Answer:
$10,000 credited
Explanation:
DATA
Machine cost = 510,000
Salvage value = $60,000
Useful life = 6 years
Depreciation = $60,000/6years
Depreciation = $10,000
It means that we have overstated depreciation expense for the year with the amount of $10,000.
Retained earnings will be credited by $10,000 As the depreciation expense was overstated mistakenly by $10,000
Walter Utilities is a dividend-paying company and is expected to pay an annual dividend of $1.45 at the end of the year. Its dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.50% per year. If Walter's stock currently trades for $15.00 per share, what is the expected rate of return?
Answer:
Expected return in( %) =16.80 %
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model (DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset.
According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.
If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the expected return on share can be determined as follows:
Ke=Do (1+g)/P + g
Do - dividend in the following year, Ke- requited rate of return , g- growth rate, P-price
DATA:
Do- 1.45
g- 6.5%
P- price
Ke = (1.45× (1.065)/15) + 0.065= 0.16795
Return in % = 0.16795 × 100 = 16.80 %
Return in( %) =16.80 %
Assume that a purely competitive firm has the following schedule of average and marginal costs:
Output AFC AVC ATC MC
1 $300 $100 $400 $100
2 150 75 225 50
3 100 70 170 60
4 75 73 148 80
5 60 80 140 110
6 50 90 140 140
7 43 103 146 180
8 38 119 156 230
9 33 138 171 290
10 30 160 190 360
Instructions: Enter all values as whole numbers. If any values are negative, please enter them with a (-) sign.
a) At a price $55, the firm would produce ____ units of output. At a price of $120, the firm would produce ____ units of output. At a price of $200, the firm would produce ____ units of output.
b) The per-unit economic profit (or loss) is calculated by subtracting at a particular level of output from the product price. This per-unit economic profit is then multiplied by the number of units of ___ to determine the economic profit for the competitive firm.
i) At the product price of $200, the average total costs are $____, so per-unit economic profit is
$____. Multiplying this amount by the number of units of output results in an economic
profit of $____.
ii) At the product price of $120, the average total costs are $____, so per-unit economic losses are $____. Multiplying this amount by the number of units of output results in an economic loss of $____.
Answer:
a) At a price $55, the firm would produce 3 units of output.
At a price of $120, the firm would produce 6 units of output.
At a price of $200, the firm would produce 7 units of output.
The rule is Price = Marginal Cost for a competitive firm
b) The per-unit economic profit (or loss) is calculated by subtracting ATC at a particular level of output from the product price. This per-unit economic profit is then multiplied by the number of units of output to determine the economic profit for the competitive firm.
i) At the product price of $200, the average total costs are $146 , so per-unit economic profit is $54 . Multiplying this amount by the number of units of output results in an economic profit of $378 .
Explanation:
At P = 200, output produced is 7 units
ATC is $146
Per-unit economic profit = 200 - 146 = $54
Hence, Total economic profit = $54 x 7 = $378
ii) At the product price of $120, the average total costs are $140 , so per-unit economic losses are $ -20. Multiplying this amount by the number of units of output results in an economic loss of $-100.
Explanation: At P = 20, output produced will be 5 units. 6th unit will not be produced as it will result in even greater loss.
Total loss = ($140 - $120) x 5 = $100
the lower the discount rate to the federal funds rate the more likely a commercial bank will brrow from
Answer: the fed rather than borrowing from another commercial bank.
Explanation:
Based on the question, if there is a scenario whereby the discount rate to the federal funds rate is lower, the logical thing to do is to borrow from the fed rather than borrowing from another commercial bank.
This is because borrowing from fed rather than borrowing from another commercial bank mean that there's less risk attached.
Your portfolio has a beta of 1.60. The portfolio consists of 16 percent U.S. Treasury bills, 36 percent Stock A, and 48 percent Stock B. Stock A has a risk level equivalent to that of the overall market. What is the beta of Stock B?
Answer: 2.58
Explanation:
Portfolio beta of 1.60 is weighted average of all the constituent betas.
US Treasury bills are riskless so beta is 0
Stock A has market risk so beta is 1.
1.60 = (0.16 * 0) + ( 0.36 * 1) + ( 0.48 * b)
1.60 = 0.36 + 0.48b
0.48b = 1.24
b = 2.58
Next week, Mortimer is preparing to go to work for the Illinois department of Child Services. He was surprised when his friends told him that he was going to have to pay one percent of his salary to the union that represents the unionized workers that would include Mortimer, whether he joined the union or not - a so-called agency fee to prevent 'free riders'. This was for services provided to Mortimer, including collective bargaining and grievance representation. Mortimer was shocked - no one had told him about this! What advice would you provide to Mortimer?
