Answer:
$117
Explanation:
Costco Medical Supply's merchandise inventory:
Surgical equip. Surgical supplies Rehab equip. Rehab supplies
Selling price $276 $134 $354 $152
Cost $156 $136 $255 $152
Cost to sell $17 $17 $16 $7
Net realizable V. $259 $117 $338 $145
If we apply the lower of cost or net realizable rule for determining the value of surgical supplies, its value would be: $117 < $136
When we use the lower of cost or net realizable rule, we should value our inventory at the lowest value between original purchase cost and current net realizable value of the products.

Consider a $1,000-par-value 20-year zero-coupon bond issued at a yield to maturity of 10%. If you buy that bond when it is issued and continue to hold the bond as yields decline to 9%, the imputed interest income for the first year of that bond is
Answer:
$14.87
Explanation:
Computation the imputed interest income for the first year of the bond
First step
Using this formula
Imputed interest income= Par value/(1+yield to maturity)^Numbers of years
Let plug in the formula
Imputed interest income$1,000/(1.10)^20
Imputed interest income= $1,000/6.72749
Imputed interest income=$148.64
Second step
Imputed interest income=$1,000/(1.10)^19= Imputed interest income=$1,000/6.11590
Imputed interest income=$163.51
Hence,
Imputed interest income=$163.51 - $148.64
Imputed interest income= $14.87
Therefore the imputed interest income for the first year of the bond will be $14.87

Explanation:
In the description provided, it can be said that Prime Cuts will be an addition to the company's product line in the dog food market. A product line is a group of related products all marketed under a single brand name and are sold by the same company to the same targeted group of consumers.

The required investment cost of a new, large shopping center is $49 million. The salvage value of the project is estimated to be $20 million (the value of the land). The project's life is 15 years and the annual operating expenses are estimated to be $14 million. The MARR for such projects is 15% per year. What must the minimum annual revenue be to make the shopping center a worthwhile venture?
Answer:
The minimum annual revenue is 22.38 million.
Explanation:
Let the minimum annual revenue = X
Therefore,
The present value of cash inflows = Present value of cash outflows
X (P/A,15%,15) + 20 (P/F,15%,15)= 49*1 + 14(P/A,15%,15)
Now look into the annuity table or compound interest factor table and use that values to solve the equation.
X(5.847) + 20 (0.1229) = 49 + 14 (5.847)
X(5.847) = 130.858
X = 130.858 / 5.847
X = 22.38 millions
The minimum annual revenue = 22.38 million.

A firm recently reported EBITDA of $3.95 million, depreciation of $1.20 million, and had a tax rate of 40%. The firm's expenditures on fixed assets and net operating working capital totaled $1.2 million. How much was its free cash flow, in millions
Answer:
Free cash flow=$2.37
Explanation:
Calculation for how much was its free cash flow, in millions
Using this formula
Free cash flow =[ (Operating income * (1- tax rate) + Depreciation- Expenditures on fixed assets and net operating working capital]
Where,
Operating income =$3.95
(1- tax rate) = (1 - .40)
Depreciation=$1.20
Expenditures on fixed assets and net operating working capital=$1.2
Let plug in the formula
Free cash flow = [($3.95 * (1 - .40) + $1.20 - $1.2]
Free cash flow=$3.95*0.60+$1.20-$1.2
Free cash flow=$2.37+$1.20-$1.2
Free cash flow=$3.57-$1.2
Free cash flow=$2.37
Therefore the amount of its free cash flow, in millions will be $2.37
Instead of a dividend of $1.60 per share, the company has announced a share repurchase of $16,000 worth of stock. How many shares will be outstanding after the repurchase?
Answer:
9,690 stocks
Explanation:
some information is missing:
Market Value Balance Sheet
Cash $45,300 Equity $515,300
Fixed assets $470,000
Total $515,300 Total $515,300
total number of shares outstanding = 10,000
stock's market price = $515,300 / 10,000 = $51.53
stocks repurchased = $16,000 / $51.53 = 310.50, but we must round down to 310 stocks
stocks outstanding after repurchase = 10,000 - 310 = 9,690

