Answer:
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution is $85,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution we would have to use the following formula:
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=original basis +increase/decrease in basis from gain from property distribution
original basis=$50,000
basis from gain from property distribution=$40,000-$5,000
basis from gain from property distribution=$35,000
Therefore, J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=$50,000+$35,000
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=$85,000

A firm that has an ROE of 12% is considering cutting its dividend payout. The stockholders of the firm desire a dividend yield of 4% and a capital gain yield of 9%. Given this information, which of the following statements is (are) correct? I. All else equal, the firm's growth rate will accelerate after the payout change. II. All else equal, the firm's stock price will go up after the payout change. III. All else equal, the firm's P/E ratio will increase after the payout change. Multiple Choice I only
Answer:
I only is correct. That is, all else equal, the firm's growth rate will accelerate after the payout change.
Explanation:
Holding every other condition constant, the cutting of the company's dividend payout will lead to a permanent fall in the dividend per share and this will cause a decrease in price.
However, the cutting the company's dividend payout will increased the retention rate that will increase the growth rate of the company.
Therefore, all else equal, the firm's growth rate will accelerate after the payout change.

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
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.

Matt and Joel are equal partners in the MJ Partnership. For the current year ended December 31, the partnership has book income of $80,000, which includes the following deductions: (1) guaranteed payments (salaries) to partners: Matt, $35,000; and Joel, $25,000; and (2) charitable contributions, $6,000. 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?
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
Colil Computer Systems, Inc., manufactures printer circuit cards. All direct materials are added at the inception of the production process. During January, the accounting department noted that there was no beginning inventory. Direct materials of $ 300 comma 000 were used in production during the month. Workminusinminusprocess records revealed that 12 comma 500 card units were started in January, 6 comma 250 card units were complete, and 4 comma 000 card units were spoiled as expected. Ending workminusinminusprocess card units are complete in respect to direct materials costs. Spoilage is not detected until the process is complete. What is the direct material cost assigned to good units completed? A. $ 258 comma 621 B. $ 150 comma 000 C. $ 96 comma 000 D. $ 246 comma 000
Answer:
D. $246,000
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of direct material cost assigned to good units completed is provided below:-
To reach Cost transferred out we need to follow some steps which is following below:-
Step 1. Cost per unit = cost of material used ÷ Units started
= $300,000 ÷ 12,500
= $24
Now,
Step 2. Goods units completed = Started units × Cost per unit
= 6,250 × $24
= $150,000
Step 3. Normal spoilage = Cards units × Cost per unit
= 4,000 × $24
= $96,000
and finally
Cost transferred out = Goods units completed + Normal spoilage
= $150,000 + $96,000
= $246,000
To reach allocation of Cost transferred out we simply put the values into formula.

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.
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.

Anderson Steel Company began 2018 with 550,000 shares of common stock outstanding. On March 31, 2018, 140,000 new shares were sold at a price of $50 per share. The market price has risen steadily since that time to a high of $55 per share at December 31. No other changes in shares occurred during 2018, and no securities are outstanding that can become common stock. However, there are two agreements with officers of the company for future issuance of common stock. Both agreements relate to compensation arrangements reached in 2017. The first agreement grants to the company president a right to 42,000 shares of stock each year the closing market price is at least $53. The agreement begins in 2019 and expires in 2022. The second agreement grants to the controller a right to 47,000 shares of stock if she is still with the firm at the end of 2026. Net income for 2018 was $5,200,000.
Required:
Compute Anderson Steel Company's basic and diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2018. (Enter your answers in thousands.)
Answer:
EPS = $7.94
diluted EPS = $7.94, since there are no diluted shares in 2018
Explanation:
January 2018 = 550,000 common stocks
March 31 = 140,000 new shares issued = 105,000 weighted stocks
net income = $5,200,000
EPS = net income / weighted common stocks = $5,200,000 / (550,000 + 105,000) = $5,200,000 / 655,000 stocks = $7.939 ≈ $7.94 per stock
there are no diluted shares since the agreement with the president of the board starts in 2019, and we are calculating the EPS for 2018. The same applies to the controller, since her agreement starts in 2026.
Suppose that you are the international treasurer of Apple with an extra U.S. $10 million to invest for 9 months. You are considering the purchase of U.S. T-bills that yield 1.50% annual rate. The spot exchange rate is $1.00 = ¥100, and the 9 month forward rate is $1.00 = ¥110. What must the interest rate in Japan be before you are willing to consider investing there for 9 months? A. 14.5515 B. <8.8975 C. >13.4983 D. 12.5050
Answer:
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%
Explanation:
As per Interest Rate Parity Theory
Spot Rate : 1$ = 100
Forward Rate : 1 $ = 110
r = 9/12
As per interest rate parity, forward rate = Spot rate(1+Interest rate Japan)/(1+Interest rate US)
Forward rate = Spot rate *(1+ iD)/(1+iF)
110 / 100 = (1 + Japan Interest Rate * 9 /12) / 1.01125
1.1 * 1.01125 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
1.112375 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 1.112375 - 1
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 0.112375
Japan Interest Rate = 0.112375 / 0.75
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%

