A well-known financial writer argues that he can earn 148 percent per year buying wine by the case. Specifically, he assumes that he will consume one $12 bottle of fine Bordeaux per week for the next 12 weeks. He can either pay $12 per week or buy a case of 12 bottles today. If he buys the case, he receives a 9 percent discount and, by doing so, earns the 148 percent. Assume he buys the wine and consumes the first bottle today. Calculate the EAR.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

EAR = 148%

Explanation:

calculating the EAR ( applying the formula for present value of annuity )

cost of case = 12 * 12 * ( 1 - 0.09 ) = 131.04

Pv   =  131.04

cost per case =  $12

no of weeks = 12 weeks

rate of the wine per ( IRR ) = IRR(57;56;55;;;;1)=  1.76319

rate of the wine per week = 1.76319%

therefore EAR = ( 1 + 0.0176319) ^52 - 1 = 148.15% ≈ 148%

Answers

Answer:

The amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021 is $26,250

Explanation:

In order to calculate the calculate the amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021 we would have to use the following formula:

amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021=(AOCI net gain 12/31/20-Corridor amount for 2021)/Average remaining service life

AOCI net gain 12/31/20=$1,512,000  

Corridor amount for 2021=$1,092,000=10,920,000*10%

Average remaining service life=16  

Therefore, AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021=($1,512,000-$1,092,000)/16

AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021=$26,250

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of ROI for each year of the asset's life and residual income each year is shown below:-

Year            Investment base              ROI                   Residual income

1                   $2,950,000                       8%                  -$233,500

2                  $2,212,500                          11%                 -$233,500

3                   $1,475,000                          17%                  -$115,500

4                   $737,500                             34%                 -$56,500

ROI = Net income ÷ Total investment × 100

Net Income = Cash flow - Depreciation

Residual income = Net income - (Investment × Cost of capital)

Depreciation = Investment base ÷ 4 years

The book income amount does not include any sales of capital assets or Sec. 1231 assets or any taxminusexempt income. Based on the above​ information, what amount should be reported as ordinary income on the partnership​ return?

Answers

Answer:

$86,000

Explanation:

A partnership is a pass through entity that is not taxed directly, but instead its partners are taxed. Even the partners' salaries are recorded as drawings, not salary expense.

The partnership's total ordinary income = book income + any donations or contributions to charities = $80,000 + $6,000 = $86,000

A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be restated.

Answers

Answer:

A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported.

Explanation:

Since the accounting method is being changed from FIFO to LIFO, any adjusting of prior year balances would be impractical. If the change is from LIFO to FIFO, then it makes more sense to adjust prior year balances. By impractical, it means that any changes would be too difficult and expensive to determine, and the value of the change  is insignificant (materiality principle).

Generally US GAAP rules require that changes from FIFO to LIFO be disclosed in the footnotes only.

The following information will be used for 2 questions on this exam: Charlotte Corporation's management keeps track of the time it takes to process orders. During the most recent month, the following average times were recorded per order: Time spent between receipt of order and start of production 3.7 days Time spent ensuring quality levels 0.2 days Time spent working on the product 1.3 days Time spent transporting the product between work stations 0.8 days Time spent waiting to be worked on in the factory 6.9 days What is the throughput time?

Answers

Answer:

6.00 days

Explanation:

data provided

Inspection time = 3.7 days

Process time = 0.2 days

Move time = 1.3 days

Queue time = 0.8 days

The calculation of throughput time is given below:-

Throughput time = Inspection time + Process time + Move time + Queue time

= 3.7 days + 0.2 days + 1.3 days + 0.8 days

= 6.00 days

Here, we added the inspection time, process time , move time and queue time to reach at throughput time and we ignore the time spent waiting to be worked on in the factory as it is not relevant.

Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A

Answers

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Correlation r = 0.9,

Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,

Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3

The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula

Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB

Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3

Hedge ratio = 0.6

Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.

On January 1, 2021, the Blackstone Corporation purchased a tract of land (site number 11) with a building for $600,000. Additionally, Blackstone paid a real estate brokerâs commission of $36,000, legal fees of $6,000, and title insurance of $18,000. The closing statement indicated that the land value was $500,000 and the building value was $100,000. Shortly after acquisition, the building was razed at a cost of $75,000.
Blackstone entered into a $3,000,000 fixed-price contract with Barnett Builders, Inc., on March 1, 2021, for the construction of an office building on land site 11. The building was completed and occupied on September 30, 2022. Additional construction costs were incurred as follows:
Plans, specifications, and blueprints .....................$ 12,000
Architectsâ fees for design and supervision ............95,000
To finance the construction cost, Blackstone borrowed $3,000,000 on March 1, 2021. The loan is payable in 10 annual installments of $300,000 plus interest at the rate of 14%. Blackstoneâs average amounts of accumulated building construction expenditures were as follows:
For the period March 1 to December 31, 2021 ...........$ 900,000
For the period January 1 to September 30, 2022 .......2,300,000
Required:
1. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022.
2. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022.

