Answers

Answer 1

Answer: d. any of the choices.

Explanation:

Chaz is not to transfer the duties to a third party if Dolly got into the agreement with Chaz for any of the following;

If Dolly places special trust in the ability of Chaz to perform the maintenance then that trust should not be broken by transferring the duties to a third party. Dolly went into that contract because they trusted in the abilities of Chaz.If Dolly went into the contract due to the personal skills or talents of Chaz, the duties against would be non-transferable. Chaz's skills were the reason the contract was signed, if these skills are not to be used then the contract will be baseless. By signing with Chaz, Dolly expects a certain level of performance. If the performance that will be made by a third contracting party is materially different from the one that Dolly would have expected from Chez, the duties will not be transferable.

Tyler Company applies manufacturing overhead to production at the rate of $4.9 per direct labor hour and ended August with $12,900 underapplied overhead. Actual manufacturing overhead incurred for August amounted to $110,410.
How many direct labor hours did Tyler Company incur during August?

Answers

Answer: 19,900 hours

Explanation:

Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour

Applied Manufacturing Overhead

When the overhead is said to be under-applied, the Applied overhead is less than the Actual Overhead.

To find the Applied overhead therefore;

= Actual Overhead - Under-applied amount

= 110,410 - 12,900

= $97,510

Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour

= 97,510/4.9

= 19,900 hours

Answers

Answer:

Busch Company

Indication of whether the obligation be classified as a current liability, long-term liability, or both:

(a) A note payable for $100,000 due in 2 years. Long-term Liability

(b) A 10-year mortgage payable of $200,000 payable in ten $20,000 annual payments.   Both.

Every year, $20,000 would be classified as Current Liability while the remaining balance is long-term liabilities.

(c) Interest payable of $15,000 on the mortgage. Both

If the interest payable is to be settled at the end of the mortgage, then it is classified as only long-term.

(d) Accounts payable of $60,000. Current Liability

Explanation:

Busch's current liabilities are financial obligations that are due for settlement within the next accounting period of 12 months or less.

The long-term liabilities of Busch Company are those financial obligations that are not due for settlement within the next accounting period.

For some long-term liabilities, Busch may settle some part within 12 months.  That part that can be settled within the accounting period are classified as current while the other parts are non-current.

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.2 per direct labor dollar

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Company estimates total manufacturing overhead costs of $882,000 and, direct labor costs of $735,000

To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 882,000/735,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.2 per direct labor dollar

Kosher Pickle Company acquires all the outstanding stock of Midwest Produce for $12.5 million. The fair value of Midwest's assets is $8.5 million. The fair value of Midwest's liabilities is $1.3 million. Calculate the amount paid for goodwill

Answers

Answer:

$5.3 million

Explanation:

Kosher pickle company acquires outstanding stock of Midwest produce for $12.5 million

Fair value of Midwest assets is $8.5 million

Fair value of Midwest liabilities is $1.3 million

The first step is to calculate the fair value of net identifiable assets

= $8.5 million-$1.3 million

=7.2 million

Therefore, the amount paid for goodwill can be calculated as follows

= $12.5 million-$7.2 million

= $5.3 million

Answer:

after tax cash flow = $29,512.32

Explanation:

the numbers are missing in this question:

purchase cost = $82,000

tax rate = 40%

selling price at end of year 4 = $32,000

MACRS 7 year depreciation schedule:

year             %            depreciation expense         carrying value

1                  14.29%           $11,717.80                          $70,282.20

4                 12.49%           $10,241.80                        $25,780.80

after tax cash flow = $32,000 - [($32,000 - $25,780.80) x 40%] = $32,000 - $2,487.68 = $29,512.32

In Macroland autonomous consumption equals 100, the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.75, net taxes are fixed at 40, planned investment is fixed at 50, government purchases are fixed at 150, and net exports are fixed at 20. Planned aggregate expenditure equals:________a.1,000. b.1,160. c.1,280. d.1,440.