Harry and Meghan have considered starting their own business but are concerned about the possibility of losing even their personal assets if the business fails. One way for BOTH Harry and Meghan to avoid this liability risk would be to :
A.
divorce as soon as possible and establish two sole proprietorships
B.
Organize a limited partnership with Harry as the general partner
C.
set up offshore accounts
D.
form a corporation
Answer:
The correct option is D,form a corporation
Explanation:
The rationale for my choice of answer is that limited liability applies to a corporation which is found in other types of businesses.
Limited liability is a concept which implies that the liability of shareholders in a limited liability company is limited to the amount contributed to the business by a way of shares held in the company.
When a company runs into debt,the shareholders would not be required to make up such debts from their private pockets,hence Harry and Meghan personal effects are secure.
The way for Harry and Meghan to avoid liability risk is to form a corporation
Typically, a limited liability applies to a corporation which means that the owner liability is limited to the amount he owns in the business.
Limited liability implies that liability of shareholders is limited to the amount contributed to the business by a way of shares held in the company.
So, when company runs into debt, the shareholders would not be required to make up such debts from their private pockets,therefore, the investment of Harry and Meghan are secure.
Hence, the only way for Harry and Meghan to avoid liability risk is to form a corporation
Therefore, the Option D is correct.

In performing accounting services for small businesses, you encounter the following situations per taining to cash sales. 1. Poole Company enters sales and sales taxes separately in its cash register. On April 10, the register totals are sales $30,000 and sales taxes $1,500. 2. Waterman Company does not segregate sales and sales taxes. Its register total for April 15 is $25,680, which includes a 7% sales tax. Prepare the entry to record the sales transactions and related taxes for each client.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, journal entries of the given data are as follow:-
1.Journal Entry of Poole Company
April 10
Cash A/c Dr. $31,500
To Sales A/c $30,000
To Sales tax payable A/c $1,500
(Being the sales and sales tax payable is recorded)
2. Since Register total for April $25,680 includes 7% sales tax.
So Sales of Waterman Company
= Registered Total Amount ÷ (1 + Sales Tax Rate)
= $25,680 ÷ (1 + 7%)
= $25,680 ÷ 1.07
= $24,000
Now
Sales tax = $24,000 × 7% = $1,680
Journal Entry of Waterman Company
On 15 April
Cash A/c Dr. $25,680
To Sales A/c $24,000
To Sales tax payable A/c $1,680
(Being the sales and sales tax payable is recorded)
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?
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.

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
Hancock Medical Supply Co., earned $90,500 of revenue on account during Year 1, its first year of operation. During Year 1, Hancock collected $71,400 of cash from its receivables accounts. The company did not write-off any uncollectible accounts. It estimates that it will be unable to collect 1% of revenue on account. What is the net realizable value of receivables that will be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 1
Answer:
$18,195
Explanation:
The computation of the net realizable value is shown below:
As we know that
Net Realizable Value of Receivables = Ending Accounts Receivable - Estimated Uncollectibles amount
where,
Ending balance of Accounts Receivable is
= Revenue on Account - Accounts collected
= $90,500 - $71,400
= $191,00
And,
Estimated Uncollectibles i.e Bad debt Expense is
= Revenue on Account × given percentage
= $90,500 × 1%
= $905
So, the net realizable value is
= $19,100 - $905
= $18,195
We simply applied the above formula