Answers

Answer:

Blackstone Corporation

1. A schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022:

Cost of Land =              $600,000

Broker's Commission =  $36,000

Legal Fees  =                    $6,000

Title Insurance =              $18,000

Razing of old building =  $75,000

Total  =                          $735,000

2. A schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022:

Payment to contractor for building =  $3,000,000

Plans, specifications, and blueprints =      $12,000

Architect's fees (design & supervision = $95,000

Capitalized Interest ($3m x14%/10 x 2) = $84,000

Total =                                                    $3,191,000

Explanation:

a) The cost of land to recognize includes the actual cost for the parcel of land, including the building which was razed.  All other expenses incurred ordinarily and necessarily in order to put the land to its intended use are also capitalized.  The costs for the broker's commission, legal fees, title insurance, and razing of old building were incurred ordinarily and necessarily for the land and are therefore capitalized in determining the value of the land.

b) The capitalized interest portion for the building is the interests paid to date.  The contractor's fee, payments for plans, architect's fee, and interests are included as costs of the building.

Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $116,600. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 20,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $6,600. The equipment was used for 8,700 hours during Year 1, 7,380 hours in Year 2, and 3,920 hours in Year 3. Required: 1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ended December 31 by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the three years by each method. (Note: For STRAIGHT-LINE ONLY, round the first two years to the nearest whole dollar, then round the third year as necessary. For DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to five decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.) 2. What method yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1

Answers

Answer:

Straight-line method: $36,667 yearly depreciation expense for 3 years. Unit-of-production method: Year 1 - $47,850, Year 2 -  $40,590, Year 3 - $21,560Double-declining method: Year 1 - $77,737, Year 2 -  $25,910, Year 3 - $6,353

Total for 3 years is $110,000 for all the depreciation methods.

Explanation:

(A) Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / Estimated useful life = ($116,600 - $6,600) / 3 years = $36,667 yearly depreciation expense.

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $36,667 x 3 years is $110,000.

(B) The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:

(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year

At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 8,700 hours = $47,850

At Year 2, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 7,380 hours = $40,590

At Year 3, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 3,920 hours = $21,560

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $47,850 +$40,590 + $21,560 = $110,000.

Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Year 1.

(C) The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:

Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV

SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

BV = Book value

SLDP is 100%/3 years = 33.33%, then 33.33% multiplied by 2 to give 66.67% or 2/3

At Year 1, 66.67% X $116,600 = $77,737

At Year 2, 66.67% X $38,863 ($116,600 -  $77,737) = $25,910

At Year 3, 66.67% X $12,953 ($38,863 -  $25,910) = $8,636. This depreciation will decrease the book value of the asset below its salvage value $12,953 - $8,636 = $4,317 < $6,600. Depreciation will only be allowed up to the point where the book value = salvage value. Consequently the depreciation for Year 3 will be $6,353.

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $77,737 + $25,910 + $6,353 = $110,000.

If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.

Answers

Answer:

Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)

Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)

Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

Explanation:

Given:

Retained earnings = $2.7 million

Common shares account = $4.7 million

Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million

Stock dividend = 10%

Find:

Changes in account.

Computation:

1. Change in retained earnings

Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend

Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%

Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million

Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)

2. Change in common shares account

Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)

Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)

Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)

3. Change in additional paid-in capital

Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend

Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%

Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million

Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

Prepayments are discouraged in CMBS through defeasance,prepayment penalties or yield maintenance fees.

Answer:

a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS

d. The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal

Explanation:

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) as the name implies are mortgage backed securities that are secured with commercial mortgages while Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) are mortgage backed securities secured by residential property.

a) CMBS are based on mortgages which usually have a fixed term contract in place meaning that prepayment is less of a thing with CMBS than with RMBS so the former does indeed have a less exposure to prepayment risk than the latter.

d) This is indeed true because both packages have to look appealing to investors but can only use different amounts to reach the minimum threshold. This is because Commercial Mortgages pay more than Residential Mortgages so more RMBS have to be pulled together to form an attractive investment as opposed to CMBS. This is why the number in CMBS are usually less than that of RMBS.

Which of the following statements generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists? a. Increases in the money supply shift aggregate demand to the right. b. In the long run, increases in the money supply increase prices, but not output. c. Recessions are associated with decreases in consumption, investment, and employment. d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.