The failure to record a purchase of mer chandise on account even though the goods are properly included in the physical inven tory results in
Answer: D. an understatement of expenses and an overstatement of owners' equity
Explanation:
If a purchase of merchandise was not recorded, it would mean that Purchases being an expense that contributes to the Cost of Goods sold would be understated.
This understatement would mean that the the Net income is overstated because the purchase expenses were never deducted from it. Net Income is part of owners' equity so if it is overstated, so is owners' equity .
Rahman stock just paid a dividend of $3.00 per share. Future dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% per year. What is the value of the stock if the required return is 12%
Answer:value of stock for the required return of 12 % = $53
Explanation:
Given
current dividend just paid = $3.00
dividend to grow at constant rate of 6%
required rate of return =12%
to calculate the value of stock for the requitred return of 12 % , we use the dividend growth model which is
Current price = dividend ( 1 + growth rate )/ (required rate -growth rate )
= 3 x (1+6%) / 12-6 = 3 x 1.06 /6% =3.18/0.06= $53
Therefore value of stock for the requitred return of 12 % ,= $53
A mother, aged 60, wishes to withdraw monies from her variable annuity to pay for her son's college education. Which statement is true regarding the taxation of the withdrawal?
A. The withdrawal is 100% taxable
B. Any amount withdrawn above the cost basis is taxable
C. Any amount withdrawn above the cost basis is taxable, and is subject to a 10% penalty tax
D. The withdrawal is not subject to tax
Answer:
Any amount withdrawn above the cost basis is taxable
Explanation:
This woman is above 59½ years at age 60. If she was least than 60, she would be owing a 10% penalty on the taxable amount of this withdrawal. But since she is above this age she has to pay income taxes on the whole taxable amount of the funds she withdrew. Variable annuities would never be taxed the money is withdrawn. Therefore option B is the best answer for This question.
A manufacturing company has variable overhead costs of $2.50 per unit and fixed costs of $5,000 per month. Each unit requires 4 hours of direct labor and the company expects to produce 2,000 units each month. The standard overhead rate will be
Answer:
Standard Overhead rate is $1.25 per Direct labor hours
Explanation:
Total variable cost (2000 unit * $2.50) = $5,000
Total fixed cost = $5,000
Estimated Overhead cost = $10,000
Estimated Direct labor hour = 2000 unit * 4 hours = 8,000 hours
Standard Overhead rate = Estimated overhead cost / Estimated Direct labor hour
Standard Overhead rate = $10,000 / 8,000 hours
Standard Overhead rate = $1.25 per Direct labor hours
Quantitative Problem 1: Assume today is December 31, 2017. Barrington Industries expects that its 2018 after-tax operating income [EBIT(1 – T)] will be $450 million and its 2018 depreciation expense will be $65 million. Barrington's 2018 gross capital expenditures are expected to be $110 million and the change in its net operating working capital for 2017 will be $30 million. The firm's free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.5% annually. Assume that its free cash flow occurs at the end of each year. The firm's weighted average cost of capital is 9%; the market value of the company's debt is $3 billion; and the company has 180 million shares of common stock outstanding. The firm has no preferred stock on its balance sheet and has no plans to use it for future capital budgeting projects. Using the free cash flow valuation model, what should be the company's stock price today (December 31, 2017)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per share
Answer:
$29.630
Explanation:
For computation of stock price first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Free cash flow = EBIT (1 - T) + Depreciation - Capital expenditure - Working capital
= $450 million + $65 million - $110 million - $30 million
= $375 million
Value of firm = Free cash flow ÷ (WACC - Growth)
= $375 million ÷ (9% - 4.5%)
= $375 million ÷ 0.045
= $8,333.33 million
Value of equity = Value of firm - Value of debt
= $8,333.33 million - $3,000 million
= $5,333.33 million
Stock price = Value of equity ÷ Outstanding shares
= $5,333.33 million ÷ 180 million
= $29.630