Answer:
The implication is that the Illinois Department of Child Services is a unionized workplace.
Mortimer will derive better benefits that surpass the costs of membership. He is covered in all collective bargains, even when he resigns his union membership. Unions negotiate for better working conditions, higher pays, and improved benefits.
When Mortimer has any grievance against the department, the union will also represent him, thereby making his life easier since unions can negotiate better with employers than individual workers.
Mortimer is even lucky to find a job at a unionized workplace because the jobs are not usually advertised as union members easily bring in their relatives and friends to occupy such vacancies.
Explanation:
Most of the disadvantages that Mortimer should complain about unions are disadvantages to the employer and not to him as an individual worker. For the employer, the union acts as a form of monopoly that can decide whether the workers would work or not. The unionized workers are not easy to replace with other workers.
Consider the WACC formula, if the required rate of return on preferred stock increases, holding all else equal, the WACC increases.
a) true
b) false
Answer: True
Explanation:
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) calculates the cost of capital to a company for the means of capital it uses to finance operations. It is based on the cost and the weight of the various capital types.
Formula is;
= Cost of Equity * %Equity + Cost of debt * %Debt * ( 1 - Tax rate) + Cost of Preferred Stock * %Preferred stock
The required rate of return on preferred stock is the same as the Cost of Preferred Stock. From the formula it is shown that if this rate increases, holding all else equal, total WACC will increase.
Brorsen, Inc., has just designed a new product with a target cost of $64. Brorsen requires new product to have a profit of 20%. What is the target price for the new product
Answer:
$80
Explanation:
Brosen incorporation has just designed a new product.
The target cost of the new product is $64
Let y represent the target price
Broken requires the new product to have a profit of 20%
= 20/100 × y
= 0.2×y
= 0.2y
Therefore, the target price can be calculated as follows
Target cost+ Target profit= Target price
64 + 0.2y= y
64= y-0.2y
64= 0.8y
y= 64/0.8
y= 80
Hence the target price for the new product is $80
e. Assume that the average price of a new home is $132,500. If new homes are increasing at a rate of 8% per year, how much will a new home cost in seven years? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
A new home will cost $227081.72 in seven years.
Explanation:
To calculate the value or price of the new home in seven years, we need to calculate the future value of $132500 increasing at a rate of 8% per year for 7 years. The formula to calculate the future value will be,
Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the rate which will be used for compoundingt is the time in number of yearsFuture value = 132500 * (1+0.08)^7
Future value = $227081.7156 rounded off to $227081.72

A self-employed client has an annual income of $200,000 and is in a high tax bracket. He is not covered by a retirement plan and would like to make the maximum contribution to one to reduce his taxable income. He believes that he will be in a lower tax bracket once he retires. The BEST recommendation is to contribute to a:
Answer:
Simplified Employee Pension IRA (SEP)
Explanation:
Simplified employee pension IRA is most suitable for this client because it is easy to set up and operate. Most importantly it requires a maximum of 20% of the contributor's income. The amount required is capped at $54,000.
In this case 20% of the employee's income is 0.20 * 200,000 = $40,000
So this is a right fit.
Roth IRA will not work because maximum contribution is $5,500
Traditional IRA will also not work because it requires a maximum contribution of $5,500 or when it is a 401(k) plan a maximum of $18,000. It is also expensive to set up and operate as it is designed for big companies.

We are evaluating a project that costs $874,800, has a nine-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 85,000 units per year. Price per unit is $55, variable cost per unit is $39, and fixed costs are $765,000 per year. The tax rate is 24 percent, and we require a return of 11 percent on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ±10 percent.
Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures
Answer:
best case scenario:
project outlay = $874,800
yearly cash flows:
projected sales = 85,000 x 110% = 93,500sales price = $55 x 110% = $60.50variable costs = $39 x 90% = $35.10fixed costs = $765,000 x 90% = $688,500depreciation costs = $874,800 / 9 = $97,200tax rate = 24%yearly cash flows = {[(93,500 x $60.50) - (93,500 x $35.10) - $688,500 - $97,200] x (1 - 24%)} + $97,200 = $1,304,992
using a financial calculator, NPV = $6,351,002.73
worst case scenario:
project outlay = $874,800
yearly cash flows:
projected sales = 85,000 x 90% = 76,500sales price = $55 x 90% = $49.50variable costs = $39 x 110% = $42.90fixed costs = $765,000 x 110% = $841,500depreciation costs = $874,800 / 9 = $97,200tax rate = 24%yearly cash flows = {[(76,500 x $49.50) - (76,500 x $42.90) - $841,500 - $97,200] x (1 - 24%)} + $97,200 = -$232,488
using a financial calculator, NPV = -$2,071,211.79
If a project has a cost of $10,000, expected net cash flows of $1500 a year for 12 years and you use a discount rate of 6%,
1. What is the following:
a. Payback period (no application of discount rate)
b. Payback period (using discount rate)
c. NPV
d. IRR
2. Should the project be accepted?
3. If another project has a cost of $10,000 and has expected life of 8 years and it will generate $3000 a year should you accept the project if your boss says the cost of capital is 5%?
