the discount will be availed
Discount = ( Purchases made - Returns ) x 2% = ( $10,700 - $1,360 ) x 2% = $186.80 = $187
Now the Amount paid
Amount Paid = Invoice value - Return - Discount avaialed = $11,550 - $1360 - 187 = $10,003
Suppose that a consumer has an initial endowment of 48.00 eggs. He is able to sell these eggs freely on the market for $1.00 per egg, but has no other income. However, he still demands some eggs himself. His demand is given by the following equation:
x1 = 16.00+ m/4p1
The price for eggs increases to $2.00 per egg. Calculate this consumer's endowment income effect.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the consumer's endowment income effect is as follows:
But before that following calculations must be done
Beginning value of the endowment,
m = 48 × 1
= 48
Now New value of endowment,
m' = 48 × new price
= 48 × 2
= 96
so,
Consumer's endowment income effect is
= x1(p1', m') - x1(p1', m)
= 28 - 22
= 6 eggs.
Working notes:
(x1(p1', m') is
= 16 + (96 ÷ 4 × 2)
= 16 + (96 ÷ 8)
= 16 + 12
= 28
And, x1(p1', m) is
= 16 + (48 ÷ 4 × 2)
= 16 + (48 ÷ 8)
= 16 + 6
= 22
Prepare Krum Co.'s journal entries to record the following transactions involving its short-term investments in available-for-sale debt securities, all of which occurred during the current year. a. On August 1, paid $70,000 cash to purchase Houtte's 11%, six-month debt securities ($70,000 principal), dated August 1. b. On October 30, received a check from Houtte for 90 days' interest on the debt securities in transaction a
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
On Aug 1
Short-term investments $70,000
To Cash $70,000
(Being the short term investment is recorded)
Here short term investment is debited as it increased the asset and credited the cash as it decreased the asset
On Oct 30
Cash ($70,000 × 11% × 90 days ÷ 360 days) 1,925
To Interest revenue $1,925
(Being the interest revenue is recorded)
here cash is debited as it increased the asset and credited the interest revenue as it also increased the revenue
Here we assume 360 days in a year
Marcus was offered a job as a senior manager by Super Corp. The offer, which was made over the phone, was for a three-year contract for $120,000 salary per year. Marcus orally accepted, there was no writing. The state in which Marcus was offered the job requires that such contracts be in writing. Marcus quit his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and headed to the state where Super Corp was headquartered. When he arrived, the director at Super Corp who had originally offered him the job said that they were revoking and that there was no contract, as Marcus never signed an employment agreement. If Marcus sues Super Corp, what is the likely result
,Answer:
-Marcus is owed something by Super Corp because he relied reasonably and to his detriment on Super Corp's offer.
Explanation:
Employment contracts can be written, oral, or implied and each of these are binding to some extent.
In the given instance it is required that employment should be written in the state where Super Corp operates.
So Marcus will not be able to compel them to give him a job as the offer was made and accepted orally.
However the offer resulted in him quitting his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and heading to the state where Super Corp was headquartered.
He relied on the offer to his detriment of losing his current job, so Super Corp owes him for the damages incurred

= (150,000 × 2) + (110,000 × 2 × 20%) - 60,000
= 300,000 + 44,000 - 60,000
= 284,000 lbs
Hence, the budgeted purchase of material for the september month is 284,000 lbs