The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that Group of answer choices a. the focused differentiators have a broader competitive scope b. the value-creating activities of focused differentiators are more constrained. c. focused differentiators target a narrower customer market d. there are fewer risks with the focused differentiation strategy.
Answer:
The answer is option C) The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that focused differentiators target a narrower customer market.
Explanation:
Product differentiation is a marketing strategy that creates competitive advantage with designing a product superior to that of rivals, priced higher and sometimes created for exclusive users.
However, the focused differentiation strategy takes it a step further by targeting a small group of customers with ostensible goods.
The bourgeoisie are the main target for focused differentiators. They have the economic power to foot the bill and they enjoy the exclusivity of being the few to consume such products. A good example of such products is the Bugatti and Ferrari.
Foreman Mining purchased land containing a copper deposit for $2,640,000 on January 7, 2021. The company expects to mine 770,000 tons of copper over the next 10 years, and the land is expected to have a residual value of $1,408,000. The company has also purchased mining equipment for $570,000 that will be used only at this site over the 10 years with an estimated residual value of $54,100. By the end of the first year, the company has mined and sold 61,000 tons of copper. What is the cost attributed to copper inventory for 2021, assuming the company uses the units-of-production method?
Answer:
$138,470
Explanation:
cost of mine = $2,640,000
residual value of the land = $1,408,000
cost of equipment = $570,000
residual value = $54,100
it should contain 770,000 tons of copper
units of production depreciation method:
depreciation of mine = ($2,640,000 - $1,408,000) / 770,000 tons of copper = $1.60 per ton of copperdepreciation of equipment = ($570,000 - $54,100) / 770,000 tons of copper = $0.67 per ton of coppertotal depreciation per ton of copper = $1.60 + $0.67 = $2.27since 61,000 tons were extracted, then the depreciation expense = 61,000 x $2.27 = $138,470
A company used straight-line depreciation for an item of equipment that cost $15,350, had a salvage value of $3,200 and a six-year useful life. After depreciating the asset for three complete years, the salvage value was reduced to $1,535 but its total useful life remained the same. Determine the amount of depreciation to be charged against the equipment during each of the remaining years of its useful life: Multiple Choice $2,880. $5,672. $1,215. $2,580. $3,200.
Answer:
The correct answer is $2,580.
Explanation:
Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($15,350 - $3,200) / 6 years = $2,025 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation at Year 3 = $2,025 x 3 = $6,075
Net book value (NBV) becomes $15,350 - $6,075 = $9,275
New depreciation is ($9,275 - $1,535) / 3 years = $2,580 yearly depreciation expenses
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Assume you can invest money at a 14 percent rate of return. How much money must be invested now to be able to withdraw $5,000 from this investment at the end of each year for eight years, the first withdrawal occurring one year from now
Answer:
the original amount invested = $285,714.29
Explanation:
Let original amount invested be x
Amount to be withdrawn per year = $5,000
Total number of years = 8
Total amount to be withdrawn = 5,000 × 8 = $40,000
Next, we are told that 14% return on x is realized,
∴ 14% return on x = $40,000
0.14 × x = 40,000
x = 40,000 ÷ 0.14 = $285,714.29
Therefore, the original amount invested = $285,714.29
Dan Bumblauskas is the owner of a small Iowa company that produces electric knives used to cut fabric. The annual demand is for 10 comma 500 knives, and Dan produces the knives in batches. On average, Dan can produce 190 knives per day; during the production process, demand has been about 70 knives per day. The cost to set up the production process is $85, and it costs Dan $1.10 to carry a knife for 1 year. How many knives should Dan produce in each batch?
Answer:
1,012.36 knives produced in each month
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Annual demand = 10,500
Ordering cost = $85
Holding cost = $1.10
Daily demand = 70 knives per day
Production knives per day = 190 knives
Based on the given information, we need to apply the formula which is shown below:[tex]Economic\ order\ quantity = \sqrt{\frac{2\times annual\ demand \times ordering\ cost}{holding\ cost} \times 1 - \frac{daily\ demand}{production}[/tex]
[tex]Economic\ order\ quantity = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 10,500 \times\$85}{\$1.10} \times 1 - \frac{70}{190}[/tex]
= 1,012.36 knives produced in each month
We simply applied the above formula to find out the knives produced in each batch

Please help ASAP giving BRAINLIEST , Did I get this correct?
Answer:
No, in my opinion I would choose:
A) the properties of free-market system that determine what the outcomes will be.
Explanation:
That would be my answer because the definition of market forces is "the economic factors affecting the price of, demand for, and availability of a commodity."(off the internet) and the answer which fits that definition the most in my opinion is A.
That would be my answer at least.
Hope this helps!