Answers

Answer:

b) $1,160

Explanation:

From the above information,

I=Investment = 50

G=Government expenditure = 150

X=Net export = 20

a=autonomous consumption = 100

b=Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75

Y=Equilibrium GDP

C = consumption ;

C = 100 + 0.75Y (Y income - 40 taxes)

Planned aggregate expenditure (PAE)

PAE = C + l +G +X

Substituting for C in the above equation,

PAE = 100 + 0.75 (Y - 40) + 50 + 150+ 20

= 100 + 0.75Y -30 + 50 + 150 + 20

= 290 + 0.75Y

Since short run exists when Y = PAE

Therefore,

Y = 290 + 0.75Y

Collect like terms

Y - 0.75Y = 290

0.25Y =290

Y = 290/0.25

Y = 1,160

a. The theoretical minimum number of workstations is:___________
b. The assignment of tasks to workstations should be:________

Were you able to assign all the activities to workstations equivalent to the theoretical minimum workstation ?

c. The efficiency of the assembly line is:________

Answers

Answer:

Please see explanation below.

Explanation:

a. Cycle time = Production time available per hour / Units required per hour

= 60 / 5

= 12minutes

Minimum number of workstations = Sum of the task time / Cycle time

Sum of task time

= 8 + 10 + 8 + 10 + 8 + 4

= 48

The theoretical minimum number of work stations is

= 48 / 12

= 4

b. In order to assign the tasks to the work station, events that precede the task must be considered together with the time taken to complete each task.

°Task A This task is assigned to work station 1 and no task would further be assigned to work station 1, otherwise it will exceed the cycle time.

°Task B. This next task will be assigned to work station 2, no additional task will be assigned to station 2.

Task C is assigned to workstation 3, hence can no longer accept any other assigned task.

°Task D is the next task and will be assigned to work station 4, and we cannot assign any more task to work station 4.

°Task E and F will not be assigned as there are no more available stations.

Task Time Workstation

A. 8 1

B. 10 2

C. 8 3

D. 10 4

E. 8 -

F. 4 -

Please note that due to the theoretical minimum number of work station, which is 4, it will not be possible to assign task to all the workstations hence task E and F remains unassigned.

C. Efficiency of the assembly line

Efficiency ;

= Sum of task times / Actual number of work stations × cycle time

Although the actual number of required workstation is 5 but we cannot assign task E and F due to the theoretical minimum number of workstation. Therefore, additional work station will be required and there are 5 work stations in total.

= 48 ÷ (5 × 12) × 100

= 80%

The theoretical minimum should be = 4

The efficiency of the assembly line should be 80 percent

The production time = 60

The units that are required per hour = 5

[tex]cycle time = \frac{minutes in one hour}{units needed in a day} \\\\cycle time=\frac{60}{5}[/tex]

= 12

The workstation = 8+10+8+10+8+4

= 48

[tex]The minimum number = \frac{48}{12} \\\\= 4[/tex]

The stock pays a dividend of $2 per year and its price is $80. If the market return is 7% and the risk-free rate is 1%, what is the stock beta? A. 0.4 B. 0.5 C. 0.25 D. 0.1

Answers

Answer:

The beta of the stock is 0.25 and option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The current price of a stock which pays a constant dividend can be determined using the zero growth dividend model of DDM. The formula to calculate the price under this model is,

P0 = Dividend / r

Where,

r is the required rate of return on the stock

As we already know the value of P0 and Dividend, we can plug in these values in the formula and calculate the value of r.

80 = 2 / r

80 * r = 2

r = 2 / 80

r = 2.5% or 0.025

The required rate of return can also be calculated using the CAPM equation. The formula for r under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on market

To calculate beta, we will input the values for r, rRf and rM in the CAPM equation.

Let beta be x.

0.025 = 0.01 + x * (0.07 - 0.01)

0.025 - 0.01 = x * 0.06

0.015 / 0.06 = x

x = 0.25

Thus, beta is 0.25

b. Estimate Kroger's weighted-average cost of capital. Prepare a spreadsheet or table showing the relevant variables.

Answers

Answer:

a. 11.16 %

b. 7.56 %

Explanation:

Cost of equity capital is the return that is required by Common Stockholders.