Carter Company reported the following financial numbers for one of its divisions for the year; average total assets of $4,100,000; sales of $4,525,000; cost of goods sold of $2,550,000; and operating expenses of $1,372,000. Compute the division's return on investment:
Answer:
14.7%
Explanation:
The computation of return on investment is shown below:
Return on Investment = Net Income ÷ Average total assets × 100
where,
Net Income is
= Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expense
= $4,525,000 - $2,550,000 - $1,372,000
= $603,000
And,
Average total assets = $4,100,000
So,
Return on Investment is
= $603,000 ÷ $4,100,000 × 100
= 14.7%

= $50,000
A coworker of Connor's recommends that she maximize the shelf space devoted to those drinks with the highest contribution margin per case. Do you agree with this recommendation? Explain briefly.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Ultimately I agree with the recommendation that has been given by Connor's coworker. By maximizing the shelf space specifically devoted to these drinks it will cause two things to happen. First, customers will mostly notice those drinks which will entice them to buy those drinks instead of the ones they cannot see. The second is that since customers are buying more of these drinks, the increase in sales will also increase profits, but since these items contribution margins are significantly higher than the others, it will cause profits to drastically increase.

A company’s common stock has a market value of $63.18 per share and its next dividend is expected to be $3.26 per share. The stock’s beta is 1.2, the tax rate is 35%, and the market risk premium is 6.1% per year. The yield to maturity for the company’s long-term debt is 6.4% per year. If the riskiness of the company’s equity requires that it provide a risk premium of 3.2% per year over the yield on its long-term debt, what is the company’s annual cost of internal equity financing?
Answer:
Cost of equity = 9.6%
Explanation:
The cost of equity is the return a firm theoretically pays to its equity investors, In order to calculate the cost of equity here we need to add up the yield to maturity for the company's long term debt and the risk premium per year over the yield on its long term debt.
Solution
Cost of equity = Yield to maturity + Risk premium
Cost of equity = 6.4% + 3.2%
Cost of equity = 9.6%
Blue Cab Company had 69,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the company issued 39,000 shares of common stock. The company had outstanding fully vested incentive stock options for 14,500 shares exercisable at $11 that had not been exercised by its executives. The end-of-year market price of common stock was $32 while the average price for the year was $31. The company reported net income in the amount of $364,915 for 2021. What is the diluted earnings per share (rounded)
Answer:
$3.38
Explanation:
The diluted earnings per share is calculated as;
First, we need to calculate the weighted average outstanding shares.
Weighted average outstanding share is
= Common shares + (Issued shares × 9/12[April - December] + [(Issued shares - Shares exercisable)
= 69,000 shares + (39,000 shares × 9/12) + ( 14,750* - 5,145*)
= 69,000 + 29,250 + 9,605
= 107,855
Therefore, the diluted earnings per share is;
= Net income / Weighted average outstanding shares
= $364,915 / 107,855
= $3.38
Note : (14,500 shares × 11) / 31
= 5,145