Answers

Answer:

d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.

Explanation:

Suggesting that the government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists because the process of implementing fiscal policy usually experiences lag as it is being slowed down by the political system (bureaucracy) of checks and balances.

Fiscal policy is the use of government expenditures, revenues and tax policies to influence macroeconomic conditions such as employment, inflation and Aggregate Demand (ADl in a specific country.

The benefits of fiscal policy is that investments, savings and growth is usually influenced in the long-run while it basically influences aggregate demand for goods and services in the short-run.

Your bagel shop uses both capital and labor in the production of bagels. In this production process capital and labor are substitutes. If you install a new oven and the marginal product of capital increases, you will:

a. reduce the number of workers you employ
b. increase the number of workers you employ
c. reduce the amount of capital you are using not make any changes since you are already maximizing profit

Answers

Answer:

The answer is option A) reduce the number of workers you employ

Explanation:

Installing a new oven is capital intensive. So, for a business person to incur an additional capital cost to aid the efficiency of production, something has to give.

In this case, where capital and labor are substitutes, installing a new oven will drastically reduce the workload thereby necessitating a reduction in the number of workers.

By implication, the cost of paying wages which is a recurrent expenditure will reduce. In the long run and if the oven is maintained, it will e a very cost effective option.

Installing a new oven also suggests a marginal increment in capital.

Consider two independent firms, BU1 and BU2, which transact with each other through spot market transactions in a competitive market. In a typical year, BU1 incurs total costs of $2 million in producing goods that BU2 buys. BU2 would be willing to pay up to $7.5 million for these goods, but because of the competitive market, ends up paying $5 million. What is the value captured by BU1 from these transactions?

Answers

Answer:

Value captured by BU1 = $5.5 million

Explanation:

Given:

Two firm = BU1 , BU2

BU1 cost of production = $2 million

BU2 will able to pay up-to =  $7.5 million

BU2 will pay = $5 million:

Find:

Value captured by BU1 = ?

Computation:

⇒ Value captured by BU1 = BU2 will able to pay up-to - BU1 cost of production

⇒ Value captured by BU1 = $7.5 million - $2 million

Value captured by BU1 = $5.5 million

Based on the information given  the value captured by BU1 from these transactions is $3 million.

The value captured by the seller (BU1)

Seller value =Value BU1 is willing to sell -Value at which he sold

Where:

Value BU1 is willing to sell=$5 million

Value at which he sold=$2 million

Let plug in the formula

Seller value=$5 million-$2 million

Seller value= $3 million

Inconclusion  the value captured by BU1 from these transactions is $3 million.

0% 0% 200,000 12.3%
15 7.8 175,000 13.1
30 9.1 140,000 14.2

Calculate earnings per share for each level of indebtedness.

Answers

Answer:

Earnings per share:

0% debt = $5.145 per share

15% debt = $5.487 per share

30% debt = $6.203 per share

45% debt =  $6.386 per share

60% debt = $6.570 per share

Explanation:

The earnings per share is the monetary value of how much each share of common stock outstanding has earned. The earnings per share can be calculated by dividing the Net Income attributable to common stockholders by the number of common stock shares outstanding.

Net Income attributable to Common stockholders = Net Income - Preferred stock dividends

Thus, Earnings per share = (Net Income - Preferred stock dividends) / Number of common stock shares outstanding

To calculate Earnings per share at each level of indebtedness, we first need to calculate the net income at each debt level. The net income will change as interest is deducted before calculating net income.