Answer:
1a, 6.67 years
b. 8.9 years
c. NPV = $2,575.77
d. IRR = 10.45%
2. it should be accepted
3. it should be accepted.
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = $10,000 / $1500 = 6.67 years
Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows
discounted cash flow in year 1 = $1500 / 1.06 = $1415.09
discounted cash flow in year 2 = $1500 / 1.06^2 = $1,334.99
discounted cash flow in year 3 = $1500 / 1.06^3 = $1,259.43
discounted cash flow in year 4 = $1500 / 1.06^4 = $1,188.14
discounted cash flow in year 5 = $1500 / 1.06 ^5 = $1,120.89
discounted cash flow in year 6 = $1500 / 1.06^6 = $1,057.44
discounted cash flow in year 7 = $1500 / 1.06^7 = $997.59
discounted cash flow in year 8 = $941.12
please check the attached image on how the discounted payback period was calculated
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-10,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 12 = $1,500
I = 6%
NPV = $2,575.77
IRR = 10.45%
The project should be accepted because the NPV is positive, this indicates that the project is profitable. Also, the IRR is greater than the discount rate, so the project should be accepted.
to determine if the project should be accepted, the NPV of the project should be determined.
Cash flow in year 0 = $-10,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $3,000
I = 5%
NPV = $13,165.20
the project should be accepted because the NPV is positive
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Which of these does NOT describe a friction that might prevent firms from choosing the optimal level of capital? A. Making too big of a change can be more expensive than making a few smaller changes. B. A firm might not be able to borrow enough to pay for the investments it wants to make. C. The firm likes its workers and doesn’t want to replace some jobs with machinery. D. Some capital is very specialized and cannot be re-sold in cases of economic downturns.
Answer:
C. The firm likes its workers and doesn’t want to replace some jobs with machinery.
Explanation:
Optimal level of capital simply refers to an ideal strategy used by a firm to raise capital. For example, a firm may decide between debt financing or equity financing, depending on the company's desired level of capital.
So, an already operational firm with that likes its workers and doesn’t want to replace some jobs with machinery has no direct relationship with its level of capital.
Too Young, Inc., has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 7 percent and semiannual payments. The bond currently sells for $951 and matures in 23 years. The par value is $1,000. What is the company's pretax cost of debt?
Answer:
The company's pretax cost of debt is 7.45 %.
Explanation:
When it comes to bonds, the cost of debt is the required return on the bond known as the Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the bond.
The Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the bond can be determined as follows :
N = 23 × 2 = 46
PV = $951
Pmt = ($1,000 × 7 %) ÷ 2 = - $35
P/YR = 2
FV = - $1,000
YTM = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the bond is 7.4484 or 7.45 %
Therefore,
The company's pretax cost of debt is 7.45 %.
Tom Company reports the following data.
Sales $385,187
Variable costs 200,887
Fixed costs 87,300
Required:
Determine Tom Company's operating leverage. Round your answer to one decimal place.
Answer: 1.9
Explanation:
The Operating Leverage is calculated by;
Operating leverage = Contribution margin / Operating income
Contribution Margin
= Sales - Variable Costs
= 385,187 - 200,887
= $184,300
Operating Income
= Contribution Margin - Fixed Costs
= 184,300 - 87,300
= $97,000
Operating Leverage = 184,300/ 97,000
= 1.9
Jonas doesn't want to keep his savings in an account because he doesn't want to pay bank fees. Which of the following is an argument against Jonas's thinking? Cash allows people to live in the moment. It is better to have cash for emergencies. Money is safer in the bank. The cost of living is increasing yearly.
The correct answer is C. Money is safer in the bank.
Explanation:
The main point or position of Jonas is that savings should be kept in an account due to the costs associated with this. In this context, the only argument that refutes Jonas' position and it is directly related to the main point of Jonas is "Money is safer in the bank" because even if keeping savings in a bank requires to pay fees this guarantees the money will be safe, which does not occur if Jonas keeps his savings at home. Moreover, the safety factor makes the option of the bank better, which refutes Jonas position.
Answer:
Money is safer in the bank.

Harvey’s Hardware is thinking about starting a line of lawnmowers to serve its customer base in the summer. The lawnmowers would be priced at $100 and Harvey the manager believes that they would sell 3 units. They have the following estimated costs.
