Murray Motor Company wants you to calculate its cost of common stock. During the next 12 months, the company expects to pay dividends (D1) of $3.00 per share, and the current price of its common stock is $60 per share. The expected growth rate is 8 percent.
a. Compute the cost of retained earnings (Ke). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Cost of retained earnings___%
b. If a $5 flotation cost is involved, compute the cost of new common stock (Kn). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of new common stock ____%
Answer:
a. Compute the cost of retained earnings (Ke)
$60 = $3 / (Ke - 8%)
Ke - 8% = $3 / $60 = 5%
Ke = 13%
b. If a $5 flotation cost is involved, compute the cost of new common stock (Kn).
$60 (1 - $5/$60) = $3 / (Kn - 8%)
$55 = $3 / (Kn - 8%)
Kn - 8% = $3 / $55 = 5.45%
Kn = 13.45%
Flotation costs reduce the amount of money that the company receives for every new stock that it issues, therefore, it increases the cost of new stocks.
During August, Boxer Company sells $348,000 in merchandise that has a one year warranty. Experience shows that warranty expenses average about 5% of the selling price. The warranty liability account has a credit balance of $11,000 before adjustment. Customers returned merchandise for warranty repairs during the month that used $7,600 in parts for repairs. The entry to record the estimated warranty expense for the month is:
Answer:
Dr Estimated Warranty Liability $8,600
Cr Spare Parts Inventory $8,600
Explanation:
The estimated warranty claim is worth $7,600 which means that the warranty claim must be debited by this amount as it was previously forecasted to be at $11,000 and in this month, the claim was worth $7,600. So decrease in warranty liability is necessary. Furthermore, the Spare Parts Inventory would be credited as the Spare parts would be used to fix the inventory which must be of $7,600 in value.
The double entry to record Warranty Repairs would be as under:
Dr Estimated Warranty Liability $8,600
Cr Spare Parts Inventory $8,600

A bond with a par value of $1,000 and an annual coupon has a yield to maturity of 5.60% and a current price of $975. If the bond has 18 years to maturity, what is its current yield?
Answer:
Current Yield is 5.74%
Explanation:
Current yield is the ratio of coupon payment of a bond to its current market price. It is calculated by using coupon payment and the current market value of the bond.
Coupon Payment = $1,000 x 5.6% = $56
Current market price = $975
Formula for Current yield is as follow
Current Yield = Annual Coupon Payment / Current Market Price
Current Yield = $56 / $975
Current Yield = 0.0574% = 5.74%

The Fime Corporation uses a standard costing system. The following data have been assembled for December: Actual direct labor-hours worked 6,200 hours Standard direct labor rate $7 per hour Labor efficiency variance $2,100 Unfavorable The standard hours allowed for December’s production is:
Answer:
5,900= standard quantity
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual direct labor-hours worked 6,200 hours
Standard direct labor rate $7 per hour
Labor efficiency variance $2,100 Unfavorable
To calculate the standard hour, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
-2,100 = (standard quantity - 6,200)*7
-2,100= 7standard quantity - 43,400
41,300/7 = standard quantity
5,900= standard quantity
Answer:
The standard hour allowed for December production is 5,900 hours
Explanation:
We will use labor efficiency variance to solve the above.
Labor efficiency variance = Standard rate (Standard hours - Actual hours)
Substituting the values given in the question,
-$2,100 = $7(Standard hour - 6,200)
-$2,100 = 7std hr - 43,400
7 Std hr = - $2,100 + $43,400
7 std hr = $41,300
std hr = 5,900 hours
The price of a stock at the end of each of the past three years has been $14, $12, and $11 with $11 being the latest price. The stock pays an annual dividend of $1 per share. What is the average annual capital gain for the past two years
Answer: 11.31%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the price of a stock at the end of each of the past three years has been $14, $12, and $11 with $11 being the latest price and that the stock pays an annual dividend of $1 per share.
The average annual capital gain for the past two years will be:
= (-$2/$14) + ($-1/$12)/2
= 11.31%
the for-profit unionized industries will be less productive. all taxpayers are better off. the union is economically harmful. the for-profit unionized industries will be harmed.
Answer: All taxpayers are better off.
Explanation:
In 2019, 23% of the Federal budget of $4.4 trillion was spent on Social Security which provided retirement benefits for about 45 million retired people. Most of this money came from Federal Revenues which are financed by Tax collections.
If the Unions helped more people secure pension benefits so that when they retire the Federal Government would not have to spend so much taking care of them, it can be argued that the amount of taxes paid by people would be less so all taxpayers would be better off.
Widgeon Co. manufactures three products: Bales, Tales, and Wales. The selling prices are $55, $78, and $32, respectively. The variable costs for each product are $20, $50, and $15, respectively. Each product must go through the same processing in a machine that is limited to 2,000 hours per month. Bales take 5 hours to process; Tales, 7 hours; and Wales 1 hour. Assuming that Widgeon Co. can sell all of the products it can make, what is the maximum contribution margin it can earn per month
Answer:
$3,400
Explanation:
Particulars Bales Tales Wales
Selling price 55 78 32
- Variable costs 20 50 15
Contribution margin 35 28 17
Required hours to process 5 hrs 7 hrs 1 hrs
Contribution margin per hours 7 4 17
Therefore, Widgeon Co. will earn maximum contribution only if it uses all its machine hours for production of wales
Maximum contribution margin = Contribution margin per hour * Number of machine hours
Maximum contribution margin = 17 * 2,000 hours
Maximum contribution margin = $3,400
Assuming that Widgeon Co. can sell all of the products it can make, the maximum contribution margin it can earn per month is $3,400. The difference between the sales price and the variable cost is the contribution margin.
A contribution margin calculates a product's profitability during production. The contribution margin of a business indicates how much income is left over after variable expenditures like raw materials and transportation are subtracted.
A product must have a higher leftover income after variable costs than the business' fixed expenses, such as salaries and insurance, in order to be profitable.