Net Income = EBIT - interest - tax

Total debt = Total assets * weightage of debt in capital structure

Tax = EBT * tax rate

a. 0% debt

Net Income = 2,050,000 - 0 - (2050000 * 0.4) = $1,230,000

Earnings per share = (1230000 - 201000) / 200000   =  $5.145 per share

b. 15% debt

Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.15 = 1470000

EBT = 2,050,000 - (1470000 * 0.078)  =  $1935340

Net Income = 1935340 - ( 1935340 * 0.4) = $1161204

Earnings per share = (1161204 - 201000) / 175000   =  $5.487 per share

c. 30% debt

Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.30 = 2940000

EBT = 2050000 - (2940000 * 0.091)   =  $1782460

Net Income = 1782460 - (1782460 * 0.4) = $1069476

Earnings per share = (1069476 - 201000) / 140000   =  $6.203 per share

d. 45% debt

Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.45 = 4410000

EBT = 2050000 - (4410000 * 0.121)   =  $1516390

Net Income = 1516390 - (1516390 * 0.4) = $909834

Earnings per share = (909834 - 201000) / 111000   =  $6.386 per share

e. 60% debt

Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.60 = 5880000

EBT = 2050000 - (5880000 * 0.152)  =  $1156240

Net Income = 1156240 - (1156240 * 0.4) = $693744

Earnings per share = (693744 - 201000) / 75000   =  $6.570 per share

A bidding firm, A, is worth $27,000 as a stand-alone entity. A target firm, B, is worth $12,000 as a stand-alone entity, but $18,000 if it is acquired and integrated with Firm A. Several other firms are interested in acquiring Firm B, and Firm B is also worth $18,000 if it is acquired by these other firms. If A acquired B, would this acquisition create value? If yes, how much? How much of this value would the equity holders of A receive? How much would the equity holders of B receive?

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Firm A’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $27,000

Firm B’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $12,000

But if Firm A acquired Firm B it’s increase worth of Firm B at $18000.

Firm A is acquired Firm B, this acquisition create value of

= $18,000 - $12000

= $6000.

With this acquisition equity holders of Firms received $18,000 which is $6,000 more than Firm B stand alone.

The variable overhead rate is $1.20 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,560 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,790. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The August cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:

Answers

Answer:

Total cash= $101,130

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated direct labor hours=  7,800

The variable overhead rate is $1.20 per direct labor-hour.

The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,560 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,790.

We need to deduct the depreciation expense because it is not a cash disbursement.

Cash disbursement:

Variable overhead= 7,800*1.2= $9,360

Fixed overhead= (100,560 - 8,790)= $91,770

Total cash= $101,130

The court will probably decide that this law violates: a. the Free Exercise clause. b. the Supremacy clause. c. the Equal Protection clause. d. the Establishment clause.

Answers

Answer: d. the Establishment clause.

Explanation:

The Establishment Clause was put in place as a limitation by the United States Congress to prevent excesses or stop it from passing legislation forcing an establishment, religion, which broadly made it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote a specific religion with taxes. As this is the case with the state asking business to donate 10% of their profit to Protestant.

Answer:

The establishment clause.

Explanation:

Establishment clause, also called establishment-of-religion clause, clause in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbidding Congress from establishing a state religion. It prevents the passage of any law that gives preference to or forces belief in any one religion. It is paired with a clause that prohibits limiting the free expression of religion.

As the citizenry became more diverse, however, challenges arose to existing laws and practices, and eventually, the Supreme Court was called upon to determine the meaning of the establishment clause.

Though not explicitly stated in the First Amendment, the clause is often interpreted to mean that the Constitution requires the separation of church and state.

Markley Manufacturing calculated its predetermined overhead rate to be 120% of direct labor cost. During June, the company incurred $90,000 of factory labor costs, of which $85,000 is direct labor and $5,000 is indirect labor. Actual overhead incurred was $84,000. Compute the amount of manufacturing overhead applied during the month. Determine the amount of under- or over-applied manufacturing overhead.

Answers

Answer:

Applied Manufacturing Overheads are $102,000

Overapplied Manufacturing overheads are $18,000

Explanation:

Under or over applied manufacturing overhead can be determined by comparing the actual and applied manufacturing overheads.

Applied overheads can be calculated by multiplying pre-determined overhead rate and actual level of quantity. Predetermined overhead rate is calculated using estimated overhead and estimated activity on which overheads are applied.

In this question the predetermined overhead rate is 120% of direct labor cost.

Applied overhead = Direct labor cost x 120% = $85,000 x 120% = $102,000

Actual overheads incurred = $84,000

Overapplied Manufacturing overheads = $102,000 - $84,000 = $18,000

Most materials expand when their temperatures increase. Such thermal expansion, which is explained by the increase in the average distance between the constituent molecules, plays an important role in engineering. In fact, as the temperature increases or decreases, the changes in the dimensions of various parts of bridges, machines, etc., may be significant enough to cause trouble if not taken into account. That is why power lines are always sagging and parts of metal bridges fit loosely together, allowing for some movement. It turns out that for relatively small changes in temperature, the linear dimensions change in direct proportion to the temperature. For instance, if a rod has length L0 at a certain temperature T0 and length L at a higher temperature T, then the change in length of the rod is proportional to the change in temperature and to the initial length of the rod: L - L0 = L0(T - T0), or L = L0T.Here, is a constant called the coefficient of linear expansion; its value depends on the material. A large value of means that the material expands substantially as the temperature increases; smaller values of indicate that the material tends to retain its dimensions. For instance, quartz does not expand much; aluminum expands a lot. The value of for aluminum is about 60 times that of quartz!