Units Produced Labor Cost Total cost
0 0 100
1 50 150
2 100 200
3 200 300
4 350 450
What is the marginal cost of producing the third unit?
a. $400
b. $300
c. $200
d. $100
Answer:
Harvey's Hardware
Marginal cost of producing the third lawnmowers:
d. $100
Explanation:
Harvey's marginal cost for producing the third unit of lawnmowers is the additional cost that resulted when the total cost increased from $200 to $300. However, it can be deciphered from the case that the marginal cost for Harvey, which it is supposed to be a variable cost, is traceable to the direct labor costs. This implies that the fixed cost element for Harvey in the production of the lawnmowers has been relatively fixed at $100. It does not vary with the volume of production, while the direct labor costs vary with the volume of lawnmowers produced by Harvey.

DPMO stands for:______
a) Defects Per Million Opportunity
b) Defectives Per Million Opportunity
c) Data Per Million Opportunity
d) all of the above
e) none of the above
Answer:
a) Defects Per Million Opportunity
Explanation:
DPMO is an acronym which stands for Defects Per Million Opportunity. Defects per Million Opportunities refers to a standard metric which represents the number of defects in a process per one million opportunities.
In order to calculate the DPMO, we divide the number of defects by the number of opportunities and then multiply by a million.
Additionally, when a quality characteristics or properties do not tally with a standard or specifications it is generally referred to as a defect.
Hence, in a six sigma approach to quality or level of performance, the defects per million opportunities (DPMO) is 3.4.

There is a 3 percent defect rate at a specific point in a production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the defects can be detected and eliminated. The inspector would cost $8 per hour and could inspect units in the process at the current production rate of 30 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $10 per defective unit to correct the defects later on. Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether the inspector is hired or not. a. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit $ b. If an inspector is not hired, what will be the defective cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit $ c. Should an inspector be hired based on costs alone? Yes No
Answer:
1a. $2.67 cost per unit
1b. $0.3 cost per unit
1c. Yes
Explanation:
1a. Calculation for what will be the inspection cost per unit If an inspector is hired
The following details were given in the question.
Defective average =3/100= 0.03
inspection rate = 30 per hour
Cost of inspector = 8 per hour
Correction cost = $10 each
Using this formula
Hired inspector =Cost per hour/Current production rate per hour
Let plug in the formula
Hired inspector=8 per hour/30 rate per hour
Hired inspector =0.267×100
Hired inspector=$2.67 cost per unit
1b. Calculation for what will be the defective cost per unit If an inspector is not hired
Using this Formula
No inspector=Defect rate %/Cost per defective
Let plug in the formula
No inspector= 3/100×$10
No inspector= $0.3 cost per unit
1c. Based on the above calculation the inspector should be hired.
Problem 14-15 Finding the WACC [LO3] You are given the following information for Watson Power Co. Assume the company’s tax rate is 21 percent. Debt: 16,000 6.5 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 27 years to maturity, selling for 105 percent of par; the bonds make semiannual payments. Common stock: 490,000 shares outstanding, selling for $67 per share; the beta is 1.18. Preferred stock: 21,500 shares of 4.3 percent preferred stock outstanding, currently selling for $88 per share. The par value is $100 per share. Market: 6 percent market risk premium and 5.4 percent risk-free rate. What is the company's WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
The company's WACC is 9.71%.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the computation of company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) can be described as the rate that is expected to be paid on average by a company to all holders of its securities to finance the assets of the company.
The following formula are used in the excel file to compute the WACC of the company.
Cost of debt = Type this function that is used in the excel sheet “=Rate(Number of years * 2,((Coupon rate/2)*Par value),-Selling price),Par value)*2*(1 - Tax rate)”. That is, type “=RATE(27*2,((6.5%/2)*1000),-1080,1000)*2*(1-21%)” in the excel file and press enter. This gives 4.83420280657156%
Note: Make sure you note all the commas and signs in the cost of debt function.
Cost of Common stock/equity using CAMP = Risk-free rate + (Beta * Market risk premium) = 5.4% + (1.18 * 6%) = 12.48%

Wilson Tech’s production cost data for the current period is: Beginning work in process inventory: 19,000 units Units transferred out: 9,800 units Ending work in process inventory: 6,200 units All materials are entered at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. The ending work in process units are 40% complete as to conversion costs. What are the equivalent units of production for conversion costs?
Answer:
the equivalent units of production for conversion costs is 12,280.
Explanation:
Calculation of the equivalent units of production for conversion costs.
Units transferred out (9,800 × 100 %) = 9,800
Units of ending work in process (6,200 × 40%) = 2,480
Equivalent units of production for conversion costs =12,280