________ is the idea that organizations tend to be more effective when they are structured to fit the demands of the situation.
Answer: Contingency Approach
Explanation: The contingency approach is the idea that organizations tend to be more effective when they are structured to fit the demands of the situation. By fitting to the demands of the situation, it means that they are better equipped with alternatives to be put into operation if needed, especially in the case of emergencies, or in situations where earlier arrangements failed. The approach claims that there is no best way to organize a corporation, to lead a company, or to make decisions and therefore posits that the optimal course of action is contingent (dependent) upon the demands of the situation.

D. debit Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment for $66, 000 and credit Equipment for $66, 000
Answer:
Option B is the correct answer.
Explanation:
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal of the equipment, we first need to determine the book value of the equipment on the date of sale.
Net Book Value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
Net Book value = 72000 - 66000 = $6000
The gain/(loss) on disposal = Sales Proceeds - Net Book value
The gain/(loss) on disposal = 10000 - 6000 = $4000 Gain
The entry to record this transaction will be,
Cash $10000 Dr
Accumulated depreciation - Equipment $66000 Dr
Equipment $72000 Cr
Gain on sale-Equipment $4000 Cr

Answer:
$27,400 and $59,600
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense and the book value using the sum of-the-years'-digits method is shown below:
Depreciation expense is
= (Purchase cost - residual value) × useful life ÷ sum of years
= ($87,000 - $4,800) × 5 years ÷ (5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1)
= $27,400
And, the book value is
= Purchase cost - depreciation expense
= $87,000 - $27,400
= $59,600

Burke's Corner currently sells blue jeans and T-shirts. Management is considering adding fleece tops to its inventory to provide a cooler weather option. The tops would sell for $53 each with expected sales of 4,300 tops annually. By adding the fleece tops, management feels the firm will sell an additional 285 pairs of jeans at $65 a pair and 420 fewer T-shirts at $26 each. The variable cost per unit is $36 on the jeans, $16 on the T-shirts, and $31 on the fleece tops. With the new item, the depreciation expense is $33,000 a year and the fixed costs are $76,000 annually. The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the project's operating cash flow?
Answer: $26,282.25
Explanation:
The operating cash-flow will be the amount of cash the company got from sales less the amount they would have to pay on taxes.
Cash from tops
= (Sales price - Variable costs) * quantity
= ( 53 - 31) * 4,300
= $94,600
Cash from jeans
= ( 65 - 36) * 285
= $8,265
Cash from jeans
= (26 - 16) * -420
= -$4,200
As this deals with cash, a tax adjusted depreciation will need to be added back because it is a non cash expense and fixed costs will have to be deducted.
Pre-tax operating cash-flow = 94,600 + 8,265 - 4,200 - 76,000
= $22,665
Post-tax Project Operating cash-flow
= $22,665 * ( 1 - 0.35) + (depreciation * tax)
= $22,665 * ( 1 - 0.35) + (33,000 * 0.35)
= $14,732.25 + 11,550
= $26,282.25

An annuity provides for 30 annual payments. The first payment of 100 is made immediately and the remaining payments increase by 8 percent per annum. Interest is calculated at 13.4 percent per annum. Calculate the present value of this annuity.
Answer:
$1423.38
Explanation:
number of payments ( number of years )(n) = 30
first payment = $100
interest calculated at : 13.4 % = 0.134
increment rate : 8 percent = 0.08
we can calculate the present value using this Equation
= (p / (r-g)) * [1 - [(1+g)/(1+r)]^n ]
where :
p / (r-g) = 100 / (0.134 - 0.08 ) = $1852
[1 - ((1+g)/(1+r)]^n ) = (1 - ((1.08/1.134)^30 ) = 0.7686
hence the present value of this annuity = $1852 * 0.7686 = $1423.38
Note :
p ( first principal payment ) = $100
r ( calculated interest ) = 13.4% = 0.134
g ( increment interest ) = 8 % = 0.08
Three firms are currently producing and selling in a market. When one of the three firms exits the market, economists expect that the equilibrium price will ________ and the equilibrium quantity will ________.
Answer: higher; lower
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that three firms are currently producing and selling in a market. When one of the three firms exits the market, economists expect that there will be a rise in the equilibrium price while there will be a reduction in the equilibrium quantity.
This is because when one producer leaves, there will be less supply of the good that is sold, this will eventually lead to a rise in price.

Once a firm reaches the lowest point on the Long Run Average Total Cost Curve then the firm will automatically charge a lower prices for their product or service. The cost analysis model that we studied in Chapter 9 said that this is always the best strategy to effectively capture the maximum market share.
A- True
B- False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
As it is mentioned in the question that When a firm reaches a lowest point on the Long Run Average Total Cost Curve then it automatically charged a less price for the product and services they are rendering to the customer. But this lowest point deals in the only perfect competition also it would not capture the maximum market share but it would result into optimum production and goods supply at minimum price