This can be determined as follows :

1. Growth Model

Cost of equity = Recent dividend / Market Price of Share + Expected Growth Rate

or

2. Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

Cost of equity = Return on Risk Free Security + Beta × Return on Market Portfolio Security

                       = 4.54% + 1.05 × 6.30%

                       = 11.16 %

WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V) +Kp × (P/V)

Explanation and value of Variables

Ke = Cost of Equity

     = 11.16 %

E/V = Weight of Equity

      = $ 4,965 ÷ ( $ 4,965 + $ 6,674)

      = 42.66 %

Kd = Cost of Debt :

    = Interest × (1 - tax rate)

    = 7.50% × ( 1 - 0.35)

    = 4.875 or 4.88 %

D/V = Weight of Debt

      = $ 6,674 ÷ ( $ 4,965 + $ 6,674)

      = 57.34 %

Therefore,

WACC = 11.16 % × 42.66 % + 4.88 % × 57.34 %

           = 7.56 %

Choose the statement that is incorrect.
A. In the long​ run, a rise in the foreign price level brings dollar appreciation and a rise in the U.S. price level brings dollar depreciation.
B. In the long​ run, a change in the nominal exchange rate brings an equivalent change in the real exchange rate.
C. In the long​ run, the nominal exchange rate is a monetary phenomenon.
D. In the long​ run, the nominal exchange rate is determined by the quantities of money in two countries.

Answers

Answer:

B. In the long​ run, a change in the nominal exchange rate brings an equivalent change in the real exchange rate.

Explanation:

As we know that in the short run there is a decline in the nominal exchange that results in a decrease of real exchange rate due to which there is a reduction of the import and the export is risen.

But in the case of the long run, if there is a change in the nominal exchange rate so the real exchange rate would remain the same

This results that if there is a change in the nominal exchange rate so it would not bring the equal change in the real exchange rate

Hence, option B is incorrect

An investment adviser places large block trades for securities positions that are being purchased for its customers' accounts in order to lower its commission costs. The trades are often executed piecemeal, at different prices. The adviser, after being confirmed that the entire block has been filled, allocates the shares to its accounts. As a favor to its most valuable employees, the adviser allocates the shares purchased at the lowest prices to its employees' accounts; and then allocates the remaining shares to its customer accounts pro-rata. The adviser has disclosed its allocation method only to its employees. Which statement is TRUE

Answers

Answer: The investment adviser has breached its fiduciary duty because it has not disclosed its method of allocating shares to its customers

Explanation:

The options to the question are:

a. The investment adviser has breached its fiduciary duty to its customers because the block order must be executed at one price, not in pieces at differing prices

b. The investment adviser has breached its fiduciary duty because it has not disclosed its method of allocating shares to its customers

c. The investment adviser has not breached its fiduciary duty because it has disclosed its method of allocating shares to its employees

d. The investment adviser has not breached its fiduciary duty to customers because it has obtained trade executions for customers at lower commission costs.

Based on the scenario in the question, it should be noted that the investment adviser has breached its fiduciary duty because it has not disclosed its method of allocating shares to its customers.

Fiduciary duty is a legal obligation whereby a party has to work in the best interest of the other party and should also be trustworthy but in this situation, this isn't thw case.

Use information from the Washington Post article "Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans" to determine whether each statement is true or false.

a. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), worldwide catches peaked in 2001 at 86 million tons.
b. Using catch reconstruction, researchers estimate that the actual peak catch was 50% larger than the reported peak catch.
c, Catch reconstruction shows that, since the peak, catches have been increasing, not decreasing as previously reported.
d. The Sea Around Us Project found several problems with the FAO data, such as the fact that data that were not available were reported as catches of zero fish.

Answers

Answer:

"Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans"

Determining whether each statement is true or false:

a. False

b. True

c. False

d. True

Explanation:

The article "Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans," was published by the Washington Post on January 19, 2016.  It was written by Chelsea Harvey.  It tried to show how the world fish stock had been declining due to overfishing.  This is why it provided a report contrary to the FAO report.  

While the FAO report noted that the peak of worldwide catches was at 86 million tons in 1996, the contrary and independent report, using "catch reconstruction" showed that the peak was at 130 million tons in 1996.  The reconstructed research also showed that worldwide fish catches had suffered declines ever since the 1996 peak, thereby threatening "world food security and marine ecosystems".  The contrary report also suggested that all stakeholders must collaborate so that fish stocks can rebuild naturally.

A sole proprietor owned an office building with a cost of $300,000 and accumulated depreciation of $40,000, using modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) straight-line depreciation. In the current year, she sold the building for $320,000. What is the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain from this sale, if any

Answers

Answer:

The Correct Answer:

$40,000

Explanation:

IRC Section 1250 requires that excess depreciation (actual depreciation in excess of straight-line depreciation) be recaptured as ordinary income. Since the property has sold for more than the adjusted basis ($300,000 − $40,000 = $260,000 adjusted basis), the initial gains are recaptured based on the original purchase price of $300,000.