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
A company bought a piece of equipment for $49,200 and expects to use it for eight years. The company then plans to sell it for $4,000. The company has already recorded depreciation of $42,632.60. Using the double-declining-balance method, what is the company's annual depreciation expense for the upcoming year? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
a. $11,300.
b. $2,567.
c. $19,200.
d. $1,642.
The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the annual depreciation expenses.
Double declining depreciation method is an accelerated depreciation technique due to the fact the depreciation expenses are charged faster under it than under straight-line depreciation method.
The depreciation of double declining method is calculated by by multiplying the rate of straight-line depreciation method by 2.
From the question, the already recorded depreciation of $42,632.60 is the accumulated depreciation expenses for the 7th year.
Since the upcoming year is the 8th year which is the last year, the depreciation expense for it can be calculated as by adjusting for the residual value of $4,000 follows:
Equipment cost = $49,200
Accumulated Depreciation = $42,632.60
Residual value = $4,000
Estimated useful life = 8 years
Therefore, we have:
Straight line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 8 = 0.125, or 12.50%
Double declining depreciation rate = Straight line method depreciation rate * 2 = 12.50% * 2 = 25%
Beginning book value of the equipment in the upcoming year or in the 8th year = Equipment cost - Accumulated Depreciation = $49,200 - $42,632.60 = $6,567.40
Annual depreciation expense for the upcoming year or for the 8th year = Beginning book value of the equipment - Residual value = $6,567.40 - $4,000 = $2,567
Therefore, the correct option b. $2,567.
In a production bottleneck situation, the product with the highest contribution margin per unit should be given priority over a product that has the highest contribution margin per bottleneck hour.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
b. false
Explanation:
A bottleneck is a point at which there is the stoppage in the system of production. The inefficiencies that are generated through the bottleneck developed the delays and leads to the high cost of production
Here in the given situation, since there is the highest contribution margin per unit that gives more priority as compared with the contribution margin per bottleneck hour i.e. totally wrong as it should give the priority to the contribution margin per bottleneck hour
Therefore the given statement is false
Suppose the rate of inflation was 2 percent in India from 2008-2012 and, over that same period, the inflation rate in the United States was 2.7 percent. Based on these inflation trends, which of the following is true?
a. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has depreciated relative to the dollar.
b. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar
Answer:
b. The PPP condition implies that the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar
Explanation:
Remember, the inflation rate looks at how the prices of goods and services in a country increases over a period of time, and it's effects on the the purchasing value or power of money in the country.
As in this scenario, India had 2 percent inflation rate while United States had 2.7 which is a higher price increases not in a different period but the same one, meaning that the Purchasing power parity (PPP) condition of the rupee has appreciated relative to the dollar from 2008-2012.

Lance contributed investment property worth $507,500, purchased Five years ago for $312,500 cash, to Cloud Peak LLC in exchange for an 70 percent profits and capital interest in the LLC. Cloud Peak owes $380,000 to its suppliers but has no other debts.
Required information
A. What is Lance’s tax basis in his LLC interest?
B. What is Lance’s holding period in his interest?
C. What is Cloud Peak’s basis in the contributed property?
D. What is Cloud Peak’s holding period in the contributed property?
Answer:
a. Lance's Tax basis in his LLC interest
= Basis of investment property + Shares in LLC debt
= $312,500 + ($380,000 * 70%)
= $312,500 + $266,000
= $578,500
Therefore, LLC common debt obligation treated as non-recourse debt, lance income allocation ratio is used to allocate a share of LLC debt to him
b. Lance holding period in his interest is 5 years. The holding period of the contributed assets "tacks onto" his partnership interest because Lance contributed a capital asset
c. Cloud Peak's basis in the contributed property is $312,500. Also, the carryover basis would be taken by the LLC in the contributed property
d. Cloud's Peak holding period in the contributed property is 3 years
You consider undertaking the research project. It will increase sales by $100K per year starting next year and its life is 10 years. The maintenance cost is $50K and the depreciation of the equipment is 20K per year. The tax rate is 40% and there are no changes in net operating working capital. What is the annual operating cash flow from the project? A. $10,000 B. $18,000 C. $38,000 D. $30.000
Answer: C. $38,000
Explanation:
The Operating cashflow for a project will be the net income earned from it less any taxes but including depreciation.
In formula form;
Operating cash flow = EBIT - tax paid + depreciation
Earnings Before Interest and Tax
= Sales - Expenses
= 100,000 - 50,000 - 20,000
= $30,000
Tax paid
= EBT * 40%
= 30,000 * 40%
= $12,000
Operating cash flow = EBIT - tax paid + depreciation
= 30,000 - 12,000 + 20,000
= $38,000
Note; Depreciation is added back because it is a non-cash expense.