This makes the first $40,000 of the profit subject to the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain while the remaining $20,000 is considered regular long-term capital gains.

Hawk Corporation purchased 10,000 Diamond Corporation bonds in 2015 for $55 per bond and classified the investment as securities available for sale. The value of the Diamond investment was $85 per bond on December 31, 2016, and $97 on December 31, 2017. During 2018, Hawk sold all of its Diamond investment at $147 per bond. In its 2018 income statement, Hawk would report:_________.

Answers

Answer:

Gain of $920,000

Explanation:

Calculation for what Hawk would report In its 2018 income statement.

First step is the adjustment of Hawk accumulation of unrealized holding gain and fair value for 205-2017

Unrealized holding gain and fair value Adjustment=($97- 55) × 10,000 shares

Unrealized holding gain and fair value Adjustment=$42×10,000 shares

Unrealized holding gain and fair value Adjustment= $420,000

Second step is to find the additional increase that occurred in 2018

Additional increase=($147-$97)×10,000 shares

Additional increase=50×10,000 shares

Additional increase =$500,000

Last step is to find the total gain realized in the income statement

Total gain realized=$500,000+$420,000

Total gain realized=$920,000

Therefore what Hawk would report In its 2018 income statement will be a gain of $920,000

Present value of net cash flow $
Amount to be invested
Net present value $
b. Would management be likely to look with favor on the proposal?
Yes , because the net present value indicates that the return on the proposal is greater than the minimum desired rate of return of 15%.

Answers

Answer:

0                     -$150,000

1                        $80,000

2                       $65,000

3                       $50,000

4                       $40,000

A) NPV = -$150,000 + ($80,000 x .87) + ($65,000 x .756) + ($50,000 x .658) + ($40,000 x .572) = -$150,000 + $69,600 + $49,140 + $32,900 + $22,880 = -$150,000 + $174,520 = $24,520

B) Yes , because the net present value indicates that the return on the proposal is greater than the minimum desired rate of return of 15%. Since the NPV is positive ($24,520), it means that the cash inflows are higher than the cash outflows when we use a 15% discount rate.

The EOQ model assumes inventory: Multiple Choice can be delivered immediately upon order. is sold at a steady rate until it is depleted. will be available just as it is needed for production. is held at a constant level. has seasonal fluctuations.

Answers

Answer:

is sold at a steady rate until it is depleted

Explanation:

The EOQ means Economic order quantity that refers to a quantity which the company should purchase for its inventory

In this order quantity, the carrying cost and the ordering cost are equivalent to each other

Also we assume that the demand would remain the same and the inventory should be depleted at a fixed rate unless it reaches to a zero

Hence, the second option is correct

MicroTech Corporation maintains a capital structure of 40 percent debt and 60 percent common equity. To finance its capital budget for next year, the firm will sell 11% coupon bonds at par value (assume no flotation costs). The firm will finance the rest of its capital expenditures with retained earnings. MicroTech expects next year's dividend to be $1.30 per share. Dividends are expected to grow at 7% per year for the foreseeable future. The current market value of MicroTech's common stock is $30 per share. If the firm has a corporate tax rate of 21%, what is its weighted cost of capital for next year?

Answers

Answer:

weighted cost of capital for next year is 10.27 %.

Explanation:

Weighted cost of capital = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V)

Ke = Cost of Equity

    = Dividend Yield + Expected growth rate

    = $1.30 / $30.00 + 0.07

    = 0.11333 or 11.33 %

Kd = Cost of Debt

     = Interest × (1 - tax rate)

     = 11% × ( 1 - 0.21)

     = 8.69 %

Weighted cost of capital =  11.33 % × 60% + 8.69 % × 40%

                                         = 10.27 %

A firm has a required return of 14.2% and a beta of 1.63. If the risk-free rate is currently 5.4%, what is the expected return to the market? Assume that CAPM is correct.

Answers

Answer:

10.8%

Explanation:

Required rate of return = Risk free rate + Beta x ( Expected rate - Risk free rate )

14.2% = 5.4% + 1.63 x ( market rate - 5.4% )

14.2% - 5.4% = 1.63 x ( market rate - 5.4% )

8.8% / 1.63 = market rate - 5.4%

5.4% = market rate - 5.4%

Market rate = 5.4% + 5.4%

Market rate = 10.8%

Market rate = 10.8%
